Rassman, has been appointed
to the post of dog warden ef-

The pair replaces former
warden Georgia Dyson and
her assistant, Ken Huckabaa.
Dyson was relieved of her du-

New personnel are managing the Paulding County dog wardens office as of July 1. Mark Rassman (right) is the new warden
while Brandon Shuherk is his assistant. Both men, employed by the county commissioners, are supervised by the sheriffs office.
They are currently tackling the task of cleaning up the kennels and office areas in addition to regular duties of the dog warden.
From Staff Reports
HAVILAND A Paulding County man re-
portedly remains hospitalized after being shot
last week by a deputy following a brief standoff
and exchange of gunfire.
James Fleenor, age 42, was transported to
Lutheran Hospital in Fort Wayne. No condition
report is available.
Paulding County Sheriff Jason Landers and
Allen County (Ohio) Sheriff Sam Crish spoke at
a press conference on Wednesday, July 3.
Landers read the following statement:
Thank you for coming this morning. I think
it is important this morning to let the citizens of
Paulding County know all law enforcement of-
ficers and bystanders are safe as a result of this
mornings incident. Unfortunately, unforeseen
circumstances arouse last evening that resulted
in one man being shot by a deputy sheriff who is
a member of the Allen County Ohio Tactical
Team.
At approximately 9:11 p.m. on July 2, 2013,
deputies were dispatched to a residence on Road
95 south of Road 60 in Blue Creek Township
Northwest of Haviland, for a suicidal subject
armed with a gun. The gunman is 42-year-old
James Fleenor of Paulding County.
Upon deputies arrival, they were ap-
proached by Mr. Fleenor in the driveway of the
home, and Mr. Fleenor presented a firearm. The
circumstances changed when Fleenor barricad-
ed himself in a room within the house with
firearms. The Allen County Ohio Sheriffs
Office Tactical Team was called for mutual aid.
After more than four hours of negotiations,
Allen County Sheriff Sam Crish and I made the
decision to enter the room to secure Mr. Fleenor.
Mr. Fleenor presented a firearm and fired shots
from a rifle at deputies. One member of the
Tactical Entry Team returned fire, striking Mr.
Fleenor twice.
This incident is being investigated as a crim-
inal offense where charges are being reviewed
by the Paulding County prosecutor against Mr.
Fleenor. The investigative portion of this inci-
dent is being worked by the Van Wert County
Deputy involved in shooting
Rassman named new dog warden

Dog warden fired again
From Staff Reports
PAULDING Just hours after dog warden Georgia Dyson
was scheduled to begin her duties under supervision of the
sheriffs office, the Paulding County commissioners voted to
terminate her employment, and appointed an interim dog
warden.
The commissioners took the action on Monday, July 1.
Brandon Shuherk, who on June 26 had been appointed as
the new assistant dog warden effective July 1, was immedi-
ately named as interim dog warden. Then later last week, the
commissioners appointed Deputy Mark Rassman as the dog
warden.
Contacted for comment, Dyson did not return email mes-
sages.

PAYNE Edie Mills has
never gotten used to the con-
cern she feels when a close
family member waits for a
medical diagnosis that remote-
ly seems like it could be ALS
(amyotrophic lateral sclerosis),
also known as Lou Gehrigs
Disease.
Over a lifetime, the Payne
woman has lost her husband,
George, daughter, Georgie,
brother-in-law, Ludwell, niece,
Tina Mills Rodriguez, and
nephew, Brent Mills, to the
dreaded illness. In addition, a
son, Bob, is suffering from a
slower moving form of the dis-
ease and is being honored
through a fundraiser.
This Saturday, July 13, those
associated with the illness will
be recognized in a day of
events held at the American
Legion in Payne. All money
raised will go towards ALS re-
search.
Other area residents being
memorialized in Saturdays
event include Ruth Brown,
Robert L. Bowsher Sr., John
Thomas, Craig McCloud,
Esther Woods, Philip Perl,
James E. Wright Sr., Blake
Isaacs, Peggy Lorden, Robin
Merriman, Norm Roughton
and Myrna Snyder.
This years event will be
centered out of the Payne
American Legion, with a
bike/car/truck poker run begin-
ning at 10 a.m. and a
walkathon beginning at 11
a.m. Registration for each
event will take place one hour
before it begins.
Food will be available on a
donation basis. There will also
be a bake sale, silent auction
and raffle items. In addition, T-
shirts, sweat shirts and hooded
sweatshirts will be sold.
I recently spent a week in
San Francisco, touring amaz-
ing public and private gardens,
as well as seeing the usual
tourist hot spots. With Ohio
temperatures hovering around
the 95-degree mark when I
left, the Mediterranean cli-
mate of San Francisco was
looking mighty fine to me.
As luck would have it, the
bay area was experiencing an
unusual heat wave and as we
roamed around this garden
and that one, I felt like Id
jumped from the frying pan
into the fire. But unbelievable
beauty was all around me,
with an abundance of plants
that I was unfamiliar with, due
in part to San Francisco being
blessed with so many micro-
climates.
Our little pocket of Ohio is
in USDA Zone 5b, meaning
that we can grow perennials
that have been listed as hardy
to temperatures of -15F. Most
of the state is listed as Zone 6
under the new maps, but if
you are in Paulding or any of
the surrounding counties,
dont count on that. Of course,
temperature is only one part of
the plant success equation, but
its a good starting point.
We all have those areas in
our gardens where a few
plants grow, defying logic ac-
cording to the rules of horti-
culture. There are reasons we
have this, and it has little to do
with the plant or luck.
Because of specific loca-
tion, such as being on the
south or east side of the house,
in a corner, on the east side of
a hedge, in a depression or
valley, or near a stone or brick
wall, we many times can get
away with growing plants that
are typically too tender for our
winters. These factors may
offer some protection from the
wind and some raise the over-
all temperature to a level a lit-
tle higher than normal.
Nearly every garden has
one or more of these microcli-
mates and once you find
yours, you can take advantage
of it and grow plants listed as
being hardy to Zone 6, possi-
bly even Zone 7, if youre
lucky.
Because of its location next
to the Pacific Ocean and the
bay, as well as the hills and
mountains, and the varying
winds, San Francisco has an
abundance of microclimates.
Seventeen of them have been
identified there, so depending
on where you live in the bay
area, your garden could be
vastly different from friends
who live as close as 10 miles
away.
Half Moon Bay, on the
coast, has an average July
temperature of 64, yet Walnut
Creek, just 25 miles inland has
an average of 87. We dont
have that wide of a variation
here, but minor ones exist and
can be created using other
plantings or structures in a
protective manner.
In my own garden, I have
found that I can grow a few
Zone 6 plants in an area on the
south side of our house. It has
several factors that work in the
plants favor. Besides facing
south, there is a row of yews
that protect it from westerly
winds and because those yews
run fairly parallel to the side of
the house, it traps the warm air
there.
Gardeners like to push the
zone envelope, because were
like everyone else we want
that which we cannot have.
With the wonder of microcli-
mates, perhaps you can have
what you didnt think you
could. Look around your gar-
dens and your yard to see if
you might have one of these
areas, or can create one, and
plant something iffy to see
how it does. You may be
pleasantly surprised!

Iva Stoller, an accomplished
artist, has several porcelain
plates on display that presents

Stoller Honey Farms started
in the early 1920s by Darls fa-

his wife Marie (Laukhuf) had
four children, Wayne,
By JOE SHOUSE
Correspondent
PAULDING When your
family business is successful
and its all you know from an
early age, you appreciate
everything it resembles. And
for Darl and Iva Stoller, you
could say that honey runs in
their veins. The honey busi-
ness has brought them full cir-
cle and today Darl and his
wife are excited about the lat-
est edition at the John
Paulding Historical Museum
depicting in part the history of
Stoller honey.
While working for the fam-
ily business delivering honey,
Darl would have opportunity
during his travels to stop at an-
tique shops and malls and
would purchase items that had
a history tied to honey. An
array of collectables including
honey tins, dishes, honey pots,
books, and most anything that
depicts the name honey is
on display.
Also on display are items
more personal to the Stoller
name including feature arti-
cles from the American Bee
Culture magazines written by
Stoller, wax foundations for
Christine, Darl and Gale. Both
Darl and Gale became active
in the beekeeping business
after returning from duty dur-
ing the Korean War.
Dad purchased the old
Latty School building when it
was condemned, probably
around 1952, and we installed
the necessary equipment for
the bee business, said Darl.
In the early stages of the
business, the Stollers had bees
in Nebraska, Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio, and in the winter, bees
were transported to Georgia
and Florida. The family busi-
ness has changed over the
years with various family
members involved in the oper-
ation.
Today, Darls son, Kirk is
the president of the company.
With a laugh, Darl said, Kirk
is the president, CEO, leader,
and owner. He is the one in
charge. Kirk and his work
force now operate out of a
new building recently con-
structed off of U.S. 127, east
of Latty
The business has become
more localized as far as bees
and honey production.
According to Darl, bee hives
are in Van Wert and Paulding
counties, with a few in
Indiana. One interesting twist
to the Stoller bee population is
the transporting of some 1,200
bee hives each fall to
California.
We transport three-fourths
of our bees to California in
October in order for them to
pollinate with the almond
groves. It takes three semi
trucks to send the bees out
west and they return in early
spring, said Darl.
The added edition to the
museum is a wonderful dis-
play of Paulding County histo-
ry and how hard work and per-
sistence leads to quality and
success. After being in the bee
industry for all these years,
Darl knows the secret to the
success of the family business.
Its Gods. It all belongs to
Him.
The museum is open each
Tuesday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
and the first Saturday of each
month from 10 a.m.-3 p.m.

set hours for the kennel to be
open, but Rassman said they
will be set as soon as possible.
In the meantime, the build-
ing is getting a thorough
cleaning according to
Paulding County Com mis -
sioner Fred Pieper. He said nu-
merous maintenance matters
need tending.
Contractors are being called
in to replace crumbling doors,
do electrical work and repair
the plumbing. An extermina-
tor has been called to deal with
the rodent problem.
Servicemaster will come in for
a final sanitizing.
Nearly a dumpster full of
junk had been removed from
the structure by Monday after-
noon.
The dog wardens truck is
also in need of attention; the
sheriff said there was a lack of
maintenance that will be ad-
dressed as soon as possible.
Sheriff Landers said a typi-
cal day for the dog warden
will start in the office check-
ing for messages with follow
up before heading to the ken-
nels. Dog calls will be priori-
tized during off hours. If it is
not an emergency, the matter
will be addressed the follow-
ing morning.
Rassman would like to im-
plement several changes at the
kennels which would include
the assistance of volunteer
groups. He said he would love
to work with a group that
wants to interact with the
dogs.
If some people would like
to exercise or groom the dogs,
that would be great, he said.
Volunteers could also assist
with driving dogs, making
calls, doing building or land-
scape maintenance to name a
few.
He said he is looking for
both volunteers and sugges-
tions at the kennel. He is also
hoping for help from commu-
nity service workers through
the court system for painting,
cleaning gutters and other su-
pervised work.
Rassman and Sheriff
Landers agreed guidelines for
volunteer involvement will
need to be established.
Persons who wish to help out
can call the dog warden at
419-399-9728, the sheriffs
office at 419-399-03791 or
email mrassman@pauldin-
gohsheriff.com or jklan-
ders@pauldingohsheriff.com.
Pieper said there is no active
humane society in the county.
He noted one is not required
for dog rescues, and that vol-
unteers could be coordinated
by the dog warden to do so.
We already have a lot of
people who have stepped for-
ward to help, said Rassman.
I would like to see ... people
come together to best care for
the animals. We have a lot of
fences to cross to get there, but
we have good people here in
Paulding County.

Crish declined to comment
on the types or number of
firearms found in Fleenors
possession.
On Tuesday, a spokesman
for the Van Wert County
Sheriffs Office said their por-
tion of the investigation is still
continuing and had no further
updates.
Ohio Sheriffs Office
Detective Bureau, and the
crime scene is being investi-
gated by the Ohio Bureau of
Criminal Investigations
Crime Scene Investigative
Unit. This investigation con-
tinues.
Sheriff Crish then spoke on
his offices involvement dur-
ing this incident.
Crish said that the decision
was made to gain entry and
take control of the suspect. A
deputy returned fire and
Fleenor was struck in the
upper torso. He was taken to a
Fort Wayne hospital, where he
was initially listed in serious
condition.
Sheriff Crish said that any-
time an officer is involved in a
shooting, they are placed on
administrative leave pending
investigation. He identified the
officer as Deputy Gary Hook,

The Amish Cook
By: Lovina Eicher
Tonight we fried the fish for
our supper along with hash
browns and potatoes, cheese,
ice cream and strawberries.
Today on our to do list
was mop the floors, make
strawberry freezer jam, and
weed the garden. Seemed we
were done early. When all the
children pitch in to help, the
work goes faster. Its nice to
be done early and have a
long, relaxing evening.
Corn detasseling should be
starting sometime after the
Fourth of July. Next week,
Joe and daughter Elizabeth,
both have the week off for
their annual vacation. Im
sure that week will go way
too fast for them. So far, we
dont have any special plans
for the week.
On Monday, July 1, daugh-
ter Loretta was 13. Wow. Our
fifth teenager in the house.
We as parents sure cannot
complain though. They are all
good children and we pray
God will always be their
guide through life.
Son, Benjamin, will be 14
on July 14 and son, Joseph,
will be 11 on July 24. Then
Joe and I will have our 20th
anniversary on July 15. The
month of July always brings
cake and ice cream.
Sister Emma will be 40 on
July 19 and her youngest son,
Steven, will be 6 in July. One
year after another passes by
and all at once we stop to
think, Where has all the time
gone?
We are having thunder-
storms most of the evening.
Our rain gauge shows that we
have had over two inches of
rain already. I do think we
have more, because the wind
is blowing the rain, so it
might not be quite the accu-
rate amount going in.
We also had a thunder-
storm last night and received
a half inch of rain. We were in
need of rain, so we decided to
water the garden. I told the
boys maybe if we water the
garden we will get rain. The
rain clouds all seemed to go
over us, but soon after the
garden was watered, the rain
and storms arrived.
My husband, Joe, and sons,
Benjamin and Joseph, spent
the day fishing on the nearby
lake on Saturday. They came
home with around 50
bluegill, perch, and crappies.
Jacob and Emmas oldest
daughter, Elizabeth, age 16,
will be having surgery on
Thursday in a hospital about
3 hours away. She has to stay
overnight, so their 4 other
children plan to come here
until they are back home.
Hopefully, everything will
go ok. They can be back by
Friday night. Son Kevin, 7, is
so excited about his cousin,
Steven, coming for the night.
He has all kinds of plans on
what they can do.
This is now Wednesday
morning. We received an-
other inch of rain through the
night making a total of 3-1/2
inches of rain this week so
far. The wind blew my sweet
corn over. Im hoping it will
stand back up. Otherwise
everything looks ok, except,
there are a few branches here
and there. Try this hot dog
sauce recipe at your Fourth of
July picnic!

A history of
the art of art
Dear Editor,
Thank you for the article
re: the history of several of
our families addicted to art.
(All the Mommies Would
Go Painting, Progress, July
3.) The book has been do-
nated to each Paulding
Carnegie Library branch, as
well as the John Paulding
Historical Society.
The book is their story and
I simply put it together like a
scrapbook, but without the
glue and bumps of embell-
ishments! My hope is that
others will do something
similar for the artists that
they knew directly from
their childhood.
The cost of the hardbound
book is $15 plus Allen
County sales tax (0.65%) =
$.98 for a total of $15.98. I
apologize for the [price]
confusion from my end.
And again I thank the
Paulding Progress for the
coverage on the history of
the art of art in Paulding
County, Ohio.

Son able to
be just like
everyone else
Dear Editor,
I want to say a big thank
you to the Hench Family and
the staff of the Hench Sum-
mer Program. My son at-
tended the three-week
program that just ended at
no expense to our family. He
enjoyed all of the activities
that were planned. Bill espe-
cially liked that he was able
to meet people just like him
that have Aspergers Syn-
drome and understood what
he goes through each day.
He was provided trans-
portation from Paulding to
Defiance College every day
by bus, and food and activi-
ties cost us nothing. Bill
came home with stories
every day of what they had
done and he was able to tell
me names of the kids he had
in his groups. Talking to oth-
ers and remembering names
is hard for him, but not with
these kids. He met people
that understood and did not
make fun of him.
Bill attended early inter-
vention due to delays until
he was 3 years old. Entering
kindergarten we were given
the diagnosis of PDD-NOS
(autism but without a spe-
cific level). The doctor fi-
nally specified Aspergers as
Bill entered high school as
he is at the upper end of the
autism spectrum. None of
these kids are scary and
weird as some people have
called Bill. They just want to
be treated like a typical per-
son. That is what these three
weeks did Bill was just
like everyone else.

Citizen supports
dog warden
Dear Editor,
In regards to the Paulding
County commissioners, I
must say how disgusted I am
of how they have handled
this entire situation with the
dog warden.
This is obviously a witch
hunt aimed specifically at
Georgia Dyson. Georgia has
been the dog warden since
2010 and has done a very
good job. She has operated
the shelter under budget and
went almost a year without
putting down a single dog.
When the commissioners
decided to put her position
under the sheriffs office,
she was told she would not
be eligible for the position
because her husband was a
supervisor at the sheriffs of-
fice, which is a conflict of
interest. We, the citizens of
Paulding County, fought
back against this travesty
and they finally offered her
the job under the sheriff
after he was able change
things around so her hus-
band would never be her di-
rect supervisor.
When they offered her the
job, I said at that time they
would find any reason they
could to fire her. Well that
happened last Monday when
they fired her for terrible
conditions at the dog shelter.
They stated there was is a
huge mouse infestation with
feces all over the place.
Georgia had contacted the
commissioners about the
mice, to which they replied,
Buy a cat or put out poi-
son. What kind of answer is
that? They would not allow
her to get an exterminator
and wanted her to put down
poison which could kill the
very dogs were trying to
save.
They also stated there was
dog feces in all the pens and
they have pictures to prove
it. Ive seen the pictures as
well as two videos posted on
YouTube by a made-up per-
son who obviously had ac-
cess to the inside of the dog
shelter. They failed to tell
anyone that Georgia had
been out at the shelter on the
previous Saturday to feed
and water the dogs and clean
out their pens.
I personally find it ex-
tremely convenient that on
the following day, the very
person they appointed to be
the interim dog warden
talked with Georgia on the
phone and told her they
would take care of cleaning
up the pens as well as water-
ing and feeding them to save
her a trip to the shelter on
Sunday. Then on Monday
morning, the commissions
get an anonymous com-
plaint from a person, who
has access to the shelter,
about the conditions at the
shelter. They also just hap-
pened to have the sheriff
and a deputy, along with the
media, go out to discover
the horrible conditions. They
fired Georgia for these fabri-
cated reasons on the very
day her position was to
begin under the sheriff.
My wife and I personally
sat down with the sheriff on
Friday, where he explained
to us what his plans for the
shelter moving forward. One
thing I found very interest-
ing is they already brought
in a dumpster, have had a
crew of people out there
cleaning up, and they have
already scheduled an electri-
cian, a plumber, and an ex-
terminator to come out and
take care of all the issues.
You have to ask yourself
why these same things were
not afforded to Georgia.
It is very obvious that they
wanted her to fail and
wanted to appear they had
valid reasons to fire her. We
deserve so much more than
we have as commissioners,
dont we? They have be-
trayed our trust in many
ways and all three need to do
the right thing and resign.
We the citizens need to call
them and demand their im-
mediate resignation.

In My Opinion
Sleep study is
very beneficial
By Tom Melchor
Paulding County Hospital
My name is Tom Melchor and I am a respiratory therapist
who was recently diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep
apnea. The irony of this diagnosis is that I work with the
sleep clinic at Paulding County Hospital. At the urging of my
wife I finally had a sleep study that demonstrated I have a
disordered sleeping pattern.
I am grateful to the many
requests from my wife to
have the sleep study. She
was always telling me that I
snored loudly and would
hold my breath to the point
that she would wake me up
so I would take a breath. The sleep study revealed that I was
holding my breath so long that my oxygen saturation would
go as low as 67%. The normal oxygen range for sleeping is
94% to 98%, so I was basically suffocating myself when I
went to sleep.
You can only imagine what this does to your system, espe-
cially your heart when it is oxygen deprived. Your heart has
to work overtime and after years of this it leads to all sorts of
problems with your heart. I kept putting off the test, as I
couldnt imagine having to wear some kind of mask at night
just to sleep.
After only a night or two of using the cpap machine I was
off and running. My wife is also glad I finally gave in, be-
cause she now is able to sleep without all the loud snoring
and gasping. Prior to my sleep study, I would wake up 3 to 4
times a night and I would tell my wife in the morning that I
felt like I didnt sleep much.
Now I can sleep the whole night without waking up, which
are 6 to 7 hours of restful sleep. I feel that I have more en-
ergy and have had co-workers comment that I dont appear
tired as I did prior to using the cpap machine. Studies show
that people with obesity have a higher incidence of sleep
apnea, but I didnt fall into that category since I am just
under 6 feet tall and weigh 174 pounds.
If you have witnessed snoring, gasping for air, excessive
daytime sleepiness, I highly recommend that you speak to
your physician and discuss having a sleep study. If you have
any questions about sleep apnea or what happens during a
sleep study, please call Paulding County Hospital at 419-
399-1133 for more information. I really wish that I had done
a sleep study years ago.
The opinions stated are those of the writer, and do not nec-
essarily reflect that of the newspaper.

Bill Sherry/Paulding County Progress
The abandoned house at 207 Auglaize St. in Oakwood has been demolished. The grant for de-
molishing abandoned buildings was received last fall and this house was the first on the list. The
demolition process should be completed by the end of the week.
By BILL SHERRY
Correspondent
OAKWOOD At its regu-
lar meeting July 8, Oakwood
Village Council heard the
abandoned house at 207
Auglaize St. has been demol-
ished. Council also approved
resolutions to participate in a
new county emergency man-
agement program.
A grant for demolishing
abandoned buildings was re-
ceived last fall and the aban-
doned house in Oakwood was
the first on the list. There
have been numerous prob-
lems, but finally the house is
a pile of rubble that is being
hauled away. The process
should be completed by the
end of the week.
Council unanimously
passed the following resolu-
tions:
Resolution #13-R-
07 a resolution authorizing
the termination of the Pauld-
ing County Emergency Man-
agement Agency Agreement
dated Nov. 8, 1989.
Resolution #13-R-
08 a resolution authorizing
the Village of Oakwood to
participate in a program for
emergency management or-
ganized by the Paulding
County commissioners.
Resolution #13-R-
09 a resolution determining to
proceed with the submission
to the electors levying a tax
renewal of 1.0 mills for emer-
gency medical services.
Council also unanimously
voted to give Mayor Henke
the authority to enter into
agreements with the Paulding
County commissioners for
emergency management
services.
EMS coordinator Chad
Brown told council that the
EMS had been awarded a
$15,000 grant which will be
used for training.
Brown also advised council
that he had asked one of their
suppliers to attend the next
council meeting to demon-
strate a piece of equipment
that would allow EMS per-
sonnel to administer medica-
tions and needed body fluids
into the bone of a patient.
This will be a great help as it
is sometimes difficult to find
a vein capable of being used
for injection of medications.
Brown requested and coun-
cil unanimously approved the
purchase of hooded sweat-
shirts with a reflective safety
stripe for each of the Oak-
wood EMS team.
Mayor Erhard Bud
Henke told council that the
force main water line and
new sanitary sewer pipes are
now installed out to the new

cation. It was necessary to in-
stall another hydrant, but now
that this installation is com-
plete the water and sewer lines
can be tested.

hicle accident (1), assist EMS

Property value appeal
filed against auditor
By DENISE GEBERS
Progress Staff Reporter
PAULDING Antwerp businessman Fritz Ehrhart has filed
an appeal in the Paulding County Common Pleas Court con-
cerning a recent Paulding County Board of Revision decision
concerning some of his property.
Ehrhart Properties Ltd. is the plaintiff in the appeal against
the Paulding County Auditors Office filed June 27. The com-
plaint states the board of revision has over estimated the value
of empty storage buildings in Antwerp Village.
Filed along with the appeal was an appraisal conducted by
local auctioneer and real estate agent Larry Gorrell in January.
Gorrells appraisal put the value of three parcels at $250,000
while the boards estimate for one parcel was $615,500.
Ehrharts appeal claimed market value for the land and build-
ing was $255,000.
Court documents show a request in the change of property
value was made due to a loss of business revenue due to
Dana Corp. bankruptcy. An attachment said that 90 percent
of previous business was lost when Danas bankruptcy resulted
in its moving their sub-manufacturing to locations in Dry
Ridge, Ky. and Mexico.

Trash pick-up concerns discussed by Council
By JOE SHOUSE
Correspondent
PAYNE The Payne Village Coun-
cil met in regular session on Monday,
July 8 with Mayor Terry Smith call-
ing the meeting to order. Council
members heard from Werlor Inc. con-
cerning trash pick up issues while the
EMS received a $5,700 grant for their
department.
Representatives from Werlor Inc.,
the waste management from Defi-
ance, responsible for picking up re-
fuse in Payne, were present to inform
members on some of its regulations
concerning weekly garbage pick up
and to answer any concerns.
Since the signing of its latest con-
tract with Werlor, there have been
some areas of Payne where pick up
was missed for as many as three
weeks.
It just seems like everything was
fine until the new contract took affect.
There have been several residences in
Payne who have been missed on a
regular basis, said Smith.
It was also mentioned that one of
the truck drivers is driving at an ex-
cessive speed inside the village. The
company admitted they have two new
truck drivers for the Payne route and
although its not an excuse, they as-
sured members that such actions will
not be tolerated and every step will be
taken to make the situation better.
In the mean time, garbage pick up
is each Tuesday and residents are
asked to have their refuse at curbside
by 7 a.m. There is a limit of three 30
gallon bags each week and tags can
be purchased by calling Werlor (419-
784-4285) who will mail out the re-
quested amount of tags. In the near
future tags will be made available for
purchase at the village office for $1
per tag.
EMS director Greg Bollenbacher
reported that his department received
a $5,700 grant to be used for training
or patient care equipment. Bollen-
bacher also reported that 20 runs were
made in June.
Smith gave the street committee an
updated list of pot holes and street re-
pairs needed in the village. The com-
mittee will prioritize the list for repair.
Smith also informed the committee of
the ditch on Fairfield that needs cleaned
out where trash is being discarded
along with tree limbs and shrubs.
A motion was made by council
member Kathy Feasby to suspend the
rules, seconded by Eric Gross concern-
ing Resolution 2013-S allowing a trans-
fer from the sewer operating fund to the
OPWC sewer line replacement fund. A
motion by Randy Miller to accept the
resolution, seconded by Ron Schoe-
nauer unanimously passed.
In other business:
Fire Chief Jamie Mansfield re-
ported that Engine 55 received minor
damage on a recent run. However, the
damage is not critical to the trucks per-
formance on future runs.
The work done on the depot located
at the park has been completed.
The next meeting is scheduled at 7
p.m. Monday, July 22, in the confer-
ence room located behind the police
station.
New Arrivals
HOMESPUN
By
JIM LANGHAM
Teddy bears live forever in our hearts
situations that comes to this
sometimes nave Midwest
boy who looks on with in-
trigue and says, Where have
I been all of these years?
Apparently Boyds Bears
were founded by a husband
and wife team, Gary Lowen-
thal and his wife, Justina
Unger, who were owners of
an antique shop in Boyds,
Maryland (there is a clue).
Although their business
was profitable, they felt they
needed something unique and
inviting to attract the public
to their business.
In 1984, they began sculp-
turing with resin; the first
I will never forget my sixth
Christmas when a new friend
came to visit our house. He
has been one continuous
friend that I have had for a
lifetime. Today, he waits for
me in a small study upstairs
in our home. Very few people
know about him these days,
but deep inside he still brings
the little kid out of me. Occa-
sionally, I sneak in, hold him,
and give him a hug, known
only to the heart in my space.
Teddy Bear came to visit
me one cold winter night
when I was in the first grade.
He showed up under an old-
fashioned pine needle Christ-
mas tree with his arms open.
Those arms are still open to
receive the love of a little
boy some 60 years later.
I dont know how old I was
when I stopped taking that
floppy-eared brown and tan
and dark bear to bed with me
at night, but it might have
been later in my childhood
than I might want to admit.
There are still pictures in ex-
istence that show how fasci-
nated my parents were by
their sleeping boy clutching
Teddy as he drifted away into
dreamland.
All of these long ago mem-
ories have been resurrected
by a visit with a close friend
who introduced me to a fasci-
nating collection of bears I
admittedly had never heard of
before in my life.
Boyds Bears are a spe-
cial collection of bears with
different costumes, postures,
boys, girls and even rabbit
bears. It is again one of those
bear was a stuffed bear made
for the couples newborn son,
Matthew. It proved to be such
an instant success that they
began making and selling
stuffed bears which became
known as, Boyds Bears, for
the town of Boyds, Md.
The line of bears became
such a national hit (but totally
evaded yours truly) that today
it has a national club known
as, Loyal Order of Friends
of Boyds Bears! Most of
them can be purchased from
unique shopping sites, includ-
ing a Boyds Bear shopping
site online.
So here I am; two weeks
ago I hadnt heard of Boyds
Bears, now I am thinking of
purchasing my first one, pos-
sibly as a good friend for
Teddy. But more than that, all
of this has taken me back to
my childhood where I can
once again feel the hug of
Teddy as I snuggle in to the
sound of a crackling fire as
our family slept on cold win-
ter nights and I was com-
forted by the safe presence of
my friend, Teddy.

Fish Ohio program rewards
anglers for trophy catches
COLUMBUS Anglers from 36 states and
one Canadian province received 2012 Fish
Ohio awards for big catches at Lake Erie, the
Ohio River, inland waters and private ponds,
according to the Ohio Department of Natural
Resources (ODNR).
The Fish Ohio program recognizes note-
worthy catches among 20 individual species
based on the size of the fish. Anglers who
qualify receive a collectible Fish
Ohio lapel pin and a cer-
tificate to signify the
achievement. Those
who reel in a qual-
ifying fish can
submit an entry to
the Fish Ohio on-
line registration at
fishohio.org.
An individual
who catches four dif-
ferent qualifying species in the same year re-
ceives a master angler pin. The master angler
pin is similar to the Fish Ohio pin, except it is
gold in color instead of silver.
Anglers submitted 12,642 Fish Ohio appli-
cations and 521 master angler applications in
2012. Lake Erie received the most Fish Ohio
entries with 4,090. Private ponds were second
(2,800) and the Ohio River was third (886).
Since Lake Erie was coined the Walleye
Capital of the World by former Ohio Gover-
nor James Rhodes, it is worth noting that Lake
Erie walleye received the most entries for one
species in a single body of water (1,599) in
2012. Lake Erie also had the most entries for
yellow perch, smallmouth bass, largemouth
bass, white bass, rock bass, channel catfish,
freshwater drum, carp and brown trout. The
Ohio River yielded the most flathead catfish,
hybrid striped bass, blue catfish and sauger.
The top inland lakes and rivers in 2012 were
Mosquito Creek Lake (232 entries), the
Maumee River (203) and Alum Creek Lake
(175). Mosquito Creek Lake received the most
entries for northern pike and crappie. Indian
Lake was the top destination for saugeye,
Rocky River produced the most rainbow trout,
West Branch Reservoir had the most muskel-
lunge and Portage Lakes had the most sunfish.
Crappie had the most overall entries in
2012, with 1,771, followed by walleye
(1,727), sunfish (1,673), channel catfish
(1,195) and yellow
perch (972). Go to
fishohio.org to
see more infor-
mation on the best
places to catch big
fish.
More than
450,000 anglers have
received Fish Ohio recog-
nition since the program
began in 1976. The blue catfish was
added as a Fish Ohio species in 2010, bringing
the number of recognized species to 20. A
crappie is featured on the 2012 Fish Ohio pin,
and a brown trout is on the 2013 pin.

A Penny For
Your Thoughts....
By: Nancy Whitaker
OF COURSE I AM ONLY 39
Are you really a blonde?
Well of course I am.
(Yes, it is my hair and it is
blonde.) That is kind of true.
How old are you?
39! (I was at one time.)
How much do you
weigh?
Well, 115 of course. (I
used to be that little.)
Do these kind of answers
constitute a little white lie, an
exaggeration, stretching the
truth, bragging or just inno-
cent answers?
Have you ever heard some-
one telling about a big fish
they caught or a huge deer
they bagged? Sometimes, the
size of the creatures turn out
to be way smaller than what
was described. Is that consid-
ered a lie, a half truth or wish-
ful thinking?
Now, we all know the story
of little George Washington
and how he cut down the
cherry tree. When asked by
his father if he had cut down
the tree, young George
replied, I cannot tell a lie. I
did indeed chop it down.
George must have been an
honest lad, because he risked
getting a spanking to tell the
truth. What would I have
done? Well, first of all, my
mama would have never let
me play with an ax or a
hatchet.
One thing I think all ladies
may lie a little about is how
much money they spend
when shopping. I tend to
round off mine to the nearest
lowest dollar amount. Does
that make me a liar or am I
just trying to hide how much
I really spent?
Is it ever really necessary to
lie about something? Do you
think we can always be truth-
ful about a situation and how
should we handle delicate
questions without hurting
someones feelings?
If someone has a new hair
do and asks you if you like it,
what do you say? What if you
simply hate the new hair
style, but you really do not
want to hurt their feelings?
What do you say?
Now, I know if I cook
something different and my
husband doesnt really like it,
he will say, Well, its okay,
but I wouldnt want to eat it
every day. Hmmmm. Good
answer.
When young children try
and fix their moms breakfast
in bed, there may be a piece
of burnt toast and a glass of
Kool-Aid. Do you pretend it
tastes fantastic or what do
you say as to not hurt your
childs efforts.
In certain scenarios, is it
best to tell a white lie, ignore
the subject or tell the truth
and risk hurting someones
feelings?
I really dont like the term
lie. In fact, I dont care
much for liars. We used to
say, Liar, liar, pants on fire.
Then there is the tale of
Pinocchio, a wooden puppet
whose nose grew long each
time he told a lie. Is that what
we need today?
It seems as if people just up
and tell a bold faced lie, the
truth will come out sooner or
later. However, do you think
that some of our discreet an-
swers constitute a lie? Or
perhaps, do you believe we can
give answers in a way to tell
the truth, but only half of it?
Have you ever told an un-
truth about your age or
weight? If someone cooks
something for you and you do
not like it, what do you say?
Let me know and Ill give
you a Penny For Your
Thoughts.

Poison ivy: an itchy situation
By Mark Holtsberry
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
Most people would not know that toxicoden-
drum radicans is commonly known as poison ivy.
This North American plant is well known for its
production of urushiol, a clear liquid compound
within the sap of the plant that causes itching, ir-
ritation and sometimes painful rash in most people
who touch it.
The plant is not a true ivy. Poison ivy can be
found growing in any of the following forms, as
a trailing vine, as a shrub, as a climbing vine that
grows on trees or some other support.
Poison ivy grows throughout much of North
America, all U.S. states east of the Rocky Moun-
tains. It is normally found in wooded areas, espe-
cially along edge areas where the tree line breaks
and allows sunshine to filter through. It also grows
in exposed rocky areas and in open fields and dis-
turbed areas. It grows in a wide variety of soil
types, and soil ph from 6.0 acidic to 7.9 moderate
alkaline. It is not particularly sensitive to soil
moisture, although it does not grow in desert or
arid conditions. It can grow in areas subject to sea-
sonal flooding or brackish water.
The leaves of poison ivy are trifoliate with three
almond-shaped leaflets. Leaf color ranges from
light green (younger leaves) to dark green (mature
leaves) turning bright red in fall.
Vines growing on the trunk of a tree become
firmly attached through numerous aerial rootlets.
The vines develop adventitious roots, or the plant
can spread from rhizomes or root crowns. The
milky sap of poison ivy darkens after exposure to
the air.
Around 15-30% of people have no allergic re-
action. Most people will become sensitized with
repeated or more concentrated exposure to urush-
iol. Over 350,000 people are affected by poison
ivy annually in the U.S.
If poison ivy is burned and the smoke then in-
haled, this rash will appear on the lining of the
lungs, causing extreme pain and possible fatal res-
piratory difficulty.
A poison ivy rash usually develops within a
week of exposure and can last anywhere from one
to four weeks, depending on severity and treat-
ment. In rare cases, poison ivy reactions may re-
quire hospitalization.
Over-the-counter products to ease itching can
be used but you can use oatmeal baths and baking
soda, as these are now recommended by derma-
tologists for the treatment of poison ivy. Also most
people prefer just getting a shot at the doctors of-
fice.
You can apply rubbing alcohol to your skin to
dissolve poison ivy or poison oak blisters or use
over-the-counter cleanser like Tecnu or Zanfel.
Avoid scratching the rash and blisters. Even
though the rash is not contagious, you could break
the skin and allow bacteria to enter the wound.
Take a lukewarm bath. Use an oatmeal bath prod-
uct or an aluminum acetate soak. Apply topical
creams or lotions. Calamine lotion or hydrocorti-
sone cream can provide some relief from itching.
Make a paste consisting of three parts baking soda
to one part water. Apply the paste to your rash to
pull fluid out of the blisters.
Try bleach. Pour 1/2 cup of bleach into a bath-
tub full of lukewarm water and soak your body,
or mix one teaspoon in a pint of water and apply
it to a cloth to make a compress. Just watch care-
fully to make sure that the bleach doesnt harm
your unaffected skin.
Or even press a chilled watermelon rind against
your rash. The rind acts as a cold compress and
the juice helps to dry out blisters.
Use gasoline as an absolute last resort. Then
wash off gasoline using dish soap. This can help
to dissolve oils from poison ivy or poison oak.
Never go near an open flame if youve applied
gasoline to your rash.
This is why I try to mow and trim back weeds
and overgrowth on trails as well as the park itself.
Have a wonderful walk at the Nature Center Park
and trails.
Can you help us raise the remainder of monies
needed to repave the park driveway? Please call
419-399-4771 and help restore the parking lot.
Amstutz awaits kidney for transplant
VAN WERT Terry Am-
stutz of Van Wert is in need of
a live donor kidney transplant.
Amstutz, a teacher who had
dedicated his life to working
with challenged students, has
one kidney which is no longer
functioning and the other on
the verge of shutting down.
He has been on peritoneal
dialysis for over three years
and is now doing two manual
exchanges of one hour each
and nine hours on a nighttime
cycler for a total of 11 hours a
day, seven days a week. This
has caused some of his other
organs to become compro-
mised; he has had open-heart
surgery with four bypasses.
After working as a parapro-
fessional/teacher for over 21
years, with 19 at Western
Buckeye, Amstutz has found it
necessary to take a disability
retirement from the Ohio
school system.
Unfortunately, the need for
organs is far greater than the
supply, and a better option is
for the patient to receive a kid-
ney from a living donor. At
Fort Wayne Lutheran Kidney
Center, over 52 percent of the
transplants are from living
donors.
According to information
from the hospital, a kidney from
a living donor is in good condi-
tion because donors are given
an extensive evaluation, does
not require preservation time, is
walked from one operating
room to another, and can be
working in its new location in
30 minutes. Transplants can be
scheduled at the convenience of
everyone involved.
The safety of the donor is of
utmost importance. He/she will
be evaluated by a specialist to
confirm suitability and safety
for donation and surgery. Do-
nating a kidney does not cause
illness or disease. Once the
donor recovers from surgery,
he/she can return to a normal
lifestyle. According to a recent
study, the life expectancy of
living donors is the same or
longer as if they had not do-
nated. The remaining single
kidney is able to meet the
bodys needs very well; it actu-
ally enlarges to handle the
work formerly shared by both
kidneys.
The operation may be done
as laparoscopic surgery, with a
smaller incision, a shorter hos-
pital stay, and a faster recovery.
The typical hospital stay for a
living kidney donor is two to
four days. As with any surgery,
there are possible risks; how-
ever, these are reduced by the
extensive evaluation done on
all donors.
There is no out-of-pocket
cost for the living donor. All
fees are covered.
For more information about
donating a kidney to Terry Am-
stutz or someone else in need,
or to talk with a staff member
in the Pre-Transplant Center,
call 260-435-7708 or 1-800-
444-2001, ext. 6275 (Valerie).
Amstutz is hoping for a sec-
ond chance at life. He asks
everyone interested to consider
living donation.

The Paulding Progress &
Weekly Reminder
QUESTION: How can I
motivate my two lazy
teenagers? They wont help
me around the house. As a
single mom, I dont have
the energy to make them
get to work. Is there a way
to break this negative pat-
tern?
JIM: Being a single parent
is tough. (My own mom
would have attested to this!)
Especially when the kids are
being uncooperative. Unfor-
tunately, even though youre
exhausted, you need to estab-
lish clear rules and guidelines
for your teens and then be
prepared to enforce them.
You might start by employ-
ing what psychologists call
Premacks principle, which
states that preferred behaviors
can be used to reinforce un-
preferred behaviors.
For example, explain to
your kids that leisure activi-
ties (TV, Xbox, going out
with friends, etc.) will be off-
limits until homework and
household chores are com-
pleted.
Sit down with them before
implementing this system,
and explain your love for
them and your desire for them
to learn responsibility. Let
them know that, as members
of the household, they need to
contribute to the overall func-
tionality of your home.
Once youve established
these rules, its imperative
that you follow through. Stick
with it, even when you dont
feel like being tough. Dont
allow yourself to get sucked
into arguments about the finer
points of the new standards.
To avoid this, wed suggest
that you put everything in
writing. Draw up a contract
that clearly spells out both the
rules and the rewards. Each
of you should sign your
names to the contract and
post it on the refrigerator.
If you stick to the plan
faithfully for a few weeks,
you should start to see some
positive changes in your
teenagers behavior.
QUESTION: How can I
keep marriage a priority
when it takes everything
Ive got to keep the house-
hold running? Being a stay-
at-home mom of small
children isnt easy, but I
dont want to neglect my
husband.
DR. GREG SMALLEY,
vice president of family min-
istries: There are many
women who can relate to
your frustrations. For all its
joys, keeping up with young
kids can be a daunting chal-
lenge, too. No one could fault
you for being physically and
emotionally spent by the time
your husband arrives home at
the end of the day.
Nevertheless, as you know,
your marriage is vitally im-
portant. Its the foundation on
which your childrens welfare
depends. Here are a few sug-
gestions for keeping romance
alive in spite of the stresses of
parenthood:
When your husband comes
home from work, let him
know that youre happy to see
him. Dont greet him with a
laundry list of complaints or
honey-dos before hes
crossed the threshold.
Demonstrate your love with a
heartfelt embrace. Dont
allow the kids or the family
dog to be the most excited
ones to see him.
Give him a few moments to
unwind if possible. And even
when youre exhausted, make
an effort to show interest in
his world. Do you know
whats happening at his work-
place? Hell feel affirmed if
youre as interested in his
days events as you would
like him to be in yours.
Also, schedule some unin-
By Jim Daly
terrupted couple time. Take
the initiative to clear a night,
arrange childcare and make
some plans. You dont have to
wait for your husband to get
the ball rolling. Regular date
nights are critical.
Finally, remember that men
are affirmed by a positive
sexual response from their
wives, just as women are by
thoughtful gestures from their
husbands. Your husband will
feel loved and honored when
you initiate sex, especially if
he realizes that youve had to
plan carefully for intimate
time with him at the end of a
busy, tiring day.

ple want to advertise. In bad
times they have to. Learn how

Winning the Battle for a Generation
By Rick Jones
exec. director, Defiance
Area Youth for Christ
Are you stressed out at work? I read an article
in PreachingToday.com regarding Americans
being stressed out at work. Nearly 70 percent
of Americans cite work as a major source of
stress in their lives; over half of Americans report
being unsatisfied and unhappy with their jobs.
How can the typical worker find a little more
satisfaction in work? Adam Grant, a researcher
at the Wharton School of Business, offers some
simple advice: become a giver at work.
Based on his research, Grant has identified
three basic kinds of workers: takers, matchers,
and givers. Takers see the workplace as a com-
petitive, dog-eat-dog place. If I dont look out
for myself first, takers think, no one will.
Matchers believe that work relationships are
governed by even exchanges of favors. In con-
trast, givers are other-focused, paying more at-
tention to what other people need from them.
Their hallmark is generosity at work.
Surprisingly, Grant has found that only 8 per-
cent of people describe themselves as givers at
work. Thats because most people assume that
in the workplace givers will never get ahead in
their career. Also, when people are stressed out
at work, their first instinct is to retreat into a taker
mentality.
But Grants research consistently shows that
givers are among the most successful people in
business. They may also be the happiest.
In one study, Grant found that givers who
were high school teachers were less vulnerable
to stress and exhaustion if they saw the impact
their giving was having on their students.
Being a giver at work also has lasting benefits
on well-being outside of work. In a study of 68
firefighters, those who helped others on the job
felt happier at home at bedtime than those who
did not.
Grant asks a question thats relevant to every
follower of Christ: Would you rather achieve
success [at work] that comes at the expense of
others or in ways that lift other people up?
What a great question! We are also reminded
in scripture how we are to carry out our work
Colossians 3:23 (NIV), 23 Whatever you do,
work at it with all your heart, as working for the
Lord, not for men
Let all of us endeavor to give something back
in our work this week; something encouraging
to our fellow employees, our employers and
something that brings glory to God. Amen!

Division change coming for 3 schools
OHSAA announces new divisions for high school football
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
In recent weeks the Ohio High School Ath-
letic Association (OHSAA) released its school
enrollment numbers that determine what divi-
sion a school will participate in a particular
fall sport. Enrollment numbers are based on
the number of students in grades 9, 10, 11 as
of October 2012 and will be used for the 2013-
14 and 2014-15 athletic seasons.
This year, in football, with the addition of a
seventh division, most teams will be placed in
a new division. In the Paulding County area
many of the area schools will drop a division
and play in either division VI or division VII,
the smallest division. Paulding High School is
the lone exception with the Panthers playing
in division IV.

Panthers to face Bryan
today in ACME districts
Paulding advanced to the ACME district
tournament for the first time in several years
as the Panthers defeated Fairview 2-1 in 11 in-
nings to punch their district ticket.
Kyle Kauser scored the game-winning run
on a wild pitch in the top of the 11th as the ma-
roon and white avenged an earlier loss in the
district tourney.
Paulding scored a single run in the sixth to
knot the game at 1-1 after Fairview opened the
scoring in the bottom of the fifth. The two
squads then went scoreless before Kauser
crossed the plate in the 11th.
Damon Egnor got the win on the hill for the
local squad, keeping the Apaches hitless and
scoreless in one inning of work. Treston Gon-
zales threw 10 innings for the Panthers, scat-
tering three Fairview hits while striking out a
dozen Apache hitters.
Corbin Edwards had three singles for Pauld-
ing with Egnor adding a single and a double.
The Panthers (20-5) now play at Defiance
in a 5:30 p.m. contest against Bryan today,
July 10.
PAULDING 13 TINORA 4
Paulding posted an earlier victory over
Tinora as the Panthers rolled to a 13-4 win.
Javier Gonzales recorded the win on the
hill, allowing nine hits while fanning six in six
innings of work. Damon Egnor pitched the
final inning.
Treston Gonzales had a double and two sin-
gles for Paulding with Quentin Vance and
Corbin Edwards adding a single and a double
each.
PAULDING 7 AYERSVILLE 2
The Panthers defeated Ayersville 7-2 behind
three singles from Vance and Edwards along
with two singles each by Treston Gonzales
and Alex Arellano.
Paulding plated two runs in the second and
three more in the third to take control. The ma-
roon and white added two more in the seventh
to seal the victory.

MAC Gym goes worldwide
ANTWERP The McLaughlin Athletic Center (MAC)

Upcoming leagues, tournaments, schedules, rules and other
information is being posted and updated to provide current and
potential customers the opportunity to know up to the minute
what is happening at both the MAC Gym and K&S Tumblefit.
Please check out the website and support the sponsors noted
on the sponsor page.

RIVER STREET MARKET IS MORE THAN A SMALL-TOWN GROCERY The village of Antwerp
found itself without a grocery store for a brief time in the early spring. When the former Kammeyers
IGA was purchased by Doug and Lisa Bragg, the store remained closed for approximately six weeks.
The Braggs, who also own the Oasis Bar and Grill in downtown Antwerp, used the time to update the
interior and to make improvements to make the establishment brighter and more inviting. The store,
now called River Street Market, has been open just over two months and according to assistant man-
ager Coni Gaisford, who has served the store for 21 years, everything is going as expected. I think
being closed during those few weeks forced the locals to shop elsewhere, and when we opened, our
customers would take a basket to shop. Now when they come in we notice more folks using carts and
making more purchases, Gaisford said. Bragg retained most of the former employees and has 18
working at the store at this time. Besides Gaisford, and produce manager is Wendy Zuber (above),
who has worked at the store for 18 years. The produce section has a wide variety of fresh fruits and
vegetables that are well displayed. The meat department offers an array of fresh cut meats with veteran
meat cutter Barry Hook ready to customize your order. In the near future, a small bistro style caf has
been leased and will offer coffee and a variety of pastries. Currently the store is open every day from
8 a.m.-8 p.m.
A production of the Broadway hit musical Chicago will be presented by CCBanks Productions
in Hicksville from July 26-28. The cast includes Ty Lee and Rachel Banks, both of Antwerp, Brian
Shetterly of Fort Wayne and Abigail Hill of Edon.
Chicago musical on stage in July
HICKSVILLE Get ready to be entertained
on July 26-28 CCBanks Productions will be
bringing you the musical Chicago at the Huber
Opera House in Hicksville.
Chicago has everything that makes Broad-
way great: a universal tale of fame, fortune and
all that jazz; one show-stopping song after an-
other and the best dancing youve seen. This six-
time Tony-winning Broadway hit holds the
record for the longest running American musical
in Broadway history.
In roaring twenties Chicago, Roxie Hart
(played by Rachel Banks, Antwerp), an ambi-
tious chorus girl, murders her lover. She then
convinces her gullible husband, Amos (Brian
Shetterly of Fort Wayne), that her lover was a
burglar. Amos agrees to take the rap until the po-
lice convince him that the burglar was in fact
Roxies lover.
Thus, Roxie goes to jail and joins another fa-
mous stage performer and murderess, Velma
Kelly (Abigail Hill, Edon). Both Roxie and
Velma are headline hunters seeking to capitalize
on pretrial publicity for the sake of acquittal and
stage careers.
In the end their slick lawyer, Billy Flynn (Ty
Lee, Antwerp), manages to get both Roxie and
Velma free.
Full of well known chorus numbers such as
All That Jazz, Cell Block Tango, Razzle
Dazzle and We Both Reached For The Gun
as well as amazing choreography by Cathy Ann
Vogel from the Cathy Ann Dance Studio in
Auburn, Ind. and Beth Wisecup of the Five Star
Dance Academy in Hicksville.
We were blessed with a great cast wonder-
ful voices and actors with years of dance train-
ing, says Chris Banks, director of Chicago.
This project has been a very rewarding experi-
ence and I am so excited to be bringing this pro-
duction to the Huber.
Chicago will be running at 8 p.m. July 26
and 27 with an option of dinner theater starting
at 7 p.m. Dinner reservations must be made in
advance and are $28 for dinner and show. Dinner
is catered by Grants Catering of Antwerp.
Regular seating is $15 for advance sales and
$18 at the door.
Sundays performance is at 2 p.m.
For more information or to order tickets, call

Chance for Chase benefit
raises $16,500
PAYNE Organizers of the Chance for
Chase fundraiser held recently were over-
whelmed by the turnout.
An estimated 1,000 people took part in the
June 29 event at the Payne American Legion
Hall. Between 40 and 50 volunteers ran the
15-hour event.
The following day a 24-team four-man
bowling tournament was conducted at Pro
Bowl West in Fort Wayne.
Before expenses, proceeds from the benefits
and other donations totaled $16,500. This
money will be used toward expenses incurred
to care for 6-year-old Chase Holt of Payne
who has been diagnosed with neurofibromato-
sis type II.
The disease has no cure and according to his
dad, Chris, treatment options are limited to ex-
perimental drugs. It is characterized by the
growth of noncancerous tumors in the nervous
system.
Chase is on a schedule to monitor tumor ac-
tivity with MRIs at Dayton Childrens Hospi-
tal every three months. His next appointment,
on July 15, will be the first at which the family
will meet with oncologists for consultation.
Discussion will center on possible courses of
action, including clinical trials which are con-
ducted in St. Louis and Washington, D.C.
We want to thank everybody, said Chris,
all the community and all the sponsors. The
funds raised will be used for Chases medical
bills and trips to specialists.
Good Times Saloon in Payne is sponsoring
a poker run on Aug.10. Details of this
fundraiser can be obtained by calling Mike
Denning at 419-263-2339.

family, people may go to

My life changed forever when I found out I had stage 3 breast cancer.
The people at Mercy Deance had tears in their eyes when they gave
me my diagnosis and wasted no time getting me into surgery. After
that, I had my cancer treatment. And again, the people at Mercy were
unbelievably caring and made a bad experience as good as it possibly
could be. Today, Im cancer-free. Im Cindy, and Mercy gets me.
