Three-year-old Ashtyn Madden grabbed his toy shovel to help workers at a construction site on Main Street in Paulding last
week. Over recent months, crews have been busy at many sites, working simultaneously on two major projects.
Construction projects continuing
Williams St. reopening soon

By MELINDA KRICK
Progress Editor
PAULDING Six months after the orange barricades and Road Closed signs
began appearing around Paulding, it seems
like the number of projects is multiplying.
Residents are left to wonder ... when will the
construction end?
Theres good news and bad news.
First the good: Williams Street (U.S. 127)
north of the square is set to reopen no later
than Oct. 31.
That means that local drivers and through
passenger traffic no longer will have to use
alternate routes in town, including Emerald
Road, Main Street, Cherry Street and Walnut Street. Trucks wont have to use the
state-designated detour.
The bad news is that some construction
will continue until next summer and a new
project was set to begin this week.
Phase 2 of Paulding Villages combined
sewer overflow (CSO) project which is
separating the storm sewer from the sanitary
sewer must be done by June 1, 2016. Once
Williams Street reopens, work will move to
some side streets, including Walnut, Baldwin and Main.
Crews will work all winter, as long as the
weather allows, to meet the deadline, said
Mayor Greg White. Contractors are currently working on Saturdays.
The project was delayed this spring due
to unusually wet weather for several weeks.
White said that Labor Day had been the
original target date for completing Williams

Street.
At the same time as the CSO project,
work has been proceeding on a Safe Routes
to School project that involves Emerald
Road, North Water Street and North Main
Street.
Corey Howell is project supervisor for
VTF Excavation, which is working on both
the Safe Routes and the CSO construction.
He said the Safe Routes project in Paulding
should be completed in the next couple of
weeks. It had been scheduled to be done before the new school year.
The rainy spring months caused some delay in the CSO project, but Howell pointed
out that crews have been able to make up
some time in recent weeks.
Many residents in the village have voiced
displeasure in how many streets are closed
and the rerouting of traffic continues to create an inconvenience for those attempting to
get from one end of town to the other.
Its the nature of the project and there is
no way of getting around it. There is a process to follow and that is what we are doing, Howell said.
Howell explained in a telephone conversation that its not as easy as completing a
section and then moving on to the next one.
Once a section of sewer is completed
then its important and necessary to move to
the next section that ties in with the previous
one. The step-by-step process may require
that several different streets be closed at the
same time in order to complete the project

and then tie it all back together, commented
Howell.
Its going to take some time. Were taking care of our failing infrastructure, said
Council President Roger Sierer. People
have to trust were doing the right thing for
our future.
Crews are filling in trenches and patching
areas on Williams Street to ready it for traffic. We are working hard to get Williams
Street completed in order to have that long
stretch of street open, Howell said.
Ohio Department of Transportation is
planning to repave the Williams Street
sometime next year.
Portions of Emerald Road damaged by
construction have been trench repaired
and some areas will be patched with asphalt.
However, there are no plans at present to repave. The village is looking into grant funding for such a project.
In an entirely separate project, repaving
was scheduled to start Oct. 5 on Gasser
Road (Road 144) west of U.S. 127, and on
North Walnut Street between Baldwin Avenue and North Drive.
Sierer noted that Paulding Village may
commence Phase 3 of the sewer separation
project. Officials would like to delay until
they are certain the infrastructure completed
so far is working properly. Phase 3 would
have to be done by 2018, but the village may
apply for an extension.

State will fund 3 projects in Paulding

By SAMANTHA HABERN
Correspondent
PAULDING Paulding

session Oct. 5. Council was informed that the state will fund
three projects for the village, one
being a replacement for water
meters. The village must send
conformation that they accept the
funds by Oct 15.
To discuss this further, a Committee of the Whole meeting was
set for Tuesday, Oct. 6.
A citizen inquired about a possible permit truck detour route.

He was informed that this was
actually a matter for the state.
While he was told it would possible to be turned down, he could
contact the director of the state
highway department.
Council heard the first reading
of Ordinance 1507-15 regarding municipal income tax and
amending Ordinances 1239-00,
1320-04, and 1468-13 of the Village of Paulding. The 59-page
ordinance is in response to the

House Bill 5, which has minor
changes to the municipal income
tax information.
Council passed as an emergency Ordinance 1510-15 designating that only one-way motor
vehicle traffic shall be permitted

Street between Water and Main
streets and repealing Ordinance
1509-15. The earlier ordinance
incorrectly permitted traffic eastbound.

Womens retreat to host

bestselling Christian author
PAULDING First Presby-
terian Church in Paulding will

present its 34th annual Womens Retreat on Saturday, Oct.
24.
The Presbyterian Women
are thrilled and privileged to
welcome bestselling Christian
author Lynn Austin as this
years featured speaker.
Austins topic will be
Eves Daughters: Our Legacy
as Living Stones from I Peter
2:4-5.
This years retreat is a
multi-generational event,
aimed at blessing everyone
from teens to great-grandmothers. The day promises to
be full of inspiration, uplifting music, and Christian fellowship. A catered lunch by
Grants Catering is included
in the registration.
The event will be held from
9 a.m-2 p.m. The doors will
open at 8:30 a.m. The church
is located at 114 W. Caroline
St., corner of Cherry and Caroline streets, Paulding.
It is truly a divine appointment that has brought Lynn
Austin to our small church
in our small town to speak,
said retreat coordinator Becky
Fishbaugh. Our church library has all of Lynns books
on its shelves, and they have
been most meaningful to
me personally, and to many
women in our church. I approached Ms. Austin last year
to ask if she would consider
speaking at our retreat and,
after her prayerful consideration and confirmation, all
plans have fallen into place.
Austin resigned from teaching to write full-time in 1992.
She has sold more than one
million copies of her books
worldwide. She is an eighttime Christy Award winner for
her historical novels, as well
as a popular speaker at retreats
and conventions. Lynn and
her husband have raised three
children and live in Michigan.
She has a new book, On This
Foundation, coming out this
October.
In addition to Austins presentation, attendees will be
blessed with special music
from Dr. Ken Austin, a retired
LYNN AUSTIN
music professor and Lynns
husband; Susan Crossland, the
churchs organist for the past
45 years; and Susan Kayser,
who has shared her magnificent piano talents at all 34 retreats.
Pre-registration by Monday,
Oct. 12 is a MUST, as seating
is limited and a large crowd is
expected. Women may call the
church office at 419-399-2438

or email the church secretary
at pauldingpresbyterianmarcia@windstream.net) for more
information or to put their
names on the list.
However, please note that a
participant is not fully registered
until her contact information,
and her $20 fee have been received in the church office (First
Presbyterian Church, P.O. Box
366, Paulding OH 45879).
Nursery care for infants and
toddlers is available, but must
be requested with registration,
before Oct. 12.
After the retreat, Austin will
be at the church from 2-3 p.m.
to visit with participants and
will have her books available
for purchase. She will gladly
autograph books as well.
Austin also will be making
an appearance at the Paulding
County Carnegie Library on
Friday evening, Oct. 23 at 6
p.m. while she is in Paulding.
ODOT projects
The following is a weekly
report regarding current and upcoming highway road construction projects in the Ohio Department of Transportation District
One, which includes Paulding
County:
Ohio 500 from Ohio 49 in
Payne to the Indiana state line
is undergoing pavement repair. The project will close the
road according to the following
schedule:
- Ohio 500 between Ohio

Cemetery work
is appreciated
Dear Editor,
I am expressing appreciation to Kim Sutton because
shortly after the letter she
placed how terrible Live Oak
Cemetery was (Preserving
Live Oak Cemetery, Progress, Sept. 9), I saw the lift
truck in the cemetery placing

the Snook stone on its base.
This stone was laying on the
ground for about three years
and of course, no relatives
were still alive.
I noticed trees cut and
stumps ground out. Now,
next to some old stones in the
older part, trees/bushes [are]
growing out and of course,
this will tip the stones also.
Next, Kim, see if you can
move the cemetery board to
get drainage across the drive
from the Snook stone, as this
spring, water stood for two
weeks after rain stopped and
I mean deep water on the
graves.
I thought the money taken
in for buying graves was what
was set aside to keep the cemetery cleaned up.
Kim, you are a leader and
I wish we could get more
young people with helping do
these things.
I thought community service for the people on DUIs
meant working out like this,
but I guess I dont understand
what community service
is. I know years ago, the
fellas were at the fairground

painting the grandstand and
repairing it as my father-inlaw would enjoy watching
the fellas work and most were
more pleased to spend their
time out of doors and not doing exercising in the building.

I owe you a penny

When I end my columns
with, Ill give you a Penny
for Your Thoughts if I ever
see you, I will do just that. I
began writing this column after the death of my mama. She
was not only my mother, but
my closet and dearest friend.
My mama always had a
penny on her or was always
looking for a penny. She used
to play hide the penny with
my kids when they were little
and when she was ill I used
to hide pennies in her room
in the extended care facility.
Anything at all having to do
with a penny, I still think of
my mom.
Since her passing, I have
found pennies in strange places and also those I find are
sometimes very unexpected.
I always think that if I find
a penny it is a penny from
heaven and I say, Thank you,
Mom.
I will admit, sometimes my
thoughts are not worth a penny, but yours are. It is always
fun to get readers opinions
and feedback. A lot of topics
I write about are things that
I wonder about, heard about
or sometimes I actually do
find out something and like
to share it with readers. I will
share two recent letters that I
received.
Here is a note from one of
our readers concerning the
penny column on hitch hiking:
Yes, Nancy I have hitch
hiked and pick up a hitch hiker not too long ago.
As a teenager back in the

Your Thoughts

erything in town was closed,
even the Gaiety Bar tells
you how long ago of course
I dontknowwhat we were
going to, just bored, I guess.
We started walking back and
a semi driver stopped and
picked us up, took us to 127
and 613 crossroads. He was
a nice guy, probably lonely
and helping us out at such an
early morninghour. Dont ask
me why? Couldnt tell you
but when we see each other,
we always ask, remember
when we......?
I, also, picked up a hitchhiker not too long ago. I had
some business to attend to
in Defiance. I saw this guy
standing along the road at
the ramp on 24. I thought to
myself, if he is still standing
there when I get done, Im
picking him up. Guess what,
he was and I did. He was in
Defiance picking up meds
from the doctor at the hospital. I even offered him my
lunch from Burger King, he
said No, thank you. You have
restored my faith in mankind,
do you know I saw my landlord go by and he didnt even
stop.
He only wanted to go 14
miles and it was on my way.
You know, GOD sends angels
down, you never know who
you may be helping, an angel,
bad guy or just a regular person. I dont make a habit of it
but since he was still standing
there, I figured a test for
keeping (thought)my word.
He was a nice guy, didnt
even ask him his name. We
just talked and he thanked me
for restoring his faith in mankind. Just wanted a penny!

Another nice letter came
from Ann Plummer, who liked
the history of the song, It is
No Secret.
Hi Nancy, I read your
article in the Paulding paper
about It is no Secret. I really
enjoyed the history of the
song and I was surprised that
John Wayne was the friend
and Billy Graham was the
preacher. I shared it with
several of my friends. I really
enjoy your articles. Keep up
the good work.

Thanks to these readers who

And, I have observed some
new and exciting products on

us look younger (that I may

A grass waterway, such as this one within a corn field, can reduce soil erosion and runoff.
The purpose of grass waterways
By Staci Miller
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
Grass waterways are a conservation practice
that landowners can implement to help improve
the environment and prevent further gully erosion.
A grass waterway is a shaped or graded channel
that is established with suitable vegetation to carry
surface water at a non-erosive speed to a stable
outlet. The benefits of a grass waterway include
reduced soil erosion, sedimentation and pollution
from dissolved and sediment-attached substances.
Grassed waterways must be vegetated, according to NRCS Conservation Practice Standard Critical Area Planting. Species selected will be suited
to the current site conditions and intended uses.
Selected species will have the capacity to achieve
adequate density, height, and vigor within an appropriate time frame to stabilize the waterway.
It is important to establish vegetation as soon
as conditions permit. In order to help the vegetation get established, the use of mulch, nurse crop,
rock, straw or hay bale dikes, fabric checks, filter
fences, or runoff diversion will help to protect the
vegetation until fully established.
Planting of a close-growing crop, such as small
grains, on the contributing watershed prior to construction of the grassed waterway can also significantly reduce the flow through the waterway
during establishment.
Once the vegetation is established, a regular
maintenance plan is important to have in place to
sustain the grass waterway. The management plan
includes avoiding the use of herbicides that can
destroy or damage the vegetation in the waterway.
Avoid using waterways as turn-rows during
tillage and cultivation operations or crossing the
waterway with heavy equipment as it could damage the vegetation.
Another management practice is the regular
mowing or periodic grazing of vegetation, which
will help to maintain capacity and reduce sediment deposition.
The grass waterway may also need supplemental nutrients or fertilizers to maintain the difference species of vegetation and to keep are strong
stand of density in the waterway.
There are many different benefits to incorporating a grass waterway into a farming operation, but
it is important to contact a local Natural Resource
Conservation Service (NRCS) to help landowners
determine the specific needs of their property.

Paulding County 4-H teams up with the Paulding

County Master Gardeners. Rayni was the first Paulding
County Junior Master Gardener. The Junior Master Gardeners work beside the Master Gardeners to complete
community service projects in our communities. Many
of the flower gardens and flower pots on display in our
communities are taken care of by our Master Gardeners
and Rayni is proud to be a part of it all. This is another
example of how 4-H gives back to the community.

4-H supports the community. Community service and giving

back is a staple in the Paulding County 4-H program. Pictured
above are 4-Her Laura Thornell (left) with her father, Jay Thornell (right). This picture was taken during the flooding events in
June in which our 4-H members were called upon to fill sandbags to help our communities. Filling sandbags, washing fire
trucks, cleaning parks, and preparing care packages for shut-ins
are just a few of the many activities that 4-H youth participate in
to give back to the community that supports our organization.
4-H teaches youth to care for more than themselves. Caring
for others, animals, and our environment is what drives 4-H. 4-H
youth are given the opportunity to raise and care for a large number of animals during their 4-H careers. Youth are taught the
appropriate ways to treat and manage their livestock as well as
what it takes to produce quality food for the market. The caring
and compassion is shown as this youth takes the time to wash
her feeder calf before her show at the Paulding County Fair.

choices for their futures.

4-H youth are given multiple opportunities to

participate in public speaking situations. Public speaking is one of the most difficult tasks for
people and 4-H is designed to build the confidence of our youth to be comfortable while
speaking publically. Pictured above is Abram
Klopfenstein (left) with his brother, Jacob
Klopfenstein (right). Abram participated in the
Paulding County 4-H Public Speaking competition and received a chance to participate at
the State 4-H competition where he received
an Outstanding of the Day. Abram discussed
the importance of lawn mower safety during
his presentations.

Sweet memories
from an old store
It wasnt the best for me but
it was one of my best memories a visit to The Fair Store,
a we-have-it-if-we-can-findit store on Main Street in my
hometown when I was a child.
Recently, a close friend from
my school days purchased the
building in which the store
was located and it brought
back an array of memories
from nearly 60 years ago.
The store was owned by the
Burkhalter family, one of the
most musically talented families in town. It was said in
the evenings that each family
member would go to their instrument of expertise piano,
violin, clarinet and others and
would send music into the
neighborhood to the extent
that neighbors would sit on
their porches and listen to the
melodic family concert in the
evening air.
While the family left its musical legacy in our community,
the most noted trait of Menno
Burkhalter and his family was
their generosity, and I was a
beneficiary of that kindness.
Inside the front door of their
old country store was a large
counter of candies of all kind,
surrounded by boxes of chocolate candies that melted the
appetite of a young lad before
he could tug his mothers coat
and say, Please? Everything
from old fashioned chocolate
drops, chocolate peanut candies and fudge to caramels of
all types filled the boxes that
cast the most luscious aroma
of chocolate through the store.
But the ultimate memory
was when kind old Menno
would say to children entering
HOMESPUN
By
JIM LANGHAM
the store, Heres a small paper sack; fill it with candy that
you would like. Its my treat to
you.
Its no wonder that the
family, though prosperous in
business, was forced to move
into the upstairs of their business for a brief time following
the Great Depression. Business-wise, they had weathered
the Depression well, but Menno had given away so much
merchandise to those with
need that they could hardly afford their own living. To this
day, there is a crossbar hanging on ropes from the upstairs
ceiling where the children
played and family members
exercised.
And there it all was when
my friend gave me a tour of
her developing candle/gift
shop last week. There was
still the creaky sounds in the
floor, the candy counter and
the counter where store clerks
measured material for dresses
and blankets. The old yardstick that was used for measurement is still nailed to the

counter.
My mind walked back to the
toy section and the piles and
piles of clothes that pegged
the rumored slogan, We have
it if we can find it.
Most of the trips to Burkhalters, as many referred
to it, were for my mother and
grandmother to purchase material to make shirts for my
dad and me. While there, they
loved to browse through the
china counter and looked at
the beautiful dishes and vases.
The members of the Burkhalter family have all gone to
their reward, no doubt a large
one in light of their sacrifice
and generosity to the community. Certainly, Menno would
be eaten alive by many of the
mores of the current culture.
But last week, as I toured
the store, I still could hear his
humble voice in my mind inviting me to pick up a brown
sack and fill it with candy. The
memory is there, Im sure, not
because of the candy, but because of the impression of his
Christian spirit on my heart.

Financial Focus
Avoid Emotional Investment Decisions
By Phil Recker
Edward Jones Advisor
Whats the biggest obstacle to your ability to invest
successfully? Is it the ups and
downs of the financial markets? Political events? The
fact that you werent born
rich? Actually, the chief hurdle you face is something over
which you have control: your
own emotions.
Your emotions can lead to
a variety of ill-advised investment behaviors, such as these:
Cutting losses Declines
in the financial markets can
lead some investors to try to
cut their losses by selling investments whose price has declined. Yet, when prices have
dropped, it may actually be a
good time to buy investments,
not sell them, especially when
the investments are still fundamentally sound.
Chasing performance
In the investment world, the
flip side of fear is greed.
Just as some investors are
propelled by fear of loss, others are motivated by quick,
big gains. They may pursue
hot investments, only to be
disappointed when the sizzle quickly fizzles. Instead of
trying to score that one big
winner, you may be better off

spreading your investment dollars among a range of vehicles
stocks, bonds, government
securities, certificates of deposit (CDs) and so on. While
diversification cant guarantee
a profit or protect against loss,
it may help reduce the impact
of market volatility on your
portfolio.
Focusing on the short term
When the market is down,
you might get somewhat upset
when you view your monthly
investment statements. But any
individual statement is just a
snapshot in time; if you were
to chart your investment results
over a period of 10, 15 or 20
years, youd see the true picture
of how your portfolio is doing
and, in all likelihood, that
picture would look better than
a statement or two you received
during a down market. In any
case, dont overreact to shortterm downturns by making
hasty buy or sell decisions.
Instead, stick with a long-term
strategy thats appropriate for
your goals, risk tolerance and
time horizon.
Heading to the investment
sidelines Some people get
so frustrated over market volatility that they throw up their
hands and head to the investment sidelines until things
calm down. And its certainly
true that, when owning stocks,
there are no guarantees; you
do risk losing some, or all, of

your investment. But if you
jump in and out of the market
to escape volatility, you may
take on an even bigger risk
the risk of losing some of the
growth youll need to reach
your goals. Consider this: If
you had invested $10,000 in
a package of stocks mimicking the S&P 500 in December
1979, your investment would
have grown to more than
$426,000 by December 2013.
But if you had missed just the
10 best days of the market
during that time, your $10,000
would only have grown to less
than $206,000 a difference
of about $220,000, according to Ned Davis Research, a
leading investment research
organization. The bottom line?
Staying invested over the long
term can pay off. (Keep in
mind, though, that the S&P
500 is an unmanaged index
and isnt meant to depict an
actual investment. Also, as
youve no doubt heard, past
performance is not a guarantee
of future results.)
Our emotions are useful in
guiding us through many aspects of our lives, but when
you invest, youre better off
using your head and not your
heart.

Healthcare Exchange open enrollment
PAULDING The open enrollment period for the Healthcare Marketplace health
insurance coverage for 2016 is Nov. 1, 2015
through Jan. 31, 2016. This coverage is available through the Affordable Care Act.
You must be enrolled in health insurance
coverage by Jan. 31. If you dont have coverage in 2016, youll pay the higher of these two
amounts:
2.5% of your yearly household income
$695 per person ($347.50 per child under
18)
Some people may qualify for an exemption
from this fee. Persons missing the deadline
may not be able to purchase Marketplace coverage for 2016 until the next open enrollment
period for the following year.
If you are currently enrolled in a 2015 plan,
your benefit year ends on Dec. 31. Even if you

like your current plan, the recommendation is
to go online and check the options. You will
want to confirm that your plan is not changing
or perhaps you will find a plan that is more
affordable or has benefits that you like better.
To help with these and other insurance issues, Paulding County Hospital is designated
as a Certified Application Counselor. PCH
can assist you regarding questions about your
health care insurance options and navigating
the Health Insurance Marketplace. We can
even help you learn how to enroll.
Call 419-399-4080 Extension 209 and speak
with Amy Rager for your free assistance. If
the issue cant be handled on the phone, an
appointment can be made for individual free
assistance.

Its
source of local news
Princess Irene (often labeled Prinses Irene) is one of my most reliable perennial tulips. It is a mid- to
late season Triumph tulip, with a deep mauve color at its base, bleeding up through vibrant orange petals.
By Byron McNutt
DHI Media
Distinctly different from the
large daily newspapers, the
weekly community newspaper, and the small daily newspaper,remain the single best
source of news and information that is important to you
and is not available anywhere
else.
If you are lucky, you might
find a single story in a regional daily newspaper about our
hometown, or county, and
chances are that it will be
about a tragedy or other bad
news, controversy or very unusual event.
I bring this to your attention
this week because newspapers
nationwide are celebrating
National Newspaper Week,
Oct. 4-10. It is the 75th anniversary of this occasion and
Im sharing some thoughts
about community newspapers
written by Gene Dow a few
years ago. Dow is the publisher of the Seminole Sentinel in
West Texas.
As your local newspaper, it
is crammed full of local news,
award-winning photos and
special features. Community newspapers are treasured
because they run the whole
gauntlet of events and happenings in the communities they
serve.
They stress the strengths
of the past, school activities,
features about your neighbors,
People
Make the Difference
By
Byron McNutt
government meetings, engagements, marriages, coming
events and the things that truly
matter to you. Even obituaries
are not taken lightly.
Newspapers are the opportunity of the moment, the local merchants best and most
economical way to reach people closest totheir market.
Community newspapers are
the unofficial scrapbook fillers
of families, the carrier of glad
tidings to parents, grandparents and friends.
If thats not enough, Dow
said, your community newspaper helps create a sense
of community, where good
things happen and people
know their efforts will be recognized and rewarded. Dont
take that for granted. Your
local paper cares about your

community.
Its personal relationship
with the community extends
into every facet of leadership,
involvement, encouragement
and monetary support of those
things that are best for your
hometown and county.
Likely you have some reasons why you prefer to live in
a small town. Here are a few
other reasons:
Its the only place where
people past middle age are
called by their first names. Its
where you dont have to guess
who your enemies are. Your
friends will gladly tell you.
Its where everybody knows
everybody elses car by sight,
and also where and when it
goes. Its where theres nothing to do, but there arent
enough nights in the week to
make all the functions. And,
who can complain about the
scenic beauty?
Its where everyone becomes a neighbor when there
is a need. Its where young
people say there is nothing
to do and then are surprised
when they learn kids in the big
city are saying the same thing.
Its where businessmen
dig deep many times to help
with countless fund-raising
projects. Its where the traffic
jam ends when the light turns
green. Its where, when all
is said and done, its a pretty
good place to live.
time to tuck
those tulips in
If last week didnt serve as
a reminder that winters in our
future, then you must have
been very busy...inside. No
frost yet, but it sure felt like it
could have. Fall is such a time
of cold and warmth battling
it out, just like spring, except
that we know which side wins
this time and wed better get
ready for it.
There are things to do to get
our gardens ready for winter,
but thats a conversation well
have on another day, soon.
Right now I want to talk about
tulips. I kind of have a love/
hate relationship with them,
but it seems to go that way
with a lot of things.
There is nothing that
screams SPRING! more
than a clump of brightly colored tulips. They stand at attention and demand yours.
They make you wish your
entire yard was planted with
them when theyre spewing
all that color about.
Now is the time to plunk
those tulip bulbs in the ground
so you arent kicking yourself
next spring for not doing it. I
know, youre ready for a break.
You dont want to be out there
digging in the dirt, especially
when you have to wait so long
to reap the rewards. But dont
lose sight of the goal. When
spring gets here, youre going
to be glad you planted them.
There are 15 types of tulips
(called divisions) and some
are more reliable about returning year after year than others.
Tulips originally come from
the Himalayan mountains and
growing conditions there are
ideal for them to perennialize.
Our gardens are another story,
In the
Garden
By
Kylee Baumle
so thats why some of us might
not see our tulips year after year.
However, these types stand
a better chance of coming back
for several years: Darwin, Emperor, and Triumph. Botanical,
or species, tulips are the most
reliable of all, even naturalizing
(spreading in area) over time.
Theyre my favorites, and although theyre much smaller
in size and shorter in stature,
theyre just as colorful, and because their foliage is narrower,
it has a neater appearance as its
winding down.
Planting tulips is easy. Choose
a spot that has good drainage.
Most bulbs will rot if theyre
planted in a spot that stays wet
for long periods of time. Dig a
hole thats 3-4 times deeper than
the size of the bulbs diameter,
place the bulb pointy side up,
and cover with soil. Water them
in at planting time and layer a
couple of inches of mulch over
the top.
Now what part about growing tulips do I hate? Just one
thing, really, and thats the
carnage thats left after the
partys over. All those big,

floppy leaves and empty stems
say that a good time was had
by all, but someones got to
clean up.
Its true that you shouldnt
cut the foliage down until
it begins to turn yellow and
heres why. All that color and
frill comes at a price. The bulb
expends a lot of energy when
it blooms and the energy it
needs for the following years
blooms is partly replenished
through its leaves.
Sun, rain, and nutrients in
the soil all feed the bulb so it
can put on the show again next
spring, and through the foliage
is how the sun gets to play its
part in it all. The best gauge of
when to remove the leaves is
when theyve turned yellow
and you can pull them off the
bulb easily. If they dont come
off with an easy tug, wait a bit.
Its a different story for the
stems though. Once the flower
is finished blooming, the stem
can be cut all the way to the
ground, even if it has a couple
of small leaves attached. That
helps things to look a little better, but that foliage has to stick
around for a little while.
I think thats a small price to
pay for the scrumptious reds,
yellows, purples, peaches,
pinks, burgundies, oranges,
whites, and every color and
form in between that make us
smile at the end of a long, cold
winter, dont you?

PAULDING The Paulding County Sheriffs

Office has contracted with Lexis Nexis VitalChek Network Inc. to begin accepting credit and
debit cards. This will be implemented for concealed carry licenses and electronic (BCI and/or
FBI) background checks done at its office.
As part of its service, Lexis Nexis does charge
a processing fee for each transaction to the customer.
Upon approval, checks can be used as payment; however, cash will no longer be accepted.
This change was suggested by the County
Risk Sharing Authority, which insures Paulding
County, said Sheriff Jason K. Landers. A lot
of times, folks dont have cash with the correct
amount of change, and we dont keep cash in
this office. I have found the majority of people
do possess a credit/debit card and have requested
to use it, said Landers.
On average, about 30 individuals per month
visit the sheriffs office for fingerprinting.
419-523-3000
www.trirguns.com
Hours; M,T,Th,F 10-6; Wed 10-8; Sat 10-2
This should be a positive change for everyone.

Valid credit cards include American Express,
Discover, MasterCard and Visa.
Individuals coming to the sheriffs office for
electronic fingerprints must bring a valid reason for the specific check, as well as an address
where the results are to be sent.
So many times, potential employers send
candidates to this office simply telling them to
get fingerprints, said Landers. There are different types of fingerprints and certain information
you should bring with you to have an electronic
check done. We spend a lot of time explaining to
people what they need to have, when employers
should be doing this.
I highly recommend employers, as well as
citizens needing fingerprinted, visit our website at www.pauldingohsheriff.com, click on the
General tab, then click on WebCheck to learn

Are you doing all you can to prevent osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis is a disease of
the bones that occurs when a
person loses too much bone,
produces too little bone or both.
When a person has osteoporosis, his or her bones become
brittle and can easily break.
While osteoporosis can affect anyone, women over the
age of 50 are especially susceptible. In fact, the National Osteoporosis Foundation notes that
a womans risk of breaking a
hip due to osteoporosis is equal
to her risk of breast, ovarian
and uterine cancers combined.
In spite of the potentially
harmful effects of osteoporosis, studies indicate that only 12
percent of people with osteoporosis have had a bone mineral
density, or BMD, screening,
which is the most reliable diagnostic test for osteoporosis.
A big part of that is likely
because osteoporosis does not
always produce any recognizable symptoms, meaning many
people may have the disease
without even knowing it. Many
women are first diagnosed with
osteoporosis or bone loss after
suffering a fracture, but there
are steps women can take to
lower their risk of developing
osteoporosis.
Get enough calcium and
vitamin D. Calcium helps
women develop strong, healthy
bones, while vitamin D protects the bones and is necessary
for absorbing calcium. The human body cannot produce new
calcium, so its essential that
women get the recommended
amount of calcium from their

diets. Women 51 and older are
advised to get 1,200 milligrams
of calcium daily, and foods like
low- and non-fat milk, yogurt
and cheese are great sources
of calcium. Women can get vitamin D from sunlight; certain
foods, including fatty fish such
as salmon and tuna; and vitamin D supplements.
Eat bone-healthy foods.
The National Osteoporosis
Foundation notes that recent
research has found that blueberries, olive oil, soy beans,
and foods rich in omega-3 fatty
acids may promote bone health.
Women also should know that
even though certain foods may
contain calcium, that does not
necessarily make them ideal for
bone health. Beans, for example, contain calcium, but they
also are high in phylates, which
can interfere with the bodys
ability to absorb calcium. Soaking beans in water for several
hours before cooking them can
reduce their levels of phylates.
Watch what you drink,
too. Its not just foods that can
contribute to osteoporosis. The
beverages women drink also
can affect their risk. Caffeine
can decrease calcium absorption and contribute to bone loss,
so drink beverages like coffee
and caffeinated tea and soft
drinks in moderation. Heavy
alcohol consumption also can
cause numerous negative side
effects, not the least of which
is bone loss, so women should
only drink alcohol in modera-
Certain dairy products, including milk, are great sources of

calcium, which women need to reduce their risk of osteoporosis.
tion.
Update your fitness regimen. Women can strengthen
their bones by including some
high-impact weight-bearing exercises, which include dancing,
hiking, jogging and jumping
rope, in their fitness regimens.
In addition, add some muscle-strengthening
exercises,
such as light weightlifting, to
your routine. Yoga and Pilates
also can make valuable addi-
tions to an exercise regimen,

helping to improve balance
and reduce the risk of falls, but
women should discuss such
exercises with their physicians
before diving in, as some of the
positions in yoga and Pilates
may not be safe for older women at heightened risk of osteoporosis.

Raiders roll to homecoming victory
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
HAVILAND Cole Shepherd ran
for 151 yards on the ground and Wayne
Trace finished with 204 rushing yards
as a team in a 51-12 homecoming victory over Holgate Friday night at Raider
Field.
Wayne Trace scored on its first play
from scrimmage and never looked back
as the Raiders improved to 3-3 overall
and 2-1 in the Green Meadows Conference in front of homecoming king Arlen
Cooper and queen Shayna Temple.
The Raiders took advantage of a short
Holgate punt to start their initial possession at the Tiger 28. Following an illegal
substitution penalty on the Tigers, Shepherd scampered 23 yards out of the running back position to put the Raiders on
the scoreboard.
We wanted to get Cole more involved
in the offense, commented Raider coach
Mike Speice, who led Wayne Trace in
the absence of head coach Bill Speller.
One thing we did tonight was try and
establish the running game a little more
and I think the guys did a good job of
that.
The Raiders finished the night with
204 rushing yards on 34 carries.
Wayne Trace extended the lead to
12-0 two minutes later as quarterback
Gabe Wobler found Shepherd for a nineyard scoring strike.
Hunter Showalter then widened the
margin to 18-0 with 50 seconds left
in the opening stanza with a two-yard
plunge for a score. Shepherd added the
two-point conversion run to make it 20-0
Raiders after one stanza.
I thought we came out with good
focus and we played relaxed tonight,
Speice continued. We talked about just

playing loose and I thought we did a
good job of that.
Showalter picked up two more scores
in the second quarter. The sophomore
running back found the end zone on a
four-yard carry before returning a punt
55-yards for another score.
Hunter ran the ball well for us tonight, Speice added. It was a good
team effort overall.
Holgate got on the scoreboard when
senior quarterback Dylan Szabo found
junior Abel Corser for a 26-yard scoring
strike that got the Tigers within 32-6.
The Raiders closed out the first half
with a 15-yard touchdown toss from
Wobler to Shepherd to make it 38-6 at
the intermission.
We played pretty well in the first
half, commented the Raider coach.
Defensively, we were aggressive and
put pressure on them and we were able
to move the ball offensively.
Wayne Trace needed only one play
in the second half to find the end zone
again.
Shepherd took a handoff on the first
play of the second half and rumbled
67-yards for a touchdown that made it
44-6 Wayne Trace.
The Raiders final touchdown of the
night came when freshman quarterback
Trae Sinn hooked up with Seth Saylor
on an 18-yard touchdown pass. Quinton
Stabler converted the extra point kick to
put the Raider lead at 51-6 with 9:15 remaining in the contest.
Corser then picked up the Tigers final
points of the night as well, scoring on the
fourth play of the ensuing possession on
a 45-yard scoring run.
Overall, it was a good night and we
were able to get some kids some playing

time in the second half, Speice said.
Wayne Trace limited the Tigers to 100
yards of total offense, giving up 23 on
the ground and 77 through the air. Corser
led Holgate with 58 rushing yards while
adding 42 receiving yards.
I give those kids from Holgate a lot
of credit, concluded Speice. They
come out and they play extremely hard
from start to finish. Those kids play with
a lot of heart.
The Raiders return to Green Meadows
Conference action on Friday as Wayne
Trace makes the trip to Edgerton. Holgate also is in conference action on Friday as it welcomes in undefeated Ayersville (6-0, 2-0).
RAIDER NOTES Wayne Trace head
coach Bill Speller was not in attendance
at Fridays game due to health reasons,
missing his second game this season.
Speller also was not at the Crestview
game in week three.
BULLDOG BITS Edgerton is currently 2-3 overall and 0-2 in the Green
Meadows Conference but is coming off
of a 61-14 win at winless Fremont St. Joseph on Saturday.
Andrew Guillaume ran for 196 yards
and four touchdowns for the Bulldogs
with Landon Thiel tossing three touchdown passes and adding a rushing touchdown as well. Edgerton totaled 408 yards
(255 rushing) of offense in the contest
while limiting the Crimson Streaks to
162. Thiel was 10 of 14 passing for 150
yards.
Edgertons other win on the season
was a 59-14 victory over Edon, who
Jim Bowers/Paulding County Progress
is 0-6. The Bulldogs three losses have
come to Patrick Henry (38-21), Hicks- Trae Sinn #24 looks for a opening in the Holgate kick coverage

PAULDING On a cold
blustery homecoming Friday
night the Paulding Panthers
kept it close in their battle
with Allen East but in the end
the Mustangs ran away with
a 19-0 Northwest Conference
win to keep the Panthers winless in six tries.
Paulding put forth a solid
effort defensively but offensively couldnt find the end
zone resulting in the shutout.
Allen East used a disciplined
ground game with 60 plays
covering 318 rushing yards.
In the air, the Mustangs tallied
just 25 yards on 5-10 passing
by their junior quarterback
Kane Foster.
The visitors from Allen
County were led by Kyle
Nickles with 119 yards on 13
carries and two touchdowns.
Team mates Caleb Smelcer
and Brent Wilson were both
near 100 yard performances
with Smelcer racking up 95
yards on 16 carries and Wilson
Jim Bowers/Paulding County Progress managing 88 yards and one
Wayne Traces Eli Sinn #10 makes a valiant effort to haul in a touchdown on 24 totes. The
wind-deflected pass last Friday against Holgate.
Mustang future looks bright
with Smelcer and Wilson being juniors and Nickles only a
sophomore.
While the Mustangs were
content to control the game on
the ground, the Panthers struggled offensively all night. The
maroon-and-white rushed just
18 times and totaled only 24
yards. In the air, the Panthers
fared a little better with 86
yards on 6-22 passing.
On the first play of the
game, the Panthers surprised
the Mustang defense when
quarterback James Mourey
tossed the ball to Corbin Edwards in the back field, who
then connected with Jarrett
Sitton on a 59 yard strike.
Offensively we couldnt
get much going but we are
getting closer and closer. We
know that we have to fight on
every snap and be aggressive.
We will come back to practice
and work hard and prepare for
Ada, said head coach Tyler
Arend.
On their first possession,
Allen East needed just eight
plays to march 65 yards for
their first score. Nickles took
the pigskin in from the seven yard line for their initial
score with 7:35 remaining in
the opening period. The extra
point attempt was block giv-
ing Allen East a 6-0 margin.

On the Mustangs next series of plays, the Panther defense came up huge on an
interception by senior captain
Branson Minck. Unfortunately, the Panthers were unable
to generate much offense and
turned the ball back over to
the visitors.
On their first offensive
touch of the second quarter, Nickles darted his way
through the Paulding defense
51 yards for a score. This time
the extra point was perfect and
the Mustangs were clinging to
a 13-0 lead at the 11:45 mark
of the second quarter.
Late in the quarter Allen
East was knocking on the
door again with the ball resting on the five yard line. Trying to muscle the ball across
the goal line on a third down
play, 6-foot-4, 245 pound Panther defender Preston Johanns
found the ball as it came loose
on the turf to end the Mustang
threat.
Again, Paulding found
yards hard to come by. However, a pass from Edwards
to Sitton resulted in an Allen
East penalty and moving the
ball to the 17 yard line. With
the ball now in the red zone,
the Panthers came up empty
with four consecutive plays
netting zero yards rushing and
three incomplete passes.
The Mustangs had one last
opportunity to find the end
zone prior to intermission but
found themselves 83 yards
away. Allen East wasted little
time covering the field and
moving to the Paulding 24
yard line with time for at least
one more play. Mustang QB
Kain Foster went to the air but
Corbin Edwards made a key
defensive stop on an interception as time expired.
Following a scoreless third
quarter and the Mustangs still
hanging on to a 13-0 advantage, the Paulding defense

continued to flex their muscle
bending but not breaking.
The Mustangs opened the final
12 minutes with 10-play drive
covering 57 yards. With the
ball on the Paulding 15 yard
line on a fourth down pass
play the Mustangs failed to
complete the pass and turned
it over to the Panthers.
Paulding couldnt take advantage of the Mustang stall
and after running two offensive plays, a James Mourey
pass was picked off by Shane
Gipson, who returned it to the
Panther one yard line.
With the visitors needing
just one yard for their third
touchdown of the night, the
Paulding defense rose to the
occasion and pushed their
opponent backward 12 yards
on three rushing attempts to
score. Following an incomplete pass, the Panthers took
over at the 13 yard line.
Paulding struggled with
three consecutive incomplete
passes followed by a fourth
down run by Mourey that resulted in a minus seven yard
run.
Allen East now found themselves back in the drivers seat
just six yards from paydirt.
This time they would not disappoint their fans with Wilson
finding the end zone with 4:30
remaining. The point after
was no good to make the final
score 19-0.
Defensively, Paulding was
led by Jarrett Sitton with 11
tackles, followed by Cameron
Doster with 10, Minck adding
eight, Preston Ingol six and
Devin Gee with five.
This Friday, the Panthers
will make the trip to Ada, who
is coming off an exciting 1413 win over Crestview. The
Bulldogs stand at 4-2 overall
and 2-1 in the NWC.

HAVILAND All three Paulding County
volleyball teams picked up victories last Tuesday as Antwerp and Wayne Trace both won
in Green Meadows Conference action and
Paulding recorded a Northwest Conference
win.
At Wayne Trace, the host Lady Raiders kept
their GMC title hopes alive with a straight set
win over Edgerton.
The Raiders rallied from a 22-17 deficit in
the first set to post a 25-23 win before coasting
to victories of 25-8 and 25-15 in games two
and three to cruise to the win.
It was a crucial win for Wayne Trace as the
Raiders remained in the race for the league
crown with a 3-1 record in conference play
while improving to 8-7 overall.
We needed this win tonight, commented
Wayne Trace head coach Angie Speice. It is a
good confidence booster for us and we need to
build on this.
The Raiders struggled in the first set, never
leading until late in the game.
Trailing 22-17, the Raiders picked up two
Carissa Laukhuf kills and a Leah Maasel slam
to get within 22-21. After a kill by Edgertons
Madison Herman, Wayne Trace responded
with two kills by Erin Mohr and another from
Maasel as the Raiders rallied for a 25-23 advantage.
It was a slow start but the girls did a good
job coming from behind and continuing to battle, Speice continued.
Game two was all Wayne Trace as the Raiders scored the first eight points of the set. With
the lead at 15-7, the red-white-and-blue finished out the second set on a 10-1 run to post
the 25-8 victory.
A Kacey Reinhart slam ignited Wayne Trace
to the first six points of game three and the
Raiders never looked back.
Edgerton got as close as 10-7 before kills by
Maasel and Mohr along with a Danae Myers
ace put Wayne Trace on top 14-7.
Leading 22-15, Wayne Trace closed out the
match with a Stacy Flint slam, a Bulldog hitting error and a Mohr kill to seal the 25-15
victory.
I was pleased with the effort of the girls
tonight, concluded the Raider mentor. We
have two good teams in Lincolnview and
Hicksville on Saturday and we need to build
on this and take some confidence into those
matches Saturday.
Erin Mohr led the way for the Raiders with

14 digs and 15 kills while Danae Myers added
a dozen slams, ten digs and five blocks. Stacy Flint also chipped in 13 digs and five kills.
Kacey Reinhart posted six digs while Sadie
Sinn added nine digs and Carissa Laukhuf
recorded 25 assists. Sydney Critten finished
with seven digs and two aces as well.
Archers deal Aces
conference loss
In Antwerp, the Lady Archers held off visiting Hicksville in four sets as Antwerp improved to 11-2 on the season. The important
GMC win improves the Lady Archers to 3-1
in league action. For the Lady Aces, the loss
dropped them to 12-3 overall and 2-2 in GMC
play.
The Aces took game one 25-20 before Antwerp won the final three by scores of 25-21,
25-20 and 27-25.
We did a great job making adjustments in
the early going while continuing to play hard,
said Antwerp head coach Amy Hammer. This
was a great match that featured two very good
defensive teams.
Sydney Sheedy posted 11 kills and two aces
for the blue-and-white while Rachel Williamson added nine kills and three digs. Emily
Derck recorded eight kills, 20 assists and 10
digs with Peyton Short posting two kills, 20
assists and eight digs. Kiana Recker had a solid performance with 13 kills, 15 digs and two
aces.
Other top players for Antwerp included
Beth Hawley (three digs), Avery Braaten (21
digs), Audrie Longardner (seven digs), Sidney
Barnhouse (one ace, one dig), and Hope Smith
(three kills, one assist, two digs, one block).
We played well tonight but our home
crowd was fantastic. Our fans created a fun atmosphere to play in and they certainly helped
us in getting a very important win, concluded
Hammer.
Lady Panthers tops
Columbus Grove in three
In Northwest Conference play, Paulding
swept past Columbus Grove by scores of 2519, 27-25 and 26-24.
Jaycie Varner topped Paulding with 14 kills
and Taylor March recorded 14 digs. Audrey
Manz and Kristen Schilt both posted 19 assists
while Kelsey Beck recorded nine kills, four
aces and a dozen digs. Cassidy Posey added
10 kills.
Paulding is now 10-3 on the year while the
Panthers also improve to 4-1 in the league.

ANTWERP - The Antwerp Lady Archers
found out earlier in the week when the latest volleyball state rankings were announced, they were
one of the top ranked teams in the state in Division IV coming in at number 20. After an emotional win over conference foe Hicksville earlier
in the week, the blue-and-white was back on the
court on Thursday.
A home date with Bryan, the Archers came
out a little sluggish but settled down to defeat the
Golden Bears in three sets 25-23, 25-18, 25-9.
In the first set the Archers scored the first four
points and later in the set a Kiana Recker kill
pushed the home team lead to 11-5. The Bears
fought back to knot the score at 15 a piece and
eventually took the lead by two at 17-15. Trailing
by two the Archers answered with an 8-0 run to
take control 23-17 before settling for a two point
win.
We came out at the beginning and we were
sluggish. Thats something we need to work on
and not make a habit of in the future, said head
coach Amy Hammer.
A solid start in game two had Amy Hammers
team open up a quick 9-0 lead. The front row
play of Rachel Williamson, Recker and Sydney
Sheedy kept the Archer lead near double digits
and as many as 13 at 22-9. Bryan whittled away
at the Archer advantage to trail 24-17 but hung on
to secure the final point for the win.
It was all Archers as they made a statement in
the third set. A Sheedy kill gave the Archers an
8-1 margin forcing a Golden Bear timeout. The
Archers kept the pressure on with back-to-back
kills by Recker to put the hometown favorites up

by 11 at 16-5. The Archers continued to have control with the play of Beth Hawley, setter Peyton
Short, Emily Derck, Sidney Barnhouse, Avery
Braaten and Audrie Longardner.
We had several kids step up tonight. Beth
(Hawley) was a defensive maniac. She was picking up everything off the floor and gave us 100
percent effort all night, Hammer said with a
slight grin.
Hawley, who completed the night with seven
digs and 10-10 serving was happy with the play
of the Archers after the win.
I do whatever I can to help us win. Digging
up some of those shots that look impossible just
seems to come natural for me. I love this team and
we have jelled together. We may not start out well
but we work hard, make adjustments, and make it
work, Hawley said.
After the win that puts the Archers at 13-2,
junior Sydney Sheedy, who finished with seven
kills said about the play of the front row.
Many of us have been playing together for a
long time. We work hard at communicating and
playing together plus Peyton (Short) does a great
job setting us up.
Lady Archers contributing to the win were Rachel Williamson (20 kills, 1 block), Beth Hawley
(10-10 serving, 1 ace, 7 digs), Sidney Barnhouse
(9-9 serving, 4 digs), Emily Derck (21 assists, 6
digs), Peyton Short (12 assists, 7 kills, 4 digs),
Hope Smith (8-8 hitting, 1 kill, 1 dig), Kiana
Recker (8 kills, 29-29 serving, 3 aces, 11 digs),
Audrie Longardner (9 digs), Sydney Sheedy (1819 hitting, 7 kills, 6 digs) and Avery Braaten (4
digs)
Raiders pick up wins

over Aces, Lancers

VAN WERT Wayne Trace
posted victories over Hicksville
and host Lincolnview while the
Lancers also fell to the Aces in a
volleyball tri-match Saturday at
Lincolnview High School.
Wayne Trace improves to 10-7
on the season after the pair of victories while Hicksville is now 134. The Lancers drop to 4-16.
The Raiders opened the day
with a straight set victory over the
Lancers by scores of 25-20 and
25-14.
Wayne Trace jumped in front
5-0 in the opener, getting a pair
of kills from Erin Mohr in the
stretch.
After a Kayla Schimmoeller
kill pulled the Lancers within
5-4, the Raiders picked up a kill
by Kacey Reinhart and a Carissa
Laukhuf ace in pushing the lead
to 8-4.
With the set tied at 10-10, the
Lancers got an ace from Carly

Wendel and a kill by Lakin Brant
in opening a 14-10 advantage.
Lincolnviews lead was at 1613 following a Morgan Miller
block before a Raider timeout
seemed to turn the momentum
towards the Raiders.
Six straight Raider points followed the break, highlighted by
a pair of Mohr slams and a Reinhart kill, as Wayne Trace went in
front 19-16.
The Lancers pulled within
21-19 on a Schimmoeller hit but
would get no closer. Wayne Trace
responded with two Danae Myers kills before a Leah Maassel
slam ended the set in favor of the
Raiders, 25-20.
Game two was all Raiders. Wayne Trace scored seven
straight points early in the set,
led by two Mohr kills along with
single slams from Myers and
Laukhuf, for an 11-4 advantage.
Kills by Myers and Reinhart
along with a Sydney Critten ace
pushed the Raider lead to 16-5.

The visiting Raiders cruised
from there, picking up another
Critten ace to seal the 25-14 win
in game two.
Mohr recorded 18 kills and
nine digs for Wayne Trace while
Myers added eight digs, five kills
and three blocks. Critten chipped
in four aces and four digs and Stacy Flint recorded seven digs and
a kill. Laukhuf also posted two

Deer crashes spike in October

use these tips to help avoid
collisions with deer:
Watch for deer crossing
signs and drive with extreme
caution, especially in the
posted areas.
If you see a deer near the
road, expect that others will
follow.
Watch for deer near roadways, especially at dawn and
after sunset. About 20 percent of these crashes occur
in early morning, while over
half occur between 5 p.m.
and midnight.
After dark, use highbeams when there isnt oncoming traffic. These will
illuminate the deer eyes allowing more time to react.
Always wear safety belts
and drive at safe, sensible
speeds for road conditions.
If a vehicle strikes a deer,
motorists should report the
crash by calling local law
enforcement, the sheriffs
department, the Ohio State
Highway Patrol, or the Ohio

Department of Natural Resources even if there was
no damage to the motorists
vehicle. Motorists can claim
the carcass through those
agencies.
are expending a lot of energy just trying to get

back in the games.
Paulding would cruise to the 25-16 victory in
game two.
Game three saw a kill by Maci Baker and a
Guest tip put the Knights on top 2-0. Crestview
led 6-2 following a Dealey ace and the Knights
widened the margin to 14-8 on a Zaleski ace.
However, the Panthers answered by scoring seven
of the next eight points, getting a Varner slam to
knot the game at 15-15.
She does it all for us, Early stated of Varner.
She gets to anything and she keeps it in play for
us. Jaycie is a tremendous athlete and a great leader for us.
Two Ally McCoy kills and an Abigail Bagley
ace gave the Knights an 18-16 advantage but the
Panthers rallied from there.
Five straight Paulding points, highlighted by a
Varner slam and an ace by Cassidy Posey, put the
visiting Panthers on top 21-18.
Paulding then finished out the match, getting a
kill by Skyler McCullough, a trip from Faith Vogel and a slam by Beck to seal the 25-22 win.
These girls have a lot to be proud of, Early
concluded. The girls have accepted their roles
and they all know what they are expected to do.
It is a total team effort in the way they are playing
this year.
Meanwhile, Crestview heads into the Knight
Invitational and upcoming sectional action without the services of senior Haley Helm. Helm injured her knee against Van Wert on Monday and
awaits final word as to the extent of the injury.
We have to play through it and just continue
to compete, Gregory noted. It is something we
have to deal with but we will miss Haley. She was
a true leader for us both offensively and defensively. Right now we have to grow as a team and
build confidence in each other.
Guest topped the Knights with nine kills and
six assists while Zaleski added five kills. Bagley
paced Crestview with ten assists and Ally McCoy
posted four slams. Dealey also picked up a pair
of aces for Crestview, which falls to 8-6 overall
and 3-2 in the league. Tianna Rager chipped in a
dozen digs for the Knights.
Beck posted nine kills to top the Panthers while
Kristen Schilt added 15 assists. Taylor March also
chipped in 16 digs and Varner finished the night
a perfect 16 of 16 serving with four aces. March
was 13 of 13 serving as well.
Pauldings junior varsity recorded a straight set
win over the Knights as well to improve to 8-5 on
the season.

COLUMBUS A new
Ohio Department of Transportation safety study has
identified 10 deer crash
hotspots around the state.
Fewer daylight hours, the
increased movement of deer
due to mating season along
with hunting season, can
mean a greater risk of collisions between deer and vehicles, said ODOT director
Jerry Wray.
The top hotspot location in
the state is Ohio 64 in Lucas
County between Reed Rd.
and U.S. Route 20 Airport
Highway with 19 crashes in
2014.
In District 1, which includes Paulding County, one
hotspot is listed in Hancock County, on U.S. 224
between Road 123 and Milepost 6.
For a complete list of
hotspot crash locations, visit
www.dot.state.oh.us.
ODOT reminds drivers to
Sportswriter
CONVOY After winning only four games in
2014, the Paulding volleyball team felt they had
something to prove coming into the 2015 season.
The Panthers continued to do that with a
straight-set win over short-handed Crestview on
Thursday night as Paulding improved to 11-3
overall and 5-1 in the Northwest Conference.
Visiting Paulding controlled games one and
two, posting victories of 25-17 in the opener
and 25-16 in the middle set. The Panthers then
wrapped up the match with a 25-22 game three
victory.
Its been a lot of fun this year, commented
Paulding head coach Josh Early. The girls have
really started to believe in each other and gained
a lot of confidence and they have played with that
confidence. They have really come together this
year and they are having a lot of fun this year.
Paulding got kills from Cassidy Posey and
Kelsey Beck early in the first as the Panthers
quickly jumped in front 3-0. The Panthers widened the margin to 8-1 before two Brady Guest
kills and an Ashley Dealey ace helped Crestview
get within 10-7.
With the visiting Panthers on top 12-7, a dig
by Crestviews Sydney Bowen led to a four-point
Knight run that cut the deficit to 12-11.
A Claire Zaleski kill and a tip by Guest helped
the Knights take a 17-16 advantage but it was
all Panthers from there. Eight straight Paulding
points, including a pair of aces from Beck, gave
the visiting Panthers the game one victory.
The girls just keep playing hard and they do a
good job of picking each other up, Early continued. If one of them makes a mistake, somebody
else steps up and makes a play. It is a total team
effort.
With Paulding leading 7-5 in the second set, Jaycie Varner served for eight straight points to put the
Panthers firmly in control. Varner had three aces in
the run while Beck and Faith Vogel each added two
kills to give Paulding a 15-5 advantage.
They have a lot of weapons, commented
Knight head coach Tammy Gregory of the Panthers. They have had a nice turnaround this year.
(Jaycie) Varner has a very aggressive serve and it
affected us tonight.
The big runs are something Gregory knows
Crestview must find a way to contain.
We are allowing teams to put those runs together and that is something we need to find a way
to keep them to one or two points instead of four,
five or six, added the Knight head coach. We
