in meth
lab bust
By NANCY WHITAKER
Progress Staff Writer
ANTWERP On Monday
evening at approximately 9
p.m., Antwerp Police Officer
Michael Kirsch was answer-
ing a routine call to 105 W.
Canal St. for a domestic issue
when he discovered what ap-
peared to be remnants of a
meth lab.
Following a search of the
residence and confiscating nu-
merous items, Daniel J. Miller,
43, was arrested by Police
Chief George Clemens on
charges of manufacturing
methanphetamine and child
endangering.
The confiscated items were
turned over to the BCII. Miller
is currently being held in the
Paulding County Jail.
When Kirsch made the dis-
covery of the suspected meth
lab, he contacted Clemens.
Clemens noted, When we
found out what we had, I
called Paulding Countys
Chief Deputy Mark Butler and
without hesitation Butler said,
I will be right there.
Clemens continued, I then
called Sheriff Jason Landers,
who had already been contact-
ed by Butler and also said, I
am on my way.
We really appreciated the
support of the Paulding

In 2010, I found out what it was like to be
sick with leukemia, observed LaFountain. I
had extreme fatigue, night sweats, terrible leg
cramps, bloodshot eyes, rapid weight loss, pale
skin and numerous nosebleeds.
The nosebleeds started while we were on va-
cation in Hawaii, said LaFountain. Af t e r
nine days of nosebleeds and numerous emer-
gency room visits, I was so weak that we had to
come home early.
LaFountain said that after a week at Paulding
Hospital, Dr. James Gray made some phone
calls and he was admitted to James Cancer
Center on the Ohio State University campus in
Columbus.
I spent eight days there and had three
plasmapheresis treatments to lower the IgM lev-
els in my blood, said LaFountain. Finally, I
was stabilized enough to start receiving two

When Paulding resident John LaFountain faced
colon surgery in 2003, he never dreamed that a
much greater nightmare was lurking behind the
scenes. It was during that surgery that physi-
cians learned that his blood count was abnormal.
The doctors diagnosed me with a form of
leukemia, I was quite shocked since I didnt feel
sick at all, just tired all of the time, said
LaFountain. I was sent to an oncologist where
I had numerous blood tests.
The doctor diagnosed the leukemia, but sent
me to Ohio State Universitys James Center for
more extensive tests, because he found some
rare markers in the blood, continued
LaFountain. That was when they made the def-
inite diagnosis of a rare type of leukemia called
Waldenstroms Macroglobulinemia.
Fortunately, at the time, the cancer was at
stage zero, so no treatment was recognized until
it began to progress. In 2006, LaFountain retired

Controversy continues over dog warden, EMA
By MELINDA KRICK and
NANCY WHITAKER
Controversy continues, on the local
and state levels, following the
Paulding County commissioners
plans to place the dog wardens office
and emergency management agency
under the authority of the county
sheriffs office.
A group of residents claims it will
pursue a recall election of two of the
three county commissioners. The
group was to meet Tuesday morning
with Prosecutor Joe Burkard, but no
additional information was available
at press time Tuesday. Check the
Progress website at www.progress-
newspaper.org for any updates.
Some state organizations are not in
favor of any county EMA being put
under control of the commissioners or
the sheriffs office. Two groups met
on Monday to discuss developments.
Three state associations comment
The Emergency Management
Association of Ohio (EMAO) held a
meeting Monday, May 20 to discuss
the developments regarding proposed
changes to Paulding County EMA.
The organization has heard that state
legislation may be introduced and has
decided to see it first before issuing
any position statements.
Chasity Schnelzenbach, EMAO
president, said, It is my position that
the EMA in any county should not be
reorganized and put under any inde-
pendent discipline such as a sheriff
office.
Schnelzenbach continued, This
discussion started approximately six
months ago when the BSSA
(Buckeye State Sheriffs Association)
drafted amendments to be put on HB
59. Those amendments which they
drafted concerned putting the dog
warden and the EMA under the juris-
diction of the county sheriff.
However, these amendments never
made it on the bill.
The EMA has to be a neutral as-
sociation which does not favor one
entity over another. The Emergency
Management is the coordinated ef-
forts of all response and support dis-
ciplines. This includes law enforce-
ment, police departments and fire
fighters.
The idea of putting an EMA office
under a sheriffs authority is just to
provide an option to counties, said
Robert Cornwell, executive director
of Buckeye State Sheriffs
Association.
Cornwell said the BSSA believes
sheriffs offices have the authority to
handle duties; in 13 Ohio counties,
the county prosecutor has issued
opinions in favor.
We need a law because some
prosecutors say no, you cant do
that, Cornwell said. We need clari-
fication if they can or cant.
He continued, Under current law
you can appoint a sheriff as EMA di-
rector. A law would make it an option
... if the commissioners or advisory
board want to do this. BSSA sup-
ports the concept if it allows commis-
sioners to be more efficient.

Memorial Day activities in honor of
deceased veterans will be held around the
county on Monday, May 27.
The public is encouraged to share in
these Memorial Day activities. Please,
take a few minutes from your busy holi-
day weekend to recognize those men and
women of our armed forces who were
killed during times of war.
Memorial Day is a sacred day to all
war veterans. Americas collective con-
sciousness demands that all citizens be
reminded of the deaths of their fellow
countrymen during wartime. By honor-
ing the nations war dead, we preserve
their memory and thus their service and
sacrifice. All U.S. flags should be dis-
played at half-staff during the morning
hours. At noon, they should be raised
back to full-staff.

parade at 10 a.m. It will line up at 9:30
a.m. at the VFW on Railroad Street.
Services will be held at Riverside
Cemetery. Afterward, lunch will be
served at the VFW.
CECIL Memorial Day services will
be held at Rochester Cemetery, Cecil, at 9
a.m. Monday. The color guard of
Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 587 of
Paulding will conduct the service.
GROVER HILL Observance of
Memorial Day in the Grover Hill area is
being planned by the members of Grover
Hill Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2873.
The day will start with a pancake and
sausage breakfast from 7:30-10 a.m., at
the post hall on South Main Street. A free
will donation will be accepted and take-
outs will be available.

conducted by the VFW Post at the veter-
ans memorial at Middle Creek
Cemetery, located one mile southeast of
Grover Hill. The Wayne Trace Band will
be providing music for the program.
The public is invited to attend both
events. Please join in as honor is paid to
our nations fallen veterans and the serv-
ice they have provided to the citizens of

PAULDING Paulding
Village Council held a special
session and a regular session
Monday, May 20.
The business of the special
meeting was to approve the
fiscal officers certification of
notes totaling $1,040,000 to be
issued for various projects,
namely; the village water-
works project, the village
sewer system, 12-inch sanitary
sewer on Road 144 (Gasser
Road), and improving North
Cherry Street, North Drive
and other roads and streets in
the village.
Council voted unanimously
to suspend the rules, declare an
emergency and then voted
unanimously in favor of the
notes.
Council then held its regular
session at 6:30 p.m.
Pool manager Kelly Gaston
told council that the pool is al-
most ready to go and is sched-
uled to open June 3. She said
they are still doing some
cleaning and minor mainte-
nance work, but things are on
schedule.
Gaston also commented that
she had seven new people on
the front desk and all the life-
guard spots are filled with ex-
perienced people.
Council declared an emer-
gency and suspended the
rules, both by a majority vote,
then unanimously approved
three resolutions to place levy
renewals on the November
ballot:
Resolution 1275-13 to
submit a 1-mill renewal recre-
ation levy on the ballot
Resolution 1276-13 for a
1-mill renewal fire levy
Resolution 1277-13 to
submit a 2.0-mill renewal for
current expenses.
Association is opposed to re-
placing EMA directors with
county sheriffs because specif-
ic knowledge and a neutral
stance is needed for the success
of this position.
It is truly a stand-alone job
that needs to relate/interface
well with elected officials,
agency administrators, and all
response disciplines. It is not a
command position but one of
all-hazards education, plan-
ning and coordination for the
entire county.
This position needs to re-
main credential based as not to
be a detriment to disaster re-
sponse.
Commissioners, prosecutor seek
consensus
Meanwhile, the Paulding
County commissioners and
Prosecutor Joe Burkard are
making visits to each village
council and township meeting
to get them to sign off and dis-
solve Paulding Countys cur-
rent EMA board. This was
deemed necessary to legally
dissolve the board.
The document that commis-
sioners are asking the 12 town-
ships and 11 villages to sign is
two sentences long and gives
no explanation, other than ...it
has become necessary to
change the method of provid-
ing EMA services.
The commissioners have not
released any plan for a pro-
posed new organization.
Haviland Mayor Richard
Bowers told the Progress that a
commissioner had visited their
council meeting last Monday
night.
According to Bowers, his
council members were told
that current EMA director
Randy Shaffer is retiring.
Bowers said he signed the
document, and then when he
got home read the article in the
newspaper that reported that
the commissioners had given
Shaffer three options. They
were to resign, retire or be
fired. Bowers thought his
council members were not told
the full story. He said he
planned to contact the
Haviland village solicitor.
Shaffer tells the Progress he
has no plans to retire.
It appears that the 1989
agreement required villages
and townships to adopt an offi-
cial resolution to enter into the
EMA agreement; however, the
same political subdivisions are
not being asked to pass any
legislation now to terminate
the agreement.
In other meetings, Payne
Council and Antwerp Council
(see related story) tabled sign-
ing the document, while
Paulding and Oakwood may-
ors have added their signa-
tures.
In a press conference on
May 6, the commissioners said
that if they dont receive the
majority signatures needed
from political subdivisions,
they have the authority to form
their own EMA board. Then,
all the townships and villages
would have to be responsible
for their own disaster plans and
directors. Due to the cost and
complexity of meeting EMA
requirements, this essentially
would force the governmental
entities to join the commission-
ers group.
Ongoing situation
The EMA director is not
only in charge of the local
EMA, but also the local LEPC
and HAZMAT response team.
Shaffer, who has been direc-
tor since 1995, was told that
the commissioners had been
approached by citizens and
first responders about an on-
going situation, but they re-
fused to elaborate, saying they
could not discuss what was
said in executive session.
The county EMA director is
hired by the seven-member
EMA executive committee,
not by the county commission-
ers.
On May 9, the Progress pre-
sented the commissioners with
a request, under Ohio Records
Law, for copies of any and all
complaints received by the
county regarding EMA service
or activities over the past 12
months. The Progress also re-
quested copies of complaints
regarding the dog wardens of-
fice for the same time period.
On May 17, this office contact-
ed the commissioners office
for a status update and was told
clerk Nola Ginter had been
working on the request and
would contact the newspaper
office.
Yet, as of press time
Tuesday, no records of any
kind had been released to the
Progress and no call was re-
ceived.
Dog warden
Supporters of dog warden
Georgia Dyson have a copy of
a prosecutors opinion from
Butler County, Ohio, dated
2008, addressing questions
relating to whether the board of
county commissioners may
transfer the dog wardens of-
fice, and the responsibility for
enforcing dog laws, to the
sheriffs office. The opinion is
states that ...commissioners
may not appoint the sheriff to
serve as the dog warden, even
if the sheriff is willing to as-
sume those responsibilities.
Further, ...our conclusion is
that the board of county com-
missioners has the sole and
nondelegable duty to employ,
as necessary, deputy dog war-
dens and to fix their compensa-
tion.
County Prosecutor Joe
Burkard was sent a copy of this
opinion and asked for com-
ment. He also was asked for a
copy of his opinion issued on
the subject to the commission-
ers.
Burkard responded by fax:
I am not able to provide that
information to you. The infor-
mation that you are requesting
is privileged information be-
tween an attorney and a
client.
a shock; I want to learn to ac-
cept what they said. But I con-
tinue to ask for the gift of
time, said LaFountain. It is a
good thing that I can still be
around other people.
We know there is no cure
yet, but who knows what the
future may bring, observed
LaFountain. I do know that
God loves me. He has given
me my wife, Sue, who is my
faithful caregiver. Weve been
married 45 wonderful years.
We have our loving daugh-
ter, Angie, and three awesome
grandchildren. Each day God
gives me is a gift, added
LaFountain. I want to thank
all of those who support the
Relay and all of the volunteers
who work tirelessly to make
our Relay such a success.
chemo drugs.
One treatment lowered my
platelets to zero and the other
caused severe reactions, con-
tinued LaFountain.
It was touch and go for
awhile, but the chemo treat-
ments were doing their job in
killing the cancer cells, so the
chemo treatments continued
for four months. Eventually
the reactions got so bad that
they had to stop the treat-
ments.
One of LaFountains biggest
concerns was that there would
be a relapse. Once he arrived
home, he was in isolation for
awhile because he had no im-
mune system left.
It took time to build it back
up; I also have neuropathy in
my feet now and that has lim-
ited my activities, LaFountain
said. I have many people
praying for me and I strongly
believe in Gods healing
power. I have a wonderful and
supportive family, friends and
church community. God has
answered all of my prayers
and has pulled me though.
This year the cancer cells
are showing up again, but they
assure me there are lots more
chemo combinations they can
try when I need them again,
LaFountain said. They also
feel that since I went so long
before the cancer went active,
that I might go a few years be-
fore I need more chemo treat-
ments.
LaFountain said that one of
the most difficult things at this
point is the fact that he cant do
much without getting tired.
This is hard. The first time
we were there (OSU), they
said that this will definitely
shorten the lifespan,
LaFountain said. It was quite

Antwerp Council says no to new EMA structure
By JOE SHOUSE
Correspondent
ANTWERP It was the Antwerp
Village Councils turn to hear from
Prosecuting Attorney Joe Burkard
and Commissioner Roy Klopfen -
stein concerning major changes
within the Emergency Management
Agency (EMA).
Currently, commissioners are
traveling the county to speak with
village and township boards and
councils seeking their support to
dissolve the county EMA and place
it under the jurisdiction of the sher-
iffs office. Included in the visits is
opportunity for a question and an-
swer time to help gain a greater un-
derstanding for the proposed
changes. However, the ultimate pur-
pose is to have villages and town-
ships sign off to end Paulding
Countys current EMA agreement.
Following the brief presentation
by Burkard and Klopfenstein,
Mayor Tom Van Vlerah said, We
want to hold off a vote until we see
the plan on paper. Later in the dis-
cussion Van Vlerah, still seeking an
answer asked again, Can we get
something in writing?
Klopfenstein responded, Thats a
fair request and yes, I will try to get
something to you.
Councilman Ken Reinhart fol-
lowed up by asking, You say there
are issues with the current EMA.
What are they? Klopfenstein said
there were personnel issues and get-
ting things done in a timely manner.
After listening to the presentation,
Councilman Larry Ryan said, I
dont think you guys have done your
work. You dont have a plan. All I
hear is, trust me, this is going to be
great.
Finally, Ryan said to Burkard,
Joe, youre a lawyer; if we vote yes
and we find out your plan fails or
goes wrong, will we get sued?
Burkards responded, I defer.
Fiscal Officer Loretta Baker
asked two questions of concern.
One, is this new change going to
save the county money? And, is it
going to be a better service?
Concerning it being a cost-cutting
measure, Klopfenstein said, I dont
think so.
At the close, council agreed not to
sign the proposed EMA agreement
and in the meantime requested a
written plan from the commission-
ers detailing what the new proposal
will include and how it will affect
their village.
Village administrator Sara Keeran
updated the council concerning sev-
eral projects. Keeran reported the
village received $42,485 from the
depot grant on May 3 for prior engi-
neering costs.
Related to the depot, the new gas
line has been installed and will
allow the new gas furnace to be in-
stalled in the next couple of weeks.
The first phase of the Safe Routes
to School sidewalk project is being
completed at this time. The new
sidewalk is located from the S
curve on East Canal Street to Kroos
Drive.
Council heard the swing set at the
park has been reset in new concrete
footers. As weather permits the ex-
isting mulch and mud will be re-
moved and new mulch installed.
The shelter house roofs and the
restroom roof have been replaced
with green metal roofing. The walls
of the park shed were covered with
white metal.
Council heard from Antwerp resi-
dent Oley McMichael who was
seeking council consideration for
some type of reimbursement for the
cost of a $900 water tap he had in-
stalled on his Daggett Street proper-
ty. Due to the construction of a du-
plex in the area, only one of the two
original water lines could be locat-
ed, causing McMichael to install an-
other meter. Council agreed to send
McMichaels request to the utility
committee for advisement.
In other business:
Council approved the annual
premium payment of $27,414 for li-
ability insurance.
Council was informed they will
receive a Workers Compensation
rebate for $23,770.
EMS had 27 runs for the
month.
Police Chief George Clemens
reported that his department re-
ceived 131 calls for service.
Council heard the second read-
ing of Ordinance No. 2013-15 relat-
ing to maintenance and energy cost
estimates in determining whether to
expend public funds for public im-
provement projects including con-
struction, renovation and remodel-
ing of public structures.
Ordinance No. 2013-16 author-
izing the amendment that allows for
the change of the original appropri-
ations amount to a new amount for
seven different funds. The motion
passed unanimously.
The first reading of Resolution
No. 2013-03 relating to the renewal
of the police levy this fall.
Council unanimously agreed to
Ordinance No. 2013-17 calling for
the continued services of Melanie L.
Farr as solicitor at the rate of $120
per hour.
The first reading of Ordinance
No. 2013-18 was presented that
calls for a fund to be provided for
the prompt repair or removal of
structures damaged by fire within
the village.

and investigation was a joint
effort by Antwerp Police and
the sheriffs department.
Butler is trained in this type
of drug bust and was the one to
put on his gear and go inside
the residence to confiscate and
clean up the meth lab contents.
Clemens went on to say that
he appreciated the cooperation
of everyone. It was well past
midnight when the bust was

also doing well since the deliv-
ery. Our miniature pony, little
Prancer, is also doing real well.
When daughter, Susan, takes
Minnie for a ride the other chil-
dren can keep him entertained
enough so Prancer wont fol-
low them. When Minnie
comes back its so cute to see
Prancer run up to her and start
nursing before she has her har-
ness off. Daughter, Lovina, 8,
spends hours with the minia-
ture ponies. Susan is training a
pony named Sunny. Lovina
can ride and drive Sunny now.
It wont be long until Sunny is
ready to go back to its owner.
Tomorrow is Ascension Day
so my husband, Joe, and
daughter, Elizabeth, wont
have to go to work. They are
both glad for the break. Eliza-
beth is working 10 hour days
again.
The children will stay home
from school on Ascension Day,
which will be a relaxing family
day in honor of our Saviors as-
cension to Heaven.
We attended church services
Sunday at our neighbors, Joas
and Susans house. We were in-
vited back for the evening meal.
It will be our turn to host church
services on June 2, Lord willing.
That day will come fast, so we
are trying to get a lot of cleaning
done.
Sister Emma and her daugh-
ter, Elizabeth, came to help us
Our garden is beginning to
fill up more and more. So far,
we have potatoes, onions,
peas, lettuce, radishes, red
beets, carrots and dill planted.
Hope to get time to plant
corn, green beans, and zuc-
chini this week yet. Ill wait
until next week to put out any
tomato and pepper plants.
The seeds we planted last
year, though, are up already.
My husband, Joe, planted
potatoes in a different way this
year. He laid them on top of the
soil and covered them thickly
with straw. From what we have
heard from people that do this
the potatoes do very well. The
straw when watered down will
keep a lot of moisture in dry
weather. It also helps keep the
weeds down.
Friday evening we had to
get the veterinarian out here
to help our horse, Itty Bit, de-
liver twin foals but both were
dead. We were disappointed,
but glad we could save Itty
Bit. This is rare that we have
two horses having full term
twins nine days apart. Itty Bit
is Gingers mother, so they
both have the same genes.
Can any of you readers give
us information on horses hav-
ing twins? What percentage of
horses have twins and what
percentage of them will live?
Ginger was able to deliver hers
without a problem. Itty Bit is
clean the canning room in the
basement yesterday. Taking all
the canned jars off the shelves
and cleaning them and putting
them back on is time consum-
ing. It really does look re-
freshed in there now.
Daughter Susan wants to
clean out the cabinets in the
basement today. While she
does that I will sew her dress,
cape and apron that she needs
for a wedding next Thursday.
Mose and Susan and Timothy
and Elizabeth will be table-
waiters at the wedding. Eliz-
abeth sewed most of her dress
on Saturday, but still needs to
finish it.
I will close for this time as
my work will not get done sit-
ting here writing. Try this de-
licious glaze on your next
angel food cake.
STRAWBERRY GLAZE
3 tablespoons clear gel
1/4 cup sugar (heaping)
1/2 cup strawberry gelatin
(heaping)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups cold water
Mix the first four ingredi-
ents together well. Stir the
cold water in the thoroughly.
Put on medium heat, stirring
constantly. Bring to a boil and
boil 2 minutes. Stir occasion-
ally while cooling. When it
gets to spreading consistency,
spread on cake. The glaze
will thicken as it cools.

Hope shines its brightest during the
Luminaria Ceremony at the
Relay For Life. Held after dark,
friends gather around the candlelit
track to remember, honor and
celebrate the lives of those who
have battled cancer.
Luminaries are small bonfires
traditional symbols that originated in
the Southwest region of the U.S. since
the 16th century, luminaries have
burned alongside the road or in church
yards as part of religious festivals and
celebrations. Each luminaria represents
not only a treasured relationship, but
also a contribution to the American
Cancer Societys mission. Luminaria
gifts support research, prevention,
early detection, and improved quality
of life for cancer patients.
Whether or not they are present at
Relay For Life, luminaria donors light
the way for hope, progress & answers.
The Luminaria Ceremony will be held
at the Relay For Life on May 31, 2013
at the Paulding County Fairgrounds.

Shout out to DJ
Dear Editor,
I am writing this letter on
behalf of the Paulding Mid-
dle School Student Council.
Recently, the student council

excellent DJ, Ralph Gonza-

I wanted to thank him and
give him a shout out for
being so kind to DJ our

Ohio fire chiefs
oppose change
to county EMAs
Dear Editor,
The Ohio Fire Chiefs As-
sociation is opposed to re-
placing EMA directors with
sheriffs.
Specific knowledge and a
neutral stance is needed for
the success of this position.
It is truly a stand-alone job
that needs to relate/interface
well with elected officials,
agency administrators, and
all response disciplines. It is
not a command position but
one of all-hazards education,
planning and coordination
for the entire county.
This position needs to re-
main credential-based as not
to be a detriment to disaster
response.

Community band
to hold concert
Dear Editor,
The Antwerp area is home
to several hard working or-
ganizations and because of
them, we have a lot to be
proud of.
We have a community that
prides itself in academic
achievement through our
local school system as well
as many home-schoolers.
We have sporting events
that bring people out to
cheer on the participants. We
have festival events that
draws folks here from all
around the area.
We have a renowned mu-
sical organization, The
Antwerp Community Band,
that is comprised of volun-
teers, not only from
Antwerp, but from the area,
including Payne, Hicksville
and Fort Wayne.
The Antwerp Community
Band is a great asset to our
community. I am proud of
the fact that I was able to be
a member for 16 years. I al-
ways look forward to the
concerts and appreciate all
the hard work that goes into
making music.
Most folks dont know the
many hours spent by these
fine musicians preparing for
a concert, if they did the
band would be more appre-
ciated.
The band will be present-
ing their spring concert at 7
p.m. Thursday, May 23 at
the Antwerp Local School.
I encourage each of you who
enjoy music to make an ef-
fort to be there. Bring your
family or a friend, and show
your appreciation to these
hard working musicians.
Cheer them on.

Teen: we have a
mess with dog
warden situation
Dear Editor,
As a high school student, I
would just like to say this:
Dont they say that Pauld-
ing County is the best place
to live? If it is the best place
to live, then why is it that
the people of Paulding
County had no say in this
[dog warden controversy]?
Why is it that they made this
choice without a vote?
I really hope that Bob
Duffey runs against [Com-
missioner] Fred Pieper. How
many dogs have been put
down since Georgia Dyson
has been warden? Did you
realize that Fred Pieper
didnt know what to say
when the question was
brought up in the meeting,
how many complaints there
have been? He handed it
over to Tony Zartman. I do
believe we have a mess and
this is what happens when
only a few people decide on
a huge aspect of a county.
We put our trust into our
commissioners and other
local government; how are
we to trust when choices like
this are made without a
heads up or a notice? How
would you feel if out of
nowhere you are told that
your job will be taken from
you in a matter of days? Is
that right?
What about the cost will
we pay more for a full-time
sheriff who may or may not
give 110% to his or her job?
Or Georgia, who in my eyes
has done a fantastic job with
what she has to work with?
Lets keep the phrase,
Paulding County is the best
place to live! Small, caring
communities!

Dog warden, EMA:
fixing something
that isnt broken?
Dear Editor,
Im quite upset about the
takeover of the dog wardens
job by the sheriffs depart-
ment.
How long ago was it that
Mandy Lichty was fired for
no good reason. Not face to
face, but by letter. I called a
commissioner and asked him
what was going on. He
didnt want to talk to me, but
some of his excuses he used:
sloppy book work. Did they
talk to her about this? No.
Did she see this coming?
No. He did say Mandy
would come any time she
was called.
She asked for a cell phone
and was told she would have
to pay for it herself. How
many of the commissioners
would go out in the middle
of the night to the far corners
of this county without a cell
phone? She did get a phone
and charged it to the com-
missioners.
Then commissioners had
Ms. [Georgia] Dyson to step
right in. Her record proves
she was a good choice. No
dog kills since August.
What is it the commis-
sioners want? Dog kills?
Mr. [Commissioner Fred]
Pieper should understand
our love for our dogs. His
mother had several St.
Bernards that I know she
loved dearly.
I have rescued 13 dogs in
my past years. I cant do it
anymore because Im not
physically able.
People should be very
concerned for the dogs who
will fall into the hands of the
Paulding County Dog Ken-
nel.
This whole thing includ-
ing whats proposed for the
EMA smells bad.
When the Toledo Blade
says Paulding County is
going backwards, people,
you need to pay attention.
Where is this going to
stop?
Who is trying to fix some-
thing that isnt broken?

Payne Chamber
preps for project
Green Awning
Demolition
Dear Editor,
The Payne Chamber of
Commerce is very close to
starting on its latest project
to restructure the downtown
business district by demol-
ishing the old bar and coffee
shop that has the green
awning on the front of the
building.
After last years large
demo project that will pro-
vide an open lot to the future
Antwerp Exchange Bank,
this building was exposed.
After further investigation is
was found to have some
very large problems of its
own; the prior owner de-
cided that she no longer
wished to pour money into
the building. The chamber
decided to proceed to pur-
chase the building for the
purpose of clearing it for fu-
ture development of the
downtown business district.
For those who havent
seen the state of disrepair it
was in, the entire kitchen
area was gone and the
kitchen floor was dirt and
stone. The bar was removed,
the walls torn down to brick,
the drop ceiling was re-
moved and it had large roof
leak that damaged a huge
portion of subflooring.
The Payne Chamber had
an environmental survey
done and found a small
amount of flooring that will
need to be abated. The envi-
ronmental abatement con-
tractor will be finished this
week with their portion of
the demo project. This clears
the way for L.J. Irving Dem-
olition to start the week fol-
lowing the Memorial Day
holiday.
The project cost of the total
project is around $48,000-
$50,000 including demo and
the building purchase itself.
The chamber will need to bor-
row additional funds to cover
the project cost and would
greatly appreciate any addi-
tional financial support from
business owners or residents
of the community. Donations
can be dropped off with
chamber treasurer Geoff
Hyman at the Antwerp Ex-
change Bank or mailed to
Payne Chamber of Commerce
at P.O. Box 411 Payne OH
45880.
Thanks to all the donors on
the Project Green Awning
as well as all the donors from
last years project.

Sheriffs Report
In My Opinion
An unremarkable brain
Well, Im happy to report that we received the results of
your MRI brain scan and the radiologist concluded that it is
unremarkable. Congratulations.
Those were the words of my family physician not long
ago, when she and I were on a quest to determine the source
of my mysterious headaches. As a patient, my first response
to this finding was an un-
equivocal Whew! I was
relieved that nothing serious
showed up.
However, the more I pon-
dered the conclusion as a
thinking, creating, emoting
human being, the more I
started to chuckle. Accord-
ing to people who study them, I have an unremarkable brain!
Im sure my high school teachers would not be surprised by
this conclusion, but still ... that fact is now documented
somewhere in my permanent medical record. And to think I
shelled out cargo-trains-full of money for undergraduate and
graduate degrees, and invested countless hours in seminars,
workshops and trainings to enhance my knowledge and skill
set. Heck, I even do the Sunday crossword puzzle and my ad-
diction to the Words with Friends online Scrabble-type game
rivals that of Alec Baldwin, who recently got thrown off a
plane for refusing to shut down his game during takeoff.
Truth is, the brain is remarkable. Even mine. According to
Oregon Health Sciences University, new findings on the
adult brain establish two principles. First, the adult brain con-
tinues to grow and develop throughout our entire lives. Sec-
ond, brain development in adulthood is shaped mostly by
outside stimuli. This new thinking means that we can do
healthy workouts for our brains, as well as our bodies.
Since I loathe exercise in the traditional sense, maybe theres
a chance I can be successful at some sort of mental calisthen-
ics.
The study says in order to continuously improve our
brains, we need to experience new things, develop new
skills, get plenty of sleep and exercise, drink lots of water,
follow a diet rich in fruits and vegetables and socialize.
This advice is not very earth-shattering, really. But the cool
part of it is that everyone is capable of building new path-
ways in their brains and increasing their mental capacity by
following a few simple steps.
Now, please excuse me Words with Friends is calling.
And now I can tell my husband its legit exercise.

In The
Garden
By
Kylee Baumle
Tips for beginning gardeners
This past week, I was inter-
viewed by a major herb and
vegetable plant company for
a series of videos theyre
doing and one of the ques-
tions they asked me was,
What is the one piece of ad-
vice you would give to a be-
ginning gardener?
In many ways, Im still a
beginning gardener myself,
but because they asked me
this question at this particular
time of year, it was easy for
me to give an answer: Dont
get in a hurry.
When I started taking an
active interest in planting the
vegetable garden, after years
of my husband being in
charge of it, Id get in a hurry.
The long winter had me
chomping at the bit to get
those seeds in the ground and
growing. But to everything
there is a season, you know.
You can put seeds in the
ground, but you cant make
them grow if the conditions
arent right. Thats why some
seed packets say to plant after
all chance of frost is past. Its
not just that frost can damage
young seedlings, the soil tem-
peratures must be optimum in
order for germination to
occur.
Get in a hurry and those
seeds are just going to sit
there and possibly even rot if
we get typical spring rains
and no heat to go with it. The
window for planting most
things is fairly big, so err on
the side of patience.
What else would I tell a be-
ginning gardener?
Dont bite off more than
you can chew. If youre like
me, once youve committed
to something, your enthusi-
asm can cause you to make
decisions that are nearly im-
possible to carry out. When
you want it all, it can be-
come work rather than a
source of enjoyment, so start
small and add to it as your
skills increase and as time
and budget allows. A garden
is always a work in progress
anyway.
Experienced gardeners
know that plants will die.
Ironically, its a fact of life
and it may or may not have
been caused by you. Give
yourself permission to make
mistakes and learn from
them. Ive always said that
Ive learned more from my
failures in the garden than my
successes.
Just as I cant take credit
for all the beautiful, thriving
plants in my garden, not all of
them that die did so as a result
of something I did. As soon
as I realized this, it allowed
me to move on and either try
again or grow something new
in its place.
You may have heard the
expression, right plant, right
place. Pay attention to it!
Putting a shade plant in full
sun is not going to make the
plant or the gardener very
happy. Likewise, a plant that
requires a lot of water isnt
going to thrive in our hot, dry
summers unless its planted in
a wet part of the garden or
youre willing to spend a lot
of time watering. Information
on plant tags is very helpful
when it comes to choosing
the right plants for your gar-
den.
Make sure the soil youre
trying to grow plants in is con-
ducive to actual plant growth.
Most gardens in Paulding
County have been blessed
with heavy mucky clay. Yes,
there are a few things that will
grow in this, but amending the
soil with organic elements such
as compost will greatly in-
crease your chances of success.
Use the abundance of re-
sources available to you to seek
answers to your questions.
Never before have we had in-
formation so easily accessible
to us. A simple phone call the
county extension office can
provide the answers to many of
your gardening questions. The
internet has also made it easy
to find information on just
about every problem you might
encounter.
Lastly, just enjoy the
process, no matter what kind of
gardener you are. Growing a
garden isnt a destination as
much as it is a wonderful,
blessed journey.

A Penny For
Your Thoughts....
By: Nancy Whitaker
WHOS AFRAID OF THE BIG
BAD WOLF?
When I was little I was
scared to death of the big bad
wolf. That imaginary wolf
frightened me because I knew
he had consumed Little Red
Riding Hood as well as the
Three Little Pigs. In fact, I used
to have nightmares about the
wolf knocking at our door and
coming after me.
I was so frightened of him
that I would hide every little
book with his picture in it.
The Big Bad Wolf, also
known as Zeke Wolf or Brer
Wolf, was a fictional character
from Walt Disneys animated
movie, Three Little Pigs. The
Big Bad Wolf was a very cun-
ning and threatening creature.
The Big Bad Wolf normally
wears a top hat, red pants,
green suspenders and white
gloves. He doesnt wear a shirt
and is barefoot and loves to
disguise himself. By doing
that, he could trick other ani-
mals, catch them and eat them
for dinner.
I have always pictured the
Big Bad Wolf as a snarling,
growling critter with big
snaggy teeth. However, a book
written in 1989, shed a whole
different light on this infamous
wolf.
The new story being told
about the wolf, suggests that
the old wolf is not Big and Bad,
but rather misunderstood, just
because he eats cute animals.
The story is now being told
from the wolfs perspective
and he portrays himself to be
rather friendly.
The new story reports that
the Big Bad Wolf had a cold,
but wanted to bake a cake for
his grandmothers birthday. He
did not have any sugar at his
house, so he had to travel to the
three little pigs houses to bor-
row a cup.
Each time one of the pigs
turned him away, his cold
caused him to huff and puff
and sneeze a really great
sneeze, therefore, accidentally
destroying the pigs house.
After the house was blown
down, the wolf decides to eat
the pig and not let good meat
go to waste, since the pig was
killed when their house went
down.
The final pigs house is not
blown away and the wolf has a
huge sneezing fit. Then the pig
insults the wolfs grandmother
which really insulted the wolf.
The authorities were called
and came and dragged a furi-
ous and flustered wolf away
and locked him up in prison. It
is from his cell in prison that he
is telling his story. It is quite a
different scenario than what
was originally written.
Isnt it strange that we also
have so called big bad wolves
in our own life? Just as the Big
Bad Wolf tried to disguise him-
self to eat the pigs, we have
people who come across as
being upright, conscientious,
honest and trustworthy citi-
zens.
A lot of them may even be
religious and community lead-
ers and you think to yourself,
Wow. Look at that charming
smile, I know I can trust him.
I hate to say this, but wear-
ing a tailor made suit, a big
phony smile and shaking
hands does in no way make
anyone honest or have in-
tegrity. In the world of poli-
tics we see a lot of greed, lies,
and dishonesty. So many
times when they are running
for office, they promise many
things if they get elected.
The same holds true for
preachers and religious lead-
ers. So many men of the cloth
have mislead people and have
pocketed millions of dollars
under the name of religion.
We have heard the com-
ment, Beware of wolves in
sheeps clothing. This phrase
originates in a sermon by
Jesus and was recorded in the
New Testament.
Jesus said, Beware of
false prophets, which come to
you in sheeps clothing, but
inwardly they are ravening
wolves. The scripture then
suggests that their true nature
will be revealed by their ac-
tions, because, By their
fruits shall ye know them.
I must have been born not
really trusting anyone but
God. Oh, I may trust a few
people, but if somebody or
something seems too good to
be true, then it probably is.
Promises are made; prom-
ises are broken and that per-
son you might have thought
you could trust may just be
nothing but a wolf in sheeps
clothing.
Do you trust everyone?
Have you ever known any-
body who appeared to be nice
on the outside, but was nasty
on the inside? Do you know
any wolves in sheeps cloth-
ing? Let me know and Ill
give you a Penny for Your
Thoughts.

It is time to rejoice in the celebration
of spring. Spring urges us to plant some-
thing, grow something, and hope-
fully, bloom something! We
are encouraged when growth
emerges from the cold, damp
ground. In no other season is
there so much anticipation.
Spring is melting snow and mud. Spring is
flooding streams, green grass and open win-
dows.
Spring is also a time to refresh priorities and
new beginnings. What new goals can we set
for progression, to better care for ourselves
and others?
Paulding County Area Foundation is setting
goals to better care for the people of Pauld-
ing County. The foundation has set a goal
to grow the General Endowment Fund.
Gifts to the endowment fund provide
broad support to the county.
Because the donor places no
restrictions on how the income
is used, the fund is most flexi-
ble in grant opportunities. Gifts
of all sizes are encouraged and appreciated. Your
gifts to the Endowment Fund positions the foun-
dation to meet new challenges and opportunities
within Paulding County.

Look for a miracle
shapes and sizes, but most are
different than what we antici-
pated and are wrapped in much
more simple packages than
what we are looking for.
I recall the day when I was
looking for some hope, some-
thing that would illumine a dif-
ficult time that I was going
through. Ironically, that piece
of encouragement came from a
huge pile of discarded flowers
in the corner of a cemetery.
There, in the midst of all of
the thrown away grave decora-
tions, somehow a beautiful
white cross had made its way
on top of the pile. Suddenly,
the thought crossed my mind,
in the midst of the pile of
throwaways, a beautiful cross
still prevailed, and, ironically,
it totally changed the tone of
the entire pile beneath its out-
stretched arms.
And then theres the mira-
cle going on around us right
now, the miracle of how dirt
Looking for a miracle? Its
been a tough week in some
peoples lives that I know; in
fact, unfortunately in the world
that we live in, somebody is al-
ways having a variety of
moods happen somewhere in
the world around us.
All you have to do is walk
through a 4-H fair and you re-
alize that. Kids are jumping
and embracing because they
just received a grand champi-
onship trophy. But not far
away, someone who worked
equally as hard all year didnt
receive the recognition for their
efforts as others did, so while
some jump and rejoice, others
hide near a quiet corner and cry
their hearts out.
In hospitals, every feeling in
the cycle of emotions is ex-
pressed in a short time. Some-
one receives tough news and
sorrows in shock; someone
else receives much better news
than expected and is pouring
forth with tears of joy. Some
are coming, some are going,
but all are experiencing the
emotions of life that rotate in a
days time.
And in the midst of it all, we
are all looking for some kind of
hope, something to hold on to
that will bring strength and
something to look forward to
for tomorrow and the next day.
Over the years, I have dis-
covered that the miracles we
are looking for come in all

The strawberry is the most
popular small fruit grown in the
home garden. It is relatively
easy to grow, produces large
quantities of good-quality fruit
without requiring extra equip-
ment, and it can be grown in
home gardens all over the state.
While strawberries will grow
in most soil types found in
Ohio, they do best on well-
drained sandy loam or loam
soils. The best site is one which
permits good soil drainage and
good surface drainage so that
water doesnt accumulate in the
area of the planting.
Where the only site available
is on heavy soils with poor soil
drainage, strawberries should be
planted on a 6-8 inch high
raised bed to encourage good
internal soil drainage.
Several types of raised beds
can be used. Raised beds can be
constructed of landscape tim-
bers or strawberry pyramids, or
soil can simple be ridged up
along a row to create the raised
bed.
Soil amendments should be
used to improve the soil to pro-
vide for adequate productivity.
There are three main types of
strawberries: June-bearing,
ever-bearing, and day-neutral.
June-bearing strawberries are
the predominant type in Ohio.
Their berries mature mostly in
June, hence the name.
Ever-bearing strawberries
produce two to three crops a
year while day-neutral may
flower and fruit throughout
the season. Most nurseries
lump ever-bearing and day
neutral types together. June-
bearing types are most pro-
ductive in Ohio while other
two types are much less pro-
ductive.
Typically, two dozen plants
are a good start for a family of
three to four people. Most of
the plants should be of a June-
bearing type, with some ever-
bearing and some day-neutral.
Common June-bearing cul-
May is the best time
to plant strawberries
tivars are Earliglow, An-
napolis, Honeoye, Allstar,
Lateglow and Ovation.
Common cultivars of day
neutral types are Albion,
Tristar and Tribute while
Ozark Beauty and Quin-
ault are two common culti-
vars of the ever-bearing
strawberry.
May is the best time to
plant strawberries. When
planting strawberries, only
bury half of the crown, which
is the short stem between
roots and leaf stems.
Please refer to OSU Exten-
sion strawberry fact sheet at
http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-
fact/1000/1424.html and the

mixed with dead seeds brings
forth glorious plants.
In 65 years, I have never
understood how dingy little
seeds tossed into piles of dirt
could somehow emerge, and
with the addition of moisture
and sunshine, could suddenly
become productive corn
stalks, huge sunflowers,
beautiful zinnias or sweet
melons.
In a few weeks, some of us
will drive around the country-
side to observe the plush
green plants that remind us
that life always wins in the
end.
Easter. Most students drew
flowers, candy, rabbits, a
cross, an empty tomb but
one student had a most
unique drawing, that of a
rainbow.
When the teacher asked the
student what that picture rep-
resented, she replied, Oh,
thats easy; rainbows live be-
cause of Easter.
Wow, as Jesus said, in the
mind of a child is the wisdom
of life.
Miracles? Take a walk and
look at the violets on the floor
of a forest, cardinals, these
days, occasional eagles and
the smile of a little child
telling us all that, Rainbows
live at Easter, a great place
to start looking for little mir-
acles in the midst of a compli-
cated world.

New owners looking to reopen railroad through county
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
The sale of the Maumee and
Western Railroad Corporation that
runs through northern Paulding
County could signal a new way of
bolstering present businesses and at-
tracting new industry to Paulding
county says Paulding County Eco-
nomic Development director Tony
Langham.
Not only could this be a boost to
current business and industry, it
could make Paulding County more
attractive for someone that needs
rail service, said Langham. This
may invite new companies to come
into Paulding County.
I hope we get a reliable working
railroad, continued Langham. I
am excited about the new ownership
of the short-line railroad that goes
through three counties. So far the
people who have purchased the rail-
road have demonstrated a real
earnest desire to start repairs, which
was not a priority for the previous
railroad.
Pioneer Railcorps subsidiary,
Michigan Southern Railroad Com-
pany, has purchased the rail line for-
merly known as the Maumee and
Western Railroad Corporation. The
newly acquired line will be operated
as the Michigan Southern Railroad
Company (MSO).
The new rail company will oper-
ate approximately 51 miles of track
from Woodburn to Liberty Center.
We have purchased this line with
the knowledge that it is in dire need
of rehabilitation due to years of de-
ferred maintenance, commented
Mike Carr, president and CEO of
Pioneer Railcorp. Our objective is
to rehabilitate the line in order to
provide consistent freight rail serv-
ice to all current and potential ship-
pers utilizing the line.
We also plan to restore two sec-
tions of track, from Napoleon to
Liberty Center and west of Defiance
to Cecil. That would offer all ship-
pers on the line connections to mul-
tiple Class 1 carriers for more
competitive access to the North
American rail system. Our company
has a proven track record of trans-
forming under-served short line rail-
roads into viable economic engines
of growth through our customer fo-
cused rail transportation.
Paulding County Commissioner
Tony Zartman said that such a reju-
venated railway would reduce the
amount of trucks and loads that are
being hauled on state routes.
This would make travel for
pedestrians safer and decrease the
cost of transportation along the
line, observed Zartman. With
these improvements, it will open up
the possibility of the future of busi-
nesses along the track. We support
this effort wholeheartedly.
Langham said that the new rail-
road has already received grant
money and that more could be pos-
sible.
All three counties (Defiance,
Paulding, Henry) now intend on
using economic development
money to help with this effort, said
Langham. We plan to take revolv-
ing loan fund money to grant
$20,000 each toward repairs.
This will demonstrate to national
and state officials that the local
communities are coming forward
with financial support, observed
Langham. Our future plan is to
apply for more federal and state
grants to repair the railroad. A viable
railroad is a very strong economic
development tool.
We are excited to service the
strong customer base located on the
railroad and appreciate the enthusi-
asm for the restoration that we have
received from the Ohio Railroad
Commission, the Defiance Eco-
nomic Development Council and
other local dignitaries, said Carr.
Our company has a proven track
record of transforming under-served
short line railroads into viable eco-
nomic engines of growth through
our customer focused rail trans-
portation.
The Napoleon, Defiance and West-
ern Railroad will maintain six full-
time employees in the Defiance area.
Pioneer Railcorp, an Iowa corpora-
tion, is a railroad holding company
that owns short line railroads and sev-
eral other railroad related businesses
including a railroad equipment com-
pany and contact switching services
company. Railroad transportation is
provided by the companys wholly-
owned short line railroad subsidiaries.
The corporation subsidiaries collec-
tively handles 25 rail operations in 14
states with over 600 miles of track
serving over 100 customers.

What do April showers create?
By Mark Holtsberry
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
Invasive species are plants
and animals not native to a re-
gion. When introduced into a
native ecosystem, they are
competing against native plants
and animals. Invasive species
can be introduced accidentally,
or on purpose. Many are
brought in with shipments of
produce or plants from foreign
countries or hitchhike on ships
and planes. Many animals are
brought in legally as pets, and
then released when people
dont want them anymore.
These non-native species get
into an ecosystem with no nat-
ural predators or means to con-
trol their population and now,
with ideal living conditions,
can reproduce out of control.
Invasive species can introduce
disease into native populations
and limit the ability of natural
systems to recover from distur-
bances.
Examples of common inva-
sive plants include garlic mus-
tard and honeysuckle with
common animals such as the
European starling, house spar-
row, emerald ash borer, zebra
mussel. Many of these species
have been in the United States
for many years.
Starlings and house spar-
rows were brought from Eu-
rope and released to remind
newly immigrant families of
their native countryside. Al-
though both these species are
well established in the ecosys-
tems, they continue to cause
problems.
The emerald ash borer, from
Asia, was accidentally intro-
duced just a few years ago and
is currently spreading very
quickly from the east coast and
has decimated populations of
ash trees in their wake.
So, what can you do to help
stop this invasion?
Plant only native plants in
your landscaping and buy
local. Plants shipped in from
other countries and even other
states can transport invasive
species, so buy local!
If you put up bird houses,
watch for and remove house
sparrow nests. These aggres-
sive birds kill bluebirds and
discourage them from nesting
in your boxes. At the feeder,
purchase black oiler sunflower
seeds or thistle which house
sparrows do not prefer. Please,
skip the cheaper mixed seed.
And above all, educate your-
self. Know what species to
watch for so you can remove
them from your yard. If we all
gain a better understanding
about the threat invasive
species pose to our native
ecosystems, we can take easy
steps now to prevent problems
in the future.

State loans available
to industrial businesses

grams. The size of the loans in this program range from
$500,000 to $1.5 million. State loans are generally only 40%
of the total project.
Eligible projects include those related to commerce, manu-
facturing, distribution or research activities.
Retail projects are ineligible for the 166 Direct Loan Fund.
Financing includes land/and or building purchase or construc-
tion, and machinery and equipment purchase.
Other requirements and fees apply.

Antwerp Schools hires new principal
By JOE SHOUSE
Correspondent
ANTWERP The resigna-
tion of principal Travis Lichty
and the hiring of his replace-
ment, the transfer of
$307,384.01 from the Ohio
School Facility fund to the local
permanent improvement fund,
future hiring of special educa-
tion teachers, and the increase in
lunch prices were some of the
main topics at the regular
monthly meeting of the
Antwerp Local School board
meeting.
Lichty, who will take a simi-
lar position at Hicksville, will
conclude his time at Antwerp on
July 31.
After the boards executive
session, superintendent Pat
Ross announced Stephanie Tear
as the new elementary principal.
Tear is currently the elementary
principal at Paulding Exempted.
Her three-year contract is effec-
tive from August 1, 2013
through July 31, 2016.
Tear was also approved as
Title I coordinator for the 2013-
14 school year.
The state-funded portion of
the new Antwerp School dating
back to 2004 is now closed. The
balance remaining consists of
earned interest in the amount of
$307,384.01 in which the
school will be able to keep. The
facility funds will be transferred
to the Permanent Improvement
fund.
A resolution relating to the
hiring of teachers previously
employed for Antwerp schools
by Western Buckeye was ap-
proved. In the future, Antwerp
will hire special education
teachers and no longer use
Western Buckeye.
There will be a slight increase
in lunch prices this year. At the
elementary level the cost will
increase 25 cents to $2.25 and at
the high school from $2.25 to
$2.50. Adult lunches will be
$3.00 with breakfast being
$1.50 and salad bar $2.50.
The five-year forecast was
presented that estimates deficit
spending during the 2013
through 2017 school years.
However, there is a positive
cash balance due to carryover
from year to year. The deficits
are not uncommon due to the
future state budget and local
economic factors along with
state and federal mandates.
In other business:
The Ohio School Plan In-
surance for liability and prop-
erty coverage will increase
almost $2,000 with the yearly
premium coming in at $33,865.
Antwerp will have a one
route system in place for next
year with one bus being added
to the route north of the river.
Through the Iowa Assess-
ment testing at the elementary
school the school received a
$6,000 honorarium for their
participation.
In consent items, the board:
approved resolution for
Memorandum of Understand-
ing between the Antwerp Edu-
cation Association and the
Antwerp Local School Board
relating to hiring teachers previ-
ously employed for Antwerp by
Western Buckeye ESC.

ing contracts for Ava
Burkheimer and Erin Lichty.

Senior Spotlight
Goal in sight, Rylee
races for the prize
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
The last couple of weeks
have been busy for Rylee Zart-
man. This past Sunday she re-
ceived her diploma along with
the rest of the graduating seniors
at Wayne Trace High School.
However, sandwiched around
graduation day are a couple of
important dates on the track.
One of those dates she has al-
ready mastered and now she
looks forward to the next im-
portant date later this week.
As a member of the Lady
Raider track and field team
Rylee and her team mates par-
ticipated in the Green Meadows
Conference meet last Friday,
May 17. It was a great night for
the record breaking runner who
finished first in the 800m run
and 4x400m relay, and second
in the 4x200m relay.
I was extremely pleased
with my times and the results. It
was a very windy night and I
didnt expect my times to be
that great but they were better
than I expected, said Rylee.
Now with the GMC behind
her and diploma in hand, Rylee
has been preparing for the next
important date the track and
field state tournament. This
week she has been fine-tuning
her skills for the first stop along
the tournament trail. On Thurs-
day and with its conclusion on
Saturday will be the district
meet at Ayersville.
I believe the 800m run is
mine to capture. I know I can
win it and if all goes well I
should make the next stop at re-
gionals in Tiffin, said the con-
fident Zartman.
In the seventh grade Rylee
began her track career because
she simply thought she could
run fast and she hasnt stopped
running fast ever since that time.
In high school she is often
called upon to run in five differ-
ent events, but OHSAA rules
only allow an individual to par-
ticipate in as many as four. Her
events include the 400m, 800m,
4x200m relay, 4x400m relay,
and the 4x800m relay.
As a junior she broke the
400m school record and then
turned around and broke her
own record during her senior
season. The current record time
is 60.93 seconds.
Rylee, who is a big Ohio State
Buckeye fan, is a lifelong resi-
dent of Payne where she lives
with her mom and dad, Andrew
and Jennifer, and younger
brother Reed, a fifth grader.
As a two-sport participant,
Rylee was also a member of the
Lady Raider varsity basketball
team as a junior and was a starter
her senior year. A defensive spe-
cialist on the court, Rylee was a
leader in snagging rebounds off
the defensive glass.
My parents have always
been there for me. They attend
the games and meets and mom
encourages me to improve and
get better. Just last week at the
GMCs I could hear my family
and especially my mom yelling
and supporting me to run
harder, said Rylee.
Not only does Rylee have her
act together out on the track, but
she is in confident with her fu-
ture plans. A top 20 student in
her class with a 3.3 GPA, Rylee
plans to attend the University of
Kent State, where she plans to
major in paralegal studies.
I will move on campus Aug.
22 and I think Im ready for the
move and a new experience in
the real world. I like meeting
new people and this will cer-
tainly give me the opportunity,
she said.
After graduating from Kent
State, Rylee plans to attend the
Indiana Tech Law School in
hopes of becoming a lawyer.
When asked how she arrived at
that decision, she shared a cou-
ple of life experiences. Well,
when I was in grade school it
seemed like kids were always
fighting and bickering and of
course I would join in the con-
versation. I would do what I
could to bring a close to the ar-
gument and afterwards my
friends would tell me that I
argue good and would end up
settling their problems, Rylee
said with a laugh.
Another life lesson that im-
pressed Rylee was in her junior
year when the late Lisa Elick
was her business law teacher.
She was a wonderful teacher
and she taught me to appreciate
everything there is about law.
In finally deciding Kent State
was the place for her, Rylee had
to use some of her lawyer in-
stincts to determine it was the
right place. She explained how
when she was a junior she first
visited the University of Cincin-
nati and fell in love with the
campus and all that was associ-
ated with it, but in the mean-
time, Kent State kept sending
her invitations to apply to their
school.
I had been accepted at UC,
but I went ahead an applied at
KSU and was accepted. I soon
made a visit and again I felt at
home there and loved all there
was about the school and cam-
pus.
Still teetering on where to at-
tend, Rylee had to weigh out all
the facts and come to some kind
of decision. She soon received
what she said was a positive
sign or confirmation that Kent
State was the place for her. I
guess the turning point was
when I was offered a Trustee
Scholarship. It was a generous
offer that will help in the finan-
cial aspect of school, she said.
Looking back on her four
years at Wayne Trace, Rylee has
nothing but fond memories and
positive thoughts about her
school.
Its a great school. Everyone
gets along and I loved it here at
Wayne Trace. Admittedly, she
is going to miss her friends and
teachers but she feels the staff
has prepared her well and is
looking forward to college.
When I think of teachers, it
was Mr. Langhals who pushed
me to do my best. Back when I
was in seventh and eighth
grade, he was my science
teacher but he was also a disci-
plinarian. He always had the
best interest of the student in
mind and encouraged me and
pushed me to work harder.
With the most important race
of her career coming up this
week, Rylee is glad she ran
track all those years.
Running track has taught me
not to give up. Often times I see
competitors in front of me and
it causes me to dig a little
deeper, run a little faster because
I know there is a goal to reach.
And with the goals facing
Rylee in the years ahead, she
will face them the same way.
Not giving up, working hard,
and winning the race.

HAVILAND Wayne
Traces Kaleigh Young was
voted the Paulding County
Softball Player of the Year for
2013 by the Paulding County
Progress in voting recently
by coaches and media mem-
bers.
Young posted a 7-4 record
on the season with a 3.38
earned run average to lead
the Lady Raiders. The senior
hurler fanned 86 hitters in 78-
2/3 innings and posted a
1.335 walks/hits to inning
pitched ratio as well.
Kaleigh was just a
tremendous leader for us this
year, noted Raider head
coach Jack Baumle. We
were a young team and she
was a great role model for the
younger girls.
At the plate, Young led
Wayne Trace with a .368 bat-
ting average and added seven
doubles and three home runs
on the season while driving
in a dozen runs. The Raider
senior also posted an on base
percentage of .377 and slug-
ging percentage of .579.
Probably the biggest sur-
prise for her this year was her
batting, continued Baumle.
She hasnt gotten to hit a lot
in the past and this year we
put her into that role and she
really excelled at it. She
ended up leading the team in
batting average. She has
worked very, very hard at im-
proving her game and I think
it paid off for her this year.
Other players named to the
First Team included Wayne
Trace teammates Mackenzie
Swary, Addison Baumle and
Brenda Feasby along with
Pauldings Kelsey Beck and
Emily Farr. The Antwerp trio
of Avery Braaten, Kaiya
Jemison and Avrial Sawyer
also garnered first team hon-
ors.
Kelsey Beck hit .422 for
the maroon and white with
15 runs scored and 14 runs
batted in while also hitting
nine doubles.
Emily Farr was 5-9 on the
mound with a 3.70 earned
run average. Farr struck out
44 hitters in 92-2/3 innings
this season and allowed 30
walks.
Avrial Sawyer batted .467
for Antwerp while adding an
on base percentage of .58 and
a slugging percentage of
.667. Sawyer posted 21 hits
on the season, including six
doubles.
Kaiya Jemison was 1-4 on
the hill for the Lady Archers,
striking out 21 in 25-1/3 in-
nings of work. Jemison also
batted .429 with nine runs
scored, three doubles and one
triple.
Avery Braaten posted 17
hits in 56 at bats, good for a
.304 average. Braaten added
a dozen runs scored, two
doubles and two triples on
the year. On the mound, the
Archer hurler was 2-9 with
65-2/3 innings, fanning 37
hitters.
Addison Baumle posted a
5-3 record for the Lady
Raiders and hit .358 at the
plate for Wayne Trace. The
sophomore added a dozen
runs scored and drove in 18
runs.
Mackenzie Swary batted
.302 with 14 runs and 10 runs
batted in on the season.
Brenda Feasby posted a
.288 average, scoring 17 runs
and driving in nine. Feasby

orable Mention honors as did

Its Hammer-time
for Archer basketball
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
ANTWERP The Antwerp
High School boys basketball
program will see little change
as TJ (Travis) Hammer
moves up a seat as the new
appointed head coach of the
Archers.
Hammer will guide the
Archers next season after
serving two years as assistant
coach to Scott McMichael.
Hammer received a unani-
mous vote at last weeks
school board meeting.
McMichael, a veteran coach,
held the head coaching posi-
tion for 13 years and resigned
at the end of the 2012-13 sea-
son.
The newly appointed
Archer head coach is excited
about the opportunity to be on
the sidelines again. Hammer
and McMichael have known
each other for 10 years or so
and have even coached
against each other.
Scott (McMichael) is a
great guy and coach and I
know I have my work cut out
to continue producing quality
teams year in and year out
like he did, commented the
new head mentor.
It was McMichael who rec-
ommended TJ for the job and
it was pretty much a done
deal based on his recommen-
dation.
Already looking ahead to
next season Hammer doesnt
expect a lot of change. The
style of play will be similar
and the coaching staff will re-
main intact.
Im very excited. We have
nine seniors returning and we
should be very competitive.
Hammer has five years var-
sity experience with success-
ful stops at Montpelier and
Edon. During his three years
(2005-08) at the helm for the
Locos, Hammer guided his
team to its first back-to-back
sectional titles. At the age of
22, while coaching at Mont-
pelier, Hammer was the
youngest varsity coach in
Ohio.
When I was at Montpelier
I wasnt teaching yet. I re-
ceived my business adminis-
tration degree at Defiance and
I opened Hammer Athletics, a
sporting goods store, in
Montpelier.
When Hammer left Mont-
pelier for Edon he closed the
store and went into full-time
teaching. During his two-year
coaching experience at Edon,
Hammer led the Bombers to
the Buckeye Border Confer-
ence title both years. It was at
Edon where TJ started teaching
special education, a position he
still holds at Antwerp Middle
School.
Hammer graduated in 2001
from Fremont Ross High
School, located between
Toledo and Sandusky, where
he played both basketball and
baseball.
My high school was a large
Division I school and the com-
petition was tough. I really
wasnt a D-I player so I had to
play hard-nosed, almost to the
point of reckless abandon, he
said with laugh. It was that
same style that allowed Ham-
mer to succeed as a college
player at Defiance. Hammer,
who graduated from Defiance
in three years, played basket-
ball during those years. I
could have played a fourth
year, but since I graduated I
didnt see any reason to pay
$15,000 in order to play bas-
ketball another year.
When asked what his
strengths are when it comes to
being a head coach, Hammer
didnt hesitate with an answer.
I am very energetic and I have
a lot of enthusiasm. Basketball
is something I love; its my
passion.
Along with a passion for the
game, Hammer is a genuine
person who talks to you like he
has known you forever. Im
an out-front kind of person. Im
open and easy to talk to. I guess
its just the way Im wired.
Hammer and his wife Amy,
who teaches in the Antwerp
school system and serves as the
girls varsity volleyball coach,
have three children, Haley, 7,
Aubrey, 5, and Tyler, 2.
We like Antwerp and be-
lieve this is where we are to
be. We have built a house
here and this is home for us.
We hope to do well and make
the community proud.
