PAULDING – A benefit is being plannedand is to be held at 6 p.m. Saturday, March 23,at the Paulding Eagles.

The benefit is being held for Karen WiswellPrice to assist her with medical expenses as shewas recently diagnosed with not only breastcancer, but Stage 4 bone cancer.

Price, who is a dispatcher for the PauldingCounty Sheriff’s Office, went in to thePaulding County Hospital for a routine mam-mogram in November.

The initial report came back as suspiciousand another test was done. It was then con-firmed that she indeed had breast cancer. It wasbelieved at that time to be Stage 1.

Not wanting to risk getting cancer anywhereelse in her body, she decided to have a radicalmastectomy and had both breasts removed. Shealso had reconstructive surgery done at thesame time.

Price left the hospital being told and feelinglike she was cancer-free. She returned to her job,which she loves, at the sheriff’s office Jan. 4.

However, as she was watching TV one night,she reached over to get her remote and felt asharp pain in her ribs on the left side. It wasvery painful and she felt that something justwasn’t right.

Her oncologist and surgeon felt there couldbe something else going on, so it was recom-

mended that she go to Parkview North in FortWayne for a bone scan.

That was on Feb. 4 and the results were earthshattering. Price had Stage 4 cancer which hadspread via the blood in her bones. This includ-ed her spine, skull, mandible, left and rightribcage, pelvis and hip.

Another scan determined that the cancer hadnot spread to any organs. On Feb. 4, she re-ceived two shots, Lupron and Xgeva. Theseshots are to be given to her once a month.

She also started the medication Tamoxifen.The medications, shots and doctor visits arevery expensive and she will be on some of themedicines for at least five years.

In addition, she will have to go in for numer-ous testings as she combats the cancer.

Karen said, “My partner, David Snyder, mydaughter, Rachael, and my family and friendsare my support system. I have three sisters, abrother and a stepsister, many nieces, nephewsand cousins.

“We have always gotten our family togetherat my mom’s, Sandra Parrish’s, everyWednesday and Sunday night for years. It is atime we share our thoughts and support, eat andtalk. We have done it for years. That specialtime with family really helps.”

In conclusion Karen said, “I think I may getto go back to work tomorrow. The employeesat the sheriff’s office are like a family. I lovemy job there. I have to stay busy and positive.”

Several filings made in Manor House suitBy DENISE GEBERSProgress Staff Writer

PAULDING – Two judgment en-tries were filed last week concerningAntwerp Holdings LLC’s law suitagainst several parties involved withthe Manor House Assisted LivingLtd. complex.

Remaining unresolved issues areto be considered at a hearing onThursday, May 23.

Judge Tiffany Reighter Beckmanordered a $579,245.63 summaryjudgment in favor of the plaintiffagainst defendant TDM3 Ltd. Thiscovered back rent for the propertywith three percent prejudgment inter-est plus $50,298.50 in attorneys’ fees.

This judgment, ordered Tuesday,March 5, was filed with the clerk onThursday, March 7.

On Friday, March 8, a secondjudgment entry was filed with theclerk and had been signed the sameday. This entry concerned the tangi-ble personal property at the complex.

Judge Reighter Beckman deemedthat all tangible personal property lo-cated at 204 Archer Drive and 305Woodcox Drive, Antwerp (theManor House and Essen House facil-ities), is to remain at those locations.

All of the suit’s parties, their em-ployees, successors and assigns were“restrained” from removing any ofthe property, including that included

on an exhibit list, per current or fu-ture orders of the Court.

Property listed as Exhibit AA wasapproved for sale to Vancrest ofAntwerp LLC for the sum of$44,390 on two conditions: that reliefor consent for the action is obtainedfrom bankruptcy court; and that the$44,390, most of which will be paidto Richland Bank, will release thepersonal property in question fromlien obligation and with the remain-der paying receivership fees.

Successful sale of these assets willgrant Vancrest free and clear owner-ship of the same.

Vancrest is the new operator of theassisted living and restaurant facili-

ties in Antwerp, beginning March 1by contract with Antwerp HoldingsLLC.

Before the hearing, AntwerpHoldings waived ownership/lienrights to the property, all defendantsexpressed no objection to the sale butdid not “specifically consent” be-cause of “potential bankruptcy is-sues.”

Defendants Louis Lengacher,Mary Lengacher and TDM3 Ltd. arehaving a pending bankruptcy in FortWayne transformed from a Chapter11 to Chapter 7 proceeding. Vancrestand Antwerp Holdings agreed to“clarify said sale issues with theLengacher Bankruptcy Court to ob-

tain relief from stay.”Ownership of all tangible personal

property at the two businesses, butnot listed on Exhibit AA, will be de-termined at the May hearing.

Other pending matters could in-clude actions requested by AntwerpHoldings in their response to the re-ceiver’s first account and report.Among the requests is to order LouisLengacher to repay $55,996.05 to thereceiver because he withdrew andpaid out funds without receiver orcourt approval (“Antwerp Holdingsbelieves that these expenditures weremade to finance and pay for the de-velopment of an assisted living facil-ity in Van Wert, Ohio.”).

Obituaries Updated weekdays at www.progressnewspaper.org The Amish CookBy: Lovina Eicher

So, it was with a real senseof intrigue that I listened toseveral production companiesthat approached me last sum-mer about developing a TV se-ries based on my Amishexperiences.

I’ve been writing about theAmish my whole adult life, butI wanted, at least for a monthor two, to live like the Amish.Not to become Amish, that shiphas sailed, but to live like themfor awhile and then go back tomy day job hopefully pro-foundly and spiritually re-freshed by the experience. I have many Amish friendswho would take me in, but meand a TV crew? That was thechallenge.

So I undertook a months-long journey which I made atthe production company’s be-hest and my own expense.

In the end, I did find someAmish families willing to takeme in and open their homes toTV crews. None of us weredoing it for the pay (reality TVpay is paltry unless your nameis Snookie), although I willadmit the exposure this wouldgive my work, would put TheAmish Cook column on soundground forever and that wasappealing.

I don’t think a programabout the Amish need be astaid, somber boring documen-tary, but it doesn’t have to fitthe shout-filled cookie cutterreality-show mold either.

Lovina will be back nextweek.

“Oh you shouldn’t havedone that.”

“Why not?” I asked quizzi-cally.

“Because I’ll move here andtake this piece and then thisone,” the Amish man said witha hearty laugh, eyes twinklingand prominent white beardcasting a shadow over the well-worn board.

I should have known betterthan to challenge a championchecker player to a match. Hecreamed me in three straightgames, before we headed outinto the beautiful HolmesCounty countryside for a greatlunch and conversation.

“You’ll find someone foryour show, I’m sure of it,” the70-year-old Amish man saidwhen we parted ways. “Andyou’re welcome to stay hereany time.”

Television, lately, has had anitch for the Amish. So, they’vescratched it with shows thathave become wildly popularlike Discovery Channel’sAmish Mafia and TLC’sBreaking Amish. Televisionhas stumbled upon what somany would-be novelists havediscovered and that is to put abonnet or beard on it and itsells.

I’m not sure, however, ifsuch shows are the way to goabout it. It is not that TV andthe Amish, if done right, are to-tally incompatible.

Preschoolersplay bookmobileDear Editor,

We here in the Village ofLatty really appreciate being astop for the Paulding CountyCarnegie Library Bookmo-bile. The creative minds andartistic hands of Kathy Hef-fley and Tawnya Englishmake a visit to the bookmo-bile a truly enjoyable experi-ence.

Just recently, they postedthe attached story [below] ontheir Facebook page and thestory went viral. It even got a“like” from the country of

Hungary.Just thought you’d like to

know – our bookmobile ismaking news around theworld!

Kay MillerClerk-TreasurerVillage of Latty

‘I wanna be a bookmobilelady!’

We were at Little Harvestpreschool, finished our story-time with them and we werechecking out their books. I scanthe books, Tawnya stamps theirhands so we can track who hasbeen thru the line and if wehave the same number of bookschecked out as kids on board.

One little girl told me shehad a scanner at home and shescans books. I thought she waskidding so I asked if besidesbooks, she scanned walls, re-frigerators, the dog, her babybrother, etc. Her teacher, whowas standing nearby, backedher story up. She explained,during free time the childrenoften pretend they are librari-ans. They have a grocery storeplay-set (battery operated forbells, whistles and lights) thatincludes a scanner. They scaneach others books and pretendthey are on the bookmobile.

We had to see this, so wewent into the school and tookpictures of them pretending tobe us.

What do you want to bewhen you grow up? “A BOOK-MOBILE LADY” Greatchoice!

Property Transfers

In My Opinion

Please don’ttake my hour

This past weekend I lost something very valuable to me. Iguess you could say I lost it, but actually it was snatchedaway in the middle of the night and there wasn’t anything Icould do about it. What I lost was something we all lost; itwas one hour. That magical time in the early spring when ona very early Sunday morning at 2 a.m., like a hidden thief,the clock springs forward onehour and it becomes 3 a.m.

I know it’s just an hour andI know we get it back in thefall, but there is somethingabout losing it that I don’tlike. Maybe it’s the idea ofgetting less sleep on that par-ticular Saturday night. I’vetried going to bed an hour earlier to help make up for thehour I will have taken from me, but it doesn’t seem to work.Or maybe it’s the idea of getting used to the morning whenthe sun rises earlier or is it later?

And, in the evening when the sun sets later, or is it earlier?You see, it’s confusing. Why do I have to wait for sevenmonths to get my hour back?

Before moving back to the area, I lived in southern Indi-ana. I lived just north of Evansville and the local newspaper Iworked for at the time was in one time zone and the highschool and its sports teams I covered were in a different timezone. When we moved our clocks forward or back, we alldid, and so everyone had to deal with the hour difference. Itwas only an hour difference, but a big difference it was.

If I went to a cover the high school football game and thekick-off was at 7 p.m., then it would be 8 p.m. my time andthe game ended at 10:30. Following a couple of interviewsand it would be midnight when I got home. There were timeswhen the two opposing teams lived in opposite time zonesand they would split the difference and play at 7:30.

To say the least, it kept you guessing. There were times Ithought I knew when the game would kick off only to findout after I parked in the school lot there was eight minutesremaining in the first quarter. It’s amazing how time, even aslittle as an hour, can be so important.

Thankfully, I do not have the time zone issue here inPaulding County or within the Ohio, Indiana, Michigan statelines. We still lose that hour whether we are a Buckeye,Hoosier, or Michigander and I don’t want to give it up. But,there isn’t much we can do about it.

Oh, every year you hear the politicians talking about achange, but obviously it hasn’t happened. They just keep tak-ing our hour away in the spring. So, I guess it’s up to me tocome up with a change that will benefit me. I’m not surewhat it is, but maybe I will think of something by Nov. 9when we fall back and experience 25 hours in the day.

Therefore, this is my simple opinion. Those who thinkthey need to mess with the clock and with the time shouldjust leave it alone. There’s something about 24 hours in a daythat sounds right. Not 23 hours! Not 25 hours!

CORNBREAD & BEANSOUP SUPPER

Ohio a great example of

agriculture’s importanceAnyone who watched this year’s Super

Bowl probably saw the inspirational commer-cial with the late, great Paul Harvey explain-ing all the reasons why “Godmade a farmer.” Even if youdidn’t watch the game, youhave likely since seen the ad.

As Ohio’s number-one in-dustry, there is no disputingthe vitally important role thatagriculture has in our state. Asof last year, there were nearly75,000 farms in Ohio. Nearly90 percent of these farms areowned by families or individ-uals. So while agriculture is amajor driver of our economy,it is also an industry thatunites families and friends and reminds us ofour history.

March 10-16 is Ohio Agriculture Week, atime when we recognize the agricultural in-dustry, which employs one in seven Ohioans.I think this is an appropriate time to pay tributeto farmers because, in just a couple weeks, wewill see many of them in the fields and prepar-ing for the planting season.

After being elected to the Ohio House ofRepresentatives, I was sincerely honored to beappointed to the House Agriculture and Natu-ral Resources Committee. Agriculture is vitalto the economy in Northwest Ohio, and it ismy privilege to serve on behalf of so manyhardworking people in the 82nd District.

The men and women working alongside meon this committee are also committed to sup-porting farmers and other ag-related workers.

Before each planting season,many farmers seek to financetheir operating costs by takingout loans. During the previousGeneral Assembly, the Houseintroduced a bill that reducedthe interest rates for farmerson loans or credit lines ap-proved by banks and otherlenders.

The bill – which updatedwhat is known as the Ag-LINK Deposit Program – in-creased the maximum loanamount that a farmer could

withdraw from $100,000 to $150,000. Addi-tionally, it increased from $125 million to$165 million the amount of money that theState Treasurer can invest in lending institu-tions that lend money to farmers. This actionmade it easier for agriculture-related industriesto increase investment in their businesses.

As we inch closer to spring, I anticipate otherbills to be taken up before the committee and theHouse that will impact farming and other indus-tries that strengthen Ohio’s economy.

Rep. Burkley may be reached by calling(614) 466-8114, e-mailing Rep82@ohio-house.gov or writing to State RepresentativeTony Burkley, 77 South High Street, Colum-bus, Ohio 43215.

A Penny For Your Thoughts....

By: Nancy Whitaker

IN CASE OF EMERGENCYMost of us here at the office

are organized; at least we thinkwe are. When it comes to ourdesks and work stations, it ispretty much up to each of us asto what we want on and in ourdesks.

Of course there are the neces-sities we have such as paperclips, rulers, tape, scissors andrubber bands. Personally, I likekeeping those items out on mydesk, so I can have quicker ac-cess to them.

Of course, there is the phone,computer, and file folders onmy desk which are items I useevery day. I also see businesscards, pens, pencils and a sta-pler. So far so good.

However, sometimes just theitems necessary to do our jobsmay not include everythingneeded throughout the day.

I am thinking of specialemergency supplies. I havebeen known to either lose a but-ton or rip my britches and needa needle and thread.

Now, I am not a seamstress,so a needle and thread is the lastthing you would find on mydesk or even in my purse. How-ever, I know one of us happensto have sewing equipment intheir purse and can come to therescue. Whew!

I am thinking of the old TVshow, “Lets Make a Deal.” Re-member how they would askpeople in the audience if theyhad a boiled egg in their purse?Nobody here has an egg in theirpurse, but each one of us haveour own “emergency” things.

One of my basic emergencysupplies is chocolate. If I feel adrop in my energy level, I startlooking for chocolate. Trust me,if I don’t have any, someonewill. It has been said that choco-late can help people, especiallywomen feel better emotionallyand give us that much neededlift in the middle of the day.

So chocolate in one form oranother is one of my guiltyemergency supplies. It may justbe a cup of hot chocolate, but itis definitely a part of my inven-tory. Shhhh. Don’t tell.

Another item which came inhandy for two coworkers was alittle flashlight key chain. It wasa memento that said “PauldingProgress” on it and was some-thing we were going to giveaway as a keepsake. In fact, wehad just got them in.

During last summer’s severestorm the gals were still here atthe office when the stormstruck. Trees were gettingblown down and the powerwent off. It was pitch black in-side.

One gal used her cell phonefor a light to get down the hall-

way to find the little flashlighton one of their desks. Normally,there is not flashlights in our in-ventory, but thankfully that daywe had them.

Kleenex is another supplythat I never have. They are notsomething I use every day day,but when I have a cold, I havebeen known to grab a coupleout of my co-worker’s emer-gency supply.

Some days you will hear thecall out, “Does anyone herehave a Tylenol?”

We all scramble around andcheck. One will say, “Nope, Ijust have aspirin.” Another willsay, “Wait a minute. I do havesome. How many do youneed?”

Sometimes, if we don’t havetime or it is too nasty to go outfor lunch, we will eat here. Thatis where the extra straws, plasticwear, napkins and salt and pep-per always comes in handy. So

it is not unusual for one of us tosave things like that just in case.

One item I do have here onmy desk is a little sample bottleof Crown Royal. It was given tome by a friend at a conferenceabout five years ago. It remainsunopened, but maybe the day Iretire, I will break the seal on itand we can all have an “emer-gency” whiff.

We spend a lot of time at ourworkstations and our jobs.However, it is very comfortingto know that, “We are ready andprepared for anything.”

I mean we have chocolate, aflashlight, needle and thread,Tylenol and a sample bottle ofCrown Royal. Who could askfor anything more?

Do you ever stash items inyour purse or desk? Do youhave chocolate around to makeyou fell better? Let me knowand I’ll give you a Penny forYour Thoughts.

By Jim LopshireOSU Extension educatorAmerican consumers have

become more health con-scious about the food theyeat. To meet consumer needsand concerns, livestock qual-ity assurance programs arebeing implemented. Theseprograms are designed to ed-ucate producers in manage-ment and productiontechniques that improve foodquality and safety, encouragehigh industry standards andboost consumer confidence.

The youth quality assur-ance program introducesyouths to the responsibilitiesassociated with food animalproduction and teaches skillsnecessary to produce a safeand wholesome food. Interac-tive lessons on animal man-agement techniques andpractice in ethical decision-making related to food animalproduction are included.

Program results indicateparticipants gain skills in an-imal management techniquesand the youths’ opinionsabout consumer expectationshave been positively influ-enced.

Furthermore, the programprovides a successful model

for including character educa-tion with subject matter edu-cation.

When young producersbegin a project where thefinal product is food, theyalso assume a legal and moralobligation to produce a qual-ity, wholesome and safe prod-uct for consumers. It iscritical that young producersare consciously aware ofthese responsibilities and un-derstand their implications.Only with such an under-standing will they adopt prac-tices and procedures thatallow them to fulfill their ob-ligations to consumers.

Because of a desire to in-still this understanding inyouths, quality assurance ed-ucation has become a majorfocus for our fair livestock

exhibitors. As youths learn toimplement quality assurancepractices, they will developan awareness and skills thatwill affect their current proj-ects. In addition, they will de-velop an appreciation forfood safety and responsibilitythat will form the foundationfor their future contributionsas producers and consumers.

To educate our youths onthe importance, value andpromotion of a wholesomefood product, two PauldingCounty Quality Assuranceprograms have been sched-uled. The first program isscheduled for Thursdayevening, March 21, from 6-8p.m. and a second programwill be held on Saturdaymorning, March 23 from 9-11a.m. Both programs will beheld in the OSU Extensionbuilding.

Youths and their parent orguardian must attend a Qual-ity Assurance program beforethey can exhibit their animalin a junior livestock showsponsored by the county agri-cultural society.

Remember, we are produc-ing a product that demandsquality and is safe for con-sumption.

QUESTION: I lost my armin a heavy equipment acci-dent recently. I’m not deal-ing well with it, and I’mconcerned about the majoradjustments this means notonly for me, but also for myfamily.JIM: We’re so sorry to learnof your injury. You’re right:This will mean adjustmentsfor you and your family. Butthat doesn’t mean you can’tlive life to the fullest.

Our counseling team rec-ommends six things you cando as you learn to live withyour “new normal”:

• Educate yourself aboutyour condition.

• Recognize your limits andlearn to say “no.”

• Accept help from others.• Build fun into your life.• Focus your physical and

emotional resources on thosethings that matter most.

• Share your gifts and tal-ents with others.

In addition, marriage andfamily therapist Deborah B.Dunn recommends that mar-ried couples facing an injuryof this nature find a thirdparty outside of the familywho is supportive and en-couraging and who can helpthem process the event.

She also recommendsbeing honest with childrenabout the realities of the in-jury. There’s no need to begraphic, but don’t try to sug-arcoat what has happened.

There are several organiza-tions that can offer you addi-tional encouragement andresources. These include RestMinistries, Joni and Friends,and Endurance With Jan andDave Dravecky.

In addition, if you think itwould be helpful, feel free tocontact Focus on the Familyfor a free consultation withone of our licensed coun-selors and a referral to a

counselor in your area. Godbless you and your family!QUESTION: My husbandworks hard and I appreci-ate that, but he doesn’t helpout at home. I’m physicallyand emotionally exhaustedand the situation feels un-fair (to me and to the chil-dren). How can I get him tounderstand the importanceof helping me and of spend-ing time with the kids?

Dr. Greg Smalley, execu-tive director of Marriageand Family Formation: Inmy years of marriage coun-seling, I’ve discovered thatemotional word pictures canbe powerful tools for gettingyour message across.

An emotional word pictureinvolves using either an ob-ject or a story to express yourfeelings. This simultaneouslyactivates a person’s emotionsand intellect; it’s a fancyname for an analogy or para-ble. The key to crafting a po-tent word picture isidentifying things your hus-band is interested in.

It sounds like you want tocommunicate several thingsto him; (1) the importance ofhelping you with housework,(2) the importance of spend-ing time with the kids, (3) thatyou feel the situation is “un-fair” and (4) that you feel“exhausted.”

For the sake of illustration,let’s assume that the mostpressing issue is the need forhim to understand the impor-tance of helping around thehouse. And again, for illustra-tion, let’s say he’s interestedin fighter planes.

You could say somethinglike this, “Managing thehousework makes me feellike I’m a fighter pilot whosejet has been riddled with bul-lets and can barely fly. But towin the war, we really needmy jet flying at full strength.

“When you help me withthe kids and the housework, Ifeel like you’re a dedicatedground crew, working over-time to bring me back to fullstrength and getting me readyto soar into battle again. Itmakes me feel like we’re ateam and that you value meenough to help me recoverfrom battle. I need my excel-lent ground crew because Ican’t fight without you.”

Of course, your illustrationmay be different dependingon your husband’s interests. Itmay seem far-fetched, butI’ve seen it work time andagain. Emotional word pic-tures can help get your mes-sage across!

‘Winning the Battle for a Generation’By Rick Jones

exec. director, DefianceArea Youth for Christ

After life here, are you ready for life hereafter?Frank Pastore was a major-league baseballpitcher for the Cincinnati Reds, Minnesota Twinsand Texas Rangers. After an injury to his elbowended his pro career, he devoted his life topreaching and Christian apologetics.

He was the host of a very popular Christiantalk show in Los Angeles. On Nov. 12, 2012, hewas involved in a serious motorcycle accidentand passed away on Dec. 7.

A few hours before he was in the accident, hesaid this on his radio show, “Isn’t it interestingthat secular science is addressing the question,‘Does man have a soul? Is there such a thing asimmaterial reality?’ And, it’s couched in the cat-egory of ‘is there life after death?’

“I mean, look, you guys know I ride a motor-cycle, don’t you? So, at any moment, especiallywith the idiot people who cross the diamond laneinto my lane, alright, without any blinkers, notthat I’m angry about it, but at any minute I could

be spread out all over the 210 (freeway), butthat’s not me, that’s my body parts.

“That key distinction undergirds the entireJudeo-Christian worldview and also your pursuitof reality.”

The scriptures are filled with warnings; thatlife is eternal, that the soul that sins, it shall die,that we shall give an account of every idle word,that the way we lived our life on earth will becross-examined in our presence by our maker inthe afterlife.

In other words, after life, there is afterlife; afterour physical death, there is eternity; our souls arein the hands of God Almighty.

Such a sober reminder ought to give us all fur-ther reflection on our preparation for such a dayof reckoning. The writer of Hebrews put it thisway, Hebrews 9:27 (KJV), “And as it is appointedunto men once to die, but after this the judgment.”

Genealogical society learns moreabout Black Swamp pioneers

If you missed the February meeting of thePaulding County Chapter of the Ohio Ge-nealogical Society, it was quite interesting.

The introduction began with a DVD of “TheStory of the Great Black Swamp.” Viewerslearned that Paulding County is completelywithin the Black Swamp region, providing thisarea with the richest and most productive farmland in the country.

The narrator told of the terrible conditionsfacing our ancestors while homesteading theswamplands. These pioneers cleared paths andbuilt roads of logs, planks or used anythingthey hoped wouldn’t be swallowed up by themud lurking just below the surface. Settlerssoon learned all their efforts returned back intoswampland, thus the need to rebuild again.Most roads became impassible in less than ayear. Horseflies, mosquitoes and snakes wereonly a few obstacles to overcome in such atro-cious conditions.

For anyone who hasn’t seen this documen-tary movie, it is available at local libraries.

The county libraries also offer a DVD titled“1978 Blizzard.” Many people still shutter justbeing reminded of that January.

PCCOGS’s goal is to recognize early pio-neer ancestors who might have cleared thewell-forested land, who may have built their

first homes and who could have raised theirfamilies in Paulding County by 1913 or ear-lier.

Join the public meetings, held the secondWednesday of each month through May at6:30 p.m. at the Paulding County Libraryground level meeting room. They will beginagain in August through November.

Here are the last 19 names of the 2012“Charter Century Families” beginning withnumber 51 on the list: Phyllis Porter, Robert Tay-lor, Diana Allensworth, Joan Pier, Amy Ross-wurm, Constance Dobbelaere, Patricia Spitnale,Scott Spitnale, Julie Mast, Rachel Ousley, RogerTaylor, Diana Coy, Matthew Coy, Jonathan Coy,Martin Coy, James Mansfield, Brian Mansfield,Steven Mansfield and Robert Bryan. This com-pletes the 69 members.

If your ancestors were living in PauldingCounty by Dec. 31, 1913, ask for an applicationto be included as a 2013 Century Family mem-ber. Or, for those ancestors living here by Dec.31, 1880, as a First Families member. These pi-oneers do not need to be born in Ohio, but ap-plicants must show proof of being a PauldingCounty resident.

By JOE SHOUSESportswriter

While many students playseveral sports during theirhigh school days, seniorKaleigh Young, who attendsWayne Trace, is a one-sportathlete. With the winter sportsseason at an end, it’s time tomove outside and begin thespring sports. For Young, itsoftball – it’s all about soft-ball, and she is ready and ex-cited about the upcomingseason.

The daughter of Brian andBeth Young, Kaleigh, alongwith her twin brother, Dale,and older sister, Courtney,live in Payne. Kaleigh carriesa 3.75 GPA and is a memberof the National Honor Societyand student council. Outsideof school, she serves hercommunity as a committeemember for the annual “Play-ing for those who can’t” fundraiser. The polite, easy goingstudent athlete is the classpresident and spoke with sin-cerity and confidence whileexpressing herself with fewwords.

Softball has been a part ofKaleigh’s life since the earlyT-ball days as a youngster.She has progressed throughthe ranks and is now ready tostart her senior year as a start-ing pitcher for first-year headcoach Jack Brumle and theLady Raiders.

Being a pitcher has alwaysbeen Kaleigh’s position onthe field after attending aclinic as a preteen.

“I really enjoy playing soft-ball and I went to a pitchingclinic when I was 10 yearsold and that was the begin-ning of my career as apitcher,” she said.

As a freshman, Kaleighwas a member of the varsitysoftball team and received ex-perience as a team member,although her time on the fieldwas limited.

“We had an all-state pitcherin Marcie McDougal andbeing only a freshman, I didget to pitch some, but I alsoplayed second base. It wasgood to have someone likeMarcie who was older and Icould look up to and learnfrom.”

Playing time increased hersophomore season, closing

out at 7-5 with an ERA of2.25.

“I pitched a majority of theinnings and received the mostimproved player award,” re-marked Kaleigh.

Last year, as a junior, theright-hander continued toserve as the Lady Raiders’starting pitcher while lower-ing her ERA to 2.16 and hit-ting at a .264 clip. TheRaiders finished the season at10-15 overall with Youngwinning six and droppingseven while picking up onesave.

Playing just one sport givesKaleigh the opportunity tostay sharp year round in thesport she enjoys. The teamhas been practicing since Feb.25 in preparation for the up-coming spring season. ForKaleigh, she has been work-ing out with a pitching coachsince the conclusion of herfreshman year.

“I work with a pitchingcoach in Garrett, Ind., twotimes a week from Octoberthrough February, and thenonce a week throughout thesummer.”

Having a coach to workwith has taught Kaleigh thenecessary fundamentals anddifferent types of pitcheswhile admitting that her curveball is her best throw.

Looking ahead to her finalseason in a Lady Raider uni-form, Kaleigh feels the teamwill be decent.

“We only lost one playerand we have three other goodpitchers. We will still be a lit-tle young, but we will beworking hard for a GreenMeadows Conference title, awinning record, and a deeprun in the tournament,” saidthe confident Lady Raider.

Looking back on her timeat Wayne Trace, Kaleigh whois a person of few words, sim-ply said, “It’s been good – bit-tersweet – I will miss myfriends.”

Her quietness may comefrom the fact that her parentsare described the same wayaccording to their seniordaughter. “They never missattending a softball game, butfor the most part, they don’tyell much. They are prettymuch quiet, but will occa-sionally yell words of encour-

agement.”When describing what soft-

ball has taught her, Kaleighmeasured her words and said,“It has taught me good lead-ership skills and I just enjoyplaying the game.” The lead-ership skills she has devel-oped on the playing field andthe time and work she putinto the class room will cer-tainly help prepare her for thefuture.

After graduation, Kaleighplans to attend Indiana Techin Fort Wayne where she willmajor in accounting.

“I know that’s where I amgoing to school and I haven’truled out the possibility ofplaying softball,” she said.Kaleigh hopes to pursue a ca-reer as a CPA. “I like mathand I like to do my ownthing.”

When she becomes a CPAand is helping others withmaking sound financial deci-sions I am sure that even withfew words they will listen.Just like on the field when theopposing team experiencesfew words but a nasty curveball.

Antwerp High School students will present the classic musical “Oklahoma” this weekend.

Antwerp presents ‘Oklahoma’ANTWERP – Antwerp High School will

present the musical “Oklahoma” at 7 p.m. onFriday and Saturday, March 15-16 in theschool auditeria.

Tickets can be purchased in the high schooloffice or at the door prior to each performance.

“Oklahoma” is set in the Indian Territoryjust after the turn of the century when cow-boys and farmers were competing over fencesand water rights. Two more rivalries emergein the middle of that controversy. Curly, acowboy, and Jud, a hired hand, are both inlove with Laurey. The second involves AdoAnnie, Will and Ali Hakim, a trio that will pro-vide plenty of laughs.

Aunt Eller and her niece, Laurey, own afarm in Oklahoma. Curly and Laurey have asecret love for each other, but they are toofrightened to admit their feelings for eachother. Curly asks Laurey to the box social atthe Skidmore Ranch that evening.

Meanwhile, Will Parker has just returnedfrom Kansas City and tells the locals about hisexperience there. Will is passionately in lovewith Ado Annie. Ado Annie can’t decide if sheloves Will or a sweet-talking traveling sales-man, Ali Hakim.

Curly is devastated to discover that Laureyhas asked Jud Fry, her menacing field hand, totake her to the box social due to an argumentLaurey had with Curly. After her impetuousdecision, Laurey is afraid to be alone with Jud,and she wishes she had not asked him.

The music and lyrics of Oklahoma – byRichard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II –are some of the best in musical theater with

songs that include “Oh What a BeautifulMorning,” “The Surrey with the Fringe onTop,” “People Will Say We’re in Love,” “ICan’t Say No,” “Oklahoma!” and many more,making this a musical treat for the entire fam-ily.

The cast, in order of appearance, includesCurly – Ed Reinhart, Laurey – Kirsi Smith,Aunt Eller – Lydia Schneider, Ali Hakim –Nathan Hawley, Ado Annie Carnes – Saman-tha Provines, Will Parker – Aaron Schneider,Jud Fry – Ryan Girardot, Andrea Carnes –Lydia Carr, Cord Elam – Erik Miesle, IkeSkidmore – Nathan Lee, Slim – ArronRomero, Gertie Cummings – Beth Hawley,Fred – Justice Clark, Joe – Brandon Laney,Kate – Tiffany Romero, Mike – Brian Geyer,Tom – John Huss, Virginia – Dani Daugherty,Sylvie – Destinee Schlegel, Armina – KirstenPrice, Aggie – Maggie Reinhart, Rebecca –Rachel Becker, Lydia – Katie Hunt.

Archers’ run ends at district semifinalsBy JOE SHOUSE

SportswriterNAPOLEON – A 9-0 run

that started with 53 secondsremaining in the second quar-ter and continued into thethird was all Fayette neededin establishing control in theirgame with Antwerp to opendistrict play last Tuesday,March 5. Trailing by as manyas seven in the opening eightminutes of play the Eaglesturned things around in thesecond half to post a 25-20win.

In the low-scoring affairthat saw both teams eachscore a single basket in thefirst quarter, it was theArchers who got the upperhand in the second stanza.Braeden Hormann connectedon a 3-point goal with 5:30remaining while NoahGanger challenged the de-fense for a 2-point goal on adrive to the hoop to give theArchers a 9-2 advantage.

Following a Fayette time-out with 2:10 showing on theclock, it was the Eagles whoresponded in quick fashion.Chandler Sanford drilled atrey with 53 seconds remain-ing and Cole Burkholder fol-lowed with a basket to trimthe Archer lead to just two at9-7. Both teams went to thelocker room with the momen-tum shifted to the Eagles.

“We got off to a really goodstart,” said Antwerp headcoach Scott McMichael. “Butwhen we missed a couple ofshots gave up those fivepoints we gave Fayette somelife and they took advantage.”

Antwerp opened the thirdquarter with two turnovers ontheir first two possessionswhile Fayette’s Logan Franksand Cole Burkholder scored afield goal each to take their

first lead at 11-9.“We played solid defense

with our zone, but once theycaught up and took the leadwe had to come out of ourzone and then we gave up acouple of quick lay-ups,” saidMcMichael.

The Archers’ points in thequarter came from sopho-more Trenton Copsey, whoscored from close range alongwith two free throws. Withthe game tied at 13 each, San-ford connected from longrange at the 1:17 mark to putthe Eagles on top for good,16-13, heading into the finalperiod.

McMichael commented,“We had some good looks inthe second half, but we justdidn’t shoot the ball well atall.”

After Burkholder andGanger traded baskets it wasagain Burkholder who scoredwith 2:10 remaining and theEagles with a five-point ad-vantage. Two Ganger freethrows got the Archers towithin three at 20-17 but theArchers would get no closer.Fayette scored the next fivepoints from the free throwline to build a 25-17 margin.Smalley finished the Antwerpscoring on a 3-pointer as timeexpired.

“Obviously we would haveliked to have continued toplay some more basketball,but looking back we had agood year. We fought injuriesall year long, but we stayed

together and put together alittle win streak at the end. Iwas proud of how this teamresponded,” the coach con-cluded.

Antwerp, which finishedthe league at 3-4, ended itsseason at 15-10 overall.

Poppies, potatoes and peasIn that order, plant them. Po-

tatoes on Good Friday, peas assoon as you can work the soil,but what’s with the poppies,you ask. They’re a summerflower, right? Right. But if youdon’t sow the seeds now, youmight get a scant crop ofbloomers.

There are perennial poppies– Papaver orientale – the big,blowzy flowers you see some-times along the ditch banks inMay. These you usually buy asplants at the nursery, sittingthem carefully in your gardenbecause they hate to be moved,and they come back every year.

Another perennial poppy wecan grow here are the Icelandicpoppies (Papaver nudicaule).These are sweet little thingslooking like the darling off-spring of their Oriental cousinsand come in orange, white,salmon, pink and yellow. Asperennials, these are short-lived, most times only lastingfor a couple of years in the gar-den, so allow them to self-seedif you want them year to year.

Then there are the annualones, grown from seed – Pa-paver rhoeas or corn poppy –which I’m advising you to

white, peach, mauve and thedeliciously rare strains that area pearly gray. Some of themare bicolored. Shirley poppiesare a selected strain of the pas-tel shades, but once in a while,you’ll get a rogue red one.

Other annual poppies arecalled breadseed poppies (Pa-paver somniferum) and theirseeds are the ones you eat inthings like lemon poppy seedmuffins and poppy seed saladdressing. These are stunning intheir bold colors of orange, red,purple, pink, with an especiallylovely bicolored one called‘Danish Flag’.

Yes, P. somniferum areopium poppies, and there arelaws against growing them inthe US, due to the potential forextracting opium from them.However, seed sales are legaland they are commonly foundon the seed racks and for saleby countless seed sources. Theopium and morphine containedin their seeds practically disap-pears within 10 days after thebloom opens and before seedsare harvested.

As long as you’re onlygrowing a small number as or-namentals and not an acre of

plant now. Be quick about it,because poppies require a pe-riod of cold (called stratifica-tion) in order to germinate. Youcould have sprinkled the seedin the garden in January for thatmatter. If you grew them lastyear and let them go to seed,you’re all set, because they’reprolific self-seeders.

Some annual poppies in thisspecies are called Shirley pop-pies, so named for the villagein England where they werefirst discovered in the late1800s. The blooms don’t getquite as large as the Orientalpoppy blooms, but they haveall that crepe-papery goodnessin colors such as orange, pink,

them, it’s not likely to cause aproblem. (No recreation of thatmemorable scene in “The Wiz-ard of Oz” allowed.) I’ll do theresponsible thing here and ad-vise you to grow them at yourown risk.

Poppy seeds need light togerminate, so to plant them, justsprinkle over soil that’s beenlightly tilled (or not tilled at all).They do better in poor soil, sodon’t overly amend the areawith compost or other nutrientswhere you want to plant them.

Like all poppies, they de-mand good drainage. It’s best tosprinkle seeds liberally, evenplanting three to four times asmany as you think you’ll need,because like us, the birds thinkthey’re tasty, too.

These poppies can be found growing along a ditch bank insouthern Paulding County in May.
