Escaped inmate caught in Michigan

From Staff Reports
PAULDING A Paulding
County jail inmate who escaped
from custody Friday evening was
apprehended early Tuesday in
Michigan.
Sheriff Jason Landers announced J. Tucker Harman, age
26, was taken into custody in
Cheboygan County, Mich., on a
Harman Paulding County Common Pleas
Warrant for escape, a third-degree

felony.
At approximately 6:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 30, the sheriffs office
learned that Harman walked away
from 333 E. Hamilton St., Bryan,
while on a medical furlough.
According to authorities in Cheboygan County, Harman and Mariah Beedle, age 23, were located at a
residence just a few miles south of
the Mackinac Bridge. Harman and

Beedle were in possession of an alleged stolen vehicle out of Indiana.
The vehicle the duo was operating
broke down on I-75, which lead to
law enforcement being contacted.
Harman and Beedle, both of
Paulding, had been indicted in
October, Harman on one count of
having weapons while under disability, a third-degree felony, and

PAULDING A Toledo man

was seriously injured in a crash
involving two semi-trucks on U.S.
24 last Wednesday afternoon.
The Ohio State Highway Patrols Van Wert Post said the incident occurred at 3:29 p.m. Oct. 28
on U.S. 24, one-half mile west of
Road 115 in Emerald Township.
The crash immediately closed
both lanes of westbound U.S. 24.
A 2015 Volvo semi-truck, driven by Daniel W. Guy Jr., age 42,
of Toledo, was westbound on US
24. Guy came upon a slower moving semi-truck driven by Maurice
W. Waller Jr., age 26, of Philadelphia, driving a 2016 International
semi-truck pulling a loaded flatbed trailer.
Troopers said Guy did not slow
or change lanes to account for the
slower semi-truck and struck the
flatbed trailer. Guys truck cab
became separated from the frame,
trapping him in the drivers seat.
Paulding Fire Department and
EMS responded to the crash scene,
and with the help of Gideons
Towing and Recovery, Guy was
extricated from the wreckage. He
was transported by air ambulance
to a Fort Wayne hospital, where he
is being treated for critical injuries.
As of late Monday, Guys condition had been upgraded from
serious to fair condition at
Parkview Regional Medical Center in Fort Wayne.

Landers.
After the stolen vehicle was
identified, the two eventually
gave their true names and were
arrested without incident. Both
individuals are currently being
held on local charges in Michigan, the sheriff said. I have
placed a holder on Harman and
we will extradite him to Paulding once his business is taken
care of in Cheboygan County.
Since Friday, the sheriffs of-
fice had followed several leads

and had an investigator in Bryan
[on Monday] doing follow-up
investigation, said Landers.
In the initial press release,
Landers stated, J. Tucker Harman is being considered a risk to
himself and the community. He
left a note stating he would rather die a free man than go back to
jail. The sheriffs office sought
the publics assistance in locating the fugitive.
n BANK
the bank was closed Friday and
Saturday, but the drive through
service re-opened Nov. 2.
Our intent is to have the
lobby open on Wednesday,
he said.
No damage amount was
available, as the assessment
stage is still under way.
I cant comment on the incident, he concluded.
No further information was

released.
Police cited Papp for failure
to control. Her car was towed.
Responding to the accident
scene were Paulding Fire Department, EMS and Paulding
Police Department, as well as
sheriffs deputies.

The boys and Joe are just relaxing and getting cleaned up.
Our supper was a simple,
easy one. Verena and Loretta
made One-Kettle Soup for our
meal. Also on the menu were
crackers, cheese, and venison
summer sausage. One-Kettle Soup is a soup my mother
always made at home. It is a
favorite in our family. A quick
soup when youre running late
for a meal.
While the girls prepared
supper, I helped the boys sort
through clothes in their bedroom. We put a bedroom suite
in there that we bought at a
recent auction. We needed
some dressers replaced. After
our house fire we had some
older dressers given to us, but
the drawers always would get
stuck. Benjamin, 16, has his
own bed and Joseph, 13, and
Kevin, 10, share a bed. Our
bedrooms upstairs are big
rooms so there is enough space
to fit two beds plus four dressers. Kevin was proud to have
his own dresser for his clothes.
Daughters Elizabeth and
Susan are off work from the
RV factory this week. Elizabeth and her dogs spent the
day here yesterday. We had
a nice day together. Timothy
went deer hunting in the evening and was excited to get
a 7-point buck with a 16-1/2

inch spread. This is the fourth
deer he shot with his compound bow this year. They are
getting their freezer stocked
for the winter.
Tomorrow, daughters Susan, Verena, Loretta and I plan
to go to Elizabeths house to
help her do some cleaning.
With her working every day
she doesnt always get to do
all the extra cleaning. We will
probably wash her windows
and whatever else she needs
done.
When Timothy and Elizabeth were here for supper
one night and were ready to
leave, Izzy went to hide. It
was so cute that she wanted to
stay here. She gets so spoiled.
Crystal is different and will
whine if Elizabeth goes outside without her. Whenever
Elizabeth sits down, Crystal is
right by her side or on her lap.
Recently, we were surprised
to have visitors from Ohio. It
was Joes Uncle Solomon and
his Aunt Rachel. They had
been here the evening before
with intentions to spend the
night here. We had been at

our neighbor Ruths wedding.
We had a voicemail when we
came home from Solomon.
They had already checked in
at a motel, but Joe told them
to come for breakfast. We had
a nice visit with them. This
was the first time Rachel saw
where we live.
Daughter Susan just came
home. She went to Moses
house tonight and then they
went to town. Mose wanted
to buy a new mattress for his
bed. He took Susan out for
supper. The rest are all in bed
so I think Ill join them.
Gods blessings to all!
Ill share the recipe for
One-Kettle Soup this week. I
hope you will enjoy it as much
as we do.
ONE-KETTLE SOUP
1 pint canned chunk beef
4 medium potatoes, peeled
and diced
1 medium onion, left whole

can be added and more or less
noodles. If I have company
we add more to make a bigger
amount.

LEARNING NEW TECHNOLOGY During the teacher inservice at Antwerp Local School on Oct.
19, district librarian Kayla Bagley met with middle and high school teachers to show them how to
use almost 200 new informational text eBooks and 30 Dell tablets. The eBooks and devices were
purchased through a $14,000 grant from the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services
(IMLS), awarded by the State Library of Ohio. Bagley collaborated with middle and high school
teachers to choose the eBooks based on classroom research projects and curriculum needs. Students can access the eBooks through the library website and view them on any device, including
the Dell tablets. Bagley and Cathy Barnett, the districts technology integration specialist, wrote
the grant titled Library2U. The overall goal of the grant was to give students anytime, anyplace
access to reliable electronic resources that directly support classroom instruction and projects.
Here, Kayla Bagley (third from left) reviews with middle school teachers Kurt Tempel, Alyssa Saylor and Zac Feasby how to access the eBooks from the Dell tablet.

You read it here first!

A lot of times all we hear, see
and read on the news is either bad
or maybe things we dont want
to know. Of course, it always
helps to be informed. I will say
that I like reading local news and
knowing what is going on in our
community. It is important to be
informed about news such as politics, sports, obituaries, what is on
sale, who is getting married, who
got a divorce and who got into
trouble. Of course, a little humor
is good to read, too.
As I was searching for a certain
topic, I ran across some incredible news items from across the
globe. By the way, these are all
strange, but true, news items and
will surely help give you something to ponder.
CHINA -In a bid to improve
sales, a Chinese restaurant recently ran a special promotion
by offering discounts to female
customers based on the lengthof
their skirts. The shorter the skirt,
the bigger the discount! The
amount of skin-show upwards of
the knee was measured upon arrival, and the discount percentage
was determined accordingly. The
promotion, which ran for a week,
was reported to have been a big
success. Hordes of women lined
up outside the establishment to
have their skirts measured. The
highest hemline recorded was 13
inches above the knee, giving that
lady a 90 percent discount. (I did
not read that they measured any
shorts, but who knows, it could
be in the plans for next year.)
JAPAN - Lots of people love
cats, but how many would actually want to smell like one? Well, as
it turns out, theres a small army
of cat-lovers who love the smell
of cat paws. So much so that
theyre willing to spend money
on a Japanese hand cream that
promises to make them smell like
feline paws. The cream can be
purchased online and the company said that the idea was from a
brainstormingsession, when an
employee suggested making a
cream that leaves the skin as soft
and squeezable as a cats paw.
Everyone at the meeting loved
the idea, and eventually they
got to talking aboutthe smell of
catspaws, which is apparently
considered mysteriously soothing. So the company finally decided to market their cream with
the same smell.

ATLANTA - If you want to
teach your misbehaving child a
lesson, then take them to a barber
shop Salon A-1 Kurtz. Russell
Fredrick and his team came up
with an unusual idea. The solution to getting a youngster to
behave was the haircut named
the Benjamin Button Special.
The haircut involves shaving the
crown of the head and leaving the
sides long to make them look like
a balding person. The service, offered three times per week, is free
of charge. (Any takers?)
TOKYO Do you and your
significant other wear glasses?
Do you take them off when you
kiss? Are your glasses always in
the way? Never fear. The company Blinc Vase has come up with a
unique solution: a pair of glasses
designed for those long liplocked
smooches between a couple who
both wear spectacles. Known as
Kiss Eyeglasses, these are twoway glasses with a single pair of
lens which can be worn by two
people at one time.How is that
even possible? The glasses have
two pairs of arms facing opposite
ways, allowing a couple (who
would otherwise be wearing two
pairs of specs) to get even closer
to each other. Of course, an easier solution would be to just take
both pairs off for a specs-free experience. But you have to admit,
kiss eyeglasses sound way more
fun. This way, even people with
the worst eyesight can gaze at
their significant other while sharing a kiss.
JAPAN Notebook manufacturer Magnus Ferreus has
launched a quirky new product,
the Onion Note. True to its name,
HICKSVILLE On Thursday, Nov. 12, Community Memorial Hospital will begin its
Walk with a Doc program. Dr.
Vasavi Reddy will be the physician who will be leading the
walk.
At noon, any interested walkers can meet at the main entrance
of CMH. Dr. Reddy will share a
healthy tip with the walkers and
then the walk will begin around
the perimeter of the hospital. The
perimeter walk is approximately
one-half mile, which will allow
walkers to stop after the first
round or continue to get in more
steps.
Walk with a Doc was cre-
ated by Dr. David Sabgir, a cardiologist who practices at Mount

Carmel. His walking program is
dedicated to improve the health
and well-being of its participants.
CMH will hold a monthly
walk, even throughout the winter, as all paths will be clear of
snow and ice.
There is no fee to participate
so please consider joining Dr.
Reddy and other people looking
to improve their health on Nov.
12 at CMH.
According to the American
Heart Association, walking has
the lowest dropout rate of any
physical activity, plus the added
bonus of walking with others
A Penny for
Your Thoughts
By
Nancy Whitaker
the notebook will make you cry

every time you scribble something in it. Thankfully, it doesnt
stink like an onion, it only has
the same effect as cutting one.
The pages of the Onion Note
have been treated chemical compounds that are the same ones
found in onion oil that makes you
onions. You dont have to chop
up the pages for the oil to work,
because the heat caused by the
friction of writing on the page
will evaporate the compounds,
releasing tear-inducing gas into
your face.
According to the CEO of Magnus Ferreus, we all spend a lot of
time writing in notebooks, but
we have never been emotionally
moved by them. So he wanted to
change that by introducing a revolutionary product to allow us to
make notes in a dramatic way.
(I wonder if your hands would
smell like onions?)
ENGLAND Several years
ago, when Mike Warren-Madden worried that his pet fish
Malcolm was getting bored, he
decided to do something about
it. He spent weeks at the drawing
board, designing a unique device an Aquatic Perambulator
that would allow him to take
his fish for a walk. The Aquatic Pram (stroller) is about four
feet tall and made from laser-cut
steel. Mike, a former sheet metal
worker, has spent the better part
of the past seven years tinkering
with the pram, trying to make
it better. Because of my background as a sheet metal worker,
I have been able to build this at
little cost, but for someone else
it would cost hundreds to make,
Mike pointed out. I think Id like
someone to come forward and
help me motorize it perhaps with
a remote control. The pram did
help Fishy Malcolm live a more
exciting life; he was probably the
most adventurous fish to ever live
in a bowl. Sadly,Malcolm is now
dead, but the pram still works.
That is just some of the happenings going on in our world and
just think you read it right here in
your local newspaper. What do
you think about kissing glasses,
fish walkers, paw cream, misbehaving kids haircuts and wearing
a short skirt to get a discount? Let
me know and I will give you a
Penny for Your Thoughts.
Grover Hill students Brooke Kilgore and Abbie Bail mix up their soil model (science clay) after
learning about the different soil particles.
Students learn about

the importance of soil
By Staci Miller
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
Oakwood third grade students recently learned
about soils.
Staci Miller, education specialist, visited their
classrooms and taught the students about how
soil is formed through the process of weathering
and erosion. Miller went through a PowerPoint
presentation with the students as they answered
questions.
This presentation was developed according to
the Ohio Science Standards and complimented
their unit on soils. There were 29 students who
learned about the composition of soil and how it
is created.
The presentation also identified the different
types of soils as well as their textures and particle

sizes.
After the PowerPoint presentation, students got
to participate in a hands-on demonstration creating their own soil model. Each student was given
a soil model kit where they actually generated the
different soil layers to create a visual display. The
end result of the soil model was loam soil that is a
mixture of all soil particles and is great for growing plants and crops.
The students really enjoyed learning about how
soil is created and how the different soil types are
identified. Their favorite part of the program was
being able to make their own soils model that they
could take home and play with later.
Schedule Miller for this or many other programs by calling 419-399-4771.
CMH launches Walk

with a Doc program
makes it even more enjoyable.

Some health benefits of walking include: reducing the risk of
coronary heart disease, improve
blood pressure and blood sugar
levels, maintain body weight,
enhance mental well-being, improved blood lipids, reduce the
risk of osteoporosis, reduce the
risk of breast and colon cancer
and reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.
Walking is low impact easier on the joints than running.
JR. MASTER GARDENERS The Paulding County Extension Office Agriculture and 4-H program has
started a new Jr. Master Gardener program in the county. Divine Mercy students enjoyed a hands-on an
educational program on pumpkins aligned with state education standards. Students used math and science skills based upon hypothesis and conducting research. Concluding the unit on pumpkins, students in
grades K-6 traveled with adult Master Gardener Volunteers to all four nursing homes in Paulding County to
decorate pumpkins with the residents. Students used the education gained to further educate the nursing
home residents on pumpkin production. This project helped to create a servant leadership type of community service project crossing the school system, Extension Office, 4-H, Master Gardener volunteers, teachers,
parents, Jr. Master Gardener volunteers and the nursing home residents creating better lives and stronger
communities.

Financial Focus
A close friend told me recently of a dream about a different time and place in his
life. It was in his childhood; in
the midst of winter when soft
snow was falling, he loved to
go the woods lining the frozen creek. There was always
something about a smooth
blanket of snow in the woods,
he said.
His dream, he said, actually
relived something he enjoyed
doing in those quiet moments.
He loved to lay on the blanket
of snow, look up at the sky and
watch the soft flakes descend
from the heavens as though
they were coming from some
mystical quilt above.
For just a moment, there
was a pause, a moment of reflection, and a pensive silence
that indicated that both of us
got what the reflective dream
was all about.
The last several days, I
have been caught up with taking trails in an ACRES Inc.
property known as Munro
Preserve, a woods that majestically stands proud in fall
colors in the famed Limberlost
tradition of author Gene Stratton Porter. In fact, the woods
actually stands on property
once owned by Porter and
her family. On the edge of
the woods stands an old brick
school that is said to have been
the one she had in mind in her
novel, Girl of the Limberlost,
where Elnora supposedly ran
through the woods on the way
to school.
In the midst of that historical
setting, I have been entranced
by millions of gold, orange
and red colored leaves, painting every tree and the forest
floor as though it were some
far-off heavenly place. Each
day as I walk into the special
forest, I feel like I am walk-
HOMESPUN
By
JIM LANGHAM
ing into an imaginary city of
gold. And there, I remember
the smell of burning leaves,
hear the shuffling sound of little feet through fallen leaves
and somehow still feel the leap
of a little boy jumping into a
big pile of leaves he had just
raked.
Then he raked them together again and ran for another plunge. But nothing was
more appreciated at the time
than the moment when my
mother would come out with
hot dogs, marshmallows and

other goodies to be roasted
in the peacefulness of those
distant childhood autumn evenings.
It is still amazing to this
aging man how nature can
trigger the little child within
in those special moments
when a thirsty soul is ready for
another trip back to the land of
memories.
Most recently, a very close
friend sent a quote from Porter that seems to summarize
feelings of a moment in nature
only like Gene Stratton Porter
could do:
The only way to love the
forest is to stay in it, until
you have learned its pathless
travel, growth, and inhabitants as you know the fields.
You must begin at the age and
find your way slowly, else you
will not hear the great secret
and see the compelling vision.
There are trees you never before have seen, flower and
vines the botanists fail to mention, and such music as your
ears cannot hear elsewhere.
Gene Stratton Porter
Prepared for Expenses
By Phil Recker
Edward Jones Advisor
November is National Adoption
Awareness Month. If youre considering adoption, you know that
it will change your life in many
ways. And youll need to prepare
for many of these changes including the financial ones, because
adoption can be expensive.
The average U.S. adoption costs
between $8,000 and $40,000,
while the range for international
adoptions is $15,000 to $30,000,
Heating assistance available through NOCAC

With cold weather fast ap- below 175% of the Federal Pov- the utility bill.
proaching, Northwestern Ohio
Community Action Commission
will once again assist households
to establish or maintain their heating source with the Winter Crisis
Program and Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP).
The Winter Crisis program
is designed to assist households,
who find themselves in an emergency situation to get service reconnected, avoid a disconnection,
or receive bulk fuel (propane, fuel
oil, etc.) in order to provide heat
to their home. The Winter Crisis
Program is available from Nov. 1,
2015 through March 31, 2016.
Any household that is at or
erty guideline may apply for the

program. Applicants must provide the past 90 day income for all
members of the household, social
security cards, birthdates, electric
bill, gas bill and proof of disability
(if applicable).
HEAP is a federally funded
program designed to help eligible
low-income Ohioans meet the
high costs of home heating. This
program can only be accessed one
time per season and the amount of
the benefit depends on the size of
the household, household income
and what type of fuel is used. In
most cases, the one-time benefit
will be a credit applied directly to
Income eligible household must

be at or below 175% of the Federal
Poverty guideline. No emergency
need is required for this program.
To learn more or to apply for
these programs, families may
contact NOCAC to schedule an
appointment. In Paulding County,
phone 419-399-3650 and ask for
NOCAC.

Henry County 419-599-2481
Van Wert County 419-2384544
Williams County 419-6364924
according to the Child Welfare

Information Gateway, a U.S. government-funded adoption information service.
Given these numbers, you
might think youll have a tough
time paying for an adoption. However, you can get some financial
help in the form of tax benefits,
which include both a tax credit for
qualified adoption expenses and
an exclusion (from your taxable
income) of employer-provided
adoption assistance.
In 2015, the maximum tax benefit you can claim is $13,400;
this amount is reduced if your
modified adjusted gross income
(MAGI) exceeds $201,010 and
is completely phased out if your
MAGI is $241,010 or more. The
adoption tax credit is nonrefundable, which means its limited to
your tax liability for the year.
Heres an example of how you
might use the tax benefits. Suppose you pay $13,400 in qualified adoption expenses in 2015
and your employer reimburses
you for $3,400 of those expenses.
Assuming you meet the MAGI
guidelines, you can exclude
$3,400 from your gross income
for 2015 and can claim $10,000
($13,400 minus $3,400) for the
adoption tax credit. (Tax credits
reduce your income tax liability
on a dollar-for-dollar basis.)
Of course, while these tax
benefits can reduce your overall
cost of adoption, you still have to
come up with the money which,
as weve seen, can amount to
many thousands of dollars in
the first place. How will you do
it?
Your first step is to plan ahead
as far ahead as possible. Since the
adoption process can often take a
year or more, you will generally
have some time to prepare. When

you find the adoption agency that

best meets your needs, get an estimate of the total costs involved.
Once youve got this figure, you
can determine how youll meet
these costs.
You might be tempted to take
out a loan from your 401(k), but
you should try to avoid this move
a 401(k) loan will likely reduce
the growth potential of this account, which is designed for retirement. You might also consider
a loan from a bank but debt is
debt, even if its for the purpose
of expanding your family, and its
always a good idea to keep ones
debt level down.
If you knew you wouldnt need
the money for, say, two years,
you could consider putting away
a certain amount each month in a
special adoption fund in an investment thats highly liquid and
offers significant preservation of
principal. If the circumstances of
your life allow you to plan even
farther ahead, such as three to
five years, you can find a savings
or investment vehicle that may
be appropriate for providing the
money just when you need it.
Adopting a child will change
your life. Planning ahead, and
carefully considering your options for paying for the adoption,
can help you reach this major
milestone in a manner that makes
financial sense now and in the
future.

Award-winning Christian author Lynn Austin captives an audience at the main historic Carnegie
library in Paulding.
Author shares writing insight
PAULDING Award-winning Christian author Lynn

Austin spokeFriday evening
at the main Carnegie library
in Paulding.
Austin read from her book,
Wonderland Creek, and explained to the audience her
method of writing.
She shared that as an author
she first starts with an inspiration or idea. Then, she researches the idea. In the case
of Wonderland Creek, she
researched the pack horse librarians in rural Kentucky of
the 1930s.
Austin then creates a character and describes the world
of the character. Conflict is
introduced by disrupting the
world of the main character.
Some authors, she shares, develop the plot of their stories
by planning the entire plot
from beginning to end. Others fly by the seat of their

A salute to bats
By Staci Miller
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
Last week, Oct. 25-31, was Bat Week, an
annual, international celebration of the role of
bats in nature.
Bat Week was organized by a team of
representatives from Bat Conservation International, Organization for Bat Conservation, U.S. Forest Service, and U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service. Bat Week was organized to
educate and inform the public about the vital
role bats play in our society and that bats are
friends of nature, not enemies.
Worldwide, there are more than 1,300 species of bats, thats almost 20 percent of all
mammal species. Bats can live almost everywhere on earth except for the most extreme
desert and polar regions.
Ohio has recorded 13 different species of
bats that live throughout the state with the little
brown bat being the most common species.
Bats come in all shapes and sizes, from the
tiny bumblebee bat that weighs less than a
penny, to the big, beautiful flying foxes that
can have a wing span of up to six feet.
They can be white, brown, black, gray or
red in color or even spotted or striped. Some
bats have big eyes and long slender snouts that
help them reach deep into flowers for nectar.
Other bats have small eyes and large ears to
help them echolocate or use biological sonar
to navigate and find insect prey.
It is often said that some are blind as a bat,
but bats actually have good eyesight, similar
to humans, and some species of bats use their
eyes to find food.
But, for bats that eat insects, eyesight isnt
their main means of navigating or locating
prey. How do bats catch quick-moving, flying

insects in the dark? They use echolocation,
which is emitting very high-pitched sounds
(higher than human hearing range) that bounce
off obstacles in their path, like buildings, trees
and their main target, insects for food. They
use those reflected sounds to identify what an
object is, how big it is, and what direction it is
moving.
Most bats in North America eat insects, including moths, beetles, aquatic insects, mosquitoes and flies. A single bat can eat up to its
body weight in insects each night. Eating all
these insects helps protect our food crops from
insect pests, saving farmers billions of dollars
each year.
The bats help to provide natural insect protection, but the bat populations are declining
quickly as they lose their natural habitats.
Bats do serve a very important purpose in
our environment and there are ways we can
help preserve the populations.
Instead of the bats living in barns and vacant
buildings, a bat house can provide a natural
habitat that is safe for them as well as humans.
Those interested in a building a bat house may
visit this website for the building plans for a
triple chamber bat house that can house up
to 300 bats: http://batweek.org/files/Single_
chamber_bat_house_instructions.pdf
Bats are truly fascinating creatures that can
help maintain the health of our environment.

PAULDING Paulding Village Council discussed infrastructure updates during
its regular meeting Monday, Nov. 2.
Williams Street (U.S. 127) reopened
Friday afternoon, Oct. 30, though it is a
little rough and citizens are advised to
drive carefully.
The street had been closed since midApril as part of the villages ongoing
combined sewer separation project. Portions of some side streets are now closed
as the project moves to other areas.
Emerald Road is currently being repaired and should be open soon. The paving projects on Gasser Road and North
Walnut Street are complete, though there
are problems with water pooling in certain spots. Residents will be visited soon
about this issue.
The cemetery board is asking the public
to please not use the Live Oak Cemetery
driveways to get to the brush pile behind

the cemetery, and instead use the entrance
to the north off Tom-Tim Drive. Signs
will be posted soon.
Sue Crossland, EMS services coordinator, introduced the new EMT roster
currently taking classes. She is seeking a
possibility of a new building, especially
if they go to full service, as they are out
of room. A safety committee meeting is
scheduled at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 9 to discuss
this further,

Because toads need water for mating, they often make their way to the pool, most especially in Paulding County Dog Warden Jared Renollet expresses appreciation to Delmar Schwab of
the hours after a good rain. This Eastern American toad peeks out of a vent in the pool skimmer. Friends of the Paulding County Dog Kennel for its support in helping underwrite a new method of
capturing stressed animals.
Toads: A gardens best friend Dog warden trained in new

Several times this summer,
after a warm overnight rain, we
noticed an abundance of frogs
and toads (mostly toads) in the
pool and the pool skimmer. An
average amphibian count would
be 15-20 per episode. We dont
normally get them in the pool,
only when it rains like that.
Our neighbors have a small
pond and I assume the frogs venture over from there. But weve
always had lots of toads in the
yard and gardens. In the fall, we
have to be careful when digging
because the toads burrow down
in the soil to hibernate for the
winter. I learned the need for
caution the hard way one year.
Frogs, toads and salamanders
need wetlands for various parts
of their life cycle. The females
lay eggs in a gelatinous mass in
the water and then the male fertilizes them. Most mating is done
following a rainstorm, which
would probably explain the high
number of them in our pool, because we almost never find them
there at other times.
The eggs develop and hatch
in the water and when the frogs
and toads are old enough, theyll
venture out onto dry land. Frogs
spend most of their lives in the
water, but toads will live most of
their adult lives on land, returning to the water to mate.
Since frogs and toads have
relatively thin skin, they absorb
things through it much easier than some species. For this
reason, they are affected much
sooner by pollutants such as
herbicides and pesticides and
are considered to be an indicator species. They are sensitive to
many of the same things humans
are, so when aberrations occur,
such as deformities or a decline
in the normal population in an
In the
Garden
By
Kylee Baumle
area, its a reason to investigate.
Ohio has 15 species of frogs
and toads, with about half of
those reported as being present
in Paulding County, but we generally only see leopard frogs and
Eastern American toads here at
Our Little Acre. Were always
delighted to see them hopping
about the yard or in the two small
garden ponds at the back of the
property.
Though cats and dogs can
be one of their predators, many
times one taste of a toad is
enough to deter them from both-
ering them a second time. Toads

secrete a toxin through their skin
that can also be harmful to those
who try to eat them. Our cats are
good at detecting the well-camouflaged toads but dont really
bother them.
Frogs and toads are beneficial
to us because they dine on slugs,
mosquitoes and flies. They can
consume up to 10,000 insects
throughout the course of a summer, so the more the merrier!
This is a positive for both us and
the vegetables and flowers we
grow.
If you want to attract more
frogs and toads to your property,
consider creating a habitat that is
inviting. Since they need water
to mate, a water feature such as
a small garden pond (one of ours
is only three feet in diameter and
about a foot deep) could be all
youd need. Remember to limit
your use of pesticides, herbicides, and synthetic fertilizers.

way of capturing animals

By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
PAULDING Thanks to major
financial assistance from the Friends
of the Paulding County Dog Kennel, county dog warden Jared Renollet has been trained in an up-to-date,
often more effective way of capturing animals in distress.
Known as chemical immobilization of animals, the procedure
involves the use of anesthesia
to put the animals to sleep temporarily. Then, the animals can
be moved to a safer location for
themselves and the public or to a
place where they can receive treatment if needed.
I had very good training, said
Renollet. The instructor is registered in veterinary medicine and
has been around for a long time.
Renollet said that the parent
organization, Safe Capture International, teaches how to safely chemically capture different
animals. He noted that the basic
premise remains the same through
all species.
This is not an everyday application. It is not going to replace

the catch pole and leash design,
observed Renollet. It is designed
to be used when all else fails. It is
something to be used when the dog
wont respond to anything else.
This can be effective in situations with injured animals, continued Renollet. Sometimes dogs
get skittish and dont want people
to get close to them in dangerous
situations. It is something that can
be used to immobilize dogs that
are a rabies suspect.
Before enrolling in the school,
which was held at the Ohio Division of Wildlife, Division One
office, Renollet gained the full
support of Paulding County Sheriff Jason Landers and other key
county leaders connected with the
matter.
Renollet said that the effectiveness of the procedure depends on
such matters as the animals circumstances, its weight, stress and
other things affecting the animals
demeanor at the time.
We think that its a good idea,

observed Delmar Schwab, representing the Friends of the Paulding County Dog Kennel. If Jared
cant catch the animals, we cant
save them. If the animal is irate or
injured, we cant get it. Many animals can be evaluated and saved if
they can be captured.
Roy Klopfenstein, representing
the Paulding County commissioners, said that if everyone can
cooperate in supporting the effort,
more animals might be saved.
This is a major investment
but its worth it, said Schwab. It
makes our county look good by
staying ahead of the game.
None of this would be possible if it werent for the Friends of
the Dog Kennel, said Klopfenstein. Their support to Jared and
his office is priceless. We are so
thankful for their president, Lynn
Mansfield and all that they do.
Their support and giving is making a big difference to the safety
of the public and the well-being
of the animals.

103 and still teaching

By JOE SHOUSE
Progress Staff Writer
PAULDING As a writer for the Paulding Progress,
I spend a majority of my time
watching young people play
sports and report on their accomplishments. Its satisfying
to see one of our county athletes
win a race, score the winning
basket or break through the opposing offensive line for a solo
tackle. Then, to be able to write
about it in order for the reader to
experience in print what I experienced in person is often challenging but worth all the effort
and time.
So, what I want to share is a
story, not about a young person
or about sports but just the opposite. Oh, the person I want
to tell you about really likes
sports. In fact she has a large
screen television probably 70
inches, at least it allows her to
watch the Buckeyes, her favorite team. Like many Buckeye
fans, she was on the edge of
her couch a few Saturdays ago
when OSU was in a dog fight
with Indiana.
If you noticed, I mentioned
this person as a she. Thats right,
a woman who likes to watch
football and basketball and will
even enjoy some golf on her
big screen, but at the same time
admits that tuning in to watch a
baseball game or understanding
much about soccer just isnt her
cup of tea.
Now that I have written a
couple of paragraphs about
sports and have it out of my
system, allow me to share some
interesting facts about this person. The most incredible one is
her age shes 103 and having
the privilege to interview her
was a wonderful experience,
much like interviewing one of
our young student athletes who
just won an important game.
Her name, Virginia Zielke,
she lives independently with
her cat Mittens, who she claims
is a little pest but also keeps her
company. Born in Columbus
where she met her husbandto-be, Albert, who had Paulding County roots, her face still
lights up when talking about
her connection to Ohio State,
her career and most of all her
family.
Virginia and Albert were
married in 1926 and she attend-
ed OSU during the Depression

while Albert worked for the Soil
Conservation Service. It was
during the Depression when
Virginia was forced to drop out
and put her college education
on hold.
Finally, in the mid 1940s,
she found her way back to the
OSU campus where she eventually graduated, did her student teaching, and managed to
secure her first teaching assignment in 1955.
After teaching for a brief time
in Columbus, it was Albert who
felt the desire to return home to
Paulding County to farm with
his father, Fred Zielke. The
move was made and farming
became a lifestyle in the Zielke
home, but Virginia continued
to teach, with stops at Lincolnview and Paulding.
I started teaching at the elementary level when I was older
than many teachers starting out.
I only taught 20 years, starting in 1955 and retired from
Paulding in 1975. When I think
about it, Ive been retired for 40
years, she said with a grin.
With the two enjoying 58
years of marriage, Albert passed
away in 1984. And although
Virginia remembers clearly her
teaching days, living on the
farm, and all the joy associated with raising a family, it was
watching her children grow up
and being a part of their life
that still makes her perk up and
smile.
Of her four children, all are
still living with the exception
of daughter Nancy, who was a
teacher in Arizona. The other
three live in different parts of
the United States.
All my children graduated
from Ohio State and did very
well with their careers, said
Virginia.
The oldest at age 80, Dick
Zielke graduated from both
OSU and Michigan State. He
received his PHD degree in
agronomy and currently lives in
Frankenmuth, Mich.
Second son David Zielke,
who is 75, was an aeronautical engineer prior to retirement
from Lockheed and lives in Fort
Worth, Texas.
Karen is 73 and lives in Chicago and, according to Virginia,
has several health issues that
have plagued her over the years.
She really has a bad time of

it today. She has what is called
cerebella ataxia that affects the
muscles. She was an X-ray
technician at OSU hospital in
her earlier years, said Virginia.
Prior to her death, Nancy was
a teacher in Arizona. Teaching
has been an important career
choice in the Zielke family.
There are five generations
of teachers in our family. My
grandmother and mother were
teachers and my daughter Nancy taught in Arizona and now
I have a grandson, Jay, who is
also teaching in Arizona, said
Virginia.
If Virginia had the opportunity to give advice to young
teachers just starting out, it
would be simple advice and yet
it would be advice that would
keep an educator focused.
For Virginia it was that simple and yet deserving love for
children that was her driving
force to become a teacher.
I would tell them to love
what youre doing and do the
best that you can every day.
In talking about her children,
Virginia didnt hold back. She
admitted that having them at
home and watching them grow
up was the best times in her life.
I love my children. They are
all great and all had wonderful
careers, I have 10 grandchildren
and 13 great-grandchildren and
I am proud of them all, she
said.
No longer able to spend her
winters in Arizona, Virginia enjoys her days in Paulding County and makes the most it thanks
to the senior center, the Bookmobile and her neighbors.
I enjoy every day. For breakfast I start off with a cup of cappuccino. I really like that while
I listen to the news. Reading
one of the audio books that I get
from the Bookmobile is always
a part of my day, said Virginia.
The Bookmobile make sstops
across the county and one of the
stops is near Zielkes condo
where she and other neighbors
take advantage of the library
service. On Wednesday, its off
to the grocery store to shop and
pick up a few items needed at
home, even though she doesnt
do a lot of cooking these days.
When recalling some of her
favorite food she pointed out
that pizza wasnt around when

check out audio books to listen to and enjoy.
she was kid and her favorite
food was and still is potato salad
and sweets of all kinds.
The senior center van picks
us up on Wednesday and that is
always helpful. I was still driving until I was 95, but I knew
then it was time to give it up.
So, now I can still get out on
Wednesday and talk to other
people while enjoying being
outside for a while, she said.
Looking back on the last 100
years or so, Virginia certainly
recalls some of the extremes
and there is not much she would
do differently.
Life has been so good and I
wouldnt change much about it.
We didnt have radio until I was
a teenager and television came
in the 1950s. I remember going

to college and tuition was $25

each quarter. I lived through
two world wars and we didnt
have cars until I was 8 or 10
years old.
Virginia says she has no idea
why she has been so blessed to
live all these years. Her sister
Dorothy lived to be 99 and yet
their parents died of heart problems when they were in their
mid 50s.
There is no secret formula
for the long life. Today, I take a
vitamin and a pill for high blood
pressure and a thyroid pill and
thats about it. When I went to
my current doctor for the first
time I was 100 and the doctor
said I certainly didnt look 100.
And I responded, saying, Yeah,
I dont look a day over 99.

After an interview I always

learn something about the other
person. A young person, an athlete or someone 103, there is always something to learn. Today,
I learned that Virginia Zielke, a
soft spoken wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and
teacher, didnt allow the Depression of the 1930s stop her
dream.
And although she has been
out of the classroom for 40
years, her classroom today is
much larger. And for a couple of
hours I was her student and she
taught me so much. She taught
me, whatever your dream or
goal, dont allow a roadblock
to hold you back from reaching
that goal. Not bad advice coming from someone who is 103.

Archers close out successful

season with district loss
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
DEFIANCE The atmosphere was electric at the Defiance Dawg Pound last Tuesday as the Division IV Northwest District
volleyball tournament featured four quality
programs. The undefeated Ayersville Pilots
managed to handle Hicksville in the first
match-up and in the night cap it was Pettisville and Antwerp squaring off. The Blackbirds prevailed over the Lady Archers, ending a very successful season for Antwerp.
Pettisville delivered the knock out punch
winning the last two sets after both teams
split the first two. Pettisville outlasted the
blue-and-white 25-19, 15-25, 25-21, 25-18.
It was a disappointing loss for the Archers,
who finished an outstanding season at 18-6.
Head coach Amy Hammer will see six
seniors graduate a group that gave a 100
percent in their battle with Pettisville.
Seniors who finished their career wearing
the Antwerp blue and white were Audrie Longardner, Sidney Barnhouse, Beth Hawley, Avery Braaten, Emily Derck and Kiana Recker.
This one really hurts. I cant fault the
girls. They are a great group and the seniors
are special. They left it all out on the court,
said a disappointed Coach Hammer as she
stood outside the locker room.

In the opening match, both teams played
back-and-forth volleyball with no more than
a three-point lead for either team. However, with the score knotted at 17 apiece, the
Blackbirds took control with the powerful
serving of junior Teagan Kauffman, who led
the Birds to a 22-17 advantage before Rachel Williamson stopped the scoring barrage
with a kill. It was enough as Pettisville continued to power their way to a 25-19 first set
win.
The Archers bounced back in the second
set and took control early and held an 18-12
margin when Kiana Recker delivered a kill
and Peyton Short added one of her patent tip
plays for a 20-13 lead before settling for a
10-point win to even the match at one game
apiece.
It looked as if the Archers had shook off
the early game jitters in game three when
they jumped out to a 12-6 lead and looked
to be in the drivers seat. Unfortunately for
the Archers, the Blackbirds whittled away at
their deficit and evened the score at 15-15.
Following an Antwerp timeout, the Archers
responded to take a 19-16 lead. With the
scoring advantage, the Archers would face
Kauffman again and she came through for
Pettisville and turned a three-point deficit

into a two-point lead at 21-19 for the Birds.
I thought we had it going our way after
winning the second match and then taking
a 12-6 lead in the third. But we gave up too
many points when our serving fell short. We
missed four or five serves in a row and the
momentum shifted back to them (Pettisville), said Hammer.
Needing a win to stay alive, the Archers
fell behind 4-0 in the fourth set and never
recovered. The Archers closed the gap to a
couple of points at 15-13 but would get no
closer.
Final stats for the Lady Archers had several seniors contributing in their final contest.
Avery Braaten collected 25 digs and was 3-3
serving; Sidney Barnhouse added three digs
and 8-9 serving; Beth Hawley collected two
digs, 3-3 serving; Audrie Longardner nine
digs, 9-9 serving; Kiana Recker nine kills,
one ace, 14 digs and two blocks; Emily Derck five kills, one block, 20 assists.
Junior Peyton Short 12 assists, 10 digs,
two aces, two kills, one block; junior Sydney Sheedy two kills, 4-4 serving, and
sophomore Rachel Williamson 16 kills,
four blocks, sophomore Hope Smith one Kiana Recker #15 receives serve from Pettisville last Tuesday

Raiders fall in season finale

By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
LIMA Lima Central Catholic scored 28
unanswered points to start the game and the
Thunderbirds went on to post a 45-14 win
over Wayne Trace in the high school football
season finale for both schools Friday night at
Spartan Stadium in Lima.
The T-Birds scored 14 points in the opening
stanza before adding 14 more in the second
quarter to grab a commanding 28-0 lead.
Ethan OConnor started the scoring for
LCC, capping a three-play drive on the games
opening possession to make it 7-0 Thunderbirds just 45 seconds into the contest.
Lima Central Catholic took advantage of a
Raider turnover to widen the lead.
Following an interception by the Thunderbirds Paul Holbrook of a pass from Raider
quarterback Trae Sinn, LCC needed only one
play to find the end zone.
OConnor hooked up with Thomas Williams on a 33-yard touchdown toss that made
it 14-0 Thunderbirds.
LCCs Dru Edwards set up the next T-Bird
possession with an interception that put the
hosts at their own 27-yard line.
OConnor connected with Nick Taflinger on
a 73-yard scoring strike on the first play of the
possession to widen the margin to 21-0.
LCC made it 28-0 when OConnor found
Holbrook on a 65-yard pass at the 6:46 mark
of the second quarter.
Wayne Trace did make things interesting
before the halftime break, though.
The Raiders responded with a six-play, 68yard scoring drive to get on the board.
Sinn connected with Luke Miller and Noah
Stoller on consecutive plays for 31 and 30
yards, respectively, to put Wayne Trace at the
LCC ten-yard line.
Two plays later, Trae Sinn tossed an eightyard pass to Eli Sinn that pulled Wayne Trace
within 28-6. Stoller was on the receiving end
of the two-point conversion pass from Trae
Sinn to cut the Raider deficit to 28-8.
The Lady Archers Hope Smith #13 sets up for a swing at a kill
against Pettisville last Tuesday night.
Wayne Trace struck again with 48 seconds

left in the half as Trae Sinn scampered into the
end zone on a six-yard touchdown run to pull
the Raiders within 28-14 at the break.
However, LCC took control in the second
half.
The T-Birds got a 37-yard field goal from
Taflinger, who also was a perfect six of six on
extra-point kicks, to extend the lead to 31-14.
OConnor then hooked up with Taflinger on a
10-yard touchdown pass with 1:38 left in the
third quarter to make it 38-14.
Lima Central Catholic concluded the scoring at the 10:45 mark when Logan Schultz
plunged three yards for a score.
OConnor finished the night 17 of 29 passing for 390 yards as the Thunderbirds ended
the evening with 506 yards of total offense.
Wayne Trace also put up good numbers, totaling 360 yards of offense.
The Raiders were led by freshman quarterback Trae Sinn, who made the first start of his
career. Sinn put up very respectable numbers,
throwing for 278 yards while completing 19
of 43 passes.
Sophomore Eli Sinn also had a solid game
for the Raiders, catching nine passes for 81
yards. Senior Luke Miller picked up four receptions for 65 yards while senior Cole Shepherd added three catches for 75 yards. Stoller
posted 58 rushing yards on ten carries and
Trae Sinn added 18 yards on 14 tries.
The Raiders did have more first downs in
the contest, 20-18.
Wayne Trace finishes the season with a record of 4-6 as 11 Raiders wrapped up their
football careers. Those playing in their last
high school game included Noah Stoller, Luke
Miller, Cole Shepherd, Austin Winebrenner,
Jake Baksa, Scott Wenninger, Corey Davis,
Clint Sinn, Connor Arend, Justin Speice and
Austin Kuhn.
I want to thank the seniors for their hard
work this year, commented Raider coach
Mike Speice. They put in a lot of time and
effort for the program. I appreciate all of their
hard work this season.
Knights top Paulding

with huge second half
By JIM COX
DHI Media Correspondent
CONVOY For the first 30
minutes of Friday nights Paulding-Crestview game, it looked
like the Panthers could be on their
way to their first win of the season. After that, though, it was all
Crestview, and the Knights rolled
to a 42-20 win to end the regular
season at 4-6 overall and 2-5 in the
Northwest Conference. Paulding
ends up at 0-10 and 0-7.
Crestviews chances of advancing to the playoffs were looking
good after the win, but nothing
was certain at that point.
Freshman quarterback Drew
Kline got his first start for the
Knights, and he certainly made
the most of it. With 8:00 left in the
first quarter during Crestviews
first possession, Kline hit running
back Jordan Miller for a 17-yard
score, then threw a jump ball into
the end zone to Grant Schlagbaum
for the two-pointer for an early
8-0 Knights lead.
Paulding, however, answered
two possessions later, with a 64yard drive in eight plays, Zach Buchman taking it in from the 2-yard
line. The run for the PAT failed,
leaving the score at 8-6 with 10:39
left in the second period.
The Knights then mounted a
major threat but ran out of downs
at the Paulding 35, and the Panthers were in the end zone 11 plays
later on a 5-yard run by Branson
Minck. Quarterback Corbin Edwards ran for the PAT, and Paulding led 14-8 at 0:30, which is
where it was at halftime.
Kline had his only hiccup

midway through the third quarter
when he threw a screen pass into
the hands of Pauldings Cameron
Doster who then ran 38 untouched
yards into the end zone. The PAT
kick was blocked, but the Panthers had a 20-8 lead at 6:42. The
Knights would, however, score 34
unanswered points in the remaining 17 minutes and 18 seconds.
We responded very well in the
second half, said Knight coach
Jared Owens. I thought we got
back to playing more physical
football, which is the difference
in most football games. It was a
coming of age moment for our
young quarterback (Kline). He
had an opportunity to feel sorry
for himself. I said forget about it,
and he went out and made plays.
Kline quickly atoned for the
interception with a 55-yard TD
run and a run for the two-pointer to get Crestview within 20-16
with 5:53 left in the third. After
a Knight interception by Payton
Knittle, Kline had a 20-yard TD
run and a PAT pass to Knittle to
get the lead back at 24-20 with
3:15 left in the third.
Klines 9-yard TD run with
10:42 left in the fourth quarter,
followed by a failed PAT run,
upped the margin to 30-20, and
the speedy freshman ended any
doubt with a 10-yard score at the
4:50 mark 36-20. After a Derek
Biro interception, Luke Gerardot
finished the scoring with a 16yard run.
The seniors fought their butts
off all year, said Paulding coach
Tyler Arend of Edwards, Nathan

Gee, Buchman, Minck and Jarrett
Sitton. Theyre a great group of
seniors. I wish I had more of em.
I challenged the team after the first
game against Wayne Trace to be
their best at the end of the season.
I felt like we finished the season at
our best, and were excited about
what we have coming back.
Crestview ended up with 42
rushes for 325 yards, 225 of those
yards coming in the second half.
Kline hit on 8 of 16 passes for 106
yards, one TD, and one interception.
Paulding had 107 rushing
yards on 34 tries. Edwards was
good on 4 of 12 passes for 82
yards with three interceptions.
Scoring summary:
1st quarter - 8:00 - Crestview: Miller, 17-yard pass from Kline. PAT
- Schlagbaum, pass from Kline. 8-0.
2nd quarter - 10:39 - Paulding: Buchman, 2-yard run. PAT - run failed. 8-6.

Varner voted as
Player of the Year
PAULDING After leading Paulding to a Northwest
Conference championship,
senior Jaycie Varner has
been voted the Paulding
County Progress/Welch Trophy Player of the Year by the
county coaches last week.
Varner led the Panthers
with 240 kills on the season
while adding 229 digs and 71
aces as Paulding finished its
season with a record of 17-6
overall and 7-1 in the Northwest Conference, tying with
Ada for the league title.
According to head coach
Josh Early, Varner took the
initiative to improve entering
her senior season.
Jaycie put in a lot of time
in the gym this year and
worked very hard on improving her game from last year,
Early stated. She wanted to
have a better year and she
went out and made herself a
better player.
Early also felt Varner was
one of the key leaders for the
NWC champion Panthers.
She was a tremendous
leader for us, added the
Panther mentor. Jaycie did
a great job leading us whether it was on or off the court.
She took it upon herself to
improve and she worked to
make her teammates better
as well.
A three-year letter winner

at Paulding, Varner posted 55
blocks and garnered NWC
First Team honors this year
as well.
She always came through
for us in key moments, concluded Early. Whether it
was an ace, a kill or a dig,
she was able to step up and
make a big play at key points
in games. Her hustle was relentless and she kept so many
balls in play by just giving it
everything she had. Her effort was second to none.
Panther teammate Kelsey
Beck garnered First Team
honors as did the Antwerp
duo of Rachel Williamson
and Kiana Recker. Wayne
Traces Erin Mohr and Danae Myers picked up First
Team awards as well.
Kelsey Beck wrapped up
the year with 165 kills and
225 digs on the season while
also recording 46 aces. Beck
also received First Team
NWC honors.
Rachel
Williamson
topped Antwerp with 301
kills on the season and added 35 aces for the blue-andwhite. As a sophomore, Williamson chipped in 50 blocks
and 76 digs as well for Antwerp, which closed the year
with a record of 18-6 in all
games and 5-2 in the Green
Meadows Conference.
Senior Kiana Recker ended the year with 181 kills and
32 aces for Antwerp while
also posting 213 digs.
Erin Mohr topped Wayne

Reduce breast cancer risk

through healthier eating
The risk of breast cancer in women is

increased by several factors that cannot be
easily changed, such as early menstruation
(before age 12), delaying having children,
entering menopause at a later age or having a family history of the disease. But
there are steps everyone can take to reduce
personal breast cancer risk, according to
the American Cancer Society.
Studies have shown that moderate to
vigorous physical activity is linked with
lower breast cancer risk. A diet that is rich
in vegetables, fruit, poultry, fish and lowfat dairy products also has been linked
to reducing your chance to be diagnosed
with breast cancer.
At this time, the best advice about diet
and activity to possibly reduce the risk of
breast cancer is to:
Get regular, intentional physical activity.
Reduce excessive lifetime weight
gain by limiting your calories and getting
regular physical activity.
Avoid or limit your alcohol intake.
To improve your diet and help manage
your weight, Colleen Doyle, M.S., R.D.,
director of nutrition and physical activity
for the American Cancer Society, suggests:
Watching your portion sizes, particularly of foods and beverages high in
calories and/or sugar

Using a salad plate instead of your
dinner plate to help control your portions
Cutting back on sugar-sweetened
beverages, the largest single source of
added sugar in the diet
Including colorful vegetables and/or
fruits in each meal and snack
Eating more whole grains whole
wheat bread, brown rice, oatmeal instead of refined grains like white bread
and pasta.
Choosing fish, poultry and beans in
place of red and processed meats
Why are these recommendations so
important? Because right now, 63% of
adults in this country are overweight, including 27% who are obese; 17% of children and adolescents are obese; and our
poor diets (and physically inactive lifestyles) contribute to four out of the seven
leading causes of death in this country,
including cancer.
As a matter of fact, Doyle said, if you
dont smoke, watching your weight, eating well and being active are the most
important things you can do to reduce
your risk of cancer. And eating more vegetables, fruits and whole grains, and less
sugar, red and processed meats is a huge
step in the right direction.
According to Doyle, a great way to
incorporate more fruits into your day is

making this easy smoothie recipe. Not
only is it delicious and fast to throw together, you can use your favorite fruits
whatever you have on hand.
Raspberry Peach Smoothie
1 cup frozen raspberries
1 cup frozen peaches
6 oz. plain yogurt
2-3 T juice
Blend all together and serve!
