how a small village library can be the

heart of a community than each summer
in the charming village of Oakwood,
Ohio. Nestled in a pocket of tree-lined
streets next to the Auglaize River in
southeast Paulding County, Oakwood
has long had a tradition of pride and
loyalty to its town and residents. Like the
once great river flood of over a century
ago, this pride washes over the community each year on Labor Day weekend with Oakwood Homecoming Days
and it seems the geographic heart of
the planning for this event is the rural
community public library.
Key elements of the nomination included imaginative and/or effective activities; and, activities that increase community awareness of the library, support

OAKWOOD Known simply as the
Oakwood Labor Day Homecoming, the
small village in Paulding County transforms itself into a bustling community
of activities that will appeal to all ages.
This year the Sept. 4-7 homecoming
takes on the theme of Oakwood Country Fair and with the quaint village surrounded by the beautiful country farm
fields, the fair will certainly be an exciting time throughout the village.
Events, entertainment, food and lots
of laughter will fill the streets of Oakwood as the annual homecoming is celebrated under the warmth of the summer
sun while a hint of fall fills the air. The
homecoming gives people from all over
the area and from far and wide to meet
up with old friends while making new
memories. This year, a good mixture
of the popular events from the past and
new events promises to make for another wonderful homecoming.
FRIDAY, SEPT. 4
Events are many with Friday being
the kick-off to the homecoming as the
Oakwood Community Library will host
their annual dinner. In order to reserve
the best tables please call 419-594-3337
for reservations and details. The dinner
is at 7 p.m. with proceeds going to the
library.
SATURDAY, SEPT. 5
On Saturday from 7-11 a.m. the Oakwood fire department will host a community breakfast with the American Legion
taking its turn with hosting a breakfast on
Sunday also from 7-11 a.m. at the Legion
Hall.

State award earned by Friends

of Cooper Community Library
OAKWOOD The Friends of the
Cooper Community Library, a branch
of the Paulding County Carnegie Library, are the 2015 winners of the Ohio
Library Councils (OLC) Friends of the
Library Recognition Award.
This award recognizes a Friends
group, regardless of community size,
that performs imaginative and effective activities that increase community
awareness of its library, support library
programs, and promote the mission, vision and core values of the library.
The Friends group for the Cooper
Community Library, is an energized
group of individuals who not only believe strongly in the importance of community, but also the belief that the rural
public library is the heart of the community.
According to library director Susan
Pieper, This group is highly deserving

of statewide recognition.
Pieper nominated the group for this
honor highlighting the valuable role
the group played in not only supporting the integration of the all-volunteer
Oakwood Public Library into the county library system, but in also supporting
the library team and helping sustain
phenomenal public library service in the
small community.
This group of individuals has helped
mold our branch library in Oakwood
into much more than a library. They
have helped morph the library into a
community center, into a revolving door
of activity that connects family, friends,
neighbors and newcomers with library
and community services, shares Pieper.
In the nomination letter, Pieper wrote:

Storm causes damage
director hopes to
move cause forward
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
PAULDING When Chris
Hoeffel was looking for a
variation in career change,
the answer was waiting for
him in Paulding County.
Hoeffel, of Continental, was
recently hired as the new executive director for the United Way of Paulding County.
I was looking for a new
opportunity and this fell into
my lap, said Hoeffel, recently, who spent his first
full week in the local office
last week. There were many
things that I did in my previous position that I do here. I
love working directly with
people to help move a cause
forward.
There appears to be a
great need here to get out and
talk to people, said Hoeffel.
I look forward to sharing
what United Way does, how

it affects agencies that need
money to provide their services.
Hoeffel comes from Defiance County, where he
graduated from Tinora High
School and received a BS
degree in wellness from Defiance College. For four years,
he worked as a program
manager for Defiance Area
YMCA. After a brief stint in
Columbus, he returned to the
Defiance area and worked for
the American Cancer Society
for 12 years. There he was in
charge of fundraising, volunteer recruitment and board of
director development.
While Hoeffel was attending Defiance College,
he began dating one of the
colleges premier athletes,

The northern part of Paulding County was subject to high winds as a severe thunderstorm
roared through the entire county late Sunday afternoon. This barn was brought down on Road
8, north of US 24 in Emerald Township. Other damage was seen in the area. Rainfall amounts reported across the county ranged from 1 inch in the northern tier to over 3 inches in the southern
portion of the county.

who had excelled as one of
the areas leading varsity stars
at Continental High School.
These days, the couple has
been married for 15 years and
have two children, daughter
Alexis, 13, and son Andrew,
11.
He replaces Sonya Herber,
who resigned from the position last February.
Currently, the UW of
Paulding County serves eight
agencies with a distribution
of $26,300. The fundraising
campaign goal for 2015-16 is
$75,000.
I want to hit the ground
running, said Hoeffel. I
have a certain priority list of
companies that I would like to
contact. I want people to know
that funds raised through the
local campaign stays in Paulding County. The people of

Paulding County benefit directly from it.
The median income here is
lower than some areas, noted
Hoeffel. It seems like a larger total of businesses locate
in bigger cities. When we can
bring businesses to the area,
it seems like we are bringing
more workers to the area of
donations.
I look forward to working
with the entire Paulding County community; we hope to be
able to make a difference,
continued Hoeffel.

the agency, visit its website at

library programs, and promote

the mission, vision and core values of the library.
Imaginative activities have
included numerous fundraisers
that not only brought visitors
into the library, but provided
a source of revenue to support
the maintenance of the building.
Fundraising activities have included spring teas, chocolate extravaganzas, homecoming days
dinner and the Christmas dinner.
Activities that have supported
library programming have included sponsorship of the Imagination Station (COSI), cooking
classes, scientific programs and
book clubs for various ages.
The Oakwood Public Library was founded due to the

passion of Phyllis Bidlack and
community-minded
citizens.
The library was supported by
an all-volunteer library group
known as the Oakwood Library
Association (OLA) who was
adept at holding a variety of
fundraisers to keep their community library going. They held
hog roasts, spaghetti dinners
and one of the most successful
fundraisers, selling ice-cream at
the Labor Day Oakwood Homecoming event.
The library continued on
through the 1970s, 80s and 90s,
but it soon became apparent that

they would not have the resources to acquire the computers and
online resources that were becoming a staple of the modern
public library. They wanted
their library to be more than a
reading center. It was in the late
1990s that the then president of
the OLA approached the county
system about the possibility of
becoming the third branch of the
county library system.
Director Susan Hill brought
their request to the board of
trustees and it was approved.
Hill worked with Bidlack and
the OLA and the transformation began. By March of 2000

pull at the fairgrounds in the spring.
Damien Morales and Linda Hodges,
Park District - Morales presented two
options for several lots of land owned by
the county along the rivers in Paulding

Park District to manage and develop the
lots. Option one is to lease the ground
from the county/commissioners through
a lease management agreement. The
second option is to deed the land to the
Park District through a resolution.
Morales is hopeful there will be donations to fund the liability insurance
for the Park District. He will be working with the Area Foundation to set up a
fund. The Park Districts goal is to have
boat ramps for accessibility to the rivers
every 10 miles.
Sheriff Jason Landers met with the
commissioners to update them on the
recent accident involving the inmate
transport vehicle. He was relieved to
report nobody was seriously injured.

AUDIT COMMITTEE
The commissioners hosted the quarterly Audit Committee meeting. Those
in attendance were Carol Temple, Ann
Pease, Claudia Fickel, Brenda Crawford and Cindy Peters.
Auditor Claudia Fickel reviewed the
Sales Tax Revenue report as of July 16.
July sales tax revenue was $162,848.75,
which was down slightly from June,
2015; however, up $24,063.10 from
the four-year average for the month of
July and up 8% from July 2014.
General Fund Receipts for June
were up from May 2015; but down
from June 2014 and the four year average for June. Fickel explained this was
partially due to wind turbine revenue
and tax settlement revenue not being
posted until July.
Fickel also distributed a conveyance
fee report. She noted the conveyance
fees are up 4% from 2014. Conveyance
fees are $4 on every $1,000 of real estate sales.
Fickel then reported the state audit
for 2014 is completed. The only finding was the lack of GAAP. The federal
monies audit went well. Fickel noted
next years audit will be challenging, as
the financial statements have to be done
in January versus May.
She reported the revaluation of property has begun for the year 2016, pay
2017.
In Treasurer Lou Ann Wannemachers absence, Fickel presented the delinquency/foreclosure statistics. She
reported current year tax delinquencies
of 5%, with overall being 8%. Delinquencies total $1,455,000.
Klopfenstein mentioned a couple of
employees will be attending the Sunshine Law training in Celina on Aug.
13. He also informed the group a smoking policy is being worked on.
Klopfenstein reported on the next
building project, being work in the interior of the courthouse dome/copula.
Poggemeyer Design Group is providing the engineering services for the
project, with bids being due by Aug. 17.
Klopfenstein then noted the old law
library is in the process of being leased
to the Paulding County Economic Development for office space rental to potential businesses. The goal is to jump
start the business until they are ready
to relocate in a permanent office.
Crawford reported the deadline
for filing at the Board of Elections is
Wednesday, Aug. 5. She noted the
electronic poll books will hopefully
be available to use during the fall
elections. The state will fund 85% of
the cost. Crawford also mentioned the
expense involved in the supplemental
mailing. Hopefully, the electronic poll
books will eliminate some of the mailing costs involved in updating voter
addresses.
Pease announced her new carpet and
office furniture looks nice. She noted it
was funded with Title Office revenue.
Temple noted the computers had been
recently rewired in the Recorders Office. Listing items on gov.deals should
go through Ed Bohn or Aaron Timm.
The next quarterly audit committee
meeting will be held in the commissioners office on Wednesday, Oct. 28
at 11 a.m.

Hog Run set for Oct. 3
PAULDING Paulding County Habitat

for Humanity will be constructing their next
home in Oakwood in the near future. With
funding being an important part of this community outreach, a 5K Hog Run will be held
on Oct. 3.
The 5K will run through the streets of
Paulding and a two mile walk will be through
the fairgrounds. Registration will begin at 9
a.m. and the run/walk begins at 10:30 a.m.
As in the past, the pink pig is scheduled to
lead the walk/run again this year and whoever
beats the pig will get a prize. In fact, prizes
will be awarded to those who finish in first,
second or third in the various categories.
Applications for the Hog Run can be found
on the website or from any member or by calling 419-399-4791.
A full menu will be made available from 11
a.m.-noon.
This event has taken place over the past several years and the support to Habitat for Humanity has been quite generous.
Habitat for Humanity of Paulding County is
an active organization that builds homes for
those who live in questionable living conditions. Anyone who lives in Paulding County
can apply for a Habitat home. Homes have
been built in Antwerp, Paulding, Melrose and
Haviland and the next home is going to be
built in Oakwood.
Families who participate have homes and
pay a monthly mortgage just as any family
would do but Habitat owns the mortgage for
20 years. As families pay into the mortgage,
the money goes towards the construction of
the next home. Paulding County families have
been faithful in doing this. Some have been
in the system since 2000 when the first home
was built on West Jackson Street in Paulding.
Volunteers, organizations and churches are
a huge part of getting homes built. With volunteer work and donated materials, homes
are built very reasonable in order to keep the
mortgage as low as possible. However, even
with home owners paying towards their mortgage, help is still needed when funding these
types homes.
Habitat for a Humanity is a Christian organization. New members are always welcome.

I dont want to be president
As election year approaches, candidates are out in full
force campaigning and doing
whatever they must do to try
and become president of the
United States. I guess I tend to
be more of a spectator politician and have no desire to run
for any public office.
While it would be nice to visit the White House, I wouldnt
want to live there. I bet each
president and their families
have had gone through many
experiences in their tenure at
the White House and all have
made some sort of impact on
our nation.
We always wish our kids
may grow up to be president,
however, most of those who
have been elected have had

of our presidents of the United
States (POTUS) rich and have
lots of money prior to election?
A study done in 2010 listed the poorest and wealthiest
presidents. The list may surprise you.Making the list of
the poorest presidents were
James Buchanan, Abe Lincoln, Andrew Johnson, Ulysses Grant, James Garfield,
Chester Arthur, Woodrow
Wilson, Calvin Coolidge and
Harry Truman.Most of these
presidents were not necessarily
poor but were worth $1 million
to $7 million.
You will not believe who is
at the top of the list in being
the richest president. It is none
other than George Washington.
George made most of his money with real estate.

presidents between generations is not something that can

be done with precision. Most
presidential wealth, it must
also be noted, is family money,
and its often hard to distinguish between the two.Also,
many pre-Civil War presidents
were land (and slave) rich, but
cash poor.
Theres no doubt about it:
being the U.S. president is
a hard and often thankless
job.Richard Nixon famously said, Scrubbing floors and
emptying bedpans has as much
dignity as the presidency.
I guess I am still deciding
what I want to be whenI grow
up. While being POTUS is the
top and most prestigious in the
nation, I sure would not want
to do it. Why? First of all I
dont have the money, political
savvy or even the desire to be
president of anything.

QUILT RAFFLE The Bargain Bin of Paulding County members met at The Gardens of Paulding on
Monday. A report was shared by Rhonda Smalley concerning the construction of the new Bargain Bin
facility. The $250,000 building project is scheduled to begin in early September. The organization held
a quilt raffle, and prior to the luncheon the winner was selected. Elizabeth Paulus, who cut out many
squares used for the quilt, had the honor of drawing the winning ticket. Rhonda Smalley (standing),
Erma Strahley (left) and Elizabeths daughter Carol McGrath (far right) await the name drawn. The
lucky winner of the new quilt, hand sewn by the Patchwork Pals, was Cindy Kauser.
Paulding leads state in archived county records

By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
PAYNE Terri Gorney, who
has been president of the Paulding County Genealogical Society for over two decades, told a
recent gathering at Vancrest of
Payne that the local county has
more county records than any
other county in Ohio. Currently,
there are 78,000 obituaries noted
in local records.
Much of the gathered material
has come from the expertise of
Ray Keck and Gorney herself.
Kecks information is provided
in a book he published titled,
Early Marriages and Mortality
Records of Paulding County.

Gorney recently spent an
entire morning with interested residents at the Vancrest of
Payne facility, utilizing Kecks
book and several other sources
of records to answer questions
that many residents had about
their own family. In the midst
of it, one resident learned the
final days and dwelling of a
grandmother. Another resident
learned similar information
about a grandparent.
Other members present included Marilyn Smith, longstanding member from Cecil,
and Vicky Laukhuf, activity

director at Vancrest, who arranged the meeting.

In her initial presentation,
Gorney spoke about Homer
Price and his knowledge of nature in the local county.
Homer was born here and
was a farmer, said Gorney.
He was a veteran of World War
I. When he came back, he wanted to stay in Paulding County.
He did studies in butterflies,
birds and dragonflies. One thing
we realize through him is the
fact that cardinals are not native
to this area. Early last century, there were only six nests in
a five-county area, including
Paulding County.

One of Gorneys primary resources with residents was findagrave.com. She also carried a
series of various iPods to help
with her research.
Many of the residents were
amazed to find certain connections between their births and
deaths and these of their family
members.
Census reports from Paulding County and surrounding
northwest Ohio counties are
available on microfilm from
1840 to 1930. Wills up to 1902
and marriage licenses up to
1952 are also available on microfilm, noted Gorney.
Gorney noted that Paulding
County was formed from old
Indian territory, April 1, 1820. It
was named for John Paulding,
one of three militia men who
captured Major Andre in the
Revolutionary War. Paulding
County covers 420 miles, much
of which was once covered by
the Great Black Swamp.
Laukhuf said that residents
took immediate interest in Gorneys presentation and stayed
for over an hour afterward to
receive Gorneys research assistance in looking up family
members.
I didnt know many of the
things she (Gorney) told us,
said Laukhuf. I didnt realize
that our library has all of the
genealogy material that Terri
explained to us.

The wedding day of Timothy

and daughter Elizabeth (Aug.
14) is now past. We had a few
sprinkles of rain early in the
morning and then nice weather the rest of the day. After everything was over and cleaned
up, we had a thunderstorm and
more than an inch of rain. We
were thankful that it waited to
rain until all was over.
It was hard to believe this
day was finally here after so
much preparation to get ready
for it! Joes cousin Samuel
started grilling the 350 pounds
of chicken at 4 a.m on Friday.
Around 6:30 a.m. the cooks
started arriving to get the food
prepared. Wedding services
were held at our neighbors,
Joas and Susans. Timothy,
Elizabeth and their four witnesses Mose, Susan, Ernie
and Martha (Tims sister and
her husband) left to go to the
neighbors soon after 7 a.m.
Elizabeth likes the color burgundy and Timothy likes purple, so the wedding colors were
those two colors. Elizabeth got
married in a burgundy-colored
dress with a white cape and
apron. The grooms always
wear a black suit and white
shirt, as do the witnesses.
Susan and Martha wore purple dresses with white capes
and aprons. Family members
wore a shade of rose, and the
table waiter girls wore another shade of raspberry-colored
material.
Timothys mother and I
wore dresses of a dark plum
color, and some of the helpers wore purple. The cooks
all wore dark gray. The men
and boys all wore black pants
and vests with white shirts.
Timothys nephews wore
rose-colored shirts and sharkskin-gray pants. His nieces
wore rose-colored dresses.
Around 11:30 a.m., toward the
end of the service, Bishop Leroy
asked Timothy and Elizabeth all
the marriage vows, which they
responded to with yes. There
are six questions that are asked.
Then everyone is asked to stand
for a prayer for the couple. After
the prayer the bishop takes the
hand of the bride, places it in the
hand of the bridegroom and pronounces them man and wife.
After the service ended
around noon, everyone came to
our house for the noon meal. We
estimated that there were more
than 500 people here for the
noon meal. Our menu consisted
of barbecued chicken, mashed
potatoes, gravy, noodles, dressing, corn, cheese, lettuce salad,
homemade bread, butter, strawberry jam, angel food cake (with
frosting and Danish dessert topping), dirt pudding, mixed fruit,
and cherry, pecan and peanut
butter pies. We made 25 of each
kind of pie. Candy bars were
passed around after the meal.
The same menu was served
at night, but smoked sausage
and ice cream were added to the
meal. We served around 575 for
supper.

Many people look for the secrets to investment success. Is
it timing the market just right?
Is it finding those hot stocks or
getting in on the ground floor
of the next big thing? Actually,
these types of moves have little
relevance to the vast majority of investors - even the most
successful ones. So lets take a
look at some steps you can take
that can be effective in helping
Mercy College recognizes

Wenner for excellence
BILL WENNER
DEFIANCE Bill Wenner, R.T. (R)(CT), a radiology

technologist at Mercy Defiance Clinic, was recognized
with an Excellence in Clinical
Education award at Mercy
College of Ohios Radiologic
Technology Pinning Ceremony held recently in Toledo.
Award recipients were selected by the Radiology Technology faculty from nominations written by students. Students who worked with Bill
during their rotation at Mercy
Defiance Clinic described
him as always available to

mentor students with tips
and tricks and noted how he
goes out of his way to ensure
students have a great learning environment. Students
repeatedly stated how influential award nominees and
recipients have been in their
preparation and the difference
they have made in their education.
The radiology department
at Mercy Defiance Clinic also
serves Mercy Defiance Hospital.
you work toward your financial

goals.
Its time in the marketnot
market timing. Some investors
think they can succeed at market timing - buying when the
price is low and selling when
the price is high. And this would
indeed be a good strategy if they
could predict highs and lows.
No one can accurately forecast
these peaks and valleys, though.
So, instead of ducking in and
out of the market in a vain attempt to catch the highs and
lows, simply stay invested. The
more time you spend in the market, the lesser the impact youre
likely to feel from short-term
price swings. And if youre always invested, youll always be
in a position to benefit from the
next market rally.
Its buy and hold not
buy and sell. Even if you arent trying to time the market,
you may be tempted to buy and
sell frequently as you look for
new and better opportunities.
Yet, this constant buying and
selling can be costly. Frequent
trading, with all the additions
and subtractions from your
portfolio, can make it hard
for you to follow a consistent,
unified investment strategy.
Youre better off purchasing
quality investments and holding them for the long term,
until either your needs change
or the investments themselves
no longer possess the same
attributes they did when you
purchased them.
Its building a strong foundation not getting in on the
ground floor. Many people
regret not being one of the
initial investors of a company
that has done spectacularly
well. But most new companies dont achieve anywhere
near that level of success.
So, instead of looking for the
next big thing on the ground

floor, try to build a strong
foundation consisting of a
mix of quality investments
suitable for your risk tolerance, goals and time horizon.
This type of investing may not
sound glamorous, but a strong
foundation is better equipped
than a possibly shaky ground
floor to withstand the shifting
winds of market forces.
Its cool-headed thinking
not chasing hot stocks
If you browse the Internet or
watch one of the investment
shows on cable television, you
are bound to read or hear about
hot stocks. But by the time
the news reaches you, these
stocks may already be cooling
off. Even more importantly,
they might not be right for
your needs in the first place.
Instead of chasing after hot
stocks, which, by their nature,
carry a strong emotional component (namely, the desire for
quick, big gains), try to coolly
and dispassionately analyze
your situation to determine
which investments are really
most appropriate for your
goals.
There really arent any
shortcuts to reaching your desired financial destination. But
by taking the slow and steady
path, you can work toward
getting there.

4-H youths fare well during Ohio State Fair

By Sarah Noggle
and Michael Schweinsberg
OSU Extension
COLUMBUS Just think
back to Charlottes Web, a
person pictures the thrill and
excitement of Some Pig in
a county fair setting that could
be compared to showing prize
winning livestock at the state
fair.
It brings back the memories
of fair food with Templeton
the rat with the many, many
food vendors. Fern and her
brother love to ride the rides
at the fair. All of these things
are part of The Ohio State Fair
experience, but more importantly, Paulding County 4-H
youths gained a more special
experience.
Charlottes Web by E.B.
White is a famous and longtime favorite book and movie of my family. Five quotes
from that classic lead to five
lessons that youths can learn
by comparing the lessons
learned in 4-H and the story.
The 2015 Ohio State Fair
came to a close on Aug. 9, and
31 Paulding County youths
had the opportunity to compete against peers from across
the state in both livestock and
still projects.
The following individuals were the 2015 Paulding
County representatives at
The Ohio State Fair: Autumn
Banks, Lexie Beckman, Chloe
Beining, Trent Church, Royce
Cooper, Tianna Cooper, Maggie Cox, Cara Davis, Joe Estle, Jehane Hoagland, Aaron
Horstman, Emma Horst-
man, Abram Klopfenstein,

Jeremiah Koenig, Mallory
Mansfield, Dustin McCloud,
Faith Meraz, Brooke Molitor,
Hannah Molitor, Eli Molitor,
Ethan Noggle, Jaylyn Parrett, Jocelyn Parrett, Xander
Pedraza, Rayni Rister, Bryce
Rosswurm, Dana Rosswurm,
Raelyn Schweinsberg, Jacob
Stouffer, Catherine Strable,
Kalyn Strahley and Laryssa
Whitman.
In Charlottes Web, Fern
was up at daylight, trying to
rid the world of injustice. As
a result, she now has a pig. A
small one to be sure, but nevertheless a pig. It just shows
what can happen if a person
gets out of bed promptly.
4-H takes drive and determination and those youths like Autumn Banks, Lexie Beckman,
Trent Church, Tianna Cooper,
Royce Cooper, Aaron Horstman, Faith Meraz, Jocelyn Parrett, Jalynn Parrett, and Kalyn
Strahley well know the value
of getting up at daylight, caring
not for pigs, but horses or goats.
Livestock placings and winners at the Ohio State Fair
include: Royce Cooper 1st
place, 9-year-old horse Skillathon; Tianna Cooper 3rd
place, 10-year-old horse Skillathon; Faith Meraz 1st place,
11-year-old poultry record
book and 7th place 11-yearold poultry Skillathon;
Jocelyn Parrett 2nd place,
Boer goat doe kid 6-9 month
junior division and reserve
junior champion percentage
Boer doe junior division;
Jalynn Parrett 3rd place
Boer goat doe kid 6-9 month

junior division;
Lexie Beckman 2nd place
breeding Boer goat showmanship junior division; Trent
Church 8th place small
equine pleasure driving and
7th place small equine jumper;
and Autumn Banks 8th place
pony barrels.
Children almost always
hang onto things tighter than
their parents think they will.
The fair memories are ones
the boys and girls will take
with them for a lifetime. These
memories with their families
and friends, near and far, make
a connection to others in life.
Rayni Rister and her mother had the opportunity to stay
in the dorms and meet other
youths from all over Ohio.
Rayni received an Outstanding of the Day for her First Aid
in Action project.
Wilbur didnt want food,
he wanted love.
4-H creates a love of the
atmosphere of the show or
interview. Whether the exhibitors win or lose, they develop
valuable skills that can be used
later in life. For those who do
not take livestock, there are
other still projects, like robotics, sewing, arts, cooking,
rockets, small engines, art and
collectibles.
Mallory Mansfield received
the clock trophy (first place) in
You and Your Dog interviews,
ages 11-13. This is the highest
award youths can receive at
the Ohio State Fair.
Five local 4-Hers received
Outstanding of the Day for
still projects: Maggie Cox,
Beginner Cake Decorating, junior division; Catherine Strable, Ohio Birds; Dustyn McCloud, Tractors intermediate
division; Abram Klopfenstein,
Welding and in Health and
Safety Speaking; and Chloe
Beining, Cat 1 interviews.
Life is always a rich and
steady time when you are
waiting for something to happen or to hatch.
If not this year then next
year, these competitors will
share their experiences with
other youths in our county to
encourage them to try a still or
livestock project. Fifteen participants came back from Columbus with 19 awards from
their respective competitions.
This is an outstanding accomplishment and a testament to
the strength of the 4-H youths

here in Paulding County. 4-H
grows our future leaders, businesses and activities here in
the county.
You have been my friend,
replied Charlotte. That in itself is a tremendous thing...
after all, whats a life anyway?
Were born, we live a little
while, we die...By helping
you, perhaps I was trying to
lift up my life a trifle. Heaven
knows anyones life can stand
a little of that.
4-H is a positive influence
in the children in Paulding
County. All this helps these
students create better lives
through the life lesson of win

Paulding County a stronger
community.

Lady Archers grab early season showdown
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
ANTWERP The anticipated early season showdown did
not disappoint as the Paulding
Lady Panthers made the short
trip to Antwerp to battle the
Lady Archers on the volleyball court.
The first match of the season for both teams, the maroon-and-white used its height
to secure the first set before
the Lady Archers settled down
to sweep three in a row for the
win.
Games score were 22-25
followed by three competitive
matches in the win column for
Antwerp, 27-25, 28-26, 25-18.
Played before a large crowd,
Paulding took a 10-5 lead on
the first set, forcing an Archer
timeout. Antwerp cut into the
lead and finally knotted the
score at 12-12 and 15-15. The
Panthers held on to the lead
by no more than three points
throughout the close battle.
With the score tied at 22-22
the Panthers scored the final
three points to take the opening win.
I think we came out in the
first set and maybe we were
a little intimidated by their
height. They have those three
Paulding falls in volleyball opener
6-footers coming at you and

it was little overwhelming at
first. Give Paulding credit,
they came out on fire in the
first set, said Archer head
coach Amy Hammer.
With the momentum in the
Panthers corner, the Archers
came out strong in game two
with a 12-3 margin. The ninepoint lead continued with the
Archers on top 22-13, but
down the stretch the Lady
Panthers took control and
made things interesting.
After closing the gap at 2216, veteran head coach for the
Archers, Amy Hammer called
time out. Trailing by six,
Paulding continued to whittle
at the Archer lead and while
the Archer margin slipped to
24-22 Hammer was forced to
call another timeout.
Paulding eventually knotted
the score 24 apiece and again
at 25-25 before the Archers
got the upper hand and scored
the final two points on a kill
from Kiana Recker and Rachel Williamson for the 27-25
Archer win.
When we became the
aggressor things started to
change for us. We have nine
kids back from last year and
they know how to get it done.
We were down early but we
knew what we had to do to get
back in this thing, said Hammer.
In the third set, both teams
battled to a 7-7 tie before the
Lady Panthers spurted to a
small lead that eventually
widened to as many as four,
21-17. With the Archers playing from behind, most of the
set, the blue-and-white took
its first lead since the early
going when they went on top
24-23. Both teams continued
Antwerp def. Paulding 22-25, their solid play at the net with
neither giving an inch. Scor27-25, 28-26, 25-18

score was even at 25-25 and

I dont know what happened in the fourth set. I dont
know if we ran out of gas,
said the disappointed Paulding
coach, Joshua Early.
I thought in the first three
sets we were the better team.
We didnt get many breaks
and few calls went in our favor. But I thought we played a
heck of a game the first three
sets, said Pauldings first year
head coach.
For the Panthers, senior
Kristen Schilt led her teams
effort in assists while Jaycie
Varner, another senior collected 18 digs and 10 kills. At the
libero position, Taylor March
totaled 18 digs and team mate
Cassidy Posey added nine
kills. Audrey Manz collected
five aces to lead the Panthers
in that category.
I was disappointed in the
way we came out in the fourth
set but overall I was pleased
with our effort. To come in
here and play the way we did,
we have nothing to hang our
heads about, said Early.
Antwerps team effort was
solid from top to bottom. Peyton Short delivered 36 assists,

four digs while adding 14-14
serving. Rachel Williamson
was strong throughout the
match with 19 kills, two aces
and two blocks. Kiana Recker gave her team a positive
lift with her play in the back
row solid play on the back row
with 19 digs and six kills.
It was a total team effort. I
was pleased with the way Beth
Hawley came off the bench
and contributed. I could go
down the roster and everyone
who played made a positive
contribution, said Hammer.
Other Lady Archers adding
to the team win: Audrie Longardner (six digs, two assists);
Sydney Sheedy (eight kills,
four digs); Hawley (five digs,
12-12 serving); Avery Braaten (13 digs, two aces); Emily
Derck (seven digs, four kills,
two blocks).
The Panthers will be in action on Thursday as they hit

Wert.

Outdoor Expo this weekend at the MAC in Antwerp

ANTWERP The McLaughlin Athletic Center,
known more affectionately as
The MAC, will be transformed into an Outdoor Expo
this weekend, Aug. 29-30. Located at the old Antwerp school
on Archer Drive, outdoor enthusiasts who have a liking for
fishing and/or hunting will feel
right at home.
Coordinator for the first ever
expo in Antwerp is Tanner
Copsey, a leisure type fisherman who admits he does it for
fun, but hunting is a different
story.
I like to bow hunt for deer,
he said. This week-end will be
a great time to experience many
different aspects of the outdoors
and those who attend I think
will enjoy what they see and
hear.
The expo will be this Saturday from 9 a.m.-6 p.m. and on

Sunday from noon-5 p.m.
Cost will be just $5 per person with those 15 years old and
younger accompanied by a parent being admitted free. Keep in
mind, the only form of payment
will be cash. No credit cards
will be accepted.
Its going to be a packed
weekend with seminars, displays, opportunity to see and
even purchase some of the finest hunting and fishing equipment available today, commented Copsey.
A couple of guest speakers
will be attending the expo. Tony
LaPratt and Andrew Buss will
be sharing from their experiences and offering valuable information for those in attendance.
LaPratt, a Michigan native,
will conduct his seminar on

Saturday at 11 a.m. and again at
3 p.m. with another session on
Sunday at 2 p.m. LaPratt will
share with hunters about land
management and insight into
creating a wildlife habitat that
retains a deer population on
your own property.
The fishing seminars led by
Buss will be Sunday only at
12:45 p.m. and again at 3:15.
Buss, who is a former school
teacher and now a bass fisherman, will share his expertise
concerning bass fishing tactics.
Along with the seminars
will be a game mount contest.
Individuals are encouraged to
bring their deer heads and turkey mounts for a chance to win
prizes.
This is going to a lot of fun
for those who participate. We
are asking people to bring their

deer heads or turkey mounts
for display. Each contestant
will receive a raffle ticket (limit three). On Sunday, the lucky
ticket will be drawn and the
winner will receive half of the
proceeds, said Copsey.
For those who enter, the cost
is $10 per mount with a maximum of three. The $10 fee
will also allow free admission
to the expo both days. Scoring
for the mount displays will be
judges from Pope and Young,
Buckeye Big Buck Club and
Boone and Crockett.
There will be nearly 20 exhibitors who will cater their
products and services both
days. Those who will be in
attendance will include: Auglaize Canoe & Kayak, Jackies
Deer Lures, Phil Fredricks
Wood Carvings, Pleasant

Creek Pheasant Farm, Rod

AP biology program
thriving at Wayne Trace
HAVILAND Students are often given the opportunity to take challenging courses while attending high school. One option for students is to take
Advanced Placement (AP) courses. These college
level classes are often more rigorous and time consuming versus the traditional classes offered in high
school.
Furthermore, the classes culminate in an endof-the-year national exam with the opportunity for
students to receive college credit if they score well
enough. But regardless of how well students score
on the national exam, students enrolled in AP courses
often find themselves more ready for the challenging
college course load after leaving high school.
It was only three years ago that the AP biology
program at Wayne Trace was started with the help of
a grant through the Ohio Department of Education
to bring more AP courses to smaller, rural schools.
Money from the grant was used to purchase much of
the lab equipment, books and other supplies needed
to spearhead the program.
Mrs. Heather Hatcher has taught this class from
its inception. Teaching this class has been just as

rewarding for myself as for the students. I love the
challenge. I love the rigor. I love being able to take
these students to a higher level of learning.
For the past three years, the students of Wayne
Trace have performed better than the national average on the AP biology exam. While the numbers
vary each year, typically around 60 percent of the
students nationwide attain passing scores of 3, 4
or 5. Over the past three years since its inception,
the passage rate for students at Wayne Trace has
been around 78 percent.
Roughly 200,000 students take the test nationwide each year.
For a program still in its infancy, Mrs. Hatcher is
thrilled with the results.
The students work hard both in and out of the
classroom and I am thrilled when they can walk
away with college credit under their belt. I
hope to expand this program at Wayne Trace
with more opportunities for students in the future in the AP program.
Grant awarded to WBESC
PAULDING The Western

Buckeye Educational Service
Center (WBESC) Governing
Board held its regular monthly
board meeting on Aug. 19 at
the Paulding WBESC office.
Superintendent Brian Gerber informed the board that
Western Buckeye Educational
Service Center in partnership
with Paulding Exempted Village Schools, Antwerp Local
Schools, and Lincolnview
Local Schools are pleased to
announce they were awarded
two three-year 21st Century
Community Learning Center
grants from the Ohio Department of Education. Each grant
is fully funded for $200,000
each year for three years, for
a grand total of $1.2 million
between the four sites over the
next three years. Paulding Elementary, Oakwood Elementary, Antwerp Elementary, and
Lincolnview Elementary are

the 21st Century after school
sites. Each program will focus
on increasing math and reading achievement, enhancing
positive youth development
and encouraging parent and
family engagement.
WBESC, in partnership with
Wayne Trace Local Schools,
is pleased to announce it was
awarded a continuation grant
for year four of the 21st Century Community Learning
Center. A total of $112,500
will be received this year. Total amount over the five-year
grant cycle is $545,625.
During the first three years,
the ESC was fully funded at
$150,000 each year. There
is a 25 percent reduction the
fourth year and an additional 25 percent reduction the
fifth year. The local program
will continue to focus on in-
creasing math and reading

achievement, enhancing positive youth development and
encouraging parent and family
engagement.
Many people were involved
in writing and creating the
grant. The applications were
spearheaded by the 21st Century program coordinator Ashley Shepherd and technology
coordinator Matt Krites.
New applications submitted totaled 241 and the Ohio
Department of Education was
able to award 75 new applications based on available funding.
Gerber conducted a study
session with the board that
included a two-year financial
forecast based on the FY16
and FY17 executive biennial
budget and the negative impact the governors budget has
on ESCs.
SCARE AWAY HUNGER United Way of Paulding County is kicking

Antwerp board hears

praise as year begins
By JOE SHOUSE
Progress Staff Writer
ANTWERP In a brief session, the Antwerp
Local School board met last Thursday evening and
heard reports from the districts new superintendent
Dr. Martin Miller and the two principals, Mike
Bute and Tim Manz.
The board accepted the 21st Century after-school
program grant funds while naming former superintendent Pat Ross its grant site coordinator. The
board also offered one-year teaching contracts to
two teachers.
Attending his first school board meeting as the
districts superintendent, Miller expressed his high
praise to his staff for their role in making the first
day of school a success.
It was a smooth transition and I have a staff
of teachers and administrators who made it go
smooth. They are a great group and its for that reason we are off to such a smooth start, said Miller.
Concerning the high school/junior high school,
principal Mike Bute expressed his thanks for all
those who made it a successful first couple of days.
I was so impressed with our open house. The
attendance was excellent. We had a great turn out
and we are off to a great start, commented Bute.
Tim Manz, principal of the elementary school,
shared with the board a positive report about open
house and the start of a new year.
Our attendance is up and our classes are full.
We have at least 20 more students this year over
last year at this time and overall I think the district
will have at least 40 new students, said Manz.
Manz went on to explain that his elementary
classes will benefit from the new 21st Century
grant recently received. Manz shared that the three
year grant will total roughly $77,000 and will be
used to concentrate on after-school tutoring along
with mentoring students in kindergarten through
fourth grade.
Also on the agenda for the fifth grade students is
the return of the D.A.R.E. program. Currently the
program is in the planning stages but should be a
part of the fifth grade classes later in the year.
Board president Dennis Recker reported there
are 30 Antwerp students enrolled at Vantage which
is a slight increase over last years total.
Several new teachers were introduced to the
board by Miller. New staff members include Jason
Hale, high school and middle school intervention;
Zachary Lee, kindergarten teacher; Nick Peckinpah, fourth and fifth grade language arts teacher;
Marie Plassman, fourth and fifth grade intervention; Alyssa Saylor, middle school language arts,
science and social studies teacher; and Kirsten
Wieland, Title I.
Financially, the total receipts for July totaled
$856,446.04 while expenses came in for the month
at $875,332.34. Interest earned on the school investments was $1,541.72.
Consent items approved:
One-year teaching contracts for the 2015-16
school year for Kirsten Wieland, part-time Title I
teacher and Zachary Lee, kindergarten teacher.
Board member Robert Herber as delegate and
Anita Bok alternate to the annual business meeting
during the Capital conference in November.
The adoption of section 125 fringe benefits
plan for employees of the district effective Oct. 1,
2015 and enter into a contract with American Fidelity for section 125 administrative service.
The adoption of resolution approving all Antwerp Local Schools bus stops and grant superintendent Miller authority to change bus stops if
needed for the school year.
The acceptance of the 21st Century after-school program grant written by Western Buckeye ESC and create a fund account for the revenue
and expenditures of the grant.
The appointment of Patricia Ross as 21st Century grant site coordinator for the upcoming school
year.
Approved supplemental contracts for the
2015-16 school year to Betty Smazenko and Crystal Brooks as co-elementary student council advisors.
The next board meeting is scheduled for Sept.

Phlox rocks the garden
The days are getting shorter

and Im trying to commit the
feel of them to memory for
later recall. When the snow is
flying and no longer a novelty,
Ill long for this time, when
the skies are a deep blue, the
nights have a tinge of crispness to them, the cicadas
drone, and spiders are wafting
through the air.
Okay, so maybe I wont be
missing the spiders. And in
spite of the wonderfulness of
fall, theres a bit of sadness
to it all too. Lingering at the
edges is the knowledge of what
is to come and knowing that all
the mental pushing it out of the
way wont stop it from coming.
Still, its better to just live in
the moment and relish all that
is fine and good. As the sun
warms my back and I go on
walkabout through the gardens,
I appreciate the late summer
blooms, as do the butterflies,
bees, and numerous other pollinators.
The tall garden phlox (Phlox
paniculata) is still blooming,
imparting color all around, and
infusing the air around it with a
gentle, sweet fragrance if you
lean in close enough to smell it.
Theyre exceptional this year,
which evidently has served up
just the right combination of
weather to avoid the powdery
mildew that can sometimes
plague them.
I favor the white ones and the
purple/blue varieties, though
Ive got several pinks peppered

growing in the same locations

such as at woods edges and
on creek banks. A closer look
at the flowers will show differences, however, with Dames
Rocket having four petals and
phlox having five. Wild phlox
blooms appear first, beginning
in April, with Dames Rocket
following, beginning in May.
Both are very fragrant.
Garden phlox (Phlox maculata and P. paniculata) are
the taller types most often
found available for purchase
in garden centers. P. maculata
blooms early in July, while P.
paniculata comes along to give
color in mid-July through August.
There are at least eight types
of phlox found growing naturally in the state of Ohio. Just
today, as I was walking along
the road, I saw a short one in
bloom at just four inches in
height. I havent been able
to determine which phlox it
was, but it smelled like cotton
candy. Youve got to love that.

throughout the garden as well.

Peppermint Twist is a fun
bi-colored pink and white cultivar that makes me smile in July
and the variegated foliage of
Shockwave isnt something
you see everyday.
You can have some sort of
phlox all summer long, as there
are other types that bloom at
various times of the season.
First to bloom is the groundcover creeping phlox (Phlox
subulata), one that most local
gardeners are familiar with.
It comes in white, lavender,
magenta, or pink and is often
used at the base of trees or as
a spiller at the front of a raised
planter.
Next to bloom is the native
wild phlox (Phlox divaricata),
which is often confused with
Dames Rocket (Hesperis ma- has been serving county
tronalis) because they do look readers and businesses for
similar and can often be found more than a century!
