Paulding Village
No through trucks during construction

By SAMANTHA
HABERN
Correspondent
PAULDING The start of
a major construction project,
and issues concerning the pool
and skatepark were on Paulding Village Councils agenda
when it met in regular session
on April 6.
Council suspended the rules
and approved Ordinance 149615 designating certain streets
within the corporation limits
as no through truck routes
during construction of Phase II
of the villages Sewer Separation Project on North Williams
Street (U.S. 127).
A state detour will take
trucks down Canal Road (Ohio
111). Trucks are only allowed
in town for business (delivery
or pick-up). Signs are already
being worked on to place
around town.
The mayor will be sending
out letters to homeowners on
Williams Street from Jackson
Street north to Garfield Avenue
to remind them of the tree removal on both sides during construction. More town friendly
trees will be replanted once
construction is finished.
Carol Cowell from the recre-
ation board updated the board

on the repairs of the skate park.
(See her Letter to the Editor,
Page 4A). She stated that she
was having trouble keeping kids
out while repairs were being
done, leading to several safety
concerns. She is hoping to add
a sturdy chain and gates to keep
any kid out for their safety.
Cowell had met with DecksN-Place and got an estimate on
the removal and replacement of
the ramps, as well as the added
gates.
Councilman Roger Sierer
added that he would like to
paint the skate park, as well as
the pool, with stain, stating that
the park looks so drab.
The current cost is at $655,
which the council approved.
Jacob Shook, the current pool
manger, met with the council
and asked for approval to begin
the hiring process for the pool,
pending certification and background checks.
He also asked Mayor Greg
White if there was a limit to
hires. Mayor White answered
no, as many may take days off
for vacation. The council approved.
Council heard the first reading of Ordinance 1497-15
which would grant Paulding-Putnam Electric Cooperative Inc. the right to acquire,
construct, maintain, and operate
in the streets, thoroughfares, alleys, bridges and public places
of the village, and its successors,
lines for the distribution of the
electric energy to the village and
its inhabitants.
In other business:
The mowing contract had
date errors. It was approved to
have the dates fixed and for the
contract to be resigned.
Audio recordings of prior
meetings have been saved to
disks for future reference.
It was mentioned that the
stone alley way behind Richies
hair salon has several potholes
that need to be fixed.
Alcohol beverage permit
renewal is coming up in June
and will be discussed in the next
meeting.
Loop Asphalt is to repair
Caroline Street with concrete.
Michael Seeger from
Choice One Engineering introduced himself to the council.
Executive session was held
after the meeting for personal
matters.
The next meeting will be at
6:30 p.m. on April 20.
The shaded portion of this Paulding Village map indicates the

Phase 2 Combined Sewer Separation project work area. The $4.4
million project should begin in mid-April. Construction on North
Williams Street (U.S. 127) is to be mostly completed by July 31.

PAYNE Sources from the
Ohio Department of Natural
Resources (ODNR) have confirmed that a manure spill occurred in southwestern Paulding County in recent weeks at
the Van Erk Dairy, located at the
northwest corner of Ohio 114
and County Road 33.
Eric Heis, ODNR public information officer, said Paulding Soil and Water received a
complaint about manure from
a holding pond at the Wildcat Dairy facility being spread
on frozen and snow-covered
ground.
The Paulding SWCD, along
with an ODNR Division of Soil
and Water Resources staff member, investigated the complaint
and determined that standards
for spreading manure on frozen and snow-covered ground
defined in Ohios Agriculture
Pollution Abatement were not
being followed, stated Heis.
Therefore, manure dis-

Holton had been incarcerated in the

HAVILAND AND GROVER

HILL The Paulding County Carnegie Library will celebrate National
Bookmobile Day at two locations
during National Library Week.
The county bookmobile will be
celebrating mobile library service
in Haviland on Tuesday, April 14,
from 5:30-7:30 p.m. (There will
be no other stops on that day). On

Mis Speld is sneaky and enjoys
misspelling all the words. We need
your help in thwarting these two villains!
Our Reading Reinforcement
superhero team, (Kathy Heffley and
Tawnya English), will don their super-power capes and get to work. By
encouraging reading, they will foil
these two reading villains who are
on bound and determined to discourage the love of reading. Lots of prizes and goodies will be given away

PAULDING The consolidation of three locations into
one has proven to be a more
effective means to organize
Job and Family Services for
area residents, according to
Corey Walker, executive director for the agency.
Previously, the agency consisted of a family services
location, a job location and
a meeting place for private
family meetings. These days,
thanks to a move from 303 W.
Harrison St. to 250 Dooley
Drive, that situation has been
relieved.
We took three locations
and put them all under one
roof, noted Walker. There

is a cost savings with that and
it feels spacious.
This is a newer facility,
much more suited for what
we do, continued Walker. It
is more dignified with more
of a positive atmosphere. It
makes our people more approachable to those who are
seeking help. The way we
have tied them together now,
we have traditional support
services, but all services are
right here.
Walker said it is easier if
those seeking assistance can
stay under one roof rather
than having to drive from
building to building across
town. He noted that most foot
traffic is for the job center. He

explained that individuals can
call and set up appointments,
but walk-ins are also welcome.
Childrens services investigates child abuse and neglect
and protection of children;
adult protective services investigates abuse and neglect,
Walker said.
A new program, Ohio
Means Jobs, allows us to work
with employers and employees to develop a work force
and take care of employees,
said Walker. Would-be employees fill out information
requests and employers look
through them for the type of
employee that they need.
Walker said that there is

always a chance that an employer might reject someone,
but the agency does all it can
to find a job with the individuals skill set. Those looking
for employment also are instructed on how to search for
a job and how to take care of
such necessary steps as filling
out a rsum.
Walker said that the agency
currently is going through a
process of imaging individual records to make them more
easily accessible where there
is need.
We are able to serve our
clients much better when
things arent so spread out,
observed Walker. When they
are spread out, it is easier for
things to get misplaced. With
this facility, we are able to
do things teaching-wise that
we couldnt have otherwise.
Weve had a lot of positive
comments from our clients.
They like it because the area
has more privacy and space.
The morale of our employees seems more positive,
added Walker. The commissioners had foresight about
this facility when the opportunity presented itself. They
recognized the need for us to
get into a modern facility. We
are very grateful for this.

charge to waters of the state was

likely, continued Heis. After
the investigation, Trent Stoller,
the operator, agreed to stop manure application and to put in
place measures that could contain the runoff in an attempt to
reduce or prevent a discharge.
The original complaint was
filed on Feb. 26. Heis said that by
March 9, the snow was melting.
He noted that meltwater is
unable to infiltrate frozen soil.
Therefore, the meltwater mixed
with recently applied manure
had flowed from the field into
the ditch and continued downstream.
Due to the large volume of
meltwater, attempts to contain the
runoff were unsuccessful. Several other entities responded to this
discharge of pollution, including

EMA. These entities continued
to monitor the site through the
week as the snow melt and runoff
continued, said Heis.
County EMA director Ed
Bohn noted that his primary
interest in the matter was Flat
Rock Creek. He said that he
monitored the creek for a short
time when it was discovered
that a small amount of the discharge had indeed gone into the
waterway. He monitored the
site for about a week until he
was satisfied that it was no longer a problem.
The pollution event can be
attributed to the application of
manure to snow-covered frozen soil, said Heis. Since the
snow and the soil have melted,
another significant discharge is
not likely. The Paulding County Soil and Water Conservation
District will continue to follow
up. However, since the spring
thaw, there is no longer an immediate threat to pollution.
Gov. Kasich just signed
Senate Bill One, continued Heis. This law bans the
spreading of manure on frozen
and snow-covered ground in the
Western Lake Erie Basin. The
intent of this law is to prevent
this type of manure application
that led to this incident in Paulding County.

Also, please note the rules

There are to be NO bikes or
scooters using the ramps. The
bikes and scooters are very
hard on the screws and the
ramp surface. The ramps were
built for the skateboarders.
The future of the park depends on obeying the rules!
The special entrances were
created and installed to prohibit the entrance of bikes and
scooters, however people have
consistently helped each other disobey the rules by lifting
their bikes and scooters over
the fencing!
The larger ramp has become
a gathering place for kids who
are not skateboarders. Those
kids are in the way of the
skateboarding activity and are
throwing the stones, sliding
down the ramps, and even
writing notes on the Skatelite
special surfaces. Those special
surfaces are costly and if they
have to be replaced due to
vandalism, the park will have
to be closed indefinitely.
Those who value their
skatepark, please help enforce
the rules and omit the vandalism so it is a safe and fun
place for all who highly regard
the gift they have been given.

Former police chief says rewarding calls outweighed the bad
By JUDY WELLS
Feature Writer
ANTWERP After 31
years in law enforcement,
72-year-old Joyce Carr is
hanging up her uniform, putting away her badge and unloading her revolver.
On March 4 of this year, she
officially retired from her job
as Chief of Police of Antwerp.
She says the most difficult
part of her retired life will
be missing the officers who
worked under her. But she
plans to stop in at the police
department often to visit.
Joyce graduated from Antwerp High School in 1960.
While still a sophomore, she
knew she wanted to become a
police officer. At
high
school career days, I went
to the law enforcement class
but was told by the instructor
that females had a very slim
chance of ever becoming officers, she says. He told me I
had just wasted my time and
his, and advised me to choose
another career, something
more suited to a female.
So she did just that. She began her first job before shed
even graduated, in April 1960,
as secretary to the vice president at First National Bank in
Fort Wayne.
And I didnt even graduate
until May, she says. Ive also
worked as an efficiency expert
assistant, an orthodontists assistant, officer manager, lab
technician, interior decorator,
emergency medical technician, and was Antwerps first
female EMS coordinator. But
I always knew Id end up in
law enforcement.
On Christmas Day of 1963,
Joyce married her high school
sweetheart, Dave Carr, in the
Mormon Reorganized Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints.
They have two daughters,
Lynne and Jennifer, two
grandchildren,
18-year-old
Lydia Eileen Carr and David
Emerson Addis, whos 14, and
a son-in-law, Chuck Addis.
Lydia and David both attend
high school in Las Vegas,
where both their daughters
live.
Joyces law enforcement career began in the early 1980s
when she received a call from
then-sheriff John L. Keeler,
asking if she would be interested in working at the sher-
iffs department.
When I told him Id consider it, he asked me to come
over and try it for a couple
weeks to see what I thought
about the job, she remembers. We had a family vacation scheduled for the following two weeks, so I told him
Id have to wait until we got
home from that. He asked me
to come over anyway and try
it out, and then if I wanted the
job it would be mine when we
got home.
She was hired shortly after
their return by Sheriff Keeler, who was Paulding County
sheriff for 25 years. He retired
in 1985.
I started out as a communications officer for the department, Joyce says. Then
I went to basic police school
and was sworn in as a reserve
deputy sheriff. My instructor
was Paulding Police Chief
Paul Keeler, who was so
knowledgeable and the greatest teacher anyone could ever
ask for. He had forgotten more
than most police officers ever
know!
Joyce also attended an instructors course and helped
teach basic police school.
Soon after that, she worked
in the jail as a full-time corrections officer as well as a
reserve deputy sheriff. After
taking a corrections officer
course at the University of
Findlay, she was then able
to teach corrections officer
classes locally.
In March 1994, Joyce
joined the reserves on the Antwerp Police Department, in
addition to remaining a corrections officer at the sheriffs
department. In October of that
year, she was hired as the fulltime assistant police chief in
Antwerp. She then went on
to become the villages first
female police chief following
a week-long officers training
school in Columbus.
Being the only woman in
the class of approximately 25
officers, I was mostly ignored
by the other students, she
says. I usually sat in the back
row and tried to keep to myself.
But one day the instructor
called out, Chief Joyce Carr,
can you answer the question
and give us your options as to
what you would do about this
problem? The other students
Judy Wells/Paulding County Progress
Walking out the door for the last time was bittersweet for Joyce
Carr. I enjoyed every minute of my law enforcement career, she
says. If I had it to do all over again, I certainly would. It was the most
enjoyable job Ive ever had, even though it was something where I
never knew if the next call would be something where I was going to
get hurt or if someone had just locked their keys in their car.
turned around and looked at
me like they were stunned.
Upon seeing their faces, the
instructor said, I guess none
of you guys realized she outranks every one of you here,
did you? After that it was
amazing how their attitudes
towards me changed.
In Antwerp, Joyce worked
under the direction of mayors
Louise Miller and Margaret
Womack.
They stood totally behind
their police officers, which
made my job enjoyable,
Joyce says.
After completing all the
necessary requirements and
paperwork to obtain a grant
from Cops First, the village
was able to hire another officer.
We hired Victoria Clemens, whod been one of the
students I taught in the basic
police course, she said. I
knew she had potential, so I
Id hear them talking on

their CB radios, warning other drivers that they needed to
be careful or theyd get a citation, she recalls. Some of
their replies were, Yeah, we
know. Weve been hearing
shes on duty ever since we
left Indianapolis or Toledo.
But after a while most of
the drivers who went through
town on a regular basis started talking to me on the CB
and realized that unless they
really had a citation coming
theyd just get a verbal warning. But there were a lot of
them who were cited. When
they found out my husband
was also a truck driver, they
had even more respect for me
and joked about how many
tickets Id given him.
One of Joyces main goals
as a police officer was to help
get young children and teenagers - and even some adults
- headed in the right direction
instead of into the court system.
It didnt take long for me
to figure out which ones really
wanted help getting their lives
straightened out and which
ones didnt, she says. Today,
a majority of the young ones I
worked with are leading productive lives and some are
even in professional fields.
I remember one young
man who used to come into
my office crying and extremely distraught. Id talk to him
for hours, trying to calm him
down. Last summer he came
from the West Coast to visit
and thank me for all the help
Id given him. Its rewarding to know that I may have
helped some of them get their
lives headed in the right direction.
Even though shell miss her
fellow officers, Joyce says its
a relief knowing that when she
goes to bed she wont be getting called out in the middle
of the night.
Whenever one of us needed back-up, we always knew
the others were there to help,

she says. But to this day, our
present Chief, George Clemens III, wont let me live down
the time I showed up in a pink
jumpsuit with my gun belt on.
I could tell by his voice
on the scanner that he was in
trouble, so I didnt take time
to get into my uniform. I just
strapped on my gun belt and
went to the scene. He was
glad to see me but still laughs
about that pink jumpsuit. And
actually it was just a pink top
and a pair of pink capris.
When Joyce first hired Victoria Clemens, whos now
a captain on the force, she
always worried about Vicki
when she was on duty. Even
though she was very knowledgeable and knew how to
handle most situations, she always knew I was just a phone
call away, Joyce says.
And when I needed assistance, Vicki always had my
back. We became so close that
she was almost like a daughter to me. Since both my girls
live so far away, Ive kind of
adopted Vicki as my third
daughter. I think well always
have that bond, no matter
what happens in the future.
In June, Joyce and Dave
will be attending granddaughter Lydias high school graduation ceremony in Las Vegas.
Lydia just got her drivers
license, so shes going to ride
home with us and spend a few
weeks here, Joyce says. We
told her she could drive part of
the way, so shes excited about
that. Then shell fly home and
get ready for college, even
though she hasnt decided
which school to go to yet.
On the way home, theyll
stop to visit Graceland and a
few other attractions along the
way. But as far as keeping
busy, that doesnt seem to be
a concern for us at this point,
Joyce says. Weve got plenty to do to keep us out of our
rocking chairs for a long time
to come!
asked her if shed like to work

for the Antwerp P.D. before
shed even completed the entire course and taken her state
examination. As soon as shed
finished her classes and taken
the exam, she was hired.
Before Officer Clemens
joined the force, Officer Matt
McDougall and Joyce had
been covering the department
24-hours a day, seven days a
week. Officer McDougall later resigned to take a new position at another agency. Officer
Randy Eaton was hired after
Joyce became Chief. When
she took over that position,
the department had been running in the red.
I give Officer Eaton a lot of
credit for helping get us back
in the black, she says.
Joyce became known as the

Am I your pet peeve?

Every day, we see things
and situations that just annoy
us. I guess the term for it is
pet peeves. We all have
them, always will have them,
but yours may be different
than mine. In fact, I may do
something that is your pet
peeve. It is possible.
There are a lot of pet peeves
that are focused around drivers. There are drivers who
speed, go too slow, fail to signal, tailgate, and pass when
another vehicle is approaching. I dont claim to be the
worlds best driver, but the
above items are all on my
pet peeve list. However, I
am sure that people who get
behind me are saying, Hurry
up, Grandma! Get a move on.
Another place where you
can observe a lot of annoying
situations is in a restaurant.
Have you ever ordered a buffet, gone up to get your food
and discovered that a group
ahead of you wiped it clean?
Or, you go to a fast food drive
through, get home and discover your order is wrong? Is this
a legitimate pet peeve or
does it just happen to me?
We are all supposedly
taught manners at home such
as not to pick our nose (at
least in public) and to chew
with our mouths shut.These
are just etiquette practices that
we should all follow. However, it never fails, if I look hard
enough, I will find someone
loudly slurping their soup
or chewing with their mouth
wide open showing all the
food in their mouth.
Another thing that may a pet
peeve to you, but not to me, is
watching and listening to a
person cracking their knuckles. Personally, I have always
wanted to do this because I
find it entertaining and not a

pet peeve.
A pet peeve involving pets
is also something that irks me.
We were at an outdoor concert
a few years ago and there was a
person pushing a baby stroller.
The stroller was covered with a
blanket and of course I wanted
to see the baby in the stroller,
so I asked if I could. Well, the
blanket came off and here was
a cat in a bonnet which looked
very hot and grumpy. I said,
Oops! Nice kitty! Maybe to
others it is good to push your
cat in a stroller to a concert, but
I think my cat can just walk or
stay home.
These are not things I am
griping about, they are just ordinary things that happen that
are my pet peeves. The other
day as I was shopping, I heard
a lot of screaming and yelling.
There was a little kid who was
not happy because he wanted
a certain toy. His mama was
telling him that if he continued
to throw a fit they would not
get to go to McDonalds for
lunch.
This is not something I
heard for the first time, because I am sure we have all
had those experiences. However, after the child yelled and
kicked, he decided to make

a run around the store aisles.
Does this bother anyone else?
When more that one person
resides in the same living quarters, they will both have pet
peeves and sometimes you
dont know it until you actually do one of them. My husband always had a pet peeve
because whenever I read a
newspaper, I would start at the
back and read. As I progressed
through the paper, it always
was mixed up when he went
to read it. The same way with
map folding. He would get upset because no matter how hard
I tried, I could never get that
map back to its original state.
After reading all about pet
peeves I found that I am not
really abnormal at all because
mine are a lot like the listing
of top pet peeves. They are:
chewing with mouth open
and making mouth noises;
driving etiquette; movie talkers; someone who is wearing
clothing with the tags still on;
cell phone drivers; misspelled
words such as your and
youre; bathrooms with no
toilet paper; and a 13-year-old
acting like he is 30.
The world is full of people who have annoying habits which may be your pet
peeve. In fact, I probably do
all kinds of things on this list.
I do admit: I have tried to steal
someone elses parking place,
driven too slow and had people say, Move it Granny;
worn something with the tags
still on it; and no doubt I have
talked or screamed in a movie.
Living in a big world, what
may a pet peeve to you
could be a normal habit for
others. What do you think?
What really annoys you? Let
me know and Ill give you a
Penny for Your Thoughts.
IRS lists ways to avoid

common tax return errors
WASHINGTON, D.C.
The tax filing deadline is one
week away, and the Internal
Revenue Service has already
received 90 million individual
tax returns roughly three out
of five returns expected to be
received in 2015.
For the millions of taxpayers who will file in the next
two weeks, the IRS offers the
following reminders:
File electronically. Filing electronically, whether
through e-file or IRS Free
File, vastly reduces tax return errors, as the tax software
does the calculations, flags
common errors and prompts
taxpayers for missing information. And best of all, there
is a free option for everyone.
Mail a paper return to the
right address. Paper filers
should check IRS.gov or their
form instructions for the appropriate address where to file
to avoid processing delays.
Take a close look at the
tax tables. When figuring tax
using the tax tables, taxpayers
should be sure to use the correct column for the filing status claimed.
Fill in all requested information clearly. When entering information on the tax return, including Social Security
numbers, take the time to be

sure it is correct and easy to
read. Also, check only one filing status and the appropriate
exemption boxes.
Review all figures. While
software catches and prevents
many errors on e-file returns,
math errors remain common
on paper returns.
Get the right routing and
account numbers. Requesting direct deposit of a federal
refund into one, two or even
three accounts is convenient
and allows the taxpayer access to his or her money faster.
Make sure the financial institution routing and account
numbers entered on the return
are accurate. Incorrect numbers can cause a refund to be
delayed or deposited into the
wrong account.
Sign and date the return.
If filing a joint return, both
spouses must sign and date the
return. E-filers can sign using
a self-selected personal identification number (PIN).
Attach all required forms.
Paper filers need to attach
W-2s and other forms that reflect tax withholding, to the
front of their returns. If requesting a payment agreement
with the IRS, also attach Form
9465 to the front of the return.

Once ready to be filed, taxpayers should make a copy
of their signed return and all
schedules for their records.
Request a Filing Extension. For taxpayers who cannot meet the April 15 deadline, requesting a filing extension is easy and will prevent
late filing penalties. Either use
Free File (link again) or Form
4868. But keep in mind that
while an extension grants additional time to file, tax payments are still due April 15.
Owe tax? If so, a number of
e-payment options are available. Or send a check or money order payable to the United States Treasury.
Taxpayers may find additional help and resources on
IRS.gov, including the IRS

Red worms can eat shredded paper and produce compost that can be used as a fertilizer for
plants and gardens.
Vermicomposting: Putting
worms to work for you
By Staci Miller
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
Vermicomposting is the process of using
worms (vermin is Latin for worm) to process organic food waste into nutrient-rich soil.
The saying One persons trash is another persons treasure (or in this case a worms treasure), is very true.
Worms are able to eat decaying food waste
and produce vermicompost which is packed
full of beneficial microbes and nutrients that
are a great plant fertilizer. Worm castings or
worm poop create the nutrient-rich compost.
Vermicomposting is becoming very popular
in towns or cities because it is able to be done
indoors and in a small space. Creating a worm
bin can be a fun way to reuse your food scraps
to create a natural fertilizer that will help your
plants grow.
If you choose to make a worm bin, you will
first need to create decide on the size of bin
you want to maintain. Storage totes make a
great inexpensive home for your worms. Once
you purchase your two storage totes, you need
to provide ventilation and drainage for the
worms. You will need to use a 1/4-inch drill
bit to drill several holes throughout the bottom
on one tote. The other tote will be used to collect the excess liquids, or worm tea, which can
be used as a liquid fertilizer for your plants.
Next you will need to use four wooden
blocks 2-4 inches high to prop up the bin with
holes in it and allow for drainage. Then take
the storage tote lid and drill several 1/8-inch
holes in it to allow the worms to breathe.
Once you have your bin made, its now
ready for worms. You will need to use red
worms for your bin because red worms live
close to the earths surface and dont need a lot
of space to burrow. Dont make the mistake of
buying night crawlers because they are deep
dwellers and need a large area to burrow.
Red worms can be ordered online and you
will need approximately one pound or 1,000
red worms to get started. They can live up to
one year in the bin, but they will reproduce
quickly to keep your bin productive year
around.

Once you have your worms, its time to

introduce them to their new home. You will
need to put a fine layer of soil in the bottom
of the tote as well as shredded newspapers
or paper as their bedding. Next, moisten the
paper as the worms need moisture to survive.
Once you have your worms in your bin, wait
two to three days before you start to add your
food waste. This will give them time to get
adjusted to the new environment.
Your worm bin should be kept in a dry location with temperature between 55 and 77.
Red worms can eat their own weight in organic matter each day. Worms are able to eat a
variety of foods. They are able to eat shredded
paper, fruit and vegetable trimmings, tea bags,
coffee grounds and filters, lawn clipping and
weeds.
It is important to make sure that all foods are
covered with an inch or two of shredded paper
to prevent smells or flies from the decaying
food.
Dont put meat products, dairy products or
oily products in your bin.
You can feed your worms then wait a few
days before you add more scraps to ensure that
they are keeping up with eating.
Once your bin grows heavy and your bin has
soil piled up in the bottom of it, you can collect your compost. The migration method is an
easy way to collect your compost and maintain
your worms. You will want to open your bin
and gently push all the compost to one side.
Prepare the other side with new bedding and
start to feed the worms in the new bedding.
The worms will then migrate to the new food
source allowing you to easily collect your
compost for your plants.
Your rich compost will help your plants to
grow with this natural fertilizer.
Recently, the Paulding SWCD made their
own worm bin as an educational tool for classrooms and adult presentations. Anyone interested in learning more about vermicomposting
or who would like education specialist Staci
Miller to come in and talk with a classroom or
group about vermicomposting should contact
the Paulding SWCD at 419-399-4771.

State Rep. Tony Burkley (right) recently visited Melissa Harders classroom at Paulding High
School to spend the day talking with students about the Common Core PARCC/AIR testing. Student
Chloe Foltz (left) had written a letter with a petition attached to Mr. Burkley, another representative
and the Governor to express her and her classmates dissatisfaction with what Ohio is doing with the
standardized testing. She did not receive a response, so Harder contacted Burkley and encouraged
him to reply. I did not want her to get discouraged with the political process, the teacher explained.
Burkley ended up writing to both of them and also accepted Harders offer to spend the day with her
freshmen. I wanted him to be able to hear from them their concerns, and also for them to hear from
him as to what he has been working on in regard to the testing, Harder said. It was a great day and
I believe that Mr. Burkley will go back to the State and express the students concerns and will work
hard toward the elimination of Common Core and its PARCC and AIR tests for Ohio.

Long 8th at elementary state wrestling meet
YOUNGSTOWN Four
members of the Wayne Trace
Wrestling Club traveled to the
Covelli Center in Youngstown
on March 28 to compete in the
OAC Elementary State Wrestling
Championships. Kamryn Sutton,
Kaiden Feeney, Jarrett Hornish
and Hunter Long, all district placers, were hoping to land a spot on
the state podium this year.
Kamryn Sutton was the first
wrestler to begin his journey at
the state tournament for Wayne
Trace. This was Suttons first year
competing at the state level. The
young grappler had a tough first
round draw and was pinned by
Evan Jett from Clinton Massie
in the first period. Sutton came
back ready for his second match
against Camron Lewicki from
Garrettsville, winning with a
dominating score of 12-0. Sutton
then advanced to continue wrestling on Sunday, at which he fell
short losing to Reese Marshall
from Amanda Clearcreek by pin.
Kaiden Feeney, also a first-timer to compete at the state tournament, was pinned in the first
round by Copleys DOmare Portis. Feeney then wrestled Carter
Elliott from Greenwood and was
defeated by pin.
Jarrett Hornish, not a stranger to the state tournament, knew
the competition he would be up

against and Hornish was prepared. Hornish won his first
round match against Kurt Corrigan from Ashtabula with a pin.
Hornish took yet another win
in round two against Smithvilles
Micheal Harris, pinning his opponent in the third period. Hornish
fell short his last match of the
day, losing by pin to Adam Ryder
from North Akron.
Hornish advanced to Sundays
competition, only one match
away from the honor of on the
state podium. Hornish was up
against Eisa Teixeira from Amherst, Hornish wrestled well
but was defeated by a score of
7-1. Hornish, although not placing, had done his personal best
at the state wrestling tournament
thus far with a record of 2-2.
Hunter Long was last to wrestle
for Wayne Trace. Having placed
before at state and this year being the youngest in his division,
Long knew what he would be up
against. He was quickly defeated
by pin in his first round of competition by Nicholas Willingham of
Aurora.
The second round belonged to
the future Raider as Long won by
decision 8-0 against Bryce Schott
from Mt. Vernon. This win advanced Long to the second day of
competition and he knew he had

to win three matches to put him
on the podium, and that is exactly
what he did. Long won his next
two matches with scores of 6-2
and 3-2.
The final match, an exciting
overtime affair, ensured Long a
spot on the podium. The Wayne
Trace wrestler defeated Nolan
Moore from Pinnacle WC, in
overtime by a final score of 4-2.
Long was then defeated in the
next two rounds with scores of
0-4, and 0-14. Long stood on the
podium as an 8th place finisher of
the 2015 OAC Elementary Grade
School State Wrestling Championships.
On March 28, the Wayne Trace
Wrestling Club hosted its own
tournament with the following
results
First place Kamren and
Avin Johnson, Corbin Kimmel.
Second place Colton Kimmel, Landon Blankenship, Kaiden Suffel, Conner Blakenship,
Derrrek Dangler.
Third place Koden Martz,
Grady Helms, Malaki Neilson,
Tyler Blankenship, Renson
Spear, Caleb Mosier.
Fourth place Daniel Clark,
Zanden Wineland, Blake Dunn,
Preston King, Asa Ames, Arin
James.
Four wrestlers representing the Wayne Trace Wrestling Club participated in the state elementary meet following their performance at the district tournament. Hunter Long (third from the left)
managed an eighth place finish and the opportunity to stand on the tournament podium. Other
participants in no particular order include Kamryn Sutton, Kaiden Feeney and Jarrett Hornish.
Fans in the stands and players on the sidelines participated in the annual 24-hour Basketball
Marathon at the Payne gym. Over $6,000 was raised for the newly named Paulding Area Support

installed at Archer Field. The lights were purchased from the Clyde School at a cost of $5,000 and
will bring much improvement to the lighting during night games and other activities hosted at the
field. The purchase of new lights was a great savings for the local district. It is estimated that new
lights would have cost approximately $200,000.

finale
COMPETES AT STATE Austin Lichty, a 12-year-old student at

Antwerp, is mastering the art of free throw shooting at a young
age. Recently, the sharpshooter worked his way through the
Knights of Columbus-sponsored statewide free throw contest.
Lichty won his age level event in the area competition at Hicksville, the district at Edgerton and the Bowling Green regional
where he hit 21-25 free throws. At the state free throw contest,
the future Archer canned 23 throws out of 25 attempts to finish
second. The eventual winner was a perfect 25-25.

Marathon raises $6,100

for area support society
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
PAYNE The 37th annual
charity Basketball Marathon
raised an estimated $6,100 for
the Paulding Area Support Society (PASS), according to director
Chad Benschneider, this years
director. Benschneider said that
not all bills had been submitted
as of Monday, and the figure is an
estimated one until all expenses
are paid.
Money from the marathon, fall
mailing and individual donations
throughout the year are used for
county residents on such things
as medications, assistance with
medications, physical and occupational therapy, speech therapy,
handicap programs, appliances
such as wheel chairs, braces and
more.
The countywide volunteer
board of PASS screens every
application to ensure that there
is need and that the need is not
fulfilled by other means. Applications are available from any
board member.
Some years things come together a little faster than others.
This was one of those years when
things didnt come together so
fast to start with, but it all worked
out in the end, said Benschneider.
We continue to appreciate all
of the support we get from businesses and individuals around
the area. Its not just Paulding
County, there are supporting efforts that come from surrounding
counties and Indiana.
Benschneider noted that there
were seven divisions of teams
playing for 24.5 consecutive
hours during the Marathon.
This years results included:
Co-Ed 1. Maddox Creek
Wildlife Area, 2. Shooter
Women 1. St. Johns Tire
Service, 2. Mean Girls
Men 1. The Linder Clan,
2. Hormanns Heating and Cooling

Benschneider noted that in the
Mens Division, the Linder Clan
set an all-time record with 191
points.
Thats a lot of points for 24
minutes of basketball, said Benschneider.
This years traveling plaque
went to Jeremy Dunderman, a
20-year board member since the
17th marathon.
We are so thankful for his

years of service, said Benschneider.
Another new event this year
was a 50/50 raffle which was
won by Ida Mae Mielke.
An additional feature this year
was the presence of a sports photographer, Patrick Mericle. Mericle told Benschneider that anyone
wishing to obtain a photo can do
so by calling 260-388-7777 or
on the Internet, pass.greenbearsports.com.
As always, we appreciate the
volunteers who work the concessions, clock workers and who
serve officiating, observed Benschneider.
During the Basketball Marathon, many age groups played basketball games all night long. There were winners and losers, but the big
winner was the Paulding Area Support Society (PASS) that raised over
$6,000 during the annual event. Here, an unidentified leaper who has
the knack for going to the hoop goes above the rim for an easy basket.

EDON 17, WAYNE TRACE 2

to victories of 17-2 and 18-2.
Game one saw the hosts plate eight

the mound.
First, we have to do a better job
of just throwing strikes, commented Wayne Trace head coach Matt
Noggle. Walks come back to haunt
you and they did that again today.
The Raiders also have to improve
on the defensive side of the ball after giving up 27 unearned runs in
the doubleheader.
Defensively, we need to become
much better, Noggle continued.
We know we are capable of playing better baseball but now we have
to go out and do it.

WAYNE TRACE 13, OTTOVILLE O
Coming off of a Final Four
berth in 2014, the Wayne
Trace softball team got off to
a near perfect start Tuesday
night as the Raiders cruised
past host Ottoville 13-0 in a
five-inning victory.
Raider senior pitcher Addison Baumle retired the first
14 Big Green hitters before
senior Courtney Von Sossan
broke up the perfect game
with a bloop single over third
base with two outs in the bottom of the fifth inning.
Baumle then bounced back
to strike out Ottovilles Robyn
Turnwald to wrap up the season-opening victory.
It was a good start to the
season for us, commented
Wayne Trace head coach Jack
Baumle. Addie threw the ball
well and we did a lot of positive things tonight.
After both starting pitchers
faced the minimum number
of hitters in the first inning,
Wayne Traces Bailey Bergman started the second inning
with a home run over the left
field fence to put the Raiders
on top.
With one out, Carley Wright
singled and moved to second
when Leah Sinn walked. An-
other walk to Sydney Critten

loaded the bases before a tworun single by Madison Zartman made it 3-0 Raiders.
Baumle then wrapped up
the scoring in the inning with
a two-run double that plated
Critten and Zartman for a 5-0
advantage.
For the most part, we made
good contact with the ball tonight, added the Raider head
coach. The girls did a good
job of adjusting to the slower
speed.
Von Sossan suffered the loss
for Ottoville, tossing three innings while allowing eight hits
and nine runs (six earned).
With the lead, Baumle
continued to cruise along
for Wayne Trace. The senior
pitcher fanned two Big Green
hitters each in the second and
third innings before striking
out all three in the top of the
fourth.
Wayne Trace added four
runs in the top of the fourth.
Zartman reached on an error to start the inning before a
Baumle double pushed Wayne
Traces lead to 6-0.

The bluebird carries Glass recycling returning

the sky on its back
Henry David Thoreau made
this poetic observation and its
the bluebirds luminous feathers that contribute to its appeal
for many of us. It was many
years before I saw my first
bluebird and the thrill I experienced when I did is something
I relive each time I see the first
one in the spring.
True spring weather eluded
us this year until just last week,
when one day it seemed as if
spring happened overnight. I
spent part of that glorious day
working in the garden, trying
to get winters detritus out of
the way of the emerging bulbs
and the new growth on the
perennials. It was shocking to
see what was going on under
all that stuff.
There were thousands of
ladybugs scurrying about as
they awoke from their winter
slumber and in some locations
I could have scooped up handfuls of them. These are not the
obnoxious Asian lady beetles,
but the native pink-spotted ladybugs that Im happy to see,
and the more the better. They
help keep the aphids in check
on roses and other garden
plants.

In the
Garden
By
Kylee Baumle
The crocuses were in full
bloom, and by the time you
read this, the reticulated irises
should be too. Those glowing Glory of the Snow (Chionodoxa luciliae) have made
their appearance and for those
of you who live in or drive
through Payne, be sure to
drive by the house just east of
the elementary school on Ohio
49. The tree line at the west
edge of the property is sure to
be full of them and its a beautiful display of blue.
After I finished up my work
at the end of that warm spring
day, I went to the house to get
my camera so that I could capture some of the beauty I had
seen. I photographed the crocuses, of course, and when I
knelt down to get close, I saw
my first honeybee of the season, busily collecting nectar
and pollen.
As I walked around the yard,
I noticed more new growth
here and there, and then something else caught my eye. Was
it ... could it be? Using the
telephoto lens of my camera
like binoculars, I focused in on
something sitting on a branch
of one of our small trees.
That familiar thrill hit my
stomach as I realized the bluebirds had returned. We live
just north of their year-round
range so we dont usually see
them until the weather has
warmed enough for them to
move further north. This one
had been checking out one of
the three bluebird houses we
have. I hope it stays to raise its
family here.
Bluebirds are special to me
because theyre not a particularly flighty bird. Ive been
able to get quite close to them
Paulding County Waste Management Education

and Awareness (WMEA) will be teaming up with
Erie Recycling to bring glass recycling back to the
county program.
This glass recycling endeavor will coincide with
celebrating Earth Day on April 22.
Glass must be rinsed out, caps off and clear bottles must be separated from colored bottles.
The WMEA program continues to accept steel
cans, aluminum cans, plastics #1 and #2, broken
down cardboard, magazines, shredded paper, and
junk mail. All of these items should be brought in
separate containers, boxes or bags.
The recycling schedule is as follows:
First Saturdays of the month at Grover Hill VFW
from 9 a.m.-11 a.m.; Haviland Park from 11:1511:45 a.m.; and at Scott Equity from noon-12:30
p.m. Also, Erie Recycling will have two locations
these days, one at the Paulding County Fairgrounds

from 9-11 a.m. and in Cecil from 9 a.m.-noon.
Second Saturdays of the month will see collections at the Melrose United Methodist Church from
9-9:30 a.m.; Oakwood Park from 9:45-11 a.m.;
and in Junction at the old St. Marys Church from
11:15-11:45 a.m.
Third Saturdays will see recycling locations at the
Payne Ball Park from 9-11 a.m.; at the old Briceton
Propane site from 11:15-11:45 a.m.; and at the Latty
Community Building from noon-12:30 p.m.
Organizers ask that items be sorted and cleaned.
Questions can be directed to Becky Suvar, program manager at 419-399-3630 or email her at
wmea@bright.net.
This activity is brought to the county by the
WMEA program and the Paulding County commissioners.
Foundation accepting scholarship applications

VAN WERT The Van Wert
County Foundation is now accepting Scholarship Applications for the 2015-16 school
year. Scholarships are based on
residency, college grade point
average and financial need and
are available for any recognized
field of study leading to an associate or baccalaureate degree.
An applicant must have been
a resident of Van Wert, Paulding or Allen counties when they
graduated from one of the following eligible high schools:
Bluebirds dont return to the same nest each spring, but as
many as 30 percent of them may return to the same nesting area.
at times and we have shared
many a day working in the
garden together. Theyre also
a bit like blue flowers not so
common, so I appreciate them
when I see them.
Theyre one of several birds
that appear to have blue feathers even though theres no blue
pigment in them. They only
look blue because of the physical structure of the feather and
how the light is reflected back
to our eye in certain lighting.
Blue jays and indigo buntings
appear blue for the same reason; theres no blue pigment in
their feathers, either.

All in all, April 1 was a
memorable day, including
marking the end of maple
syrup season. The sap has
stopped flowing because the
trees are now all thawed out
and their leaves are unfurling.
Spring really has arrived. No
foolin.
