By JIM LANGHAMProgress Feature WriterThe worst snowstorm since

the Blizzard of 78 roared fullforce into Paulding County onSunday, closing most roads,businesses and county officesin its wake.

Heavy snow blanketed thearea, combined with strongwinds and record-setting sub-zero temperatures. A winterweather warning was in effectfrom 1 a.m. Sunday through 4p.m. Monday; a wind chillwarning was set to expire at 8p.m. Tuesday.

While its hard to tell be-cause of the drifting, mostareas received at least a foot ofsnow, with National WeatherService officials declaring thatbetween 10 and 16 inches ofsnow fell over all of northwestOhio, northern Indiana andsouthern Michigan.

At the Paulding WaterPlant, workers recorded 9inches of snow fell from 7:30a.m. Sunday through 7:30a.m. Monday.

Emergency ManagementAgency director RandyShaffer said that while thisstorm is not as bad as theBlizzard of 78, he believes itis the worst one to hit the

The county highwayplows were out Monday, butthey werent making muchprogress, said Landers.They were mainly workingon primary roads. There werea lot of really bad roads outthere.

Landers said that bySunday evening, all roads inthe county were drifted shutone place or another. He notedthat he called his guys off theroad for their own safety andso that they could be availableto help make special health orsafety runs, if necessary.

We have numbers wherewe can call county and town-ship crews to help us get tocertain destinations in case ofemergencies, commentedLanders. They will plow uswhere we need to go. In emer-gency situations, they canplow the EMS right to the

Heavy snow fell Sunday, blanketing the area in about a footof snow, which later combined with strong winds and plum-meting temperatures. More than 40 readers have shared over70 snowstorm photos with the Progress, including this onefrom Jamie Knox Clark of the snow coming down. Weve post-ed many on our Facebook page.

Paulding County remained under a Level 3 snow emergency from Sunday evening and wasstill in effect as the Progresswent to press at noon Tuesday. Drifting and blowing snow reducedvisibility and made travel extremely hazardous. Snow plows couldnt keep up; the few that wereout were attempting to keep the main roads passable for emergency vehicles. Reader JessicaOsborn submitted this photo of a snow plow off the road on Ohio 637.

Winter is usually not oneof my favorite seasons, butSunday night I couldnt helpfeeling overwhelmed by theamazing beauty the Lord wassprinkling down on us, com-mented Antwerps CaseyHathaway. We woke up thismorning to all of our shovelingwork completely covered

blown over.

We have two dogs and onMonday we had go outsidethree times to re-open theirarea, continued Hathaway. Itwas so cold you could hear thetrees creaking because theywere frozen. Thankfully, welive in town and arent seeingthe full fury of this. I considerthe cold to be the worst of allof this.

For one area resident,Mondays blizzard was an un-forgettable way of celebratinga special occasion in her life her birthday.

Jan Comers, who works inthe election office in down-

town Paulding, didnt have togo to work, but she spentmuch of the day answering

birthday wishes she receivedon Facebook, through phonecalls and texts.

I am trying to answer eachof them, because each one ofthem is from a special personthat has touched my life, saidComers. I like snow, so I amenjoying it. I went three hous-es down to my nieces tospend some time with myyoungest great-nephew. He is17 months old and everythingis new to him.

Watching him look out the

window at the snow became aspecial memory for me. Thiswill be a birthday that is hardto forget, added Comers.

Pauldings Kim Suttonseemingly summed up thespirit shared by many countyresidents when she said, I amso grateful that we live in theday and age that we can bealerted to the coming weather.We had plenty of time to pre-

pare and we did. We stockedup on food, bought keroseneand propane for our heaters incase the power goes out andalso gas for the generator.

I am so thankful for those

men and women who are outthere working to keep us safeand warm in our homes.Mother Nature has a way ofhumbling us and making usacutely aware of how vulnera-

people know when you areleaving and when you arrivethere.

As always, Shaffer said,dont hesitate to call 911 in thecase of emergency.

Shaffer said that sometimeago, he and ODOT officials inLima had worked out a dealwhereby ODOT emergencyequipment will come off ofstate roads on to county roadsto assist when an emergencyis involved.

If we call their supervisor,he will authorize them tocome off of state roads on tocounty roads and assist ourEMS in the case of an emer-gency, said Shaffer.

The storm started buildinginto the county on Sundaymorning. By noon, heaviersnow had moved in, whichcontinued to drop one to twoinches an hour most of the af-ternoon. Things worsenedquickly near evening when a

powerful cold front enteredthe county with high winds,which immediately causednear-blizzard drifting.

gency call.He noted that nearly all

businesses in Paulding andsurrounding area appeared to

be closed on Monday. Also,all county schools and county-level government offices con-tinued to be closed throughTuesday.

Paulding Mayor GregWhite said he believes that atleast 12 inches of snow fell onthe village. White said that,like the county, PauldingVillage was also operatingunder a Level 3 alert, meaningthat no one but emergencytraffic should be on the streets.

The guys are out workinghard plowing the streets,White said on Monday. Theirfirst priority is going to makesure that emergency vehiclescan get through.

Right now they are pilingsnow up on corners. Once thecrisis has passed, we willwork with Kauser(Excavating) to get the snowremoved, White said.

Our first emphasis is thatvillage residents are as safe as

they can be, added White.Shaffer, EMA director,

praised county residents forusing a lot of good commonsense. He noted that during a

period on Monday, he onlypassed two cars on the road.

Its extremely quiet every-where, said Shaffer onMonday. Its extremely quietat the hospital. People arewisely not taking any chances.

I was in Fort Wayne onFriday night; it was crazy upthere. Meijers was out ofhamburger. One of our localstores was out of bread andmilk on Sunday, said Shaffer.

Shaffer recalled a series ofstorms in the late 1970s be-sides the Great Blizzard. Hereferred to one storm when hewas running a shelter inAntwerp in 1977. On that oc-casion, he said, an entireGreyhound Bus of travelerswere stranded at the shelter.

from his normal schedule,said Landers. I appreciatethat.

Were excited to get themin action and get Jano work-ing. Weve probably had 10traffic stops in the past fewweeks that we would have

brought him in on. To havethat resource will be real nice,continued the sheriff.

Its a lot to put on his shoul-ders, but he accepts the factthat he is the person to prove tome and the county that this is a

beneficial resource, saidLanders of Deitrick. Ive got-ten nothing but good feedbackfrom the community about this

program. With Gary settingthe bar for us, I can seriouslysee us adding a second K-9

down the road.Community support has

been considerable, accordingto Sheriff Landers. He men-tioned Baker and Shindler pro-vided materials and fees to

pour the kennel while TaylorBrothers provided equipmentto accomplish the task of com-

pleting the concrete work.In the area of food and

health care, the IAMS plant inLeipsic is donating all Janosfood. Dr. Missy Bowman andher staff at Paulding AnimalClinic are committed to Janoscontinued healthcare needs.

The sheriff is also apprecia-tive of the monetary donationsthe department has receivedfrom almost 30 individuals,families, businesses and or-ganizations, including mem-

1997 event that closed thecourthouse. But this is extraor-dinary, Peters admits.

Even the dog doesnt wantto go outside, said Peters. Iam just hoping that peopledont lose their power, thatthey stay safe and warm andthat outside animals are

brought in and taken care of.My son and I made two

snowmen yesterday (Sunday)before it got too cold, Peterssaid. We also had a snowballfight and while Dad was blow-ing the drive, threw snowballs

at him. We all had a blast. Bestof all, I was glad to spend anentire day with the entire fam-ily this bitter and coldMonday.

Many of the areas youthsnoted that they had never seensuch a large amount of snow atone time.

I think its really cool. Ihave never seen this muchsnow before, said WayneTrace student Alicia Williams.I want to thank the many peo-

ple who are working so hard tomake sure that everyone issafe. Im hoping to play morein the snow with my family

and friends. I wish it wouldsnow more.

Stacy Thomas, who alongwith her husband, Ben, andchildren live in a countryhome southwest of Payne,waxed poetically as she de-scribed the fields around theirhome as looking like a sea ofsnow waves over the country-side.

Drifts are probably three tofour feet high in front of thehouse, said Thomas. Wehave loved our time at home.Im a homebody anyway. Benand I watched a movie and

played board games with the

kids.Its nice to be stuck inside

and having a special familytime that the hustle and bustle

of life sometimes takes awayfrom us. We are glad to bewarm, but we are praying forthose who have to be outside

braving the elements, addedThomas.

During the first day of thestorm it was still warm and Iwas able to send my kids outto build forts and have snow-

ball fights, commentedPaynes Amber Schuerman.We love our neighbors,Tammy, Meghan and Kirsten,so we had them all over forsupper. We enjoyed hanging

out and listening to the windand snow blowing. Most ofall, we enjoyed being togeth-er.

Other residents that stayedin until late Monday wereshocked when they steppedoutside the door and were

blasted with the brutally coldair. Darnell Goings said that hehad layered with clothes but hehad no idea what was comingwhen he stepped into the coldair.

I was shocked; I couldntbelieve it ... it was so cold,said Goings. I thought that Iwas dressed warm enough

until I opened the door.A majority of county resi-

dents stayed in, tried to keepwarm and tried to keep their

pipes from freezing. Many,like Broughtons Beth Offerle,spent much of the day curlingup to a good book or crochet-ing.

It is very windy, the snowis blowing around somethingterrible. I cant see very far; itlooks pretty much like a white-out looking north, saidOfferle on Monday.

Michelle Waggoner, wholives north of Payne, wouldhave normally spent her

Monday getting up early anddriving to the office where sheis an administrator atHicksville CommunityHospital. However, this dayshe didnt attempt to get out ofher driveway; that was con-firmed to be a good decisionwhen a snowplow was stuckin the drifts in her drivewayand around the house.

Like Paulding CountyHospital and other area health-care agencies, Waggoner saidthat Hicksville had special

plans it implemented in suchtreacherous circumstances.

Our administrative offices,

business office, medicalrecords, fitness center, rehabdepartment and physician of-fices have closed today andwill be closed tomorrow, saidWagonner on Monday. Ournurses, lab staff, radiology,respiratory, dietary, house-

In My Opinion

Quality of life isan assignment

By Kim K. SuttonQuality of Life is a term that can sometimes be confused

with the concept of Standard of Living. Quality of life in-dicators include not only wealth, employment, clean air and

clear water, but also human traits, such as a small-town at-mosphere, a strong sense of community, and family orienta-tion. The word neighborly fits nicely.

Talk about economic development, and the future usuallyincludes a discussion of quality of life issues especiallywhen the focus is on what the county will or wont do to at-tract new business. No one Iknow suggests that chasingsmokestacks is essential toeconomic development.

When people talk about thecountys future, what youhear is what the majority ofresidents of small communi-ties across the nation say Wed like to keep it about the same, maybe a little larger,more economic diversity. (Taken from a survey done by theHeartland Center of Leadership Development.)

A successful rural community needs to know its assets andknow how to emphasize its uniqueness. Our people are con-servative and independent, products of a frontier heritage, nodoubt. Our county offers quality employees, low crime rate,lower overhead, great schools, excellent health care facilities,recreational opportunities, and life, in general, is slower-

paced where family and community come first. Comfort-able living may be the appropriate slogan.

Successful rural communities are often showplaces ofpride and attention, with neatly trimmed yards, public gar-dens and well kept parks. Pride also shows up in other ways,especially in community festivals and events that give resi-dents the chance to celebrate their community, its history andheritage. These factors are more important than size or loca-tion, which we can do nothing about. These successful townsare surviving because they know the future of the communityis in the hands of the people who live there and they marketit.

Making a hometown a good place to live for a long time tocome is a pro-active assignment.

DONT MESS WITH TEXAS

(CHILI)

Exactly what is chili?The answer to that questionis, It depends on where youlive. I have made and eatenwhat I call chili all my lifeand recently found out thatTexas Chili is very differentfrom what they call YankeeChili.

A former Paulding Countyresident, Mona Larson GloorJimerson, who has resided inTexas for the past 30 years, ishome visiting her parents,John and Ola Larson ofAntwerp.

Mona is a wonderful cookwho has taken her passion forfood and runs her own cater-ing business called SimplySouthern.

When Mona is home herein Ohio, she loves to cook forher parents. On Thursdaynight, Mona, from her par-ents house, posted the fol-

lowing on her Facebook page,Forgive me Father for I havesinned. I just put beans inchili! Please forgive me.

When I read that, I won-dered, So what. I always putbeans in chili. However,Mona has many friends inTexas who read her posts aswell as us Midwesterners whoalso read them.

Of course, I am a Yankeeso I immediately commented,I always put beans in chili.What else would you put init?

This got a discussion going

that by the time the Ohioansand the Texans got throughdebating how to make chili,there were 129 posts fromvarious chili makers.

Of course, all of us Yan-kees put beans in our chili,plus we use hamburger andtomatoes. Some of us evenput macaroni in it.

To the Texans, this was just

sacrilegious. Comments fromfellow Texans were flowingback and forth.

Retired Judge Alvin Khouryspoke of Monas repentancesaying, Nope Mona. That isone sin (putting beans in chili)that cannot be forgiven.

Attorney and radio an-nouncer Bob Cole got in onthe conversation with this

comment, Oh no! Yankeechili. You dont put beans inTexas chili. Meat, meat, meat.Venison is the best! Beans inchili would be like puttinglemons in spaghetti sauce. Itjust isnt done.

My questions included, Ifchili has no beans, do you eatit on a bun? Isnt it like sloppyJoe? How can anyone justcook meat and spices and callit chili?

Ryan Stanford, a big city of-ficial from Texas, added this tothe mix, telling poor Mona,You may be deported to

Oklahoma for putting beans inchili.

Stanford then asked, Didyou explain to everyone that

A Penny For

Your Thoughts....B : Nanc Wh itakerwhen you put in beans, it nolonger is chili? We have an obli-gation to bring civilization to theheathens! (Bless their hearts.)

Kelly Pope Woods shared herknowledge of chili by adding,Texas chili is eaten like soup, ina bowl, but its thick and rich andtopped with Fritos, cheese,onion, and if youre from thecity, mustard.

It seems as if Texans dont eatWendys chili, either. Ryan Stan-ford replied, No, Nancy, be-cause they put beans in it anderroneously call it chili.

Bill OMara, then said, I wason a chili cookoff team in col-lege. The rules are to just takemeat, onions and garlic and slowcook for a long time. Jalapeno orgarlic can be added later.

Bob Cole said that he some-times uses shredded meat insteadof ground meat and that venisonor elk venison is the absolutebest to use.

How do you make chili?

Have you ever eaten the Texasstyle chili? Let me know and Illgive you a Penny For YourThoughts.

Support PEVS Mini-Relay for Life

ByKylee Baumle

In TheGarden

A little story about clematisand to not worry about it. Theywere right. Absolutely nothingcame of it, but poor Mama

Robin suffered a great loss thatday.

We still have two of thoseoriginal three clematis vines,even though the railing was re-placed by a wall when weadded on a family room in1983. Clematis is pretty toughand though those vines dontsee one lick of direct sun any-more, they still manage to puton a pretty good show ofblooms every June.

As Ive worked my waythrough writing the clematis de-scriptions, Ive learned aboutsome unusual and outstandingvarieties. There are some, such

as Filigree and Petit Faucon,that only grow a foot or two inheight and have more of amounding habit.

Passion flowers are not gen-erally hardy to our zone, butFlorida Sieboldii has whitepetals with brilliant purple sta-mens in the center, which in-spired its common name ofPassion Flower Clematis.

Some, like Huldine, have at-tractive backsides and should begrown on arbors, where bothfront and back can be appreci-ated. Nelly Moser does betterin shade than it does in full sun,where the flowers will fade. And

Bijou makes a great houseplantwhen it has bright indirect light.

This is where the unintendedconsequences of writing plantdescriptions comes in. Guesswhose plant wish list just got alittle longer.

Read Kylees blog, Our LittleAcre, at www.ourlittleacre.comand on Facebook at www.face-book.com/OurLittleAcre. Con-tact her atPauldingProgressGardener@gmail.com.

clematis vines wove in and outamong themselves and com-pletely covered that north sideof the railing. The thick tapestryof vines provided just the rightspot for a robin to build a nest.

While we were working inthe yard one day during thatsummer of 82, Kara was withus, doing whatever kind ofwork a 2-year-old does. Thenext thing we knew, she hadyellowish-orange goo dribblingdown her chin. It looked amaz-ingly like raw egg yolk.

Further investigation foundthat where there once had beenfour tiny blue eggs, there wasnow just one and our darlingdaughter had consumed theother three. That robins nestwas located at just the rightheight for a 2-year-olds reach.

All kinds of thoughts go

through a mothers mind whenthings like this happen. First ofall, there is the ick factor whenthinking about eating raw eggs(shells and all), but then there isthe matter of those germs. AndI really didnt want to thinkabout that.

We got her cleaned up and Icalled the doctors office. Imfairly certain I heard a fewsnickers on the other end of thetelephone line, but they assuredme that she would be just fine

As a freelance writer, I oftenhave assignments and take onwriting jobs that require me to

do a fair amount of research.Not only do I want to presentaccurate information, I alsoknow that Im going to be learn-ing something new and I lovethat. But sometimes the re-search has unintended conse-quences.

Im currently working on ed-iting and writing some plant de-scriptions for an independentgarden center in Michigan. Itsa pretty straightforward task,with each description needing tocontain the same basic informa-tion: height, flower size, seasonof bloom, hardiness, growthhabit, etc.

As I write these, I try to thinklike a gardener and ask myselfwhat I would want and need toknow if I were searching for aplant to grow in my own gar-den. The current plant du jour isClematis. Ive got 70 varietiesto research and describe.

Clematis is a plant that Imvery familiar with, in fact, is oneof the oldest here at Our LittleAcre. We moved here in 1977and though I dont rememberexactly when I planted what Impretty sure is Clematis Jack-manii, it was well-establishedby the time our older daughterKara was 2 years old in 1982.

We originally had three vines,all planted along a wrought-ironrailing by our patio behind thehouse. The vines covered oneside of the railing that wentaround a stairwell leading to ourbasement. During the month ofJune, those vines were lush andblooming with hundreds ofdeep purple flowers. They werestunning.

With the railing having aheight of about three feet and alength of about 12, the three

Clematis Jackmanii is a very common variety, easily found here and just as easy to grow.Petal count can vary from 4-6 and it blooms best in full sun to part shade.

Speice wipes glass for rebounding recordBy KEVIN

WANNEMACHERSportswriter

SHERWOOD Lauren Speice set

a new Wayne Trace game record with20 rebounds to lead the Wayne TraceLady Raiders to a 62-45 win overFairview in the Green Meadows Con-ference opener for both schools Fri-day night.

Speice also scored a game-high 22points for the Raiders, who move to7-2 overall on the season. The seniorforward picked up seven boards in thefirst quarter and totaled a dozen in thefirst half.

After grabbing five more in thethird quarter, Speice broke the recordat the 4:05 mark of the final stanzawith her ninth defensive rebound ofthe evening.

Lauren played very well tonight,

noted Raider head coach BethanyHughes. She was very aggressiveand really went to the boards hard.

Wayne Trace outrebounded thehost Lady Apaches, 52-30, on thenight, getting a dozen boards by fel-

low senior Sylvia Young as well.We rebounded well as a team,

continued the Raider mentor. Ithought we got better as the game

went.After a slow start, the red, whiteand blue put together an 11-0 run latein the first quarter to take control ofthe contest.

Trailing 10-4, a Speice basket ig-nited the run, which also includedbaskets from Erin Mohr and Youngbefore ending with a Shayna Templebucket.

Following two free throws byFairviews Ali Hug, Wayne TracesBrooke Wilcox scored just before theend of the opening quarter to put theRaiders on top, 17-10, after eightminutes of action.

The Lady Apaches made a quick runto start the second stanza, pulling within

21-18 on a Kayla Bauer layup.However, Wayne Trace answeredwith buckets from Mohr, Speice, Youngand Wilcox in pushing the margin backto 29-22. The Raiders went on to post a34-27 advantage at the intermission.

Every time they made a run, wefound a way to answer, Hughes added.

Fairview got as close as 40-35 in thethird quarter after a Sara Carder basket,

but would get no closer.Wayne Trace responded with a three-point play and basket from Speicealong with two Mohr buckets in takinga 51-40 lead into the final period.

The Raiders ended any doubt in thefourth, scoring seven straight pointsmidway through the quarter to seal thevictory.

Mohr added 14 points for the red,white and blue while Temple chippedin seven markers. Temple also hadseven boards while dishing out four as-sists. Madi Poling and Brenda Feasbypicked up three assists each for WayneTrace.

I thought we got quality minutesfrom everybody, said Hughes. Its al-

ways good to start the league portion ofthe schedule with a win.Hug topped the Apaches with 11

markers and Erin Marshall chipped innine. Carder topped Fairview withseven rebounds and three assists with

Hug recording three steals.Fairview drops to 3-7 on the sea-

son.Wayne Traces junior varsity

moved to 7-1 on the year with a 46-32 victory over the Apaches.Hollie Wannemacher paced the

Raiders with 10 points and CourtneyMead chipped in eight. Brianna Sinnand Danae Myers added six markersa piece.

Myers also grabbed 11 reboundsfor the red, white and blue. Wan-nemacher picked up six steals withBrianna Sinn and Leah Sinn record-ing five steals each.

Chyanne Retcher picked up 13points and eight boards to lead theApaches.

The Lady Raiders will make thelong trip to Holgate on Friday in akey Green Meadows Conference bat-

tle. Both teams enter the contest with1-0 records in league play.Holgate will be a challenge for

us, concluded Hughes. They are avery good basketball team and wehave to go over there ready to play.

Lady Aces deal Archers their eighth setbackBy JOE SHOUSE

SportswriterANTWERP The

Hicksville Lady Aces re-turned the favor to the LadyArchers last Thursday when

the Aces turned backedAntwerp 37-31 on theArchers home court. Back onDec. 21, Antwerp slipped pastHicksville, 45-40,in the con-solation round of the Route49Classic held at Hicksville.

Hicksvilles freshmanChelsey Taylor scored theAces first basket followed bya 3-pointer by teammate SamSell to put the Aces in front,5-0, a lead they would never

give away.Kaiya Jemison, the lone

Antwerp senior, managed tobring the Archers even at sixapiece with 2:49 remaining inthe opening frame.

Hicksville used a 10-0 runto increase their advantage to16-6 before Audrie Longard-ner dialed in from 3-pointland with 2:30 remaining inthe second quarter. The LadyAces outscored the Archers 4-2 to close out the first half,holding a 20-11 lead.

Its not an excuse, butsome of the kids have thesniffles and thats the way weplayed tonight. We didnt

come out and play aggres-sively at all, and it cost us agame we should have won,said head coach Kevin Taylor.

The third period saw theArchers pick it up offensively

with 13 points while holdingHicksville to just six.

The blue and white chippedaway at the Aces margin andtrailed by just one, 24-23, onback-to-back buckets.

Holding a slim two-pointlead, 26-24, heading into thefinal eight minutes of play,the Aces scored the first fourpoints to push their margin to30-24, and while Antwerp gota free throw from Jemison,

the Aces added four points ona basket by Avery Demlandand two free throws byRachel Schroeder to pullaway by nine, 34-25.

Antwerp freshman Peyton

Short connected from behindthe arc followed by a 2-pointbucket from Jemison to bringthe Archers to within four 34-30 with 33.8 seconds remain-ing. Antwerp would get nocloser with the remainingscoring coming from the foulline.

Our lack of aggressive-ness and 25 turnovers isntgoing to get the job done,

said Taylor.Leading scorer for the

Lady Archers was Jemisonwith 11. Also scoring forAntwerp were Braaten(eight), Longardner (five),

Short (five) and Annie Miesle(two).

Hicksville had two girls indouble digits with Sam Sellleading the way with 11 andteammate Rachel Schroederadding 10 for the 3-8 Aces.

The 1-8 Lady Archers willbe at Tinora on Friday whenthey take on the 3-6 LadyRams with the junior varsitytipping off at 6 p.m.

Panthers launch new year with double winsBy JIM LANGHAM

SportswriterPaulding boys head coach

Shawn Brewer is more thanpleased with his teams per-formance this past weekend.The Panthers launched 2014with a pair of victories, winningat Liberty Center, 49-44, on Fri-day night, and then traveling toParkway for a 63-43 pasting ofthe home team on Saturdaynight.

Coming back after theChristmas holidays is alwaystough, said Brewer. Were ex-cited to keep things going.

The Panthers, who have wonfour games in a row, improvedtheir mark to 7-2 following Sat-urdays Parkway win.

The thing that pleased

Brewer at Liberty Center wasthe fact that the Panthers con-quered without the services ofClinton Vance, who was out

with the flu.Even though our starting

point guard was out, other guys

stepped up and handled the balllot; they helped us into oursets, Brewer said.

I felt that we had one of ourbetter defensive efforts of theseason, added Brewer.

Paulding jumped out to a 16-10 advantage at the end of thefirst quarter and then held on toa 23-18 halftime advantage.Thanks to a tenacious defensiveeffort, Paulding held on to a 37-31 advantage at the end of threequarters.

Paulding fired at 55 percentshooting to continue its steadyoffensive effort. Kyle Kauserled the Paulding effort with 14points while Treston Gonzales

and Gerod Harder each finishedthe night with 11 points.

In junior varsity action,Paulding won, 42-36.

Paulding at ParkwayOn Saturday night, it was

Panther against Panther as the

Paulding Panthers invadedParkway. Once again, the ma-roon and white took a balancedattack of shooters to chalk upanother solid 55 percent shoot-ing night to post the 20-pointwin.

Guy Harder led the Pauldingattack in this one with 22 pointswhile Kyle Kauser posted 17points. In addition, TrestonGonzales slipped 12 pointsthrough the iron to add to thelocal cause.

Paulding opened up a 16-12lead at the end of the first quar-ter and then expanded it to 34-20 at the halfway mark. ThePanthers continued to play

strong in the second half to cap-ture the one-sided win.They (Parkway) came out

with a little different defense

than we had faced, they cameout in a zone, said Brewer.Our guys passed the ball well.

I thought it was one of our betteroffensive efforts. Everybody gota touch of the ball.

Paulding continues to main-tain a busy schedule, travelingto Bluffton for a conferencegame on Friday, then travelingto Fairview on Saturday. Tues-day the Panthers play a makeupgame with Wayne Trace.

Concerning the Blufftongame, Brewer said, Weregoing down there and they aregoing to have a very patient of-fense. They like to spread it outand then get a basket on you.

Were going to have tomake sure of our shots becausewe are not going to get that

many good looks, continuedBrewer. Were going to have totake advantage of every goodshot we get.

Raider defense savages NapoleonBy KEVIN

WANNEMACHERSportswriter

HAVILAND WayneTrace moved to 4-1 on theseason as the Raiders over-came a sluggish effort to posta 45-34 win over NapoleonSaturday night at thePalace.

Napoleon falls to 4-5 with

the loss.Napoleon controlled the

opening quarter, using AnsonLankenaus second trey totake a 6-3 advantage.

After T.J. Blackmore hitone of two foul shots forWayne Trace, the Wildcatspicked up a 3-pointer and abasket from Blake Dunbar totake an 11-6 lead after eightminutes of action.

We struggled offensivelytonight, noted Raider headcoach Jim Linder. I thoughtwe got better as the nightwent on, but we really never

established anything early.While Wayne Trace wasunable to establish itself of-fensively in the first quarter,the Wildcats had even more

trouble in the second quarter.Napoleon missed all seven

field goal attempts in thestanza and missed three freethrow shots as well, as theWildcats were blanked on thescoreboard.

Meanwhile, the Raiders to-taled 13 points in the periodin opening a 19-11 halftimeadvantage. Devin Wenzlick

and Jake Arend each had apair of baskets for the red,white and blue in the quarter.

Defensively, I thought oureffort was very good, Lindercontinued. They had somevery good shooters and, forthe most part, we were able tolimit the amount of goodlooks they got.

Napoleon answered withthe first six points of the thirdquarter, trimming the deficitto 19-17 following twoLankenau foul shots.

A basket by Corbin Linder,followed by an Ethan Linder

bucket and a Corbin Lindertrey, helped the Raidersopened a 26-20 advantageafter three quarters.

Arend and Wenzlick started

the fourth quarter with con-secutive baskets to push thelead to 30-20 and, from thatpoint on, Wayne Trace settledin.

Napoleon got as close as30-24 after a Lankenaubucket but the Wildcatscouldnt cut into the deficitany further. The Raiders an-swered with six straight

points, culminated by anEthan Linder 3-point play, tograb a 36-24 lead and cruisedfrom there.

I thought we played hardtonight, added the Raidermentor. We were able to getcontributions from a lot ofdifferent players and they aregiving us quality minutes.That is something that wehave to continue to develop.

Corbin Linder led the Raiderefforts with 15 points whileWenzlick and Ethan Linderadded seven markers. Arendand Blackmore also chipped in
