could be between $168,000 to
$252,000.
My biggest concern is officer safe-
ty, said Landers. Right now the con-
ventional system working on a daily
basis is the best that we have. The
trunking system at the fairgrounds is
not a good system.
We are the only county in the en-
tire state besides Brown County that
has this system, added the sheriff.
Cost for monthly maintenance of

PAULDING At a special meet-
ing with EMA director Randy
Shaffer at the commissioners office
on Monday morning, the Paulding
County commissioners voted unani-
mously to dismiss Shaffer from his
office immediately.
Commissioner Tony Zartman mo-
tioned that, because of opportunities
given Shaffer to redeem himself and
hadnt, and opportunities for him to
be a team member in work with other
entities, I move that we dismiss him
as EMA director immediately.
Commissioner Fred Pieper sec-
onded the motion and the three-per-
son board consisting of Zartman,
Pieper and Roy Klopfenstein voted
unanimously in roll call to sustain the
vote.
Im sorry this came to this, com-
missioners said to Shaffer.
I am too, responded Shaffer. I
completed the task you gave me
within the deadline you gave me. I
dont understand what happened be-
tween last week and this week.
The latest round of ongoing ten-
sion between Shaffer and the com-
missioners office began on March
31 when Shaffer had assured com-
missioners that he had sent financial
accountability reports for the last
quarter of 2013 to state officials. Last
week, however, Shaffer told the
county board that he thought he had
sent the report but wasnt sure.
At that time, Zartman asked
Shaffer for documentation to be pre-
sented at this weeks meeting.
Zartman said at that time he had a
reprimand in writing, but if Shaffer
could clear things up this week, he
would tear up the reprimand.
Mondays meeting began with
Zartman saying to Shaffer, Do you
have what I need?
Shaffer responded, Its been sub-
mitted but I dont have a letter from
the state yet confirming it.
When I brought this to your at-
tention two weeks ago, you said that
it had been submitted, said Zartman.
Shaffer replied by saying, I have
to go back and see.
I told you that I needed documen-
tation. I had a feeling two weeks ago
that you knew that the documents
hadnt been submitted, said
Zartman. Am I wrong?
Yes, I remember that I had part of
them done, but they hadnt been sub-
mitted. Now they have. They werent
due until July 10, noted Shaffer.
Zartman told Shaffer that the prob-
lem is cash flow. He noted that they
have become aware of how low the
EMA Fund is.
Personally, I feel that you lied. I
feel that you broke your pledge to
this office, retorted Zartman. I feel
that you have misled us; I dont see
you being a team player. I feel that
you have some hard feelings about us
taking over this department.
You have not been as responsive
as we had hoped, continued
Zartman. We gave you guidelines
but they havent been met.
Zartman said that commissioners
had seen a little improvement in
Shaffers performance at an earlier
review, but the feeling now is that the
improvement is gone.
Its getting very tiring deal with
this issue and not seeing any im-

Commissioners fire EMA director
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
PAULDING Paulding County
commissioners and Sheriff Jason
Landers are currently working ag-
gressively to secure a more effective
radio communication system for law
enforcement officials in the county.
Commissioner Fred Pieper said that
the county board is deeply concerned
about glaring deficiencies in commu-
nicating from one side of the county
to the other.
There are areas of the county
where first responders cant reach dis-
patchers, said Pieper. There might
be a domestic dispute in on the south-
east side of the county. The officer
gets on his walky talky and cant
reach dispatch. When he gets inside,
he cant communicate.
Currently, said Pieper, there are a
couple of options available, but nei-
ther are considered fully dependable.
One is to borrow one of the frequen-
cies off the EMA tower and use them,
but that can often cause conflict with
users in Van Wert County.
We can go through the FCC, but
that system and the EMA system are
like two generations old now, said
Pieper.
Both the commissioners and sheriff
agree that the best solution these days
is what is known as Multi Agency
Radio Communication System
(MARCS).
That radio system, said Pieper, is
associated with Motorola and recently
went through a major upgrade in the
latest and greatest technology.
You can talk to any other agency in
the state of Ohio, said Pieper. You
can communicate with ODOT, sheriff,
EMA or whoever is needed.
At first, county officials were look-
ing at the cost of purchasing radios for
countywide officials. However, com-
missioners currently are looking into
purchasing 26 portables and 16 mo-
biles at a cost of $4,000 to $6,000
apiece, depending on the complexity
of their functions.
The total cost for these 42 radios

Correspondent
PAYNE The Payne
Village Council met in regular
session on Monday night.
Street repairs, architectural
fees for the new village of-
fices, and the village garage
sale days were set to highlight
the meetings agenda.
A motion was made and
passed to accept the estimate
from Poggemeyer Design
Group in the amount of
$15,500 for architectural and
engineering work for the 109
N. Main St. property that will
become the village offices and
police department.
Resurfacing of Ohio 49
within the village will take
place during the summer
2015. Intersection subsurface
repair will be the responsibili-
ty of the village. Estimates and
proper procedure when fixing
the intersection repairs are still
being determined.
Village pothole repair is es-
timated at a cost of $1,417 and
will be done in the near future.
Two additional projects
under consideration includes
the resurfacing of Maple
Street from Ohio 613 north to
the approach at Mercer
Landmark driveway at a cost
of $15,265, and the resurfac-
ing of Foust Street for $7,923.
No timetable has been set for
the resurfacing projects.
Concerning the fire depart-
ment, a motion was passed
placing a hiring freeze due to
budget constraints. A motion
was made to support the rec-
ommendation by the trustees
making it mandatory that the
fire chief no longer drive his
personal vehicle to fires. In the
future, the chief is required to
go to all fires on the fire truck.
The village and ball associa-
tion had their yearly inspection
of the facility followed by the
signing of their contract.
Several projects still need to
be completed, including tile
being placed on the fence, two
fire extinguishers placed in the
concession area, painting the
fence, and shingles replaced
on the west side of the conces-
sion stand.
Steve Crowley and Kerry
Hook were present and ex-
pressed their interest in filling
the vacant council seat.
Village resident Robert
Williams reported that stand-
ing water continues to invade
his property. Possible causes
include broken drain tile or a
possible broken catch basin.
The village will determine the
problem and will hopefully fix
the issue to the property
owners liking.
In other business:
Buckeye Exterminating
will fog the village five times
at a cost of $340. The dates
when fogging will take place
will be May 27, June 15, July
28, Aug. 18 and Sept. 8. The
date for a sixth fogging has yet
to be determined.
Due to recent vandalism
at the old lagoon area, the
try to address this issue, said
Pieper. We are trying to se-
cure grant money. I have spo-
ken to state legislators and
senators. I have spoken with
the governors office and the
chairman of committees that
work with funding issues.
Pieper said that Motorola is
also attempting to secure
funding to assist with the ra-
dios.
There are many possibili-
ties developing, added
Pieper. The governor has or-
dered legislators to get fund-
ing for user fees throughout
the state.

FRED PIEPER
MARK HOLTSBERRY
BOB BURKLEY
Name: Fred Pieper
Town: Paulding
Office sought: County com-
missioner
Incumbent: Yes
Political affiliation:
Republican
The most important issues
connected to this office at
this time are: Job creation.
The commissioners provide
funding for and work closely
with the economic develop-
ment office to attract potential
business and industry. This in-
cludes following up on leads
and processing the required
paperwork to attract, retain or
expand business.
Safety of our emergency
personal. The current radio
system needs to be upgraded.
What issues need to be ad-
dressed immediately? I am
spearheading the ongoing
work to upgrade the sheriffs
office radio system so emer-
gency personnel will be able to
reliably communicate from
anywhere in the county. I am
working with the governors
office, state senators and rep-
resentatives, state fire marshal,
the FCC, Multi-Agency Radio
Communication System
(MARCS) personnel and
grant providers to secure fund-
ing; lobbying for the discon-
tinuing of cost prohibitive
monthly user fees as an at-
tached amendment to House
Bill 375.
Objectives and/or goals if
elected: Continue to keep the
lines of communication open
with the public. Initiated radio
interviews for commissioners
during my first term. After that
avenue was discontinued we
began with newspaper inter-
views. The commissioners
have an open door policy.
Many times a citizen has a
question, complaint or com-
ment for us and they come to
the office. We make the time
to see them. It is very impor-
tant that citizens educate them-
selves and not believe ru-
mors that tend to circulate in
the county.
Development of key county
interchanges of U.S. 24. If re-
elected, I will continue to work
with Jobs Ohio, the governors
office and grant providers to-
wards the goal of securing
funding for development of
necessary infrastructure.
Continue to be fiscally re-
sponsible with taxpayers dol-
lars. There is no padding of the
county general fund with wind
farm revenue. The county re-
ceives a little over one-ninth of
total wind-turbine revenue
from one farm and two-ninths
from the other. The remainder
is distributed to other taxing
entities. As with any house-
hold budget, it is important to
build an emergency reserve to
cover unexpected and unbud-
geted events.
I am seeking this office be-
cause: I decided to seek public
office not for myself, but so I
could contribute to the good of
our county. When I first started
making contacts in Columbus,
I was asked, Where is
Paulding County? Because of
the work I have accomplished
and the contacts I have made, I
am now asked, Whats new
in Paulding County and how
can I help? I never want our
county to settle for what is left-
over. I want us to be in the
front of the line. Please visit
my Facebook page, Re-Elect
Fred Pieper for Paulding
County Commissioner, for
more information.
What qualifies you to run
for this office? I am a current
county commissioner with al-
most 3-1/2 years experience. I
have spent many hours in
Columbus representing
Paulding County interests. I
have twice testified before the
Senate Government Oversight
and Reform Committee and
the Gaming Commission and
am knowledgeable of govern-
ment policies and procedures.
If elected, will you serve full
time or part time, and why?
It varies depending on the
work load.
How are you involved in the
community? Ohio Advisory
Council for Aging (Governor
appointed); Senior Center
Board Member; Office on
Aging (Toledo); member of
the Paulding Fish and Club
and the Antwerp Conservation
Club; still project judge for
Junior Fair 4-H youth; past
volunteer for United Way and
Relay For Life; past-chairman
of the Republican Central
Committee; 20-plus year
member of the local
Republican Party; lifelong
member of the United

choir
My background: 1974 grad-
uate of PHS; BA from
Anderson University; MBA

this time are: Planning for the
future, economic growth,
strengthening of county agen-
cies, public trust, and commu-
nication.
dressed immediately? Public
trust, an issue I have heard for
the past two years. I feel past
issues and actions have left the
voters with uncertainty and
lack of trust for this office. I
am a firm believer that com-
munication is the very key in
creating this trust. Honesty
and being forthright with the
problem or issue creates a
trustful bond in problem solv-
ing. I intend on using informa-
tion gathered on an issue and
seeking ideas from the voters
on the direction they would
like to go forward. Keeping
the public informed by using
the newspaper as a positive
tool, instead being used as a
negative hammer.
elected: Creating trust with
the public. Being one who
communicates with agencies,
actively involved in communi-
ty, working with county agen-
cies, asking, What can I do to
help? Explore economic op-
portunities.
cause: I am very concerned
for the future of our villages,
towns, communities, and
county. Bold ideas and futuris-
tic plans for our future growth
should be more explored.
Plans for infrastructure and job
growth unearthed. In speaking
to different families across the
county, I come to realize my
question to them seems to be,
Where are your children and
grandchildren today? They
moved away for jobs!
for this office? I am currently
serving my fourth four-year
term as Jackson Township
trustee. Budgeting, grant writ-
ing, road construction, honesty
and communication with
township residence have got-
ten me a lot of experience.
Being a teacher for 11 years
and business owner for 20
years have gotten me a better
understanding of the needs
and ideas of others. Also being
gained is a respect for other
peoples thoughts and ideas.
I always felt that this position
was and should be a full-time
job. As a trustee, I am on call
24-7. The voters deserve
someone who is actively in-
volved with the issues of the
county.
community? I do a lot of vol-
unteer work that I really want
to remain as a silent, behind-
the-scenes person. But, I vol-
unteer in the annual crippled
childrens basketball
marathon. This was my 34th
year. Cemetery research for
our countys war veterans has
been an ongoing project. The
support of 4-H programs. A
strong supporter of area
schools intervention pro-
grams.
My background: I am cur-
rently employed by the
Paulding Soil and Water
Conservation District as an ed-
ucation specialist and caretak-
er of the Black Swamp Nature
Center. I have raised a lot of
funding for the improvements
through grants and private do-
nations. I am also a business
owner for over 20 years.
Decks-n-Place has provided
services for 11 counties in
Ohio, two in Michigan, and
three in Indiana. I graduated
from Defiance College in
1999 with a bachelor of sci-
ence degree in education while
majoring in history and com-
prehensive social studies. I re-
ceived my masters in educa-
tion from Defiance College in
2012. I taught in the classroom
for 11 years and have been a
Jackson Township trustee for
the past 14 years.
Additional comments: Your
support for me in the May pri-
mary is a vote for a new be-
ginning in creating trust, com-
munication, strengthening our
county agencies, and planning
for the future.

this time are: The most im-
portant issues connected to the
office at this time are to see
that each individual section of
the county offices are run in a
cost effective and efficient
manner to better serve the citi-
zens of the county.
dressed immediately? I am
unaware of any immediate is-
sues at this point in time, but
would address them in a pro-
fessional manor. To solve fu-
ture issues, I would speak to
the person/persons involved,
get their input, and proceed
with the matter fairly.
elected: I currently have no
plans to reinvent the wheel in
the current office. I will use
my common sense and my
past education and experience
to run the county office as ef-
fectively as possible with the
resources available.
cause: I feel I am widely
available to the community;
with my knowledge and ex-
pertise of Paulding County. I
will respectfully budget the
expenses in the best way I
know how and will seek ques-
tions if I have any. I feel I am
friendly and personable for a
position of this matter.
for this office? As someone
who has worked with the
county my whole life, I be-
lieve I have utmost knowledge
of the community. I know
what is expected of the office
and I believe I can provide
that. I realize what I will need
to do in order to provide the
greatest outcome of arising is-
sues.
I will spend as much time as
needed to ensure duties are
being completed on task and
on time. I will serve time need-
ed to discuss and or resolve
county issues.
community? I am a member
if Divine Mercy Church and
also a member of the
American Legion.
My background: I am cur-
rently a part of the Paulding
school board of education. I
am also currently an employee
at Burkley Auto Parts in
Paulding. I am a previous em-
ployee for Harrison Township
trustees, and a previous mem-
ber of Payne Village Council. I
am retired from the Paulding
County Sheriffs office, where
I was a sheriffs deputy.
provement, added Zartman.
Commissioner Fred Pieper
said that he had asked Shaffer
to bring information to the
board several months ago that
could lead to the purchase of
an improved EMA vehicle.
I hope your minutes reflect
that when I brought up the
new vehicle, Tony (Zartman)
said that we are not dealing
with that vehicle right now,
said Shaffer.
I had asked for informa-
tion, responded Pieper.
Shaffer said that he had be-
come encumbered in adminis-
trative duties because commis-
sioners had not given him the
administrative help he request-
ed in December.
This is April; you people
are still dragging your feet on
this, Shaffer said.
Zartman said that the board
had been reluctant to give
Shaffer someone to help man-
age his affairs when he could-
nt manage his own time.
At this point in time, we
dont see how you could ever
overcome the obstacles before
us, said Zartman. Its some-
thing we dont relish. We have
had discussion every day on
this.
Shaffer said that he was sur-
prised that commissioners
were going to get rid of him
before doing a drill.
You are probably going to
lose $20,000 doing this,
Shaffer said.
Because you didnt do it
the last 12 years, dont pin this
on us, responded Pieper.
Zartman said that the next
step would be to file a report of
the meeting with the regional
EMA director who would
oversee a temporary replace-
ment until the position can be
permanently filled.
In addition, said the com-
missioner, Paulding County
has a reciprocal agreement
with surrounding counties in
the event of an emergency.
We will be looking for
someone who is very efficient
and confident in what they are
doing, said Zartman. At this
point we are going to be look-
ing at all possibilities. We will
be under the advisement of our
regional EMA director.

The Amish Cook
By: Lovina Eicher
Daughter Verena and I have
been cleaning out the kitchen
cabinets. Things seem to accu-
mulate and get disorganized
from one cleaning to the next. It
will be so relaxing once every-
thing is cleaned for the upcom-
ing church services we will host
here soon. My sewing is getting
pushed back again. Hopefully it
can wait until the garden is
planted, but all that depends on
the weather.
Sunday, my sisters Susan and
Verena invited Jacob, Emma,
and family and our family for
dinner. They had a delicious
meal. On the menu was a
haystack, which is layering
foods on top of each other on
your plate, usually foods such as
crushed Doritos, crushed saltine
crackers, taco-seasoned ham-
burger, lettuce, tomatoes, green
peppers, hot peppers, onions,
spaghetti, cheese sauce, salsa
and ranch dressing. For dessert
there was cinnamon rolls,
Reeses pudding, ice cream,
peanut butter bars, finger jello,
cottage cheese dessert. Home-
made bread, butter, and jam
were also on the menu
The men and boys spent the
afternoon playing croquet and
taking advantage of the nice
weather. The rest of us visited
and looked through the new
cookbook sisters Verena and
Susan put together and self-
April is here, bringing us
warmer temperatures. Monday
was nice and warm. We hung all
the laundry outside on the lines.
By evening all of it was dry.
How nice to be able to wash the
clothes and put them away the
same day. It is laundry day
again today but it doesnt look
like we will be able to hang the
clothes outside. It is rainy and
very windy. Im wondering if
we could have a thunderstorm
yet today. The frost in the
ground is leaving more every
day so hopefully it will be okay
to get some early garden planted
a few weeks from now. Time
will tell if the winter weather is
over with.
The excitement last night was
that daughter Susans pony,
Roxie, gave birth to a cute little
foal. Susan is still undecided
what to name him. Daughter
Elizabeths friend, Timothy, had
his second horse give birth to a
foal this week. He has another
horse that should deliver soon.
He has some frisky little foals
running around on nice days
outside.
Susan spent Tuesday evening
at her friend Moses house.
Moses sister, Marilyn, and
some of her children were visit-
ing from Iowa. Most of Moses
family gathered at their parents
house so they could all get to
visit with her.
published. They gave each of us
one and all the children one too.
The recipes they gathered from
our family members makes it
very interesting. They have lots
and lots of boxes of them they
want to sell in stores.
The Reeses pudding recipe I
made to take along Sunday was
in that cookbook. I will share it
with you readers.
REESES PUDDING
1 cup powdered sugar
1/3 cup peanut butter
8 ounces cream cheese
3 cups whipped cream
3 cups milk
1 4-ounce instant chocolate
pudding
1 4-ounce instant vanilla pud-
ding
2 to 3 cups crushed graham
crackers
1/2 cup melted margarine or
butter
8 ounces whipped topping to
put on top
Reeses cups for garnish
In a 9x13-inch pan, prepare a
graham cracker crust by pour-
ing the melted margarine over
the graham crackers in the pan,
pressing down. Mix powdered
sugar, cream cheese, peanut
butter, and whipped cream and
pour on top of crust. Mix milk
and puddings and pour over
cream cheese mixture. Top with
more whipped cream and gar-
nish with Reeses cups.

Being proud of
our Paulding
County youth
Dear Editor,
Every school district in
Paulding County has some
great youth but often fail to
be recognized as indeed they
should. The latest example
was demonstrated on Satur-
day, April 12, when the
Wayne Trace National
Honor Society sponsored a
5K run/1 mile walk to bene-
fit a former Wayne Trace
graduate who is battling
some serious health issues.
These students, along with
their advisers, organized and
implemented this wonderful
event. They had several hun-
dred participants and raised
several thousand dollars.
It matters not if you are in
the Antwerp, Paulding or
Wayne Trace school district,
you have some GREAT

young people which you

can, and am sure are, very
proud of.
At times some students
will make poor decisions,
but havent we all. Rest as-
sured that the positive im-
pact that young people make
in your communities far su-
persedes that of the negativ-
ity. They deserve your
continued encouragement,

In this particular instance
it is the Wayne Trace Na-

Absolutely
amazing
Dear Editor,
The 36th annual Paulding
County Society for Crippled
Children and Adults 24 Hour
Charity Basketball Marathon
is upon us and the 116 teams
scheduled to play Easter
weekend in Payne are sure
to please you and your read-
ers.
Play will commence on
Good Friday at 3 p.m. and
run nonstop through Satur-
day evening with closing
ceremonies scheduled for
8:30 p.m.
At 5:30 p.m. Friday, the
exhibition game between the
state-ranked powerhouse PC
Tigers and Clear Channel
Radio will take place. This is
an action-packed, must-see
game.
It is absolutely amazing
that once again, the commit-
tee obtained 116, $100 team
sponsorships from around
the community especially
when you consider how bru-
tal (and expensive!) winter
was. The generosity contin-
ues to simply amaze me.
Each year, this all-volun-
teer organization and its ded-
icated and selfless basketball
marathon committee raise
more than $10,000 for the
express purpose of helping
individuals and families in
Paulding County with med-
ical expenses such as physi-
cal and occupational therapy,
speech therapy, handicap
programs, appliances such as
wheelchairs, braces and
much more. Applications for
this assistance are readily
available from any board
member.
This years basketball
marathon committee mem-
bers include Chad Ben-
schneider, John Claymiller,
Chad Cluts, Jeremy Dunder-
man, Doug Etzler, Allyssa
Jackson, Adam Taylor, Brian
Vest, Krystal Wannemacher,
Kaleigh Young, Jennifer
Zartman, Rylee Zartman and
Russ Zinser.
Hats off, too, to the many
volunteers of the Crippled
Children and Adult Society
Organization who provide
tremendous behind-the-
scenes support to the
marathon committee at this
event along with the conces-
sion stand and clock work-
ers, referees, door
volunteers, folks who do the
clean-up afterwards, Wayne
Trace Payne Elementary
Staff, etc. etc. etc. A big
giant thank-you!
Happy Easter! Absolutely
amazing!

with two pulmonary emboli (PE). Te Holy Spirit instructed
Pastor Dwayne to pray boldly over Tammy on Wednesday that the

Tammy appeared healthy in church on Sunday. To God be the glory.

Savannah and Stephanie Habern celebrating Paulding Middle School Library.
National Library
Week is April 13-19
Has a library changed your
life? Have you borrowed a
book or movie that had a sig-
nificant impact for you? The
week of April 13 is National
Library Week. Paulding Ex-
empted Village School stu-
dents are celebrating how
libraries have changed their
lives.
Libraries today are more
than repositories for books
and other resources. Libraries
are often the hearts of their
schools and community by
providing books, magazines,
e-books and computer access.
Most libraries offer materials
for English-language learn-
ers, programs for job seekers,
homework help, and materi-
als to support early literacy.
Librarians listen to the com-
munity they serve, and work
to provide those resources
through the library collection
or interlibrary loan.
Service to the community
has always been the focus of
the library. While this aspect
has never changed, libraries
have grown and evolved in
how they provide for the
needs of their users.
The media centers provide
a variety of books, audio
books, computers, and Inter-
net access to e-books, videos,
and electronic databases. Stu-
dents come to the library to
read, work on homework, or
go online.
Paulding Middle and High
schools, Paulding Elementary
and Oakwood Elementary li-
braries are celebrating Na-
tional Library Week by
allowing students an opportu-
nity to share how libraries
have changed their lives.
Check the school Media Cen-
ter website for updated pho-
tos; go to
www.pauldingschools.org,
click on Departments and
choose Media Center.
National Library Week is
sponsored by the American
Library Association (ALA).

TAGGING COMPLETED; FAIR COUNTDOWN BEGINS On April 5 at the Paulding County Fair-
grounds, animals were tagged for the 2014 Paulding County Fair. Even though the weather was
cold, the junior fair exhibitors turned out to have numerous animals tagged for the upcoming
fair. Animals that were tagged included swine, goats, sheep, dairy feeders and beef feeders. Here,
Ezra Sinn leads his dairy feeder back to the trailer. Helping him are his brother, Daniel Sinn, and
junior fair board member Bailey Zeller. The Paulding County Fair is the first fair in Ohio, June 9-
14. This years fair theme is Barn to be Wild. The junior fair exhibitors are excited for another
great fair season of showing their animals and hanging out with their friends at the fair. Please
come out and see the livestock during the fair.

LOOK IN THE BIBLE
I was raised in a home
where Bible reading and
teaching was a part of our
every day routine. Lots of
times in the evenings, we sit
in a circle listening to
Grandma read the scriptures.
So many of those Bible sto-
ries and scriptures have not
only stuck with me, but they
have been my rock and sup-
port through the years.
There is always some type
of program on television
which tries to discredit bibli-
cal teachings. They debate the
validity of Noah and the ark;
the parting of the Red Sea;
David killing Goliath and
now they are even speculat-
ing that Jesus was married.
I believe the Bible as writ-
ten and have never doubted it.
As I was looking up some
different biblical events on
the Internet, I was pleasantly
surprised to find out there are
quite a few interesting facts
about the Bible that maybe
my Grandma didnt even
know.
Did you know that the
word Bible is derived from
the Greek work bibla,
which translates to books.
The term is accurate. Al-
though the Bible is presented
as a single text, it is actually
a collection of 66 different
books.
Have you ever read clear
through the Bible? It is re-
ported that it would take you
approximately 70 hours to get
through the 773,692 words in
the book and the 1,189 chap-
ters.
The Bible is chockfull of
fascinating people. One was
King Solomon who was defi-
nitely a busy man. According
to Bible accounts, he played
host to 700 wives and over
300 concubines. Now, I al-
ways thought that Solomon
was also the wisest person.....
We talk about being as old
as Methuselah, who lived to
be 969. He is said to have
died seven days before the
great flood. It has further
been said that God delayed
the flood to allow for seven
days of mourning.
I have always wondered
how men lived for so many
years in biblical times. Was it
because the world wasnt that
old or did they count years
different than we do today?
Can you imagine how
Gideon fought off 135,000
Midianites invaders with only
an army of 300 men and 300
trumpets?
In his book, Isaiah offered
the most accurate predica-
tions about Jesus. He made
20 predictions, and they all
turned out to be true.
Many number patterns in
the Bible are also significant.
Be Not Afraid is a well-
known Christian hymn in-
spired by an oft repeated
phrase in the Bible. Did you
know that Do not be afraid
A Penny For
Your Thoughts....
By: Nancy Whitaker
is repeated 365 times in the
Bible, which is the same
number of days in a year?
The number seven has par-
ticular significance in the
Bible and is usually used a
symbol of completion. This is
the source of the idea that
seven is a lucky number.
The number 40 is also sym-
bolic in the Bible. Forty is
normally associated with the
dawn of a new era. Jesus
fasted for 40 days in the
desert, it rained for 40 days in
the great flood, spies were in
Canaan for 40 days and Nin-
eveh was warned by Jonah
for 40 days.
I did not know this either,
but the first animal to get off
Noahs ark after the flood was
the raven. Also the first book
of the Bible features a serpent
tempting Eve and the last
book of Bible refers to the
serpent as Satan.
We read about Bible days
and the great miracles that
took place back then. Now,
whether we realize it or not,
miracles are still happening
every day, but sometimes we
just dont see them until they
happen.
Have you ever read the
whole Bible? If you have,
how long did it take you? Do
you recall hearing any of the
great biblical stories in Sun-
day school or Bible school?
Let me know and Ill give
you a Penny for Your
Thoughts.

Invisible Fence Brand Containment Solutions presented the Oakwood Fire and EMS with two
sets of pet oxygen masks on Saturday, April 5 at the Oakwood Fire Station. Here, Jackson Keller,
a second grader at Oakwood Elementary, demonstrates the pet mask on the Oakwood depart-
ments mascot. Invisible Fence also presented an animal rescue oxygen kit to Paulding Commu-
nity Fire Association on Saturday. The donation of these specially designed and potentially
lifesaving animal oxygen mask sets enables rescue squads to efficiently administer oxygen to a
stricken animal. These masks truly are blessings for the Paulding area, said firefighter Jason
Germann. Weve seen residents run back into burning homes to save a pet. Its understandable,
but extremely dangerous. These masks will give residents comfort in knowing that we can save
their pets if they are suffering from smoke inhalation. For more information on the project, visit
www.invisiblefence.com/O2.

Cover up with cover crops
By Mark Holtsberry
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
Cover crops have been enjoying a national re-
discovery in the past few years. Healthy plants
hold valuable soil in place. Cover crops are plants
seeded into the soil in agricultural fields and gar-
dens, either within or outside of the regular grow-
ing season, with the primary purpose of
improving soil health. Cover crops are unique in
that most are planted primarily to boost soil health
and not for their seed, fruit, or forage.
Why plant cover crops? Cover crops can pro-
vide several important benefits by:
Reducing wind and water erosion
Adding soil organic matter
Improving soil water holding capacity
Nourishing beneficial soil microbes along
with micro-and macro invertebrates
Reducing soil compaction
Combating weeds
Adding nitrogen (leguminous cover crops)
Breaking disease cycles
Attracting honey bees and other beneficial in-
sects
Trapping excess nutrients.
Cover crops are typically planted in late sum-
mer or fall around harvest or before spring plant-
ing of the following years crops. Ideally cover
crops need 30 to 40 days of good growth before
the first hard frost. For farmers busy with har-
vesting, aerial application may be used to seed
cover crops into standing soybeans and corn.
There are many options from which to choose
such as rye, spelt, wheat, oats, clovers, winter
pea, buckwheat, and radishes, just to name a few.
Planting several cover crop species together in
a mixture can increase their positive impact on
soil health. Whether you farm 1,000 acres or
have a 1,000-square-foot garden, cover crops can
enhance your soil. For homeowners, consider
native plants that are adapted to Ohios variable
weather and have great rooting depth. Happy
planting!

WT takes advantage of errors for victory
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
HAVILAND For the first time this
season, the Wayne Trace varsity soft-
ball team trailed when Hicksville
jumped in front in the opening inning
of Fridays non-league contest.
However, the Lady Raiders an-
swered each time the Aces challenged
and took the lead midway through the
game en route to a 5-3 victory.
The Aces went to work early as they
jumped on the scoreboard first.
Dominique Tonneas singled to open
the game before a sacrifice bunt by
Carli Ayers moved Tonneas to second.
Allison Brickel then followed with a
run-scoring single to right field that
plated Tonneas and give the visitors a
1-0 advantage.
After a double by Michaela Bauer
put runners on second and third,
Wayne Trace escaped without further
damage as Gabbie Gillespie struck out
and Jessica Morgan flew out.
They came out aggressive and did
a good job of hitting tonight, noted
Raider head coach Jack Baumle.
The Raiders would answer in their
half of the first.
With one out, Mackenzie Swary
reached on a bunt single but was forced
at second on an Emilie Linder ground
ball. However, Linder came around to
score as Molly Crosby hit a fly ball to
left center that was misplayed by the
Aces to make it 1-1.
It was good to see us come right
back after they went in front, contin-
ued the Raider mentor. It was the first
time this season we have been behind
so I thought the girls did a good job of
answering there.
Hicksville went back in front in the
second.
Ashtyn Bauer started the inning with
a single and moved to second on a
groundout by Samantha Sell. Bauer
then advanced to third on a wild pitch
before a sacrifice fly by Abbey Shock
made it 2-1 Aces.
Wayne Trace evened the contest at
2-2 in the third.
Addison Baumle reached second on
a Hicksville throwing error to start the
inning and took third on a passed ball.
Aces pitcher Alexa Monroe struck out
Swary and Linder but Crosby singled
to center to score Baumle with the
tying run.
The red, white and blue then took
the lead for good in the fourth. Libby
Stabler reached on a walk to begin the
frame and moved to second on a Bai-
ley Bergman single. With one out,
Brenda Feasby was safe after a
Hicksville error to load the bases.
Baumle then hit a sacrifice fly to
center to plate Stabler and give Wayne
Trace a 3-2 advantage.
We were able to get some stops and
then we manufactured a run to get the
lead, Baumle said.
Raider hurler Molly Crosby set the
Aces down in order in the top of the
fifth and the offense responded with
two more runs in the home half.
Linder started the inning with a
home run to stretch the margin to 4-2
but the red, white and blue wasnt
done.
After Crosby popped out, back to
back singles from Carley Wright and
Stabler put runners on first and second.
Monroe got Berman to strike out but
Madison McClure followed with a sin-
gle to score Sydney Critten, who had
run for Wright, to make it 5-2.
Those were two big runs, noted
the Raider head coach. It gave us a lit-
tle bit of breathing room and became a
big factor there when they came up in
the last inning.
Hicksville would make things inter-
esting in the seventh, however.
Down 0-2 in the count, the Aces
Jessica Morgan battled for an 11-pitch
at-bat that ended with a single to center
field. Ashtyn Bauer was hit by a pitch
and Samantha Sell reached on an error
to load the bases with no out.
Shock then followed with a single to
left to keep the bases loaded and score
Jamie Hablawetz, who was a pinch-
runner for Morgan.
Tonneas followed with a ground ball
to Baumle at second base, who pro-
ceeded to force out Bauer at the plate.
Crosby then got Carlie Ayers to pop out
and Allison Brickel to ground out as
the Raiders held on for the victory.
We needed a game like that, con-
cluded Baumle. It put us in a little
more of a pressure situation that we
hadnt seen yet this year so to go
through it will help us.
Shock drove in a pair of runs to
lead the Aces offense, adding a sin-
gle. Tonneas and Ashtyn Bauer each
had a pair of singles for Hicksville
with Morgan and Brickel picking up
a single each. Michaela Bauer
posted a double and a single for the
visitors.
Monroe took the loss, allowing
eight hits and one walk while fan-
ning three Raiders. Three of Wayne
Traces runs were unearned.
Crosby picked up the victory for
the Raiders, giving up nine hits and
three earned runs while striking out
six.
Bergman was the only Raider
posting multiple hits, getting two
singles. Swary (single), Linder
(home run), Crosby (single), Wright
(single), Stabler (single) and Mc-
Clure (single) each had one hit for
the red, white and blue.

in the Great Eight Tournament
at Ayersville High School on
Saturday as the Raiders posted

ersville around a loss to Defi-
ance.
Addison Baumle struck out
15 Indian hitters and the Raiders
scored in the bottom of the ninth
for a 1-0 victory over Wauseon
in the opener.
Against the Bulldogs, Libby
Stabler had three singles and a
double but it wasnt enough as
Defiance posted a 6-4 victory.
Baumle suffered the loss for
the Raiders on the hill as Defi-
ance scored twice in the third
and four in the fifth. Wayne

Bad start dooms Archer diamondmen
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
ROCKFORD Parkway took advantage
of three Antwerp errors in the first inning to
plate three runs and the Panthers went on
from there to post a 4-1 victory over the vis-
iting Archers in non-league baseball action
Tuesday afternoon.
It was a disappointing start for Antwerp
head coach Zac Feasby, who felt the
Archers showed improvement otherwise
from a loss in their opener.
We got off to a bad start again and that
was the same thing we did last week, noted
the Archer head coach. I thought after that
first inning that we did a lot of good things
and we showed a lot of improvement. But
we have to keep teams off the scoreboard in
that first inning and not dig ourselves into a
hole.
Parkway took advantage of a trio of
Archer mistakes in the opening frame to
grab control.
Cody Depweg reached via an Archer
error to start the inning before stealing sec-
ond on the first pitch to Austin Dennison.
After Antwerp pitcher Joe Buerkle got Den-
nison to fly out, a single by Austin Adams
plated Depweg for a 1-0 Panther advantage.
Wyatt Felver was hit by a pitch to put run-
ners at first and second before both runners
advanced on a passed ball. With one out and
runners at second and third, Brandon Gib-
son reached on an Antwerp error that also
plated Adams and moved Felver to third.
Leading 2-0, the Panthers would benefit
from another Archer error.
Gibson took off for second before
Buerkles pitch and the pickoff attempt by
the Antwerp hurler sailed into center field,
scoring Felver.
Gibson then advanced to third and tried
to score as the throw got away from Archer
third baseman Tyler Messman. However,
Messman hustled down the errant throw
and tossed a strike to catcher Jeffrey Cole-
man to nab Gibson at the plate.
The damage was done, though, with
Parkway posting a 3-0 lead after one inning.
We cant dig holes like we did again
tonight against good baseball teams, com-
mented Feasby.
Gibson was the benefactor on the mound
for Parkway.
Following a game-opening walk to Jus-
tice Clark, the Panther hurler retired ten
straight Antwerp hitters before allowing a
walk to Trenton Copsey in the fourth.
Their pitcher did a nice job tonight,
noted Feasby. We struggled offensively a
year ago as well and we did again tonight.
Messman followed the Copsey walk by
reaching on a Parkway error to put runners
at first and second for Antwerp with two
outs. However, Gibson fanned Coleman to
end the Archer threat.
Antwerp did get on the scoreboard in the
sixth.
With two outs, Derek Smalley doubled
and Copsey followed with a run-scoring
single to get the Archers within 3-1.
Gibson then got out of the inning without
any further damage as Messman grounded
out to short.
Parkway answered in the home half of
the sixth.
Adams opened the inning with a walk be-
fore Felver was hit by a pitch for the second
time on the night. Gibson then reached on a
walk as well, ending Buerkles night on the
hill.
Messman took the hill for the Archers,
striking out Hayden Abromovich for the
first out. Jensen Riley reached on a fielders
choice that plated Adams to set the mar-
gin at 4-1.
The Archers threatened for the final
time in the seventh.
With one out, Matt Reinhart walked
and Collin Perry was hit by a pitch to put
runners at first and second. However,
Gibson settled down and struck out
Buerkle and Michael Taylor to end the
contest.
I am pleased with the improvement
we saw tonight, Feasby concluded. We
have to continue to get better.
Gibson finished the night striking out
a dozen Archer hitters while walking
three and allowing two hits. Depweg hit
a double and Adams added a single for
the lone Parkway hits.
Buerkle took the loss, allowing two
hits and four walks with two strikeouts
in five innings of work.
Smalley, a double, and Copsey, a sin-
gle, picked up the lone Antwerp hits.
WAYNE TRACE 4, LINCOLNVIEW 2
W.TRACE 8, LINCOLNVIEW 6
Wayne Trace swept past
Lincolnview in action on Sat-
urday as the Raiders posted a
4-2 win in nine innings to
capture game one before de-
feating the Lancers 8-6 in the
second contest.
After each team scored in
the first inning of the opener,
Lincolnview grabbed a 2-1
advantage with a run in the
home half of the sixth. How-
ever, the Raiders answered
with a single run in the top of
the seventh to send the game
into extra innings.
Wayne Trace then scored
twice in the top of the ninth to
pick up the 4-2 victory.
Blaine Jerome got the vic-
tory for the Raiders on the
hill, tossing three innings
while allowing two hits and a
walk with one strikeout. Mar-
cus McVay pitched the first
six frames, giving up five hits
and a walk while fanning
seven.
Grant Gillett had a double
to lead the Raider offense.
Darian Asher, Austin Fast,
Colby Speice, Noah Stoller
and Aaron Stoller each added
a single for Wayne Trace.
Wayne Trace outscored the
Lancers 8-6 in the nightcap as
Aaron Stoller picked up the
win on the mound. Stoller
tossed five innings, striking
out seven while giving up
four hits and two walks.
Austin Winebrenner al-
lowed three walks and a hit
with three strikeouts in two
innings of work.
McVay and Speice each
had two hits for the red, white
and blue while Asher, Noah
Stoller, Aaron Stoller, Wine-
brenner and Jerome all added
a hit as well.
EDGERTON 15, W. TRACE 1
Edgerton rolled to a 15-1
win over Wayne Trace in the
Green Meadows Conference
opener for both schools.
The Bulldogs scored one in
the first before plating four
runs each in the second and
third innings. Edgerton then
added five more in the fourth
and one in the fifth to finish
the scoring.
Denver Burkley suffered
the loss for the Raiders, giv-
ing up three hits and five runs
while walking two. Alex
Michael and Braden Hicks
combined to toss a no-hitter
for the Bulldogs.

Team MAC wins Paulding
Kiwanis basketball tourney
ANTWERP Team MAC won both the sixth
grade boys and girls divisions in the Paulding
Kiwanis basketball tournament. Games were
hosted last weekend at The MAC and Antwerp
Local School. Twenty-three teams participated
in varsity boys, junior high boys, and sixth grade
boys and girls divisions.
The sixth grade boys team won the first com-
pleted tournament last Saturday. Team MAC
won its first game against a Fort Wayne Legit
team, only to lose game two to a solid Lima
Shawnee team. Team MAC then needed to win
four consecutive games to take on the Shawnee
team again in the finals.
The outcome this time was different. Team
MAC took an early lead and coasted to a 51-34
win.
Local players Nathan Gerber (Wayne Trace)
scored 14, and Jayvin Landers (Antwerp) scored
seven. Team MAC finished 6-1 on the day.
The sixth grade girls Team MAC took a dif-
ferent route, winning in their first round game
against the Indiana Stars of the Portland, Ind.
area, and second round game against Fort Wayne
Legit. Legit came back through the losers
bracket to make it a great finals game, but Team
MAC went 3-0 on the weekend, prevailing 24-
22.
Addie Bayman (Woodlan) scored nine in the
championship game for Team MAC and post
player Madison Johnson (Fairview) scored five.
Ballistics, a varsity boys team from the Port
Clinton area, defeated Fort Wayne Legit in the
finals, and NWO Eagles from the Perrysburg
area defeated Fort Wayne Legit in overtime in
the junior high boys division on Saturday.
The Paulding Kiwanis tournament was the
seventh and final basketball tournament of the
2013-14 school year at The MAC. Ironically, the
season began in November with the Kiwanis
Preseason Tournament.
Summer leagues and tournaments will begin
over Memorial Day weekend. For information
on junior high girls and boys, varsity girls, sixth
grade and under boys and adult basketball league

The Antwerp yearbook staff attended the Ohio Scholastic Media Association convention at Kent State University. Several stu-
dents received high marks for their presentations. From left are Mrs. Amy Sorrell, Nathan Hawley, Brittany Smith, Aaron Schneider,
Maddie Reinhart, Annie Miesle, Mikayla Boesch and Samantha Provines.
Antwerp yearbook staff places in state media convention
Seven members of the
Antwerp Archer yearbook
staff, along with yearbook ad-
viser Mrs. Amy Sorrell, trav-
eled to Kent State University
on April 4-5 to participate in
the Ohio Scholastic Media As-
sociation state convention.
The event brought about 375
high school journalism stu-
dents and their advisers for
learning sessions about jour-
nalism and digital media.
Newsroom and classroom pros
from the northeast Ohio area
and Pennsylvania and Indiana
presented more than 60 semi-
nars to help attendees improve
their publication by enhancing
their multimedia, design and
writing skills.
Archer yearbook editors
Maddie Reinhart, Aaron
Schneider, and Samantha
Provines presented a session to
other yearbook students on
chronological yearbooks, and
Mrs. Sorrell presented a ses-
sion on self-publishing. The
Archer yearbook self publishes
their yearbook and does not use
a yearbook company.
Students participated in on-
site contests on Friday. Nearly
100 students from around Ohio
participated in nine different
contests. The team of Maddie
Reinhart, Aaron Schneider, and
Samantha Provines placed
third in the Editors Challenge,
which required them to design
and edit four pages in two
hours.
At the banquet, OSMA
member schools received over-
all publications ratings certifi-
cates and individual certificates
and critiques in 56 pre-entered
categories. These had been
submitted in January and
largely out-of-state judges cri-
tiqued and provided ratings of
superior, excellent, honorable
mention or simply offered
strengths of the entry and areas
that could use improvement.
The Antwerp yearbook staff
earned the following awards.

with an overall rating of first
place for their 2012-2013 year-
book. They received an eight-
page critique to show the staff
possible ways to improve in the
future.
Adviser Amy Sorrell, who
was an adviser for six years in
Indiana before coming to
Antwerp, also was recently ac-
cepted as an OSMA board
member for Region 4, which
includes all of northwest Ohio.

Straight A fund gets schools,
businesses together at Vantage
By ED GEBERT
DHI Correspondent
VAN WERT Educators
and businesspeople came to-
gether April 8 at Vantage Ca-
reer Center to capitalize on
Straight A Grant funding won
by a consortium of Van Wert
and Paulding county entities
with the goal of teaming high
schoolers and recent gradu-
ates with local manufacturers
and businesses.
Around 60 people gathered
for roundtable discussions on
job and career readiness and
information on possible
methods of readying students
for available jobs in the area.
The symposium was pro-
posed as part of the Beyond
the Classroom, project.
This was one of the initia-
tives that the grant committee
had, and that was to have a
business symposium. This
brought together to school
districts that we included in
that grant and local business
and industry from both Van
Wert and Paulding counties,
explained Cindy Leis, the
community development di-
rector for Van Wert.
Businesses and teachers
were able to exchange infor-
mation which could prepare
students for work and to get
the business representatives
to offer positions that will ap-
peal to potential employees.
Leis said, What the teach-
ers are trying to do is to get
through to the students what
skills are needed to get either
an entry-level job at the busi-
nesses or go to college then
come back and see what kind
of positions are available
The business representatives
are trying to suggest what
teachers should be teaching
their students in an effort to
get them either job-ready or
career-ready.
Overall, the local consor-
tium won just over $1.57 mil-
lion through the Straight A
Grant program from the Ohio
Department of Education.
The consortium consisted of
the school districts of Pauld-
ing, Wayne Trace Crestview,
Lincolnview, Vantage Career
Center and Western Buckeye
ESC, as well as Northwest
Ohio Educational Technology
Foundation, Paulding County
Carnegie Library, Northwest
State Community College,
Paulding County Economic
Development, Van Wert Eco-
nomic Advisory Group, and
the Van Wert Area Chamber
of Commerce.
CHP announces annual

PAULDING Community
Health Professionals of Pauld-
ing will host its annual Spring

Boys will also be there.
Twenty-one years ago this
event was introduced to the

family members, friends and
maybe even a coworker or
two sharing their talent on
stage.
Tickets are $5 for adults
and children and can be pur-
chased at Community Health
Professionals at 250 Dooley
Drive, 419-399-4708 or at the

Oakwood Council plans
to get tough on junk
By BILL SHERRY
Correspondent
OAKWOOD At its regu-
lar meeting Monday, April
14, Oakwood Village Council
accepted the resignation of
Council President Todd Dan-
gler and also heard consider-
able concern over sites with
junk.
Dangler, who is moving to
Paulding, expressed thanks to
the village and the council
members for helping get
things done for the interest of
the Village of Oakwood.
Council members have
been in discussion with Kelly
Tumblin regarding complet-
ing Danglers term. Council
agreed to invite Tumblin to
the council meeting on April
28. Council agreed to vote on
a new council president and
Tumblin filling the vacant
seat at the next meeting.
Council discussed various
locations that have a substan-
tial collection of
garbage/junk. Council spent
time going over the entire tall
grass and garbage/junk ordi-
nance, then decided that the
ordinance is adequate, but
needs to be strictly enforced.
Council agreed to begin
strictly enforcing the ordi-
nance; as a result, several no-
tices will be going out to
village residents yet this
week.
It was noted that in the
past, several individuals had
been slow in responding to
the notice or completely ig-
nored it. This will not be tol-
erated in the future; when the
time limit has expired, the vil-
lage will take appropriate ac-
tion by putting the cost of
clearing garbage/junk or
mowing on the property tax
and/or a lien.
Kelly Tumblin has passed
out the income surveys to
each household in the village.
Council agreed to ask Tum-
blin for a bill or number of
hours spent in passing out the
survey and then decide at the
next meeting how to pay her
for the services.
The fire department has re-
instated the position of secre-
tary/treasurer. Since there
was nothing appropriated in
the 2014 budget, council
agreed to address the issue of
pay in their 2015 budget
meetings.
Mayor Erhard Bud
Henke informed council that
there was a problem with
PERS regarding council
being paid on a per-meeting
basis. Council accepted the
proposed change of a yearly
salary of $1,200 per year,
payable monthly. This would
be the same amount, but paid
in a different manner.
Council also voted to go
back to a one-meeting-per-
month schedule starting May
19. It was noted that there
may be some months requir-
ing two or more meetings be-
cause of specific activities.
The village went from one
meeting a month to two when
they started working on
bringing natural gas into the
village. These extra meetings
were necessary because of the
numerous presentations and
decisions necessary to estab-
lish a working natural gas
system. Henke noted that
since the gas system is now
operational, the village
should able to operate with
one meeting per month.
Village administrator John
Keyes told council that the
boat ramp has been cleared of
debris and a leak on Superior
Street has been repaired.
Council voted to award
Wagner Metals the job of put-
ting a new roof on the town
hall. The bid was for $6,300
for a metal roof. There was
one lower bid, but council de-
cided to award the bid to a
local business.
The next regular meeting
will be at 6:30 p.m. April 28.

Paulding County Progress to

Angels with names
appear at the right time
Every so often seeming
angels with names appear
at just the right time. The last
time this happened to me was
this past Saturday morning.
When I arrived for an Indiana
5K, parking lots were rapidly
filling up, so I joined several
other cars in a grassy area
right beside the parking lot.
I first realized that there
could be a problem when I
approached the grassy area
following the event and no-
ticed that two cars were stuck
and a third was churning
mightily in an attempt to spin
out of the wet quagmire
where we had parked.
My first thoughts were,
Surely not.
Unfortunately, when I
made my attempt to drive out
of the parking area, the re-
sponse was quickly, surely
so.
Like those around me, I
had a disheartened feeling in
my stomach and a self-in-
flicted sense of frustration
when I realized that I had
parked in a saturated plot of
turf. My front tires spun and
as I quickly buried my car
with the same fate of those
around me.
Presently, I got out of the
car and did what I so often do
in such sets of circumstances.
I walked back into the Well-
ness Pavilion and pretended
that none of this had hap-
pened. I visited with people
in hopes that the spring sun
would suddenly and quickly
dry out the ground and I
would walk back to the car
and miraculously drive away.
Unfortunately, none of the
miracle wishes helped, but as
I walked toward the parking
lot full of mired cars, some-
thing else special was hap-
pening. In fact, from the
distance, it almost looked like
an angel had arrived and was
taking care of all of the mired
cars.
The angel had a white
truck and was backing up to
each car, one by one, attach-
ing a long strap and was
pulling the cars out on to safe
driving grounds. Not wanting
to miss my turn, I nearly ran
to the grassy area as the angel
pulled out the car right beside
mine.
As I approached, he looked
at my Cardinal Ford and said,
Is that your car?
I affirmed and he very ca-
sually lined his truck with my
car and hooked it up. He
asked me to guide the vehicle
as he pulled.
Within minutes, we went
for the special ride and sud-
denly I was safely driving my
car on to the parking lot.
Ironically, the cluster of
those whose cars had been re-
moved were all waiting in the
parking lot to thank our angel.
It was then I learned that this
angels name was Greg
Steirs, a unique name for an
angel on assignment, such a
common name; you would
have almost thought he was a
human being.
Gregs wife had been one of
those who had been mired in
the wet ground. When he came
to pull her out, he graciously
pulled the rest of us out, one by
one. Ironically, our angel had a
business card, indicating that
he had driven from his home in
Alexandria, Ind. (home of
Gospel songwriter Bill
Gaither) to perform his an-
gelic task for the day.
As he refused payment for
his services and drove away, I
thought of the Bible verse, Do
not forget to show hospitality
to strangers, for by so doing,
some people have shown hos-
pitality to angels without
knowing it. Hebrews 13:2

Paulding native runs for re-election
PAULDING Fred Pieper,
current Paulding County com-
missioner, announces his cam-
paign for re-election.
He wants to continue the
work he has started during his
first term for the citizens of the
county.
Being a commissioner is an
honor for me, shares Pieper. I
am in the office many times per
week and on the phone daily
trying to improve our county
and make life safer for our citi-
zens.
Pieper serves on the boards of
Northwestern Ohio Community
Action Commission (NOCAC)
in Defiance, Area Office on
Aging in Toledo and was ap-
pointed by Governor Kasich to
serve on the Ohio Advisory
Council for Aging. While ac-
tively serving on these Boards,
Fred represents the best interests
of Paulding Countys citizens.
Testimony Pieper gave in
front of the Gaming Commis-
sion and the Senate Oversight
and Reform committees in
Columbus resulted in the pro-
curement of one-million dollars
from Racino revenues for
statewide distribution to county
fair harness race purses.
Commissioners work as a
team and at times there are dif-
ficult decisions that have to be
made, but the decisions are
made for the good of the entire
county in mind. Decisions made
by the Commissioners in the
past three years of my term have
resulted in better services and a
stronger county.
When I campaigned for my
first term I set goals that I would
work for transparency, advocate
for citizens and be a watchdog
for tax dollars. Unless the com-
missioners have to meet in ex-
ecutive session, all meetings are
open to the public. For the first
year, information was shared
via a local radio station. Cur-
rently, information about com-
missioner sessions is reported
online and via area newspapers.
I am also available five days a
week if a citizen wants to meet
with me at the courthouse or
anytime via my home phone
which is listed.
I have been an advocate for
the citizens of Paulding County
and continue to speak out for all
citizens but especially for our
senior population who are such
an important part of our lives
and communities. All of your
commissioners are watchdogs
for your tax money. We take our
jobs seriously, looking for the
best price, lowest and best bid
on projects and prudent expen-
ditures to make our county
strong.
His top three goals if elected
to a second term will be:
Upgrade the Paulding
County Sheriffs office radio
system in order that first respon-
ders will be able to reliably
communicate from anywhere in
the county. I have been working
daily with the Governors of-
fice, State Senators, State Rep-
resentatives, State Fire
Marshall, Multi-Agency Radio
Communication System
(MARCS) personnel and grant
providers to secure funding and
lobby for the discontinuing of
cost prohibitive monthly user
fees as an attached amendment
to House Bill 375. (Hopefully
this will be accomplished in
2014.)
Continue the restoration of
the courthouse in order to pro-
tect and preserve this historic
building by allocating tax dol-
lars wisely to assure availability
of funding.
Develop the US 127/US 24
interchange by working with
Jobs Ohio, the Governors office

I would like to continue the
work that I have started on be-
half of Paulding County and its
citizens. I have always kept the
best interest of the citizens in
mind with every decision I
make. I have worked hard to ad-
dress Paulding Countys needs
to lawmakers in Columbus and
have established beneficial
working relationships that will
provide better communication
for our countys needs.

Commissioners Journal
CommissionersJournal March 26, 2014
This 26th day of March, 2014, the Board
of County Commissioners met in regular
session with the following members
present: Roy Klopfenstein, Fred Pieper
and Nola Ginter, Clerk. Absent: Tony
Zartman.
MEETING NOTES OF APPOINT-
MENTS
Cindy Wilson, Office Solutions;
Robin Dobbelaere, Juvenile/Probate
Court Ms. Wilson presented quotes for
office furniture and filing cabinets for Ju-
venile/Probate Courts office area. The
plans allow for workstations for two
clerical employees, with a separate quote
for the filing area.
Al Griffiths met with the Commis-
sioners to discuss their plans for the two
lots next to the old jail. The Commis-
sioners had put the lots up for bid and re-
jected the bid they received last week.
Mr. Griffiths has an interest in the parcels
for parking purposes. He asked the
Commissioners to keep him in mind
should they chose to re-bid or lease the
properties.
Claudia Fickel, County Auditor, dis-
tributed the March Sales Tax Revenue
report and the General Fund Receipts
and Expenses reports for February. Sales
tax was up from February by $5,061.09;
and also up from the four-year average
(2010-13) by $19,576.93.
General Fund receipts were up from
January by $932,203.38 due to first half
tax settlement, which can occur either in
February or March. General Fund ex-
penses were down from January by
$6,190.99; however, up from last year
by $23,157.16 and also up from the four-
year average by $114,061.36.
Ms. Fickel noted postcards had been
sent to residents who purchased tags last
year and may have forgotten to get then
for 2014, which has triggered additional
sales.
She then reported the homestead ap-
plications will be accepted until June 2
and complaints against property tax cal-
culations are due to the Board of Revi-
sions by 4:30 p.m. on March 31. She
encouraged taxpayers to call her office
with any questions.
Ms. Fickel reminded the Commis-
sioners that Plattenburg CPA firm has
begun the audit process. She then dis-
cussed the status of the Courthouse inte-
rior painting project.
Liz Keel, MVPO, CHIP coordinator,
initiated an appointment with the Com-
missioners to discuss CHIP (Community
Housing Impact Program) with the
Commissioners. CHIP funds the im-
provement of homes for qualified home-
owners. The amount funded is a deferred
loan, which is forgivable over a several-
year period, provided the homeowners
remain in the home. At the end of the
designated period of time, a percentage
of the loan is recaptured from the home-
owners.
Ms. Keel presented a request for for-
giveness from homeowners who re-
cently divorced. The Commissioners
will consider the request and make a de-
cision at a later date.
Corey Walker, Defiance-Paulding
Counties Consolidated JFS, met briefly
with the Commissioners to update them
on the progress at the Paulding County
building on Dooley Drive. He also re-
ported on the current status of the One
Stop/Accent office.
Jeff Hollis, All Trades Historical
Restoration, and the Commissioners
spoke via telephone to exchange updates
on the Courthouse interior painting proj-
ect. Commissioner Klopfenstein noted
there are several items on a punch list
that would need attention. Mentioned
were: moving files and other office fur-
niture to paint the walls behind them;
protecting the flooring while moving
heavy objects; and the repair of the walls
before painting. Mr. Hollis agreed to
convey these concerns to his painting
project supervisor.

Pieper to go into executive session at

In The
Garden
Was your garden winter strong?
Gardening is an exercise in
patience. Ours has already
been tried for nearly the en-
tire year so far. So much of
gardening depends on the
weather and we know how
thats been.
Lots of snow to move,
school delays, cars that wont
start, spring that wont come.
Then it does and we go on
walkabout through the gar-
dens to assess the damage.
Before we can find out whats
made it and what hasnt, we
give ourselves the standard
pep talk to bolster our hopes.
This surely hasnt been the
first year that Mother Nature
played every winter card she
held, right? Since the begin-
ning of time, or at least the
era were currently living in,
once in a while she decides to
blow the precipitation out of
the pipes and tries to see how
low the mercury can go be-
fore she comes to her senses
and we lose ours.
The flora and fauna are
made to take this, right? They
wouldnt be growing and liv-
ing here if they werent and
with the exception of those
Zone 6 plants that the garden
centers tempted fate with last
spring, it will all be okay.
Wont it?
Maybe. I took that walk
through my garden last week,
on the first day that reached 70
in six months - a day when the
robins were playing catch-me-
if-you-can and the air smelled
like...well...spring. AND I
DIDNT HAVE TO WEAR A
COAT. Glory to be to God.
The ground was squishy
and I noted a lot of clean-up
to be done. But thats a job I
rather enjoy, because even
though Im exhausted when
its finally finished and my
muscles are screaming their
loudest, I can see where Ive
been, and what Ive done.
Theres something to show
for my efforts.
I had taken my pruners on
this walk and started by chop-
ping down some of the dead
grasses, patting myself on the
back for doing it before see-
ing significant growth, but
they were growing! I broke
off the Baptisia twigs and saw
the dark red nubs of new
shoots peeking through the
ground.
The crocus had been
blooming for a week or so
and the reticulated iris were
in full glory. Jetfire, that
spicy little Narcissus that
marks the beginning of daf-
fodil season in my garden,
was sticking its trumpet
tongues out at the world. Take
THAT, winter.
But never mind the spring
ephemerals. They are made to
take the cold. In fact, they
need it to keep going year
after year. Those poor people
in the south cant even grow
tulips, because their winters
dont get cold enough. So
what about the perennials?
Was winter too tough on
them?
Much remains to be seen,
but for the most part, its not
as bad as I expected, with the
exception of the roses. The
hybrids took a beating and
Im sure Ill give up and re-
move some of them, even
though theyre showing some
signs of life. Half a full-
grown rose bush isnt partic-
ularly attractive.
A few have already given
up the ghost entirely. But the
more tender Wingthorn rose
thats supposed to die back al-
most to the ground here is to-
tally and completely alive,
even though I forgot to wrap
it last fall. Go figure.
When I first started garden-
ing, I had to learn that some
things are late bloomers.
By that, I dont mean actual
blooms. Plants like Rose of
Sharon, hardy hibiscus, milk-
weed, balloon flower, hardy
plumbago, butterfly bush, and
ninebark can appear to be
dead while all around them
life goes on. But they just fol-
low a slightly delayed sched-
ule when it comes to waking
up in spring.
The next few weeks will
tell the story. Dont give up
hope too soon; plants are
tougher than we give them
credit for sometimes. If you
do lose a few things, you will
have learned whats truly
hardy and make different
choices when selecting their
replacements. And youll
have a good excuse to go
plant shopping!

Ohio Department of Commerce Director Andre
T. Porter urges Paulding County residents to join
in the 2014 Unclaimed Funds Treasure Hunt by
checking todays Paulding County Progress. By
checking the newspaper advertisement, readers
can find out if they are entitled to unclaimed funds
turned over to the Ohio Division of Unclaimed

Unclaimed funds are money or the rights to
money that have been dormant or forgotten. Some
common examples include: dormant checking
and savings accounts, forgotten rent and utility de-
posits, uncashed checks, undelivered stock certifi-
cates, and uncashed insurance policies.
The Department of Commerce Division of
Unclaimed Funds is committed to reuniting
Ohioans with their hard-earned money. Check the
Paulding County list to see if you, your family or
your friends have unclaimed funds, said Director
Porter. This money can help Ohioans buy a tank
of gas, pay off some bills, make a needed home
repair or even expand a business which means
jobs for Ohioans.
In Fiscal Year 2013, the Division paid 53,580
claims worth approximately $69.2 million. The
average claim was for $1,292.
The Paulding County advertisement will in-
clude 153 unclaimed funds accounts worth
$75,067.30. The advertised accounts, each valued
at $50 or more, were turned over to the Division
within the past year for individuals whose last
known address was in Paulding County. The ad-
vertised names will appear in alphabetical order by
the owners last known city and then in alphabet-
ical order by the owners last name.
A list of unclaimed funds accounts is available
on the Department of Commerces Online Treas-
ure Hunt website at www.unclaimedfundstrea-
surehunt.ohio.gov along with forms for individuals
and organizations to use in claiming their money.
Paulding County information for all accounts
(includes those being advertised and other ac-
counts):
Total number of Paulding County accounts:
4,314
Value of Paulding County accounts:
$394,247.50

Sherry uses rural experiences
to gain prestigious scholarship
BY JOE SHOUSE
Correspondent
BRICETON Wayne
Trace high school senior
Jared Sherry has been se-
lected to participate in The
Ohio State University Diver-
sity and Inclusion program.
Within the program, Sherry
will receive the prestigious
Morrill Scholars Program Ex-
cellence Scholarship. The
scholarship is an award that is
the value of instate tuition
and covers up to 18 hours per
semester.
Sherry, who carries a 4.0
GPA, will graduate next
month and will attend OSU
with plans to major in exer-
cise science. Sherry also
plans to attend graduate
school with an emphasis on
physical therapy.
The excellence scholarship
is awarded based on college
entrance test scores and a
500-word essay. The overall
subject matter of the essay
was that of campus diversity
or how diversity enriches the
campus lifestyle.
Sherry used two life expe-
riences to construct his essay
in order to highlight diversity
in a small rural area. One ex-
ample came as a result of
Sherrys girlfriend, Madison
McClure, and her family
hosting a foreign exchange
student from Germany a year
or so ago.
His name was Max
Schager from Munich, which
is a large city. Watching him
adjust to small-town living
and to see the challenges he
faced allowed me to look at
the world in a different per-
spective, said Sherry.
The second part of his
essay is the other side of the
coin, so to speak. For Sherry,
it is taking his newfound per-
spective that he discovered
through Schager and using it
toward his future commit-
ment to OSU.
The experience of a small
high school, a small commu-
nity like Briceton, and the
rural area like Paulding
County will be a challenge
when compared to a campus
like OSU and the surrounding
large city of Columbus. The
same diverse situation that
Schager experienced when
coming here will be my chal-
lenge in a few months, said
Sherry.
With a laugh he said, Its
going to be like a little fish in
a big pond.
Sherry is the son of Jim and
Bobbie Sherry from the
Briceton area. Jared has an
older brother, Jordan, who at-
tends Bowling Green State
University and a younger
brother, Jayden, a freshman at
Wayne Trace.
Besides playing football,
Jared is a member of the Na-
tional Honor Society, Student
Council, and Fellowship of
Christian Athletes. He also
works 20-25 hours a week at
the gas station in Payne.
Im really excited about
the scholarship. It will pay the
full cost of tuition for four
years. I am going to save a
ton of debt; maybe close to
$50,000, said Sherry.
There will be benefits
awarded to Sherry as a result
of the scholarship that will
allow him to do clinical re-
search under graduate re-
search. This is usually not
granted to freshman students.
Sherry also will be a part of
the graduate career develop-
ment program that helps stu-
dents development the
needed information towards
the acceptance to graduate
school.
Sherry is thankful for a
couple of people who encour-
aged and help him during the
scholarship application
process.
First of all I want to thank
Jonathan Harper, a close
friend, who first introduced
me to the scholarship and en-
couraged me to apply. Sec-
ondly, I am thankful for my
guidance counselor, Dave
Alt, who went through all the
draft stages of my essay. If it
wasnt for those two I would-
nt have received the scholar-
ship, said Sherry.
Jared Sherry will attend The
Ohio State University this fall.
The Wayne Trace senior re-
cently received a scholarship
that will pay four years of in
state tuition.
Grand jury indicts 9
Laura Woodcox (left) and Stephanie McCollough were named
Most Outstanding Staff at the 2014 Ohio Library Council NW
Chapter Conference.
Antwerp Branch Library
team wins stff award
ANTWERP The library
team at the Antwerp Branch
Library, a branch of the
Paulding County Carnegie
Library, has won an award for
being the Most Outstanding
Staff at the Ohio Library
Council Northwest Chapter
Conference.
The chapter conference,
held in Toledo, brings library
staff from public libraries
throughout 21 counties of
NW Ohio together for a day
of education and training.
The Give-A-Shout awards
are unique to the chapter and
provide an opportunity for li-
brary directors, boards, and
fellow employees to nomi-
nate team members and pro-
grams that are extraordinary.
The nominations submitted
by the Paulding County
Carnegie Library have either
won the top awards or been
recognized for the past three
years.
We are so proud of our en-
tire team, shares Susan
Pieper, library director. But,
our Antwerp team of Laura
Woodcox and Stephanie Mc-
Collough have consistently
displayed innovation and ini-
tiative, sometimes against
tough odds, in providing
quality and well-used library
services and programs.
The Antwerp team was rec-
ognized for their efforts in
new programming such as the
Cookbook Book Club, pro-
gramming for all ages, use of
space and general excellence
in delivering library service.
To read the entire nomina-
tion, visit the Antwerp
Branch Facebook page at
www.facebook.com/Antwerp-
BranchLibrary.
The Antwerp Branch Li-
brary was established in 1991
as the first branch of the Pauld-
ing County Carnegie Library
system. It remains the busiest
branch loaning over 27,000
items in 2013. Other library
nominations receiving recogni-
tion at the Give-a-Shout
awards include the childrens
room use of space for the Nev-
erland program and the adult
service department Holocaust
speaker event.
