PAYNE The inspiration
of Payne resident Ron Etzler
grew into a communitywide
outpouring leading up to the
70th year celebration of the
Japanese Instrument of Surrender on Sept. 2, 1945.
On Aug. 28, the occupation
of Japan by the Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers
began. The surrender ceremony was held on Sept. 2, 1945
aboard the United States Navy
battleship USS Missouri, at
which time officials from the
Japanese government signed
the Japanese Instrument of Surrender, ending the hostilities.
Celebration of V-J Day broke
out on a worldwide basis.
It was earlier this spring
when Etzler was inspired with
the idea of loaning his collection of print items commemorating World War II to the
Payne Library. At the time,
Etzler spread the word of what
he was doing and invited other
Payne community residents to
do likewise.
Its always been hard for
me to understand how anyone
could go to war, said Etzler. I World War II Navy veteran Major Klinker shares information with Wayne Trace student Joe

Etzler. I felt we needed to do

something to recognize the
ones who are still with us. One
veteran told me that 200 World
War II veterans a day are passing away. I felt we should do
something in the Payne area to
honor these. I talked to Friends
of the Payne Library and they
agreed.
Since then, other Payne residents caught on to the idea and
starting loaning World War II
print items to the library.
People started visiting the
exhibit; soon, grandpas and
grandmas were bringing their
grandchildren to the library to
see and listen to stories about
World War II. The exhibit expanded into a display much
larger than anyone would have
dreamed of, said Etzler.
Once Etzler and those who
spearheaded the display saw its
success, they started planning
a special program honoring
World War II veterans to be
held on Saturday afternoon,
Aug. 29 in the Payne Town
Hall. World War II veterans
were invited to answer questions. Soon, veterans from
Payne from all wars began to

Latty church to celebrate 120 years
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
LATTY Members of the
Latty Friends United Methodist Church will be experiencing another milestone in their
long church history on Sunday, Sept. 13 with the gathering to celebrate their churchs
120th anniversary.
Services will begin at 9:30
a.m. followed by a potluck
dinner at 11:30 a.m.
Lifelong member Jane Gray
cant remember the day when
the Latty church didnt play
a significant part in her life.
When church officials dug out
the church basement in the
early 1950s, they asked her father to assist with the project.
After that, he announced that

the family was going to start
attending church there and it
has been Grays church home
ever since.
Perhaps one of the most important personal times for Jane
occurred when a young man
by the name of Tony Gray
started attending the youth
group when he was 14 years
old. Gray was to later become
her husband and he and Jane
raised their children in the
church of their heritage.
The first services of what
was then known as the Latty
Episcopal Methodist Church
were held in the school building. On Feb. 22, 1895, an acre
of land was purchased that
was to become the location

of the church. That summer,
through donations by members such as felled trees and
sawed boards, the first church
was constructed.
The church remained as the
Latty Episcopal Church until 1939 when its name was
changed to Latty Methodist.
Then, when the Evangelical
United Brethren and Methodist churches merged, it became
known as the Latty United
Methodist. Finally, in 1974
when Broughton and Latty
united, it became known as
the Friends United Methodist
Church.
The bell still in use in the
church was purchased through
donations from interested
friends, including a surprise
donation from the Governor
of Ohio at the time.
The first lights in the church
were kerosene lights, but
when electricity became available in Latty in 1922, electric
lights were installed.
One of the most long-standing members is Russell Long,
now age 94, also a World War
II veteran. Long and his family
invested their life in assisting
with church life. As a trustee,
Long helped do church repairs
and oversee the safety of the
church property. Long, too, remembers when the basement
was dug out from beneath the
church.
I tried to take care of stuff
Russell Long is one of the oldest members of Latty Friends the best I could, said Long.
It meant a lot to me to atU.M.C.

tend here and bring my family
here.
Long and his family lived
just outside Latty for a lifetime.
Many members remember going to Longs home for parties
and church get-togethers.
Their home was always
open to us, said Gray. His
family was always so welcoming to us.
Church members have issued a special letter in conjunction with the 120th an-
niversary, explaining some

needs at the church.
The Latty Friends U.M.
Church has needed some updates for quite a while, states
the letter. The foundation was
recently repaired in order to
eliminate the basement flooding due to rain and snow. This
project led to replacement of
the sidewalks, along with landscaping issues.
The church has been a solid foundation for almost 120
years now, continued the letter. We are in need of monetary donations to fund these
major projects to keep this vital part of Paulding County in
great condition. We ask you to
pray about this and decide to
help us, which in turn will be
helping so many others.
Those who wish to give can
do so by sending donations
to the church in care of Jane

participate.
Six surviving veterans from
World War II from the Payne
area were identified and asked
to participate in the program, if
they so desired. They included
Bob Baumle, Bob Franklin,
Major Klinker, Russell Long,
Ray Balogh and Leroy King.
The program presenter for
the event, which drew a large
crowd, was Kent Miller.
Display contributors at the
library included Bob Baumle, Ron Etzler, Sean McBain, Terry Overmyer, Susan
Pieper, Myra Zartman, Gene

Olwin, Laura Cotrell, Antwerp
Branch Library and Stephanie
Jesko for marketing materials.
This was a very important
thing for our library. It (the display) brought in a lot of people
who dont normally come in
here, commented Payne head
librarian Suzi Yenser. We
had so many young people that
were genuinely into it. That
was so good to see.
We are going to lose these
stories if they are not told,
continued Yenser. At first,
the veterans were a little hesitant, but then they started to

share. It was very emotional.
They started talking; it was
very touching to see. The way
they opened up was very humbling.
Yenser said that once the
display caught on, word began to spread through various
means of media.
People came out of the
woodwork, said Yenser.
I couldnt have been more
pleased. Im very proud of our
Friends group.

ALS Committee
glad for support
Dear Editor,
We, the Miles for Mills
family, would like to thank
all the people who gave their
time and effort to raise funds
for research for ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Lou
Gehrigs Disease). Thank
you to those who donated for
the bake sale and silent auction, our biker guys and gals,
and our American Legion 297
for all they do. We couldnt
do without them. Saturday,
Aug. 22, we had the Ice Bucket Challenge. Man, was that
cold!
You may ask, Why do we
do this. We want a cure or

something to stop this disease. Right now, if you get
diagnosed with ALS, its an
automatic death sentence. The
average life span is two to five
years after diagnosis.
As the mama of the Mills
family, I lost my husband and
daughter to ALS and have a
son and another daughter diagnosed last Wednesday with
ALS.
We will have a tent at the
Payne Fall Festival in October. Come and join us for apple dumplings and ice cream
and other goodies.

and Dick Miles

Commissioners Journal
Commissioners Journal August 3, 2015
This 3rd day of August, 2015, the Board
of County Commissioners met in regular
session with the following members present: Roy Klopfenstein, Tony Zartman, Mark
Holtsberry, and Nola Ginter, Clerk.
MEETING NOTES OF APPOINTMENTS
Brian Shuherk, Solid Ground, met briefly
with the commissioners on behalf of the
Paulding Chamber of Commerce. He asked
the commissioners if the chamber could have
permission to decorate the courthouse square
for the holiday season. The commissioners
granted permission.
Jerry Zielke, PCED, presented the lease
agreement between the commissioners and
Paulding County Economic Development
for the premises known as 103 E. Perry St.,
Paulding. The document was signed. The
lease shall be from Aug. 1, 2015, through
Aug. 1, 2020.
Brenda Crawford, Board of Election,
shared a news release she will have published
regarding the voting location changes and
March 2016 petitions. She noted the voting
location changes were made to better serve
the voters and to be proactive with the future
of elections in Ohio. Twelve precincts will
be consolidated into eight. Crawford also
requested authorization to participate in the
state of Ohio cooperative purchasing program
(see resolution below).
Treasurer Lou Ann Wannemacher met
with the commissioners to review the July
Sales Tax report.
Wannemacher and the commissioners met
to discuss her recent request for an increase
in her 2015 budget. She said her budget was
going to suffer a shortfall and she needed additional appropriations to cover a website and
association dues.
Klopfenstein noted her request prompted
a deeper dig into her appropriations. He

noted that since 2010, the treasurers appropriations have seen a 69% increase. Klopfenstein also commented that, although the
treasurers office assumed additional duties in
2009 and 2010, some of those duties had been
relieved in 2013; managing the county health
insurance and responsibility of the county
notes were the two main duties.
The commissioners noted the increase in
the treasurers office budget was significant
enough to include funding for ISSG and
Smartbill. The largest increase in expenses
has been in the payroll line items, with the
change from one full-time and one-part time
employee to two full-time employees. The
commissioners noted a total increase of 272%
in payroll line items since 2010, budgeting
$14,250 in 2010 and $52,988 in 2015.
The
commissioners
questioned
Wannemacher if her office can support
two full-time employees. They offered the
possibility of sharing an employee with
another office to relieve payroll expenses.
Wannemacher commented that she would
think about that option, but she definitely
does not want to reduce hours. She added that
her office requires a checks and balances to
be in place.
The commissioners then addressed
volunteer work in the treasurers office.
Wannemacher understands the implications
of non-bonded people working in her office.
The commissioners asked that Wannemacher
review her budget for efficiency.
IN THE MATTER OF MODIFYING
THE 2015 ANNUAL APPROPRIATION
(FUND 005)
Zartman moved to adopt the following resolution:
BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of
County Commissioners does hereby modify
the 2015 Annual Appropriation and hereby
directs the Paulding County Auditor to transfer funds in the Special Health Fund (Fund
005), to-wit; FROM: 005-001-00004/Special

Special Health/Salaries AMOUNT: $3,072.
IN THE MATTER OF AUTHORIZING

Commissioners Journal August 5, 2015
This 5th day of August, 2015, the Board
of County Commissioners met in regular
session with the following members present:
Roy Klopfenstein, Tony Zartman, Mark Holts-
berry, and Nola Ginter, Clerk.

County Engineer Travis McGarvey reported ODOT will soon begin its demolition of
the Paulding facility. He then requested authorization to apply for the OPWC program year
30 SCIP and LTIP funds for county projects
McGarvey then discussed the US 24 Corridor meeting scheduled for Monday, Aug. 10 at
the Paulding County OSU Extension building.
Intersections will be the topic of discussion.
McGarvey also reported he has been reviewing EDP transportation plan for the next wind
farm project.
John Brock, Phil Whaley, Poggemeyer Design Group; Jeff Johnson, Quality Masonry
Co.; Scott McDonald, McDonalds Design
and Build; Mike Weithman, Tuttle Construction Inc. Brock lead the pre-bid meeting for
the Paulding County Courthouse roof/dome
support repair. He gave a brief overview of the
project.
Brock noted the work hours would be from
dawn to dusk. He discussed there would be a
need for a designated lay-down area where
the contractor could store materials. Klopfenstein suggested the wide sidewalk entry into
the north entrance to the courthouse.
Brock reminded the potential bidders they
would be responsible for the security of the
equipment/materials left on-site.
He then asked the commissioners if a dome
window could be removed to simplify getting
the materials to the repair area. The commissioners said a window could be removed; however, they would expect it to be replaced.
They also emphasized the potential bidders that cautionary measures must be taken
to protect the outside of the building and the
vegetation/landscaping around the exterior of
the courthouse. Appropriate barriers will need

Medicare ACOs continue

to improve quality of care
Mercy Health (formerly Catholic Health
Partners) a Catholic healthcare ministry serving Ohio and Kentucky, announced
that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services has issued 2014 quality and financial performance results showing that more
Medicare Accountable Care Organizations
(ACOs) continue to generate financial savings while improving the quality of care for
Medicare beneficiaries by fostering greater
collaboration between doctors, hospitals, and
health care providers.
Mercy Defiance Clinic and Mercy Defiance
Hospital are part of Mercy Health.
We created Mercy Health Select to deliver high quality care at lower cost for the
64,000 ACO patients we serve in Ohio and

Mercy Health Select is doing just that providing our patients with affordable, superior
care, said Brent Asplin, MD, Mercy Health

OSU Extension calls for voluntary poultry registration

Extension Educator for Agriculture and Natural Resources in Paulding County.

would be very devastating to
our county as a whole.

Avian influenza: What Paulding County citizens should know

strains of AI have not affected any humans in the United
States.
Our countywide emergency preparedness team has
had to change our overall
plan because if avian influenza were to hit the county,
the euthanized birds would
need to be either composted
or hauled to landfills. Our
original plan, which was set
by USDA Animal Health
Division, was to bury dead
birds in biosecure bags. After some research has been
conducted and water table
levels were better identified,
burial is not an option for
any part of Ohio, according
to USDA. These changes of
requirements took place a
few weeks ago.
The main carriers of AI
are the water fowl migratory
species.
Avian influenza virus particles can stay alive for days.
Biosecurity on commercial and backyard poultry
farms are at a high. I cannot
stress enough the importance
of barn boots and separate
barn clothes to our backyard
poultry growers.
A person needs to designate a pair of shoes or boots

and a set of clothes that are
only going from the house
passed from other poultry

producers shoes that didnt
have barn boots and
walked into the local gas
to the chicken coop or barn.

These boots and clothes need
to be disinfected daily for the
best protection against AI.
The disinfection or washing process is important because avian influenza can be
passed from the smallest particles on your clothes, under
your fingernails and especially your shoes.
I couldnt tell you all the
steps I took a few days ago.
For example, AI could be
station or grocery store to

another backyard growers
shoes. If that grower did not
change shoes and quickly
ran to the barn to feed and
water their chickens, they
could potentially infect their
entire flock.
Cooper Farms are a major part of Paulding County
agriculture and one could
ask any of the employees
at any of their facilities of
the heightened biosecurity.
These employees have designated boots, clothes and

are even required to shower between barns multiple
times during their work days.
Their employees also cannot
be around other poultry or
poultry farms.
In our emergency preparedness plan, we are asking our community members
who have poultry to call or
email the Extension Office at
419-399-8225. We also have
available on online registration form that is quick and
easy at go.osu.edu/pauldingpoultry. Information obtained will be kept confidential.
Avian influenza has had
an impact on one of our inschool 4-H programs for
this year called Chick Quest.
Statewide, this program has
been canceled for the calendar year 2015 and into 2016.
Most people already know
that junior fair poultry projects were not allowed to be
exhibited at any county fair
in Ohio.

Ohio has moved to the top of

the list of egg production by
state.
Some parts of the country
are seeing egg shortages and
increased prices as local suppliers are feeling the crunch
of reduced layer numbers
nationwide. The cost of a
dozen eggs has increased 51
cents since April 30, according to the US Department
of Labor Statistics. This has
a spiral effect on foods like
mayonnaise and ice cream.
Our overall goal at the Extension Office is education
and preparation in the event
avian influenza hits here in
Paulding County. We want
to create better lives and
stronger communities for the
citizens of Paulding County.
This voluntary registration
is just one of those ways to
keep the citizens safe.

on avian influenza or to register contact Sarah Noggle,

also walk in the OSU Extension Office at 503 Fairground Drive, Paulding, or

Sometimes, I believe that
Monday is one of the most
dreaded days of the week. It
is back to work from the
weekend and we realize there
are five more days of work
ahead of us until the weekend
rolls around again.
Going back to when I
was a kid, my family mostly followed the words of the
song, Here we go round the
Mulberry Bush. Of course,
Monday was wash day, and
Grandma and Mama always
had a pot of beans cooking on
the stove. If the weather was
too cold to hang out clothes,
they hung them inside. In addition to that, we had a Maytag washer with a wringer in
it, so it took most of the day on
Monday to wash our clothes.
I still do my laundry on Monday, but it is a lot simpler with
a washer and dryer.
While I dont dread Mondays as much as I used to, there
are some days you just need to
take a break from your routine
and do something different.
Last Monday, while chatting with my friend, Kittie,
whom I went to school with,
I unexpectedly spoke up and
said, Lets take a picnic and
go to the park for supper.
Kittie agreed and we made
plans to meet at the park at 5
p.m. During the course of the
day, we both decided to just
stop and get some fast food
for our picnic. It was a gorgeous day outside with the
sun shining and gentle breezes
blowing. A perfect day to be
outside and doing something
different.
Kittie brought a cheeseburger and fries and I stopped
and got three tacos. That food
tasted really good as we sat,
A Penny for
Your Thoughts
By
Nancy Whitaker
chatted and enjoyed our surroundings. We finished eating
and both of us had been scoping out the playground equipment. Then we made the decision, Lets try them out.
Yes, we two older ladies ran
(walked?) over to the big purple dinosaur. We patted him
and decided to take pictures of
ourselves with our hands in its
mouth. Of course, we got on
the animals, which were on
springs. What fun. We felt like
kids again and neither one of
us fell off. There were three or
four different animals for us
to ride on and we again documented ourselves with photos.
No play date would be complete without getting on the
slide.
First, you had to climb on
rungs and get up to a platform
before sitting down to slide.
My problem was that I got
my leg caught under me and
had a rough time trying to get
it straightened out. As I went
down the slide, I said, Oh, I
am so scared! Then I opened
my mouth and let out a scream
that could be heard throughout
the park. Again, we both felt
like kids going down the slide,
besides, there were only a few

people in the park to see us.
The park also had swings
and little cars. Kittie tried out
the swings while I tried fitting
myself into a little car.
This may all sound silly, but
it was very uplifting to be outside, on a picnic, acting like
kids.
The last thing I tried to do
was shoot a video. I am not especially video savvy, but I did
think I was making a video.
I was announcing about how
much fun we had and Kittie
waved to the camera. What
can I say? After so many tries,
Kittie got tired of waving and
I got tired of trying to shoot a
video.
When we got home from
our excursion, we posted our
pictures on social media and a
lot of gals said, The next time
you go, let us know. We want
to play, too.
Kittie and I now have added
something else to our bucket
lists, which is to visit every
surrounding park, take some
fast food and try out the playground equipment. I am looking for a park that has a merrygo-round and a teeter-totter.
When I was young, I was so
small I could never get anyone
to teeter-totter with me as I
just was stuck at the top. Now,
after gaining a few pounds, I
think I could hold my own
with someone to get that thing
going up and down.
Do you like Mondays? Do
you want to go to the park with
us and just be kids again? Let
me know and Ill give you a
Penny for Your Thoughts. After all, Big girls like to play,
too. In the winter, we are
planning on going and making
snow angels.
Business News
Latta speaks out about EPA

regs at annual co-op breakfast
Paulding Putnam Electric and North Western Electric co-ops hosted their annual breakfast meeting for ACRE/COPA members on
Aug. 25.
COPA stands for Co-op Owners for Political Action and their political action committee is ACRE, which stands for the Action
Committee for Rural Electrification. ACRE
protects the interests of cooperatives and their
member-owners. The political action committee fights to keep electric rates affordable.
Ohio Congressman Bob Latta was the featured speaker and discussed the issues facing the electrical industry. This is a fight for
survival, to make sure we have power in this
country. Its up to us. Its a constant fight,
and we will keep at it. This administration
doesnt want any coal, zero. For states that are
coal dependent like Ohio and Indiana, it becomes our problem.
The Clean Power Plan has regulations that
will cut carbon emissions at existing power
plants 32 percent from 2005 levels. The goal
is higher than what was originally proposed.
Latta warned those in attendance that the regulations do not just effect power producers
and homeowners but businesses as well. If
plants have to shut down because they cannot

reach those levels, it is possible that blackouts
will happen. You just cant shut off power to
a steel plant, he said.
George Carter, CEO/GM at Paulding Putnam Electric Cooperative, said when he
looked at the White House release about the
new EPA regulations, he was struck by the
fact that the ag department and rural America
were not among the list of those responsible
for overseeing how it was implemented.
That is one thing we need to fight for, he
said. We really need to push for equal treatment on how rural American is dealt with.
Darin Thorp, president of North Western
Electric Cooperative, made a statement similar in nature. If you take a look at energy production by state, the east coast and west coast
wont be affected by this, he said.
The coal plants we have today weve had
to spend $1.1-$1.2 billion to get to this level. They say natural gas is the way (to help
alleviate power concerns), but the EPA put
more regulations on that last week. They want
renewable (only). The restrictions are harder
than before. We need everyone to step up and
send emails to our government.
Foreign Trade Zone

PAULDING Paulding County now joins
the following Northwest Ohio counties of Defiance, Erie, Fulton, Henry, Lucas, Ottawa,
Sandusky, Williams and Wood as part of Foreign Trade Zone 8 (FTZ 8).
Jerry Zielke, Paulding County Economic
Development (PCED) director, stated, I am
excited that Paulding County is now included in the Northwest Ohio FTZ 8. It will be a
definite advantage for current companies and
any new company
looking at locating
here in our county. I would like to
thank the Paulding
County commissioners for their
cooperation
in
getting Paulding
County included
in the Zone.
A news release
from PCED and the county commissioners
said the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority
has been the grantee of FTZ 8 since 1971, and
has recently been approved for the reorganization and expansion of the zone under the
Alternative Site Framework (ASF).
The ASF is an optional approach to the designation and management of zone sites allowing greater flexibility and responsiveness that
expands the reach of the Foreign-Trade Zone
to alargeservice area in Ohio.
Companies that have a need for FTZ designation will no longer have to wait for the traditional process ofrequest,reviewand approval
for zone use. Qualified users now may enjoy
FTZ benefits in as little as 90 days.
The fundamental benefits offered by the
FTZ program are the ability to defer, reduce or
even eliminate U.S. Customs duties on products admitted to the zone.

For additional information on FTZ 8 contact Randy P. Campbell at 717-873-0569 or
email ftz@campbelltradegroup.com.
WHAT IS A FOREIGN-TRADE ZONE?
The Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) Program is
a trade program designed to offer certain specific benefits to the users and each potential
user in analyzing the relevant facts and circumstances to determine and to quantify
the potential benefits
of operating or using
an FTZ.
F o r eig n - Tr ad e
Zones are organized
as general-purpose
zones or as subzones. General-purpose zones are organized using public
utility principles and serve multiple users.
Subzones are adjuncts to general-purpose
zones organized to serve only one user.
Foreign-Trade Zones are secured areas located in or near U.S. Customs Ports of Entry,
but legally considered to be outside the Customs territory.
In a Foreign-Trade Zone, merchandise
may be assembled, exhibited, manufactured,
mixed, processed, relabeled, repackaged, repaired, salvaged, sampled, stored, tested, displayed and destroyed.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF USING
THE PROGRAM?
The fundamental benefits offered by the
FTZ program are the ability to defer, reduce or
even eliminate U.S. Customs duties on products admitted to the zone.
Commissioners Journal August 10,
2015
This 10th day of August, 2015, the
Board of County Commissioners met
in regular session with the following
members present: Roy Klopfenstein,
Tony Zartman, Mark Holtsberry, and
Nola Ginter, Clerk.
Erika Willitzer, Paulding Putnam
Electric Co-op, met with the commissioners to follow-up on the Regional
Growth Partnership meetings she has
recently attended. She reported the
meetings have gone well, although
not as well attended as she would have
hoped.
Willitzer stated the biggest hurdle
is infrastructure. Her top priority is to
rally for a collective game plan among
the current economic development
entities in the county. Her opinion is
that grant dollars would be more easily secured by combining efforts. She
emphasized that she and the Paulding
County Economic Development director are working closely to make the
county more marketable.
The commissioners assured Willitzer they would support their efforts
as much as possible. The commissioners concern is at what point in time
do they consider investing taxpayer
dollars for infrastructure to promote
possible economic growth.
Zartman stated, If we arent willing to invest in our county, nobody
will invest in us.
The commissioners were interested
in a final recommendation report from
Insite Consulting. Willitzer assured
them she would forward it to them
when she receives it.
She commented that Paulding Putnam is attempting to create its own
RLF for gap-lending. She is working with PCED in an effort to complement their RLF, not compete against
it.
She reminded the commissioners
of the meeting sponsored by Paulding
Putnam Electric Co-op this Friday.
Willitzer encouraged the commissioners to attend.
Ed Bohn, Paulding County EMA,
reported Paulding Countys mitigation plan has been approved and will
be submitted on Aug. 24 to the federal
government. We are in FEMA region
#5 and our report will go to Chicago for
consideration.
Bohn noted there is sufficient money
in Ohio and this is not a competitive grant. He is confident we will be
awarded the amount requested.
Bohn has also submitted the EMPG
baseline funding request. He added
$5,000 from his 2014 request of $32,000
to allow to equip the EOC (Emergency
Operations Center). The 2014-15 SERC
report has been submitted. SERC is the
governing body of LECP.
Bohn then reported the regional directors from the Black Swamp Citizens
Corps have made their requests for supplies and equipment. He noted Paulding
County requested 15 AEDS (automatic
external defibrillators for sheriffs cruisers) with two extras, a 6X4 John Deere
Gator, and light tower packages.
The Black Swamp Citizens Corps,
consisting of Paulding, Putnam, Defiance, Henry, Fulton and Williams counties, has been recognized by the Ohio
EMA for their efforts working as a
group.
Bohn reported the generator at
the OSU Extension Building has had
some issues kicking on when needed.
He then noted the total dollar amount
from flood damage did not qualify for
reimbursement from the state.

RISK SHARING AUTHORITY
(CORSA)

EXECUTIVE SESSION
A motion was made by Holtsberry
to go into executive session at 8:07
a.m. with the Paulding County Prosecutor to discuss legal matters.
At 8:42 a.m. all members present
agreed to adjourn the executive session
and go into regular session.
IN THE MATTER OF AUTHORIZING THE PAULDING COUNTY
AUDITOR TO PAY ADMINISTRATION FEES TO PAULDING
COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FOR ENTERPRISE
ZONE AGREEMENT FUND 125
WHEREAS, on August 11, 2015,
Paulding County Economic Development submitted a request to the

Paulding County Commissioners to
pay the fees for the administration of
the Enterprise Zone Agreement in the
amount of $4,841.63 from Enterprise
Zone Agreement Fund 125; now,
therefore

fees in the amount of $4,841.63 from
Enterprise Zone Agreement Fund 125
to Paulding County Economic Devel-
opment Inc. in the form of a check.

IN THE MATTER OF AMENDING THE 2015 ANNUAL APPROPRIATION (FUND 024)
Holtsberry moved to adopt the following resolution:

MVR Expenses AMOUNT: $8,200.
Commissioners Journal August 12,
2015
Mark Holtsberry, and Nola Ginter,
Clerk. Absent: Tony Zartman.
Sheriff Jason Landers reported he
hopes to meet soon with the Putnam
County sheriff to discuss the inmate
housing contract renewal. He presented
his monthly report for July and noted
the inmate count remains steady; however, the number of average days per
stay has gone up.
Klopfenstein mentioned the sheriffs office parking lot and told Landers the commissioners are aware of its
needing repair.
Landers reported he attended the US
24 Corridor meeting hosted by ODOT

last week. Discussion for possible
solutions to accidents at the at-grade
intersections were discussed. Alert
drivers, rumble strips, squaring the intersections were just a few ideas.
The commissioners noted the memorial service for Randall Smith went
well. The commissioners thanked
Landers and his staff for their diligence
in organizing/coordinating the event.
Jerry Zielke, PCED, presented
copies of the ODOT programs report
for the commissioners review. He
reported he continues to work on the
East Perry Street building to ready it
for use. Zielke then updated the commissioners on a few of the projects he
has been working on.
Barry Hanenkratt met with the
commissioners to discuss a situation at
his residence. He reported a fence had
been put across a private driveway. He
shared pictures of the fence and noted

the signage on the fence.
The commissioners noted the fence
appears to be on an easement for the
sewer system. The easement allows the
owner of the land to do what they want
to their property, knowing there may
need to be repairs done to the sewer
line.
Hanenkratt maintains two of the
fence posts have been put on his property. Hanenkratt has contacted the
township trustees, who directed him
to the township zoning director. He
claims the blocking off of the road
causes 10 property owners to find an
alternate route to their homes. The
commissioners agreed to find out if the
fence impedes the ability to maintain

Vancrest-Payne residents learn about dangers of mosquitoes

By Staci Miller
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
Last week, the residents
at Vancrest-Payne learned
about the increasing dangers
of mosquitoes due to our
extra wet spring and summer. Staci Miller, SWCD
education specialist, taught
the residents the different
life cycles a mosquito goes
through before it becomes an
adult mosquito.
Mosquitoes have six legs.
They also have a head, thorax and abdomen. On the
head are two large compound
eyes, two simple eyes, two
antennae and a proboscis.
Two large, scaled wings
sprout from the thorax.
Male mosquitoes locate females by the sound of their
wings. Females can beat
their wings up to 500 times
per second, and the males
pick out the higher frequency
of those beats when seeking
a mate.
Female mosquitoes can lay
up to 300 eggs at a time. The
eggs are deposited in clusters
called rafts on the surface of
stagnant water, or they are laid
in areas that flood regularly.
Eggs can hatch in as little as
an inch of standing water.
Mosquitoes spend their
first 10 days in water. Water
is necessary for the eggs
to hatch into larvae, called
wigglers. Wigglers feed on
organic matter in stagnant
water and breathe oxygen
from the surface.
Then they develop into
pupae, which do not feed
and are encased in cocoons.
Over the few days, the pupae
change into adult mosquitoes. The entire life cycle
process can take between
10-30 days depending on the
temperature of the environment.

Mosquitoes are coldblooded and prefer temperatures over 80 degrees.
The average mosquito
lifespan is less than two
months. Males have the
shortest lives, usually 10
days or less, and females can
live about six to eight weeks,
under ideal conditions.
Due to the abundant rainfall this year, there have been
reports of the West Nile Virus
in northwest Ohio. West Nile
Virus came to the U.S. in
1999. Scientists first identified it in a feverish woman in
Uganda the West Nile district in 1937. There were
large outbreaks of the virus
reported in Israel, South Africa and Romania up through
the late 1990s. The virus first
appeared in the United States
in 1999 with an epidemic in
New York.
Mosquitoes have very
strong senses which help
them to find and locate their
next meal.
Mosquitoes can smell
human breath. They have receptors on their antennae that
detect the carbon dioxide released when humans exhale.
Those plumes of CO2 rise
into the air, acting as trails
that the mosquitoes follow to
find the source.
Sweat also helps mosquitoes choose their victims.
Our skin produces more
than 340 chemical odors,
and some of them smell like
dinner to mosquitoes. The
chemical octenol, released
in our sweat, as well as cholesterol, folic acid, certain
bacteria, skin lotions and
perfume can attract them.
Body heat also enables
them to help mark their next
Vancrest-Payne residents JoAnn, Geno and Joyce learned about the mosquitoes and even made their very own friendly mosquito.
target. Mosquitoes use heat

sensors around their mouthparts to detect the warmth of
your body and the blood inside it then land on you and
locate the best capillaries for
tapping.
Only female mosquitoes bite people using their
proboscis, which is a long,
pointed mouthpart that is serrated to pierce the skin and

locate a capillary. While one
tube of the proboscis draws
blood, a second pumps in saliva containing a mild painkiller and an anti-coagulant.
The saliva causes the bump
and the annoying itching.
DEET is considered the
gold standard of mosquito

repellents. Endorsed by the
Centers for Disease Control (CDC), DEET doesnt
mask the smell of the host,
the mosquitoes simply dont
like it because it smells bad
to them.
After the Vancrest residents learned all about mos-
quitoes, they each got to

make their own mosquitoes
using suckers, pipe cleaners
and tissue paper. Staci told
the residents that instead of
the mosquitoes sucking your
blood, if you got tired of your
mosquitoes you could suck
their blood since their bodies
are suckers.

Local marinas, boaters may participate

in Clean programs through ODNR, OSU
SANDUSKY After a
decade of success, the Ohio
Department of Natural Resources in partnership with
the Ohio Sea Grant College
Program have expanded two
nationally recognized initiatives that help businesses
and boaters keep recreational
water resources clean. The
Ohio Clean Marinas and
Ohio Clean Boater programs
are now inviting marinas and
boaters across the Buckeye
State to join these stewardship initiatives.
To be certified as an Ohio
Clean Marina, marina owners
voluntarily pledge to implement a number of practices
that are proven to improve
water quality. Then, natural
resource professionals help
marinas implement the stewardship measures and ensure
marinas are following applicable rules and laws. When a
marina staff believes they are
achieving program goals, the
marina owner requests a certification site visit.
Once certified, a marina
can display the Ohio Clean
Marinas Program logo, has
the opportunity to participate
in the shrink-wrap recycling
program, receives promotion
as an Ohio Clean Marina and

is eligible for another of additional incentives.
In similar fashion, individuals can pledge to be a
Clean Boater and are educated on stewardship actions for
Ohios shared water resources. More than 2,000 recreational boaters have pledged
and are following best boating practices.
Marina owners near Lake
Erie saw the financial and social benefits of being certified
as an Ohio Clean Marina and
asked the department for assistance in developing clean marinas and boaters programs for
inland lakes and rivers, said
ODNR Director James Zehringer. By working collaboratively, we were able to take a
Lake Erie-stewardship success
story and expand it statewide.
Through an extensive
public-private partnership,
the Ohio Clean Marinas and
Ohio Clean Boater programs
were developed in 2004 to
serve marinas and boaters
along Lake Erie. The first
Ohio Clean Marina was certified and the first Clean Boaters
pledged in 2005. Today, more
than 45 marinas along Lake
Erie are certified as Ohio Clean
Marinas, and an additional 35

have committed to meet the
programs certification standards.
Ohio Clean Marina certification is an economic tool
marinas can use to attract additional business, said Ohio Sea
Grant College Program Interim Director Dr. Chris Winslow.
The energy and enthusiasm
of those involved with the program is contagious.
Lake Erie Watershed marinas and boaters wanting
to be part of this initiative
should contact Orlando at orlando.42@osu.edu or Jenny
Roar at jenny.roar@dnr.state.
oh.us or 419-626-7980.

each program, including a certification checklist and stewardship factsheets, is available

Commissioners Journal August
17, 2015
Tony Zartman, Mark Holtsberry, and
Nola Ginter, Clerk.
Ken Maag, Poggemeyer Design
Group, opened the bids for the courthouse dome/copula repair project
Sheriff Jason Landers presented
a proposal from the Putnam County
Sheriff for inmate housing for 2016
and 2017. He reviewed the numbers
with the commissioners, explaining
the average days of stay per month is
664 so far in 2015.
They discussed various options
of payment, i.e. paying a straight per
diem rate per inmate or paying a set
amount quarterly. Sheriff Landers
noted paying a set amount is much
easier to budget. He is pleased with
the service the Putnam County Jail
has offered Paulding County for the
past several years and hopes to reach
an agreement soon. Sheriff Landers
will keep the commissioners updated
as appropriate.

We are in our third year now, stated Barb Searing, a member of the church.
The first year we decided to try this idea,
we thought wed try one event and see how
it went. The second year, we invited other
churches to partner with us to provide three
parties, and now there are five parties in 2015.
Its wonderful to see it continue.

Arbor celebrates successful year

OAKWOOD Oakwood
Arbor #759 met Aug. 24 at
the Old Barn Out Back in
Lima to celebrate a successful year of volunteering in
the Oakwood community and
throughout Paulding County.
As an Arbor Group, they
are given the opportunity to
do 25 starred items that are
determined by the Gleaner
Insurance Company. For the
last 11 years, this Arbor has
been successful in getting an
award for doing all of them.
This years benefactor gift
goes to the Bargain Bin of
Paulding County Inc. The
Bargain Bin is in the process
of constructing a new building in Paulding.

mulching the park in Oakwood, reading to the school
children at the Oakwood Elementary, playing bingo at
the Laurels Nursing Home in
Defiance, working at the John
Paulding Historical Society,
cleaning the streets and park
after the annual Oakwood
Homecoming and much
more.
Every year, three people
are chosen for the Community Service Recipient Award.
2015 winners were Ellie
Miller, Kathy Denny and
Ron Eakins. These three have
shown that they enjoy volunteering and are an asset to the
community that they live in.

been planned and include: his-
tory of the Charloe Indian reservation, a speaker from the

physical therapy department
of the Paulding County Hospital, service dog program,
information on the local levies for this falls election, and

landscaping with annuals and perennials, vegetable gardening, tree selection and ID, fruit tree

run through Tuesday, Nov. 24. The classes will be

held 6 p.m. 9 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday

WT JR./SR. HIGH SCHOOL
Phil Nofziger, Principal
It has been my pleasure to help open the 20152016 school year at Wayne Trace Jr./Sr. High
School. The staff and students have been very
welcoming to me and I trust the same can be said
with all new students and staff members. My
expectation for students and staff is for everyone
to give their best effort. I have been very pleased
with what I have observed these first weeks of
school. I have found your sons and daughters to
be respectful and polite. Parents, you should be
very proud!
Educationally, I am impressed with the tools
that our students have been given to help
prepare them for todays world. The laptop
computers that are available for all students can
be wonderful devices to enhance education if
used properly. We will continue to seek ways to
use the technology that is available to make sure
our students are ready for 21st century skills.
It was noted last year that our present sophomores will be the first class that will not be
responsible to take the Ohio Graduation Tests as
a requirement for graduation. The Class of 2018
(sophomores) and beyond are required to take
seven end of course exams that the state of
Ohio is providing in the following areas: English I
and II, Algebra I, Geometry, American History,
American Government and Biology (the Class of
2018 took a Physical Science test last year as
their science but the Class of 2019 and beyond
have the Biology requirement). One change from
last year is that a performance based assessment
that was given in March or April has been eliminated for the future. This will provide more time
on task and relieve some of the testing time
that had been required of our students. Each of
the seven exams will be scored on a scale from
one to five (five being the highest). A total of 18
points is required to meet the state graduation
requirement along with the credit requirements
set up by the state of Ohio and our local Wayne
Trace board of education.
I want to thank all parents who have completed the forms necessary for your sons and daughters to attend Wayne Trace Jr./Sr. High School.
As a reminder, we must have emergency medical
information on each student. Parents, if you
have not filled an emergency medical form out,
please do as soon as possible. If it has been
misplaced, please contact us and we will make
sure you receive one immediately. Also, if you
believe that your son or daughter would qualify
for a free or reduced lunch, please complete the
form and return it to our office.
Lastly, there is a tremendous amount of pride
in the Wayne Trace School District. We look to
continue a tradition of excellence in all that we
do at WTJH/HS. It will be my goal to help every
teacher improve instruction and each student to
learn what is necessary to be successful educationally and in life. I consider it a privilege to
serve as principal of Wayne Trace Jr./Sr. High
School.

SEPTEMBER 2015 NEWSLETTER
SUPERINTENDENTS MESSAGE
Dear Friends of the Paulding Exempted Vil
lage Schools,
The 20152016 school year is off to a suc
cessful start, which is a direct result of the
work of all staff members throughout the
summer. Even when school is closed, our
staff is hard at work preparing the buildings,
busses, and working on new academic initia
tives. We have many new staff members that
are excited to be part of the Panther family
this year and we are very fortunate to have
such a dedicated staff. I hope you take time
to visit our buildings and see for yourself the
great things happening in Education. When
great schools and great communities team
up, the results have no limit.
Bus routes are adjusted throughout the
school year as students move and new stu
dents come to the district. I would like to
remind families that students are only al
lowed one pick up and one drop off stop,
although we do allow students to get off
the bus at a different stop if the following
conditions are met:
*The student is still riding his/her regular
bus.
*The stop is on the regular route.
*There is a signed note from the parent re
questing the change for that day. The note
must be presented to the office in advance
and signed by the principal or secretary.
Keep in mind, any changes in bus transporta
tion may require a minimum of two days to
process. Please be patient with the process,
and please contact the transportation supervisors office if questions arise.
We have a growing number of students that
have many needs, and our community has
stepped up in many ways to assist. If you can
assist in any way, please feel free to contact
our building principals with questions or ide
as that can help our students.
The fall sports programs and activities are in
full action. Take time to attend an activity
and support the students/ staff in their extra
curricular activities. Senior citizen passes are
available in the administration building for
district residents who are ages 65 and over.
These passes grant free admission to all
home athletic events.
I am looking forward to another productive
school year, which will bring new opportuni
ties and challenges. If you have comments or
concerns about the school district, please feel
free to contact me at any time. My email
address is w_hanak@pauldingschools.org
and the phone number is 4193994656 x
1510. Go Panthers!
William D. Hanak, Superintendent
NOTES FROM THE PRINCIPALS
Paulding Elementary-Stephanie Tear
We are well on our way in the 20152016
school year! The positive attitudes and ex
citement for learning is evident at Paulding
Elementary School! I want to say a special
thank you to students, parents, teachers and
the community for making our school year
start off with pride and joy! Its great to be a
miniPanther!
Paulding Elementary is continuing to support
the Ronald McDonald House by collecting
pull tabs. Last year we were able to contrib
ute enough to receive a Hero of the Heart
award which is proudly displayed in our hall
way. It is a reminder to our students to be
part of a giving society. Another way we are
being super citizens is collecting food for a
food drive and information will be coming
home as it starts soon. We are always look
ing for opportunities for our children to give
back! I once read, There is no exercise
better for the heart than reaching down and
lifting people up. It is good to instill that
lesson early in life.
Dismissal time can be a very stressful time
for students, parents and staff. As a principal,
my greatest concern is safety; both physical
and emotional. I want the children to feel
secure about their afternoon dismissal time.
This year we will be utilizing a new product
called, mybackpacktags! I have explained
how it works to all the students and the di
rections have also been sent home. Myback
packtags are required for students to wear on
their backpack for safety of the students. Par
ents are still required to provide written
notice when your child will change after
noon dismissal routine. Important reminder:
if you have to make a phone call to the office
you must call by 2:30. No calls will be
guaranteed after 2:30 due to the number of
students in our school. We have a passion
and urgency to ensure safety for Paulding
Elementary students and we appreciate your
support.
Our PTO is a wonderful resource to the chil
dren at Paulding Elementary School. The
volunteers work very hard and diligently to
provide amazing opportunities and support

for their school days. Please think about join
ing this group and contributing your time and
talent to making children great!
Paulding Elementary strives to create an en
vironment where students feel safe, where
students learn to give back, and where stu
dents are engaged in learning. The teachers
are of great caliber at Paulding Elementary
and they are determined to have the best les
sons for each day ready for your children.
One thing I learned this summer was that it is
okay for children to fail in fact, isnt that
how we grow? What if the secret to success
is failure? Our children need to grow the
capacities to be able to handle difficult mo
ments, and failure is one of them. As our stu
dents grow and make their brains stronger,
our teachers are here to support and encour
age them to success! It is my heartfelt desire
that every child at Paulding Elementary feel
embraced and valuedand you can feel con
fident that we work daily towards success for
each and every child!
Oakwood Elementary-Jennifer Manz
Good Morning from Oakwood Elementary
on a beautiful, sunny August day! As I am
writing this, the staff and students are getting
settled in for their first full week of school.
Each day, I try to spend a little time in each
classroom (a very favorite part of my job!);
and I took the opportunity to do that this
morning before I sat down to type this arti
cle. I am always amazed at how quickly
children settle into a routine and become
familiar with different teachers expecta
tions. It was great to see how much learning
and exploring is already taking place and to
see the positive attitudes and eagerness the
children bring to these activities. I would
say we have hit the ground running!
Thank you to all who attended our open
house on August 18th. It is a wonderful
chance for parents to see the environment in
which their children will be spending so
much of the next nine months, and for teach
ers to be able to put family faces with names.
One of the items each family received during
open house or on the first day of school, was
the student/parent handbook. We encourage
you to look through the handbook and to
keep it in a place where it can be referenced
if you have a question about general school
policies. As this year progresses and ques
tions arise, please contact your childs teach
er right away giving them the opportunity to
clarify directions and/or provide immediate
interventions.
Friday, September 4th is a Professional De
velopment Day for our teachers, therefor stu
dents do not have school that day, and also
there is no school on Monday, September 6th,
which is Labor Day. Enjoy the four day
weekend!
I want to say a special thank you to parents,
teachers, and the community for your roles in
making this school year the best educational
opportunity possible for our children.
Middle School-Chris Etzler
Hello from Paulding Middle School! We are
just starting our first full week of school as
of this writing. We had a great first two days
last week as students and parents were out in
force for our Open House last week. It was
very well attended and I want to thank par
ents and family members for coming to meet
teachers and to allow their students to get
acclimated to a new building and/or class
rooms.
We used Friday, August 21 as our first Team
Time Friday, where teachers and students did
different activities to get to know each other
better. Teachers used the two hour time
period also for students to select a team
name, team motto and team mission state
ment. It was a very productive afternoon.
Our annual Middle School fundraiser will
run this year from August 25 to September 9.
This year we are selling a variety of items
including trash bags. This year our fund
raiser will have an online component, where
merchandise can be ordered and paid for
online and delivered to the purchasers
house, so there is no reason to not ask Grand
ma, Grandpa, or any other relative that lives
out of town to order! Our kickoff was held
on August 25. Please see a Middle School
student and ask them about this fundraiser!
Fall pictures will be taken on Tuesday, Sep
tember 8. On September 10, we will have an
assembly presented by Camfel Productions
titled Be Amazing. It will focus on the
importance of setting goals and the work
ethic necessary to achieve those goals. It
should be a very good presentation for our
students.
Please make sure to keep a positive balance
on your students lunch account, and also,
please make sure school fees are paid.
Our athletic teams have been practicing hard
through the month of August to prepare for
the fall sports season. All of them will start

their seasons in the next couple of weeks.
Our teams schedules are on our school web
site. We wish our athletes and coaches good
luck this fall!
Our first inservice day for teachers will be
held on Friday, September 4. Students will
not have to report to school on this day. En
joy the four day weekend! First nine weeks
interim reports will be sent out on Tuesday,
September 22.
Thank you for your continued support of
Paulding Middle School!
High School-Todd Harmon
Paulding High School welcomes back stu
dents to start the year. Thank you to those
who were able to attend our open house
meeting. We had a great turn out of parents
where we could set the tone to make the PHS
student experience and ways for success, the
best they can be. This cannot be done with
out parents help and collaboration.
We held our first Freshman Transitions
program on the first day of school, which is
designed to alleviate the concerns of incom
ing freshman and to make positive connec
tions while familiarizing the students with
the process and procedures designed to help
them be successful all four years of high
school.
We want to thank all of the PHS teachers
for all they have done to make the school
year start on a very positive note. Students
will be involved in fun activities by Houses
and will compete for the honor of winning
and being named on the House cup. There
will be incentives each 9 weeks for who is in
the lead for points. Points will be earned
from competitions during assemblies, grades,
behavior, citizenship/house involvement, and
attendance. The Houses are mixing grades 9
12 and each house has a teacher as a leader
to help in making sure all students get a
chance to be involved and keep the fun in
education, while challenging students to
problem solve, overcome and adapt to obsta
cles, and develop character and academic
goals that will help students in attaining col
lege and career skills. Paulding High School
wants all students to have a positive experi
ence while preparing for eventual testing
without the stress of test taking.

for after-school program
HAVILAND Western
Buckeye Educational Service
Center in partnership with
Wayne Trace Local Schools
is pleased to announce it was
Antwerp High Schools broadcast program has received an Operation Round Up grant. Broadcast teacher is Kayla Bagley (holding the check). Students include, standing from left Aaron ODonnell, Brian Geyer, Joel Steiner, Taylor Provines, Brittany Smith,
and Callie Perry; seated from left: Josh Ehlinger, Matt Dooley and Jarrison Steiner.
Broadcast students to benefit from grant

ANTWERP The broadcast program at Antwerp High
School has received a grant from Operation Round Up through
the Paulding Putnam Electric Cooperative Trust.
With money from the grant, broadcast students will visit
North Cantons Hoover High School video productions and
broadcast journalism classes this fall. Hoovers student-run
NCCS TV-11 is a fully operational television station that provides educational programming on Time Warner Cable, AT&T
U-verse and the Internet. Antwerp students will visit TV-11s
production facility and watch students in action as they produce news broadcasts, public affairs programs and live production.
This field trip will help advance Antwerps broadcast pro-
gram, which provides live morning announcements and feature stories over the television for the entire school district.
Over the next few months, these announcements will also
be available online through High School Cube, a streaming
service, as well as on the radio on 102.7 WMYW, Paulding
Countys only licensed, locally owned non-commercial radio
station.
Through membership generosity, the Paulding Putnam Electric CooperativeTrust is able to grant approximately $12,000
each quarter. A volunteer board, consisting of co-op members
representing different areas of the service territory, meets quarterly to discuss the applications and to decide how the money
will be divided.
awarded a continuation grant

for year four of its 21st Century Community Learning Center.
The district will receive
$112,500 this year. Total
amount over the five-year
grant cycle is $545,625. The
program was fully funded at
$150,000 for the first three
years. There is a 25 percent
reduction the fourth year and
an additional 25 percent reduction the fifth year. The
program will continue to focus on increasing math and
reading achievement, enhancing positive youth development and encouraging parent
and family engagement.
The target population is
middle school/high school
students from Wayne Trace
Local Schools who qualify
for free/reduced lunches, are
not proficient in reading and/
or math and are referred by
teachers and administrators
as needing academic, youth
development or family support. This doesnt mean that
other students are not able to
participate, but the goal is to
attract the students that would
benefit most from additional
programming. Wayne Trace
has 36 slots available in the
after-school program.
The program hours are
Monday through Thursday
from 7-8 a.m. and 3-5 p.m.
The morning time is for additional homework help and
remediation. After school the
students have a snack, take
part in small group and individual instruction and mentoring activities.

The tutoring curriculum
is Study Island, a web-based
math and reading program.
The mentoring activities will
focus on character education
and physical fitness. Both the
morning and afternoon portion
of the program are staffed by
certified classroom teachers.
There is no cost for this program. Wayne Trace is able to
provide transportation back
to the neighboring villages of
Latty, Payne, Haviland and
Grover Hill.
The staff have been working diligently and are looking
forward to continuing a collaborative relationship with
administration and staff to
effectively serve the students
at Wayne Trace Jr./Sr. High
School.

Century program coordinator, at 419-399-4711 or email

Color in the fall garden

If you had no calendar to
look at or even if you couldnt
feel the air or hear the sounds
around you, one look at the
garden and youd know we
are in the waning days of summer and fall has one foot in
the door. That doesnt mean
the garden cant shine in the
weeks ahead, but it does take a
little more effort to fill it with
plants that put its best foot forward.
Were in the shoulder season, when the brilliant and
lush displays of summer colors
are giving way to the familiar
menu of fall blooms. Colors
are beginning to subtly change
on foliage, with many plants
taking on a reddish tinge to
the edges of their leaves. Soon
others will put on a brilliant
display of red, yellow, or orange. Well be treated to a botanical rainbow of a different
sort.
Foliage that was once
green and fresh, now also
has a roughness to it, perhaps
brought on by the warm days
and cooler nights. The abundance of chewing insects like
grasshoppers may have made
a thick skin necessary for
survival.
But there are still plenty of
blooms to be had, too. Obviously, there are the usual
mums and asters, but those
arent the only things that
perform well in late summer
through fall.
Ive mentioned a favorite
here before - the toad lily (Tricyrtis spp.), which isnt really
a lily at all. Its a perennial
star of my late summer and
early fall garden, producing
orchid-like blooms right up to
frost. It does it in full shade,
yet to boot.
Another shade plant that
waits until fall to bloom is
lilyturf (Liriope muscari). Its
not usually grown for its flowers, although theyre attractive
spiky clusters in shades of lavender, but rather for its grassy
foliage that adds texture to the
front of the border.
Sneezeweed (Helenium autumnale) has a strange common name, and its not for the
reason you might think. Its
leaves were used in the past to
make snuff, intended to cause

sneezing, which was thought
to rid the body of evil spirits.
With daisy-type blooms in
autumn colors of red, gold, or
orange, its a beautiful addition
to the middle of the border that
will continue to bloom until
frost if you deadhead it.
Native black-eyed Susans
(Rudbeckia triloba), are one of
the easiest to add to the garden
and it sometimes adds itself in
places you might not want it.
Once youve planted it, youll
find its a prolific self-seeder.
In my garden, it has led to a
strange sort of gardening in
reverse. Instead of planting it
where I want it, I just remove
it from where I dont.
The tall sedums, sometimes
known as stonecrop, really
come into their own at this time
of year. If youve pinched them
back several times prior to the
first of July, you dont have that
unsightly flopping that theyre
prone to do and youll have
many more blooms. Autumn
Fire is a favorite of mine because it has deeper-colored
blooms than its cousin, Autumn Joy. There are many
other cultivars too, some with
foliage thats variegated or
dark, with a burgundy cast to it.
Hardy plumbago or lead-
wort (Ceratostigma plumbaginoides) makes a nice groundcover and has vibrant blue
blooms, in addition to having
foliage that turns a pretty red
in fall. Its quite late to emerge
in spring, so take note of that
so you dont think its dead.
Not a crocus, but often
called fall crocus, Colchicum
grows from bulb-like corms
and is a non-player in the garden until fall. It will put up
wide-leaved foliage in spring,
but then goes dormant until
September, when it springs
forth with fabulous blooms
in pastel colors. Its really delightful to see it come up when
youve all but forgotten you
even had it.
Saffron crocus (Crocus sativus) on the other hand, is a Colchicum is a summer-dormant plant that has beautiful, lush fall blooms. Waterlily is frilly and
true fall crocus and its beau- has a pale lavender color that seems to glow during the golden hour of early evening.
tiful red stamens are where
we get the spice saffron. Each
bloom will have four stamens,
which when plucked, allowed
to dry, and then crumbled, can
be added to culinary dishes.

Key penalty turns tide as
Raiders roll past Paulding
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
PAULDING Paulding
couldnt have asked for a
better start to Fridays high
school football season opener
with Wayne Trace.
The Panthers Preston Ingol took the opening kickoff
and dodged Raider defenders
in returning it 80 yards for a
touchdown that put the maroon-and-white on the scoreboard just a dozen seconds
into the contest. Corbin Edwards added the extra point
kick to put Paulding on top
7-0.
However, the momentum
would change on a key penalty call two possessions later
and the Panthers never recovered as visiting Wayne Trace
stormed back for a 56-7 win
in the Black Swamp Bowl at
Keysor Field.
Wayne Trace drove most
of the field on its first possession, putting together four first
downs in putting together a 68
yard drive over a dozen plays
in moving to the Panther 11
before turning the ball over on
downs.
On Pauldings first play
from scrimmage, the Panthers
Zach Buchman scrambled 89
yards for what appeared to be
a touchdown that would have
put Paulding on top 13-0.
The play was called back

though on a questionable illegal block call that seemingly took the momentum away
from Paulding and turned it
towards Wayne Trace.
Two plays later, the Raiders
have to be able to play through

those things, commented
Paulding head coach Tyler
Arend. Good teams bounce
back from that and that is
something we are working
on trying to do a better job of
Black Swamp Bowl history

intercepted a James Mourey

pass and the red- white-andblue scored on their next play.
Quarterback Gabe Wobler
hooked up with Luke Miller
on an 87-yard touchdown pass
that got Wayne Trace on the
board and took the life out of
the Panthers.
That was a huge swing
there, commented Raider
head coach Bill Speller. If
that score holds up, it is a twoscore game and they have all
the momentum. Instead, we
got a break and took advantage by scoring right away and
that was huge.
It was a critical play but we
playing through that adversity.

From that point on, it was
all Raiders.
Obviously, it wasnt the
start we wanted Speller continued. But I thought our
guys bounced back from it and
we did a lot of good things.
We were able to move the ball
there that first drive but we
just didnt finish. I think Gabe
(Wobler) was a little nervous
and it showed on that drive.
Once he settled down, our offense was pretty good and we
were able to get some quick
scores.

scores each came on the first

play of the possession.
Wobler found Cole Shepherd on a 59-yard touchdown
toss to make it 16-7 Raiders at
the 3:38 mark of the opening
quarter.
After the Raider defense
held the Panther offense,
Wobler connected with Seth
Saylor for a 68-yard scoring
strike that extended the lead to
22-7 at the end of one quarter.
Our speed was big for
us tonight, added the Raider mentor. Offensively, our
quickness really showed and
we were able to take advantage of it.
Wayne Trace is a good
team and they have good
chemistry with their quarterback and receivers, Arend
continued. Defensively, we
just have to continue to improve and keep working hard.
We told the guys that we have
moments where we see they
are able to be a very competitive football team but we have
to become more consistent.
Wayne Trace added four
more scores in the second
stanza.
Wobler and Saylor teamed
up for a touchdown pass of 17
yards before Eli Sinn caught
the two-point conversion pass
for a 30-7 lead.
On the next Raider possession, set up by a Caleb Schultz
fumble recovery, Saylor then
caught a 36-yard pass for a
score that widened the advantage to 36-7.
Wayne Trace pushed the
margin to 44-7 at the 1:23
mark of the opening half on
a four-yard plunge by Noah
Stoller.
I think one of the big things
for us is just to work hard and
get better, added Arend. We
need to work on eliminating
some of the mistakes.
The final score of the half
came with three seconds remaining when Shepherd
picked off a Mourey pass and
returned it 24-yards for a score
to give the Raiders a 50-7 lead
at the intermission.
Overall, I was pretty
pleased with the effort, added
Speller. We were able to do a
lot of things that we wanted to
see on both sides of the ball.
We have some areas to improve in but I was happy with
what we did tonight.
Wyatt Stabler provided the
final Raider points on a oneyard carry with 2:54 left in the
final quarter.
Wobler finished the night 10
of 17 through the air for 366
yards, including 359 of which
came in the first half. Saylor
led the Raider receiving corps
with four catches for 138
yards and three scores.
The Raider defense limited
Paulding to 72 yards of total
offense in the first half and 120
for the contest. Buchman ran
for 56 yards on seven carries
to lead the Panther offense.

up short in its opener, falling
to visiting Archbold 27-20.
Paulding will visit Fairview in
non-league play on Friday.
PATRIOT POINTS Patrick Henry ran for 357 yards
on 51 tries against Edgerton Friday night, getting 237
yards from Denny Johnson
on 30 carries. All five Patriot
touchdowns came via the run-
ning game. The Patriots trailed

13-8 at halftime before scoring 24 straight points to close
the game and get the victory.
Patrick Henry completed two
of eight passes for 56 yards
and totaled 17 first downs in
the contest. Penalties were a
problem for the Henry County
squad though with ten infractions for 80 yards.
ABOUT THE APACHES
Fairview gave up 343 rushing yards to Wauseon in the
42-10 loss to the Indians. The
Apaches totaled 117 yards on
38 carries in the contest, led
by Timmy Timbrook with

Lady Archers take

aim for GMC title
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
ANTWERP There is a optimistic feel surrounding the
Antwerp volleyball team as
they prepare for the upcoming 2015 campaign. And there
should be head coach Amy
Hammer returns nine quality
letter winners from last year
and everything points to a
very successful year.
The Lady Archers graduated three seniors including four
year starter Emily Hammon.
The all conference and county
player of the year will be hard
to replace but coach Hammer
is confident her newest edition of Archers can get the job
done. Also graduated from the
2014 team was the versatile
Gabby Zuber and Mari Flint.
We have good team chemistry and that isnt something
you can coach but it just comes
about by having the right girls
and athletes working together.
Team chemistry and experience will be what carries us
through the season. I like our
team. There is no selfishness
and everyone is a team player, said Coach Hammer.
The senior class wearing the
blue-and-white will be Audrie
Longardner (libero), and defensive specialists playing the
back row Sidney Barnhouse
and Beth Hawley. The middle
hitter will be Emily Derck and
outside hitters will be Kiana
Recker and Avery Braaten.
The junior class will also
provide a couple of players
who saw action last year. Sydney Sheedy (outside hitter)
and Peyton Short (setter) both
earned a letter last year and

will be called upon to help
lead Hammers squad. Other
juniors on the varsity roster
are Lindsay Bok and Becca
Johanns.
Rounding out the team are
two sophomores Rachel Williamson who played an important part in last years team
success and Hope Smith.
We won 16 games last year
and we feel we will be more
competitive this year and
compete for the top spot in the
Green Meadows Conference.
We have strong hitters and
the kids worked very hard in
the off season participating in
the Tiffin team camp and playing in the Defiance summer
league, Hammer commented.
One concern Hammer has is
that her team is not very tall.
According to the coach there
are some aspects of the game
they will need to excel in order
to overcome their height.
Being a team that doesnt
have a lot of tall players we will
have to overcome that by relying on our quickness and being
better passers and defenders. If
we cant pass then we will not
be very successful, commented the coach.
Coach Hammer, who has
won more than 100 volleyball games, has Heather Barnhouse, Kathy Koenn and Kaiya
Jemison on her coaching staff.
The Lady Archers opened
the season at home with Paulding and will play four more
out-of-conference matches before they travel to Ayersville
for their first big conference
test on Tuesday, Sept. 8.

VAN WERT It wasnt easy, but the Antwerp
Lady Archers stayed unbeaten on the young volleyball season by rallying past host Lincolnview
in four sets Saturday night.
The Lady Lancers held off the Archers for a 2725 win in the first set but Antwerp answered from
that point on.
Game two was primarily controlled by the visiting Archers for a 25-13 victory before Antwerp
rallied late in the third set to post a 26-24 victory.
Antwerp then sealed the match win in rolling to a
relatively easy 25-13 victory in game four.
Set one saw Lincolnview lead nearly the entire
first set before Antwerp almost rallied for the win.
With the Lancers in front 24-21, the Archers
took advantage of four straight Lancer misplays
to grab a 25-24 lead.
However, Lincolnview then re-grouped for the
win after an Antwerp miscue before kills by Alana Williams and Katlyn Wendel sealed the Lancer
victory.
The girls battled tonight, noted Lancer head
coach JaNahn Evans. We played hard and had a
good effort. We have to work on becoming more
consistent and eliminating the mistakes, but we
are a young team so some of that is we just have
to get the experience too.
Game two belonged to Antwerp.
The Archers scored 13 straight points early in
the set, turning a 3-1 deficit into a 14-3 advantage.
Antwerp got three kills and a pair of blocks for
points from sophomore Rachel Williamson on the
way to the 25-13 victory.
She is a big key for us offensively, commented Antwerp head coach Amy Hammer. A lot of
our offense is centered around her and she was
effective for us tonight.
Game three was the pivotal set of the match,
though.
It was a set that Lincolnview had in its grasps,
leading 23-19 late in the set before the Archers
rallied.
Kills by Kiana Recker and Williamson got Antwerp within 23-21 before an Alana Williams slam
put Lincolnview on top 24-21.
However, a Lancer service error and another
Recker slam cut the Antwerp deficit to 24-23.

After a Lancer hitting error tied the set at 24-24,
the Archers closed out game three with slams by
Williamson and Recker for the 26-24 victory.
I thought our girls did a good job of battling
back tonight, Hammer continued. We worked
our way back into game one even though we came
up short and then came out and played very well
in game two. Game three was similar to game one
except we were able to get the win. That was a
critical moment in the match and turned the momentum on our side and then we rode that into
game four.
Much like the second set, the fourth set belonged to the Archers.
Antwerp quickly opened a 12-3 lead and never
was threatened as the Archers rolled to the decisive 25-13 victory.
Our youth showed a little bit tonight, Evans
added. We are young and it is going to take
time. The big thing for us is we just have to keep
working hard and get better each match. Mistakes are going to happen but we need to learn
from them.
Alana Williams led the Lancers with 18 kills
in the match while MaKenna Klausing, Kayla
Schimmoeller and Katlyn Wendel added eight
kills each.
Lakin Brant posted 20 digs for Lincolnview
and Morgan Miller added 27 assists. Wendel
also chipped in three aces.
Morgan came in and did a very good job
for us tonight, Evans commented. We had to
make some adjustments in the last couple of
days, but I thought the girls did a nice job for the
most part. We just have to be patient and continue to improve.
The Williams girls is a very nice player,
Hammer said. Lincolnview is very young and
we knew that coming in.
Williamson posted 13 kills, seven aces and
three digs for Antwerp while Emily Derck
chipped in three assists, four kills and nine digs.
Kiana Recker added a dozen digs and 11 kills and
Sydney Sheedy posted seven digs and a dozen
kills. Audrie Longardner recorded 10 digs and
Avery Braaten added four digs and two kills.
Antwerp improved to 4-0 on the year and
will hit the court again on Thursday at Edon.

HAVILAND Sophomore Ellen Dee recorded 11 aces and
visiting Lima Central Catholic swept past host Wayne Trace in
three games to open the high school volleyball season.
The Thunderbirds recorded a 25-18 in game one before taking sets two and three by identical scores of 25-21.
She was one of the better servers we will see all year, noted
Raider head coach Angie Speice. She did a good job of making adjustments and changing her serve according to what we
tried to do, too.
Wayne Trace led early in game one, posting a 7-4 advantage
after a Sydney Critten ace and a Danae Myers block.
After LCC went in front 11-8 on a Gabby ODowd ace, the
Raiders got back within 12-10 on an Erin Mohr kill. The Thunderbirds then added eight of the next ten points to extend the
advantage to 20-12.
The Raiders did get as close as 22-18 after a Myers block
before Lima Central Catholic sealed the win with the last three
points of a 25-18 victory.
With Lima Central Catholic leading 8-7 early in game two,
the Raiders got four straight points, capped by a Danae Myers
kill, to take an 11-8 lead.
From there, though, it was all Dee. The sophomore Thunderbird picked up nine straight points to put Lima Central Catholic
on top 17-11.
After the visitors widened the margin to 21-13, four consecutive Raider points got Wayne Trace back within 21-17. A Sadie
Sinn ace pulled the hosts to within 23-20 before the Thunderbirds wrapped up the 25-21 victory on a Gabby ODowd ace.
One area we have to work on is our serve reception, Speice
continued. We need to do a better job there. Overall, though, I
was pretty pleased with the effort of the girls. They played hard
and put forth a good effort.
Lima Central Catholic again grabbed the lead in game three,
taking advantage of eight straight service points by Dee to open
the contest.
The Thunderbirds still led 21-13 midway through the game
before a late Raider run.
Wayne Trace picked up kills from Carissa Laukhuf and Erin
Mohr as part of a six-point run to close within 21-19.
Dee, though, responded with a slam to stop the run and Lima
Central Catholic finished off the game with a Lauren Dardio
kill to seal the 25-21 victory.
The girls showed a lot of heart tonight and never gave up,
Speice noted. I was very proud of the effort they gave and if
we continue to give that kind of effort I think we can be very
competitive.
Carissa Laukhuf posted 13 assists for the Raiders with Stacy
Flint posting nine digs. Erin Mohr recorded six kills while Danae Myers added four kills, five digs and three blocks.

Varner leads Panthers

past Van Wert in four sets
By JOHN PARENT

DHI Media
VAN WERT Paulding head coach Josh
Early wasnt sure his Lady Panthers had ever
beaten Van Wert coming into Thursdays nonleague volleyball match at the home of the
Cougars.
After a four-set win (23-25, 25-23, 25-21,
25-18), highlighted by exceptional play by
senior Jaycie Varner, the Panthers no longer
have that monkey on their backs.
For these girls to come in here to Van
Wert and play like that, against a team that
they havent beaten, to come in here and win
in that fashion, they wanted it, Early said of
his team. Im really proud of the way they
played.
Varner was a force on the outside all evening, and wound up with 16 kills. At the service line, she was in near complete command
as well.
She has a great serve, Van Wert head
coach Matt Krites said. She has a good jump
serve with topspin that really gets the ball diving; you dont see many high school girls that
serve the ball like that.
She led us in kills, tied for the lead in digs
and was second in aces, Early said of Varners play. A fantastic all-around game for
her, but it was really a team win. Im really
happy.
The Cougars led early in the opening set at
8-4, but the score was soon knotted up and the
set took on a back-and-forth nature that saw
significant points on both sides. A Landrie
Koontz ace put the Cougars ahead by one
midway through the set and a Koontz kill,
along with a kill followed by a block by Ella
Butler, gave the Cougars a narrow 25-23 set

win.
Shes been playing varsity, I think, since
she was a freshman, Krites said of Koontz,
now a senior. Shes done this before, so shes
able to keep sort of a calm demeanor out there
and understand this is when I really need to
step forward.
Paulding (1-1) battled back and took a difficult second set, winning 25-23, but Van Wert
could have easily been up two sets at that
point.
Paulding did a lot of great things, but we
were just missing on a lot of things where
wed just hit the top of the net or just be out
of bounds, Krites said. I think with some
seasoning, some more play, those things are
going to be for us.
I dont have a stat on unforced errors, but
I think we had quite a few, Krites added. I
know in one set we missed six serves; those
are just free points for the other team.
Despite the loss, Krites saw improvement
from his team, which falls to 1-1 on the young
season.
We kind of knew what Paulding was going
to do and they did it very well, Krites said. I
dont want to say Im disappointed in the way
we played because I wasnt. I told my team
this was a definite improvement over Tuesday
(a 5-set win over Lincolnview). I fully feel
that our next match will be an improvement
over this one.
For the winning Panthers, Jaycie Varner
finished with 16 kills and 15 digs and Audrey
Manz recorded 18 assists. Taylor March and
Kelsey Beck both added 15 digs for Paulding
with Cassidy Posey posting six aces.

Sportswriter
Beginning this week, a panel of self-proclaimed experts will
be showing their ability to pick the winners of football games.
The six individuals will risk their sports reputation as they lay
it on the line each week.
For the most part, the plan is to have games on the agenda
each week that will include high school, college and eventually professional games. To get things started, we will warm
up with a few area high school games along with a handful of
college games this week. Four NFL games will be added each
week once their season kicks off.
