From Staff Reports


GROVER HILL A fire of
unknown origin swept through
a Cooper-owned farrowing
barn early Sunday morning
northeast of Grover Hill, killing all the animals inside.
Value of the loss is yet to be
determined.
According to a Cooper
Farms spokesperson, the White
Oak sow farms manager,
who lives on site, awoke to
the sound of the fire. His call
for help at 5:08 a.m. March 8
brought aid from Grover Hill,
Oakwood, Paulding and Scott
fire departments.
The 400x75-foot wood
frame barn with metal siding,
built in 2000, housed 380 sows
and their offspring at the location on Road 165, according to
Coopers officials.
The fire was contained to
one of the two barns, leaving
the main barn of 2,200 sows
unaffected, thanks to quick action by our team members and
the local fire departments, said
a release by Coopers Farms.
No other employees were at
the barn yet, said the company
spokeswoman.
No further details were
available.

Standing beside the car they spend nearly every night in, Mitch McClure and Rex are ready to head home for some sleep before
they start their next shift at 11 p.m. the next night.

WT grad finds K-9


dedicated partner
By JUDY WELLS
Feature Writer
When they go on patrol each
night, Patrolman Mitch McClure drives the Defiance Police Department cruiser and his
partner rides in the back seat.
Thats because his partner is a

bond that most people dont


understand. Hes completely
devoted to protecting me and
doing whatever I ask him to
do.
Thirty-two-year-old Mitch,
who grew up in Grover Hill, is
a Wayne Trace graduate who
played football and basketball
in high school. But he knew
early on that he wanted to
work in law enforcement.
When I was attending the
police academy in Lima, I had
a chance to ride with one of
the K-9 handlers, he says. I
really enjoyed watching him
work with his dog and decided
right then that I wanted to do
this.
After graduating from the
academy, Mitch worked in the
county for a short time, and
then became a patrolman for
the Defiance Police Department.
I worked as a police officer
for two years in Paulding and
Antwerp, he says. And Ive
been here in Defiance for almost nine years now. I really
enjoy working the night shift
with Rex. Weve had some
unusual calls and have been in
trouble a few times, but hes
always come through and done
whatever he needed to do to
protect me.
In March 2009, Rex arrived
at Faus Kennels in Elkhart,
Ind. from Czechoslovakia.
As near as we can tell from
his passport, he was about a
year-and-a-half old when I got
him, Mitch says. It was kind
of hard to decipher, but thats
pretty close.
Judy Wells/Paulding County Progress Following their 13-week
Mitch McClure, a Wayne Trace graduate, says hes found his training course in Elkhart,
calling. I knew I wanted to be a K-9 handler as soon as I rode Mitch and Rex started their pawith my instructor at the police academy, he says. Rex is the trol duties in July of that year.
Hes a very stubborn dog,
perfect partner for me. He keeps me on my toes.
7-year-old, black-as-coal K-9
officer named Rex that weighs
a little over 100 pounds. The
pair works from 11 p.m. until
7 a.m.
Rex is the most dedicated
partner Ive ever had, Mitch
says. We have a special

Mitch says with a chuckle.


There was never a time when
I didnt want to continue with
the training, but he did try my
patience a few times. But once
he figured out that I was the
leader of the pack, so to speak,
he was fine. Now hes my best
friend and partner. Most days I
spend more time with him than
I do with my wife, LeAnn. He
even sleeps when I do, sometimes in bed with me. Hes
pretty restless, though, so I
usually make him sleep on the
floor.
Rexs training includes
tracking, article searches, drug
searches, handler protection,
building searches, aggression
control and obedience.
Obedience is the most important, Mitch says. I need
to have control of him at all
times. Hes trained to do building searches alone. All I have
to do is give him the command
and hell go into a building
and search each room. It can
be dangerous for him, but hes
a tool, not a pet. If someone is
hiding in the building and planning to do harm, Id rather see
Rex get hurt than an officer.
A lot of people have a common misconception that police
dogs are mean. But thats not
true, Mitch continues. Yes,
they can be mean and bite
when they have to, but I dont
like for that to happen with
Rex. Hes as gentle as can be
with my kids. Lance is 7 and
Kendal is 5 and they play with
him all the time when Im
home. As soon as we get home
from work, he transitions from
an officer to a dog.
Statistically, Rex is the busiest K-9 officer Defiance has

Coach Matt Smith, former Panther, leads Swanton


By JOE SHOUSE
Progress Staff Writer

jshouse@progressnewspaper.org

One former Paulding Panther basketball player is making a name for


himself on the basketball court. No
longer in uniform or shooting jump
shots, Matt Smith, a 2000 graduate
from PHS is the varsity coach at
Swanton where he has his Bulldogs
playing in the district tournament.
Swanton will play Delta following the Paulding-Ottawa Glandorf
match-up on Thursday, part of a doubleheader at the Whitehouse district
tournament in Division III.
After a successful career at Paulding in leading the Panthers to a Northwest Conference title, Smith spent a
brief time at Defiance College and
then transferred to the University of
Toledo where he received his teaching degree.
While attending UT, Smith, who
always wanted to be a coach, got a
taste of pacing the sidelines when
he landed a coaching job at Toledo
Start High School. There, he spent
six years gaining experience while
coaching at the freshman and junior
varsity level.
When I was at Toledo Start I was
settling in and it was about time for
the varsity coach to retire. I could
have probably stayed and got the
head coaching job, said Smith.
While contemplating the Toledo
Start possibility, the Swanton job
came open. Needing a teaching job
and having the desire to coach, Smith
applied for the Swanton job, knowing
he had nothing to lose.
I was told not to go, the program
cant win, which was somewhat true.
They had only two winning seasons
in the league and had come to accept
their role as a doormat in the conference, said Smith.
Even after hearing all the negatives, Smith was convinced he could
make the program a winner. And so,
as a young 26-year-old head coach,
he took the job and has been at Swanton for the last seven years.
A science teacher in the early part

Following their league championship, Swanton head coach Matt Smith embraces the trophy along with his two
daughters, Kinsley (left) and Rylee. Smith, a former Paulding Panther and 2000 graduate, has his team in the Division
III district tournament and will play Delta on Thursday at Anthony Wayne High School.
of his career, Smith now serves as the
dean of students at the junior high
level. Right now, as the head basketball coach, he is the toast of the town.
The school as well as the community
are enthusiastic about their Bulldogs.
Its not been easy, according to the
former Panther. Its been a seven-year
process but its a process he would
not change even if he could. With
all the struggles, the ups and downs,
looking back Smith knows that its all
been worth it.
When I came here, I wasnt sure
what to expect, but I knew if we
would work hard, we could get the
job done. The first year we might
have gotten five or six wins, then the

following year it was eight, then nine,


and 12 and now we are 18-5 and playing in the districts. The first year we
had two wins in the conference and
this year we were 7-1 and conference
champs, commented the Bulldog
mentor.
Smith has put together this years
team thinking they would be pretty
good. The appears promising for the
Bulldogs with three key players in the
starting lineup from the junior class.
Its all coming around and the future looks bright but right now we are
enjoying this moment. The town is all
abuzz and the support has been fantastic, said Smith. Its been a slow
process but worth all the work and

time.
Speaking of support, Kregg
Creamer, who was Matts high school
coach at Paulding is a big fan of what
Smith has accomplished in his young
career. Creamer, now athletic director
at Dixie High School near Dayton,
made the trip to see Matt and the
Bulldogs win their league championship a couple of weeks ago.
Coach Creamer as well as Coach
Shawn Brewer at Paulding have been
very supportive. Many times Ive
called them up and they have shared
advice, encouragement and support.
I have nothing but fond memories of
my high school days and the coaches
who helped me succeed, he said.

Smith admits that he took a lot from


Creamer and Brewer when it comes
to his style of coaching. Creamer was
one very intense coach and when the
ball was tipped up to start the game,
Creamer was more than ready to battle his opponent.
Thats a lot like who I am. I love
the game and the opportunity to
coach the kids. We work hard as a
coaching staff and the players give it
their best. We are beginning to see the
positive results from the hard work
and dedication, Smith said.
Matt and his wife, Lindsay, live
in Whitehouse and have two young
girls, Rylee, age 4, and 2-year-old
Kinsley. Matt looks at Swanton and
the challenges he faces as being similar to Paulding.
Both communities are blue collar. Paulding is where I learned the
importance of hard work and family values. I appreciate my Paulding
roots and believe my growing up
in Paulding County has helped me
to the husband, father, teacher and
coach that I am today.
Matts parents, Dave and Debbie
Smith, still live in rural Paulding
as does his grandparents, Ivan and
Pat Arend. Dave is a bus driver for
Paulding Exempted Schools.
Matt jokingly said, They still live
in Paulding, even on the same road,
but I have made Swanton fans out of
them. They attend all the games and
they will be at the game on Thursday, he said.
Its been a great year and Matt confesses that he probably wont really
enjoy it or appreciate all the fun the
coaching staff and the team has experienced until its all over and he has
the opportunity to relax and reflect on
it all.
I dont think I have worked any
harder this year than any other year
as a coach. There have been times
in seven years when we took a step
forward and two steps back. Like any
team, we have dealt with injuries and
troubled kids but I have remained
patient and I guess that has been the
hardest part patience.

Antwerp superintendent
search now under way
By JOE SHOUSE
Progress Staff Writer

jshouse@progressnewspaper.org

ANTWERP With the recent


announcement that Pat Ross will
retire as Antwerp Local School
superintendent, the search for
her replacement is in its early
stages. In special session the
board discussed the process for
a new superintendent for Ross
who will retire at the end of the
2014-15 school year.
Mrs. Ross has done an excellent job of leading the Antwerp Local Schools during her
tenure, stated board president
Dennis Recker. Our goal is to
conduct a state wide comprehensive search to seek a highly
qualified superintendent who
will deliver to our school community the continued excellence
in leadership that is expected
within our school district and
community, continued Recker.
To assist in the search, the
school board has asked Western
Buckeye ESC superintendent
Brian Gerber to aid in the state
wide search. Western Buckeye

ESC will be providing support


in posting the position, mass
mailings, mass electronic mailings as well as criminal background and reference checks.
The Antwerp Local board of
education will be given all the
applications for review.
Recker is confident that the
district will get the right person
for the job.
We have an outstanding
school district that strives for
excellence. We are in a strong
position to attract highly qualified candidates. The board is
excited about the future, and we
think our next superintendent
will also be excited to be part of
our school community.
The tentative plan is to have
Western Buckeye ESC post the
job state wide on March 2 with
the application deadline targeted
for March 27. The first round of
interviews will be conducted in
early April with the projected
hire date during the April Board
of Education meeting. The new
superintendents contract would
begin Aug. 1.

ever had.
Theyve had two dogs before him, Mitch
says. Eagle was the first one and Zeus was the
second. They both had really good records, but
nothing compared with Rexs. Since 2009, Rex
has worked a total of 780 canine jobs.
Theres a huge heroin problem in this area.
With Rexs help, weve made 247 drug-related
arrests and recovered evidence in armed robberies. Hes tracked and located several people;
completed 75 building searches; assisted every
agency in this area and surrounding counties,
and worked with federal agencies. Hes helped
us seize synthetic marijuana, heroin, marijuana,
prescription pills, methamphetamines, meth
precursors, bath salts, cocaine, crack cocaine,
drug paraphernalia, money and vehicles.
Mitch says he and Rex try to do some kind
of training nearly every night while on duty if
theyre able.
We do obedience, tracking or some other

kind of exercise, he says. Some nights were


just too busy, but I like to keep him sharp and
dont want him to forget anything hes learned.
He says they also train occasionally with
K-9s and their handlers from neighboring police and county sheriffs departments.
Weve nearly all taken our training from the
same kennel, so we all have the same school of
thought, he says. That helps us work together
and keep our dogs in good working condition.
It benefits everyone to do it that way.
While Rex will probably retire in the next
couple years, Mitch plans to keep working for
the police department.
I wont get another dog, though, he says.
Rex is technically the property of the City of
Defiance. Ill probably buy him back and let
him live out the rest of his life with us. I just
dont think I could ever bond with another K-9.
Weve been together too long and been through
too much for me to get another partner.

One of the primary purposes
of Severe Weather Awareness
Week is to encourage residents
to learn what to do to prepare
for and recover from natural and
home disasters, Bohn said.
Everyone should know that a
tornado watch means conditions
are right for a tornado to develop, said Bohn. We also need
to know that a tornado warning
means a tornado is occurring or
is imminent and it is imperative
to seek immediate shelter.
People of Paulding County
need to know what to do to take
the proper steps to protect their
families and homes before disasters strike, continued Bohn.
One of the most important
things is to prepare a home tornado plan. Pick an uncluttered

place in your home that is on the


lowest floor with no windows.
The safest place is in the basement under the staircase.
In the event of a tornado
warning near you, your household should know where to go
in order to stay safe, Bohn said.
Practice tornado drills at home
at least twice a year.
Assemble a disaster supply
kit. Include a first aid kit, essential medications, canned food,
can opener, water (one gallon
per person per day for at least
three days), protective clothing,
bedding, battery-operated radio,
flashlight, extra batteries and
any special needs items, said
Bohn.
Bohn said that the importance
of assembling the disaster kit is
in case electricity is knocked out

by a severe storm. He noted that


it is not unusual for electricity to
be knocked out anywhere from a
few hours to even days, depending on the severity of a storm. In
order to protect home and property against high winds, remove
diseased or damaged limbs from
trees, move or secure lawn furniture, trash cans and anything
else that could become a projectile if picked up by the wind.
Bohn noted that the state
EMA is advocating that those
building or remodeling a home
consider the establishment of a
safe room.
If you are building a new
home or remodeling, ask about
having a structurally reinforced
space constructed for your familys protection during a tornado
or high winds, Bohn said.

March! This year is going


way too fast for me!
Daughter Verena and I just
came in from milking our new
cow, Bessie, and doing the
outside chores. Son Joseph
usually takes care of feeding
the horses. I left the school
children sleep later this morning so there wasnt enough
time. We are getting plenty of
milk from Bessie.
I havent milked a cow
since I was married almost 22
years ago. It was fun to milk a
cow again but not something
I want to do daily. The boys
have been milking Bessie at
night. Until Joseph gets faster
at it, Verena and I usually milk
her in the mornings. I can feel
my arms arent used to it anymore.
When I was seven years old
I started helping to milk our
cows at home. Every morning and evening we had 12 to
14 cows we milked by hand.
When Joe and I were married
my parents gave us a milk cow,
but Joe always milked her as I
was always busy with the little children. Now our children
arent so little anymore; this
makes a person sometimes
wish time would slow down.
Friday evening quite a few
people attended the birthday
party for niece Salome at the
community building. Our
family attended and so did
Timothy and Mose. Guests
played basketball and volleyball and also other games.
Some of us sat and visited
after supper. The community

Two long sad years ago you


left us to go to your heavenly
home, but you remain in
our hearts forever.
We loved you so much.
Chris & Dawn Bussing & family

& family

Joes sister Christine, Jake,


and nine children came here
for the night after the birthday
supper. They were here until
Saturday afternoon.
Saturday morning for breakfast we had biscuits, sausage
gravy, scrambled eggs, cheese,
hot peppers, coffee, milk, grape
juice, and rhubarb juice.
For the noon meal Joe and
Mose grilled ham and hot
wings. Jake and his sons froze
ice cream. Christine mixed the
ingredients for the ice cream.
We used the cream off of our
cows milk. It sure makes so
much better tasting ice cream.
I also made a pasta casserole to
have with the grilled meat and
ice cream.
The forenoon was spent
playing games. Verena also
had some friends over so there
were plenty of people to play
games.
Matthew (Jake and Christines son) and son Kevin had
a hard time going to sleep
Friday evening. They were
so excited about being able to
spend the night together.
Daughter Susan took Edwin
and Rosetta (Jake and Christines two youngest children)
for a pony ride with Tiger, our
pony. Matthew and Kevin also
went along. It was a cold ride

sichs proposed executive budget.


Governor Kasich is proposing a 25 percent cut in ESC
funding over the next two years.
During the past four years, the
governor has been advocating
shared services to reduce cost.
Western Buckeye ESC has reduced the cost to our partner
schools through a shared services delivery model.
The governors proposal of
a 25 percent funding cut will
negatively impact our ability
to reduce costs by sharing services. Without a shared services
model, its possible our partner
schools will see an increase in
their spending throughout the
next two years.
Shared service delivery includes sharing speech, occupational, and physical therapists.
We share school psychologists,
gifted education personnel, and
grant writing personnel. ESCs
provide curriculum directors
and special education directors
to meet the needs of our partner
schools, said Gerber.
Other ESC instructional services include itinerant special
education and related services
staff, paraprofessional support, preschool special education support, 21st century after-school programs, and alternative schools.
The Alternative School tailors curriculum around emotionally disabled students to
meet their specific learning
needs. It serves those students
who need to recover credits in
order to meet graduation requirements, continued Gerber.
The administration and staff at

The family of Madonna Koenn would like to thank everyone


who sent memorials, cards and prayers to our family in our
time of loss. A special thanks to the Paulding County Hospital
Home Health Dept, Dr. Halachanova and staff for their years
of care which allowed us to keep Mom at home.
We would also like to thank Father Poggemeyer and our
Divine Mercy Parish family for the liturgy, funeral dinner
and support. Thanks also to Jack and the staff of Den Herder
Funeral Home for their care, kindness and attention to every
detail. Words fall short of expressing our appreciation.
The family of Madonna Koenn

alternative/opportunity schools
work together with partner
schools to support and develop
a standards-based curriculum
that will allow students to succeed and graduate.
This is directly related to the
economic vitality of our community and state. These students
range from the most gifted to the
most at-risk, including special
needs students and other at-risk
populations such as dropouts
and adjudicated youth, he said.
Gerber said, Ive been in this
business long enough to know
the governors proposed executive budget is a process. Hopefully good common sense will
continue to prevail over radical
thinking. The most frustrating
thing about this issue is that
Ohio is much healthier financially than it was in the previous four years. With all factors
in consideration, the 25 percent
funding cut makes little sense.
WBESC action items included:
a one-year extension of a
limited contract to Jenna StollerSherry as physical therapist for
the 2015-16 school year, contingent upon receiving licensure,
for 190 days with salary set at
$61,750.

Random acts
of dedication
appreciated

Dear Editor,
Its easy to find stories
of public service that leave
us aggravated. But I have a
story of over achievement to
share. My son is in the third
grade at Paulding Elementary this year. The state has
implemented a test for his
grade called the PARCC. I
can tell that as time goes by
he is starting to question if
hes ready or not. On a recent
Friday the third grade teachers volunteered their time to
organize a test fun night after
school for the kids. My son

came home that night and told


me all about the fun learning
stations they had set up and
snacks they provided. I could
tell that he had a great time
and felt more prepared for the
test.
The teachers deserve a big
thank you for that one. I think
random acts of dedication like
this are probably easer to find
than we think in our school
but I chose this one because
it left such a positive impression on my son.
I just wanted to get out
front and thank these teachers first, as I am sure that the
school board and superintendent will be swooning over
them ... Right?

Music! Music! Music!


One thing that has always
been a big part ofpeoples
life is music. Everyone sings
at one time or another. Singing can be heard in the shower, car, school, church and
at home. Music ispresented
by radio, television, DVDs,
mp3s,
computers,
iPods
andcell phones.
When I was about 3 years
old, I sang my first song in
church. I remember the songI
sang was, Hand in Hand With
Jesus. I grew up in a church
going family and music was
a big part of our church services. It was in churchthat I
learned from different musiciansthe different chords and
chord changes.
I remember Grandma had an
old upright piano and an old
record player in the parlor. I
would shut myself in that room
for hours, picking out songs on
the piano and practicing. Of
course I learned gospel music
first, but when the old 50s
rock and roll and Elvis came
along, I fell in love with it.
I would go upstairs after
school, turn on the radio and
pretend I was rocking and
rolling with Jerry Lee Lewis. Now Grandma didnt like
the new rock and roll when it
came around, so I would have
to sneak around to hear it.
Those old rock and roll songs
I listened to and learned then,
I still play today.
Stop and think about the
power of a song. Each animal makes some type of
sound whether it is growling,
chirping, hissing or croaking.
A song can make us laugh or
cry. A song can calm a crying

A Penny for
Your Thoughts

By
Nancy Whitaker
baby or soothe a troubled soul.
I do believe our lives are influenced by songs and music.
If you ever go to a parade,
one of the first great sounds
you hear is that ofa school
band playing and marching in
time to the music. There are
so many talented singers and
musicians around and they are
not all in Nashville. They are
in our schools, churches, nursing homes and senior centers.
Maybe you dont claim to be
a great singer, but I bet everyone sometime during the day
either hums or whistles a tune.
One thing that has always
comforted me is music. I must
not be alone in my thinking
because the following quotes
have been said about music.
Just as Jesus created wine
from water, we humans are capable of transmuting emotion
into music. Carlos Santana
Music can change the
world because it can change
people. Bono, U2
Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and

philosophy. Music is the electrical soil in which the spirit


lives, thinks and invents.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Music does bring people
together. It allows us to experience the same emotions. People everywhere are the same
in heart and spirit. No matter
what language we speak, what
color we are, the form of our
politics or the expression of
our love and our faith, music
proves: We are the same.
John Denver
Music washes away from
the soul the dust of everyday
life. Berthold Auerbach
Do you know that our soul
is composed of harmony?
Leonardo DaVinci
I think music in itself is
healing. Its an explosive expression of humanity. Its
something we are all touched
by. No matter what culture
were from, everyone loves
music. Billy Joel
There have been times in
the past year that certain songs
have brought tears to my eyes
and others have put a smile
on my face. The Bible says to
Make a joyful noise unto the
Lord. So even if you think
you cannot sing, we can still
make a noise.
Do you sing in the shower?
Do you like music? Do you
think music plays an important part in our lives, past, present and future? Let me know
and Ill give you a Penny for
Your Thoughts.
(Next week in Penny for
Your Thoughts, it will be fun
to go back and name some of
the number one songs during
certain decades.)

Milkweed: A vital plant


for monarch butterflies
By Staci Miller
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
The common milkweed
plant is often considered a
bothersome weed that grows in
gardens and along ditch banks,
but it does serve an important
purpose for monarch butterflies.
The milkweed plant is the only
food source for monarch butterflies and they couldnt survive
without this food source. The
milkweed is also a primary food
source to other insects. Female
monarch butterflies lay their eggs
on the leaves of milkweed plants.
Planting milkweed is a great
way to help other pollinators
too, as milkweed provides nectar resources to a diverse variety
of bees and butterflies. Common
milkweed, when broken apart,
lets out a milky sap. This sap has
poisons in it, called cardiac glycosides. Some animals can eat the
glycosides and not be harmed,
but please note this sap is poisonous to livestock and humans if
consumed.
Once the monarchs caterpillar
eats on the leaves of milkweed,
the glycosides goes into its body,
making the caterpillar poisonous
to predators. Even after the caterpillar has changed into an adult
butterfly, it keeps the glycosides
in its body, protecting it from being eaten by predictors.
Common milkweed can grow
up to 6 feet tall. It has large, broad
leaves, usually 4 to 10 inches
long. They sometimes have red
veins.
Common milkweed flowers
are pinkish-purple clusters and
bloom from June to August.

The milkweed plant is the only food source for monarch butterflies. Milkweed can grow to 6 feet tall and is an excellent option to attract monarchs to the garden area.
Their fruits are green pods which
turn brown before bursting open
to let out fluffy seeds.
The plant releases a sweet
fragrance in air while its
blooming. If you are interested in attracting more monarch

butterflies to your garden or


property then planting some
milkweed would be a great option for you.

Lost can be a
pretty scary place
HOMESPUN

By
JIM LANGHAM
for what seemed like an eternity.
Minute by minute, I had a sense
of becoming part of something
catastrophic, wondering where I
was really headed.
It got so bad that I opened my
car door to see where I was; twice
I was on the edge of the ditch on
the wrong side of the road. Once,
I just stopped in trapped fear, having no idea where I was. When the
wind briefly abated, I was sitting
right beside a mail box with an old
farmhouse to my left and two trees
across the road from me.
As I sat there in the midst of
what seemed like nowhere, my
mind drifted back to stories I had
read about Great Plains blizzards,
how students would start toward
country schools on balmy morn-

ings. Then, on their way home,


a sudden blizzard would roar in
and they would immediately be
trapped and lost in the blizzard.
Many wondered in the wrong direction, some to freeze and never
make it home.
I recall seeing pictures of a
North Dakota blizzard earlier this
winter where hundreds of cattle
had perished near a gate where
they were trying to escape their
atrocious fate. For just a moment,
I had a sense of this is what it
must feel like. I shivered in disbelief, but continued to follow
my instincts, toward the north
and west, with my car flashers
going.
Suddenly, I saw what appeared
to be a church steeple and grain
mill, just in front of me in the
road. Shocked by my experience, I wondered what town was
ahead of me. To my relief, I saw,
Payne, my town on the sign.
It had been an hour and a half to
drive what is normally a 20-minute drive.
As I pulled into my driveway,
I was still numb from the feeling
of being lost, trapped and seeking direction in the midst of the
storm. For a moment, I sat and
meditated about those who had
never made it home in old-time
blizzards and nearly weeping at
the sight of my home in front of
me.

For the third weekend in the


row, we were visited by an extra-atmospheric experience
mainly snow. A Sunday snow left
us with Currier and Ives photo
potential with lots of beautiful
scenes.
That wasnt so a couple of
weeks ago when I was trapped in
such wicked blizzard conditions
that I began to wonder if I would
ever find myself home.
Early that morning, I had driven to Van Wert for a couple of appointments. Snow showers with
windy conditions were in the
forecast. However, I dont think
anyone in the area anticipated
what was about to happen.
I was sitting in someones living room in Van Wert. Suddenly,
the gentleman I was with and myself looked out his bay window in
astounded shock. It was blowing
and snowing so hard outside that
we couldnt even see the boundaries of his quaint estate.
For minutes, I sat there with a
touch of fear in my heart, wondering what was happening and
whether or not it was something
that wasnt supposed to happen.
Finally, the wind started to
calm a bit and some visibility was
starting to return. I left, intending
to take US 30 to Fort Wayne to
visit someone in the hospital.
But as I drove to the edge of Van
Wert, it started to happen all over
again, but this time seemingly
worse. Winds rocked my car
and blinding snow squalls combined with drifting snow from the
fields to completely close off my
roads. I fumbled on without any
comprehension of where I was. I
quickly became lost but was determined to get home.
I started angling myself to
what I thought was the north
and west, hoping to finally come
across some landmark or road
sign that would tell me where I
was. The raging winds continued

Superior self-seeders
I think the weather has
turned and soon well be
on our hands and knees,
dropping tiny seeds in the soil
and waiting for little green
seedlings to emerge. Many of
us are starting tender plants
by seed inside about now, just
to get a jump on things.
When youre thinking
about what to plant by seed
this spring, you might want
to be forward-thinking about
it and consider that there are
some annuals that behave like
perennials. Sowing seeds of
those varieties can mean that
you dont have to sow those
seeds ever again. Saving
yourself some work sounds
good, right?
Most annuals are just that
plants that live out their entire
life cycle for a single growing
season and then you have to
plant them all over again the
following year. But there are
many annuals that will very
reliably self-seed if you let
them. Here are some of my
favorites that you might want
to try this year.
Baby
Blue
Eyes
(Nemophila menziesii) Very
few flowers have a true blue
color, but this is one that
certainly does. The flowers are
about an inch or so across and
the plants are groundcover
height (4-6 inches), but dont
let their small size fool you.
A patch of these in full bloom
will make your heart happy.
Five-Spot
(Nemophila
maculata) As you might
guess from the identical
genus names, this one is a
cousin to Baby Blue Eyes
and its blooms have a similar
appearance. Instead of being a
solid color blue though, FiveSpot is white with a purple
polka dot on each of its five
petals, hence the name.
Love-in-a-Mist (Nigella
damascena ) The airy, fernlike foliage on this annual is
pretty enough, but its flowers
come in varying shades of
purple, blue, white, pink,
and lavender. Attractive at a
distance, a closer look at the
flowers details will make you
appreciate them even more.
Tall Verbena (Verbena
bonariensis) There probably
isnt a single annual that

In the
Garden

By
Kylee Baumle
butterflies adore more than
this one. Some butterflies have
their preferences for sure, but
I think Ive seen every single
type sipping nectar from this
verbena in my own garden.
The purple flower clusters are
small, but they sit atop strong,
tall stems.
Snow-on-the-Mountain
(Euphorbia marginata) Not
to be confused with snowin-summer, this poinsettia
relative is another tall annual.
The feature that really shines
here isnt the blooms, but the
foliage. It has a bluish cast to
it, with upper leaves variegated
with white. On a moonlit night,
this plant glows. Be careful
handling it though, especially
if youre allergic to latex. I
dont have problems with it,
but its white sap can cause a
skin reaction.
There are several edibles
that are prolific self-seeders as
well. Once you plant these, if
you let them go to seed, youll

have them year after year.


Lettuce (Lactuca sativa)
As the season really heats up,
lettuce tends to get bitter and it
bolts, meaning it sets seed. If
you want to grow lettuce again
the next year, let the process
continue so that the plants will
drop seed. Be sure to replenish
the soil with nutrients for the
next years plants though.
Dill (Anethum graveolens)
I grow dill not just as an edible
for us, but also as a host plant
for the swallowtail butterflies.
Each year I have many of
their caterpillars that feed on
both the dill and the parsley.
They like to lay their eggs on
bronze fennel too, which Ive
also grown specifically for that
purpose.
Tomatoes (Solanum spp.)
Anyone who has ever grown
tomatoes, especially the cherry
varieties, knows that there will
be no shortage of volunteer
plants the next year. If you
grow a couple of different
varieties, the volunteers may
be a little different from what
you grew, if they happened to
cross-pollinate. How fun is
that?
Of course, if you dont want
any of these to grow in the same
location the following year,
you can always collect the seed
and plant it somewhere else.

audit report
502reviews
Main St., Haviland
PAULDING Auditors were
on hand from the accounting
firm BKD LLP to present the
Paulding County Hospital Board
of Trustees with the annual audit
findings. The state requires that
public entities are audited annually.
Mark Blessing, partner and
Michael Earls, director with
BKD presented an overview of
the audit findings. The hospital
exceeded industry averages for
key indicators such as cash on
hand, ratio of assets/liabilities,
and ratio of income/revenue.

It was noted that there was an


increase in account receivable
days due to implementation of
the new computer system. However, the increase was consistent
with industry averages.
The responses that the hospital made to adapt to decreasing
reimbursement were successful
in preserving the hospitals financial position. Those changes
enabled the hospital to exceed
breakeven and post a very small
gain.
The financial report is available for public inspection at the

SPORTS
3 SECTIONAL CHAMPS
Antwerp Archers hit sectional title bullseye
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter

jshouse@progressnewspaper.org

PAULDING It was Paulding


County night as all three schools walked
away with sectional titles last Friday.
Wayne Trace was expected to win easily over North Central and Paulding was
a slight favorite to defeat Liberty Center, but the Antwerp Archers probably
raised a few eyebrows when people
saw their final score.
Stryker, a team that defeated the
blue-and-white back on January 10
by 11 points ran into an Archers team
that was aiming for a turnaround. The
Archers came through, this time, with
their own 11-point win 65-54 to claim
the schools 10th sectional crown.
Antwerp took advantage of their free
throw attempts to put Stryker away. At
the line, the Archers finished the night
hitting 27 of 32 attempts while their
opponent was good on just eight of 10.
It was another performance that
shined at the foul line as well as a solid
zone defense, and a determination to
out play their opponent. Stryker, who
features one of the best players in the

area in 6-foot-5 Parker Ruffer, found it


difficult to get untracked in the game.
Although the areas leading scorer finished with 23, he had to work for every
point.
Thats what we wanted to do. We
wanted to make it as tough on Parker
as possible and we did that, said Antwerp head coach TJ Hammer.
In what was billed as a team effort,
it was the defense of Trenton Copsey,
Josh Longardner and Trey Mills that
slowed down Ruffer.
Im used to playing against guys
taller than me and so I was behind him
(Ruffer) and Copsey would front him,
It wasnt easy but I think we did a good
job, said Longardner.
After snipping a portion of the net
during the post game celebration, Trey
Mills looked like the Energizer Bunny
as he enjoyed celebrating the Antwerp
win. Just a sophomore, and standing
maybe 5-foot-8 if he stretches while
holding his breath, Mills usually finds
himself playing out of position due to
his size. Often times against Stryker he
would follow Ruffer everywhere he
went and was successful in disrupting

his game.
Mills finished with just four points,
but they were critical free throws
where he was perfect on his four attempts.
I know that I am usually the shorter
guy going for a rebound but I was determined to go to the boards knowing
that every rebound would be another opportunity for a shot and possible
score. Tonight we were prepared and
we stayed focus the whole game,
Mills said.
Matt Jones delivered a huge 3-pointer in the second quarter and then
drained five of six from the foul line
in the final stanza to finish with eight.
Jones along with Sam Williamson are
the two who take care of the basketball out front and against Stryker they
found the pressure to be challenging.
Im only a sophomore and there
were times I felt a little nervous because every possession was so important but it wasnt just me out there, it
was a total team effort and everyone
stepped up their game. This is a great
feeling, said Jones as he walked near
center court after the team picture.

It was another night that Archer fans


have come to expect as of late. The
play of senior Trenton Copsey and junior Sam Williamson who is one of the
top 1-2 tandems in the area. Williamson finished with 25 and Copsey added 24. Williamson connected on one of
his patented buzzer-beaters to close out
the first half to add to the 7-0 Archer
run to widen the Antwerp lead 29-20 at
intermission.
Patiently waiting his turn to cut
down a piece of the victory net, Williamson who very seldom shows
much expression when he is launching
3-pointers or grabbing rebounds, was
all smiles.
I got to do this as a freshman and
so its nice to get back and cut the net
again. This is great. We worked hard
and tonight it all came together for us,
said Williamson.
For Copsey, the teams lone senior,
jumped out of the gate with 10 first
quarter points. A Copsey quick start is
a confidence builder according to the
6-foot-4 Archer center.
The good start was important. We
knew we hadnt played well at the close

of the season and so we told ourselves


this is a new season, the slate is clean
and we came in here with the right mind
set and beat them, said Copsey.
As Archer fans continued to enjoy the
moment and pictures were being taken,
Coach Hammer managed to compose
himself to simply say, I am so proud of
this team. Its great to be an Archer but
its a little extra special to be an Archer
tonight.
Stryker finishes the season at 15-9
while the Archers survive and advance.
Standing 10-14 with a sectional title the
blue-and-white moves on to the Division IV Van Wert district.

Back-to-back sectional
titles for Panthers
By JIM LANGHAM
Sportswriter
WAUSEON For the second year in a row, Paulding
boys blossoming basketball
program came through at the

right time to capture a Division III sectional title at Wauseon on Friday. The Panthers
held off a stubborn Liberty
Center squad, 55-51, to claim
the title.

Senior Treston Gozales and


junior Alex Arellano each
bucketed 18 points to lead the
Panther attack. In addition,
quick guard Corbin Edwards
slashed and drove with his traditional quickness to pocket
11 points towards the Paulding victory.
This is our senior year. We
wanted to do everything that
we could to win this sectional, said Gonzales.
Early on, Gonzales went
on a tear and bucketed 12
pointsinitially to lead his team
to a 23-22 halftime advantage.
Concerning his early rampage at the scoreboard, Gonzales said, We wanted to do
whatever it took to win this.
Another senior, Brad Crawford, had significant floor play,
especially late in the contest to
help the Panthers keep the Tigers in check. Like Gonzales,
Crawford said that team members wanted to keep playing.
We didnt want to stop
here. We wanted to keep on
going. We want to play again
next week, noted Crawford.
This is amazing, said senior Ben Heilshorn. This
is so exciting. This is a great
thing for the seniors and for
the team.
We werent going to give
up, added the squads other

great team effort by our guys
tonight.
After the two squads deadlocked, 14-14, at the end of
the first quarter, the Panthers
out-paced the Tigers, 9-8, in
the second stanza. Paulding
jumped into the second half by
bucketing nine of the quarters
first 11 points to grab a 32-24
advantage. Then, Liberty Center drew back to within 34-30,
but a Corbin Edwards layup
with a minute left in the quarter expanded Pauldings lead
once again to 39-31.
The final drama occurred
with 44 seconds left in the
game and Paulding on top,
53-47. LC scored two quick
buckets to close the gap to 5351 with 18 seconds remaining.
Two free throws by Paulding
near the end finally netted the
title for the local squad.
Paulding head coach Shawn
Brewer said that he had nothing but praise for his squads
ability to once again face adversity and hang on for the
win.
We still had some lulls and
almost got ourselves in trouble, but our guys were able to
fight through each of those to
keep the lead and get the win,

Raiders claim sectional


title over North Central
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
PAULDING It wasnt the prettiest of victories for the Wayne Trace boys basketball
team but the Raiders cruised to a 69-34 win
over North Central in the Division IV sectional tournament at Paulding High School Friday
night.
Wayne Trace took advantage of 33 Eagle
turnovers in the contest to improve to 21-1 on
the season and post the schools 20th sectional
championship.
The Raiders scored the final nine points of
the first quarter to open a 20-6 advantage after
one quarter. Wayne Trace out-rebounded the
Eagles 13-5 in the stanza and forced eight Eagle turnovers to grab control.
Our pressure was effective tonight, commented Raider head coach Jim Linder. It
wasnt our best game of the season but we
played well in stretches. We have to be better
on Tuesday against an Antwerp team that is
playing well right now.
Following a 3-pointer by North Centrals
Josh Sawyer to open the second quarter scoring, Wayne Trace picked up the next six points
to extend the lead to 26-9. The Raiders went
on to post a 36-16 advantage at the intermis-

sion, despite hitting only 14 of 36 shots in the


first half (39 percent).
We didnt shoot the ball extremely well tonight but we had different guys step up and hit
shots, Linder continued.
The second half saw the Raiders continue to
widen the lead, opening it up to 57-28 at the
end of three quarters.
Six players scored for Wayne Trace in the
third quarter, led by Corbin Linder with eight
points. Jake Arend (six), Ethan Linder (three),
Cole Shepherd (two), Luke Miller (one) and
Alec Vest (one) also found the scoring column.
Miller then opened the final period with
back-to-back 3-pointers as the Raiders cruised
the rest of the way to the victory.
Ethan Linder paced Wayne Trace with 15
points while Miller and Corbin Linder added
a dozen points each.
Cole Shepherd had another big game for the
Raiders, chipping in six points while grabbing
a team-high 10 rebounds.
Corbin Linder also broke the schools career
record for steals in Fridays victory. The senior guard picked up five steals to move to 162

TROY Two Wayne Trace


wrestlers qualified for the state meet
and will return to Columbus for another opportunity to improve on last
years showing.
At last weekends district meet
at Hobart Arena in Troy, both Tyler
Showalter and George Clemens
managed to wrestle through the
competition to advance. Showlter
took third place in the 145 weight
class while teammate George Clemens finished fourth at 120.
For Showalter, a senior for the
Raider contingent, it was an easy
first round win over Brandon Howard from Preble Shawnee 20-5 before stumbling in the second round
to Trevor Anderson from West Liberty-Salem in an 8-5 decision.
The set back forced Showalter
to move to the consolation round
where he fought his way back into
contention.
The Raider pinned Lima Central Catholic junior Joseph Eisele
in 1:15, then defeated Mariemonts
Riley Henderson 13-6 to reach the
consolation semifinals.
With a top four finish in the balance and a trip to the state, Showalter managed to pin Versailles junior
Corey Dieringer in 2:05. With a trip
to Columbus secure, Showalker put
his stamp of approval on the day
with a third place win over Jake
McCarthy from Purcell Marian, a
pin in 1:37.
This may be the greatest feeling ever. Sure, I love football, but
in wrestling, its all on you. When
your hand is raised, you know that
without the help of anyone else, you
have accomplished something, and
that is the best feeling ever, commented Showalter after his go to
match win.
For 120 pound George Clemens, it was another easy first round,
needing just 29 seconds to pin Dakota Whaley from North College
Hills. Clemens continued to make
his way through his bracket by defeating Michael Sergent from Troy
Christian 6-2. The win put Clemens
in the semi final round.
In his go-to-state match, Clemens fell to Bethel-Tates Aric Peters
9-3, forcing Clemens to the consolation round.
Waiting in the round was Lincolnview senior Alex Rodriguez
with the winner heading to the next
level in Columbus. A much fresher
Clemens had little trouble getting
past his opponent who had wrestled in two earlier consolation round
matches. Clemens wrestled past
Rodriguez easily 15-2 in a major
decision.
With a top four showing and a
trip to Columbus in hand, Clemens lost to Mechaniscburgs Tanner

Smith.
For sophomore Ruger Goeltzenleuchter, a fifth place finish was in
order for the Raider who had gone
through the regular season undefeated. With fifth place Goeltzenleuchter has earned an alternate spot
at the 126 pound weight class.
After winning his two matches on Friday, Goeltzenleuchter
appeared ready to advance in the
Saturday competition. However,
a loss in his go-to-state match to
Dayton Christians Hunter Bray,
followed by a consolation loss to
to Milton-Union sophomore Kamron Paulus, 5-1, it was now a time
to wrestle for pride. For fifth place,
Goeltzenleuchter rebounded and
dominated Versailles Tanner Bey
14-2.
Goeltzenleuchter would be
one win short again of making his
dream come true.
He is the hardest worker in the
room and in the off season. If anyone deserves a trip to Columbus,
Ruger does, commented Coach
Clemens.
Other Raiders who qualified for
district competition included freshman heavyweight Quinton Stabler
who was stopped in his two matches in the 285 weight class.
Senior Jacob Dingus was winless in his two attempts in the

came to a close for Cotterman when
Covingtons sophomore Lance
Miller, came up with the win.
Wow, to have those two come
into the toughest district and find
a way to get it done again. This is
Georges third year in a row, and
Tylers second year to wrestle in the
Schott. As a coach, you want to see
your wrestlers best performance. As
excited as I am for those two, then
you have a workhorse like Ruger.
Always working, always wrestling,
always trying to improve and he
wrestles amazing but falls a little
short. Sometimes, down here, you
can do everything great, and it still
isnt enough. I really feel for him, but
he will learn from this and he will get
better, stated Coach Clemens.

Poor shooting costs WT

Archers shoot down Blackbirds


Erin Mohr hits 1,000 point mark with 4th quarter free throws

By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
ARCHBOLD Wayne
Trace was unable to overcome
a poor shooting night as the
Raiders dropped a 49-40 decision to state-ranked Pettisville
in Division IV girls district
basketball action last Thursday in Archbold.
The Raiders hit only 5 of 29
shots in the first half (17 percent) and finished the night a
cool 14 of 54 (26 percent) as
Wayne Trace saw its season
end with a record of 16-9.
Pettisville came into the
game allowing an average
of 31 points a night and the
Blackbirds took advantage of
poor shooting and controlled
the boards in the first half in
posting a 19-11 halftime lead.
Defensively, I thought
we did a good job of finding
shooters and not giving them
second chances, commented
Pettisville head coach Jason
Waldvogel. Wayne Trace
presents a lot of problems
with their good shooters outside and with the way they
have shown they can rebound.
I thought we did a good job in
both areas tonight.
The night did have history,
though, on the Wayne Trace
side of things as junior Erin
Mohr scored at the 6:29 mark
of the first quarter to break
the 1,000 point mark for her
career. Mohr will enter her
senior season next year with
1,009 points. Mohr is the third
girl and 10th overall basketball player at Wayne Trace to
break the 1,000 point mark for
a career.
With the Blackbirds on top
10-8 late in the opening stanza, a 3-pointer from Alexa
Leppelmeier and a basket by
Dana Fricke put Pettisville in
front 15-8 after eight minutes
of action.
The top-seeded Blackbirds
then widened the margin to
19-8 in the second quarter following buckets by Leppelmeier and Fricke.
Wayne Trace tried to get the
momentum back late in the
first half, getting a 3-pointer
by Shayna Temple to trim the
deficit to 19-11 at the break.
We had some good looks
at the basket but we werent
able to take advantage and
hit shots, noted Raider head

coach Bethany Hughes. I
thought the girls battled all
night long and we worked our
way back into the basketball
game.
Pettisville pushed the lead
to as much as 31-17 in the
third quarter before one of
two foul shots by Gracie Gudakunst and a 3-pointer from
Leah Sinn got Wayne Trace
within 31-21.
A pair of Jordyn Pursel foul
shots, though, gave the Blackbirds a 33-21 lead entering the
final quarter.
It was a good team win
for us, Waldvogel continued. That is a good basketball team and they are a
young team on top of that.
We knew they were very capable of competing tonight
but I thought our girls really
stepped up and took advantage
of what they gave us.
The Blackbirds expanded
the margin to as much as 3721 early in the fourth quarter on a Fricke bucket before
Wayne Trace made one final
run.

By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
PAULDING With the beginning of the second season, the Antwerp Archers faced
the same team they opened the
regular season against Pettisville.
Back in early December,
the Archers came away with a
12-point win over the Blackbirds, but it is now a new season with each team playing 20plus games since that opening
night.

Antwerp
used
perfection from the foul line in the
fourth quarter to outlast their
opponent 47-37 in the Division IV sectional at Paulding. Heading into the final
eight minutes with the Archers
clinging to a 29-28 lead, the
blue-and-white scored just one
field goal, a 3-pointer from
Sam Williamson, but it was
free throws down the stretch
that powered the Archers to
victory.
Williamson, who did not
attempt a shot in the third
quarter, came up huge for the
Archers with a 4-point play
with 2:17 remaining and the
Archers trailing by one.
The 6-foot junior drained a
3-pointer from the corner and
was fouled in the process. After hitting the free toss, the Archers were on top 35-32, a lead
they would not give up.
In the final period, both Williamson and Matt Jones went
to the foul line 15 times connecting on all 15 attempts.
After the game, head coach
TJ Hammer was reminded of
the free throw perfection.
I didnt realize that. Well,
its that kind of performance
that wins games, he said.
It appeared the Archers
would bury the Blackbirds
early with a huge first quarter
lead. Up 11-4, sophomore Trey
Mills connected on a 3-pointer
and then followed it up with
another triple from the corner
as the horn sounded ending the
first quarter and the blue-andwhite in control, 17-4.
Williamson collected a
3-pointer to open the second

Gudakunst ignited the Raider spurt with a basket before


two Mohr buckets closed the
deficit to 39-27.
After two free throws by
Avina, Temple hit four straight
foul shots and a Mohr basket
trimmed the Blackbird lead to
41-33.
Pettisville, though, wouldnt
be denied. The Blackbirds
stepped to the free throw line
and hit seven of eight foul
shots, all by Avina, to expand
the lead back to 48-33 and seal
the victory.
I am proud of our effort,
Hughes concluded. The
girls played their hearts out
and they have nothing to be
ashamed of. We need to build
off of this and use this next
year as motivation to improve
on this season.
Mohr paced Wayne Trace
with 12 points while Gudakunst chipped in 10 and Temple added nine. Gudakunst
also led the Raiders on the
boards with nine while Mohr
picked up six and Temple five.
Temple also had seven steals
on the night while Mohr recorded three. Temple and Gudakunst each dished out two
assists.
Fricke topped the Blackbirds with 17 points followed
by Avina with 15 and Pursel
adding 10. Fricke also recorded nine boards for Pettisville,
which finished the night outrebounding the Raiders 36-32
including 22-15 in the first
half.
The Blackbirds were 13 of
35 from the field (37 percent)
and Pettisville hit 20 of 28
foul shots (71 percent). Wayne
Trace made 9 of 13 free throws
(69 percent). The Raiders did
have fewer turnovers, 10-14.
