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.

Correspondent

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.

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,

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-

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

formed between her parents

and Joyce and me. Nervously,

I waited for my cell phone to

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-

First grandchild: There’sno way to describe this

I knew that they were telling

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

Cindi’s bedside, she reached

for my hand. I took her hand,

told her what a beautiful

It was just the beginning of the

phrase, “No way to describe

At the proper time, we were

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.

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,

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.”

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.

a really great job here

today.
