Paulding: Income
surveys needed
PAULDING Maumee
Valley Planning Organ i za -
tion (MVPO) is conducting
a random income survey of
households in the Village of
Paulding. Income surveys
were mailed on March 3,
and unfortunately, not
enough responses were re-
ceived. Another mailing
went out on March 26.
Residents who receive a
survey in the mail are en-
couraged to return it in the
postage-paid envelope by
April 11. Results of the sur-
vey will be used to apply for
funds for future projects in
order to lower the cost to the
community.
If an insufficient number
of surveys are returned, the
results cannot be used to
apply for funds. The infor-
mation from the surveys is
held in strict confidence. For
questions regarding the sur-
vey form, contact MVPO at
419-784-3882.

But what do these sports
guys do as athletic directors?
It would be easy to list many
of their duties and be done
with it. Or I could simply re-
port how they put in a lot of
hours and how they do most
everything that is sports-relat-
ed at their school. But it goes
deeper than the stuff they do.
Its about their way, the atti-
tude, the spirit, in which it is
done. To be honest, this single
article will not come close to
sharing the entire picture of
what an athletic director does
at their school. But hopefully it
will spotlight their passion and
desire to make the most out of
the lives of the young people
whom they care about.
Jim Linder, in his 11th year
as the Wayne Trace AD, has
always been associated with
sports in one form or another.
He played sports while attend-
ing Wayne Trace and came up
through the coaching ranks
and is now serving as the
schools varsity basketball
coach, a position he has held
for six years.
The AD position came
about when his predecessor,
Leman Saylor, retired.
I was teaching full-time at
the junior high level and
Leman asked me if I would be
interested. Ive always loved
athletics and so I decided to do
it. I became the AD and the
junior varsity basketball
coach. For the past six years,
Linder has been on the side-
lines as the Raiders varsity
coach.
When asked what he does
as the schools AD, Jim rattled
off a list of responsibilities
without hesitation and then he
slowed down and said with a
laugh, Its like an AD told me
one time, youre responsible
for everything and you are in
charge of nothing.
Some of the duties Jim feels
are a vital part of his job are
communicating with other
schools and making sure
youre on the same page,
keeping accurate schedules for
all sports, and making sure of-
ficials are aware of their as-
signment. On the day Jim was
being interviewed, he was
working on his assignments of
officials.
Sometimes we schedule
officials and referees two
years in advance, so its im-
portant to communicate with
them throughout the year,
said Linder.

You could say its in their
blood. So when it comes to
athletics these three individu-
als love where they are and
what they do. Their job, or
maybe I should say, their pas-
sion, is evident when you talk
to them. The good far out-
weighs the bad (and there is
plenty of the latter), but they
press on to carry out their
many responsibilities. In some
respects, it is a thankless job.
But for these three, it is not
about the thanks but its about
the passion.
Recently, I had the opportu-
nity to interview each of the
three school athletic directors
who serve Paulding County:
Jim Linder of Wayne Trace,
Chris Etzler of Paulding and
Drew Altimus of Antwerp. In
talking to them, I quickly dis-
covered a common thread
about each of these men. They
all love their job, they love the
school and community they
serve, and they love the stu-
dent athletes as they witness
them grow into better athletes
and even better individuals.
And part of the growth and
maturity comes as a result of
these three who do their best
in order to produce the best
student athletes.

Every winter, the Department of
Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) picks a night in January for a
survey of the nations homeless. On
Jan. 28, NOCAC and the Northwest
Ohio Housing Coalition conducted
the annual Point-in-Time (PIT)
count in Defiance, Fulton, Henry,
Paulding, Van Wert and Williams
counties.
Paulding County had a total of
nine people considered homeless.
They included: one adult male, one
adult youth male, and a family con-
sisting of a man, woman and a
youth.
Also homeless in the county on
that PIT were three Paulding County
veterans.
Those falling in the at risk cate-
gory in Paulding County included:
13 adult men, 22 adult women, 18
male youth, 16 female youth and 40
families consisting of 29 men, 40
women and 49 youth.
On that day
alone, there were
144 homeless per-
sons seeking assis-
tance and another
602 persons iden-
tified to be at risk
of losing their
housing within the
next 4-6 weeks.
The number of
veterans in the six
county regions
currently at risk of
homelessness to-
taled 18, with
Paulding County
having three.
Families at risk
increased signifi-
cantly from 2012
and 2013, going
from approximate-
ly 93 families to 181 families.
Also included were the total num-
ber of families and
individuals who
were being assist-
ed for one night
only (in hotels or
motels) due to the
weather which to-
taled 26.
As frigid winter
weather descend-
ed on much of the
region in January,
there were serious
concerns for the
many people at
risk of physical
harm from the
polar vortex
cold.
In northwest
Ohio homeless
shelters were oper-
ating at capacity
according to reports. This forced
those who couldnt get in to try to
find alternate shelter or to seek shel-
ter all night in a 24-hour truck stop
to stay warm.
The PIT purpose is to take a sta-
tistical sample of what housing and
homelessness looks like on a single
day in communities throughout the
United States.
This years PIT count day was the
coldest on record for the region. The
unexpected and unprecedented ad-
verse conditions appeared to not
only increase the awareness of the
homeless in the region, but also
served as a catalyst for communities
to seek out the most vulnerable of
those.
In addition, some agencies that
have usually participated in the
count could not this day due to

ANTWERP With the
high school basketball sea-
son over and the college
scene wrapping up, there
will be one last opportunity
to catch some good basket-
ball this Saturday at Antwerp
High School. The inaugural
SportOne All-Star
Basketball Classic will hit
the floor on Saturday with
several players from the area
making taking their last bow
on the court.
The girls game will pit
players from Paulding and
Van Wert counties against
the girls from Adams
County, Ind. and the sur-
rounding Fort Wayne area.
Tip-off time is 6 p.m.
The boys game will begin
at approximately 8 p.m. fol-
lowing the 3-point contest.
As a part of the evenings
entertainment, a dunk con-
test held at half time of the
boys game.
Admission to the double-
header all-star game is $5.
The boys team from
Indiana will feature 6-foot-
11 Steve McElvene from
New Haven. McElvene has
signed to play college bas-
ketball for Archie Miller at
the University of Dayton.
The Flyers advanced to the
Elite Eight this year by
knocking off Ohio State,
Syracuse and Stanford.
Joining McElvene will be
teammate Lowell Griggs, a
6-foot-4 forward who helped
lead New Haven to a 19-4
record.
The Hoosier team will be
coached by Aaron McClure
from Adams Central.
McClure just completed his
13th year of coaching and
sports an overall record of
128-153 with two sectional
titles.
Indianas opponent is a
mix of talent from the three
Paulding County schools
along with Lincolnview and
Crestview from Van Wert
County. Van Wert High
School will not be participat-
ing due to prior comments,
but will have representation
in the girls game.
Division IV state champi-
ons, the Crestview Knights,
will be well represented with
three players including
Division IV Co-Player of the
Year for Ohio Damien
Helm. The 6-foot-5 forward
was also named Northwest
Conference Player of the
Year. In the state title match
up that saw the Knights de-
molish Louisville St.
Thomas Aquinas 71-44,
Helm, who averaged 15.2
points a contest, countered
with 20 points to lead the
champions. Helm will attend
IPFW and play baseball.
Two other Knights will be
playing Saturday night in-
cluding Tysen Bolenbaugh
and Cam Etzler. Bolen -
baugh, a Second Team selec-
tion in the NWC, collected
18 points in the finale at
Columbus. Etzler, the 6-
foot-0 point guard for
Crestview, finished with five
points in their win over
Aquinas. The Second Team
all-NWC selection will at-
tended Division III
Anderson (Ind.) and play for
the Ravens.
Paulding High School will
be represented with shooting
guard Kyle Kauser, a
Second Team all-NWC rep-
resentative, center Guy
Harder, and point guard
Quentin Vance. Kauser was
also selected Third Team
Associated Press Northwest

that question. I want to see
kids get better. When the sea-
son comes to a close and you
see kids have improved and
experienced a level of success
is exciting. You not only see
them develop in a positive
way on the field but off the
field as well.
Etzler feels that scheduling,
paperwork, and staying within
the budget is key.
Scheduling is the biggest
But what do these sports
guys do as athletic directors?
It would be easy to list many

desire to make the most out of

Jim Linder, in his 11th year
as the Wayne Trace AD, has
always been associated with
sports in one form or another.
He played sports while attend-
ing Wayne Trace and came up
through the coaching ranks
and is now serving as the
schools varsity basketball
coach, a position he has held
for six years.
The AD position came
about when his predecessor,
Leman Saylor, retired.
I was teaching full-time at
the junior high level and
Leman asked me if I would be
interested. Ive always loved
athletics and so I decided to do
it. I became the AD and the
junior varsity basketball

Linder has been on the side-
lines as the Raiders varsity
coach.
When asked what he does
as the schools AD, Jim rattled
off a list of responsibilities
without hesitation and then he
slowed down and said with a

youre on the same page,

ficials are aware of their as-
signment. On the day Jim was
being interviewed, he was
working on his assignments of
officials.
Sometimes we schedule
officials and referees two
years in advance, so its im-
portant to communicate with
them throughout the year,
said Linder.
Linder, like Etzler and
Altimus, has to make sure the
facilities are ready when its
game time.
With spring sports just
around the corner, there is the
responsibility of getting the
softball and baseball fields
lined and ready for the first
pitch. In the fall, there is the
preparation of the football
field for a Friday night game,
just to name a couple, said
Linder.
Paperwork is one of the
most time-consuming aspects
of an ADs job. Scheduling
gym time for the lower grades
and making sure all the coach-
es have their proper certifi-
cates, paying bills, and work-
ing at meeting the needs of the
coaches are all part of the job.
At Wayne Trace, we have
13 varsity sports and our ath-
letic budget is one of the
largest parts of the schools
budget, said Linder. During
the most busy time of the year,
its not unusual to be at the
school from 7 a.m. until 10:30
p.m.
What makes his job so re-
warding is being surrounded
by good people.
There is always the one
percent of people that are neg-
ative and can make the job
miserable, but we have a spe-
cial group of students here at
Wayne Trace and the 99 per-
cent of the community is al-
ways supportive. Not only do
we have good student athletes,
but I have a great secretary in
Deb Kipfer, who is a valuable
part of our athletic department.
She is planning to retire at the
end of the year and she will be
missed, said Linder.
When it comes to being
both a coach and the AD,
Linder feels that both positions
go hand-in-hand.
Many of the duties I have
to deal with as a coach I deal
with as the AD. Its all about
balance. I have a good stu-
dents and a good staff, Linder
concluded.
For Chris Etzler, the
Paulding AD has come full
circle, as high school and col-
lege football player, teacher,
high school coach, athletic di-
rector, and interim middle
school principal. Etzler was
head football coach at Wayne
Trace, Elida and Paulding,
where he was also dean of stu-
dents.
This year has been a little
different for me. Its the first
time since 1980 that I have not
been involved with football as
a player or coach, said Etzler.
However, being an athletic
director has always been a job
that he wanted to experience.
It goes back to when I was
in high school at Wayne Trace
and a teacher assistant when I
was a junior and senior. I was
able to work with Leman
Saylor, who was the athletic
director, and I saw the daily
operations and it interested
me, Etzler said. With athlet-
ics always being a big part of
my life growing up and having
a love for athletics I just knew
I wanted to be an AD some
day.
In that position, Etzler is
challenged with making sure
all the teams have what they
need.
There are so many teams.
Fourth, fifth, sixth grade teams
plus all the junior high and
high school teams, both boys
and girls, and trying to organ-
ize gym schedules can be dif-
ficult, said Etzler.
Having people who are
willing to help organize is a
benefit. Shawn Brewer is a
great organizer and he will put
together schedules that works
well for everyone, Etzler
said.
Being the AD at Paulding
adds extra responsibility dur-
ing basketball tournament
time because of the facility
Paulding offers.
We have one of the biggest
gyms in the area and we have
been hosting tournaments for
five years. It takes about 40
volunteers, but it is exciting to
have area schools come to
Paulding and showcase our fa-
cility and the efforts our staff
put forth, said Etzler. It
seems like people enjoy com-
ing to Paulding for the
games.
This year was difficult for
Etzler, who had to be at
Paulding on the nights the
school was hosting tourna-
ment games and the Paulding
boys team was advancing in
tournament play.
That was certainly a disad-
vantage. As athletic director
you want to see your team
play and advance, but my first
responsibility was to be here.
When it comes to the most
rewarding aspect of being the
schools athletic director,
Etzler thought for a moment
and said, Well, I need to put
my coaching hat on to answer
press on to carry out their
many responsibilities. In some
respects, it is a thankless job.
But for these three, it is not
about the thanks but its about
the passion.
Recently, I had the opportu-
nity to interview each of the
three school athletic directors
who serve Paulding County:
Jim Linder of Wayne Trace,
Chris Etzler of Paulding and
Drew Altimus of Antwerp. In
talking to them, I quickly dis-
covered a common thread
about each of these men. They
all love their job, they love the
school and community they
serve, and they love the stu-
dent athletes as they witness
them grow into better athletes
and even better individuals.
And part of the growth and
maturity comes as a result of
these three who do their best
in order to produce the best

Wayne Trace, who was de-
feated by Crestview in their
tournament run at Bowling
Green, will have Colby
Speice and Devin Wenzlick
playing in the classic on
Saturday. Both Raiders were
GMC Honorable Mention
with Speice being named
Paulding County Player of the
Year.
In what will most likely be
their final game on their home
court, both Derek Smalley
and Kaden Brumett will rep-
resent the Archers. Smalley, a
First Team all-Paulding
County and First Team Green
Meadows Conference selec-
tion, will attend Defiance
College and is looking to con-
tinue his baseball career.
Rounding out the Ohio
team is First Team All-NWC
Kyle Williams from
Lincolnview. The Ohio squad
will be coached by Antwerps
T.J. Hammer, who guided the
Archers to a 14-10 season in
his first year at the helm for
the blue and white.
The Ohio girls team will
have six players from
Paulding County.
Three players from Wayne
Trace will include Paulding
County Player of the Year
Lauren Speice, who was also
selected First Team all-GMC,
and teammate Brenda Feasby
who was GMC Honorable
Mention. Sylvia Young will
be the tallest player at 6-foot-
4 for the Ohio Stars.
Pauldings Sierra
McCullough and Abby Pease,
both NWC Honorable
Mention players, will be play-
ing for their head coach
Lindsey Shultz while
Antwerps Kaiya Jemison will
be the lone Lady Archer.
Other players will include
Lincolnviews Christine
Steman, and from Van Wert,
point guard Cheyenna Handy
and Kaitlyn Hall.
The group of girls on the
other side of the state line will
be coached by New Havens
Shawn Shearer and will be led
by 6-foot Dzejna Ahmetovic
from South Adams, who aver-
aged nearly 14 points per con-
test, and Abby Busse with an
11-point average.
Other players for the
Indiana squad will come from
Eastside, South Adams, New
Haven, Leo, Belmont and
Adams Central.
Sponsoring the all-star clas-
sic is SportONE who devel-
oped the regions first and
most comprehensive sports
medicine program in 1990.
One part of their program is
providing local schools diag-
nostic, treatment, and rehabil-
itation services. Antwerp is
one of the schools that has
partnered with SportONE and
is appreciative for their sup-
port throughout the year and
for their added support to-
wards the success of the all
star games.

According to the National
Coalition for the Homeless,
there are 3.5 million home-
less Americans, and on any
given night, over 700,000
people are without a home.
Approximately 700 of
these homeless people will
die from hypothermia every
year. Those deaths tend to
occur in the East Coast and in
the Midwest. Temperatures in
the region have repeatedly
stayed below freezing this
winter leaving thousands of
homeless people in danger.
Although homeless people
living in rural areas tend to be
less visible than those sleep-
ing on city streets, curling up
in doorways or under
bridges, they are not invisi-
ble. They are sleeping in stor-
age units, stores, unlocked
vehicles, in tents, or their
cars. Shelters are often harder
to access, and too far away to
walk.
As it has been in years past,
the 2014 homelessness count
is an effort to shine a stark
light onto what, on any given
day, is the reality of the in-
visible and very present
problem of the homeless pop-
ulation of northwestern Ohio.

The Amish Cook
By: Lovina Eicher
work that goes into making
maple syrup and neither did I.
We never cooked our own so
its interesting to hear about
how its done.
Last Thursday evening son
Benjamins eighth grade class
prepared supper for their par-
ents, grandparents and sib-
lings. Their teacher does a
wonderful job in guiding
these young students how to
cook and prepare a meal for
around 100 people or more.
Our family of 10 attended
and the food was delicious.
The menu was: mashed pota-
toes, gravy, meatloaf, meat
balls, green beans, dinner
rolls and butter, tossed salad,
brownies, ice cream, milk,
and coffee. The eighth graders
did a great job in serving us.
We then had a lot of laughs and
were entertained by comedian
Craig Tournquist. He was a
great encouragement to the
eighth graders as how to have
a successful life ahead. We then
all split into groups to listen to
the exit interviews and presen-
tations of the eighth graders
portfolios. It was interesting to
hear of what each one had for
their goal in life. For the four
Amish boys in this class it is
their final year of school, while
their classmates will all go on
to high school. May God guide
each of them in the path they
choose.
On the way home from
school we had planned to stop
at Elizabeths friend Timo-
It is the first day of spring.
The temperature is staying
around the freezing mark this
morning. I am hoping we will
see some sun to make it seem
more like spring.
Yesterday it rained but I
didnt mind as much. Some
of our church women gath-
ered to have a quilting. The
two quilts are being made for
the benefit auction for the
Community Health Center.
The patterns of the quilts
were Lonestar Fan and
Beavers Weavers. I helped on
the Beavers Weavers and it
was a little confusing until
you figured out where to quilt
on it. We all packed our
lunches so everyone could
stay quilting and not have to
take time to make lunch. I
enjoy quilting so the day went
fast. Daughter Verena did
some more cleaning out of
drawers and mopped the
floors while I was gone all
day. It seems the floors get
tracked up faster with the
ground thawing and snow
melting.
Saturday daughter Susan
helped her friend Mose cook
maple syrup. Mose took over
cooking the maple syrup this
year that his Dad usually
cooks. They have a lot of
maple trees. It was a neat ex-
perience for Susan. Moses
family gave us maple syrup
last year and the children like
it better than pancake syrup.
Susan didnt realize all the
thys house to see the little
foal his horse had delivered a
few days earlier. It was such
a cold, windy evening Joe
and I decided to come on
home. Elizabeth, Benjamin
and Joseph stopped to see the
foal. It is always exciting to
see a frisky newborn foal.
This is a cold March for
newborn foals to be born in.
Our horse Ginger was born in
March 10 years ago. Our
horse Itty Bit delivered her
six days after our move from
Indiana to Michigan. We still
have both horses. Blessings
to all. For those of you that
are fortunate enough to have
maple syrup, try this pie!
MAPLE CUSTARD PIE
2-1/4 cups brown sugar
9 tablespoons flour
9 egg yolks
6 tablespoons maple syrup
3/4 teaspoon salt
6 cups scalded milk
Frosting:
9 egg whites, beaten
3/4 teaspoon salt
18 tablespoons powdered
sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix flour and brown sugar
and press into 3 unbaked pie
crusts. Beat egg yolks and
add maple syrup, salt and
milk, and carefully pour this
mixture over the sugar mix-
ture. Do not mix. Bake at 425
degrees for 10 minutes.
Lower to 325 and bake for
23-30 minutes. Top with
frosting and brown.

Construction is quickly progressing on Antwerp Exchange Banks new Payne Banking Center.
Payne Chamber involved
in numerous projects
PAYNE Following the election of
new officers in January, and the antici-
pation of having another great year, most
everyones attention was diverted to
dealing with the harsh winter weather.
However, with springs arrival last week,
were not only anticipating an increase
in temperatures, but an increase in activ-
ity within the Payne Chamber of Com-
merce and the community.
The new Antwerp Exchange Banks
Payne Banking Center construction is in
full force vault is in, walls are up, roof
is on.
Dennings Drive-In has opened;
Menos House of Pancakes has reopened
with a brand new menu under the new
name of Sams Caf; and the Pucker-
brush Pizzeria and Good Times Saloon
continue to provide daily lunch and din-
ner specials.
Easter and the Charity Basketball
Marathon are just a few weeks away and
the opening ceremonies for this 36th an-
nual event will begin on Good Friday,
April 18. In addition, events planned by
the chamber for the year include the
Payne Relief 5-K on July 26 and some-
thing new an independent consultant
open house. Stay up to date on plans for
these events by following the chambers
Facebook page.
To date, the Payne Chamber has 110
members and appreciate each and every-
one of those members for their continued
support. Most of these members have
had a direct impact on the transformation
of the downtown during the past few
years.
When the construction of AEBs
Payne Banking Center is complete, the
Village of Paynes administrative offices
and police department will move to the
building currently occupied by the bank
leaving, their former building vacant and
available for purchase.
Anyone interested in this building is
encouraged to contact chamber president
Chad Benschneider for more informa-
tion and/or a tour. He may be reached at
419-263-2277 or 419-769-4708.
In similar news, residents may recall
that the chamber purchased and then de-
molished the former Billy-Jos (green
awning) building early last summer. Until
such time as this vacant lot is utilized for
further economic development purposes,
the chamber has considered several ideas
on how the lot can be used . The most in-
teresting idea that they are pursuing right
now is that of allowing the lot to be used
as a community garden one that could be
used for or by community members, or for
4-H projects, or for FFA projects, or for the
enjoyment of, or by a garden club.
Items grown could possibly be used as
local restaurant fare, or food for the local
food pantries. While the lot is not huge,
chamber leaders feel that a garden could
be a very valuable asset to the look and feel
of the downtown landscape.
Interested parties are encouraged to con-
tact the chamber for guidance and expert-
ise in making this happen in our
community.
For up-to-date information on the up-
coming Payne Relief 5-K, independent
consultant open house, available commer-
cial space and the potential community
garden, message them through Facebook,
email at paynechamber@gmail.com, or
phone Benschneider at 419-769-4708 or
419-263-2277 or chamber secretary Ash-
ley Doctor at 419-406-0911.

Setting record
straight on
library levy
Dear Editor,
I would like to address a
few concerns I continue to
hear regarding the Paulding
County Carnegie Library levy
on the upcoming ballot on
May 6.
The levy is a RENEWAL of
the 2009 levy. It is not a new
levy and it is not in addition to
the levy we currently receive.
If this levy is not renewed, our
budget will be cut by almost
55%.
Our revenue is made up of
the following:
Levy Related Revenue
54.5%
State Public Library Fund
42.1%
Fines and Fees 1.3%
Interest 1.0%
Rebates and Miscella-
neous 1.0%
Donations 0.1%
Total: 100.0%
The millage is the SAME
as it was in 2009 and, there-
fore, NO NEW TAXES. A
property owners taxes related
to this levy will be the same
or lower than they were in
2009 because it is based on
the valuation at the time of the
levy, not current valuations.
Even if your valuation were to
increase, the taxes paid related
to this levy will not increase,
because it is a renewal.
If you have any additional
questions about the levy,
please contact myself or
Susan Pieper, the director.

In My Opinion
Theres lots to do
for little or no cost
By Joyce Huseby Guest Columnist
Have you talked to anyone in the past few months that has-
nt said Im sick of the weather/snow? Doubtful!
Its easy to get moody when there isnt any sunshine for
days and you hear a lot of grumbling about it. Maybe the
thing to do is break the monotony with something you dont
usually do. If you have a camera stuck away somewhere,
how about walking or driving around in the county and take
a few snapshots of places or people you havent seen for a
long time. Maybe an artistic look at the view off a bridge or
the scene behind the library.
Speaking of the library, if
you dont have a library card
it costs just a dollar to get
one. That opens up a whole
world of things to do. I see
posters in the elevator with
programs they are having for
the kids every so often. If
you sign up the kids, that
frees mom/dad to some free time to look around and read the
local newspapers. Also, a huge variety of magazines, CDs
and even DVDs are available for borrowing free of charge.
The main attraction are the hundreds (thousands?) of
books from the very newest titles to the old favorites plus
recorded books, and they can also help you get what you
want onto your Kindle. If they dont have the book on hand,
they will gladly do an interlibrary loan, which is also free
(unless you keep it too long, of course).
My main interest is going to the library and using the com-
puters, which are also free to use. I hear a lot of negative
comments about not caring about computers and not know-
ing how to use one, etc. I have to laugh at that since its just
typing in what you want and then tapping your index finger
on the mouse to choose what you want. Actually, the library
staff gives computer classes every few months, especially for
beginners. If youre bored, its not the librarys fault!
The library isnt the only place to meet and talk to people.
There are always the coffee shops, such as McDonalds
where you can get a senior coffee for 70 cents and sit and
visit with all the friends, neighbors and business people who
come in and out at all hours. You usually see someone you
know. Of course, the same goes for the Dairy Queen, which
has a special every day with no coupon needed that makes it
more economical for you to eat out with a friend every once
in a while. Between 2-4 p.m., you get a real deal any drink
with a straw for half price, even milk shakes. That place is so
neat and clean and the food is always good. It makes it a
pleasure to go in.
If you really want to go talk to people, go into the Past
Time Caf. They always seem to have people coming and
going during the day. The food is great and the portions are
generous. They have specials most days, too, and the quality
is good so you can call up someone to go with you and be
sure they will enjoy the lunch and the friendly employees.
The Paulding County Senior Center has nice activities and
programs all year long. If you are of this age group, they will
be happy to help you with your questions, or join them for a
meal or activity. They offer many services, many of which
are free. The staff is friendly and helpful and you may find
some old friends or new ones if you pay a visit to the center.
They have speakers who discuss financial questions, help
with income taxes, give information about Medicare, nutri-
tion and many other topics.
There are probably lots more things to do in Paulding
County that I havent brought up, but when the sun starts
shining we seem to get more inspiration. Monroe Park will
be finished before long, and theres LaFountain Park where
you can take a snack and sit in the sunshine and fresh air
(soon). Think about all the ball games and the swimming
pool opening.
The newspaper is always a good source of activities and
new ideas. Many clubs and organizations print their meetings
in the Progress and you might find something that interests
you.
Maybe someone who reads this will be inspired to come
up with some more things to do that dont cost much and
write a letter to the editor with their ideas to share. Letters to
the editor are my favorite part of the newspaper. They dont
cost anything to have printed. Its especially nice when they
are positive and make you feel good when you read them.

Dinner theater production to
benefit Huber Opera House
HICKSVILLE A wedding is a life event that
is supposed be filled with joy, exciting, and a
memorable experience for the bride, the groom,
and the guests alike. While weddings require at-
tention to a myriad of details, and months of plan-
ning, most go off without a hitch.
This is not the case in the upcoming A Wed-
ding to Die For dinner theater production at The
Huber Opera House (HOH) in Hicksville, April
4-5. Presented by The Hicksville Village Players,
and Hicksville Kiwanis, all proceeds will benefit
HOH Projects. The audience will enjoy a rendi-
tion of a brides worst nightmare.
A Wedding to Die For combines the best el-
ements of comedy and murder mysteries, said
Mary Smith, a founding member of the Huber
Board, and co-producer of the production. When
a murder is discovered, the audience is invited to
join in the hunt for clues. Finally, the case is
solved, and the cake is served.
The audience is invited to the wedding and re-
ception on April 4 and 5 at the Huber Opera
House in downtown Hicksville . Two options are
available: play only ($10), or dinner and play
($15). Group rates are available. For more infor-
mation or to reserve seats, call 419 542-9553.
This dinner theater production is a Huber Opera
House fundraiser spearheaded by the Hicksville
Kiwanis Club and The Hicksville Village Players.
Virlynn Rex directs a talented cast of area ac-
tors, including Bruce Essex, Kelly Wilson, Jeff
Rumple, Mary Smith, Cord Ehrhart, Jamy Shaf-
fer, Terina Wakefield and Brooke Schooley. Wed-
ding Hostesses are Sandy Berkabile and
Mercedes Moncivais.
This play by Eileen Moushey, is produced by
special arrangement with Mysteries by
Moushey Inc.
Paulding Council hears
AEPs tree trimming plans
By BILL SHERRY
Correspondent
PAULDING Paulding Village Council met in
regular session on March 17 and heard a presen-
tation by Richard Bosse and Keith Chapman from
American Electric Power (AEP) regarding the
trimming of trees in the village.
Bosse noted that the tree trimming/cutting
process will not be as extreme as it was in 2010,
and expects his crews to be in and out of the vil-
lage with trimming completed in four days.
He said approximately 300 trees will be ad-
dressed (down from the 1,100 that were cut down
and 650 trimmed in 2010). He did note two po-
tential areas of concern at 303 E. Caroline St. and
at 114 W. Caroline St.
Bosse also noted the ash trees in Live Oak
Cemetery will not be addressed by AEP. They will
be the responsibility of the village.
AEP intends to perform the tree trimming in
May or early June and the trimming will need to
be completed about every four years depending
on the type of trees.
Village officials said Liberty Power had the
lowest bid for the village electrical power. Con-
tinued discussions and approval are pending.
Village administrator Harry Wiebe reported that
the village has incurred approximately $21,000 in
expense for snow removal this winter roughly
$10,000 in salt and $11,000 in snow removal as-
sistance along with approximately 380 hours of
overtime removing snow and ice from the road-
ways.
Expenditures and overtime hours are up ap-
proximately $15,000 and 290 hours from last win-
ter.
Wiebe had met with representatives of Jones &
Henry Engineers regarding moving forward with
Phase 2 of the sewer separation project as ODOT
has moved up its repaving project. Wiebe noted
he would rather the sewer separation project pre-
cede the resurfacing project to avoid damaging the
roadway within a year. He also noted that he
would like to see the Williams Street waterline be
replaced prior to the resurfacing project to avoid
a similar situation.
Solicitor Mike Jones recommended scheduling
a committee of the whole meeting in the near fu-
ture.
He also noted the village opened solid waste
bids on March 5 with Werlor Waste Control being
the lowest bidder at $9.59 per month. Council
voted unanimously to extend the village solid
waste contract to Werlor. Casey Wertz of Werlor
was present to thank the village for its past years
of using Werlor Waste Control for the village.
Council unanimously passed Resolution No.
1288-14 amending the holidays section of the vil-
lage personnel policy and procedures manual.
Mark Holtsberry was present, seeking support
at the May 6 primary as he runs for Paulding
County commissioner.
The next scheduled meeting will be held at 6:30
p.m. on Monday, April 7.

CRUISING DOWN THE RIVER
I am sure we are getting
tired of the cold, damp,
weather and perhaps would
like to go on a cruise to where
the weather is warmer. Per-
sonally, I have never been a
fan of water travel, so there-
fore I have gone on any type
of cruise. I believe I am too
claustrophobic to sleep on a
ship and want to the peace of
mind that if I wanted to get
off the vessel, I could just get
out and walk on dry land.
Many people love cruise
ships, though, and have been
on many successful trips.
However, isnt it amazing
how ships, cruises, and water
transportation have changed
and cruises are now consid-
ered luxuries?
Lets go back to the 1700s,
board a ship and see how
those seamen lived, worked,
ate and played. Ship ahoy!
Men working at sea during
those days had a lot to en-
dure. Cut off from normal life
on shore for months, even
years, they accepted cramped
conditions, disease, poor food
and pay.
Officers kept strict disci-
pline on board and in this way
hoped to keep morale high
and prevent mutiny.
Punishments at sea were
designed as warnings to oth-
ers. Seamen could be tarred
and feathered, tied to a rope,
swung overboard and ducked
or keelhauled (dragged round
the underneath of the ship).
Flogging was the most
common, though, with the
whole crew often being made
to watch. A seaman found
guilty of mutiny or murder
would be hung from the yard
arm.
What about the food on
those ships? The main rations
were salt beef or pork,
cheese, fish, ale and some
form of ships biscuit. The
quality of the food deterio-
rated, because of storage
problems, lack of ventilation,
and poor drainage.
It was also affected by the
presence of rats and other
vermin on board. Biscuits
were often filled with mag-
gots and weevils, a type of
beetle.
There was a great deal of
sickness at sea, because sea-
men were often cold and wet,
rats carried disease, and the
poor diet not only caused
malnutrition but specific ill-
nesses. The surgeons and
doctors worked in cramped
and filthy conditions with no
anesthetic for patients having
amputations.
The sailors did make the
best of their cramped living
quarters, enjoying games of
dice, cards, telling tales, play-
ing musical instruments,
carving, drawing, practicing
knots or model making. Also,
as much as a gallon of beer
A Penny For
Your Thoughts....

was rationed to the sailors
each day, often served mixed
with water. Now does all this
make you want to set sail on
an expedition or an explo-
ration? Not I.
The modern day cruise
lines have their own problems
as well. They are not fool
proof.
The Carnival Triumph be-
came a major media story
when it caught fire off the
coast of Mexico. The blaze
left the vessel drifting in the
Gulf of Mexico currents with
more than 4,200 passengers
and crew on board. They
were left in limbo on the dis-
abled ship without electricity
and working toilets.
One passenger said after dis-
embarking, The bathroom fa-
cilities were horrible and we
could not flush toilets. No elec-
tricity and our rooms were in
total darkness. Honestly, I think
that this ship should have never
sailed out.
Hopefully if anyone does
go on a cruise, they have bet-
ter conditions than those who
sailed the seas 400 years ago
and on The Triumph just one
year ago. Happy sailing and I
think I see spring on the hori-
zon.
Have you ever gone on a
cruise ship? Would you have
liked to have been a seaman
years ago? Let me know and
Ill give you a Penny for Your
Thoughts.

What are April showers creating?
By Mark Holtsberry
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
Invasive species are plants and animals not
native to a region. When introduced into a na-
tive ecosystem, they are competing against na-
tive plant and animals. Invasive species can be
introduced accidentally or on purpose. Many
are brought in with shipments of produce or
plants from foreign countries, or hitchhike on
ships and planes. Many animals are brought
in legally as pets, and then released when peo-
ple dont want them anymore.
These nonnative species get into an ecosys-
tem with no natural predators or means to con-
trol their population. Now, with ideal living
conditions, they can reproduce out of control.
Invasive species can introduce disease into na-
tive populations and limit the ability of natural
systems to recover from disturbances.
Examples of common invasive plants in-
clude garlic mustard and honeysuckle, and
common animals such as European starling,
house sparrow, emerald ash borer, zebra mus-
sel. Many of these species have been in the
United States for many years.
Starlings were brought from Europe and re-
leased to remind newly immigrated families
of their native countryside. Although both
these species are well established in the
ecosystems, they continue to cause problems.
The emerald ash borer, from Asia, was ac-
cidentally introduced just a few years ago and
is currently spreading very quickly from the
east coast and have decimated population of
ash trees in their wake.
So, what can you do to help stop this inva-
sion?
Plant only native plants in your landscaping
and buy local. Plants shipped in from other
countries, and even other states can transport
invasive species, so buy local!
If you put up bird houses, watch for and re-
move house sparrow nests. These aggressive
birds kill bluebirds and discourage them from
nesting in your boxes.
At the feeder, purchase black oiler sunflower
seeds or thistle which house sparrows dont pre-
fer. Please skip the cheaper mixed seed.
And above all, educate yourself. Know what
species to watch for so you can remove them
from your yard. If we all gain a better under-
standing about the threat invasive species pose
to our native ecosystems, we can take easy steps
now to prevent problems in the future.

Winning the Battle for a Generation

By Rick Jones
Defiance Area Youth for
Christ executive director
Who is our enemy, really?
Who would have ever thought that one of the
most popular classes that have captured the
minds of young people has to do with the subject
of death?
An article in the Wall Street Journal claims
that thousands of college courses on dying and
mortality are being held nationwide.
The article reports, At Kean University, for
example, students are dying (as it were) to get
into Norma Bowes class Death in Perspective,
which has sometimes carried a three-year wait-
ing list.
The students take field trips to the local
morgue, cemeteries, hospice units, and funeral
homes. The article continues, Sure, its morbid.
But graduates of college death classes often
come away with an important skill: the ability to
talk frankly about death.
Today, growing numbers of Americans are
confronting death as something more than an ab-
stract possibility. So-called death dinners, in
which people gather to talk about the inevitable,
are increasingly popular; so are death salons, fea-
turing discussions of death over craft beer. Death
cafes, events whose dark talk is perked up by tea
and cake, have sprouted up in more than 100
cities.
Its an interesting trend, especially for followers
of Christ who should find the Bible utterly frank
about whats called the last enemy, death.
Regarding our last enemy, death, the scriptures
say1 Corinthians 15:54-57 (NIV) (54) When
the perishable has been clothed with the imper-
ishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the
saying that is written will come true, Death has
been swallowed up in victory. (55) Where, O
death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your
sting? (56) The sting of death is sin, and the
power of sin is the law. (57) But thanks be to
God! He gives us the victory through our Lord
Jesus Christ.

QUESTION: What are
some things I can do to
make good memories for
my kids and family?
JIM: Building memories as a
family is important to create
a sense of common identity
and heritage. Accomplishing
it, though, can be tough, espe-
cially when the demands of
the day-to-day grind leave
you short on time and sapped
of energy.
Below are some simple ideas
that have been successful
memory builders for many
families. Perhaps theyll
work for yours.
Give the gift of time.
Schedule one-on-one time
with your kids. If youre run-
ning errands, take one of
them along and talk and learn
about what they find interest-
ing. Make a special day of
taking your child to work
with you if your employer al-
lows.
Make generous use of pen
and paper. While your child is
small and growing, journal
thoughts, observations and
events in their lives and give
it to them when theyre
grown. Write letters to them
for special occasions, when a
milestone is reached, or when
theyve experienced success
or disappointment. When
your son or daughter is ready
to leave the nest for college or
another destination, write a
special letter pronouncing
your blessings and conveying
your release.
Plan vacations that center
around the unique loves and
interests of your clan. If funds
or time are short, set up a tent
and camp out in the backyard.
Make holidays special by
starting new traditions or re-
creating old ones.
On your childs 13th birth-
day, take the entire evening to
celebrate the transition to
adolescence. Consider com-
memorating the occasion
with a meaningful gift.
But whatever you do, dont
let the years pass without cre-
ating some memorable times
that your children will cherish
and perhaps pass on to their
own kids someday. Youll be
glad you did.
QUESTION: Weve agreed
to let our 25-year-old
daughter move back home
with us. Shes working a
part-time job, but feels she
needs to come back and
get her life together be-
fore moving on to the next
step. We dont know what
this means or how to navi-
gate the process. Any ad-
vice?
DR. GREG SMALLEY,
vice president, Family Min-
istries: Youre in good com-
pany. For many reasons, some
understandable and others re-
grettable, the number of young
adults living at home, or
boomerang kids, is at a
record high. Whatever the cir-
cumstances, the goal for par-
ents in this situation should be
the same: to help their child re-
alize emotional and material
independence.
To start, its important to
honestly evaluate everyones
motives. Are you lonely?
Needing someone who de-
pends on you? Fearful of and
avoiding the empty nest? Or do
you want to encourage growth
and maturity? Is your daughter
a perma-child, looking for
someone to take care of her?
Or is she striving to achieve
goals that will lead to her inde-
pendence?
Next, youll want to discuss
and agree on your terms. Some
areas to cover are:
House Rules: If you dont
approve of overnight guests,
blaring stereos, profanity,
drug use, etc., then clarify
your standards up front.
Household Responsibili-
ties: Some amount of rent
should be required, even if
its below market. Making
these payments will develop
habits necessary for inde-
pendence. The same is true
for contributions in the form
of chores.
Progress Indicators: Ongo-
ing lodging privileges should
be tied to evidence of moving
forward. Is she searching for
full-time work? Are school
loans and debts being paid
down? Is money being saved
for future goals?
Length of Stay: A goal for
finding her own place should
be discussed and agreed on.
The date neednt be set in
stone, and can be re-evalu-
ated based on circumstances
and the progress being made.

OPEN HOUSE HELD Emmanuel Baptist Church in Paulding held an open house March 24 for the public to see and hear plans
for its proposed The Well Community and Youth Center and provide input on what programs would best serve Paulding County.
A community garden, free respite care for families affected by disability, after-school programming, community classes, youth
sports and a coffee shop are among the initial plans. The church has raised about $300,000 of the approximately $800,000 for this
project. For more information or to donate, contact Pastor Drew Gardner at 419-399-5061. A Facebook page has been set up for
The Well Community and Youth Center.

NEW HOOPS FOR HEART
RECORD Antwerp Middle and
High School held its annual
Hoops for Heart competition on
Wednesday, March 19. The win-
ning three-on-three high school
team was Derek Smalley, Josh
Longardner and Brock Taylor.
The winning three-on-three mid-
dle school team was Josh Poul-
son, Dylan Peters and Spencer
Sells. Erik Miesle won the high
school 3-point competition, as
well as the high school free
throw contest. Nathan Lee was
the middle school 3-point win-
ner, while Josh Poulson was the
middle school free throw con-
test winner. Students had to
raise at least $10 to attend or
participate in the event. Becca
Johanns raised the most money
in the high school with $180,
while Jon Pendergrast raised
the most in the middle school
with a total of $133.89. Overall,

Jason Reeb.
Antwerp Wrestling Club
competes at Defiance
DEFIANCE The Antwerp Wrestling Club recently com-
peted at the Defiance Wrestling Tournament on March 29. All
14 Archer wrestlers were able to place in the top four of their
respective weight classes.
Placing fourth were Karsen Donat and Ethan Steele. Finish-
ing third in the tournament were Logan Shaner, Lance McK-
eever and Logan McKeever.
Ending the day in second were Ethan Karam, Kamren John-
son, Luke McKeever, Eli Reinhart, Kaden Phares and Tyler
Bauer.
The Archers were able to get three champions in the tourna-
ment on Saturday as well. They were Avin Johnson, Aidan
McAlexander and Justice Clark
Congratulations to all of the Archer wrestlers for their hard
work and success throughout this club season. Catch the
Archers in their season finale when they compete in the Archer
Open at Antwerp High School on April 5.
thing. You have to schedule
umpires, referees, track offi-
cials, plus I am the conces-
sions and ticket manager.
With all the paper work that
includes making sure your
teams are entered in all the
OHSAA tournaments, the el-
igibility of players, it is all
very time consuming, Etzler
said.
With all the long hours, Et-
zler misses spending time
with his family. Often he is at
the school until 10 p.m.
I have four daughters and
a granddaughter and I miss
spending time with them. The
one good thing about my kids
is they enjoy coming to the
gym. With a chuckle, Etzler
said, And my wife Stacie
puts up with it.
Antwerp athletic director
Drew Altimus, a teacher since
1994 and varsity football
coach since 1997, has worn a
third hat as AD since 2003.
I was the assistant athletic
director when our AD at that
time, Steve Arnold, became
Antwerp middle school prin-
cipal, said Altimus.
Altimus, who describes
himself as a people person,
admits the job is far more
than he realized it would be
when he first stepped into the
position.
Sitting in his office the day
I interviewed him, Altimus
was on the phone making a
purchase for some equipment
for one of the spring sports
teams. When asked what he
does as Antwerp athletic di-
rector, he laughed out loud
and said that he couldnt re-
ally explain it all. He sug-
gested that I should come out
to the school and just spend
the day and follow him
around. Every day is differ-
ent, but very busy with long
hours. However, after 11
years, he appreciates the re-
wards it brings.
To see teams do well and
individuals have success is
what its all about, Altimus
said.
Like Linder and Etzler, Al-
timus is overwhelmed by the
amount of paperwork that is
involved for students to play
sports.
For kids to play they have
seven different forms that
need signed. Along with the
kids are all the coaches and
making sure they are up-to-
date on their certificates and
mandatory classes such as
first aid, said Altimus.
Altimus, who teaches
physical education each
morning from 7:50-11:45,
has no secretary, but he cred-
its his coaches working to-
gether that benefits the kids.
We are all team players
and we know we wont make
everyone happy, but its our
plan to always do our best.
Personally, my motto is to try
to make myself irreplaceable.
To do my job and do it well,
he said.
At Antwerp, the athletic de-
partment has instituted a drug
policy where all athletes are
subjected to a drug test.
Each sports season, all
student athletes are given the
test and then during their re-
spective season 20 percent of
the students are randomly
tested again. This is some-
thing that I believe is impor-
tant for our kids and I am glad
for the support we get from
the staff and community,
said Altimus.
One of the challenges he
faces, like most school dis-
tricts and sports departments,
is budgets and funding.
We are working on getting
new scoreboards for the gym
and football field, among
other items. We count on the
attendance at football and
basketball games for revenue.
If we have a couple of bad
weather nights during the
football season and atten-
dance is low, then we find
ourselves in somewhat of a
bind financially, said Al-
timus.
If this job being AD was
nothing but one headache
after another and the commu-
nity was always against you,
then I would have been gone
long ago, but thats not
Antwerp, he continued.
Antwerp is a great commu-
nity to live in and it has al-
ways been supportive with
our athletics. They have a
way to welcome you to the
community and although I
have had opportunity to move
on to other coaching and
teaching situations I decided
to stay here, concluded Al-
timus.
For Linder, Etzler and Al-
timus, the long hours, the pa-
perwork, the good and the
bad are all worth it. Its all
worth it because its not about
them but its about the kids
and giving them the best op-
portunity to excel and suc-
ceed in sports and in life.

Turning 65 this year?
Learn Medicare basics
COLUMBUS Are you one of the nearly
150,000 Ohioans who will celebrate their 65th
birthdays this year?
If so, you will become eligible for Medicare
and will likely have questions about your
health care benefits. You will face a dizzying
array of choices: Which prescription drug plan
is right for you? Should you choose traditional
Medicare coverage or a Medicare Advantage
plan? Do you need a Medicare supplemental
plan, or gap coverage?
The Ohio Department of Aging is dedicated
to meeting the needs of Ohios growing and
changing aging population, including helping
you make informed decisions. The options
available with Medicare can be confusing, and
the decisions you make can impact the quality
of your health care for a long time. To help, we
continue our long-standing partnership with the
Ohio Department of Insurance, under the lead-
ership of Lt. Governor/Director Mary Taylor.
Staff and volunteers in the Departments
Ohio Senior Health Insurance Information
Program (OSHIIP) provide older Ohioans like
you with free, friendly assistance in choosing
Medicare options that best suit your needs
sometimes saving you money. Last year, the
OSHIIP program helped more than 160,000
Medicare-eligible Ohioans save a record $16.4
million!
Whether you are already enrolled in
Medicare or about to become eligible, OSHIIP
offers consumer-friendly written information,
and its staff can answer your questions about
topics such as:
Medicare health coverage for older adults
age 65+ and for younger adults who are
Medicare-eligible because of disabilities;
Medicare prescription drug plans;
Medicare Advantage plans (HMOs and
PPOs);
Medicare supplemental insurance;
Financial assistance programs for individ-
uals with a limited income; and
Long-term care insurance.
Getting information and assistance from
OSHIIP is easy. Call 1-800-686-1578 or visit
the OSHIIP website at
www.insurance.ohio.gov. If you have Internet
access, you can attend one of OSHIIPs
Welcome to Medicare webinars online
throughout the year. Visit the OSHIIP website
for the dates and times of these webinars.
If you do not have Internet access, you can
attend one of the many Welcome to
Medicare in-person sessions around the state
beginning in April. Call OSHIIP to learn more
about these sessions so that you can attend one
close to you.
When you, as an older Ohioan, fully under-
stand your Medicare benefits and options, you
can get the most out of your coverage.
Nominate a senior
citizen to Hall of Fame
COLUMBUS The
Ohio Department of
Aging is accepting nomi-
nations for outstanding
individuals to be inducted
into the 2014 Ohio Senior
Citizens Hall of Fame.

zations interested in nom-
inating a neighbor, col-
league, family member or
friend may visit
www.aging.ohio.gov/new
s/halloffame/ for more
information, to submit a
nomination or download
the nomination form.
So many of our older
Ohioans, our Golden
Buckeyes, are defined not
by their age, but by the
good work they have
done and continue to do,
said Bonnie K. Burman,
Sc.D., director of the
department.
The Ohio Senior
Citizens Hall of Fame
honors the vital roles our
elders play in their com-
munities, across the state
and nationwide, while it
promotes the benefits of
active, productive and
purposeful living at all
points in our lives.
Nominees for the Ohio
Senior Citizens Hall of
Fame must be age 60 or
older and be native-born
Ohioans or residents of
the state for at least 10
years. Posthumous nomi-
nations will be accepted.
The nominee (or a repre-
sentative of the nominee if
he or she is unable) must
consent to the nomination.
Nominees will be evalu-
ated on the impact of their
current contributions, or a
continuation of contribu-
tions begun before age 60,
in areas of endeavor
including, but not limited
to:
Arts/Literature
Business/Technology
Education
Health/Fitness
Community Activism
Science/Medicine
Induction is held each
May. Those selected will
join more than 350 older
Ohioans inducted into the
hall since its inception in

A Billy Goat cheezborger
and professional hockey
I cant begin to spell it how
they pronounce it, but I sure
could use another one about
now.
The cheeseburger at Billy
Goats Tavern near the United
Center in Chicago, late one
afternoon last week, was so
tasty that I officially placed it
on my bucket list and then
quickly removed it again.
Actually, the double burger
is supposed to be the spe-
cialty. It is served on a unique
homemade bun so delicious
that it just had to be healthy
whether it is or not. One of
the specialties of the eatery is
a fixings made up of pickle
chips, shredded and sliced
onions and various sauces
and ketchup to build up the
sandwich.
For my son, Jason, and I,
we went with our own well-
known Powers Hamburger
style from Fort Wayne, also
known to many as the White
Castle style, built with
onions, ketchup and then
more onions.
Top off the health-driven
meal with thick fries and a
Coke and it was fit to look at
all of the wall photos of
Chicago Blackhawk and
Bulls stars, complete with
celebrities and other famous
people who had been part of
the Chicago small corner caf
atmosphere.
The occasion was the cele-
bration of one of my birth-
days. Jason had told me
several months ago that he
had a buddy with Blackhawk
season tickets; he was able to
secure them for last Tuesday
evening.
It was my first-ever profes-
sional hockey game. The
music and atmosphere that
broke loose as we stood by the
glass when the Hawks came on
to the ice was totally worth the
half hour wait in the cold
Chicago wind as we waited to
get into the famed Big
House. In fact, the wait pro-
duced new friends such as the
young couple from the suburbs
we visited with and the family
from Rockford who were
bringing their son to his first
hockey game.
Our seats were located near
the top, a great place to see the
plays open as the teams moved
up and down the ice with light-
ning speed.
Within seconds, Jason and I,
both a bit sociable, met the
couple beside us who had been
married five years and came
from near the Wisconsin bor-
der.
The first Blackhawk goal
produced high fives and lively
conversation between us that
lasted the entire evening, living
proof of the common bond be-
tween hockey lovers regardless
of background or geography.
Several things stood out to
me, a hockey fan who had only
seen Fort Wayne Komet games
until now, the lightning speed,
the crisp passing, the patterned
offense and the overwhelming
atmosphere of a crowd of
21,000 in an arena that was
alive with theatrical ice clean-
ers, state-of-the-art light shows
and invigorating music of all
varieties.
Coming and going, there
was wonderful father and son
camaraderie, a bond that has
been passed down from that of
my father and me to my son
and me (now the old guy).
Oh yeah, about the birthday.
Some who dont know might
wonder what the actual date
of celebration is. If you dont
know, that will remain a se-
cret except for one clue, You
would be a fool if you cant
figure it out.

In The
Garden
Stop killing the trees!
As the ground is thawing
out from The Winter That
Would Not End, even those
of us that may dread the com-
ing busyness of the spring
season are chomping at the
bit to get out there and do
something. Anything.
One of the many things that
spring is good for is planting
trees. Fall can be a good time
too and many will debate
which is the best time, but as
with perennials, I prefer
spring. This allows the plant
plenty of time to become es-
tablished before winter.
No matter when you plant
a tree, there are some things
to remember. And as I go
about my business, I see one
huge mistake being made
over and over again that costs
many a tree its life - the
mulch volcano.
When applying mulch
around the tree after planting
- or later, for that matter -
dont pile the mulch high up
around the trunk. You might
think it looks good that way
or that youre insulating the
tree better by doing this, but
it can cause the tree to die a
slow death.
Tree roots need oxygen and
overmulching with organic
materials like shredded hard-
wood can decrease the oxy-
gen supply. Not only that,
deep mulch can facilitate
harmful bacterial growth
rather than decomposition.
Putting a fresh layer of mulch
over an older layer can slow
down the decomposition of
the older mulch.
Overmulching can also
cause the tree to form shallow
roots at the surface, some-
times even into the thick layer
of mulch as they try to find
oxygen. That kind of defeats
the purpose of insulating
them during periods of ex-
treme weather.
Insects and small rodents
love taking up residence in a
too-thick layer of mulch. If
the mulch is piled right up
against the bark, they can do
damage to the outer layer of
the tree, just under the bark,
where the nutrients travel.
One of the purposes of
mulch is to help the ground
around the tree hold moisture
during times of drought. But
when it gets wet, it holds
moisture itself, and too much
moisture right against the
bark of the tree can cause rot-
ting.
When planting a tree, make
sure you can see where the
roots begin to flare when its
been backfilled and watered
in. To allow for settling, its
best to plant the tree a little
high. You can always add
soil around the base if you
need to, once its all said and
done.
Then apply mulch at an
even depth of 2-4 inches, out
to about two-to-three feet
around the trunk. Make sure
theres no mulch laying right
up against the tree itself. NO
MULCH VOLCANOES!
We dont use mulch just
used for aesthetic reasons; it
serves multiple good pur-
poses: retaining moisture in
the soil, moderating the soil
temperature during times of
extreme weather, and pre-
venting weeds and grass from
competing for nutrients and
water.
It can take several years for
overmulching to kill a tree, but
its a death that doesnt have to
happen in the first place.
