When Pauldings Krista Gonzales sat down
to watch television with her husband on a July
evening in 2011, little did she realize she was
about to encounter an unanticipated experience
that was going to change her world.
I always put my hand on my chest when I
am watching TV, said Gonzales. Something
that night didnt feel right. I
asked my husband about it and
he said its probably nothing but
suggested I might see our doctor.
The family doctor, Dr. Joseph
Kuhn, in Payne, had the same re-
sponse but suggested that she might
get it checked out.
When Gonzales conferred with a doctor at
the local hospital following some tests, she was
totally shocked. She was informed that the
biopsies had indicated cancer and that she
needed to address the problem immediately.
I wasnt worried at all. In fact, I was so con-
fident that nothing was wrong that I drove to
the doctor alone, observed Gonzales. I didnt
know what to say when he gave me the report.
I thought, Oh my gosh! I didnt hear a thing
he said the rest of the time I was there.
Because of the nature of the cancer,
Gonzales decided to go to a doctor at St. Joseph
Hospital in Fort Wayne with the thought of
having a reconstruction surgery.
I was stunned, once they got back
their reports, things were worse than I
thought, said Gonzales. There are
two kinds of cancer in the breast
and I had both of them.
Gonzales then underwent a
double mastectomy and had some
lymph nodes removed from her
right side. She also took chemother-
apy in September of that year.
To add drama to the situation, Gonzales
cracked a rib during that time period. A first

weevil, noted Noggle. We
are probably three weeks
away from our first cutting of
alfalfa at this time.
While weekend rains were
welcome in most fields that
had been planted, the amounts
received on Friday evening
and Sunday night totaled ex-
tremely variable across the
county. Friday nights rainfall
ranged between .4 of an inch
in some parts of the county to
almost 2 inches in the Grover
Hill area. Sunday nights
storms brought between 1 and
2 inches to most parts of the
county.
One other problem that area
farmers have contended with
has been windy days which
have forbidden the applica-
tions they would have liked to
put on their fields.

Area farmers went to the fields last week to spread application and plant corn and soybeans. It was a productive week as an
estimated 80 percent of the countys corn was planted.

fense of Vance. David Kinkade, who
graduated the year before Vance and
now lives in Defiance, watched Vance
go through all of this on social media
and realized he could no longer re-
main silent.
This is way too big for someone to
go through all alone and I knew I had
to speak out, said Kinkade during a
Monday morning telephone interview.
In a recent conversation with
Hanak, he commented how this was
32 years ago and the teacher in ques-
tion has been deceased for 10 years.

By JOE SHOUSE

PAULDING What has been sim-
ply referred to as the rock has devel-
oped into a story dominating Paulding
County conversation in recent days.
After a Paulding High School gradu-
ate told school board members at a
public board meeting April 29 that he
had been raped by a teacher in 1982, a
second person has come forward with
allegations and both victims, as well as
many community members, are ask-
ing for a memorial rock to be re-
moved.
The saga continues to unfold on a
daily basis with the rock being moved
from its resting place at least for
now. Sometime early Saturday morn-
ing, May 10, the rock honoring late
teacher Don Schnepp was removed
from its location near the entrance of
the middle school.
After discussing the situation with
other school leaders, I decided to have
the rock removed. In the best interest
of everyone involved and until every-
thing settles down, it was decided to
remove it to a safe place for now, said
PEVS superintendent Bill Hanak.
At the April meeting of the Paulding
school board, Barry Vance approached
school officials, asking for removal of
the rock placed in honor of former
teacher Don Schnepp. Vance spoke
candidly, accusing Schnepp of rape
when he was an eighth grade student
in 1981. During the meeting, Vance
asked the board to remove the rock
from school property as well as having
no future memorials placed in
Schnepps honor and lastly, policies be
put in place that spell out what is ex-
pected between teachers or coaches
and students or athletes on school
property during and after school.
There are other victims out there. I
know of at least eight counting my-
self, said Vance.
Over the weekend, a second victim

Things coming together for spring planting
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature writer
PAULDING - Things are fi-
nally coming together for
spring planting, says Ohio
State University Paulding
County extension specialist
Sarah Noggle. Noggle noted
that this years harsh winter
had left the warming of
ground temperatures three
weeks behind normal, com-
pared to what would be con-
sidered typical.
The warm-up into the 80s
over the weekend has helped
warm the soil in a lot of
ways, said Noggle. I know
that they are predicting cooler
temperatures at the end of the
week, but as long as they dont
fall below what is predicted,
we should be okay.
Noggle said that enough
cant be said about the way
last weeks dry weather al-
lowed farmers to put a sub-
stantial amount of their corn
and soybean seed into the
ground, particularly corn. She
noted that probably close to 80
percent of the county corn
crop was planted last week
while at least 40 percent of the
beans, and in some cases, sub-
stantially more went into the
ground.
Compared to the rest of the
state, we are really doing well
in Paulding County, said
Noggle. During our weekly
corn call this morning
(Monday), there are several
counties in the state that dont
have much corn planted.
While there appears to be no
problems on the horizon for
emerging seedlings, Noggle
advised area farmers to keep a
close watch on armyworm.
One of the countys biggest
concerns, said Noggle, is the
amount of wheat that might
have to be tilled under or
planted into another crop. The
extension advisor noted that
there could be upwards to 20
or 25 percent of the wheat
crop that might have to be ad-
dressed, due to the harsh win-
ter.
Snow and ice cover was
pretty difficult on some of the
wheat crop, said Noggle.
In fact, she said, this could
be one of the most significant
years for putting wheat under
since 1996.
If anyone has pure alfalfa
stands, where the alfalfa is
plush and green, you need to
be scouting for some alfalfa

By JIM LANGHAM
Feature writer
Third of three-part series dealing
with issues of autism.
Cathy Ruiz, service coordinator
with the Paulding County Family
and Children First Council, recently
summarized her feelings about
stereotypes surrounding individuals
with autism.
Although individuals with autism
may share basic characteristics in
their social language and behavior,
once youve met one child with
autism, youve met one child with
autism, said Ruiz.
Ruiz said that many people make
the mistake of lumping together cer-
tain characteristics into a basket and
call it autism. Nothing could be
further from the truth, she stressed.
Each individuals experience with
autism is totally separate.
Its the same way with parenting
autistic children, said Ruiz. Some
people think that because someone
else uses a totally different approach
than they do, it is wrong. That, too, is
a myth. Parenting styles and strate-
gies are totally different because the
needs of connecting with each are
different.
Certain characteristics that individ-
uals with autism spectrum do share
in common are the fact that they are
very frank, straight forward and very
upfront. But if there is something ab-
stract, they have a very difficult time
understanding and comprehending it.
They are very visual learners,
said Ruiz, a parent mentor for
Western Buckeye in Paulding
County. Often they have a great
ability for memorization.
One of the great misunderstand-
ings out there is that the actions of
one autistic person can be based on
another, continued Ruiz. We cant
base one autistic person on the basis
of another. Everyone is different.
That is why they refer to it as autis-
tic spectrum. There is a whole spec-
trum of behaviors.
One of the most important things
necessary in dealing with autistic be-
havior, said Ruiz, is giving the indi-
vidual proper support.
You need to give them time to
process things, said Ruiz.
Typically, there is a delayed reaction
for them to have time to think it
through before articulating it. It is
very difficult for them to look at you
while they talk.
Some people have the miscon-
ception that when they look away,
they are trying to ignore you. That is
not the case at all. Sometimes it is
very difficult for them to look you in
the face while you are talking. They
need to be able to concentrate and
looking away is how they process
things, said Ruiz.
Another misconception is that be-
cause autistic people dont always
show open emotion, they are unfeel-
ing.
That, too, is not true, said Ruiz.
They cant read facial expressions.
They might think you are angry
when you arent. It is also difficult
for them to give facial expression,
but that doesnt mean that they dont
care.
Gary Shulman, special needs con-
sultant and trainer, noted in the Ohio
Coalition for the Education of
Children with Disabilities, last sum-
mer that ...when your neighbor has a
child with a disability, be polite and
offer a warm friendly hand. Learn
appropriate terminology. Avoid
stereotyping and be a good friend.
A friend is a friend is a friend,
noted Shulman. You will find more
in common with your neighbor who
has a child with disability than differ-
ences. Compassion, understanding,
laughter, sharing time and support
are all the ingredients for establishing
a warm and caring relationship with
your neighbor who has a child with
special needs.

cousin, who had also suffered
from breast cancer, was con-
cerned that the disease might
have developed into bone can-
cer and insisted that she get it
checked out. Fortunately
under the circumstances, it
was determined that the in-
jured rib had occurred during
a coughing spell.
These days, Gonzales notes
that her innate sense of
strength got her through the
unexpected ordeal.
I am a strong person any-
way. This made me even
stronger. I didnt really stress
over it, said Gonzales. I had
great support. We have such
an amazing family and net-
work of friends. My husband
(Charles) was such a help
with the kids and house.
My mom was phenome-
nal with the kids. Friends and
family brought in food. I
never realized what encour-
agement and support meant
until this, continued
Gonzales.
These days, Gonzales has
an entire different outlook on
life. She has always been
close to her family, but she
wont miss anything, even the
smallest things, involving her
children.
I was not able to attend
some football games while I
was sick. That just broke my
heart, Gonzales said. That
was the hardest thing for me.
Last year, Gonzales was in-
volved in an event in Fort
Wayne known as Francines
Friends, an event in which
she publicly made some com-
ments about the illness at a
fashion show at the Expo
Center.
This was something I
would have never done, but
the opportunity to speak out
for cancer was worth it, ob-
served Gonzales.
Prior to the cancer incident,
Gonzales hadnt been in-
volved with the local
American Cancer Society
Relay For Life. She will help
lead the Survivor Lap on May
30 to open the two-day event.
Now, as an honored survivor
this year, the opportunity to
be involved and to help any-
one who has need in the area
has become a passion.
I see everything different-
ly these days, said Gonzales,
who works at the Paulding
Police Department. Its so
amazing how the whole com-
munity comes together to
raise such a phenomenal
amount of money. I feel hon-
ored to be involved with this.
For further information con-
cerning the local Relay For
Life this month, see the website
www.relayforlife.org/Paulding.
others would come forward.
At the time when Hanak
made that statement, Kinkade
knew he needed to approach
the superintendent and have a
face-to-face conversation. I
plan to contact the school and
set up a time when I can talk
to Hanak, hopefully early in
the week. He needs to hear
this from me. I also would
like to share my story with the
school board at their May
meeting, said Kinkade.
Kinkade posted on
Facebook that he had an ap-
pointment with the superin-
tendent set for Tuesday and
would be on the board agenda
to speak on May 20.
According to Kinkade,
when he and his male class-
mates were in the eighth
grade, Schnepp would invite
them to his house to watch
football and eat pizza.
Sometimes there would be
20 of us; and now, when I
look back on it all, he had a
plan. He (Schnepp) was real
good trying to win over our
trust. He was a very patient
man and he would make his
approach when he had you
alone, Kinkade said.
Upon hearing the rock was
removed, Kinkade was disap-
pointed it hadnt been de-
stroyed.
It seems like it was re-
moved simply to protect the
school. It seems like they did-
nt consider the victims. It ap-
pears that the rock rates high-
er than the emotional stability
of the victims, said Kinkade.
An online petition titled
Support Barry Vance
Remove The Rock was start-
ed May 2 on www.gopeti-
tion.com. It states, We, the
undersigned, call on the
Paulding Ohio School board
to remove the memorial rock
regarding past teacher Don
Schnepp and form new policy
regarding teacher/student re-
lationships. As of Tuesday
morning, the petition had
gained 487 signatures. Plans
call for the petition to be pre-
sented to the school board at
the May 20 meeting.
The question seems to re-
main why these students did-
nt come forward when the al-
leged attacks took place.
Kinkade has an answer for
those skeptics.
There was a time that I did
report it, but it was always
dismissed because of the kind
of home life I came from and
that I was a troubled child,
and that would be the end of
it.
There was also a time when
Kinkade was in high school
and he approached Schnepp
about the attack.
I wanted him to know that
I was going to report him and
he responded by saying, If
you want to report me then go
ahead. Who do you think they
are going to believe? When
people hear about this they are
going to say you are gay, so
go ahead.
Although Vance and
Kinkade have not spoken to
each other personally, they
have communicated on social
media. Like Vance, Kinkade
has received the support of
many. He, too, believes there
are many victims.
I think he (Schnepp) had
two victims each year he
taught. I dont know for sure.
But I know how he ap-
proached kids and tried to win
them over, said Kinkade.
There are so many people
talking but very few who have
firsthand information. We do
our best to investigate and re-
port our findings. There are
always two sides and if this
took place 32 years ago, it will
take some time to work
through the details, interview
victims, and make proper de-
cisions, said Hanak.
Hill area. Sunday nights
storms brought between 1 and
2 inches to most parts of the
county.
One other problem that area
farmers have contended with
has been windy days which
have forbidden the applica-
tions they would have liked to
put on their fields.

The Amish Cook
By: Lovina Eicher
washed and clothes gathered
to be washed. After a dreary
looking morning it looks like
it is turning out to be a nice
day. Everyone finds a job to
do either helping with laun-
dry or cleaning the basement.
The basement needs a good
cleaning after having the coal
stove going down there all
winter.
1:30 p.m. A huge laundry
hangs on the lines with a lot
having been brought in to
make room for more. The
laundry spinner sure helps
dry the clothes so much
faster. Joes sister Mary Ann
and her friend Gloria stop by
for a short visit.
1:45 Lunch is finally ready.
We have potato soup and left-
over fried chicken from last
night. I made some fresh
lemonade which is always a
good thirst quencher. I like to
eat the lemons in the lemon-
ade.
3:30 p.m. The children ar-
rive home from school and
my husband Joe soon after
that.
3:45 p.m. Daughters Eliza-
beth and Susan are home
from the factory. My sisters
are getting ready to leave. All
the clothes have been brought
in and folded. Most of the
basement has been cleaned.
So much was accomplished
today!
4 p.m. I left with Benjamin
and Kevin to go get their
cleanings at the dentist. I
reschedule for Joseph as he
doesnt feel good enough to
go.
5:50 p.m. We are back and
the girls have potatoes cook-
ing for supper, bacon fried
and dandelions washed for
me to make a dandelion
salad. It is so nice when I can
leave and the girls take over
3:15 a.m. Time to start the
day! I pack my husband Joes
lunch while he gets ready for
work. I pack a container of left-
over breakfast casserole for
him to eat at his 8:30 a.m.
break. He isnt hungry for
breakfast this early in the
morning. Then for his lunch I
pack some fried chicken,
cherry pie, and peaches.
4 a.m. Joes driver comes to
pick him up. I go back to bed
until the girls get up to leave
for work.
5 a.m. The girls are waiting
on their ride to work. They
have their lunches packed.
5:20 a.m. Elizabeth, 19,
and Susan, 18, leave for their
jobs at the RV factory.
6:15 a.m. I wake the chil-
dren up to get ready for school.
Joseph will stay home as he
isnt feeling too well.
7 a.m. Bus is here! Verena
and I get the house in order and
start to make breakfast. My sis-
ters Verena, Susan, Emma and
her two daughters plan to come
help us today so I told them to
come for breakfast.
8 a.m. Everyone is here
and we are ready to eat. On
the menu is fried eggs, pota-
toes, side pork, cheese, hot
peppers, chocolate swirl bars,
coffee and juice. Just as we
were ready to sit down to eat,
a friend stopped in to tell us
one of our calves is out. She
helped us all round the calf up
and we chase him into the
barn. Its the same one that
escaped last fall when we got
them, only hes 500 pounds
bigger now! I see that the bat-
tery on the fence charger is
dead and thats how he got
through. I change the battery.
Breakfast was delayed but we
were glad the calf didnt give
us problems.
9 a.m. Dishes are being
with the work.
7 p.m. We ate supper and
everyone seems ready to call
it a day. Joe and Benjamin
were working on digging a
trench to bury some tile. We
are trying to get the water to
drain away from the house
better when it pours rain re-
ally hard.
9 p.m. Everyone is cleaned
up and ready for bed. God has
blessed us once again. Let us
thank Him daily. Our
thoughts go back 19 years
ago today when Joes mother
passed away at the young age
of 54. Elizabeth was our only
child at that time and wasnt
even a year old. Its sad that
the children wont ever have
memories of her but God has
a reason for everything. Ill
share the recipe for dandelion
omelet that niece Elizabeth
Wengerd shared in the family
cookbook. Elizabeth will
have her 21st birthday al-
ready on May 17. The years
sure go by way too fast.
DANDELION OMELET
1/4 cup dandelion buds
1/4 cup chopped red pepper
4 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon water
Cheese
2 tablespoons butter
In a skillet, saut 1/4 cup
dandelion buds and 1/4 cup
chopped red pepper in one ta-
blespoon butter for two or
three minutes. Remove and
set aside. In the same skillet
melt another tablespoon of
butter. Beat four eggs with a
teaspoon of water and pour
into skillet. As eggs set lift the
edges and let the uncooked
portion flow underneath.
When eggs are set, sprinkle
with cheese and spoon the
dandelion mixture over half
of the eggs. Fold in half and
enjoy!

Chief donates over $209,000
to food pantries since 2009
DEFIANCE - Chief Supermarket has held
Good Neighbor Day each spring since 2009.
This years event was held April 22. Chief do-
nated a percentage of sales and proceeds from
the Buck-A-Brat event held at each Chief lo-
cation. Customer food and monetary dona-
tions and vendor support also contributed to
the total. Altogether, $18,562 was donated to
local food pantries.
Annette Hoeffel, Chief Supermarkets direc-
tor of marketing, said, Good Neighbor Day
was a total success. Since 2009, Good Neigh-
bor Day has allowed Chief to donate over
$209,000 to local food banks and pantries. We
had excellent participation from all of our
communities and these donations will make a
difference for many families that are facing
difficult situations.
Funds donated will allow local food pantries
to purchase staple food items, including pro-
duce, meat and frozen foods, at greatly re-
duced prices from the West Ohio Food Bank,
which serves more than 200 programs in 11
counties throughout West Central Ohio. Each
dollar donation to West Ohio Food Bank will
provide 25 pounds of food that will make 19
meals, enough to feed two people for three
days.
This years donation will provide 352,678
meals, enough to feed 80 families of four for
an entire year. Selected local food pantries that
are not part of the West Ohio Food Bank group
will also benefit directly from the donated
funds.
DAUGHTERS OF THE WAR OF 1812 MAKE BOOK DONATION - Sara Molitor, manager of Youth
Services at the Paulding County Carnegie Library is pictured with Gladys Donson and Gloria
Fast, members of the Jacob Stemple Chapter of the U.S. Daughters of the War of 1812. They do-
nated six books from the American Girl series featuring a main character named Caroline Abbott,
whose story is set during the War of 1812. The Daughters of the War of 1812 are women who
have proven they had an ancestor who served in the War of 1812. The American Girls series, in-
troduced in 1986, give girls an engaging glimpse into important times in Americas past. Each
characters story is told in a series of compelling books, focusing on such themes as family,
school, holiday, birthday, summer, and winter adventures. Gentle life lessons throughout the sto-
ries remind girls of such lasting values as the importance of family and friends, compassion, re-
sponsibility, and forgiveness. Each book concludes with a nonfiction picture essay, A Peek into
the Past, that further explores the characters historical period. All American Girl titles are avail-
able through the local public library.

Kudos to Glow
in the Dark 5K
participants
Dear Editor,
Paulding County, Wayne
Trace School District, and the
Payne community have always
had a special place in my heart.
Eight months ago, I was diag-
nosed with stage 4 colon can-
cer and as you can imagine life
changed. The one thing that I
wasnt prepared for was the
outpouring of support that has
been shown to my family. We
have received many cards,
gifts, thoughts, and prayers; all
of which are greatly appreci-
ated.
The culminating event,
however, was the Glow in the
Dark 5K run sponsored by the
National Honor Society at
Wayne Trace High School. I
want to personally thank the
students and advisors of this
group for thinking of me and
including me in this event. I
also want to thank the many
friends, classmates, former
teachers, and supporters who
showed up to run that night. It
was a special night and again
reminded me of how important
this area is in my life.
I dont know what lies ahead
for me but with the support,
thoughts and prayers that I
have received, I am ready to
face any challenge that comes
my way.
Steve Hall
Acknowledge
incidents, offer
apologies and
enact policies
Dear Editor,
For those of you who doubt
Barry Vances intent, why he
came forward now on a matter
that happened 32 years ago,
there is only one sole purpose
for him doing this and that is to
ensure that this does not hap-
pen again to the children at-
tending Paulding schools. Also
to inform the school board that
the person that they are honor-
ing and upholding was not the
kind of person that should be
given this recognition. What
happened to Barry, David and
who knows how many other
innocent teenagers was horrific
and it should never happen
again.
As someone who grew up in
Paulding, went to Paulding El-
ementary, Middle School and
High School this whole matter
makes me sick! I had Schnepp
as a teacher, being a girl and
someone who did not play
sports, I was completely invisi-
ble to him which was/is fine by
me. I have also known Barry
Vance half of my life; his
daughter is my best friend and
godmother to my son (who
calls Barry Papa). Barry and
his family are family to me and
they treat me as such! From
the second I heard of this hap-
pening to Barry and seeing the
pain in his eyes as he told his
story, there was no doubt about
it, this unspeakable thing had
happened to him. For anyone
who knows Barry would not
doubt him for one second.
Schnepp was a teacher
someone who was supposed to
be a trusted individual, a role
model, someone who was sup-
posed to be molding young
minds, not destroying them.
He may not have preyed on all
of the young boys, but he did
on a select few and destroyed
any childhood that they may
have had left.
Evidently Mr. Schnepp was
not the person that the people
around him thought he was.
He was not the man that the
school and town believed him
to be; he hurt children in one
of the most grotesque ways
possible. A select few were no-
tified over the years within the
school and they chose to hide
it, even threatening an aide of
losing her job for saying any-
thing. Sweeping things under
the rug and acting like it never
happened not only did not re-
solve the problem, but entitled
him to continue to prey on our
youth. How are we supposed
to send our children to a school
where we have to question
their judgment? If they have
done this once, who is to say
they have not done it more
than once?
The school board should be
apologizing to Barry for what
has happened to him, not fight-
ing him. We should be won-
dering why they are fighting so
hard to deny his allegations.
There needs to be a policy
put in effect and upheld to pre-
vent this from ever happening
again. The school should never
have allowed this to happen;
there obviously were people
that had an idea that this was
going on and they did not stop
it. They are just as responsible
for this happening as Schnepp
himself.
Letting teenage boys come
over to your house to watch
porn, letting them stay the
night, buying them things and
taking them to non-school re-
lated functions without written
parental consent are all things
that in a normal school district
would be grounds for dis-
missal. The school board,
teachers and any other person
that had any inkling that this
was going on should be
ashamed of themselves.
The rock should be perma-
nently removed and there
should be no speaking of a sec-
ond memorial. To honor some-
one who not only committed
suicide but preyed on young
children is not necessary. Just
because Mr. Schnepps sister
left the school money does not
mean that we have to put a me-
morial up for him. Why not
use the money to educate our
youth and teachers? Educate
them about how to avoid sex-
ual abuse, how to notice the
signs of someone being sexu-
ally abused, how to detect a
potential sexual predator or
suicide for that matter.
I hope for the sake of my
child that we can come to-
gether as a community, ac-
knowledge that this DID
happen, and every single one
of us do everything we possi-
bly can to make sure this does
not happen again.
I would like to reference a
website
www.svfreenyc.org/sur-
vivors_factsheet_38.html that I
believe to be relevant:
Much has been written
about the psychological trauma
associated with the rape of fe-
male victims. While less re-
search has been conducted
about male rape victims, case
research suggests that males
also commonly experience
many of the reactions that fe-
males experience. These reac-
tions include: depression,
anger, guilt, self-blame, sexual
dysfunctions, flashbacks, and
suicidal feelings (Isley, 1991).
Other problems facing males
include an increased sense of
vulnerability, damaged self-
image and emotional distanc-
ing (Mezey & King, 1989).
Male rape victims not only
have to confront unsympa-
thetic attitudes if they choose
to press charges, they also
often hear unsupportive state-
ments from their friends, fam-
ily and acquaintances
(Brochman, 1991). People will
tend to fault the male victim
instead of the rapist. Stephen
Donaldson, president of Stop
Prisoner Rape (a national edu-
cation and advocacy group),
says that the suppression of
knowledge of male rape is so
powerful and pervasive that
criminals such as burglars and
robbers sometimes rape their
male victims as a sideline
solely to prevent them from
going to the police.
Reading just this short para-
graph from the whole article,
put yourself in Barrys shoes
and then ask yourself the ques-
tion I have heard many times
over the last couple weeks.
Why has it taken so long for
him to come forward? Hope-
fully you can see what it is
saying, that most victims of
crimes such as the one com-
mitted here, do not ever come
forward!
As for Mr. Hanak and the
school who are trying to say
that no one else has come for-
ward to them, that is an out-
right LIE! Mr. Schnepp also
molested my friends brother;
unfortunately, he has since
passed away and is not able to
tell his story. But before he
passed, he told his friends,
family and church. Again,
nothing was done! I know for
a fact that my friend has con-
tacted the school; with her
brother no longer being with
us, the words of his family and
friends must not have counted
to the school as they had no re-
sponse.
In closing, I personally feel
that at this time Paulding
Schools are not a safe place for
my child to attend, which sad-
dens me being as it is where I
went to school. I am personally
going on strike! How you may
ask am I doing this? By not
sending my child to Paulding
school until this matter is recti-
fied. I hope that others may
follow my decision in this mat-
ter, maybe if enough of us join
together the school board may
take this as a serious matter in-
stead of just trying to put it
back under the rug.
I ask everyone who may
read this to PLEASE support
Barry and David, and THANK
them for being strong and try-
ing to prevent this from hap-
pening again in the future.

And this is why
kids dont tell...
Dear Editor,
It is estimated that there are
60 million survivors of child
sexual abuse in America today.
60 million. Wrap your mind
around that figure. 60 million
people would encompass the
entire state populations of
Ohio and Michigan, PLUS
California. If you think child
sexual abuse isnt happening in
our own back yard, then
youre just not living in reality.
It happens. It happens in the
best communities and the
worst. It happens in big cities
and in tiny rural villages. It
happens. And currently, it is
estimated that less than 10 per-
cent of all child sex abuse
cases are reported to police.
An even more shocking sta-
tistic is that a full 93 percent of
juvenile sex abuse victims
know their abuser. Know
them. They are not strangers.
Not someone lurking in the
night ready to steal them away.
Their abusers are friends, rela-
tives, coaches, clergy, babysit-
ters and teachers. Yes.
Teachers. They are abused by
someone they know and trust.
Dont think it cant happen
here. It has. More than 20
years ago, not long after my
husband and I were married,
he told me how Don Schnepp
would have the boys in his
class come over for movies
and pizza. How Schnepp spent
weeks gaining his trust, offer-
ing him a safe place to get
away from a chaotic home life.
How Schnepp gave him just
enough attention to make him
feel safe and trusting. And then
molested him over a period of
time, using fear and humilia-
tion to keep him quiet. For a
12-year-old kid, humiliation in
front of any kids his own age is
a huge deterrent to keep him
quiet.
It took time for him to get
up the courage to tell someone.
When he did, telling a
teachers aide, Schnepp threat-
ened them both the teachers
aide with her job, and Dave
with failing. When that didnt
work, he even tried telling a
family member, who in turn
didnt believe him.
Here we are, some 30 years
later. My husband is a success-
ful, self-employed business
man. He dealt with his abuse
many years ago and has
moved on. Im sure not all of
Don Schnepps victims have
been so lucky. He decided to
come forward to support all of
you who were victims of
Schnepp. We both want you to
know that there is nothing to
be ashamed of. Nothing that
you did wrong. The guilt lies
in a man who committed sui-
cide a telling end for him. Its
time to stop hiding.
As for Superintendent
Hanak and his holier-than-thou
attitude, he should be ashamed
at the way he has handled this.
If he had any real empathy for
the Paulding students of the
past and concern for the Pauld-
ing students of the future, he
would not allow them to be
victimized a second time with
his questioning why they
would wait so long to come
forward. A memorial such as
the rock is a powerful trigger
that could produce everything
from vivid nightmares to the
resurfacing of memories long
repressed. Anyone with an
ounce of training in psychol-
ogy would know that. I am ap-
palled that yet one more
authority figure has decided
that he can tell the young boys
hiding inside these grown men
that, No, I dont believe you.
No, you dont have any proof.
There is only one appropri-
ate action here. The rock must
go. No for now. Not for its
safety. The rock must go. For
good!
And no child should EVER
be doubted again.

Its time to
change, make
school safe
Dear Editor,
The rock was just the cata-
lyst. Whether its there or not
no longer matters! There was
an atmosphere of denial, cover
up, and protection of the
abusers that existed then. This
cannot stop until there is a fun-
damental change in the way
these incidents are handled in
the future for the safety of the
children now and the ones yet
to be brought into this world.
I know the bravery of the
ones coming forward should
be recognized, but it is not
about that anymore; its about
the righteousness of this and
exposure of the guilty, includ-
ing the administrators who
turned a blind eye, and
CHANGE! For the sake of the
children who look up to those
who teach and coach as role
models.
For those who doubt the
truth of the accusations, you
should think of the shame the
kids felt at the time, the
ridicule they would have faced
and understand that it was too
much to face at that age. I
know you remember how we
all were trying to find our
place at that age and this
would have been too much.
And the kids who did have
enough guts to speak up, but
were ignored by administrators
and some parents, WHO
WERE THEY SUPPOSED
TO TURN TO? They had no
one!
But not now, now is the time
to stop it, now is the time to
change, now is the time to
make it better, now is the time
to make it safe. This is what I
believe, this is how I feel, this
cause is just and right.
Nancy McDonald
Class of 1989
Former PHS
student supports
rock removal
Dear Editor,
Hello Mr. Hanak.
We have never met. I was
born in Paulding to a family
considered to be among the
first settlers to the area. I have
family there still. I attended
PEVS from day one until the
end of my junior year in 1986.
I am a friend of Barry Vance
and Dave Kinkade, as well as
almost everyone three years
above my class to four years
below, and then some. To say
we have Panther Pride is an
understatement.
I think you, the school board
and whatever organization in-
volved in this, should remove
the rock. Minimally, Schnepps
name should be removed from
it. I can not even grant him the
title of Mr. Because of my
relationship with that man.
Are you aware that he ad-
dressed everyone, boys and
girls alike, by only their last
name? Always? Do you know
what kind of contradiction that
is for good, considerate kids in
the eighth grade? We were told
to always respect our elders
and that respect is earned and
not given. Then throw in a
teacher, a person who should
be respected, who blatantly
disrespects students, plays fa-
vorites with the boys and the
athletes and the occasional
girl-athlete...
What I know, and I had a
cousin who fit the male athlete
role to a T, is that Schnepp
would have parties, mostly that
group of athletic boys, and buy
them pizza and all kinds of
things. I know that he bought a
pair of $80 shoes, probably
Converse basketball, for my
cousin. I know because I saw
my aunt throw a screaming fit
about I dont need no MAN
buying shoes for any kid of
mine. And they were re-
turned.
Let me tell you a personal
story. Let me preface this by
saying that Schnepp had simi-
lar beliefs to my father in that
you shouldnt miss school for
ANY REASON. If you did,
you had to report to Schnepps
room before school to get your
assignment or fail them. Also,
if I remember correctly, they
were due the next morning.
Now, my eighth grade year, I
missed a bit of school. My
cousin and I lost our grand-
mother suddenly and I had ton-
sillitis too often.
On one particular occasion, I
had missed several days with
strep throat/bronchitis. I was
worried about the make up
work and my father was
pushing so I went, too soon.
When I collected Schnepps
assignments, he was his usual
sour self and he criticized me
for missing school ... sick
was not an excuse, he said.
Later that day, during his class,
I had a coughing episode. A
real bad one and I could not
catch my breath or stop my
barking cough. I raised my
hand to be excused, only to be
blatantly ignored. Finally,
Schnepp said, Paulus, control
that cough or youre out of
here and then lectured about
how rude it was of me to come
to school sick and share it with
everyone! Excuse me?!
My cousin spoke up for me
then, asking him to let me get a
drink. By then I had tears
streaming down my face and
was really having a hard time.
Schnepp said, Paulus, go get
a drink, youre disturbing the
whole top floor! Dont come
back. I stumbled to the foun-
tain and when I came around
the corner, Deloris (Whirrett),
the secretary, met me with tis-
sues and told me she had
called my mom to come get
me. Horrible, horrible mem-
ory. He constantly took pleas-
ure in embarrassing students. I
have zero respect for him.
Why do you suppose he
killed himself? Have you
thought about that? Do good,
respectable, happy teachers
with nothing to hide kill them-
selves? I think not. I even
asked a few that I am still in
contact with.
What, exactly is your reason
for not removing the rock? Or
taking his name off of it? Did
money exchange hands? If this
whole situation is false, which
it is not, and no one has any-
thing to GAIN from his name
on that rock, why not remove
it, then? I know for certain that
you have few, if any, PHS
graduates left in the commu-
nity who care about PHS and
its students like Barry Vance
does. He is not afraid to tell it
the way it is, this I know too
well! He has pride in his
school, the kids and the com-
munity. Do you?
Please remove or modify the
rock. You have nothing to lose
by it.
Cathy (Paulus) Steele
Brownington, Vt
Former school
secretary
defends teacher
Dear Editor,
I cant believe Barry Vance
brought up such an untrue
story about Mr. Schnepp, de-
ceased.
I was middle school secre-
tary for many years until retire-
ment and we had such a
wonderful staff of fine teachers
who seldom missed a day of
school including Mr. Schnepp
and many times he was on
wrist crutches because of all
the hip surgeries he had due to
an accident when he was a jun-
ior at Ohio State University
when a car went over a curb
and broke his hip in many
places and he also had other
injuries to bones in his body.
After months in the hospital he
had to return home to with his
folks in Van Wert.
Barry thought the time to
tell the story was the right time
teacher deceased and his sis-
ter who did donate a six-figure
in name because the school
was his life.
Despite all his pain he
would help in the concessions
stand and when Mr. Beck was
not around anymore he took
over the concession and the
big thing was popcorn which
he managed too.
My husband and I took him
to Lutheran one summer be-
fore he returned to school for
another operation on the neck
and back but after that, he had
more pain and many scripts for
pain.
He was facing another oper-
ation number four and the
news was not good as he came
out and talked about wheel-
chair and best rest home to go
to.
When he was hired I had
been a secretary in middle
school several years and I was
amazed that this fella referred
to the paper room which I
never heard of. We had one
cutting board and it was in my
office and if teachers wanted to
cut paper they were at the table
close to me. Paper room was in
a room where all supplies were
kept.
Let us talk about his gen-
erosity when boys were
made fun of because shoes
were not of the best, he seen
that the parents had money to
buy the best. He loved and
used to play basketball until he
was injured. If he knew of a
student could not buy neces-
sary sports equipment, the
money was there and not a
loan! If he saw a kid not eating
lunch he would ask why and
most of the time he knew why
but the kid would say not
hungry. So out came money
to buy lunch and the kids who
knew they had forgotten
money but could pay back
came to the office and I would
write a charge the opportu-
nity was there.
I remember this one mother
who liked musicals and school
plays. He would buy two tick-
ets and give them to her and
she was to invite friend.
Mr. Schnepp was not a
strong individual, being crip-
pled as he was, I sincerely
doubt he could manhandle a
first grade boy but again I say
six figures do impress some
people. I cant see why you not
tell your wife or the principal
all of the men I worked were
people who took an interest in
the student body and would
have been the time.
There is no one to defend
him and how Barry talked to
Dale N. He was a high school
teacher who I never did see in
our building but of course,
Dale is also deceased.
Also, when students made
up tests they did this in the
classroom or study hall and
many times at the table in my
office. We are speaking of a
time when teachers who had a
free period had to go the
lounge while another class
used their room.
I know that this is a hard
thing for a new superintendent
but he has, at least, three young
men who were students of Mr.
Schnepp and I am sure they
will agree with my letter. The
monument stone should not be
removed as this was wishes of
his and a great sum of money
for the middle school.
School has changed. Back
when I was there if a student
came in crying you could put
your hand on the shoulder and
try to help. Most of the prob-
lems were parents fighting, di-
vorcing but today our teachers
probably can not listen to a
troubled kid. We had a nurse
and school counselors who
Barry should have gone to.
Before I close, with my
opinion, I want to bring up
something that has puzzled me
for years. Don bought his last
new car, a sports Cadillac,
which he promptly showed my
husband and I. This was his
hearts desire all his life even
knowing the next surgery he
would not drive. Two weeks
later he came here and it was so
scratched roof, sides and swear
words clear through paint. It
made us feel the shame of stu-
dents who went into his garage
and did this this has always
been on my mind and now
even than ever.
I heard the death certificate
said suicide but I think it
should have read accidental
as he had bottles of pain med-
ication and am sure he might
have taken a mixture and too
close together. Mr. Schnepp
will always be the decent
young man who taught a good
history class and no one can
take that from me.

In My Opinion
The regulation
administration
By Congressman Bob Latta
Our country has been plagued with sluggish job growth,
higher health care costs and an out-of-control Administration
that has interfered with almost every aspect of the American
way of life. While Washington continues to spend money it does
not have, hardworking Americans are forced to pick up the tab
in the form of costly regulations now totaling more than $1.8
trillion per year.
When I am out in the dis-
trict, job creators always state
that the primary obstacle they
face in creating more jobs is
the ever-increasing number of
regulations and the excessive
costs required to comply. At
the end of last year, the Ad-
ministration had nearly 4,000 new regulations pending, with al-
most 200 of these considered economically significant, meaning
they will each carry a cost of at least $100 million a year. Regu-
latory uncertainty both now and in the future continues to
stagnate wages and prevents many of our businesses, small and
large, from hiring.
Government expansion, especially within our health care and
energy sectors, has come to define this Administration. The
United States is the land of opportunity, but the growing costs to
live, let alone run a business, are making the American dream
unattainable for many and limiting our countrys success. With
the regulatory cost per household totaling more than $14,000
per year, or 23 percent of the national average family income,
these federal regulations are squeezing American families al-
ready limited pockets and curbing our nations prosperity.
Under Obamacare alone, more than $31.3 billion in regula-
tory costs have already been handed down to American taxpay-
ers with individuals and small businesses feeling the greatest
burden. Higher premiums, lost health care coverage and the
part-timing of our nations workforce are all direct conse-
quences resulting from these stifling regulations. The U.S.
House of Representatives has taken proactive steps to curb these
negative impacts. Most recently, the House passed H.R. 2575,
the Save American Workers Act, which would protect jobs and
ensure workers are not pushed to part-time as employers deter-
mine how to pay for the significant cost increases of providing
health care coverage under Obamacare. However, the Senate
and the President have failed to act on this legislation, leaving
individuals and small business owners to navigate the obstacles
of this poorly thought out law.
In addition, while our country is on the cusp of an energy
boom, the President continues to wage a war on American en-
ergy expansion, threatening national security and stifling our
economy. Over the past four years, the Environmental Protec-
tion Agency (EPA) has proposed or finalized more than 100 new
greenhouse gas-related regulations carrying billions of dollars in
current and future compliance costs across the U.S. energy,
manufacturing and transportation sectors. The EPAs expensive
proposal for new power plants, and forthcoming proposals for
modified and existing power plants, will be especially harmful
throughout Ohio, where more than 70 percent of power comes
from coal. These regulations will not only result in higher en-
ergy costs for consumers, but will also cost hundreds of jobs as
41 Ohio coal units are forced to shut down or convert as a result
of these regulations.
In response to this unprecedented regulatory burden, the
House passed H.R. 1582, the Energy Consumers Relief Act.
This bill, which is still awaiting action by the Senate and the
President, prevents the EPA from imposing billion-dollar regula-
tions on the energy sector without first analyzing their impacts
on gasoline, electricity prices and any potential job losses. The
additional analysis and transparency will better protect energy
users by making careful consideration of costs and benefits.
Washington must change course and alter the way it does
business, so our country can reach its full economic potential.
Legislation, like H.R. 10,the Regulations From the Executive in
Need of Scrutiny Act, or REINS Act, of which I was an original
co-sponsor, will bring accountability to Washington by weigh-
ing the benefits of major regulations with the costs they will
have on jobs and our nations economy. It will also provide
oversight to this regulation Administration, which too often
recklessly wields its pen at the sake of our future economic
growth and success.
Jobs should be our number one priority plain and simple.
The federal government does not drive this countrys eco-
nomic growth, the American people do. It is past time for
Washington to get out of the way of American ingenuity and
refocus its efforts on creating an environment that promotes
job creation, economic growth and investment, and makes
day-to-day life better for the American people.

Providing a hand up in
addition to handout
Have you ever heard about something and wondered about
what it is or does? I have and in my opinion we need to help
people have a better understanding of things like The Grover
Hill Area Ministerial Association which is moving in a direc-
tion that will, in my opinion
be a hand up in addition to
a handout(more about this
in future stories).
We are in the process of
changing our services in
order to make a bigger im-
pact on individuals and com-
munities. This change is
represented in our new logo,
Come and see how the Grover Hill Area Ministerial Associ-
ation is moving toward being a hand up in addition to being
a hand-out.
Lets do the who, what, when and where thing in an at-
tempt to help you, the reader, get a better understanding of
this organization.
Who The Grover Hill Area Ministerial Association con-
sists of 13 churches located on the eastern end of Paulding
County. The association includes a church in Junction on the
northern edge of the county then south to Mandale and
Grover Hill on the southern end of the county. One of our fa-
vored names is Eastern Paulding County Ministerial Associa-
tion but there are also churches in Melrose, Latty and
Haviland. We represent several denominations in several vil-
lages and even some country locations and we get along.
Want to know why?
What We dont need a name over our operation because
it is not about serving a church or denomination; it is about
helping others, those in need in our communities. We have
some people in our midst that need help with food so we
give them food from our three food pantries. We stock a
burnout closet with supplies for disaster relief. Some need
gas for their cars to be able to get to appointments or be with
relatives in time of sickness, so we help with gas. There are
children who need help with school supplies, book fees and
spiritual guidance so we are providing those in need with
supplies, help them with book fees and have an after school
program called Kidzone. And there is more as we are in the
planning stages for counseling and planning ministry to fam-
ilies of prison inmates. Last but not least we lead in several
community services at Christmas, Easter and during the sum-
mer.
When and where The when and where is much too
lengthy for this story but the when can be translated as when
there is a need we evaluate and sometimes refer to another
agency that is able to handle the situation better than we are
able. We are an organization that is poised and ready to help
those in need and we are beginning to help those in need
with a hand up along with the customary hand out. This
is not to brag, but wherever or whenever there is a need we
are ready and willing to help. Call or visit one of us and we
can discuss your needs.
I do hope to see you in church this Sunday; we need to talk
because, in my opinion, we have something in common.

Entertaining angels unawares
This morning in a local
restaurant, I wondered for a
few moments whether or not
I was in the presence of an
angel.
It all started when a young
waitress showed my close
buddy and me a story she had
uncovered on her phone
about a young man who was
recently killed in a tornado in
Arkansas. As the fury of the
storm bore down on the
trailer park where he lived, he
crawled into the bathtub and
kept texting his mother,
telling her how much he
loved her.
The mother kept reassuring
the son he would be okay and
he texted, saying, Its getting
closer, I love you mom.
Finally there was the awful
heart-rendering moment, Its
here, bye mom, I love you,
and unfortunately, his life was
snuffed out.
Our tenderhearted waitress
could hardly contain herself,
breaking into tears and telling
us that it was the most mean-
ingful and saddest story she
had ever read.
Presently, a lady with need
walked into the restaurant and
ordered a glass of water be-
cause she apparently had no
money.
Within minutes, she was
being served toast and an egg.
The obviously lonely soul
tried to strike up a conversa-
tion with those around her.
When she was finished, she
let out the biggest smile and
told us, Goodbye, in a
cheerful manner and left the
restaurant.
Those of us of the curious
nature looked at each other
and began asking who she
was. No one knew. She was a
stranger off the street with
no money, carrying a cheerful
countenance and friendly
smile and wave for all of us.
And the eggs and toast
where did they come from?
She had no money. Someone
looked at the compassionate
waitress and said, Did she
pay? Again her eyes filled
with tears and she said, No,
I paid for it.
When I prepared to leave, I
offered her an extra tip be-
cause I was moved by her ac-
tion. Her response also had
me teary-eyed. Oh no, I
cant do that. If I accept that,
then I wouldnt have given to
her. Just give what you nor-
mally would but I wanted to
give to her.
After all, she continued,
if I had walked the streets all
day without any money, I
would be thankful if someone
would have bought me an
egg.
The words of Hebrews
13:2 crossed my mind, Do
not forget to show hospitality
to strangers, for by so doing
some people have shown hos-
pitality to angels without
knowing it.
The only question I had in
my mind was, Who was the
angel, the waitress or the
stranger who entered the
restaurant? And a soft voice
in my heart whispered, Pos-
sibly both.

May is here ... bringing the colors and fragrance
of spring flowers, but also the unwelcome annual
bloom of garlic mustard. While its name may
sound like a spicy condiment, garlic mustard is
actually one of Ohios worst invasive weeds.
Native to Europe and Asia, garlic mustard (al-
liaria petiolata) was introduced into New York in
the 1860s and spread rapidly. It is now abundant
in the northeastern and central U.S., including
Ohio. It tends to move in initially along rivers,
roads and trails and then spread out from there.
The seeds may be carried in bits of mud on peo-
ples shoes, as well as by floodwaters and road-
way mowing equipment.
Garlic mustard grows in a wide range of habi-
tats but especially thrives in moist, shady wood-
lands, where it crowds out native wildflowers.
Producing up to 800 seeds per plant, yielding as
many as 1,800 seedlings per square foot of
ground, it quickly forms dense patches. Once it
arrives, a diverse forest understory can quickly be-
come a solid stand of garlic mustard. It has few
natural enemies in North America; even the deer
wont eat it.
Garlic mustard also contains chemicals that
suppress the fungal partners (called mycorrhizae)
that most plants but not garlic mustard depend
on to help them absorb water and minerals from
the soil. These chemicals even suppress every-
ones favorite spring mushroom, morels.
Garlic mustard is a biennial. It spends its first
year as a low-growing rosette of yellowish-green,
wrinkly-veiny leaves. The following spring, the
stems rapidly lengthen and produce clusters of
small, white, cross-shaped flowers. The flower
clusters are initially flat-topped but become elon-
gate as the shoot continues to grow. The flowers
develop into narrowly cylindrical green fruits,
which eventually turn brown and release their
seeds, after which the plant dies. Garlic mustard
is easily distinguished by its kidney-shaped to tri-
angular, prominently veiny leaves with a garlicky
odor when crushed.
It is important to watch for garlic mustard and
remove it as soon as it colonizes a site. Small
patches can easily be pulled up by hand, and a
weed-whip is helpful with larger infestations.
However, this treatment must be repeated annu-
ally because the seeds may remain viable in the
soil for five to ten years. Plants should ideally
be pulled up or cut at ground level before or
shortly after they start flowering. If the fruits
have already started to form, then either the
pulled plants should be bagged and removed
or the fruits should be removed from each
plant as it is pulled up. Fruits that are left at-
tached to the plant sometimes continue devel-
opment and release seeds even though the root
is no longer in the ground. Larger populations
may require the assistance of chemical herbi-
cides.
Garlic-mustard is
not a deli condiment
Sis Stauffer, Teresa Breedlove and Nikki McClure were the top finishers in this years version
of PCHs Biggest Loser Challenge. Combined the trio lost nearly 90 pounds, earning them a total

PCH announces winners

PAULDING The Paulding
County Hospital (PCH) Fitness
Center decided to put out the

PAYNE A promotion within the EMS de-
partment, an over due payment by the fire de-
partment due to a lack of communication was
made, and the town clean up date was an-
nounced during the Monday night Payne Vil-
lage Council meeting.
By recommendation of Mayor Terry Smith,
council unanimously approved the promotion
of Chad Lyons from EMS captain to assistant
EMS coordinator.
Also within the department, all EMS billing
will go to the EMS clerk for appropriate pay-
ment procedure.
More than six months ago, the fire depart-
ment requested the purchase of a set of fre-
quencies, followed by the request from Fire
Chief Jamie Mansfield to purchase another
frequency in order for the chief to communi-
cate with the county sheriff. According to Ron
Weck, who ordered the frequency at the re-
quest of Mansfield, several months had passed
without payment.
According to Weck, Mansfield never com-
municated with him concerning the billing or
to have Weck explain the billing for the sec-
ond frequency. Mansfield had been asked by
Mayor Smith to contact Weck on several oc-
casions, but according to Weck, he had not
talked to Mansfield for nearly six months. Due
to the payment delay, the Council voted unan-
imously to pay the $630 payment to Weck
with funds coming from the fire department.
Village resident Ray Lyons approached the
village requesting they look into how a neighbor
can be held responsible for cleaning up his prop-
erty. Police Chief Rodney Miller and zoning of-
ficer Tom Sinn will work together to develop a
plan to correct the issue. Miller and Sinn will
contact the occupant and the homeowner.
Council reminds Payne residents that the vil-
lage clean up will take place on June 21.
In other business:
Payne will have one engine and one EMS
squad participating in the county hazmat drill at
Latty Mercer Landmark on June 21.
Pot hole repairs to village streets will cost
$1,417.
The request for drawings for the 119 N.
Main St. property (Antwerp Exchange Bank)
prepared by Poggemeyer have been received.
Time Warner is still evaluating the possi-
bility of providing cable service to the Payne
area.
The next council meeting is scheduled for
Tuesday, May 27 due to Monday being a hol-
iday.

COLUMBUS Each year,
the Ohio Department of Trans-
portation (ODOT) spends $4
million on litter pick up, a pre-
ventable problem. That money
could be used to pave roads,
buy snowplow trucks or install
guardrail or culverts.
Not only is litter expensive,
but it takes us away from more
important roadwork, said

In The
Garden
Protect yourself head to toe
With days last week that were
near or above record high tem-
peratures, I think its safe to say
that weve finally put winter be-
hind us. These are a gardeners
salad days, when we love noth-
ing better than to be out on a
beautiful warm, sunny after-
noon, digging in the dirt.
Many of us are diligent about
wearing gloves while were in
the garden. Get just one nasty
blister or a cut from a sharp
blade of ornamental grass and
you dont soon forget to put
them on. If you have cats (yours
or someone elses) that think
your garden is just one big litter
box, thats reason enough right
there to wear your gloves.
If were going to be doing
any heavy digging with a spade
or shovel, we generally wear
shoes that are heavy enough to
protect our feet and allow us to
put our weight into it. Flip-flops
just wont do.
But one thing we seem to for-
get is to protect our skin. May is
Skin Cancer Awareness Month
and Im here to remind you that
its just as important to protect
your skin from the sun by wear-
ing sunscreen as it is your hands
and feet by wearing gloves and
proper shoes.
In my younger days, I
thought nothing of lying out in
the sun for hours, day after sum-
mer day, so that I could get a
good tan. I remember trips to
the Paulding pool, bottle of
baby oil laced with iodine in
hand, with not a whole lot of
time spent in the pool itself, but
by the side of it, flip-flopping so
that the back side got equal sun
time as the front.
And not too many years after
that, I was fake baking in a tan-
ning bed, once again not con-
cerned in the least at the
potential risks I was taking. I
liked being tanned and certainly
didnt think that skin cancer
would affect me. (The young
are invincible, right?)
Then my mom noticed a spot
on the top of my dads head that
turned out to be melanoma. Talk
about a game changer. That hit
home and all of a sudden, time
in the sun mattered. Melanoma
can be deadly and I now had a
family history of skin cancer.
My dad had surgery, which
included some skin grafting, and
thankfully they caught it in time.
That was 11 years ago and hes
doing fine, but it was definitely
a warning to us all that wed bet-
ter be using our sunscreen, and
that includes during garden time.
In our rush to get out there
and enjoy the long-awaited sun-
shine and warmth, we might be
tempted to skip it and not take
the extra few minutes to swipe
the sunscreen on. Dont do it. It
will be worth it not just for
your health, but it will help re-
duce the wrinkles that are made
worse by unprotected sun ex-
posure.
No, I didnt worry about
wrinkles either when I was
younger and partaking in sun
worshiping, but now I sure
wish I had. Wrinkles are in-
evitable, but for heavens sake,
we dont need to do anything to
make them worse. I mean who
wants to pay for facial peels
and Botox? Actually, Ive
earned every wrinkle I have,
and it means Ive been blessed
to live long enough to get them,
but you get what I mean.
So follow the advice of Mary
Schmich, who wrote in a com-
mencement address to new
graduates, Wear sunscreen. If I
could offer you only one tip for
the future, sunscreen would be
it. Its good advice for all of us.

MONEY TALKS?
Do you know the driving
force behind our country and
communities? Is it health, free-
dom of speech or the pursuit of
happiness? Maybe. Yes, this
country was founded on free-
dom of religion and righteous
beliefs, but ever since the Native
Americans traded wampum for
tobacco, the naked truth is that
money talks. My old grandpa
used to say, The love of money
is the root of all evil, but Id sure
like to have a root.
Money does speak. It speaks
in the schools, homes, busi-
nesses, government and
churches. It speaks in all coun-
tries, islands and domains.
Money speaks English, French,
German, Chinese and Russian.
It is multilingual. However, trust
me, it can be a tough life if you
dont have any. Yes, money is a
great asset to have and we need
it each and every day. Money
talks.
I remember going to a candy
store with a penny and standing
there staring at all the goodies
and trying to find the best piece
of candy for my money. In those
days, money was just as impor-
tant, we just had less of it. Of
course prices were cheaper and
jobs paid less. Our money didnt
speak very loud in those days.
I remember hearing about an
old man who buried his money,
went to dig it up for his kids in-
heritance and forgetting where
he put it. I also remember hav-
ing a piggy bank and being
taught to put extra pennies in it
to save for a rainy day. When
my kids were young, we would
save our loose change all year
and use it to go to the fair. I bet
people still do that today.
A Penny For
Your Thoughts....
By: Nancy Whitaker
Money talks.
I was not born into so called
money, but I have learned this
lesson, money can buy almost
anything. We dream of win-
ning the lottery or coming into
a big wind fall of money and
we think of what all we could
buy and how much easier our
lives would be. This is true, but
you know there are some things
that money cant replace. These
are things such as: love, health,
freedom and peace.
Well, I just counted my
money and I may have enough
to buy me a hamburger and a
lottery ticket. Who knows?
Maybe I will win the jackpot
and hear my money talk.
Have you ever won on a lot-
tery ticket? Have you ever
saved up money for a special
thing? Do you think money
talks? Let me know and Ill give
you a Penny for Your Thoughts.

Archers feel at home at Parkview Field

Antwerps Derek Smalley puts the tag on the Wayne Trace runner attempting to steal second
base. The Archers defeated the Raiders in the high school baseball series held at Parkview Field
in Fort Wayne 8-4.
Jim Bowers/Paulding County Progress
Starting pitcher for the Antwerp Archers, Derek Smalley delivers a pitch in the first inning of
the baseball series held at Parkview Field the home of the Fort Wayne TinCaps. The Archers de-
feated Wayne Trace 8-4 in a game that attracted over 900 people.
Jim Bowers/Paulding County Progress
About 900 fans enjoyed a perfect evening for baseball when the Archers took on the Raiders
in the minor league Parkview Field stadium in downtown Fort Wayne.
BY JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
FORT WAYNE It was a
perfect night for baseball last
Thursday. For several months,
fans from Antwerp and Wayne
Trace had anticipated the
county match up that would be
played at Parkview Field in
Fort Wayne. Originally sched-
uled as a home game at
Antwerp, the opportunity was
made available to play at
Parkview Field and both
schools jumped at the chance.
On the scoreboard, Antwerp
was the designated home team
and they played as if they
owned Parkview Field.
Like any sporting event,
there is a winner and a loser,
but it didnt seem to matter be-
cause both teams played well
and gave their respective
schools and communities
something to remember. For
the record, the Archers won the
game, 8-4. Most everyone who
attended will probably remem-
ber the experience longer than
the final score.
With the scored knotted at
one apiece, the Archers broke
the game open in the third in-
ning with five runs. In the third,
Antwerp sent 11 batters to the
plate. Pitching for the Raiders,
Colby Speice gave up two hits
in the inning but walked four
and hit one Archer batter to set
up the offensive explosion.
Antwerp had Kaden
Brumett on third, Tyler Mess-
man on second and Justin
Langham on first when Derek
Smalley smacked a sharp hit to
left field, allowing Brumett to
score.
With bases still loaded, Joe
Buerkle walked, forcing Mess-
man across the plate from
third. Trenton Copsey an-
swered with a single which
opened up home plate for
Langham and Smalley. With
Buerkle and Copsey on the
pads, Speice walked Collin
Perry and Jeffrey Coleman, al-
lowing the Archers their fifth
run of the inning and a 6-1
margin.
Trenton (Copsey) stepped
up and hit the ball well. He had
been in a bit of a slump. He had
two singles and a double along
with three RBIs. Smalley also
helped out with his bat two sin-
gles and a couple of RBIs.
said Antwerp head coach Zac
Feasby.
Leading hitters for Antwerp
were Copsey with a double,
two singles, and three RBIs
and Smalley added two singles
and two RBIs.
Winning pitcher was Mess-
man, who went two innings
giving up two hits, two strike-
outs, one walk and no runs.
Speice picked up the loss
while delivering two innings
and giving up five runs, four
hits, one strikeout and five
walks.
For the Raiders, seven dif-
ferent players had a single for
their seven hits. Marcus
McVay and Noah Stoller each
collected an RBI to go along
with their hit.
As a team, we hit the ball
much better then weve been
all season. I was able to
achieve some goals in the
game. I wanted to get everyone
in the game and everyone did
get to play. Usually, as a coach,
things dont always go accord-
ing to plan, but tonight they
did, said Feasby.
Both Feasby and Wayne
Trace coach Matt Noggle
wanted to use the experience as
a tool to help build their pro-
gram and set a foundation for
baseball at their schools. Both
coaches were able to accom-
plish this and the future looks
bright for both clubs.
Both schools sold over 900
tickets combined and the
crowd was much larger then
the fan base for game two fea-
turing Leo and Woodlan.
Note: View a slideshow of
photos from the game on the
Progress website www.pro-
gressnewspaper.org.

Antwerps Matt Reinhart crosses home plate to add a run to
the Archers total in last weeks game. The Archers and Raiders
would like to thank Parkview Field and Ortho NorthEast (ONE)
for the awesome experience of playing. They also would like to
thank the community for coming out to the ballpark and support-
ing the teams.

Panther football weight lifting,
summer camps announced
BY JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
PAULDING Paulding
head football coach Kyle
Coleman is looking forward
to the 2014-15 football sea-
son. Although Friday night
lights do not kick off until
Aug. 29 when the Panthers
travel to Wayne Trace, there
is still much work to be done
in order for the Panthers to be
ready to compete.
Currently, Coach Coleman
is encouraging those student
athletes who play football or
who have an interest in play-
ing the sport to get involved
in the off season weight lift-
ing program.
Its the off season that de-
velops stronger, faster, and
more explosive players. Our
weight lifting program is
meeting on Monday, Tuesday
and Thursday at the Wellness
Center next to the school and
is open for those kids who
will be in grade seven
through 12 next year, said
Coleman.
Right now, 20-25 athletes
are lifting weights during the
three-day schedule which be-
gins after school and last ap-
proximately 90 minutes. At
each session, one coach from
Colemans staff is present
monitoring the participants and
their progress.
Some of the players have
been working in the weight
room since December. Right
now we are looking for more
kids who may want to play
football to come out and begin
lifting and understanding what
is involved to be a Panther
football player, Coleman said.
Once school dismisses for
the summer, lifting will begin
on June 2 and will again be
held on Monday, Tuesday and
Thursday at the Wellness Cen-
ter from 8-10 a.m.
We call it weight lifting and
that is what we do, but its
much more than just lifting
weights. This off season pro-
gram will enable kids to de-
velop and become stronger and
faster players on the field of
competition. We are making
strides, but right now our
biggest need is pushing to get
more kids out. We want the
parents to encourage their kids
to get involved and to work
hard, Coleman said.
There will be two football
camps scheduled at the Pauld-
ing High School football field
this summer.
On June 3-5, from 9 a.m.-
noon will be a middle school
camp for those entering the
seventh or eighth grade in the
fall. There is no cost for the
middle school camp.
The second camp is slated
for July 17-19 from 9 a.m.-
noon and will be geared for
those in grades 2-6. The youth
camp fee is $30 and each par-
ticipant will receive a T-shirt
and awards will be presented at
the conclusion.
Order forms have been sent
home through the schools, but
if a parent is needing to register
or has questions, contact Cole-
man at 419-399-4656, exten-
sion 1178.
PLAYERS OF THE GAME Paulding-Putnam Electric Cooperative and WKSD 99.7 recently rec-
ognized members of Paulding High School football and basketball teams for outstanding per-
formance. The players were chosen by the WKSD announcers during their radio broadcasts. They

Raiders advance to face PH

HAVILAND Wayne Trace
scored three times in the first
inning and made them stand up
in a 3-2 victory over Continen-
tal in Division IV sectional
semifinal baseball at the home
of the Raiders Saturday after-
noon.
After Raider starting pitcher
Marcus McVay set the Pirates
down in order in the first, the
Wayne Trace offense got on the
scoreboard in the home half of
the inning.
The inning didnt start out
well for the red, white and blue.
Denver Burkley was thrown
out at first after trying to reach
on a bunt to lead off the game
before Broc Forrer grounded
out to Continental shortstop
Gabe Williams.
However, Colby Speice was
the games first base runner
after reaching on a single to
keep the inning alive. Speice
stole second and moved to
third on a balk by Pirate hurler
Austin Mansfield.
Noah Stoller then hit a
ground ball that Pirate second
baseman Derek Troyer was un-
able to handle, allowing Speice
to score for a 1-0 Raider lead.
Freshman designated hitter
Seth Yenser followed with a
single before senior catcher
Adam Stoller ripped a two-run
double to plate both Noah
Stoller and Yenser, widening
the Wayne Trace advantage to
3-0.
Continental cut into the
deficit in the third.
Dallas Geckle led off the in-
ning with a walk, stole second
and came around to score with
one out when Terry Dockery
III reached on a Denver
Burkley error.
The Pirates closed within 3-
2 in the next inning.
After Mansfield struck out,
Page Thomas and Jacob
Williams reached on back-to-
back singles to put runners at
first and third. Tyler Rue then
followed with a RBI single that
closed the gap to 3-2.
McVay escaped further
damage as Aaron Stoller threw
out Williams trying to steal
third for the second out before
McVay got Geckle to pop out
to Burkley at first.
With the lead still at 3-2,
Troyer led off the top of the
fifth for the Pirates with a dou-
ble but the threat ended there.
McVay retired the next three
hitters, including a strike out of
Williams, to keep the Raiders
in front.
The Raider senior hurler
dominated from there. In the
sixth, Thomas flew out to Cas-
sidy Hilkey in right field before
Williams lined out to Raider
third baseman Austin Fast. Rue
then popped out to Hilkey to
end the sixth.
In their final at bat, the Pi-
rates were unable to generate
any offense. Vern Prowant flied
out to Noah Stoller to start the
inning before McVay fanned
Geckle on a 3-2 pitch. Wayne
Trace then sealed the victory as
Troyer popped out to Denver
Burkley to end the contest.
McVay pitched a gem for the
red, white and blue, giving up
four hits, one earned run and
two walks with five strikeouts.
Marcus threw the ball very
well for us today, noted
Raider head coach Matt Nog-
gle. He was able to mix it up
speed wise and did a good job
of just throwing strikes to make
them hit the ball. He was very
effective today.
Aaron Stoller and Noah
Stoller each had doubles for the
Raiders while Speice, Yenser
and Fast added a single each.
Wayne Trace did threaten in
third as well, loading the bases
with two outs before McVay
lined out to Williams to end the
inning. In the fifth, Fast singled
and moved to second on a sac-
rifice bunt by Blaine Jerome.
Forrer followed by reaching on
an error but Geckle fielded the
ball in left field and was able to
throw out Fast at the plate for
the third out.
Both teams had good op-
portunities to score in other in-
nings, Noggle continued. I
thought Marcus really stepped
it up there in the last three in-
nings and had a little more zip
on the ball. I give a lot of credit
to our guys and the way they
battled today and played hard
for seven innings.
Mansfield took the loss, giv-
ing up five hits and three walks
with two strikeouts. None of
the three Raider runs were
earned.
Troyer had the lone Pirate
extra base hit, a double.
Thomas, Williams and Rue
each had singles for Continen-
tal.
Wayne Trace, now 7-14 on
the season, will hit the road to
Patrick Henry (17-7) on
Wednesday to battle the host
Patriots in a Division IV sec-
tional championship at 5 p.m.
Continental bows out of tour-
nament play at 3-13.

The maroon and white
scored four times in the first
before the Wildcats answered
with three runs each in the
first and second for a 6-4
lead. Delphos Jefferson
picked up two more in the
third to make it 8-4 before the
Panthers rallied in the fifth to
get the win.
Treston Gonzales got the
win on the hill for Paulding,
recording four strikeouts in
two innings of work.
Kyle Kauser and Javier
Gonzales each had a double
for the Panther offense with
Treston Gonzales adding
three singles. Damon Egnor
also had a single and a home
run for Paulding.

A Special Tribute
Saturday was grand opening day at the Scott Ball Field located in Bressler Park. The rain from
the night before dampened the ball diamond, but a field was temporally made on the grass. Two
tee-ball teams played in the park for the first time in over a decade.
The concession stand at Bressler Field in Scott is being revamped and healthy snacks are a
part of the menu. As part of opening day festivities on Saturday, May 10, there were clowns, ma-
gicians, balloon sculpturists and the Bookmobile on hand to make it a day to remember.
Scotts Bressler Field back in use after a decade
By NANCY WHITAKER
Progress staff writer
SCOTT - The Scott Ball Field had
its opening day on Saturday thanks
to many volunteers and village
workers who helped with the effort
to make the field playable again.
A storm from the previous night
made the diamond wet, so it was de-
cided to make the playing field in
the grass. Volunteers worked putting
down lines and bases then it was
time to play ball.
Fans and spectators were told to
bring lawn chairs and the day turned
out to be perfect for ball. It has been
almost 15 years since the park has
heard the crack of a bat or the yells
of support coming from parents and
fans.
After 11 months of hard work by
volunteers, it started to look like a
real playing field. They fixed the
concession stand and fencing,
cleared the grass and weeds from
the field and worked it to almost
perfection, The old dugouts were
painted and new bases put down.
These people are responsible for the
fields current condition.
Coach Chris Martinez said, The
motivation to get the ball field
usuable again was how kids were
using iPods, Nintendo DS, and
Vizio TVs and not getting out rid-
ing bikes or playing ball with
friends.
Many of our kids played in other
towns, but a lot didnt because of
the cost of gas and travel time. So
this gave us a way to get our kids
active close to home and be able to
enjoy beautiful Bressler Park, the
coach continued.
Another thing we do is offer
fresh fruit, yogurt, Gogurt tubes,
and applesauce in our concession
stand along with other traditional
items as well. People laugh when
they see the menu because I have
healthy snacks labeled and not-so-
healthy snacks labeled too.
Approximately 25 kids signed up
to play ball this year, but more are
expected next year. There are two
tee- ball teams and next year one of
those teams will play at the next
level.
On Saturday the Variety Shop
team played GH Real Waste team
and Pond Seed played GH Rosss
Service Station. On site were a ma-
gicians, balloon sculptures and the
Bookmobile, all great attractions.
Martinez said, Volunteers can al-
ways be used, they can contact me
at 520-227-6878. We have a lot to
do at the field and concession stand
yet. We will have a fundraising pic-
nic in August and will need volun-
teers and sponsorships for that.
Team coaches for the Variety
Shop are Chris Martinez, Joe Mar-
tinez while Pond Seed coaches are
Jeremy Akom and Amber Ferguson.
Pat Ross (center), superintendent of Antwerp Schools, was presented a $1,000 donation from
the Paulding Kiwanis Club for the use of their gym for the Kiwanis Clubs basketball tournament.
Nearly 300 young people participated. Stan Searing (right), treasurer of the Kiwanis Club, pre-
sented the check. Chris Johnson organized the league and got it started.
The Wayne Trace Honor Society and students from the PC Workshop enjoyed dancing at the
PC Prom held on May 4 at the Wayne Trace High School.
Summer protection starts
with immunization per ODH
Measles, mumps outbreaks provide clear warnings
COLUMBUS The ongoing measles and
mumps outbreaks in Ohio serve as a reminder
to all Ohioans that they should be up-to-date
on immunizations. The Ohio Department of
Health (ODH) reminds Ohioans that immu-
nizations are the most effective way to prevent
illness from vaccine-preventable diseases. As
summer camps, fairs, vacations and family
picnics take people away to many fun-filled
places during the warm weather months, now
is a good time to get vaccinated.
Activities that bring large groups of people
together can accelerate the spread of these dis-
eases, said ODH State Epidemiologist Dr.
Mary DiOrio. When coming into close con-
tact with sick individuals, immunizations can
provide the protection you need to keep from
getting ill.
Given the ongoing measles and mumps out-
breaks, ODH recommends that Ohioans be fa-
miliar with the signs and symptoms of the
diseases. Symptoms for measles include fever,
cough, runny nose, red eyes, sore throat and a
red rash appearing three to five days after the
start of the symptoms. Symptoms of mumps
include runny nose, cough and swelling of the
salivary glands.
When individuals are fully vaccinated, the
measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine
is 97 percent effective in preventing the
measles and 88 percent effective in preventing
the mumps. Those who are not up-to-date on
their immunizations should contact their
healthcare provider or local health department
and receive the MMR vaccine if there is no
medical reason not to do so.
ODH and its local public health partners
support the vaccine recommendations set forth
by the Advisory Committee on Immunization
Practices (ACIP) and CDC. These recommen-
dations include vaccination schedules for
when individuals (children and adults) should
receive their vaccinations.
Whether summer plans include sending the
kids to camp or traveling in or out of the coun-
try, please be aware that immunizations may
be required to protect family members from
vaccine-preventable diseases.
For more information about measles,
mumps and other vaccine-preventable dis-
eases, visit the ODH website at
http://www.odh.ohio.gov/.
