Progress Staff Writer
PAYNE A beautiful wet-
lands and a wildlife nature
preserve is located just 3.5
miles north of Payne on Ohio
49. As you are driving by, you
may not notice the pictur-
esque place unless you are
looking for it.
The 28-acre property was
purchased by Collie and
Myrna Lamb about 20 years
ago as part of a family estate
sale. The 28 acres had previ-
ously been farmed, but the
Lambs wanted to make it into
a place of beauty.
Many trees, including pin
oak, arborvitae, crab apple,
black elder, cotton wood, wil-
lows and many more were
planted by the Lambs. Today
one can see the results of their
labor as the trees line around
the property waving their
branches in the wind.
Another item which was
planted was 11 acres of sun-
flowers. Walking towards the
wetland from the road, gazing
ahead, one can see nothing but
fields of yellow.
The sunflowers spread out
and multiply and for the next
couple of weeks they will be
standing tall with their bright
yellow flowers waving in the
winds.
A small mowed path from
the side of the road leads back
to the preserve. There are two
ponds on site which have be-
come a natural habitat for
many animals.
Lamb said, There is all
kinds of wildlife out here.
There are many types of birds,
raccoons, skunks, opossum,
turkeys, ducks and geese who
come and visit.
The birds love to feast on
the sunflower seeds and one
can observe and also listen to
the many song birds.
The butterflies are content-
edly flying around, flitting
here and there for an avid na-
ture watcher to observe.
There are at least five or six
different types of grass which
provide hiding places for any
wildlife wanting to conceal
themselves.
Collie and Myrna Lamb re-
side in Payne and invite any-
one wanting to observe this
natural habitat for plants, ani-
mals, birds and butterflies can
stop by.
While traveling north of
Payne on Ohio 49, one should
look for a small mowed path,
lots of trees, and fields of sun-
flowers. Visitors are invited to
park at the edge of the road
and walk down the small nar-
row mowed path which leads
to a spot of enchanted beauty.
In a few short months, win-
ter will bring cold tempera-
tures and blowing snow.
However, Lambs nature pre-
serve will be providing a place
for creatures small and large
to protect themselves from the
cold.

Approximately 11 acres of sunflowers provides beauty for nature lovers and food for Gods
creatures.

People are welcome to stop and view the trees, flowers and
wildlife.

ues are determined by the Ohio
Department of Taxation and updated
in conjunction with the countys tri-
ennial update. Not all Ohio counties
are scheduled for reappraisal or up-
dates in the same year.
Property owners may review their
valuation in person Oct. 2-11 at the
real estate department of the auditors
office on the first floor of the county
courthouse between the hours of 8
a.m.-4:30 p.m. weekdays or by call-
ing the office at 419-399-8205.
The new 2013 value will also be
available on the internet during this
open inspection period on the real es-
tate website at www.paulding-
PAULDING Paulding County
Auditor Claudia Fickel has an-
nounced that the 2013 triennial up-
date values have received state ap-
proval. Countywide, residential prop-
erties have received an average de-
crease of 3%. These values will be
open for inspection beginning Oct. 2-
11.
Ohio law requires that each county
in the state conduct a reappraisal
every six years. Generally in every
third year following a revaluation a
triennial update of values by neigh-
borhood is mandated to better reflect
the current market conditions.
A decrease in value does not neces-
sarily compute to a comparable de-
crease in tax. Ohio Legislation en-
sures that approximately the same
amount is collected each year for the
voted millage. Therefore, levy mill-
age rates will be factored up or down
by the Department of Taxation so that
the total amount collected will re-
main consistent with the amount
originally voted.
This is an important detail to un-
derstand because the triennial update
law is designed to equalize all values
among taxpayers, not to increase rev-
enue for the taxing authorities: in
other words this is not a means of
raising taxes or lowering taxes, its a
re-balancing of the tax value burden
among individual properties and
classes, Fickel stressed.
An estimation of tax cannot be de-
termined at this time due to the tax
levies that are currently on the
November 2013 ballot. The
Department of Taxation does not re-
lease tax rates until county election
results have been certified and also
the certification of values for taxing
authorities that overlap adjoining
counties.
In addition to a decline in residen-
tial property values, no change was
recommended in regards to the indus-
trial and commercial property and a
15% increase in agricultural property
throughout the county.
The county did realize an increase
in agricultural land valuation for all
properties enrolled in the CAUV tax
savings program. The CAUV soil val-

Epizootic hemorrhagic dis-
ease (EHD) has been found in
Ohio white-tailed deer.
Samples from 13 deer in eight
counties were positive. Eight
counties in Ohio have been
confirmed and Paulding is one
of them. State animal health
officials stress EHD occurs
annually in deer herds across
North America.
White-tailed deer contract
EHD from biting midges,
which typically live near
water. The disease is not
spread from deer-to-deer or
from deer-to-humans. Once
infected, deer show symptoms
within five to ten days.
Infected deer initially lose ap-
petite and fear of man, grow
progressively weaker, often
salivate excessively, and be-
come unconscious. Many deer
die within 36 hours of the
onset of symptoms.
Midges can also spread
EHD among cattle and sheep.
These outbreaks may occur at
the same time deer are being
impacted. However, this is not
a case of the disease spreading
from deer-to-livestock or vice
versa, but is an indication that
the biting midges are present
in large enough numbers to
spread the disease.
State wildlife officials stress
to those planning to hunt im-
pacted areas this fall that al-
though this disease does not
affect humans or impact the
safety of consumed deer.
Hunters should report deer
that appear to be sick or dis-
eased to their local wildlife of-
ficer. Deer that appear un-
healthy should never be taken
for human food.

nee-Lagrange. In the book I
give my recommendations
for lodging, best Amish eats,
bakeries, bulk foods, Amish
furniture stores, Amish-run
bed and breakfasts, immer-
sion opportunities and more.
This is a travel guide to
Amish country that pulls it all
together in, I hope, a breezy,
user-friendly way with maps,
sidebars, etc. The book is
heavily tilted towards show-
casing Amish-owned or Men-
nonite-owned businesses and
restaurants where one can go
to sample culturally authentic
meals.
Here is a excerpt from the
tips section of the book.
Tips for Making the Most of
your visit to Amish Country
We spend a lot of time in
this book recommending visit-
ing Amish-owned home-based
businesses, whether that be
buying a dozen fresh eggs or
stopping into a quilt shop. Vis-
iting a home-based Amish
business is a great way to make
new friends and see their farm-
steads first-hand.
Always employ the
golden rule when visiting
an Amish home or business.
Be respectful and courteous.
You probably wouldnt want
someone tromping through
your flower beds or garden
and peering in your windows,
so its a safe bet an Amish
person doesnt want that ei-
ther. Here are some other sug-
gestions to make your trip
more enjoyable:
Buy, dont browse. Time is
money for most entrepre-
neurs and the Amish are no
different. Dont visit a home-
based Amish business and
launch into a three-hour con-
versation about your grand-
children or garden back
home. Do go in and exchange
pleasantries and small talk,
but even such small interac-

Lovinas column will re-
turn next week. The column
is taking a break this week, so
I can take a brief hiatus to
enjoy the arrival of my first
child. Ive watched Lovinas
eight children grow up over
the years, so I am excited to
be beginning this new chapter
of my life.
By the time you read this,
my wife will probably have
given birth to our daughter.

kind words and well-wishes.
I will take this week to tell
you about a book Ive been
working on, in a sense, for
over 20 years.
Over the past two decades
I have explored Amish settle-
ments from Maine to Mon-
tana, from Missouri to
Minnesota, from Texas to
Florida.
Whereas, Amish communi-
ties used to be clustered gen-
erally in Ohio, Indiana,
Pennsylvania and a handful
of other Midwestern states,
that is no longer the case.
For those wanting a taste of
the faith and family-filled life
of the Amish, you probably
need look no farther than
your home state. But, there
has never been a travel guide
providing comprehensive in-
formation about Amish
Country. Until now. Introduc-
ing The Williams Guide to
Amish Country, scheduled
for release Oct. 1.

of day-trips, long weekends,
and vacation itineraries in
Amish settlements across the
USA.
The book is divided by
states and then subdivided by
settlements. So, you can flip
to Indiana and easily look up
Parke Countys Amish com-
tions should be accompanied
by a purchase.
Of course there are times
when youre going to want to
just browse and enjoy the
craftsmanship at an Amish
furniture store or quilt shop
and thats great, just be re-
spectful of the proprietors
time.
Cash not Credit. The vast
majority of Amish businesses
do not accept credit cards.
Some of the bigger bulk food
stores and bakeries do, but
they are still the exception
rather than the rule. Most
Amish businesses will accept
checks, but with horse and
buggy being the main mode
of transport it can take a long
time for a deposit to go
through, so if you dont bal-
ance your checkbook me-
thodically, a check hitting
your account five weeks later
can be a surprise.
We once bought some cin-
namon rolls from an Amish
bake sale and the check was
deposited three months later.
So we like to use cash when
shopping in Amish country,
especially at the home-based
businesses

Calling for the death
of the Newspapers
Are Dead rumor
I know of newspapers that kept their communities informed
about clean water and shelter during terrible storms and disas-
ters.
I know of newspapers that exposed crooks, lost a lot of adver-
tising from the crooks buddies and still put out a paper every
week.
I know of a newspaper that had an ironic sense of humor that
even offended a few readers and stood its ground with a come
on people, have a brain retort.
I know of publishers who took pay cuts during the recession
rather than cut staff.
I know of publishers who lost everything in a lightning strike
but had such a dedicated crew the readers got the paper next
week on time.
I know of editors who have been screamed at, vilified and
afraid for their childrens safety because they wrote the tough
truth.
I know of reporters who risked life and limb in war zones and
came back to tell the community of their troops bravery.
All of this has happened in the past couple of years.
And people say newspapers are dead? Come on, people.
Have a brain.
Newspapers are alive and lively. Our communities shrivel and
die when there is no newspaper.
The fact is: the Internet is no enemy of a good community
newspaper. The enemy of a good newspaper is indifference. A
community that doesnt care about honesty and clean govern-
ment, effective schools, invigorating community service or the
connections that bind us into a functioning society is a commu-
nity that doesnt need a newspaper. That community wont be
around long.
Good communities make good newspapers and vice versa.
We have all faced a rough economy. We all are looking at how
digital transformation affects every aspect of our lives. But as
president of the National Newspaper Association, which repre-
sents nearly 2,200 community newspapers, as well as a pub-
lisher of thriving weekly newspapers in Georgia, I am now
calling for the death of the newspapers are dead rumor. We
cant afford it.
The fact is that while very large newspapers have faced big
challenges to their businesses, Americas thousands of commu-
nity papers are as healthy as their communities. NNAs research
in partnership with the University of Missouri R J Reynolds In-
stitute reports 83 percent of the people in towns with commu-
nity newspapers say they rely on those newspapers as their
principal source of news and information.
We print better looking pages than ever because of advanced
technologies. We can shoot video for our websites with as up-
to-the minute precision as TV crews. We put out tweets and
posts and pin pictures to new social media sites.
The Internet isnt going to kill us. Its giving us new tools to
work better, faster and smarter.
People who say otherwise arent reading their community
newspapers. They are missing the real news.
Established in 1885, the National Newspaper Association
(NNA) represents 2,200 owners, publishers and editors of
Americas community newspapers. NNAs mission is to protect,
promote and enhance Americas community newspapers. Visit
NNA at www.nnaweb.org.

Why Paulding County
is a great place to live!
Recently I was patronizing a local business on the square
in downtown Paulding, and as I gazed out the large picture
window I felt a swell of pride for our beautiful county. So, I
began to think of why I think Paulding County is a great
place to live.
Our county seat, the Village of Paulding, is anchored by
our beautiful courthouse.
The courthouse sits majesti-
cally on a beautifully land-
scaped lawn dotted with
trees that explode in fall col-
ors.
The businesses around the
square are growing and in-
clude fabulous restaurants, a
bakery, gift shop, fitness centers, thrift and antique stores,
hair dresses, furniture store, jeweler, a historic armory, attor-
neys, and more.
Our new park named for Herb Monroe rivals any trendy,
upscale park in an urban area.
Our villages throughout the county are filled with families,
many who have lived here for generations. Their main streets
are vibrant and growing. They are Main Street U.S.A.
Our farmland is second to none. During the time of har-
vest, there is a certain dusty glow to the sky that paints in-
credible sunrises and sunsets that take your breath away.
If you are lucky enough to live in the country, surrounded by
rich farmland, your landscape is always changing. What will
it be this year? Beans? Corn? Wheat?
Our rivers and creeks are picturesque and tranquil. And
now, there is a new business in the county that will put you
in and take you out of the Auglaize river so now many of
us will have the opportunity to enjoy the recreation of the
river from the seat of a kayak.
Speaking of recreation our children have top of the line
ball parks, playgrounds, water park, skateboard park, fishing
ponds, hiking trails and campgrounds.
Our festivals draw thousands into our beloved county from
all over.
Have you bowled lately? Bowling is a great way to spend
time with friends and family. Have you taken your grandchil-
dren to the alley lately?
Our historical museum provides a place for old-timers to
remember and youngsters to imagine what came before. Our
public libraries are second to none.
Paulding Countys schools although rivals during sport-
ing seasons sit side by side encouraging each other when
one is fighting for a state championship. There are no bound-
aries when cousins and friends are rooting for our county
champions!
And, there are no boundaries when we are fighting for our
causes Relay for Life, The Habitat for Humanity Hog Run,
United Way, T.G.I.F. and the dozens of fundraisers that are
held each year to support our neighbors and even those who
may be strangers. We are family. We all pitch in and help.
We enjoy four seasons here in Paulding County. Granted,
there have been times that if you blinked, you would miss
one, but I challenge anyone not to be amazed at the beauty
when they see a tulip tree or fruit tree bloom with spring
blossoms; or a bed of irises reach through the clay. The first
snow brings a cold cleansing and automatically puts us in
cozy mode. Time for fires, sweaters, warm soups, family
get-togethers, and the holidays. Summer finds our flower
beds growing colorful, our crops reaching for the sky and
this year, our sunflowers towering taller than ever before.
Yes, we complain about the seven days of 90 plus degrees,
but that is just what we do. Just as we complain about the
few sub-zero days we might get. It is tradition to complain
about the weather. Fall, though, is my favorite time of year in
Paulding County. Words cannot describe the beauty of the
changing landscape and that certain crispness to the air.
Have you seen the stars on a clear night? The brightest
stars shine above Paulding County.
Quality of life is not always measured in economic param-
eters, but also in how we love and treat our neighbors. It is
measured in the quiet moments of a Sunday afternoon. It is
measured by faith in our God and counting our blessings. No
one will go hungry in Paulding County. No one will go un-
clothed. No child will go without a gift at Christmas.
There will always be someone to give a hug; always some-
one to dry a tear; and always someone to smile and listen.
We are Paulding County. We are small-town America.
Let us all reflect on the wonders and the blessings we
enjoy in our little corner of heaven in NW Ohio and try to be
the person that makes everyones quality of life just a bit bet-
ter.

A Penny For
Your Thoughts....
By: Nancy Whitaker
FILL IT UP TO THE TOP
Popcorn and movies go to-
gether, just like bread and
butter. One of the extra
bonuses of going to a movie
theater is the delicious
snacks. Even though they
dont show the Lets all go
to the lobby commercial,
everyone knows that the
lobby is where goodies are
sold.
Recently, Hubbie and I
went to see a movie called,
The Family. I knew it was
a dark crime comedy and I
am one who hates anything
scary. But, at least I could eat
good, hot, buttery popcorn
and just kick back and relax.
The night we went was a
week night. During the week
the theater offers different
specials and this particular
night was one of them. I was
delighted, because it was free
popcorn, all you could eat.
The only condition was
that you had to bring your
own container or bag. Of
course, the only bag I had
taken inside the theater was
my filled to the top purse.
Other customers had buck-
ets, tubs, bags and bowls, all
getting filled to the brim with
popcorn. Hmmmmm. If I
could find me a bag I could
get it filled up with popcorn,
instead of paying for it.
I asked the attendant,
Maam, do you have to have
your own bag, or could you
just fill up one of your regular
bags for us?
She replied, Nope, you
have to bring in your own bag
or container, otherwise, you
will have to pay.
I happened to spy these lit-
tle decorated buckets on the
counter and asked the lady,
Do you sell those contain-
ers?
She replied, Yes, they are
$7.
I thought to myself, I
could buy me two bags of
popcorn for that.
Meanwhile, Hubbie who
drives across town to save a
penny on a gallon of gas,
went and ordered a medium-
sized popcorn with extra but-
ter and paid over $3 for it.
I told him, Well, I am
going out to the car and see if
I can find me a sack. I am
sure I can find one and there
is no sense of paying for pop-
corn because its free.
He said, Its too late, I al-
ready paid for this. He then
proceeded to munch on the
corn and eating all the butter
from the top.
Out to the car I went. I used
my automatic car door opener
and unlocked the car. Aha! I
see I have a big plastic bag on
the back floor that had some-
thing in it. I took the item out
and ta da, I had me a bag.
I went back into the theater
and shook out my bag an-
nouncing, I found a bag, so
fill er up.
The popcorn guy filled that
bag to the brim and said,
Extra butter?
Oh yes sir, lots of butter,
I told him excitedly. I guess I
should not have been so
proud of myself for getting
free popcorn, but I was.
As we settled in our seats
to watch the movie, munch-
ing our popcorn, Hubbie said,
Are you going to eat all
that?
I said, Well, maybe I
wont eat it all, but it tastes so
much better since I got it free.
Want some?
The movie was good, but I
hid my eyes and just ate pop-
corn the last half hour. There
was quite a bit of shooting and
violence in the film, but in the
end, they all lived happy ever
after. That includes everyone in
the story and me and my bag of
popcorn.
Do you like popcorn and a
movie? Wouldnt you go out
and get your own sack for free
popcorn? Do you close your
eyes during scary movies? Let
me know and Ill give you a
Penny for Your Thoughts.

Birds of Paulding County

The following is research work done by
Homer Price. This is the final article on this
topic.
Birds of Paulding County
By Homer Price
July 14, 1970
Goldfinch - Probably just as common as
ever. The species nest late in the season from
about July 20 to Aug. 1. Osage orange hedges
and thorn apple trees are favorite nesting sites.
The nests are usually lined with thistle down.
Red-eyed towhee - Definitely on the de-
crease. This brightly colored bird nests on or
near the ground in low bushes. They would be
easy for foxes and other predators to locate.
They were rather common until foxes and rac-
coons became common.
Savannah sparrow - I first found the species
nesting here on July 28, 1937, when a nest
with four eggs was found in an Alsike clover
field. It has increased since nesting in grass
along roads and in clover fields. The notes are
see-zee-zee-up, quite different from the
other sparrows.
Grasshopper sparrow - Very common when
Alsike clover was grown in the 1920-1930s.
Have found many nests of them while mow-
ing clover and while moving bunches of dry
alsike to dry thoroughly. The beautiful eggs
rank among the handsomest of sparrows.
Hens-glow sparrow - Rare. A single set of
five eggs taken June 24, 1915 in Benton
Township. The species has a great variety of
notes here, but in Ashtabula County, Ohio, a
gasping, choking sound seemed to be the only
notes.
Vesper sparrow - Varying from uncommon
to common over the years. They liked to nest
beside stumps in cultivated fields at one time
and along the edges of the fields. Many of
their nests are destroyed in cultivation of corn
and beans. Some nest in oat fields or corn or
beans.
I do not know the status of the species at
present. They sing in the evening in summer,
hence the name vesper.
Chipping sparrow - once common, nesting
in apple trees in orchards, but now in ceme-
teries where they use evergreen. The also nest
in towns. The species probably will disappear
in time.
Field sparrow - Common to abundant in the
past, but obviously reduced in numbers today.
They are seldom found in fields, but nest in
the grass of open woods or in tiny bushes.
Some males have beautiful songs.
Son sparrow - Common. Many of the birds
nest on the ground along ditch banks or in
evergreen shrubbery near houses. They remain
all winter and sing beautifully in the spring.
Bald eagle - At least two pairs nested in tall
trees at the reservoir near Antwerp at the time
the locks and bulkhead were dynamited.
Howe in his historical collection gives the date
of the dynamiting as April 25, 1888. A farmer
told me that the eaglets continued to nest there
two years after the reservoir was drained, thus
they disappeared in 1890. I regret being un-
able to give the name of the farmer.
Species that probably nested here in the
past:
Rough-legged hawk - My father shot a pair
of the largest hawks he had ever seen about a
quarter of a mile from my present home south
of Payne, Ohio. One bird was shot as it sat on
its nest high up in a large tree and the mate
was also shot. Both birds were dark and feath-
ered to the toes. The year was about 1900.
American rough legs - (light and dark
phase) have sometimes been more common
here in winter than the red-tails. I would not
be surprised if either this species or the larger
ferruginous rough leg is found nesting in
northwest Ohio sometime in the future.
Little blue heron - Several were seen in the
late 1920s and early 1930s. No nests have
been found, although the white young have
been seen in the late summer.
Saw-whet owl - This very small owl has
been seen on several occasions, but no nests
have been found. Undoubtedly nests here,
however.
Cattle egrets - This species has not been rec-
ognized in the county, but nests probably will
be found eventually. They like to be around
cattle.
Brewers blackbird - This bird probably
nests here at the present, but I have never seen
one. They are a western species. The male is
glossy black in color and said to be one of the
handsomest blackbirds. They should nest in
the fields with the red-wings or in trees.
Colonies are known in northern Indiana and
in Michigan.
This concludes this article that Homer Price
wrote. I hope that you, the reader, found this
to be of value and educational. I really enjoyed
doing this article. A lot of time and research
on Homers part is just fascinating. What a
wonderful man.

QUESTION: Ive never got-
ten along with my in-laws.
Three years ago, there was a
huge argument and we
havent spoken since. At that
time, they told my wife
theyd pay for a divorce if she
would end the marriage.
Now my son is graduating
and he wants my in-laws to
be there. I want to forgive
and get along for the sake of
my son, but Im just so
angry. What should I do?
JIM: Situations like this one
are extremely common. In
home after home, family gath-
erings that are supposed to be
filled with love and warmth
end up turning into tense, un-
comfortable confrontations.
But extremely common isnt
the same thing as unavoid-
able. Youre an intelligent and
morally responsible human
being, and you can make
choices that will lead to posi-
tive change.
One option is to be honest.
Let your son know that it
would simply be too awkward
and uncomfortable to invite the
in-laws, and that for his sake,
you dont want the graduation
to turn into a family debacle.
Naturally, you and your son
(not to mention your wife) will
have to be in agreement on this.
A second choice would be to
invite them, but ensure that all
graduation-related activities
take place at a neutral location,
such as a restaurant or commu-
nity center. If the party disinte-
grates into a shouting match,
politely excuse yourselves and
take refuge in the tranquility of
your home.
There is a third option. You
could approach the graduation
with an entirely different atti-
tude. Try to see it as a time for
reaching out in kindness and
grace. Look for opportunities
to demonstrate love to some
unlovely people. Take the ini-
tiative to extend an olive
branch. You might be surprised
at how well your peacemaking
gesture is received!
QUESTION: My wife
doesnt communicate well
with me. I work long hours
and when I get home I want
her to fill me in on what is
going on in the family. I try to
make time so we can talk
about any issues, but she al-
ways just tells me everything
is fine and then later I find
out things that I never knew
about. How can I improve
our communication with
each other?
DR. GREG SMALLEY,
Vice President, Family Min-
istries: In many cases its the
other way around the wife
wants a deeper connection,
while the husband is uncom-
municative. But in either case,
the frustrations are very real.
To encourage more mean-
ingful communication, ask
your wife if shed be willing to
try the Ten-Minute Plan.
Three times a week, youll
spend four minutes reading a
recommended marriage book
together. After that, take four
additional minutes to have a
positive discussion about what
youve read (no criticism al-
lowed). Then, finish with a
By Jim Daly
two-minute prayer.
In addition to trying the
Ten-Minute Plan, keep the
following in mind:
Communicate your need
for conversation in a clear, re-
spectful and honest way. Dont
assume your wife knows what
youre thinking.
Be sure to take notice when
your wife does make an effort
to talk with you. Reinforce this
behavior by expressing your
appreciation with sincerity and
kindness.
Look for opportunities to
turn routine activities shop-
ping, cooking or yard work, for
example into times of mean-
ingful conversation.
Maintain a sense of humor
about the unexpected chal-
lenges that may arise during
the course of your conversa-
tions. Be patient and persistent.
By employing these ideas,
youll create an environment
where it becomes comfortable
to talk. This, in turn, can easily
lead to a desire for more inter-
action and even more minutes
together.

Winning the Battle for a Generation

By Rick Jones
exec. director, Defiance
Area Youth for Christ
Have you felt the fear of failure? I remem-
ber as a student in school, whether in elemen-
tary, junior high, high school or even in the
university, I always was afraid of failing.
My fear wasnt just in the academic arena,
but I was fearful of failing those who loved
me, who believed in me. I just didnt want to
disappoint family and friends who placed their
trust and hope in me.
Truthfully, the subject of failure is some-
thing that is always on the mind of those push-
ing to succeed, to get better. Have you felt the
fear of failure? A recent issue of the Friday
Evenings newsletter notes someone once said,
Falling down doesnt make you a failure, but
failing to get up does.
Thomas Edison was a man who saw many
of his experiments fail, but he continued doing
them anyway. He knew that it was better to get
up than to give up. He was committed to ex-
cellence. In his search for a filament for incan-
descent light bulbs, he experimented with
hundreds of fibers and metals.
In 1879, he discovered a method for making
an inexpensive filament that would handle the
stress of electric current. Today we call his dis-
covery carbonized cotton fiber thread. How-
ever, the filament was so fragile that it easily
broke in an open-air environment.
Almost by accident, he tried inserting the
filament within an oxygen-free tube. To his
surprise, the filament glowed. It didnt burn
long, but it burned. Eventually he and his
helpers discovered the secret was in creating
a vacuum within the glass bulb and, using a
tungsten filament.
In the life of the believer, we face many
trips, tumbles, errors and failures. The voice
that visits us in those moments is not the voice
of the Father, but of the adversary. He doesnt
say, Nice try. He shouts, Failure! He as-
serts, You cant live this Christian life, or
Stay down. You wont be missed or You
deserve better than this.
Its the Other Voice you want to hear.
That voice in scripture that says, My strength
is sufficient for you. I never will leave you or
forsake you. I love you.
If youve failed at something or failed in
disappointing someone, remember that God
promises to be with us, to forgive us if we con-
fess our failure, our sin and to love us no mat-
ter what we go throughRomans 8:37-39
(NKJV) (37) Yet in all these things we are
more than conquerors through Him who loved
us. (38) For I am persuaded that neither death
nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor pow-
ers, nor things present nor things to come, (39)
nor height nor depth, nor any other created
thing, shall be able to separate us from the
love of God which is in Christ Jesus our
Lord.

Construction of the new Dollar General Store in Antwerp continues on schedule. Village Administrator Sara Keeran said, With
the perfect weather the crew has not missed a day working and everything is moving right a long. Opening of the new store is
projected for the end of October.

Cooper Farms builds biosecurity buildings east of Oakwood
OAKWOOD Cooper
Farms has recently been stir-
ring up dirt and making room
for a new step in their biosecu-
rity on Ohio 613 just east of
Oakwood. A new drying shed
has recently completed as the
first phase of their biosecurity
building project.
This biosecurity building is
just one more step in our en-
deavor to provide the best ani-
mal care and health, said Bud
Koenig, Cooper Farms facility
maintenance manager. The
drying shed that has been com-
pleted allows us to bake the
semi and trailers that haul our
animals from the breeder farms
to growout farm, which kills
any pathogens or bacteria that
could have attached itself dur-
ing the trip.
The drying shed is a simple
looking building but it contains
a lot of technology and adds
great depth to the companys
disease control measures.
To complete a drying cycle,
the building is heated to 160
degrees (F) and stays there for
five minutes, said Koenig.
After heating for that length of
time, all bacteria are killed, so
the building then goes through
a ventilation and cool down pe-
riod. The entire process takes
about an hour.
The final phase of the project
will add an automatic and a
manual truck wash as well as
team member showers and
laundry facilities.
Feed trucks and managers
traveling between farms will be
able to go through the auto-
matic truck wash, which will
finish the wash with a disinfec-
tant. While vehicles used for
hauling animals or moving lit-
ter will be washed by hand in
the manual wash and then
move on to the drying shed.
Anyone who will be enter-
ing the clean side of the
building will be required to
shower in the new building and
wear company provided cloth-
ing on the other side of the
shower. All the clothing will be
washed and dried on site. Just
one more step to keep things
extra clean, according to
Koenig.
We require our farm team
members to do this same thing
when entering or exiting our
farms, so it only makes sense
to have the showering portion
at our biosecurity building as
well, said Koenig.
Biosecurity is the process of
taking preventive measures
that reduce the possibility of
disease introduction to Cooper
Farms animals. The Hatchery
Division is primarily responsi-
ble for all of the laying turkey
hens and their eggs, and sows
who birth the piglets. Once the
poults hatch and the piglets are
weaned, they are then moved
to one of the 300 family farms
that help to care for the ani-
mals. Because such young an-
imals and their mothers are
being cared for and moved in
this division, it is of utmost im-
portance that nothing is intro-
duced that could make them
sick.
Biosecurity is always our
top priority at Cooper Farms,
because we want to have
healthy and thriving animals,
said Cassie Jo Arend, commu-
nications coordinator. With
young animals we have to be
especially careful, because a
trailer or a human could carry
something simple that
wouldnt bother us or a full-
grown animal, but could poten-
tially get a young piglet or
poult (baby turkey) sick.
The mood across Cooper
Farms is very straightforward
and reminiscent of their
founder, who started raising
turkeys for fun 75 years ago.
They do what is best for the an-
imals and try to be a good ex-
ample in the community and
their industry.
We always strive to go at
least one step further when it
comes to things like this, said
Arend. We want to make sure
that we are always doing things
in the best possible way, and this
project is an example of that.
This project is also something
that the town of Oakwood has
been happy to have. Cooper
Farms will be using the vil-
lages water and natural gas,
which will make Cooper
Farms a great customer for
Oakwood.
Thats something the
Cooper family always likes to
do, said Bud Koenig. Its
always great when we can
give back to Oakwood or the
local communities.
Bill Sherry/Paulding County Progress
To a passerby, the newly constructed Cooper Farms drying shed located east of Oakwood on Ohio
613 looks like some type of storage building down a long lane, but it is the start of something big.
Bill Sherry/Paulding County Progress
Inside the drying shed at the Cooper Oakwood truck wash, a visitor cannot help but feel
really small while standing in an autoclave that is big enough to sanitize a semi-tractor/trailer rig
by bringing the temperature to 160 degrees.
Commissioners approve appropriations
Digital mammography coming to CMH
HICKSVILLE Community Memorial
Hospital (CMH) is proud to announce that
digital mammography will soon be added to
the hospitals scope of services for women.
This new equipment incorporates advanced
imaging technology that provides incredibly
sharp images.
Digital mammography allows an image to
be taken electronically and immediately stored
on a computer. The images are sharper and
more detailed than film images. This technol-
ogy allows radiologists to zoom in on specific
areas of concern and examine them for signs
of early cancer.
Digital mammography provides us with a
new level of image clarity, said radiology
manager Sue Fowler. It allows us to detect
small abnormalities, especially in women with
dense breast tissue.
During this upgrade period, Community
Memorial Hospital will not offer mammogra-
phy services. The upgrade should be com-
pleted in October. When completed, CMH
will offer the annual self-pay special that is
typically available during the month of Octo-
ber.

means that Halloween is fast
approaching. The Antwerp
Chamber of Commerce and
Antwerp Village Council are
making plans for their annual
events.
The council has scheduled
Trick-or-Treating for Satur-
day, Oct. 26 from 5-6:30 p.m.
The chamber has scheduled a
parade for 2:45 in the after-
noon, prior to Trick-or-Treat-

chamber is making a special
effort to expand the parade
and are inviting the entire
community to participate.
Everyone is encouraged to
decorate something a car,
truck, lawn mower, bicycle,
tractor or whatever can be
thought of for the parade.
These entries will not be
judged, but will add a lot of
interest and fun to the event.
The costumed characters will
be judged.
Line-up for the parade and
location for the judging will
be announced at a later date
as these details have not yet
been confirmed. Watch the

Successful
aging tips
What is the key to aging
successfully? What are
the traits that help us to
age gracefully? Here are
some of tips that seniors
well into their 90s shared
as essential to their well-
being.
1. Flexibility (being
willing to adapt to new
situations) Dont get
stuck in a rut.
2. Having a sense of
humor. Laugh a lot.
3. Living simply.
4. Taking one day at a
time. This one is my
favorite.
5. Never turning down
an invitation. Get out and
go.
6. Doing things in mod-
eration (particularly in
regard to food)
7. Getting regular exer-
cise.
8. Having an optimistic
attitude.
9. Keeping mentally
stimulated.
10. Being open to
meeting new people.
11. Relating to
younger people.
12. Being connected
to friends and family.
13. Involvement in
enjoyable activities.
14. Loving to read.
15. Having a noth-
ing can stop me outlook.
16. Sharing and car-
ing.
17. Not thinking
about age. It is just a num-
ber.
18. Being interested
in whats going on around
you
19. Never stop learn-
ing.
20. Being just plain
lucky (blessed with good
genes, good health, and
meaningful relationships)
Most of the time,
according to research,
these traits are not newly
gained in later years, but
rather are ones that indi-
viduals have demonstrat-
ed their entire lives.

Lets drink to apples!
My husband and I have
taken many, many evening
walks down our road over the
years. As far as country roads
go in these parts, this one pro-
vides some interesting
scenery. There are the neigh-
bors that have an assortment
of animals, a cemetery that
has many familiar names, and
we cross two creeks lined
with wildflowers.
Many years ago, we also
noticed a mature apple tree
growing in the deeper ditch
on the west side of the road
about three-quarters of a mile
south of our house. Ive al-
ways been curious as to how
it got there, knowing that
there are random apple trees
planted by Johnny Appleseed
in our general area.
Logic tells me that while
its fun to fantasize, that tree
more than likely grew from
an apple that got tossed out
the car window after some-
one long ago enjoyed it as a
snack. And if that was the
case, then its highly unlikely
that Johnny Appleseed had
anything to do with planting
it.
You see, John Chapman
planted several apple or-
chards as he traveled these
parts, but the trees he planted
didnt produce eating apples.
Apples eaten for their fruit
didnt become popular until
the last century. Until that
time, apples were almost ex-
clusively used for cider.
This is because apples
dont come true to seed and
though they grow readily this
way, the resulting fruit is al-
most always very, very sour.
Henry David Thoreau de-
scribed the taste of apple fruit
as sour enough to set a squir-
rels teeth on edge and make
a jay scream.
So how do we get those de-
liciously sweet varieties such
as Honeycrisp, Gala and
Jazz? Just like other new
cultivars are created by cross-
ing two varieties with the de-
sired traits, so it is with
apples, but because of their
extreme variability, once a fa-
vorable result has been found,
propagation is done by bud-
ding or grafting.
mercial use have basically
created a relative monocul-
ture, but apple enthusiasts are
growing some of the older
heirlooms in greater numbers.
The U.S. is number two in
the worlds apple production
(China is number one), but
apples arent native to our
country. They originated in
what is now Kazakhstan and
were brought to the U.S. by
the Puritans. Red Delicious
currently leads all varieties in
production.
Ive not tasted the apples
growing on the tree in that
nearby ditch, mainly because
theres a huge swath of poi-
son ivy in the way of being
able to reach the tree. But my
curiosity may get the better of
me and I might just have to
figure out a way to pick that
apple. I feel sort of like Eve...

I personally learned about
apple genetics by reading
The Botany of Desire by
Michael Pollan as well as
watching the PBS series by
the same name. It never oc-
curred to me that the apple
wasnt commonly eaten until
our not-so-distant past.
Just like so many heir-
looms, the apple varieties
have dwindled to just a frac-
tion of what used to be grown
years ago. Back when they
were open-pollinated, there
were no less than 7,500 dif-
ferent varieties of apples.

Vicky Hull, library assistant director, looks over some bargains at the Buy the Book book store.
The grand fall opening will be every Saturday in October from 9 a.m.-noon.
Library opening used book store
PAULDING The Paulding County
Carnegie Library Friends of the Library is
pleased to announce the grand fall opening of
the new Buy the Book used bookstore, lo-
cated in the rear of the annex next door to the
historic Carnegie library in Paulding.
The days of books piled on tables and on
boxes are gone! said Sam Clippinger, treas-
urer of the Friends. We are using shelving
from an old bookstore in Toledo and our vol-
unteers have constructed beautiful wooden
shelves that stand along the walls. Now the
Friends book sale really looks like a book
store.
The Friends of the Library offer a variety of
used books for sale, including fiction, non-fic-
tion, biographies, large print, childrens titles,
reference and much more.
Although many of the titles are withdrawals
from the library collection, many are donated.
All books are sold for donation only.
There is something for everyone, said
Clippinger. She continued, We take all dona-
tions and there have been some treasures.
Every visit to the book store will reveal some-
thing new. And, during the month of October,
you will be sure to scare up a bargain at Buy
the Book.
The grand fall opening of Buy the Book will
be held each Saturday in October from 9 a.m.-
noon.
The Friends of the Paulding County
Carnegie Library was founded over 20 years
ago as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. The
Friends exist to provide monetary and volun-
teer support for library programs, projects and
special events. The Friends are also a key
component in communicating with govern-
ment entities and legislative bodies on the im-
portance of public libraries. They meet every
second Tuesday of the month at 6 p.m. at the
historic Carnegie Library in Paulding.

Tony had ever taken. Fred took his second elk with the bow. They took the elk on the same day, Friday
the 13th of September. A lucky day for the hunters and unlucky for the elk.

Panthers celebrate homecoming win, 44-7
By JIM LANGHAM
Sportswriter
PAULDING Paulding
won its second game of the
season with an overpowering
44-7 win over Western Re-
serve at the local football
field on Saturday afternoon.
Quarterback Julian Salinas
said following the game that
having a big homecoming
win was especially meaning-
ful in his senior year.
It always feels good to
win a homecoming game,
said Salinas. Since this is my
senior year, it feels even bet-
ter. This is what weve been
looking for. The guys all
worked hard for this.
I cant credit our offensive
line enough for the way it
opened up holes for our of-
fense, continued Salinas.
Credit the line for preparing
the way for todays win.
Salinas scored three rush-
ing touchdowns. In addition,
the sure-footed senior led all
runners for the game, rushing
for 162 yards in 14 carries.
Fans were still arriving
when the Panthers showed
that they were there to win.
With the game only 1:48 old,
Preston Ingol, a freshman,
took a Western Reserve kick-
off and ran the ball 79 yards
to cross the goal line and give
the Panthers an early lead.
Later in the period, Salinas
scored his first touchdown on
a 60-yard run. For the second
time in the stanza, the Pan-
thers grabbed a two-point
after opportunity to jump into
a 16-0 lead at the end of the
first quarter.
Salinas scored again in the
second quarter to give local
squad a 23-0 lead that West-
ern Reserve wouldnt be able
to overcome.
I like winning; the guys
have worked hard for this,
said Paulding head coach
Kyle Coleman following the
game. Both of our lines kept
the pressure on all day. We
felt that if we could keep
pressuring them, we could
make some things happen.
This is a real morale
booster for us, commented
Coleman. I know that it gave
the guys a lift. It was what we
needed at this point in the
season.
Coleman said that he liked
the fact that his Panthers were
finally able to jump off to an
advantage. The squad had
been having some trouble
with its starts.
The mentor credited the
hard work in practice to much
of the teams stamina and
fast-paced aggressiveness in
Saturdays encounter.
This was a team win all the
way; all of the guys got in there
and worked hard, commented
Coleman. I like the improved
play we say in many areas.
Hopefully this will give us a
good boost going into the rest
of the season.
For the contest, Paulding
grabbed 314 yards rushing
while hold Western Reserve
to just 121 yards. Also, the
Panthers completed 88 yards
through the air for a total of
402 yards for the game.
In addition, the Paulding
defense caused WR to cough
up the ball for four fumbles,
all which they lost.
This week, the Panthers
travel to Ada (4-1 overall, 3-
0 NWC) for a conference
matchup.

McClure, Gerber take honors
on record-breaking night
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
HAVILAND Madison
McClure and Jake Gerber
were honored as Homecom-
ing Queen and King at Raider
Field Friday night and the
Wayne Trace football team
followed with a record break-
ing effort in routing visiting
Holgate, 80-0.
The 80 points sets a new
school record for points in a
game, breaking the old mark
of 75 set against Antwerp in
1994.
It was a total team effort for
the Raiders, who dominated
on both sides of the ball.
Wayne Traces defense
limited Holgate to 71 yards of
total offense on the night, in-
cluding 25 rushing yards on
15 carries. The Tigers also
finished the evening 3 of 30
through the air for 46 yards
with five interceptions.
The Raiders scored 35 first
quarter points, including 22
in the opening three minutes,
as the red, white and blue
never was threatened in mov-
ing to 5-0 overall and 2-0 in
the Green Meadows Confer-
ence.
Wayne Trace quarterback
Colby Speice tossed touch-
down passes to Korbin
Showalter (69 yards), Jake
Arend (32 yards), Tyler
Showalter (55 yards) and T.J.
Blackmore (22 yards) in the
opening quarter.
Speice also broke the
Raider career passing yards
record by throwing for 399
yards on the evening, all in
the first half, completing 15
of 22 passes.
The Raiders also got a one-
yard touchdown run from
Jared Sherry in the first quar-
ter, to grab the 35-0 advan-
tage.
Wayne Trace then added
five more scores in the sec-
ond stanza.
Speice tossed a 43-yard
scoring strike to Korbin
Showalter before connecting
with Gerber on a 13-yard
touchdown toss.
The red, white and blue
also got a Speice one-yard
plunge for a score and a 53-
yard touchdown pass from
Speice to Arend.
Wayne Trace concluded the
first half scoring on a 12-yard
Sherry run for a score.
We were able to get a lot
of kids a lot of playing time,
noted Raider head coach Bill
Speller. Its always good to
be able to get them some ex-
perience at the varsity level
and we were fortunate
enough to be able to do that
tonight.
The Raiders picked up a
67-yard scoring strike from
Gabe Wobler to David Sinn
in the third quarter.
Wayne Traces final touch-
down came on a Wobler 12-
yard run in the fourth quarter.
The two teams agreed to play
only eight minute quarters in
the second half.
Sherry finished the night
with 88 yards on nine carries
to lead the Raider rushing at-
tack, which totaled 149 yards
on the ground.
Wayne Trace accumulated
610 yards of total offense on
the evening, including 149
rushing and 461 passing
yards.
The Raiders, who move to
5-0 overall and 2-0 in the
Green Meadows Conference,
return to action on the road
Friday as Wayne Trace makes
the long trip to Edgerton.
The Bulldogs are coming
off of their first win of the
season, a 53-12 victory at
Antwerp on Friday. Edgerton
has dropped games to Fort
Recovery (24-21), Edon (35-
6), Mendon (Mich.) (34-6)
and Tinora (48-7).
Gabe Wobler #3, Tyler Showalter #20, and Emil Stoller #74 gang tackle Holgates runner last
Friday night in an easy GMC win for the Raiders.
Wayne Traces Jared Sherry #7 stutter steps on his way to a first half score against an over-
whelmed Holgate defense.
Korbin Showalter #21 breaks through a potential tackle against Holgate last Friday enrooute
to a big first quarter gain.
The Panthers Quentin Vance #3 breaks free from a Western Reserve defender for a big second
quarter gain last Saturday.

Bulldogs take bite
out of Archers, 53-12
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
ANTWERP Hungry for a
win, the Edgerton Bulldogs
came to Antwerp last Friday
night and devoured the Archers
in easy fashion, 53-12.
Coming into the contest, the
Bulldogs were 0-4 while
Antwerp was sitting at 1-3.
Edgerton junior quarterback
Duane Miller was the full deal
with three rushing touchdowns
along with three scores through
the air in leading his squad to
the lopsided win.
Edgerton scored on each of
their first seven possessions.
With the Bulldogs using substi-
tutes on its eighth and final
drive, Antwerp managed to
stop the Bulldogs. Junior run-
ning back Logan Daniels to-
taled 126 yards on 11 carries to
lead Edgerton on the ground.
Quarterback Miller managed
72 yards rushing on 12 carries
while hitting five of seven
tosses for 72 yards.
The only Edgerton score not
involving Miller was senior
Rocco Cercones return of an
Antwerp punt 85 yards mid-
way through the second quar-
ter.
For Antwerp it was the same
story as in recent weeks.
Turnovers and missed tackles
put the Archers in a deep hole
in the early going and they
never recovered. The Archers
received the opening kick off
and on their third play from
scrimmage coughed it up to the
Bulldogs. Edgerton needed but
seven plays to cover 50 yards
for their first score.
On their next possession,
Antwerp again managed just
three plays before tossing an
interception and giving the ball
back over to the Bulldogs.
Needing just two plays, the
Bulldogs were on the score-
board with a 12-0 lead with just
under five minutes remaining
in the opening period.
Gaining just two yards on its
next possession, the Archers
punted the ball back to Edger-
ton at midfield. A nine-play
drive capped off with an eight-
yard TD pass to Alex Michael
pushed the Bulldog lead to 20-
0.
We dug ourselves a hole
with all the turnovers. Its hard
to find the confidence to get
back into the games, Coach
Drew Altimus said.
Antwerps next drive
showed some promise with
quarterback Derek Smalley
connecting with Colton Stout
on a nine-yard pick-up. Prior to
the pass, Edgerton was penal-
ized 15 yards on a helmet to
helmet hit near the Antwerp
sidelines.
Bevin (Hall) got his bell
rung pretty good and had to
stay out the rest of the game.
You always worry about a con-
cussion with that kind of hit.
Im not sure he will be able to
play this Friday, said Altimus.
Facing a second and one at
the 27-yard line, a bad snap
cost the Archers 16 yards.
Forced into a passing situation,
the Archers were incomplete,
forcing another Archer punt.
Cercone received the punt and
danced his way through the
Antwerp defense some 85
yards to paydirt. A successful
extra point gave the visitors a
27-0 lead.
Missed tackles on that play.
You got to want to tackle and
we just cant seem to figure
that out, said Altimus.
Edgerton continued to shut
out the Archers with another
score with 1:01 remaining in
the first half. Miller completed
a seven play drive with a 20-
yard pass to Alex Michael, his
second of the contest. A suc-
cessful extra point had the
Bulldogs in control, 34-0.
With less than a minute,
Smalley marched the Archers
down field, gaining 16 yards
on a carry and 25 yards on a
pass to Trenton Copsey. The
Archer possession ended with
10 seconds remaining on a
Smalley to Copsey 15-yard
strike across the middle for a
score and avoiding the shutout.
The start of the second half
quickly turned disastrous for
the Archers on both sides of the
ball.
For Edgerton, it was three
touchdowns on three posses-
sions and sandwiched in the
middle were two Antwerp
fumbles to propel the Bulldogs
in front, 53-6, with just under
three minutes remaining in the
third quarter.
Like the first half, Antwerp
recorded another touchdown,
but not until the final seconds
of the contest.
With Nick Barnhouse in the
backfield, the junior tallied 36
yards rushing on the 70-yard
drive. Smalley spotted Justice
Clark on a three-yard TD pass
as time expired.
In the passing department, the
Archers (1-4 overall, 0-2 GMC)
were 8 for 18 for 127 yards and
on the ground the blue and
white managed just 65 yards.
They (Edgerton) were more
aggressive than we were and
they won it in the trenches. We
had too many turnovers and we
need to learn to want to tackle,
said Coach Altimus.
Next, the Archers will take a
short drive north on Ohio 49 to
visit the Hicksville Aces (2-3
overall, 1-1 GMC) for their
homecoming game.
Antwerps Justice Clark #3 looks for room to run on a second
half return against Edgerton.

Dear Friends of the Paulding Exempted Village
Schools,
Did you know that residents of our school
district who are at least 65 years old are
eligible for a free all-sports pass? This is one
of the many ways we thank our senior resi-
dents for their support of our school system.
If you have not received a pass yet, stop in at
the Administration Building on Water Street
and pick yours up today. Office hours are
Monday Friday from 7:30 a.m. 4:00
p.m. The pass is good for admission to all
home junior high and high school athletic
events.
The PEVS website has a wealth of infor-
mation to keep the community updated on
district activities. The Honeywell Instant
Alert System is a great method of communi-
cation for school activities and weather de-
lays. You can make changes to your account
through the Honeywell website at https://
instantalert.honeywell.com or click on the
Instant Alert Login link under the Parent
Links tab. Users may add or delete phone
numbers, email addresses, or text message
numbers. You may also choose the type of
alerts to receive by checking the appropriate
boxes. Instructions for account setup are on
our website.
Bullying is an issue the school district takes
very seriously, so we have added a form on
the webpage to report bullying incidents
anonymously. You will find the form under
the Parent Links tab. You may choose to
include contact information, but it is not re-
quired to file a report.
You will also notice a change on our menu
starting this month. To better serve our stu-
dents with diabetes, the school menus will
now have the grams of carbohydrates per
serving listed on the menu to the right of the
listed food item. If you have any questions
regarding this please contact Beth Stoller
our school nurse. Our district employees
have been working very hard on new initia-
tives through our Race to the Top grant and
ODE mandates that continue to make us re-
flect on how we are doing educational things
in the district. Check out our website for up-
dates on our progress.
Our District is very fortunate to have dona-
tions of supplies for our students, I want to
thank all of the donors for the support of our
kids.

tober 15

Paulding Elementary-Stephanie Tear
The link between successful partnership and
student achievement is supported by re-
search. One way for you to support your
childs education is by attending Parent-
Teacher conferences. The insights you share
with your childs teacher is valuable infor-
mation. The support you provide at home is
another important piece to successful student
achievement. We hope to see you here at
Paulding Elementary for conferences Octo-
ber 24
th
and October 29
th
.
The importance of student recognition is val-
ued here at Paulding Elementary. There is a
connection between positive student behav-
ior and positive student achievement. We
are proud to recognize our children for their
positive choices. Each month we choose a
Student of the Month from each homeroom
class. There is a bulletin board with the
childs picture and a brief summary of their
positive characteristics. We host a luncheon
for them to enjoy with an invited guest of
their choice. The room is decorated with
fancy tablecloths, placemats and centerpiec-
es. The student is honored at this luncheon
with a certificate and prizes. Everyone
leaves smiling with more motivation to con-
tinuing being that positive role model within
our school community.
Student Achievement is also recognized.
Students who have perfect attendance,
achieve Honor Roll, and those who improve
their averages, are recognized. We want
them to take pride in their accomplishments.
We have a school-wide assembly with a spe-
cial acknowledgement to each students
achievement.
John Gardner said, Excellence is doing ordi-
nary things extraordinarily well. Excellent
things are happening at Paulding Elementary
and I am proud to be a small part of the pro-
cess.
Oakwood Elementary-Jennifer Manz
Hello from Oakwood Elementary on picture
perfect autumn day!! I am just sitting down
to write this article after allowing myself
some time to do the very favorite part of my
job visit the classrooms. I can say with
certainty that Oakwood Elementary students
know what is expected of them at their new
grade levels and are working hard to meet
those expectations. It is exciting to walk
down the hallways, to stop into classrooms,
and to see students actively engaged in learn-
ing new concepts or eagerly sharing what
they already know about a topic being dis-
cussed. Cricket habitats are being created;
science experiments are being planned and
conducted; computer skills are being en-
hanced; and the list goes on. We are off to a
positive start here at Oakwood Elementary!
One of the routines teachers have been estab-
lishing is what is expected of students in re-
gards to homework. Students at all grade
levels have some form of homework
throughout the week. Homework is general-
ly designed to practice skills being intro-
duced in the classroom. It is not meant to be
a frustration to students or parents; and if
your child continually has difficulty complet-
ing assigned tasks, please contact the class-
room teacher to share what you are observing
at home. Together, you can clarify expecta-
tions and brainstorm ways to make things go
more smoothly.
I want to say a special thank you to those
who attended our parent/community training
with the Paulding County Sherriffs Depart-
ment for A.L.I.C.E. on Monday, September
23
rd
. We work very hard to have viable safe-
ty plans in place. We have spent quite a bit
of time reviewing our current plans; and we
have begun to take steps to increase our se-
curity. (Thanks for your understanding and
cooperation with buzzing into our locked
facility.) With the help of local law enforce-
ment, we will also be adding A.L.I.C.E. com-
ponents to our current safety training.
Our 3
rd
graders will be taking the Fall Ohio
Reading Achievement Assessment on Tues-
day, October 8
th
. They are the only students
and reading is the only subject the State of
Ohio requires us to test in the fall. We en-
courage our 3
rd
graders to do their very best
on the Reading OAA. We know each one
can succeed at his/her own level when effort
is applied and encouragement is given!!
I invite you to visit the Oakwood Elementary
website on a regular basis to keep up-to-date
on the wonderful things happening here. As
always, we need and appreciate the support
of our whole community to make Oakwood
Elementary a great place to learn and grow
thank you for being there for us!
**NOTE: The Paulding County Health De-
partment will be at Oakwood Elementary on
Tuesday, October 8, to give flu shots. They
will set up in our art room and will be giving
shots from 9:00 to 11:00. This is open to the
community. If you have any questions re-
garding the shot, please contact PCHD and
speak to the nurses there.
Middle School-David Stallkamp
Hello From Paulding Middle School. This
school year has gotten off to a very good
start. I wish to THANK everyone for all of
their efforts in getting us off on the right
foot. I hope the entire year goes as smoothly
as the first few weeks. If that happens, we
will be in for a fantastic year.
You should have received your students first
nine weeks mid-term report. They were sent
home with your student on September
24
th
. PLEASE look these over very careful-
ly. This is a prime time to examine these
reports to determine just how your child has
started the year academically. If all is going
great - fantastic. If you notice that the grades
are not where they should be at this time,
please contact your child's teacher to discuss
how to improve their performance. Here are
just a couple of quick, helpful hints to look
for if they are having a difficult time: Are all
of their assignments being written down in
their agenda? Is the work they are turning in
acceptable, grade level work? Is their work
getting returned to the teacher finished and
on time? Are they taking the time to proper-
ly study for tests and exams? Are they tak-
ing their responsibility of school seriously?
All of these hints are important steps for your
child to be successful in school.
Our annual fund raiser has ended and I do
not yet know the final profit total. I will put
that out in a future newsletter once I find
out. THANK YOU to all that purchased
items and helped support Paulding Middle
School. Your generosity is greatly appreciat-
ed. The items will arrive for delivery on
October 10
th
. If you have a large order,
please make arrangements to be at school to
pick them up around 2:30 in the middle
school gym that day.
The week of September 16-20 was Safe
Schools Week. We practiced the following
safety drills so we will be fully prepared for
emergencies should they occur, (hopefully
that day never comes): Fire Drill, Tornado
Drill, Protective Environment Drill, Evacua-
tion Drill, Lock Down Drill and a Stay Put
Drill. The staff and students did a fantastic
job of taking these drills very seriously. I
was proud of them.
Paulding Middle School PICTURE DAY
was September 10
th
and pictures should be
here soon if they are not already.
The First Nine Weeks Grading Period ends
on October 18th. Grade cards will be mailed
home on October 23

.
Congratulations go out to the following stu-
dents that have been elected to represent their
peers on this year's edition of the Paulding

ney Kohart and Montserrat Martinez. 7

Please continue supporting our Middle
School athletes, students, and cheerlead-
ers. They are working extremely hard repre-
senting our school in various activi-
ties: Football, Volleyball, Cross Country,
Cheerleading, Band, Choir, Science Olympi-
ad and Science Fair to just name a few. Stop
by and watch our kids perform. Schedules
are available on line at
www.pauldingschools.org
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE stay on your
kids to turn in their work and stay on top of
what is assigned to them. The biggest reason
for poor grades is that they get behind and
can never catch up. Keep on top of the work
daily so that this does not happen.
On Wednesday, October 9
th
, our middle and
high school students will be treated to two
assemblies. One is called, Dare, Dream,
Do!! This deals with the possibilities every
child has to make the most out of what they
do here. The second assembly has former
Paulding student, Shane Jeffreys, who was a
victim of a vicious bullying attack here many
years ago, speaking about his experiences
and discussing his new book entitled, Hates
Not Cool. Bullying is a serious issue and
we need to get it out of our lives.
Thank you for your continued, fantastic sup-
port of Paulding Middle School.

Antwerp High School cheerleaders not only made Spirit Week a fun event for students in anticipation of Homecoming; they also used it as an opportunity to
raise money for a good cause. The cheerleaders decided to raise money for St. Judes Childrens Hospital, setting their goal for the entire district at $500. By
Wednesday, the elementary alone had reached the cheerleaders goal! By weeks end they doubled that amount. The total for the district was $1,273, well over
double the original goal. Pictured here are the Antwerp High School cheerleaders with Mrs. Geyers fourth grade class, which collected the most money during
