Paulding’s plan for single bus routes moves forward
By STEVE MAJOR
Correspondent
PAULDING – The Paulding
Exempted Village Schools Board of
Education was further updated on
the proposed plan for the district to
run single bus routes next school
year.
If approved, this would mean that
all district schools would be on the
same schedule of 8 a.m. until 3 p.m.
so that the district may be able to
save money on transportation costs.
Superintendent Pat Ross reported
that later this month, a representa-
tive of the Ohio Department of
Education Transportation
Department will visit the school to
review the proposal.
“That person will look at our data
and spend time at the school exam-
ining the financial impact of chang-
ing from the double to single
routes,” said Ross. “With this assis-
tance, we hope to now make a deci-
sion by March.”
The final decision will be made
by the school’s administration, but
the board will be fully consulted and
informed.
The board decided to proceed
with development of a policy on
random drug tests for all students in
extracurricular activities.
“A representative from Great
Lakes Bio-Medical Services will
meet with the board at the March
meeting,” said Ross. “The goal is to
start the program next fall, so all of
the details have to be worked out yet
this school year.”
Those details include such issues
as when tests would be conducted,
how many students to test and what
substances to test for.
Ross reported to the board that the
Paulding Eagles donated $1,415 to
purchase an iPad and iPod Touches
for the high school and middle
school autism unit. Presently there
are four students in that unit and
there are similar units in the elemen-
tary schools.
The board approved issuing of
Energy Conservation Notes in the
amount not exceeding $587,206 for
purchasing and installing energy
conservation measures, as author-
ized by House Bill 264.
“This will allow us to put in place
changes for energy saving and the
improvements will pay for the in-
vestment,” explained Ross.
Improvements will include up-
grading the air handling units on the
high school that will improve cool-
ing and heating and installing high
efficiency lights.
Of the amount authorized by the
board Ross explained that $187,206
will come from the district’s capital
improvement fund. Thus only
$400,000 will need to be borrowed
from a commercial source for a five-
year period.
The board approved the resigna-
tion of two long-term employees for
the purpose of retirement. William
Wonders, middle school physical
education, and A. Jane Gudakunst,
high school teacher’s aide, will re-
tire at the end of the current school
year. Wonders has worked for the
district for over 35 years and
Gudakunst for 25 years.
“Both of these individuals have
been excellent employees for the
district,” said Ross. “They have
touched a lot of lives over the years
by being involved with so many
children.”
In other personnel actions, the
board approved Kyle Mawer and
John Weisenburger as volunteer as-
sistant baseball coaches and Bill
Voirol as volunteer assistant softball
coach.
The next regular monthly board
meeting will take place at 7 p.m. on
Monday, March 14.

more active.
“Upon looking further,
some of the other elements
we felt was a good fit for our
choice is the condition of the
building (the concrete sur-
face), the lack of obstructions
such as windows and pipes,
and the fund-raising effort
that we feel this building
would help bring.”
When the LIA members
considered what scenes to put
on the mural, they remem-
bered the core purposes of the
Marshall Memorial
Foundation and the history of
Paulding County. The four
mural scenes to be painted
will depict farming images
and represent historical views
on the canals, Fort Brown, the
Black Swamp, and the Flat
Rock Creek Festival/fair-
grounds, which are the per-
fect examples of the county’s
history.
The Leadership In Action
team wanted the design to re-
flect the community as well.
Their ideas were presented to
Sandy Dobbelaere, who cre-
ated the perfect design that
the group had envisioned.
Prior to painting the mural,
some repairs are needed on
the exterior wall by the
Marshall Memorial
Foundation.
Helle noted, “They are cur-
rently working on setting up
that project and the timing to
work with our time frame.”
A base primer will be ap-
plied. For the main portions
of the mural, house paint will
be used, with the exceptions
of the small details that will
require a more specific type
of paint. The entire mural will
then be coated with a sealant.
“As a group, we have
greatly enjoyed our time to-
gether working on this proj-
ect. We have really come to-
gether to work as a team and
it has been a great opportuni-
ty to work with other business
professionals throughout the
community. We have gotten
to know one another and
formed ties and connections
that will stick with us after
our program is complete,”
Helle added. “Watching the
progress and how the project
and team has come together
has been the most rewarding
and enjoyable experience so
far.”
For a mural this size, Sandy
Dobbelaere gave a “ballpark”
cost estimate without know-
ing the final detail of the de-
sign. The price will range
from $3,000 to $4,000. The
money will come from dona-
tions and/or funds and grants.
LIA has raised close to half of
the cost of the project and is
still seeking donations. They
all feel that the community ef-
fort so far has been great.
Donations may be sent to:
Arend, Laukhuf & Stoller
Inc.; Attn: Rachelle Farley,
LIA Project; P.O. Box 249;
Paulding OH 45879.
Helle commented, “We
have hopes that this project
can be completed before our
(LIA) graduation on May 18,
weather permitting. Sandy
Dobbelaere is a very talented
artist with an exceptional re-
sume.”

Friday, Feb. 4
11:20 p.m. Two people
were hurt in a snowmobile
accident on private property
south of Ohio 637 in
Auglaize Township near the
intersection with Ohio 66.
Riley J. Hart, 21, of Pauld-

cess. He missed the drive and
struck the ditch at a high rate
of speed, causing his 2003
Polar Edge snowmobile to
come to an immediate stop.
Ashley K. Dobbelaere, 23, of
Defiance, was following Hart

drivers were ejected. They

Gym class should
be year-round
Dear Editor,
Schools should have gym
class all year long. Not only is
it fun for students, but it is
one class where they can
relax and get a little energy
out. Most kids are not active
at home; this class is the only
time they get exercise.
Gym class is a link to good
health. The value of physical
fitness can never be over-
stated. It’s only in physical
educational classrooms that
students learn the value of
taking care of themselves and
get regular exercise.
It builds self-esteem. Stu-
dents who are active in physi-
cal activities like basketball,
volleyball and running are
more confident with them-
selves according to most
studies. It’s because of the
self-discipline and dedication
to excel in a sport that brings
out the best in students. In

3:14 p.m. Doris J. Walker,

driving east on Road 424 in
Crane Township near the

J. Risk, 25, of Paulding, was
traveling north on U.S. 127.
Reports say Risk stopped at
the stop sign and attempted a

Walker’s path. Walker’s 1998
Pontiac Grand Am was func-
tionally damaged. Risk’s
1986 Chevy Cavalier was

school, physical education in-
troduces these sport activities
to students allowing them to
make choices to which sport
areas they want to get in-
volved in.
Gym class also develops
cooperation, teamwork and
sportsmanship skill. This
class allows student to inter-
act together to win and excel
physically. It brings out the
competitive sides of students
working both body and mind,
but also promotes sportsman-
ship.
Gym class should be year
long. It would benefit stu-
dents so much. If you agree
with me contact your local

Divorce hurts
children
Dear Editor,
Divorce is a big nation-
wide problem for children. I
have to go through it and I
hate it. I don’t think some
parents know what their
child has to go through
when they get a divorce.
Divorce makes kids feel
down and this is an issue
sometimes at school. Some
kids whose parents have
gotten a divorce bully other
kids because they don’t
know what to do with their
feelings. Others just have a
low self-esteem and are re-
ments assisted at the scene.

might not pay attention in
class or even fall asleep be-
cause of this.
Transportation is also an
issue. When a kid is at their
dad’s and they want to go to
their mom’s, sometimes
they can’t because maybe
the kid’s mom already has
plans or the dad is busy.

George wants to know if
you remember when no one
needed a garbage man or a
garbage disposal in the
kitchen sink because any
scraps left over were tossed
out the back door for the
dog, cat, or chickens ...
When a status symbol was a
bathroom with a commode,
a lavatory and a tub ... When
small foreign countries were
afraid to spit in the face of
the USA ... When you could
buy all sorts of things with a
nickel ... When high schools
didn’t need huge parking
lots ... When “e-mail” and
“online” were unheard-of
words?

Recently, a new hobby
appeared on the scene –
people actually collect
mousetraps! There are only
just so many ways to catch
mice. Early ways were traps
made with wooden mallets
that fell on the little critter,
or with spring-and-lever
mechanisms similar to those
often used today.
There is an old saying
about mouse traps – he who
invents a new and better
mousetrap will find the

world will build a path to
his door. That old saying
must no longer be true since
many new ideas have shown
up with no paths to doors of
the inventors.
Modern traps are ingen-
ious devices that capture
live mice and can be used
more than once. One 19th-
century trap was a tube-like
contraption that ended up in
the air over a pail of water.
A frightened mouse would
jump out of the tube, fall
into the water below and
drown. Another device was
a glass canning jar with a
special top. The mouse
could run into the jar and
not get out again as a little
fence prevented escape.
Very few people I know
want to think about mice
and do so only when in dire
need of traps to get rid of
them. If you have that need,
you may want to the try the
newer devices such as glue
to catch the critters.

Extension offers Northern Ohio

New & Small Farm College
By JIM LOPSHIRE
OSU Extension educator
If you are looking at alter-
native agriculture on small
acreage, interested in local
foods, or looking for some
new enterprises for your fam-
ily farm operation, then plan
to attend the Northern Ohio
New & Small Farm College
being offered by the Ohio
State University Extension.
This four-week introduc-
tory short course is for the
new landowner or anyone
wishing to learn how to make
the most of a few acres. The
program seeks to improve the
productivity and enhance the
viability of small farm opera-
tors.
The program will answer the
four essential questions: “How
to get started in planning for
success?”; “What options are
there for growing vegetables or
livestock?”; “How do I market
what I grow?”; and “What re-
sources exist to help me pursue
my business plans?” Don’t
miss this chance to increase
your agricultural knowledge.
This workshop will focus on
topics related to profitable and
alternative agriculture as well
for small acreages and adding
new enterprises to existing farm
operations. The topics taught at
each site will include: develop-
ing real-life expectations for
your farm, developing a busi-
ness plan for your operation, se-
lecting agricultural enterprises,
developing budgets, marketing
your product through direct
marketing tools, and the re-
sources available.
Sessions will be held once a
week for four weeks during
March. Each session will run
from 6:30-9 p.m.
The sessions will be held at
two locations. The Putnam
County Extension office in Ot-
tawa will be the site for the
Monday sessions scheduled for
March 7, 14, 21 and 28. The
EHOVE Career Center in
Milan will be the site for the
Tuesday sessions scheduled for
March 8, 15, 22 and 29. The
same program is offered at each
site.
Cost is $50 with each addi-
tional registrant from the family
or operation at $30. The fee in-
cludes course notebook, class
handouts, and light refresh-
ments. Registration deadline is
March 1.
Contact the Putnam County
Extension office at 419-512-
6294 or e-mail arnold.2@osu.edu
to register.
More information about this
program is available on the

Your Thoughts....
HIDING IN THE FRIDGE
One thing we all do is go to
our refrigerator and say, “What
do we have to eat?” Actually,
sometimes I may open the
door of the fridge three or four
times before I decide what it is
I want.
Our refrigerators hold a lot
of good, healthy foods, such as
lettuce, celery, carrots, broccoli
and cauliflower. It also holds
our drinks such as juice and
milk. These things may sound
healthy to munch on, but usu-
ally not my first choice of what
I want to eat.
I find myself looking for a
Pepsi, candy, bologna and
Swiss cheese. In the freezer I
look for ice cream, popsicles,
meats, frozen vegetables, and
ice, of course.
Our fridge may hold a lot of
good things, but sometimes
every now and then we get a
surprise. Not too long ago, I
was looking for my Sechler
pickle relish because I needed
it in a recipe. I spotted the jar,
A Penny For
By: Nancy Whitaker
I said, “Oh, no. Look, that
pickle relish is sprouting and
growing pickles. It even turned
black.”
Very calmly he replied, “Oh
no. Those are my peach seeds.
I am trying to start a peach tree
and it said to put them in dirt
and keep them in the refriger-
ator.”
I really should be used to
finding things in the refrigera-
tor. A long time ago, I took a
partial container of what I
thought was cottage cheese in
my lunch sack. I had even
packed some fruit to go on the
top. As I opened my container
of cottage cheese, contemplat-
ing the taste of cottage cheese
and pineapple, I looked in the
container and started scream-
ing. Inside was soil and fish
worms. Wow. The worms
were kind of sleepy but still
moving.
I hurriedly put the lid back
on them and said a few choice
words. So much for lunch!
Of course, I should have
in your fridge, because nine
chances out of 10 one may be
fish worms.
A weird thing happened in
Florida in 2007. This news
item was reported: A duck had
been shot and placed in the re-
frigerator. The poor bird was
waiting to be the main course
at dinner.
Two days later, the lady of
the house opened up the refrig-
erator to remove the duck.
Then all of a sudden, the duck
moved his head. It was still
alive. The woman wanted to
save the duck, so she took it to
a wildlife rehabilitation center.
It was later reported that the
duck would recuperate, but
probably would not return to
the wild. Now, it is so strange
that the duck survived for two
days in a refrigerator.
I have heard of putting
these items in the refrigerator:
nail polish, lipstick, batteries,
camera film, sculpting clay
and coffee. Of course, we all
know where some people hide

gross looking sprouts growing.
After hearing my screams the
perpetrator came running and
said, “Are you okay? What’s

suspect this is a common oc-

‘Winning the Battle for a Generation’

By Jim Daly and Dr. Juli Slattery
QUESTION: It’s February
and I’ve already blown my
New Year’s resolution to lose
weight. I was really moti-
vated, but can’t seem to stick
with it. Any advice?
JULI: Truth be told, few of us
have been diligent to keep the
promises we made to ourselves
on Jan. 1. Whether it was to
lose weight, stop smoking or to
be a better parent, real change
is difficult to consistently stay
committed to.
One of the greatest barriers
to keeping your New Year’s
resolution is all-or-nothing
thinking. In other words, since
I ate a pint of ice cream yester-
day, I guess the diet will have
to wait until next year, or at
least next week. Let’s face it ...
we all fail to perfectly measure
up to our greatest aspirations.
The difference between suc-
cess and failure is really based
on whether or not you keep try-
ing, even after you fail. Change
doesn’t happen overnight. Re-
search suggests that it takes an
average of 66 days to form a
new habit.
As you work toward losing
weight, keep a couple of things
in mind. Set goals that will
change your lifestyle, like a
healthy eating and exercise
plan instead of targeting a
number on the scale. Create a
form of accountability, whether
a friend to work out with or a
formal weight loss program. It
is much easier to stay commit-
ted to your goal when someone
is cheering you on. Also, re-
member that medical or emo-
tional issues can impact
weight. You may want to con-
sult your physician or perhaps
a counselor if you continue to
struggle.
Finally, consider this quote
by GK Chesterton: “Anything
worth doing is worth doing
badly.” In other words, don’t
give up just because you
haven’t succeeded one hundred
percent. Even a little progress
this year is better than no
progress!
QUESTION: My husband
and I are at our wit’s end
with our 6-year-old daughter.
She’s determined to chal-
lenge our authority and have
things her own way. We’d
like to think it’s just a stage,
but our son wasn’t anywhere
near this difficult when he
was 6. What’s going on?
JIM: I think all parents have
those times when they feel like
they’re fighting a losing battle.
No matter how many times we
discipline our kids and try to
help them make the right
choices, the message just does-
n’t seem to get through.
My wife, Jean, and I have
faced this kind of frustration
with our oldest son. He’s your
typical strong-willed child. He
sees things in black and white,
which is not a bad quality in it-
self. But he often has trouble
respecting authority. Time and
again, we have tried to teach
him the importance of being
respectful. And time and again,
he’s had us tearing our hair out!
He never seemed to learn his

lesson – until, that is, just re-
cently.
Something has changed in
our firstborn son. It’s like he’s
had a burst of maturity. He’s
getting perspective, and it’s
clear that he’s beginning to un-
derstand that his actions have
consequences, both for himself
and for those around him. He’s
more respectful of his mom
and dad, not to mention his lit-
tle brother.
Did Jean and I discover
some magic formula to bring
about this change? No – we’ve
just been doing what we’ve al-
ways done. But I think that’s
the point. If we’re consistent
and persistent with our kids
when it comes to discipline and
boundaries, the message is
going to get through eventually.
There may be conflict along the
way, as you’ve discovered with
your daughter. But by God’s
grace, one day she’ll thank you
for your efforts to develop char-
acter in her when she was
younger. The important thing is
that you don’t give up. And
above all, make sure she knows
you love her.

Area Youth for Christ
Best-selling speaker and author Steven
Covey has made a living out of focusing on
“right priorities,” or what he has come to call
in his books The Seven Habits of Highly Ef-
fective People.
Speaking of priorities, on Jan. 4, 2006,
Mack Brown won the biggest football game
of his three-decade coaching career. His Texas
Longhorns rallied from a 12-point deficit
against the University of Southern California
to win both the Rose Bowl and the National
Championship.
The win erased that perpetual criticism, “He
can’t win the big one.” After this incredible
victory, Brown put the game into perspective
for the young men on that team.
In the locker-room that night, Brown told
his players, “Don’t let this be the best thing

that ever happens in your life. Maybe it’ll be
the best sports event, but don’t let it be the best
thing. Make sure you’re a better father than
this today. Make sure you’re a better husband
than this today, because this goes away. It’s a
game.”
Some contended Brown’s comments were
poorly timed following such an incredible
win, but wise individuals will remember it as
one of the greatest speeches ever given by a
coach.
With regard to living our lives in the light of
eternity, getting our priorities right, the scriptures
remind us in Matthew 6:33 (KJV): “But seek ye
first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto you.”

THE GUIDE TO GREEN LIVING IN OUR COMMUNITY
Using wind as an energy option
As both businesses and pri-
vate citizens continue to look
for alternative sources of ener-
gy to help the environment,
wind continues to generate a
back and forth discussion as to
its efficacy as an energy solu-
tion. While there are pros and
cons to wind, it’s also impor-
tant to note there are certain
myths and misconceptions
about wind that can cloud the
discussion.
Before discussing the
advantages and disadvantages
of wind, it’s helpful to exam-
ine certain elements of the
argument that might be more
rooted in myth than fact.
Myths About Wind
One of the more commonly
cited issues surrounding the
use of wind turbines to gener-
ate energy is their potentially
harmful effects on avian life.
In reality, wind turbines are
much less harmful to birds
than felines. According to
HealthLink, a nonprofit organ-
ization dedicated to informing
individuals about environmen-
tal risks to human health, stud-
ies have shown that wind tur-
bines may be responsible for
1.5 to 2 deaths per year in most
areas. Cats, on the other hand,
are responsible for 8 to 10 bird
deaths a year in most areas.
Another myth with regard to
wind power is the safety risk
of wind turbines should weath-
er turn severe. While this was
once a genuine concern, as
wind turbine technology has
evolved, the safety risk has
decreased significantly.
Today’s wind turbines are
designed to prevent them from
being active in severe weather,
meaning there is essentially no
turbined-related risk to sur-
rounding residents should a
storm occur.
In addition to safety con-
cerns, some homeowners are
worried that wind turbines will
increase their property taxes.
This concern is rooted in fact,
but not necessarily costly to
AEP Ohio offers Energy
Star appliance rebate
AEP Ohio, a unit of

Appliance Program.
In an effort to increase con-
sumer awareness and encour-
age the purchase of ENERGY
STAR products, AEP Ohio is

homeowners. Wind turbines
often do increase property
value because they represent a
means for homeowners to pro-
duce long-term income.
However, the majority of land-
lease agreements include pro-
visions stating that the wind
developer will cover any addi-
tional property taxes that result
from the installation of a wind
turbine.
Benefits of Wind Turbines
Arguably the greatest bene-
fit of wind turbines is their
environmental impact. Once
the turbine has been construct-
ed, its environmental impact is
minimal. Wind turbines pro-
duce zero emissions, meaning
there will be no CO2, sulfur,
particulates, or nitrogen oxide
entering the atmosphere from
wind turbines. And because
environmental conditions have
been linked to a host of med-
ical maladies, it’s safe to say
wind turbines could help
improve human health.
Another benefit of wind tur-
bines is the potential financial
benefits to homeowners who
agree to lease their land to
wind developers. While the
amount a homeowner can earn
depends on the size of the
wind turbine and how produc-
tive it is, projects in Minnesota
and Iowa saw landowners earn
between 2 and 4 percent of the
turbine’s annual gross revenue.
For a turbine that earns
$200,000 per year in gross rev-
enue, that’s an annual payment
of $2,000 to landowners, a
hefty windfall for homeown-
ers, particularly in today’s
economy.
Reduced energy loss is
another potential benefit of
wind turbines. Energy is often
lost via transfer through ener-
gy lines, with some estimates
suggesting as much as 50 per-
cent of all total energy is being
lost to energy line transfers.
Locally produced power, how-
ever, is much more efficient.

mail-in rebate to AEP Ohio
residential customers who pur-
chase an ENERGY STAR

Williams, AEP Ohio manager
Wind turbines can be an environmentally and financially beneficial resource to landowners.
Disadvantages Of Wind
Turbines
One of the more widely
cited disadvantages to wind
turbines is the noise they cre-
ate. Large-scale wind turbines,
at the peak of their production,
can be very noisy. However,
today’s turbines are much less
noisy than those of yesteryear,
often being compared to the
noise generated from a modern
refrigerator. In fact, the wind
generated from today’s tur-
bines often drowns out the
noise generated from the tur-
bine itself.
The cost of wind turbines is
commonly considered the
greatest disadvantage. This
isn’t a great concern for home-
owners, as most wind turbines
are owned by investors who
then lease lands once the tur-
bine has been built. However,
the tenuous nature of the econ-
omy has led many investors to
more closely examine where
their money is going, and
some investors might question
if wind turbines are the best
way to invest their money.
Safety also must be consid-
ered when considering the
energy efficiency and peak
demand response. “By replac-
ing older or inefficient prod-
ucts with ENERGY STAR
qualified products, consumers
reduce energy use, save money
and help reduce pollution.

Green trends for 2011
equals sustainability
By Becky Suvar
WMEA Program Manager
There are four themes that we need to take a look at for
Going Green in 2011.
Energy efficiency
The name of the game in greening up your life style starts
with reducing your overall power consumption. “Smart” tech-
nologies in home appliances like refrigerators, washing
machines and ovens that monitor the grid and can tell users
when the least expensive time to run a cycle or cook a meal
will occur.
These appliances will also learn when you most often use
them (such as how many times a day and when you open the
freezer) and adjust the temperature accordingly to keep foods
fresh, even at slightly warmer temperatures, to reduce power
consumption. You can even receive a text message from your
oven to start and stop cooking cycles when you’re out in the
backyard or even on the road.
Companies also have met energy efficiency standards
head-on, and the U.S. EPA is already revising its Energy Star
program to take the requirements up another notch.
The bottom line is that consumers can expect their gadgets
to strive to maximize efficiency and minimize power drain in
new, intuitive ways.
Monitoring home energy usage
Jumping off of the efficiency trend, being able to monitor
and control your home energy usage from any location is a
huge theme in consumer electronics.
“Smart” plugs offer a fast way to modify existing homes in
order to monitor power usage, without needing a full-scale
home energy monitoring system.
While their features vary by manufacturer, essentially,
smart plugs are outlet units that plug into regular household
outlets to prevent vampire power drain, monitor energy con-
sumption and generally reduce the overall costs to run various
electronics.
Many versions offer wi-fi or radio wave technology that
communicate consumption rates to energy profiles accessible
from any location. This capability, as well as updates avail-

Raiders wrap up historic regular season of the
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
HAVILAND – There is no
better way to end a historic
regular season than to cap it off
with a pair of records in the
final contest.
The Wayne Trace Lady
Raiders did just that.
Wayne Trace wrapped up a
20-0 regular season and be-
came the first Raider girls team
to do so after a 76-39 win over
Green Meadows Conference
rival Fairview Thursday
evening.
The Lady Raider’s senior Janelle Davis #22 sets up for a steal
against Fairview last Thursday night.
Antwerp Archers GMC co-champions
By STEVE MAJOR
Sportswriter
ANTWERP – The
Antwerp Archers claimed a
second consecutive GMC
championship by besting
rival Hicksville 57-44 last
Friday night at home. After
losing its first league game to
Tinora, the Archers had their
backs against the wall for six
straight GMC games. But
Antwerp came through with
six straight league wins to
claim the title along with
Tinora and Edgerton, who all
finished at 6-1 in the GMC.
“We lost our first confer-
ence game so we where up
against it,” said Antwerp
coach Scott McMichael.
“But we got better and better
each week.”
The three-way tie for the
league championship had a
very nice symmetry – Tinora
beat Antwerp, Antwerp beat
Edgerton and Edgerton beat
Tinora. The GMC title is the
third time a Scott
McMichael-coached team
has won the championship.
Also over the weekend, the
Archers took a road victory
at Hilltop by a score of 48-
24. With that win Antwerp
has claimed 10 of their last
11 games, including seven in
a row. For the season,
Antwerp is now 13-5.
The victory over

Week
Raiders also wrapped up an
undefeated 7-0 mark in the
conference that gives Wayne
Trace four straight league titles
for the first time in the girls
program’s history.
Senior standout guard
Kacee Hockenberry wrapped
up her career in the Palace by
scoring her 1,000th point in
her final game, hitting a free
throw at the 2:47 mark of the
opening quarter against the
Lady Apaches. Hockenberry
closed her career at home with
16 points, four assists and three
Jim Bowers/Paulding County Progress
Hicksville was extra sweet
for Antwerp’s six seniors –
Logan Lucas, Jordan Kop-
penhofer, Shaile Chamber-
lain, Dustin Hitzeman,
Tanner Copsey and Zac
Coleman – who were playing
their last home game of their
careers.
“It was a memorable night
for the seniors,” said
McMichael. “They all con-
tributed and they all got to
cut down the nets. They got
to do something they will re-
member the rest of their
lives.”
Ten Archers cracked the
scoring column against the
Aces, with Coleman leading
the way with 11 points.
Chamberlain had eight and
Lucas, Koppenhofer and
Drew Taylor added seven
points apiece.
At Hilltop, the Archers
again had great balance with
nine players scoring points.
Copsey was the top scorer
with 11 points and sopho-
more Justin Butte added 10
markers.
McMichael also had praise
for the community’s backing.
“We appreciate the fan
support,” said the Antwerp
coach. “So winning the title
at home was special for the
fans and players.”
The JV Archers also
racked up two wins this past
steals in the victory.
Senior forward Jo Ellen
Fickel also hit the record books
in the contest, eclipsing the
two-point field goals made for
a career with her 336th with
7:07 left in the third quarter of
the Raider win. Fickel finished
the night with 10 points, three
assists and two steals.
It was a night that saw five
seniors play the final home
game of their careers, wrap-
ping up a record of 64-14 in
regular season action over four
seasons.
Senior guard Janelle Davis
scored 10 points in the contest
while adding six assists and
three steals. Senior guard
Kelsey Heck added a dozen
markers while senior guard
Andrea Padilla chipped in
three rebounds, an assist and
two steals.
“This has been a tremen-
dous group of girls to coach
and they are a very special
group of kids,” noted Wayne
Trace head coach Greg Davis.
“They have worked extremely
hard and they deserve the suc-
cess and recognition they are
being rewarded with. We still
have some work to do, but it is
nice to get the regular season
wrapped up and we can come
back next week looking for-
ward to the tournament.”
Only one other basketball
team in the history of Wayne
Trace has completed a regular
season undefeated. The Raider
boys’ squad from the 1980-81
season finished the regular
schedule 20-0 before losing to
Fairview in the sectional
championship, finishing 21-1.
“Winning the league was
the first goal for this team and
the girls did a great job of
keeping that in focus all year,”
Davis continued. “They have
had a superb regular season
weekend to up their record to
15-3 for the year and claim a
JV GMC champion along the
way. Against Hicksville the
JV Archers won 37-30 and
then they beat Hilltop 35-27.
“For these two games we
had a couple of guys hurt and
a couple sick, so it was like a
MASH unit out there,” said
Antwerp JV coach Jason
Hormann. “We pulled both
games out in the second half.
Against Hicksville, we
outscored them by 12 points
in the third quarter after lead-

the margin back to 39-26 at the

two games. On Thursday
night Antwerp traveld to

game. Then on Friday night,
the Archers cross over into

of Woodlan.
Neither of those opponents
have good records, but the
Archers need to stay focused
and not rest with the state
tournament just ahead. A
team always wants to be
playing its best ball at the end
of the season.
“For the rest of our sched-
ule, if we play up to our po-
tential, we should get a few
more wins,” said McMichael.
“We have grown in confi-
dence by getting better every
week the last four weeks. We
lost a few games early, but
this team may be peaking at
the right time.”

“We are closer to being

Panthers advance
three to districts
By KEVIN WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
ARCHBOLD – The Paulding wrestling team participated in
one of the toughest Division III sectionals in Ohio over the
weekend with three Panthers advancing to district action.
Nick Hanenkratt took third place at 215 with three wins out
of four matches at the sectional. Hanenkratt posted victories
over Delta’s Brandon Vasquez, Ayersville’s Andy Brink and
Archbold’s Jacob Strong.
The Panthers’ Sidney Salinas finished fourth at 103, featur-
ing a key win over Liberty Center’s Cody Kaiser to qualify for
the districts.
Taylor Deatrick also moves on after a fourth place finish, in-
cluding a win over Delta’s Seth Colvin that advanced Deatrick
on to the districts.
Paulding’s Brandon Jarell just missed moving on with a fifth
place finish at 285. Chazz Hahn recorded a sixth place finish
at 171 and Nick Flint took sixth at 145.
Local MMA fighter Brandon “The Bull Dog Jr.” Davis (left) com-
peted at the Ice51 Pro/Am cage fights in Cincinnati recently and came
out victorious. Davis (pictured here with his trainer/manager Rob Ma-
jors) faced an amateur boxer-grappler with 13 years experience, and
even being an underdog, he stepped up to the challenge. Davis saw
an opening and was successful in taking his opponent to the ground,
where he attained the mount position. From there, Davis was able to
land multiple unanswered blows that caused the ref to halt the bout
and award Davis the win by TKO in 2:29 of the first round. Davis is
scheduled to fight Feb. 26 at the Van Wert Banquet Center, along
with several other Malice MMA fighters. For pictures, videos and in-
formation on Davis and other local fighters, please visit malicefight-

Wayne Trace posts wins over Miller City, Crestview

By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
In action early last week,
the Lady Raiders posted a
non-league 69-50 win over
Miller City on Wednesday
evening that saw Kacee
Hockenberry break another
record. (See related story.)
The senior guard set a new
career record for assists in the
contest, breaking the old
record held by Natalie Davis
of 206.
Wayne Trace led 20-14 at
the end of one period before
posting a 32-26 halftime ad-
vantage. The Lady Raiders
widened the margin to 50-35
after three quarters and never
were threatened in the final
eight minutes.
Hockenberry paced the
Raiders with 19 points with
Jo Ellen Fickel adding 18
while Kelsey Heck and Krys-
tal Wannemacher chipped in
10. Janelle Davis (nine), Ash-
ley Saylor (two) and Sarah
Feasby (one) had the other
red, white and blue markers.
Wannemacher led Wayne
Trace on the boards with
seven with Davis getting six.
Heck also had five caroms
for the Raiders. Hockenberry
and Davis each dished off
seven assists as well.
Wayne Trace also posted a
57-38 win at rival Crestview
to start the week, a victory
that broke the school record
for victories in a season.
Heck, Fickel and Hocken-
berry all hit twin digits with
13, 12 and 11 markers, re-
spectively. Wannemacher
(eight), Padilla (five), Davis
(five) and Feasby (three) also
found the scoring column for
Wayne Trace.
Feasby grabbed eight
boards to pace Wayne Trace
with Davis adding three as-
sists and five steals. Hocken-
berry also had four steals for
the Raiders.
The Lady Raiders posted a
15-8 advantage after one
quarter and widened the lead
to 28-14 at the break. Wayne
Trace held a 41-29 lead going
into the final stanza.
The Raider junior varsity
posted a 35-24 win over the
Knights behind 10 points
from Lauren Speice and six
by Emilie Linder. Karena
Egnor (five), Rachel Long
(five), Rylee Zartman (one),
Kari Myers (four), Becca
Habern (two) and Tanya Sinn
(two) also scored for Wayne
Trace.
The Lady Raiders will
open tournament play at
Paulding High School as
Wayne Trace takes on either
Continental or Kalida in the
first game Saturday evening.
Game time for the contest is
set for 6:15 p.m.

Raiders let lead slip away

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

SPENCERVILLE – Foul
trouble proved to be an
achilles heel for the Paulding
girls on Thursday at
Spencerville as the local
squad dropped a 52-50 heart-
breaking loss to the foe
Bearcats.
The Panthers put on a furi-

outscoring the Bearcats 15-7
in the final eight minutes, to
just fall short.
The Panthers sped to an 8-

Spencerville rallied to take
over 13-10 at the end of the
first stop. In the second quar-
ter, Paulding post player Jes-

fouls as the Bearcats built a
34-21 lead at the halfway
