PAULDING Farmers still
talk about the 2010 reappraisal
of their farmlands that resulted
in increases in real estate taxes,
some more than double.
The triennial update of 2013
promises to be another mile-
stone of sorts as Paulding
County farm owners will again
see the numbers rise on their
tax bills come January.
Paulding County is one of
23 counties statewide that will
see an adjustment in their cur-
rent agricultural use valuation
(CAUV) values due to
changes in soil values set by
the Ohio Department of
Taxation.
According to Paulding
County Auditor Claudia
Fickel, counties are on a six-
year rotation for real estate
reappraisals with a triennial
update set midway through the
cycle.
Her office recently received
a new list of Paulding County
soil values from the state. With
the exception of quarries/pits,
all 63 soil types in the county
have been upgraded.
Knowing the prices are
going up, people are con-
cerned, said Fickel. We have
had a few calls. We are able to
show the increase in soil value,
but unable to show the estimat-
ed taxes until approved by the
state.
Fickel noted that her office
will not be able to give esti-
mates of the new tax bill
amounts due to several tax
levies appearing on the
General Election in November.
She said that by the time the
election results have been cer-
tified by the board of elections,
sent to the state where effective
rates are calculated then re-
turned to her office for taxes to
be calculated it will be nearly
time to send out the tax bills.
She said the new valuations
for the soil types will be en-
tered into their computer sys-
tem in the next few weeks.
After Nov. 1 she expects
landowners to be able to check
their new valuation on her of-
fices website: www.paulding-
countyauditor.com
This change comes from
the state and is basically driven
by the market, the Auditor
said.
Fickel stressed that for peo-
ple enrolled in the CAUV pro-
gram, the market value of the
soil is not taxed. Instead the
soil rate is used to calculate
taxes. She did note, however,
that the lands value is part of
the complicated formula used
by the state to determine the
soil values.
Paulding County clay (Pc) is
the countys dominant soil type
comprising 26 percent (69,741
acres) of the county. The valu-
ation was raised from $670 per
acre to $1,600 per acre for crop
land and $850 for woods.
Latty silty clay (Lc) makes
up nearly another quarter of the
county at 23.1 percent (62,040
acres). Values for this type in-
creased from $980 per acre to
$2,110 an acre for cropland
and $1,360 for woods.

PAULDING The John
Paulding Historical Society
will be hosting a beer and
food pairing and it is a brand
new event for them. The
beer and food pairing will be
held from 7-10 p.m.,
Saturday, Oct. 5 in Barn 2 at
the museum. Did you know
that the oldest recipes for
beer were written on stone
over 5,000 years ago?
Ashley Olwin Doctor and
her husband are the organiz-
ers of the event. Doctor said,
My husband and I got the
idea after attending the wine
and cheese fundraiser at the
museum this spring.
Although we both en-
joyed the evening and would
come back again, neither of
us are wine drinkers and al-
ways choose beer over wine.
We knew there had to be
other beer drinkers like us.
So, get ready to try some
beer as there will be eight ta-
bles each showcasing three
different craft beers, and, of
course, there will be food to
compliment the beer. The
full menu will include
gumbo, brats, sliders,
cheesecake and more.
Doctor said, We have
been blessed with eight table
donors. Each table donor
sponsors a food sample and
three beers that have been
specifically picked to work
well with that food.
Each guest will be given a
certain amount of tasting
tickets and then can pick and
choose which beers they
want to taste from each
table.
Doctor also noted, We
are showcasing crafts brews
from all over the world. No
discrimination. As they are
craft brews, they do lean on
the more expensive side, but
that isnt a prerequisite for
inclusion on our list. We
have had some questions on
the home brews. We will not
be offering any home brews
this year, but would be a
great idea for next year. Beer
will be served in sampling
cups and guests will not be
given a full 12 ounces.
Brian Martin, owner of
Puckerbrush Pizzeria, is a
brew-master and has been
choosing the beers and the
food. The logistics and struc-
ture of the beer and food
tasting will not follow that of
the wine tasting in that it will
be a more casual affair.
The entertainment will be
live music by Josh
Dennings band, Corduroy
Road.
Pre-sale tickets are avail-
able for $20 each and at the
door for $25 each. Tickets
are limited, so we encourage
community members to get
their tickets early. This will
help us better estimate how
much food and beer to
bring, said Doctor.
Tickets can be purchased
at the museum on Tuesdays

new beer/food
pairing event

call for it right now, but we usually
experience our first heavy frost
around Oct. 10 with a killing frost oc-
curring a few days later, McCoy
said.
Most of the state of Indiana and
parts of western Ohio are now rated as
abnormally dry, said the weather
specialist, with a strip of moderate
drought occurring through central
Illinois and Indiana.
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
Weather specialist Rick McCoy
said that area farmers should be back
in business for an extended period of
harvest over the next several days.
Rains of this weekend have long
passed and there is no signs of precip-
itation any time soon McCoy said late
Sunday night.
Our country is still quite dry, with
various forms of drought still persist-
ing over the western two-thirds of the
nation, said McCoy. This area has
experienced quite a change in weath-
er pattern since early July. We are in a
pattern much more similar to what we
experienced last summer, moisture
wise.
Some people are fooled when we
have some rain, but in dry to drought
periods, rain still falls, but in much
less quantities, continued McCoy.
We may get rain but it will amount to
about half of what we would receive
under normal circumstances.
McCoy said that the National
Weather Service projects that temper-
atures will be from normal to slightly
above normal for the first half of
October. Normal highs have now low-
ered to the upper 60s and will drop to
the middle 50s by the first of
November.
Normal lows, said McCoy, have
now fallen to the mid to upper 40s
with normal range falling to the 30s
by the end of the October.

live music were just some of
the many activities slated
during the annual Flat Rock

From Staff Reports
PAULDING The Paulding Progress is
teaming up with the Paulding County Carnegie
Library to point out the importance of battling
illiteracy in the local community by taking part
in the Read One Program.
The project began in 2011 in Van Wert
County, but now eight newspapers and library
systems in Ohio and Indiana are taking part in
the program.
Approximately one in five U.S. adults (21%)
cannot read above the fourth grade level and
are considered
functionally illiter-
ate. Illiteracy also
translates to a high-
er likelihood of
needing food
stamps or earning
below the poverty
level. A person
who is functionally
illiterate is also
more likely to end
up in jail or be on
welfare. (See last
weeks article for
more on the importance of literacy.)
The Van Wert Times Bulletin started the Read
One Program to point out the value of literacy.
Too many of our young people and adults
struggle economically and sociologically be-
cause of the inability to read at a functional
level and this is something we can all work to
change, said Progress publisher Doug Nutter.
It is easy for Paulding County residents to
take part in the Read One Program.
Simply choose at least one book to read dur-
ing the month of October. At the end of the
month, email the title of the book(s) and the au-
thor(s), the readers contact information and
whether the reader is a student or adult, to
progress@progressnewspaper.org or drop your
title or list by the Progress offices or at the
Paulding County Carnegie Library or any of its
branches.
In the first week of November, all of the ti-
tles will be compiled and a list will be pub-
lished in an edition of the newspaper and on-
line. The name of the reader will not be pub-
lished.
Participants will automatically be entered
into a drawing to win one of two free one-year
print or online subscriptions to the Progress.
One prize will be award to an adult participant,
and one for a student participant will be award-
ed to the students
school classroom.
During the first
year of the pro-
gram in Van Wert
County, a total of
49 different titles
read, but that num-
ber jumped to 114
in the second year.
Even more encour-
aging were the
number of YA and
childrens books
involved as parents
took the time to make sure their children par-
ticipated by being read to or reading them-
selves.
To start off October and the Read One
Program on the right foot, the Paulding County
Carnegie Library will be providing a list of the
most checked out books in several categories;
check our website and next weeks Progress.
Library staff members are ready to help read-
ers make the perfect selection.
We can recommend a lot of wonderful titles
I can guarantee we will find a book that will
interest even the reluctantest (is that a word?)
of readers, said library director Susan Pieper.

PAULDING Recent l y
named head wrestling Coach
Tony Gonzales is a hometown
product who never did ven-
ture far from home.
However, the 2006
Paulding graduate has gone
full circle and is returning to
his high school alma mater to
coach wrestling, a sport he
loves and a sport he declares
is his life.
Im excited about the op-
portunity. Paulding is home to
me and I am looking forward
to building a program that is
already strong, but can be
even better, he said.
Gonzales left his mark in
the PHS wrestling program as
a student athlete with a trip to
the OHSAA state tournament
in 2006 where he took sev-
enth place in the heavy weight
class.
Following a successful high
school career, Gonzales set
his sites on college and at-
tended Heidelberg University
in Tiffin, with plans to wrestle
at the college level.
Unfortunately, he fractured a
neck vertebra forcing him to
end his competitive wrestling
career.
Gonzales continued his ed-
ucation at Heidelberg where
he graduated with a criminal
justice degree. For the past
two years, he has served as
the head wrestling coach at
Defiance College and as the
full-time probation officer for
Paulding County.
Its a dream come true for
me to return to PHS and
coach wrestling, said
Gonzales.
Knowing that his first pri-
ority is his job as a probation
officer, Gonzalez had to work
out the details with Judge
Suzanne Rister in order for
him to be considered for the
coaching position.
I cant say enough about
Judge Rister. She is my boss
and she was one hundred per-
cent in favor of this. I really
cant express how kind she
has been through this process.
I am so appreciative to her,
Gonzales commented.
Although Tony has been
away from Paulding wrestling
to some degree, he still knows
the program well. As a coach
at Defiance, I was always
looking at Paulding wrestlers
and possible recruits.
Former coach Josh
Neilson made this a very
strong program and I am ec-
static about the season and
Paulding wrestling, he said.
When looking at what he
brings to the table as a head
coach, he is quick to answer.
First of all, I was a com-
petitive athlete and I know
what it takes to win. I went to
the state tournament and to
push these kids to their poten-
tial is the key, he said.

(Keller), from Ottoville, re-
side in Paulding with their 5-
month old daughter, Braelyn.

ANTWERP Following
the September fundraising
project Paint the Town
Pink, designed to bring
awareness to cancer the
Antwerp Community
Development Committee
(ACDC) is gearing up for its
sixth annual Big Hole Golf
Tournament this week end
and the haunted walk and
hayride for late October.
ACDC committee member
Tina Conley is chairing this
years golf outing scheduled
for this Saturday, Sept. 28 at
the Pond-a-River golf course
near Woodburn. The ACDC is
looking for more teams to par-
ticipate in the event.
The four-person scramble
fee is $42 per person and in-
cludes a T-shirt, food and 18
holes of golf. At the conclu-
sion of the tournament cash
prizes will be awarded. Those
with questions or wanting to
participate will need to call
Tina Conley at 419-506-0170.
The ACDC held its first
haunted walk and hayride last
year and this year they expect
an even larger turnout to the
community event. The haunt-
ed walk and hayride will be
held in conjunction with the
villages Trick-or-Treat night
on Saturday, Oct. 26. Antwerp
Trick-or-Treat is scheduled to
run from 5:30-7 p.m.
Pete Vail, chairman for the
haunted walk and hayride
said, The haunted walk will
be begin at 7:30 and will last
until 10 p.m. We plan to have
eight rooms displaying the
ghoulish sights and sounds of
Halloween.
The walk will be held at
Riverside Park and will be
under roof at one of the shelter
pavilions to allow the walk to
progress rain or shine.
There will be a kiddy
hayride at 8:30 p.m. with an
adult hayride at 10:30 p.m.
The cost is $2 for the kiddy
ride and $5 for the adult ride.
Vail stressed that the adult
hayride will be made avail-
able for adults only and there-
fore a kiddy hayride is being
provided for earlier in the
evening.
Loading and unloading for
the hayrides will take place at
the park. Refreshments will be
available including hot choco-
late, apple cider and smores
around the bonfire.
Reservations for the adult
hayride are highly suggested
by calling Pete Vail at 260-
316-3060.
The turnout last year was
beyond our expectations, he
said. This year we plan to
have six wagons in order to
accommodate everyone.
According to Vail, last year
was a very cold night but a fun
night with wonderful partici-
pation from the community.
Many of our ACDC proj-
ects deal with fundraising, but
this is one of the projects we
do as a community service
project, said Vail.
Recently the ACDC in-
stalled four new Welcome to
Antwerp signs at the edge of
town. A few months ago they
placed a new Antwerp Archer
sign on south Ohio 49 near the
football field. Landscaping
near the sign was competed
recently and plans for another
Archer sign is in the works
and will be placed near the
school.
or by calling Kim Sutton at
419-399-2388; Ashley Doctor
at 419-406-0911; or at the
Puckerbrush Pizzeria at 419-
263-2626.
All proceeds will go to the
John Paulding Historical
Society to support the mission
of preserving the past for the
future.
The museum is located
across from the fairgrounds at
600 Fairgrounds Drive, in
Paulding.
This event is made possible
by local businesses and agen-
cies that have paid a sponsor-
ship fee for a table.
That moderate drought
area is part of a much larger
pattern of moderate to severe
drought still hovering over
much of the western two-
thirds of the country, said
McCoy. That whole drought
area is threatening to move
back into the Midwest.
Just because there could be
a couple of rains doesnt
mean that drought conditions
arent prevalent, McCoy said.
One indication of that truth is
the fact that most of Colorado
is still rated as under some
type of drought, in spite of re-
cent severe flooding.
The key is not what is
happening on the short term,
but what continues to happen
over a long period of time,
said McCoy.
For the present, farmers
should be encouraged, be-
cause it looks like substantial-
ly good harvest weather is re-
turning, and probably over a
long period of time, McCoy
said.
Most of this week is pre-
dicted to be sunny with highs
in the mid to upper 70s,
McCoy said. Hoytville silty clay (Ht)
makes up 15.5 percent of the
county (40,490 acres).
Formerly valued at $1,350 an
acre, it has been raised to
$2,850 per acre for cropland
and $1,850 for woodlands.
Nappanee silty clay loam
(NpA) comprises 6.4 percent
of the county (17,199 acres).
Its value increased from $570
an acre to $1,520 an acre for
cropland and is set for $520 in
woodlands.
Roselms silty clay loam
(RoA) makes up 4.9 percent of
the county (13,088 acres). The
value for it went up from $200
per acre to $560 per acre for
crop land and $230 for wooded
areas.
Fifteen soil types had the
smallest increase, going up
$150 per acre. Most of these
went from $200 to $350 for
crop land and $230 for woods.
Most of these types each ac-
counts for a range of 0.1 to 0.2
percent of the county acreage
with the exception of three
Roselms types: RoB (0.3),
RpA (1.3) and RpB2 (0.4).
Greatest jump in value was
seen in mermill (Me) and mill-
grove, t-subst (Mg) soil types,
in an amount of $1,670 per
acre. Valuation moved from
$1,550 to $3,220 for crop lands
and $2,220 for woodlands.
There are 1,024 acres of merill
and 66 acres of millgrove in
the county.
Quarries (0.1% of the coun-
ty, 392 acres) and water (0.9%
of the county, 2,328 acres) both
are listed as market value in
both 2010 and 2013.
A type called udorthents,
clay, hilly (0.5% of the coun-
ty, 1,207 acres) was moved
from $200 to market value for
this update. It is unknown if
that is an increase or decrease.
All other types of soil in the
county show up in 2% or less
increments of the overall
acreage.
CAUV was enacted by Ohio
voters in 1972 as an amend-
ment to the state constitution. It
allows qualified agricultural
land to be valued at its current
land use value rather than fair
market value.
The home, home site and
outbuildings are still valued at
fair market value.
CAUV is determined for
each soil type by a complicated
formula at the state level. It
uses capitalization of the typi-
cal net income from agricultur-
al crops on a given parcel of
land assuming typical manage-
ment, cropping patterns, and
yields for the types of soil pres-
ent on the tract.
Qualified parcels of land
must, for three consecutive
years, be 10 or more acres of
land devoted exclusively to
commercial agricultural use;
or, if under ten acres of land de-
voted to agricultural use, the
farm must produce at least
$2,500 in average yearly gross
income.
The Ohio Farm Bureau
Federation is holding a series
of online meetings for its
members to learn more about
the CAUV program and how
soil valuations are calculated.
OFBF director of legal educa-
tion Leah Curtis will speak and
take questions.
They are set from 7-8 p.m.
on Oct. 9, Oct. 21 and Nov. 12.
The meetings are free, but reg-
istration is required. This may
be done by visiting their web-
site at http://ofb.ag/ofbfwe-
bevents.
Not all, but a majority of
farmers in the county partici-
pate in the CAUV program. It
is not known what percentage
does. Those who are not partic-
ipants of the program pay taxes
on the fair market value of their
lands.
Applications for CAUV are
available from the county audi-
tor. Applications can be picked
in the office the first Monday
in January through the first
Monday in March, or on the
auditors website, or if there is
a change in ownership.
Fickel noted that landown-
ers participating in the CAUV
program will continue to pay
taxes at a reduced rate com-
pared to regular market value
in spite of the new increases.

Working Hard for You
The Amish Cook
By: Lovina Eicher
from helping Emma, the
neighbor boy ran over to let
Joe know he spotted the calf.
Joe, Benjamin and Joseph
took off to try to capture it.
When they got closer the
calf took off, but Benjamin
was able to catch up with it,
wrestle it to the ground and
took a rope and held it down
until Joe and Joseph caught
up.
So, now five days later it is
finally back in our barn and
looks like its still doing okay.
We had almost given up that
we would ever see it again. I
think Joe and I will sleep
much better tonight knowing
that calf is back in the barn. It
was also a worry that it could
get out on a road and cause an
accident.
The reason Joe wanted the
calves to feed out, is that we are
getting 400 bushels of corn that
we are trading with a nearby
farmer for our beans.
Whenever the calves get
big enough, we will keep one
or two to butcher for our beef
and sell the rest. I told the
children not to give the calves
names or to make pets out of
them, because they will be
our food someday.
I still remember when I
was a young girl at home dad
butchered one of our old milk
cows named Whitey.
Some of us children had a
hard time eating the beef that
year, because we used to milk
Whitey and we didnt want to
We feel blessed to have re-
ceived some much needed
rain tonight. It wasnt that
much, but it will help. We
havent had any rain in quite
some time, so everything was
dry.
Today, daughters, Susan
and Verena, and I went to sis-
ter Emmas house to assist
them in preparing for the up-
coming church services they
will host at their house. Lord
willing daughters Elizabeth
and Susan will be baptized
that day. Susans special
friend, Mose, will also be
baptized with them. What a
blessing to see them want to
accept Jesus Christ as their
Savior.
Last Friday, we had four
calves delivered here. All
four together weighed 785
lbs. We put them in the barn.
When Joe came home, he
moved them to an outside
pen. With it being a new
place to the calves, they were
pretty wild and two of them
escaped through the fence.
Joe and Susan were able to
catch one, but the other one
took off for the woods behind
us. Joe and the children and
some of our neighbors looked
all over and only heard from
one person that saw it.
After three hours of search-
ing, they finally gave up. In
the next few days Joe and the
boys kept looking and no sign
of the calf.
Before we came home
eat her.
When daughter, Elizabeth,
was younger and she saw us
butcher chickens, it dawned
on her that thats where
chicken comes from. It took
her a long time before she
could eat chicken again.
Thats farm life, I guess.
Pumpkin season will soon
be here. Try this fudge:
PUMPKIN FUDGE
3 cups white sugar
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla ex-
tract
1 cup milk
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup butter
Butter or grease one 8x8-
inch pan. In a 3-quart
saucepan, mix together sugar,
milk, corn syrup, pumpkin
and salt. Bring to a boil over
high heat, stirring constantly.
Reduce heat to medium and
continue boiling. Do not stir.
When mixture registers
232 F (110 C) on candy
thermometer, or forms a soft
ball when dropped into cold
water, remove from pan from
heat. Stir in pumpkin pie
spice, vanilla and butter.
Cool to lukewarm (110 F
or 43 C) on candy ther-
mometer.) Beat mixture until
it is very thick and loses some
of its gloss. Quickly pour into
a greased 8x8-inch pan.
When firm, cut into 36
squares.

Commissioners pass resolutions
The Paulding County com-
missioners met on Sept. 11.
Tony Zartman moved to
adopt a resolution directing the
county auditor to amend 2013
appropriations by the follow-
ing: General Fund/Sheriff/Sup-
plies/Jail/Outhousing i n
the amount of $100,000; Ex-
tension Center/Refunds in the
amount of $522.01.
Another resolution was
passed requiring that all public
monies be deposited with the
treasurer or the properly desig-
nated depository within 24
hours of collection by an offi-
cial of public office.
If the amount exceeds
$1,000 or a lesser amount and
cannot be safeguarded, the
public official must then de-
posit the money on the next
business day; now there is a
policy allowing public monies
collected within 24 hours and
less than $1,000 to be held and
deposited no later than three
business days after receiving,
provided the receipts can be
safeguarded.
The county auditor was di-
rected to create new line items
in funds to track the reimburse-
ment from Workers Compen-
sation.
Sheriff Jason Landers pre-
sented his 2013 projections as
of Sept. 4. With the increase in
the average of inmates, the jail
supply/outhousing line item
will fall short of its appropria-
tion. The sheriff reported re-
cently exchanging several
weapons for new 40 caliber
Glocks to be distributed to his
deputies, at no additional ex-
pense. He noted he has been
monitoring supply purchases
closely to maintain fiscal re-
sponsibility.
Claudia Fickel and Lou Ann
Wannemacher reported the
county audit will be a bidding
process next year.
Aaron Timm reported a
rollover accident involving an
asphalt truck. There were no
serious injuries, but the truck
will no doubt be considered to-
taled.
The commissioners re-
quested signs be made for the
new parking lot. Timm noted
the grassy parking lot north of
the fairgrounds will be
mowed for the Flat Rock
Creek Festival and fill dirt
will be applied next week.
Judge John DeMuth met
with the commissioners to
discuss the policy on making
deposits. Once the commis-
sioners adopt a policy, other
offices may adopt it as their
own.
Judge DeMuth noted the
Juvenile Court/Probation has
been funded primarily
through a $50,000 grant from
the Department of Youth
Services. He also explained
reclaim revenue as incen-
tive for not using local facili-
ties (as opposed to state) for
holding juveniles.
He noted the cost of hous-
ing an adult in a state facility
averages $30,000 a year. The
cost to house a juvenile at the
state level is $180,000 per
year. This year, Judge De-
Muth was expecting the grant
and $59,000 in reclaim rev-
enue. The state has recently
decided to hold the reclaim
dollars and instead award
targeted reclaim revenue.
The targeted areas are the more
heavily populated, metropoli-
tan areas, which means less
funding to the sparsely popu-
lated, rural areas. Judge De-
Muth is projecting a shortfall in
several of his expense line
items due to this lack of fund-
ing.

Captain Dave Cline (right) was the speaker at the Paulding Kiwanis Club meeting. Cline is the ad-
ministrator for the sheriffs office. He told about a new program to begin soon, called Project Life-
saver, which will help find missing persons who have wandered away from their homes. At present,
the sheriffs office has two radio transmitters and two receivers; they will obtain more when money
becomes available. In the middle is Gary Deitrick, who will become the K9 unit supervisor after he and
the newly acquired dog complete their training. Cindy Wilson was program chairman.
Ohio gives back:
Nonprofits provide
more than aid
By Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted
Ohioans have a rich tradition of giving back to their commu-
nities and those in need. This is evident by the fact that more
than 60,000 nonprofit organizations operate in Ohio. With so
many of these beneficial entities calling the Buckeye State
home, there is no shortage of ways for each of us to get involved
to help our communities and our neighbors. In fact, nonprofits
in Ohio collectively raise billions of dollars for assistance and
research each year.
The benefit of having these organizations in our communities
is not limited to just those they serve, but also those they em-
ploy. In fact, Ohios nonprofits provide paying jobs for nearly
500,000 workers.
Recognizing that nonprofit organizations provide an eco-
nomic benefit to our state, I selected a handful of these organiza-
tions to include as part of Augusts Ohio Business Profile. Ohio
Business Profile, launched in June 2011, is a program that
showcases the many companies that call Ohio home. Each
month we select a theme and feature businesses that fall under
that theme. Last months Ohio Business Profile highlighted non-
profit companies. Since we only pick a handful of business to
feature each month, I plan to repeat the nonprofit theme in the
future and continue making Ohioans aware of all of these great
organizations throughout our state.
Nonprofits featured last month included seven diverse organi-
zations whose core missions ranged from helping homeless
youth, to providing assistance to mothers in need and instilling
an appreciation in art and the positive impact it can have on a
community. To learn more about all of the nonprofit organiza-
tions featured last month, I encourage you to log onto
www.OhioBusinessProfile.com.
If you know of a nonprofit business, or any company, in your
area that should be recognized through the Ohio Secretary of
States office, please take a moment to log onto my website at
www.OhioSecretaryofState.gov and submit their information.
2012 was a record year for new business filings in Ohio with
more than 88,000 entities filed through my office. We are lucky
to have a large range of businesses to choose from, please help
me honor each one. Who knows, maybe I will even pick your
business to highlight next month.

County Court
No one rained
on my parade
A few weeks ago I was in Paulding County to cover sev-
eral activities for the Paulding County Progress. I had spent
Thursday at Wayne Trace and Friday at Antwerp High
School taking pictures of the various sports teams for our an-
nual fall sports tab. On Saturday morning I was driving
through the countryside heading to Antwerp to cover the Day
in the Park when my car decided to begin the process of a
slow death.
With the help of good
friends, I was able to get it
to a repair shop, borrow a
truck, and still make it to
Antwerp in time to enjoy the
park activities. In fact, when
I got into town I discovered
I was at the tail end of the
parade and so I just continued on, waving to those on the
street corner as if I was the last parade entry. I even had some
wave back; proof of the friendliness from Antwerp folks.
Now, back to the purpose of my story. You see, I am not a
mechanic so I was in a panic. Assuming I would be stranded
in Paulding County for the weekend, I knew I had to get
home because I had several responsibilities to cover out of
town. Knowing it was Saturday, I assumed most auto repair
shops would be closed. Upon a suggestion, I contacted
Paulding Auto Group Service Center and Body Shop (what a
title!) located on Williams Street. I told them what the symp-
toms were and how I believed it had something to do with
the transmission.
Ugh! The transmission! Im thinking to myself that they
will not be able to fix it and if they can its going to take a
week and the cost, oh my, the cost. The folks at the Service
Center and Body Shop (for short) were very helpful. They
heard my story and told me they would be happy to look at
the car but also warned me that if it is a transmission prob-
lem, well, their transmission guy is off all next week on va-
cation. Not good. I needed the car fixed now. I needed to get
home.
So, in a state of helplessness, I asked if there was a place
they would suggest that might be open. The fellow behind
the counter said, Well, as much as I would like to have your
business, I would take it to Boyds. Wheres Boyds? Point-
ing down the street, he said, Boyds Automotive is a couple
blocks down that way on Perry Street and they will do a
good job for you. Wow! I didnt expect to hear those words
from a competitor, but I knew one thing, I was on my way to
Boyds.
I was greeted with a friendly smile and they said they
could fix my car after explaining my situation. They needed
to tow it in and figure out the problem. Once they knew
something they would give me a call. That all sounded fine
and I was on my way to Antwerp waiting for the dreaded
call. A couple of hours later the call came. I heard on the
other end of the line how they could fix it on Monday if they
could get the part. They explained to me what the problem
was which I didnt fully understand and then what they said
next I did understand, it will be about $500.
The car was fixed and after a couple of telephone calls
along with an additional part and the labor cost the final
tab was just over $1,000. When I got the call the gentleman
from Boyds was very detailed in explaining what they did
and that although it was fixed I probably still had a trans-
mission issue.
I picked up the car later in the week. Again, everything
was explained in detail as they went through each item on
the receipt. To be honest the only thing I was interested in
was the final total. I walked out of the shop to the car hoping
to get it home without any problems which I did. But what
was really disturbing was all the dust and dirt and grim that
had collected on the car from the ongoing street repair. A
visit to the car wash was obviously necessary. Hopefully that
will be completed soon.
Well, I look back on the whole situation and yes I realize I
am out $1,000. That would have been the case wherever it
happened. But when I think about being stranded in a small
town on a Saturday morning and being directed to a couple
of friendly repair shops who were honest and helpful, I really
cant complain. In my opinion, my auto breakdown could not
have happened in a better town. As bad as it was, no one
rained on my parade.

Junior fairboard
members named
By BILL SHERRY
Correspondent
PAULDING The Paulding County Agriculture Society met
on Sept. 11, where they announced nine new Paulding County
Junior Fair Board members, with Tony Miller as the key advisor.
The junior fair board will be working with the senior fair board
to organize the light display this year for the Christmas season.
The dates for the light display are Dec. 6-8 and Dec. 13-15.
More information on the hours of operation will be forthcoming.
If you or your organization is interested in setting up a display,
please contact a fair board director.
The phones at the Paulding County Agricultural Society office
have been put on vacation mode until it gets close to fair time.
The board is still looking for a treasurer. If you are interested,
please contact a fair board director.
The dates for the 2014 Paulding County Fair are June 9-14.
Move-in day for livestock has not been set at this time.
Some of the plans for entertainment at the fair include an open
goat show set for June 10, truck pulls are scheduled for June 12
and horse and pony pulls on June 13. There will be more infor-
mation concerning fair entertainment, fair shows, open shows and
4-H shows as this topic is discussed at future ag society meetings.
The board has scheduled Feb. 8 for the building fundraiser. The
event will include a meal, music, games, silent auction, pie auction
and lots more with all the proceeds going toward the new build-
ings.
The central theme discussed at an earlier meeting was a farewell
to the old buildings that have been in service over many genera-
tions and a welcome to the new, more modern structures that will
serve many more generations.
The next meeting is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Oct. 9.

A Penny For
Your Thoughts....
By: Nancy Whitaker
BURGER JUNKIE
New food. New burgers.
Have you heard about them?
I consider myself a sort of
foodie. I like to read cook-
books, try various recipes and
an not afraid to try different
kinds of food. I really enjoy
fast-food and always have. To
me, a dollar burger tastes
great.
Now, I can remember back
to when hamburgers were a
quarter apiece and sometimes
five for a dollar at a fast food
restaurant. What a treat it was
to stop in Fort Wayne on the
way home from a shopping
expedition and get hamburg-
ers and fries. Back then, that
was the main fare of fast-food
restaurants.
There were no wraps, iced
coffees, yogurts, pulled pork
or chicken nuggets and defi-
nitely not very many choices
if you wanted to eat
healthy.
Through the years, so
many fast-food restaurants
have made their appearance.
There are fast food restau-
rants for chicken, subs, ice
cream, hot dogs, fish, tacos,
and chili.
Each one of these offer a
wide variety that sometimes it
is difficult to make up your
mind exactly what you want
to order.
One of these franchise fast
food establishments came up
with a whole new concept of
hamburgers. When I first saw
the commercial on television,
I thought to myself, What a
good idea. This I have to try.
It was the new french fry
burger. I was skeptical at first,
but you know it sounded so
good, I had to try one.
The sandwich which sells
for a dollar includes a ham-
burger with toppings with
four french fries under the top
part of the bun. Now, I do
wonder how this sandwich
came to be. Was it a mis-
take, an idea or was someone
just playing around with a
hamburger? However that
sandwich idea was con-
ceived, I like it.
Of course, the nay-sayers
are calling this a ploy by this
third ranked fast food fran-
chise to save themselves. In-
ternet food critics have
blasted the sandwich saying
they would never lower them
selves to eating it, saying it is
just not good.
I totally disagree. Any
hamburger for a dollar cant
be that bad. True, burgers are
now more than 25 cents a
piece, but to get a sandwich
with fries for a buck sounds
good to me.
Trust me, I am not a burger
gourmet, but I like this sand-
wich. Now, I am also hearing it
is only going to be around for
a limited amount of time.
Hmmm. I wonder if I should
go buy a truckload and put
them in my freezer?
Do you like fast food restau-
rants? How many different
kinds can you recall? Have you
tried the new french fry burger?
Let me know and Ill give you
a Penny for Your Thoughts.

Kinesio certification classes

This class is perfect for physical therapists, physical therapy
assistants, occupational therapists, certified occupational ther-
apy assistants, and athletic trainers. For more information, visit

natural healing process while providing support and stability
to muscles and joints. This taping does not restrict the bodys
range of motion. It does provide extended soft tissue manipu-
lation to prolong the benefits of manual therapy. Kinesio is
latex-free and wearable for days at a time.
QUESTION: My husband
told me a month ago that he
has started to eat lunch
with a single lady in his of-
fice. He says theyre only
friends and feels sorry for
her since she is new to the
company. I told him I didnt
feel comfortable with him
eating with her alone and
asked if some other cowork-
ers could eat with them as
well. He said there isnt
anyone else to sit with them.
Am I being too paranoid, or
should I insist that he stop?
JIM: Your concerns are
warranted. Your husband may
genuinely feel sorry for his
coworker and have a desire to
make her feel welcome at the
office. But consistent one-on-
one time with her is not a
healthy idea. Most people
who fall into extramarital af-
fairs didnt set out to do so.
Rather, the illicit relationship
began on innocent terms.
There are always com-
pelling reasons to be cautious
about opposite-sex friend-
ships outside of ones spouse.
Before you were married, you
may have had lots of friends
of the opposite sex, but things
are different now. Once you
say, I do, your bond with
your spouse takes priority
over every other relationship.
An excellent book on
maintaining appropriate
boundaries in marriage is
Hedges, by Jerry B. Jenk-
ins. If your husband is will-
ing, you might consider
reading it together. But make
sure he knows that your de-
sire to read the book is moti-
vated not by suspicion, but
rather a desire to make your
relationship as healthy and
strong as possible. You might
also consider taking Focus on
the Familys Couple Checkup
( www. f a mi l y. or g/ c ou-
plecheckup), which will help
both of you evaluate the
strengths and weaknesses in
your relationship.
QUESTION: I found some
very inappropriate texts
and pictures on my teenage
sons cellphone the other
day. I know when I confront
him, he will be devastated
that I know. How can I ap-
proach this so that he un-
derstands its wrong to do
this without scarring him
for life?
DR. GREG SMALLEY,
vice president, Family Min-
istries: Confronting your son
about inappropriate behavior
wont scar him for life, but al-
lowing that behavior to con-
tinue unchecked just might.
The first thing he needs to
know is that sexting is poten-
tially illegal. He could face
arrest and prosecution for
sharing or receiving explicit
pictures over the phone. If the
subjects are minors, the pic-
tures fall into the category of
child pornography, the distri-
bution and possession of
which is strictly illegal in
every state.
Will your son be embar-
rassed when you confront
him about this? Probably. So
when you do confront him,
make sure he knows that
youre doing so out of a deep
love for him and a concern
for his emotional and spiritual
well-being.
This will require you to
walk a very fine line. If you
make light of the situation and
dismiss the seriousness of the
mistake your son has made,
you increase the likelihood that
hell repeat the behavior. On
the other hand, if you take an
excessively hardline approach,
you run the risk of driving your
teen into even deeper despair.
By Jim Daly
Even as you endeavor to ad-
dress the situation with love
and compassion, then, there
can be no question of minimiz-
ing the anguish your son is ex-
periencing. The key to
successfully managing this sit-
uation is to help him take own-
ership of that anguish, assume
responsibility for the actions
and choices that produced it,
and turn it into a springboard to
better, wiser behavior in the fu-
ture.
If you need help with this
crucial process, dont hesitate
to contact Focus on the Family
for a consultation with a mem-
ber of our counseling team.

Winning the Battle for a Generation
By Rick Jones
exec. director, Defiance
Area Youth for Christ
Are you walking the talk?
When I was a young believer there was a pop-
ular euphemism that I often heard repeated,
dont just talk the walk, walk the talk, or in
other words, practice what you preach. Doug
Banister learned that truth the hard way.
For years, Doug Banister, a Christian from
Knoxville, Tenn., had taken mission trips to Ro-
mania. God had moved powerfully on those
trips, but Doug sensed a call to get more in-
volved in the raw needs of his own community.
So he became the head coach for a swim team
started by a Christian urban youth ministry. It
was there that he met a young boy named Mar-
tin. Martin was painfully thin for his age and kept
shivering uncontrollably by the pool, even
through a heat wave. Doug shares what hap-
pened next with Martin.
A few weeks later, Martin squeezed in beside
me on the bus ride to our first swim meet. He
was a wiry, bouncy 10-year-old who could rarely
sit still long enough to hear the workout set. Yet
today he slumped down against the window and
curled into a ball.
Coach Doug, Martin asked, can I have my
dinner now? I havent eaten in two days. A fa-
ther of four, I know a con when I see one.
No, buddy, I teased. You need to wait until
after the meet like everyone else.
The summer got even hotter, and Martin kept
shivering. One evening, a social worker who
knew Martin dropped by the pool. I asked her if
she knew why Martin always shivered. She
pulled me aside and whispered, Its because hes
literally starving. The woman he lives with told
a judge that she was starving the Devil out of
him.
Martin never stopped shivering that summer,
but he did start swimming faster. Then Martin
stopped showing up. Nobody at his house re-
turned our calls, and Martin missed the rest of
our meets.
At our year-end swim banquet, we gave Mar-
tin the Most Improved Swimmer award. He
wasnt there to receive it. A friend and I drove
the award to his house after the banquet. After
many knocks, a man answered the door.
He wasnt happy to see us. We handed him
Martins trophy and told him how well Martin
swam. I dont know where he is, the man said.
He shut the door.
Dougs encounter with at-risk youth like Martin
in his own community profoundly changed him.
He confessed, I realized that I knew more about
poverty in [Romania] than I knew about poverty
in Knoxville. I was pursuing the common good
of a city across the world while neglecting the
common good of the place where I lived.
The scriptures remind us in Psalm 41:1,
(NASB), How blessed is he who considers the
helpless; The Lord will deliver him in a day of
trouble.

Progress
seeking info
on historical
churches
The Paulding County
Progress is seeking informa-
tion on historical churches in
the county.
In many settlements, a
church was one of the first
buildings constructed. A lot of
times, church services were
held in a home.
What is the oldest church or
congregation still holding serv-
ices in Paulding County? How
old is the church you attend?
Many churches in our county
are over 100 years old and their
walls can tell many stories.
If you have any informa-
tion about historical
churches, please call Nancy
at 419-399-4015 Ext. 103 and
leave a message, or email
nancywhitaker@yahoo.com.
The First Presbyterian Church, Paulding, presented Bibles to its youths entering seventh grade.
The church has a Memorial Bible Fund, fed by donations, that provides Bibles to students entering
third grade and seventh grade, and to graduating seniors. From left are Kristen Razo, Erin Karl-
stadt and Joe Reineck with their new Bibles.

In The
Garden
Taproots run deep
As gardeners, we know
what a taproot is. Many times
as my husband is helping me
dig and transplant something
from one place to another (or
Im helping him), hell say,
We need to be sure to get the
taproot or it wont live.
While that may or may not be
true, the taproot runs deep
and its hard to remove the
entire plant.
Its as if the plant is sending
the message that it doesnt
want to go anywhere, because
its doing just fine where it is,
thank-you-very-much.
A few years ago, I had a re-
curring dream, a nightmare,
really, in which we sold our
house, bought a fixer-upper,
then halfway through the fix-
ing-up, I missed my old
house and wanted it back. Of
course, someone else owned
and was living in MY house
and didnt want to give it
back to us. I couldnt blame
them. I liked my house, too,
and I really wanted it to be
ours again. I started crying
uncontrollably, my heart bro-
ken. A couple of times, I ac-
tually woke up in tears.
Eventually, I stopped hav-
ing that dream. But, it pre-
sented a very real question to
myself. What would happen
Over the past few years,
first with help and guidance
from my mom, and later
through research of my own,
I have learned to tame that
mucky stuff and turn it into
something in which plants
like to grow and thrive.
There are the individual
plants, shrubs, and trees that
we acquired in a unique way
or were gifts for special occa-
sions. How could I ever leave
the peolac - that peony and
lilac that share the same
space? Or the pine tree that I
carried home from Maine in
my suitcase in 1979 that has
grown to be taller than our
two-story house?
What about the buckeye
tree that Mom and Dad
bought for us to plant when
Kara was born in 1980? My
grandma will turn 99 the day
after Christmas. Could any-
one else know what the
Japanese maple she thought I
needed and bought for me
in 2006 is worth to me?
So many passalongs, the
Dawn hosta from friend
Kim, the globe flower from
my friend Alison (who got it
from her sister, who works in
the gardens at Monticello),
the Clara Curtis mum from
friend Marsha, the iris from
my next-door neighbor who
passed away a few years ago,
and countless trees, shrubs,
and perennials from Mom.
My dad has put his finger-
print here too, with his help
on countless projects and the
building of our greenhouse.
The gazebo in our backyard
once belonged to my
grandma. None of these
things could possibly mean as
much to someone else as they
do to me.
As is sometimes the case
with gardens, they become
the final resting place for
beloved pets, and ours is no
different. There lie numerous
cats and pet rabbits, Iggy the
iguana, Madeline the taran-
tula, Sal the salamander, Pip
and Ella the parakeets, and
Simba, the only dog we ever
had. It is hallowed ground.
It was here, in this garden,
on this acre of land, that I be-
came a real gardener, carry-
ing on the tradition of my
mother and grandmother. My
roots are in this county, this
township, the very soil be-
neath my feet.
Ideally, it would be a won-
derful and satisfying thing if
one of our girls eventually
lived here, but the chances of
them being able to or even
wanting to do that are slim at
best.
So one day, we will leave it
to someone who may not
want these gardens that we
have given so much to over
the years. My dream has
shown me that it will be
painful, for we will leave a
part of ourselves in the walls
of this home and the soil sur-
rounding it.
But for now, we continue to
live and love and grow and
nurture all that surrounds us.
We are blessed to have been
given charge of so much and
we thank God for it all.

when the day actually came
that I did have to move from
this house? We have talked
about the time when we may
become unable to care for it
ourselves.
Its not a particularly large
house, but neither is it small.
And the property is an acre in
size, with considerable gar-
dens on that acre.
The gardens that are now
known collectively as Our
Little Acre have evolved over
time, as most gardens do.
They were created in bits and
pieces as time, money, and
energy allowed. As is the case
of anything we put sweat eq-
uity into, there lives a little bit
of our heart also, most espe-
cially in the gardens.
Are they just a collection of
plants growing? They are
that, but they are much more.
If you come to visit the gar-
dens, I will happily give you
the in-depth tour (whether
you want that one or not)
where I give you the history
and anecdotes about how this
came to be the way it is, why
I planted that there, and will
even tell you about past
plants no longer growing
there.
Every plant has a story, and
it is in the telling of these sto-
ries that gives the clues as to
why I am taprooted here.
There are general reasons,
too. Our children grew up
here. Its the only home they
ever had until they left for
college. I can remember the
day that Romie and I were
working in the garden to-
gether when Kara was two
years old and I was pregnant
for Jenna.
A storm was fast approach-
ing and I was hurrying to get
the strawberries picked. Kara
was on the perimeter and
every little bit, I would throw
a strawberry to her. Shed
toddle over and pick it up and
stick it in her mouth. As soon
as she swallowed it, shed
say, More.
Scenes of Jenna going for
rides in the wheelbarrow as
Romie used it for yard work
play through my mind. She
grew up as his shadow, taking
to yard and garden work like
a fish to water.
Even now, shell get the
mower out in the summer
when shes here for a visit if
the yard looks as if it could
use a cutting.
I grew up near here, too,
just three miles away. This is
my country and I know it
well. I learned about our clay
soil from my parents.
Before I even considered
gardening, I knew what a
frustration it was to try and
grow things in it, except for
corn, wheat and soybeans.
Our small town was home to
a clay tile factory, for good-
ness sake. My mom has said
we should be making pottery,
not growing flowers.

Oakwood Elementary first graders are preparing for fall as
they read and colored a "Coat of Many Colors" in Mrs. Caroline
Arend's class. Shown with their "Coat of Many Colors" are
Brooklyn Schlatter, Hailey Daniels, and Logan Peters.
In August, second graders at Antwerp Elementary enjoyed a
"camp-out" on school property after reading about book charac-
ters Henry and Mudge and Arthur and their camping experiences.
Students brought sleeping bags, stuffed animals, water bottles,
and books. During the camp-out, they created and named their
own constellations using black construction paper and dot-to-
dots of real constellation patterns. The second graders also ate
s'mores; created a
"sound" rainstorm by
clacking tongues, clicking
fingers, and clapping
hands; and participated in
a nature scavenger hunt.
Here are the newly elected members of the Paulding Elementary
Student Council. Front row from left to right:Sydney Reineck, Baylee
March, Maggie Manz, Marissa Dobbelaere-Rosalez Back row: Luke
McCullough, Molly Adams, Caleb Manz, Gabe Sutton.
The Preschoolers at Paulding Elementary are grateful for their
new toy barn. Now they are able to use their tricycles and other
toys every day! The toy barn project was made possible through
generous monetary donations from the Paulding Elementary
PTO and from the Paulding Elementary cookie dough fund rais-
er. Paulding Boy Scout Troop 315 then donated their time and
labor to build the toy barn and move it to the preschool play-
ground. Boy Scouts Travis Couts, Michael Kohart, and Brian
Matson are pictured with the toy barn.
Second grade students welcome Deputy Hanenkratt to Wayne Trace Payne Elementary. The

Students and families attended Open House
at Wayne Trace Payne Elementary on Monday,
August 19, 2013. More than 95% of the stu-
dents enrolled at WTPE attended this event.
Casey Wenninger and her children Zavier and
Lexi are seen getting familiar with the first
grade classroom.

Faculty, staff, and students at all three
Wayne Trace Local School buildings
continue to work hard everyday. Educating
our youth is and always will be a team effort,
with continued cooperation and communi-
cation needed between parents and school
personnel. The more we stay informed about
our children`s education, the more we can
help pave the way to a successful school
experience. As I`ve stated many times, Ieel
free to frequently communicate with your
child(ren)`s teachers concerning educational
and co-curricular issues.
As you can see by reading this month`s
newsletter, we have partnered with the
Paulding Progress to bring the newsletter
into the homes of all Wayne Trace residents.
The newsletter will appear in both the
Weekly Reminder (normally delivered to all
Paulding County mailboxes on Saturdays)
and the regular Progress publication
(normally delivered to subscribers on
Wednesdays). This new format brings a
financial savings to our district, while still
providing a quality product to all residents.
Fall is right around the corner, signifying
the beginning of shorter days and longer
nights. As we continue to make safety a high
priority, parents are encouraged to remind
their student-drivers to use the 'deIensive
approach when operating a motor vehicle.
As you`re well aware by now, texting while
driving is a violation in the state of Ohio, and
drivers under the age of eighteen can be
pulled over simply for this violation. Parents
are highly encouraged to remind their
student-drivers of the dangers involved in
driving at night or in the early morning,
especially when other young people are also
in the vehicle. Texts can and should wait.
Everyone plays a part in getting students to
and from school safely.
In other safety news, our entire district staff
recently participated in a full-day ALICE
training, led by Sheriff Jason Landers and
Captain Shane Dyson. Over the next few
weeks, our teachers and principals will work
at the building levels to develop guidelines
and practice with students on how to react in
the event an intruder enters one of our school
buildings. Through this training and prac-
tice, we hope to be prepared for such an
event should it ever occur.
In academic news, Wayne Trace continues
to move forward in the Race to the Top
program. We`re now in the Iourth year oI a
four-year commitment, and we`ve estab-
lished three goals for this school year:
1.) To develop teacher evaluation language
as part of the new OTES model; 2.) To help
teachers develop student learning outcomes,
which evaluate student growth over a period
of time; and 3.) To plan and facilitate profes-
sional development days at the district level.
Our Race to the Top transformation team has
made a positive academic difference in the
three years of its existence, and we look
forward to finishing what we started three
years ago.
For those of you who may have missed the
second home football game, we are proud to
have enshrined Mr. Jerry Cox and Mr. Terry
Miller into the Wayne Trace Staff Hall of
Fame. Congratulations to them and their
families.
Our teaching staff has several new teachers
this year. As part of being an entry-level
teacher, the Ohio Department of Education
has outlined a 'Teacher-Mentor Program.
Experienced teachers work with inexperi-
enced, developing teachers right in the class-
room of the new teachers. As part of this
program, experienced teachers may
videotape the new teachers presenting a
lesson to students. Notice: If you do not
want your child to appear in any of these
confidential videos of new teachers, contact
your child(ren)`s building principal(s) in
writing, stating that you do not want your
child to appear in a video. If we do not hear
from you within a reasonable amount of
time, then we will consider it acceptable for
your child(ren) to appear in these videos.
Please understand: These videos are com-
pletely confidential, with the sole purpose of
the videos being to help inexperienced
teachers improve, not to record the behavior
of the students.
We have several extra-curricular and
co-curricular events planned over the next
several weeks. One big upcoming event is
Homecoming week, scheduled for the week
of September 23-28. Please consider coming
out to support our students in their many
endeavors. Everyone benefits.
As always, if you have questions or con-
cerns about your child`s educational experi-
ence at Wayne Trace, feel free to contact
your building principal or superintendent.

WT GROVER HILL ELEMENTARY
Kevin E. Wilson, Principal
It is hard to believe October is here
already. It seems like the school year just
started. As the first quarter comes to an end
on October 18, it is only fitting that a time
for parents and teachers to sit down and dis-
cuss student progress is scheduled. Parent-
Teacher Conferences will be on Wednesday,
October 30, from 5:30 to 8:30 and again on
Thursday, October 31, from 1:00 to 8:00.
The WTGH goal for this year is 100% parent
participation, and so we would like to
encourage all parents to take some time and
make sure to schedule a conference.
The month of October also brings about the
beginning of OAA testing for our third
graders. This year the third grade class will
be introduced to the OAA test on October 8,
when they take the OAA Reading test. This
is the first of two opportunities for the third
grade students, as they will take the OAA
again in the spring. Data from this first OAA
test will be important data as we look to meet
the needs of each and every student.
The PTO fundraiser is wrapping up. All
orders must be turned in by October 3 to
ensure the delivery on October 13. The staff
and I would like to take this time to THANK
the PTO for all that they do for WTGH
students and staff. Also, on behalf of the
PTO, I would like to thank the WTGH
community members for their support.

WT PAYNE ELEMENTARY
Jody L. Dunham, Principal
It`s been an exciting start to the school
year. We have 25 new students enrolled at
Wayne Trace Payne Elementary. It is won-
derful to have so many new students join us
this year. We welcome these students to our
Raider family!
Our fall AIMSweb and ODE Diagnostic
assessments have been completed. The data
collected from this process will guide
specific targeted instruction to meet the
needs of all students. It will also give us data
for monitoring on-going improvement of
skills. Ohio`s new Third Grade Reading
Guarantee directs schools to identify which
students in kindergarten through grade three
are having trouble reading and then give
them extra reading help right away. The
goal is to get these boys and girls caught up
in reading as soon as possible.
Third grade students will be taking the
required fall administration of the reading
subtest for the Ohio Achievement Assess-
ment on Tuesday, October 8. The assess-
ment will be administered in the morning.
Please plan doctor and dentist appointments
outside of the assessment time.
We wish to sincerely thank the Wayne
Trace Payne Elementary PTO for the time
and hard work that they have put into
upgrading our school playground. Prior to
the start of the 2013-2014 school year, PTO
President Amy Klinker brought together
parent volunteers to remove broken play-
ground equipment and to paint existing
monkey bars and the merry-go-round. Over
the Labor Day weekend, Mrs. Klinker coor-
dinated a team to replace a broken tunnel and
a bridge on our main playground apparatus.
This was no small feat as the combined
weight of the tunnel and bridge exceeded
430 pounds. We also want to thank
Homier & Sons, Inc. for providing a fork lift
to unload this heavy pallet from the delivery
truck. II you haven`t already, please
consider becoming part of this important
organization.
Thank you to all of our Grandparents who
were able to come and join us for our Grand-
parents` Days in September. It is always Iun
for the students to have their Grandparents
come to school.
We look forward to our upcoming Parent-
Teacher Conferences. We value this time of
collaboration between teachers and families.
Please watch for information to come home
with your child to schedule your conference.
We have had an amazing first month of
school. Thank you for your strong support
of Wayne Trace Payne Elementary!

WT JR./SR. HIGH SCHOOL
Greg Leeth, Principal
It is that time of year that students and
teachers have settled into their school routine
and soon progress reports will be sent out for
the first quarter grading period. In fact, the
first quarter grading period ends on Friday,
October 18. As always, parents, I urge you
to have regular communication with your
child`s teachers and to use ProgressBook to
monitor your child`s academic progress.
Additionally, parents have the opportunity
to communicate with teachers and to monitor
academic progress by participating in Parent-
Teacher Conferences. Forms to schedule
conferences with teachers have been sent
home with students. Parents, make sure to
ask your children for the form. Conferences
will be held on October 30 from 5:30-8:00
p.m. and on October 31 from 1:00-8:00 p.m.
School will not be in session for students on
October 31 and November 1.
Another round of testing occurs near the
end of October. The fall administration for
the Ohio Graduation Tests will begin on
October 28 and end November 8. Junior and
senior students who have one or more tests to
pass will be tested within this test window.
We were recently informed that we have
been selected to receive a $25,000 grant for
Math Mania through America`s Farmers
Grow Rural EducationSM, sponsored by the
Monsanto Fund. Money from the grant will
be used to purchase technology hardware and
software and to pay for professional develop-
ment for teachers. The purpose of the pro-
ject is to use technology as part of the
instructional delivery to support the curricu-
lum and increase student achievement in
math as demonstrated on state tests. I want
to thank all of those teachers who worked
hard to write the grant and the Monsanto
Company for the generous donation. Repre-

events. All juniors have been informed that
not only do they have the opportunity to help
raise money for their class for prom but also
the opportunity to earn rewards such as free

gown paid for their senior year. All juniors
are asked to work five athletic events and
should sign up to work in Ms. Katy
Scarbrough`s classroom.
Lastly, I want to thank the community for
the tremendously positive start to the school
year. We have much to be proud of at
Wayne Trace Local Schools, and you are an
integral part of our success!

HOMESPUN
By
JIM LANGHAM
Take me out to the ballgame
on the city in his famous writ-
ings about Chicago.
Over a lifetime, now, I
have watched generations
come and go who had their
hopes of Cubs championships
dashed by some fluke near
the end of the season.
My first visit to Wrigley
Field occurred in the mid-
90s when my dear friend,
Meredith Sprunger, and I at-
tended a Cubs game and had
the fortune of seeing famed
Holy Cow announcer
Harry Carey lead the crowd
on Take Me Out to the Ball-
game in the seventh inning.
Following the game, we
took several photographs of
each other with the famed
ivy wall in the background.
It was a classic moment for
two boys in their 50s whose
childhood returned as they
stood in the most famed base-
ball park in America with a
championship drought.
A few weeks ago, our son,
Jason, suggested that he and I
bring granddaughter, Kirsten,
to Chicago and meet daugh-
ter, Sandi, for another
Wrigley Field experience to-
gether, in lieu of the fact that
a major renovation of the
classic old stadium is forth-
The first time I have any
memories of the Chicago
Cubs was inside the barber-
shop where my dad would
take me for a haircut. Barber
Punk Pontius in downtown
Geneva, Ind. had two glass
cabinets sitting on the stand
across from the barber chair
where I sat on a board to ele-
vate me for a haircut.
One cabinet was full of
fancy scissors, razors and
other tools utilized in giving
an old-fashioned haircut
worth a sucker and a nickel to
those who wouldnt squirm
while he was giving a Mo-
hawk, butch, flat top or
pineapple haircut.
The other cabinet was
filled with Chicago Cub
memorabilia, autographed
baseballs, baseball cards of
players from the 20s and 30s
that had captured Punks
fancy and programs from
games he had attended at
Wrigley Field.
It caught my intrigue and
alerted me to be on the look
for bubble gum cards of the
likes of Ernie Banks, Ron
Santo and other players that
became national heroes in my
childhood.
But for me, the Cubs were
much more than a National
League baseball team; they
represented Wrigley Field,
also the home of the Chicago
Bears, the source of Sunday
afternoon popcorn and time
with my dad by the Zenith
black and white television in
our living room.
Early on, I was fascinated
with the ivy leaves on the out-
field fence, the way fog
would role in off the lake as
stated by Carl Sandburg in his
reference to fogs creeping in
coming.
That happened this past
Saturday; three generations of
Langhams sat in the second
tier box seats to watch the
Cubs signal hope once again
with a 3-1 come-from-behind
win over the Atlanta Braves.
But more than that was the
mystique of it, fans more in-
terested in having their pic-
tures taken in front of the
Wrigley Field sign than they
were in watching the action
on the field. There was a
sense of awe at everyone
gathering in the old stadium
just one more time to watch
the most popular team in
America play baseball.
As we sat in our hard seats
and snacked on ballpark
goodies (teaching Kirsten
how to break peanut shells in
the process), I looked at
Sandi, Jason and granddaugh-
ter, Kirsten.
Will any of these ever see
the Cubs win a world series,
I asked myself.
Whether they do or not,
there is no doubt that they
will continue to carry the
American hope of someday
being the generation that is
here when it happens. In fact,
there is seemingly some con-
nection between the hopes of
the Cubs, our nation and our
own dreams.
Goyings finishes second
at annual ODOT Roadeo
Leon Goyings (left) of Paulding and Chris Vermillion of Alger
await the announcement of the first place winner in the loader
competition.
LIMA Chris Vermillion of
Alger took first place and Leon
Goyings of Paulding took sec-
ond in the loader event at the
Ohio Department of Trans-
portations (ODOT) Directors
Cup Truck and Loader Roadeo
held last week in Columbus.
The two competed against
ODOT employees from each
of the 12 ODOT districts who
earned the right to compete in
the statewide event after hav-
ing placed first or second in
their individual Roadeos earlier
this year.
Vermillion and Goyings rep-
resented ODOT District 1
which encompasses Allen, De-
fiance, Hancock, Hardin,
Paulding, Putnam, Van Wert
and Wyandot counties.
Vermillion had placed third
in the district event, but agreed
to compete when the districts
second place finisher was un-
able to attend.
I was really surprised, said
Vermillion about his win, and
admitted to being nervous be-
fore his run. As a member of
his local tractor pulling associ-
ation, Vermillion said its good
to be nervous before a per-
formance. If youre not nerv-
ous youre not doing what you
care about, he said.
Vermillion finished with a
score of 2,485 points out of a
possible 3,025 while Goyings
finished with 2,400.
Our district competitors are
perennial top finishers, so
were not surprised when they
compete this well, said Kirk
Slusher, Ohio Department of
Transportation District 1
deputy director. Our employ-
ees demonstrate their abilities
in a number of ways each day,
but the Roadeo is certainly an
opportunity to showcase what
sets them apart, he said.
Vermillion and Goyings
were to compete in the Ameri-
can Public Works Association
national equipment Roadeo in
Columbus.
The Roadeo is a friendly
competition which pits equip-
ment operators against one an-
other to test their skill in
maneuvering equipment
through a series of obstacles in-
tended to mimic situations they
encounter on the job.
Participants are also required
to find deliberately placed me-
chanical bugs on equipment as
part of the pre-trip inspection
portion of the competition.

Go Raiders!
JARED SHERRY
Defense, running game
propel WT past Pilots
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
DEFIANCE Wayne Trace
used a dominating defensive ef-
fort and a newly found running
game to cruise past Ayersville
40-6 in Green Meadows Con-
ference football action Friday
night.
The Raiders totaled 347 rush-
ing yards on a soggy night at
Craig McCord Field, led by 167
yards from senior running back
Jared Sherry and 155 by senior
quarterback Colby Speice.
Wayne Traces passing game
was limited to 96 yards on the
night but the Raiders switched
to the impressive running at-
tack.
Our offensive line did a
great job of blocking up front
and that enabled our running
game to be very effective,
noted Raider head coach Bill
Speller.
Sherry opened the games
scoring on Wayne Traces first
possession, scooting 23-yards to
find the end zone. Speice then
connected with Sherry on the
two-point conversion pass,
making it 8-0 Raiders with
10:41 left in the first quarter.
The red, white and blue ap-
peared poised to score again in
the second quarter but Ay-
ersvilles Jake Lamb had other
ideas. Lamb intercepted a Spe-
ice pass and returned it 99-yards
for a score, trimming the Pilot
deficit to 8-6 with 6:24 left in
the half.
However, Wayne Trace re-
sponded with a drive that con-
sisted of all rushing plays and
culminated on a one-yard
Sherry plunge for a score.
Sherry also added the two-point
conversion run to put the local
squad in front 16-6.
That was a big drive for us,
Speller continued. They had
the momentum but our guys
played through some adversity
and we were able to put together
a big scoring drive.
Wayne Trace then opened the
game up just before halftime
when Speice connected with
Jake Arend on a 16-yard touch-
down toss to widen the margin
to 24-6 at the break.
The Raiders then put the
game away in the third quarter.
Speice scored on a one-yard run
and the senior quarterback
hooked up with Korbin Showal-
ter for a two-yard scoring strike
to set the lead at 40-6.
We showed the capability to
take what the defense gives us
tonight, Speller noted. They
really wanted to contain our
passing game and we were able
to take advantage of that by run-
ning the ball.
Wayne Traces defense was
also dominant on the night. The
Raiders limited the Pilots to 94
yards of total offense, with 25
coming on the ground and 69
through the air.
Two areas that the Raiders
must improve, though, are still
turnovers and penalties. Wayne
Jim Bowers/Paulding County Progress
Wayne Traces Brock Worden #64 provides lead blocking for
Jared Sherry #7 last Friday night to start off the GMC campaign
for both teams. The Pilots dropped eight defenders back to pre-
vent the Raiders from using their vaunted passing attack, only
to be run over by the ground game.
Trace committed five turnovers
and was flagged for seven
penalties again on Friday.
Taking care of the ball is
something we are going to have
to do a better job of, com-
mented the Raider mentor.
Turnovers and penalties are
two areas that we need to im-
prove and that we will continue
to work on.
Wayne Trace returns to ac-
tion Friday for homecoming
night at Raider Field as Hol-
gate visits Paulding County.
The Tigers are coming off of a
24-20 win over Antwerp last
week and currently stand 2-2
on the season. Holgate also
has a 32-27 victory over Dan-
bury. The two Tiger losses
came to North Baltimore (42-
21) and Hilltop (32-12).
When the Raiders werent running the ball, they were gang tackling and playing tough defense
at Ayersville last Friday night.
The Raiders Colby Speice stretches for every inch during the Friday night GMC tilt at Ayersville. Speice and his backs took ad-
vantage of their talented offensive line to run at will against the home team.
Holgate rally gives
Antwerp a bitter loss
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
ANTWERP It was the
final 10 minutes of play that
told the story of Friday nights
football game. Unfortunately
for the Archers, the end of the
story was not a happy one.
Antwerp traveled to Holgate
on Friday evening and while
the Archers were clinging to a
20-18 lead and looking for
more, the momentum turned
Holgates way.
In the final period, deep in
their own territory Holgate, was
pushed even farther back when
Tiger quarterback Gabe Santos
was called for intentional
grounding. Facing a fourth
down near the goal line, Santos,
also the punter, had trouble re-
trieving the ball and was forced
to run out of the end zone and
managed to escape to the five
yard line. Turning the ball over
to Antwerp, the Archers were
just five yards from another
score.
Quarterback Derek Smalley
directed his troops to the one
yard line on three consecutive
running plays up the middle
by Tyler Messman. With the
ball sitting on the one yard line
on a fourth down situation,
Smalley elected to go to the air
and came up empty, giving the
Tigers another opportunity
with just over nine minutes re-
maining.
Standing 99 yards from a
score Tiger QB Santos orches-
trated an 11-play drive in five
minutes to put the home team
back in front with 4:19 re-
maining. Santos capped off
the successful drive with a 26-
yard scamper, giving the
Tigers a 24-20 lead.
It was simple to under-
stand. They made the plays
and we didnt, said disap-
pointed head coach Drew Al-
timus.
It appeared Holgate would
have its way in the early going
with two touchdowns in the
initial period. With 6:36 on the
clock in the opening quarter,
Santos made his way to the
end zone on a 27-yard run and
then followed it up with a 19-
yard strike to AJ Alverez for
the 12-0 margin.
The second quarter be-
longed to Antwerp with a cou-
ple of scores, including a
critical two-point conversion.
Tyler Messman answered with
a one-yard plunge with 9:37
on the clock to move to within
six at 12-6.
The second Archer touch-
down came with 2:30 remain-
ing when Bryce Hall hauled in
a Smalley toss for 14 yards
and the tie. Antwerp took the
lead at 14-12 on a Smalley to
Justice Clark two-point con-
version.
Holgate opened the third
quarter with a seven-play
drive covering 65 yards of real
estate and a score with 10:33
showing on the clock. Garrett
Blakeley crossed the goal line
from one yard out and the
extra point attempt for two
failed, giving the Tigers the
lead, 18-14.
After both teams exchanged
possessions following failed
drives the Archers rose to the
occasion to put together a
quick score on a three-play
drive covering 53 yards. Quar-
terback Bevin Hall placed the
ball in Messmans hands on
three consecutive plays with
the fullback chewing up 14, 35
and 4 yards and putting the
Archers back on top, 20-1,8
with 5:04 remaining in the
third quarter.
Tyler was solid on both
sides of the ball. He had well
over 100 yards rushing plus an
interception. The offensive
line did a good job tonight,
said Altimus.
In the Green Meadows Con-
ference opener for both teams,
Messman led the Archers with
164 rushing yards on 25 totes
while the Archers were 5 of 17
in the air for 55 yards.
Antwerp (1-3, 0-1) finished
with 240 total yards.
Holgate was led by the play
of their junior QB, Gabe San-
tos, who ran for 92 yards on
10 carries and tossing for 198
yards on 8 of 25. Blakeley to-
taled 76 yards on 14 attempts
on the ground.
This was a tough one, a
bitter loss. But you have to
give them (Holgate) credit.
When they needed to stop us
at the goal line, they did.
When they were on their 99-
yard drive, we didnt stop
them. Its just a matter of mak-
ing plays, said Altimus.
Antwerp looks to get back
on the winning side when they
host 0-4 Edgerton this Friday.
Spencerville offense rains
on Panthers in NWC contest
By JIM LANGHAM
Sportswriter
SPENCERVILLE It was a
rainy night in Spencerville on
Friday night and the Bearcats
furthered dampened Pauldings
visit to town with a 36-0 North-
west Conference football win
over the Panthers in Northwest
Conference.
Spencervilles Anthony
Schuh rushed for 183 yards and
scored two touchdowns in the
effort.
Colton Miller and Hunter
Hardesty also had touchdown
runs for the Bearcats.
Pauldings record dropped to
1-3 overall and 0-2 in league
play while Spencerville im-
proved to 3-1 overall and 2-1 in
conference play.
The Bearcats jumped out to
an 8-0 lead in the first stanza on
a one-yard run by Miller and
two-point after conversion by
Schuh. Then, in the second
quarter, Schuh broke lose for a
91-yard gallop down the field
and Hardest completed the
cycle with a two-point run into
the end zone to give
Spencerville a 16-0 command-
ing halftime lead.
In the third quarter, a 16-yard
run by Schuh and a 52-yard
scamper by Hardesty locked
the game up.
In spite of the loss, Paulding
head coach Kyle Coleman said
that he continues to see marked
improvement in the way that
his players are handling prac-
tice. The mentor said that one
of his demands in practice is a
stepped up performance be-
tween practice plays.
One of the keys is for play-
ers to change their mind set as
to how good they think can be,
said Coleman. Weve been
steadily getting better in prac-
tice. We had a better week in
practice last week. That was re-
freshing to see.
We didnt react very well to
the rain, continued Coleman.
Theyre style of play reacts
better to the rain than ours did.
They are more downhill run-
ning while we are more side to
side.
Coleman said that he is
pleased with the way the
younger players are getting
stronger. He said that through
junior varsity and their own
personal development, they
continue to increase in strength.
When we practice, I like to
go at a fast pace, said Cole-
man. We like to go from drill
to drill and play to play as fast
as we can. We like to especially
go hard on Thursdays so that
we are ready to get into the
rhythm of the game.
This week, the Panthers host
Western Reserve Academy out
of Hudson for a rare Saturday
afternoon game at 1 p.m. Its
also homecoming for Pauld-
ing.
They have a brand of foot-
ball that not many around here
have seen, observed Cole-
man. They have a lot of quick
formations that run the tail-
back and the quarterback.

New bus routes are
working for Antwerp
By JOE SHOUSE
Correspondent
ANTWERP The Antwerp Local School
board met on Sept. 19 where the new bus
routes, principal reports, and superintendent
updates highlighted the meeting.
Superintendent Pat Ross gave an overview
of the new bus routes implemented for the
new school year. She stated some minor revi-
sions needed to be made once it was deter-
mined who were the student riders, but overall
the transition has gone well.
Treasurer Kristine Stuart shared some
mileage facts to help in determining fuel sav-
ings. Presently the six routes are driving 151
miles less per day then last year. We estimate
the overall savings on fuel for the school year
will be close to $14,000, said Stuart.
In reviewing the first month of school and
the new bus routes, Ross said, Very smooth
with the single schedule and very successful.
We made a few adjustments to the routes but
we had a great start and positive feedback.
High school/middle school principal Mike
Bute updated the board concerning the ad-
vanced placement classes for the year.
Antwerp is offering six classes including Eng-
lish, statistics, chemistry, calculus, physics and
psychology.

28 with the freshmen class having opportunity

p.m. Saturday, Sept. 28.
Elementary principal Tim Manz shared infor-
mation concerning the inservice day held on
Aug. 30. Picture day is scheduled for Oct. 2-3.

pizzas. Antwerps Got Talent will be held at 2
p.m. Sunday, Sept. 29. A puppet show titled

15. The show will emphasize children with
disabilities.

tke is also working on the new security system
that will include telephones, cameras, and
other up-to-date technology located at various
entrances of the school.
