    Sportswriter  BOWLING GREEN – Allseason long, Wayne Trace’s pressure defense has been thecatalyst to Raider victories.  However, on Friday night, itwas a triangle and two defensethat lifted the Raiders to the Di-vision IV Final Four in Colum- bus next week with a 65-56 winover Delphos St. John’s in theregional championship at

    Bowling Green StateUniversity.  The BlueJays’ AlexOdenwellerscored 20rst half p o i n t s ,i n c l u d -ing hittingall sevenshots fromthe eld, tokeep DelphosSt. John’s close asWayne Trace led 36-32 atthe intermission.  However, the Raidersswitched to a triangle and two

    defense that bottled up Oden-weller in the second half andthe Raiders pulled away late toclinch the school’s fth berthin the state tournament and rstsince 2008.  Wayne Trace (25-1) will playon Thursday morning at 10:45a.m. against Canal WinchesterHarvest Prep (24-4).  “We weren’t going to let twokids beat us,” commented Raid-er head coach Jim Linder of theswitch in defenses. “It is some-

    thing we have played at timesthis year but really haven’t beenvery good at it. Tonight, we dida pretty good job at it.”  Junior guard Luke Millerwas the catalyst, limiting Oden-weller to four shots in the sec-ond half.  “Every time I would come offof a screen, he was right there,maybe an inch of space,” notedOdenweller.  “It came down to effort,”

    Miller noted of his defen-

    sive prowess. “I justknew I had to

    stay with himand we justhad to nd away to getit done. Hehit someshots inthe rsthalf and we

    needed tolimit those op-

     portunities in thesecond half.”

      The Blue Jays werelimited to 9 of 29 shooting inthe second half (31 percent) af-ter hitting 10 of 20 shots in the

    rst half, including Odenwellermissing all four of his secondhalf attempts.  Despite the defensive effort,Delphos St. John’s made a runlate in the third quarter.  Trailing 42-36, the Blue Jaysheld Wayne Trace scorelessve straight possessions beforeeventually tying the game at43-43 on a 3-pointer by AndyGrothouse.

    Crash claims Convoy man

     Teachers, parents

    share concernsover calamity

    days, PARCC testsBy SAMANTHA HABERN

    Correspondent  PAULDING – Making up lost days, frustration with PARCCtesting, additional discussion about eighth grade graduation andcontinued controversy surrounding a former teacher (see related story) were among the topics before the Paulding Exempted Vil-lage School Board in its regular meeting on Monday, March 23.  Several teachers and parents appeared before the board to dis-cuss calamity days and PARCC tests.

      With the calamity days, many are confused as to why the schoolis making up so many hours when it is clearly past the minimumset by the state. As one teacher pointed out, the minimum numberof hours set by the state that a school has to go is 5.5 while Pauld -ing Schools goes 6.5.  Many teachers even feel under-appreciated as all the hours they put in outside of class go unnoticed and their two-hour delays donot count.  Many opposed the new resolution that would allow superin-tendent William Hanak to determine make-up time for the school

    one of two free throws, a BlueJay turnover led to a steal and basket by Miller that gave theRaiders a 46-43 advantage.  “We had an opportunitythere to take the lead but didn’ttake advantage,” Blue Jay headcoach Aaron Elwer commented.  The Blue Jays did get a freethrow from Timothy Kreeger toget within 46-44 at the end ofthree quarters but the Raidersopened it up early in the fourth.  Baskets by Corbin Linder andSinn quickly widened the lead to50-44 before a bucket by Grot-house got Delphos St. John’swithin 50-46.

    calendar.  Parents chimed in that they areactually fearing that make-dayscould go into county fair days,which a lot of students competein.  However, despite efforts andcomplaints, the resolution unan-

    imously passed.For the PARCC test that stu-

    dents are required to take, teacherand PEA president Gary Gil- bert spoke out against it, sayingthat staff and students are both“burnt out” due to all the prepa-ration that go into the test that theteacher can’t even see the resultsof. He also pointed out how therewas no peer reviewed studies toshow any kind of value of thetest.  Another teacher, MelissaHarder, added that she and sev-eral students feel “bullied” to the

     point where a student even triedto write to the state about it. Aftershe got no response, Mrs. Harder,not wanting the student to get dis-couraged, talked to a representa-tive, leading the representative tocome in and talk to the students.  After some discussion and

    looking at another school’s reso-lution on it, the board is workingwith the teacher to draft out theirown resolution on the PARCCTest and plan to have it ready bythe next meeting.  After a recent outcry from parents, school ofcials agreedto retain eighth grade graduationceremonies. However, on Mon-day, eighth grade class presidentLexie Beckman, spoke to the board about getting rid of eighthgrade graduation, saying manystudents felt it was “outdated”and prefer the eld day they were

    going to get instead.  She believes that “Everyoneelse had a say” but “they [the stu-dents] never did.”  A teacher, Pam Moore, alsoencouraged the board to rethinkeighth grade gradation.  The board stated that they will

    not cancel it due to timing, butthat the graduation is to moveto the morning and they arecurrently working with middleschool principal Chris Etzler on possibly having a cook-out/eldday in the afternoon.  Darla Smith, a parent, ap- proached the board about havingPat Stevenson, a retiring teacher, present her son with his diploma.Smith stated that Stevenson had“done so much for” him, work-ing with him since the rst grade.  “Because of her, he is wherehe is now” she said, even point-

    ing out that her son has been ac-cepted into Deance College.  After talking to other highschool principals around the area,they decided they could not haveStevenson present the diplomadue to problems that could ariseif many other parents were to

    want the something similar.However, with an idea from highschool principal Todd Harmon,it was decided that Stevensoncould shake his hand as he wentup, with picture being arrangedas well.  Geography Bee winner ShanaManz and run Ac ad em icHall of Fame Class of 2015nominees are Dr. Larry Tope,Dr. Lonnie Tope, Heath Hawkand Major Jerrod Hawk.  The next meeting will be at 7 p.m. April 21 at Oakwood Ele-mentary.

    The Toyota overturned severaltimes prior to coming to rest inthe eld.  Cano was transported byEMS to Parkview North Re-gional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead by hospitalmedical personnel.  The vehicle sustained heavydisabling damage and wastowed from the scene by R&Owrecker.  Alcohol was not a factor in thecrash and Cano was wearing hisseat belt. The crash remains un-der investigation.  Troopers were assisted onscene by Paulding County Sher-iff’s Ofce, Payne Fire and EMSand R&O Towing.

     Vance, PEVS board square

    off again over memorialsBy JOE SHOUSE

    Progress Staff Writer  PAULDING - With a standingroom only crowd of concernedcitizens and onlookers, the Pauld-ing Exempted Village school board again faced a familiar faceand a situation that continues

    to create controversy as well asmany unanswered questions.  Barry Vance, a Paulding res-ident his entire life, approachedthe board again as he did oneyear ago concerning the han-dling of the $280,000 estate thatwas originated by former teacherDon Schnepp. Following thedeath of Schnepp, the funds were passed on to his sister, Bev Say-lor, and upon her death the fundswere presented to the Pauld-ing Schools, at the request ofSchnepp prior to his death. Spe-cically, the estate funds were to be used within the middle schoolin memory of Schnepp.  Vance alleges that Schnepp

    sexually violated him as a youngstudent within the school prop-erty and has brought the allega-tions to the school board on morethan one occasion. At a boardmeeting last spring, a second vic-tim came before the board claim-ing that Schnepp also sexuallyabused him. David Kincaid toldthe board that like Vance, he toowas abused by Schnepp.  Vance believes there are otherswho are victims but are afraid tocome forward. Vance has beenin contact recently with one whoresides in Michigan who is stilldealing with the idea of comingforward and sharing his story.  During the board meetingon Monday evening, nearly 45

    minutes was given to Vance toagain bring forth his displeasureover the handling of the estategift. Many questions were asked by Vance but little response was

    made on behalf of the board.The rst question that Vance

    wanted an answer for was aboutthe memorial rock bearing theSchnepp name that once stoodnear the entrance to the school.It is the desire of Vance as wellas Kinkade that the rock be de-

    stroyed with no opportunity toever be on display again.  “I don’t know where it is,” saidFoltz. Board vice president MarkManz echoed the same response.  Vance also was upset thatmoney from the Saylor/Schneppestate was being used for memo-rials in Schnepp’s name.

    “The electric sign on the westside of the school building issomething I see every time I lookout the window at my house.Scholarships, trophy cases and press boxes that will bear his(Schnepp’s) name. Anything thatis done with that money is a me-morial,” said Vance.  Vance told the board that he

    is not going anywhere until thatmoney is out of the school.  “I want the money removed,the sign off the school. If youwant a press box then let’s raisethe money in the community fora new press box. We have donethis before and we can do it forthis. I just want that sick man andhis money out of this school,”said Vance.  Looking the board memberseye to eye and pacing back andforth, Vance continued to grillthem on their lack of profession-alism, decision making, and thelack of communication.  “I’ve lived with this for 33years and these people didn’tneed to know this about me. But

    after all these years I had to nallytell it and I tried to tell some ofyou (board members) but it didn’tseem like you wanted to hear it orhad the time to listen to me.”

      Continuing to share his hurtand disgust, Vance said, “I wantyou to understand how a man canfeel when he has gone throughwhat I’ve gone through. But in-stead of understanding you slapme in the face by erecting memo-rials.”

      With little comment from the board president, Vance continuedto talk and share his feelings to anexpressionless group of boardmembers. In the quietness of theroom, Vance nally took a deep breath and said, “It’s time to re-move the superintendent from his position.”  He said, “It’s amazing that Ihave held this on the inside for 33years and when I nally decidedto go to the superintendent (BillHanak) and express my concern,he spent some time with me andthen stopped the meeting becausehe had another appointment. Youwould have thought that after 33years of this much agony and

     pain he would have understoodthe importance of continuing on.”  A second meeting was sched-uled between the two and againVance was not satised with theresults and the lack of profession-alism by the superintendent.  “During our second meeting,instead of looking me in the eyeduring our conversation, he was busy texting on his phone,” saidVance.  In his closing statements Vancereminded the board that there arethree others besides himself thathave admitted to him that they towere sexually abused by Schneppin 1982-83.

    “And yet, you want to formcommittees and have a plan to

    spend this money in order tohonor this man.”  In closing, Vance said, “Of-cially, I want this man gone,” ashe pointed to Hanak.

    However, the Blue Jays hadtwo more opportunities to cutinto the lead further but didn’ttake advantage, committing a pair of turnovers.  “Our guys battled and I am proud of them for the effort,” Elw-er noted. “They like to create cha-os defensively and they challengeyour shots. They took advantageof their opportunities tonight.”  An Ethan Linder 3-point-er, set up by a Miller steal andCorbin Linder assist, extendedthe Raider lead to 53-46 with5:19 left.  Delphos St. John’s cut thedecit to 53-49 after three foulshots by Grothouse but the BlueJays would get no closer.  Two Ethan Linder free throwsmade it 55-49 Raiders beforetwo St. John’s misses led toEthan Linder being fouled onthe rebound.  The sophomore guard thenhit one of two foul shots to giveWayne Trace a 56-49 advantagewith 1:21 remaining.  Following a basket by Del- phos St. John’s Tyler Conley,Jake Arend stepped up and con-

    verted one of two free throws tomake it 57-51 Raiders.  Needing to score quickly, theBlue Jays were unable to con-vert on a long-distance 3-point-er and Miller brought down theRaiders rebound. The juniorguard then stepped to the lineand hit both foul shots to giveWayne Trace a 59-51 advantagewith 42 seconds left.  “He made some big plays forus tonight,” added Raider headcoach Jim Linder of Miller. “Hewas big on the defensive endthere in the second half and hitsome big shots for us.”  From there, the Blue Jays

    missed two straight 3-point at-tempts and Wayne Trace hitthree of four free throws on theopposite end to seal the 65-56victory.  “We are excited to make thetrip,” continued Raider headcoach Jim Linder. “It was a bat-tle tonight. We knew coming inthey were very good defensivelyand we just had to play throughit. I am so proud of the guys.”  Early on, it appeared thatWayne Trace was going to takecontrol.  The Raiders scored 13 of thegame’s rst 18 points with se-nior David Sinn bucketing eight points in the stretch. Miller alsohit the opening 3-pointer of thegame for Wayne Trace.  “Coach just told me that I wasstronger than they were and totake the ball to the basket,” stat-ed Sinn. “He wanted me to bemore aggressive tonight.”  “I think he really gained con-dence there in the rst quarter,”Linder noted. “We told him thatwe wanted him to be a forcedown there and he did a great job for us.”

      However, the Blue Jays ral-lied in the second quarter. Del- phos St. John’s opened the stan-za on a 13-6 run to close within28-24 on an Odenweller basket.  “We had seen in some of theirgames where they got off to agreat start and then teams came back on them,” Elwer said. “Wetold the guys just keep doing whatwe want to do and not to panic.”  Odenweller nished the gamewith 20 points while grabbingfour rebounds and picking uptwo steals. Grothouse added18 points and dished out threeassists for Delphos St. John’s,which closes the year with a re-cord of 20-7.

      Odenweller, Grothouse,Hays, Heiing and Conley all played their nal game in a BlueJay uniform.  “This is a great group of se-niors and a tough group to saygoodbye to,” Elwer concluded.“They have done a lot for our program and we have playedthe best we have in a while sincemid-February.”  Sinn topped the Raiders with15 points and seven reboundswhile Ethan Linder added 14 points, ve rebounds and threeassists. Corbin Linder and Mill-er chipped in 12 and 11 points,respectively. Miller also record-ed seven rebounds and Corbin

    Linder dished out four assists.  “Luke, Ethan and Corbinwere managers the last time wewent in 2008,” concluded theRaider head coach. “So theyhave all gotten to experience ita little bit. This is something thisgroup has dreamed about sincethey started playing together back in third or fourth grade.”

     Appreciation for 

    honoring Hall

    of Fame teamTo The Paulding High SchoolBooster Club,  I would like to extend myappreciation to Roger Sierer,Coach Brewer and his staff,Jill Adams, and the PauldingHigh School Booster Club forhonoring the 1964-65 Bas-ketball Team with inductionin to the PHS Athletic Hallof Fame. The opportunity tosee former teammates and torecall the people and events

    from that time was a very re-warding experience.  Our team valued the oppor-tunity to address members ofthe current team as well as theattention paid by them andthe coaches as we spoke ofour respect for each other andthe value of team, both thenand as we lived our separatelives. We also tried to expressthe pride we felt and still feelin representing Paulding in a positive way.  I regret that Coach Follasand Coach Stiger were nolonger with us to enjoy theceremony. They each had a positive inuence on our lives

    as coaches and teachers. All

    enjoyed being able to visitwith Mrs. Follas and thankher for attending.  Good Luck to the teamand coaches now and in thefuture. Thank you all for theevent and for the memories.

     Thumbs up!Dear Editor,  Our community of Pauldingis small, but we are fortunateto have talent and people thatcare about others and are sohumble.

    It was on a Thursday when

    I contacted a friend, Jane Nice, to ask her if she stillhad copies of her book sheauthored “Married to Millie”available. Since recently re-tired I wanted to start readingmore and her book came tomind. She was so nice to de-liver the books I wanted andhad a very pleasant visit.  I started reading “Marriedto Millie” on Friday and I n-ished it on Monday at 5 a.m.You need to know there areabout 800 pages and I had oth-er things to do!  This book was one you tellyourself I will read one morechapter and then I’ll stop. I

    found this book one that was

    very hard to put down and goto bed.

    I think everyone knew orat least met Herb Monroe be-cause if you didn’t you missedout on one amazing man. Healways had a smile on his face.He not only knew your name,he knew your family, theirname and what school theywent to or where they worked.He was the most humble per-son I’ve ever known.  So this is a salute to the au-thor, Jane Nice, for writing the book and to Herb Monroe forchoosing Paulding to stay andserve our community. It wasan honor and a pleasure to sayI knew this wonderful man.  So everyone, I suggest youget your copy today. Sit andread this book and pass it onto your children. It is a storyyou won’t want to miss. Herband his story were both hum- bling and a blessing.

    The Best of ...  It’s hard to believe how the basketball season has quicklygone by. With the exception of the Wayne Trace Raiders still playing basketball in the Division IV tournament, it will soon be time to direct our attention to the outdoor spring sports. But before we move too quickly outside I want to report on my“best of” for the 2014-15 basketball season.  Last year was my initialreport on what I considered

    was the “best of” when itcame to a variety of subjectsrelated to basketball andattending games at the highschool level. I wasn’t surethat anyone really cared whatmy opinion was but when Iattended my rst game backin early December, I was approached about who I thoughtwould have the best popcorn this year. So with that challenge,I have deliberated long and hard to reveal my 2014-15 “Bestof.”  I must admit, that my main assignment is covering theAntwerp Archers and therefore I did not have opportunity tosee Paulding and Wayne Trace play as much as the blue-and-white but I was still able to nd a spot on my list for all threeschools to be represented.  Best Concession: North Central. It appeared the food itemswere prepared in the principal’s ofce. But they had a variety

    of items from nachos to pizza to taco salad. Not bad choicesfor a high school game. Also in the running is Lincolnviewwith excellent pretzels and Woodlan served ice cream sundaestasted good even on a cold winter night. During the tourna-ment, the barbecue was outstanding. It was a real bargain at$2.  Best Warm Ups: Hilltop girls were sharp. They had theirnumber on the back in large print along with their name. Onthe front was Hilltop in script. Their colors were white withorange trim and black lettering. Now then, for those schoolswearing the camouage shirts – not a good choice – get rid ofthose things.  Best Uniforms: I can’t say I saw anything that caused asecond look, but I have to admit that I saw my share of blueand white school colors. Nothing wrong with that, but whena team wore orange or black, red and white, even purple andwhite – it was a nice change.  Best Seating: With the theater-type seating available atLincolnview, I would have to rate them at the top. That was

    during the Antwerp-Lincolnview girls game. Unfortunately,those same seats were not available for the boys game.  Best Band: There may have been louder bands, but handsdown I give the nod to Antwerp. The only problem is that Iwish they had played at more games.  Best Popcorn: Here’s the deal. I basically ate 40 bags of popcorn and I should have kept better notes. Thank you to SueMeyer, from Antwerp, who offered me some of her home-made popcorn that mysteriously showed up during the Route49 Classic. And like the tournament, her popcorn was classic.  Best Announcers: That’s a tough one. There were severalthat I thought did a great job while others put me to sleep – almost. Jason Landers at Antwerp does a great job withteam introductions, announcements and song selections. SamHatcher at Paulding does an excellent job and gives the feel ofa college game with his professional, distinct voice. Anotherindividual who impressed me was Phil Snow at Liberty Cen-ter. This young man graduated from LC in 2011 and his pas-sion is his Tigers basketball team and having the opportunity

    to serve as their announcer. Snow has experience in callingBluffton College women’s games on the radio and was a greatkid to interview.  Most Enthusiastic Coach: I don’t know if you would sayhe is the most enthusiastic, but he is certainly the most in-tense. Coach Matthew Ripke from Edgerton reminds me ofthe type that if the chair isn’t bolted down he just may throw itacross the oor when the opposing team is ready to shoot freethrows. I must admit, that from a reliable source, he is nothinglike that and he a very quiet person – at least off the court.  Best Team Spirit (student section): Fort Jennings wasawesome. Their cheerleaders did an excellent job leading thestudent section and the adult fans were vocal throughout thegame.  Best game that made you feel good: Antwerp girls beatingHicksville in the Bryan sectional. The Lady Aces defeated theArchers twice during the season but not during tournamenttime. That was a good feeling!  Best Cheerleaders: Paulding, Wayne Trace and Holgate.

    Don’t ask me why, but I thought they were very good in beingleaders.  Best Restrooms: Last year, I gave Hicksville rst placefor the best gym and I still feel that way. This time I even in-spected the restrooms and when you go to the expense to havethe school’s mascot (Aces) depicted as a part of the ooring,well, that’s special.  Best Parking (convenience to gym entrance): Antwerp isthe best. I will go on and mention some of the places not sogreat. After all. at my age I have a right to complain a little.Hicksville has a nice school but parking is too far away on acold, bitter winter night. Crestview was another one that wasnot convenient at all.  Hardest Bleachers: After making the trip up to Fayetteand sitting through the junior varsity girls, varsity girls, juniorvarsity boys and then the varsity boys – count ‘em, that’s fourgames – those wooden bleachers were hard.  Best Rendition of the National Anthem: Ellen Baker,a junior at Fayette High school. She sang it before the girlsvarsity game and was amazing. She then came back and did arepeat performance prior to the boys varsity game. An excel-lent job by a good student who plans to continue her studies inmusic.  Friendliest Greeters: There was a couple standing at theentrance to the gym at Fayette. I didn’t catch their name, butI had a great conversation with them and they gave me direc-tions back home that included a short cut. So, at Fayette, the bleachers were hard but the National Anthem was top-notchand the people were friendly. Two out of three is not bad.  It was a wonderful season covering the Antwerp Archers.I am sure our other sportswriters would say the same abouttheir teams.  But for me, I cannot say enough about the Antwerp familythat has allowed me to be a small part of their athletic lives.Athletic directors Drew Altimus, Scott McMichael, headcoach TJ Hammer, head coach Kevin Taylor, head coach Jer-emy Kosch and so many others – thanks for another memora- ble season.

    Before I close, here is some good news. The 2015-16 sea-son will be here a little sooner than usual. In the past, gameswould usually tip off the rst week of December. However,this coming season the Archers will tip off on Friday, Nov.27 when they travel to Toledo and play Toledo Christian. TheEagles were seeded fourth in the Kansas district and defeatedMohawk and Arcadia before falling to No. 2 seed OttawaHills 43-36 in the district seminals.  As for the Route 49 Classic, the boys will play at Hicksvilleon Dec. 28-29 and the girls will travel to Edon on Dec. 21-22for their annual holiday tournament.   Joe Shouse is a staff writer for the Paulding County Prog-ress.  The opinions stated are those of the writer, and do not neces- sarily reect that of the newspaper.

    Respect your moss

    Kylee Baumle/Paulding County Progress

      The ladybugs have come out from their overwintering locations deep under the leaves and areexploring their world. This native pink spotted lady beetle was seen on some cushion moss at thebase of one of our large oak trees a few weeks ago.

      There are certain plants that noone wants but everyone has. Likecrabgrass and dandelions and thatfascinating groundcover, prostratespurge. I once launched a cam- paign on my blog to look at thelatter in a new way, even offering tosell my surplus for the ridiculouslylow price of fifty cents a plant.  I didn’t get any takers, in fact,I didn’t get anyone to take me se-

    riously. It seems that no one has aneed for it and some people eventried to sabotage my burgeoning business and potential fortune byoffering their extra plants for free.The nerve of some people.  But what is it that makes a plantdesirable or undesirable? Why aresome plants considered to be weedsand others not? And why can’t weagree on these at times? (One man’sweed is another man’s flower.)  Moss sometimes falls into the “Idon’t want it and how can I get rid ofit?” category, but I’m a moss lover.It might be why I enjoyed ElizabethGilbert’s latest novel, The Signatureof All Things, so much, although the plot, independent of the botanicalsetting, stood alone well enough.  Those who study mosses arecalled bryophiles, as moss is part of

    the plant division (phylum)  Bryo- phyta. There are more than 12,000species of moss, so that’s more thanenough to keep the bryophiles busy.  In recent years, moss has gained agreat deal of respect in the gardeningworld and there are businesses thatdeal strictly in the sale of differenttypes of moss for use in home gar-dens. The miniature gardeners havealways loved it for use in their tinylandscapes, but it has many practical

    uses in full-sized gardens too.  Mosses have no roots, instead

     being anchored to the ground orstone by threadlike rhizoids. Theydon’t take up nutrients or waterthrough the rhizoids as you mightthink; they absorb them throughtheir leaves. Most mosses repro-duce by flinging their spores orhaving them dispersed by the windor insects.  If you go outside right now,you’ll find that many plants are still

    dormant, with just a few greeningup, but take a close look at the baseof your trees or along the roadsidein the gravelly edges and you’llsee that moss is alive and well andthriving, as it has been doing allwinter.  All mosses are not the same.Some need shade, while others do just fine in full sun. Some grow inorganically rich soil, and some pre-fer rocky surfaces. But nearly allmosses need an area that receivesregular moisture, and if they don’tget it, they’ll go dormant.  Some mosses can remain dor-mant for a very long time. You may be familiar with the “ResurrectionFern,” which is sold as a noveltyitem this time of year. The plantlooks for all the world like it’s deadand crispy, but place it in water and

    In theGarden

    By 

    Kylee Baumle

    it comes back to life and greensright up. That one isn’t a moss, butthere are mosses that will do thesame thing.  Those of you who may havetoo much of a good thing, in whichcase you might be thinking there’s

    nothing good about it, might wantto try and look at it in a different

    light. Mosses help prevent erosionwhile also improving soil’s mois-ture and nutrient retaining capabil-ities. It makes an attractive ground-cover that requires little to no care.When is the last time you’ve had tomow moss?

      So get out there and appreciatethe free green stuff that’s right in

    your own backyard. Get downclose and look at it. Really look atit. It’s pretty amazing stuff.  Read more at Kylee’s blog, Our Little Acre, at www.ourlittleacre.com and on Facebook at www. facebook.com/OurLittleAcre.
