ANTWERP – The Antwerp Athletic
Booster Club hosted the third annual
“Antwerp Has Talent Show” (formerly known
as “Antwerp Dancing with the Stars”) on
Sunday, Jan. 16.
Talent included dancing, singing, and instru-
mental music with all proceeds being directed
to the Antwerp All-Weather Track Campaign.
The audience members served as judges by
voting with cash donations for their favorite
couples.
When the dust settled and the money count-
ed, Steve and Susie Arnold took first place.
They had danced their way to the highest earn-
ings and got to take home the coveted crystal
ball trophy.
Second place in the competition went to
Antwerp High School junior Ty Lee, who sang
two solos. The third place finishers were the
dancing group of Susie Arnold, Samantha
Provines, Taylor Provines, Lydia Walters and
Lauren Walters.
This year’s event brought in approximately
$1,900, which will be used to help pay off the
loan for the all-weather track project. In the
three-year run of the show, the athletic boost-
ers have raised close to $11,400.
The booster club appreciates the many peo-
ple who came to see an afternoon of dancing
and music and for their generous donations.
A huge thanks also goes to the many be-
hind-the-scenes volunteers and to the nine
groups who put countless hours of practice
into their routines preparing for the event.

On Jan. 16, the John
Paulding Historical Society
held its yearly organization-
al meeting.
It was announced that the
Blue Creek Wind Farm,
which is beginning to be
constructed in southwestern
Paulding County by
Iberdrola Renewables LLC,
has donated $5,000 to the
organization. The donation
will provide funding to find,
identify and put up perma-
nent markers for the “ghost
towns” located in Benton,
Blue Creek and western
Latty Township. (See relat-ed story)
Historical society presi-
dent Les Weidenhamer
asked for volunteers from
each township who would
form a committee to work
on the “ghost town” project.
Following the announce-
ment, the society conducted
its winter planning and elec-
tion of officers meeting. The
officers that were elected
for another term were presi-
dent Les Weidenhamer, sec-
retary Mary Price and treas-
urer Diane Olwin.
Weidenhamer announced
that this was his 21st year
with the historical society
and his 19th as president.
tives, Iberdrola Renewables is
thrilled to be supporting local
organizations like the Van
Wert Peony Pageant,
Paulding baseball, Van Wert
911 operations, Van Wert
Junior Achievement and the
Van Wert County Junior Fair
Board.
Construction for Blue
Creek Wind Power Project,
which spans townships in
both Van Wert and Paulding
Blue Creek Wind Farm,
which is under construction
by Iberdrola Renewables
LLC, has donated $5,000 to
the John Paulding Historical
Society for a “ghost town”
project.
Society president Les
Weidenhamer said the funds
will be used to identify as
many ghost towns as possible
with permanent signage. The
target area is between Ohio
114 and the Paulding-Van
Wert County Line, and from
the state line to east of U.S.
127. Portions of Benton, Blue
Creek and Latty townships
are included in the project.
Weidenhamer is looking
for at least three volunteers
for a committee. “We will
need help designing the signs
and the wording, and getting
easements on the properties,”
he said. “We want to start as
soon as possible to begin in-
stallation in the spring.”
Residents in Latty, Benton
and Blue Creek townships
who are interested in the proj-
ect can call Weidenhamer at
419-393-4366.
Dan Litchfield, Iberdrola
business developer, said that
windfarm contractors may be
able to help install the signs.
Litchfield added that the
donation is part of Iberdrola’s
community outreach efforts,
and also part of the permitting
process. Historical mitigation
is required because the new
wind turbines will change the
view in the southwestern part
of the county.
In addition to the donation
made in Paulding County, the
Van Wert County Historical
Society received a donation
of $10,000 from Iberdrola.
The money is being used in
part to replace the shake shin-
gles on the historic Clark
Mansion, which is used as a
museum for the entire com-
munity to enjoy.
In an exciting partnership,
the Van Wert County
Foundation has established
the Iberdrola Renewables
Scholarship Fund. With a do-
nation of $30,000 from
Iberdrola Renewables, the
scholarships are designed to
support local students who
choose to study renewable
energy and attend a school
within the university system
of Ohio. Residents of every
township where Iberdrola
Renewables is currently
building (Blue Creek) or de-
veloping (Dog Creek and
Prairie Creek) are eligible.
Students interested in the
Iberdrola Renewables
Scholarship Fund should con-
tact the Van Wert County
Foundation for more informa-
tion.

The Amish CookBy: Lovina Eicher
7:30 a.m. It is Sunday
morning and I did not set our
alarm since this is not a
church Sunday for our dis-
trict. We were invited some-
where for church and singing
but it is so cold we decided to
stay home. I was surprised to
see it was that time already
when I awoke. We are just
staying home all day so it
was a relaxing feeling to get
some extra sleep. I made
“Egg Dutch” for breakfast
along with toast, butter,
rhubarb jam, orange, grape,
and apple juice.
8:30 a.m. Breakfast is
ready and everyone is gath-
ered for the morning meal.
The boys could hardly wait
to eat since we are eating
later than usual.
9:15 a.m. Dishes are being
washed and floors are being
swept. My husband Joe and
the boys do the morning
chores. We had a cold -7° this
morning.
Sister Emma and Jacob
gave us a new wireless ther-
mometer and rain gauge. It
has a sensor that Joe mounted
outside. The outside sensor
and the rain gauge need to be
within 100 feet of the indoor
unit. Our old thermometer is
one you put the wire out
through a window. It is on a
north window by our back
porch so it doesn’t get much
wind. This one shows 7 to 8
degrees warmer than the
wireless. I am not sure if it is
because the wireless sensor is
out in the wind. I’ll be inter-
ested to see how the self-
emptying rain gauge will
work.
10 a.m. Verena takes all the
children to the basement and
plays school with them. She
gives them lessons on things
they are practicing in school.
It is a fun way to get them to
study.
11:45 a.m. I mix up some
meatloaf and put it in the
oven. It has warmed up out-
side so the boys go out to
play in the snow.
1:30 p.m. We eat dinner
later than usual since we had
a late breakfast. Our menu is
mashed potatoes, gravy,
meatloaf, corn, cheese, dev-
iled eggs, cake, and peaches.
Elizabeth’s friend Timothy is
also here for dinner.
2:30 p.m. Dishes are
washed and some are work-
ing on the 1,000-piece puzzle
we started yesterday. Others
are playing board games such
as Connect Four and Man-
cala, a marble game, which
were Christmas gifts.
6:30 p.m. The girls and I
heat up leftovers for supper
while Joe and the boys do the
evening chores. The puzzle is
not far from finished. Some
of the younger children are
putting together a 100-piece
puzzle which is easier.
Daughter Lovina, 6, says the
1,000-piece puzzle is just too
hard for her and the pieces
are too small. She will take
the 100 piece puzzles and put
them together over and over.
8:45 It is bedtime for the
children as tomorrow morn-
ing will be here before we
know it. Joe will have a four-
day work week this week so
he is also ready for bed.
On Jan. 6, Joe’s family
gathered at his sister’s annual
Christmas gathering. We had
a carry-in brunch around
10:45 a.m. and everyone
brought snacks for later.
Board games and singing
were done. The children en-
joyed sledding with their
pony pulling the sled.
Joe’s family is a count of
almost 90 now, but not every-
one was present. If my count
is right, the total there was
66. Brunch was served in
their full basement.
Two of Joe’s sisters had
new babies in the past year.
Christine and Jake were
blessed with a daughter,
Rosetta. Henry and Loretta
were blessed with a son,
Jonathan. Both are around 4
months old now.
Here is the recipe for Egg
Dutch. I usually double this
recipe and then make two
pans full, so I use a total of
20 eggs for it.
EGG DUTCH
5 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
Pepper to taste
1 heaping tablespoon flour
1 cup milk
Put eggs, salt, pepper, flour
and milk into a medium
bowl. Beat. Pour into a
greased skillet and cover
with a tight lid. Place over
medium heat. Cut and turn
when half done and finish
baking. Makes 6 servings.

Stunned at dogwarden’s firingDear Editor and people of
Paulding County,
We are stunned.
As we understand it, ac-
cording to the newspaper re-
ports, our dog warden never
had a chance to defend her-
self, was not called in, talked
to, but was sent a letter of ter-
mination.
Therefore, we all worry
about what kind of terrible
thing makes an American
guilty without a trial or op-
portunity for a defense.
In this county, with so
many people giving up their
pets, we would read weekly
the kind and lovely descrip-
tions of unwanted pets that
people probably did not know
how to love, treat kindly, or
take care of properly, includ-
ing basic training.
The dog we were able to
adopt from the shelter might
have been thrown away, were
it not for this wonderful per-
son named Mandy, who got
her to a veterinarian to save
her life. Through her column
she educated the reader end-
lessly. A thankless job, evi-
dently.
“Lady” was found starved
and desperately ill. We were
thrilled to adopt her into our
family. It took months to
undo all of the damage and
neglect she had experienced.
You should see her now,
young-looking again, sweet-
tempered, highly intelligent,
loving her soft toy animal and
frolicking ecstatically in the
snow.
Are we not a forgiving na-
tion? Please, Powers That Be,
how could this happen?
With all respect intended,
John & Nancy Morse
Payne
Dog wardendid a good jobDear Editor,
I read in the DefianceCrescent that our gal dog
warden was fired and applica-
tions were being accepted.
When the Paulding Progresscame out, I see the gal re-
ceived her firing by letter in
the mail. What a cowardly act
for three grown men. Why
was she not called in and re-
ceive the first reprimand
orally, letter signed that she
had been talked to, perhaps,
giving her a chance to defend
whatever reasons she was ac-
cused of?
I do not know Mandy
[Lichty], but several people
feel she has done a good job.
She has posted pictures of
dogs that can and have been
adopted or reclaimed by own-
ers. This has been great keep-
ing man’s best friend from
being euthanized. Previous
wardens have shot dogs in
front of children at play and
one time sold them to test lab-
oratories.
I hope this firing will let us
taxpayers know what the rea-
son was – as a public official
on payroll we do have the
right to know.
It seems like the commis-
sioners should spend more
time in the office trying to
better our county.
I also hope that a friend of
the commissioners needed a
job – also not a man vs. gal
thing!

In My OpinionFull strength orwatered down
I remember my mother making vegetable beef soup,
which was a real treat because we did not have much meat.
Mom would cook the “boiling beef” or “ox tail” until mid
afternoon and then add the
home-canned vegetables
and potatoes so it would all
be ready about 6 o’clock
for supper. About half an
hour before supper, my sis-
ters and I would set the
table and Mom would tell
my sister to add some
water to the soup until the kettle was nearly full and turn the
heat to high. My sister would get one of the jars that the
canned vegetables had been in, add several jars of water to
the soup, and turn the heat to high.
I was never allowed, but always wanted to get a bowl of
soup out before my sister added the water. I do not care for
watery soup and to this day, I prefer thick heavy soup. When
I was a young boy, I did not understand why Mom had my
sister add water to the soup. However, as I grew older, I re-
alized that part of the art of feeding a large family was to
add water to the soup so that there was enough for supper
and maybe some left for lunch the next day. As I think about
the watered-down soup, I think that it was healthier for me
than the thick stuff I like so well.
Are other things being watered down? This year at our
family Christmas brunch, I was handed a bottle of orange
juice and was told that this juice had half the calories and
half the sugar, so it is much better for you. OK, there was
also a less obvious phrase along the edge of the label, “Con-
tains 50% juice.” I don’t imagine that the half-calorie, half-
sugar juice was half price. Yes, I am familiar with how that
works because I do the same thing by adding tap water to
my orange juice each morning. My mother taught me how
to “water things down” when I was just a child.
There were some things Mom would not “water down”
like “a lie was a lie and half truths, partial truths or white
lies did not exist”; “if you are one minute late you are late”;
black is black and white is white, gray only exists in dingy
diapers.” Are you confused? I hope not because in my opin-
ion, our dealings with one another and with our God need to
be full strength rather than being “watered down” or
changed to fit a specific situation or need! In my opinion,
we need to diligently sort the right and wrong and the black
and white from the churning mass of gray that we have been
embracing in recent years.
I hope to see you in church on Sunday! Come and visit
us; we may have something in common. We will save a seat
for you.

Nancy Whitaker/Paulding County ProgressWINTER WONDERLAND – Parts of Paulding County were a winter wonderland on a recent morning as the trees, plants and
grass were all covered with ice which made them sparkle like diamonds. The countryside along Ohio 637 was especially beautifuland appeared to be painted with God’s paintbrush.
More winter holidaysto celebrate
While it’s easy to associate winter holidays with Christmas,
Chanukah and New Year’s, winter is actually host to numerous
holidays across the globe. The aforementioned holidays might
get the bulk of the publicity, but these holidays are wintertime
traditions far and wide.
• Chinese New Year: The most important of the traditional
Chinese holidays, Chinese New Year is determined by the lu-
nisolar Chinese calendar. In the Gregorian calendar, Chinese
New Year falls on different dates each year, but always be-
tween Jan. 21 and Feb. 20. In 2011, the Chinese New Year will
be celebrated on Feb. 3.
• Pancha Ganapati: This five-day Hindu festival celebrates
the Lord Ganesha, Patron of Arts and Guardian of Culture.
During each of the five days of Pancha Ganapati, which is cel-
ebrated from Dec. 21-25, a different spiritual discipline is fo-
cused on by the entire family.
• Tu Bishvat: A minor Jewish holiday, Tu Bishvat usually
occurs in late January or early February and celebrates the
“New Year of the Trees.” Customs during Tu Bishvat include
planting trees and eating dried fruits and nuts, in particular figs,
dates, raisins, carob, and almonds. The flowering of the almond
tree coincides with Tu Bishvat throughout Israel, where the al-
mond tree grows wild.
• Kwanzaa: Kwanzaa is a week-long celebration of African
culture and heritage that begins the day after Christmas and
continues to New Year’s Day. Kwanzaa was first celebrated
from Dec. 26, 1966 to Jan. 1, 1967 and was initially an effort
by professor Ron Karenga to create a specifically African-
American holiday.
• Martin Luther King Jr. Day: Winter is not only a time to
honor past traditions but also those who left a positive mark
on the world. The third Monday of every January, for example,
is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a day honoring the legacy of the
famed civil rights leader who was tragically assassinated on
April 4, 1968. The day is held in January because King was
born on Jan. 15.
• Candlemas: Observed by Anglicans, Eastern Catholics,
Lutherans, and Roman Catholics, among others, Candlemas
celebrates the presentation of Jesus at the temple. In the Eastern
Orthodox Church, Candlemas is considered one of the twelve
Great Feasts. The date can vary depending on the celebrants
but is generally celebrated between the last week of January
and the first few days of February.
• St. Brigid’s Day: Though it’s meant to celebrate the first
day of spring, St. Brigid’s Day, formerly known as Imbolc, ac-
tually occurs during the throes of winter. A Gaelic tradition,
St. Brigid’s Day has different meanings for different people
(and some Christians actually refer to the day as Candlemas).
However, for many it remains a festival of the hearth and home
and a celebration of the days growing longer, meaning spring
is on the horizon.

CommunityThe Spice Rack
By: Dortha Schaefer
Anniversaries
Birthdays
Friends in North Dakota
have an exciting story to
tell. The temperature at the
time of the story had been
hovering around -35° for a
time and sportsmen had
been enjoying the ice fish-
ing. In their area, there are
many lakes and ice fishing
is a favored sport.
The sportsmen move their
fish houses far out on the
frozen surfaces and have a
grand time catching those
chilly creatures while keep-
ing warm and snug in their
little huts. But things went
wrong as things are apt do.
A 60 mph wind blew up
suddenly.
A mighty gale began
blowing the snug little
shacks rapidly across the ice
of the lake. One fisherman
leaped from the door in
fright, the wind grabbed him
and threw him across the ice
for half a mile before he
managed to stop. The men
who remained in the shack
rode the brisk ride to a
thrilling stop when the
house crashed against the
shore. That is the story I was
told.
• • •
Hometown boy makes
good – buns that is. Payne
native Frank French, who
died suddenly this winter,
was a professional baker
and food technologist in
Kansas City during some
years of his life. The things
he baked were a far cry
from those of his ancestors
– he was a fifth generation
baker. He was in charge of
the buns that McDonald’s
wrapped around the ham-
burgers they have been sell-
ing for many years.
McDonald’s foods are uni-
form all over the world, and
that goes for Moscow, Rus-
sia, too.
Efforts have been made to
use products made in the
area where the food is to be
sold. This is a quality con-
trol project that Frank was
very interested in during his
years with the worldwide
company. Part of his work
was troubleshooting when
problems arose. Frank’s
wife was Barbara Davis,
also a Paulding County na-
tive.

Winter or summer, auc-
tions are big in Paulding
County, with much of the
real estate being sold in this
manner. Did you know this
method of selling was
started by the Babylonians
in the year, sort of, 340 BC?
This is a matter of record,
sadly. What they sold in
those early years were phys-
ically fit young women.
• • •
What is an All-American
food, just about as popular
as hamburgers, with no for-
eign ingredients, one that is
totally native? Chili, a dish
that Americans have been
eating for well over 100
years.
Not exactly a stew, not
exactly a soup, chili is a
simple, robust food tradi-
tionally served with crack-
ers, chopped onion and a hot
condiment on the side. I
have heard of people who
serve it with whipped
cream, but that is only a
rumor.
Real chili is made with
beef, fiery hot chilipiquins
sometimes, garlic, cumin,
oregano and beans, if you
like it that way. Down at the
Big Bend in Texas, the na-
tives hold chili cook-offs at-
tended by lovers of the food
from all over and the best,
hottest chili-makers are
awarded big money for their
product.
Eating chili is an adven-
ture due to the many ingre-
dients used by cooks. It is
always a good idea to take
the First Bite of chili with
great caution as much of the
food is too hot to swallow.
• • •
And speaking of fishermen
as we were earlier in the
Rack, there are men who
love to fish in Lake Erie as
much as the North Dakota
men like to fish in frozen
lakes. Keith had been pursu-
ing his hobby of fishing for
walleyes where ice makes no
trouble. He says, “One bad
day of fishing is much better
than a good day working.”
• • •
Are you going fishing,
going to an auction, or mak-
ing a big pot of chili? Tell us,
we’ll tell everybody.

Delta Kappa Gamma Society meetsThe December meeting of the Beta Eta Chapter of the Delta
Kappa Gamma Society was held Dec. 11 at The Essen House
in Antwerp. Twenty-six members enjoyed a breakfast buffet
and were surrounded by colorful snowman and candy cane
table decorations.
The program featured the Antwerp Showstoppers from
Antwerp High School, under the direction of Mary Smith.
Their joyful songs and wonderful dance routines were enjoyed
and appreciated by the members in attendance.
The business meeting followed. The new chapter Web site
was discussed, and members were encouraged to offer ideas
and suggestions.
Attending from Paulding County were Joan Buchman, Mar-
cia Pressler, Deb Hornyak, Marcia Wiebe, Jane Sharp, Donna
Black, Connie Zachrich, Nancy Lightner, Kris Dobbelaere and
Joyce Birkhold.
The next regular meeting will be a carry-in lunch at 11 a.m.

pure emotion beyond under-
standing that brought tears to
the eyes and ecstasy to the
heart. The birth of all three chil-
dren had been tearfully touch-
ing to this softhearted dad and
their mother who was over-
whelmed with love for them.
Within minutes, we were in-
vited to step back to the
birthing room, this time to be-
hold and hold that little five-
pound, 10-ounce bundle of
family heritage.
At that exact moment, I real-
ized what my parents meant
when they made the “no way
to describe” comment. But the
realization that gripped me the
most was the blood and genes
of all family members wrapped
up in that little body, the her-
itage of parents, grandparents
and other family members.
The words of the Psalmist in
Psalm 136, “fearfully and won-
derfully made,” spoke softly in
my heart; “knit together inside
the mother’s womb” meant
more than ever and “all of our
days numbered,” this being the
first day of Kirston’s number-
ing, Jan. 14, 2011, a brand new
date for the family tree, family
Bible and local genealogy
records.
Most of all, as I realized the
beauty of having merged with
the second generation from my
birth, I said to myself, “There’s
no way to describe what this
seems like,” as a tear caught the
corner of my eye.
daughter; a deepening bond
formed between her parents
and Joyce and me. Nervously,
I waited for my cell phone to
ring with news. Occasionally
we would be given an update.
At one point, there were some
tense moments, which brought
immediate reaction of prayer
to nervous hearts.
At 1:45, Jason burst through
the doors with a wide smile
and a “thumbs up.” All was
well and Kirston had arrived.
At that exact moment I real-
ized that those whom had told
me that it was as exciting as
the birth of our own children
were correct. I thought back to
the birth of Julie on a May af-
ternoon in Dayton, Sandi, on a
wintry day in Peoria, and
Jason, on an early summer
morning in Sturgis, Mich.

First grandchild: There’sno way to describe this
It’s been over 30 years since
I heard my parents make that
statement at the birth of our
children, Julie, Sandi and
Jason.
I knew that they were telling
the truth, but it still didn’t re-
ally sink into – until 1:35 p.m.
last Friday afternoon when our
first grandchild, Kirston Brynn
Langham, was born to Jason
and his wife, Cindi.
I had a hint of the emotion
that could occur earlier in the
day when Joyce and I walked
into the birthing room at a Fort
Wayne hospital where the
“kids” were awaiting the birth
of their baby girl.
Arrangements had been
made so that grandparents
could join their children until a
more critical time in the
birthing process. I walked into
the room and embraced our
son. When I walked over to
Cindi’s bedside, she reached
for my hand. I took her hand,
told her what a beautiful
mother she was and felt hot
tears running down my cheeks.
It was just the beginning of the
phrase, “No way to describe
this.”
At the proper time, we were
asked to leave the room and
wait in a lobby, where minutes
seemed like hours and anxiety
built in my heart as it did in the
days when our children were
born.
The kids had told us the

Using de-icers safelyBy Jim Lopshire
OSU Extension educator
The presence of ice and
snow should remind us of our
options to keep important
areas clean and safe from icy
conditions.
Chemical de-icers will
help remove ice, but can also
cause damage to the sur-
rounding environment. Man-
ual snow-removal followed
by the application of an abra-
sive such as damp sand to
create traction can keep side-
walks safe without the prob-
lems associated with
de-icers. Using de-icers
wisely, or replacing them
with manual removal and
abrasives, can minimize the
potential for damage while
keeping steps and sidewalks
safe.
Most de-icing chemicals
are technically “salts” that
work by lowering the freez-
ing point of water below
32°F. Salts can damage
plants by direct contact with
snowmelt containing de-icers
or in salt spray from road-
ways. Repeated shoveling or
blowing snow that contains
de-icers onto nearby land-
scape plants will increase the
likelihood of contact injury.
Second, by repeated yearly
applications the resulting
build-up in adjacent soil may
damage plant roots so they
are unable to take up water.
The following five major
ingredients offered in differ-
ent brands of chemical de-
icers each bring some
advantages and disadvan-
tages:
• Calcium chloride – the
traditional ice-melting prod-
uct that continues melting ice
in temperatures down to
about -25°F. It rarely harms
plants unless used in excess,
but it can create a slippery,
slimy surface on concrete
and other hard surfaces.
• Rock salt – the original
ice melter and the least ex-
pensive available now. Be-
cause it’s sodium chloride,
it’s effective down to about
12°F. It can, however, dam-
age not only concrete and
plants but also soils and met-
als.
• Potassium chloride – an-
other chloride formulation
that can damage plant roots.
Plus, it can cause serious
plant injury when washed or
splashed on foliage.
• Urea (carbonyl diamide)
– a fertilizer sometimes used
to melt ice. It’s only about
one-tenth as corrosive as
sodium chloride, but it still
can contaminate ground and
surface water with nitrates.
Urea is only effective to
about 21°F.
• Calcium magnesium ac-
etate (CMA) – a newer prod-
uct made from dolomitic
limestone and acetic acid, the
principal compound in vine-
gar. It does not form a brine
as the salts do, but rather
helps prevent snow particles
from sticking to each other or
the road surface. It has little
effect on plant growth or
concrete surfaces; however,
its performance decreases
below 20°F.
Make sure areas receiving
snow and de-icer have good
drainage so a thorough wa-
tering in the spring can help
flush the excess salts. Plant
tolerance increases if the soil
is rich in organic matter.
Incorporating gypsum into
the soil may also help offset
some of the negative effects
of de-icing salts. Incorporate
10 to 20 pounds of gypsum
per hundred square feet prior
to planting in salt exposure
areas.
WHY SAY CHEESE?What is this? It is some-
thing that is done at birth,
birthday parties, christenings,
baptisms, and graduations.
They do it at school, church,
or outdoors. It can be done on
a horse, on a chair, lying
down, or in a swing.
Some people like doing it
dressed up, some like doing
it dressed down. Some like to
smile, while others prefer to
hide. A lot of us like it, but
there is a lot of us who don’t
like it. Criminals get this
done as well as judges,
lawyers and policemen.
Now as for me, I like it, but
I’d rather do it to someone
else. To have it really be a
great experience, sometimes
it is better to just sneak up on
your victim and do it.
Now, you could get into
trouble if you do it without
the recipient’s permission. I
used to do this at least once a
week and whenever people
would see me coming, I
swear they would run to
avoid me.
Whenever you do this,
make sure that you have
good light and there is noth-
ing above their head to de-
tract you.
I have done this quite a few
times in my life and still like
doing it today. I love to do it
to my dogs, scenery, objects
and people. Sometimes this
is something we can be proud
of and other times we may
just want to forget about
them.
I remember the first time I
did it. I had received the item
to do it with for Christmas. It
looked quite a bit different
than what I have today.
Then it was big, black and
had a big attachment. I was
very proud of it and if I still
had it today, it would be
worth some money.
You may be wondering,
“What is she talking about?”
It probably isn’t what you
thought it was. It is, of all
things, taking a picture or
getting your picture taken.
They say that pictures are
worth a thousand words.
Now, it is fun to look back at
some of the old pictures of
my family and relish those
memories.
I remember when my
grandma had photo albums. In
one big old book, she had pic-
tures of her ancestors, family
and friends. In another album,
she saved and glued all the
greeting cards she had ever re-
ceived. I still don’t know why
she kept those cards.
I am sure we all remember
the Polaroid camera. Wasn’t it
amazing to see the picture
come out and you could see it
right away? I still have one, but
I don’t know if they still make
film for it or not.
Through the years, I have
seen cameras evolve into the
digital age. If you would have
told me 25 years ago, that
some day we’d be taking pic-
tures with our telephones, I
wouldn’t have believed it. In
fact, it is so easy to get a pic-
ture of someone, that you can
snap it from a distance and
they don’t even know you took
it.
The ones who can be the
victims in getting their pictures
taken are the movie stars and
prestigious people in today’s
world. I do like to look at some
of the gossip papers (Globe,
Enquirer) and they are full of
unsightly pictures of unsus-
pecting stars.
There are pictures of stars’
hairy legs, feet, hips, thighs,
and of them eating or spilling
something. I know I would
hate to have someone publish
a picture of me like that.
Here in our files at the
Progress, we have photos of
each other that we wouldn’t
want anyone to see. I know
there is one of me floating
around here of me dumpster
diving that I sure wouldn’t
want anyone to see. But, that’s
a whole different story.
A couple of good quotes
about pictures are: “We
women don’t care too much
about getting our pictures on
money as long as we can get
our hands on it” (true)
Of all of our inventions for
mass communication, pictures
still speak the most universally
understood language.”
Do you like taking pictures?
Do you remember the first
type of camera you had? Have
you ever took a picture of
someone and they were un-
aware of it? Let me know and
I’ll give you a Penny for Your
Thoughts.

Antwerp Council reviewsachievements and goals
By STEVE MAJOR
Correspondent
ANTWERP – The Antwerp Village Council
heard Mayor Ray DeLong’s review of 2010
achievements and plans the village has for 2011
at the council’s monthly meeting on Jan. 11.
DeLong said that in 2011, the village would
have several improvement projects, including a
new sidewalk along East Canal connecting to the
school’s sidewalk system, improvement of the
Harrmann Road rail crossing and the start of ren-
ovation work on the historical railroad depot.
The village also will continue the sidewalk
improvement initiative and efforts to relocate the
Ehrhart Museum collection from the lower floor
of village hall.
The mayor would also like to see if the village
could fund leaf collection next fall, while asking
village employees and the council to remain fis-
cally frugal to maintain a balanced budget in
tough economic times.
The council passed a resolution asking the
county auditor to certify the total current tax val-
uation and dollar amount of revenue that would
be generated by a .8-mill renewal levy for ceme-
tery expenses. The village expects to place the
renewal levy on the November ballot.
The council also passed resolutions authoriz-
ing agreements for EMS services to Harrison
and Carryall townships.
In November, council approved a Community
Reinvestment Agreement (CRA) for further in-
vestment in the Manor House/Essen House com-
plex by the Midwest Senior Trust. However,
with proposed changes in that CRA, the council
repealed the November resolution and re-ap-
proved the CRA with a new resolution at this
meeting.
The CRA is for over $5 million, including ad-
ditional senior care facilities and investment in
new public facilities like the swimming pool and
a fitness center. As part of the CRA, the village
provides 100 percent abatement of new real es-
tate taxes on the new investment for 10 years.
However, the CRA also provides that the vil-
lage receive annual payments equal to 10 percent
of what the new taxes would have been.
The improvements at the Manor House/Essen
House will take a maximum of two years with
construction slated to start this February.
Village administrator Sara Keeran reported
that the village’s application to the Ohio Public
Works Commission (OPWC) for funding to
repave West Daggett was not approved. How-
ever, the OPWC advised the village to resubmit
the application for possible support through the
state’s Small Government funding mechanism.
Keeran said that the village would apply for a
50 percent grant and 50 percent 20-year no interest
loan for a total of $146,150. The loan would re-
quire the village to repay $3,653.75 per year.
A written report from the EMS for the period
Dec. 16 to Jan. 9 said that there were 12 runs,
seven of which were in the village.
The next meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m.
Monday, Feb. 14.

8A - Paulding County Progress Wednesday, January 19, 2011
QUESTION: I have a 17-
year-old daughter who
dreams of a career as a
singer, but she isn’t very
good. I know that sounds
bad coming from her mom,
but it’s true. What do you
recommend we do?
JULI: Let’s face it. Very few
kids have the talent to be the
next “American Idol” or
Heisman Trophy winner. But
we live in a society that con-
sistently spotlights perform-
ance and celebrity.
Too many young adults
dream of stardom and fame
that are out of their reach.
Yet, as a parent, it’s tough to
tell the truth to our kids with-
out feeling like we’re killing
their dream.
My advice to you is to
speak truth, lovingly. You
don’t have to come out and
say, “You can’t sing.” At 17,
she’s going to be running into
natural roadblocks that will
help her gauge her ability
compared to others. Your job
is to cast a picture for her of
a different dream: “You have
a love for singing and music.
I’ll bet you use that in your
life, even if you don’t be-
come a performing artist.
Maybe you’ll teach music or
lead a church choir.”
One of the great gifts my
parents gave me my senior
year of high school was ca-
reer testing. Local universi-
ties often have counseling or
career development depart-
ments that offer tests measur-
ing ability, aptitude, interests
and personality. When you
put the results together, a
young adult can get some
solid, objective feedback
about which career paths
may be the best fit. Although
it may cost several hundred
dollars up front, it can save
thousands of dollars and
years of wasted college
classes.
What your daughter most
needs to know is that she
doesn’t have to be a star to
earn your love and support.
QUESTION: I played the
trumpet in high school, and
it helped give me a life-long
appreciation for music. I
want my son to experience
the same thing, but he re-
fuses to pick up an instru-
ment. What should this
frustrated dad do?
JIM: I can certainly under-
stand your desire. What dad
doesn’t want his son to be a
“chip off the old block”? I
definitely enjoy watching my
own two boys developing an
interest in some of the same
things that interest me.
A recent study from
Canada, though, reveals that
parents who want their chil-
dren to discover a passion for
music or sports need to take
a hands-off approach.
There’s nothing wrong with
encouraging your son to take
up the trumpet, but don’t
push him into it. If he does
end up deciding to play an in-
strument, it might not be for
the joy of music. He might
just be doing it out of a sense
of obligation, or the fear of
disappointing you.
The Canadian study re-
vealed another danger with
parents forcing their kids to
pursue only the hobbies that
mom and dad think they
should. Some kids with high-
pressure parents will em-
brace the hobbies their folks
pick out for them, but they’ll
become obsessed with those
pursuits later on. Their hobby
will consume them. Their en-
tire identity can become
wrapped up in being a quar-
terback or a clarinet player.
But when they throw an in-
terception or make a mistake
in the orchestra, their self-es-
teem plummets.
Certainly, parents need to
be persistent about impress-
ing morals and values on
their kids. We don’t want
them to draw their own con-
clusions about what is right
and wrong. But research sug-
gests that when it comes to
hobbies, sports and other pas-
times, we need to grant them
some autonomy, and allow
them to develop the unique
gifts and talents God gave
them.

‘Winning the Battle for a Generation’By Rick Jones
exec. director, Defiance
Area Youth for Christ
We live in times of great adversity, where
economic and vocational challenges are test-
ing the limits of many people. Regarding the
subject of adversity, David Jeremiah writes in
his Nov. 19, 2003 Turning Point Devotional
that ...
More than 2,000 years ago, a young Greek
artist named Timanthes studied under a re-
spected tutor. After several years, the teacher’s
efforts seemed to have paid off when Timan-
thes painted an exquisite work of art. Unfor-
tunately, he became so enraptured with the
painting that he spent days gazing at it. One
morning when he arrived to admire his work,
he was shocked to find it blotted out with
paint. Angry, Timanthes ran to his teacher,
who admitted he had destroyed the painting:
“I did it for your own good. That painting was
retarding your progress.”
Timanthes took his teacher’s advice and
produced “Sacrifice of Iphigenia,” which is re-
garded as one of the finest paintings of antiq-
uity.
Adversity in life is God’s way of refining
and beautifying our lives in His image. He is
the Master Artist who constantly shapes the
way He wants us to be. The scriptures remind
us in adversity that in Romans 8:28 (NIV),
“And we know that in all things God works
for the good of those who love him, who have
been called according to his purpose...”
If you haven’t been walking with God, He
still loves you and wants you back. It is never
too late for God to refinish the colors of your
heart. If you are walking with God, take com-
fort because He promises to love you uncon-
ditionally.
(Turning Point Daily Devotional, 11/19/03)

EPA vetoes permitfor mountaintopremoval minein Appalachia
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. –
The Environmental Protection
Agency has denied a crucial
Clean Water Act permit for the
largest-ever proposed moun-
taintop-removal coal mine in
Appalachia.
The agency’s veto of the
permit for the controversial
Spruce Mine in Logan County,
W.Va., is the first-ever retroac-
tive denial of a mining permit.
The permit had already been
approved by the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, but the
EPA had authority to overrule
that decision. Its permit denial
means the mine cannot go for-
ward as planned.
The proposed coal mine
would have destroyed 2,300
acres of forest and buried
nearly seven miles of streams.
The EPA reviewed more
than 50,000 public comments
on the proposed mine. Its veto
is based on water-pollution
impacts, including down-
stream fish kills. Pollution
from mountaintop-removal
mining has been found to
cause deformities and repro-
ductive failure in downstream
wildlife and has been associat-
ed with cancer clusters in
communities exposed to high
levels of coal-mining activity.
Coal-field residents have
been fighting the Spruce
Mine proposal since 1998.

Reduce junk mailFrom Ohio Department of
Natural Resources
Junk mail creates four million tons of pre-
ventable waste each year. The enormous
waste generated by junk mail has a big neg-
ative impact. This junk ...
• Costs taxpayers $320 million in disposal
fees annually.
• Destroys 62 million trees a year.
• Creates 28 billion gallons of wastewater
per year.
• Fills 3 percent of America’s landfills.
• 44 percent percent is unopened, unread
and trashed.
Most junk mail companies get your name
and information from just a few major mail-
ing lists. By removing your name and infor-
mation from these lists, you can cut the
majority of the junk mail that clogs your
mailbox and help to ease this wasteful prac-
tice. Here’s who to contact to cut the junk:
1. End unsolicited credit card offers by
telling the major credit agencies not to sell
your information to direct mail and credit
card companies. You’ll need your address,
former address within two years and your
Social Security number. Call 1-888-5 OPT
OUT (or 1-888-567-8688) 24 hours a day, or
fill out the online form at www.optoutpre-screen.com/opt_form.cgi
2. Add your name to the Do Not Mail List
maintained by directmail.com. This is a free serv-
ice. Visit www.directmail.com/directory/mail_prefer-ence/
3. Add your name to the Mail Preference
Service maintained by the Direct Marketing
Association. A $1 fee payable by credit card
is used for verification purposes. Visit
www.dmachoice.org/dma/member/home.actionThe DMA also maintains a Deceased Do
Not Contact List that allows you to remove
the names of any deceased relatives whose
mail you are receiving. Visit www.ims-dm.com/cgi/ddnc.php
4. Notify specific companies or catalogues
that you wish to be removed from their lists.
Call the number listed on the mailing or cat-
alogue. Give them your catalogue or cus-
tomer number, on the back of the publica-
tion.
6. The Consumers Research Institute at
www.stopjunk.com maintains a Stop the Junk
Mail toolkit for purchase to assist in contact-
ing the places that send you junk mail.
7. For businesses, enroll in the EcoLogical
Mail Coalition, an initiative to help compa-
nies reduce junk mail by removing ex-
employees from outside mailing lists. Visit
www.ecologicalmail.orgBy taking these steps, you can free up
space in your mailbox, and space in our land-
fills.
Just remember, any time you sign up for a
new service or give out your personal informa-
tion such as name, address and telephone num-
ber to a company, that information could be
sold to other companies. Avoid giving out your
information whenever possible.
With that in mind, it is difficult to end junk
mail entirely. For the mail pieces that you do
receive, be sure to recycle them.
Though less draining on natural resources,
telemarketer calls and electronic junk mail
are also annoying. Unwanted solicitations
come in many forms, including telemarket-
ing, spam e-mail and pop up ads. Defenses
include:
• Registering with the official “Do Not
Call Registry”at www.donotcall.gov• Filing a complaint with the Federal
Trade Commission. For more information,
call 1-877-FTC-HELP or visit www.ftc.gov
Socks made out of recycled water bottles may improve yourathletic performance.
Plastic bottlesbecoming legwear
(NAPS) – Living a lifestyle
that uses less resources has
become easier than ever
thanks to consumer interest in
recycled products. People
everywhere are learning that
even the smallest steps can
make a difference. This
demand has caused some
companies to pursue recy-
cling technologies that turn
yesterday’s waste into appar-
el products.
One innovative transfor-
mation comes from discard-
ed, postconsumer waste –
plastic bottles. These bottles
can be turned into fabric that
is used to create a variety of
clothing and accessory
options, including socks.
Through six simple steps and
a little creativity, yesterday’s
waste becomes today’s high-
performance legwear.
With this technology, used,
postconsumer plastic bottles
are collected, cleaned and
ground into flakes, which are
then turned into chips. The
chips are then made into
COOLMAX® EcoMade
fiber with 97 percent recycled
material, which is engineered
with special microchannel
cross sections to help move
moisture away from the body.
This fiber is spun into yarn,
which is then used by sock
manufacturers, here in North
America and elsewhere, to
make high-performance
socks.
Brands and retailers create
socks with an enhanced func-
tionality that are designed for
a variety of high-performance
activities such as running and
cycling. The socks dry quick-
ly, help keep the wearer cool
and comfortable, and main-
tain a natural feel that’s soft,
lightweight and breathable.
Consumers do not have to
sacrifice style or performance
standards in order to wear
apparel manufactured from
recycled resources. There are
now dozens of sock styles
available nationwide in a
variety of colors and designs
for men, women and chil-
dren.
Best of all, consumers who
wear socks that are made
from COOLMAX®
EcoMade fiber benefit from
knowing they are helping to
use less resources, starting
with their own foot. To learn

Ohio EPA releases firstair toxics summary report
Ohio’s air quality has
been improving during the
last decade, although
improvements are still need-
ed in urban areas and some
specific sections of the state.
Ten years of monitoring
data from 34 air toxics mon-
itoring sites located in 16
Ohio counties have been
compiled and evaluated as
Ohio EPA’s 2010 All Ohio
Air Toxics Report. Not all
of the air monitors were
sampled continuously dur-
ing the study’s 10-year term.
To view the full report, go
to www.epa.ohio.gov/por-tals/27/atu/AllOhioAirToxicsReport2010.pdf
According to U.S. EPA
data, a majority of air toxics
come from mobile sources –
automobiles, buses, trucks,
trains, boats and planes.
However, there are specific
areas where a single industri-
al source has been identified
to be contributing a great deal
to localized air quality issues.
When this has happened,
Ohio EPA has taken enforce-
ment action and worked to
reduce the problem.
Director Chris Korleski
said the report takes each
year’s air toxics results and
puts them together in a docu-
ment that shows meaningful
trends.
“This report allows scien-
tists to identify specific
areas of concern potentially
requiring further Ohio EPA
action, such as assisting
with voluntary reduction
efforts and compliance with
new federal standards. It
also helps us monitor if
improvement is occurring in
Ohio’s urban areas.”
Based on U.S. EPA risk
guidelines and toxicity val-
ues for volatile organic
compounds (VOCs) and
heavy metals, Ohio EPA
compared data from the air
monitors to health-based
standards. These standards
estimate the number of
additional cancers and other
health problems associated
with inhaling pollutants at
various concentrations.
U.S. EPA considers a risk
level of fewer than 1 in
10,000 additional cancers
associated with constantly
breathing an air pollutant to
be within acceptable levels.
While nine of the 16 counties
are within the risk range
deemed acceptable, seven
counties have a slightly
greater than 1 in 10,000 risk
for additional cancers. These
counties are: Columbiana,
Hamilton, Jefferson, Marion,
Montgomery, Scioto and
Washington.
Cancer is not the only dis-
ease that breathing air pollu-
tion can cause and the study
examined non-cancer-related
illnesses as well. The concen-
trations of VOCs at three sites
exhibit higher non-cancer
risk levels. Heavy metal con-
centrations (most often man-
ganese) at more than half of
the air monitoring sites lead
to an increased non-cancer
health risk.
The study results are
designed to provide a useful
summary of ambient air qual-
ity information about air toxi-
cs compounds to the public,
including academic
researchers, other govern-
mental agency and health
care professionals, and Ohio
EPA’s pollution control part-
ners throughout the state.
While this information
depicts air pollution measure-
ments sometimes down to the
neighborhood level, any indi-
vidual conclusions regarding
actual exposures or health
impacts should be addressed
by an individual’s personal
physician. Specific caveats
and assumptions regarding
interpretation of these results
are explained in detail in the
report.
Easy ways to save
water at home(NAPSI) – Using water
wisely can save homeown-
ers money, reduce energy
costs and help protect the
planet.
Here are a few easy con-
servation steps you can
take:
1. Check for leaks. Even
the smallest leak from a
worn faucet washer can
waste gallons of water every
day. You can also use your
water meter to check for
hidden leaks. Just read the
water meter before and after
a time when no water is
being used. If the meter
shows water has been used,
there is a leak. Talk to your
plumber.
2. Only use your dish-
washer and clothes washer
when you have a full load.
Washing smaller loads of
laundry can use twice as
much water per pound of
laundry.
3. When you wash dishes,
don’t let the water run to
rinse them. Fill a second sink
with clear water for rinsing.
Don’t rinse dishes before
loading in the dishwasher.
4. Install water-saving
showerheads. A four-minute
shower can use up to 40 gal-
lons of water, and while you
can take shorter showers, you
can also save water with a
low-flow showerhead.
All products that bear the
WaterSense label are tested
and certified by an approved
third-party laboratory to
ensure they meet EPA crite-
ria. For example, shower-
heads that earn the
WaterSense label must use no
more than 2.0 gallons per
minute.
5. Turn off the tap after
wetting your toothbrush. In
general, any time water is
running, you are wasting it.
That includes shaving and
cooling water to drink.
Following these few sim-
ple tips can help you save
on your water bill.

Panther boys’ wins are more than victoriesBy JIM LANGHAM
Sportswriter
The Paulding boys won
two basketball games over
the weekend. In so doing,
they accomplished much
more than chalking up “Ws”
in the win columns. Their 49-
37 win over Crestview on
Friday evening vaulted the
Panthers square in the middle
of the Northwest Conference
race by improving their
NWC record to 2-1.
Then, on Saturday night,
the local squad rolled over
Fairview, 66-45, to better po-
sition themselves in upcom-
ing sectional play later in the
winter.
“We did two good things
this weekend,” said Paulding
head coach Shawn Brewer.
“By beating Crestview, we’re
right back in the conference
race again. Then, by defeat-
ing Fairview, we bettered
ourselves in sectional seed-
ing.”
Several things pleased
Brewer about his squad’s
performance last weekend.
He liked the balanced attack
of his offense and was
equally as pleased with the
tenacity of his improving de-
fense.
“We really did a nice job of
getting the ball inside,” said
Brewer. “It wasn’t just the
bigs. The little guys did their
part of getting in there, too.
Defensively, we did a good
job of moving. We kept
changing motion with our
opponents’ offense.”
In Friday’s all-important
conference game, the Pan-
thers established a seven
point advantage (25-18) mid-
way through the second quar-
ter and then stayed at least
two possessions in front of
the Knights for a majority of
the game. When Crestview
threatened, the Panthers kept
their poise and continued to
meet the challenges.
With Paulding on top 27-
20 at the beginning of the
third quarter, Crestview’s
Brad Miller landed a 3-point
shot to close the gap to 27-
23. However, Paulding’s
Derrick Pease met the chal-
lenge with a trey on the Pan-
ther end of the court to claim
a 30-23 advantage. Dallis
Gibson of Crestview fought
back to close the gap to 30-
25, but Paulding’s Dylan
Welch hit nothing but net
from the top of the key to add
three and give the Panthers a
33-25 advantage.
In the final stanza, the Pan-
ther inside-outside game con-
tinued to dominate as the
local squad prevailed 10-8 in
the final eight minutes to win
going away.
Grant Harder led Pauld-
ing’s scoring with 14 points
while Pease added 10 points
to the winning cause. Miller
led Crestview with nine
points.
On Saturday night, Daniele
Guarnaschelli and Pease each
contributed 10 points and
Anthony Arellano posted up
16 points to lead the Panther
charge. Luke Kuhn led
Fairview’s scoring with 11
points.
Paulding established its
game early by grabbing a 21-
4 advantage at the end of the
first quarter. The Panthers
maintained a 31-14 lead at
the halfway mark en route to
the one-sided win.
Paulding’s protection of
the ball was strong both
nights with only eight
turnovers on Friday night and
nine on Saturday.
This weekend, the Panther
boys travel to Delphos Jeffer-
son on Saturday night and
then return home to play Ay-
ersville on Saturday.
“We were determined this
weekend that we were going
to win over a team better than
.500. We did that on Friday
night,” said Brewer of his 7-
4 Panthers. “That’s our goal
now, to keep winning against
good teams.”

Wayne Trace girls post two winsBy KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
HAVILAND – Wayne
Trace improved to 10-0 last
week with a road win at Ay-
ersville on Friday before
rolling past Parkway Saturday
at the Palace.
In Green Meadows Confer-
ence action at the Pilot Hangar,
the Lady Raiders opened a 17-
2 advantage after one quarter
and pulled away for a 75-32
victory.
Kacee Hockenberry scored
18 points to pace the Lady
Raiders with Jo Ellen Fickel
adding 17 and Krystal Wan-
nemacher chipping in 14.
Kelsey Heck also scored nine
for Wayne Trace.
“It was good to get off to a
quick start and be able to play
at a high level,” Davis noted.
“It’s always a concern when
you have as much time off as
we have had this season but
the girls came out ready to go
right away tonight.”
That they did. The Raiders
scored the game’s first 13
points before eventually set-
tling on a 17-2 advantage after
one quarter.
After the Raiders’ Hocken-
berry scored consecutive
buckets to open the second
quarter scoring, Ayersville
would never get closer than 17
points the rest of the way.
The local squad led by as
much as 35-10 in the second
quarter before posting a 36-14
advantage at the intermission.
“I thought we did a good job
of continuing to play after we
were able to get in front,”
Davis added. “That is some-
thing we haven’t always done
but we did that tonight.”
Wayne Trace widened the
lead to 58-20 at the end of
three periods and the fourth
quarter consisted of many
bench players on both teams
getting lots of playing time.
“It was a good night for us
that we were able to rest some
girls a little bit tonight and get
some of the other girls more
playing time,” continued the
Raider mentor.
Fickel also posted seven
boards on the night with Hock-
enberry, Wannemacher and
Sarah Feasby all dishing out
four assists. Hockenberry also
recorded four steals.
Ayersville, which falls to 4-
6 overall and 1-1 in the league,
was led by nine points each
from Kayla Zachrich and
Kaleigh Martin. Megan Schu-
bert picked up eight boards for
the Pilots.
Wayne Trace’s junior varsity
also was victorious with a 39-
26 win over the Pilots.
Kari Myers, Rebecca
Habern and Lauren Speice
each scored eight points for the
Raiders.
On Saturday afternoon,
Wayne Trace used a 20-0 run
in the first quarter and never
looked back in rolling to a 91-
30 victory over Parkway in
non-league girls basketball ac-
tion at the Palace.
The Raiders grabbed a 26-
10 advantage after one quarter
and cruised from there to the
victory. Wayne Trace led 54-
19 at halftime after outscoring
the visiting Panthers 28-9 in
the second stanza.
“It was good to see that we
came back and played well
today after a league game last
night,” noted Raider head
coach Greg Davis.
Hockenberry and Feasby
each bucketed 15 points for the
Raiders with Janelle Davis
adding 11 markers.
Wannemacher chipped in
nine while Andrea Padilla,
Lauren Speice and Fickel also
scored eight points each.
“We were able to get contri-
butions from everybody
today,” Davis added. “It was a
good effort for us and the girls
played well.”
Kelsey Heck and Ashley
Saylor also added seven and
six points, respectively.
Wayne Trace, which moves
to 10-0 on the season, outre-
bounded the Panthers 55-36 on
the day. Saylor recorded 10
boards with Feasby grabbing
seven. Hockenberry, Speice
and Davis also picked up six
boards each. Davis also dished
out five assists and Wan-
nemacher recorded four steals.
The Raiders won the
turnover battle, 11-24.
Wayne Trace’s junior varsity
moved to 7-4 on the season
with a 42-14 win over the Pan-
thers.
Lauren Speice bucketed 16
points with Kari Myers
Wayne Trace resumes
Green Meadows Conference
action on Friday as the Raiders
welcome in Hicksville before
visiting Edon in non-league
play on Saturday.

Archers beat Holgate; set up GMC showdown with EdgertonBy STEVE MAJOR
Sportswriter
ANTWERP – The Antwerp
Archers played themselves back
into the boys’ GMC hunt with a 30-
21 victory over the visiting Holgate
Tigers last Thursday night.
After having lost to Tinora in the
GMC opener, a loss to Holgate
would have ended any league cham-
pion dreams. But, the Archers re-
sponded to the challenge big time to
beat the Tigers.
The victory sets up a GMC show-
down this Thursday night as league
co-leaders Edgerton comes to town.
The game will also have a huge re-
venge factor as the Bulldogs beat
heavily favored Antwerp in the sec-
tional finals last year.
In the Holgate game, Antwerp
used a pressing, in-your-face de-
fense to set the tone of the game and
build a commanding 16-4 half-time
lead. The third quarter was all Hol-
gate though as the Tigers out scored
Antwerp 13-4 to make it just a 3-
point game going into the final
stanza. But the Archers responded to
the challenge to pull away for the
win.
“It was a quality win against a
good opponent,” said Scott
McMichael, Antwerp’s head coach.
“We put together three very good
quarters, but in that third quarter
they came at us and forced
turnovers. We still need to get better
yet in certain situations.”
The key to the win was really
Antwerp’s defense.
“All 10 guys hit the floor and did
a good job on defense for us. We did
a better job of communicating. We
kept them off balance by changing
our zones. But to be able to do that
you have to all be on the same page,
which we were,” explained
McMichael.
The Antwerp coach had extra
praise for his post defenders –
Shaile Chamberlain, Tanner Copsey,
Bryant Miesle and Justin Bute.
“Our ‘bigs’ did a real nice job of
limiting the touches for Holgate’s
big man Ryan Aelker. He came in
averaging about 14 points a game
and held him to just two,” said a
very pleased McMichael.
Early in the season Antwerp
struggled to find its identity as a
team, as McMichael and the
Antwerp coaches figured out how
best to use the team’s deep bench.
Having 10 players who all deserve
court time may sound like a blessing
for a coach, but it is even more of a
challenge to get all those gears
meshing together.
The win over Holgate was a true
team effort with all 10 guys con-
tributing on defense and eight of
them breaking into the scoring col-
umn. Maybe the Archers have put
the early season identity crisis be-
hind them. And just in time as the
Edgerton game is the biggest
matchup of the year so far.
Edgerton is 2-0 in the conference
(8-1 overall), having defeated a very
good Tinora team 55-44 last week.
Antwerp is 1-1 in the GMC so this
is a must win game for Antwerp if
the Archers are going to success-
fully defend their league title;
falling behind Edgerton by two
games at this point would just be too
much to overcome.
“Edgerton has a lot of very nice
pieces,” said McMichael. “They
have some quality big guys, a very
athletic wing and good guards.”
Last year, Edgerton put a quick
end to Antwerp’s dream of a long
tournament run when the Bulldogs
pulled a huge upset at sectionals.
This is something that has to be in
the minds of Antwerp’s player and
coaches.
“They knocked us out of the tour-
nament last year, too. Edgerton is
playing with a lot of confidence. It
will take a huge effort from us to
win,” said McMichael.
Antwerp will also travel to Lin-
colnview for a Saturday night game,
but the main focus is on the Edger-
ton matchup.
In the JV game, Antwerp beat
Holgate 38-31 to up the season
record to 7-2.
“We pushed the ball and got lots
of layup; plus we played good de-
fense,” said Jason Hormann,
Antwerp’s JV coach. “We also did a
good job on the boards. Holgate
would only get one shot and we
would be on offense. It was a good
team win.”
Andy Coleman had a monster
night for the JV Archers by scoring
20 points.
“Andy had a good overall game
for us. He got some steals that led to
layups,” added Hormann.
Lady Archers fall to HolgateBy STEVE MAJOR
Sportswriter
ANTWERP – The Lady
Archers’ goal of a league
championship took a setback
last Friday night as they
dropped a GMC matchup at
Holgate 38-26.
The two teams battled to
an 18-18 halftime tie, but it
was the Lady Tigers who di-
aled their game up a notch in
the third quarter to outscore
Antwerp 13-2 to take a com-
fortable lead into the fourth
quarter.
“It was a good game until
the third quarter,” said Kevin
Taylor, Antwerp’s varsity
coach. “But early in that
quarter we turned the ball
over five times in a row. And
Holgate converted two of
those turnovers into 3-point-
ers. We only had two shots in
the whole third quarter, all
the rest of the possessions re-
sulted in turnovers.
“The girls tried to get it all
back at once and we were
just in too much of a hurry; I
couldn’t get them slowed
down,” continued Taylor.
“We had some chances in the
fourth quarter, but we didn’t
hit shots. When we get tired,
we don’t shoot well.”
The inability to put to-
gether four strong quarters
has hurt Antwerp in losses
this year.
“It seems like we always
have one poor quarter, and
lately it has been the third
quarter. I don’t know if we
are not prepared or we are
just not up. But Holgate
made some good offensive
adjustments on us at half-
time and we didn’t locate
shooters in the corners. Hol-
gate is a good team and they
just wore us down with their
pressure and physical play,”
added the Antwerp coach.
One bright spot for the
Lady Archers was the offense
of sophomore guard Alexis
Jones, who found her shoot-
ing stroke after a few low-
scoring games and led the
Archers with 15 points, in-
cluding three three-pointers.
“Alexis had her first good
scoring game in a while,”
said Taylor. “We ran some
new plays for her to get some
open shots.”
On the other hand, Holgate
was able to limit the Archers’
leading scorer Jessie Arnold
to just three points.
“With the pressure Holgate
put on us, we had to have
Jessie handle the ball a lot,
which limited her touches in-
side,” explained Taylor.
With the loss to Holgate,
the Archers now have an
overall record of 7-4 and the
team is 1-1 in the GMC. But
having played two of the best
three teams in the league,
Antwerp is still in a position
to control its own GMC des-
tiny.
“One of the girls’ goals is
to put a number up on league
championship banner in
gym,” explained Taylor. “We
are 1-1 in GMC and if we
win the rest we will be al-
right, but we can’t let any-
more games slip by.”
Next up for the Archers
was a trip to Lincolnview on
Tuesday night for a non-
league encounter with the
Lady Lancers. But, this week
most of Antwerp’s attention
will be on the Friday-night
GMC contest at Edgerton (1-
1 GMC and 4-8 overall).
“Once they see the tapes
from the past few games I ex-
pect Edgerton to come out
with pressure. We need to
take care of the ball for four
quarters, not just three. Plus
on defense we will need to
limit the touches by Edger-
ton’s scorers,” explained
Taylor.
Overall Taylor is pleased
with where his team is at this
point in the season, even
though Antwerp only has
seven varsity players.
“We have made some
strides and we have surprised
a few people, including our-
selves. The girls have bought
into what we want them to
do. But they have to learn
how to play better when they
are tired, which is really a
mental aspect of the game,”
said the Antwerp coach.
The Antwerp JV team fell to
Holgate 28-12, which drops its
season record to 5-6.
“We played well for the
first quarter, but then their
pressure got to us,” explained
Antwerp JV coach Joe Smal-
ley. “We when get behind the
girls get down on them-
selves. They have to learn
how to play through it and
keep working hard even if we
can’t win the game.”

Fourth quarter proves
deadly for Lady PanthersBy JIM LANGHAM
Sportswriter
Paulding head basketball
coach Lyndsi Shininger
summed up the downfall of
the Lady Panther basketball
team in two weekend
losses.
“They still don’t how to
win,” said Shininger. “A
nine-point lead is not that
much. We still had eight
minutes of basketball to
play.”
Shininger’s comment
came following the squad’s
46-43 loss to rival Van Wert
at the local gym on Satur-
day afternoon.
Early in the fourth quar-
ter, the Panthers still held a
35-26 advantage over the
Cougars, but the visitors
began to chip away at the
score midway through the
quarter.
With Paulding still lead-
ing 37-33, Van Wert’s
Molly Gamble scored and
sank a free throw to close
the gap to 37-36. In the next
possession, Gamble was
fouled again. She hit one of
two to tie the score at 38-38.
Paulding temporarily re-
gained the lead when Abbey
Edwards sank a pair of free
throws, but the Cougars’
Toni Acquanua swished a
trey to give Van Wert a 41-
40 advantage.
Edwards cooly sank two
more free throws to push
the Panthers back into a 42-
41 advantage, but Van
Wert’s Brooke Keber retal-
iated with 15 seconds re-
maining to shift the lead
back to the visitors, 43-42.
Then, Van Wert’s Alex
Morrow dropped in a cou-
ple of free throws to put the
game out of reach for the
local squad.
“We panicked at the end,”
said Shininger. “They made
a couple of shots and fed off
it. We were too comfortable
with our nine-point lead. It
shouldn’t have been.”
On Thursday night, the
Panthers, who went into
their contest with Crestview
with a 3-0 NWC record,
fought hard against a tough
Knight squad for three
quarters. But Paulding
buckled under Crestview
pressure in the final eight
minutes as the visitors
outscored the Panthers 19-2
in the final eight minutes to
win going away, 48-31.
In that contest, Paulding
led 10-6 at the end of the
first quarter, but Crestview
fought back to lead 15-14 at
the half. At the end of the
third stanza, the two teams
were still battling, with
Crestview on top by two
points, 29-27.
Abbey Edwards scored
eight points and Jessica Farr
added 10 points for the Pan-
thers in the Crestview out-
ing. On Saturday, Edwards
again scored eight points
while Ashley Myers scored
nine points.
This week the Panthers,
now 3-1 in conference play,
will entertain conference
foe Delphos Jefferson on
Thursday.
“There is no question that
they (Jefferson) are going to
try to press us all over the
place,” said Shininger. “We
are going to be working
hard on our press this week.
It needs more work.
“We also need work on
communicating on the
court,” continued Shininger.
“When Van Wert went to
the full court press, we did-
n’t talk enough. We’re
going to keep working on
our press-breaker. We know
that’s what they are going to
do to us.”

Tony Vogel
Tony Vogel graduated from

HAVILAND – Wayne
Trace showed improve-
ment on Saturday night but
it wasn’t enough as the
Raiders fell in a non-league
battle at Delphos Jefferson
by a 63-51 margin.
The Raiders, now 2-8
overall and 0-2 in the
Green Meadows Confer-
ence, led 24-19 at halftime,
but 14 second half
turnovers proved to be too
much to overcome.
“We have to do a better
job of taking care of the
basketball and we didn’t do
that tonight,” commented
Wayne Trace’s Jim Linder.
“They stepped up the de-
fensive intensity and we
simply didn’t handle it very
well.”
The Raiders actually
widened the lead to 35-28
with just over four minutes
left in the third quarter, but
it was all Wildcats from
that point on.
Delphos Jefferson turned
up the intensity in the final
four minutes, outscoring
the visitors 13-5 the rest of
the quarter for a 41-40 ad-
vantage.
Wildcat guard Ryan
Ebbeskotte had an out-
standing quarter as well,
bucketing 16 points while
recording four steals in the
period.
“We just had no answer
for him,” Linder said of the
Wildcat standout. “He is so
quick and so athletic; he is
just tough to defend. When
he gets going, he makes all
of their kids better players
and then they are very dif-
ficult to defend.”
Once the Wildcats got on
track, they continued to
control the game in the
final period.
Delphos Jefferson
opened the fourth quarter
with a 13-0 run that gave
the hosts a commanding
54-40 advantage.
“I think we really picked
up the intensity and then
our confidence level was
high and they started ques-
tioning themselves and got
a little tentative as well,”
noted Jefferson head coach
Marc Smith.
Wayne Trace got as close
as seven at 56-49, follow-
ing buckets by Grady Gu-
dakunst and Dalton Sinn
along with a pair of Sinn
foul shots.
However, two Logan
Bonifas baskets sealed any
doubt in the 63-51 Wildcat
win.
Ebbeskotte led all scorers
with 28 points in the contest
while adding four assists
and eight steals. Dunlap
chipped in 13 markers with
four steals and Bonifas
recorded 11 points and 11
rebounds.
“We definitely saw some
areas we have to get better
at,” concluded Linder. “But
we also had some positive
things to take away from
this. We just have to keep
building and working hard.”
Critten bucketed 22
points for the red, white and
blue with Gudakunst adding
11 and Sinn chipping in
nine. Critten also had a
dozen boards for Wayne
Trace and Sinn recorded six
steals.
The Raider junior varsity
improved to 7-3 on the sea-
son with a 37-26 win over
the Wildcats.
Korbin Showalter buck-
eted 13 points to lead the
red, white and blue while
Austin Speice, Nick Mc-
Dennis Saam/Paulding County ProgressRaider center Ryan Kortokrax wants the ball on an out of bounds play under the basket.

of those seven, losing only
one by a very close deci-
sion. We also had three
fourth-place finishers, so
overall I would say we did
a really great job here
today.
“All day, it was neck
and neck with Montpelier,
but in the end we managed
to come out on top,” Sta-
bler added.

added five each. Ross
