The local squad had a chance to do further damage in the third but couldnt come
up with the big hit.
Brenda Feasby and Stabler posted consecutive singles before Bergman reached
on a fielders choice that forced out
Feasby. Following an illegal pitch to move
runners to second and third, Lakota pitcher Morgan Gangwer got Wright to pop out
to shortstop Alaina Bickford before
Baumle grounded out to end the inning.
Weve done that at times this year
where we just havent come up with that
key hit, stated the Raider head coach.
That is something we have to do a better
job of.

FINDLAY It was a battle of the
Raiders in the Division IV softball regional championship at Findlay.
Thanks to a pair of first inning RBI singles, it was the Wayne Trace Raiders who
earned their berth in the state semifinals
with a 2-1 win over Lakota at Marathon
Fields.
Wayne Trace, who is now 22-7, advances to take on Cuyahoga Heights (203) in Fridays first semifinal with a 10 a.m.
start at Firestone Stadium in Akron. The
Redskins defeated Berlin Center Western
Reserve 2-0 in their regional championship matchup.
Its a great feeling, noted Raider head
coach Jack Baumle. These girls have
worked so hard and to see all of that hard
work be rewarded is great.

With small-town roots, George Carter gets involved the right way
By JOE SHOUSE
Progress Staff Writer
PAULDING Every small town
enjoys a parade and Paulding is no exception. For a few minutes the towns
folk come together on an early summer evening to enjoy the best
Paulding has to offer as they march
down the street. Using John Paulding
Days as the backdrop, the towns folk
find their favorite location along one
of the tree-lined streets and with a
sense of pride they watch and listen as
various parts of their community ceremoniously march by.
With the parade theme of Music
Through the Ages this years parade
is scheduled to step off at 7 p.m. on
Thursday evening. More than 100
units will meander their way through
the parade route. Grand marshal for
the annual parade is George Carter,
chief executive officer of PauldingPutnam Electric Cooperative. Carter,
his wife Debra and their family moved

Bergman recorded back-to-back singles to

left. Carley Wright followed with another
single to left field that scored Stabler before Addison Baumle added another RBI
single that plated Bergman.
I thought once we hit the ball the way
we did in the first that we might just take
off from there, continued the Raider
mentor. But it didnt work out that way.
Thankfully it worked out for us though.
Although Wayne Trace left both Wright
and Baumle on base, it would be enough
to hold on from there.
Baumle had shut down the Raiders of
Lakota in the first inning in order but it
would be the only time on the day. In the
second, Destiny Long-Myer had a single
with two outs before Baumle struck out
second baseman Aspen Ray for the third
out.
In the third, Nikkia Cooper drew a twoout walk but the Raider hurler again escaped further damage by striking out Bree
Long-Meyer for the third out.

Wherever George and his family
have lived, they have always taken an
active role in their community. And
because he has demonstrated his small
town beliefs through his leadership,
community spirit and enthusiasm, the
Paulding County Chamber of
Commerce named George as its 2014
grand marshal.
The bottom line is simple. We
moved here and adopted the place and
we are happy to be here and to call
Paulding home. Its a huge honor to be
recognized, but honestly, I do the
things I do to help better the community and not for recognition, Carter
said.
Carter and his wife Debra have been
married for 31 years and they have
three adult children. While George has
served in the electric industry for 26
years, his wife is an educator and currently teaches second grade at

Relay For Life total

exceeds $91,000
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
As of Monday morning,
$91,199.82 had come in to the
Paulding County Relay For
Life as a result of teamwork
and this weekends annual
Relay overnight at the Paulding County Fairgrounds.
That amount is still waiting
for additional funding to come
from at least two major events
that had to be rescheduled because of bad weather, plus
pending gifts still coming to
the fund.
As a result, the local relay
crossed the $1 million mark in
money raised over the past 20
years. As of Monday morning,
Paulding County had raised
$1,037,309.82 toward the
local cancer cause.
Of that amount, Crew 4 A
Cure earned sapphire level status by raising $15,050 and
Paulding Exempted Village
Schools brought in $11,595 to
acquire jade level status. In addition, teams raised $4,990
through online donations.
Other donations above the
$5,000
level
included
Marathon Moms, $7,544,
Woodbridge Campers for a
Cure, $8,778, Country Inn,
$5,006 and Wayne Trace
Local Schools, $6,103.

County
Board meeting
to include forum
HAVILAND The
Wayne Trace Local Schools
Board of Education meeting
scheduled for Monday, June
9 will begin at 7 p.m. for
the purpose of allowing a
30-minute open forum to
allow parents an opportunity to come and express their
opinion concerning a proposed drug testing program.
One girl, Aniyah Sajuan,

who will be a second grader in
Paulding Elementary, has
taken cancer to heart. She
walked 40 laps, accounting for
six miles, in honor of her
grandfather, Dennis Boatright,
who had passed away from
cancer.
I like to walk, said Sajuan.
I know that there is a real
need. My babysitter, Mary,
had cancer. Its really nice of
everyone to do this.
Committee member Jillene
McMichael, who also served
as announcer for the evening,
said that she was moved because of the number of new
teams and individuals involved this year. One of those
was the Neer Family, who
kept a running record of the
laps accumulated by their family members.
Linda Neer said her family
walked last year in the
Delphos Relay in respect for
her husband, Terry, who was
diagnosed with cancer two and
a half years ago.
When we walked at
Delphos, someone said, Why
dont we do that in Paulding,
said Neer. This has been very
good for our family. We
walked together; it has been
good to see the family come
together for something like
this.
She noted that family members gathered for a steak dinner at the VFW in Paulding
prior to the event. In the end,
the family team had raised
$2,500 toward the final total.
The biggest thing is support for my dad, commented
Pam Rosswurm, daughter of
Terry and Linda Neer. It

brought us together as a family. It is nice to see how the
whole community comes together for this.
As always, one of the most
moving times of the entire
event was the luminary service. As musicians sang You
Lift Me Up, hundreds
strolled the track in the light of
candles remembering and
honoring loved ones who have
had to deal with the dreaded
disease.
People are gathered here
tonight to remember, celebrate
and support one another, said
Pastor Karen Stentin. Each
life has been touched in some
way by cancer. But we can
only hope that God will give
us a cure for this. We must
hold on to hope always that
there will be a cure someday.
It was another fantastic
weekend and thank you
doesnt even begin to cover
it, said McMichael. Thank
you to my amazing friends and
family who show up every
year to support Relay For Life,
and to support me. With all of
the texts, donations, time, outside help, staying up all night
and unexpected visitors, Im
completely blessed by you all.
Thank you to the Relay
committee for all of the hard
work and dedication. You give
so much of yourselves, continued McMichael. Im inspired and impressed by each
of you. Thank you to the
teams, the volunteers and the
community for doing what
you do; over a million dollars
in 20 years, we have a lot to be
proud of.

This year marked the 20th year for Paulding Countys Relay For Life involvement. Preliminary
count shows over $91,000 was raised this year, with final numbers to be tallied later. Walkers
enjoyed beautiful weather for the event, which began Friday evening and lasted through
Saturday at the Paulding County Fairgrounds.
In the first inning, the Lady Raiders scored two runs to take
an early lead over Lakota. Bailey Bergman crosses home plate
to give the Raiders an early advantage in their one-run win over
the Lakota Raiders, 2-1.
bunt by Samantha Miller

moved Ray to second but
Lakota was down to its final
out.
Cooper then ripped a double
to left that scored Ray and got
Lakota within 2-1.
Baumle, though, ended any
doubt as she got Bree LongMeyer to pop out to Stabler at
first base, igniting a Wayne
Trace celebration both on and
off the field.
The Raider junior hurler finished the day with 10 strikeouts while allowing one walk
and five hits. Lakotas run was
also the first earned run allowed by Wayne Trace in tournament play this year, ending a
streak of 34-2/3 innings.
It definitely wasnt Addies
best day, Baumle said. But
she battled through it and we
were able to make enough defensive plays. She was getting
tired there at the end and her
location wasnt as good as normal.
Wayne Trace again got
some strong play by the Raider
outfield down the stretch, including a key catch by Sydney
Critten in right field to thwart a
Lakota scoring chance.
Sydney made a big catch
there, commented the elder
Baumle. She changed directions and had to come back
and get the ball but she was
able to make the play and it
was a big one.
Gangwer was the tough luck
loser, scattering seven hits
while giving up two earned
runs. Gangwer also fanned
three on the afternoon.
Cooper had a single and
double while Alaina Bickford
added a single. Destiney LongMyer and Ray also had singles
for Lakota, which closes its
season at 20-8.
Feasby and Stabler both
had two singles to lead the
Raider
offense
while
Bergman, Baumle and Wright
all posted a single as well.

Defiance, was traveling southbound on County Road 143. A
2010 Chevrolet Equinox driven by Gary Lipp, age 66,
Paulding, was eastbound on
24.
Troopers said Bok failed to
yield the right of way while
crossing 24 and pulled into the
path of Lipps vehicle, at
which time Boks pickup was
struck on the right side.
Both vehicles continued to
the south side of U.S. 24 before coming to final rest.
Lipp sustained serious injuries as a result of the traffic
crash and was transported by
Samaritan
to
Parkview
Hospital, Fort Wayne.
Lipps front seat passenger,

Our family have always
served the community where
we live. My parents were involved and I guess while
growing up I learned it from
them, Carter said.
Both George and Debra
grew up in small Michigan
communities and their married life has also been spent
living in small towns in
Michigan and West Virginia,
much like Paulding.
I really believe those who
can help should. Being a
volunteer in the town you live
is a great asset to any community. When you think about it,
this is home, and everyone of
us should do what we can to
make home the best place
there is, remarked Carter.
While being committed to
serving his community, Carter
has used his leadership skills

to bring strength to many organizations in Paulding.
Currently he serves as president of the Paulding County
United Way and was its campaign chairman for the 2010
campaign. Carter serves on
several corporate boards of directors and is currently serving on the board of the State
Bank.
Any small town needs volunteers. If I had the opportunity to tell people what they
could do to help make their
town a better place to live I
would simply say get involved, concluded Carter.

The sun is shining this afternoon. We had a thunderstorm early this morning. The
rain kept us out of the garden
today. Last night, Joe and the
children helped get more garden planted. We didnt get
finished yet so hopefully itll
dry up soon. Our soil is very
sandy and dries fast so that
helps.
We now have planted
onions, radishes, lettuce,
peas, potatoes, red beets,
green beans, cucumbers,
corn, sweet peppers, tomatoes, cabbage, banana and hot
peppers. Need to plant more
corn, watermelon, zucchini
and more potatoes yet. So far
we have potatoes, peas,
radishes, onions, lettuce and
corn coming up. Everything
is late this year.
The boys were mowing our
grass for the second time this
year. Usually it would have
had to be mowed a lot sooner.
Daughter Lovina had a
very happy 10th birthday on
Sunday. We attended church
during the day. In the evening
we went to Jacob and
Emmas house for fried and
grilled mushrooms. They had
an abundance of mushrooms.
Also on the menu was grilled
ham, asparagus casserole,
sliced tomatoes, cheese, watermelon, chocolate cake and

ice cream.
Tomorrow, May 22, I will
turn another year older. 43
years. Sounds old and makes
you dread to see your age get
higher up there.
Jacob, Emma, and family
and sisters Verena and Susan
and our daughters friends
Timothy and Mose will come
tomorrow evening in honor
of my birthday.
School doors will be closing soon, two more weeks left
after this week.
Next week will only be
three days of school for our
children as of Memorial Day
and Ascension Day (Thursday, May 29).
Son Benjamins eighth
grade graduation will be on
June 4. He will be finished
with his school years this
term. Daughter Loretta will
only have one more year of
schooling.
Our ramp is now finished
and Loretta sure is glad to not
have to take steps to get into
the house. It will also be nice
for the older people when we
host church services.
Daughter Elizabeth and
Susan are on four day work
weeks now for awhile. I enjoy
having them home on Fridays.

They have some dresses they
need to get sewed for parts in
upcoming weddings. This will
give them more time to get
them done. Sunday afternoon
we stopped in at Timothys
house to see all his horses and
baby foals. They look so lively
out in the field.
While we were there we also
visited with his next door
neighbor, Janice. She was out
in the yard in a wheel chair.
She has had some health complications. It was nice to get to
visit with her again.

Changes with Payne EMS

as Garmyn keeps job
By JOE SHOUSE
Progress Staff Writer
PAYNE Paynes EMS coordinator, Joe Garmyn, answered to the Payne Village
Council in executive session on
Tuesday night, May 26 after
Mayor Terry Smith recommended he be released from
his leadership position and demoted to that of an EMT.
For several months, according to Mayor Terry Smith,
Garmyn has not performed satisfactorily in submitting necessary paper work for billing.
Garmyn, who has been the
EMS coordinator since January, is at least three months behind on billing, Smith said.
It was also pointed out that
Garmyn received a new billing
computer program at his request to make his job easier.
We were informed by
Garmyn that the way we were
doing our EMS billing was incorrect and that he is to do the
billing due to the HIPPA regulations, said Smith.
He went on to say, Its been
in Garmyns hands and so far
only 12 run sheets have been
processed this year.
Following the executive session meeting, Garmyn expressed to council that he is
behind because he needs help
to process the run sheets in
order to pass them on to MBI,
the villages third party billing
agent. He told council that due
to the HIPPA laws, only certain
people can have access to certain in formation.
Council passed a motion to
keep Garmyn as EMS coordinator; however, additional
changes will take place within
the department.
A second motion passed promoting Amber Scheurman to
EMS captain. Scheurman will
assist Garmyn with completing
paperwork in a timely manner.
Once completed, the reports
OFFICE & DISPLAY

14793 Road 138
Paulding, OH 45879
(Charloe Trail)
will be sent Christa Gonzales,

who will process them on to
MBI for payment.
This is the way we used to
do it and when Garmyn came
on board he told us we were
doing it all wrong. Now we are
back to the old way, which
seems to work best, said
Mayor Smith.
In the near future, council
will be meeting with Garmyn
to work through a new job description that will allow both
the EMS coordinator and the
village to have better communication and to work through
any future issues in a timely
manner.
Joe (Garmyn) was having
problems with the paperwork
and hopefully he has the
needed support and help to get
the job done. He is an excellent
EMT and his performance as
an EMT out in the field has always been professional, concluded Smith.
Geoff Hyman from Antwerp
Exchange Bank and Brian Martin, owner of Puckerbrush
Pizzeria, were present to offer
their approval of the alley located between their two business. Once the new bank opens,
the alley will be one-way south
only. It is also anticipated that
once bank customers leave the
drive-through area, there will be
a right turn only onto Ohio 49.

and all they do giving back to
the community!
My children learn so much
and love going to the library.
They both attend different
classes there such as story
time, book club, cooking
class, movie nights and that is
just to name a few. Might I
add all for FREE to the community.
Teaching our children to
love reading is very important
and a tool they will use for the
rest of their lifetimes. We
need to invest in programs
that invest in our children and
the community and that is exactly what the library does!
The best way to do this is to
pass the library levy. So I ask
you all to stand with me and
vote yes this November!

fort. We have support teams

in place that help individuals
with the entire job process.
Individuals begin with learning how to complete a resume and fill out an
application. They then practice interview skills and are
sent in the community to
begin looking for a job. The
individuals team will also
look for jobs that fit the interest areas of the individual
as well as the skill set the individual possesses.
Once a job has been located, a team member will
help with the interview
process and any other needs
that the individual may have.
After an individual is hired,
a job coach will work with
the individual to ensure that
they understand the job they
are to be doing. When the
job coach and employer both
feel that job coaching is no
longer necessary other team
members will start what is
called Follow Along Services. Follow Along Services are in place to ensure no
problems arise while the individual works without a job
coach.
Follow Along services
will continue for an individual for as long as the individual and employer feel
they are necessary.

Guest Column
Why immunize?
By Bill Edwards, BS RS
Paulding County Health Department
Why immunize our children? Sometimes we are confused
by the messages in the media. First we are assured that,
thanks to vaccines, some diseases are almost gone from the
U.S. But we are also warned to immunize our children, ourselves as adults, and the elderly.
Diseases are becoming
rare due to vaccinations.
Guest
Its true, some diseases (like
Column
polio and diphtheria) are becoming very rare in the U.S.
Of course, they are becoming
rare largely because we have
been vaccinating against
Bill Edwards
them. But it is still reasonable to ask whether its really worthwhile to keep vaccinating.
Its much like bailing out a boat with a slow leak. When
we started bailing, the boat was filled with water. But we
have been bailing fast and hard, and now it is almost dry. We
could say, Good. The boat is dry now, so we can throw
away the bucket and relax. But the leak hasnt stopped. Before long wed notice a little water seeping in, and soon it
might be back up to the same level as when we started.
Keep immunizing until disease is eliminated. Unless we
can stop the leak (eliminate the disease), it is important to
keep immunizing. Even if there are only a few cases of disease today, if we take away the protection given by vaccination, more and more people will be infected and will spread
disease to others. Soon we will undo the progress we have
made over the years.
Japan reduced pertussis vaccinations, and an epidemic
occurred. In 1974, Japan had a successful pertussis (whooping cough) vaccination program, with nearly 80% of Japanese children vaccinated. That year only 393 cases of pertussis
were reported in the entire country, and there were no deaths
from pertussis. But then rumors began to spread that pertussis vaccination was no longer needed and that the vaccine
was not safe, and by 1976 only 10 percent of infants were
getting vaccinated. In 1979 Japan suffered a major pertussis
epidemic, with more than 13,000 cases of whooping cough
and 41 deaths. In 1981 the government began vaccinating
with a cellular pertussis vaccine, and the number of pertussis
cases dropped again.
What if we stopped vaccinating? So what would happen
if we stopped vaccinating here? Diseases that are almost unknown would stage a comeback. Before long we would see
epidemics of diseases that are nearly under control today.
More children would get sick and more would die.
We vaccinate to protect our future. We dont vaccinate
just to protect our children. We also vaccinate to protect our
grandchildren and their grandchildren. With one disease,
smallpox, we stopped the leak in the boat by eradicating
the disease. Our children dont have to get smallpox shots
any more because the disease no longer exists. If we keep
vaccinating now, parents in the future may be able to trust
that diseases like polio and meningitis wont infect, cripple,
or kill children. Vaccinations are one of the best ways to put
an end to the serious effects of certain diseases.

The truth about some

of those gardening myths
Gardening hasnt been left
out when it comes to old
wives tales. While much advice that we get from our parents and grandparents is
invaluable and has been
passed down with love, it can
be disappointing to find out
that some of it just isnt true.
We replaced a tree last
week and the main trunk of
the new weeping European
beech seemed to need some
support. Its a young tree and
the trunk is quite flexible. It
can be very windy this time
of year so we staked it with a
bamboo pole to help stabilize
it.
Next spring well take the
bamboo pole away. Keeping
a young tree staked for more
than the first season isnt
doing it any favors. If you
leave the support in place too
long, the tree wont develop a
strong root system to help stabilize it so that it can deal
with those winds later. Its
also been shown that young
trees bending in the wind
serves to make them stronger.
Besides, who likes seeing a
tree tied to a stake any longer
than necessary?
The peonies are blooming
and no doubt youve noticed
ants on them, even before the
buds opened up. Some people
will tell you that the ants are
needed to help those buds
open. Dont believe them!
Peonies exude nectar, even in
the bud stage, and the ants
just want a sweet snack. Ants
or no ants, your peonies will
bad to have saturated soil, how

much better are pebbles covered by water? Either way,
your plants wont get the oxygen they need to thrive.
The best way to deal with
drainage is to either make sure
theres a hole in the bottom of
the container to allow extra
water to escape, or use the
hole-less container like a cache
pot. Pot up the plant in a plastic
container with drainage holes
and sit that container down into
the pot with no holes. You can
top dress with Spanish moss to
hide any space between the
two containers.
When it comes time for watering, remove the planted container from the cache pot, take
it to the sink, water it, and put
it back into the cache pot when
it stops dripping. If you dont
want to do that, then plant the
container using all potting mix
and be mindful to not over
water. Nix the pebbles.
It can be so hard to give up
beliefs that weve held near
and dear for so many years, yet
when presented with evidence
to the contrary, we dig our
heels in and hang on, especially
if they seem to work for us. Do
what youre comfortable with,
but just know that it could be
wasted effort and may even be
causing additional problems.

bloom.
Do you plant marigolds
near your veggies to repel insects? I hate to be the one to
break it to you, but the only
pests the marigolds might
prevent are a specific nematode in the soil and its one
thats much more prevalent in
the south. Dwarf French
marigold roots give off a substance that repels those nematodes.
Dont think that the fragrance emitted by the
marigolds will deter other
garden pests like rabbits and
deer either. In fact, marigolds
are one of the deers favorite
things. But if you plant them,
your vegetable beds will look
extra pretty.
The next one that Ive been
guilty of doing in the past is to
put gravel in the bottom of a
container to aid drainage. This
is especially bad for pots with
no drainage holes. If theres
any excess water, it doesnt
have anywhere to go but to sit
on the bottom of the pot. If its

A Penny For
Your Thoughts....
By: Nancy Whitaker
STORIES BEHIND THE WALLS

One thing I notice while
traveling or riding in a car are
houses. I see old houses, new
houses, big houses and little
houses. I gaze out the window at brick, stucco and
wooden homes. Now being
like I am, I always wonder
who lives there, are they
happy, do they have children,
and just what type of stories
can the walls in that house
tell?
Most of our homes hold
happy, sad, funny memories
of those who may have lived
there at one time. The house I
live in is over 100 years old.
I have heard many stories
about it and have seen it in
old town photographs. I hear
at one time it was a doctors
office and dwelling. It is rumored that the notorious gunslinger, Marvin Kuhns, who
was shot and later died, was
treated right here in this room
I am now sitting in. I often
think back and wonder exactly how the doctor treated
that outlaw, but it has been rumored that he was beyond
help before getting to the doctors office.
With this house being 13 or
more rooms with a big upstairs, it has been said that at

one time, it was also a rooming house. I can just imagine
the tenants coming home
from a long day at work and
having to use the outhouse as
there was not a bathroom in
here at the time.
I bet they washed up out of an
old wash pan. Oh, if these
walls could talk.
Another story is told of
wakes being held here with the
caskets being placed right in
front of my dining room window. Years ago, dead bodies
were on display in the homes
and I bet this old house has
seen more than one.
Now, I have been asked if I
have ever encountered a
ghost floating around the
yards and stairways. I dont
think I have ever met a ghost,
but late at night, I have heard
thumps and rattlings coming
from the attic. Now I dont
think I would be afraid of a
nice ghost, but I have seen
and captured many a mouse
in this home. I have been
scared out of my wits and refused to get out of bed until
the creatures were out of
here. I have jumped on tables
and even left home for about

an hour when I saw a mouse.
I suppose if these walls
could talk, they could tell of
all kinds of wild creatures
roaming the streets in the
early days. We still see raccoons, possums and ground
hogs roaming around.
Yes, this old house can tell
of children graduating, getting married, Christmas parties, barbecues, arguments(?)
(of course), vacations, illnesses and stories that will always be etched in my
memory. However, only this
house will be around and will
keep the secrets within its
walls.
I have lived in different houses
during my life and each one
can tell a different story. That is
why when I view various
houses, I wonder what kind of
secrets the walls know. I wonder if there is a happy family
living there and about all the
good memories those walls are
listening to.
Does your home hold memories? Have you ever seen a
ghost in your house (or a
mouse)? Let me know and Ill
give you a Penny for Your
Thoughts.

Paulding resident Jacque
Gonzales will never forget
her full involvement with the
Paulding County Relay For
Life. It was in the summer of
1993 in honor of her younger
sister, Jennifer Jo Bissell,
who passed away in June of
1992 after a three year battle
with a deadly form of cancer.
It was devastating to my
parents, my brother and me,
said Gonzales. It was awful.
Originally she was given six
months to live, but she battled
for three years.
Gonzales was in the fifth
grade when her three-year-old
sister was diagnosed with the
horrible illness. She credited
her entire family unit, including extended family members,
for helping her parents and her
brother and her through such a
difficult time.
My parents (Jim and Patti
Bissell) went all over the country trying to save her, recalled
Gonzales. Thankfully, we had
such a strong family unit. My
brother and I stayed with aunts
and uncles. There were so
many surgeries in an attempt to
battle the cancer.
It was at the end of May in
1992 when Happy the Hobo
came to kindergarten, recalled
Gonzales. It was specifically
because they wanted to have a
big graduation party with my
sister in mind. It appeared at
one point to go into remission.
I was amazed at how fast it
came back.
I dont know how my parents ever got through it, continued Gonzales. Im married
and have a family. I cant imagine ever losing one of my children.
Gonzales and her husband,
Sam, have two children, both
active in Paulding Schools.
Treston will be a senior next
fall and active in sports while
Adriana, who will be in the
eighth grade, is active in areas
boosting school spirit.
For the past 20 years, Gonzales has been active in Relay
activities in the community and
onsite. This year she spent Friday night and Saturday morning participating in the annual

event while finding herself involved in another commitment

on Saturday afternoon.
She admitted late Saturday
morning that she was a bit tired
but said determinedly that she
would continue to be involved
with the Relay until she couldnt possibly do it anymore.
We are all here for some
reason, said Gonzales. I will
do this until I cant do it anymore. One night a year, I really
look forward to this. I can do
something to save lives and be
there for people.
Gonzales noted that her sisters illness not only has given
her an intense commitment to
helping with cancer benefits, it
literally changed her life and
her career path. Prior to Jennifer Jos illness, she had her
mind set on being an accountant.

Poison ivy: An itchy situation
By Mark Holtsberry
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
I never know who truly reads these articles.
Apparently my youngest daughter does. She
asked me to write an article on poison ivy. She
is the child I nicknamed bug and to this day
she still carries that same name. She has always
been the child who gets sunburn, bites, and even
rashes. So, Lauren, this article is for you.
Most people would not know that toxicodendron radicans, is commonly known as poison
ivy. This North American plant is well known
for its production of urushiol, a clear liquid compound found within the sap of the plant that
causes an itching irritation and sometimes
painful rash in most people who touch it. The
plant is not a true ivy. Poison ivy can be found
growing in any of the following forms, as a trailing vine, as a shrub, as a climbing vine that

It is normally found in wooded areas, especially along edge areas where the tree line
breaks and allows sunshine to filter through. It
also grows in exposed rocky areas and in open
fields and disturbed areas. It grows in a wide variety of soil types, and soil pH from 6.0 acidic to
7.9 moderate alkaline. It is not particularly senBrooklyn Schlatter, age 7

exposure to urushiol. Over 350,000 people are

affected by poison ivy annually in the U.S. Overthe-counter products to ease itching can be used,
but you can use oatmeal baths and baking soda.
These are now recommended by dermatologists
for the treatment of poison ivy. Also, most people
prefer just getting a shot at the doctors office.
If poison ivy is burned and the smoke then inhaled, this rash will appear on the lining of the
lungs, causing extreme pain, and possibly fatal
respiratory difficulty. A poison ivy rash usually
develops within a week of exposure and can last
anywhere from one to four weeks, depending on
severity and treatment. In rare cases poison ivy
reactions may require hospitalization.
You can apply rubbing alcohol to your skin to
dissolve the poison ivy, or poison oak pills, or an
over the counter cleanser like Tecnu or Zanfel.
Avoid scratching the rash and blisters. Even
though the rash is not contagious, you could
break the skin and allow bacteria to enter the
wound. Take a lukewarm bath, Use an oatmeal
bath product or an alumium acetate soak. Apply
topical creams or lotions. Calamine lotion or hydrocortisone cream can provide some relief from
itching. Make a paste consisting of three parts
baking soda to one part water. Apply the paste to
your rash to pull fluid out of the blisters.
Bleach is another possible solutions to use.
Pour 1/2 cup bleach into a bath tub full of lukewarm water and soak your body, or mix one teaspoon in a pint of water and apply it to a cloth to
make a compress. Just watch carefully to make
sure that the bleach doesnt harm your unaffected
skin.
Another option is to press a chilled watermelon rind against your rash. The rind acts as a
cold compress and the juice helps dry out blisters. Use gasoline as an absolute last resort, this
can help to dissolve oils from poison ivy or poison oak. Never go near an open flame if youve
applied gasoline to your rash.
This is why I try to mow and trim back weed
and overgrowth on trails as well as the park itself.
Have a wonderful walk at the nature center park
and trails.

to the red, white and blue connecting with a big two-out hit that
eluded the Blue Jackets.
Scoreless into the bottom of the
sixth, Swary led off with a single to
left field.
A sacrifice bunt by Emilie Linder
moved Swary to second before the
junior catcher advanced to third on
a deep fly to right field by Brenda
Feasby.
With a 2-2 count, Stabler then
came up with the hit of the night in
roping a double down the left field
line to plate Swary.
It was a senior who came up
with a clutch hit, noted Raider head
coach Jack Baumle. Libby had
swung at a pitch that was low there
before that but she came back and
battled before delivering that big
hit.
The Raiders tried to push the margin further as Bailey Bergman followed with a single to right but New
Riegels Lauren Zoeller was able to
shoot down Stabler at the plate.

The Blue Jackets would make
things interesting in the top of the
seventh.
Junior Kara Scherger opened the
inning with a single and stole second. Zoeller then reached on an infield single to put runners on first
and second with no outs.
However, junior Haley Theis tried
to put down a sacrifice bunt but
popped it up instead and Bergman
was able to record the out.
Sophomore Leah Bouillon hit a
line drive that was caught by Feasby
in center field for the second out but
the drama wasnt over.
Scherger and Zoeller executed a
double steal that would put runners
at second and third with two outs.
With senior pinch hitter Lauren
Ladd at the plate, Baumle threw a
ball on the first pitch before three
consecutive strikes sent the Raiders
to Saturdays regional championship.
We didnt throw a lot of fastballs

but we did mix it up location wise
and threw a lot of rise balls and
curve balls, noted the Raider mentor. I think we were able to keep
them off balance a little bit.
New Riegel came into the contest
on a roll, having won 13 straight
games while averaging ten runs a
game in that stretch. However, that
offense never was able to get into
any type of rhythm against Baumle
and the Raider defense.
They didnt make solid contact a
lot tonight, commented the elder
Baumle. When they did, our defense
stepped up and made plays. We knew
coming in we would have to play
good defense and we did tonight.
The Blue Jackets, who went down
in order four times on the night, did
threaten for the first time in the third.
With two outs, senior Morgan
Noftz reached on a bunt single before
senior Taylor Kirian reached on an
error to put runners at second and
third. However, junior Taylor Arbogast grounded out to Bergman at third

to end the inning.
Wayne Trace put runners in scoring
position for the first time in the fourth.
Feasby reached on a Blue Jacket
error to start the inning and moved to
second on a Stabler groundout.
Bergman moved Feasby to third with
another groundout before Kirian shut
the door by striking out Carley
Wright.
It was a classic high school softball game, continued the Raider
coach. Its too bad either team had to
lose because this was high school
softball at its best.
Baumle struck out eight in running
her streak of innings in tournament
play without an earned run allowed to
28. The junior hurler scattered three
hits and walked none.
Kirian, who will pitch at the University of Akron next season, struck
out two while allowing three hits
and no walks in six innings of work.

Cuyahoga Heights a challenge for Wayne Trace

By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
AKRON Four teams
making their first appearance
in the state softball tournament will meet in Akron on
Friday as the Division IV
state semifinals take place.
In the opener on Friday
morning, Cuyahoga Heights
(21-3) will take on Wayne
Trace (22-7) at 10 a.m. with
Minster (26-3) against Bainbridge Paint Valley (22-8)
following at 12:30 p.m.
Cuyahoga Heights is under
the direction of fourth year
head coach Christy Zawadzki, who came into the
season with high expectations.
We had seven starters
back from last year so we had
high hopes coming into the
year, noted Zawadzki. The
girls put high expectations on
themselves and they have
done a good job of putting in
the time and working hard to
achieve their goals.
The Lady Redskins of
Cuyahoga Heights bring a
roster that bats a combined
.294 entering the state tournament.
Leading the way for Cuyahoga Heights is junior third
baseman Lauren Goetz, who
tops the Cuyahoga Heights
roster with a .467 average and

has scored a team high 37
runs on the season for the
Redskins, who average 6.5
runs a contest. Goetz also has
five doubles, four triples and
a home run while driving in
14. The junior has posted 38
stolen bases as well out of 68
for the team. Goetz tops the
Redskins in on base percentage (.592) and slugging percentage (.680) as well.
Junior shortstop Jenna
Stegmaier hits .272 and is expected to bat second with 23
runs scored and 15 runs batted in on the season.
Stegmaier leads the Redskins
with seven stolen bases.
Stegmaier is second on the
team in stolen bases with
nine.
Sophomore center fielder
Dayna Denner will be the
cleanup hitter and is second
on the squad in average
(.425), on base percentage
(.511) and slugging percentage (.671) while topping the
Redskins in runs batted in
(35). Denner also has
recorded six doubles, three
triples and two home runs on
the year and scored 17 runs.
Catcher Alicia Falorio, a
junior, is hitting .338 and is
second on the team with 26
runs batted in while posting
five doubles, four triples and

Deed transferred
to Bargain Bin
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
Officers of the Bargain Bin met with Paulding County commissioners on Monday morning for the transfer of two lots of county
property to the local entity for the construction of a new facility.
The two lots, located behind the old jail, will be the location of
a new Bargain Bin. The possibility of a new building occurred
earlier this spring when officers of the Bargain Bin received an
anonymous gift of $80,000 designated toward the construction of
a new facility.
The deal was topped off a few days later when it was learned
that $5,000 had been donated through the Paulding County Area
Foundation for the acquisition of the two lots located at the corner
of Harrison and Cherry streets. That property belonged to the
county at the time.
We are excited that things worked out the way that they have,
said Commissioner Tony Zartman to the Bargain Bin officers on
Monday. Weve received a lot of good comments from the community about the process of moving ahead. We are very thankful
that you continue to donate your time to an organization like this.
Rhonda Smalley, who heads up the Bargain Bin board, thanked
the commissioners for their participation.
Thank you, commissioners, for giving us the opportunity to
do this, said Smalley. You didnt have to do that. It was so nice
of you. We know that this is going to help the Bargain Bin for
years to come.
Smalley said that some of the towns older citizens had told her
that they cant remember a time when there had been any type of

ment, and say thank you for all they have done over the years.
We have nothing but praise for all that you ladies do.
Smalley said that she knows that hospital personnel appreciate
the work of the Bargain Bin.
Lisa McClure, executive director of the Paulding County Area
Foundation, said that she was overjoyed, but not shocked, when
an anonymous donor stepped forward to help with purchasing the
lots.
We have a very generous county, said McClure. People step

the county in runs scored (20)
and tied for fourth in runs batted in (14).
Quentin was a leader by
example for us, continued

learned from him because he
showed them how the game
was supposed to be played. He
was an outstanding center
fielder for us.
Joining Vance on the First

He was not near the top when he
came around the corner, commented
Wayne Trace head coach Troy
Branch. He closed the race, though,

and is such a great kid, though, and
we are extremely happy for him.

Its pretty hard for a freshman to
qualify and Seth did in the hurdles on
top of that, which is rare, Branch
added. It will be a tremendous expe-
rience for him.

Hicksvilles Damon Walters won
the race with a time of 38.84 while
Tiffin Calverts Ren Boehler (40.07)
was second and Ashland Crestviews
Nick Hout (40.20) took fourth. The
trio will also move on to the state meet
on Friday.
Senior Arlen Stoller also will represent the red, white and blue in the
state meet on Saturday at 10:05 a.m.
after posting a fourth place finish in
the 1600 run with a time of 4:28.56.
Arlen ran a real nice race, continued the Raider mentor. We had
talked coming in that we just wanted
to make sure we got at least a fourth
place finish and we were pretty content with that.
Stoller stayed with the front pack

according to Branch and eventually
the quartet pulled away to clinch their
state berths. Colonel Crawfords Clay
Martin won the event (4:24.29) followed by Antwerps Sam Williamson
(4:24.31), Pettisvilles Kyle Lantz
(4:27.49) and Stoller.
We had talked before the race that
we just wanted to make sure we qualified for the state meet and, if we had
a chance, to conserve some energy for
the two mile if possible, Ehrhart
added. He was leading the race and
didnt hear the other runner coming
but we are very pleased with being
able to qualify in both races.
He is an amazing kid and he just
never loses his composure, Branch
added. He keeps going and trying

and works so hard at what he does. He
has had a great year and has been able
to stay healthy this year.
Antwerp sophomore Audrie Longardner also is advancing to the state
meet following a time of 59.20 that
placed her fourth in the 400 dash. Gibsonburgs Colleen Reynolds took first
in 58.08 followed by Toledo Christians Micah Johnston (58.48),
Riverdales Sarah Hunter (58.68) and
Longardner. Longardner will take part
in her preliminary races at 11 a.m. on
Friday.
I was very happy for Audrie and
that she qualified for the second
straight year for state, noted the
Archer mentor. She tied the school
Panther track
wraps up season
record and also put up a personal best

so she ran very well.
The only other Wayne Trace athlete
to place in the regional meet was junior Shayna Temple, who finished
sixth in the girls high jump after a leap
of 4-10.
Wayne Traces 3200 relay team of
Arlen Stoller, Cole Shepherd, Seth
Saylor and Brandon Zartman took
ninth place with a time of 8:36.27.
The red, white and blues David Sinn
took ninth in the high jump after clearing 6-0.
Antwerp placed eighth in the girls
3200 relay as the quartet of Audrie
Longardner, Jamie Ryan, Mackenzie
Hart and Bailee Sigman posted a time
of 10:15.99.
Stoller takes GMC honor

@ Your Library
Susan Hill Pieper, Library Director
We received word about the tragic loss of a dear patron. And,

it saddens us to the core. This gentleman has been a library
user for decades. He was a man who when he came into the library he had a twinkle in his eye and a smile on his face. His
orneriness was endearing. Our day was always a bit brighter
having him visit. He was a voracious reader, and in every book
he read, he left his mark the initial K. It was easy to find
him books he had not read, just look for the K.
Over the years, the worst thing that can happen to a reader
happened to Karl. He was going blind. And although it seemed
a devastating new reality for all of us who helped him find
reading material, for Karl it was simply a fork in the road. Instead of reading books, he would now listen to books.
He listened to up to ten books recorded on cassette tape a
week. And when he finished, each was marked with the initial
K. When the library format changed to books recorded on
CD, Karl changed with us. Now, all our books on CD were
marked with the initial K.
The initial K was very helpful for his daughter when she
would come and find materials for him. But, the challenge was
finding anything that Karl had not read. Over the years he had
read thousands of books in both print and recorded format
from our library system as well as libraries throughout Ohio.
The only time I heard him complain is when someone selected
a book or two that had some of that romance stuff in it.
In his later years, he was served by the Bookmobile. This
unique outreach team would order books recorded on CD for
Karl from libraries throughout the state. Even though he faced
mobility issues, Karl was stubborn and still wanted to come
onto the Bookmobile to collect his reading material, and the
Bookmobile team always helped him aboard.
It is hard to loose patrons we have grown so fond of over the
years. But with Karl it will be especially tough. Whenever we
see the initial K, we will remember a man who was uncompromising in his love for books and reading. We have thousands of patrons who use the library services. But Karl is one
in a million and he will sincerely be missed. Our deepest condolences and sympathies are offered to his family and everyone
who knew this special man.

Dosters fought cancer together

By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
April 7, 2007 is a day that
Kay Doster will never forget. It
was the day that she began a
cancer journey that was horrifying but eye-opening concerning the love and care of
those surrounding her.
Doster found a lump on her
breast during self-examination.
I went to see Dr. Gray in
Antwerp and he made all of the
arrangements. I was able to
have my surgery and all of the
treatments at Paulding Hospital.
They were very good to me.
They still are very good to me,
said Doster.
The situation was especially
tense because the cancer had
spread into her lymph nodes
and was measured as a stage
four cancer.
I had chemotherapy for six
months afterward, said Doster.
What made things particularly difficult was the fact that
her mother had passed away a
few years earlier with breast
cancer. In addition, two of her
daughters also have had to deal

with the disease.
But the journey wasnt close
to being over.
That same year, two days before Christmas, it was discovered that her husband, Dennis,
also had the illness.
I had a fatty tumor and I
went to Dr. Gray, observed
Dennis. Dr. Gray wasnt going
to send it away and then he decided to. As it turned out, that
was an act of God on his part.
Dennis was diagnosed with a
form of sarcoma and was sent to
James Cancer Hospital at Ohio
State University for treatment.
There he was given the options
of either observation or performing surgery for removal of
the tumor. Without question,
Doster chose surgery.
The doctors around here
didnt know what to think, said
Doster. No doctor around here
had ever seen anything like it.
Fortunately, Dr. Mayerson in
Columbus had performed about
10 surgeries a year in that strain
of cancer. He knew how to deal
Library supporters to
meet regarding levy
PAULDING The Paulding County Carnegie Library Levy

Committee PAC will meet at 6 p.m. today, June 4, at the main
library in Paulding and invites any supporters of the library to join.
The sole purpose of the levy committee is to advocate a yes
vote for the library levy. With the recent levy not passing, we need
to educate the community about the importance of our phenomenal countywide library system and re-strategize ways to best energize our fellow community members. There are many rules and
guidelines that must be followed and we have that information to
share with you. Activities may include fundraising events, yard
sign distribution, newspaper ads, special events, letter to the editor,
and door-to-door campaigns.
The board of trustees of the Paulding County Carnegie Library
is responsible for establishing secure funding for Paulding
Countys library system. With state funding shrinking, the library
levy provides about half of all revenue for the library system. Because of the recent levy not passing, the board has listened to the
community and reduced the millage requested. It is a five-year renewal with a decrease of an existing levy to provide stable funding
for future generations.
The library system includes the main historic Carnegie library
in Paulding, branches in the villages of Antwerp, Oakwood and
Payne, and a Bookmobile.
with it.
Once the surgery was performed, there were no treatments necessary, but Doster
made several trips to Columbus
for observation for several
months.
I was horrified when I found
out that he had it, too, said Kay
Doster. I couldnt believe it. I
didnt want to believe it; it was
the biggest shock of my life.
You just dont expect things like
that to happen.
Immediately, both Dosters
were transformed into a different way of looking at things.
Little things didnt mean
anything to me anymore, said
Doster from their comfortable
country home in Broughton.
The only things I had to deal
with were big things. It changed
my whole way of looking at
things.
The Dosters admitted that
they were overwhelmed when
they found out they had been
selected to be recognized as
survivors by the Relay committee. But unfortunately, the
troubles werent over.
Last week, as the couple anticipated the Relay For Life with
excitement, Kay developed
more physical problems, not related to cancer, which caused
her to be hospitalized for a
week. Fortunately, she got out
of the hospital just in time to be
part of the survivor lap on Friday, much to the dismay of her
doctor.
The doctor told me not to
go, but the Relay For Life
means so much to me I decided
to go anyway, said Kay with
determination in her countenance. You see so many others
that have it. It makes you realize
that you can fight it, too.
Dennis and Kay Doster participated in the survivor lap to help open this years Relay For Life.
When we went to ColumEarlier in the day, Kay had been released from the hospital for an unrelated ailment.
bus, I saw so many kids that had
it, and their parents with them,
Dennis said. I felt so bad for
them; I didnt think so much of
myself. I realized that at least I
could come and go. I realized
that you just have to take it one
day at a time.

agricultural-related degree
after high school.
His 4-H projects have
included dairy beef feeders,
broilers, and market lambs.
Abram feels he has a huge
role in meat production. He

understands the need to have
a quality product that the public would be satisfied with.
He is willing to pass the
knowledge and experience he
used down to the next generation.
He knows livestock is an
extremely rewarding project,
but takes a big commitment.
The more time and energy put
into it, the more rewarded you
will feel at the end of the project.

learned valuable skills in
leadership and how to take
care of animals, working as a
team, working on a common
goal and learning from all of

Matthews plan for the

future is attending The Ohio
State University on the main
campus. He is majoring in
agricultural engineering and
minoring in agricultural business. His 4-H projects are beef
feeder, market steer, dairy
beef feeder, market steer and

and livestock projects are the
reason his major and minor

consist of agriculture engineering and business areas.
Matthew wants to make
sure he produces a safe and
wholesome product for the
