PAULDING Sarah
Noggle, newly selected Ohio
State University Extension
educator for Paulding County,
couldnt be more excited
about her new position.
The announcement of her
hiring was made Monday.
Noggle will be filling the va-
cancy left by Jim Lopshire
when he retired in June from
the OSU Extension agent ed-
ucator position.
Noggle, who was raised on
a farm outside of Antwerp,
the daughter of Keith and
Susan Wiesehan, has always
been saturated with a love for
farming and agriculture. She
has been an agriculture in-
structor in Paulding High
School for the past 12 years.
I am excited about this op-
portunity, said Noggle, the
wife of Ryan Noggle.
Growing up in the county, I
always wanted to teach agri-
culture on the high school
level. I am really excited
about having this opportuni-
ty.
At Ohio State University,
Noggle majored in agricul-
ture education and minored in
agriculture production. At
OSU, she continued her com-
mitment to 4-H by becoming
active in collegiate 4-H and
she worked at the state 4-H
office. In school, Noggle had
been a 10-year 4-H member
and had served on the junior
fair board.
Three out of four summers,
she worked at the state fair.
The first year out of college,
there were no teaching jobs
available in the area, so she
worked as an agronomist at
Zielke Farm Services.
Her first teaching opportu-
nity opened up as an agricul-
tural instructor at Wayne
Trace High School. Shortly
after, a lifetime dream was
satisfied when she was hired
to join forces with Tony
Stoller in agriculture at
Paulding High School.
Noggle also finished a mas-
ters in education degree in
2004.
Noggle chuckles when she
refers to a special wedding
gift that she and her husband
received from former Ohio
State University football
coach John Cooper. Noggle
had spent some time working
in the athletic department at
OSU and had met Cooper at
the time.
When they were married,
Cooper sent Noggle a plaque
that stated, Teamwork is the
key to marriage; it is still the
key to the Buckeyes.
The Noggles have two chil-
dren, Ethan, age 10, and
Delana, age 5.
During this past summer,
Noggle heard of the opening
at the OSU Extension office.
She interviewed and was of-
fered the position, a decision
that became very difficult for
the local educator because of
her love for her students.
I love the kids; it was hard
to separate from the kids,
said Noggle. Ive been there
12 years. But I realized that I
still could work with those
kids and connect with their
parents in this office. I hope
that they will come back to
the extension office and use
our resources.
Noggle said that her aspira-
tion to serve in the OSU
Extension office came from
her love for the farm that she
attained growing up in agri-
culture. She said she under-
stands tough decisions that
farmers have to make, espe-
cially how difficult it is to
make changes.
Another influential factor
in Noggle changing profes-
sions came from a desire to
spend more time with her
family in the evenings.
Sometimes with day to
day pressures of teaching, it
made it difficult to spend time
with my family, observed
Noggle. With this, I will still
be teaching, but I will be able
to be at home more with the
children.
I wanted to make sure that
I would still have the opportu-
nity to teach farm production
agriculturalists. I want to
bridge the gap between the
younger generation and the
older generation, Noggle
said. I look at my husband
and father-in-law (Randy
Noggle). Things arent al-
ways the way grandpa did
them; in many ways we need
to embrace technology.
I dont want to leave out
the smaller farms, added
Noggle. I still want to con-
nect with those people and
help them.
Noggle said that initially
she wants to take time to feel
the pulse of the agriculture
community and its needs in
Paulding County. She wants
to take time to sit down and
talk with farmers to see what
they feel their needs are.
The new agent emphasized
Noggle selected as county
OSU Extension educator
Sarah Noggle, agriculture teacher at Paulding High School
for the past decade, will be taking over as OSU Extension edu-
cator this month.

went to the pharmacy count-
er. He handed an employee a
note demanding prescription
drugs. The note also stated
he had a gun, although no
weapon was shown.
The man received some
prescription drugs and left
through the front door. He
allegedly got into a car

GROVER HILL Paulding
County Sheriffs office continues
its investigation of a robbery of a
service station last Friday evening.
A few minutes before 8 p.m. on
Oct. 4, a male subject entered
Rosss Gas Station at the intersec-
tion of Ohio 114 and Ohio 637 and
demanded cash. The suspect as-
saulted two clerks and robbed the
cash register. He got away with an
undisclosed amount of cash.
The suspect is described as:
a white male
approximately six feet tall
weighing about 220 pounds
wearing dark pants, a ball cap
and sunglasses.
He entered the passenger side of a
Ford Explorer, possibly an Eddie
Bauer Edition, which left the scene.
It is thought the vehicle was late
1990s or early 2000s model, dark
blue over tan. A second subject may
have been inside.
On Monday afternoon, Sheriff
Jason Landers said his department
has been following up on a tremen-
dous amount of leads they have re-
ceived off Facebook and by phone.
Were putting things together,
he said. Its just a matter of getting
there.
Store clerks received minor in-
juries, but did not seek medical at-
tention at the time of the incident.
The suspect called one of the
clerks by name, and it is believed
the suspects are from the area.

ANTWERP An anony-
mous tip about a meth lab
led to the arrest of a rural
Antwerp man last week.
Jason VanCleve, age 32,
of rural Antwerp, was taken
into custody on Tuesday,
Oct. 1 after a drug-related
investigation at his resi-
dence, located at 2320 Rd
424 in Carryall Township,
according to Sheriff Jason
K. Landers.
Landers said Deputy
Caleb Miller was alerted to
the residence by an anony-
mous source who called the
sheriffs office stating
VanCleve was cooking
meth.
The sheriffs office had
received the same informa-
tion the night before; how-
ever, that investigation was
fruitless. After the informa-
tion was received on
Tuesday, Deputy Miller
contacted Paulding County
Court Probation Officer
Tony Gonzales for his assis-
tance, as VanCleve is cur-
rently on probation through
that court. While conducting
a probation search of the
property, a meth lab was dis-
covered in a detached build-
ing.
VanCleve was arrested by
Gonzales and charged with
a probation violation. A case
against VanCleve is expect-
ed to be presented to a
Paulding County grand jury
on Thursday, Oct. 10 for
charges related to manufac-
turing and assembling
methamphetamine.
This is a great example
of law enforcement agen-
cies working together. I ap-
preciate Tony for taking the

Area farmers spent much of last week attempting to avoid showers in order to bring in this years soybean crop.
Farmers looking for bumper corn crop
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
Area farmers are eagerly waiting to get
back into their fields, following substan-
tial weekend rainfall, in order to continue
harvesting one of the best crops in recent
years.
Although soybeans may not be quite as
successful as last years bumper crop,
farmers are still pleased with the 50s and
60s bushel per overall average that has
been coming in. Due to last weeks more
humid and showery pattern, bean mois-
ture had increased some last week, but
local agriculturalists are optimistic that
this weeks dry and sunny forecast will
help to bring moisture rates back down.
Earlier bean moisture rates had been in
the 12-13 percent range but some of that
increased to around 15 percent last week.
Guys that are bringing the beans in
seem very pleased, commented Susan
Arend, of Mercer Landmark Branch in
Antwerp. Most of them dont say what
type of bushels per acre they are getting,
but they are very happy so thats a good
sign.
Arend said that some farmers have
started on corn.
The guys that Ive seen seem very
pleased with what they are getting, com-
mented Arend. Moisture is pretty de-
cent, from 18 1/2 to 25 percent. The con-
sensus is that last year we had better
beans but this year has better corn.
One characteristic of this years crop is
that success is widespread throughout the
area. Jeff Lehman, of Lehman Feed Mill
in Adams County, Indiana, just to our
southwest, reported late last week that
they were getting anywhere from 175 to
200 bushels an acre and even higher on
corn, which was coming in between 19
and 25 percent on the moisture. Beans in
that area were yielding similar to the rest
of the area.
In Van Wert, officials are looking at
200 bushels of corn per acre quite fre-
quently with higher amounts also appear-
ing. The 55-65 bushels per acre bean
range is also prevalent through the area.
Many Paulding County farmers are in
agreement with the high corn yields at
this early part of harvest.
Weather conditions for harvest are pro-
jected to vastly improve over the next
several days says weather specialist Rick
McCoy, Van Wert.
We finally have that hurricane out of
the gulf that was shooting all of that mois-
ture up here and the front with dry
Canadian air has passed through, said
McCoy, who noted that several areas re-
ceived at least two inches of rain over the
weekend.
Right now it looks good from here on
out, continued McCoy. At the National
Weather Service, they are saying warm
dry afternoons in the low 70s and plenty
of sunshine to continue through the
weekend. Thats the formula we are look-
ing for.
At the Ohio State University Extension
office in Columbus, agriculture leaders
are especially asking farmers to be alert
to weeds in their fields during harvest that
show any herbicide resistance. Farmers
are asked to report lingering weeds that
should have been destroyed by proper
herbicide usage to their local extension
agent.

Paulding County 4-H robotics team compet-
ed at the 63rd National 4-H Engineering
Challenge held Sept. 29-Oct. 1 in West
Lafayette, Ind.
The robotics team from Ohio was made up
of three Paulding County 4-H members. The
team consisted of Matthew Klopfenstein, Arlen
Stoller and Alec Kuhn. There were 12 mem-
bers from Ohio that participated at this nation-
al competition.
The team members spent a lot of time
preparing for this competition. VEX robot kits
were used in the competition and the teams had
approximately 24 hours to design and construct
their robot to do specific tasks.
Klopfenstein placed first in the Remote
Control Challenge where he had to program his
robot to pick up golf balls and place the golf
balls in drains on a rotating wheel to accumu-
late points. There were five different teams
competing in this part of the competition.
Matthew had a total of three minutes to com-
plete the task.
Stoller and Kuhn took first in the Automated
Control portion of the contest. Their robot had
to complete an obstacle course in two minutes.
Stoller and Kuhn were able to complete this
task in less than 30 seconds.
The team did a great job at the competition
and was glad to be representing team Ohio, as
well as the Paulding County 4-H Program.
They said this was a wonderful opportunity and
they enjoyed getting the chance to meet new
people from different states.
The Paulding County 4-H Program would
like to congratulate them on a job well done at
nationals and encourage them to keep up the
great work.

PAULDING A new serv-
ice is available to county resi-
dents from the Paulding
County Sheriffs office. Since
Oct. 1, they are helping peo-
ple dispose of old and/or ex-
pired pill-form narcotics or
prescriptions by use of an
RxDrugDropBox.
Sheriff Jason Landers has
purchased a secured lock drop
box for the purpose of storing
unwanted medications. As
pills are brought into the of-
fice they are logged into the
evidence room and deposited
in the drop box.
No liquids will be accepted.
Once the box is filled, the
sheriff will work with the
DEA to properly dispose of
the pills.
This service came about
after a couple citizens in the
community approached me
about becoming involved
with the National Drug Take
Back Day, which is coordinat-
ed through the DEA, said
Landers. While working
with the DEA and searching
the national event, I came
across this drop box. I truly
believe this will be a useful
service for Paulding County.
The sheriff said two sub-
jects had used the service last
week. On Oct. 3, the depart-
ment logged between 500 and
600 pills into evidence and
deposited them. As of
Monday, an additional 350
pills had been brought in for
disposal.
I am really excited to bring
this service to the citizens,
said Sheriff Landers. An ex-
ample of why this box is use-
ful would be when a loved
one passes away and family is
left with prescribed pain
killers or otherwise. Up until
now you had to dispose of
these pills in your own way.
Now folks will have a safe
and legal option to destroy the
pills.
There are times when citi-
zens need to discard their
medications and everyone
turns them away. No one will
accept your pills for dispos-
al, concluded Sheriff
Landers. This is the best op-
tion out there to safely get rid
of these pills.
Unwanted medications can
be dropped off at any time.

kettle of chicken noodle soup
ready.
On the lunch menu was
homemade wheat and white
bread (of which Emma had
75 loaves brought in by the
church women), bologna,
cheese, tomato slices, peanut
butter spread, hot pepper but-
ter, dill pickles, freezer pick-
les, red beets, strawberry jam,
butter, coffee, tea and various
kinds of cookies.
They were well prepared
and had plenty of food for
everyone. It was a lot of work
to prepare for a big service
like this, which Jacob and
Emma and family so will-
ingly did.
After dishes were all
washed, popcorn was served
to anyone still there. Emma
had invited quite a crowd
back for supper, so some of
the people decided to stay all
afternoon.
I was taking some of my
containers out to the buggy,
so they would be out of the
way, when someone came to
get me saying that daughter
Verena was choking on pop-
corn. After several of us tried
to retrieve the popcorn, we
noticed she wasnt choking,
but she was losing her breath,
couldnt talk or walk.
The EMS was called and she
was taken to the hospital. The
EMS men thought at first she
could be having a seizure, but
after treating her for one she
still didnt act different.
After taking some tests and
x-rays the doctor said she was
dehydrated and under a lot of
stress which might have led
into an anxiety attack when
she kind of choked on the
popcorn.
After being able to talk,
Verena told us her chest start-
ing hurting really bad and she
was hardly able to breath, so
she wanted to go for a drink
of water, but fell, not being
Sunday morning turned out
to be nice and sunny although
a bit on the chilly side.
Friends and family attended
our church services at Jacob
and Emmas house, in honor
of baptismal services being
held for Mose, Susan and
Elizabeth.
Jacob had two bench wag-
ons there, so he would have
plenty of benches to set up. It
was a good thing he had pre-
pared.
The big tool shed was filled
with people by the time serv-
ices started at 9 a.m. People
attended from South Holland,
Ill., Hicksville, Ohio, from
several towns in Indiana in-
cluding Grabill, Shipshe-
wana, Middlebury, Berne,
LaGrange, Nappanee and
Hersey and Charlotte, Mich.
There were also people
from surrounding church dis-
tricts in this area. Taking a
rough estimate, I would think
about 350 were in attendance.
The three young souls were
taken into the confession of
faith by Bishop Sam Bon-
trager from Nappanee, Ind.
Sam would be a great-uncle
to Mose. There were 19 min-
isters in attendance as well.
We appreciate all the sup-
port and encouragement that
was given by being there for
these three young people tak-
ing such a wonderful step in
life. May God continue to be
their guide in everything they
do. And how blessed we are
to have a savior such as Jesus
Christ who died on the cross
for all our sins.
Lunch was served to every-
one afterwards. We served 17
tables of people. Eight tables
were set at a time. In be-
tween, the settings were
quickly washed by all the
willing helpers, so they could
be reused. A lot of the chil-
dren were fed in the house
where Emma had a 12-quart
able to help herself anymore.
How blessed we felt to be
able to bring her home after
they gave her some IV fluids.
Joe and I spent the evening at
the hospital. The children ate
supper at Jacobs.
They had quite a few peo-
ple there for supper. Too bad
it had to turn out this way that
we couldnt be there, but
Gods ways are not our ways.

Commissioners discuss
wind farm tax issues
The Paulding County
Commissioners met Sept.
23 in regular session.
Auditor Claudia Fickel,
Treasurer Lou Ann Wan-
nemacher and the commis-
sioners discussed the
PILOT breakdown for the
Iberdrola wind farm. Col-
lection on the Blue Creek
Wind Farm will begin in
February 2014, for tax year
2013.
There are two townships
with turbines Blue Creek
and Latty. Breaking down
the revenue becomes chal-
lenging due to the differ-
ences in the taxing districts
millage.
The commissioners at-
tended a meeting at Wayne
Trace High School at the re-
quest of Dan Litchfield of
Iberdrola. The auditors and
treasurers of Paulding and
Van Wert counties were also
present, as well as Matt
Sutherland and John Wick-
ham of the Ohio Develop-
ment Services Agency.
Litchfield introduced Peter
Landoni and Steven Shaw of
Iberdrola. Landoni explained
he handles the economic side
of the wind farm activity. He
deals with the sell of the en-
ergy produced, in addition to
making sure the company is
contract compliant.
Shaw noted his specialty is
the taxation of the wind farm.
Iberdrolas wind farm is in
both Paulding and Van Wert
counties. He reminded the
elected officials the one-half
acre each turbine sits on is tax
exempt; however, the drive-
ways and buildings belonging
to electric companies are not.
The reason for the exemp-
tion is the energy facility in
Paulding County has 37 tur-
bines in Iberdrolas project
and Van Wert has 115. Each
turbine is expected to produce
2 megawatts of power per
year.
The service payment is
$1,000 per megawatt and the
PILOT is $8,000 per
megawatt. Payments will be
in February and July, begin-
ning in 2014.
County Court Judge
Suzanne Rister reported that
while criminal cases are
down from 2012, civil and
traffic cases are up from the
norm. She updated the com-
missioners on her request to
consider Paulding County
Court for a full-time judge-
ship.
Bids were opened for the
Cecil Wastewater Treatment
Facility Project (CDBG).
Bids included: R.G. Zachrich,
Defiance, $533,500; All Pur-
pose Contracting Inc.,
Delphos, $525,500; Vernon
Nagel Inc., Napoleon,
$565,200.
The estimate for the project
is $563,000. The specifica-
tions will be studied with a
determination to be made
later.
Tony Langham and Jerry
Zielke from Paulding County
Economic Development
(PCED) met with the com-
missioners. Langham intro-
duced Zielke as the new
PCED director. Langham
noted this would be his last
official meeting with the
commissioners and he
thanked them for the working
relationship with PCED dur-
ing his years as director.
He reviewed information
regarding the TDM3 revolv-
ing loan and bankruptcy. He
has been in contact with the
state for their recommenda-
tions as to the status of the
Antwerp ball field in connec-
tion with the loan. Langham
reported he has also spoken
with the Antwerp Ball Asso-
ciation with the same infor-
mation.
Wannemacher presented a
bill for the checking account
package related to the recent
change in depository banking
institutions.
Fickel reported she is
working on completing a sur-
vey from the state auditor.
She noted the audit will be
bid out next year. The state
auditors office will do the
legwork and present the com-
missioners with recommen-
dations as to which entity to
contract with. The state audi-
tors office will also work
closely with the countys
choice.
A resolution was approved
directing the county auditor to
amend the 2013 annual ap-
propriation by appropriating
$7,700 to the Sheriff/K-9 Ex-
pense.
They also directed the au-
ditor to transfer $13,600 to
General Fund/Probate
Court/Salaries Employees.
Also approved was for the
auditor to transfer $5,000 in
the Public Assistant Fund
Public Assistance/Purchase of
Service.

events that we have in our
county. In every small com-
munity in this county the
people take pride in their
events and wouldnt it be
great if the whole county
took the time to experience
them. Think about it in
Antwerp we have the Day In
the Park, Paulding has John
Paulding Days, Payne has
the Fall Fest in October,
Broughton has the Redneck
Jamboree and Oakwood has
the Homecoming on Labor
Day weekend. Im sure that
there are other events Im
missing; the point is the you
dont have to be from one
these towns to enjoy what
they have offer right here in
our own county.
We also have the county
fair in June that involves the
youth of the entire county,
be sure to go and support
them. It has been said that
the festival committee and
the fair board dont get
along, I would like to let
every one know that I have
supported the festival for 20
years and will continue to in
the future, and there are oth-
ers on the fair board that feel
the same way. Keep in mind
that there are a lot of great
events in our community
that people have put in
countless hours to make
happen and we should also
support their efforts.
I have heard people say, I
wouldnt go to the fair, there
is nothing there. Well Im
here to tell you that is too
bad because you are missing
a lot of good entertainment
and the opportunity to sup-
port the youth in the county.
Take the time in June to
come out to the fair one day,
you wont be disappointed.
Just remember we all call
this hunk of clay in north-
west Ohio home and if we
dont support the great
things we have in our
county, then who will?
I hope to see you at the
Fair in June 2014.

E911 levy is
renewal with
reduction
Dear Editor,
The Paulding County E-911
levy has not been reassessed
since 1999. The levy will be
on the ballot this fall as a re-
placement with reduction. The
monies from the levy pay all
operation expenses for the
communication center at the
sheriffs office. Communica-
tion officers have many duties
including answering 911 calls,
dispatching all law enforce-
ment, EMS and fire units in
the county on a 24/7 basis.
We are asking the voters to
approve a total millage of
1.074. This is a reduction of
10.5 percent from the current
1.2-mill levy.
The specific figures are
available for viewing during
normal business hours at the
Paulding County Sheriffs Of-
fice.
Your support is greatly ap-
preciated.
The Paulding County E-911
Committee:
Sheriff Jason Landers,
Lt. Brion Hanenkratt,
Fred Pieper, Greg White,
Jay Dangler, Mark Figert,
Todd Weidenhamer and
Pam Erford
Support all the
great things
in our county
Dear Editor,
Now that another year has
passed on the Flat Rock Fall
Festival, I would like to let
the [Paulding] Chamber of
Commerce know what a
great job they did with festi-
val this year. Im sure that
you had some moments, but
all in all the show was great,
the entertainment and food
was excellent and the atten-
dance was strong. So kudos
to the committee. All of the
citizens of Paulding County
should be proud that we
have such a nice festival that
draws in so many people
from out of the county.
I would like to take a mo-
ment to mention the other
Congress pay,
benefits need
nationwide vote
Dear Editor,
This is to ask why our
Federal Government as
bankrupt as they are, making
us taxpayers responsible for
more debt, cant grasp the
enormity of NO MORE
SPENDING! When the
Chrysler, General Motors,
and all of the other corporate
bailouts happened, the first
thing they insisted upon and
demanded was NO MORE
SPENDING and cut pen-
sions, payrolls and benefits.
Why are we not seeing this
happen in Congress?
I understand that the $17.6
trillion debt cant be erased
overnight; however, when the
taxpayers see Congress start
with going to Social Security
for their retirement and its
rules and policies, instead of
having a Special Retirement
System that permits pay-
ments to start for them well
before they reach age 62 for a
reduced pension or whatever
age bracket they are in for full
pensions, this is not what the
Constitution says. The Con-
gress should not be allowed to
make laws pertaining to their
pay or pensions and benefits
without bringing it to a vote
nationwide!
We taxpayers are sick of
being considered too stupid to
realize that Our Congress is
working for their agendas first
and if we are lucky maybe
something will trickle down
to us.

Your Community,
Your Newspaper,
Your Life
By Jim Zachary
As newspaper executives struggle over whether the news
should be digital first, tablet first, SMS first or print first,
readers know exactly what they want their local newspaper
to be community first.
Reading a newspaper is not like reading a novel, a maga-
zine, a history book, poetry, prose or any other type of litera-
ture.
Newspapers are not about what has happened in the past,
what is happening some place else, or what happens in an
authors imagination.
Newspapers are about us.
Newspapers are about our childs first school field trip, a
Friday night high school football game, a livestock show
hosted by the agriculture extension office or an increase in
our property tax rate. At least those are the things that a rele-
vant newspaper is all about whether your read it online or sit
down with a morning cup of coffee and enjoy the traditional
printed edition the way it was meant to be.
Newspapers viable, strong, growing, thriving newspa-
pers are all about the communities they serve.
Sure, in the interest of transparency, some newspapers
have struggled in recent years.
Many more are growing.
So whats the difference between the newspapers on a
downward spiral and those that are adding days of publica-
tion, adding staff and printing more sections and pages than
ever before?
Really it is not all that complicated.
In fact, it is rather basic.
The difference is community.
Newspapers, like any business or individual, will always
struggle when they stop doing the things they do well.
In a quest to be more modern, to be more business savvy, or
to use more silicon, we cannot lose sight of the single most
important characteristic and historically important aspect of a
quality newspaper you our readers.
We hold public officials accountable, advocate for open-
ness in government and champion the cause of ordinary citi-
zens, because we are committed to the neighborhoods, cities,
county and coverage area we serve.
Watered-down editorial pages, articles that read like a pub-
lic relations campaign for government and page after page of
wire service content will never resonate in the same way as
celebrating our own community and standing up for its citi-
zens.
Newspapers hold public officials accountable because it
makes the place we call home a better place to live and be-
cause it is the right thing to do.
Newspapers do not make the news.
They report it all of it.
Of course, a newspaper wants to celebrate its community.
We share the great human interest stories, provide a slice
of life in the county, highlight worthwhile causes, focus on
interesting people and most especially on our young people
with every edition.
With intelligent, thoughtful, compelling commentary, cou-
pled with clearly written, straightforward news reporting we
work every day to tell the truth and in that way we remain a
vital and positive part of the community.
The newspaper belongs to the community.
That is why we work every day to give citizens a voice, to
empower them and tell their stories.
That is why we hold government accountable because at
our very core we believe that government belongs to the
governed and not to the governing.
That is why we embrace the newspapers role as the
Fourth Estate.
According to historian Thomas Carlyle, Irish statesman
and author Edmund Burke (1729-1797) said, there were
three Estates in Parliament, but in the Reporters Gallery yon-
der, there sat a Fourth Estate more important far than they
all, (Heroes and Hero Worship in History, 1841).
Though in many places reporters have reduced themselves
to simply being a mouthpiece for local government, report-
ing what officials want them to report and hiding what they
dont, a community and a democracy is best served when the
newspaper provides a forum for checks and balances as the
Fourth Estate of government.
Great newspapers, relevant newspapers that are embraced
by their communities and consequently profitable, growing
newspapers have not forgotten that role and have not aban-
doned these values.
We are not the enemy of government rather we are the
champions of citizens of our community.
We know if newspapers do not stand up for citizens and
protect the rights of free speech and the rights of access to
government, then no one will.
We work each day to build a culture and incubate an envi-
ronment where those elected feel accountable to those who
elected them.
Newspapers should be the most powerful advocate citizens
have and be their open forum for a redress of grievances.
Any newspaper that represents the interests of the govern-
ing, more than the interests of the governed, is not worth the
paper it is printed on or the ink that fills its pages.
Newspapers, the good ones, still make a difference in the
communities they serve.
Burke also said, All that is necessary for the triumph of
evil is that good men do nothing.
As newspaper reporters, editors and staff, we have the
daily, or weekly, opportunity to do something something
that matters to our community and in all of our lives.
As long as people still read, still care about their quality of
life, still love the place they call home and still pay taxes,
newspapers that retain their role as the Fourth Estate and that
celebrate the lives of ordinary people, will remain relevant,
will matter to the community and be a part of your every day
life.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NEW VALUES OPEN FOR INSPECTION
Paulding County Auditor, Claudia Fickel, has announced that the 2013 triennial update values have received State
approval. County wide residential properties have received an average decrease of 3%. These values will be open for
inspection beginning October 2-11, 2013. Ohio law requires that each county in the state conduct a reappraisal
every six years. Generally in every third year following a revaluation a triennial update of values by neighborhood is
mandated to better reflect the current market conditions.
A decrease in value does not necessarily compute to a comparable decrease in tax. Ohio Legislation ensures
that approximately the same amount is collected each year for the voted millage. Therefore, levy millage rates will be
factored up or down by the Department of Taxation so that the total amount collected will remain consistent with the
amount originally voted. This is an important detail to understand because the triennial update law is designed to
equalize all values among taxpayers, not to increase revenue for the taxing authorities: in other words this is not a
means of raising taxes or lowering taxes, its a re-balancing of the tax value burden among individual properties and
classes, Fickel stressed.
An estimation of tax cannot be determined at this time due to the tax levies that are currently on the November
2013 ballot. The Department of Taxation does not release tax rates until county election results have been certified
and also the certification of values for taxing authorities that overlap adjoining counties.
In addition to a decline in residential property values, no change was recommended in regards to the industrial
and commercial property and a 15% increase in agricultural property throughout the county. The county did realize
an increase in agricultural land valuation for all properties enrolled in the CAUV tax savings program. The
CAUV soil values are determined by the Ohio Department of Taxation and updated in conjunction with the
countys triennial update. Not all Ohio counties are scheduled for reappraisal or updates in the same year.
Property owners may review their valuation in person October 2-11, 2013, at the Real Estate Department
of the Auditors Office on the first floor of the County Courthouse between the hours of 8:00 to 4:30 weekdays
or by calling the office at 419-399-8205.
The new 2013 value will also be available on the internet during this open inspection period on the real
estate website at HYPERLINK "http://www.pauldingcountyauditor.com" www.pauldingcountyauditor.com.
Property searches can be done using owner name, address, or parcel number. Once the property is found
and selected, the previous tax value and new tax value will be shown on the valuation tab.
Fickel encourages property owners to review their tax records for accuracy of their propertys characteristics;
this can be done by calling the Real Estate office or visiting the website listed above.

A Penny For
Your Thoughts....
By: Nancy Whitaker
SLOW, OLD FASHIONED OR SET
IN MY WAYS?
Well, a lot of stores have
done it already. We have not
celebrated Halloween or
Thanksgiving yet, but the
Christmas decor and gifts are
already making their appear-
ance on the shelves of stores.
I wouldnt be afraid to bet
that a lot of people already
have their Christmas shop-
ping done. I have decided that
I must be old fashioned,
maybe slow or just plain set
in my ways, because I hate
to see the seasons rushed.
Yes, we all get busy with
the holidays. For Halloween,
there isnt really a lot of
preparation, but I still like
taking the time to go into dif-
ferent stores and see the new
decorations and costumes.
I tried doing that this past
weekend and found the Hal-
loween decor hidden in an aisle
close to the middle of the store.
Of course, the candy was front
and center, but also along with
the Halloween candy, there
were bags of Christmas
candy along side of the candy
corn and pumpkins.
Then I thought of looking
for some Thanksgiving items
and was surprised to find just
a small display rack with
some decorated plates and
napkins on it. Hmmm. Not
good.
For myself, taking time to
enjoy each holiday season is
what it is all about. Sure, I will
buy lots of candy for the
masked little goblins and
witches who come to our door
Trick-or-Treating, but I really
dont want to pass out candy
canes or marshmallow Santas
just yet.
Thanksgiving is a wonderful
holiday that we all should re-
member to give thanks for our
many blessings. I like table
decorations, turkeys, pumpkins
and the gathering together of
friends and family.
Now, to me, after all the
turkey, dressing and pumpkin
pie is consumed on Thanksgiv-
ing Day, then is the time to
bring out the Black Friday
sales flyers and begin to plan
Christmas and enjoying that
precious time of year.
We used to have a tradition
to not put up a Christmas tree
until approximately the second
week of December. Of course
when I was growing up, all we
had were live trees and if put
up too early they would dry out
and start losing needles before
Christmas.
I know that many people are
just more organized than me
and they probably like know-
ing they are all ready for
Christmas.
Personally, if I shopped early
for Christmas gifts, nine
chances out of 10, I would for-
get what I had bought and
where I had stashed them. In
fact, it seems that the one year
I did shop early, I forgot that I
had purchased anything and
found them the next year.
Everyone is different. Some
always like to be ready for
everything, but like I said, I
am either old fashioned, slow
or set in my ways. Or, maybe I
am all three.
Have you noticed any
Christmas decorations or
candy displayed in the stores
yet? Do you think that some
holidays get overlooked by
merchants? Have you done
you Christmas shopping yet?
Let me know and Ill give
you a Penny for your
Thoughts.
Preventing and treating deer damage
By Mark Holtsberry
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
Bucks cant resist sapling trees and will
shred them as part of their mating ritual during
fall rut season starting in mid-September.
Known as buck rubs this damage to
young trees and shrubs can be prevented very
easily. Shredded trees can be treated to prevent
permanent damage, but earlier preventative
measures are well worth the trouble. Heres
how to do both.
The easiest deterrent to manage over time is
commercial deer-deterrent spray. Some
foresters have had great success using Liquid
Fence, a mixture of smells deer cannot toler-
ate, in an easy to use pump sprayer.
Once it dries, Liquid Fence resists wash-
ing away and will continue to work for about
a month. I would suggest spraying it on any
new planting, so deer are discouraged from
day one.
Starting in mid-September, spray the trunks
of all the young trees once per month during
fall to prevent buck damage, continuing to
spray regularly through the winter helps pre-
vent deer nibbling on trees and shrubs.
Success by surrounding tree trunks with
wire fencing, starting with a roll of galvanized
fence with a mesh of 2x4 inches or smaller, 18
inches in diameter seems to work best. Wrap
it loosely around the tree trunk, wrapping the
cutoff ends of wires to hold it in place. Bucks
might try to rub, but they quickly become dis-
couraged and move on.
The inner bark of trees is their pipeline for
water and nutrients between the roots and
leaves. Torn and shredded bark cant transmit
water up the tree and the torn flesh attracts
borers. In extreme cases, the damage is so se-
vere that the tree wont survive. A rule of
thumb is that, if the inner bark is scraped off
more than halfway around the trunk, it wont
heal soon enough for the tree to ever grow
normally.
To treat buck rubs, use a sharp box knife to
trim away the torn bark. Once you trim and
carefully clean the wound, the healing will
begin eventually, the bark will grow over and
close the gash. In the meantime, you have to
protect the exposed flesh of the tree from in-
sects and decay. Use a thick coat of tree
wound paint. The paint will wear off, so you
should repaint the area at least once a year
until its healed.
Some folks would say, Let nature take its
course, but the little trees need a helping
hand. Enjoy the deer season and be careful.

Library to host open
house and silent auction
PAULDING The Pauld-
ing County Carnegie Library
and the Friends of the Library
are hosting an open house and
silent art auction from 5-8
p.m. Thursday, Oct. 17.
Artists from throughout the
area are being asked to donate
a work of art to be included in
the silent auction. The pro-
ceeds will benefit the Friends
of the Library.
The historic Carnegie li-
brary is officially revealing its
new interior look. The walls
have been painted in natural
sand tones with all window
and crown moldings painted
in a creamy white.
The old broadloom gray
carpet has been replaced by
carpet tiles of a natural pallet.
A section of original wood
floor in the north and south
wings have been sanded,
stained and refinished. The
windows have been repaired,
refurbished and weatherized
with new storm windows and
UV protecting microshades.
The entire interior lighting
has been remounted at ceiling
height and replaced with
bright energy efficient bulbs.
The changes in the inte-
rior are phenomenal, stated
Susan Pieper, library director.
All Trades Historical
Restoration LLC. handled the
refurbishing project and paid
attention to details that never
occurred to us, like painting
the air conditioning duct
work to match the walls and
totally transforming our vin-
tage and still operational radi-
ators.
The lighting project was in-
stalled by Rob Scott from
Antwerp. Scotts company
handles large electrical proj-
ects and provided the oppor-
tunity to raise the light
fixtures to the ceiling level.
The new energy efficient
lights will potentially save the
library thousands over the
coming years.
There is a new teen section
on the main floor off the ele-
vator; the large print has ex-
panded and is on the back
fiction wing wall; and the bi-
ographies are in a cozy nook
in the south wing next to the
magazines and newspapers.
The print reference collection
is now next to the circulation
desk in the south wing.
The public is invited to
visit the library 5-8 p.m.
Thursday, Oct. 17, bid on art
work, listen to music, enjoy
refreshments and relax in this
beautiful old building, which
is becoming one of the prides
of Paulding County.

QUESTION: Were only
two months into the school
year and already were
drowning in extracurricu-
lar activities. How much is
too much? Can you suggest
any practical guidelines?
JIM: I understand and
share your concern. Thats
because kids need lots of
time, space and leisure to de-
velop their creativity and
imagination. Stress from ex-
cessive organized activity can
be a deadly enemy of a happy
and healthy childhood. While
every family is different, Id
suggest that in general, ele-
mentary and secondary
school-age kids shouldnt
take on more than one ex-
tracurricular activity per
school term.
The definition of an ex-
tracurricular activity isnt set
in stone. In evaluating each
commitment, it might be
helpful to ask some basic
questions about the time in-
volved. How many evenings
per week is your child spend-
ing away from home? If the
number is too high, you
might consider making some
cuts.
If this seems like an impos-
sible proposition, Id chal-
lenge you to ask yourself
some hard questions about
the motives behind the busy-
ness. Is it really about your
child and his best interests?
Or is the push to achieve
driven by issues of your own?
Were all susceptible to neg-
ative motives such as parental
pride, insecurity or desires to
compensate for our own un-
realized achievements. But if
allowed to run rampant, they
can end up seriously damag-
ing your childs self-image
and the dynamics of your
family interactions.
On the positive side, Id en-
courage you to strive for the
correct balance for your fam-
ily. A certain amount of
stretching can be a good
thing, but you must always
consider each individual
members unique needs and
capabilities. There are some
telltale signs that will let you
know if your kids are being
pushed beyond their limits,
depression, for example, or
irritability, emotional with-
drawal and physical symp-
toms such as stomach pain. If
you see any of these red flags,
dont delay in making the
needed adjustments.
QUESTION: How can I get
my husband to help more
with the kids? He enjoys the
fun part of raising kids like
wrestling with our toddler.
But when it comes to the
practical side of parenting,
I dont think hes pulling
his weight.
DR. GREG SMALLEY,
vice president, Family Min-
istries: Speaking from personal
experience, communication is
usually the key here. Many
couples never talk to each other
about their parenting expecta-
tions, or the fears and struggles
theyre facing as parents. In
most cases, both of them are
doing the best they can, but are
feeling insecure. The first step
is to air these feelings in an
honest, safe and non-threaten-
ing way.
Gender roles and distinc-
tions can also be a factor.
Mothers tend to have an im-
mediate connection with a
new baby, while fathers
sometimes feel uncomfort-
able and out of their ele-
ment. When Dad tries to
lend a hand, Mom may be in-
clined to correct everything
hes doing. This leads to
greater irritation on both
sides, and the husband may
shrink from trying to help.
Again, the solution is to
By Jim Daly
discuss your feelings and ex-
pectations. If youre home
full-time with the kids while
your husband is out in the
workplace, talk about what
practical aspects of this
arrangement should look like.
If you both work outside the
home, its even more impor-
tant that you clearly under-
stand what the other is
thinking.
Whatever your situation,
its important that you learn
how to function as a team.
This is another area in which
husbands and wives need to
be patient with one another
and give each other the bene-
fit of the doubt.
If youre struggling in your
roles, our staff counselors
would be happy to listen and
help. You can contact them at
855-771-HELP (4357).

Winning the Battle for a Generation

By Rick Jones
exec. director, Defiance
Area Youth for Christ
Have you recently felt disappointment or
discouragement? If youve been down or felt
defeated in some way, how do you respond?
Consider with me the following story in re-
sponse to loss and discouragement
In his forthcoming book Sometimes You
Win, Sometimes You Learn, John Maxwell
writes: British clergyman G. Campbell Mor-
gan told the story of a man whose shop had
been burned in the great Chicago fire of 1871.
The man arrived at the ruins the next morn-
ing carrying a table. He set up the table in the
midst of the charred debris, and above it
placed a sign that said, Everything lost except
wife, children and hope. Business will be re-
sumed as usual tomorrow morning.
That mans response is one that I truly ad-
mire. After such a heavy loss, where did he get
his hope? From his circumstances? Certainly
not. From good timing? No. From other vic-
tims of the fire? Theres no indication that he
did. How many others faced the future with
such positive determination? If this man saw
a bright future for himself and his family, it
was because he made a choice to have hope.
Hope is in the DNA of men and women
who learn from their losses. When times are
tough, they choose hope, knowing that it will
motivate them to learn and turn them from
victims into victors. (Leadership Wired
newsletter).
The Bible tells us hope is born in adversity,
trial or deep difficulty. In dealing with any
type of disappointment or discouragement you
may be facing please consider with me the
words of the Apostle Paul regarding ministry
of hope Romans 5:3-5 (NKJV), 3 And not
only that, but we also glory in tribulations,
knowing that tribulation produces persever-
ance; 4 and perseverance, character; and char-
acter, hope. 5 Now hope does not disappoint,
because the love of God has been poured out
in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given
to us.
The biblical prescription to disappointment
and discouragement is a hope, hope that does not
disappoint. I pray that God will abundantly bless
those who are reading this article and are expe-
riencing trials, tough times, the hope born from
the ministry of His Holy Spirit in your lives.

Time to plant the garlic!
this. How many times have
you begun digging a hole to
plant new bulbs, only to find
that youve sliced an existing
bulb in half with your spade?
Argh.
This year, Ill once again be
planting a hardneck garlic
called Music. Its the only
kind Ive ever grown. There
are many varieties available,
but we really like the mild
flavor of this one, and the
plants form the quirkiest
curlicues at the top of their
stems when they reach about
three feet tall. Garlic
scapes, as theyre called,
can be used when theyre
young and tender to make
pesto, so garlic is edible, top
to bottom!
Though it has a reputation
for creating odorous breath in
those who eat it, garlic is
good for us. Its high in an-
tioxidants and has anti-in-
flammatory and anti-fungal
properties.
Word on the street is that
garlic is useful for keeping
vampires at bay, too. Im not
sure, but I havent seen any
around, now that I think of it.
Tis the season, you know.

your garlic putting up several
inches of foliage a couple of
weeks or so after planting.
Thats okay; it takes garlic a
lot longer to mature than it
will have time to do before
the really cold weather sets
in.
Other spring bulbs will
grow foliage in the fall, too
grape hyacinths, for example.
I remember the first time I
noticed them doing this, I
thought something had gone
terribly wrong. But after a bit,
they stopped growing, winter
came in all its frozen glory,
and when spring arrived, the
grape hyacinths went on to
bloom just fine.
A friend says that some
bulbs just want to remind you
that theyre there so you dont
try to dig and plant something
else in their spot. Come to
think of it, it would be nice if
ALL spring bulbs would do

Just when you thought it
was safe to put away the gar-
den spade and hang up your
gloves, along comes October,
the month of colorful leaves
(for putting into the com-
post), and first frost. It also
means its bulb planting time,
but you knew that already.
Those sweatshirt days and
weenie roasts nights are the
perfect time for planting the
hope of spring tulips, daf-
fodils, crocuses, and alliums.
Alliums? You know the ones
those giant balls of purple
that look like oversized lol-
lipops in flower form. There
are others too, that are barely
a foot tall, and some look like
fireworks exploded at the top
of a stem.
But did you know that gar-
lic is an allium, too? If youve
ever planted the flowering
types of alliums, you have
likely caught a whiff of the
oniony odor that their bulbs
give off. The smell of garlic
isnt a whole lot different
from that of an onion, so its
not surprising that they both
belong to the same family
tree.
That means they can be
planted at the same time too,
which is early enough in the
fall that they have time to
form some roots and get set-
tled in, but not too early so as
to begin growing in earnest.
That said, you might notice

HOMESPUN
By
JIM LANGHAM
The Sounds of Silence
partment of Natural Re-
sources and the hand of a God
who is apparently overjoyed
that a small portion of His
world is being restored to
what He had in mind all
along.
At least two instances stand
out in my mind in that re-
serve. One day I was standing
near a forested area surround-
ing a swamp pond and I heard
a rustling, then a burst from
the tree right above me. And
there, in all of its splendor,
emerged a bald eagle which
tipped toward me and then
glided into flight like an air-
plane rising above a runway.
As it soared toward the
heavens, tears dripped down
my cheeks as I realized that the
Scriptures tell us that an eagle
in flight is one of the eight parts
of His creation that God Him-
self loves to see.
I could have been at the
foot of the Empire State
Building, viewing any of a
number of manmade cre-
ations and none of them
would have touched the feel-
ing in my heart I experienced
that moment when I was wit-
nessing one of the worlds
great sights to God Himself!
On another occasion, I was
determined to take a picture
of a Monarch butterfly, nearly
an impossibility because of
the way that they dart around
The tune of the oldie, The
Sounds of Silence, is play-
ing in the back of my mind as
I think about the unexpected
gift that continues to grow
within as I walk on trails in
area reserves and rustic quiet
spots.
Especially on Sunday after-
noons, the Black Swamp Re-
serve has become a refuge
from the ensuing stresses
around me and Gods crea-
tures seem to agree. One
evening as I pulled into the
parking lot, two beautiful fe-
male deer were standing in
the parking lot.
Surprisingly, rather than
breaking away from me, they
stood and eyed me over as
though they were greeting me
to a balm of quietness in the
midst of a busy world.
On that particular evening,
wild gold asters lined the path
surrounding quiet ponds as a
relaxed egret seemingly
turned the body of water into
its own nature spa.
Of course, there are the
gifts offered by the Creator
Himself, cardinals in the
Black Swamp, now colored
leaves contrasted with rich
blue skies and mystical rays
of sunlight beaming into the
darkened tree laden areas of
the swamp.
In my home area of south-
ern Adams County, Indiana,
my fondness has grown in an
area known as Loblolly Wet-
lands Reserve, part of the
old Limberlost Swamp area
that author Gene Stratton
Porter roamed in, the Indiana
version of Ohios Black
Swamp.
There, restoration has oc-
curred to the extent that 70
percent of the original plants
and animals from the origi-
nal creation have returned in
one form or another, thanks to
the careful nursing of the De-
and refuse to settle down for
humans with cameras.
On this occasion, I was on
a special mission. I have a
close friend who is as mes-
merized by Monarchs as I am
cardinals. The friend was
going through a very difficult
time dealing with the loss of
a loved one. I thought, If I
could only take a picture of a
Monarch and frame it for
such a time as this.
Just minutes later, after a
special conversation with the
Creator about the matter, a
beautiful Monarch drifted in
front of me, sat on a bush, and
seemingly was waiting to be
photographed. Nervously, I
opened my camera while the
butterfly patiently waited to
seemingly fill out its part in
this mission. Over the next
minute, I snapped six pictures
of the butterfly while it pa-
tiently waited through its ses-
sion.
Moments such as this are be-
coming more prevalent dur-
ing the sounds of silence.
Silence in the midst of Gods
beauty has become an inde-
scribable therapy in bringing
peace to my heart and receiv-
ing wisdom for certain situa-
tions in my own quietness,
and in the process, the song
on my heart has changed
from, The Sounds of Si-
lence, to Speak Lord in
Your Stillness, While I Wait
on You.
The beauty of it all is that
silence of this nature is free
for the offering and the place
where it can occur costs noth-
ing except for effort to get
there. I know that people
travel to Vegas, the Caribbean
and various other spots thou-
sands of miles away, but a
moment on a trail in the midst
of creation can generate re-
laxation unknown in mans
creation.

Pauldings Trick or
Treat set for Oct. 26
BY BILL SHERRY
Correspondent
PAULDING Carol Blodgett, manager,
and Carmen Hale, owner of the Penguin Ped-
dler Clothing, Consignment Shop attended the
Paulding council meeting Monday night to in-
troduce themselves to council and report that
the Penguin Peddler was open for business.
The store is located at 105 North Waters
Street.
Council members heard a request from Tim
Puckett requesting that the money being held
in escrow following a fire at 823 Johnson
Road be released to him.
Puckett noted that the property had been re-
stored to the conditions he had been given in
a letter from the Village of Paulding. Council
unanimously approved releasing the money
held in escrow following the approval of the
fire chief and the zoning inspector.
Village Administrator Harry Wiebe pre-
sented his agenda to council with the admin-
istrators agenda which was unanimously
approved. The items approved included two
assessments for water, sewer and refuse, one
assessment for water and sewage and a change
order the Phase 1 Sewer Separation.
The change order involved a sanitary sewer
in the alley behind Lincoln Street, Kiwanis
alley storm sewer and lower Cherry Street
storm sewer. The total cost of this change
order is $103,468.17.
Council unanimously suspended the rules
and declared an emergency and approved Or-
dinance 1463-14. This was an ordinance
which provides a note for the purchase of real
estate in the amount of $100,000.
The second reading of Ordinance 1463-13
was heard. This ordinance regards vacating an
alley between lots 15 and 16 of Olds and
Prentice Addition.
Council heard the second reading of Reso-
lution 1286-13. This is a resolution accepting
rates as determined by the budget commission.
Ordinance 1467-13 was read for the third
time and council unanimously voted to pass
this ordinance into village law. Ordinance
1467-13 is an ordinance repealing Ordinance
1268-02 in its entirety and restricting the use
of snowmobiles, four-wheelers and all pur-
pose vehicles in the village.
Councilman Mike Trausch reported that the
recreation committee had met and Rob
Goshia, high school soccer coach and past
president of the Paulding SAY Soccer league,
informed them that the SAY soccer leagues
501 C3 status was under the Putnam West soc-
cer league.
They have local elected officers for the
Paulding teams and report their finances and
fundraising to the Putnam West financial sec-
retary to be filed with the leagues records.
The committee gave the SAY soccer leagues
approval to add up to three soccer fields at Jef-
fery Park. The understanding is that once the
SAY soccer leagues surveyor had staked out
the proposed locations of the fields to the
south of the right of way for the power lines
that cross the park property, the recreation
committee would need to approve the loca-
tion. The SAY Soccer League would be re-
quired to sign a maintenance agreement with
the village before construction could begin.
The committee suggested that the Say Soc-
cer League work together with the Paulding
Youth Ball Association when it came time for
construction and use the dirt that would need
to be removed for the expansion of the parking
to the south of the ball fields for crowning the
soccer fields. Also approved was the over
seeding of the grass between the outfields of
the park.
Mayor Greg White reported that the pro-
ceeds from mayors court for the month of Au-
gust was $693 and for the month of September
$7,428.34.
White also reminded everyone not to forget
the Paulding Water Treatment Plant open
house from 9 a.m.-noon on Oct. 19.
Trick or Treat in the village is set for 5-7
p.m., Oct. 26.
The next regularly scheduled meeting will
be held at 6:30 p.m., Monday, Oct. 21.
UNITED WAY PLANS HALLOWEEN EVENT Rusty Cole, Bob
Flory, Nick Elliott and Chuck Gibson, known as Memory Lane,
will be playing country music for the United Way of Paulding
County Halloween fundraiser from 8-11 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 26
at the Paulding Eagles.

Library hopes to partner with area
churches in homebound program
PAULDING The Pauld-
ing County Carnegie Li-
brary is interested in
providing library service to
those who may be home-
bound by partnering with
area churches who make
regular visits to their home-
bound congregants.
The library would send an
initial selection of items
with the church visitor to the
homebound patron. The pa-
tron would then be able to
select from a list what sub-
jects, type of books, movies,
etc. they may be interested
in reading, viewing or lis-
tening. The church visitor
would return items for the
patron and pick up new se-
lections.
Any item which is in cir-
culation would be available
for the homebound patron to
borrow.
The library has wonder-
ful inspirational titles in
both regular and large print.
We have wholesome movies
and magazines as well as
books recorded on CD. Our
magazines represent a wide
variety of interests including
one title, Reminisce with
features stories, photo-
graphs, etc. of days gone
by, shares Susan Pieper, li-
brary director.
With the winter months
approaching, we feel this
might be a great way to get
the items in the hands of those
who are unable to get to a li-
brary.
County churches will be re-
ceiving a letter of interest for
this pilot project.
If your church is interested
in this unique partnership,
please contact Pieper at 419-
399-2032 or e-mail susan-
hillpieper@gmail.com.

department chair for OSU Ex-
tension, said that he likes the
fact that Noggle is serving in
the community where she was
raised and has established her-
self.
I feel that she will make an
excellent educator, said
Wright. Shes an outstanding
candidate and will do an out-
standing job. The community
is going to be extremely
pleased with her. She is a
member of the community
family already. It is a win-
win situation.
Jerry Zielke, chairman of
the Paulding County OSU
that she still will emphasize
programs such as Master Gar-
dener and pesticide certifica-
tion.
Its kind of like a hot air
balloon. Sometimes the fuel
goes out; we have to look back
when we refuel to see if we
have to change some things,
Noggle said. I love the teach-
ing side of things; there are
amazing opportunities. I am
going to keep the education
style still there.
Noggle will officially oc-
cupy her office on Oct. 21.
Dr. Steven Wright, West
Region director and assistant
Extension Advisory Commit-
tee, said that he is very
pleased with Noggles selec-
tion as the new agent.
Her background in agri-
culture and agriculture educa-
tion is really good, Zielke
said. She is not only a good
asset to the agriculture pro-
gram, but she will also help
with 4-H.
Coming from the teaching
area, she is very well organ-
ized. Ive worked with her be-
fore, continued Zielke. She
will probably bring new ideas
and things to the extension of-
fice, things that we need.

Rep. Burkley testifies in support of bill to assist fire and police
COLUMBUS State Rep.
Tony Burkley (R-Payne) on
Wednesday gave sponsor tes-
timony to members of the
Ohio House Ways and Means
Committee in support of
House Bill 217. The legisla-
tion, which he is sponsoring,
will eliminate the loss of for-
gone police and fire levy dol-
lars caused by the creation of
tax increment financing, or
TIF incentive districts.
Tax Increment Financing al-
lows local governments to sell
bonds, borrowing against in-
creased property tax revenues
in the future in order to fund an
infrastructure project that will
attract a business or enable the
building of new facilities.
Under current law, certain
types of levy money are ex-
empted from being used for
TIFs, including those for
community mental health,
senior citizen facilities,
county hospitals, alcohol and
drug addiction services, li-
braries, childrens services,
zoos and park districts. House
Bill 217 would ensure that
police and fire levies would
also be reimbursed for pay-
ments as a result of TIFs.
With new development
projects taking place as a re-
sult of these TIF districts, fire
and police should be using
their levy dollars to fund the
services they are meant to
provide rather than giving
that money up to pay off TIF
bonds, Rep. Burkley said.
More buildings and roads
means fire and police have a
bigger workload; they need to
hold on to their dollars in
order to protect the additional
buildings and residents in
their communities at a time
local governments are finan-
cially strapped.
House Bill 217 is being
jointly sponsored with Rep.
Jim Butler (R-Oakwood). If
passed by the Ways and
Means Committee, it could
receive a vote on the floor of
the House.
State Rep. Tony Burkley prepares to testify in support of House Bill 217 that would aid fire and police departments.

Panthers drop NWC
game at unbeaten Ada
By JIM LANGHAM
Sportswriter
ADA Paulding failed to win its first
game in the Northwest Conference at
Ada on Friday and the Bulldogs (5-1,
overall, 4-0 NWC) remained undefeated
in conference play as the unfriendly
hosts defeated Paulding, 30-6.
Ada amassed a total of 384 yards total
offense while holding the Panthers to
141 yards on their way to the conference
win. Much of Pauldings problems came
from Ada quarterback Matt Wilcox, who
rushed for 86 yards and threw the ball for
184 yards and two touchdowns passes in
guaranteeing his teams win.
Ada jumped out to a 20-0 lead at the
halfway mark before Paulding scored on
a 54-yard scoring shot from quarterback
Julian Salinas to Quentin Vance in the
third quarter. However, the Bulldogs
came back with 10 points in that period
to pull away for the win.
Ada remains tied with Delphos Jeffer-
son in the NWC lead while Paulding
dropped to 2-4 overall and 0-3 in confer-
ence play.
We had some high spots, but our
coaching staff felt that we could compete
better than we did, said Paulding head
coach Kyle Coleman. We still have this
problem of going into the game with the
pre-doubt mentality that we had in the past.
We need to come to the place where we
can work through adversity and be able to
fight, continued Coleman. We still were
able to run the football on them, but we
werent able to finish our blocks or runs the
way we were capable of doing.
Coleman said that if the Panthers could
have just scored one touchdown in the first
half, it would have been a totally different
ballgame.
We were able to get involved, but then
we would get to a certain point and they
were able to stop us, said Coleman. The
defense would shine and then at other
times it wouldnt. As coaches, we see a lot
of improvement coming along. We felt that
we played much closer than the final score
showed.
Coleman is optimistic that the team is
progressively getting better. He noted that
each week there is more progress occur-
ring in practice and in the teams spirit.
A lot of things that we are noticing in
the players now will pay off in the future,
said Coleman. We feel that we will be
competitive the rest of the way out; they
are all games that we are capable of win-
ning.
When you get to this point of the sea-
son, you want to play for the seniors. We
want to do all that we can to make sure that
our senior leaders have good memories of
this season, said Coleman.
On Friday, the Panthers will again be on
the road as they take on Allen East (2-4
overall, 1-4 NWC).

Only the lightning
can stop the Aces
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
HICKSVILLE Hickvilles
junior quarterback Johnny
Giesige scored four touch-
downs two on the ground
and two through the air while
running back Kaleb Johns
rushed for three scores to lead
the Aces past Antwerp, 46-6,
on Friday.
Played under threat-
ening skies, the rains came just
prior to halftime and continued
throughout the third quarter.
With 10:33 remaining in the
ballgame, the Green Meadows
Conference matchup was
stopped due to lightning.
The first two Antwerp pos-
sessions resulted in an inter-
ception and fumble. The Aces
took advantage of both mis-
cues; scoring on a 20-yard
run by Johns and five-yard
pass play from Giesige to
Damon Walters for a 13-0
lead with 4:16 remaining in
the opening quarter.
Following another failed
Archer possession that netted
just one yard and a punt, the
Aces met an Antwerp defense
that came up strong, holding
them to just five plays and a
Hicksville punt at midfield.
Antwerps only score came
on an 80-yard drive featuring
a 22-yard run by junior Nick
Barnhouse capped off by a
28-yard sideline scamper
from Archer QB Derek Smal-
ley. The extra point was no
good, giving the Aces a 13-6
margin with 9:29 remaining
in the second period.
Hicksville answered with a
quick touchdown, needing
just 1:23 to peel off 63 yards
on four plays. Giesige fin-
ished off the play with a six-
yard bolt up the middle for
his first touchdown of the
evening.
The next two Archer drives
were short-lived after being
intercepted on both drives.
Prior to halftime,
Hicksville put up anther score
with 1:14 remaining when
Giesige struck paydirt again
on a 35-yard romp through
the Antwerp defense. Logen
Neidhardt was perfect on the
extra point to push the
Hicksville halftime lead to
27-6.
The Aces received the ball
to start the second half and
wasted little time lighting up
the scoreboard.
On their second play from
scrimmage, Kaleb Johns ma-
neuvered his way 58 yards to
the endzone and increase the
Aces advantage to 33-6.
A blocked Antwerp punt
turned the ball over to
Hicksville in excellent field
position at the 25 yard line.
Needing just one play,
Giesige teamed up with jun-
ior wide receiver Phil Karac-
son on a 25-yard strike to put
the Aces in the drivers seat,
39-6.
The two Hicksville touch-
downs came in the first two
minutes of the third quarter
while running just three of-
fensive plays.
Antwerp continued to have
its problems holding on to the
ball.
Again, on its next two pos-
sessions the Archers turned
the ball over on fumbles. The
final Hicksville score came
with 43 seconds remaining in
the third quarter on a 19-yard
run by Johns. The extra point
was good, giving the Aces the
lead at 46-6.
The next time lightning
struck, it was through the sky
and not from one of the Aces,
forcing stoppage in play and
calling the game complete
with 10:33 showing on the
clock.
Antwerp collected 138
yards on the ground and 29
yards through the air in the
contest. Tyler Messman man-
aged to collect 58 yards on 12
carries.
For the Aces, Kaleb Johns
totaled 167 yards rushing on
11 totes while team mate
Johnny Giesige added 58
yards on six attempts. In the
air, Giesige was 3-for-8 for
62 yards.
This Friday, the Archers (1-
5, 0-3) are home to take on
Tinora (5-1, 3-0). The Rams
are coming off a 63-6 debacle
over Fairview.

Wayne Trace runs win streak to 13
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
EDGERTON On a rainy
night in Williams County,
Wayne Trace scored 30 first
quarter points and cruised to a
45-0 victory over host Edger-
ton at Stouffer Field Friday
night in Green Meadows Con-
ference football action.
The Raiders move to 6-0
overall on the season, pushing
their current win streak to 13
games, while also remaining
atop the league standings at 3-
0. Edgerton drops to 1-5 in all
games and 1-2 in the confer-
ence.
Wayne Trace lit up the
scoreboard at the 10:49 mark
of the opening quarter, taking
the games initial possession
and driving 59 yards. Colby
Speice hooked up with Cole
Shepherd for a 24-yard touch-
down pass to put the local
squad on top 8-0.
The red, white and blue
struck again on their next pos-
session. Speice found Jake
Gerber for a 38-yard scoring
strike to widen the lead to 16-
0.
We were able to get some
early points and get in front,
noted Raider head coach Bill
Speller. The rain moved in
there in the second quarter so it
was good to have a lead at that
point.
Speice added a two-yard run
with 2:15 left in the opening
quarter before tossing a five-
yard touchdown pass to Jake
Arend in giving Wayne Trace a
30-0 advantage.
Wayne Trace added another
score in the second quarter, get-
ting a 10-yard scoring strike
from Speice to Gerber to set
the margin at 38-0 at the inter-
mission.
Speice found Jared Sherry
for the final Raider touchdown
with 2:05 left in the contest as
the duo hooked up on a 13-
yard touchdown toss.
Wayne Trace finished with
165 rushing yards and 227
passing yards on the night.
Edgerton totaled 83 yards on
the ground and 20 through the
air.
Speice paced the Raider
ground game with 91 yards on
13 carries with Sherry adding
44 yards. Sherry was the top
receiver on the night, catching
four passes for 104 yards. Ger-
ber chipped in three receptions
for 57 yards and Shepherd
added two catches for 33 yards.
Wayne Trace returns to ac-
tion on Friday as the Raiders
host Hicksville, a 46-6 winner
over Antwerp last night, in a
key GMC battle. Hicksville
comes into the contest with a
record of 3-3 overall and 2-1 in
the conference.
ABOUT THE ACES: Fri-
days game not only features
the importance of a Green
Meadows Conference contest,
it also is a key game in the
OHSAA playoff races. The
Aces currently stand eighth in
Division VII, Region 24 and
have key games Friday at
Wayne Trace and next week
when they host Ayersville (5-
1). The Aces have what could
prove to be a pivotal win over
Edon (53-33) already, along
with victories over Fairview
(49-23) and Antwerp (46-6).
Hicksvilles losses have been
to Archbold (14-0), Crestview
(41-18) and Tinora (46-21).
Kaleb Johns is the top
Hicksville threat on the ground,
totaling 609 yards on the sea-
son while scoring seven times.
Jonny Giesige has 283 rushing
yards with Logen Neidhardt
(163) and Devon Wulff (118)
rounding out the top four
Hicksville runners.
Giesige is 37 of 89 through
the air for 591 yards with ten
touchdowns. Hicksvilles top
receiver is Damon Walters
with 12 receptions for 179
yards and four scores. Zach
Yoder has nine catches for
226 yards, including four
touchdowns. Neidhardt also
has converted 15 extra points
on the season.
Phil Karacson leads the
Hicksville defense with four
interceptions and Neidhardt
tops the red and white with 66
tackles on the year. Yoder has
44 stops for the Aces defense.
In Division VI, Region 20,
three GMC squads would
make the playoffs if the sea-
son would have ended after
week six. Wayne Trace sits
atop the region while Tinora
(5-1) is third and Ayersville
(5-1) is eighth.

Senior Spotlight
Stoller fits in just
fine at Wayne Trace
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
Senior Aaron Stoller, a 6-
foot-2, 225-pound center for
the undefeated Wayne Trace
Raiders, is enjoying his final
high school football season
and rightfully so. Stoller and
his team mates are in the
midst of a stellar season with
an undefeated record and
hopes for a play-off berth.
Playing football means
everything to me. Our team is
like a group of brothers and
just being with them each day
working out and then playing
the game on Friday night
means everything, said
Stoller.
The dream of playing
Raider football started back
when Aaron was in the fourth
grade and attending St. Johns
school in Payne. I started
playing football in the little
league football program
when I was attending St.
Johns and I became ac-
quainted with other kids who
would be attending Wayne
Trace. I was living in Pauld-
ing at the time, but just know-
ing those guys from the very
beginning I just knew that I
wanted to go to Wayne
Trace, Stoller said.
Still living in Paulding,
Stoller is a part of the open
enrollment that allows stu-
dents from one school district
to attend another.
Living in Paulding and at-
tending Wayne Trace has
been an easy transition, but
Stoller admits it has not al-
ways been easy on the foot-
ball field.
When I was a freshman,
we were 6-4, and then 5-5
when I was a sophomore,
then last year we went 9-1 but
missed the play-offs. This
year we are on the right track
for a conference title and a
spot in the play-offs. Its been
worth all the hard work, he
said.
Stoller feels like the game
has taught him a great deal
that will benefit him in life.
Being a lineman you have
to learn to recognize quickly
whats going on in front of
you. So, just being able to
make positive recognition is
a good leadership quality to
help me both on and off the
field. Being a football player,
people look up to you and
therefore I know the impor-
tance of being a good role
model, said Stoller.
Finding encouragement
and support comes from sev-
eral family members, accord-
ing to Stoller. Although his
parents, Byron and Kay are
divorced, they still attend
Aarons games. They are al-
ways there and I have a cou-
ple of aunts who attend. But
one of the joys of playing is
having opportunity to be on
the field with my younger
brother Noah, he said.
The younger Stoller is a
sophomore and plays junior
varsity football but also has
opportunity to play on Friday
nights.
My whole family is sup-
portive and I couldnt ask for
anything more.
An avid fan of the Ohio
State Buckeyes, Aaron recalls
when many of the OSU foot-
ball players would come to
the Defiance Mall to meet
their fans and sign auto-
graphs.
I love the Buckeyes and I
have 40 autographs of various
Buckeyes including my fa-
vorite player of all time, Chris
Gamble. He played on the
2002 National Championship
team, Stoller said.
Knowing this is his final
year to walk the halls at
Wayne Trace, Stoller, an A-B
student, has set some individ-
ual goals for himself.
I want to be an honor roll
student and I would like to
make First Team GMC in
both football and baseball,
he said.
Following high school,
Aaron is planning to attend
college with his sights set on
playing college baseball.
Right now I am leaning to-
ward Bluffton College or
Heidelberg University in Tif-
fin, and would like to pursue
a degree in sports manage-
ment. With a degree Aaron
would like to work behind the
scenes for a large organiza-
tion like the Cincinnati Reds
or the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Wayne Trace High School,
like playing football and the
Buckeyes, means so much to
Aaron. Ive enjoyed my time
here and knowing its coming
to a close is tough. Its going
to be hard to leave but I am
ready to move forward, he
concluded.

Panthers Bland wraps up
high school links career
Paulding senior Jerika Bland participated in the Fort Wayne
Parks and Recreation Junior Golf tournament series this sum-
mer, winning first place overall and a sportsmanship award. Last
week, she completed the season for the PHS girls varsity team.
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
ARLINGTON A very
successful senior season
came to a close last Monday
afternoon as Pauldings Jerika
Bland saw her high school
golf career come to an end
with a 90 in the Division II
girls golf district at Sycamore
Springs Golf Course.
Bland finished in a tie for
13th place in the tournament
after struggling early in the
round according to head
coach Mike Miller.
She got off to an unchar-
acteristic slow start and it re-
ally hurt her, noted Miller.
Once she was able to get
past that and get her compo-
sure back, she played pretty
well from that point on. It
was just too much to over-
come on a tough course.
Miller also stated he was
very pleased with Blands
season, both on the course
and off.
One area Jerika worked
very hard on was to improve
her short game, continued
the Panther head coach. She
has also improved her accu-
racy this year and she contin-
ues to try and improve her
overall game.
The Panther mentor also
stated that Bland was a key
leader for the maroon and
white this year.
She was a very good
leader for us, Miller added.
She was able to encourage
the girls and be very compli-
mentary with them as well.
Jerika also did a good job of
trying to help the other girls
but do it in a positive way.
Bland will play golf at In-
diana Tech next fall under the
direction of head coach Kelly
Mettert and major in psychol-
ogy. The Panther senior
played in Fort Wayne this
past summer as part of the
Fort Wayne Junior Golf Asso-
ciation, winning a pair of
tournaments while place third
in four and fifth in another.
The extra time was worth
it, according to Jerika.
It was a lot of fun, com-
mented the Panther senior.
Golf has allowed me to
make some friends from
other schools and it has just
been enjoyable to play.
Golf isnt the only sport
that Bland participates in.
Jerika is a four-year letter
winner in softball as well as a
two-year letter winner in bas-
ketball for the maroon and
white.
She stays very busy,
commented Marsha, Jerikas
mom. She has played sports
pretty much year round and
we have enjoyed it as well.
Its something she has en-
joyed a lot.
Golf, though, is Jerikas fa-
vorite, and having a girls
team has really been a posi-
tive for the maroon and
white.
My first two years, we
didnt have a girls team so it
was a little different playing
with the boys, continued
Jerika. Last year, we were
able to put together a girls
team and we were able to
have enough to have a team
again this year.
The Panthers not only had
a team, they put together a
very successful season by fin-
ishing with a record of 10-3.
The girls did a very good
job this year and we had a
strong season, Miller noted.
They all improved over the
course of the season and we
became more and more com-
petitive. Now, the key is to
get some more girls out next
year to play since we lose
four to graduation.
Other seniors on the ma-
roon and white roster were
Alyssa Shelmadine, Rachel
Mourey and Rachael Nicel-
ley.
Jerika, who has an older
brother Alex, also credits the
friendships she has made on
the course.
One of the best things has
been the friendships that you
develop as you compete
against other girls, Jerika
stated. The memories you
get from that are something
that you can take with you.
My parents have always
supported me and believed in
me, continued the Panther
senior. The support that I get
from teammates also has
played a big role. Just know-
ing that people believe in me
and friends like Seth that sup-
port me is a very positive
feeling.
While her season came to
end on Monday, it also the
beginning of a new chapter
