Business future both good, bad for Antwerp

By JOE SHOUSE
Progress Staff Writer
ANTWERP The Antwerp Village
Council heard from citizens in the audience who brought both good and bad
news to the overall economic structure
to the future of Antwerp. Updates on the
new fire truck as well as the new garbage
collection routine was also addressed.
On Monday, Paulding County Economic Development director Jerry Zielke
informed council that local dentist Dr.
Sarah Mowery plans to consolidate her
Paulding office with the Antwerp office
and will build a new facility in Antwerp.
She (Dr. Mowery) will close her
office in Paulding and will invest in a
new facility in Antwerp. The total cost
of the property and office will be ap-
proximately $875,000, said Zielke.

Zielke approached council requesting a
100 percent tax abatement for the project.
After some brief discussion, Councilman
Larry Ryan told Zielke that before coming to the council with the proposal, the
finance committee should be consulted.
Before we settle on this abatement,
I think the finance committee needs to
meet and discuss what we will be giving
up and what can possibly be gained by
giving the tax break, said Ryan.
A meeting is scheduled with Zielke and
the finance committee later this week.
Also addressing the council was Connie Gaisford, store manager at the River
Street Market. Gaisford, who has been
manager since the store opened two years
ago, shared with council how the store is
struggling to turn a profit and unless a

drastic change takes place, it looks like
the store will close in the fall.
I come to the meeting tonight to seek
input on what everyone feels is the problem, and if there is a problem that can be
fixed, then I will do what I can to fix it,
she said.
Admitting that store prices are higher
than the chain stores, she also told council
that she has lowered prices in six of the
stores departments and cut hours.
When asked how many the store employs, Gaisford said she thought it is
19. One council member remarked that
a closure would be a huge hit for the
community.
We have lowered our margin as
much as we can, and when we do that,
it obviously lowers our profits. We cant

go any lower and stay in business,
Gaisford said.
Mayor Tom Vanvlerah said that he
had not heard anything negative about
the store.
The biggest concern is the high
prices, said Ryan. While that seems to
be the biggest issue, everyone agreed that
the meat department and the product offered in that department is high quality.
Village resident Danny Gordon asked
council if there was any consideration to
having farmers routes in order to keep
various roads from crumbling apart.
Gordon also reminded council as he
did a few months back on why the bus

Park district board tours Maumee area land
By JUDY WELLS
Feature Writer
Last Thursday, members and
guests of the Paulding County
Park District board were treated to a tour of the 270-plus acre
Forrest Woods Nature Preserve
near Antwerp by representatives
of the Black Swamp Conservancy. Also on the tour, the board
showed off some of the properties along the Maumee River
and Rochester Park that they
hope to turn into recreational areas to be used by the public.
While on the tour, Rob Krain,
executive director of the Conservancy, and Chris Coller, land
protection specialist, educated
the members and their guests
on their organizations goals
and projects and said they hope
a long-term relationship can be
formed with the park board to
benefit Paulding and surrounding counties.
We look forward to a longterm working relationship with
the Conservancy, said Damien
Morales, chairman of the park
board. We know we will meet
with a number of challenges,
but well just take it one step at
a time. Our goal is to provide
places in the county where our
residents and visitors can take
their families to enjoy nature.
We will have plenty of room for
wildlife watching, birding, hiking and other activities.
The park board meets at the
Judy Wells/Paulding County Progress Black Swamp Nature Center.
Bird-watching is just one of the many activities that can be enjoyed by visitors to the recreational areas currently being studied Meetings are open to the public.
The next meeting is May 19.

With the arrival of spring comes the beginning
of tornado season. While tornadoes can occur at
any time of the year, the peak season in Ohio is
from March through the first week of July. For
that reason, Paulding Countys EMA director,
Edward Bohn, is planning ahead and getting prepared in the event of a worst-case scenario in the
county.
Ive been really busy since I was hired last
June, Ed says. Right now, in addition to all the
other things on my plate, my main focus is on securing funding for emergency generators and on
getting our shelter agreements updated with several different facilities in the county. And because
the Red Cross has been so busy, I have an EMA
volunteer, Phil Wells, who has taken on the task of
updating the agreements. Hes doing an excellent

job.
Phil, who is also a volunteer for the American
Red Cross in Paulding County, has had experience
setting up and managing a shelter.
Last year, the Red Cross held a full-scale mock
disaster, he explains. The scenario was that
a tornado had gone through the county and had
overturned several rail cars at the Mercer Landmark (Latty facility) on 127 south of Paulding.
In the exercise, a number of anhydrous ammonia
nurse tanks had been ruptured and a valve was
leaking on the 30,000-gallon storage tank. There
were also several injured farmers and employees
at the scene.

New waterlines and construction

starts for sewer separation project
By SAMANTHA
HABERN
Correspondent
PAULDING As Paulding
Village residents may have
noticed, construction for the
sewer separation project has
begun, with new waterlines
being put in on North Williams Street starting Monday,
April 20. At its Monday meeting, village council asked that
citizens please be patient.
Residents near construction
should have minimal if any
water disruptions.
During construction, no
through truck routes are permitted. Trucks are required to
stay out of town unless they
have business here. State de-
tours are posted north and

south of town.
The council received an
agreement between the Village of Paulding and the
Paulding Exempted Village
Schools concerning the Ohio
Department of Transportation (ODOT)s Safe Routes
to School project, scheduled
to start in May and end in August.
The agreement states that
costs for the project go over
the funded amount ($24,279);
the school district is to reimburse the village up to
$24,500. Council approved the
agreement with one no vote
cast by Randy Daeger.

Friends of the Dog

Kennel raising funds
to aid shelter dogs
For the year of 2014, the

Paulding County Dog Kennel
has helped place 134 dogs into
new homes or no kill rescue
centers. Through the help of the
kennel Facebook page, an additional 154 dogs have been reunited with their owners. These
are fantastic numbers that everyone should be very proud of.
This has been a team effort
and all involved want to continue
into 2015 with the same success.
Friends of the Paulding County
Dog Kennel (pending 501c3)is
a new organization formed to
fundraise for the shelter dogs
medical care, transport assistance and miscellaneous needs
of the shelter dogs. They have
some great ideas in the future of
applying for grants and assisting
with spay and neuter costs.
In conjunction with the Paulding County Sheriffs Office,
Dog Kennel is hosting its first
fundraiser called Paws for a
Cause. This is a designer purse
bingo event that will be held at
Grants Catering in Antwerp on
Saturday, April 25. The support

from the public has been fantastic and they have sold out.
Organizers are putting the final
touches on this event, but could
still use monetary donations.
To make a tax deductible
donation, please make checks
payable to: Friends of the Paulding County Dog Kennel, 2187
County Road 144, Antwerp OH

doing on their Facebook page

Sheriff Jason K. Landers will
be participating in the upcoming
Paws for a Cause event.
The communitys support of
this event has been great and it
should be a fun time, said Sheriff Landers. Paulding County
Dog Warden Jared Renollet has
been fortunate to have volunteers assuring the countys dogs
are properly taken care of and

this one will enable these animals receive the attention they
need.
coholic beverages will expire

and each holder must renew
their application. The state sent
a letter to the council notifying
that they may hold hearing if
they feel they need to object
a renewal permit. However,
council members felt that this
was not necessary and no such
hearings will be held.
The council heard the second
reading of Ordinance 1497-15
granting to Paulding-Putnam
Electric Cooperative Inc. the
right to acquire, construct,
maintain, and operate in the
streets, thoroughfares, alleys,
bridges and public places of
the Village of Paulding, lines
for the distribution of electric
energy to the Village and inhabitants for light, heat, power
and other purposes and for
the transmission of the same

Village.
The next council meeting
will be at 6:30 pm. Monday,
May 4.

n EMERGENCIES
Continued from Page 1A
Payne and Paulding fire departments and
Paulding EMS also participated in the exercise, as well as American Red Cross volunteers from Paulding and Van Wert counties.
In that scenario, Phil was the manager of
an emergency shelter, set up at the Church
of the Nazarene on Dooley Drive.
We had volunteers from Paulding,
Allen and Van Wert counties helping, plus
others in Putnam and Defiance counties
that were on standby, he says. All in all,
the exercise went quite well. Everything
ran very smoothly.
A shelter is a place where displaced residents can go in the event of a disaster, such
as a tornado, hazardous material spill or
high-wind damage, until it is safe for them
to return home.
If the temperature has been 100 degrees
for several days and the power goes out for
some reason, were able to set up cooling
centers, or warming centers in the winter, Phil says. We not only need to have
agreements with larger facilities, such as
the county schools, but we need the smaller
buildings to use for our cooling and warming centers. Or if a hazardous material spill
should happen and a specific area needs
to be evacuated, people need a safe place

to go until its cleaned up. With the EMA
and Red Cross working together, it will be
much more efficient and effective for everyone.
In an emergency, the American Red
Cross manages the shelter and furnishes
cots, bedding and sometimes stuffed animals and games for the kids.
Right now, our main focus is on having
adequate shelter facilities if the need arises,
Ed adds. Many of the area churches have
stepped up to offer their help, but very few
of them have back-up generators. Thats
why were working on getting funding for
those. Shelter meals are provided by either
the church where a facility is set up, a civic
group, or by the Red Cross.
Ed says hes currently working with
C&Y Oil to provide a generator to have a
means of alternate back-up power for their
gas stations and convenience stores.
At least people will be able to fill up
their gas tanks and buy some groceries, Ed
explains. They may not have the variety
of foods that would be available at a larger
store, but they wont starve. Usually when
a major weather event takes place, every-
body pitches in and helps. Its neighbors

helping neighbors.
In his effort to update the shelter agreements, Phil says the cooperation has been
nothing short of fantastic.
Ive updated eight so far and have about
25 that Im waiting to hear back from. Ive
had nothing but positive feedback, he
says. Nearly all the pastors and school administrators are more than willing to take
the time to fill out the questionnaires and
give me the information I need. Pastor Jeremy Thompson at the Church of the Nazarene is more than willing to partner with
the Red Cross in setting up a shelter at that
location.
Each facility must meet certain requirements to be used as a shelter. The amount
of floor space, the number of restrooms,
kitchen facilities and whether or not the
building meets ADA requirements must all
be taken into consideration.
Those who would like to volunteer their
church, school or other facility to be used
as a shelter may call Phil Wells at 419-9800044. To become a volunteer with the Red
Cross, call Bill Steinbrunner, disaster program manager, at 567-825-3349.

in order to store village-owned

I dont understand why we
cant get the bus garage cleaned
out and keep our equipment in it
instead of having it all sit outside

Council agreed that the garage needs cleaned out, but it
seems that everyone is too busy
at this time to do it. However,
they will take Gordons idea into

consideration and hopefully get
it cleaned out.
Earl Peters was present at the

about the possible change that

I dont think it needs to

Dandelion salad season

A beautiful April spring
day! Sun is shining and the
mercury on the thermometer
keeps rising. I love this weather and all the signs that spring
is here. The tulips are looking
really nice.
Everyone here at the Eicher
house is gone for the day except me. My husband Joe, son
Benjamin, and daughters Elizabeth, Susan, and Verena are
all at their jobs working. The
four youngest are at school.
It is too quiet with everyone
gone except for Elizabeths
two Yorkie dogs, Crystal and
Izzy. Right now they are both
sleeping.
It takes me longer to get
things done without Verenas
help. Yesterday I washed all
the laundry and it is surprising how much longer it takes
if you do it all alone. It was a
nice laundry day and the girls
helped me get the clothes in
and fold them after they were
home from work. It goes so
much faster when everyone
takes their own clothes up to
their bedrooms.
On Friday, son Benjamin
was in a two-vehicle accident
on his way home from helping
Mose at his sawmill. We are
thankful he wasnt hurt and
the rest involved had only minor injuries. It could have been
such a different ending. God
truly was watching over them.
It reminds us how quickly life
could change.
We are enjoying dandelion
salad. I will share the recipe
this week since we have quite a
few new readers that might like
the recipe.
We had to get back into the
school routine after the children were home for a week on
spring break. Joseph, 12, milks
our cow Bessie before he gets
ready for school in the mornings. He times himself on how
long it takes to milk her. He is
getting faster at it. He said he
wants to milk her in eight to 10
minutes like I can. I told him he
has to build his muscles up and
he should be able to.
When we milked cows
at home, we had some that
milked easy and some harder.
Bessie is an easy cow to milk.
I want to make butter from
the cream this afternoon. Susan brought a yogurt starter
home from Moses mother
Rosanna and tried her luck at
making yogurt with Bessies
milk. She tasted Rosannas

As farmers head into the

fields for spring planting, I
want to shine some light on a
piece of legislation that I have
introduced which is designed
to help the industry. Agritourism providers in Ohio are offering a great service to people
in our state and from around
the world, and House Bill 80
is designed to protect these
providers. The Ohio Farm Bureau Federation has declared
their support for the bill.
HB 80 gives agritourism providers a general immunity from
liability in a civil action for
any harm a participant sustains
during an agritourism activity,
if the participant is harmed as
a result of inherent risks associated with the activity. This bill,
should it become law, would
protect Ohios farmers who
seek to educate the public about
our number one industry without fear of unjustified litigation.
It means a lot that the Ohio
Farm Bureau Federation has
stood to support this legis-

Landers attends sheriffs institute
AURORA, Colo. Sheriff Jason K. Landers of

the Paulding County Sheriffs Office participation
in the 107th session of the National Sheriffs Institute (NSI) held in Aurora, Colo., April 12-17. He
is the first sheriff of Paulding County to graduate
from the NSI.
Sheriff Landers joined 27 other sheriffs from
across the country for training on contemporary
challenges facing Americas sheriffs. In light of
those challenges, the sheriffs explored the role of
the local sheriff in providing effective leadership
for the public good in such areas as public safety,
criminal justice system policy, community relations, and organization effectiveness and efficiency.
Fred G. Wilson, NSA director of operations,
said, Sheriff Landers is a leader with vision for
the Paulding County Sheriffs Office. It is an honor
to have Sheriff Landers join the more than 2,500
graduates of the NSI since 1973.
The NSI is the only national executive development program designed for sheriffs. This no-cost
program is co-sponsored by the National Institute
of Corrections (NIC) and the National SheriffsAssociation (NSA).
The NIC is a division of the U.S. Department of
Justice, Bureau of Prisons. It is the primary federal
source of technical assistance, training, and infor-
lation. The support of this

federation of 87 county farm
bureaus is a good indication
that this bill is good for the
agriculture industry in Ohio,
as their mission is to forge a
partnership between farmers
and consumers. Advocating
for Ohios farm families and
helping them in their business
is a priority of mine as well,
and legislation that promotes
agritourism and helps the
farmers who provide agritourism activities is something I
will always support.

Agriculture-related activities that provide educational,
historical, cultural or recreational value are the backbone
of the agritourism industry in
Ohio, and ensuring Ohioans
the right to provide these activities to the public is a great
step in helping this industry.
HB 80 is currently being
evaluated in the House Agriculture and Rural Development Committee, of which I
serve as the vice chairman.
I hope to see this bill move
through the legislative process so that we can start doing more to further the agritourism industry in Ohio, and
continue helping Ohios farm
families in the 82nd district
and around the state.

Business News
Community Memorial Hospital

designated as a 5 star hospital
HICKSVILLE Community
Memorial Hospital (CMH) of
Hicksville is proud to announce
that data released from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS) on April 16
show that CMH was awarded
the highest ranking possible, a 5
star rating.
Only 251 hospitals of 3,500
hospitals across the United
States ranked were awarded this
highest ranking.
This is the first time that CMS
has introduced this ranking and
the goal is to help consumers
choose a hospital and under-
stand the level of care available.

The Hospital Compare star
ratings are compiled with the
patient experience in mind and
include such topics as how well
nurses and doctors communicated with patients and how responsive hospital staff were to
patient needs.
Every inpatient receives a
survey after hospital discharge
and also covers cleanliness
and quietness of the facility
and whether or not the patient
would recommend it to others,
plus other topics.
Michelle Waggoner, CEO of
Community Memorial Hospital, said, I am very proud to be
associated with each and every
team member of our excellent
hospital. These are challenging
times for hospitals and this news
reinforces all the hard work and

attention to our patients that
every team member puts forth.
Our mission is to be a team
of caring professionals committed to serving our communities
by providing quality healthcare
services and promoting healthful living and this new rating
confirms that we are accomplishing our mission, Waggoner added.

Paulding
Some things I wonder about

We as humans do a lot of
strange things and some things
we do just becomehabitual. If
I stop and think about some
of the things I do and things I
think about, I am sure it is not
abnormal. There are just some
situations I wonder about.
For instance: sometimes Ill
look at the clock three consecutive times and still not
know what time it is. I think it
is just automatic that we look
at the time and five minutes
later look again, especially if
you want to get off of work or
leave a meeting.
Have you ever got into an argument and in the middle of it,
realized you were WRONG?
Then you wonder why you
argued in the first place? Oh,
no! That is a situation none of
us want to admit to, but it happens. (And I am not about to
admit I am wrong.)
Then have you ever wondered why there isnt a font
on the computer called sarcasm? This would be when I
want to say something funny
but I actually mean it. I wonder exactly what a sarcasm
font would look like?
Did you know that bad decisions do make good stories?
Yes, bad decisions usually
dominate the new headlines.
This is local, state and national
news. Stop and think about it.
Here is another item I always
think about. Wouldnt obituaries be a lot more interesting
if they told how the person
died? I know from looking at
old news articles deaths were
described vividly. Of course
with todays privacy acts and
many laws, you probably could
not reveal how a person died.
This isnt weird, we all wonder
about the details.
Have you ever wondered
about all the new technology? First we had records, then
8-tracks, cassettes, CDs and
A Penny for
Your Thoughts
By
Nancy Whitaker
then DVDs. I am not even
caught up from the cassettes
yet so I wonder if I should
update my collection or wait
until the next new one?
I notice that I tend to save a
persons cell phone number in
my own phone, just so I know
not to answer when they call.
(Silly or not?)
Then, why doesnt a freezer have a light in it? You dig
around in it trying to find
something and cant see what
it is till you have it out. You
may have been looking for a
steak and found fruit. What do
you think?
I dont know why, but I
have a hard time deciphering
the fine line between boredom
and hunger. The key is not to
become bored. I go look in the
refrigerator a couple of times
and usually see that I have the
same food as before. Now,
there are times I look, but I am
not hungry, so I close the door
and go back five minutes later.
Does anyone else do that or is
it just me?
Have you ever just not heard
or understood what someone
was trying to say? I think I
may say, what at least three
times, but when is it appropriate to just smile and nod your
head and pretend you heard
them?
Dont you just love to see
the sense of camaraderie when
an entire line of cars team up
to prevent a jerk from cutting
in at the front. Stay strong,
brothers and sisters! Hang together and dont let that fool
jump the line in front of us.
Then I wonder about changing pants or jeans. Shirts get
dirty. Underwear gets dirty.
Pants? Pants never get dirty,
and you can wear them forever. I remember when we
used to have a pair of pants
for everyday and a pair to
wear when we went to town.
Now, shirts, socks and underwear gets changed everyday, I
think.
Now even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone,
and trying to pin the tail on
the donkey, but I wonder how
everyone can find and push
the snooze button from three
feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time,
every time? I think the older I
get, the more things I wonder
about. We are truly a nation of
diverse people and personalities, but do you ever wonder
about these type of things?
Now, here is one more thing
to ponder: The first athletic
cup for hockey was used in
1874 and the first helmet was
used in 1974.
Of course they were used
for safety measures, but I am
just wondering why the helmet wasnt first. All we can
do is speculate, but that answer is beyond me.
We all ponder, think, wonder and speculate. What are
some of the things you wonder about? Is this just me letting my mind wonder about
these topics? Let me know and
Ill give you a Penny for Your
Thoughts.

First grade students

receive tree seedlings
By Staci Miller
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
All first grade students in the county have or
will be receiving a Blue Spruce seedling to plant
in honor of Earth Day. Paulding Soil and Water
Conservation District donated over 300 trees to
the children.
Students learned about the different parts of
a tree as well as what a tree needs to grow and
survive which includes food, water and nutrients.
They also learned about tree cookies and how the
growth rings of a tree help identify the age of the
Conservation options available to

landowners in Lake Erie Watershed
FINDLAY Farmers and
landowners in Lake Erie watershed counties can provide
quality wildlife habitat and
improve their property at the
same time by participating in
the Lake Erie Conservation
Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP), according to
the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR).
Lake Erie CREP is a voluntary program that helps agricultural producers protect environmentally sensitive land, decrease erosion, create wildlife
habitat, and safeguard ground
and surface water.Lake Erie
CREP is an incentive program
that combines resources from
partners like the Ohio Farm
Service Agency (FSA), Ohio
Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife,
Pheasants Forever, and the
Conservation Action Project,
among others, to promote the
enrollment of 67,000 acres of
farmland in a variety of conservation practices.
The program is focused on
improving water quality and
soil conservation in the Lake
Erie watershed, with a special

emphasis on the Blanchard

and Tiffin Rivers as important tributaries on the Maumee River. Lake Erie CREP
is available in 27 counties:
Allen, Ashland, Auglaize,
Crawford, Defiance, Erie, Fulton, Hancock, Hardin, Henry,
Huron, Lucas, Lorain, Marion, Medina, Mercer, Ottawa,
Paulding, Putnam, Richland,
Sandusky, Seneca, Shelby,
Van Wert, Williams, Wood
and Wyandot counties.
These conservation practices target environmentally sensitive areas in the Lake Erie
watershed to reduce sediment
and nutrients, prevent water
pollution and minimize the
risk of flooding and enhance
wildlife habitat.
Farmers and landowners
can choose from a number of
practices that provide critical
wildlife habitat including wetland restorations, floodplain
grass buffer strips, and multirow windbreaks that work
to prevent chemicals, soils,
and other contaminants from
running off cropland and into
waterways.
Participants can earn mon-
ey on less economically viable cropland, such as areas of

land that historically lay wet,
as well as cropland bordering ditch banks, streams, and
woodlots.
In exchange for installing
and maintaining these practices,
landowners earn a guaranteed
annual rental payment for 14 to
15 years, plus they will receive
cost share and incentives to
cover the majority of the cost of
practice installation.The annual
income from the conservation
practice will be similar to what
is paid for cash rent on similar
soils in the county where the
land is enrolled.Additional soil
rental rate incentives are available. FSA can provide landowners with an estimate of the
payments they will be eligible
to receive for the duration of the
contract period (14 to 15 years).
Landowners who want to
create wildlife habitat and
reduce soil erosion while
providing cleaner water may
contact ODNR Division of
Wildlife private lands biologist Mark Witt for technical
assistance at (419) 898-0960,
ext. 26.

tree. Students made their own tree cookies out of

paper plates representing their ages if they were
a live tree.
The children then got transformed into trees
where they played a game called Every Tree for
Itself. They were competing against each other
to grab their essential needs of food, water and
nutrients in order to survive.
After the presentation, each student received a
Blue Spruce seedling with planting instructions
for them to go home and plant with a loved one.
The students really enjoyed learning about the
essential needs of trees and playing the game.

Special tradition is
best birthday gift ever
Birthdays have become a very
special time of the year for me
in recent days, not because I enjoy getting older, but because of
a very special tradition that has
evolved over the years.
In the small Indiana town where
I was raised, there is a family that I
connected with years ago because
of our common love of gardening
and processing vegetables.
In addition, Terry and Deb Ehr
are cardinal people, and were
close friends with my best lifelong friend, Meredith Sprunger.
But an even deeper bond has
occurred because they had twins,
Justin and Dustin, who share my
birthday, April 1.
Unfortuantely, 18 years ago,
while they were in Louisiana,
a driver went out of control and
struck Justin while they were
taking a walk. His 7-year-old life
was snuffed out on the spot.
For many years, the family has
HOMESPUN

gone to Riverside Cemetery outside of Geneva, Ind. and released
balloons by Justins grave on the
birth date. Dustin, now 25, is still
a part of every release. Often, special words to Justin are written on
the balloons before they are sent
to Heaven.

Many years ago, with my

birthday also on April 1, I was
asked to join in this special occasion. So the tradition is that each
year I purchase a cardinal for
Deb (Justins mother) and take it
to her with a visit. Then, a little
after 4 p.m., Dustin and Terry (father) joins us and we all go to the
cemetery to release our balloons
to Justin. Then we go back to the
trailer and celebrate with a birthday cake. It is the most meaningful thing that could ever be done
on my birthday.
These days, Deb has all of the
cardinal gifts neatly displayed in
a cabinet. This years birthday
cake stated, Happy birthday,
Justin and Dustin and Jim. As
always, we embraced, experienced heaven and earth coming
together and shared what we always do on April 1, a most special friendship moment in my
heart.
Rosters for the students teams were not

available. Boys and girls are expected play.
The PHS After Prom Committee along with
the Buckeye Donkey Ball LLC are sponsoring
free donkey rides for children 12 and under.

winning the game 74-70.

Indiana sweeps Ohio in all-star classic

By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
jshouse@progressnewspaper.org
to 51-46 on a 3-pointer from

Crestviews Mitchell Rickard.
With 53 seconds remaining
Justis Dowdy from Lincolnview drained a 3-pointer followed by a quick two to pull
the Ohio team to within two
69-67 but Davison and Hardin
scored the final five points for
Indiana. With Indiana on top
74-67 Pauldings Gonzales,
who would later be named
Ohio MVP banked a 3-pointer
in the closing seconds for the
final score 74-70
While Gonzales was named
MVP for Ohio, it was David
Hardin who had earlier won
the dunk contest being name

Indianas MVP.
At halftime of the boys game
the slam dunk contest brought
the crowd to their feet. Participating in the dunk fest and
representing Ohio was 6-foot5 David Sinn from Wayne
Trace and 6-foot-4 Trenton
Copsey from Antwerp. On
the Indiana side were 6-foot5 Bradley Scott from Heritage
and David Hardin, a 5-foot-10
guard from Leo.
Although Hardin gave away
height to his competitors, he
managed near perfection on
all three of his dunks. On his
third attempt, Hardin took a

high bounce as he timed his
jump perfectly for a two-handed 360 flush that left the crowd
spellbound as the former Leo
Lion jumped past his competition with ease.
While Hardin won the dunk
contest, it was his teammate,
also from Leo, who won the
boys 3-point contest. Adam
Davison, a 6-0 shooting
guard who helped Leo carve
out a 22-3 record this past season, swept the Indiana competition. Keeping it in the Leo
family, Jenna Beer captured
the girls 3-point contest.
ANTWERP Indiana made

the trip across the state line
and swept the Ohio teams in
both the boys and girls all-star
games on Saturday night at
Antwerp. In the second annual
all-star classic sponsored by
Parkview Sports Medicine, Indiana held on to defeat Ohio in
the girls match up 36-32 while
in the boys game it was the
Indiana squad shooting past
the Ohio contingent 74-70 to
complete the sweep.
There were no girls from
Paulding County playing in
this years game. Ohios leading scorer was Julie Thatcher
from Lincolnview with 12
points followed by Erin Morrow from Van Wert with 10.
For the winning Indiana
squad, South Adams Sharon
Balsinger finished with 12
points to lead the winners.
Both Balsinger from Indiana
and Thatcher for Ohio were
named MVPs for their teams.
The boys game was an up
and down showcase with a lot
of shots but not the best percentage on either side. With
one exception, the guard play
of Leos duo Adam Davison
and David Hardin combined
for 50 points; Davison pouring
in 26 and Hardin adding 24.
Ohio took a quick 4-0 lead
on baskets from David Sinn
(Wayne Trace) and Treston
Gonzales (Paulding) but Indiana answered to take a 6-4
lead. A Corbin Linder (Wayne
Trace) 3-pointer put Ohio
back on top 7-6 but it would
be the last lead Ohio would
enjoy.
The Indiana lead would balloon to as many as 12 in the
first half but Ohio would score
the final eight points of the
half to trail 40-37 at the break.
Antwerps Trenton Copsey totaled six points in the first half,
all to the liking of the Antwerp
faithful.
The second half had Indiana
score the first seven points to
move in front 47-37 before
Ohio got on the board with a
2-point goal from Sinn.
Ohio continued to chip Wayne Traces David Sinn practices for the dunk contest last Saturday night at Antwerp. Sinn
away at the Indiana advantage along with his Ohio team mates matched up against the Indiana stars for the Parkview Sports
and managed to close the gap Medicine Basketball classic. Indiana won the boys game 74-70.
Paulding football coach resigns

By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
PAULDING After being at the helm as
Paulding football coach for two years, Kyle
Coleman has resigned.
The first time head coach explains that him
leaving is not so much about football but is a life
decision for not only himself but his family.
Making the decision to leave allows me to
get into my degree field while moving closer to
family, commented Coleman.
Coleman is a 2004 graduate of Watkins Memorial High School and a 2009 grad of Bluffton
University.
In his two seasons, Coleman guided the Panthers to three wins and 17 losses.
Ive enjoyed the athletes I have worked with
and in my two years we have enjoyed a a great
amount of support from the school, parents and
community, Coleman said.
Coleman is currently the varsity track and

field coach at Paulding and is an intervention
specialist in the classroom
Although Coleman had never assumed the
role of head coach prior to coming to Paulding,
he served as an assistant at the college level
including wide receivers coach at Adrian College.
Even with limited wins on the field, Coleman has appreciated his time at Paulding and
considers his time here as very positive.
We have taken the opportunity given us and
have impacted the lives of many young people
in a positive way. Teaching life lessons through
the game of football has not only helped many
of the players but it has made a difference in my
life as a coach, Coleman said.
The resignation and the opening for a new
coach will be made official at the next school
board meeting scheduled for April 21.

MEETING NOTES OF APPOINTMENTS
County Treasurer Lou Ann
Wannemacher, Auditor Claudia Fickel

Wannemacher presented the Investment
Report as of Feb. 27. She reported total investments of $10,392,257.96. Page two of
the Investment Report was a breakdown
of investments by banking institution,
showing interest rates, maturity dates and
interest earned per month.
Wannemacher reported interest rates
are on an upswing, but are still shaky.
She also noted the actual interest revenue
for the first quarter 2015 is slightly above
what she estimated.
Wannemacher then reviewed the real
estate tax collection report. She noted 5%
delinquency in the first half 2014 (pay
2015) taxes.
Wannemacher requested the commissioners consider holding the monthly
elected officials meetings again. The

commissioners encouraged her to send an
e-mail to determine if there is an interest
among the other elected officials.
Fickel distributed the sales tax report
for the commissioners review. She noted
the deadline to file an appeal with the
Board of Revisions is March 31. There
have been several appeals filed so far.
Fickel reported the appraiser has been
busy with the revaluation. The new fly
over services allow the appraiser to do
the necessary measuring on line from her
computer. The goal is to have updated information for tax purposes.
County Court Judge Suzanne Rister
met with the commissioners to update
them on the activity at the County Court
Annex. She and Common Pleas Court
Judge Beckman have been working together for an upcoming common pleas
trial. The trial will be held at the County
Court location for handicap accessibility.
Rister commented there will be more
expenditures than normal due to the potential number of people involved in the jury
and witnesses involved. She expects a full
courtroom for every hearing and wants to
make sure everyone attending the trial will
be taken care of. There will be maps available to those attending the court proceedings to assist them in locating restaurants

Judge Rister has intentions of utilizing

Rister then remarked how much she

that it gave them an opportunity to go
through old records and complete some
necessary purging.

Dont squish that bug!

Ewww. Bugs. Now theres
a topic that most people really
dont want to talk about and
when they do, theyre pretty
passionate about it. People
seem to either love them or
hate them. Most of the time,
its the latter.
We even malign the bugs
reputation when we use the
expression, Dont bug me!
as if bugs are a bad thing.
And sometimes they can be,
but if youre like me and believe that God put everything
in the universe here for a reason, then they cant be all bad,
right?
But before we go any further, lets clarify a few things.
When we talk about bugs, we
usually mean insects, but not
all insects are true bugs. And
not everything we call a bug
is an insect either, but we just
kind of lump them all together
like that. It can be a little confusing, not that it really matters much.
Take spiders, for instance.
All insects have six legs and
spiders have eight. Theyre
arachnids. True bugs are a
subgroup of insects that are
distinguished by their mouth
parts. True bugs suck. Literally. Examples are cicadas,
aphids, and stink bugs.
Sometimes bugs can be real
pests. While I think the Japanese beetle is an absolutely
gorgeous insect, Im not very
pleased when I see them on
my daylilies or roses. And
dont even get me started with
earwigs.*shiver*
Less than 10 percent of the
bugs youll come across in
your life are actually harmful.
The rest of them are beneficial
or whats classified as benign.
We really do need quite of
few of those bugs in order for
our garden to thrive. Some of
the very ones that make you
cringe might be just what your
flowers and vegetables need to
grow.
Many are pollinators and
you know the obvious ones
bees and butterflies. But beetles, wasps, moths and ants are
also pollinators. Other bugs
help by aiding in decomposi-
