A big snow event is much
more than snow removal for
local street workers said
Paulding street supervisor
Jerry Smith and village ad-
ministrator Harry Wiebe re-
garding the recent mega storm
which dumped between 10
and 12 inches on the commu-
nity and surrounding county.
We have to deal with water
main breaks, service lines and
other stuff besides snow re-
moval, said Smith. There
are calls coming into the utili-
ty office concerning water
shutoffs, water leaks and
sewer problems.
Unlike some larger com-
munities that have a dedicated
staff, this is a small communi-
ty with a larger spectrum of
responsibility. I do not enjoy
snowstorms, said Smith.
Wiebe said that one of the
concerns city officials shared
going into last weekends
massive snowstorm was exist-
ing piles of snow still in exis-
tence from several inches of
snow that had fallen the previ-
ous week.
We were wondering how
this predicted big storm was
going to add to what was al-
ready there, said Wiebe.
Although most plowing and
snow removal was taken care
of by local plowers, Kauser
Trucking assisted in removing
larger piles that needed to be
hauled out of the village.
One of their truck drivers
told me that they hauled out
100 loads, said Smith.
There was a lot of snow.
The village crew did an
excellent job in maintaining
road access, Wiebe said.
Smith noted that local offi-
cials used 30 tons of salt and

The recent snowstorm that swept
through Paulding County last week
left county officials with 444.75 less
tons of grit and lots of manpower
hours exhausted into the extensive
plowing and clearing demanded by
the event.
Aaron Timm, superintendent of the
Paulding County Engineers Office,
said that workers combined 600 to 700
tons of salt with number nine stone to
arrive at the formula normally used for
county roads.
Right now, we have a three-year
supply of salt on hand, at least for
what we would normally expect, said
Timm.
According to Timm, local docu-
mentation for the long-term address-
ing of the recent snow event actually
began on Jan. 2, when local officials
asked for a full callout to address
winds and light snow all day. On Jan.
3, most roads were cleaned up from
the light snow that had fallen on that
day.
Saturday, Jan. 4, local officials de-
cided not to run, but rather prepare for
the predicted large event that was pre-
dicted to strike the area on Sunday.
Although the snow started a little
later than anticipated, things started to
pick up by noon on Sunday. At 1 p.m.,
a 12-truck team began to role in an at-
tempt to stay ahead of the increasing
snowstorm. Timm said that with 322
combined miles to cover, each route
averaged 27 miles per route. Plows
were eventually pulled at 8 p.m. on
Sunday evening.
On Monday, in spite of the moder-
ate drifting going on, workers re-
sponded to a full callout at 3 a.m. and
came off the roads at 5 p.m.
Tuesday, we told the drivers to
start at 7 a.m., said Timm. Tuesday
was a 12-hour day; the last truck came
in at 8 p.m.
Once again on Wednesday, there
was a full callout at 3 a.m. Once roads
were in better condition, machinery
was redirected to push snow back.
Timm said that last week was
rounded out by running eight trucks to
grit roads and especially intersections
on Thursday and four trucks to do
touch up on Friday.
Obviously when things start out
this way, we have to keep a close
watch to see what will happen, even if
it is only watching for patchy ice or
scattered snow on the roads, ob-
served Timm. We are grateful for the
cooperation of the public in staying in

Part 5 of a series originally published Aug. 30,
2000
Sheryl Eagleson Schooley, the younger sister
of slain teen Nancy Eagleson, is a wonderful
grown-up who still has memories of her older
sister. Sheryl was only 5 years old at the time of
her sisters murder, but her memories will be
etched in her mind forever.
The night of Nov. 13, 1960, is a night she will
never forget. We had went to the movies.
Nancy always held my hand when we walked
places. This night was no different. We left
Johnsons Restaurant [on the square], and
walked past Peloks building [at the corner of
East Jackson Street and Flat Rock Drive].
Yes, we went up to Peloks window and
peeked in. I dont know why we did, but now I
think Nancy may have been stalling and thought
then that we were possibly being followed.

ABILENE, Kan. ALCO Stores Inc. has an-

Paulding.
In making the announcement, Ricardo
Clemente, sr. vice president for store operations,
said, The decision to close the store in Paulding
was a difficult one. We have valued the opportu-
nity to be a part of this community, but unfortu-
nately the stores performance does not meet our
financial requirements. The economy has clear-
ly had an impact on store sales, and weve made
the very difficult decision to close.

PAULDING Several

partments banquet dinner on
Friday, Jan. 3.
Awards were given to vari-
ous officers-of-the-year, also
for safe driving and lifesaving
actions, plus one promotion
was recognized.
All 23 full-time members
of the department voted on
who they felt should be cor-
rections officer-of-the-year,
communications officer-of-
the-year, reserve deputy-of-

and employee-of-the-year.
Awards were presented to

employee and Chris
Robinson in the reserve
posse.
Buckeye State Sheriffs
Association uniform ribbons
were available for Haller and

Plaques for each category
have been hung in the sher-
iffs office hallway. Tabs with
annual recipients names and
date will be added each year.
Tyler Stork was promoted
to lieutenant and beginning
Jan. 6 is the third shift super-
visor. He has been with the
department since 2007.
Deputies Nick Mendez and
William Lyons each received
a first-time lifesaving award
for action they took June 13
following a semi/motorcycle
crash on Ohio 613.
Action they took that day
allowed this individual to sur-
vive, said Paulding County
Sheriff Jason Landers.
Eight personnel members
were honored for their safe
driving, on and off duty. To
qualify, deputies had to have
at least five years of service
with no citable incidents.

Garcia and Dog Warden
Mark Rassman.
time manpower in order to ac-
complish what was needed.
Smith said that there is a pur-
chase order for 200 tons of
salt for an entire winter usage.
About half of that has already
been used, said the supervisor.
Smith thanked those who
stayed at home and were pa-
tient with street crews to ac-
complish their task. However,
Smith said, there were resi-
dents who became impatient
and actually slowed up the en-
tire process with the way in
which they handled their frus-
tration.
When we plow streets, we
dont go out of our way to
plow somebodys driveway
in, said Smith.
Smith said that many resi-
dents who are frustrated be-
cause some snow has been
plowed in front of their drive-
way actually snow blow or
simply push the snow back
out in the streets, forcing vil-
lage crews to re-plow the en-
tire street and cause the cycle
to occur all over again.
People who see us plow-
ing come out and ask us to
plow out their driveway. We
simply cant do that, for many
reasons, said Smith. Some
people get frustrated and yell
things at our workers. When
we have this much snow, we
are simply trying to do the
best job we can. Were trying
to help, not cause problems.
Wiebe emphasized that
there are four regular village
snow plows. He noted that it
takes a good five to six hours
to make successful passes
through all of the streets in
town. Normally, plows at-
tempt to start working uptown
at 2 a.m. in order to get the vil-
lage ready and available for
use.
We appreciate all of the
cooperation we can get, said
Smith. It makes it easier and
more efficient for everyone if
we all work together in coop-
eration during these times.
Our workers are very ded-
icated and did a great job of
doing what they were sup-
posed to do through this
storm, said Wiebe.
and giving us plenty of time
and room to clean things up.
This was a strong snow-
storm, but its not the worst
Ive ever seen around here by
a long run, continued Timm.
This wasnt even a compari-
son to the Blizzard of 78. But
it was one of the strongest
storms weve had in some
time. I want to thank our fel-
lows for the hard work and
spirit of cooperation for all
that they put into this.
On the state level, official
Rhonda Pees from the ODOT
Lima office noted that
Paulding County used 1,069
tons of salt, 12,803 tons of
brine, drove 251,959 storm
miles over 391 lane miles and
cost $290,688 for the period of
Dec. 31, 2013 to Jan. 9, 2014.
Last year, on a districtwide
basis, 5,850 tons of salt were
used over the eight-county
area, compared to 28,228 this
year so far.
In addition, last years total
expenditure was $1,012,000
on removal compared to
$3,638,262 so far this season.
What a difference in a
years time, said Pees. You
just never know what can hap-
pen season to season.

OAKWOOD Oakwood Village
Council met Monday, Jan. 13. Prior
to the meeting, Mayor Erhard Bud
Henke administered the oath of of-
fice to two council members, Jen
Ashbacher and Vicky Long, who
were re-elected in last falls election.
Two council members, Todd
Dangler and Phil Stucky, had not
filed for re-election, so the first order
of business was to determine how to
fill the remaining two vacant seats.
Dangler was in attendance be-
cause he was still willing to serve on
council. Dangler stated that he had
just missed the filing deadline so he
was not on the ballot. Council unan-
imously voted to appoint Dangler to
fill one of the vacant seats.
They will fill the other seat at the
next council meeting.
Mayor Henke and council extend-
ed a big thank-you to the village em-
ployees for their good job of plow-
ing snow and keeping the village
open for EMS and fire equipment.
Village administrator John Keyes
noted that they were able to borrow
a grader from Brown Township and
this helped them immensely with
snow removal.
It was suggested that Keyes obtain
the price of a grader for the village as
it could be used to grade alleys as
well as remove snow.
Keyes told council that the village
had experienced its largest use of
water during the storm due to a cou-
ple of homes having water pipes
break, and many people running
water to prevent lines freezing dur-
ing the extreme cold.
Keyes stated that the highest water
usage was 190,000 gallons on
Friday, Jan. 10.
Mayor Henke commented that
several area villages were unable to
produce water fast enough to meet
demand and some water towers had
dropped dangerously low.
There was a lengthy discussion
concerning village employees med-
ical insurance. Council unanimously
voted to table a motion to make a
choice on the carrier for the medical
insurance.
Council will be working with Fire
Chief Kenny Thomas and EMS co-
ordinator Chad Brown regarding
rates and renewing various contracts
for the Village of Melrose and
Washington and Brown townships.
The decisions and procedure will be
finalized at the next council meeting.
Thomas informed council that
they would be taking down the
Christmas lights soon.
Thomas requested that he be able
to go through each of the assets of
the fire department and authenticate
the value and insured amount with
an insurance representative. Village
Fiscal Officer Susan Barron will set
up the meeting.
Council voted unanimously to
suspend the rules, declared an emer-
gency and unanimously passed
Ordinance 14-02 setting wages for
the fire chief at $4,200 per year,
payable monthly.
Mayor Henke announced that
there would be a representative from
the Central Collection Agency
(CCA) available for taxpayer assis-
tance from 3-7 p.m. Monday, March
17 at the village clerks office to as-
sist taxpayers with preparing their
Oakwood Village income tax return.
For anyone unable to attend, the
CCA representatives will be avail-
able from 1-7 p.m. Monday, March
10 in Paulding.
Bill Sherry announced to council
that there would be free basic tax fil-
ing provided by the Ohio Benefits
Bank this year to area residents.
Anyone whose individual income is
$65,000 or less could qualify for this
free tax filing.
A Benefit Bank counselor can as-
sist with filing 2014 federal, state
and school district taxes. There will
be no fees or charges and e-filing is
available. Free direct deposit of tax
refunds is also available. The loca-
tions for tax preparation and filing in
Paulding County will be the
Paulding Senior Center and the
Middle Creek UMC. To schedule an
appointment, call 419-784-2150 ext.
1100.
The next regular council meeting
is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Jan. 27.

County Jail site. Could it be
missing evidence from the un-
solved Nancy Eagleson mur-
der case, supposedly stored in
the old jail?
A shoe, along with the slain
teens dress, scarf, purse and
her personal belongings, dis-
appeared after her November
1960 death and have not been
found.
Recently, the owners of All
Trades Restoration Company,
Jeff and Cassie Hollis, have
been working on restoring the
old jail, which they purchased
from the county earlier this
year. When speaking with
Hollis about their plans, he re-
vealed some of the things he
had unearthed in the base-
ment.

Next week on New Years
Day we will get together with
sister Emma, Jacob, and fam-
ily and sisters Verena and
Susan and our family and
Timothy and Mose at Jacobs
house. The 21 of us ex-
changed names for a gift ex-
change that day.
On Sunday our church will
have the annual Christmas
potluck so the holidays are
still in full swing for us.
My husband Joe is smok-
ing deer jerky in the smoker
right now. He mixed up 16
pounds of it yesterday. He
also mixed up 25 pounds of
summer sausage from the
venison meat. Mose bought
us the deer. It was the 4th one
he shot this season. We really
appreciated the meat. Joe has
cut up a lot of nice steaks
from the deer. Son Benjamin,
14, was along when the
deers were shot so he was
pretty excited. He said they
saw a lot of deer. Moses fam-
ily live on a big farm so there
are a lot of deer.
Daughter Verena left
around 8 a.m. with some
friends to go to a friends
house in a community about
an hour and a half from here.
They plan to stay until Sun-
day and possibly attend
church in that community. Its
still hard to believe she is old
This is my final column of
2013. This is Friday after
Christmas. We had a very nice
enjoyable Christmas Day. We
made a big breakfast casserole
the night before with the ingre-
dients being scrambled eggs,
shredded potatoes, onions,
green peppers, diced cheese,
bacon, ham, and then topped
with sausage gravy.
On Christmas morning we
put it in the oven to heat while
we opened gifts. Everyone was
very happy and excited for
their gifts. Although it is excit-
ing to open presents at Christ-
mas time, may we always
remember the true meaning of
Christmas: Jesus, our Savior,
was born! After all the gifts
were opened we ate breakfast,
or more like brunch. Then the
dishes were washed while
Christmas carols were sung.
The rest of the day was
spent playing games, enjoy-
ing new gifts, and just relax-
ing. What a nice family day to
all be together. Snacks were
also enjoyed and goodies
given from the neighbors.
Later we had a light supper of
grilled cheese sandwiches.
Around 8 p.m. Timothy
and Mose left for their homes
bringing the well-spent day to
a close here at the Eicher
household.
The following day every-
one was home to clean up the
house, burn the boxes and
enough to be with the youth
group. The youth from our
church plan to go Christmas
caroling tomorrow night.
My good friend Lucille
from Dayton, Va., sent me a
cookbook from their commu-
nity for Christmas. I was ex-
cited to receive it as I love
looking through cookbooks
getting new ideas for recipes.
Try this recipe on one of these
cold winter days!

1/4 cup flour
2 cups milk
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1 cup cubed ham or fried
bacon crumbs

The family of Den Adams would like to thank everyone for
the love and support shown to us during the loss of our loved
one. Words cannot express our appreciation to those of you
that brought food, sent beautiful cards, flowers and other me-
morial tributes, monetary donations for Dens favorite chari-
ties, also many prayers, phone calls, and visits. Many thanks
go out to the ladies of Harvest Life Fellowship of Defiance and
the First Christian Church of Paulding who provided a deli-
cious dinner after the service. Thank you to our Pastor, Tim
Hacker, whose words were divinely inspired and comforting.
A special thank you goes out to Den Herder Funeral

In Loving Memory of
Pearl (Pete) Childs
Passed Away 11 Years Ago
January 10, 2003
You were taken from us so
suddenly. We still wonder why.
Our hearts still ache as each day
passes by. How long will this
emptiness inside us remain?
We miss you so much, long to see
you again. You left and dwell with
the Lord up above, but the
memories of you are filled with
such love. Weve said our
goodbyes and in faith we stand,
for one day in heaven, well walk
hand in hand. You are always
in our hearts. In time we
will see each other again.

QUESTION: How can I tell
if Facebook and social
media are negatively im-
pacting my marriage? I
dont think this is the case
at present, but I dont want
to be taken by surprise ei-
ther.
JIM: Even the best mar-
riages can fall prey to subtle
threats posed by social media,
so youre wise to be on guard.
If youre spending more time
on Facebook than you are in-
teracting with your spouse, or
if online relationships are
more satisfying than your
marriage, this is a definite
sign that something isnt
right.
Secrecy in any form is an-
other danger signal. Do you
log off or minimize the Face-
book window when your
spouse walks into the room?
If so, you need to ask yourself
why. Transparency is the
foundation of trust, and trust
is essential to every success-
ful marriage.
In connection with this last
point, there are several other
questions to ask yourself
about your interactions with
online friends, especially
those of the opposite sex.
Do your conversations in-
clude things that should be
kept between you and your
spouse? Do you find yourself
daydreaming about any of
these people? Do you look for
excuses to visit them online?
Do you share thoughts, feel-
ings or problems with them
that you dont reveal to your
mate? Are you convinced that
they understand you better
than your spouse does? If so,
theres a danger that these re-
lationships may be crossing
the line between the platonic
and the romantic.
If you are seeing any of
these red flags, Id urge you
to sit down with your spouse
By Jim Daly
and take a very close look at
your situation. It might be a
good idea to do this with the
assistance of a trained coun-
selor. You can locate one by
calling Focus on the Family.
QUESTION: What can I do
to help my spouse overcome
his pornography addiction?
He knows its killing our
marriage and has tried to
stop, but it seems to be a
losing battle.
Dr. Greg Smalley, vice
president, Family Ministries:
Sadly, sexual addictions of all
kinds have become wide-
spread in contemporary soci-
ety. It affects men and women
from all walks of life. Be-
cause it is rooted in the basic
human craving for relation-
ship, sexual addiction is tena-
cious and progressive in
nature. Porn is powerful be-
cause it offers a counterfeit
form of intimacy and attach-
ment.
Its important to keep this
in mind, and to understand
that your role is not to keep
him accountable. You can
pray for him, love him and
ask what he needs from you,
but you cannot control his be-
havior. Instead, its critical
that you begin to do what you
can to care for your own
heart, and find help for how
his addiction has hurt and im-
pacted you.
The good news is that ef-
fective help is available. We
suggest that you begin by
seeking professional counsel-
ing, and we highly recom-
mend that you do this
together. The most successful
approach involves an initial
program of intensive therapy,
followed by regular and on-
going counseling sessions.
Also key to recovery is
identifying a trusted friend or
group of people who will pro-
vide an environment of sup-
port and accountability.
Focus on the Family can pro-
vide you with referrals to
helpful programs of this kind.
In the meantime, you and
your husband might consider
installing some accountability
software on your computer.
Software programs of this
kind arent the ultimate an-
swer to the serious and com-
plex problems like those your
spouse is facing, but they can
play an important role in
helping you keep tabs on the
entire familys online activi-
ties.

Winning the Battle for a Generation
By Rick Jones
exec. director, Defiance
Area Youth for Christ
What are you dreaming about for 2014?
The New Year that is before us will repre-
sent an opportunity for many to dream what
might be or ponder what will be. What are you
dreaming about for 2014?
In light of this moment to reflect on possi-
bilities, Dr. J. Wallace Hamilton in his book
Horns and Halos tells about one of the weird-
est auction sales in history.
The auction was held in Washington, D.C.,
in 1926, where 150,000 patented models of
old inventions were declared obsolete and
placed on the auction block for public auction.
Prospective buyers and onlookers chuckled
as item after item was put up for bid, such as
a bedbug buster or an illuminated cat that was
designed to scare away mice. Then there was
a device to prevent snoring. It consisted of a
trumpet that reached from the mouth to the ear
and was designed to awaken the snorer and
not the neighbors. Then there was the ad-
justable pulpit that could be raised or lowered
according to the height of the preacher.
Needless to say, this auction of old patent
models was worth at least 150,000 laughs; but
if we would look into this situation a little
deeper, we would discover that these 150,000
old patent models also represent 150,000 bro-
ken dreams. They represented a mountain of
disappointments.
The important thing to remember in light of
all this is to continue to dream or as Solomon
puts it in Proverbs 29:18, KJV; Where there
is no vision the people perish.

In My Opinion
Happy anniversary,
Paulding County
By Kim Sutton
We all know the word centennial references 100 years. We
know the word sesquicentennial is for 150 years. We also have
the bicentennial, meaning 200 years. But whats the word for the
175th anniversary? Are you ready for the answer? Well, accord-
ing to Wikipedia (on-line encyclopedia) you have several to
choose from: Dodransbicentennial; Dodrabicentennial; Dequas-
bicentennial; Dosquicentennial; Demisemiseptcentennial; Quar-
toseptcentennial; Terquasquicentennial or
Septaquintaquinquecentennial. Take your pick!
2014 marks the 175th anniversary of Paulding County, which
is equally as confusing. Some will argue that Paulding County
was formed in 1820, which is
true. The Indians of northwest-
ern Ohio relinquished their
lands to the United States and
the Legislature of the State, by
an act of Feb. 12, 1820, pro-
ceeded to divide the newly ac-
quired territory into counties,
of which Paulding County was
one. The township lines were established in 1820 by Alexander
Holmes, Samuel Holmes and others and in 1821-22 the town-
ships were subdivided into sections by James W. Riley and his
assistants.
Although the lines were laid in 1820, because the swamp was
so sparsely settled, Paulding County remained under the juris-
diction of Wood County until 1824 and then Williams County
until 1839.
In 1839, the first county seat was established in New
Rochester. The first court was held in the spring of 1840 in New
Rochester with Honorable Emery D. Potter as presiding judge. It
was held in a room over General Horatio N. Curtis Store, since
there was no courthouse. There were no lawyers residing in the
county at that time so Edwin Phelps of Defiance was appointed
prosecuting attorney. In those days, lawyers traveled with judges
throughout the entire circuit they traveled on horseback.
So, if we choose to accept the date of organization and estab-
lishment of a county seat then Paulding County is celebrating
our 175th anniversary! If you choose to accept the date of 1820,
then we are 194 years old and we missed our Demisemiseptcen-
tennial (which is what Ive chosen to call it)!
Either way, our roots run deep and its truly amazing how we
have emerged from the Great Black Swamp to the fertile acres of
flat farmland made possible only by our ancestors hard work and
determination. Their struggles and strife to drain this swamp is
unimaginable. We are humbled by the thought of what they went
through and we should celebrate our 175th or 194th either way!
By the way three cheers for New Rochester, Crane Town-
ship. It served as the first county seat before Charloe built a two-
story courthouse and lured it away, and in 1840 was the busiest
town in the county. It stood about a mile north of Cecil on pres-
ent-day Route 424 (old US 24). All that stands today is an aban-
doned roadside park and a cemetery.

Thumbs up!
Dear Editor,
Few of us were overjoyed
with the past week of bitter
cold temperatures and lots of
snow.
So many letters to the edi-
tor are negative, but I for
one like to see a positive
one, so here is one from my
point of view.
On Jan. 9, I had to be in
Fort Wayne and I thought
the roads, streets and park-
ing lots would be okay, for
the most part. As I crossed
the state line on new U.S.
24, it was a major mess.
I got to New Haven and it
was even a bigger mess,
which continued on through
Fort Wayne and out to
Lutheran Hospital, where the
parking lot was not good ei-
ther. I was also in two addi-
tional parking lots which
also were not good.
So, I give the State of
Ohio, Paulding County and
our Village of Paulding, a
big thumbs up. To all the
crews, management and citi-
zens that worked many long
hours in the below zero tem-
peratures, Youre the best.

In My Opinion
What would you do?
There is a television show that is on from time to time
called What Would You Do? The network star of the show,
John Quinones, will introduce a specific scenario that is set
up using actors to carry out a controversial situation. For ex-
ample, it could be two people arguing in public and one is
going overboard with the other person. One time, a son was
arguing and showing little respect to his own mother. He was
rude and it was very embarrassing to her.
The idea is to see how the
general public will react and
if anyone will get involved
and come to the rescue of
the one who is being chal-
lenged. Its always interest-
ing to see how people will
get involved when it really
means something to them.
They will take a stand and defend a complete stranger. Other
times people will ignore the situation completely and do
nothing.
So, with the idea of the show and the burning question, What
would you do? I had a situation take place recently that was not
set up and no actors were involved. I wanted to do something,
but wasnt sure what I should do. Let me set the stage as best I
can, because I have never seen this happen before.
I was attending the Antwerp girls basketball game at Wood-
lan High School on a recent Saturday. Now, I consider myself a
very patriotic person and I admit that when I hear the Star
Spangled Banner, I usually get a lump in my throat. When the
song is played prior to the start of the game, I will stand with
everyone else and I will place my hand over my heart and for
those 60 to 90 seconds will remain quiet (because I cant sing
and therefore my wife will not permit it). I think its important to
give our attention to the flag and what it stands for. There is
something about the red, white and blue that deserves our re-
spect.
Now then, back to Woodburn. The canned Star Spangled
Banner was played and although it was not my favorite rendi-
tion, it still gave me the opportunity to place my hand over my
heart and be thankful for where I live. It was during the playing
of the music when everyone was standing quiet, almost in a rev-
erend spirit, when it happened. In walked a young couple as if
they were not even aware of what was going on and they basi-
cally walked from one end of the gym to the other, up the
bleachers six or seven rows to their seats. I was shocked. I
gasped as others around me looked just as puzzled as I did. It
was at that time that I wanted to do something, but what?
Although I didnt want to judge them for their stupidity, I felt
that I needed to say something to them. If they only knew how
foolish they looked. So what did I do? Now, it is embarrassing
to admit, for I did nothing. Even when the game ended and they
walked out taking the same path they walked in and I was stand-
ing less than 10 feet from them. Oh, I could have
approached them, but I didnt. And today, it still bothers me that
I missed an opportunity to share my feelings. Not because I
think I love my country too much, or this couple loves this
country less than I do, it just seems to me there is such a lack of
respect for our country, our flag and for each other. I wonder,
what would you do?

Bless those behind the scenes
Last week one day I was
leaving Paulding Hospital,
when the most beautiful ac-
tion on behalf of one of the
employees caught my atten-
tion.
A lady, no doubt carrying
out her responsibilities, was
standing by a door with a
bucket and a mop. And, there
she was, constantly mopping
up the muddy slushy deposits
being tracked in by those who
were passing through the
doors from the thawing snow
on the sidewalk on the out-
side.
Constantly, she swiped the
floor with her mop, taking
away the slipperiness and
making the otherwise slick
floor much safer for passage.
As I drove away, my mind
started to digest the full of ex-
tent of what that humble
worker was doing. Lets sup-
pose that she wasnt doing
that. Inevitably, someone
would probably fall and could
be seriously injured.
If that would be a mother,
she could have limited care of
her children for weeks; if it
were an elderly person, he or
she could be limited in their
ability to mobilize for the rest
of their lives.
Someone could be injured
who is providing valuable
services, perhaps a caretaker,
nurses aide or other individ-
ual whose absence for recov-
ery could cut deeply in their
needed services for others.
Drama? Perhaps but not
necessarily, especially with
all of the potential for injury
in quick slips or sides.
Thank goodness for all of
those willing to continue to
operate behind the scenes
during times of crisis to make
life more manageable for
those who may not even give
a thought to what they are
doing; employees from phone
and light companies, those
working tirelessly to attempt
to keep roads open, even dur-
ing county emergencies in
case there is a sudden emer-
gency or need such EMS or
fire.
A few days ago, I talked to
a nurse who has worked 20
years in a nursing home and
has never missed a day of
work because of bad weather.
To make this story even more
impressive, she lives 10 miles
away from the facility where
she is employed.
She described how she has
a battery charger to make sure
her batteries will start her ve-
hicle in the morning. She al-
ways purchases vehicles that
will negotiate the roads better.
While many are calling in
saying, I cant make it, (and
understandably at times), she
is leaving for work an hour
earlier than usual, or even
making arrangements to stay
at her place of work, if neces-
sary.
Concerning the latter, she
has often stayed over and
worked two or three extra
shifts to cover for others that
cant make it to work.
God bless all of those
working behind the scenes,
expressing their meritorious
service behind the scenes,
rather than calling for praise
on the street corner.
Back to the hospital, I said
to that worker that day,
Thank you for what you are
doing; just think of all of the
accidents you are preventing
from happening by your
faithful service.
For a second she choked up
and then she said, Why,
thank you, Id never thought
about that before.
And to this blessed public
servant, and many others
making life more convenient
for the rest of us as they qui-
etly sacrificially toil behind
the scenes, the mechanics,
those who provide wrecker
service, medical workers,
snow plow drivers and many
others, we say, Thank you.

In The
Garden
Another snow story?
Its not what you think...
deadhead it when each bloom
session is over.
Newest of the snow
plants to my garden is a
Miniature Snowflake mock-
orange (Philadelphus vir-
ginalis), a hardy shrub that
puts on an effusive display of
double white blooms in
spring that are deliciously fra-
grant.
Finally, a few years ago I
planted seeds of Snow-In-
Summer (Cerastium tomento-
sum) at the base of the west
side of one of our large oak
trees. I didnt get too many
blooms from the silvery-
green perennial that first year,
but every year since then its
been covered with small,
white-petaled, daisy-type
flowers. The great thing about
this one is that it thrives in
poor, dry, sunny locations.
Think groundcover or rock
garden.
So if you havent had
enough snow this winter,
theres always the other three
seasons. Let it snow!

setting sun. It doesnt seem to
mind hot dry weather as
much as the bigleaf hy-
drangeas do. Those are down-
right water hogs during the
warmest days of summer.
At the edge of my mostly
shady trellis garden, I have a
creeping groundcover,
Snowcap rock cress (Arabis
caucasica), which is covered
with clusters of tiny white
blooms in spring. It reminds
me of sweet alyssum, except
rock cress is a perennial and
only blooms in spring.
Speaking of sweet alyssum
(Lobularia), Snow Princess
is a constant mass of gor-
geous white blooms all sum-
mer and fall till frost. Another
annual that Ive mentioned in
this column before is Euphor-
bia marginata, commonly
known as Snow on the Moun-
tain, whose white-edged fo-
liage is the star of that show.
With clusters of tiny-
petaled white flowers similar
to the rock cress and sweet
alyssum is early summer
bloomer, Summer
Snowflake candytuft (Iberis
sempervirens). At about 12
inches, its taller than rock
cress and blooms a little later,
and like the rock cress, can-
dytuft is perennial.
Snow Angel coral bells
(Heuchera sanguinea) is a
beautiful green and white var-
iegated shade plant with
cherry pink blooms held high
over the foliage. This one
blooms intermittently in late
spring through summer if you
Last weeks big snowstorm
caused some major problems
for a lot of people and minor
ones for just about everyone
else, and well remember it
for a long, long time, but all
Im going to say about it here
is that my garden is grateful
that it came just before the
temperatures plummeted. If
the marginally hardy plants
Ive got stand a chance at all,
it will be thanks to all that
wonderful snow cover pro-
viding insulation.
But Ill bet you didnt
know that my garden has
snow all year round, did you?
I wouldnt exactly call it a
snow garden, but unintention-
ally I managed to plant a fair
number of snow plants.
The garden year starts
while snow the real stuff
may still be on the ground.
Eventually sharing its beauti-
ful, tiny, fragrant, white flow-
ers, Galanthus nivalis begins
to emerge in March, just
when you think winter will
never end and spring has for-
gotten all about us. The com-
mon name for this harbinger
of spring? Snowdrops, of
course!
Then theres the Snow
Fountains weeping cherry
tree that graces the front of
our house by the front door.
When you see it in full, glori-
ous bloom in spring, theres
no question how it got its
name. Its a very popular cul-
tivar (cultivated variety), not
just because of its lovely
weeping form or its beauty
when blooming, but because
its an easy tree to grow. It
does well in clay soil (like
ours) and is drought tolerant
once established.
In the large back garden,
the Snow Queen oakleaf hy-
drangea (Hydrangea querci-
folia), has panicles of white
petals that look lovely against
velvety green leaves in sum-
mer. It shines in autumn too,
when the foliage turns a fiery
shade of burgundy that sim-
ply glows when backlit by the

Pet safety for the winter months
By Mark Holtsberry
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
We all love our pets thats why we have
them, correct? So, here are some easy steps to
take to ensure your pet safety.
1. If you walk your pet and use snow and
ice melting products, be sure to rinse off your
pets feet well every time after exposure.
These products can be irritating to the skin and
paws. Pets will often lick their paws and can
ingest the toxins.
2. It is important to consider your pets
safety when getting rid of rodents. Rat poison
is a bait; this works for rodents as well as pets.
Even if the poison is hidden or seemingly out
of your pets reach, determined pets can be
quite creative when trying to reach the bait.
Additionally, rodents that die from the poison
and are ingested by pets post a risk to the pet.
3. Antifreeze is a common toxin and poten-
tially very deadly. Antifreeze (ethylene glycol)
is sweet-tasting, and even one lick can be quite
toxic to some pets. Clean up spills and store
these items locked away from pets and chil-
dren. An alternative to regular antifreeze is to
use a safe alternative (propylene glycol). The
cost may be more, but your pets will be safer
in the event of accidental exposure.
4. Many of our favorite plants for home and
garden are toxic to eat or chew on. Pets and chil-
dren love to explore, chew and taste. Be familiar
with the types of common poisonous plants and
prevent your pets access to them, just in case!
5. Never give your pet spoiled or moldy
food. Chocolate, grapes and raisins are also
toxic to pets. Coffee, tea and alcoholic bever-
ages should never be offered to pets.
6. And finally, this is probably obvious
keeping trash out of pets reach. The sheer mix
of items in a trash can or bag can make a pet
owner forget the combined potential hazard.
Meat and food scraps mixed with discarded
household cleaner containers, broken glass or
other sharp objects, etc. is a recipe for disaster
on many levels. Even good pets who usually
dont get in to garbage may get an inclination
due to what they smell or if they are bored or
hungry. Make sure your trash is secure.
Keep your pets safe this winter.

STORMS NEVER LAST
The media today is wonder-
ful about letting us know
about approaching storms and
bad weather. They can tell us
when a storm will arrive, how
much rain or snow we are
going to get, temperatures,
wind speeds and wind chill
factors. These meteorologists
are so much better today than
my old granny, who based her
weather predictions on the
phases of the moon.
The first thing we think of,
though, when we get the news
of forthcoming bad weather is
food, supplies and going to
the store.
I think of warm comforting
foods such as soups, hot
chocolate, hot tea with honey,
homemade bread and crock-
pot stews. This last storm was
no different. We knew a nasty
weather system was going to
hit us by late Saturday night
and into Sunday and Monday.
A trip to the grocery store
was on our agenda on Satur-
day and everyone elses, too.
Store parking lots were
jammed packed with cars all
lined up waiting for a parking
spot. We were all in such a
hurry to get our food and sup-
plies that no one seemed to
care where they parked.
Once in the store, no shop-
ping carts were available and
the check-out lanes were
winding down the aisles.
Bread and milk seemed to be
the most popular items as they
were flying off the shelf. Trust
me, I was right in there with
everyone else, thinking of
nothing but the storm and
what I wanted to cook and
eat.
Needless to say, the storm
came in Sunday morning and
many church services were
canceled, including the
church we attend. I was happy
I had made that trip to the gro-
cery, because I whipped up a
big pot of chili and tried a
new recipe called Salad in a
Jar. So far, so good.
By Monday, when we got
up, it looked like everyone
was snowed in, the wind was
blowing and extreme cold
temperatures were forecast.
Making sure we had plenty of
kerosene, candles and batter-
ies, we hunkered down. Going
through my mind were all the
things I was supposed to do
this week. I was supposed to
not only go to work, but had a
couple of music gigs that were
canceled.
By Tuesday, I was getting
nervous about the weather
ever getting warm or of ever
getting our cars out. I could
not believe I was fretting, but
also getting cabin fever. I did-
nt want to read or watch TV,
so I made homemade sausage
and pancakes, a pork roast and
a chicken pot pie.
Our poor little dog, Baylee,
tried to go outside to potty and
the snow covered up his head.
He did not go very far, but got
stuck in a drift and we had to
go rescue him.
Tuesday afternoon, we got
plowed out, thanks to a young
man, Eric Bidlack, who went
above and beyond to make
sure our vehicles were out
from all the snow.
Sometimes, you watch a
storm approaching and you do
everything you can think of to
get prepared. However, it is
the people who plow the snow,
the emergency crews, power
crews, fire departments, sher-
iffs and law enforcement,
EMA directors and all of us
helping each other that en-
ables us to weather each and
every storm.
We have already had our
share of snow, cold, ice and
winds so far this year and I am
like everyone else who cant
wait until the spring thaw.
However, I read a social
media post the other day
which really got me thinking.
A Penny For
Your Thoughts....
By: Nancy Whitaker
It was this: There is something
joyful about storms that inter-
rupt routine. Snow suddenly
releases you from expecta-
tions, performance demands,
and the tyranny of appoint-
ments and schedules. One can
almost hear the unified sign of
relief when Nature has inter-
vened to give weary humans a
respite. All those affected this
way are unified by a mutual
excuse, and the heart is sud-
denly and unexpectedly a little
giddy. This was a personal fa-
vorite from the book, The
Shack. So relish the moment.
Do you go grocery shop-
ping when you hear a storm is
coming? What do you buy?
Do you think that storms
sometimes just releases us
from the stress of everyday
life? Let me know and Ill
give you a Penny for Your
Thoughts. I know I have had
my release and respite long
enough now, and am ready to
join the human race again.

Mosquitoes can survive
through the winter
By Mark Holtsberry
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
All mosquitoes need water for their devel-
opment and typically the adult female lays her
eggs in standing water. The eggs become larva
then the larva become the blood sucking
adults we are familiar with.
Preparing for the winter months is a little
more complex and mosquitoes have different
ways to ensure survival. In late summer or
early fall, adult females will lay their eggs in
moist soil or standing water. Some of these
eggs remain as eggs through the winter while
some will develop to the larval stage and sur-
vive the winter in this stage.
Both the eggs and larva enter into a process
called diapause, which actually slows down or
stops the development of the egg or larva for
several months. The process of diapause re-
duces the egg and larvaes need for nutrients
when the surrounding environment is frozen,
since all mosquitoes need water to develop.
Some eggs that have entered diapause are able
to dry out for a long period of time and once
the egg becomes moist again it will start its
development to become an adult. This not
only ensures survival through the winter, but
if there is a severe drought, the mosquito can
stick around even when the conditions are un-
favorable.
The other process that mosquitoes use to
survive is a form of hibernation called torpor.
The adult female will breed in later summer
or early fall and enter hollow logs, animal bur-
rows, or basements of homes to survive the
winter.
If you ever have a mosquito buzzing around
your house in January, your home may have
been picked as a great place to stay over win-
ter.

Raiders record wins
over Holgate, Jefferson
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
HAVILAND A pair of home games re-
sulted in a pair of victories for the Wayne
Trace boys basketball team as the red, white
and blue defeated Holgate and Delphos Jeffer-
son.
In non-league play Saturday evening, the
red, white and blue posted a 63-55 win over
visiting Delphos Jefferson behind 26 points
from junior Corbin Linder.
Linder connected on eight treys in the con-
test, including three in the opening stanza and
two each in the third and fourth quarters.
Freshman brother Ethan Linder added 11
markers for Wayne Trace with Colby Speice
chipping in nine markers. Devin Wenzlick
(six), Jake Arend (five), T.J. Blackmore (four)
and David Sinn (two) completed the Raider
scoring.
Wayne Trace led 13-6 after one quarter and
posted a 30-19 halftime advantage. The
Raiders held a 44-33 lead entering the final
stanza.
The Raiders were 22 of 45 from the field
(49 percent), including hitting 9 of 15 from be-
yond the arc (60 percent). Wayne Trace was
10 of 15 (67 percent) at the charity stripe but
connected on 9 of 12 in the final stanza. The
red, white and blue had fewer turnovers 12-16
and won the rebound battle 28-24.
Wenzlick also had eight rebounds for the
local squad with Ethan Linder grabbing six.
Speice dished out four assists and chipped in
three steals. Corbin Linder recorded two as-
sists and T.J. Blackmore posted two steals.
Trey Smith paced the Wildcats with 22
points followed by Austin Jettinghoff with 18
and Ross Thompson chipped in 11. Jace
Stockwell and Nick Fitch each had five boards
for Delphos Jefferson while Smith grabbed
four. Fitch also dished out three assists while
Stockwell, Thompson and Smith each posted
two steals.
We are continuing to get better, stated
Raider head coach Jim Linder. We are getting
contributions from everybody that plays and
that is important to the success. There are still
areas we need to get better, but that is some-
thing we will continue to work on.
Raiders post opening win
Wayne Trace opened Green Meadows Con-
ference play last Thursday as the Raiders wel-
comed visiting Holgate.
The Raiders opened a 15-9 advantage after
one quarter and stretched it from there in post-
ing a 64-47 win over the Tigers.
Wayne Trace led 33-21 at the intermission
before Holgate trimmed the deficit to 46-37
after three quarters.
Ethan Linder paced the way for the red,
white and blue with 21 points while Wenzlick
chipped in 11 and Corbin Linder added 10.
Rounding out the scoring were Speice
(eight), Blackmore (six), Arend (four), Justin
Speice (two) and Sinn (two).
Wenzlick topped the Raider efforts on the
boards with nine while Colby Speice picked
up six caroms. Corbin Linder dished out three
assists with Arend and Colby Speice recording
a pair of assists as well. Colby Speice posted
three steals along with Ethan Linder and
Corbin Linder having two each.
Terrell Clark had 16 points for the Tigers
followed by Lincoln Okuley with seven. Clark
also topped Holgate with 11 rebounds and
Jacob Clark pulled down seven.
Holgate won the battle on the boards, 39-
33, but the Tigers also had more turnovers, 17-
11. Wayne Trace was 21 of 48 from the field
(44 percent) compared to Holgates 14 of 48
(29 percent).
Its good to open the league schedule with
a win over a good team like Holgate, stated
Raider head coach Jim Linder. I thought we
had a solid effort tonight and we saw some
players step up and make big plays for us. We
have to continue to develop our depth and
work them in.
In junior varsity action, Wayne Trace also
posted a pair of wins as the Raiders defeated
Delphos Jefferson, 48-27, and knocked off
Holgate, 49-26.
Luke Miller had 11 points to lead the red,
white and blue against the Wildcats and Alec
Vest chipped in 10. Other scorers were Cole
Shepherd (eight), Rylen Asher (eight), Gabe
Wobler (five), Justin Speice (four) and Nick
Glass (two).
Miller dished out four assists while record-
ing three steals and Shepherd picked up three
assists and two steals. Wobler, Chris Davis and
Asher chipped in three steals as well. Shep-
herd also topped Wayne Trace with five re-
bounds and Miller picked up four caroms.
Wobler topped the Raiders against Holgate
with 11 points followed by Miller (nine) and
Vest (eight). Speice (seven), Clint Sinn (six),
Glass (six) and Shepherd (two) picked up the
other Raider points.
Speice and Wobler both recorded four car-
oms with Miller and Clint Sinn grabbing three
boards. Miller posted four assists and three
steals with Vest and Sinn recording four and
three steals, respectively.
Wayne Traces varsity and junior varsity are
each 6-1 overall and 1-0 in the Green Mead-
ows Conference heading into last nights ac-
tion at Paulding. The Raiders visit Ayersville
in GMC play tomorrow night before traveling
to Lima Shawnee on Saturday.

Panthers rely on strengths for double victories
By JIM LANGHAM
Sportswriter
The Paulding boys continued their
string of victories, sweeping two
away games this past weekend. On
Friday, the Panthers invaded Bluffton
and came away with a strong 46-35
victory. Saturday, the local squad
traveled to Fairview and posted an
impressive 68-44 win over the
Apaches.
Paulding improved its mark to 9-2
overall and 2-1 in the Northwest Con-
ference.
On Friday night, the Panthers took
the Pirates out of their spread offense
early and forced them to play Pauld-
ing basketball. Paulding nudged into
an 11-7 lead at the end of the first
quarter, and then shut down their op-
ponents, 7-2, in the second stanza to
vault into an 18-9 halftime advantage.
Paulding extended that margin to
33-19 at the end of three quarters to
hang on for the big win.
Kyle Kauser put on another strong
performance, posting 17 points, in-
cluding two treys while Guy Harder
posted a double-double with 13
points and 14 rebounds en route to the
win. In addition, Paulding outre-
bounded Bluffton, 32-25.
With Mother Nature playing crazy
going into the weekend, we just relied
on what we do best and played to our
strengths, commented Paulding head
coach Shawn Brewer. Against
Bluffton, they played a slow down
style; they like to spread you out and
then get the lead.
We did exactly what we had to do
in the game. We jumped out on top and
then forced them to have to attack in-
stead of making us try to come out and
get them.
We did a nice job of getting the lead
and extending it in the third quarter,
continued Brewer. Kyle Kauser hit
some big shots in the third to give us a
pretty nice lead. We ended up a little
sloppy, but it was still a solid perform-
ance from the guys.
On Saturday night, the Panthers
fired into a 43-22 halftime advantage
to bury the Apaches early. In that con-
test, three Panthers tallied double fig-
ures including Treston Gonzales with
16 points, Guy Harder with 12 points
and Kyle Kauser with 11 points.
Daniel Smith led Fairview with 11
points. Kauser and Guy Harder each
tallied a three-point goal for Paulding.
In that contest, Paulding only turned
the ball over four times and outre-
bounded Fairview, 30-23.
On Saturday we played at Fairview
in our eighth road game in the last nine
games and we played pretty well, said
Brewer. The guys passed the ball well
and our pressure created some buckets
for us that allowed us to get the lead and
never relinquish it.
I was very pleased with our per-
formance; now I am excited to be home
for a lot of games in the second half of
the season, said Brewer.
Pauldings JV team also recorded
two wins over the weekend to sit with
the varsity in a 9-2 record.
The Panthers will return home on
Friday for a conference game with
Columbus Grove before traveling to
Ayersville on Saturday for a non-league
event.
Rams rip Archers with
quickness and shooting
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
ANTWERP It was the
one-two combination of
close-range and long-range
shooting that buried the
Antwerp Archers, 79-53, last
Thursday when the Tinora
Rams came calling.
Senior sharp shooting
guard Derek Drewes was
solid from long range with 26
points including six baskets
from downtown. While
Drewes was doing his dam-
age from the outside, the 6-
foot-4 junior center Jacob
Miller made his presence
known in the paint with 19
points.
Its not surprising in see-
ing what those two can do.
They are two of the better
basketball players in our con-
ference, said Antwerp head
coach TJ Hammer. Number
Four (Drewes) is a great
player and hes tough to
guard.
Tinoras Miller got his
team on the board first and
Sam Williamson answered
with a 2-point goal for the
early tie, but the Rams would
continue to race up and down
the court to secure a 10-point
margin after one quarter of
play at 19-9.
Antwerp never led in the
contest, although they man-
aged to pull to within one at
21-20 on a Derek Smalley
goal with 5:03 remaining in
the second period. At that
point, the Rams would go on
a 15-0 run to lead 36-20.
Again, Smalley connected on
a traditional 3-point play with
1:37 showing on the clock.
Tinora settled for a 42-26
halftime lead.
After scoring three field
goals in the first quarter and
then going scoreless in the
second, Miller caught fire in
the third with 11 points, in-
cluding the Rams first six
and putting his team in con-
trol 48-26.
Miller is one of the best
post players we will see. He
was a tough match up for us,
said Hammer.
The Ram margin ballooned
to as many as 26 in the third
period. A Kaden Brumett trey
as the third quarter buzzer
sounded had the Rams in
front, 62-39.
Brumett led the Archers in
scoring with 14 including three
buckets from behind the arc.
Also in double digits for the
blue and white were
Williamson with 13 (three 3-
pointers) and Smalley with
12.
Our kids played hard and
we didnt quit, but execution
wise we have got to get better.
We couldnt slow them down
and we didnt stop their transi-
tion game, said Hammer.
Antwerp falls to 5-4 overall
and 0-1 in the GMC while
Tinora improves to 8-2 and 1-
0 in conference play.

Lady Archers struggle offensively
Antwerp scores 24, 25 in two games
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
The Lady Archers hosted
the Tinora Lady Rams last
Friday evening and then had
the task of a quick turnaround
on Saturday with a early af-
ternoon match up at Woodlan.
The Woodlan game date was
rescheduled due to bad
weather earlier in the week.
The Green Meadows Con-
ference game with Tinora had
the Lady Rams coast to a 46-
24 win, holding the Archers
to just two points in the first
and third quarters.
Ashley Mack, a 5-foot-11
post player for the Rams, rat-
tled home 19 points to lead all
scorers.
For the Archers, Kaiya
Jemison, the lone Archer sen-
ior, totaled nine points.
Antwerp opened with a 2-0
led on a short jumper from
Audrie Longardner, but the
only Archer lead of the con-
test quickly vanished when
the Rams scored the next 13
points. The Ram margin grew
to as many as 13 at 21-8, but
the Archers fought back to
close out the first half on a 6-
0 run on a basket from
Cheyenne Miller-Sweet and
two buckets from Jemison.
Holding a 21-14 margin
over the Archers, the Rams
took control, holding
Antwerp to just two points on
an Avery Braaten field goal.
Tinora managed nine points
in the quarter to take a 30-16
lead into the final eight min-
utes of play.
Mack scored the first four
Tinora field goals to open the
fourth period to put the visi-
tors from Defiance County up
34-16 and the Archers would-
nt recover before dropping
the 22-point decision.
Tinora played Bryan on
Saturday a dropped a three-
point affair, 49-46, to fall to
4-7 while the Archers stand 1-
9 following their loss to
Woodlan on Saturday.
Antwerp (24): Miller-Sweet 2 0-1 4,
Braaten 1 0-2 2, Longardner 2 2-2 6,
Short 1 0-0 3, Jemison 4 0-0 9. Totals:
10 2-5 24. Three point goals: Short 1,
Jemison 1. Total fouls: 15.
Tinora (46): Bowden 1 0-0 2, Sanders
1 0-1 2, Weber 2 0-0 4, Pedroza 2 3-5
7, Wachtman 3 0-0 6, Manhugh 2 0-1 4,
Mack 8 3-3 19. Totals: 19 6-10. Total
fouls: 11.
Woodlan 53 Antwerp 25
Hitting shot,s and therefore
scoring points, continues to
plague the blue and white
from competing down the
stretch in many of their
games. On Friday against
Tinora, the Archers managed
just 24 points and on Satur-
day at Woodlan, Coach Kevin
Taylors squad totaled 25
while the Lady Warriors fin-
ished with 53.
Again, like the night be-
fore, the Archers scored first
on a Peyton Short two-point
basket but an 11-0 run in the
quarter put Woodlan in con-
trol 16-4. Another basket by
Short prior to the end of the
first eight minutes gave the
Warriors a 10-point margin
16-6.
The second quarter had
Woodlan increase their lead
to as many as 20 on a couple
of occasions and settled for a
30-12 halftime lead.
Turnovers. Too many
turnovers. Plus we have a
hard time scoring and when
we have an open shot we still
struggle scoring, said Taylor.
For the game, Antwerp
made just six shots with Short
hitting three and leading the
Archer scoring with 10 points.
With the win, Woodlan im-
proves to 8-3 and was led in
scoring by the 15 points of 5-
foot-11 freshman Rain Hin-
ton and 15 points by Brooke
Gerbers.
With her size, Hinton took
charge of the paint area and
gathered her points on the in-
side while Gerbers was dead
eye on the outside with the 5-
foot-6 senior hitting three
baskets behind the arc and
hitting a perfect four of four
from the foul line.
We didnt come out and
play with any intensity. It
may have had something to
do with us playing the night
before. But the bottom line is
that we do not have the phys-
icality or strength to play 32
minutes against some if these
teams with superior height,
Taylor said.
Antwerp (25): Miller-Sweet 0 1-6 1,
Longardner 1 2-2 4, Short 3 4-5 10,
Jemison 1 5-8 7, Johanns 1 0-0 3. To-
tals: 6 12-21. Three point goals: Johanns
1. Total fouls: 16.
Woodlan (53): Graber 2 0-0 2, Sum-
mers 2 0-1 2, Hostetler 2 2-3 6, Franklin
3 0-2 6, Cook 2 1-1 5, Gerbers 4 4-4
15, Salzbrenner 1 0-0 2, Hinton 6 3-3
15. Totals: 22 10-14 53. Three point
goals: Gerbers 3. Total fouls: 17.
Defensive effort salvages split for WT
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
HAVILAND After falling to Holgate
in Green Meadows Conference action on
Friday, the Wayne Trace Lady Raiders
rebounded for an easy win over Edon in
non-league action on Saturday.
Wayne Trace never seemed to get into
Fridays game at Holgate as the Tigers
dominated from start to finish in posting
a 77-37 win over the Raiders.
Saturdays first half had a very similar
feel to it as Wayne Trace held a slim 29-
23 lead at halftime before stepping up
the defensive effort and pulling away for
a 73-37 victory over the Bombers.
The red, white and blue got a balanced
scoring effort against the Williams
County squad with four players reaching
twin digits.
Brenda Feasby had 15 points to lead
the way while the sophomore duo of
Erin Mohr and Shayna Temple added 14
markers each. Brooke Wilcox also
chipped in 10 markers.
Madi Poling (six), Lauren Speice
(six), Estie Sinn (four) and Sylvia Young
(four) provided the other Raider points.
Temple recorded 13 rebounds for the
red, white and blue with Wilcox getting
six and Feasby recording five. Temple
also had five assists and nine steals.
Stacy Flint chipped in four assists and
three steals with Wilcox and Feasby each
posting four steals. Mohr and Speice had
three steals each as well.
Wayne Trace took advantage of 36
Bomber turnovers on the afternoon and
the Raiders won the boards 42-34. The
Raiders were also 31 of 69 from the field
(45 percent) compared to Edons 14 of
44 (32 percent).
On Friday, the Raiders never led as
Holgate scored first and went on to post
a 16-7 advantage after one quarter. The
Tigers led 42-18 at halftime and 65-26 at
the end of three periods.
Mohr and Speice each bucketed eight
points for Wayne Trace with Feasby and
Temple adding six each. Poling, Young
and Leah Sinn picked up three markers
each as well.
Speice led the Raiders on the boards
with ten followed by Mohr at six while
Temple dished out two assists and
recorded two steals. Young and Leah
Sinn also had a pair of steals each.
Our defensive effort was much im-
proved in the second half against Edon,
commented Raider head coach Bethany
Hughes. It starts on the defensive end
and we didnt do a very good job of that
against Holgate. I thought we came out
in the second half and did a much better
job today (Saturday against the
Bombers).
The Raider junior varsity also split
their games last week as Wayne Trace
beat Edon, 40-6, but fell to Holgate, 39-
34.
On Saturday, Wayne Trace led 18-0
after one quarter and pulled away from
there to the win over the Bombers. The
Raiders led 25-2 at halftime and 34-2 at
the end of three periods.
Danae Myers had 14 points for the
Raiders while Courtney Mead chipped in
six. Stacy Flint (four), Estie Sinn (four),
Leah Sinn (four), Carrie Thrasher (two),
Maddie Zartman (two), Brianna Sinn
(two) and Hollie Wannemacher (two)
picked up the other points.
At Holgate, the Raiders led 4-0 after
one quarter but couldnt hold on from
there. The Tigers posted a 17-10 halftime
advantage and took a 26-21 lead at the
end of three periods.
Flint had 11 points for the red, white and
blue with Wannemacher adding nine. Leah
Sinn (eight), Myers (four), Mead (one) and
Brianna Sinn (one) picked up the other
points.
Wayne Traces varsity is now 8-3 on the
season and 1-1 in the Green Meadows
Conference. The Raider junior varsity
stands at 8-2 in all games and 1-1 in the
league.
The red, white and blue returns to action
on Friday as they host Ayersville in GMC
action. Wayne Trace hosts Delphos Jeffer-
son in non-league on Tuesday.
WTs Clemens 5-0 at
Bellmont super duals
Antwerp Jr. High wrestlers
place three at invitational
AYERSVILLE The Antwerp Junior High wrestling team
competed at the Ayersville Junior High Wrestling Invitational
on Jan. 11. The Archer wrestlers were able to place all three
wrestlers that competed in the tournament.
Placing third at 80 pounds was Aidan McAlexander. Ryan
Kitchen also finished third at 122 pounds with a record of one
win and one loss on the day.
Tyler Bauer was able to finish second on the day while
amassing a 1-1 record as well.
DECATUR, Ind. The
Wayne Trace varsity
wrestling team competed in
its first Main Event Super
Duals at Bellmont High
School in Decatur, Ind., this
past weekend. Wayne Trace
finished with a 0-5 mark on
the day.
The Raiders were defeated
by Bloomington South 60-15,
Homestead 45-28, Perry
Meridian 76-4, Penn Kings-
men 74-4, and Bellmont 61-
17.
Leading the Raiders was
George Clemens, who was 5-
0 on the day, defeating all of
his opponents.
Dustin Taylor was 2-2,
Josh Reel and Riley Moore
was 2-3, Ruger Goeltzen-
leuchter was 1-4, and Darin
Showalter was 1-1.
Other Raiders who com-
peted but fell short of a win
were Matt Baxter Jake Ger-
ber, Jacob Dingus, Rian
James and Justin Pierce.
Coach George Clemens
commented that he was proud
of how well his team wres-
tled.
When we come to an
event like this and can simply
compete, its a good indica-
tion of how well we will do in
the postseason, Clemens
said. Bloomington South is
ranked 15th in the state of In-
diana, Perry Meridian is
fourth, Penn Kingsman third,
and Bellmont 10th.
And the majority of the
wrestlers that we faced today
are ranked individually in the
top 15 in Indiana, the mentor
continued. To me, its not
about wins and losses at this
point; its about whether we
can wrestle the best, and com-
pete. I feel we did that today.
Im excited about the up-
coming tournaments, and the
state dual tournament. We
will be back inside our com-
petition level, and I believe
we will be ready.

finished in eighth place with
163 points while Antwerp

need to work on to get ready
for conference, said first-year

Six Antwerp wrestlers com-
peted in this very tough tourna-

place in the top eight of their

with a record of 2-3 on the

well.
