    Old jail hasnew owner

    By JOE SHOUSEProgress Staff Writer

      The old Paulding County Jailhas been sold again.  On April 2, the sale of the jailwas completed with former VanWert County resident ShellyBurk Robertson purchasing thelandmark for $15,000.  The jail escaped demolition in2013 when All Trades Historical

    Restoration from Tampa, Fla., purchased the historic structurefor just under $12,000. Aftersome limited work, both interi-or and exterior, the building, forthe most part, has received littleattention from its owners.  Because Paulding is some dis-tance from the restoration busi-ness’s headquarters and the dif-culty of maintaining the structure,it was later offered for sale.  Purchasing the building was just a stroke of luck, according tothe new owner.  “One of the guys who wasworking on the jail put a noticeon Facebook advertising the saleof the jail. A relative saw the adand contacted me about it,” Rob-ertson said.  “I am from the area and my

    family members have lived inPaulding County for many years.My father is from Scott,” shesaid.  Currently living in Indianapo-lis, Robertson, who heads up 187P.I., a paranormal research group, plans to restore the building andturn it into a historical museumthat will strongly display the inte-rior of the building and its alleged

    dark past.  “We plan to get started soonand pick up where the formerowners left off. Our plan is to dis- play artifacts from the building aswell as depicting the history ofthe former jail,” she said.  Robertson has already been incontact with some of the area’sleaders and is excited about the purchase and is looking forwardto getting started and seeing whatcan be discovered in their re-search.  “We’ve been looking for a piece of property to do paranor-mal research and this building is perfect. We have heard many sto-ries about the jail and its historyand we are ready to proceed withour research,” Robertson con-cluded.

      Jury selection is the luck of the draw By JOE SHOUSE

    Progress Staff Writer  PAULDING – Jury duty. Just thesound of that phrase makes you squirma little. It’s one of those lists you don’twant your name on and you wonderhow it mysteriously got there to beginwith. Last Friday I went on a little eldtrip to see if I could get some answers.If my name is ever going to show up onthe “jury list” I want to know how it got

    there. So, here’s the deal.  There is a group of six who gath-ers together on the second oor of thecourthouse three times a year and theygo through a process to determine whomakes the cut. It’s not all that scienticand I guess you could say that it’s theluck of the draw.  The names and faces who make upthe panel of six that spends nearly threehours compiling the list are Judge Tiffa-ny Beckman, two jury commissioners,Clerk of Courts Ann Pease, Sheriff Ja-

    son Landers and Kacey Willitzer.  The two jury commissioners, oneRepublican and one Democrat, are EdStraley and Jack Moore, both appointed by Judge Beckman. Willitzer serves asthe typist who, once the names are de-termined, logs their information into thecomputer for processing.  Names selected for possible jury dutyis provided by the board of elections.

    “It’s a very random process,” said

    Judge Beckman. “For example, we cantell the election board to start with thethird name on the eligible voting list andthen proceed by giving us every-oth-er-name. Each time, it’s different andwe do the jury duty list three times ayear.”  Once the list of prospects is received,each name, address and precinct num- ber is included on a label. The label is placed in what is called a jury wheel.

     Wayne Trace NHSbenefit run raises $5K 

    By JIM LANGHAM

    Feature Writer  PAYNE – Crowds of local supporters gath-ered between the Payne Elementary School and ball diamond on Saturday evening in support ofa Wayne Trace National Honor Society fund-raiser for the family of young Chase Holt.  In the end, over 200 participated in the eventand the Honor Society was able to contribute$5,000 to the Holt cause.  “This is the third annual ‘Glow in the Dark’race that the National Honor Society has done,”commented NHS co-advisor Joni Klopfenstein.“Each one seems to get more support.”  Student leaders Kayla Zuber and Scott Wen-ninger helped plan the event.  “All the kids of the National Honor Societyhave worked hard on this,” said Heather Hatch-er, also a co-advisor for the group. “The hon-or society kids encouraged others to become

    involved with this. They also have personallyhelped with the race.”  Chase Holt is aficted with a conditionknown as neurobromatosis, a disease that brings tumors to the ber in the nervous sys-tem.

      “Where there are nerves, there is tumor pa-ralysis,” commented Holt’s father, Christopher.“He is currently paralyzed in his left arm. It isquite common for hearing problems to developwith this disease.”  Holt noted that cataracts can develop on theeyes and it is not unusual for victims to developsmall brain tumors and tumors on the auditorynerve.  Holt’s condition was discovered three yearsago when he was playing in the annual mar-athon at Payne Elementary. His lift arm wentlimp. Since then he has had three spinal surger-ies in an attempt to help that arm.  Holt said that the average life expectancy of achild with such a disease is 36 years. Currently,he is on an experimental trial of meds designedto suppress tumor development.  “We are so thankful for all of the support ofthis community. While the community is sup-

     porting our emotional and spiritual needs, weare overwhelmed by the way the communityis doing all it can help support our nancialneeds,” observed Holt.  “If it wasn’t for the community’s support, wewouldn’t know where to turn,” said Holt.

    Jim Langham/Paulding County Progress

      In a way to show support, runners of all ages participated in the “Glow In the Dark” fundraiserat Payne on Saturday. Money raised is going to the Holt family whose son, Chase, is dealing witha rare nervous system disorder.

      After opening the tumbler that holds all the names of jury duty prospects, EdStraley begins the drawing of names for grand jury. A total of 425 names are drawn.

    Schnepp victim number three tells his story   PAULDING – From the beginning, whenBarry Vance courageously came forward withhis hidden secret from when he was a studentin the Paulding school system, several articleshave been written. As an early teen, Vance, whois now in his mid-40s, has publicly expressed tothe Paulding Exempted Village School Board,on more than one occasion, and to the mediahow he was molested by then teacher DonaldSchnepp.

      The details and the stories have been welldocumented over the past several months.Details, whether trueor not, should sickenanyone, especiallythose who are in a position to lead andteach children andwho are often timeslooked up to as onewho can be trusted.  During this “black-eye” era for PauldingExempted Village

    Schools, or for that matter, for the entire commu-nity, it has always burned within my heart andsoul why any grown man would put themselveson the block like Barry Vance (victim one) and

    David Kincaid (victim two), if none of this istrue.  There is certainly nothing for them to gain by fabricating an untruth. But after carrying thehumiliation, the pain, and the scars for over 30years, they come forward seeking a measure ofvictory in a situation where everyone is so de-feated.  Several months ago, Kincaid, a well-respect-ed business man living in Deance, put hisreputation on the line and like Vance, risked itall, to come forward and announce that he, too,was innocently taken advantage of by Schnepp.Therefore, in keeping record, Kincaid becomes

    victim number two.  It appeared the story Vance and Kincaid wassharing about their “Schnepp experience” had asimilar thread woven within the fabric of theirstories. Here were two young boys that may nothave had as much as some other neighborhoodkids, a father gure in their lives may not have been there all the time and they just wanted to tin and be a part of the crowd.  The crowd that Vance and Kincaid would be

    referring to would be the athletes, the jocks, whowould be frequent visitors at Schnepp’s house,and those other kids that maybe didn’t quitemeasure up socially desperately wanted to sim- ply t in – to be a part of the crowd.  In dealing with this story from the beginningand to some extent investigating some of thelong-ago allegations, I was quite positive that Iwould not hear the end of this saga and some-where victim number three existed and wouldsoon make an appearance.  Well, sure enough, out of the blue, it hap- pened. Last Thursday, while working at the Paulding Progress ofce, the call came andvictim three was on the other end of the line,ready to share his story. We talked for nearly anhour and it was a good conversation. In fact, hethanked me for listening and he expressed howhe felt better sharing his heart, the truth, his ex-

     perience, as despicable as it sounded.  He gave me his name and even permission to publish it and to tell his unfortunate life-chang-ing moments with Schnepp. I have wrestled withthe idea of publishing his name and although hegave me the okay, I have decided not to.  Sure, his name is important, but far more im- portant than a name is a life and the character ofthat life that was destroyed when he was an earlyteen. So, for now, with all due respect, I simplywill refer to him as victim number three. If youare keeping record, then mark it down, this isvictim number three.  In detail, he described how Schnepp ap-

     proached him and the language he used to tryto coerce this vulnerable 13- or 14-year-old togive in to Schnepp’s sexual advances, to performunlawful sexual acts. And when it was all over,Schnepp waved $40 (two $20 bills) in front ofa scared youngster and reminded him to remainquiet about what took place.  It was after that initial advance that Schneppstarted calling victim three’s house on a regular basis.

      “He would call and talk to my mom abouthaving me come over to do chores for him. Hewould call so often that nally my mom told himto stop and not call anymore.”  Interestingly, victim three attended the lastPaulding school board meeting. Driving fromanother state, he arrived later than expectedand didn’t have time to talk to Vance prior tothe meeting. But more important than having aconversation with Barry turned out to be the con-versation he had with his 20-year-old son whoaccompanied him on his trip to Paulding.  “I knew the time had come for me to tellmy son. On our way to Paulding on the day ofthe school board meeting, I told him what hadhappened to me and to Barry. I told him that wewere going to Paulding to the school board meet-ing because Barry was to be there and he neededmy support. A teacher had done some bad things

    to him and the same teacher did things to me.”  But as difcult as it is to talk about somethingthat took place 30 years ago, victim three facedhis son with uncertainty as they traveled thosemany miles to Paulding.  “It was a horrible thing that happened to me aswell as to the others. It was time. I had to comeclean with him,” said victim three. “My son un-derstood. He wasn’t interested in details, he justlistened and understood as he tried to process itall.”  Victim three, who is married with children andgrand- children and loves riding his Harley Da-vidson, has shared his longtime secret with his

    wife and, as difcult as it was, he is glad he did.  “It wasn’t easy to do, but it felt good to beopen with my wife and kids. To come clean andlet them know what happened, to assure themtheir husband, dad, even grandpa was not whatSchnepp had tried to destroy him into becom-ing,” he said.  After hearing from friends and relatives aboutwhat Vance was going through and how he wassharing his story and his desire to see changes

    take place, victim three knew he had to comeforward and support Barry.  “Barry is not a liar. What he has told is thetruth and I knew it was time for me to comeforward. To praise a pedophile in the school iswrong. The money associated with this wholesituation needs outof the school andthere should be noassociation madewith that pedo- phile,” said victimthree.  Victim one,victim two, now,victim three. Threeindividuals withnames, faces andlives – all dealing

    in their own waywith the pain ofsomething that forsome reason peo- ple want to ignore,deny, or simply forget. Yet, these three deserveso much more.  And sitting on my desk is a le containinga 1993 police report and investigation about afourth victim. At this point there is not a nameor even a face, but the day will come when thetelephone will ring and victim four will be readyto tell his story.  To be honest, keeping record is no fun at all.

     – Victim Number 3

      The ancient green metal ap- paratus or receptacle has been a part of the selection process ofmany years. In fact, no one onthe panel knows how old it is orhow it originally became a partof the selection. A small plateon the base of the wheel depictsthe name Dayton Envelope andLegal Company.  At 9 a.m., the drawing be-gan, with a total of 425 names being selected. The rst 25 areassigned to the grand jury listfollowed by 200 names forcounty court and 200 more forcommon pleas.

      On this particular day, Straleyrandomly selected one namefrom the old tumbler and pro-ceeded to pass it on to Moore,then to Pease, followed byLanders, Beckman and then toWillitzer for processing. Whilethe name is being passed, dis-cussion would take place ifnecessary about the prospect.  “Sometimes, if we know the person and they are currentlyin a rest home, or have movedfrom the county or passedaway, then the individual isrejected for obvious reasons,”said Straley, who is serving his

    fth year as commissioner, as isMoore.  The selection for being placed on a jury duty list is rath-er painless, much like servingon a jury. It is the opportunityto serve your community and atthe same time support our courtsystem. It may not be the listthat you want your name on butthere are many other lists farless reputable.  So, call it luck, consider it a privilege, quit your squirming,after all you are part of a selectgroup in Paulding County toserve in a good way.

    Early planting and making noodles

      The Eichers frequently have noodles with beef or chicken, soLovina rolled out, cut, and dried homemade noodles this week.

      April! Signs of spring areeverywhere! The early springowers are coming through.Also, rhubarb and horseradishare pushing through the soil.  My husband, Joe, plantedsome radishes, peas and sweetcorn this week. Time will tellif they will grow. We had rainyesterday and this forenoon.We have been getting some ofthe yard raked between rains. It

    looks like it’s turning nicer now.  The schoolchildren are en- joying their week off. Yes-terday we made noodles andcheese. I tried a different noo-dle recipe from the one I usual-ly use. The noodles turned outreally nice. We’ll have sometonight for supper. I was clearout of noodles, so it was timeto make more. I would like tomake a few more batches tostore for the weeks ahead. Welike beef and noodles or chick -en and noodles, so they don’tlast long around here.  Joe, Elizabeth, Susan, Ver -ena and Benjamin are allworking today. If the chil-

    dren weren’t home on spring break, I would be the only onehome. Verena is enjoying thework she does. She does someofce work and helps a ladywith organic gardening. Theywill sell produce, among oth-er items, at ea markets thissummer.  On Good Friday Joe and Iand some of the children at-tended the wedding of Ben- jamin and Elizabeth. Weenjoyed getting to visit withaunts, uncles, cousins andfriends. We arrived back homearound 5:30 p.m.

    We received several morewedding invitations. Con-

    gratulations to nephew Johnand Arlene! They chose May29 for their special day. Ourneighbor boy Joe and hisspecial friend, Susie, were published in our church onSunday for a June 4 wedding.Congratulations to them aswell! I have been asked to be acook at both weddings.  We have three little pigshere now. We have extra milkfrom our cow, Bessie, to helpfeed them. Son Kevin, 9, won-dered if he could give the pigsnames. I told him it would be better to not make friends withthem as they will be our meatnext winter.

      I still remember when I wasa little girl and my parents

     butchered one of our favoriteold milk cows named Whitey.We had a hard time thinking

    about her being the beef wewere eating. After that, Dadnever butchered the milkcows. He would raise other beef for that. An older cowdoesn’t make good steaks likea younger steer does.  This week, I’ll share thenoodle recipe with readers.God bless you!

    LEATHERMAN1918-2015

      OAKWOOD – One couldsay Jessie M. Leatherman hadtwo passions in life, family andfarming. After living a full life ofloving her family and working thesoil, Jessie, age 96, passed away

    in her home in Oakwood on Sat-urday April 11. It was a beautifulspring day, full of warmth andsunshine, like the heart of JessieLeatherman.  Born onSept. 29,1918 to par -ents Arthurand Elsie(Stephens)Schick, Jes-sie grew upon the fam-ily farm. She was no stranger tothe hard work required to raiseanimals and grow crops. In fact,she loved every minute of it andwould make farming her life’s

    work.  In 1932, Jessie met Beryl Rich-ard Leatherman for the rst time.Beryl would later say, “It was loveat rst sight.” They were mar -ried on Nov. 5, 1938 and begana small farm with two cows,25 laying hens and two pigs.Beryl and Jessie were a veryhappy couple and shared alove that carried them throughthe ups and downs of life. Itwas this love that sustainedJessie, when, after 54 years ofmarriage, Beryl passed away.  In 1944, Beryl and Jessie purchased a house and ground

    south of Oakwood where Jes-sie lived until her death. It wasat that home where the farmand the family grew. Jessieand Beryl were blessed withsix children: Joyce (Darhl)Fuller of Oakwood, Gary(Amy) Leatherman of Doug-lasville, Ga., Kathy (Randy)Hoops of Napoleon, Carol(Larry) Singer of Oakwood,Steve (Karen) Leatherman of

    Oakwood and Janice (Rob-ert) Merriman, Paulding. Jes-sie’s children were her prideand joy. She loved openingher home to her children andtheir families and especiallyfor large holiday gatheringsat Christmas, Easter, andThanksgiving. Jessie’s hospi-tality and mother’s heart wasextended to everyone. Shegreeted visitors by asking ifthey would like something todrink and before they knewit, they were eating a plate offried eggs and home fries.  Jessie’s eyes lit up when shesaw her grandchildren, ow-ers, and John Deere tractors.

    With an easy, dimpled smile,she would often say, “If youate a good meal today, thanka farmer.” She was an activemember of the Oakwood com-munity, participating in theWashington Township Neigh- bors Home DemonstrationClub, Washington TownshipWomen’s Club, the Farm Bu-reau Council, and AuglaizeChapel Church of God. In1999, Jessie was recognizedas an Honored Citizen at theOakwood Homecoming cele- bration.  Left to honor Jessie and re-member her love are her sixchildren; a brother, Gilbert

    Schick; 16 grandchildren; 38great-grandchildren; and 10great-great-grandchildren.  She was preceded in death by her parents; beloved hus- band, Beryl, in 1993; and agrandson, Benjamin Leather -man in 2007.  Funeral services will beheld 11 a.m. today, April 15at Auglaize Chapel Church ofGod, Oakwood, with the Rev.Mary Stephens and Rev.

    Patrol reminds drivers to keep

    eyes and focus on the road  VAN WERT – April is National Distracted Driving Aware-ness Month and the Van Wert Post of the Ohio State HighwayPatrol is reminding drivers to keep their eyes, and focus, on theroadway while driving.  Last year 17,827 crashes in Ohio had a reported distraction,including 44 fatal crashes. Ohio law prohibits all cell phoneusage for drivers under 18. Texting while driving is illegal forall drivers, as a secondary offense.  Sending or receiving a text message takes a driver’s eyes offthe road for an average of 4.6 seconds, the equivalent of drivingthe length of an entire football eld when traveling at 55 mph.

      “Every time someone takes their eyes or their focus off theroad - even for just a few seconds - they put their lives and thelives of others in danger,” said Lt. Tim Grigsby, Commander ofthe Van Wert Post. “Distracted driving is unsafe and irresponsi- ble. In a split second, its consequences can be devastating.”  Distracted driving is any non-driving activity that has poten-tial to distract a person from the primary task of driving andincrease the risk of crashing. Distractions can be visual, takingeyes off of the road; manual, taking hands off the wheel; orcognitive, taking the mind off driving. Texting while driving isan example that results in all three types of distraction.  For more distracted driving facts visit http://statepatrol.ohio.gov/doc/Distracted_Driving_Bulletin_2015.pdf

    Do you know the best way to get emergency alerts and warnings? By Ed Bohn

    Paulding County EMA  PAULDING – With recentweather, it reminds us that weneed to keep informed. Astechnology improves, thereare various means to receivenotication on severe weath-er alerts and warnings. Thereare the conventional ways of

    getting your weather infor -mation, televisions updatesand if you have a NOAA

    weather radio. You can keepinformed. But with this dayand age, being on the go somuch, the increase in tech-nology, allows us to keep intouch with the weather as itchanges.  Cellphones, laptops andtablets allow us to stay in-formed on the go. It is es-

    timated that over 90% ofAmericans have and usecellphones for a means of

    communications. Thereare a number of text alertsthat you can receive on astandard cellphone, with-out the need of the Inter -net. Locally, NIXLE, isone of them. All you haveto do is text your ZIP codeto 888777, and receiveweather alerts and other

    emergency information toyour phone.  Those people who have

    smartphones with Internetaccess have the capabilityof down loading a numberof APPs that allows you to

     be informed in an instant.Just a few of those APPsare your local television sta-tions, The Weather Channel,My Radar, and the list goeson and on. Most of the APPs

    are free but if you want en-hanced options, you do haveto pay a fee.

      Social media, such asFacebook and Twitter, can

     be a valuable resource fromyour laptop, tablet or yoursmartphone. Once again,you have to “like” your lo-cal television stations, thePaulding County EMA, VanWert EMA, etc. to keep up tothe minute on social media.

      If you have an elderlyneighbor that might nothave the means of a cell-

     phone or computer devices, please keep them informedas well. Word of mouth isalways a reliable way.  The important thing isYOU NEED TO STAYINFORMED, by up to theminute or by conventionalmeans. And don’t forget,look to the skies as some-

    times storm cells can de-velop quickly.  BE PREPARED...

    A nurse’s life in 1887  I daily thank God for thededicated people who becomenurses. As for me, I get ill atthe sight of blood or any bodi-ly uids. It seems as if nursesare usually in high demand andthose who commit to the eldwill usually have a steady job.  There are nurses who workin hospitals, doctor’s ofc-es, military bases, nursing

    homes and health departments. Nurses can usually dispensemedicine, give shots, check blood pressures, look downyour throat and listen to yourheart. Nurses can and do wearmany different hats. I remem- ber when nurses had to wear awhite uniform, white shoes andalways a nursing cap.  This seems important be-cause you could always iden-tify a nurse by the white uni-form and the white cap theywore. Times have changed inmany ways for those who de-cide to and do become nurses.  In 1887, nurses had a de-nite job description and had

    to follow the rules. Over 100years ago, nurses had to mopand clean oors, bring incoal, keep the lamps lit, scrubclothes and take notes from thedoctor. The hours of a nursewere from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m.each day except The Sabbath.On Sundays, a nurse could getoff from noon until 2 p.m.  Another rule was that if a

    nurse was in good standingwith the Director of Nursing,they could have a night off for“courting.” In other words,they were to be dedicatedmostly to their occupation in-stead of being “frivolous.”  If a nurse ever went into a li-quor establishment, got her hairdone or smoked, she had to telland explain why to her superiorand prove her worthiness.

      A nurse in 1887 also was tosave and put back a portion ofher earnings. If she made $30a month, she was to save $15.The reasoning was that in herdeclining years, she would not be a burden on anyone. Also,if a nurse worked for veyears and was in good stand-ing, they would be eligiblefor a nickel per day raise. Just

    think of how much money thatmeant back in 1887.  The rst known nurse wasmentioned in Romans 16:1.During the early years of theChristianity, Saint Paul sent adeaconess, Phoebe, to Romeas the rst visiting nurse. Shetook care of both women andmen. Now I have never lookedup this scripture and so I can-

    not verify the accuracy. How-ever, I am sure, be it as it may,there were medicines andcaregiving in those days.  I have always been afraid ofdoctors, nurses, dentists andhospitals, but I hold the great-est respect for them and thework they do. Today when wego to a doctor or a hospital, it islikely the rst person you seewill be a nurse. Their friendli-ness and demeanor could reallymake a difference in any typeof medical appointment.  Yes, nursing has changed, but they are a special group of people that regardless of therules, they still provide care.

      No, I would never makea good nurse. Like I said, Iwould pass out at the rstsight of a bedpan.  Have you ever thought whatnurses actually do and the carethey provide? How do youthink nurses ever followed therules back in the early days?Let me know and I’ll give youa Penny for Your Thoughts.

    4th graders construct

    ‘sinkhole-in-a-cup’

      Grover Hill fourth grade students Cole Fisher and Ezra Sinn watch in amazement as their sink-hole falls in front of their eyes.

    By Staci MillerEducation specialist

    Paulding SWCD  Recently, fourth grade students got the op- portunity to construct sinkholes and watchthem fall in front of their eyes.  Sinkholes are natural depressions in thelandscape caused by solution and subsidenceof earth materials. They form by the removalof underlying material (subsurface rock andsoil) through the karst hydrologic system.They can form by slow, gradual subsidence or by a sudden collapse of the soil.  Areas that have a bedrock made of lime-

    stone, salt deposits or carbonate rock are mostsusceptible to erosion and the formation ofsinkholes, which are found all over the world.Sinkholes are common throughout aboutone-quarter of the U.S. and are especiallycommon in Texas, Alabama, Missouri, Ken-

    tucky, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, and Florida,according to the U.S. Geological Survey.  In 2013, a sinkhole developed in Toledo dueto a water main break.  Staci Miller, education specialist with thePaulding SWCD, taught students about theformation of sinkholes through a PowerPoint presentation and short video. After the presenta-tion, students got the hands-on opportunity to cre-ate their very own sinkhole.  Students used Styrofoam cups, coffee lters, paper tube, half of a 2-liter bottle, water, sugar andsand to construct their sinkholes. The sugar rep-resented limestone and the water carried out the

    natural process of dissolution. The students wereamazed to see how the sugar slowly began to drop before their eyes and form a sinkhole in a cup.  Anyone interested in this presentation for aclassroom or group may contact Miller at 419-399-4771 or [email protected].
