From Staff Reports

The U.S Navy announcedearly Saturday that a sailor in- jured in the July 16 mass shoot-ing in Chattanooga, Tennessee,has died from his injuries. He isRandall Smith, 26, formerly ofPaulding. According to reports, NavyPetty Ofcer 2nd Class RandallSmith was a logistics specialist.He was a reservist serving onactive duty in Chattanooga. A graduate of Paulding HighSchool in 2007, he had attend-ed Deance College before joining the Navy. He and hiswife, Angie, have three youngdaughters. On Thursday, Smith was

among the wounded at the Navy Operational SupportCenter (NOSC) shooting thatleft four Marines dead. He sus-tained three gunshot woundsand underwent multiple surger-ies before succumbing to hisinjuries at 2:17 a.m. Saturday. Funeral service arrange-ments were still pending at press time Tuesday. Smith’sremains were own to DoverAir Force Base in Delaware,the same place where militarywar dead return to U.S. soil. Lisa McClure, director ofPaulding County Area Foun-dation, had been contacted byseveral people about starting

a fund for Smith’s daughters.On Tuesday, she said that IRSguidelines won’t allow thefoundation to set up a fund fora specic family; however, sheis looking into establishing afund through a local church or bank. More details should beavailable soon. Authorities said that Ku-wait-born Muhammad YoussefAbdulazeez, 24, of Tennessee,initiated a barrage of re at a re-

cruiting center in Chattanooga,

then drove several miles awayto a Navy and Marine reservecenter. He then shot and killedthe Marines and woundedSmith and two other men. Ab-dulazeez was then shot to death by police. Darlene Proxmire of Cecillearned early Saturday morningthat Smith, her stepgrandson,had died. Later that afternoon,she referred to Smith as a “verykind young man.” “You couldn’t ask for a bet-ter person,” said Proxmire. “Heloved his family. He had threelittle girls. He loved them somuch.” In Paulding High School,

Smith had been a star baseballathlete under head coach JoelParrett. (See related story.) Proxmire said that Smithlooked up to grandfather DonSmith, who passed away ofcancer. A Navy veteran, he hadalways wanted Smith to go intothe Navy. In fact, one of Smith’s last posts on his Facebook site justa few days before his shootingstated, “Today is a HUGE dayfor cancer research and aware-ness. Call 1-800-4jimmyv andmake a donation big or small because every penny helps.Help make a difference todaywho is ghting for tomorrow.

Cancer sucks.” Proxmire said that after asuccessful baseball career atPaulding, Smith was awardeda baseball scholarship to De-ance College. However, aftera disabling shoulder injury,Smith hung up his spikes and joined the Navy. Proxmire rst heard of thedeath from a voicemail by

Paulding grad among shooting victimsChattanooga gunman kills five service personnel, including Randall Smith

Angie and Randall Smith and their three daughters, earlier this spring.

Smith’s death brings bittersweet

memories to former coach

Randall Smith was a star play-er on the Paulding baseball team,earning a college scholarship.

By JIM LANGHAMFeature Writer

Former Paulding baseball coach Joel Parrettadmits that he is having a difcult time deal-ing with the passing of former Panther baseballstar Randall Smith, not only because of the sadloss of Smith’s young life, but because the for-mer star was also a teammate of Zach Arend,whose life was taken as a result of a BlufftonCollege bus accident in Atlanta several yearsago. Parrett noted that Smith’s father, TracySmith, was a valuable assetof his coaching staff duringthe time that both Arend andSmith were on the team.

“Tracy and the staff cametogether to help those kidsduring those times (of Ar-end’s accident),” said Par-rett. “Tracy did all he couldto help the kids through thattime. I think of how he wasthere for all of those kids; hewas the strong one. “As soon as he heard ofwhat happened to Randall,he left immediately,” contin-ued Parrett. “He has calledme twice since then. I feel so bad for him and his family.He was so concerned aboutthe Arends back in thosedays; now he had to makethe trip on behalf of his own

son. “Randall was doing all he could to help histeammates during that time,” added Parrett. Arend was a year older than Smith. He wasa senior on the Paulding team when Arend played for Bluffton. “The seniors all took that hard and Randallwas there for them. He wasn’t always that out-spoken, but he was always a leader by exam- ple,” noted Parrett. “Team members alwaysknew that he was around for them.” A year after Arend’s life was snuffed out inthat accident, Smith was awarded a baseball

scholarship to Deance College, not only be-cause of his athletic skills, but because he alsohad strong academic abilities. However, thatall ended when Smith suffered a career-end-ing injury and opted to go into military servicethrough the Navy. Due to his steady leadershipabilities, Smith’s decision to go into the mili-tary greatly pleased Parrett. Parrett said that Smith not only brought a lotof pride to his father, but also to his grandfa-ther. “He came in and did his job and did the best

he could to make his dadand grandpa and family proud, as well as makingthe school proud,” said Par-

rett. “That goes to being inthe military and serving hiscountry and serving others. “He was one of ourtop pitchers and was a good batter,” added Parrett. “I was pleasedwhen I heard he got intothe military. He had thequalities that were neededto make the most of whathe was doing,” continuedParrett. “He t in well withtheir team.” Parrett said that nomatter how much baseballhe has played or coached,there was no way he couldhave been prepared for

news like Smith’s tragedy. “I’m so proud of him. He lived his life theway he played the game of baseball,” Parrettsaid. “Within the past year, he stopped by theschool to see me on a couple of occasions. Italways means so much when former playersstop by. “He was happy with his life and loved hiswife and children. He was very happily mar-ried,” Parrett said. “We told each other howmuch we meant to each other. He was a greatexample in all that he did. His dad and grandpa played a big part in that.”

The sign at VFW Post #587 in Paulding pays tribute to for-mer resident Randall Smith. He graduated from Paulding HighSchool, which is in the background.

VFW to host fundraiser for family PAULDING – John Paulding VFW #587 is planning a free-will donation luncheon and bake sale from 1-4 p.m. Sunday,

‘Thank you, Randall Smith,’

says a grieving communityBy JIM LANGHAM

Feature Writer PAULDING – Word trav-eled quickly on Saturday

morning that a PauldingCounty man had given hislife on behalf of his country.Paulding High School gradu-ate Randall Smith, U.S. Navy,had lost his life as a result ofa senseless shooting outragein Chattanooga, Tenn. lastThursday. Normally jovial coffeeklatches in morning restau-rants were quiet; people sim- ply nodded to each other inthe aisles of local businessesand a sense of holy solitudeseemed to settle over thePaulding community. While most of the stunnedPaulding County residents

didn’t know what to say, one phrase seemed to be prevalentamong all, “Thank you, Ran-dall Smith.”

“I don’t know at all whatto say, but I have been think-ing of his family and whatthey must be going through.I know how hard it is tolose a loved one,” comment-ed Jeanne Guyton Gribble.“Thank you for serving forour country, Randall Smith.” Payne residents Shaneand Georgia Dyson said thatthey hope that Smith’s fam-ily members will note thetremendous outpouring thatfollows the senseless actthat took their son and real-ize what a high regard thateveryone has for their fallensoldier.

“Giving of one’s life foryour country is the highest actof patriotism possible,” com-mented Georgia Dyson. “Wewant this family to know thattheir son is a true patriot andhis bravery and valor are evi-dent. He died defending free-dom for the country he lovedso dear and we feel so indebt-ed to him for his extreme sac-rice.” “My husband, Tito, playedcards with Randall’s dad,”noted Katie Diaz. “Whensomething like this happenswith people we connect with,it really brings the ugliness ofsacrice to our small town.In a small town, we discuss politics, war and major eventsat the coffee shop, but rarelydo these things actually comeinto our town.” “Every night at dinner wethank the Lord for our soldierswho ght for our freedom

and that they will come homesafely,” commented MandyLynn Shelton, whose husband, Lester, is also a formerPaulding High School athlete.“I am disgusted to learn thatour soldiers are banned fromcarrying weapons while inmilitary facilities. Had thesemen been armed, I’m sure thatthe outcome would have beenso much different.

“We will continue to re-member all of our soldiers in prayer,” added Shelton. “It seems so much differ-ent when it comes from ourhometown,” commented JoeGuyton. “You read about people giving their lives for ourcountry, but when it happensto someone who comes fromour own community, it really brings it home.”

Eichers celebrate anniversary;wedding countdown is on

Elizabeth’s dogs are always by her side, even when she’s bus-

ily sewing family clothes for her wedding.

Today, July 14, is son Benja-min’s 16th birthday. We want to bake him a cake, but I forgot toask him what kind he wants be-fore he left for work at 5:30 a.m.With eight children it’s hard toremember which is everyone’sfavorite. Tomorrow, July 15, my hus-

band Joe and I will have our twen-ty-second wedding anniversary.Where have all the years gone?It hardly seems possible that it’s been that many years. We haveso many blessings to thank ourHeavenly Father for. I rememberon the morning of our weddingwhen my mother, some of mysisters and I got all the chicken inskillets on the kerosene stoves tofry. Mom, sister Liz, and her husband Levi took care of the chick-en until the cooks came to takeover. Eighteen skillets of chickenwere used to fry 300 pounds ofchicken. We started frying chick-en at 4:15 a.m. I helped until itwas time to get ready before the

guests started arriving between6:30 to 7:00 a.m. Daughter Elizabeth is back towork at the RV factory after twoweeks of vacation. I think she is probably having more of a va-cation back at work! She put insome long days helping cleanand sew here at home. It’s hardto get her to take it easy, but Itold her she has to be carefulwith having had double pneu-monia. She still feels weak fromit. Timothy and Elizabeth’swedding is now a month away.Elizabeth sewed everyoneclothes for the wedding exceptshe still needs to sew her and

Susan a white cape and apronthat they will wear at the wed-ding. Mose and Susan will betheir witnesses. The bride andgroom both choose witnesses soTimothy will choose some fromhis family. We were surprised on Thurs-day with a visit from UncleJoe and Betty from Geneva,Indiana and Uncle Menno andMartha from Phoenix, Arizona.Menno and Martha were out inthe Berne, Ind. area to attendthe annual Coblentz reunion.We were unable to attend butsounds like the Coblentzs hada lot of fun—like usual. Mennoand Joe are my Dad’s brothers.

Sunday evening Timothy’sfamily surprised Elizabeth witha birthday cake for her June 14th birthday. Timothy’s sister-in-law

Rachel made and decorated thecake. This is now Wednesday morn-ing and I need to nish this. Weended up making a chocolatecake for Benjamin’s birthdaylast night. He didn’t want us to

Ohio’s state operating budgetkeeps us on the right path Last month, the GeneralAssembly and the Governorworked together to nish the process of passing the stateoperating budget, which deter-mines state funding for FY 16and FY 17. Stretching back toFebruary, when Governor Ka-sich introduced his budget pro- posal, this process is one thatrequires an enormous amountof work by legislators and staff,and represents one of our mostimportant duties as state repre-sentatives.Am. Sub. House Bill 64, thestate operating budget bill, wasrst introduced in the OhioHouse. Many changes weremade to the original propos-al, including a 6.3 across-the- board income tax cut. The billthen moved to the Ohio Sen-ate, where additional changeswere made, and nally, the twochambers concurred on the billand ironed out all of the chang-es and compromises. I believe that the version ofthe state operating budget thatwas signed into law last monthis going to be good for Ohio-ans of all walks of life. We willsee nearly $1.9 billion in tax

cuts over the next two years,including the aforementionedincome tax cut. Continuing inthat trend, the bill institutes a 75 percent tax deduction for small businesses on the rst $250,000of income in 2016 and a 100 percent deduction in 2017.

This continues the recenttrend in our state of supportingsmall business owners and en-suring that Ohioans keep moremoney in their wallets.

Throughout this process, Iworked hard to ensure that sev-eral provisions were included inthe bill. I submitted an amend-ment to allocate funding for the

Ohio Secretary of State to sendabsentee ballot requests state-

wide. I see this as a positive stepin securing equal voting rightsfor all Ohioans. I also supportedefforts throughout the process toincrease indigent defense fund-ing for our local governments by about ten percent.

A Penny for Your Thoughts

By Nancy Whitaker

You may be a redneck if . . .

Does anyone know what a“redneck is?” We have heard jokes and stories about thefolks who are from the southand Jeff Foxworthy has madea ton of money with his jokesand quotes about rednecks.A few of Foxworthy’s quotesare – “you might be a redneckif . . . you have the local taxi-dermist’s number on speed

dial; you’ve ever hit a deerwith your car...deliberately;your school ght song wasDueling Banjos; you’ve evergiven rat traps as gifts; yourcoffee table used to be a cablespool; you keep a can of Raidon the kitchen table; yourmother has “ammo” on herChristmas list; there are morethan ve McDonald’s bags inyour car; and your tail lightsare made of red tape.” We think these are funnyand describes a typical red-neck. We may picture a red-neck as a poor class, silly, bluecollar worker from the hillsand that is the persona they

have been perceived as. Now I have seen some of theso called Redneck pictures onthe web and you got to handit to them for their creativity.Who would think of makinga swimming pool in the bedof their pickup? Or, taking awatermelon rind, cutting legholes in it, attaching a ropeand making a baby swing?While the baby swings, he canalso chew on the front of thewatermelon. Another idea wasusing an eight pronged rake,running hot dogs through the prongs and roasting all the hotdogs at one time. So actuallyredneck ideas aren’t all that

bad (or good). Earlier this week a goodfriend of mine told me someof the history of the term red-neck. I was amazed to learnthat the term redneck even

had a history. The story, whichtakes place in West Virgin-ia tells of the Battle of BlairMountain. The battle was onewhich included men ghtingalong side of the union for saf-er mining conditions.

On Aug. 7, 1921, just oneweek after a Sid Hateld had been murdered on the steps ofthe McDowell County Court-house, Frank Keeney, the

president of the UMWA Dis-trict 17, gave a stirring speechto thousands of miners on thecapitol grounds in Charleston.He told the crowd that therewas no justice in West Vir-ginia and declared, “The onlyway you can get your rightsis with a high powered rie!”He then told the miners to gohome and await the call tomarch.

And march they did. Over10,000 miners, wearing red bandanas around their necksto identify themselves carveda path of rebellion fromCharleston to the doorstep ofLogan County. Mine guards

and miners fought it out un-til federal troops intervened.Over 500 “rednecks” werecharged with treason, mur-der, and conspiracy to com-mit murder. The state used

coal company lawyers in the prosecution, and their owngovernor testied against theminers. Among those charged,of course, were the leaders ofthe movement: Frank Keeney,Fred Mooney, and Bill Bliz-zard.

Sometimes this historygets lost through the years, but Blair Mountain is now on

the National Register of His-toric Places. One resident ofWest Virginia said, “We areindebted to those who haveworked to preserve this his-toric landmark and save BlairMountain from becoming an-other casualty of a coal opera-tor’s greed.” Some say the term redneckcame from those ghting coalminers who wore red bandan-as around their neck as theyfought that battle on BlairMountain. I have relativesfrom the south and I would probably call them, and my-self, a redneck. My great-grandpa Pelfry

worked in a coal mine in Ken-tucky way before the Battle ofBlair Mountain. He was some-what of a redneck also. Onenight as he was walking homefrom work, being thirsty andcreative he used his hands toscoop up some water to havea drink from a owing spring.He should have known better, because when he scooped upthe cold water, he happened toscoop up a lizard, swallowedit and died the next day.

Maybe we are all rednecksat heart. Most of those whocall themselves rednecks are proud of their heritage andthat battle of Blair Mountain.

Now, do you know anythingabout Rednecks? Do you thinkyou may be one? I know I am but you let me know and I’llgive you a Penny for YourThoughts.

Fireflies: summer’s night light

Go out and enjoy the reies before they are gone and sum-

mer is over!

By STACI MILLER Education specialist

Paulding SWCD It’s summertime and thenight skies are lit up with theuttering lights of reies orlightening bugs. Many of usremember the joys of being achild and catching reies onthose warm summer nights.There are over 2,000 reyspecies according to National

Geographic. Fireies are ac-tually beetles not ies; theyare nocturnal members of thefamily Lampyridae. Fireiescan grow to nine centimetersin length and are easily identi-ed by their at bodies, black -ish backs, large eyes, and shortantennae. These insects live in avariety of warm environments,as well as in more temperate re-gions and even in our backyard.Fireies thrive in forests, eldsand marshes near lakes, rivers, ponds, streams and vernal pools.They need a moist environmentto survive. Fireies are primar -ily carnivorous. Larvae usuallyeat snails and worms and adult

reies usually live off of nectarand pollen. Everyone knows how re-ies got their name, but many people don’t know how theinsects produce their signatureglow or ray of light. Fireieshave dedicated light organs thatare located under their abdo-mens. The insects take in ox-

ygen and, inside special cells,combine it with a substancecalled luciferin to produce lightwith almost no heat. Because it produces no heat, scientists referto rey lights as “cold lights.”Firey lights are the most ef-cient lights in the world—100%of the energy is emitted as light.Fireflies communicate witheach other through their light.Fireies emit light mostly to

attract mates, but also for otherreasons as well, such as to de-fend territory and to warn pred-ators to keep away. In mostspecies, the male and female both glow; often the male willy, while females will wait intrees, shrubs and grasses to spotan attractive male. If she ndsone, she’ll signal it with a ash

of her own light.Fireflies have a very

short life span. An adult re-y lives only long enough tomate and lay eggs which is approximately two months. Fe-males deposit their eggs in theground, which is where larvaedevelop to adulthood. Even theeggs and larvae of reies canemit light.

I encourage you to go out

and observe the reies in your backyard, maybe even get your jar out and catch some reies.Enjoy these wonders of naturewhile they are still around.Even though it has been a wetand rainy summer, the reiesare a constant reminder that itis summertime, so go out andenjoy the summer lights.
