Missing Indiana woman found dead

Workers found the body of a Fort Wayne woman, missing since last week, outside this vacant house on Road

1 (State Line Road) Monday morning. Authorities believe Wilma Schwartz (above) d ied elsewhere.

By MELINDA KRICK Progress Editor

ANTWERP – Discovery of a bodyat an abandoned home on the StateLine Road on Monday morning haslaunched a homicide investigation.

The individual has been identiedas Wilma A. Schwartz, age 44, ofFort Wayne. Schwartz had been listed as a miss-ing person on March 9 by the FortWayne Police Department. Sheriff Jason Landers said depu-ties were called to 10488 Road 1 at10:38 a.m. southwest of Antwerp onMarch 14 for a report of a dead bodylying in a yard.

Construction workers arrived atthe residence, which is abandoned, totear down a garage when they founda woman’s body in the grass. The body had no identication.

Authorities identied her later in theday and released her name at 10:46 p.m. “This is being treated as a homi-cide,” said Landers. “Agents withthe Attorney General’s Ofce Crime

Scene Investigation Unit were onscene to assist my staff with pro-cessing potential evidence, as wellas making identication of the de-ceased. “We brought in our partners fromAllen County, Indiana, as a resourcedue to the geographic location of thisscene, as we do not have any missingfemales reported here,” said SheriffLanders. “It appears the deceasedhad been there for several hours.” An autopsy will be ordered by thePaulding County Coroner to assistinvestigators determine the cause ofdeath.

“We do not believe this is theoriginal crime scene,” said Land-ers. “There is no evidence wherethe body was discovered that showsus she died where she was found. Itappears her body was placed on this

abandoned property.” The site where the woman’s bodywas found is just south of Ohio 111,directly east of Woodburn. A spokesman for the Fort WaynePolice Department said Tuesday thatSchwartz had been missing sinceMarch 8 and it was reported to policeMarch 9. The spokesman could notdisclose who made the missing per-sons report. Schwartz, who resided on RehmDrive in Fort Wayne, was describedas a white female, 5-foot-1, 120

Seldom-heard facts about St. Patrick’s Day There are many things the public knows about Saint Pat-rick’s Day, but there’s muchthey may not know about theholiday or Irish-American her-itage for that matter. Here aresome facts and trivia that mightsurprise even the most devotedof Patty’s Day revelers. • Despite St. Patrick beingalive centuries earlier, St. Pat-

rick’s Day celebrations didn’t begin until 1737. • More people of Irish her -itage live in the United Statesthan currently live in all of Ire-land. Irish-Americans livingstateside predominantly residein the North Atlantic states. • Saint Patrick angered theCeltic Druids many times byconverting pagans to Christiani-

ty. The Druids put him in jail onnumerous occasions. • Green is not the ofcial col-or afliated with Saint Patrick.It is really blue. However, green became a familiar hue during thenineteenth century more for be-ing associated with the magic ofIrish legends than Saint Patrickhimself. • The three-leaf shamrockhas more historical signi-cance with regards to SaintPatrick’s day than a four-leafclover. That’s because the

three leaves were believed to be used by St. Patrick to ex- plain the Christian doctrine ofthe Holy Trinity, where Godexists as three persons.

• For 67 years, Saint Patrick’sDay was a “dry” holiday in Ire-land. James O’Mara, a memberof Irish parliament, introduceda bill in 1903 that made SaintPatrick’s Day a religious holidayin the country. Therefore, local pubs were obligated to close.The law was overturned in 1970. • According to their website,Hallmark has been selling greenSaint Patrick’s Day cards sincethe early 1920s, now selling asmany as 15 million annually. • Contrary to popular belief,

Ireland does not top the list withrespect to showing Irish pride. New York City boasts the larg-est parade honoring the holidayand Irish heritage.

thing was dry. It sure gives a person spring fever. It was sogood to be able to wash, dry,and fold clothes in one dayand have it all put away. Wehad an extra huge amount oflaundry as we washed some bedding, coats, etc. Today it is cloudy and nosun but it is still nice to be ableto have a few windows open.So nice to smell the fresh air blowing in. Susan’s friend Mose camelast night to cook down somemore sap into maple syrup.Since it has warmed up again,the sap is really running fromthe maple trees.

Son Joseph, 13, is now get-ting around without crutches.He still favors the leg and itstill gets painful if he overdoesit. He walks with a limp but is back to milking our cow Bessieevery morning and evening. Son-in-law Timothy is stillnot allowed to put weight onhis foot. It is improving moreevery day, but he is so readyto walk without the aid ofcrutches. Daughter Elizabethhad plans to come spend theday here but Timothy endedup being sick this morning soshe stayed home with him. She plans to come tomor-row, which I always lookforward to. I didn’t see hersince last Friday so we havelots of visiting to catch up on.Daughter Lovina, 11, spent theweekend with Timothy andElizabeth helping out wherev-er needed. She loves spending

time over there. Saturday we helped sisterEmma and Jacob butcher twohogs. We were done early inthe afternoon. The hogs weresmaller than ours so thingswent a little faster. Pon hosswas made and lard rendered.We had breakfast pizza for breakfast, along with choco-late chip bars, jello cake, and peanut butter pies. For lunch the menu con-sisted of fried pork tender-loin, mashed potatoes, gravy,dressing, corn, macaroni sal-ad, celery and carrot sticks,sliced cheese, tomato slices,and jalapeños that sisters Ver-ena and Susan brought homefrom Florida. The desserts leftover from breakfast were alsoon the menu plus ice cream. My sisters had a nice timein Florida. Glad they are backhome. Saturday afternoon as Mosewas bottling the maple syrup,some enjoyed ice cream withmaple syrup as a topping. Ididn’t try it but the ones thatdid really liked it. Daughter Verena spent theweekend in a community inIndiana at a friend’s house.With Verena and Lovina bothnot home, the house seemedempty. Sunday afternoon we hadJoe’s cousin Leander, wifeRosina, and family as our

visitors. We enjoyed popcornwhile we visited. They havefour married sons and onelives only a few miles fromus. They had supper with theirson Leander and wife Karen. We spent the day just at

home relaxing. With my husband Joe working every otherSaturday and butchering in between on Saturday, we wereglad to rest.

Burkley offers

vote clarificationDear Editor, The amount of support I’vereceived from men and wom-en in the area over the pastseveral weeks has been trulyremarkable and humbling, and

I am beyond grateful for it. There has been one issuethroughout the course of thecampaign that I believe de-serves some clarication, andthat is in regards to the ideathat I raised my own pay. To clarify, there was a provision in last year’s state budget that increased pay forlocal ofcials, such as at thecounty and township levels.I voted for it because the payfor local ofcials had not been raised in nearly a de-cade, and it was time to makethat adjustment. No piece oflegislation has been signedinto law that would raise the

pay for state-level elected of-cials like myself. I am proud of my votingrecord in the Ohio House, andI believe our state will con-tinue to make progress if weremain true to our values andconservative principles.

Ten Commandments for Open Meetings

By Brian J. Hunhoff “I think heroic deeds were all conceived in the open air.” The quote atop this editorial is from Walt Whitman’s Song of the

Open Road – a cheerful 1856 tribute to freedom and the great out-doors. Hopefully, Mr. Whitman would have approved use of his proseto promote open, well-aired government. It’s unlikely the great poetfavored government secrecy and closed-door meetings. He also wrote,“Out of the dark connement, out from behind the screen!” For today’s purposes, Whitman’s “screen” represents the executivesession — a self-important term fora classic oxymoron: closed publicmeeting. Too many elected boards seekevery opportunity to meet out ofsight of the public they serve. Someschedule executive sessions as aregular agenda item. Some hold upto three executive sessions in a sin-gle meeting. Some have executivesessions that last longer than theopen portion of their meeting. In most cases, executive sessionsdo not violate open meeting laws.The closed-door discussions areoften suggested or encouraged byan elected board’s legal counsel. But legality and necessity are twodifferent things. Consider the following list our Fourth Estate counsel to county com-missions, city councils, and school boards everywhere on executivesessions and general government openness. Citizens should hold theirelected ofcials to the standards below. These are Ten Commandmentsfor Open Meetings: ONE: Do not gather as a quorum outside of regular meetings, anddo not hold special meetings without giving at least 24 hours publicnotice. TWO: Do not habitually add last-minute items to the agenda, anddo not act on anything not listed on the posted agenda. THREE: Do not abuse the litigation excuse for executive sessionsto speculate about possible or imagined lawsuits. FOUR: Do not stretch the personnel excuse for executive sessionsto discuss policy issues. Example: Creating a new position or changinga department’s job descriptions are policy decisions and not appropri-ate topics for a closed meeting. FIVE: Do not dial up the “negotiations” excuse to suddenly ex-clude the public from discussion of controversial issues that were pre-viously aired thoroughly in open session. SIX: Do not allow executive session conversations to stray to othertopics. SEVEN: Do not violate the spirit of the open meeting law withfrequent phone, email or text dialogues with other members. Reachconsensus at the meeting. EIGHT: Do not make a habit of whispering or passing notes atmeetings. You were elected to speak for us. Tell what you have to sayout loud and proud! NINE: Allow public input at every meeting. Include it on everyagenda. TEN: Be as transparent as possible. Do not hold executive sessionssimply because counsel advised it is “legal” to do so. Ask yourself: “Isit absolutely critical we discuss this privately?”

That should be the standard because legality and necessity are twodifferent things. We appreciate our local commissioners and board members. Theyserve for minimal compensation. They make tough decisions. Theysometimes lose friends and make enemies. Their dedication to com-munity is admirable. We simply ask elected ofcials to think twice before kicking the public out of public meetings. Strive for fewer. Less is more. A closed meeting should be a rareoccasion, not a habit.

Angels, coins and rainbows Have you ever prayed for protection asking God to puthis guardian angels around youand your loved ones? I believein angels because rst of allthey are mentioned in the Bi- ble at least 105 times in the OldTestament and 165 in the New.So many times I have felt the presence of angels, sometimesduring a tough time in my life

and sometimes during goodtimes. Angels are spiritual be-ings who constantly draw our at-tention towards signs, clues andhints which serve to nudge usin the right direction. Angels arealways near and any sign fromthese powerful spiritual beings,however small it may be, is a beautiful and symbolic reminderof their love and support. There have been occurrencesaround me and my family that Iknow there has been some divineintervention. Just recently, whiledriving home from a music gig, Ihad a ash in my mind to watchout for something ahead. Rightafter that, two deer ran acrossthe road and it just seemed like Ispotted them right away. To me,this is what guardian angels do.

They say there are signs wemay run into, that lets us knowthere are angels among us. Find-ing feathers on your path is oneof them. Finding feathers of anycolor, they report is a beautifulreminder that angels are near,loving and supporting us from behind the scenes. A white feath-er in an unusual place is anothersign from angels.

You can sometimes see cloudswhich look like angels or haveyou ever noticed a sweet scentand been unable to identify it? Now this sign to me blows mymind (so to speak) because re-search tells us that guardian an-

gels may bring a scent of a love-ly rich chocolatey smell. Other times I have smelled awhiff of my grandmas’s perfumeand this leads me to believe myangel is nearby. In the presenceof the angels, babies, small chil-dren and animals are said to be atease, comforted and excited.

Some people say they haveheard singing or music comingfrom outside the physical world.

Sometimes you will hear a cer-tain song and it may trigger agood memory and make yourwhole day brighter. Lots of people believe that angels can com-municate through music. I am always interested in pen-nies. Whenever I nd a pennyin an unusual place, I alwayssay, “Thank you Mom,” as shewas probably one of the world’s biggest penny lovers. If you nda coin, look at the date and seeif it has a special meaning foryou. When you nd a coin knowthat it was deliberately placed onyour path, and is a symbol illus-trating you’re loved, supportedand guided.

Angels are also beings oflight. Unexpected light ashes or

a bright star catches your atten-tion breathe, relax, and if you’reready your angel may envelopyou within the angelic glow to bring you healing, and encour-agement. A rainbow is a common symbol of divine love. A rainbow orbaround the moon, a double rainbow or a rainbow appearing andit is not raining are extra spectac-

ular signs from the angels andHeaven. Sometimes you can feel thetouch of an angel or get a feel-ing that someone just walked byyou. Angels may reach out toyou and you can feel their armswrapped around you. Have youever received a strong messagein your mind which seems toappear out of thin air, you may be experiencing the guidanceof your angels. Don’t assumeyou’re making it up!

Contained within the signs theangels leave us is an innite pos-sibility for growth and positivetransformation. The key is to be present, and aware, and to lookfor the signs from the angels.Angels have a way of makingtheir presence known and youmay experience them in a waythat’s not listed. Many songs have been writ-ten about angels. Sometimes wecall our loved one “an angel.”Then sometimes we may callsomeone “an angel with horns.”I believe in angel signs and mes-sages. Do you? Remember thissaying: “A feather, a rainbow, acoin in your view, are all signsyour angels are standing withyou.” – Mary Jac Have you had any kind of di-vine experience with an angel being close? Let me know andI’ll give you a Penny for Your

Thoughts.
