LIMA Wayne Trace used
its quick strike offense and
blitzed Northwest Conference

front in the first quarter and
never looking back Friday
night at Lima Stadium.
The red, white and blue

quarter and rolled from there
as Wayne Trace cruised to a
The run provided the first of
ten touchdowns that Speice
was involved in, the final com-
ing via touchdown passes that
tied a state record for scoring
strikes thrown in a game.
Speice hooked up with Jake
Gerber on the two-point con-
version pass as the Raiders
went in front 8-0 at the 7:42
mark.
Colby has had an outstand-
68-14 victory over the

game.
With the win, the Raiders
continue a record breaking
season that has seen them post
a dozen victories for the first
time in school history and
clinch a berth in the OHSAA
Final Four on Friday.
I am just so proud of these
kids, the coaches, the fans and
the entire school community,
noted Raider head coach Bill
Speller. This team has be-
come a family and the whole
school district has really sup-
ported us. Its amazing the
way we feel right now.
It didnt take the Raiders
long to get the red, white and
blue faithful on their feet.
On Wayne Traces second
possession, the Raiders
marched 80-yards in seven
plays before senior quarter-
back Colby Speice scampered
25-yards for a Wayne Trace
touchdown.

Continuity a big factor for WT
By KEVIN WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
HAVILAND The Wayne Trace football
program is enjoying unparalleled success this
year, advancing to Fridays state semifinals
against Mechanicsburg in the Division VI play-
offs.
The Raiders have posted a school record
dozen victories in the campaign and have
moved on further than any Wayne Trace team
in school history.
While it takes great players to enjoy the type
of season the Raiders have had, the red, white
and blue also has enjoyed continuity in its
coaching staff that has played a big part as well.
Wayne Trace head coach Bill Speller is in his
12th season at the helm of the Raiders, current-
ly holding a career record of 69-56, a winning
percentage of .552. Speller is also the offensive
coordinator and quarterback coach of the red,
white and blue, helping lead the Raiders to a
record season scoring wise that has seen Wayne
Trace total 653 points on the season.
The Raiders also have five winning seasons
under Speller, including a 9-1 record a year
ago. Wayne Trace also went 11-1 in 2005, los-
ing in the second round of the playoffs to
Patrick Henry in the only other postseason
berth in school history.
Wayne Trace also claimed Green Meadows
Conference championships in 2005 and 2012,
two of the three league titles in school history.
Wayne Traces coaching staff includes six
graduates of the Raider program and three as-
sistants have been part of the staff over ten sea-
sons.
Defensive coordinator Mike Speice is in his
11th season as an assistant coach and also is in
charge of the offensive and defensive line.
Chad Goeltzenleuchter has been a part of
Spellers staff for all 12 seasons and also works
with the offensive and defensive linemen.

LATTY A Haviland man died early
Friday from injuries sustained in a one-vehi-
cle crash Thursday afternoon near Latty.
Dead is Timothy P. Palte, age 63.
According to the Ohio Highway Patrols
Van Wert Post, the crash occurred at about
5:04 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 21 on Ohio 613
near milepost 12 in Paulding Township.
Troopers said Palte was driving a 2002
Pontiac Sunfire westbound on 613 and trav-
eled off the north side of the roadway and
overcorrected. The car crossed the center line
and struck the ditch embankment off the
south side of the roadway where it came to
rest.
Palte was not wearing a seatbelt at the time
of the crash and was partially ejected and
trapped beneath the vehicle. He was freed
from the vehicle by passersby who stopped
and overturned the vehicle, troopers said.
Palte was transported to Paulding County
Hospital and later transferred to Parkview
Regional Medical Center in Fort Wayne. The
Allen County (Ind.) Coroners Office report-
ed that Palte succumbed to his injuries at
around 4:04 a.m. Friday.
The crash is currently under investigation
and alcohol is believed to be a factor in the
crash, according to the patrol press release.
Troopers were assisted at the scene by the
Paulding County Sheriffs Office and
Paulding Fire Department and EMS.
The crash was the countys sixth traffic fa-
tality of the year.

Progress Progress
It is important that you are
able to get along and work to-
gether. I am so thankful and
proud of the coaching staff
and players right now. They
have all put in a tremendous
amount of time and are de-
serving of the success we have
had.
Former head coach Tom
McCord, who led the Raider
program to 56 victories over a
dozen seasons, is the special
teams coordinator and takes
care of the wide receivers and
defensive backs. McCord also
has been a part of the junior
high/high school staff for all
12 seasons under Speller.
Assistant coach Ken Speice
started at the junior high level
in 2007 before moving to the
high school staff in 2008 and
takes care of the running
backs and linebackers.
We all get along so well,
noted Speller. Being able to
work together so well and the
fact that we have a good time
while trying to prepare, it is a
big help for all of us. Having a
good working relationship is
important and the ability to
hang out and have fun with it
is important.
Wayne Trace also gets key
help from junior high coaches
Doug Etzler, Jack Baumle and
Dan Bland as well.
Former Raider standouts
Zach Gerber, who is in his
sixth season, and Steve Sinn,
in his second year, also have
been big contributors for the
red, white and blue.
I think it is a big help to the
kids as well in the fact they
know what to expect from
us, Speller added. Its im-
portant for any program to
have consistency and we have
been fortunate that we have
had that. It allows the players
to know what we are going to
ask out of them and it is also
easier on the coaches as we try
to teach and prepare.
You spend so much time
together on weekends, prepar-
ing for your next opponent,
concluded the Raider mentor.
Showalter also chipped in four
receptions for 198 yards.
Speice also led the Raiders
on the ground with 72 yards
on seven carries.
Ada was limited to 288
yards of total offense, includ-
ing 81 rushing yards.
It was an honor and a fun
road to Week 13, Olwin con-
cluded. Im proud of our kids
and proud of everyone in the
program. We knocked off
some good teams this season.
Wilcox completed 14 of 31
passes for 207 yards while also
posting 38 rushing yards.
Blake Ansley picked up seven
receptions for 115 yards to top
the Bulldogs.
Wayne Trace, now 12-1 on
the season, advances to play
Mechanicsburg, a 34-28 win-
ner in double overtime over
West Liberty Salem last night.
The Raiders will play the
Indians (11-2) at Harmon
Field in Wapakoneta on
Friday.

ing season and tonight was just
another example of that, con-
tinued Speller. But it is a team
effort and he would be the first
to say that. This group of sen-
iors is a special group that has
really supported each other
and been tremendous leaders.
Wayne Trace would strike
again just over a minute later.
Speice hooked up with Korbin
Showalter on a 92-yard scor-
ing strike that made it 14-0
with 6:32 remaining in the
stanza. Speice found Jake
Arend for the two-point con-
version pass to widen the mar-
gin to 16-0.
They made a lot of plays,
and we werent able to keep up
with their speed, Ada coach
Bob Olwin said. Wayne
Trace is just a polished group.
They made plays and we did-
nt.
Wayne Trace was far from
done, though.
The senior signal-caller
hooked up with Tyler
Showalter on a 64-yard touch-
down toss as Wayne Trace
pushed the lead to 22-0 at the
2:53 point of the stanza.
We have tremendous ath-
letes and they do a great job of
making plays, added the
Raider mentor. This group of
kids has really played well, es-
pecially since the playoffs
started, and they have been so
focused each week.
A Speice touchdown pass to
Korbin Showalter, good for
five yards, followed on the
next possession with an eight-
yard scoring toss to Jared
Sherry quickly made it 36-0
with 4:04 left in the first half.
Ada did get on the score-
board as Matt Wilcox hooked
up with an Owen Conley on a
24-yard touchdown pass as the
Bulldogs pulled within 36-8.
However, the red, white and
blue quickly answered as
Speice found Korbin
Showalter on a 70-yard touch-
down toss and then hooked up
with Jake Arend for a seven-
yard scoring strike with one
second left in the half.
The Raiders led 50-8 at the
intermission and were never
threatened.
These kids have put in so
much time all season long,
commented Speller. They are
very good athletes and they
deserve all of the credit.
Speice connected with
Gerber on touchdown passes
of 10 and 15 yards in the third
quarter as the Raiders pushed
the margin to 62-14.
Wayne Trace then closed
the scoring with a 34-yard pass
play that resulted in a Tyler
Showalter touchdown.
You know, the school has
had a lot of success on the bas-
ketball court but this is the first
time that the football program
has been able to put together
this type of success, conclud-
ed Speller. Its great for the
players and coaches because I
couldnt ask for a better group
of people to work with. Well
enjoy this tonight and get back
to work tomorrow morning in
preparing for
Mechanicsburg.
Speice finished the night
with 534 yards passing, com-
pleting 25 of 42 passes. Arend
led the Raiders with nine re-
ceptions for 96 yards while
Tyler Showalter added five
catches for 155 yards. Korbin
Haviland man dies after crash near Latty
848. Wayne Traces Tyler Showalter #20 looks back at a Ada defender as he takes off upfield
for a big gain last Friday night in tournament play.

and Glenna (Carpenter) Welsh
on Oct. 6, 1915 on an Oak-
wood farm
near the
Paulding-
P u t n a m
c o u n t y
line. She
graduated
from the
Oakwood
H i g h
School as valedictorian in
1933, which was the year dur-
ing the Great Depression
when the banks closed and
school was dismissed in April.
In 1937, she married Eugene
Gary and had three children,
Jane Volk of Jackson, Mich.,
Bette Lindman of Alto, Wis.
and Kirk Gary of Houston,
who all survive.
In 1960, Gene and Cate
were hired by the Paulding
County commissioners to co-
manage the county home
where they stayed until 1969.
She was hired by Maremont
Corporation (Grizzly) as an
industrial nurse and was em-
ployed there until 1972. Cate,
then, was employed by Pauld-
ing County Social Services to
administer the Child Support
Program where she retired in
1983. While working for
Grizzly and Social Services,
she also continued her educa-
tion at Defiance College,
worked part-time for Ankney
Insurance and performed
physicals for various compa-
nies. In 1990, she bought
apartments in Payne, which
she remodeled, managed and
resided in until she married
Ray Hart, who preceded her
in death in February 1996.
Cate was a lifelong mem-
ber of the Presbyterian
Church where she sang in the
choir and taught Sunday
school, a member of the
Bayview Reading Club, the
Paulding Grange and the
Ohio County Home Associ-
ate. She was an excellent
cook and liked to entertain,
play Scrabble, enjoyed travel-
ing, and reading. She was a
wonderful storyteller who en-
tertained her children and
grandchildren. In 2002, she
moved to be near her daugh-
ter, Bette Lindman, where she
remained the rest of her life.
She is survived by her three
children; 10 grandchildren;
14 great-grandchildren; and
two great-great-grandchil-
dren.
She is preceded in death by
her husband, Ray Hart; her
sisters, Vanda Utterback and
Helen Keck; brothers, Glenn
Welsh and Chuck Welsh; and
a grandson, Eric Johnson.
Funeral services were held
Monday, Nov. 25 at the First
Presbyterian Church, Pauld-
ing, with the Rev. David
Meriwether officiating. Bur-
ial was in Live Oak Ceme-
tery, Paulding. Den Herder

ily requests donations made

The Amish Cook
By: Lovina Eicher
Timothy. Meanwhile, I need
to go to town this morning as
Im running short on a lot of
things.
We would like to go to two
different viewings tonight if
possible. Our sympathy goes
to the Amos Eicher family of
Shipshewana, Ind. Amos and
Dad were first cousins and he
passed on Wednesday.
Sympathy also goes to Dan
and Irene as they mourn the
loss of Irenes father. Losing
a parent is never easy, but
God helps us through the
hard times if we put our trust
in Him.
This week we have been
getting some sewing done. I
was mostly doing mending.
Those rips and tears add up
fast if I leave it go for several
weeks. Susan was sewing to-
gether pillow tops. We want
to make pillows to fill some
orders and for gifts.
Verena was working on
plastic canvas-making name
hangers for gifts and orders.
She is getting faster at it.
Daughter Elizabeth is teach-
ing her and also Loretta and
Lovina.
Kevin wanted to try it, too,
went in Elizabeths bedroom
and found the piece she was
working on. Needless to say
she had to redo all he tried to
do.
It is 3:40 a.m. and my hus-
band, Joe, is waiting on his
ride to the factory. Daughter
Elizabeth doesnt have to
work today. Her factory let
the workers off since shotgun
season opens for the deer
hunters today.
Elizabeth will go hunting
with Timothy and Susan will
accompany Mose. Joe will
hunt tomorrow. He and the
boys were target practicing
last night.
Its so hard to believe we
are into the middle of No-
vember already. A lot of our
leaves are still not picked up.
They did burn a lot, but
theres still so many left to
rake. It seems when we get
time to rake, then its too
windy.
We have had a light dusting
of snow and some flurries,
but not enough to please the
boys. Kevin, 8, was so sure
he would need his snow pants
and boots by the time he
came home from school.
Our four calves are really
growing. They have been be-
having and staying inside
their fenced in area. We arent
too excited about having any-
more calf chases.
This is now after 7 a.m. and
five of the children left for
school. Elizabeth left around
5 a.m. to go hunting with
Kevin will sit for hours
writing. Sometimes its his
own story and sometimes its
a book he copied. He is happy
if he has a writing tablet and
pencil.
School mornings dont
seem so rushed anymore
since everyone can get them-
selves ready. Kevin needs
help to get his leg braces and
shoes on, but at night he can
take them off alone. He thinks
the braces are helping him.
My friend, Barb, gave me
some gooseberries so I tried
to make a gooseberry pie yes-
terday. This is the recipe I
used. The pie was a little tart,
so a bit more sugar could be
added. Gods blessings to all
you faithful readers.
GOOSEBERRY PIE
4 cups gooseberries
1 cup sugar
2 pie crusts
1/4 cup flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons butter
Pinch salt
Combine sugar, flour, corn-
starch and salt. Toss gently
over berries. Pour into a 9-
inch pie crust. Dot with but-
ter. Cover with second crust
and make slits. Bake at 400
for 20 minutes. Then reduce
oven to 350 for 25 minutes
or until golden brown.

hold meeting
ARCHBOLD The North-
west Ohio Rugkrafters Guild
met recently at the Sauder
Village Cafe hosted by Ida
Duff, Sherly McCoy and
Barbara Rosonowski. Presi-
dent Julie Klinger presided
over the meeting with 22
members and one guest in at-
tendance.
An update on the Guilds
40th Anniversary, Rubies,
Rugs and Rugmakers Show
was given. Carla Allshouse
documented this and re-
warded members with a CD
of history, past and present of
the Guild. The show was
well attended and three states
were represented.
Much discussion focused
on upcoming events that of-
fers opportunity for hook-ins
and learning new techniques
to enhance individual skills.
The first is at the Elliot Rose
Guesthouse in Defiance on
Jan. 10 and 11. A reminder
was given about the Sauder
hook-ins that require pre-reg-
istration.
Next formal meeting will be
held at the Black Lantern for
dinner and a gift exchange.
The guild focuses on this his-
toric, primitive method of
making rugs or other items
that can become long-lasing
heirlooms.

Buy local, give local
By Lori Panda
Ohio Proud senior program manager
This time of year evokes the tradition of spreading holiday
goodwill and cheer to all. As everyone begins holiday shop-
ping and event planning, I encourage you to shop for gifts
and supplies within your own community by supporting the
diversity and quality of our states locally made and grown
products.
When you buy local, you are supporting Ohio businesses
and farmers while keeping your hard earned dollars in the
community where you live. Every dollar spent on Ohio prod-
ucts reinvests in your local
economy and allows local
businesses to grow and hire
more local residents.
Buying locally not only
ensures that your hometown
economy remains strong, but
that downtown shopping dis-
tricts and Main Streets stay
vibrant and unique. In turn,
these vendors help shoppers find thoughtful, one-of-a-kind
gifts for their family and friends.
There are many specialty retailers who focus on Ohio
made or grown products and gifts. If you are in an area with
a limited selection, large retailers carry many of these items
as well. From fresh food, to wine, baked goods, soaps and lo-
tions; you can probably find Ohio products in every aisle of
your favorite grocery store.
Programs like the Ohio Department of Agricultures Ohio
Proud program are designed to alert consumers to products
that are made, grown or processed in Ohio. Looking for Ohio
Proud and other locally made products is a great way to
tackle your holiday shopping list while giving back some-
thing to your local community.

Swarovski crystals. The bride
wore a princess tiara also

delicate button green chrysan-

Keeping students
and schools safe
We are entering a time of year
when school kids get excited
about Thanksgiving and
Christmas vacations, and per-
haps snow days after that.
The education that young
people get is obviously very
important for their future de-
velopment. But, we can all re-
member the days when we
huddled around the radio or
television hoping that our
school would be included on
the list of being closed or de-
layed.
Over the course of this
year, however, a lot of work
and attention has been given
to the very important issue of
making sure the time that kids
spend at school are safe and
conducive to learning. Right
now there are a couple bills
that directly address safety
measures in Ohio schools.
House Bill 8 seeks to link
schools to local law enforce-
ment for the purpose of craft-
ing safety plans and enhanced
training of staff. Currently,
schools are allowed to desig-
nate certain school personnel
to have a concealed weapon
in the building during school
hours. HB 8 makes no
changes to that statute, but
does provide protections from
liability for those individuals
from using force to take down
a shooter in the building.
House Bill 215 allows re-
tired or off-duty law enforce-
ment officers to volunteer in
schools for added security.
Volunteers would be limited
to about nine hours a week
and would be eligible for a
$500 tax credit.
I recently had the privilege
of recognizing the girls
4x200-meter relay team from
Tinora High School at the
statehouse for winning the
state championship this
spring. It is always a source
of pride to show the rest of
the state all the great things
that our young students and
athletes from northwest Ohio
have accomplished.
It is also especially impor-
From The
State House
Rep. Tony Burkley
tant as policymakers that we
work toward policies that will
ensure that those elementary,
junior high and high school
students are in an environ-
ment that is safe and secure.
Finally, this is a time of
year when we reflect on all
the things we are thankful for.
I, for one, am grateful for the
opportunity to serve as your
voice in state government. It
is an honor and responsibility
I take very seriously. I wish
all the families of northwest
Ohio a wonderful and blessed
Thanksgiving.

Winning the Battle for a Generation
By Rick Jones
exec. director, Defiance
Area Youth for Christ
Who do you need to ask for-
giveness from?
He called himself General
Butt Naked, and stripped
himself bare before wading
into battle during Liberias
horrific civil war. His real
name? Joshua Milton Blahyi,
a man responsible for the
deaths of 20,000 people.
Repentant now, he is seek-
ing forgiveness from those
who survived his cruelty, one
by one. During the war, his
mix of guerrilla warfare, tor-
ture, folk magic, and even
cannibalism was cruel, inde-
scribable.
Because of legal difficulties,
it is likely that he will never be
punished for his crimes. The
German magazine Der Spiegel
recounts an interview with the
Truth and Reconciliation
Commission in which he con-
fesses to recruiting nine-year-
old children for his war
efforts.
Then he trained these children
to be ruthless killers. When
asked why he volunteered to
come to the commission, he
simply said, For my faith. I
was told that I should tell the
truth, and the truth will set me
free. He is now a
Christian pastor and evangel-
ist who seeks out his victims,
bows to them, and begs for-
giveness. He is met with a va-
riety of responses, fear, anger,
indifference. His story high-
lights the pathos of forgive-
ness.
If the man who had mur-
dered your family came to
your house, groveling and
begging you to forgive him,
what would go through your
mind? Only the power of
Christ could enable forgive-
ness like that.

THE WOES OF A TURKEY
I love Thanksgiving and
everything about it. Being
thankful to God for our bless-
ings, a big turkey dinner and
seeing family members is all
a part of this special day.
We all know the stories
about the first Thanksgiving
and how the Pilgrims cele-
brated. In November, 1621,
after the Pilgrims first corn
harvest proved successful,
Governor William Bradford
wanted to have a feast, so he
invited the colonists and their
Native American allies, which
included the Wampanoag
chief, Massasoit.
The feast lasted for three
days and the food they served
was very different from what
we eat today. There was no
huge turkey to cook, or stuff-
ing, green bean casserole,
mashed potatoes and gravy or
pumpkin pie with whipped
cream.
In fact, Governor Bradford
sent four men on a fowling
mission in preparation for the
event. I would imagine that
meant going hunting for
game. The Wampanoag guests
arrived bearing five deer. His-
torians have suggested that
many of the dishes were likely
prepared using traditional Na-
tive American spices and
cooking methods.
Some of the food that was
served at that first Thanksgiv-
ing included cod, eel, clams,
lobster, wild turkey, goose,
duck, crane, swan, partridge,
eagles, venison and seal.
There was Indian corn, pump-
kin, peas, beans, onions, let-
tuce, radishes, carrots and
possibly plums or grapes.
Of course today we serve
the traditional turkey and all
the trimmings.
To me, cooking Thanksgiv-
ing dinner is almost as fun as
eating it. It took me a number
of years to fix that perfect
bird, but I never had to call the
Turkey Hotline yet. Each year,
Butterball hosts a hotline that
fields about 100,000 calls each
Thanksgiving and Christmas.
The Butterball operators re-
ceive desperate calls to their
hotline from people who are
upset with the whole Turkey
cooking process.
While most of their calls are
probably of the standard how
long do I cook this bird for
variety, a few really stupid
questions happen to slip
through the phone lines. The
following are actual questions
and situations the hotline re-
ceived.
One caller inquired if it was
okay to thaw their turkey in
the bathtub while bathing their
kids?
Another caller wanted to
know if they could brine their
turkey in the washing ma-
chine?
They received a report of a
woman who put a frozen
turkey in the clothes dryer to
thaw. The turkey thumped
around the drum of the dryer
all night.
Thats not the worst of it,
though. A young mother once
shared her tale of turkey woe
telling the hotline that her kids
had been playing in the
kitchen while she was stuffing
the turkey.
The kids were fond of
matchbox cars and decided
that their toys needed a new
place to park. Many hours
later, the mother discovered
that the kids had chosen the
turkey for their new parking
space. It isnt clear whether
she discovered the toy cars
immediately after removing
the turkey from the oven, or if
they were revealed during
carving.
A Kentucky woman called
the hotline asking how to get
her Chihuahua out of a turkey.
It soon became apparent that
the tiny dog had dived right
into the carcass and couldnt
get back out. Pulling the dog
didnt work and neither did
shaking the turkey. Finally,
she was instructed to make the
hole a little bigger so that the
pooch could escape.
What are you cooking for
Thanksgiving? Have you ever
had a funny turkey experi-
ence? Have you ever called
the Turkey Hotline? Let me
know and Ill give you a
Penny for Your Thoughts.

berry salad, and a favorite of
many pumpkin pie.
Many years ago, I prepared
an alternative to pumpkin pie
that has become a family fa-
vorite. While for many its
hard to imagine Thanksgiving
without pumpkin pie, at our
house, it wouldnt be Thanks-
giving without my pumpkin
torte. Whenever I serve it to
someone for the first time, it
never fails to elicit requests
for the recipe. If youd like to
try a delicious alternative to
pie, here it is:
KYLEES PUMPKIN
TORTE
1 yellow cake mix (take out 1
cup)
3 eggs
1 1/4 cups white sugar
3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup evaporated milk
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 large can pumpkin pie mix
Crust: Combine the cake
mix (less 1 cup) with one egg
and 1/2 cup butter. Press into
the bottom of a greased jelly
roll pan (10-1/2 x 15-1/2 x 1
inch).
Filling: Mix until smooth -
pumpkin pie mix, 2 eggs, and
evaporated milk. Pour on top
of the crust.
Topping: Mix 1 cup cake
mix, sugar, cinnamon and 1/4
cup butter. Sprinkle on top of
the pumpkin mixture. Bake at
350F for 45-50 minutes. Cut
into squares and serve with
whipped cream. Store in the
refrigerator.
I wish you a blessed
Thanksgiving.

with the goat, he accidentally
broke one of its horns. To
atone for this, Zeus promised
to always keep the horn filled
with the goats favorite fruits,
thus a horn of plenty.
The cornucopia has come
to symbolize the harvest and
since many things are har-
vested in the fall, it is gener-
ally associated with autumn
holidays, namely Thanksgiv-
ing. While we dont know for
sure, its likely that the first
Thanksgiving in the United
States could have had a cor-
nucopia decorating the Pil-
grims table.
Then, it likely held sea-
sonal fruits such as apples,
vegetables like squash, and
grains, including corn. Today,
the basket sometimes is also
decorated with fall flowers
like mums and asters. Both
then and now, the cornucopia
is a symbolic celebration of
the earth providing nourish-
ment for its inhabitants.
Though Thanksgiving has
at its heart an attitude of
gratefulness for the blessings
of the year, it is clearly a hol-
iday centered around food.
Across the country, meals are
prepared with typical dishes
served being roasted turkey,
stuffing (or dressing), cran-
Turkey, cranberry salad,
pumpkins (and pies made
from them!) these make us
think of Thanksgiving, and so
does a cornucopia. Im not
sure my kids would know just
what a cornucopia is, al-
though I know theyve seen
it. Theyd probably just call it
a basket of fruits and vegeta-
bles.
What exactly is a cornu-
copia anyway? Why the un-
usual name for an unusually
shaped container of edibles?
And what does it have to do
with Thanksgiving? I decided
to do a little sleuthing to find
out.
The word cornucopia is
an old one, dating back to the
5th century B.C. It comes
from the Latin for two words,
cornu means horn and
copia means plenty. Put
them together and you have
the other common name (in
English) for a cornucopia,
horn of plenty. As is usually
the case when discovering the
root meanings of words, this
explains why a cornucopia is
filled with a lot of vegetables,
fruits, and grains, to the point
of overflowing.
The shape of the container,
usually a basket, is a very dis-
tinctive and recognizable ele-
ment of a cornucopia. It is
said to originate in Greek
mythology as the hollowed
out horn of a goat owned by
Zeuss nurse.

EPA proposes
reducing
biofuel mandate
By Mark Holtsberry
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
The Obama Administration
Friday proposed to reduce the
amount of ethanol in the na-
tions fuel supply for the first
time, acknowledging that the
biofuel law championed by
both parties in 2007 is not
working as well as expected.
While the proposal high-
lights the governments strug-
gle to ramp up production of
homegrown biofuels that are
cleaner-burning than gaso-
line, it is unlikely to mean
much for consumers at the
pump. The change would re-
quire almost 3 billion gallons
less ethanol and other biofu-
els to be blended into gaso-
line in 2014 than the law
requires.
The 2007 law tried to ad-
dress global warming by al-
lowing oil companies to
blend billions of gallons of
biofuel into their gasoline
each year, but politicians who
wrote the laws didnt antici-
pate the fuel economy to im-
prove as much as it has in
recent years which reduced
demand for gasoline. Mean-
while, next generation biofu-
els made from agricultural
waste such as wood chips and
corn cobs have not taken off
as quickly as Congress re-
quired and the administration
expected.
EPA officials said they
were still committed to alter-
native fuels as part of a com-
prehensive energy strategy. If
the EPA stuck to the volumes
mandated by law, the amount
of biofuel required would
generate more ethanol than
many engines can safely han-
dle officials said.
The ethanol mandate cre-
ated an unusual alliance be-
tween oil companies, which
have seen ethanol cut into
their share of the gasoline
market, and environmental
groups that oppose planting
more corn for fuel. Recent
findings have found that
corn-based ethanols effect on
the environment is far worse
than the government pre-
dicted or admits.

True Thanksgiving comes
without cost or wealth
One memory very endear-
ing to me is watching Kirsten
choose a book and bring it to
Joyce to read to her as she
curled up in her arms on the
sofa. That brings back pre-
cious memories of bedtime at
my house where my mom,
grandma and even dad would
read such books (of the time)
as, Jack and the Bean Stalk,
Little Red Riding Hood,
The Three Little Pigs and
the Dick, Jane and Sally
books of the first grade.
Speaking of bedtime,
Kirsten especially has a fancy
for asking Joyce to read sto-
ries to her when her dad says,
Kirsten, its time to go to
bed.
Just one more story, Dad,
she says, and another and an-
other and another. Its amaz-
One of the great sights of
2013 occurred recently when
we visited our granddaughter,
Kirsten, right after our son
purchased a different house.
When we arrived, she came
running to the door and in-
sisted on giving us a tour.
Im sure that its no sur-
prise to anyone that Grandpa
Langham carries his trusted
camera with him when he
visits with Kirsten. In fact,
her understanding of that was
clearly demonstrated that
night when she took us to her
new room. She jumped on the
bed, kicking her feet as they
dangled, flashed a giant smile
and said, Grandpa, cheese!
If I were voting for one of
the treasured Thanksgiving
nominations of this year, that
would be tops, if not close to
the top. Many of the others on
my list would pertain to her,
and our family, such as walk-
ing on a state park trail with
Sandi in June, attending a
hockey game with Julie,
Kirsten and Jason, and watch-
ing Kirsten enjoy all of the
treats brought by Aunt Julie,
or attending a final game at
the old Wrigley Field with
Sandi, Jason and Kirsten. Oh,
did I say that Kirsten figured
into a lot of these Thanksgiv-
ing memories?
ing how stalling tactics dont
change over the years. I am
so thankful for the memories
of my own childhood that are
brought back by Kirsten. Oh,
did I say that Kirsten figures
into many of my Thanksgiv-
ing praises of this year?
But one of the most pre-
cious moments occurs at the
table at mealtime, whether we
are in a restaurant, at home or
somewhere else where food
is about to be served. As we
are about to partake of our
meal, little Kirsten always
says, Grandpa, youve got to
pray, Im hungry. And she
immediately bows her head
and folds her hands, just like
we did with our children at
the table and like we did
when I was a child at home.
Obviously, one of the most
heralded Thanksgiving appre-
ciation moments is that of
Christian parents and chil-
dren, and a dad and mom that
always prayed at mealtime
and bed time. And one of the
things my father always
prayed for was the genera-
tions to come after me, like
Kirsten, who he never had a
chance to see, but still prayed
for. Oh, did I say that Kirsten
figures into much of my
Thanksgiving gratefulness for
this year?
Antwerp superintendent and
principal receive 5-year contracts
By JOE SHOUSE
Correspondent
ANTWERP The Antwerp
Local School Board met in
regular session last Thursday.
Reports from superintend-
ent Pat Ross, high
school/middle school princi-
pal Michael Bute, and ele-
mentary principal Tim Manz,
along with several consent
items for approval were
among items on the agenda.
Among the consent items,
both Ross and Bute were ap-
proved for five-year contracts
which will take them to July
31, 2019.
Ross updated the board on
maintenance and technology
matters along with the
Straight A Fund. Within the
Straight A Fund are two
grants with one being for 16
area schools participating in
virtual online classes and the
second grant allowing the
school to apply for seven
propane buses in the future.
Award letters will be sent out
on Dec. 17.
Bute reported the
parent/teacher conferences
held Oct. 29-31 went well. He
commended Mr. Manz for his
leadership in providing a heart
felt Veterans Day program.
As a part of the program an
essay contest was made avail-
able for all fourth and fifth
graders. Essay winners in-
cluded Emerson Litzenberg
and Kennedy Trabel repre-
senting the fourth grade and
Rylan Brooks and Morgan
Boesch from grade five.
Bute reminded board mem-
bers that winter athletics and
activities are now underway
and athletic photos were taken
on Wednesday, Nov. 20. A do-
nation to the Industrial Arts
Department from the flooring
business owned by Tony and
Cathy Wilson was also recog-
nized.
Principal Manz updated the
board concerning the CogAT
online audio equating winter
study that is being offered.
The testing of the online pilot
program will allow the school
to receive $5,000 for its partic-
ipation.
Approval of consent items
included:
Christine Houndshell as
head bus driver beginning Jan.
2 with an additional one hour
per day.
Lynn McNabb as lunch-
room substitute retroactive to
Oct. 17.
Bill Fish as a substitute
custodian.
Zac Feasby and Dan
Lehman as Saturday school
supervisors.
An overnight trip for the
yearbook class April 4-5 to
Kent State University with
teacher Amy Sorrell supervis-
ing.
Resolution accepting the
revised amounts and rates as
determined by the budget
commission and certify to the
county auditor.
Approved senior class trip
to Gatlinburg, Tenn. from
April 15-17.
Concerning the revised
amounts as determined by the
budget committee, the school
was informed that due to its
high level of cash on hand
along with other factors the
corporation will receive 3.0
mills instead of the earlier
projected amount of 4.95
mills. The savings to a home-
owner will amount to $68.25
annually on $100,000 valua-
tion.
QUESTION: I feel like my
daughters slipping away. I
want to be a great dad, but I
dont know how to connect
with her now that she has
reached the tween years.
JIM: The single most im-
portant thing you can do is
spend quality time with her.
This is a constant challenge for
me as I try to invest in my two
boys. Dr. Kevin Leman sug-
gests that the bond fathers de-
velop with their daughters
during times of real conversa-
tion and connection can pay
huge dividends.
According to Dr. Leman,
during the tween years fathers
need to adopt the policy of
dating their daughters on a
regular basis. Showing your
daughter that shes a high pri-
ority is essential for many rea-
sons. For one thing, it will help
her seek out men who will re-
spect her later in life. Affirm-
ing your daughters femininity
and treating her special con-
veys this important charge:
Honey, seek out someone
who will treat you right. If
you can demonstrate for your
daughter what a true gentle-
men is like someone who
honors, respects and values
her, shell be more likely to
gravitate toward men like that
when she begins dating.
So take your daughter out
for dinner or a round of minia-
ture golf, or something else
that interests her. I know this
can be tough, especially when
you also need to make time for
your other family members.
But its so important. The in-
vestment you make in your
daughter now will impact her
for the rest of her life.
QUESTION: Can you sug-
gest guidelines for modesty
in the home? I assume its ok
for my husband and me to
shower with our children
and change clothes in front
of them while theyre still
toddlers. Im just wondering
when we should stop doing
that. Any ideas?
DR. GREG SMALLEY,
vice president, Family Min-
istries: There isnt a hard and
fast rule for dealing with this
issue. Most pediatricians and
child development experts
agree that when a child begins
to express a desire for privacy
when naked or going to the
bathroom, thats the time par-
ents should begin to express
more personal modesty. This
typically occurs around the age
of 3 or 4. For some kids it may
be a little later.
Its also important that you
begin to instill a healthy view
of sexuality in your children
from an early age. You should
start when theyre toddlers,
using age-appropriate concepts
and language.
For example, when a young
child asks questions about
where babies come from, an-
swer their questions in a posi-
tive, straightforward manner.
Deflecting the question or
making an awkward reference
to the stork wont cut it! You
might say something like,
God made a special way for
mommies and daddies to have
babies. He uses a tiny little
seed from Daddy and a tiny lit-
tle egg from Mommy. The
seed and the egg come to-
gether inside Mommys
tummy, and then God does a
miracle and makes a new
baby. This kind of explana-
tion is typically sufficient for
most kids. You dont need to
go into a detailed description
of human physiology.
One more thing that is
bound to come up in your
home, if it hasnt already is
that most experts also recom-
mend using accurate names for
male and female genitalia.
Cutesy names or code words
can be confusing to a child,
By Jim Daly
and can unintentionally lead to
shame and embarrassment
down the road, especially with
other children.
For more guidance in this
area, check out Dr. Kevin
Leman and Kathy Flores
Bells book, A Chickens Guide
to Talking Turkey With Your
Kids About Sex.
Rick Heffner, singer extraordinaire, from Latty, helped the workers celebrate Thanksgiving at
PC Workshop by showing them how to karaoke.

AEP Ohio announces new way for
customers to get outage information
GAHANNA Customers
of AEP Ohio, a unit of Ameri-
can Electric Power, have a
new way to get information
when their service is affected
by power outages. With a new
web tool, customers now can
find out when their power will
be restored by logging into
their account on
AEPOhio.com.
We know outages are an
inconvenience and our cus-
tomers want to know when
their power will be back on,
said Karen Sloneker, director
of customer services and mar-
keting of AEP Ohio. While
customers can call us to find
out their estimated restoration
time, theyll now be able to
find the same information
through our website.
The new tool was put to the
test during the recent thunder-
storm. Despite the fact that its
availability was not yet widely
promoted, more than 5,100
visits to the outage status page
were noted.
This is a confirmation that
the tool is a success and will
go a long way in improving
customer experience and sat-
isfaction, Sloneker said.
To view outage information
through the website, cus-
tomers should:
Go to
AEPOhio.com/MyOutage
Enter their user ID and
password
The next screen will show
the estimated restoration time
and the cause of the outage
when it is identified.
The initial estimated
restoration time can change
after crews arrive on-site and
identify the outage cause after
assessing the line, pole and
equipment.
Customers are encouraged
to check the website periodi-
cally for updates on their out-
age.
Customers also are re-
minded to report their outage
if their outage is not reflected
on their account.
AEP Ohio is continually
working on ways to improve
customer experience and sat-
isfaction. Four new functions
that are available now or will
be available in the near future
include mobile payments, pa-
perless billing enrollment, mo-
bile alerts and AEPOhio.com
redesign. More information
about tools still in develop-
ment will be announced as
they come online.

Thanksgiving Day: Nov. 28, 2013
150th Anniversary of Lincoln Procla-
mation
In the fall of 1621, the Pilgrims, early
settlers of Plymouth Colony, held a
three-day feast to celebrate a bountiful
harvest, an event many regard as the na-
tions first Thanksgiving. The
Wampanoag, the Indians in attendance,
also played a lead role.
Historians have recorded ceremonies
of thanks among other groups of Euro-
pean settlers in North America, includ-
ing British colonists in Virginia in 1619.
The legacy of thanks and the feast have
survived the centuries, as the event be-
came a national holiday 150 years ago
(Oct. 3, 1863) when President Abraham
Lincoln proclaimed the last Thursday
of November as a national day of
thanksgiving.
Later, President Franklin Roosevelt
clarified that Thanksgiving should al-
ways be celebrated on the fourth Thurs-
day of the month to encourage earlier
holiday shopping, never on the occa-
sional fifth Thursday.
WHERE TO FEAST
115 million Number of occupied
housing units across the nation in sec-
ond quarter 2013.
4.4 million Number of multigener-
ational households in the U.S. in 2012.
These households, consisting of three
or more generations, no doubt will have
to purchase large quantities of food to
accommodate all the family members
sitting around the table for the holiday
feast even if there are no guests!
4 Number of places in the United
States named after the holidays tradi-
tional main course. Turkey Creek, La.,
was the most populous in 2012, with
440 residents, followed by Turkey,
Texas (415), Turkey, N.C. (295) and
Turkey Creek, Ariz. (294). There are
also two townships in Pennsylvania
with Turkey in the name: Upper
Turkeyfoot and Lower Turkeyfoot.
7 Number of places and townships
in the United States that are named
Cranberry or some spelling variation of
the acidic red berry (e.g., Cranbury,
N.J.), a popular side dish at Thanksgiv-
ing. Cranberry Township (Butler
County), Pa., was the most populous of
these places in 2012, with 28,832 resi-
dents. Cranberry township (Venango
County), Pa., was next (6,608). (Please
note that population totals for the two
places on the list that are census desig-
nated places Cranbury, N.J., with a
population of 2,181, and Cranberry
Lake, N.Y., with a population of 200
pertain to 2010.)
32 Number of counties, places and
townships in the United States named
Plymouth, as in Plymouth Rock, the
landing site of the first Pilgrims. The
two counties, both named Plymouth,
are in Massachusetts (2012 population
of 499,759) and Iowa (24,907 in 2012).
Plymouth, Minn., is the most populous
place, with 72,928 residents in 2012;
Plymouth, Mass., had 57,463 that year.
There are two places in the United
States named Pilgrim: One, a township
in Dade County, Mo., had a 2012 pop-
ulation of 127; the other, a census des-
ignated place in Michigan, had a 2010
population of 11.
And then there is Mayflower, Ark.,
whose population was 2,312 in 2012,
and Mayflower Village, Calif., whose
population was 5,515 in 2010.
PARTICIPANTS IN THE FIRST
FEAST
25.3 million Number of U.S. resi-
dents of English ancestry as of 2012.
Some could very well be descendants
of the Plymouth colonists who partici-
pated in the autumn feast that is widely
believed to be one of the first Thanks-
givings especially the 684,000 living
in Massachusetts.
6,500 Number of members of the
Wampanoag American Indian tribal
grouping, as of 2010, roughly half of
whom reside in Massachusetts. The
Wampanoag, the American Indians in
attendance, played a lead role in this
historic encounter, and they had been
essential to the survival of the colonists
during the newcomers first year. The
Wampanoag are a people with a sophis-
ticated society who have occupied the
region for thousands of years. They
have their own government, their own
religious and philosophical beliefs, their
own knowledge system, and their own
culture. They are also a people for
whom giving thanks was a part of daily
life.
PREPARING THE FEAST EN-
JOYING THE DAY AND THE
AFTERMATH
98.6% Percentage of households in
2011 with a gas or electric stove es-
sential for cooking their Thanksgiving
feast. Another 96.8 percent had a mi-
crowave, also helpful in preparing the
meal.
98.3% Percentage of households
with a television in 2011. No doubt,
many guests either before, after, or per-
haps even during the feast will settle in
front of their TVs to watch some foot-
ball.
35.8% Percentage of households
with a stand-alone food freezer in 2011,
which they may want to use to preserve
their Thanksgiving leftovers. Far more
(99.2 percent) have a refrigerator. Once
all the guests leave, it will be time to
clean up. Fortunately, 69.3 percent have
a dishwasher to make the task easier.
CULINARY DELIGHTS
64,366 The number of supermar-
kets and other grocery (except conven-
ience) stores in the United States in
2011. These establishments are ex-
pected to be extremely busy around
Thanksgiving, as people prepare for
their delightful meals.
3,889 The number of baked goods
stores in the United States in 2011 a
potential place to visit to purchase re-
freshing desserts.
2,918 The number of fruit and veg-
etable markets in the United States in
2011 a great place to find holiday side
dishes.
254 million The number of turkeys
raised in the United States in 2012. That
is up 2 percent from the number raised
during 2011.
46 million The estimate of turkeys
Minnesota raised in 2012. The Gopher
State was tops in turkey production, fol-
lowed by North Carolina (36 million),
Arkansas (29 million), Missouri (18
million), Virginia (17 million), Indiana
(17 million) and California (16 million).
These seven states together accounted
for about 70 percent of U.S. turkeys
produced in 2012.
$23.1 million The value of U.S. im-
ports of live turkeys for 2012, with 99.8
percent of them coming from Canada.
When it comes to sweet potatoes, the
Dominican Republic was the source of
51.1 percent ($4.6 million) of total im-
ports ($9.1 million). The United States
ran a $17.6 million trade deficit in live
turkeys during the period but had a sur-
plus of $71.2 million in sweet potatoes.
768 million pounds The forecast
for U.S. cranberry production in 2012.
Wisconsin was estimated to lead all
states in the production of cranberries,
with 450 million pounds, followed by
Massachusetts (estimated at 210 mil-
lion). New Jersey, Oregon and Wash-
ington were also estimated to have
substantial production, ranging from 14
to 54 million pounds.
2.6 billion pounds The total weight
of sweet potatoes another popular
Thanksgiving side dish produced by
major sweet potato producing states in
2012. North Carolina (1.2 billion
pounds) produced more sweet potatoes
than any other state, followed by Cali-
fornia, Mississippi and Louisiana.

Senior Spotlight
Colton Hall uses wrestling to
learn about life off the mat
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
ANTWERP When
wrestling got its start at
Antwerp High School three
years ago, Colton Hall, a
sophomore at the time, de-
cided to give it a try. Admit-
ting he had never wrestled
and knew virtually nothing
about the sport, Colton
wanted to do something in
the winter that would help
him develop into a better
football player.
When looking back at his
early beginnings as a young
inexperienced wrestler, Hall
recalls how hard it was for
him.
It was tough. I never had
wrestled and I was going up
against guys who had been
wrestling their whole life, he
said.
Colton credits his head
coach, Jeremy Koesch, and
the rest of the coaching staff
for working with him and
preparing him for what he
would face. I knew nothing
about the sport. With no ex-
perience they had to teach me
about the moves and the tech-
niques of wrestling. Colton
said.
As a persistent young ath-
lete, committed and dedicated
to the sport, Hall the only
senior on the team has
stayed with it, worked hard,
and has developed his skills
into being a much better
wrestler. With the season just
around the corner, the senior
captain believes in himself
and has set some lofty goals.
To have a successful sea-
son, I want a conference
championship, and in the
tournament I would like to
make it to the districts, he
said.
Originally, Colton attended
Wayne Trace and moved to
Antwerp his freshman year.
As a football player he quickly
got involved after moving to
Archer country. The move
was a little weird, but playing
football allowed me to get to
know people and develop
some friendships, he said.
Being a sophomore and en-
during the growing pains of
helping develop the new
wrestling program has al-
lowed Colton to grow as a
young man and to see the pos-
itive more so than the nega-
tive.
Sure, there was the lack of
experience and it hurts when
you first start out and you
struggle against someone a lit-
tle bigger and stronger who
has the experience to his ad-
vantage, but I didnt use my
lack of experience as a crutch.
I just worked harder and
stepped up my game, he said.
When asked why he wres-
tles, Colton didnt hesitate in
giving his answer. I just love
the game and I love the guys
Im with who are on the
team.
Besides wrestling, Colton
was an offensive tackle and
defensive end for the Archer
football team, where he col-
lected 16 tackles this past sea-
son. As a member of the track
team, Colton throws the shot
put and discus as well as runs
the 100m. Coltons mother,
Susie, and his stepdad, Kirk,
attend a majority of Coltons
games and he appreciates their
support. His dad, Craig, has a
hard time making it to all his
sporting events because of his
work schedule, but tries to see
Colton play as much as possi-
ble.
Its nice to have them their
so they can see how the hard
work in practice pays off,
said Colton.
Colton describes himself as
just an average guy who plans
to attend college after graduat-
ing next spring.
I want to go to college and
pursue a financial accounting
degree, he said. When asked
what he sees in his life five
years from now he has a sim-
ple yet rewarding vision.
Well, hopefully college will
be over and I will have a job
as an accountant and living a
very comfortable life, he
said.
You cant help but believe
in this young man who wanted
to be a part of something new,
who made the choice to work
hard and make the sacrifice in
order to see a wrestling pro-
gram develop and succeed
past the infant stage. With a
dedication and commitment to
love what he does on a
wrestling mat, you just have a
feeling he will one day have a
successful career as an ac-
countant because of the com-
mitment and discipline he
learned as an Antwerp Archer.

3 Wayne Trace wrestlers
named in state rankings
HAVILAND Three
wrestlers from Wayne Trace
are named in the initial Bucks-
man State Rankings this year.
Sophomore George
Clemens is ranked ninth in the
113lb weight class. Ranking
13th in the 120lb weight class
is freshman Ruger Goeltzen-
leuchter. Senior Dustin Taylor
is 14th in the 126lb weight
class.
Coach Clemens com-
mented, Although it is excit-
ing to see their names listed, I
have to remind them it is just
a persons opinion.
Clemens further added, I
am very surprised some of my
other wrestlers didnt make
the list. One being junior Tyler
Showalter. Tyler was one
point away from advancing to
the state tournament last year.
As well as junior Zaine Cot-
terman, which Cotterman had
been out most of the wrestling
season last year due to a knee
injury.
Clemens said how very ex-
cited he is for this years
wrestling season.
Good luck this year to all of
the Wayne Trace wrestlers ...
will the rankings stand true?

Payne Village to purchase
ambulance, EMS equipment
Antwerp Council passes two
motions in emergency session
By JOE SHOUSE
Correspondent
ANTWERP The Antwerp
Village Council met in emer-
gency session on Monday
evening at 5 p.m. to acknowl-
edge two matters of impor-
tance.
One item of business was
acting upon the necessary first
step in order for the Market
Place grocery store to receive
a liquor permit. Doug Bragg,
owner of the grocery store, is
seeking a transfer of a C-1 and
C-2 permit allowing him to
sell liquor at his store.
The initial step is for Bragg
to provide information sup-
porting how the transfer
would provide economic de-
velopment for the community.
An investment of $30,000
along with tax revenue of
$10,000 in sales tax and $600
in municipal taxes are esti-
mated. Bragg also estimates
four jobs will be created by the
project.
In our last meeting, he
(Bragg) commented that his
store is not profitable and he is
doing all he can to make a go
of it. We need to support him
as he moves forward, said
village administrator Sara
Keeran.
After reading the transfer
form presented by Bragg and
acknowledging he is seeking
the transfer for economic de-
velopment purposes, the mo-
tion was made to acknowledge
the transfer permit allowing
Bragg to continue the process
necessary to receive his li-
cense. The motion passed
unanimously.
Upon presenting the pro-
posed water and sewer in-
creases to Paragon Tempered
Glass (formerly Spec-Temp)
motion to offer Paragon a 2
percent increase in water and
sewer rates in 2014 with no in-
crease the following year. The
motion unanimously passed.
following the last council
meeting, both Paragon and the
village agreed verbally with
the amounts. Therefore, a sec-
ond item of business was a

Default judgment
entered against TDM3
PAULDING A default
judgment was entered on be-
half of the Paulding County
Commissioners Oct. 31 in
their case against TDM3, Ltd.
and others.
Common Pleas Court Judge
Tiffany Reighter-Beckman
found that the commissioners
were due $60,018.76 on a
promissory note from April
2009, with interest.
The Clerk of Courts is to
issue an order of sale to the
sheriff to sell property in
Antwerp that was used as col-
lateral for the note which se-
cured a Revolving Loan Fund
from the county through the
office of Paulding County
Economic Development.
The commissioners had re-
quested a declaration that they
have valid first and best lien
on real property located on
Woodcox, Oak, Park, and
West Woodcox streets, other-
wise known as the Antwerp
baseball fields. This was
granted.
They had also asked for
$60,018.76 plus interest since
June 30 along with accrued
taxes, assessments, penalties,
and preliminary and judicial
reporting fees and court costs
through the sale of property
described above. This, too,
was approved.
The board of county com-
missioners had filed the fore-
closure action against several
persons formerly connected
with the Manor House on
Aug. 2. Their complaint for
foreclosure of mortgage with
a preliminary judicial report
was against TDM3, Ltd.,
Antwerp; Louis A. and Mary
L. Lengacher, both of Wood-
burn, Ind.; the USA, U.S. At-
torney General in Washington,
D.C. and the U.S. Attorneys
office in Toledo.
It was noted that the USA
has interest in this action be-
cause of two federal tax liens,
totaling nearly $32,000,
against TDM3 Ltd. This ac-
tion was dismissed with prej-
udice in early October.
Paulding County Commis-
sioners entered into a promis-
sory note agreement with
TDM3, Ltd. in the sum of
$80,000 in April 2009. The
Lengachers delivered their
personal guarantee for repay-
ment of the note the same day.
Also that day, TDM3 Ltd.
delivered to the commission-
ers a mortgage agreement for
$80,000 plus interest.
The original complaint al-
leged the defendants were in
default of the terms of the note
and owed $60,018.76 plus in-
terest from June 30, 2013.
Lengachers have filed a
Chapter 7 bankruptcy in the
Northern Indiana Federal
Bankruptcy Court, while
TDM3 Ltd. has done the same
in the Northern Ohio Federal
Bankruptcy Court.
A relief from Stay and aban-
donment of the property in
question was granted on July
26.
On Nov. 30, start the holiday
season by Shopping Small
Operation Christmas Child
packing shoe boxes
WASHINGTON, D.C.
Most Americans know Black
Friday and Cyber Monday are
big days for holiday shopping.
But between the two is an-
other important part of the hol-
iday shopping season Small
Business Saturday, a day that
is dedicated to supporting the
small businesses that anchor
our local communities and
strengthen our economy.
From the Main Street
shops to the high-tech start-
ups, small businesses are the
backbone of our economy and
the cornerstones of a diverse
and thriving marketplace.
These businesses create two
out of every three net new pri-
vate sector jobs, and half of
working Americans either
own or work for a small busi-
ness, said Jeanne Hulit, act-
ing administrator of the U.S.
Small Business Administra-
tion (SBA).
By shopping small and
supporting local business, we
all have a role to play in giving
millions of families the oppor-
tunity to achieve the American
dream.
Small Business Saturday is
a nationwide initiative that
bring Americans together to
support these businesses, with
the money you spend going
right back into your local
economy, and thats important
because we know that half of
working Americans either
own or work for a small busi-
ness.
Started in 2010, Small Busi-
ness Saturday has boosted hol-
iday sales in Main Street
businesses around the coun-
try. Last year, nearly 70 mil-
lion people shopped small in
their communities for an esti-
mated $5.5 billion in sales to
independently owned small
businesses.
Small Business Saturday
falls on Nov. 30 and there are
a number of ways to get in-
volved:
Small business owners
can register their business
at www.smallbusinesssatur-
day.com.
Sign up to rally your
neighborhood, list your busi-
ness so customers know where
to find you, and receive free
Small Business Saturday pro-
motional materials. You can
also check out SBAs tips on
how to prepare for the holiday
season at www.sba.gov/satur-
day.
If you are a customer, find
events in your community and
participating local businesses
at www.smallbusinesssatur-
day.com. Small businesses are
listed in communities large
and small across the country,
and together we can support
them with our business.
By starting your holiday
season at the coffee shop on
the corner or the bakery down-
town, you can support all the
things that make our commu-
nities great.

PAULDING Operation
Christmas Child is celebrating
over 20 years of bringing love
and Jesus to children around
the world one shoe box at a
time. With holiday supplies al-

are working to make Christ-

around the world by filling
shoe boxes with toys, school
supplies, hygiene items and
notes of encouragement.
is the worlds largest Christ-
mas project of its kind. The
Paulding relay center was at
the Paulding Church of the
Nazarene Family Life Center
on Dooley Drive. The 2013
collection week was Nov. 18-
25 and this year the Paulding
group filled 229 shoe boxes.
This is an outreach ministry
of Samaritans Purse and they
have sent over 100 million
gift-filled shoe boxes to chil-
dren in 100 countries since
1993. At the local collection
site in Paulding, anyone could
drop off a gift-filled shoe box
to be sent to a child overseas.
Then using whatever means
necessary, trucks, trains, boats,
bikes and even elephants, the
shoe box gifts will be deliv-
ered to children worldwide.
For many children, the shoe
box gift will be the first gift
they have ever received.
Though the shoe box gifts
will often travel thousands of
miles, Operation Christmas
Child offers a way for partici-
pants to follow their box by
using the donation form found
at samaritanspurse.org.
Donors will receive an email
telling the country where their
shoe boxes are delivered.
This year, Operation Christ-
mas Child hopes to collect an-
other 9.8 million gift-filled
shoe boxes.

Even though National Col-

shoe boxes was Nov. 18-25,
shoe box gifts are collected all

headquarters in Boone, N.C.
Participants

PAULDING Collections
continue around the county for
the Christmas For Kids program
which will benefit over 400
children in Paulding County this
year.
Christmas For Kids is a series
of live broadcasts over WDFM
Mix 98.1 radio station at which
money and toy drives are held
in northwest Ohio. Proceeds re-
ceived in Paulding County re-
main in Paulding County for
distribution.
On Monday, a three-hour live
drive around the courthouse
square in Paulding marked the
midway point for collections in
the county. Three have passed
and three more are coming.
Next time the 98.1 crew,
along with their partners from
the Marine Corps League, is in
the county will be Monday,
Dec. 2 at Wayne Trace High
School from 7 to 9 a.m.
The next day, Tuesday, Dec.
3, a live-drive will be hosted at
Williamson Insurance in Payne
from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. The final
drive in the county will be Dec.
11 at First Federal Bank in
Paulding from 11 a.m.-1 p.m.
Last day for collections for
the program is Dec. 13.
Anyone who would like to
make a financial donation may
do so by making a check
payable to Christmas For Kids
and mailing it to either Mix 98.1
at 2110 Radio Drive, Defiance
OH 43512, or to Paulding
County Senior Center/NOCAC,
c/o CFK attention: Becky, 401
E. Jackson St., Paulding OH
45879. Make a notation on the
memo line as to which county
the donation is to be designated.
Becky Michaels with North-
western Ohio Community Ac-
tion Commission (NOCAC) is
in charge of distribution in
Paulding County and assisted
with Mondays collections.
There is always such a good
turnout in Paulding, she said.
Everyone supports the Christ-
mas For Kids so well, from the
little kids with dollar bills or
change from in the car to busi-
nesses who give hundreds of
dollars.
Michaels said area businesses
have been kind as well as gen-
erous.
We could feel the love
today, she said, noting a couple
local businesses brought them
hot sandwiches, drinks and
doughnuts against the cold and
wind. She added numerous
drivers brought hot coffee as
well.
Additionally, they had sur-
prise help show up Monday.
We were really blessed
today, said Michaels. A local
Marine stopped by and said
Im here to help. He collected
donations on the northeast cor-
ner of the square.
Michaels said sign up for the
program has already passed. A
record 443 children have been
signed up to receive benefits
from the donations. Last year,
390 children were assisted.
Distribution will be con-
ducted from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. on
both Dec. 9 and 10 at the Pauld-
ing County Sheriffs Office.
Department personnel have
also been volunteering to pick
up toy donations, which are
being stored at the sheriffs of-
fice.
This is the 19th year for the
Christmas For Kids program in
northwest Ohio. Donations are
collected and distributed not
only in Paulding, but also Defi-
ance, Henry, Fulton and
Williams counties, plus a por-
tion of Putnam County in the
Continental area.
This years live-drive pro-
gram has bonus days accord-
ing to Rick Small of WDFM
98.1. These are due to Thanks-
giving being later than normal.
The added time has afforded ad-
ditional live drives, 77 this year
as opposed to 60-some last year.
Small is looking forward to
the Mall Marathon, Dec. 6-7 at
the Northtowne Mall in Defi-
ance.
For the past two years we
have collected $80,000 during
the marathon, he said. This
money is split five ways, be-
tween the five full counties.
Children and students, ages
zero through high school sen-
iors, benefit from distributions
of not only toys, but also cloth-
ing, food and bedding.
Small said dollar values of
donated toys is not recorded, but
monetary donations for the life
of this program is approaching
$2.25 million.
The first year we did this,
we collected $1,200 and used
toys that we refurbished. Now
we collect close to a quarter
million dollars annually. Last
years total was $235,000, said
Small.
We dont set an annual goal.
We never do that, he said. But
it always seems to grow. The
neat thing about Paulding
County is that they know how
to take care of their own. The
courthouse drive grows annu-
ally. Christmas For Kids has be-
come a Christmas tradition for
many people. I love to hear
that.
Christmas For Kids to help
400+ in the county this season
Denise Gebers/Paulding County Progress
Representatives from 98.1 radio station and Marine Corps
League Department of Ohio braved the cold Monday for a three-
hour Christmas For Kids live-drive around the courthouse
square. Ray Dailey, Ohios MCL commandant, was posted at the

As we approach the upcoming holiday season, I`d
like to pause for a moment and thank the Wayne
Trace faculty & staff and the families in our
community for making student-learning the high-
est priority in our district. We must all remember
that what takes place during the regular school
day is the most important part of the school expe-
rience. We will continue to have high academic
expectations for all students, and family support is
critical for these expectations to be met.
Speaking of family support, thank you to all
family members who attended the recent parent/
teacher conferences held at all three school build-
ings. Remember, you may set up a conference
with your child(ren)`s teachers at any time, not
just during parent/teacher conIerences. As I`ve
stated many times, educating a child is a joint
endeavor between the school and home.
In academic news, our Race to the Top transfor-
mation team continues to emphasize our third
goal, the Ohio Teacher Evaluation System, which
has gone into eIIect this school year. We`re also
working diligently to provide training for our
teachers on student learning outcomes and
academic content standards. As stated before, the
manner in which Ohio students are to be tested is
changing drastically in the 2014-2015 school year,
and we continue to stay ahead of the curve by
introducing the new standards to both the teachers
and students. The Ohio Department of Education
is raising the bar, and student success on state-
mandated tests may see a sudden decline across
the state of Ohio. For example, in the state of
Kentucky the state-wide passage rate on state-
mandated tests went from 80% in 2010-2011
(with the old system) to 36% in 2011-2012 (with
the new system). Ohio has adopted the same test
that Kentucky is currently using. Obviously, we
will work very hard to prevent such a drastic
decline in our students` perIormances, but the
tests are clearly going to be more difficult, forcing
all Ohio school districts to expect more from their
students in upcoming years.
In other academic news, we extend much appreci-
ation to our local farming community for nomi-
nating our JH/HS for the Monsanto Grant, a grant
given to schools with rich farming traditions.
This exclusive grant, totally $25,000 this school
year, has allowed us to further upgrade our tech-
nology department by adding several more lap
tops for use by our students. We now live in a
world where a great deal of learning and daily-life
revolve around technology and the Internet, so the
addition of more computers is greatly appreciated
by staff and students alike at Wayne Trace JH/HS.
Turning to school transportation, we are
approaching the time of year where our hazardous
weather situations are likely to turn from fog to
snow and ice. When it comes to making decisions
about whether to delay or cancel school, the good
news is that snow and ice seem to be a little more
consistent and predictable than what fog is.
Although bad winter weather may set in after
buses are out, this is less-likely to happen than
with fog. With that said, please demand that your
student-drivers slow down and use caution during
the winter season. Likewise, we will continue to
use common sense when calling school delays and
cancellations with the safety of our students of
utmost importance.
Congratulations go out to Miss Sharon Spinner,
Mrs. Joni Wenninger, Mrs. Judy Snook and the
entire performing and visual arts departments for
the outstanding Fine Arts Festival held at the JH/
HS on November 9. Countless hours of behind-
the-scenes work goes into making such an event a
success, and we`d like to thank the teachers and
the Wayne Trace students Ior their work. We`d
also like to express our gratitude to everyone who
attended the festival and for their support of our
performing and visual arts departments.
Thanks also go out to the staff members who
organized this year`s Veterans` Day assemblies at
each school building and to the Veterans in our
community who attended one of the assemblies.
From everyone at Wayne Trace Local Schools,
thank you for your service to our great nation.
With the approaching Christmas season, Wayne
Trace student organizations will be sponsoring
various food, clothing, and gift drives. If you are
able, please consider helping those less fortunate
than you are. Helping others is the real gift of
life.
As always, if you have questions or concerns
about your child`s educational experience at
Wayne Trace, feel free to contact your building
principal or superintendent.
Go Raiders!

SENIOR CITIZENS DINNER FOR $1
MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS NOW!
Our 18th annual Senior Citizen`s Dinner Ior $1 is
scheduled for Thursday, December 12, at 12:45
p.m. in the Jr. High gym. We invite you to enjoy
a delicious meal while being entertained by our
many talented students.
We ask those coming to please park on the north
side of the school since this is the closest entrance
to the gym.
To register for this luncheon or for additional
information, please call Kathie Kipfer in the High
School at 419-399-4100.
We hope to see many of you there!

Laurie Delong, Director of Student Services
Our special education staff is involved in profes-
sional development throughout the year. One
group is participating in a PEERS project to
evaluate the "Unique Learning System". This is a
webweb-based curriculum for students with
significant delays. Staff members participating are
Michelle Berry, Harry Florence, Rosanah Foster,
Jennifer Moran, Kerry Shelton, Heather Shepherd,
Valerie DeVelvis and Michelle Hanneman.
In December 2011, Ohio was awarded the Race to
the Top Early Learning Challenge Grant. Ohio
made a commitment to revise and expand the
current tiered Step Up to Quality (SUTQ) system
and broaden participation to all early childhood
settings (including school districts, child care, and
family care). This expanded system will rate and
monitor all state-funded early learning programs.
Our preschool teachers, Susan Backus, Sara
Linder, and Linda Utendorf will be participating
in training on the proposed standards, which will
be the basis of Ohio's monitoring and continuous
improvement system. The standards are for chil-
dren from birth to age 5 years and include
academic and developmental areas.
WT PAYNE ELEMENTARY
Jody L. Dunham, Principal
We are very proud of our students at Wayne Trace
Payne Elementary! The students are not only
learning academic content by leaps and bounds,
but they are learning life skills. Our fifth and
sixth grade students are becoming more involved
in supporting their school by serving other class-
rooms and assisting with building upkeep.
Students are taking pride in helping others.
We wish to thank the families who attended our
Parent-Teacher conferences. Teachers met with
the families of 76.4% of our students. Confer-
ences are not limited to October. We want fami-
lies to know that our staff is willing to meet with
them year round.
Wayne Trace Payne Elementary has adopted a
new strategy for lockdown procedures known as
the A.L.I.C.E. plan. A.L.I.C.E. is an acronym for
ALERT, LOCKDOWN, INFORM, COUNTER,
and EVACUATE. Letters were sent home to
families on November 7 explaining this drill. The
Paulding County SheriII`s Department assisted
with this drill on November 12. At that drill, we
practiced the ALERT, LOCKDOWN and
INFORM components. The COUNTER and
EVACUATE portions will be practiced in the
future.
A special thank you is extended to the Payne Fire
Department for presenting a fire safety program
and for providing our students with a back pack.
Students were reminded to visit with their families
about the importance of having a fire safety plan
at home.
We wish to thank the community for supporting
our Market Day Pie Fundraiser. A profit of more
than $1,200 was raised to fund our field trips and
assemblies. Joey Branham and Mya Endicott
were the top boy and girl salesmen. Their reward
was to throw a pie in the principal`s Iace!
The community is invited to join us for our
Christmas program on December 13, at 9:30 and
1:30 in our auditorium. We look forward to
seeing you then.
We wish each of you a blessed Christmas Season.

WT GROVER HILL ELEMENTARY
Kevin E. Wilson, Principal
For the GH staff and students December marks
the beginning oI rehearsals Ior this year`s Christ-
mas program, the beginning of the Student
Council`s Iood drive, as well as many other
activities.
This year`s Christmas program will be Tuesday,
December 10 with the first performance at 1:30
and the final performance will be at 7:00. This
year there will not be a Thursday night perfor-
mance, but instead we will create more seating at
the 1:30 performance. Parking is always an issue
and I ask you to keep in mind that Perry Street is a
one way street with houses on the north side.
Please be respectful of these families and not park
on the north side of Perry Street.
Bullying seems to be a topic we read or hear
about almost daily, whether in professional sports
or schools. To help our students understand more
about preventing bullying, we will have two
presentations on December 12; The first at 1:00
for K-3 students followed by a 2:00 presentation
for grades 4-6. Our staff is working hard to pre-
vent bullying, but this issue is something that we
need your assistance with. When your child
comes home from school on December 12 take
some time to sit down and discuss what they
learned at the presentation. Thank you for your
assistance in helping to preventing bullying.
The PTO will be holding their annual basket raffle
and bake sale during the Christmas program. This
year there will be four baskets to choose from: an
Ohio State Basket; a Christmas Wreath; a Movie
Basket; and a Man`s/Komet Hockey Basket.
Tickets may be purchased in the office beginning
Monday, December 2. The cost is $1.00 for one
ticket or $5.00 for 6 tickets. Proceeds are used to
benefit the GH students and school.
Our Student Council will be organizing their
annual Iood drive to help the area churches` Iood
pantry. The food drive will run from November
25 through December 10. Items to be collected
include canned goods. boxed goods, baby wipes,
diapers, cereals, laundry items, hygiene items, and
cleaning supplies. You may send your items to
school with your child or if you do not have a
child in school, you may bring your items to the
school office between the 8:00 and 3:00. Thank
you for helping to make a better Christmas for a
needy family.
If you are interested in ordering a yearbook, you
still have time. In January information concern-
ing ordering a yearbook will again be made avail-
able. Parents this will be your last chance to order
this year`s yearbook. II you would like to order at
this time contact the GH oIIice. Don`t miss out
on this great opportunity to purchase your 2013-
2014 yearbook.
The staff and I would like to thank all of the par-
ents who were able to attend Parent/Teacher
Conferences. Today in education it is so im-
portant for the teachers and parents to keep the
lines of communication open and Parent/Teacher
Conferences were a great way to do just that. If
for some reason you were unable to attend the
conferences but would still like to speak with your
child`s teacher you may do so by contacting the
GH office.
Our Student Council, along with Mrs. Davis and
Mrs. Wieland, are to be commended for an
outstanding Veteran`s Day program. A special
thank you goes to Mr. Gail Scarbrough for his
willingness to share with the Grover Hill students
and veterans. It was also a pleasure to see so many
veterans stay after the program to enjoy lunch
with our students.
At this time, I want to wish you a very Merry
Christmas and a Happy New Year.

WT JR./SR. HIGH SCHOOL
Greg Leeth, Principal
The first grading period has come and gone, and
we are rapidly closing in on the end of the first
semester. If you have not had the opportunity to
do so, I encourage you to call or email your
child`s teachers to introduce yourselI and to
involve yourself in his or her education.
Students attending the Jr. /Sr. High School have
tremendous talents and abilities that are show-
cased in a variety of ways. I would like to extend
my appreciation to Mrs. Joni Wenninger,
Ms. Sharon Spinner, and Mrs. Judi Snook for the
outstanding Fall Arts Festival held November 9.
There was food, artwork displayed, and musical
performances by the band, choir, and Ft. Wayne
Symphonic Brass Quintet.
I also want to thank the social studies department
and music department Ior the Veteran`s Day
Assembly. Several veterans and guests indicated
that it was the best program they have ever
attended. I concur. If you are able, I encourage
you to attend next year`s celebration; I assure you
that you will be touched.
On November 27, the National Honor Society will
conduct its annual induction ceremony beginning
at 1:40 p.m.
Congratulations to Coach Bill Speller, his staff,

caller threw for 3,132 yards
in regular season play, com-
pleting 191 of 326 passes
with 40 touchdowns. Speice
also ran for 371 yards on 101
carries with six going for
scores.
Speice also had a fine sea-
son defensively, leading the
red, white and blue with 73
tackles and 14 tackles for a
loss.
Colby had a tremendous
season for us, noted Raider
head coach Bill Speller. He
has worked so hard and put
in so much time on improv-
ing his game. He is so smart
on the football field and is a
leader for us.
Wenzlick posted 63 tackles
for Wayne Trace to go along
with 9.5 tackles for a loss and
a team-leading nine sacks on
the season. The Raider senior
was a key figure on a Wayne
Trace defense that allowed
only 176 yards of total of-
fense a contest.
Devin was an extremely
hard worker, Speller noted
of his senior defensive line-
man. He is a leader in the
locker room and is a
spokesperson on the team.
Devin put in a lot of hard
work to make himself the
player he has become this
year.
Five other Wayne Trace
players were named to the
First Team as well.
Senior wide receiver/de-
fensive back Jake Gerber,
senior running back/defen-
sive back Jared Sherry, senior
offensive/defensive lineman
Brock Worden, senior wide
receiver/defensive back Ko-
rbin Showalter and junior
linebacker Tyler Showalter
also garnered First Team
honors.
Jake Gerber posted 47 re-
ceptions for 643 yards with
seven scores for Wayne
Trace. Gerber also posted 43
tackles on the season with 3.5
tackles for a loss and three
interceptions.
Jared Sherry paced
Wayne Trace with 738 rush-
ing yards on 105 carries, 10
of which resulted in touch-
downs. He also added 41
stops, including 4.5 tackles
for a loss.
Brock Worden recorded
69 tackles for the red, white
and blue and finished the
year with 10 tackles for a loss
and six sacks. Worden also
recovered a pair of fumbles.
Korbin Showalter posted
54 receptions to top Raider
receivers, totaling 1,129
yards and 16 touchdowns. He
also led the Raider defense
with five interceptions.
Tyler Showalter picked
up 70 tackles to finish second
on the squad in stops while
picking up 7.5 tackles for a
loss and 1.5 sacks.
Pauldings Julian Salinas
and Quentin Vance also re-
ceived First Team honors as
did Antwerps Tyler Mess-
man and Derek Smalley.
Julian Salinas threw for
704 yards, completing 65 of
136 passes, for the Panthers
while also running for 768
yards on 127 carries with 11
scores. Salinas also posted 32
tackles on the year.
Quentin Vance recorded
218 rushing yards on 37 tries
and added 23 receptions for
291 yards. He also led Pauld-
ing with three interceptions.
Derek Smalley passed for
335 yards for the Archers and
ran for 116 more. Smalley

sively, Smalley had 40 tack-
les with two tackles for a
loss.
Tyler Messman led
county running backs with
826 yards on the ground, car-
rying it 183 times with five
going for touchdowns. Mess-
man also paced the Archer
defense with 88 tackles, in-
cluding six sacks and two
tackles for a loss. Messman
also had a pair of intercep-
tions.
Devin was an extremely hard worker. He is a leader in the locker room and is a spokesperson on the team.

Lady Raiders drop
2 in Tip Off Classic
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
VAN WERT Wayne
Trace battled both host Van
Wert and Ottoville, but the
Lady Raiders came up on the
short end of a pair of results
in last weekends McDon-
alds Tip Off Classic.
In the opener, Van Wert led
at each quarter break as the
Lady Cougars held off visit-
ing Wayne Trace, 59-50.
The Cougars posted an 11-
10 lead after one quarter and
widened the margin to 25-21
at the intermission. Van Wert
was in front, 41-33, entering
the final period.
Sophomore Erin Mohr
topped Wayne Trace with 22
points and a dozen rebounds
with Brenda Feasby adding
11 markers. Shayna Temple
also chipped in ten points and
four assists. Madi Poling also
dished out four assists while
recording five steals.
Lauren Speice and Sylvia
Young posted six points and
one marker, respectively, for
Wayne Trace.
Erin Morrow paced the
host Cougars with 16 points,
six rebounds and five steals.
Claire Butler added 13 mark-
ers and five caroms while
Alexis Dowdy posted a dozen
markers and eight boards.
On Saturday, Ottoville over-
came a six-point fourth quar-
ter deficit to post a 54-49 win
over the Raiders.
Wayne Trace led 13-9 after
one quarter and the Raiders
led 23-21 at the intermission.
After the red, white and
blue posted a 38-32 advantage
entering the final stanza, Ot-
toville doubled up the Raiders
22-11 in the fourth quarter to
rally for the victory.
Mohr led the Raiders with
16 points while also grabbing
nine rebounds. Feasby
chipped in 11 markers and
Temple posted six points.
Lauren Speice topped the
red, white and blue with 16 re-
bounds and Poling dished out
four assists.
Speice, Brooke Wilcox,
Poling and Young all added
four points each for Wayne
Trace.
Annie Lindeman paced Ot-
toville with 19 points and six
caroms while Brooke Mangas
chipped in 13 markers, six
boards and seven steals. Tay-
lor Mangas also added nine
points and 11 rebounds.

Antwerp football struggles for
wins but not with character
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
ANTWERP With winter
sports under way at area
schools and because I have
the privilege of covering the
Antwerp sports scene for the
Paulding Progress I want to
write one last wrap up arti-
cle about the Archer football
program for 2013.
Often times we (and I in-
clude myself) are guilty of
looking at a team record and
sum up how they had a great
season or a terrible one sim-
ply based on wins and loses.
It would be easy to look at the
Archers and think how a 1-9
season was terrible and the
team was simply awful. But,
its not all about winning,
even though we live in a so-
ciety that says winning is
everything. Going 10-0
would have been a dream
season. After all, no one
wants to go 1-9.
I guarantee that back in
July and August under the hot
sun during two-a-day prac-
tices there was not a coach
wearing the blue and white or
a player who was thinking
hey, lets work hard for a 1-9
record. No one wanted to win
more than the coaching staff
and the players who represent
Antwerp. And though 1-9
was the result, its hard not to
be disappointed. But under-
neath the grass-stained uni-
form and that helmet is a
group of young men who are
truly winners.
Currently the Archers will
need to regroup as they look
ahead to the 2014 season. Six
seniors will graduate includ-
ing quarterback Derek Smal-
ley and running back Tyler
Messman. Smalley was in-
jured late in the season and
missed the Archers final three
contests. The signal caller to-
taled 335 yards on 28 of 79
passes.
On the ground, Messman
was the teams workhorse
with 826 yards on 183 at-
tempts.
Other seniors graduating
who played with Archer pride
were Colton Stout, Eric
Miesle, Colton Hall, and Dal-
ton Gremling.
We are losing our six sen-
iors plus an exchange stu-
dent, said head coach Drew
Altimus. The coach also re-
ceived the news of two prom-
ising sophomores who have
left the district.
Both Bevin and Bryce Hall
are now attending New Haven
High School in Indiana. So
that makes nine players we
will lose, said Altimus.
Bevin Hall filled in for
Smalley at the QB position
and was looked upon as the
team leader coming into next
season.
Its tough when you lose
your quarterback. We have
been grooming him for two
years to take the QB spot and
now we look ahead without a
quarterback, said Altimus.
In the off season the Archers
will continue to work hard and
prepare for a better future.
These kids have worked so
hard and deserve to be hon-
ored for their character. They
play the game because they
love it. Its during these times
of adversity when you learn
more about yourself. I know
these kids and they deserve
the recognition for sticking
with the program even when
many of their peers and com-
munity are negative. They
have learned a lot about them-
selves and I know I am a bet-
ter coach for going through
these lean years, Altimus
said.
Coach Altimus knows he
will see another small class in
the near future. We lose nine
and will probably gain six or
so. Its an ongoing battle with
numbers, he said.
Returning next year will be
Justice Clark, Matt Jones,
Trenton Copsey, Trey Mills,
Conner Jenkins, Nick Barn-
house, Austin Wendt, Alex
Vail, Houston Mansfield,
Cainan Carlisle, Mike Taylor,
Jarett Bute, Jacob Sukup, Car-
los Sanchez and Jordan Laker.
Those who made an impact
this past season were Clark
and Barnhouse who combined
for 259 rushing yards in 69
totes and four touchdowns.
Several top tacklers will return
including Clark (61), Taylor
(47), Sanchez (38), Copsey
(34), Barnhouse (31). Bute,
the teams punter with a 38.1
yard average will also return
for the Archers. Top receiver
Trenton Copsey had 15 grabs
for 205 yards.
Its true that a small school
like Antwerp struggles with
having a large number of play-
WT boys games
are rescheduled
The Wayne Trace vs.
Crestview boys basketball
game, originally scheduled
for Nov. 29, has been
rescheduled for Dec. 28. The
game will be at Wayne Trace
High School with a junior
varsity start time of 6 p.m.
The Nov. 29 game was to

Wayne Trace will not be par-
ticipating. The Tip Off is now
Van Wert vs. Lincolnview on
Friday, Nov. 29; the winner of
that game plays Crestview on
Saturday, Nov. 30.
The Van Wert-Lincolnview
loser and Wayne Trace will
play later in the season on a

Also, the Paulding-Wayne
Trace boys basketball game
has been postponed from
Dec. 7 to Jan. 14 with a 6
p.m. start time.
Cats size dominate Lady Archers 48-21
By TREY SMITH
DHI Correspondent
DELPHOS The Lady
Cats from Delphos Jefferson
gained their first win of this
2013-14 girls basketball sea-
son with a 48-21 win over the
Antwerp Archers Saturday
night at Jefferson High
School.
Jefferson (1-1) did most of
its damage from inside the arc
and from the foul line: con-
necting on 14-of-39 shots (2-
of-14 from three) for 35.9
percent from the floor and 18-
of-29 from the line for 62.1
percent. Junior Brooke Culp
lead the Lady Cats with 15
points and knocked in a per-
fect 8-of-8 from the charity
strike.
Jeffersons size proved a
huge advantage for them as
they outrebounded the
Archers. Shelby Koenig
guarded the rim, collecting
three blocked shots.
The young Archers had a
difficult time finding the bas-
ket against the size of the
Lady Cats. They connected
on a mere five field goals (0
treys). Payton Short led the
scoring with eight points and
Kaiya Jemison added seven.
Brooke Culp came out of
the gates hot for the Cats as
she scored their first nine
points of the game and nine of
their 11 total in the first quar-
ter. She connected on three
shots, one of which was a 3-
ball from the corner. Koenig
added the final two of the
quarter to give the Cats an
11-2 lead.
The diverse scoring for Jef-
ferson began in the second
quarter as they had five play-
ers make their mark on the
scoreboard. Senior Katie Go-
ergens added seven points,
Rileigh Stockwell netted two,
Lindsey Deuel connected on
a field goal and Gabby Pim-
pas adding a free throw, along
with four more points scored
by Culp. The Archers scored
only one basket in the second
but added seven foul shots.
The Lady Cats lead was 27-
11 at halftime.
The trend of the first half
continued into the third stanza
as Delphos extended its lead
to 40-15. Senior post Jasmine
McDougall joined in the ac-
tion with four points in the
quarter and a plethora of
steals. Again, Antwerp was
unable to get anything going
from the field and scored only
from the free-throw line.
Jefferson added to its lead
in the fourth as their defense,
yet again, held the Archers to
only three field goals. Pimpas,
Culp, Goergens and Heather
Pohlman put the finishing
touches on their lead. With lit-
tle time left, the Lady Cats
entered their reserves to finish
out the game. Neither side
scored the rest of the way and
the final score became 48-21.

ers participating. Ive heard all
the reasons why numbers are
low but the bottom line is be-
cause of the number of stu-
dents to draw from. Its
obvious when you have fewer
students in your school you
will have few athletes playing
sports.
The accompanying chart is
a comparison of the eight
Green Meadows Conference
schools for football. The en-
rollment figure used is from
the Ohio High School Athletic
website and includes the boys
attendance for 2013. The other
figures are based on the
schools official roster.
When looking at the eight
team league it appears you can
group them into three groups.
Antwerp, Holgate, and Edger-
ton in one group with each
having basically identical
boys enrollment with
Antwerp and Holgate having
close to the same percentage
of its male enrollment playing
football. Edgerton has the
highest percentage of their en-
rollment playing football at 52
percent however, 40 percent
of the roster is made up of
freshmen.
Much can be made of statis-
tics but again it appears
Antwerp falls exactly where
you would expect in compari-
son to the other seven GMC
schools.
Retired teachers to host coffee
PAULDING The Paulding County Retired Teachers Associa-
tion will host a Holiday Coffee from 9-11 a.m. Monday, Dec. 2.

program. The proposed fees are listed below.
We will be holding a public hearing to discuss the proposed fee
increases. This meeting will be held on December 3, 2013 at
9:00 am at the Paulding County Health Department, 800 E.
