PAULDING The wind
farms in the southern portion
of Paulding County are pro-
ducing more than clean, re-
newable energy they also
are producing new revenue
for the county and several
public entities.
Representatives from EDP
Renewables North America
visited the courthouse
Wednesday, Jan. 30, bringing
with them the first installment
of the Timber Road II PILOT
(Payment In Lieu of Tax)
payment to the county.
A check for $449,212 was
presented, the first of two in-
stallments that will total about
$900,000.
These biannual payments
will continue for the life of
the wind farm project. The
second half payment is due in
July.
Timber Road II was Ohios
first industrial-scale wind
farm and has an installed ca-
pacity of 99 megawatts. It
was dedicated in October
2011 and has 55 wind tur-
bines.

One fatality
reported in
US24 crash
From Staff Reports
CECIL A multiple-vehi-
cle crash on US 24 near Cecil
on Tuesday morning report-
edly claimed the life of one
person and closed the high-
way for several hours due to a
chemical spill.
Few details were available
at press time Tuesday.
Numerous fire department,
EMS squads and other emer-
gency responders from the
county went to the scene, in-
cluding a HAZMAT team
from Defiance County.
The crash occurred just be-
fore 8 a.m. near Road 87 west
of Cecil and reportedly in-
volved two semi trucks and a
van. One truck was a tanker
filled with ethanol, which was
leaking.
At one point, responders
reported a person was trapped
in a vehicle and requested a
Jaws of Life.
At least one person was in-
jured and transported to
Paulding County Hospital.
Both the eastbound and
westbound lanes were shut
down due to the ethanol leak.
US 24 was closed between
Ohio 49 and US 127 and traf-
fic was diverted.

PAULDING There are many
steps and a respectable chunk of
time between considering and actu-
ally reopening the Paulding County
Jail, says newly elected Sheriff
Jason Landers, but the thought is
crossing his mind more with each
passing day.
For one thing, Paulding County
spent nearly $300,000 in out-hous-
ing prisoners in 2012. Up until Dec.
1, local voters had funded at least
$260,000 in bed space alone in the
Putnam County Jail. Another
$28,000 was spent in December,
said Landers.
But, that is only the beginning of
the inconvenience of out-housing
prisoners away from the local facili-
ty. There are many other expenses
that are difficult to document accu-
rately.
Paulding County deputies are
often required to travel to Ottawa
several times a day, often to carry
out menial errands that are required
by state regulations.
If one of our prisoners simply
has to go across the street from the
Putnam County Jail or a few blocks
to a doctor, we are responsible for
sending an officer to transport
them, said Landers. Then there is
the matter of transporting prisoners
down there or from there to other
places where they have to be.
There is vehicle maintenance ex-
pense, hourly pay for deputies,
meals for those doing the work and
different other small items involved

PAULDING Going into
Saturday nights Rockin It
Out Relay For Life kickoff
celebration at the Paulding
Eagles, committee member
Jillene McMichael told auc-
tioneer Aaron Timm to plan
on about an hour for the fund-
raising auction.
What McMichael didnt re-
alize was that there had been
109 donated items this year,
good enough for an event that
lasted over two hours and
raised a total of $5,300 over
$2,000 more than was raised
in last years auction.
All told, the evenings ac-
tivities raised $5,800 toward
this years relay, a great sign
of the enthusiasm for this
years Relay For Life, says
McMichael.
We are really off to a great
start, said McMichael. We
have four new teams this
year; all four were represent-
ed at the Feb. 2 event. New
team members said after-
wards that they were excited
because they see how this all
comes together. This was such
an encouraging time; the hall
was just filled with people.
McMichael said that this
years theme, Rockin it
Out, was reflected in the cus-
tomizing of many of those at-
tending who were dressed
like the rock n roll crowd
from the 1970s and 80s. She
noted that the event was a
morale booster for the whole
community in the midst of the
winter weather.
We had a snowy night, but
it was amazing how people
showed up, said McMichael.
There were cars parked all
over downtown. The place
was packed.
We had 17 teams repre-
sented at the kickoff, contin-
ued McMichael. We normal-
ly have around 25 teams in-
volved, so if that is the case
this year, we had a big per-
centage of our teams there. It
was amazing.
This was the fourth year
that the local Relay For Life
has utilized a kickoff at the
Eagles in order to motivate
teams. This years event will
begin at 6 p.m. May 31 at the
Paulding County Fair -
grounds.
This is also the 20th-year
In June 2010, Paulding
County was the first in the
state to declare the county an
alternative energy zone
(AEZ), blazing a trail for
green energy development in
Ohio. The AEZ exempts taxes
that would normally be levied
against the assets such proj-
ects and instead requires
PILOT payments.
PILOT fees are determined
by a state formula.

with each trip, said Landers.
One day last week we had
four trips in one day to
Ottawa and the next day there
were three, all at our expense.
Every day there are usually
one to four trips to their jail
on behalf of our prisoners.
Landers said that he keeps
pushing the pencil to com-
pare the cost of out-housing
with the cost of bringing back
prisoners to the local jail.
Its all about numbers. It
seems like the number of
prisoners are going up. What
would be the advantages of
bringing our prisoners back
here? It would bring back
jobs to Paulding County. It
would give us much better
control of our prisoners and
save all of the expense of run-
ning to Ottawa and back,
said the sheriff.
Landers said that he is cur-
rently waiting for discussion
with county commissioners
on the matter. Ultimately,
however, funding the jail
would fall in his hands and
come from his budget.
We would need a total
budget of at least $1.8 million
to fund a jail and keep the de-
partment going at the current
rate, said Landers, who
noted that he is currently op-
erating a budget of $1.5 mil-
lion. I figure that with at
least $200,000, I could prob-
ably bring it back up, based
on what happened in the past.
But I dont feel like is a good
time to approach voters about
the issues surrounding this.
In my mind we would
need to appropriate addition-
al funds in the budget, said
the sheriff.
Landers said that in order
to bring the facility back, he
would have to find a way to
finance salaries for jail em-
ployees. Then, there would
be the expense of getting
equipment up and running
again. All equipment would
have to be compliant with
state regulations. There
would be the cost of retrain-
ing of employees and those
associated with the facility.
Regardless of what hap-
pens, nothing is going to hap-
pen fast, said Landers. It
could take a year, even if a
decision is made at some
point to reopen it.
Its my responsibility as
an elected official of
Paulding County to take a
look at this, said Landers.
The bond issue concerning
the jail was a 20-year bond
issue. People are continuing
to pay for this building even
though it is empty. It is my re-
sponsibility to look at an
issue such as this.
celebration of the local relay,
and with the lifetime fund-
raising now just $200,000
away from the $1 million
mark, local American Cancer
Society enthusiasts are push-
ing to reach the illustrious
goal within the next two
years.
Figures released by finance
chairman Stephanie Hull indi-
cate that, after all expenses
have been paid out each year,
the local relay effort has
raised $833,190 going into
this years campaign, the 20th
year for local relay involve-
ment.
Last year, Paulding County
Relay For Life raised
$122,597, after disbursing ex-
penses. Hull said that this
years goal is $129,270, prior
to paying bills.
Does our $1 million chal-
lenge spark your interest? If
you are wondering how you
can help, please see any com-
mittee member, said
McMichael. Starting a new
team, joining an existing
team, donating as a corporate
sponsor, hosting a fund-raiser,
however you would like to get
involved, we would be hon-
ored to have you on board.
Like so many at Saturdays
kickoff, Stephanie Foltz be-
came involved with the local
committee because of a fami-
ly member that had cancer.
For six years, she was in-
volved with the Defiance
County Relay For Life. For
the past five years, she has
been involved in Paulding
County.
Its a good thing; it makes
you feel good to try to help
out those who cant be here
because they are suffering,
said Foltz.
It feels good to help peo-
ple fight cancer, said Foltzs
daughter, Arianna Posey. My
grandpa had cancer; I am
helping because of that.
called a service fee, is to be
paid directly to the county
general fund.
The service fee payable
this year for Timber Road II
totals $199,660.
The PILOT fee totals
$698,775.
Ten entities will be sharing
in this PILOT money. In
October, the county commis-
sioners passed legislation reg-
ulating the distribution of
funds. They based their deci-
sion based on which entities
currently have tax levies
within the taxing areas where
the wind farm is located.
Wayne Trace Local School
District will receive by far the
largest share; their portion is
to be 56.2166 percent. This
amounts to $392,828.22 an-
nually.
Benton Township, in which
the wind farm is located, gets
the next highest amount at
$68,263.99 (9.7691 percent);
followed closely by the coun-
tys general fund at
$63,299.33 (9.0586 percent).
Vantage Career Center will
receive $59,203.49 (8.4725
percent) and Paulding County
Board of Developmental
Disabilities gets $53,370.03
(7.6377 percent).
Also receiving funds will
be Paulding County Carnegie
Library, $26,933.25 (3.8543
percent); Tri-County Mental
Health, $12,411.63 (1.7762
percent); Paulding County
Health Department,
$9,929.31 (1.4209 percent);
Paulding County Hospital,
$6,329.93 (0.9059 percent)
and Paulding County Senior
Center, $6,205.82 (0.8881
percent).
This distribution will be re-
viewed annually.
In addition to the PILOT
and service fee revenue, the
wind farms are generating in-
come for local landowners.
Lease payments currently
total more than $1 million.
Attending the presentation
from EDP were Patrick
Maloy, tax director; Erin
Bowser, director of project
management; Brian Alberts,
operations manager Timber
Road Wind Farm; John
Taylor, tax manager.
Among those attending
from the county were
Commissioners Tony
Zartman, Fred Pieper and
Roy Klopfenstein; Auditor
Claudia Fickel and Treasurer
Lou Ann Wannemacher.
Bowser traced the begin-
nings of the wind farm proj-
ect to early 2009. Zartman
noted that our experience
with EDP Renewables has
been extraordinary. He de-
scribed them as good corpo-
rate sponsors and corporate
citizens of the county.
All agreed that Paulding
County becoming the first al-
ternative energy zone (just
five days after the governor
signed legislation) and having
one of the first wind farms in-
creased the need for team-
work between the county and
the company.
We had to figure it out to-
gether, It was a team effort,
said Taylor.
We were guinea pigs for
the state, added Pieper. It
worked out well.
Bower believes Paulding
and Van Wert counties will
continue to be hot spots for
wind energy development,
assuming state leaders dont
change their mind on current
policies.
EDP has three other proj-
ects in the two counties that
are ready to go, said
Bowser. Currently the com-
pany is working on marketing
the electricity to utility com-
panies. No construction
schedule has been set.
We want to be sure we
have a purchaser of the elec-
tricity, Bowser said.
Each year through 2015,
utility companies will be re-
quired to procure an in-
creased amount of green en-
ergy.
Asked about potential job
creation from the proposed
projects, the EDP officials
said they had more than 900
people working in different
capacities on Timber Ridge.
Of those, about 69 percent
were Ohioans. Now, 11 peo-
ple are employed full-time on
the wind farm.
They added that construc-
tion has a big impact on local
contractors, including
providers of fuel, concrete,
stone and drainage infrastruc-
ture. EDP is dedicated to
sourcing locally as much as
possible.

PAULDING When
Paulding County resident
Stephanie Hull watched her
husbands grandmother suffer
with brain cancer, it was very
enlightening to her concern-
ing the dreaded disease. In
fact, said Hull, watching the
struggle was very scary to her.
At the time, Hull wished
that there would be some-
thing she could do to respond
to the disease, but she didnt
know what. Then, one day
when Relay for Life officials
came into the library, where
she was employed at the time,
it was like the answer walked
ipants. Our relay committee
works so hard together. It is
amazing to see what is com-
ing from their work.
Mapes compared the local
relay effort as a family and
emphasized his appreciation
for being a part of something
much bigger than himself.
The biggest reason for all
of this is family, said Mapes.
I always know that we have
to fight cancer. This is a great
way to help people that cant
help themselves.
It feels so good to help
these people out, said Hull.
It gives you a sense of feel-
ing like you are doing some-
thing to fight cancer. I am
amazed at all of the people
here tonight. What a change
over the years. I look back at
those early years and I am ex-
cited about the way this has
caught on in our county. It
feels good to see how those
early seeds have grown.
through the door.
They had posters an-
nouncing Relay for Life. I
didnt even know anything
about it, but it looked like an
avenue for me to help fight
back against cancer, said
Hull. I asked them if this was
something I could do at the li-
brary. I immediately got inter-
ested and volunteered to get
involved in any way.
One way that Hull saw that
she could immediately be-
come involved was supplying
an on-site concession stand
for the relay.
I had noticed that there
were no on site fundraisers
planned, continued Hull. I
said, How are we going to
raise money like that? Stacey
Thomas and I got busy and
within four days we had re-
ceived all kinds of food dona-
tions from area businesses to
sell at the concession stand. It
showed us how the local
community would help if we
asked them.
Inspired by her zeal, local
officials asked Hull if she
would chair the event the next
year.
I accepted and it forever
changed my life. It is such a
positive thing, Hull said.
My first year as chairman,
we had three or four people
on the committee.
It is amazing what hap-
pened. Just look at this, said
Hull, referring to Saturday
nights packed house of cele-
brations, teams, food stands
and fund-raising events at the
Paulding Eagles.
These days, with the in-
tense involvement of many
county residents, Hull is con-
tent to serve as co-captain of
her team, Crew for a Cure, as
well as serving as the finance
chairman of the local event.
One former Paulding
County resident drives from
Michigan to the Relay for
Life events each year. Scott
Mapes is also related to Mary
Mapes, who first inspired
Hulls involvement. In addi-
tion, Mapes mother has also
been diagnosed with cancer.
For a long time I traveled
all over the country with my
employment, observed
Mapes. Once my schedule
changed, I wanted to com-
mute back to my roots in
Paulding County and get in-
volved.
This is my fifth year of in-
volvement with the Paulding
County Relay. This event has
grown so much since the five
years that Ive been here,
noted Mapes. There are new
teams, new faces, new partic-
the fair.
Shafer and Howell are en-
couraging input from the
community as well. A sup-
port group, called Friends of
the Fair, is being organized.
People who would like to
help out are encouraged to
participate. To get more in-
formation, call Shafer at 419-
769-1411 or Howell at 419-
769-1379.

The other pony is named
Roxy and she is mine now.
Moses Dad gave her to me.
She did have some training
before, but is still really
rowdy. I need to keep work-
ing with her, but she makes
me laugh at how stubborn she
can get.
This is Friday morning and
I had a very nice birthday
yesterday. Dad and Mom
went to the funeral of Dads
cousins wife. She lost her bat-
tle with cancer. How sad for
the family.
I stayed home and folded
laundry, washed dishes, and
cleaned up the house. Around
2:30 Mose came and took me
along to town. He had me
pick out what I wanted for my
birthday. I picked out a nice
office chair, which I will have
in my bedroom by my desk. I
will use it a lot.
I also picked out an
around the house toolkit.
Now, Ill have my own set of
small tools if I need to fix or
hang something up. Mose
bought me a Dairy Queen ice
cream cake and brought pizza
home for the whole family for
supper.
Mom and Dad had returned
from the funeral by then. It
was a treat for everyone.
Since we didnt have to
make supper, we had time to
finish the 750 piece puzzle
which we started on Sunday
afternoon. It is oval shaped
and has deer on it.
We got the puzzle from a
reader last Christmas. It was
fun to put it together. Mom
wants to do it together, be-
Hi, I am Susan and I de-
cided to write for Mom this
week. My 17th birthday is to-
morrow, Jan. 24, so my treat
to Mom is to write the col-
umn for her.
I made monster cookies
yesterday. I wanted to have
some to treat everyone for my
birthday. I am here at my
babysitting job. I brought
some cookies for them too.
The children really like the
cookies. I think monster
cookies are a treat for the
children especially since they
have M & Ms in them.
Today, I have only the twins
here. They are two years old
and the girls name is
McKenzie and the boys
name is Cole. On Monday
and Friday, I also have their
four-year-old brother, Hunter,
to babysit for.
Hunter makes me laugh.
When nap time comes he can
really talk, thinking I will for-
get about his nap. They keep
me busy, but are a joy to be
around. They are all very
cute.
McKenzie and Cole are
coloring in their books while
I am writing. They think I am
coloring too, because they
wanted to color when they
saw me writing.
It has been a very cold
week so far. I dont drive the
ponies when it is this cold. I
have two more ponies to
train. Sunny belongs to my
boyfriend, Moses, sisters
family. They want me to train
her for their little boys. He is
a miniature pony and is doing
well with the training so far.
cause my brothers want it
hung in their bedroom.
Mose has two new nieces
that were born five days
apart. Last Friday evening I
went with Mose and his fam-
ily to meet his sister, Pollys
new baby girl, Delilah
Louise. She is so sweet.
Tonight I am planning to
go with Mose to see his sister
Hannahs baby girl, Alissa
Fern.
Mose has twenty one nieces
and nephews and he has six
brothers and six sisters.
I will share the recipe I
used for the monster cookies.

HOMESPUN
By
JIM LANGHAM
Personal touch
now requires keypad
transmission began to race and
to my chagrin, would only re-
spond to reverse.
Thanks to a motor club card,
I was towed 15 miles to a serv-
ice center that agreed to search
and replace the transmission if I
could come up with cash neces-
sary to replace it. In our young
marriage, I didnt have any
credit cards and we were cer-
tainly traveling home with far
less cash than necessary to re-
place a transmission.
Bewildered, I did the only
thing I could do. I called my
parents in Berne, Ind., for ad-
vice on how I could be rescued
from what seemed like a hope-
less situation at the time.
Immediately, the personal
touch of small town assistance
kicked in. Thankfully, there was
a Western Union office located
right next to the repair service.
It was 7 p.m. and our local bank
in Berne had been closed for
two hours, but my parents knew
the banker. They called him and
he opened the bank to make it
possible for them to retrieve the
needed cash and immediately
send it to the Western Union Of-
fice.
Thanks to that favor on his
part outside of office hours, we
were rescued, the transmission
was replaced late that night and
the next morning we were on
our way home.
Aside from that, I think of the
little personal touches available
in the world I was raised, how I
would receive letters from
church camp friends as a child
mailed to, Jimmy Langham,
If there is anything that re-
minds me of my age these days,
it is the sense of an impersonal
world created by technology
and the structure that accompa-
nies all of the services available
these days in the world around
me.
Recently on a Saturday
morning, I had a simple ques-
tion about whether or not an of-
fice was open on the weekend
in an area business.
I dialed the main number, at
which time I was given 10 op-
tions to call in order to receive
the answer to my question. In
addition, number 10 gave eight
other options if needed, all of
which produced recordings that
werent even close to the an-
swer I needed.
Finally, somehow, my at-
tempts actually reached a real
live person who transferred me
to another office that was sup-
posed to be able to answer my
original question. The recep-
tionist in that office, however,
told me I had been given the
wrong extension so she trans-
ferred me to another person
who told me what number to
dial to get my answer.
At last, I thought, until that
number actually turned out to be
the original live person. This
time, she decided to try some-
thing else to get me to the of-
fice I was inquiring about. At
this point, the search had been
going on for over 20 minutes.
This time, the extension was
correct. I received a recording
that put me on hold for few
minutes only to finally be told
that the office would be closing
in two minutes, the computers
had already been shut down and
I would have to call back on
Monday to receive the answer
to my question.
What a contrast to a time ear-
lier in my life when Joyce and I
and 3-month-old Julie were
traveling along Interstate 80 in
Pennsylvania after visiting rela-
tives in New Jersey. On a hot
July afternoon, we had stopped
for some snacks. When I tried to
drive away from the station, my
Geneva, Ind. Nothing else was
required and the simple-ad-
dressed envelope was delivered
to our home.
Of course, there were disad-
vantages to such a simple
world, such as the party line
telephone. Those of us from the
era can still remember asking
the person we called whether or
not they had seen Bob and hav-
ing six people listening on the
line respond by saying, I saw
him at the grocery store a half
hour ago.
But it was admittedly nice to
pay bills directly at a local busi-
ness where we were Harold,
Elnora or Jim, rather than a 12-
digit number.
A few months ago, I was re-
minded once again that such
times are as many decades be-
hind me as my age. I had forgot-
ten to mail in a bill at a certain
time so I decided to take advan-
tage of the 800 number given on
the billing slip to pay by phone.
For the novelty of it, I had de-
cided to keep track of the num-
bers I would be told to punch
into my cell phone before suc-
cessful payment would be ac-
knowledged. There was the
original 10-digit number of my
phone, the numerical responses
to several questions, my Social
Security number (for security
purposes), and the amount I
wanted to pay. Then I waited for
the billing number in acknowl-
edgment of my payment.
From payment to comple-
tion, there had been 67 numbers
involved in a transaction that
once involved a nice chat and a
cup of coffee at the small busi-
ness where we paid our
monthly bill.
While I know maintaining a
personal touch in a world that is
exploding in population is next
to impossible, I still prefer to be
known as Jim rather than
IY3750482TT438. Hopefully
the day will never come when
the heading on this column
changes from Homespun by

Its time to
speak up on jail
Dear Editor,
I understand there is an in-
terested party wanting to
purchase the old Paulding
County Jail, not only to pre-
serve it as the historical
landmark it is, but to also re-
store it and make it their per-
sonal business office.
I am concerned because
the Paulding County com-
missioners have the option
of rejecting any and all bids
for any reason. If the bids
are rejected, for whatever
reason, the jail will immedi-
ately fall under the wrecking
ball before the public has the
opportunity to draw up a pe-
tition to stop this.
If the old jail goes down, a
piece of Paulding County
Pride, Paulding County his-
tory will be lost forever.
Is this what you want to
happen, Paulding County
citizens? Now is the time to
speak up and stop this injus-
tice. Let our Paulding
County commissioners
know how you feel.

Jail: turn liability
into an asset
Dear Editor,
I had read where the
county was faced with a lia-
bility in the old jail and were
going to have to spend tax-
payer money to tear it down.
My suggestion was to turn it
into a taxpayer asset by put-
ting it up for auction. Some-
one buys it and the
town/county has the cash
from the sale and should it
be torn down in the future, is
no longer the countys re-
sponsibility.
A similar situation hap-
pened in the county seat
town here, which is about
the size of Paulding. The
buyer turned it into a restau-
rant, called The Jailbird.
People that eat there can ac-
tually sit inside a jail cell to
eat which leaves somewhat
of a privacy which people
like. There are other tables
aside from the cells but
those are favorites. There-
fore, the county makes even
more money with the busi-
ness it generates.
If the county auctions it
off, trust me, someone will
buy it and a liability has now
become an asset to taxpay-
ers, possibly in more ways
than one.

tion of the jail. I am against

would be to demolish the
jail.
I understand that there is a
gentleman who is interested
in purchasing the building.
At this point in time, I feel
he should be given every op-
portunity.
Why would we even con-
sider demolishing a part of
our great history of Paulding
County? What do we have
left that pertains to our his-
tory? We lost the opportu-
nity of the only round barn
in last years storm. Not to
speak of the Hotel Barnes.
The jail is such a magnifi-
cent building and I can see
where it could be a tourist
attraction for those people
who are history buffs. I do
not see it as a danger to the
community.
If the sale is completed, I
can foresee money coming
into our town and possibly
even future businesses who
would want to take a part of
this renovation.
Please consider this very
carefully. Every time we
lose a piece of Paulding
County history we lose a
part of our legacy given to
us by our parents and grand-
parents.

In My Opinion
Cabin fever
After these past few months of cold, Im getting some seri-
ous cabin fever now! I am anxiously looking forward to the
beautiful spring flowers and the warm summer sun. With the
long winter days almost coming to an end, I anticipate some
of my favorite activities to be had in the more mild seasons.
And much to my happiness, most activities can be done with
little or no money!
In the winter, you can go
out and sled, build a snow-
man, and spend many hours
shoveling snow. And sure,
for the most part, this can be
done without a hefty cost.
But, if you are like me, you
dont really like to be
chilled to the bone. I would much rather stay in, wear my
warm and cozy fleece pants, and sip a hot chocolate.
What makes the spring and summer so wonderful are all
the cost effective and enjoyable things that can be done.
Some of my favorite things to do on a warm day are rather
simple, really. I find it is so nice sometimes just to take a
long walk and take in all the sights and sounds around. The
smell of freshly mown grass, the sounds of birds chirping,
the children playing baseball, all wonderful to the soul. I also
love picnics. Its so fun to come up with tasty finger foods to
enjoy while sitting on the grass or a park bench.
Swimming is another refreshing and fun thing to do. Pools
are nice, but there was a time when I lived in a house with its
very own pond. There was nothing like floating on a raft in
the middle of the water with a good book, an ice cold drink,
and not a worry in the world. Water and warm weather go
hand in hand, and for good reason. If the sun is too smolder-
ing, you can just dive in and cool off. And if you want to dry
off, there is no better way than under the hot sun, and as an
added bonus, you can get a nice summer glow.
After all these months sitting in the house bored, I have
fantasized almost daily of the nice weather coming our way.
The irony is, about mid-July, Im already complaining of the
humidity and the heat. Seems like I cant win! But right now,
Im going to keep daydreaming of lazy summer days and
tranquil spring nights and know that it wont be long until I
am enjoying them again!

90th BIRTHDAY CARD SHOWER Retired Major John P. La-
mond will celebrate his 90th birthday on March 1, 2013. His fam-
ily would like to honor him by having his friends and relatives
remember him with a birthday card. Major Lamond and his wife,
Ruth, reside at 145 Sunset Lane, Woodstock, GA 30189. Lamond
graduated from Paulding High School in 1941. His Army career
spanned three wars: World War II, Korea and Vietnam. In World
War II, while scouting behind enemy lines, Lamond was taken
prisoner and held by German forces until the end of the war. In
February 1951, Lamond led his troops up the icy slopes of Hill
180 near Osan, Korea, in the largest bayonet battle since the Civil
War, later known as The Battle of Bayonet Hill. Many consider
this battle to be the turning point in the war. Later, Lamond also
served in Vietnam. During his Army service, Lamond earned 25
medals, including three Bronze Stars, two Purple Hearts and a
Presidential Unit Citation, among others.

A Penny For
Your Thoughts....
By: Nancy Whitaker
I WONDER AS I WANDER
I have always been a curi-
ous person and have always
found myself wondering
about things that maybe no
one else thinks about.
I used to ask my mama,
and anyone else who would
listen, so many questions,
they used to call me News
Reporter.
A child does wonder about
things and as an adult, I still
do. Some of my musings may
sound funny, however, I bet
we have all questioned some
of the same topics.
For instance, my coworker
and I said that when we were
kids, we both wondered
where our soul was located.
We both confessed that we
thought it was an organ close
to our heart. I used to ask any-
one who would listen,
Where is my soul?
Another intriguing thing
that I have always been curi-
ous about is ants. As a young-
ster, I used to sit for hours just
observing those little insects
as they toiled carrying bits of
food to their nest.
Today, I still wonder how
ants can live and work to-
gether peacefully. Each one
seems to have a job to do and
always look busy. But, you do
have to think about where
that food is going and who
gets to eat it first. Plus, do
ants share and divvy up their
food?
Another species that I often
wonder about are birds. For
instance, the other day when
driving home from work, I
noticed a long line of birds all
perched beside each other on
a telephone wire. A short dis-
tance away on the same wire
was one lonely bird sitting by
himself.
My first thought was,
Why isnt he sitting with the
rest of the bird crowd? Is he
in trouble? Are the rest of
those birds family mem-
bers? Is there a certain
pecking order?
After all, the old saying
goes Birds of a feather, flock
together. Perhaps it was a
different species or just one
who lost his way.
The same question came up
the other day as we were driv-
ing out in the country. There
was a flock of geese over-
head, flying in a perfect V
formation. To me, this is a
fascinating marvel of nature.
One goose seemed to be
leading the way with the rest
following. Occasionally, they
would honk as if to signal
something and I had to won-
der, What are they saying to
each other? Where are they
going? How do they know
the direction in which to fly?
I remember as a child I was
taught about heaven and hell.
I was taught from an early
age that heaven was a beauti-
ful, joyous place, located be-
yond the clouds, paved with
streets of gold and that we
would all live in mansions
when we got there.
I remember looking up at
the sky trying to imagine such
a wonderful place. How
could the sky which looked
so soft with those big, fluffy,
white clouds hold a city
called Heaven? Wouldnt it
fall through the skies?
I was also instructed that
hell is below the earth and
bad people go there. I was
told that it is an inferno of
flames that burns continu-
ously.
I remember of being afraid
that if I didnt behave, the
flames of hell come from
below and burn me up.
We are inquisitive from the
time we are born and our
wonderings and musings are
varied.
A lady told this story about
her little granddaughter who
was not only inquisitive, but
came up with her own an-
swer.
She said, While working
for an organization that deliv-
ered lunches to elderly shut-
ins, I used to take my
4-year-old daughter on my af-
ternoon rounds.
She was unfailingly in-
trigued by the various appli-
ances of old age, particularly
the canes, walkers and wheel-
chairs. One day I found her
staring at a pair of false teeth
soaking in a glass.
As I braced myself for the
inevitable barrage of ques-
tions, she merely turned and
whispered, The tooth fairy
will never believe this!
The wonder of things we
cant explain will always in-
trigue and fascinate us as a
child and as an adult.
In the words of Albert Ein-
stein, The most beautiful
thing we can experience is the
mysterious. It is the source of
all true art and all science. He
to whom this emotion is a
stranger, who can no longer
pause to wonder and stand rapt
in awe, is as good as dead: his
eyes are closed.
Do you ever wonder about
birds, ants, heaven or hell? Do
you think we as people can live
as harmoniously as the ants and
fly together as the geese? Let
me know and Ill give you a
Penny for Your Thoughts.
By Lisa McClure
Paulding County
Area Foundation
Did you know that less than 1% of the
population living in the United States
claim farming as their occupation? Or
that the average age of todays farmer is
57 and 1/4 of American farmers
are older than 65?
Its not easy keeping our
kids on the farm and moving
the farming operation into the next genera-
tion. We need to create opportunities to keep
agriculture strong in Paulding County.
Paul Marshall left such an opportunity.
When he died in 1996, he left 1,400 acres in
trust to the Paulding County Area Foundation.
The funds from the acreage was stated in
his will to be used to financially encourage,
aid, assist and promote young farmers in
Paulding County, ages 21 and older and
are those who are or through assistance,
going into grain or livestock production.
Paul Marshalls vision was to keep young
farmers in Paulding County.
As a result of Marshalls generous
gift, the Young Farmer Loan Subsidy
Program was established. The
program follows the Ohio Ag
Link Deposit Program.
Currently, we have eight
loans out to young farmers in
Paulding County. Interest subsidy, over the
course of the program, has saved our appli-
cants over $63,000 in interest.
We at the Paulding County Area Founda-
tion are proud of the services we provide for
the benefit of the people of Paulding County.
If you would like further information on the
Young Farmer Loan Subsidy Program,
please contact Lisa McClure at 419-399-
8296.

A Paulding County team
represented Ohio in a snow
sculpting competition in
Michigan and won third place
in their class and received a
$1,000 prize. We started on
Monday at 1 p.m. and had to
be finished by Saturday. I have
been doing this the last 11
years; the girls have between
four and six years, said
Sandy Dobbelaere. Our extra
helper this year, Eric, was new
to it. We won first in the states
single block last year and so
we could compete in the world
class double block this year.
Each block weighs approxi-
mately 13 tons. It is made out
of really hard packed snow,
more like ice. We have to use
pick axes and saws to cut
through it. It is all done by
hand no power tools al-
lowed. We worked approxi-
mately 18-20 hours a day.
Friday night, we did not sleep
at all. We call (the sculpture)
Party Crashers because the
frogs were having a little party
and the bass crashed it to eat
somebody. With their tro-
phies (below) are Eric Miller,
Kinsey Dobbelaere, Megan
Dobbelaere and Sandy Dobbe-
laere.

The Paulding Progress &
Weekly Reminder
QUESTION: Im a single
mother of two teenagers.
This past year, I have been
struggling financially. I am
working full-time and part-
time jobs and can barely
make my monthly expenses.
My sons have birthdays
coming up, but I just cant
see how I can afford the
things on their wish lists.
How can I help them have
happy birthdays this year
without all the presents?
JIM: Theres no doubt
about it, times are tough.
Your question moves me, be-
cause it reminds me of my
own mom. Like you, she was
single, and she had to sacri-
fice and scrape just to put
food on the table for me and
my four siblings.
When it comes to their im-
pending birthdays, Id recom-
mend sitting your sons down
and explaining the situation
honestly. Let them know that
there just isnt money in the
budget for big-ticket items
this year.
Offer some budget-friendly
alternatives. Theyre old
enough to not have the same
sense of entitlement that a
toddler would have. Your
love for them and your desire
to give them a happy birthday
will likely mean more than
any present.
In the long term, Brenda
Armstrong, president of
Mercy Tree, a ministry to sin-
gle parents, offers some solid
advice for those in your situ-
ation:
Set goals: Write down
everything relating to your fi-
nances, from income and
spending to debts, and create
a plan for achieving them.
When a child asks about an
unplanned purchase, say, Its
not that we dont have
enough money, its that the
item doesnt fit with our goals
right now.
Involve your kids in cre-
ative ways to save money.
Sell unneeded stuff on eBay,
have a movie night at home
and so on.
Get out of debt. If at all
possible, get rid of credit
cards.
Find support. Network
with other single parents in
your church or workplace.

lief for Single Parents: A
Proven Plan for Achieving
the Seemingly Impossible.

Are you infected with the disease of me?
We live in a very myopic, self-centered cul-
ture, one that is about celebrating individuality
over our collective responsibility to one another.
The philosophical term for this disease of me
is known as narcissism, and regarding the explo-
sion in our time of this cultural epidemic I read
in the news recently:
Over the past 47 years about nine million col-
lege freshman have taken the American Fresh-
man Survey. It asks students to rate how they
measure up against their peers.
According to the survey, over the past four
decades, there has been a dramatic rise in the
number of freshman who think that theyre
above average for academic ability and self-
confidence. For instance, while students think
theyre more gifted than their peers at writing,
objective test scores actually show that writing
skills have declined in the past few decades. Re-
searchers call this ambition inflation.
One of the researchers, Dr. Jean Twenge notes,
Our culture used to encourage modesty and hu-
mility and not bragging about yourself. It was
considered a bad thing to be seen as conceited or
full of yourself. Apparently, now everyone
wants to be above average.
Regarding this disease of me, addressing a
self-centered culture, the Apostle Paul writes ...
2 Corinthians 10:12 (NIV), We do not dare to
classify or compare ourselves with some who
commend themselves. When they measure
themselves by themselves and compare them-
selves with themselves, they are not wise.

Golf or garden?
As a garden book reviewer,
I receive quite a number of
books in the mail each week
for me to consider giving my
opinion as to whether theyre
worth the time and money
readers might spend on them.
It may come as no surprise
when I say that I look them
over and for the most part,
choose to read only the ones
that I think Im going to like.
I try to keep things positive
that way.
There are very few books
that Id say are outstanding,
but there are an awful lot of
good ones. One that I recently
read and reviewed was The
Roots of My Obsession. Its
a collection of essays by
some well-known figures in
the world of horticulture,
telling how they got started
gardening, what they like best
about it and why they do it.
Im always intrigued as to
how and why people choose
the extra-curricular activities
they do. I come from a family
of gardeners, but Im the only
member of our family that
doesnt golf. I cant say that I
dislike golf, its just that Im
not good at it. Im not only
not good, Im really horrible.
And as with most sports, if
you arent at least halfway
decent at it, its not going to
be any fun.
So I garden. Now that
doesnt mean Im particularly
good at that either. But, thats
the thing about gardening,
you dont have to be good at
it to enjoy it. Some would say
the same thing about golf, but
to me, golfs just hard.
Studies have shown that
gardening is good for you in
ways that have nothing to do
with your skills as a gardener.
There is a certain bacteria
contained in the soil that
when disturbed as in when
have a positive effect on heal-
ing, which is one reason
youll see gardens at hospi-
tals. There are also studies
that suggest that work envi-
ronments that contain live
plants have more productive
and happier employees.
I know. Theres evidence
that golf is good for you, too.
Fresh air, exercise, the FFA
(Fellowship of Frustrated
Athletes) and all that, but Im
of the good walk spoiled
mindset if you try to put a
golf club in my hands.
If you enjoy golf, Im
happy for you. If you enjoy
gardening, Im even happier.
We actually have more in
common than you might
think. We both find our hap-
piness filling holes in the
ground.

youre digging in it is re-
leased into the air. You
breathe it in and it causes a
rise in serotonin in the brain.
Thats the stuff that makes
you feel good.
There are plants that purify
the air. All plants exchange
carbon dioxide for oxygen,
but some have the added abil-
ity to filter toxins from the air
around them. That means
even growing plants inside
your house is good for your
health.
Just looking at flowers and
plants has been shown to
By Jim Lopshire
OSU Extension educator
In January 2012, OSU re-
searchers surveyed farmers in
northwest Ohio about their
tillage practices as part of the
2012 Buckeye Farm Tillage
Survey. As part of the survey,
respondents were asked to iden-
tify one field they felt was sus-
ceptible to nutrient runoff and to
provide detailed information
about this field. The information
included the yield they would
expect to achieve in a normal
year as well as the fair market
rent they would expect to re-
ceive per acre in the upcoming
year.
Respondents also described
the fields predominant soil
type, clay, loam, silt, etc., slope,
and whether the field featured
working tile. Below I report
some findings for those report-
ing corn or soybean fields.
It was noted that these results
may differ from other sources
and surveys of land rent values
as respondents were directed to
choose a field they thought to be
prone to runoff rather than
choosing a representative field
and these results reflect the op-
erators expectations of yield
and expectations of fair market
rent rather than actual rent paid.
Indeed, some of the fields
surveyed may never be part of
the land rental market, so oper-
ators expectations for fair mar-
ket rent may be inaccurate.
The survey included 161 re-
spondents reporting full infor-
mation for corn fields. Average
expected yield was 165 bushels
per acre, while average ex-
pected rent was reported as
$175 per acre. This average rent
was a little below the averages
reported for land with similar
yields in Barry Wards Rental
Value work from 2012 in west-
ern Ohio, which would make
sense given the survey specifi-
cally asked respondents for
fields with likely runoff prob-
lems.
Brian Roe, McCormick Pro-
fessor of Agricultural Marketing
and Policy, Ohio State Univer-
sity, looked at the influence of
tile, slope and soil type on ex-
pected rent.
Of the 161 fields, only 9%
did not have operating tile; un-
tiled fields garnered $12 to $28
less per acre. 51% of fields had
slope greater than 2%, and these
fields featured expected rents
that were $5 to $15 lower than
fields with less slope. 15% of
fields reported that the domi-
nant soil type was clay, which
demanded rents that were $10
to $23 less per acre than fields
with other soil.
Roe also identified strong
differences across counties
even once expected yield and
field characteristics were held
constant. These differences
likely reflect local market con-
ditions not captured by ex-
pected yield or field
characteristics.
One cluster of counties in-
cluding Darke, Mercer, Pauld-
ing and Auglaize reported the
highest expected rents with
values ranging from $20 to $30
an acre higher than a mid-level
cluster of counties including
Hardin, Shelby, Van Wert and
Wood. Other counties in north-
west Ohio reported average ex-
pected rents that were $15 to
$25 less than the mid-level
cluster.

Panthers claim NWC wrestling title
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
LIMA Paulding edged
Spencerville 256-254 to claim
the 2013 Northwest Conference
wrestling championship on Sat-
urday at Lima Central Catholic
High School.
The Panthers claimed two in-
dividual championships as Tyler
Ash won at 220 and Taylor
Deatrick took the title at 126.
Paulding head coach Josh
Neilson also was honored as
the Northwest Conference
Coach of the Year.
The morning didnt start off
very well for us, noted Neil-
son. We had some adversity to
overcome, but our kids were
able to do that. I told the kids
before the tournament that we
just need everyone to step up
and do a little extra to make up
for it.
After the first round I think
we were like in fifth place, but
we slowly started to move up
after round two. We were tied
for third after the third round,
but the kids really stepped up in
the fourth round and we picked
up eight pins, Neilson contin-
ued. In the finals we got pins
from Taylor Deatrick, Cody
Jarrell, Dakota Valdez, Ryan
Schindler, Branson Minck and
Tyler Ash.
Overall, we wrestled pretty
well. We werent mistake-free,
but we didnt give up, said the
Panther mentor. This is the
first conference championship
we have won at Paulding in
about 10 or 11 years. It was
good for the kids to see that all
the hard work they did this
summer, all the hard practices,
and the intense conditioning
paid off.
The host Thunderbirds fin-
ished third at 225 followed by
Columbus Grove (199),
Delphos Jefferson (197),
Bluffton (174), Allen East
(147), Lincolnview (124) and
Ada (116.5).
Other placers for the Pan-
thers included Cody Jarrell
(160, fifth), Adam Deatrick
(170, fourth), Dakota Valdez
(195, seventh), Kage Seals
(106, second), Sidney Salinas
(113, second), Branson Mink
(120, second), Aarron Mock
(138, fourth), Sonny Manz
(285, fifth) and Ryan Schindler
(182, third).
In the junior high portion,
Allen East won the tournament
with 354 points with Bluffton

HAVILAND Wayne
Traces boys basketball team
picked up a pair of non-league
road victories in Putnam
County sandwiched around a
home loss to Tinora in action
last week.
The Raiders traveled to Con-
tinental in non-league action
and came home with a 60-41
win.
Dalton Sinn paced the red,
white and blue with 16 points,
five rebounds and four steals,
including back-to-back steals
and dunks. Grady Gudakunst
chipped in 13 markers with
Corbin Linder adding 11. Ryan
Kortokrax (five), Nick McClain
(four), Colby Speice (three),
Jake Gerber (two) and Devin
Wenzlick (two) also scored for
Wayne Trace.
Wayne Trace led 23-8 after
one quarter and posted a 34-18
at the intermission. The Raiders
posted a 49-30 advantage at the
end of three periods.
Tyler Rue topped the Pirates
with 17 markers followed by
Tyler Dockery (seven), Chaz
Slattman (six), Justin Halliwill
(six), Brandon Schmidt (two),
Dalton Bradford (two) and
Scott Prowant (one).
In Green Meadows Confer-
ence play, Wayne Trace jumped
in front of visiting Tinora 13-3
early but it was all Rams after
that as the green and white ral-
lied for a 57-47 win.
The Raiders led 13-9 after
one quarter before Tinora
intermission. The Rams held a
48-38 margin entering the final
stanza.
Kortokrax led the Raiders
with 17 points while Sinn
added a dozen markers and
nine rebounds. Gudakunst
(seven), Linder (five), Speice
(two), Jake Arend (two) and
McClain (two) rounded out the
scoring. Linder recorded seven
boards with Sinn posting three
assists and three steals.
At Kalida, Linder scored 15

to go along with two assists and
three steals. Kortokrax added
seven caroms.
Wayne Trace led 15-12 after
one quarter before Kalida ral-
lied to take a 22-19 halftime
lead. The Raiders led 33-26 at
the end of three periods.
Speice (five), Gudakunst
(four) and McClain (one)
rounded out the Raider scoring.
We picked up two out of
three and this was a good way
to end the week, noted Raider
head coach Jim Linder. We
would like to have had Fridays
game with Tinora but we still
control our own destiny in the
league. This is a tough week
coming up with two rivals in
Antwerp and Crestview so we
have to prepare well and be
ready to play.
Wayne Traces junior varsity
boys also won two of three as
the Raiders defeated Continen-
tal and Tinora before losing to
Kalida.
At Kalida, the Raiders fell
behind 11-7 after one quarter
29-14 at halftime before falling
47-37.
Cole Shepherd had nine
points for the red, white and
blue with Gabe Wobler adding
eight. T.J. Blackmore (six),
Nick Glass (four), Jake Gerber
(four), Alec Vest (four) and
Brock Worden (two) completed
the scoring.Blackmore also had
six rebounds with Shepherd
grabbing five. Gerber recorded
five steals and Wobler added
three. Glass added two assists
and two steals.
Wayne Trace posted a 34-27
win over Tinora behind 10
points and six steals by David
Sinn. Blackmore (seven), Wor-
den (six), Wobler (five), Glass
(two), Gerber (two) and Shep-
herd (two) rounded out the
scorers. Worden also grabbed
eight caroms and Blackmore
picked up five.
Last Tuesday, the red, white
and blue opened an early 17-1
lead before holding on for a 33-
24 win at Continental.
Gerber posted 13 points to
lead the Raiders followed by
Blackmore (six), Sinn (four),
Wobler (three), Glass (three),
Worden (two) and Justin Speice
(two).
The Raiders return to action
for a doubleheader weekend
with a road trip to Paulding
County and Green Meadows
Conference rival Antwerp on
Friday before hosting rival
Crestview Saturday.

Never-say-die Panthers fall
short of upsetting LCC
By JIM LANGHAM
Sportswriter
In spite of Fridays 58-52
loss to state-ranked Lima Cen-
tral Catholic in Northwest Con-
ference action, Paulding head
coach Shawn Brewer was well-
pleased with his squads per-
formance in never falling off
from fighting the high-flying
Thunderbirds.
It was the first two minutes
of the third quarter that proved
to be fatal for the local squad.
Going into the third stanza, the
Panthers were leading the
Thunderbirds, 23-22. However,
inside of the first two and a half
minutes of the second half, the
fast-paced LCC squad got its
well-known transition game in
gear and outscored Paulding,
14-2, to take a commanding 36-
25 advantage.
Still, Paulding refused to roll
over. Early in the fourth quarter,
trailing 45-34, the Panthers
went on an 11-3 run, backed by
2-point baskets by Lance Foor,
who finished the game with 18
points, Kaleb Clemens, Gerod
Harder and a tally from behind
the arc by Kyle Kauser to cut
the margin to three points, 48-
45, behind LCC.
I thought our guys did a
great job of containing them,
except for that first two and a
half minutes of the third quar-
ter, said Brewer. We gave up
10 or 11 points there that really
killed us. Still for our guys to
get down by 12 points and still
get back to a one-possession
game, I was really proud of
them.
We made plays to get back
into the game, but not enough
to get over the hump, said
Brewer.
Paulding opened the game
with a 12-10 advantage at the
end of the first quarter and
maintained that lead by one
point at the half. It was LCCs
18-9 advantage in the third
quarter that proved to be the de-
ciding difference for the con-
test.
The game was significant in
the NWC, with Paulding com-
ing into the game with a 4-1
record and LCC turning in a
perfect 5-0 mark. Following the
contest, Pauldings overall
record stood at 13-4 and 4-2 in
conference play, while LCC
boasts a 6-0 conference mark
and 18-9 overall.
Local fans responded to
pleas of coaches to turn out en
masse dressed in maroon in one
of the largest attendances to at-
tend a game in Paulding for a
long time. That support, plus
the explosive cheers of the
crowd, went a long ways in en-
ergizing the team, said Brewer.
Im proud of our boys and
how we played, said Brewer.
It was awesome to see all of
the maroon. Our fan support
was just incredible and deeply
appreciated. Everybody came
out to support our boys; it was
a great environment.
Im sure that our kids
learned a lot from playing a
team like this, continued
Brewer. They did a good job
getting back in the game. It was
a good boost for our post sea-
son tournament environments.
In junior varsity action,
coach Randy Crawfords Pan-
thers chalked up another win
with a 38-29 victory over the
Thunderbirds.

Archers split weekend games
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
The Antwerp Archers in-
vaded Fairview on Friday
night in boys high school bas-
ketball with the Apaches
scalping the Archers in double
overtime, 60-58. Fairview,
winners of just two games
going into the Green Mead-
ows Conference showdown,
managed to erase an eight-
point deficit in the fourth quar-
ter to force overtime.
In the first overtime session,
the Archers took a slim lead
51-50 when Andy Coleman hit
1-of-2 at the foul line. Braeden
Hormann also connected on 1-
of-2 at the line with 1:23 re-
maining to push the Archer
lead to 52-50.
Fairview was able to match
Antwerp with a bucket from
Daniel Smith with 25 seconds
showing on the clock. Follow-
ing an Antwerp time-out, the
Archers worked the ball down
to the final second when
Derek Smalley rifled a 3-
pointer from the corner that
fell into the hands of Fairview,
who immediately called time-
out with 0.8 second left.
Fairview threw the ball in-
bounds only to have it ricochet
off the ceiling and giving
Antwerp one more opportu-
nity under their own basket.
Still with just 0.8 second re-
maining, the Archers got the
ball into Smalley, who had a
nice look but the ball fell off
the rim forcing overtime.
It was a very disappointing
loss because of our lack of ef-
fort defensively. We had our
chances but missed free
throws, 21 turnovers, and mis-
erable shooting at the foul line
is a bad recipe, commented
head coach Scott McMichael.
Noah Ganger and Smith
traded baskets in the opening
minute of the overtime to keep
the score tied 54 apiece.
Ganger connected in the paint
to put the Paulding County
visitors on top, 56-54. The
Apaches next possession ap-
peared to be a costly one as
Antwerps Coleman fought for
position and collected a re-
bound only to be fouled by the
6-foot-5 Smith, who fouled
out. Unfortunately, Coleman
couldnt connect on either free
throw, leaving the Archers
clinging to a 56-54 cushion
with 1:02 remaining.
Fairview managed to pull
even on a basket from Justin
Zeedyk, but again it was
Ganger picking up another 2-
point goal, his third of the
overtime, to keep the blue and
white ahead, 58-56. It would
be the last lead for Antwerp as
turnovers and missed lay ups
haunted the Archers in the
closing seconds.
A Joe Macsay hoop fol-
lowed by two free throws
from Zeedyk sealed the win
for the 3-15 Apaches.
We just let them (Fairview)
hang around and their confi-
dence grew and they took ad-
vantage of their
opportunities, said Coach
McMichael.
The game was a nail-biter
throughout with neither team
able gain much of a lead until
the third period. In the first
half there were five lead
changes and three ties with
Antwerp having its biggest
lead at 7-2 and Fairview hold-
ing a 25-21 advantage late in
the second frame.

There is no better medicine
following a Friday night dis-
appointing loss than to come
back and play on Saturday
night. Back on the road, the
Archers did just that as they
traveled to Montpelier, where
they steamrolled the Locomo-
tives, 60-33.
The non-conference win
improved the Archers record
to 9-8 on the year while Mont-
pelier dropped their 15th in a
row after opening the season
with their lone win.
We bounced back, got out
in transition, and got some
great looks, said McMichael.
It was the kind of night the
Archers needed following the
two-point double overtime
loss to Fairview on Friday.
Everyone on the varsity roster
not only played and con-
tributed in the team win, but
each player scored.
Leading the scoring attack
for the blue and white was
Noah Ganger with 16 points
followed by junior guard
Derek Smalley who was also
in double digits with 11.
Smalley had a great start
tonight and Noah (Ganger)
had a solid week end offen-
sively with 27 points on Fri-
day and 16 on Saturday,
McMichael said.
Coach McMichael was
quick to praise the play of
Colin Krick. The 6-foot-2 sen-
ior hit a 3-pointer and a free
throw for four points.
It was nice to see Colin
score. Hes a kid that comes to
practice every day and gives
us good effort and tonight the
fans really showed how much
they appreciate his contribu-
tion. Tonight was just a good
solid team effort and a great
night for our team.
The Archers were in control
throughout the contest and
built a 31-13 advantage at the
halfway mark of the game.
Antwerp continued to increase
their lead, outscoring the Lo-
comotives 18-8 in the third
quarter to take a 49-21 cush-
ion into the final eight minutes
of play.
This weekend the Archers
will be back at the Range for a
couple of weekend dates. On
Friday night the Raiders from
Wayne Trace will come call-
ing and on Saturday night
Edon will be the Archers op-
ponent.

Lady Archers cant hold
lead in 46-43 setback
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
ANTWERP On Thursday,
the first half belonged to the
Lady Archers and the second
half belonged to the Lady
Apaches from Fairview and
when it was all settled, the
second half play of Fairview
trumped the Archers.
Trailing by as many as 18 in
the early going of the third pe-
riod the Apaches outscored
Antwerp 30-9 to escape the
Range with a 46-43 Green
Meadows Conference win.
The Lady Archers opened
up with a quick 10-3 advan-
tage, compliments of a couple
of 3-pointers from senior
guard Avrial Sawyer. The
quarter ended with the Archers
on top 12-9.
Antwerp continued to add
to their lead with Kaiya Jemi-
son canning a couple of free
throws and a 2-point toss to
give the Archers a 16-9 mar-
gin with 5:19 remaining in the
second period.
Head coach Larry Taylor
got point production from a
couple of freshmen with
Avery Braaten and Annie
Miesle each scoring a goal.
Jemison added a 3-point play
the traditional way with a goal
and a free throw to give the
Lady Archers a double-digit
lead, 23-13, at the two-minute
mark.
Antwerp played solid de-
fense throughout the first half.
The full court press continued
to bother the Apaches late in
the half when Braaten made a
steal near mid-court and drove
to the hoop for two points on
a nice individual effort.
Antwerp went to the locker
room holding a 27-14 advan-
tage.
It appeared the Archers
would continue playing some
of their best basketball of the
year in the third quarter.
Fairview scored the first bas-
ket to trail 27-16, but the blue
and white answered with a
trey from Alexis Jones, two
free throws from Jemison fol-
lowed by a 2-point goal from
Jones to propel the Lady
Archers to an 18-point lead at
34-16.
The Apaches started chip-
ping away at the lead and
scored the next eight points.
Miller-Sweet stopped the
Fairview mini run with a nice
drive across the paint to the
hoop for a basket. Fairview
started looking inside to their
5-10 senior Brittany Conkey,
who scored three baskets in
the paint in the third period to
help pull the Apaches to
within seven at the end of the
quarter, 37-30.
Fairview finally tied the
score at 41 then managed to
increase their advantage in the
closing seconds on a basket by
Ali Hug, who was also fouled.
The sophomore calmly con-
nected on her free throw.
Antwerp had one last op-
portunity and with 5.1 seconds
remaining Coach Taylor called
time out to set the final play.
Out of the timeout, and the
ball in Jones hands, the senior
tried to shake away from the
defense but couldnt escape
the pressure being applied and
time expired before she could
launch her try.
Jones led all scorers with 19
while the Apaches had two
players in double figures with
Conkey leading their attack
with 18 and Hug adding 10.

Antwerp held their own in the
first quarter to only trail 11-8
after eight minutes of play, but
the Knights got it going after
that and delivered a 49-36
win.
Crestview is enjoying a fine
season with a 16-1 record,
their only loss coming to the
hands of No. 1 Ottoville in Di-
vision IV earlier in the season.
Antwerp made things inter-
esting in the third period when
Alexis Jones connected on a
3-pointer followed by team-
mate Avrial Sawyer also dial-
ing in from behind the arc to
pull the Archers to within
seven at 28-21. Momentum
quickly shifted back to the
Lady Knights on a couple of
free throws by Emily Bauer
and a bucket from Mariah
Henry to put the Knights back
up by 11 at 32-21.
We had a four- or five-
minute stretch in the third
quarter where we just turned
the ball over too many times.
Its been bothering us all year
and when youre thin on play-
ers it begins to take its toll,
commented Taylor.
Overall we did a decent job
and the girls battled hard. Give
them credit, Crestview is a
pretty good team, said Taylor.
Jones led all scorers with 17
while Crestview placed two
girls in double figures. The
loss dropped Antwerp to 3-14
on the season.

Paulding girls make
progress despite losses
By JIM LANGHAM
Sportswriter
Paulding head girls basket-
ball coach Lyndsi Schultz was
pleased with her teams per-
formance in games last week
in spite of losses to Miller
City, Lima Central Catholic
and Continental.
While the Miller City and
LCC games were on the road,
the local squad returned home
on Saturday afternoon to fight
to a tough Continental squad
that boasts a record of 13-5.
After playing the Pirates to
a 20-20 score at the half, the
visitors started to build a lead
in the second half, overcoming
Paulding 11-6 in the third
quarter and 17-4 in the final
eight minutes to walk off the
floor with a 48-30 win.
Leva Weller led the Conti-
nental cause with 19 points
while Abbey Edwards nine
points led the way for Pauld-
ing.
Im very pleased with how
we played. They are a strong
Putnam County team and we
stayed with them for three
quarters, said Schultz. Abby
Pease was in a good position
to play out her role all of the
time. We just got tired at the
end.
Pauldings record stood at
4-14 following the game.
Earlier in the week, the Pan-
thers battled another Putnam
County team, Miller City, to
the wire before dropping a 51-
47 decision there. In that con-
test, Paulding came out strong
once again, posting as 14-12
lead at the end of the first
quarter before the Wildcats
outscored the local team, 16-
7, in the second quarter to grab
a 28-21 advantage at the half.
In that contest, Brooke
Combs turned in a strong per-
formance, tallying 15 points
for the game while Miller
Citys Melissa Michel tallied
Raider wrestlers fall short;
crown 4 GMC champions
SHERWOOD The GMC
wrestling tournament was held
Saturday, Feb. 2 at Fairview
High School. Wayne Trace
joined Ayersville and Tinora
as the favorites to finish as
GMC champs. As the tourna-
ment progressed, the three fa-
vorites rose to the top of the
team scoreboard.
As the first team scores
were posted, Wayne Trace
trailed Ayersville by two
points and Tinora was in third.
Solid wrestling occurred in
the first two rounds. Clemens,
Baxter, Miller, Showalter,
Temple, Mansfield and Pierce
all came through unscathed
and wrestled for the right to be
a GMC champion.
Additionally, Taylor, Din-
gus, Reel, Moore and Chastain
would wrestle for third or
fourth placement.
Several matches could have
gone the other way for the
Raiders, but did not. Josh Reel
battled Skylar Muehlfield the
entire three periods and was
poised to notch the upset.
Pushing the match into over-
time, Reel was not be able to
fend off Muehlfields take-
down and dropped the match.
By far, the grittiest and most
heartbreaking match of the
day was wrestled by Tim
West. West traded points back
and forth with a Fairview op-
ponent when he suffered a lac-
eration to his eyelid. He was
patched back up by the trainer
and began wrestling again.
West then went on a scoring
frenzy, distancing himself
from his opponent, but the
match again was stopped for
blood. The trainer patched the
eye and West returned to the
mat with the referee informing
Wayne Trace that one more
stoppage for blood would re-
sult in a forfeit of the match.
With a mere 9 seconds re-
maining in the match and West
up by seven points, the referee
stopped it again for blood, and
West was forced to forfeit.
Unfortunately, this event cost
the Raider team several place-
ment points.
Before entering the champi-
onship matches, team scores
were posted and the red,
white, and blue had taken over
the top of the team board with
Ayersville trailing by 2.5
points.
The Raiders and Pilots had
seven wrestlers each compet-
ing for top place honors, while
the Rams had six.
Clemens remained unde-
feated on the season and cap-
tured his first GMC
championship. He continues
to push the most consecutive
win streak record and cur-
rently is at 36.
Showalter squared off
against projected state champ
Van Vleet from Edgerton, and
although he would fall short
on the win, gave it his all.
Showalter stunned the crowd
by capturing a takedown and
scoring back points, but
dropped the match, 13-7.
Sawyer Temple wrestled
Urivez from Tinora, one of his
three losses on the year. He
found himself down early in
the match, but fought back and
captured the lead. He then
rode out Urivez for the win.
With the win, Temple be-
comes a three-time GMC
league champ.
The Pilots fared better in the
finals with five champions
compared to the Raiders four.
The Raiders placed all but two
wrestlers in the top four, but in
the end, it wasnt enough.
Wayne Trace trailed GMC
team champion Ayersville by
12.5 points to finish second.
I was pleased with every-
ones effort today. We were so
close; had just a few things
went our way like West being
able to finish that match, but
they didnt, commented
Coach Clemens. Overall, we
wrestled well today. Some of
the younger guys really
stepped up and both our sen-
iors left all they had on the
mat.
Team standings: Ayersville
199, Wayne Trace 186.5,
Tinora 127.5, Fairview 119,
Edgerton 99.5, Antwerp 39,
Hicksville 16.
Individual results: Clemens

the 1,000th point of her career
in scoring 18 points and haul-
ing down 10 rebounds for the
Wildcats.
We had them right down to
the wire a couple of times,
said Schultz. I was really
pleased with the play of
Brooke Combs in that game.
Thursday, the Panthers trav-
eled to Lima Central Catholic
where the Thunderbirds de-
feated Paulding, 44-21. In that
game, Abbey Edwards led
Paulding with seven points
while Sydney Santiguida and
Meredith Shepherd each
scored 13 points for LCC.
The girls are working hard
and doing some things right,
but when it comes to game
time, things just dont seem to
come together, said Schultz.
We really need to pick up a
win somewhere, especially as
we start looking toward the
tournament coming up.

Trust rises with age, making older
people more vulnerable to fraud
Older adults are more
likely than younger ones to
perceive dishonest faces as
trustworthy. The new find-
ings help explain why older
people are more likely to fall
victim to fraud.
Up to 80% of scam vic-
tims are over 65, according
to the U.S. Federal Trade
Commission. Some experts
suspect that older people are
more vulnerable to fraud
because they are more trust-
ing than younger adults.
A team led by Dr. Shelley
Taylor at the University of
California, Los Angeles, set
out to explore whether older
adults judge trustworthiness
differently from younger
adults. Photographs of faces
selected to look trustworthy,
neutral or untrustworthy
were shown to 119 older
adults (ages 55 to 84) and 24
younger adults (ages 20 to
42). The participants were
asked to rate each face based
on how trustworthy or
approachable it seemed. The
scientists also used function-
al MRI to look at brain
activity.
Neutral faces and faces
high in trust cues were rated
similarly by both groups.
However, older adults were
significantly more likely
than younger ones to rate
untrustworthy faces as trust-
worthy.
The brain scans also
revealed significant differ-
ences between the age
groups. An area associated
with gut feelings became
more active in the younger
people at the sight of an
untrustworthy face. But
older subjects showed little
to no activation in this area.
More study will be needed
to understand why.
Misplaced trust can have
dire consequences, especial-
ly when it comes to financial
fraud.
Older adults seem to be
particularly vulnerable to
interpersonal solicitations,
and their reduced sensitivity
to cues related to trust may
partially underlie this vul-
nerability, Taylor says.
January birthdays at the senior center included, front from left Florence Smith, Cathy
Shaner and Laura Pease; back Dale Cluts, Pat Cluts, Marjorie Underwood, Ruth Gerber and
Dave Bakle.
