LIMA A decision to addadditional pavement mark-ings at all seven at-grade in-tersections along U.S. 24 inPaulding County was reachedafter the Ohio Department ofTransportation (ODOT), stateagency, federal and localgovernment entities collabo-rated in an effort to increasesafety along the route.

Officials with ODOT

District 1 consulted with fed-eral officials, the Ohio StateHighway Patrol, and both thePaulding CountyCommissioners office andthe Paulding County SheriffsDepartment in response to astring of accidents whichhave occurred this year at in-tersections with U.S. 24.

We analyzed the accidentsto see if any additional road-way improvements could bemade to increase safety. Thegroups diversity providedneeded perspective of whythe accidents occurred and

possible solutions, said Kirk

Slusher, Ohio Department ofTransportation District 1deputy director.

From the analysis, it was

determined that in somecases, motorists failed to stopin the median area of the in-tersection before proceedingacross the lanes or into traf-fic.

We felt that adding adashed edge line across themedian crossover areaswould perhaps provide mo-torists a visual reference as towhere the median areas are,

said Slusher. Better definingthese areas may provide mo-torists with greater assurancethey are squarely within asafe zone while waiting fortraffic to clear before pro-

PAULDING Three for-mer successful Paulding HighSchool athletic teams lined thetrack in front of the Pauldingfans prior to the Wayne Tracegame on Friday evening to beinducted into the local highschool athletic hall of fame.

Those teams recognized in-cluded the 1957 football team,1960 track and field squad andthe 1988 Panther footballteam.

In attendance were the threeundefeated and untied coachesin football James Crowell(1957), Steve Clark (1978,1983) and Jim Caserta (1988) along with state championtrack coach Paul Nestor(1960). The first and only timethey have been together as agroup.

From the start of Pauldingfootball in September of 1914until the great Steve Clarkcoached 1978 Panthers, the1957 Panther football teamwas the only undefeated/un-tied team.

Although the 1941 teamwas a no-loss team, they had atie game; their record was 8-0-1.

The seniors that played onthe team in the fall of 1957were 16-1 as upperclassmen,which set a record at the time.They also experienced a 16-game winning streak, datingback to the first game of the1956 season. The squad hadseven shutouts out of eightgames.

One of the strengths of the57 Panthers was a strongsophomore class, whichturned out to be the all-timerecord holders as a class forfootball. They were 29-5-1with an undefeated season andtwo seasons with only oneloss. For a five-year periodfrom the fall of 1956 throughthe fall of 1960, Paulding was36-6-1 and the most fearedfootball team in the area. Theywere Northwest BuckeyeLeague champions for fivestraight years.

Three seniors on that teamreceived all-state honors, JohnKauser, George Morones andJim Paulus.

Others who received signif-icant recognition were AllanDangler, all-state honorablemention, and Steve Diettrich,captain and all-state recogni-tion. The coach of the teamwas Richard Beltz (now de-ceased) and Jim Crowellserved as assistant coach.

Team managers includedSteve Santo, Dave Santo andJohn Allensworth.

The 1960 Paulding trackand field team dominated theNorthwest Buckeye League inits category. The team is stillthe only state championshipteam ever in Paulding athletichistory.

Five players out of the six

who were honored for bring-ing a state championship backto Paulding include MikeGoings, Bill Hodge, JimHyman, Joe LaFountain andJoe Ramon. The sixth mem-ber, Mickey Connor, was un-able to attend on Friday.

Head coach of the team wasPaul Nestor, along with coachLeo Stiger.

Other members of the teamincluded Richard Allshouse,Keith Baird, Jerry Beckman,Ray Casino, Robert Davis,Garry DeGood, James Dix,Jerry Durre, Donald Foltz,Ronald Foltz, Doug Hyman,Bill Hodge, Bill Johanns,Harry Manley, Mike McAbee,Bill Mott, Dave Mott, RobertNoneman, Mike Paulus, StevePenn, Joe Ramon, RexReighter, Richard Reinhart,Steve Reinhart, FrancisRhoads, Gerald Riggenbach,Joe Sanchez, Bernard Scott,Robert Vance, Jack Webb andJim Williamson.

The 1988 Paulding HighSchool football team boasted aregular season record of 10-0and a mark of 8-0 in theNorthwest Conference race.

Under the leadership ofhead coach Jim Caserta, theteam chalked up a point pergame average of 39.4, a defen-sive average of just 5.4 pointsper game and an average mar-gin of victory of 34 points.

The team produced 14 all-conference players. Playerswho received special recogni-tion included Max Eifrid(Division III All-OhioDefense First Team, DivisionIII All-Ohio Lineman of theYear, Northwest ConferencePlayer of the Year), RobKesler (Division III All-OhioOffense First Team), ScottStrahley (Division III All-Ohio Honorable Mention) andJim Caserta (NorthwestConference Coach of theYear).

One of the teams major sin-gle accomplishments was end-ing state-ranked DelphosJeffersons 49-game winningstreak with a 17-0 victory atDelphos.

Other members of thecoaching staff included BarryLytle, Dave Parrish, BradStoller and Mark Wooton.

The 1988 Paulding HighSchool football team exempli-fied the word team, saidCaserta. This team was notthe biggest, the fastest or thestrongest, but when all 11young men worked togetheras a unit, it accomplishedgreatness.

One undefeated/untied teamremains to be elected to thePHS Athletic Hall of Fame:the 1983 football team.

Next year, 2014, will markthe 100th anniversary ofPaulding High School foot-ball. Major work is planned toupdate the field to modernstandards.

Police Report

King of the road?Driving etiquette should be a part of every Drivers Ed course.

I, for one, hate it when someone pulls out in front of me, tail-gates me, or passes me when there is another car coming. I tendto say ##*****@@@ and not very quietly either.

I can never quite under-stand how people can pullout in front of me and nevereven see me coming. A lotof times, I just wonder if

they are in that big of ahurry or if they just arentpaying attention.

A couple of weeks ago, Iwas driving around a park-ing lot and someone with atruck decided to back up. They came within inches of hitting meand I thought for sure I would wind up with a dented car. I couldnot back up, because someone was behind me, so I did the nextlogical thing I knew to do, which was lay on my horn.

I must have scared the daylights out of the guy, because herolled down his window and shouted some really obscenewords at me. I didnt say a word, but went right on. In fact, Iwas thanking God that I had a horn to honk.

Another area in which drivers need to practice etiquette islearning to dim headlights at oncoming traffic. There is nothingthat blinds you more at night than a car approaching you in thedark with their bright lights on.

When blinded by a cars bright headlights, I always thoughtthe rule-of-thumb was to flash on your brights at them and thenthat driver would get the hint and dim their lights. This does notalways work so I have come to the conclusion that maybe head-lights in some cars may be brighter.

When thinking about driving with manners, I was surprised tofind that our neighbors to the south (rednecks) have their owncode of driving etiquette. Would the redneck driving codes workfor us? They are listed below. You decide:

Dim your headlights for approaching vehicles, even if yourgun is loaded and the deer is in sight. (But, I am not a hunter)

When approaching a four-way stop, the vehicle with thelargest tires always has the right of way. (Well, I am sure not let-ting my car argue with a semi about who has the right-of-way.He can just go first.)

Never tow another car using pantyhose and duct tape. (I cantimagine why. I will keep my stockings, thank you.)

When sending your wife down the road with a gas can, it is

impolite to ask her to bring back alcohol. (Yes, not only impo-lite, but you just might get a DUI.)Do not remove the seats from the car so that all your kids can

fit in. (Remember, there are car seat rules for all your youngns.)Do not lay rubber while traveling in a funeral procession.

(This is really tacky. Dont honk the horn either.)Do not remove the cigarette from your mouth before telling

the state trooper that you failed to see that stop sign. (I wonderwhy? You may not look too cool doing that.)

We have all made mistakes when driving and I am the first toadmit it. However, just because we all drive cars, doesnt makeus King or Queen of the Road.

A Penny ForYour Thoughts....By: Nancy Whitaker

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

Most of us working at the of-fice are organized; at least we

think we are. When it comes toour desks and work stations, itis pretty much up to each of usas to what we want on and inour desks.

Of course there are the ne-cessities such as: paper clips,rulers, tape, scissors and rubberbands. Personally, I like keep-ing my necessities out on mydesk so I can have quicker ac-cess to them.

Of course, there is the phone,the computer, and file folderson my desk which I use everyday. I also have business cards,pens, pencils and a stapler. So

far so good.However, those items we

need to do our jobs may not in-clude some special necessitiesor everything you might needthroughout the day.

What are some of those spe-cial necessities? You just neverknow. I have been known to ei-ther lose a button or rip mybritches here at work and needa needle and thread.

Now, I am not a sewer, so a

needle and thread is the lastthing you would find on mydesk or even in my purse.

Wouldnt you know it? Of allthings, one of us does happento have sewing equipment intheir purse. Whew! Thank Godfor that necessity.

Remember the TV show,Lets Make a Deal? Folkswere asked if they had some-thing strange in their pursesuch as a boiled egg. I dontthink anybody here has a

boiled egg in their purse, how-ever each one of us have ourown emergency supplies thatwe keep with us.

One thing we all like andcant seem to keep around very

long is chocolate. Nothing canmake you feel any better at 3

p.m. than some chocolate. Ex-perts have said that chocolatedoes make you feel better andwe do seem to work harder andfaster following a chocolatefix.

Another item I have at mywork station is a little sam-

ple bottle of Crown Royalwhich was given to me by afriend about five years ago at a

news conference. It remainsunopened, but maybe the day Iretire, I will break the seal on it

and pass it around. Cheers!Of course in the winter time,

you never know how quick asnowstorm can creep up andwe could get stranded. (I neverhave yet, but you never know.)

We are all creatures that likecomfort, whether it is at homeor at work. I think that in caseof an emergency, we could sur-vive here at work for a coupleof hours. I mean, as long as wehave chocolate, we are good.

My little bottle of CrownRoyal will remain intact for awhile longer, holding itsstately position on my desk.

However, just in case of anemergency only, it is avail-able.

As I do my job, I have notsmelled or looked for anychocolate today, but I do havea little sack of chips. Shhhhh.

Do you have any emer-gency supplies at work? Doyou think chocolate helpsyour proficiency at work? Letme know and Ill give you aPenny for Your Thoughts.

Registration begins at noon until 2 pm aroundthe town square on Jackson and Main St. in Paulding

Birds of Paulding CountyBy Mark HoltsberryEducation specialist

Paulding SWCDThis is an article written by Homer Price, a

continuation of last weeks article.Birds of Paulding CountyBy Homer PriceJuly 14, 1970

Crows were rather uncommon in 1920, thenincreased in numbers until, in the 1930s, onecould see nests in many of the brushy, small treeareas at the borders of fields. Bounties were paid

for killing them at one time. I have seen very fewcrows during the last several years. It has beenclaimed that raccoons climb the trees and eat theeggs and young.

Tree swallows formerly nested in bird boxesnear the Maumee west of Antwerp. I have nocertain records in recent years for the county.They generally nest in old woodpecker excava-tions, but seem to be scarce even at the GrandReservoir in Mercer County. They are commonin places near Lake Erie.

Bank swallows nest at the present time in largenumbers at the Auglaize quarries southeast ofJunction. A stretch of shallow sandy soil on theeast wall of the quarry has perhaps 100 or moretunnels. Sandy soil seems to be a must for thespecies. They tried to nest one season in the sidesof the waste lime accumulations at the Paulding

Sugar Company. While examining abandonedtunnels, I found that the lime burned my hand. Itundoubtedly burned the feet of the swallowscausing them to abandon the site.

The rough-winged swallow is a little largerthan the bank swallow and can excavate tunnelsin clay banks along the streams. They also nestsometimes in tiles of drainage ditches emptyinginto open ditches, usually with disastrous resultsafter rains.

Barn swallows are now fastening their mudnests to the cement walls under bridges over theopen ditches. Formerly their nests were built in

barns or abandoned houses.As to purple martins, I notice many bird

houses while driving around. These were builtfor martins, but English sparrows and starlingstake over the majority of them.

The black-capped chickadee was probably theonly species here in 1820, but the southern Car-olina chickadee has almost replaced them. How-ever, both are rare nesters. I have found morenests of the Carolina than of the black-cap whichis paler.

Nuthatches and titmice probably will be resi-dents as long as we have a few woodlots alongthe streams. Eggs of the former are sometimes

difficult to secure as they often have knotholeentrances to the cavities.

The long-billed marsh wrens undoubtedlybuilt their ball-shaped nests in the old AntwerpReservoir before the east wall was dynamited.We seem to have no records of the species how-ever for that time. The species is abundant at theGrand Reservoir and the Lake Erie marshes.

Short-billed marsh wrens are rare nesters.They nest in soggy or boggy places, laying purewhite eggs in ball-shaped nests. The mocking

bird is a rare nester. My collection contains four

eggs taken June 11, 1943 from a bushy pasturenear Flatrock Creek southwest of Payne.

Wood thrush, formerly nesting in low trees inwet woods and along the creeks, is uncommonnow.

Wilsons thrush, the species definitely nestedin low woods along Flatrock Creek near the In-diana state line during the 1910-1920s. Whilecollecting land snails in the Peaslee Woods in theCecil area in the 1960s I heard two males singingat a time when they probably had young in thenests on the ground, still a rare summer bird inthe county.

Blue birds are rare today. The species fluctu-ates from rare to fairly common over a period ofyears.

Blue-gray gnatcatcher, this tiny bird builds anest somewhat like that of the hummingbird, but

of course much larger. They were common a fewyears ago and may still be.

Cedar waxwing, common in migration, but isa rare nester. A single egg in my collection wastaken from a nest found by Edward Rubin in ashade tree in Payne, June 22, 1916.

Migrant shrike (butcher bird), was commonfrom about 1910 to through the 1920s andslowly declining in numbers. I have not seen onefor perhaps 20 years. They nested in orchardsand Osage orange hedges.

Starling, these birds began nesting high up incavities of trees in our woods in 1928. They weresoon plentiful everywhere. The red-eyed warblingand yellow-throated vireos have all nested here.The yellow-throated has been common duringsome summers. Vireos have all nested here. Thewarbling still nests in shade trees in the towns. The

red-eyed was always the most common, but I be-lieve they have declined in number.

The writings of Homer F. Price will be contin-ued next week.

Thank you to the Master Gardeners for theirwonderful donation to the paving project at the

park! Help us raise the remaining $3,800 for theresurfacing project. Stop in at the office at theOSU Extension office or call 419-399-4771.

In TheGarden

These are a few ofmy favorite trees

Fall is approaching and assomeone who has close to100 trees on this acre of landwe live on, this means leafraking. Raking, because inspite of leaves being a greatmulch if theyre small, ours

are not.We have several oaks that

are over 200 years old, as de-termined by a formula formeasuring, specific to oaks.As anyone who has oak treesin their yard knows, these aredirty trees, dropping not onlyacorns in the fall, but copiousamounts of leaves. All. Year.Long.

Our property was once awoods, as much of PauldingCounty was. It was only inthe 1970s that it was clearedfor building. When webought the two-year-oldhouse in 1977, there were

only six trees here, threeoaks, two maples, and a shag-bark hickory. All six are stillhere, although one large oakhas lost its eastern half,thanks to a storm.

That means weve planteda LOT of trees over thecourse of the last 35+ years.More than once, my dad haswalked around our yard andasked, Why do you have somany trees? My answer isalways the same. Were re-woodsing the woods.

My husband loves trees tooand apparently he doesnt mindmowing around them. (This is

what my dad was considering.)Even though we already haveplenty of trees, were alwaysopen to planting more.

My love affair with treesbegan when our youngerdaughter, Jenna, had to do aleaf collection in school. Wescoured the area for all theleaves she was required tohave and by the time she wasdone, there were three treesthat I decided I must have.

magnolia family. They can beseen growing in native woodsand I want one here.

I dont yet have a tulippoplar, but it isnt because Ihavent tried. Ive made fourattempts to grow one, but for

some unknown reason, theydie after just a couple ofyears. Im not giving upthough. I intend to find an-other and plant it yet this fall.

I love redbud trees too. Onegrew just outside my child-hood bedroom window, and Ilike its quirky habit of flow-ering right on the bark, aswell as the graceful form ofits branching. Theyre espe-cially lovely right after a rain,when their magenta bloomsglow against the wet black

bark.Fifth on my list is a group

of trees, rather than just one.Japanese maples come inmany leaf forms, yet all arerecognizable as maples.Theyre elegant and architec-tural, and Ive never met any-one who didnt love them.

We have six different onesat Our Little Acre, but my fa-vorite is one that my grandma

bought for me when I firststarted gardening seriously. Ithink of her every time I walkout my back door and see it.

And finally, theres the sas-safras. Another Ohio native, ithas the cutest mitten-shapedleaves and has a place on myshopping list too.

Do you have a favorite tree?Perhaps its one that holds spe-cial meaning for you. Let meknow if you do, and tell mewhy you like it. Maybe I needone for our woods.

Read Kylee Baumles blog,Our Little Acre at www.ourlit-tleacre.com and on Facebookat www.facebook.com/OurLit-tleAcre. Contact her at [email protected].

I love the quirky leaves andbeautiful form of the ginkgo.It didnt take long for me tofind one, buy it, and plant it.Because its planted as an un-derstory tree near one ofthose large oaks, it hasntgrown much, so it functionsas an accent tree in one of thegardens.

The second tree I pur-chased was a sweet gum. Inspite of people warning meabout the spiny seed pods, Iwanted the tree for its star-shaped leaves and yes, eventhe gum balls. The tree we

planted didnt do so well,right from the start; the leaveswere never healthy, the barklooked diseased, and one daywe decided to cut it down.

We didnt take the remain-ing stump out right away anddont you know, that treestarted growing again. Today,its a beautiful, healthy, eight-foot tree, with a crooked littlespot at the base of the trunk.

No gum balls yet, though.They dont start producingthose until they reach an ageof about 20 years.

The third tree I just had tohave was a native tulip

poplar, which isnt really apoplar at all. Often called atulip tree because of the shapeof its leaves and its largeflowery spring blooms, thisstately tree is a member of the

Winning the Battle for a GenerationBy Rick Jones

exec. director, DefianceArea Youth for Christ

What needs to change in your life?As I get older I must admit its helpful to

have reminders, for example, the call from thedentist or doctors office to remind you of anupcoming appointment. I read this past weekof how our technology is changing to addressthe issue of getting us to change behavior:

A recent (2013) article in The Wall StreetJournal explored the new wave of gadgets that

will remind, cajole, pressure, threaten, judge,and nag us about what were supposed to doand how to punish ourselves when we fallshort.

For instance, a new smart-utensil called theHAPIfork measures how fast you eat while it

prods you to slow down and chew. A companycalled Automatic offers a device that will chirpwhen a driver speeds, slams on the brakes, ordoes other things behind the wheel that yourmother wouldnt like.

For $50 you can buy a toothbrush that wire-lessly tells a phone app how often and howlong you brush your teeth. The phone appsends the user rewards and punishments basedon brushing behavior.

A webcam software program called Pos-

tureTrack will catch you slouching, and awebsite called Beeminder will tally fines forundesirable behaviors like not flossing or stay-

ing up too late.One device user said that the digital nagging

can kind of run your life. Another user said,Its now possible to have a device in the

background of your life recording everythingyou do.

The best predictor of a change in behavioris a changed life, where by faith we give own-ership of our lives, our souls to maker, ourLord Jesus Christ.

Regarding the subject of change the scrip-tures say 2 Corinthians 5:17; (NASB),

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a newcreature; the old things passed away; behold,new things have come.
