share concerns
in crash on US 127
over calamity
days, PARCC tests
By SAMANTHA HABERN
Correspondent
PAULDING Making up lost days, frustration with PARCC
testing, additional discussion about eighth grade graduation and
continued controversy surrounding a former teacher (see related
story) were among the topics before the Paulding Exempted Village School Board in its regular meeting on Monday, March 23.
Several teachers and parents appeared before the board to discuss calamity days and PARCC tests.
With the calamity days, many are confused as to why the school
is making up so many hours when it is clearly past the minimum
set by the state. As one teacher pointed out, the minimum number
of hours set by the state that a school has to go is 5.5 while Paulding Schools goes 6.5.
Many teachers even feel under-appreciated as all the hours they
put in outside of class go unnoticed and their two-hour delays do
not count.
Many opposed the new resolution that would allow superintendent William Hanak to determine make-up time for the school

Vance, PEVS board square National Champions

off again over memorials
By JOE SHOUSE
Progress Staff Writer
PAULDING - With a standing
room only crowd of concerned
citizens and onlookers, the Paulding Exempted Village school
board again faced a familiar face
and a situation that continues
to create controversy as well as
many unanswered questions.
Barry Vance, a Paulding resident his entire life, approached
the board again as he did one
year ago concerning the handling of the $280,000 estate that
was originated by former teacher
Don Schnepp. Following the
death of Schnepp, the funds were
passed on to his sister, Bev Saylor, and upon her death the funds
were presented to the Paulding Schools, at the request of
Schnepp prior to his death. Specifically, the estate funds were to
be used within the middle school
in memory of Schnepp.
Vance alleges that Schnepp
sexually violated him as a young
student within the school property and has brought the allegations to the school board on more
than one occasion. At a board
meeting last spring, a second victim came before the board claiming that Schnepp also sexually
abused him. David Kincaid told
the board that like Vance, he too
was abused by Schnepp.
Vance believes there are others
who are victims but are afraid to
come forward. Vance has been
in contact recently with one who
resides in Michigan who is still
dealing with the idea of coming
forward and sharing his story.
During the board meeting
on Monday evening, nearly 45
minutes was given to Vance to
again bring forth his displeasure
over the handling of the estate
gift. Many questions were asked
by Vance but little response was
made on behalf of the board.

The first question that Vance
wanted an answer for was about
the memorial rock bearing the
Schnepp name that once stood
near the entrance to the school.
It is the desire of Vance as well
as Kinkade that the rock be destroyed with no opportunity to
ever be on display again.
I dont know where it is, said
Foltz. Board vice president Mark
Manz echoed the same response.
Vance also was upset that
money from the Saylor/Schnepp
estate was being used for memorials in Schnepps name.
The electric sign on the west
side of the school building is
something I see every time I look
out the window at my house.
Scholarships, trophy cases and
press boxes that will bear his
(Schnepps) name. Anything that
is done with that money is a memorial, said Vance.
Vance told the board that he
is not going anywhere until that
money is out of the school.
I want the money removed,
the sign off the school. If you
want a press box then lets raise
the money in the community for
a new press box. We have done
this before and we can do it for
this. I just want that sick man and
his money out of this school,
said Vance.
Looking the board members
eye to eye and pacing back and
forth, Vance continued to grill
them on their lack of professionalism, decision making, and the
lack of communication.
Ive lived with this for 33
years and these people didnt
need to know this about me. But
after all these years I had to finally
tell it and I tried to tell some of
you (board members) but it didnt
seem like you wanted to hear it or
had the time to listen to me.
Continuing to share his hurt

and disgust, Vance said, I want
you to understand how a man can
feel when he has gone through
what Ive gone through. But instead of understanding you slap
me in the face by erecting memorials.
With little comment from the
board president, Vance continued
to talk and share his feelings to an
expressionless group of board
members. In the quietness of the
room, Vance finally took a deep
breath and said, Its time to remove the superintendent from his
position.
He said, Its amazing that I
have held this on the inside for 33
years and when I finally decided
to go to the superintendent (Bill
Hanak) and express my concern,
he spent some time with me and
then stopped the meeting because
he had another appointment. You
would have thought that after 33
years of this much agony and
pain he would have understood
the importance of continuing on.
A second meeting was scheduled between the two and again
Vance was not satisfied with the
results and the lack of professionalism by the superintendent.
During our second meeting,
instead of looking me in the eye
during our conversation, he was
busy texting on his phone, said
Vance.
In his closing statements Vance
reminded the board that there are
three others besides himself that
have admitted to him that they to
were sexually abused by Schnepp
in 1982-83.
And yet, you want to form
committees and have a plan to
spend this money in order to
honor this man.
In closing, Vance said, Officially, I want this man gone, as
he pointed to Hanak.
point where a student even tried

to write to the state about it. After
she got no response, Mrs. Harder,
not wanting the student to get discouraged, talked to a representative, leading the representative to
come in and talk to the students.
After some discussion and
looking at another schools resolution on it, the board is working
with the teacher to draft out their
own resolution on the PARCC
Test and plan to have it ready by
the next meeting.
After a recent outcry from
parents, school officials agreed
to retain eighth grade graduation
ceremonies. However, on Monday, eighth grade class president
Lexie Beckman, spoke to the
board about getting rid of eighth
grade graduation, saying many
students felt it was outdated
and prefer the field day they were
going to get instead.

She believes that Everyone
else had a say but they [the students] never did.
A teacher, Pam Moore, also
encouraged the board to rethink
eighth grade gradation.
The board stated that they will
not cancel it due to timing, but
that the graduation is to move
to the morning and they are
currently working with middle
school principal Chris Etzler on
possibly having a cook-out/field
day in the afternoon.
Darla Smith, a parent, approached the board about having
Pat Stevenson, a retiring teacher,
present her son with his diploma.
Smith stated that Stevenson had
done so much for him, working with him since the first grade.
Because of her, he is where
he is now she said, even point-

Parents chimed in that they are
actually fearing that make-days
could go into county fair days,
which a lot of students compete
in.
However, despite efforts and
complaints, the resolution unanimously passed.
For the PARCC test that students are required to take, teacher
and PEA president Gary Gilbert spoke out against it, saying
that staff and students are both
burnt out due to all the preparation that go into the test that the
teacher cant even see the results
of. He also pointed out how there
was no peer reviewed studies to
show any kind of value of the
test.
Another teacher, Melissa
Harder, added that she and several students feel bullied to the
ing out that her son has been accepted into Defiance College.
After talking to other high
school principals around the area,
they decided they could not have
Stevenson present the diploma
due to problems that could arise
if many other parents were to
want the something similar.
However, with an idea from high
school principal Todd Harmon,
it was decided that Stevenson
could shake his hand as he went

The next meeting will be at 7

However, the Blue Jays had

two more opportunities to cut
into the lead further but didnt
take advantage, committing a
pair of turnovers.
Our guys battled and I am
proud of them for the effort, Elwer noted. They like to create chaos defensively and they challenge
your shots. They took advantage
of their opportunities tonight.
An Ethan Linder 3-pointer, set up by a Miller steal and
Corbin Linder assist, extended
the Raider lead to 53-46 with
5:19 left.
Delphos St. Johns cut the
deficit to 53-49 after three foul
shots by Grothouse but the Blue
Jays would get no closer.
Two Ethan Linder free throws
made it 55-49 Raiders before
two St. Johns misses led to
Ethan Linder being fouled on
the rebound.
The sophomore guard then
hit one of two foul shots to give
Wayne Trace a 56-49 advantage
with 1:21 remaining.
Following a basket by Delphos St. Johns Tyler Conley,
Jake Arend stepped up and converted one of two free throws to
make it 57-51 Raiders.
Needing to score quickly, the
Blue Jays were unable to convert on a long-distance 3-pointer and Miller brought down the
Raiders rebound. The junior
guard then stepped to the line
and hit both foul shots to give
Wayne Trace a 59-51 advantage
with 42 seconds left.
He made some big plays for
us tonight, added Raider head
coach Jim Linder of Miller. He
was big on the defensive end
there in the second half and hit
some big shots for us.
From there, the Blue Jays

missed two straight 3-point attempts and Wayne Trace hit

three of four free throws on the
opposite end to seal the 65-56
victory.
We are excited to make the
trip, continued Raider head
coach Jim Linder. It was a battle tonight. We knew coming in
they were very good defensively
and we just had to play through
it. I am so proud of the guys.
Early on, it appeared that
Wayne Trace was going to take
control.
The Raiders scored 13 of the
games first 18 points with senior David Sinn bucketing eight
points in the stretch. Miller also
hit the opening 3-pointer of the
game for Wayne Trace.
Coach just told me that I was
stronger than they were and to
take the ball to the basket, stated Sinn. He wanted me to be
more aggressive tonight.
I think he really gained confidence there in the first quarter,
Linder noted. We told him that
we wanted him to be a force
down there and he did a great
job for us.
However, the Blue Jays rallied in the second quarter. Delphos St. Johns opened the stanza on a 13-6 run to close within
28-24 on an Odenweller basket.
We had seen in some of their
games where they got off to a
great start and then teams came
back on them, Elwer said. We
told the guys just keep doing what
we want to do and not to panic.
Odenweller finished the game
with 20 points while grabbing
four rebounds and picking up
two steals. Grothouse added
18 points and dished out three
assists for Delphos St. Johns,
which closes the year with a record of 20-7.
Odenweller,
Grothouse,
Hays, Heiing and Conley all
played their final game in a Blue
Jay uniform.
This is a great group of seniors and a tough group to say
goodbye to, Elwer concluded.
They have done a lot for our
program and we have played
the best we have in a while since
mid-February.
Sinn topped the Raiders with
15 points and seven rebounds
while Ethan Linder added 14
points, five rebounds and three
assists. Corbin Linder and Miller chipped in 12 and 11 points,
respectively. Miller also recorded seven rebounds and Corbin
Linder dished out four assists.
Luke, Ethan and Corbin
were managers the last time we
went in 2008, concluded the
Raider head coach. So they
have all gotten to experience it
a little bit. This is something this
group has dreamed about since
they started playing together
back in third or fourth grade.

The Best of ...
Its hard to believe how the basketball season has quickly

gone by. With the exception of the Wayne Trace Raiders still
playing basketball in the Division IV tournament, it will soon
be time to direct our attention to the outdoor spring sports. But
before we move too quickly outside I want to report on my
best of for the 2014-15 basketball season.
Last year was my initial
report on what I considered
In My
was the best of when it
came to a variety of subjects
Opinion
related to basketball and
attending games at the high
Joe
school level. I wasnt sure
Shouse
that anyone really cared what
my opinion was but when I
attended my first game back
in early December, I was approached about who I thought
would have the best popcorn this year. So with that challenge,
I have deliberated long and hard to reveal my 2014-15 Best
of.
I must admit, that my main assignment is covering the
Antwerp Archers and therefore I did not have opportunity to
see Paulding and Wayne Trace play as much as the blue-andwhite but I was still able to find a spot on my list for all three
schools to be represented.
Best Concession: North Central. It appeared the food items
were prepared in the principals office. But they had a variety
of items from nachos to pizza to taco salad. Not bad choices
for a high school game. Also in the running is Lincolnview
with excellent pretzels and Woodlan served ice cream sundaes
tasted good even on a cold winter night. During the tournament, the barbecue was outstanding. It was a real bargain at
$2.
Best Warm Ups: Hilltop girls were sharp. They had their
number on the back in large print along with their name. On
the front was Hilltop in script. Their colors were white with
orange trim and black lettering. Now then, for those schools
wearing the camouflage shirts not a good choice get rid of
those things.
Best Uniforms: I cant say I saw anything that caused a
second look, but I have to admit that I saw my share of blue
and white school colors. Nothing wrong with that, but when
a team wore orange or black, red and white, even purple and
white it was a nice change.
Best Seating: With the theater-type seating available at
Lincolnview, I would have to rate them at the top. That was
during the Antwerp-Lincolnview girls game. Unfortunately,
those same seats were not available for the boys game.
Best Band: There may have been louder bands, but hands
down I give the nod to Antwerp. The only problem is that I
wish they had played at more games.
Best Popcorn: Heres the deal. I basically ate 40 bags of
popcorn and I should have kept better notes. Thank you to Sue
Meyer, from Antwerp, who offered me some of her homemade popcorn that mysteriously showed up during the Route
49 Classic. And like the tournament, her popcorn was classic.
Best Announcers: Thats a tough one. There were several
that I thought did a great job while others put me to sleep
almost. Jason Landers at Antwerp does a great job with
team introductions, announcements and song selections. Sam
Hatcher at Paulding does an excellent job and gives the feel of
a college game with his professional, distinct voice. Another
individual who impressed me was Phil Snow at Liberty Center. This young man graduated from LC in 2011 and his passion is his Tigers basketball team and having the opportunity
to serve as their announcer. Snow has experience in calling
Bluffton College womens games on the radio and was a great
kid to interview.
Most Enthusiastic Coach: I dont know if you would say
he is the most enthusiastic, but he is certainly the most intense. Coach Matthew Ripke from Edgerton reminds me of
the type that if the chair isnt bolted down he just may throw it
across the floor when the opposing team is ready to shoot free
throws. I must admit, that from a reliable source, he is nothing
like that and he a very quiet person at least off the court.
Best Team Spirit (student section): Fort Jennings was
awesome. Their cheerleaders did an excellent job leading the
student section and the adult fans were vocal throughout the
game.
Best game that made you feel good: Antwerp girls beating
Hicksville in the Bryan sectional. The Lady Aces defeated the
Archers twice during the season but not during tournament
time. That was a good feeling!
Best Cheerleaders: Paulding, Wayne Trace and Holgate.
Dont ask me why, but I thought they were very good in being
leaders.
Best Restrooms: Last year, I gave Hicksville first place
for the best gym and I still feel that way. This time I even inspected the restrooms and when you go to the expense to have
the schools mascot (Aces) depicted as a part of the flooring,
well, thats special.
Best Parking (convenience to gym entrance): Antwerp is
the best. I will go on and mention some of the places not so
great. After all. at my age I have a right to complain a little.
Hicksville has a nice school but parking is too far away on a
cold, bitter winter night. Crestview was another one that was
not convenient at all.
Hardest Bleachers: After making the trip up to Fayette
and sitting through the junior varsity girls, varsity girls, junior
varsity boys and then the varsity boys count em, thats four
games those wooden bleachers were hard.
Best Rendition of the National Anthem: Ellen Baker,
a junior at Fayette High school. She sang it before the girls
varsity game and was amazing. She then came back and did a
repeat performance prior to the boys varsity game. An excellent job by a good student who plans to continue her studies in
music.
Friendliest Greeters: There was a couple standing at the
entrance to the gym at Fayette. I didnt catch their name, but
I had a great conversation with them and they gave me directions back home that included a short cut. So, at Fayette, the
bleachers were hard but the National Anthem was top-notch
and the people were friendly. Two out of three is not bad.
It was a wonderful season covering the Antwerp Archers.
I am sure our other sportswriters would say the same about
their teams.
But for me, I cannot say enough about the Antwerp family
that has allowed me to be a small part of their athletic lives.
Athletic directors Drew Altimus, Scott McMichael, head
coach TJ Hammer, head coach Kevin Taylor, head coach Jeremy Kosch and so many others thanks for another memorable season.
Before I close, here is some good news. The 2015-16 season will be here a little sooner than usual. In the past, games
would usually tip off the first week of December. However,
this coming season the Archers will tip off on Friday, Nov.
27 when they travel to Toledo and play Toledo Christian. The
Eagles were seeded fourth in the Kansas district and defeated
Mohawk and Arcadia before falling to No. 2 seed Ottawa
Hills 43-36 in the district semifinals.
As for the Route 49 Classic, the boys will play at Hicksville
on Dec. 28-29 and the girls will travel to Edon on Dec. 21-22
for their annual holiday tournament.

Respect your moss

There are certain plants that no
one wants but everyone has. Like
crabgrass and dandelions and that
fascinating groundcover, prostrate
spurge. I once launched a campaign on my blog to look at the
latter in a new way, even offering to
sell my surplus for the ridiculously
low price of fifty cents a plant.
I didnt get any takers, in fact,
I didnt get anyone to take me seriously. It seems that no one has a
need for it and some people even
tried to sabotage my burgeoning
business and potential fortune by
offering their extra plants for free.
The nerve of some people.
But what is it that makes a plant
desirable or undesirable? Why are
some plants considered to be weeds
and others not? And why cant we
agree on these at times? (One mans
weed is another mans flower.)
Moss sometimes falls into the I
dont want it and how can I get rid of
it? category, but Im a moss lover.
It might be why I enjoyed Elizabeth
Gilberts latest novel, The Signature
of All Things, so much, although the
plot, independent of the botanical
setting, stood alone well enough.
Those who study mosses are
called bryophiles, as moss is part of
In the
Garden
By
Kylee Baumle
the plant division (phylum) Bryophyta. There are more than 12,000
species of moss, so thats more than
enough to keep the bryophiles busy.
In recent years, moss has gained a
great deal of respect in the gardening
world and there are businesses that
deal strictly in the sale of different
types of moss for use in home gardens. The miniature gardeners have
always loved it for use in their tiny
landscapes, but it has many practical
uses in full-sized gardens too.
Mosses have no roots, instead
being anchored to the ground or

stone by threadlike rhizoids. They
dont take up nutrients or water
through the rhizoids as you might
think; they absorb them through
their leaves. Most mosses reproduce by flinging their spores or
having them dispersed by the wind
or insects.
If you go outside right now,
youll find that many plants are still
dormant, with just a few greening
up, but take a close look at the base
of your trees or along the roadside
in the gravelly edges and youll
see that moss is alive and well and
thriving, as it has been doing all
winter.
All mosses are not the same.
Some need shade, while others do
just fine in full sun. Some grow in
organically rich soil, and some prefer rocky surfaces. But nearly all
mosses need an area that receives
regular moisture, and if they dont
get it, theyll go dormant.
Some mosses can remain dormant for a very long time. You may
be familiar with the Resurrection
Fern, which is sold as a novelty
item this time of year. The plant
looks for all the world like its dead
and crispy, but place it in water and
Kylee Baumle/Paulding County Progress
The ladybugs have come out from their overwintering locations deep under the leaves and are
exploring their world. This native pink spotted lady beetle was seen on some cushion moss at the
base of one of our large oak trees a few weeks ago.

it comes back to life and greens

right up. That one isnt a moss, but
there are mosses that will do the
same thing.
Those of you who may have
too much of a good thing, in which
case you might be thinking theres
nothing good about it, might want
to try and look at it in a different
light. Mosses help prevent erosion

while also improving soils moisture and nutrient retaining capabilities. It makes an attractive groundcover that requires little to no care.
When is the last time youve had to
mow moss?
So get out there and appreciate
the free green stuff thats right in
your own backyard. Get down

close and look at it. Really look at
it. Its pretty amazing stuff.

ANTWERP Preschool and kindergarten enrollment continues, summer

help students were approved and make
up days were announced at the Antwerp
Local School board meeting.
Superintendent Pat Ross updated the
board on the number of days students had
missed due to inclement weather and the
ongoing plan to make up the days.
So far we have missed 13 days. With
the extended time each day, we will make
up five of the days. Two days will be
made up on April 2 and May 21, commented Ross.
Ross also informed the board that with
the establishment of the Jean Detmon
Book Scholarship, there will be six $500
scholarships offered this year.
When a student goes to college and
they turn in textbook receipts up to $500,
they will receive compensation, said
Ross.
Through the Donors Choice Grant program, Mrs. Reyes received a grant in the
amount of $729, to be used in her economics class for various supplies.
In order to continue with the five-year
plan, the next step for interior improvements will be the next phase of painting
within the school building. The quote re-
ceived and accepted for the next summer

painting project is $19,456.
Both principals, Mike Bute from the
junior high/high school and Tim Manz,
elementary, shared that various testing
continues to be a priority and will be for
the balance of the school year.
Manz informed the board that kindergarten registration is in progress with 38
students signed up so far.
Our numbers are down a little bit and
we expected that to be the case, said
Manz.
He went on to say that 50 students are
registered for the preschool program.
Kristine Stuart, treasurer for the Antwerp Local School district reported the
February receipts of $843,602.16 with
expenses totaling $582,123.26. According to Stuart, the increase was due to the
school receiving its first half of real estate
tax income.

Spring will officially be

here this week as I write this!
Monday was a very beautiful
day with the temperature going
up in the 60s. We hung all the
laundry outside to dry. It was
so nice to be able to fold all the
clothes and put them away the
same day.
Susans friend Mose tapped
all our maple trees for sap and
also some of the trees at my sisters Verena and Susans place.
He also tapped a few of neighbor Irenes trees.
The sap is running but not
as much as some years. Mose
cooked the sap on Saturday and
we now have fresh maple syrup. It is surprising how many
gallons of sap it takes to get one
gallon of maple syrup. A lot of
work goes into it all.
We all love the maple syrup.
It tastes so much better on pancakes than pancake syrup. The
children like to warm it and put
it on vanilla ice cream.
We had a nice day for Alvin
and Susannas wedding last
week. The wind was a little
chilly but the sun was shining
so that helped.
On the menu were mashed
potatoes, gravy, baked chicken,
dressing, mixed vegetables, lettuce salad, sliced cheese, homemade bread, butter and strawberry jam, angel food cake with
a strawberry topping, mixed
fruit, and pecan, blueberry and
cherry pies. Ice cream was also
added for the evening meal. We
wish Alvin and Susanna a long,
happy married life together with
all of Gods richest blessings!
We have several more wedding invitations for this spring.
Joes cousin Ben and Elizabeth
will exchange vows on April
3 in Rochester, Ind. They both
lost their first partners. We wish
them a happy, blessed life together!
Also, congratulations to Orlie
Wayne and LaVera Ann. They
will exchange vows on April
23. Joe and Orlie work at the
same RV factory. We appreciate
the invitations and hope to be
able to attend.
We also received a Save the
Date and an invitation-to-fol-
low card from cousin Janes

daughter Tiffany and her fianc
Samual. They plan to exchange
vows on Sept. 5. Congratulations to the couple!
Our thoughts are with niece
Suzanne, age 14 (sister Liz and
Levis daughter). She has been
in the hospital since Monday.
She has asthmatic bronchitis
pneumonia and a virus. We
hope she will be well enough
to go home soon and have a
speedy recovery. Its always a
worry for the parents when our
children are sick. Sounds like
she was dehydrated with a high
fever and was a very sick girl.
Sunday we had dinner with
sisters Verena and Susan. Another beautiful day! The children enjoyed playing outside,
biking, and riding the pony.
Timothy and Mose also were
there and sister Emma, Jacob,
and family. Also their daughters friends, Menno and Manuel. Daughters Verena and Loretta spent the weekend in Indiana
with friends so they werent
there.
Joe and the boys took advantage of the nice weather on Saturday and hauled some manure
out of the barn. I love spring!
Its always nice to see everything start blooming. I am keeping my eye open for those dandelion greens. Rhubarb stems
should be peeping through too.
This morning we had 23 degrees so we might have a few
cold days yet.
A lady from our church
shared this recipe with me. I
bought the raised doughnut mix
and cinnamon doughnut sugar
at a bulk food store. Im not sure
if other stores would have it as
well. Our children love these
and its easier to make than
doughnuts. Enjoy! God Bless!
RISE AND ROLL BARS

2 packages yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1-3/4 cups warm water
5-1/2 cups raised doughnut
mix
1-1/2 to 2 cups cinnamon
doughnut sugar (for topping)
Mix together yeast, sugar
and warm water. Then add
raised doughnut mix. Let rise
30-45 minutes. Knead and
spread in a buttered 10x15
cookie sheet and let rise again
for 30-45 minutes. Bake at
350 for 15-20 minutes.
BROWN SUGAR
FROSTING
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup milk
3 cups powdered sugar
Cook together brown sugar
and butter for 23 minutes. Add
milk and bring to a boil. Take

Add powdered sugar. Spread
bars with frosting then sprinkle
with cinnamon doughnut sugar
before the frosting dries.

WT JR./SR. HIGH SCHOOL
Greg Leeth, Principal
The third quarter has come and gone, and we
have just nine school weeks left in the school
year. I continue to be amazed at how quickly
each successive school year passes by. Much
was accomplished this past grading period, and I
look forward to continued success for the
students at Wayne Trace Jr./Sr. High School.
I want to commend students, staff, and the
community for the work that was done to
successfully navigate the first round of new
testing. Wayne Trace students recently completed the Performance Based Assessments
required by Ohio law; students will complete
testing in May when they take the End of Year
assessments. Students and staff have done a
tremendous job adjusting and preparing for the
changes thrown at them by state legislators and
will continue to do a tremendous job as changes
In testing occur.
Of course, I would be remiss if I didn't commend our students for the successes they have
achieved in recent weeks: as of the writing of this
newsletter the high school choir earned a
berth in the State OMEA contest by scoring a "1",
the high school musical group presented an
outstanding version of "Beauty and the Beast",
the cheerleading squad captured the championship trophy in the Disney International Cheer
Competition in Orlando, Florida, the wrestling
team sent two wrestlers to state, the girls'
basketball team played in the district tournament, and the boys' basketball team has won the
regional basketball tournament and will be competing in the Final Four for the fifth time in school
history. Great job Raiders!
As the weather turns nice, we look forward to
the many spring activities. Soon the baseball,
softball, and track teams will begin competition.
The 8th graders will travel to Washington D.C.
and juniors and seniors will celebrate the high
school prom. The end of the school year is an
exciting one, yet there is much academic work to
do. As always, if you have questions or
concerns about your child's education, do not
hesitate to contact his/her teacher.

Taylor Universitys Taylor Ringers hand bell choir will perform a free concert on April 1 in Paulding.
TEBOW SPEAKS AT NPAC On Wednesday, March 18, Pam Tebow spoke to a group of 185 at
the Niswonger Performing Arts Center. The event was to benefit Hands of Hope Pregnancy Services in Paulding. She shared stories of her familys ministries around the world, and also about
her son Timmy. Pam and her son, Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow, were featured in a Focus
on the Family ad promoting families and life. That ad has opened many doors for the Tebows to
speak on behalf of groups like Hands of Hope. Here, she talks with Hands of Hope board chairman Doug Roop. Hands of Hope serves any pregnant woman, or parent of a child 18 months and
younger. They offer free pregnancy testing, pregnancy options counseling, parenting classes,
and abstinence classes. By taking classes, clients have the opportunity to earn free items such as
cribs, car seats, diapers, and baby clothes. For more information about Hands of Hope, call 419399-2447, visit their website handsofhopepaulding.org, or search for them on Facebook.

Something squirrelly Students investigate owl pellets

Hunting and eating animals
were the only way the pioneers
had to get fresh meat to feed
their families. Our forefathers
were happy if they could go out
and shoot a bear, buffalo, opossum, deer, rabbit or anything that
moved and cook it up for supper.
I have never been hunting, but I
dont think I could shoot any living animal.
While people have always
loved the sport of hunting, I personally am glad I am not a pioneer lady that had to cook, de-fur
and de-feather their main course.
However, my grandpa used to
go out hunting on Thanksgiving
Day, using a huge slingshot. I
remember him shooting a rabbit
and Grandma cooking it. Today,
though, I would think of the Easter Bunny or Bambi if I had to
partake of rabbit or a deer.
Squirrels are very prevalent
around the area and it appears
they have taken up residence in
local towns and villages. I have
always enjoyed watching squirrels as they work so hard gathering food for the winter and making their nests in spring.
There was one time when I had
a new porch swing with cushions on it and the squirrels made
themselves at home and chewed
up my swings pillows for their
home. I was shocked the little
critters did that and I realized that
even though squirrels are fun to
watch, they can be annoying.
Also there was another time,
a squirrel got in the electrical
wires across from our home. The
electric power went off and after
calling the power company, they
discovered a squirrel had chewed
into the live wires.
The repair man fixed the wires
and came down from his ladder
holding what appeared to be a
poor unfortunate squirrel. Yes, it
A Penny for

was fried. I cried, but supposedly
that happens quite frequently.
Recently I heard that the British folks were now enjoying eating squirrels. I dont know if they
were just introduced to the fare or
if they just had an abundance of
the rodent.
Rachel Thomas staged a squirrel burger cooking contest challenge at the Forest Showcase
Food and Drink Festival in southwest England. Squirrels make a
good food source and should be
served up as a way of controlling
the population, said Thomas.
Those competing in the squirrel burger contest had a quarter of
a pound of minced gray squirrel
meat with which to concoct a super winning burger. It also took
a lot of imagination to make a
burger that not only tasted good
but was appealing to the eye.
The first place squirrel burger
was one called Cajun Melt.
The second place winner was
Chicken of the Tree Surprise.
According to reports, there were
plenty of squirrel burgers to go
around and the Brits absolutely
loved them. Some described the
taste as a combination of chicken
and rabbit.
If you eat meat, why not

squirrel? Lambs, rabbits, theyre
all cute animals so we dont see
what the fuss is all about, Thomas said.
Introduced from North America to England from 1876 to 1929,
grey squirrels are now thought to
outnumber Englands native reds
by 66 to one.
They are, we think, a good
food source. We decided, lets get a
bit of education out there, its about
time they were managed properly.
On the other hand, a spokesman
for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals said, Our shops
are brimming with healthy and
delicious grains, pasta, beans, rice,
nuts, fruits, almond milks and soya
puddings. Eat those foods instead
of our animals.
Do you know how many ways
you can cook squirrel? There are
recipes for squirrel casseroles,
tacos, soup, gravies and sauces.
There are baked squirrel recipes
and cooking directions for making
crockpot squirrel, barbecued squirrel, squirrel and noodles and squirrel pot pie.
We have all probably heard the
song by Ray Stevens called, The
Mississippi Squirrel Revival. The
song tells the story of a squirrel that
was brought to church. I can only
imagine the havoc that squirrel
created as he chased those church
goers around and over the pews.
As I look outside my window,
I am watching squirrels as they
busy themselves with nest building and making a families.
Let me say the squirrels are
safe around my house as I sure
dont want to eat one or use his
tail for a Davy Crockett hat!
Have you ever cooked squirrel, eaten squirrel, or hunted
for squirrel? Let me know and
Ill give you a Penny for Your
Thoughts.
WE EARNED OUR REPUTATION AS ROOFING

PROFESSIONALS FROM THE GROUND UP.
ROOF DOWN.
By Staci Miller
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
Last week, students from
the Wayne Trace 21st Century
after school program took a
field trip to the Black Swamp
Nature Center to learn about
owl pellets. Owl pellets are
used as an educational tool to
teach students about the scientific study of small mammals
and their distribution.
Students learned about owl
species in Ohio and how pellets are formed through a PowerPoint presentation and then
each student got the opportunity to dissect their own owl
pellet and try to identify what
animal(s) their owl consumed.
What is an owl pellet? Owls
dont have any teeth so they
have to swallow their prey
whole. The owls arent able to
digest bones and feathers from
their prey, so a pellet forms in
their gizzard and they must regurgitate the pellet to consume
another meal. On average, an
owl regurgitates 1-2 pellets a
day.
Students dissected the pellets and were given a bone
chart to help them identify
what their owl consumed. Students enjoyed this activity and
after they got the opportunity
to go on a walk at the nature
center.
Please feel free to contact
Staci Miller, education specialist at the Paulding SWCD,
to schedule an educational
presentation for a classroom
or group at 419-399-4771.
Education specialist Staci Miller observes Wayne Trace student Lucy Stoller as she dissects her owl pellet and then tries to
identify what animal(s) the owl ate.

Team effort puts WT in final 4 Regional victory celebration

By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
BOWLING GREEN In
the regional semifinal, sophomore Ethan Linder scored
44 points and senior brother
Corbin Linder made two big
plays in the second overtime
to lift Wayne Trace past Plymouth 76-68.
On Friday night, it was the
efforts of junior guard Luke
Miller and senior forward David Sinn who led Wayne Trace
to a 65-56 win over Delphos
St. Johns to clinch another
trip to the final four. On Thursday, the Raiders will represent
Wayne Trace for the fifth time
in school history.
Miller, who finished with
11 points, seven rebounds and
was a perfect six of six at the
foul line, made his biggest impact on the opposite end of the
floor.
The junior was the key cog
in a triangle and two defense
that shut down the Blue Jays
Alex Odenweller in the second
half as Wayne Trace pulled
away late for the victory.
After scoring 20 first half
points and hitting all seven of
his shots from the field, Odenweller missed all four of his
attempts in the second half.
Every time I would come
off of a screen, he was right
there, maybe an inch of
space, noted Odenweller.
Miller, who has been the
Raiders shut down defender
all season long, says it just
came down to putting forth
the extra effort to keeping a
tremendous season alive for
at least one more game and a
dream alive.
It came down to effort,
Miller noted of his defensive

prowess. I just knew I had to
stay with him and we just had
to find a way to get it done.
He made some big plays for
us tonight, added Raider head
coach Jim Linder of Miller.
He was big on the defensive
end there in the second half and
hit some big shots for us.
Sinn, meanwhile, appeared
much
more
comfortable
against the Blue Jays and
dominated the game inside.
The Raider senior scored six
points early in the first quarter
and finished the night with a
team high 15 markers. Sinn
also added seven rebounds for
Wayne Trace, which out rebounded the Blue Jays 40-23
overall.
Coach just told me that I
was stronger than they were
and to take the ball to the basket, stated Sinn, who missed
nine games this year due to
injuries. He wanted me to be
more aggressive tonight.
I think he really gained
confidence there in the first
quarter, Linder noted. We
told him that we wanted him
to be a force down there and
he did a great job for us.
Wayne Trace also got key
minutes from junior Justin
Speice in the contest. Speice
contributed two points and
two rebounds but also was solid defensively for the Raiders.
Junior Alec Vest also provided
quality minutes off the bench
for Wayne Trace while picking up an assist.
Another key contributor
was junior Cole Shepherd. On
the defensive end, he was one
of the stalwarts who helped
keep the Blue Jays post players from finding any type of
comfort zone. Shepherd has

been a model of consistency
for Wayne Trace all season
long.
The Raider forward also
picked up five rebounds while
adding six points and an assist
to help Wayne Trace move on.
Senior Jake Arend also
came up big defensively for
the Raiders. The senior forward chipped in five points,
three rebounds, an assist and
one steal.
This was a team win, continued head coach Jim Linder.
We got quality play from
guys off the bench tonight and
that was big. Everybody contributes and we have gotten
a little better each night. Its
been a fun group to coach.
RECORDS BROKEN
This Raider squad continues
to make its mark in the Raider
record book.
Wayne Traces 25th win in
the regional championship set
a new school record for victories in one season. The old
record was 24, accomplished
three times (1986-1987, 19901991 and 2000-2001).
Senior guard Corbin Linder
has eclipsed the school record
for 3-point field goal attempts.
Linder is now at 199 attempts
for the season, breaking the
old mark of 193 set by Nathan
Overmyer in the 1992-1993
season.
Sophomore Ethan Linder
also has broken the free throw
records for both made and
attempted in a season. Ethan
is currently 144 of 173 on
the season, breaking the old
record of 131 made by Rob
Welch (1992-1993) and 163
attempted by Chris Shepherd
(2000-2001).
filled with many emotions

By JIM LANGHAM
Sportswriter
HAVILAND A victory celebration in the Wayne
Trace gym late Friday night
was filled with both celebratory and somber emotion.
The team had just won a regional championship at Bowling Green State University and
established a berth in the state
round on Thursday morning at
10:45 a.m.
When members of the
Columbus-state
tournament-bound Wayne Trace
Raiders walked on to the floor,
a standing ovation of pandemonium broke out for several
minutes in celebration of the
Raiders regional championship win over Delphos St.
Johns.
Several minutes later when
assistant and former coach Al
Welch stepped to the microphone, he said he didnt know
whether or not he could make
it through what he wanted to
say.
My grandson had major
surgery two weeks ago and
hes here tonight, said Welch
to a resounding applause of
approval from Raider fans.
These guys put his name on
their shoes.
And theres another great
Raider that we lost a few
weeks ago and his name is on
their shoes as well, continued Welch, referring to former
great Steve Hall, a member
of the 1987 team that went to
state. Hall had passed from
cancer earlier in the winter.

This shows what these
fellows are made of, the compassion that they have, added
Welch. For them to go out
there and fight and play like
they did with the names of Jalen Welch (son of Al Welchs
late daughter, Amy Welch)
and Steve Hall written on their
shoes says a lot about them.
It feels really good to be
here, said Jalen Welch, who
noted that he had a tumor removed from his body just two
weeks ago. I feel like I am
in elementary school again,
watching those coaches.
I have so many great
friends, continued the younger Welch. My heart goes out
to these guys and the way that
they play basketball.
Following the celebration,
Steve Halls parents, John and
Rose Ann Hall, received warm
expressions from many fans
who admired their courage in
coming out to support a celebration similar to that which
their son had been a part of 28
years ago.
Another son, Bill Hall,
played on the state championship team in 1991.
The celebration came alive
with many Raider fans both
young and old in attendance,
as popular radio personality
Kenny Stabler walked on to
the floor and said, Ladies and
gentlemen, your 2015 regional champions and state-bound
Wayne Trace Raiders!
That comment ignited one
of many standing ovations

during the brief celebration.
At one point, Stabler looked
up and acknowledged four
previous Wayne Trace teams
that had gone to state, all under the leadership of former
head coach Al Welch.
Current coach Jim Linder
brought another explosive
applause when he stepped up
to the microphone and said,
we are so excited. Weve had
tremendous fan support, continued Linder. That has been
here all year long. The kids are
very appreciative of all you
do.
Our goal all along has been
to get smart and play smart,
said Linder.
Along the sidelines, several
current WT students had their
own philosophy about what
has made this team so successful.
There is so much excitement in school these days,
said Molly Crosby. There is
real school spirit; this team
has really brought the student
body close together for support.
This team is so good because they are all such good
friends, commented Sarah
Young. Its really exciting
ever day around here.
Leah Sinn said that she is
already planning the trip to
Columbus and what she would
like to do while she is down
there.

CELEBRATE
Continued from Page 1B

There are so many things
to do down there but the most
exciting thing is supporting
our Raiders playing basketball, said Sinn.
Hank Sinn, also a student at
the school, said he believes that
the more the fans put into it, the
harder the players get into it.
This team really meshes
together well, observed Sinn.
There are several outstanding

players. Anyone on the team
can step up at any time. Its
awesome, I used to go down
there every year with my father. Now we are going down
with our own school.
This never gets old, said
Welch. Raiderville has been
my life. A lot of guys have gone
through this program. Many of
them, their dads played for me.

This team has plenty of depth
and a lot of good players. This
is one of the best shooting
teams weve had around here
for a long time.
One thing this team lacked
was mental toughness, but they
showed that in the second half
of this game tonight, added
Welch.

Jr. High

YOUNGSTOWN Two of
Antwerps junior high wrestlers recently competed at the
junior high state tournament in
Youngstown on March 21-22.
Tyler Bauer, who only lost
two matches during the regular season, lost his first two
matches to end his run at a junior high state championship
in the 102 pound weight class.
Aidan McAlexander went
3-2 over the two-day event recording one pin and one major
decision. McAlexander put his
undefeated regular season record to the test and just missed
out on placing, losing a heartbreaker 4-2 to Ian Roberts
from Lancaster. A win would
have guaranteed McAlexander
a spot in the top eight.
Although neither wrestler

all-time scorers in Wayne
Trace history.
Linder also chipped in 3.4
rebounds a night for the redwhite-and-blue and recorded 41 steals while hitting 58
3-pointers on the season.
Im not sure what else we

game of basketball and has
been a gym rat all of his life.
All of the hours in the gym
has certainly paid off for him.
Hes helped lead us to three
consecutive 20-win seasons
and he holds career records

for 3-point field goals and
steals. Hes just had a great
career.

Raiders survive and

advance in OT thriller
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
BOWLING GREEN
Sophomore Ethan Linder
scored 44 points and senior
brother Corbin Linder made
two huge shots early in the
second overtime to lift the
Wayne Trace Raiders into
the Elite Eight with a 76-68
double overtime victory over
Plymouth on March 17.
Tied at 61-61 entering the
second overtime, Plymouths
Tyrell Edmiston was forced to
leave the game due to blood
on his pants.
Wayne Trace (24-1) took
advantage, getting a quick
basket by David Sinn to grab
a 63-61 advantage. Although a
dead ball allowed Edmiston to
re-enter, the Raiders proceeded to take control.
After struggling from the
field all night, Corbin Linder
connected on a 3-pointer to
put the red-white-and-blue in
front 66-61. The senior guard
followed that up with a steal
and layup to widen the margin to 68-61 and the Raiders
would hold on from there to
advance to Fridays regional
championship against Delphos St. Johns.
Plymouth trimmed the deficit to 72-68, but the Raiders answered. Ethan Linder
bucked the final four points of
the contest to seal the Wayne
Trace win.
Neither team wanted to
quit, commented Raider head
coach Jim Linder. We were
able to get off to a great start in
the second overtime and then
we hit our free throws down
the stretch.
The Big Red jumped in
front 60-56 in the first overtime and appeared to have all
of the momentum.
However, Ethan Linder hit a
critical 3-pointer to get Wayne
Trace within 60-59. After the
Big Reds Austin Nester hit
one of two foul shots, Ethan
Linder drove the length of the
floor for the tying basket to
knot the score at 61-61.
Ethan Linder finished the
night with 44 points, the third
most in school history in a single game. Rick Gerber holds
the record with 48 against
Hicksville in 1975 and Alvin
Phillips bucketed 45 against
Tinora in 1974.
The Raider sophomore
guard also picked up 11 rebounds and seven steals on the
night.
He kept us in the game,

Linders big plays key in Raider win

By KEVIN

Sportswriter
BOWLING GREEN An
instant classic.
A game that went back and
forth all night long. Plymouth
led 18-7 after one quarter and
looked ready to pull away
from Wayne Trace for the win.
The Raiders answered early
in the second, scoring the first
seven points of the quarter before eventually pulling within
29-24 at the intermission.
When Plymouth senior
Tyrell Edmiston picked up his
fourth foul in the third quarter,
it was the Raiders who seized
the momentum and rallied to
take a 45-42 advantage after
three periods.
Then it was the Big Red Vikings turn to answer. Trailing
56-50 late in the fourth quarter, Plymouth scored the final
six points in regulation to send
the game into extra time tied
at 56-56.
In the first extra session,
Plymouth scored the first four
points before Wayne Trace answered with five of the last six
to knot the game at 61-61 and
set up a second overtime.
When Edmiston left the
floor due to blood on his pants,
it was Raider senior Corbin
Linder who stepped up and

An all-out-effort by Luke Miller #10 was necessary in the Bowling Green district semifinal game
with Plymouth last Tuesday. The effort by the entire Raider team was necessary in securing the
double overtime win 76-68.
ing when it went in, added

Linder. Then to be able to get
a turnover and layup right after that.
The Raider senior finished
the night with 14 points, his
season average, while grabbing nine rebounds. He also
dished out five assists and
posted three steals.
This was a total team effort, concluded Corbin.
Now we have to come back
ready to play Friday. We want
to get to the next level and we
believe we can do it.
RAIDER NOTES: Ethan
Linders 44 points in the contest is the third most points by

Hicksville in 1975 while Alvin
Phillips bucketed 45 against

The Raiders recorded their
24th victory of the season last
night over Plymouth, tying
the school record for wins in
a season. Wayne Trace has recorded 24 victories three other
times. The 2000-01 team lost
in the state semifinals to Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary while
the 1986-1987 squad fell to
Bucyrus Wynford in the state
semifinals. The third squad to
hit 24 victories was the 1991
state champions.

made two key plays.

With the Raiders on top 6361 early in the second extra
session, Linder came up with
the biggest shot of the Raiders season by opening the
second overtime scoring with
a 3-pointer that gave Wayne
Trace a 66-61 lead.
The senior guard then followed that up with a steal and
layup to make it 68-61 and
the Raiders never looked back
in advancing to the regional
championship against Delphos St. Johns Friday night.
While his sophomore brother Ethan was enjoying a tremendous night that finished
with 44 points, 11 rebounds
and seven steals, it was a long
night for Corbin, who finished
hitting only 6 of 23 shots including 2 of 11 from 3-point
range.

However, despite the struggles, it was the Raider senior
that seemingly turned the
momentum permanently to
Wayne Traces favor.

ball in and around Paulding
County. He covers all of the
schools in the county and enjoys watching the success of
the young people. However,
when the Raiders are in the final games of a successful run
to state, he admitted a sense of
pride for his alma mater.
This program really got
going in 1987, said Stabler.
Every little kid in the school
district wanted to be one of
those guys and they started
playing basketball all around
the school district.
That got the ball rolling
and basketball success of the
Raiders has just snow balled
since then, continued Stabler.
Every few years there has

been a team that has surfaced

and ended up going to state.
Stabler admitted that there
is a special element in this
years team.
My son dresses. He played
on the scout team and worked
to get these guys prepared for
what they are doing, noted
Stabler. For him to be a part
of this team is really special
for us.
Stabler said one factor he
believes lifts the Wayne Trace
tradition to where it is comes
from the strong fan support
base. He said that it was most
impressive at Bowling Green
to look up from his spot in
the press box and see a sea of
red representing Wayne Trace
fans. He noted that support of
its youth has always been an
important factor in the success
of Wayne Trace youth.
As for his personal career
as an announcer, Stabler said,
Ive been so blessed to have
such a wonderful community and county to cover. High
school sports is still more fun
to watch than any other area of
sports, and it doesnt get any
better than it does around this
area. I love what I am doing.
