FORT WAYNE Fifteen weeks of hard work
have paid off for the newest member of the
Paulding County Sheriffs work force, K-9 unit
Jano. His first shift is scheduled to begin Jan.
14.
Jano and his handler, Deputy Gary Deitrick,
graduated along with four other teams during a
30-minute ceremony Friday, Jan. 3 in the Allen
County (Ind.) Courthouse rotunda in Fort
Wayne.
Certification for Ohio was completed follow-
ing several hours of appraisal at the Van Wert
County Fairgrounds on Jan. 4. This was over-
seen by an Ohio Police Officer Training
Academy evaluator from Dayton.
The pair received three certificates at Fridays
graduation, signifying their completion of the
police service dog team program through the
Allen County Sheriffs office.
One indicates successful completion of 525
hours of training in the basic K-9 academy. The
second and third provide accreditation as a po-
lice service dog team and as a narcotic detection
dog team. These documents were through the
International Police Work Dog Association,
signed by Allen County Sheriff Kenneth Fries
and certifying master trainer Tyler Harris, in-
structor.
Deputy Deitrick said testing was conducted
during the last weeks of December. They were
assessed in the areas of obedience, area search,
article search, aggression control and building
search.
As a narcotics dog, Jano is trained to detect
the presence of marijuana, hashish, cocaine,
heroin, methamphetamine, crack cocaine and
ecstasy.
Paulding County Sheriff Jason Landers said
Deputy Deitrick and Jano will be taking a well-
deserved vacation until next week.
He indicated the pairs training had been ex-
tensive, 15 weeks of daily training in and
around the Fort Wayne area. Nearly 9,000 miles
was put on the K-9 unit vehicle to accomplish

occurred in late January of
that year.
Paulding County Sheriff
Jason Landers said on
Monday morning that the
county was placed on a Level

He noted evaluation of that

The worst snowstorm since
the Blizzard of 78 roared full
force into Paulding County on
Sunday, closing most roads,
businesses and county offices
in its wake.
Heavy snow blanketed the
area, combined with strong
winds and record-setting sub-
zero temperatures. A winter
weather warning was in effect
from 1 a.m. Sunday through 4
p.m. Monday; a wind chill
warning was set to expire at 8
p.m. Tuesday.
While its hard to tell be-
cause of the drifting, most
areas received at least a foot of
snow, with National Weather
Service officials declaring that
between 10 and 16 inches of
snow fell over all of northwest
Ohio, northern Indiana and
southern Michigan.
At the Paulding Water
Plant, workers recorded 9
inches of snow fell from 7:30
a.m. Sunday through 7:30
a.m. Monday.

plows were out Monday, but
they werent making much

They were mainly working
on primary roads. There were
a lot of really bad roads out
there.
Landers said that by
Sunday evening, all roads in
the county were drifted shut
one place or another. He noted
that he called his guys off the
road for their own safety and
so that they could be available
to help make special health or
safety runs, if necessary.
We have numbers where
we can call county and town-
ship crews to help us get to
certain destinations in case of
emergencies, commented
Landers. They will plow us
where we need to go. In emer-
gency situations, they can
plow the EMS right to the
front door.
Landers said that a Level 3
emergency means that the all
roads are closed to non-essen-
tial travel and open to only
emergency personnel. He said
that in addition to health

Heavy snow fell Sunday, blanketing the area in about a foot
of snow, which later combined with strong winds and plum-

Paulding County remained under a Level 3 snow emergency from Sunday evening and was
still in effect as the Progress went to press at noon Tuesday. Drifting and blowing snow reduced
visibility and made travel extremely hazardous. Snow plows couldnt keep up; the few that were
out were attempting to keep the main roads passable for emergency vehicles. Reader Jessica
Osborn submitted this photo of a snow plow off the road on Ohio 637.

residents, the ominous bliz-
zard-like weather events of the
past few days are all-too-fa-
miliar when they reflect on
snowstorms of the late 1970s,
especially the infamous
Blizzard of 78. Others re-
member a snowy blast that
closed many county business-
es in 1997.

maintenance had to either stay
at the hospital, if they didnt
live in town, or had to live in
town to get there.
Winter is usually not one
of my favorite seasons, but
Sunday night I couldnt help
feeling overwhelmed by the
amazing beauty the Lord was
sprinkling down on us, com-
mented Antwerps Casey
Hathaway. We woke up this
morning to all of our shoveling
work completely covered
blown over.
We have two dogs and on
Monday we had go outside
three times to re-open their
area, continued Hathaway. It
was so cold you could hear the
trees creaking because they
were frozen. Thankfully, we
live in town and arent seeing
the full fury of this. I consider
the cold to be the worst of all
of this.
For one area resident,
Mondays blizzard was an un-
forgettable way of celebrating
a special occasion in her life
her birthday.
Jan Comers, who works in
the election office in down-
town Paulding, didnt have to
go to work, but she spent
much of the day answering
birthday wishes she received
on Facebook, through phone
calls and texts.
I am trying to answer each
of them, because each one of
them is from a special person
that has touched my life, said
Comers. I like snow, so I am
enjoying it. I went three hous-
es down to my nieces to
spend some time with my
youngest great-nephew. He is
17 months old and everything
is new to him.
Watching him look out the
window at the snow became a
special memory for me. This
will be a birthday that is hard
to forget, added Comers.
Pauldings Kim Sutton
seemingly summed up the
spirit shared by many county
residents when she said, I am
so grateful that we live in the
day and age that we can be
alerted to the coming weather.
We had plenty of time to pre-
pare and we did. We stocked
up on food, bought kerosene
and propane for our heaters in
case the power goes out and
also gas for the generator.
I am so thankful for those
men and women who are out
there working to keep us safe
and warm in our homes.
Mother Nature has a way of
humbling us and making us
acutely aware of how vulnera-
ble we really are, added
Sutton.
Suspect in Grover
Hill robbery
appears in court
PAULDING James R.
Reynolds, 34, of Fort
Jennings, was arraigned in
Paulding County Common
Pleas Court recently for ag-
gravated robbery (F2) after
being arrested on an October
warrant on indictment.
Reynolds is charged in con-
nection with the Oct. 4 rob-
bery at Rosss Gas Station in
Grover Hill.
Court dates were sched-
uled for a Jan. 27 pretrial
conference and a Feb. 19 jury
trial.
Reynolds is being held on
$100,000 bond with no 10
percent privilege.
people know when you are
leaving and when you arrive
there.
As always, Shaffer said,
dont hesitate to call 911 in the
case of emergency.
Shaffer said that sometime
ago, he and ODOT officials in
Lima had worked out a deal
whereby ODOT emergency
equipment will come off of
state roads on to county roads
to assist when an emergency
is involved.
If we call their supervisor,
he will authorize them to
come off of state roads on to
county roads and assist our
EMS in the case of an emer-
gency, said Shaffer.
The storm started building
into the county on Sunday
morning. By noon, heavier
snow had moved in, which
continued to drop one to two
inches an hour most of the af-
ternoon. Things worsened
quickly near evening when a
powerful cold front entered
the county with high winds,
which immediately caused
near-blizzard drifting.
gency call.
He noted that nearly all
businesses in Paulding and
surrounding area appeared to
be closed on Monday. Also,
all county schools and county-
level government offices con-
tinued to be closed through
Tuesday.
Paulding Mayor Greg
White said he believes that at
least 12 inches of snow fell on
the village. White said that,
like the county, Paulding
Village was also operating
under a Level 3 alert, meaning
that no one but emergency
traffic should be on the streets.
The guys are out working
hard plowing the streets,
White said on Monday. Their
first priority is going to make
sure that emergency vehicles
can get through.
Right now they are piling
snow up on corners. Once the
crisis has passed, we will
work with Kauser
(Excavating) to get the snow
removed, White said.
Our first emphasis is that
village residents are as safe as
they can be, added White.
Shaffer, EMA director,
praised county residents for
using a lot of good common
sense. He noted that during a
period on Monday, he only
passed two cars on the road.
Its extremely quiet every-
where, said Shaffer on
Monday. Its extremely quiet
at the hospital. People are
wisely not taking any chances.
I was in Fort Wayne on
Friday night; it was crazy up
there. Meijers was out of
hamburger. One of our local
stores was out of bread and
milk on Sunday, said Shaffer.
Shaffer recalled a series of
storms in the late 1970s be-
sides the Great Blizzard. He
referred to one storm when he
was running a shelter in
Antwerp in 1977. On that oc-
casion, he said, an entire
Greyhound Bus of travelers
were stranded at the shelter.
People need to continue to
use common sense, said
Shaffer. If you have to get
out, take all of your emer-
gency supplies with you. Let

Van Wert County Hospital
would also like to acknowl-
edge the generous individuals
and businesses who con-
tributed to the 2014 Van Wert
County Hospital New Years
Baby.
VAN WERT, OHIO For
the Obstetric Department at
Van Wert County Hospital, the
arrival of the first baby born of
the new year is always an ex-
citing time. the new year is a
symbol of renewal and what
could be better than welcom-
ing a new baby. We look for-
ward to sharing this special
moment with our families and
babies each year, said Sammi
Joseph, director of
medical/surgical services, pe-
diatrics and obstetrics.
To their amazement, Audrey
Chavez and Isaac Chavez-
Ibarra gave birth to the Van
Wert County Hospitals first
baby of 2014. They welcomed
their son, Cruz Lee Chavez,
into the world at 1:18 a.m.
Wednesday, Jan. 1. Dr. Carrie
Huber delivered the baby, who
weighed 8 pounds, 2 ounces
and measured 20 inches long.
Baby Cruz was welcomed
home by a brother, Zaden, and
a sister, Brisa.
Maternal grandparents are
Deb and Stan Pratt from Scott.
Maternal great-grandmother is
Jean Zartman of Payne.
For having the first baby of
the year, the couple received a
gift basket valued at over
$1,300 worth of gifts from
area businesses.

the task.
Thats a huge commitment
from his normal schedule,
said Landers. I appreciate
that.
Were excited to get them
in action and get Jano work-
ing. Weve probably had 10
traffic stops in the past few
weeks that we would have
brought him in on. To have
that resource will be real nice,
continued the sheriff.
Its a lot to put on his shoul-
ders, but he accepts the fact
that he is the person to prove to
me and the county that this is a
beneficial resource, said
Landers of Deitrick. Ive got-
ten nothing but good feedback
from the community about this
program. With Gary setting
the bar for us, I can seriously
see us adding a second K-9
down the road.
Community support has
been considerable, according
to Sheriff Landers. He men-
tioned Baker and Shindler pro-
vided materials and fees to
pour the kennel while Taylor
Brothers provided equipment
to accomplish the task of com-
pleting the concrete work.
In the area of food and
health care, the IAMS plant in
Leipsic is donating all Janos
food. Dr. Missy Bowman and
her staff at Paulding Animal
Clinic are committed to Janos
continued healthcare needs.
The sheriff is also apprecia-
tive of the monetary donations
the department has received
from almost 30 individuals,
families, businesses and or-
ganizations, including mem-
bers of his own staff.

Council adopted an ordinance rais-
ing income tax rates when it met in
special session on Dec. 30.
Council heard the third and final
reading of Ordinance #1468-13
amending Ordinance #1239-00 (in-
come tax ordinance), suspended the
rules, declared an emergency and
unanimously passed the measure.
The new ordinance will increase the
village income tax from .5 percent to

follows; emergency services, 35 per-
cent; debt reduction/capital improve-
ments, 25 percent; parks and recre-
ation, 10 percent; and the remaining
30 percent shall remain in the

was $13,901,834 while the amount

1997 event that closed the
courthouse. But this is extraor-
dinary, Peters admits.
Even the dog doesnt want
to go outside, said Peters. I
am just hoping that people
dont lose their power, that
they stay safe and warm and
that outside animals are
brought in and taken care of.
My son and I made two
snowmen yesterday (Sunday)
before it got too cold, Peters
said. We also had a snowball
fight and while Dad was blow-
ing the drive, threw snowballs
at him. We all had a blast. Best
of all, I was glad to spend an
entire day with the entire fam-
ily this bitter and cold
Monday.
Many of the areas youths
noted that they had never seen
such a large amount of snow at
one time.
I think its really cool. I
have never seen this much
snow before, said Wayne
Trace student Alicia Williams.
I want to thank the many peo-
ple who are working so hard to
make sure that everyone is
safe. Im hoping to play more
in the snow with my family
and friends. I wish it would
snow more.
Stacy Thomas, who along
with her husband, Ben, and
children live in a country
home southwest of Payne,
waxed poetically as she de-
scribed the fields around their
home as looking like a sea of
snow waves over the country-
side.
Drifts are probably three to
four feet high in front of the
house, said Thomas. We
have loved our time at home.
Im a homebody anyway. Ben
and I watched a movie and
played board games with the
kids.
Its nice to be stuck inside
and having a special family
time that the hustle and bustle
of life sometimes takes away
from us. We are glad to be
warm, but we are praying for
those who have to be outside
braving the elements, added
Thomas.
During the first day of the
storm it was still warm and I
was able to send my kids out
to build forts and have snow-
ball fights, commented
Paynes Amber Schuerman.
We love our neighbors,
Tammy, Meghan and Kirsten,
so we had them all over for
supper. We enjoyed hanging
out and listening to the wind
and snow blowing. Most of
all, we enjoyed being togeth-
er.
Other residents that stayed
in until late Monday were
shocked when they stepped
outside the door and were
blasted with the brutally cold
air. Darnell Goings said that he
had layered with clothes but he
had no idea what was coming
when he stepped into the cold
air.
I was shocked; I couldnt
believe it ... it was so cold,
said Goings. I thought that I
was dressed warm enough
until I opened the door.
A majority of county resi-
dents stayed in, tried to keep
warm and tried to keep their
pipes from freezing. Many,
like Broughtons Beth Offerle,
spent much of the day curling
up to a good book or crochet-
ing.
It is very windy, the snow
is blowing around something
terrible. I cant see very far; it
looks pretty much like a white-
out looking north, said
Offerle on Monday.
Michelle Waggoner, who
lives north of Payne, would
have normally spent her
Monday getting up early and
driving to the office where she
is an administrator at
Hicksville Community
Hospital. However, this day
she didnt attempt to get out of
her driveway; that was con-
firmed to be a good decision
when a snowplow was stuck
in the drifts in her driveway
and around the house.
Like Paulding County
Hospital and other area health-
care agencies, Waggoner said
that Hicksville had special
plans it implemented in such
treacherous circumstances.
Our administrative offices,
business office, medical
records, fitness center, rehab
department and physician of-
fices have closed today and
will be closed tomorrow, said
Wagonner on Monday. Our
nurses, lab staff, radiology,
respiratory, dietary, house-
Girl Scout cookie sales begin Jan. 10

The Amish Cook
By: Lovina Eicher
had to wait to frost them until
they were cooled off enough.
After the frosting was set
enough, I put them in Ziploc
bags so they would be ready
for the children to take this
morning. Lovina and Kevin
will take their teachers cin-
namon rolls to them tonight.
Tonight is the elementary
Christmas program at the
school. We have only two
children in it now. So hard to
believe that only Lovina
(third grade) and Kevin (sec-
ond grade) are in elementary
school.
At first, all the older ones
were in the program while all
the younger ones sat with us.
Now the older ones are back
with us in the audience while
the younger ones are in the
program.
On Sunday, Dec. 22, my
husband Joe will celebrate his
45th birthday. Another re-
minder that we arent getting
any younger.
We had some excited chil-
dren this past week when we
were dumped with some
snow. Not sure how many
As I write this, Christmas is
six days away. I do not need
to look at the calendar to
know, as the children remind
me every morning. Jesus is
the reason for the season. Let
us rejoice on the day Christ
was born. May each of your
holiday season be filled with
all the joy and peace on earth.
My husband will have off
work after today until Jan. 2.
The school will give the chil-
dren a two-week Christmas
vacation. Daughter Elizabeth
isnt sure if she will get one
or two weeks off yet. Any-
ways, it looks like the next
two weeks will be lively here
at the Eichers.
Today is laundry day again.
I also have dough rising for
bread and cinnamon rolls. I
made two batches of cinna-
mon rolls yesterday. The chil-
dren want to give them to
their teachers for Christmas.
Daughter Susan made all the
frosting for me for the rolls.
She is always the one I get to
do that for me.
The last rolls came out of
the oven around 8-9 p.m. So
inches we had total but it was
a beautiful sight to behold.
The children have spent all
their free time sledding down
the hill in the hayfield.
Last night Kevin came in
with some very cold toes. I
think he stayed outside a little
too long without coming in-
side to warm up. Our border
collie is always by Kevins
side and races him and the
sled down the hill.
During the holidays, may
there be peace on earth and
goodwill to all.
Try this party mix over the
holidays!

NEW
Settlement of the Maumee
Valley to be program topic
LIBERTY CENTER The
Maumee Valley Heritage Cor-
ridor announces that it will
present a free public history
program, Coming to America:
The Immigration Story of the
Maumee Valley, at 7 p.m.
Monday, Jan. 13 at the Path-
stone Migrant Education Center
in Liberty Center.
Part of the Layers of History
program series, this special
presentation focuses on the
tremendous impact made on our
region by its people, from the
earliest of times to today.
Presented by MVHC execu-
tive director Angie Quinn, this
family-friendly program will in-
clude stories of the earliest set-
tlers of the valley and also an
update on todays newest resi-
dents.
Pathstone Migrant Education
Center is located at 2453
County Road V, Liberty Center.
Contact Quinn at 260-450-2057
for more information.
Stories will include those of
such people like early northwest
Ohio settler Liwwt Bke, who
wrote of her experiences as an
early settler during the 1830s
and 1840s: Here in the forest,
each man, woman and child
must know and always, in every
place, every day be aware of the
circumstances concerning health
of both body and mind. For peo-
ple and animals the mode of liv-
ing is not as in Europe; trivial
habits bring us perilmany
travelers from Europeare
weak from their journey, have
colds, sore throats, scabs on their
bodies, and are exhausted and
filthy But all of us here were
also passerby a little while back,
so we must be sympathetic.
To get to Pathstone from
Paulding County, take US 24
East to exit 47, and go north on
109 through Liberty Center.
Continue north to County Road
V, and turn right. Go east on
County Road V. Path Stone is
located on the south side of the
road, between County Roads 2
and 3.
Would you like to work with
funeral directors who understand
how valuable it is for you and your
family to have a truly meaningful
funeral experience?

loved ones memory in a personal
way, give us a call.

In My Opinion
Quality of life is
an assignment
By Kim K. Sutton
Quality of Life is a term that can sometimes be confused
with the concept of Standard of Living. Quality of life in-
dicators include not only wealth, employment, clean air and
clear water, but also human traits, such as a small-town at-
mosphere, a strong sense of community, and family orienta-
tion. The word neighborly fits nicely.
Talk about economic development, and the future usually
includes a discussion of quality of life issues especially
when the focus is on what the county will or wont do to at-
tract new business. No one I
know suggests that chasing
smokestacks is essential to
economic development.
When people talk about the
countys future, what you
hear is what the majority of
residents of small communi-
ties across the nation say
Wed like to keep it about the same, maybe a little larger,
more economic diversity. (Taken from a survey done by the
Heartland Center of Leadership Development.)
A successful rural community needs to know its assets and
know how to emphasize its uniqueness. Our people are con-
servative and independent, products of a frontier heritage, no
doubt. Our county offers quality employees, low crime rate,
lower overhead, great schools, excellent health care facilities,
recreational opportunities, and life, in general, is slower-
paced where family and community come first. Comfort-
able living may be the appropriate slogan.
Successful rural communities are often showplaces of
pride and attention, with neatly trimmed yards, public gar-
dens and well kept parks. Pride also shows up in other ways,
especially in community festivals and events that give resi-
dents the chance to celebrate their community, its history and
heritage. These factors are more important than size or loca-
tion, which we can do nothing about. These successful towns
are surviving because they know the future of the community
is in the hands of the people who live there and they market
it.
Making a hometown a good place to live for a long time to
come is a pro-active assignment.

Free early childhood screening
A free developmental
screening for children from
birth to age 5 will be held Fri-
day, Jan. 17 at two locations.
The event will be held from
8:30-11 a.m. at Paulding Ele-
mentary, and 12:30-3 p.m. at
Oakwood Elementary.
In case school is delayed or
canceled, the screening will
be held Jan. 24.
The early childhood years
from birth to the start of
kindergarten are an important
time of rapid learning and
growth. Early screening is a
quick and simple way to iden-
tify, at an early stage, possible
learning or health concerns so
that children can get needed
help before starting school.
This screening will be used
for checking age-appropriate
development in the areas of
communication, motor, cog-
nitive, social and adaptive be-
haviors. The event is
coordinated by Help Me
Grow, Departments of Educa-
tion, Paulding County Hospi-
tal, Ohio Department of
Health, NOCAC, Paulding
County EI/DD, Family and
Children First Council,
Antwerp Local Schools,
Paulding Exempted Village
Schools and Wayne Trace
Local Schools.
Appointments are pre-
ferred, but walk-ins will be
accepted. Call 419-399-4620
or 1-877-473-8166 Ext. 41
for registration information.
The next developmental
screening will be Feb. 7 at
Antwerp Methodist Church.
Workshop hosts BAH

DONT MESS WITH TEXAS
(CHILI)
Exactly what is chili?
The answer to that question
is, It depends on where you
live. I have made and eaten
what I call chili all my life
and recently found out that
Texas Chili is very different
from what they call Yankee
Chili.
A former Paulding County
resident, Mona Larson Gloor
Jimerson, who has resided in
Texas for the past 30 years, is
home visiting her parents,
John and Ola Larson of
Antwerp.
Mona is a wonderful cook
who has taken her passion for
food and runs her own cater-
ing business called Simply
Southern.
When Mona is home here
in Ohio, she loves to cook for
her parents. On Thursday
night, Mona, from her par-
ents house, posted the fol-
lowing on her Facebook page,
Forgive me Father for I have
sinned. I just put beans in
chili! Please forgive me.
When I read that, I won-
dered, So what. I always put
beans in chili. However,
Mona has many friends in
Texas who read her posts as
well as us Midwesterners who
also read them.
Of course, I am a Yankee
so I immediately commented,
I always put beans in chili.
What else would you put in
it?
This got a discussion going
that by the time the Ohioans
and the Texans got through
debating how to make chili,
there were 129 posts from
various chili makers.
Of course, all of us Yan-
kees put beans in our chili,
plus we use hamburger and
tomatoes. Some of us even
put macaroni in it.
To the Texans, this was just
sacrilegious. Comments from
fellow Texans were flowing
back and forth.
Retired Judge Alvin Khoury
spoke of Monas repentance
saying, Nope Mona. That is
one sin (putting beans in chili)
that cannot be forgiven.
Attorney and radio an-
nouncer Bob Cole got in on
the conversation with this
comment, Oh no! Yankee
chili. You dont put beans in
Texas chili. Meat, meat, meat.
Venison is the best! Beans in
chili would be like putting
lemons in spaghetti sauce. It
just isnt done.
My questions included, If
chili has no beans, do you eat
it on a bun? Isnt it like sloppy
Joe? How can anyone just
cook meat and spices and call
it chili?
Ryan Stanford, a big city of-
ficial from Texas, added this to
the mix, telling poor Mona,
You may be deported to
Oklahoma for putting beans in
chili.
Stanford then asked, Did
you explain to everyone that
A Penny For
Your Thoughts....
By: Nancy Whitaker
when you put in beans, it no
longer is chili? We have an obli-
gation to bring civilization to the
heathens! (Bless their hearts.)
Kelly Pope Woods shared her
knowledge of chili by adding,
Texas chili is eaten like soup, in
a bowl, but its thick and rich and
topped with Fritos, cheese,
onion, and if youre from the
city, mustard.
It seems as if Texans dont eat
Wendys chili, either. Ryan Stan-
ford replied, No, Nancy, be-
cause they put beans in it and
erroneously call it chili.
Bill OMara, then said, I was
on a chili cookoff team in col-
lege. The rules are to just take
meat, onions and garlic and slow
cook for a long time. Jalapeno or
garlic can be added later.
Bob Cole said that he some-
times uses shredded meat instead
of ground meat and that venison
or elk venison is the absolute
best to use.
How do you make chili?
Have you ever eaten the Texas
style chili? Let me know and Ill
give you a Penny For Your
Thoughts.

In The
Garden
A little story about clematis
and to not worry about it. They
were right. Absolutely nothing
came of it, but poor Mama
Robin suffered a great loss that
day.
We still have two of those
original three clematis vines,
even though the railing was re-
placed by a wall when we
added on a family room in
1983. Clematis is pretty tough
and though those vines dont
see one lick of direct sun any-
more, they still manage to put
on a pretty good show of
blooms every June.
As Ive worked my way
through writing the clematis de-
scriptions, Ive learned about
some unusual and outstanding
varieties. There are some, such
as Filigree and Petit Faucon,
that only grow a foot or two in
height and have more of a
mounding habit.
Passion flowers are not gen-
erally hardy to our zone, but
Florida Sieboldii has white
petals with brilliant purple sta-
mens in the center, which in-
spired its common name of
Passion Flower Clematis.
Some, like Huldine, have at-
tractive backsides and should be
grown on arbors, where both
front and back can be appreci-
ated. Nelly Moser does better
in shade than it does in full sun,
where the flowers will fade. And
Bijou makes a great houseplant
when it has bright indirect light.
This is where the unintended
consequences of writing plant
descriptions comes in. Guess
whose plant wish list just got a
little longer.

clematis vines wove in and out
among themselves and com-
pletely covered that north side
of the railing. The thick tapestry
of vines provided just the right
spot for a robin to build a nest.
While we were working in
the yard one day during that
summer of 82, Kara was with
us, doing whatever kind of
work a 2-year-old does. The
next thing we knew, she had
yellowish-orange goo dribbling
down her chin. It looked amaz-
ingly like raw egg yolk.
Further investigation found
that where there once had been
four tiny blue eggs, there was
now just one and our darling
daughter had consumed the
other three. That robins nest
was located at just the right
height for a 2-year-olds reach.
All kinds of thoughts go
through a mothers mind when
things like this happen. First of
all, there is the ick factor when
thinking about eating raw eggs
(shells and all), but then there is
the matter of those germs. And
I really didnt want to think
about that.
We got her cleaned up and I
called the doctors office. Im
fairly certain I heard a few
snickers on the other end of the
telephone line, but they assured
me that she would be just fine
As a freelance writer, I often
have assignments and take on
writing jobs that require me to
do a fair amount of research.
Not only do I want to present
accurate information, I also
know that Im going to be learn-
ing something new and I love
that. But sometimes the re-
search has unintended conse-
quences.
Im currently working on ed-
iting and writing some plant de-
scriptions for an independent
garden center in Michigan. Its
a pretty straightforward task,
with each description needing to
contain the same basic informa-
tion: height, flower size, season
of bloom, hardiness, growth
habit, etc.
As I write these, I try to think
like a gardener and ask myself
what I would want and need to
know if I were searching for a
plant to grow in my own gar-
den. The current plant du jour is
Clematis. Ive got 70 varieties
to research and describe.
Clematis is a plant that Im
very familiar with, in fact, is one
of the oldest here at Our Little
Acre. We moved here in 1977
and though I dont remember
exactly when I planted what Im
pretty sure is Clematis Jack-
manii, it was well-established
by the time our older daughter
Kara was 2 years old in 1982.
We originally had three vines,
all planted along a wrought-iron
railing by our patio behind the
house. The vines covered one
side of the railing that went
around a stairwell leading to our
basement. During the month of
June, those vines were lush and
blooming with hundreds of
deep purple flowers. They were
stunning.
With the railing having a
height of about three feet and a
length of about 12, the three
Clematis Jackmanii is a very common variety, easily found here and just as easy to grow.
Petal count can vary from 4-6 and it blooms best in full sun to part shade.

Speice wipes glass for rebounding record
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
SHERWOOD Lauren Speice set
a new Wayne Trace game record with
20 rebounds to lead the Wayne Trace
Lady Raiders to a 62-45 win over
Fairview in the Green Meadows Con-
ference opener for both schools Fri-
day night.
Speice also scored a game-high 22
points for the Raiders, who move to
7-2 overall on the season. The senior
forward picked up seven boards in the
first quarter and totaled a dozen in the
first half.
After grabbing five more in the
third quarter, Speice broke the record
at the 4:05 mark of the final stanza
with her ninth defensive rebound of
the evening.
Lauren played very well tonight,
noted Raider head coach Bethany
Hughes. She was very aggressive
and really went to the boards hard.
Wayne Trace outrebounded the
host Lady Apaches, 52-30, on the
night, getting a dozen boards by fel-
low senior Sylvia Young as well.
We rebounded well as a team,
continued the Raider mentor. I
thought we got better as the game
went.
After a slow start, the red, white
and blue put together an 11-0 run late
in the first quarter to take control of
the contest.
Trailing 10-4, a Speice basket ig-
nited the run, which also included
baskets from Erin Mohr and Young
before ending with a Shayna Temple
bucket.
Following two free throws by
Fairviews Ali Hug, Wayne Traces
Brooke Wilcox scored just before the
end of the opening quarter to put the
Raiders on top, 17-10, after eight
minutes of action.
The Lady Apaches made a quick run
to start the second stanza, pulling within
21-18 on a Kayla Bauer layup.
However, Wayne Trace answered
with buckets from Mohr, Speice, Young
and Wilcox in pushing the margin back
to 29-22. The Raiders went on to post a
34-27 advantage at the intermission.
Every time they made a run, we
found a way to answer, Hughes added.
Fairview got as close as 40-35 in the
third quarter after a Sara Carder basket,
but would get no closer.
Wayne Trace responded with a three-
point play and basket from Speice
along with two Mohr buckets in taking
a 51-40 lead into the final period.
The Raiders ended any doubt in the
fourth, scoring seven straight points
midway through the quarter to seal the
victory.
Mohr added 14 points for the red,
white and blue while Temple chipped
in seven markers. Temple also had
seven boards while dishing out four as-
sists. Madi Poling and Brenda Feasby
picked up three assists each for Wayne
Trace.
I thought we got quality minutes
from everybody, said Hughes. Its al-
ways good to start the league portion of
the schedule with a win.
Hug topped the Apaches with 11
markers and Erin Marshall chipped in
nine. Carder topped Fairview with
seven rebounds and three assists with
Hug recording three steals.
Fairview drops to 3-7 on the sea-
son.
Wayne Traces junior varsity
moved to 7-1 on the year with a 46-
32 victory over the Apaches.
Hollie Wannemacher paced the
Raiders with 10 points and Courtney
Mead chipped in eight. Brianna Sinn
and Danae Myers added six markers
a piece.
Myers also grabbed 11 rebounds
for the red, white and blue. Wan-
nemacher picked up six steals with
Brianna Sinn and Leah Sinn record-
ing five steals each.
Chyanne Retcher picked up 13
points and eight boards to lead the
Apaches.
The Lady Raiders will make the
long trip to Holgate on Friday in a
key Green Meadows Conference bat-
tle. Both teams enter the contest with
1-0 records in league play.
Holgate will be a challenge for
us, concluded Hughes. They are a
very good basketball team and we
have to go over there ready to play.

Lady Aces deal Archers their eighth setback
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
ANTWERP The
Hicksville Lady Aces re-
turned the favor to the Lady
Archers last Thursday when
the Aces turned backed
Antwerp 37-31 on the
Archers home court. Back on
Dec. 21, Antwerp slipped past
Hicksville, 45-40, in the con-
solation round of the Route
49 Classic held at Hicksville.
Hicksvilles freshman
Chelsey Taylor scored the
Aces first basket followed by
a 3-pointer by teammate Sam
Sell to put the Aces in front,
5-0, a lead they would never
give away.
Kaiya Jemison, the lone
Antwerp senior, managed to
bring the Archers even at six
apiece with 2:49 remaining in
the opening frame.
Hicksville used a 10-0 run
to increase their advantage to
16-6 before Audrie Longard-
ner dialed in from 3-point
land with 2:30 remaining in
the second quarter. The Lady
Aces outscored the Archers 4-
2 to close out the first half,
holding a 20-11 lead.
Its not an excuse, but
some of the kids have the
sniffles and thats the way we
played tonight. We didnt
come out and play aggres-
sively at all, and it cost us a
game we should have won,
said head coach Kevin Taylor.
The third period saw the
Archers pick it up offensively
with 13 points while holding
Hicksville to just six.
The blue and white chipped
away at the Aces margin and
trailed by just one, 24-23, on
back-to-back buckets.
Holding a slim two-point
lead, 26-24, heading into the
final eight minutes of play,
the Aces scored the first four
points to push their margin to
30-24, and while Antwerp got
a free throw from Jemison,
the Aces added four points on
a basket by Avery Demland
and two free throws by
Rachel Schroeder to pull
away by nine, 34-25.
Antwerp freshman Peyton
Short connected from behind
the arc followed by a 2-point
bucket from Jemison to bring
the Archers to within four 34-
30 with 33.8 seconds remain-
ing. Antwerp would get no
closer with the remaining
scoring coming from the foul
line.
Our lack of aggressive-
ness and 25 turnovers isnt
going to get the job done,
said Taylor.
Leading scorer for the
Lady Archers was Jemison
with 11. Also scoring for
Antwerp were Braaten
(eight), Longardner (five),
Short (five) and Annie Miesle
(two).
Hicksville had two girls in
double digits with Sam Sell
leading the way with 11 and
teammate Rachel Schroeder
adding 10 for the 3-8 Aces.
The 1-8 Lady Archers will
be at Tinora on Friday when
they take on the 3-6 Lady
Rams with the junior varsity
tipping off at 6 p.m.
Panthers launch new year with double wins
By JIM LANGHAM
Sportswriter
Paulding boys head coach
Shawn Brewer is more than
pleased with his teams per-
formance this past weekend.
The Panthers launched 2014
with a pair of victories, winning
at Liberty Center, 49-44, on Fri-
day night, and then traveling to
Parkway for a 63-43 pasting of
the home team on Saturday
night.
Coming back after the
Christmas holidays is always
tough, said Brewer. Were ex-
cited to keep things going.
The Panthers, who have won
four games in a row, improved
their mark to 7-2 following Sat-
urdays Parkway win.
The thing that pleased
Brewer at Liberty Center was
the fact that the Panthers con-
quered without the services of
Clinton Vance, who was out
with the flu.
Even though our starting
point guard was out, other guys
stepped up and handled the ball
lot; they helped us into our
sets, Brewer said.
I felt that we had one of our
better defensive efforts of the
season, added Brewer.
Paulding jumped out to a 16-
10 advantage at the end of the
first quarter and then held on to
a 23-18 halftime advantage.
Thanks to a tenacious defensive
effort, Paulding held on to a 37-
31 advantage at the end of three
quarters.
Paulding fired at 55 percent
shooting to continue its steady
offensive effort. Kyle Kauser
led the Paulding effort with 14
points while Treston Gonzales
and Gerod Harder each finished
the night with 11 points.
In junior varsity action,
Paulding won, 42-36.
Paulding at Parkway
On Saturday night, it was
Panther against Panther as the
Paulding Panthers invaded
Parkway. Once again, the ma-
roon and white took a balanced
attack of shooters to chalk up
another solid 55 percent shoot-
ing night to post the 20-point
win.
Guy Harder led the Paulding
attack in this one with 22 points
while Kyle Kauser posted 17
points. In addition, Treston
Gonzales slipped 12 points
through the iron to add to the
local cause.
Paulding opened up a 16-12
lead at the end of the first quar-
ter and then expanded it to 34-
20 at the halfway mark. The
Panthers continued to play
strong in the second half to cap-
ture the one-sided win.
They (Parkway) came out
with a little different defense
than we had faced, they came
out in a zone, said Brewer.
Our guys passed the ball well.
I thought it was one of our better
offensive efforts. Everybody got
a touch of the ball.
Paulding continues to main-
tain a busy schedule, traveling
to Bluffton for a conference
game on Friday, then traveling
to Fairview on Saturday. Tues-
day the Panthers play a makeup
game with Wayne Trace.
Concerning the Bluffton
game, Brewer said, Were
going down there and they are
going to have a very patient of-
fense. They like to spread it out
and then get a basket on you.
Were going to have to
make sure of our shots because
we are not going to get that
many good looks, continued
Brewer. Were going to have to
take advantage of every good
shot we get.

Raider defense savages Napoleon
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
HAVILAND Wayne
Trace moved to 4-1 on the
season as the Raiders over-
came a sluggish effort to post
a 45-34 win over Napoleon
Saturday night at the
Palace.
Napoleon falls to 4-5 with
the loss.
Napoleon controlled the
opening quarter, using Anson
Lankenaus second trey to
take a 6-3 advantage.
After T.J. Blackmore hit
one of two foul shots for
Wayne Trace, the Wildcats
picked up a 3-pointer and a
basket from Blake Dunbar to
take an 11-6 lead after eight
minutes of action.
We struggled offensively
tonight, noted Raider head
coach Jim Linder. I thought
we got better as the night
went on, but we really never
established anything early.
While Wayne Trace was
unable to establish itself of-
fensively in the first quarter,
the Wildcats had even more
trouble in the second quarter.
Napoleon missed all seven
field goal attempts in the
stanza and missed three free
throw shots as well, as the
Wildcats were blanked on the
scoreboard.
Meanwhile, the Raiders to-
taled 13 points in the period
in opening a 19-11 halftime
advantage. Devin Wenzlick
and Jake Arend each had a
pair of baskets for the red,
white and blue in the quarter.
Defensively, I thought our
effort was very good, Linder
continued. They had some
very good shooters and, for
the most part, we were able to
limit the amount of good
looks they got.
Napoleon answered with
the first six points of the third
quarter, trimming the deficit
to 19-17 following two
Lankenau foul shots.
A basket by Corbin Linder,
followed by an Ethan Linder
bucket and a Corbin Linder
trey, helped the Raiders
opened a 26-20 advantage
after three quarters.
Arend and Wenzlick started
the fourth quarter with con-
secutive baskets to push the
lead to 30-20 and, from that
point on, Wayne Trace settled
in.
Napoleon got as close as
30-24 after a Lankenau
bucket but the Wildcats
couldnt cut into the deficit
any further. The Raiders an-
swered with six straight
points, culminated by an
Ethan Linder 3-point play, to
grab a 36-24 lead and cruised
from there.
I thought we played hard
tonight, added the Raider
mentor. We were able to get
contributions from a lot of
different players and they are
giving us quality minutes.
That is something that we
have to continue to develop.
Corbin Linder led the Raider
efforts with 15 points while
Wenzlick and Ethan Linder
added seven markers. Arend
and Blackmore also chipped in
six points each. Ethan Linder
picked up seven rebounds to
top Wayne Trace and David
Sinn grabbed five caroms.
Ethan Linder also dished out
three assists.
Lankenau topped the Wild-
cats with a dozen markers
while Michael Gilliland
chipped in eight markers. Dun-
bar picked up six caroms for
Napoleon and Gilliland had
three assists.
The Wildcat junior varsity
handed Wayne Trace its first
loss as Napoleon recorded a
39-34 win.
Brett Lauf had 13 points for
the visitors and Logan Peckin-
paugh had nine markers. Derek
Gerken had four rebounds and
Lauf had four assists.
Cole Shepherd led the
Raiders with nine points fol-
lowed by Gabe Wobler with
seven and Luke Miller posted
six. Shepherd also recorded six
rebounds while Justin Speice
picked up five caroms. Miller
picked up five steals.
Wayne Trace falls to 4-1 on
the season.
The Raiders will open Green
Meadows Conference action
on Thursday as they host Hol-
gate. Wayne Trace welcomes
in Delphos Jefferson on Satur-
day for a non-league battle.

Archers shoot down Stryker
Derek Smalleys 22 points lead Antwerp
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
STRYKER The Antwerp
Archers placed four players
in double figures while scor-
ing the most points in a con-
test so far this season with 67
in beating Stryker on Satur-
day night, 67-60.
The Archers improve to 5-
3 with the Panthers falling to
2-6.
Leading the Archer attack
offensively was senior Derek
Smalley with 22 points, fol-
lowed by teammate Kaden
Brumett with 14 and 11 each
from Garrett Jones and Tren-
ton Copsey.
It was good to see Derek
hit his shots. I think hes back
and that will make us a much
better basketball team, said
head coach T.J. Hammer.
In a tight match-up
throughout the first half, the
Archers gained an early 7-6
lead on a Brumett 3-pointer
followed by a Colton Stout
bucket to keep Antwerp on
top, 9-8. Stryker built a four-
point margin and settled for a
16-14 advantage at the end on
one.
The second quarter found
the Archers battling from be-
hind. On two occasions, the
blue and white was able to
knot the score when Smalley
connected on a couple of free
throws to even the score at 22
apiece followed by a 3-
pointer when Erik Miesle di-
aled in from long range to
even the score at 25.
Trailing by three down the
stretch, the Archers scored
the final four points of the
half on a bucket by Copsey
and a buzzer-beater from
Brumett to give the Archers a
29-28 lead at intermission.
Working hard to get the
lead at halftime was impor-
tant for us. It shifted the mo-
mentum back to us and we
came out and played a much
better second half, said
Hammer.
The Archers were able to
open up a lead in the third pe-
riod on the offensive play of
Jones and Smalley. Jones
scored a quick basket and
then added a traditional 3-
point play with 5:12 remain-
ing in the third for a 36-30
Archer lead.
Jones and Stout do not get
enough credit. As coaches, we
see what they do in practice
and they are the ones who do
the dirty work. They may not
score a lot of points, but they
get the job done rebounding
and playing aggressive in the
paint. Garrett (Jones) has good
footwork and he works hard to
get open, said Hammer.
Following a Tanner Clinga-
man bucket to pull the Panthers
to within four, 36-32, Smalley
reeled off the next nine points
for the Archers. Both Smalley
and Clingaman led their re-
spective teams with 22 points.
Smalley capped off the third
period with a 3-pointer to put
the Archers in control by dou-
ble digits, 49-38.
The fourth quarter was a
parade to the foul line with 27
foul shot taken. Clingaman
was the lone Stryker repre-
sentative at the charity stripe,
but made the most of his trips
hitting all eight attempts.
The Panthers managed to
whittle the Archer lead down
to six, 50-44, forcing an
Archer timeout, but the blue
and white responded with a
Brumett triple and two free
throws along with a couple of
throws from Copsey to push
the lead back to 12 at 58-46.
Joining Clingaman with 12
points was 6-foot-5 junior
Parker Ruffer.
I thought our bigs did a
good job against their bigs.
Parker is a great player and
we knew we had to slow him
down, but they also have
other players who are capable
of scoring. I felt like our guys
did a nice job, said Hammer.
The Archers, who have
won their last three games,
put 67 points on the board
with their previous high being
57 in a losing cause to Pet-
tisville.
We arent afraid to play at
a faster pace. Tonight we
played a little quicker, but we

QUESTION: My teenager
just got his learners permit
and Im nervous. Do you
have any advice for prepar-
ing him to drive?
JIM: There are plenty of
statistics and stories out there
to justify your concerns, so
youre wise to use this oppor-
tunity to teach safe driving
habits and influence your
young drivers behavior.
First, be patient and stay
cool. Teaching your son to
drive may be nerve-racking
for you, but its more so for
him. Give directions calmly
and clearly and be liberal
with encouragement and
praise.
Second, children will imi-
tate their parents, so model
safe driving habits for your
adolescent. Know the traffic
laws and enforce additional
limits based on his attitude
and skill. Observe the speed
limit and be courteous of
other drivers.
Third, consider phasing
your teen into full driving
privileges in steps. For exam-
ple, in stage one hes not al-
lowed to drive after dark,
while in stage two he can, but
only with adult supervision.
Fourth, emphasize basic
safety. Always require every-
one in the car to buckle up be-
fore the engine is started. He
should never drive if he is
drowsy and dont fail to drive
home the message that drink-
ing and driving kills. What-
ever your feelings about
alcohol, let him know that he
can always call you for a ride
to avoid being in a car with an
intoxicated driver.
Finally, if he refuses to cor-
rect unsafe driving habits,
confiscate the keys. The first
thing would-be drivers need
to learn is that driving is a
privilege, not a right. Your
first priority is not to win a
popularity contest, but to
keep him and others on the
road, alive and well, while he
learns to operate an automo-
bile safely and skillfully.
QUESTION: I know my
first responsibility to my
kids is as a parent, but how
can I build a friendship
with them?
DR. GREG SMALLEY,
vice president, Family Min-
istries: There are principles
and practices that are founda-
tional to all rich relationships.
When it comes to building a
friendship with your children,
these six are essential.
Articulate a lifetime com-
mitment.
A commitment that says,
No matter what happens, I
am here for you, and will
never stop loving you, pro-
vides the foundation of trust
necessary for friendship to
develop with your child.
Become a student of your
child.
Instead of forcing your
child to do something or be
someone theyre not, learn
who they are: their personal-
ity, natural talents, dreams,
fears, strengths and weak-
nesses. Interact with them
and encourage them accord-
ing to their individual unique-
ness and interests.
Schedule time together.
Set aside special time for
your child every day. Friend-
ships dont develop by
chance or accident, but are
the result of spending time to-
gether on a regular basis.
Be available.
Teachable moments, ill-
nesses and memorable events
dont always happen accord-
ing to our schedule. Some-
times, we must drop what
By Jim Daly
were doing, because our
children are more important.
By doing so, youll provide
them with a sense of security
and value.
Actively listen.
A good listener never as-
sumes they know what their
child is saying. By giving
your child your undivided at-
tention and asking clarifying
questions, youll be commu-
nicating that your childs
words and feelings are ex-
tremely important.
Use meaningful touch.
Not every friendship re-
quires an element of touch,
but for your kids its ab-
solutely essential. A gentle,
tender and warm touch from
a parent, hand holding, an
arm around the shoulder and
even bear hugs, provides
proven physiological and
psychological benefits for
kids, and communicates that
they are valued.
Building meaningful
friendships with children
takes time and effort. But if
you commit to and practice
these principles, then over
time a beautiful friendship
can blossom.
Winning the Battle for a Generation
By Rick Jones
exec. director, Defiance
Area Youth for Christ
What is Christmas about?
Paco Amodar, a pastor in
Little Village on Chicagos
west side, lives in a neigh-
borhood rife with gang vio-
lence. He tells the following
story about being invited to
lead a prayer vigil for a
young man who had been
gunned down by a rival
gang.
When I arrived at the
vigil, a large crowd of
young people, including
many known gang members
had already gathered around
the sidewalk where I would
be praying. I wondered,
What should I do? What
should I say?
I felt fearful and inade-
quate. Yet I also knew that
they had gathered for this
prayer vigil. So amid my
fears, I prayed silently,
Jesus, what do you want
me to do here?
As I looked out over the
crowd, I realized most of
these scary-looking gang
members were just kids,
mostly in their mid or late
teens, with some in their
twenties. I was old enough to
be their father. They had
surely been told repeatedly by
authority figures how wrong
their actions were and how
foolish gang activity was.
But, as I looked at these hurt-
ing teenagers, I wondered,
What would Jesus say to
these young people?
So, I asked permission to
speak from my heart. Then I
said, Since most of you are
half my age, I am the age of
your fathers. Would you
allow me to address you on
behalf of your fathers?
My son, my daughter,
would you forgive me for not
being there for you when you
were little? Will you forgive
me for not being there when
you took your first steps? Will
you forgive me for not being
there to play catch with you
when you were young? Will
you forgive me for leaving
you when you most needed
me?
As the words poured from
my lips, I could not control
myself. Tears ran freely down

DELTA Wayne Trace Varsity Wrestling
team competed in the Delta Duals this past
weekend.
Wayne Trace finished with a 1-4 mark at the
Brian Stultz Memorial Dual competition. The
Raiders defeated Edgerton, 47-36. The losses
came to Clyde, 58-24; Athens, 45-36; Defi-
ance, 43-32; and Delta, 73-6.
Leading the Raiders was Riley Moore, who
was the lone Raider to go 5-0 on the day.
Moore pinned all five of his opponents.
George Clemens, Dustin Taylor and Ruger
Goeltzenleuchter all were 4-1 on the day. Josh
Reel was 3-2, Jacob Dingus and Justin Pierce
where each 2-3 on the day.
Matt Baxter, Rian James, Zaine Cotterman
and Darin Showalter all won one match. Jake
Gerber competed at the event, but fell short of
a victory.
Tyler Showalter re-injured his knee during
the first match with Delta. Brandon Laney also
was injured during the Edgerton match.
Coach Clemens commented that he was
proud of his team and how they competed.
We got just what we came for. Last year
we revamped our competition schedule and
sought out the best competition we could
find, Clemens said. Delta is the returning
state champions; Defiance, Clyde and Athens
are all Div. II schools with very competitive
wrestling programs. This is the type of
matches we need to prepare us for the post
season.
I want to not only get as many wrestlers I
can to state, but I want to see them on the
podium, preferably at the top, the mentor
continued. I was very proud of Riley Moore.
He has improved so much in the last year. He
just really looks solid, and continues to im-
prove with each competition.
my cheeks. To my surprise,
many of them started to weep
with me. Something special
happened in that moment.
Following the gathering they
started to trust me even
though I had no credibility in
their world. I hadnt shared
their life, but I had shared
their pain.
What is Christmas about?
Is it not about Jesus Christ,
who tabernacled among us,
sharing in our pain and suffer-
ing? John writes John
1:10-12 (NIV) (10) He was in
the world and though the
world was made through him,
the world did not recognize
him. (11) He came to that
which was his own, but his
own did not receive him. (12)
Yet to all who received him,
to those who believed in his
name, he gave the right to be-
come children of God

Sandi Wolfle submitted this photo and asks if it could have been taken at the county court-
house. However, if you compare the windows, it doesnt really appear to be the courthouse; it
might not be Paulding. It looks like theres another story above the brick arches. No markings on
back of photo. Are the two men working on telephone lines? Does anyone know where this might
have been taken or what they were working on? If you have any information, please email us at
progress@progressnewspaper.org.
