Wind farm looks to 2016 construction

By JOE SHOUSE
Progress Staff Writer
PAULDING A public informational
meeting led by EDP Renewables and the
Ohio Power Siting Board was held at the
OSU Extension building in Paulding on
Monday evening. The meeting was made
available to the public in order for citizens to see the proposed Phase III of the
Timber Road wind turbine project scheduled for 2016.
The new project will consist of an
eight-mile above-ground 138 KV electric transmission line along with 48 additional turbines.
The purpose of our meeting tonight
is to show those interested the overhead
transmission line that will connect the
new 100 mega-watt wind farm to the

electric grid, said Erin Bowser, EDP
director of project management.
Currently, there are two proposed
routes for placing the transmission line, a
primary and alternate. Maps were made
available outlining the two alternatives.
Several land owners and county officials were present to ask questions and
to better understand the scope of the
project.
The primary option for the overhead
electric cable is scheduled to be located
through Harrison and Benton townships
along and near Road 124 between Road
21 and Ohio 49. The wind turbines are
to be located north and west of Payne in
Harrison Township.
The Ohio Power Siting Board (OPSB)

was present at the meeting to oversee the
wind farm process. The board reviews
applications for the construction of major
utility facilities, including wind farms.
As a part of EDP Renewables application for Timber Road III, the developer describes the proposed facility and
its impact on the surrounding area. The
application for a transmission line, much
like the one to be constructed in Paulding County, must contain information on
both the preferred as well as an alternate
site or route.
After the informational meeting was
held on Monday evening, a series of
steps are taken over the next several
months under the direction of the OPSB.
Part of the process includes opportunities

for the public to voice their opinions and
concerns about the proposed project.
There is a series of steps and procedures to follow and its our board that
helps facilitate the process and to work
closely with the utility company to make
sure all the proper steps are taken, said
OPSB spokesman Matt Butler.
Everyone we have talked to tonight
is very favorable of the construction of
Timber Road III. There doesnt seem to
be any opposition, said Butler.
Currently, Timber Road II, a 99 turbine wind farm, provides 99 megawatts
of wind generation, producing enough
electricity to power over 28,000 average
Ohio households.
Industrial accident
claims county man
By MELINDA KRICK
Progress Editor
HAVILAND A Grover
Hill man was fatally electrocuted last week at a county manufacturing facility.
The man was initially identified as Samuel Jose Guerrero, 33. He was later identified as
Jose Florean.
The incident occurred Oct.
19 at Haviland Plastic Products
located in Haviland. Guerrero died at 3:59 a.m. Monday
at Van Wert County Hospital.
An EMS unit from Scott was
dispatched to the plant at 3:11
a.m., according to Paulding
County Sheriffs Office records.
A deputy also responded.
The sheriffs office had no additional details.
Kim Nelson, area director of
the Ohio Occupational Safety
and Health (OSHA) office in
Toledo, said in a telephone interview that an individual had
been electrocuted and OSHA
has started an investigation. No
specific details are available
yet.
The incident investigation
likely will take several weeks,
but must be completed within
six months.
No information was available from Haviland Plastic
Products.
Sheriff Jason Landers confirmed Friday that the victim
was actually not Samuel Jose
Guerrero, but instead was Jose
Florean.
The mans identity was con-
firmed by fingerprints examined by the Federal Bureau of

Investigation.
The identification of the man
as Guerrero originally came
from identification found with
him.
When the deputies went to
make notification with the next
of kin, they referred to him as
something different than what
the ID was he had in his possession, so that caused us to send
his fingerprints off to see if we
could figure out exactly who he
was. It came back as Jose Florean, which is who his family
said he was, explained Landers.
Haviland Plastic Products,
founded in 1995, produces a
range of standard and custom
plastic products for the horticulture industry. It utilizes materials recycled in-house and
renewable energy through its
anaerobic digester and privately owned wind turbine.
The company has been investigated before by OSHA.
Information on the OSHA
website indicates the company
received a total of four violations in 2007, three of them listed as serious, and penalties
amounting to $4,225.
Another investigation was
opened earlier this year on April
15 and has not been completed.
Records currently show three
serious violations and one other with penalties of $7,910.
In 2005, a worker from Van
Wert died after an industrial accident at the plant.

Fraudulent payroll check

scheme foiled in Antwerp
By JOE SHOUSE
ANTWERP Last Thursday, four individuals from the Detroit area had a well thoughtout plan that could eventually net them over
$80,000. Unfortunately for the young foursome, a series of twists and turns landed them in
Antwerp and thats where their plan went sour.
Late in the afternoon on Oct. 22, the Antwerp
Police Department had received a tip from the
Antwerp Exchange Bank loan office in Harlan,
Ind. Bank personnel informed the Antwerp authorities of the four suspects and their intention
of coming to Antwerp to try to cash what appeared to be fraudulent checks.
Once the Antwerp police received word of
the four suspects, their descriptions and their alleged motive to cash phony payroll checks, they
immediately contacted the Antwerp Exchange
Bank, located at 305 S. Main St.
We made the call to the bank and they told
us that one suspect was in the bank at that time
and was attempting to cash a check, said Police Chief George Clemens.
The chief had just completed his shift for the
day and was home but his wife, Victoria, also
an Antwerp police officer, was just coming on
shift and she responded.
After the suspect was unable to cash her phony paycheck, she exited the bank and quickly
got into a rented car where the other three occupants were waiting. Once they pulled away
from the bank location, Officer Clemens pursued the rented vehicle and stopped them in
front of the Subway restaurant at 104 South
Main, just two blocks north of the bank.
While in pursuit, Officer Clemens called out
for backup from the Paulding County Sheriffs
Office. Within minutes, the new county K-9
unit was on the scene as were two members of
the Ohio State Patrol Intelligence Unit.
The response from the sheriffs department
was amazing. They were quick to arrive and the
presence of the two OSP officers just happened
to be in the area and showed up. I cant say
enough about our county sheriffs department
and all they did to assist in this situation from
the very beginning of the investigation, said
Chief Clemens.
With the four individuals detained, the investigation continued on the spot, including
interviews and K-9 inspection of the vehicle.
Although no weapons were confiscated, there
was a small amount of marijuana located inside
the car.
Three of the four suspects confessed to what
was going on with attempting to cash checks,
and the driver of the car, the only male, told

Some changes may be coming to Village of Payne

By JOE SHOUSE
PAYNE Payne Mayor Terry
Smith reported Monday that village
council has sent two new ordinances
to committee for review. Both ordinances will bring change for the residence and deals with yard waste pick
up and emergency snow removal. The
mayor also reported the new flashing
lights have been at two intersections in
the village.
The flashing traffic lights have been
installed at the intersection of Main
and Merrin streets and Main and
Townline streets.
The lights at Main and Merrin streets

are red flashing in all directions and
four-way stop in all directions. The
Main and Townline intersection is red
flashing east and west with stop signs;
the north and south are flashing yellow
and do not stop. This is to ODOT standards.
Village council and ODOT will be
closely monitoring the change in incidents caused by these changes, and can
be reevaluated at an appropriate time
frame.
In the near future, two ordinances
will go to committee for review and
on to full council for approval.
The first ordinance is a yard waste

ordinance that further defines the Ohio
Basic Code in the matter of placing
yard waste (grass clipping, leaves,
twigs limbs, etc.) in the street gutter
and on public roadways. This ordinance is out of both a need for safety
and maintenance of the village sewer
system.
Placement of these objects in the
gutter and on roadways is dangerous
and hazardous if they are rained on or
wet as they become slick and slippery
to vehicles. The yard waste is washed
down into the sewer system after rains
or blocks drainage if it becomes fro-
zen. The yard waste accumulates in

the sewer system and either needs for
expensive sewer jetting to remove or
is flushed out into the lagoons as solid
waste.
This ordinance allows for a warning
followed by a substantial fine for failure to comply.
With the upcoming winter season
fast approaching, the existing snow
emergency ordinance has been rewritten to help promote safety and further
expedite cleanup of village streets in a
timely manner, still being able to not
cause property damage to park vehicles or village equipment.
The ordinance states that all vehicles shall be off of all streets if there is
two inches of snow until all streets are
cleared and snow has stopped falling.
After last years high levels of snow
accumulation, the revised ordinance
will read that an emergency can be
declared when large accumulations
of snow are being predicted in a short
period of time before the snow starts
so residence have time to move vehicles before snow starts to fall, instead
of after the snow starts and an emergency is declared. Removal of vehicles
during snow storms and emergency
will be done at owners expense.

authorities he was simply the

driver and thats all he was to

Clemens.
Also, as a part of the immediate investigation, the fraudulent checks totaling $80,000
were discovered inside the car
underneath the carpet that had
been cut away in order to hide
the checks.
The initial charge against all
four is forgery, but additional
charges may be filed.

and refused to accept a reward.
Like the delivery driver who
told you that your eyes light up
the world when you smile.
---like the small child who
showed you the wonder in simple things. Like the poor man
who offered to share his lunch
with you.
---like the rich man who
showed you that it really is all
possible, if only you believe
in something and are willing
to work hard for it. Like the
stranger who just happened to
come along when you lost your
way.
And, like the friend who
touched your heart when you
didnt think you had one to
touch.
Angels come in all sizes and
shapes, all ages and skin types.
Some have freckles, some have
dimples, some have wrinkles.
They come disguised as
friends, teachers, students, lovers and fools. They dont take
life too seriously. They travel
light. They leave no forwarding address; they ask nothing
in return. They wear sneakers
with gossamer wings. They get
a deal on dry cleaning.
They might be hard to find
when your eyes are closed, but
they are everywhere you look
when you choose to see.

Ancestry.com.
There are different options that come with the purchase of Family
Tree Maker 2014. A basic version can be purchased or one that has
a one-year membership to Ancestry.com.Paul stressed that it is important to keep family files up to date and make them easy to share

Autumn days bring fond
memories of Lovinas mother
October such a beautiful
autumn month! Our leaves on
the trees are very pretty and
colorful! We had a frost this
weekend, which put an end to
our garden for 2015. I really
was ready for the garden to
be done this year. It was such
a busy summer, and its nice
to have that extra job over.
(Although it still has to be
finished with cleaning it out,
fertilizing and tilling.)
October also marks another
year of penning this column.
It is 13 years since I took this
over after my mother, Elizabeth Coblentz, so suddenly
passed away. She will always
be remembered dearly! I enjoy
hearing from readers who read
her column from the beginning. I was only 19 years old
and living at home when she
began writing the column.
I remember her sitting at the
table sometimes to write, after
some of us girls were married
and had come home to spend
the day. Now I can imagine
how hard it probably was for
her to concentrate, with all of
us girls and our young children there talking. She was
always so glad to see us come
home, and she was always so
willing to cook a meal for everyone.
I now know the feeling
of joy when a married child
comes home to visit or to
spend the day. Daughter Elizabeth works at the RV factory, so she doesnt come home
as often as I would like her
to. She and Susan will have
this coming Friday and next
week off. I am excited, as it
will mean getting more time
to spend with Elizabeth. She
plans to come home for the
day Friday. Our other children
are always glad to see Elizabeth and also to see the dogs,
Izzy and Crystal, again. I hope
that a day next week we can
go help her at her house with
catching up on whatever she
needs to get done. It will be so
nice to spend time together.
We had communion services in our church district on
Sunday. It makes for a long
day but always such a refresh-
ing feeling to serve our great

Heavenly Father.
After the services we
stopped in at sister Emma and
Jacobs house to see the progress of the new addition they
are building onto their house.
It is looking very nice already!
Jacob and Emma have lived in
a three-bedroom ranch house
since they moved to Michigan
11 1/2 years ago. So you can
imagine they are excited to
be expanding to more space.
They are adding a second story with three bedrooms, so that
will make room for a bigger
kitchen and living room area.
They will have five bedrooms
after everything is done.
My husband, Joe, wanted
to start the coal stove on Saturday when the temperature
dropped to 30 degrees. Brrr!
When he went to check out
the stove pipes, he saw that a
piece of it had rusted. He went

after a piece at a store nearby,
but they were out of stock on
that size. It was ordered and
should be in this week. Now
the weather has turned warmer, with the temperature reaching over 70 degrees yesterday.
I have had several requests
to reprint my dressing recipe.
I always use it to stuff my turkey on Thanksgiving.
Until next week God
bless!

Heres to Elmer Gantry

and tent revivals
You may have to be older to
remember the old tent revivals
(of course I remember them).
When I was a child we attended quite a few of the religious
services and I still remember
the sawdust on the floors, the
huge tent, the enthusiastic
singing, testimonies and people praying and finding God.
Many years ago (way back
before my time) there was a
point in history that tent revivals became a place that
drew thousands of people.
They would travel for miles
on horse and buggy to partake
of the blessings and hopes of
finding God.
One of the most recorded revivals was held in Cane
Ridge, Ky. in 1801. A man by
the name of McCready was
the preacher and the event attracted approximately 10,000
people. Folks would sleep on
the grounds and pack food as
the revival could last for perhaps a week.

The
Christian
people
thought the frontiersmen
needed a good dose of salvation. Some of the rugged pioneers loved to brawl in the
bars, drink some moonshine
and chase the ladies. So, of
course, one of the things that
the tent revival preachers
would try and do was to get
them to the revival services to
repent.
Many of the attendees of
those revivals would get faint,
pass out, and got rid of their
so-called vices the preacher
had loudly proclaimed as a
sin. In some tent revivals, the
ones who repented went and
A Penny for
Your Thoughts
By
Nancy Whitaker
threw out their whiskey bottles and tobacco, vowing to
never partake again. What was
strange was that the non-believers were right outside and
gladly picked up the ungodly
chews and drinks and they
used them.
Sometimes it was during the
days of hopelessness and despair that revival took place.
So it was, in the middle of the
nineteenth century when the
United States was at a spiritual, political, and economic low
point. Many people had become disillusioned with spiritual things, because there were
preachers even back then who
had repeatedly and falsely predicted the end of the world.
There was agitation over
the slavery issue, civil war
was a possibility and a financial crises hit in 1857. Many
Christians realized the need
for prayer and prayer meetings and revivals became even
more prevalent.
By the way, does anyone re-
member the movie Elmer Gantry starring Burt Lancaster?

What I remember about the
tent revivals was the heat in
the summer and ladies sitting
in the seats fanning themselves with funeral home fans.
I also remember that I thought
those preachers were really
long-winded and I would eyeball the boys instead of listening to the fire and brimstone
messages.
I am sure there are still tent
revivals happening all over the
United States and that people
today are concerned about
the world also. The last tent
revival I attended was in the
town of Scott. The preacher
was Vaughn Saam, aka Captain Hook. Captain Hook was
originally from Scott and had
lost an arm and a leg in a motorcycle crash when he was
younger.
His injuries led him to minister to children and adults,
delivering the word of God
with puppets and skits. I was
very honored he asked me to
be a Raisinette as part of the
service skit. And yes, I wore a
raisin costume and long white
gloves and yes I fit into them.
Oh, the days of funeral fans,
heat, tent revivals, and sinners
finding their way to God. To
think back, I am very glad that
these were a part of my life.
How about you? Have you
ever gone to a tent revival? Do
you remember the name of the
ministers and the songs that
were sung? Is there anymore
being held in our area? Let me
know and Ill give you a Penny for Your Thoughts.

Jacob-Eaton Childrens Home

undergoing major repairs
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
PAULDING The Jacob-Eaton Childrens
Home is in the midst of undergoing major repairs, according to Paulding County commissioners.
Within the past year, nearly $30,000 was
spent in the installation of new tanks in the
homes lift station. The station, which is involved in the homes wastewater/sewer management, had deteriorated over the years
since its original construction and tie-in to the
Paulding sewer system, said Commissioner
Roy Klopfenstein.
In addition, Klopfenstein noted that as we
speak renovation is being done to update and
maintain areas of the homes physical construction.
The home itself needs some attention in
the general exterior maintenance, said Klopfenstein. Some of the work is just a matter of
making it look good.
Current maintenance work being done by
Denning Home Improvement includes new
soffit and fascia, new siding on front gable,
painting and recaulking the front door, new
gutters and downspouts, new porch posts, new
brick molding for garage doors, new porch
lights, painting the west door, removing conduit from soffit and recaulking windows.
Cost for the restoration is estimated at approximately $17,000.

The Jacob-Eaton Home is the product of
two farms that were originally bequeathed to
the county said Klopfenstein. Crops on the
farms are sown and harvested each year under
the countys care on a cash-rent basis. Money
generated from the crops goes toward the upkeep of the home.
Both farms entrusted the ground to the
county with the same principle, that of benefiting children in need in the county, said
Klopfenstein. Updating work actually began
three years ago with a new steel style roof.
Last year, the foundation was raised and additional cement work supported the garage.
Klopfenstein noted that additional work
will include landscaping.
We are doing the best we can to carry out
the will of the grantors to maintain a home
where young people with need can have an
opportunity for quality home life and have the
opportunity to mature.
The farms are here to help take care of the
home. It is our responsibility to do all that we
can to be good stewards of the home, commented Commissioner Mark Holtsberry. We
want the children to know that the community and county are behind them and care about
them.

Dave Griffiths, James Brown and Logan Dosler have been working on a project to bring restoration to the courthouse landscaping.
Halloween
Festivities
Courthouse grounds
Saturday, Oct. 31st
getting a historic look
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
PAULDING Paulding
County Commissioner Mark
Holtsberry said earlier this
week that he had been concerned for some time in the
rapidly deteriorating appearance of the courthouse
grounds, especially following
the stress of heavy snow over
the past two winters.
Holtsberry noted that a
large amount of damage had
occurred to plants and bushes because of the massive
amount of ice melter and
chemicals applied to the sidewalks and steps to keep them
clear of snow and ice.
Many of the bushes between the courthouse and
sidewalk were starting to die,
commented Holtsberry.
Commissioners analyzed
the situation and sent out requests to surrounding landscaping firms asking for
responses from those who
would be interested in re-de-
signing and helping maintain

the courthouse grounds. Eventually, a contract was awarded
to Solid Ground, managed by
Brian Shuherk. The projected
cost of the restoration was just
over $21,000.
In addition, the board of
commissioners signed a threeyear contract with the firm to
continue to maintain and build
the landscaping look and to
be in charge of caring for the
sidewalks and lawn care.
They already did some
major work around the courthouse this summer, said
Commissioner Tony Zartman. They removed all of
the mulch and replaced it
with slate so that the wind
wouldnt disturb the area and
plants.
Zartman noted that Solid
Ground has given the commissioners a three-year plan
including work to be done
on corners by the main steps
next summer and perimeter
work outside the village side-
walk the following year.

We told them to use a lot
of color and a lot of variety,
said Holtsberry, who noted
that the designers are even
using certain historic plants,
bushes, colors and trees such
as the traditional buckeye
tree.
Some plants bloom the
entire season. Others bloom
for shorter times followed
by others that bloom behind
them, noted Zartman. This
was a tough decision for us.
Its not cheap, but were
proud of our courthouse and
we believe that the people of
our county are proud of the
courthouse lawn, too.
It was evident how much
personal pride each bidder
took in making their presentations, said Zartman. We
could tell that each one would
have liked to take care of our
Paulding County Courthouse
lawn. It encourages us to see
the pride the people in this
county take in our grounds.

Grover Hill fourth graders enjoyed their afternoon at the Black Swamp Nature Center.
Students visit Nature Center

By Staci Miller
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
Last week, Grover Hill fourth grade
students got the opportunity to visit the
Black Swamp Nature Center in Paulding
for a field trip.
The weather was sunny and beautiful
out, so the students got to have a picnic
outside for lunch. After lunch, the students learned about the history of the
nature center before being divided into
groups. They visited four different stations throughout the afternoon.
The stations included a nature scavenger hunt, a demonstration with the
streamulator about erosion, macro invertebrates and edible bugs.
On the scavenger hunt, Deb Hubbard,

Paulding SWCD district technician, took
the students on the trails where they identified leaves and animals while enjoying
the beautiful sights and sounds of nature.
Linda Krouse, Defiance SWCD education specialist, talked to the students
about erosion, flood plains and even let
the students create their very own water
barriers with the streamulator. The streamulator enabled students to see firsthand
the effects water can have on land and
environment.
During the macro invertebrate session,
the students learned about macro invertebrates from Staci Miller, Paulding SWCD
education specialist. She went into the
Flat Rock Creek by the dam to find some
live macros for the students to identify.

Then the students got to sort through the
leaves, sticks and stones to find the little
creatures living in the creek.
The fourth station was when Coral
Fetzer, Paulding SWCD district program
administrator, gave the kids the opportunity to eat a freshly fried mealworm.
The students learned about the bugs and
fragments of bugs that are present in our
food, then they could try one fried in butter with ranch seasoning.
At the conclusion of the field trip, the
students played a game of Macro Simon
Says before getting a popsicle to end this
educational field trip. The students and
teachers enjoyed their visit and plan to
make this a yearly event.
CLASS REUNION Paulding High School Class of 1954 held its 61st class reunion on Aug. 29 at the Vagabond Restaurant. Eleven
classmates along with their spouses attended. They included, front from left - Carol (Russell) Pracht, Marilyn (Wells) Osborn, Betty
(Dangler) St. John, Joan (Harrow) Pease; back row - Larry Zeller, Ray Pier, Ralph DeMuth, Dolores (Wood) Vitello, Don Phlipot, Dorothy (Phlipot) Alt and Dave Stouffer.

5th Quarter Party

a hit with kids
PAULDING Oct. 23 was the fifth 5th Quarter party this

fall, one after each Paulding home football game.
Several area churches worked together to host them. The
first four were in the Presbyterian parking lot; the last one was
the Super Bowl at Alley Cat Lanes.
The event drew 80-100students. Organizers said the village cooperated with us by closing the street immediately in
front of the bowling alley, where volleyball, corn hole and
some other games were set up.
The First Presbyterian Church rented the bowling alley this
time, and very much appreciate the support of owners Tom and
Cathy Porter in welcoming and feeding so many kids.
Other churches that cooperated throughout the fall were
Branch Christian Fellowship, First Christian Church, Divine
Mercy Parish and Church of the Nazarene.
Students and parents are encouraged to Like 5th Quarter Party on Facebook to get updates on what is coming next.
The Presbyterians are working on some 5th Quarter activities Close to 100 teens bowled, played games and ate at the seasons final 5th Quarter Party, held Oct. 23 at Alley Cat Lanes following

By SAMANTHA
HABERN
Correspondent
OAKWOOD The Paulding
Exempted Village School Board
met in a regular session at the
Oakwood Elementary Cafeteria
on Tuesday, Oct. 20.
The board approved the purchase of outdoor security cameras from Esco Communications
for $85,339.58. The cameras will
be place at the Paulding campus,
the bus garage, and the athletic
complex.
Sue Monnier, a faculty member, spoke to the board regarding
the policy on how many people are allowed in the Wellness
Center building after hours. She
would like the policy to include
families and more hours. The
board is going to work with her to
try and come up with something
different.
Stephanie Tear, Paulding Elementary principal, was presented with a leadership award and
certificate for her help with the
Christmas For Kids project.
The girls volleyball team was
congratulated on being the NWC

co-champions with an 7-1 conference record.
Due to winter sports practices
being more sporadic, the activity
bus may not be running in the
winter.
Because there is only one
home wresting match this winter, there were discussions on
moving Reading Is a Sport up to
Thanksgiving instead of having it
over Christmas break, allowing
wresting to be a part of it.
In regards to the recent split
school delay, it was stated that the
school is working on a half a dozen plans for handling the situation
in the future, and that kids safety
always comes first.
The board approved sending
the girls varsity and JV basketball
teams, consisting of 20 students,
three coaches, and one or two
chaperones to Ridgedale High
School and The Ohio State University in Columbus on Friday,
Nov. 13 to Sunday, Nov. 15. Estimated cost would be $700, paid
for by the students and parents
club.

Commissioners Journal
Commissioners Journal September 28, 2015
This 23rd day of September, 2015, the Board of County
Commissioners met in regular session with the following members present: Roy Klopfenstein, Tony Zartman, Mark Holtsberry, and Nola Ginter, Clerk.
MEETING NOTES OF APPOINTMENTS
Ed Bohn, EMA - Paulding Countys EOP will be reviewed
today. Bohn reported nine of the 18 sections are complete. He
then discussed the semi accident on 637 and Flat Rock Creek.
He noted Paulding County coordinated with Defiance County
for large equipment use. Bohn reported all the weather sirens are
installed and will be tested weekly on Wednesdays at 1 p.m.
Mike Jay and Brian Bilger, Regional Growth Partnership
(RGP) Jobs Ohio; Jerry Zielke, PC Economic Development
- Jay announced that presidents of several area colleges/universities are in the process of forming a consortium to discuss
and plan educational programs that would fill local companies
needs for skilled workers.
Bilger noted economic development is more probable if there
is infrastructure (water, sewage, roadways, etc.) in place. Prospective manufacturing sites must be shovel ready and have
adequate acreage for the size building desired. Another factor
when considering a manufacturing location is the need for the
product in the immediate area and the options of transporting
that product. Bilger reported 17 counties in northwest Ohio have
seen $2.2 billion in growth.
The commissioners asked what they could do to promote
economic development in Paulding County. Both Jay and Bilger
agreed the support and good working relationship the commissioners have with the Paulding County Economic Development
director is a big plus. Jay strongly suggested continuing to apply
for and search out grants for infrastructure. Zielke has been very
proactive in meeting with prospective businesses and promoting
Paulding County for a location. He also noted there has been significant growth in established businesses, naming several companies that have expanded, creating additional opportunities for
employment.
Zielke announced Friday, Oct. 2, is Manufacturing Day at
Northwest State. He also noted that the NORAD meeting on
Oct. 8 will focus on Issues 2 & 3 (legalizing marijuana in Ohio).
If passed, Ohio will be the fifth state to legalize marijuana. Jay
shared statistics from Colorado (already a marijuana-legal state),
noting the effects marijuana use has on the workforce (absenteeism, increase in accidents on the job, etc.)
EXECUTIVE SESSION
A motion was made by Zartman to go into executive session
at 9 a.m. with Matthew Miller, tenant for the Eaton Farm, to
discuss legal matters.
At 9:35 a.m. all members present agreed to adjourn the executive session and go into regular session.

online. The third grade students will be taking
their first ELA (English/Language Arts) test the
week of December 7th. The district will be conducting the remaining tests starting April 11th and
ending on May 13th this school year. Exact testing
dates will be announced later for each content
area. There is a new website produced by the
Ohio Department of Education that is dedicated to
the testing and has great resources not only for
school personnel, but for parents as well. Parents
may visit www.ohiostatetests.org to find great
resources and also practice tests to help children
prepare at home.
The district has also received preliminary test
results from last years AIR test and PARCC test
and is still working on analyzing these results and
waiting on official results that will be produced by
the Ohio Department of Education. These results
are scheduled to be released by the Ohio Department of Education in January of 2016.
REMINDER- It is time to begin nominations
for the Academic Hall of Fame Class of 2016.
Graduates of any high school currently within the
boundaries of the Paulding Exempted Village
Schools District are eligible for nomination. Other
criteria for nominations and the application can be
accessed
on
our
website
at
www.pauldingschools.org under Academics
and then Hall of Fame. The Academic Hall of
Fame Nomination application deadline is February 1, 2016 and is just another way to showcase
the many talents of the Paulding Exempted Village School District graduates.
We are very proud of our many talented students
and invite the community to attend our concerts,
programs, and athletic contests. See the calendar

NOTES FROM THE PRINCIPALS

Paulding Elementary-Stephanie Tear
Teachers continue to meet the academic needs of
our students at Paulding Elementary. With the
new Ohio Third Grade Guarantee, there come
requirements from the State to monitor students
not on track at their grade level in reading. This
process was actually already in place in our elementary school. We identify students, communicate with parents, and implement a research-based
intervention to help each child succeed. There is a
sense of urgency and importance to each and every day because we have an important mission to
accomplish. Im so proud of the success that is
evident at Paulding Elementary. You can read
more about the Third Grade Reading Guarantee at
education.ohio.gov.
I am lucky and blessed to have the opportunity to
work with the teachers and students here at Paulding Elementary. As I walk through the hallways
and visit classrooms, the engaged learning that is
taking place is thrilling. Teachers are utilizing the
five mobile computer labs, as well as a classroom
lab, to develop keyboarding skills, interventions
and pre-assessments to their units. Ask your child
about their computer activities and ready yourself
to hear exciting news! I hope you will take time
to visit the school website. Each grade level adds
news monthly so you are aware of our learning
activities.
As we enter into the holiday season, Paulding
Elementary will be working to help others. We
want the children to learn that helping others is a
way to make the world a better place. Second
grade will be donating cans of food on their trip to
the Historical Society this month. Kindergarteners are also involved in the Festival of Trees at the
Historical Society. The students are also involved
in a canned food drive with K105 The Bull radio

station. We also have the Ronald McDonald
House pop tab collection ongoing throughout the
year. It is important to build character and citizenship and one terrific way to do this is through giving. Making opportunities available for children
to give has been a rewarding part of our year!
Paulding Elementary wishes each and every family a safe and blessed holiday season. My hope is
that you enjoy one another and embrace time together.
Parent-Teacher Conferences are being held on

November 5 and 10. This is a great time for parents to meet with teachers about the academic
endeavors of their children. It is important for
parents to help us as we provide the best education possible for our students. One way to do this
is communicate regularly with our staff to keep
track of student progress. Please feel free to call
Mrs. Retcher at 419-399-4656 ext. 1212 to schedule conference appointments. Because of ParentTeacher Conferences, there will be no school on
Wednesday, November 26, as well as November
27 and 28. Also, Monday November 30 is a Professional Development day for teachers, therefor
the are no classes for students.
Mid-term reports for the Second Nine Weeks
grading period will be coming home with the kids
on December 8th. Please look for these and make
sure to discuss them with your student. Please
also keep in mind that the first semester for this
school year does not end until January 15, 2016.
We want to thank you for supporting our annual
fund raiser again this year as we raised close to
$5000. This money is used annually to pay for
incentives/assemblies for our students as well as
supplement different student activities, such as the
8th grade trip to Cedar Point in June.
Thank you for your continued support of Paulding
Middle School, and on behalf of our staff here, we
wish you a very Blessed Happy Thanksgiving.
FALL PLAY
PHS Drama Dept. will be performing the classic
Arsenic and Old Lace on November 20 and

to jail. ARSENIC AND OLD LACE is a comedy
hit that will keep you laughing and wondering just
who is going to the "nut house".
High School-Todd Harmon

Greetings from Paulding High School where striving for excellence is our focus so students are prepared for College and the work force. Parentteacher conferences are upon us and we look forward to having parents here to talk with their
child's teachers. The dates are November 5 and
10 from 4:00-7:00 p.m. Please call 419-399-4656
ext. 1112 to set up a conference with your childs
teacher(s). There will be no school on Wednesday, November 25 due to the conferences, as well
as November 26 and 27 for Thanksgiving break,
and November 30 is a Professional Development
Day with no school for students.
The House competitions at PHS are going well.
Students can earn Parent Night points for parents
coming in for conferences. This gives another
good reason to come in to talk with your child's
teachers - your child's House receives points by
having teachers sign your child's House card that
can be picked up in the office prior to meeting
with teachers. Please help your child by attending
conferences so we can see improved achievement
and involvement. The following points have been
accumulated so far: Palmarium 555, Excellentia
535, Vinco Vici Victum 538, and Stupendum
541. If you would like to donate and sponsor a
house, please contact Mr. Harmon at the high
school office 419-399-4656.

Oakwood Elementary-Jennifer Manz

Hello from Oakwood Elementary on a beautiful
fall day! I am typing this article during the last
week of the first quarter! By the time you read
this, we will have finished inputting information
and finalizing grades and we will be printing and
distributing first quarter grade cards. We encourage families to spend time looking at the grade
cards and to work together with children to set a
new academic goal or two to focus on for the next
few months.
October was full of lots of special activities at our
school! We had Fire Prevention and Safety Day
on October 7th where we learned fire safety tips
from our local firefighters and EMTs. We celebrated being chosen by the Defiance Walmart to
receive their Teacher Rewards on October 9th.
During the week of October 12-16, we took notice
of National School Lunch Week by showing extra
appreciation for the job our lunch ladies do each
day preparing and serving healthy breakfasts and
lunches. October 19-23 is School Bus Safety
Week (theme: Be safe Be seen, I wait in a safe
place!); and we want to say a special thank you to
our bus drivers for the dedication they have to
safely transporting our most precious cargo to and
from school each day.
Part of our focus for learning at Oakwood Elementary revolves around character development
helping children understand the importance of
making good character traits part of our habits.
Each month, we concentrate our attention on one
positive character trait. In September, we focused
on RESPECT; in October, we have spotlighted
RESPONSIBILITY; and in November, we will be
emphasizing CITIZENSHIP. For the past several
weeks, Mrs. Wehrkamp and Ms. Schlatter have
been working with students on songs and skits for
a special school-wide program called Character
Counts! It Begins With Me! which was performed on October 15th.
In early November, we will hold our fall Parent/
Teacher Conferences. Conferences are an opportunity for parents to ask questions about what they
are seeing their child learn and do in the classroom, on assessments, and for homework. If you
have questions or concerns, if you are wondering
why your child is expected to master a certain
skill, or if you are looking for ideas of how to help
reinforce new concepts with your child at home, a
parent/teacher conference is the perfect time to
address any of these topics. The children who are
most successful in school are those who know
their parents and teachers are working together in
their best interests. By forming a solid team, we
can help our children excel.
Oakwood Elementary invites all Veterans to our
Veterans Day Program on Wednesday, November 11, at 8:30 a.m.
We are well on the path to a successful school
year! As always, we need and appreciate the support of our whole community to make it happen
thank you for being there for us!
SENIOR CITIZEN BREAKFAST

The annual Senior Citizen Breakfast will be on
Wednesday, December 9. All district residents 60
years and older are invited to join us at 8:30 a.m.
for
breakfast, fellowship and entertainment.
Doors will open at 8:15 a.m.. We will be showcasing the talents of our students from each building. Please call the administration office at 419399-4656, ext. 1512, to reserve a seat.
YEARBOOK SALES NOTICE

All high school students will be receiving a year
book order form in late October. Students may
order their 2015-2016 yearbook online
at www.ybpay.com, or they may fill out the form
and return it to school with a check enclosed
(checks should be made out to Paulding High
School Yearbook). Yearbooks are $55 with additional fees for personalization. Please see the website or order form for details. Please contact Carolyn Connelly at 419-399-4656 ext 1157 or
c_connelly@pauldingschools.org.
SEARCH FOR CHILDREN WITH
DISABILITIES
Our school district is participating in an effort to
identify, locate and evaluate all children from
birth through 21 years of age who may have disabilities. Disability, in this instance, means such
conditions as hearing impairments, visual impairment, speech or language disabilities, mental retardation or other health impairments, physical
impairments, autism and traumatic brain injury.
Our school has responded vigorously to federal
and state mandates requiring the provision of a
free and appropriate public education, regardless
of a childs disability. But before we can serve
children they must be found. Many children with
disabilities are not visible because they cannot
function in the mainstream of the community.
Also, many unidentified children with disabilities
are preschoolers. Parents may not be aware their
child has a disability, or that there are programs
and services available. Our school district is interested in meeting the needs of the children with
disabilities. If you know of a child who may have
a disability, contact the school for information or
help.

Thanksgiving cactus (Schlumbergera truncata) is an easy-to-find and easy-to-grow succulent

houseplant that typically begins blooming in November. Similar varieties of the plant (but more
difficult to find) are Christmas cactus (S. bridgesii) and Easter cactus (Rhipsalidopsis gaetneri).
Lets talk about houseplants

WAIT! Dont go away. I
know some of you will see the
headline and think, I dont do
houseplants. This wont apply
to me. But dont be so sure.
You could be one of those
people that I just talked to the
other day who told me they
had a black thumb. It might
come as a surprise to you,
but theres no such thing as a
black thumb. You just havent
met the right plant yet. (I tell
people who hate cats the same
thing - you just havent met
the right cat.)
The growing of houseplants
is on the rise, and there are
several reasons to account for
that. With these reasons, you
no longer have an excuse for
not growing them (unless of
course, you simply dont like
plants).
1. Houseplants make a home
look lived-in and cozy. They
dont if theyre half-dead of
course, but a healthy houseplant gives the illusion that
this is a home, not just a house.
2. Houseplants improve
the quality of the air around
them. NASA did some studies
on this, to see if plants could
help improve the air in space.
It turns out that not only do
plants turn carbon dioxide into
oxygen (which weve known),
some actually filter the air and
rid it of toxins.
3. Houseplants improve
your mood. Think about it.
When were stressed, we often
go outside and take a walk in
the park, the woods, the garden, and poof! Just like that,
we feel a little better. Some
have suggested that we are
born with an innate desire to
commune with nature.
Heres the thing plants
werent made to grow in the
house. They like sunshine,
fresh air, rain, and plenty of
room to spread their roots in
the soil. So when you compromise all those things by forcing them to live in pots in the
house with you, its not surprising some of them sulk and

pout and finally give up. But
that doesnt mean you have to.
There are several plants that
do well inside with minimal
care. Succulents of various
types are easy to grow, but
they do generally need very
bright light. If you have a
well-lit spot, try a jade plant,
an aloe, or one of the various
cacti.
If you have a lower light
situation in your house, look
on the plant tags and choose
one that has low light requirements. There are many, such
as Zeezee plant, snake plant
(Sansevieria), or peace lily
(Spathiphyllum), just to name
a few.
Some can survive erratic
watering from people who forget to do it, for example, the
succulents, which store water
in their chubby leaves. Dont
overwater these, or theyll turn
to mush. Others such as Chinese evergreens (Aglaonema)
and prayer plants (Maranta
leuconeura) can be brought
back from droopiness with
ease.
Overwatering is the number
one killer of houseplants and
lets be clear about just what
that is. All plants need some
water, even the so-called air
plants (Tillandsia sp.) But
what overwatering means is
the frequency with which we
do it.
Its perfectly fine to flood
a plant when you water it, in

fact, you should water until its
running out the drainage holes.
But dont water again until the
top inch or so of potting soil
is dry to the touch. This will
be true of most houseplants.
And if you really cant tell by
poking your finger in the soil,
then an inexpensive water
meter can be a big help. Otherwise, the rule of thumb when
it comes to watering is when
in doubt, dont.
But lets just say you feel
like youve done everything
right and the plant eventually
dies. Stop fretting so much
about it! Not all plants are
meant to live a long life. And
even if it only lives six months
for you, chances are pretty
good that you didnt pay much
more for it than you would for
a nice meal. Go buy another
one and try something else.
You dont get that upset when
your annual plants get zapped
by frost in the fall, do you?
Winter is a great time to
have some fun with new
plants, creative containers, and
using houseplants as a design
element in your home. Need
some more ideas? My book,
Indoor Plant Decor: The
Design Stylebook for Houseplants was written just for this.
It has eight DIY projects in it,
too.
The Paulding library has
copies to lend, Amazon has it,
and signed copies are available
from me, either on my website
(by mail), or let me know via
e-mail or Facebook. If you
dont need one for yourself,
its a nice little gift idea too.

NEW CROSS IN PLACE Last week, Jack Fetter (left), Fred Merritt and Jeremy Moore (not pictured) of True Vine Tree Service placed a new Get Right With God cross on U.S. 127 about 1.5
miles south of U.S. 24. Solid Ground will complete landscaping around the cross with materials
donated by Kauser Trucking. Moore also will be adding cables to stabilize the cross in high winds.
The project should be totally completed in about a week. Fetter said the cross committee is planning a dedication ceremony for next year. The committee solicited donations to build a sign the
same size as an old cross sign placed about 1966 on old U.S. 24 near Vagabond Village.

From there, it was all Rams.

Tinora scored on the first play of the
second quarter as Renollet hooked up
with Anders for a 32-yard touchdown
pass that made it 21-0.
Drewes added a pair of second quarter
touchdowns and T.J. Gares scored on a
one-yard plunge as Tinora widened the
margin to 42-0 by the 4:04 mark of the
second quarter.
Wayne Trace found the scoring column with 1:19 left in the first half when
Wobler hooked up with Cole Shepherd
on a two-yard toss.
The Raiders then struck again on the
first possession of the second half as
Wobler found Luke Miller for a 15-yard
touchdown pass that made it 42-12.
Five turnovers though proved too
much to overcome for Wayne Trace,
especially when Tinora converted them
into 28 points.
They took advantage of our mistakes
and turned them into points, Speice
added. But I give our team credit in that
we played hard all night long. That is all
I can ask of them and they went out and
did that tonight.
Gares picked up a five-yard touchdown run and Riley Nagel scored on a
44-yard scamper to finish up the Tinora touchdowns. Placekicker Marcus
Reeves converted all eight extra-point
kicks for the Rams as well.
Well get back to work next week on
LCC, concluded Speice.
Shepherd ran for 47 yards on seven
carries to lead the Raider rushing attack.
Wobler completed 13 of 28 passes for
157 yards for Wayne Trace, which drops
to 4-5 overall and finishes GMC play
with a record of 3-3.
Luke Miller recorded eight receptions
for 100 yards as well for the Raiders.
THUNDERBIRD TIDBITS Wayne
Trace closes the regular season on Friday with a road trip to Lima Stadium to
take on Lima Central Catholic.

Both teams will enter the contest
looking to salvage a .500 season as each
squad currently stands 4-5 overall.
The last time Lima Central Catholic
finished a season without a winning record was 2008 when the T-Birds were
5-5.
Over the last six seasons, Lima Central Catholic posted a 53-7 record in
regular season play, including a pair of
unbeaten seasons.
The Thunderbirds last season with a
losing record was in 2004 when LCC
finished 2-8, a season that Lima Central
Catholic defeated Wayne Trace 29-7 at
Lima Stadium.
Wayne Traces last win over Lima
Central Catholic was in 1995, a 27-23
Raider victory. The Raiders are 2-12 alltime against the Thunderbirds.
On this years version of the Thunderbirds, LCC has lost three of its last
four games and are coming off a 48-13
loss at Columbus Bishop Hartley. Of the
five Thunderbird losses, four of them
have come to schools in Division IV
or larger. Elida (52-14) is a Division III
school while Edgewood, a D-II member,
defeated LCC 62-21. The Thunderbirds
also lost to an undefeated Woodlan (IN)
squad 29-26, a team that would be in
Division IV in Ohio. LCCs other loss
came to Columbus Bishop Ready (2814), another D-VI school.
The T-Birds have defeated a pair
of Division VII teams in Delphos St.
Johns (46-21) and Ada (22-20) along
with D-III member Toledo Rogers (4818). LCC also got past Bluffton (IN) 230, who would be in Division V in Ohio.
The four Thunderbird victories came
over teams with a combined record of
9-28 while the losses are to squads with
a total record of 35-11. The Thunderbirds average 25 points a night while
allowing 31.
Panthers fall in final home game

By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
PAULDING Columbus Grove came into Friday
nights football game against
Paulding riding a four-game
skid after winning their first
four games of the season.
Standing in their way of picking up win number five were
the Panthers who were hungry for their first win of the
season. The Bulldogs managed to end their losing streak
of four and the Panthers are
still working hard for their
first W after putting the
Panthers in a huge hole in the
early going and then coasting
to a 47-12 Northwest Conference win.
In the first quarter the Panthers were intercepted on
their second possession, resulting in the games first
Bulldog touchdown. With
field position at the Panther 24
yard line the visitors needed
just six plays to put the pigskin in the endzone.
The Panthers next offensive
attempt stalled after picking
up just eight yards and being
forced to punt from near midfield. The Grove easily moved
down the field to score, needing just four snaps.
Trailing 14-0, the maroonand-white engineered an
eight-play drive that included
a Corbin Edwards to Preston
Ingol 26-yard pass completion and a 10-yard strike to
Zach Buchman. Unfortunately, late in the quarter, an
Edwards pass was picked
off by Columbus Groves
Adam Birkemeir, who ram-
bled to the four yard line. On

the opening play of the second period, Eric Warnecke
barreled his way across the
goal line for another Bulldog
score, and following a successful extra point, the Grove
was in control 21-0.
Its tough to come back
when you dig a big hole like
we did tonight. This league
is so good and we were up
against another very good
Columbus Grove team. At
times I thought we competed
and had some bright spots.
We have one left and we will
continue to work at getting
better, said Paulding head
coach Tyler Arend.
Down three scores, the
Panthers answered with a little run of their own. Trailing
21-0, Ingol ignited the offense with back-to-back runs
of 25 and 14 yards followed
by a couple of short gains by
Cameron Doster to put the
Panthers inside the 10 yard
line. Edwards capped off the
drive with a nine-yard run to
put the home team favorites
on the board at 21-6.
The Keysor Field scoreboard then had a workout
of its own with three touchdowns taking place in a span
of 33 seconds. Following a
Columbus Grove incomplete
pass, thanks to the defensive
effort of sophomore Anthony
Garcia who batted the ball
away from the intended receiver in the endzone, and a
41-yard scamper by Lachian
Clymer, quarterback Reid
Stechschulte ran the ball in
from 25 yards out at the 9:16
mark.
Paulding answered on its
first play from scrimmage as
Edwards danced his way in
the backfield eluding several
tackles before finding his way
clear to outrun the defense for
a 59-yard score at the 8:50
mark.
Not to be outdone, the
Bulldogs came right back,
and on their first play Stechschulte connected with Aiden
Fortman covering 52 yards of
real estate. Following the extra point, the Bulldogs were
on top 34-12 at 8:43 of the
second quarter.
I thought we ran the ball
effectively in the first half.
We came back and had it
down to within two scores
but we were not able to get
over the hump and we made
some costly mistakes, said
Coach Arend.
Both teams were intercepted to start their opening
drives of the second half.
Branson Minck was on the
receiving end of the Panther
interception.
Columbus Grove scored
with 4:31 remaining in the
third when Stechschulte connected with Clymer for a
10-yard toss. The extra point
was good to push the Bulldog
margin to 29 with a 41-12 advantage.
Midway through the final
period, the Grove added the
final exclamation point in the
contest with two-yard run by
Warnecke, his third score of
the game and making the final 47-12.
By committee, the Grove
used five ball carriers who

gained between 48 and 64
yards in a balanced running
game. Clymer led the Bulldog attack with 64 yards on
six carries while teammate
Aidan Fortman had but two
touches for 58 yards and one
touchdown. Junior quarterback Reid Stechschulte collected 57 yards on 12 totes
with two resulting in scores.
Warnecke, also just a junior,
tallied 54 yards on the ground
on 11 carries and three touchdowns. The fifth carrier was
Baily Clement with 48 yards
on just three attempts.
Offensively for the Panthers, the team ran for 162
yards while passing for 43.
Edwards, behind center, was
good on 5-12 while being
intercepted four times. Edwards collected 52 yards on
the ground followed by Ingol
with 36, Doster adding 35
and Buchman with 20.
Its not what we were
hoping for this year but as
we build the program and
get things turned around, it
will be this senior class who
Jim Bowers/Paulding County Progress
we will remember. It is their Pauldings Zach Buchman #15 rips off a big gain down the sidecharacter on and off the field lines for the Panthers on Friday night against Columbus Grove.
that we want the underclassmen to follow. The seniors
have given us a great example to live and play by and I
could not be prouder of their
contribution to this program,
said Arend.
Seniors who will be playing their last game on Friday
at Crestview are: Corbin Edwards, Nathan Gee, Zach Buchman, Branson Minck and
Jarrett Sitton.
Rams over Archers in offensive shootout

By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
ANTWERP In an offensive shoot
out at Archer Field the Tinora Rams and
the Archer junior varsity football teams
left it all on the field when the final seconds clicked off the end zone scoreboard
clock. The final score had the Archers
coming up a little short 56-52 for their
first conference loss while the greenand-white remain perfect.
Antwerp was led by the quarterback
play of freshman Keaton Altimus. The
signal caller was near perfect in the
passing department, hitting 21 of his 26
attempts, covering 399 yards. Altimus

passed for five touchdowns on strikes of
20 and 12 yards to receiver sophomore
Josh Poulson to the lead the Archer passing attack.
Also on the receiving end of an Altimus touchdown throw were Matt Jones
for 35 yards of real estate, Jake Ryan 14
yards and Cole Sesler with a seven-yard
reception.
On the ground, Altimus found the
end zone on two occasions with runs of
42 and 11 yards out. Mike Taylor also
scored a touchdown on a five-yard run.
Other Archer scoring came on two catch-
es by Jones resulting in successful twopoint conversions after touchdowns.

For the game, Jones finished with five
receptions for 135 yards, Poulson added
109 yards on eight receptions, Dylan Peters recorded 82 yards on fives catches
and Jake Ryan added 65 yards on just
two receptions for the Archers.
In the rushing department, Altimus
finished with 90 yards on 10 totes and
Taylor added 41 yards on eight carries.
The Archers finished with over 520
yards of offense.
The young Archers fall to 5-2 with one
game remaining at Fairview.

Wayne Trace sweeps Lima Perry in opener

By KEVIN WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
HAVILAND Wayne Trace
opened up Division IV sectional
volleyball action on Tuesday night
and the Raiders swept past visiting
Lima Perry to advance to Thursdays second round match.
The Raiders knocked off the
Commodores by scores of 25-18,
25-19 and 25-17 to raise their record to 12-11 on the season. Lima
Perry closes the year at 10-13.
Wayne Trace then made the long
trip to New Bremen on Thursday to
battle a Cardinals squad that finished 14-8 overall and 7-2 in the
Midwest Athletic Conference.
In last Tuesdays action, the
Raiders did something they havent done all season in getting off to
quick starts in each game.

Wayne Trace opened leads of 3-0,
2-0 and 4-0 in the respective games
to get in front of Lima Perry early
on. It was something Raider head
coach Angie Speice was glad to see.
We did a better job of getting off
to a good start tonight, commented the Raider mentor. We knew we
had to come out and play tonight because Lima Perry was a smart team
and very capable of beating us.
The first set saw the Commodores come back to tie the game at
14-14 before Wayne Trace opened
it up. Kills from Erin Mohr, Stacy
Flint and Danae Myers gave the
Raiders a 17-14 advantage and the
local squad continued to pull away
from there.
Leading 21-18, a Myers kill
along with two Perry hitting errors

made it 24-18 Wayne Trace. Flint
then finished off the set with an ace
to seal the 25-18 victory.
In the second set, Wayne Trace
got three early kills by Myers and
another from Leah Maassel as the
Raiders posted a 10-6 advantage.
A kill by Alivia Turman got Lima
Perry within 10-7 before two Mohr
slams and a pair of Carissa Laukhuf
aces put Wayne Trace on top 14-8.
The Commodores closed within 1914 following a Katy Cox kill but

Wayne Trace added two kills
each by Maassel and Myers along

We got contributions from all

The third set saw the Raiders
jump in front 11-2, getting early
kills from Kacey Reinhart, Laukhuf
and Mohr along with aces from
Sydney Critten and Laukhuf.
Lima Perry trimmed the deficit

Division IV Volleyball
Cardinals pull away from Raiders

Sportswriter
NEW BREMEN Wayne Trace gave
host New Bremen all it could handle in
game one of its Division IV sectional
volleyball match Thursday night.
However, the host Cardinals rallied in
the first set and then cruised in the next
two games to post a straight-set win over
the Raiders to advance to next weeks district tournament at Van Wert High School.
The Raiders led most of the first set before New Bremen stormed back for a 2523 victory. Games two and three saw the
Cardinals jump in front early and never
looked back in posting wins by scores of
25-13 and 25-10.
Game one was a battle as the Raiders
hung tough with the highly touted Cardinals.
After New Bremen quickly went on top
2-0, Wayne Trace got an ace from Carissa
Laukhuf as the Raiders rallied to post a
3-2 advantage.
With the set tied at 5-5, kills from Leah
Maassel and Danae Myers helped the
Raiders take an 8-6 advantage.
The Cardinals again answered to tie the
set at 10-10 before slams from Erin Mohr
and Myers, along with a Myers block, put
Wayne Trace on top 13-10.
Two more Myers kills helped the Raiders push the margin to 17-13 and Wayne
Trace led 19-16 following a Mohr block.
After a Myers slam made it 21-17
Wayne Trace, the Cardinals responded.

Kills by Devon Heitkamp, Paige Jones
and Heitkamp helped New Bremen tie
the set at 22-22 before two more Jones
slams made it 24-22 Cardinals.
The Raiders werent done, getting a
kill by Mohr to get within 24-23, before
a slam by Kaitlyn Ahrns sealed the 25-23
victory for New Bremen.
We came out and played very hard
the first set and I thought our girls really
played well, commented Wayne Trace
head coach Angie Speice. New Bremen
adjusted their attacking in the second set,
in the fact they did a better job of placing
the ball and thats what good teams do.
You have to give them credit for that.
New Bremen controlled the second set.
The Cardinals opened a quick 11-1 advantage, with the lone Raider point coming on a Kacey Reinhart kill, but New
Bremen would continue to pull away for
the 25-13 victory.
New Bremen picked up two aces each
from Jones and Madison Pape in the
game along with single aces from Heitkamp and Ali Howell.
Jones and Heitkamp recorded five and
four kills, respectively, in game two.
Ahrns also had two and Alyse Clune added one.
Two Mohr kills gave the Raiders a 2-1
lead in game three before New Bremen
used a six-point run to take an 8-3 advantage.
After a Stacy Flint ace got Wayne Trace

within 11-7, the Cardinals pulled away
with seven consecutive points to post an
18-7 lead.
From there, New Bremen pulled away
to wrap up the 25-10 victory.
I am proud of the effort tonight, Speice said. The girls played hard and they
played throughout the match and didnt
give up.
Myers posted six kills and eight digs
for Wayne Trace with Mohr adding nine
digs, five kills and two blocks. Stacy Flint
also chipped in three kills, five digs and
one ace. Leah Maassel (two kills), Kacey
Reinhart (two kills) and Carissa Laukhuf
(15 assists, six digs, one ace) also aided
the cause for Wayne Trace, which closes
its season at 12-12.
The match also ended the career of
Raider seniors Sydney Critten, Erin Mohr
and Stacy Flint.
We had a successful season, concluded Speice. We played really well at
times this year and we had other nights
that we didnt play as well as we were
capable of. But, overall, I thought the
girls had a good season.

DIVISION III VOLLEYBALL
Aggressive Indians too strong for Panthers

By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
PAULDING A superb
season came to an end on
Wednesday night for the
Paulding volleyball team as
the Lady Panthers fell to visiting Fort Recovery in Division
III sectional action at the Jungle.
The Indians set the tone in
the first game and controlled
both sets one and two in posting victories of 25-19 and 2520. Paulding responded in the
third set with its best game of
the night, resulting in a 25-22
victory, before Fort Recovery
came back to take game four
25-21.
It was a disappointing end
to the Panther season, but first
year head coach Josh Early
was proud of the Panthers efforts this year. Seniors Jaycie
Varner, Kristen Schilt, Sam
Meggison and Kelsey Beck
finished their careers in a Panther uniform.
I am so proud of the girls,
Early commented. We had
an outstanding year and they
worked very hard this season.
Our seniors have been tremendous leaders on the court, off
the court, in the locker room,
everywhere. They are a special group of girls and they
will be hard to replace.
Fort Recovery was the aggressor in the first two sets and
took advantage of a tentative
Panther squad.
We werent as aggressive
as we like to be, especially
early, added Early. I think
some of that was the way Fort
Recovery attacked and I think
it took us a little bit to adjust.
The Indians jumped in front
early 11-6 behind the play of
senior Kendra Siefring and
sophomore Madison Grover.
Siefring, who finished the
night with 18 kills and four
blocks, picked up four slams
early in the first set to help
Fort Recovery get the advantage. Grover also chipped in
a pair of aces for the Indians,
who improve to 10-13 on the
season.
A kill by junior Faith Vogel
sparked a six-point Panther
run that gave Paulding a brief
12-11 advantage before Fort
Recovery answered.
The Mercer County squad
came back with an 11-2 spurt,
aided by two kills each from
Siefring, senior Kirsten Jutte
and senior Morgan Lennartz,
to take a commanding 22-14
lead.

Paulding did close within

24-19 on a Varner ace before a
slam by Lennartz wrapped up
the 25-19 Indian win.
The second set was very
similar to the first, as the Indians got in front 3-0 before
Paulding took its only lead of
the game at 7-5.
Fort Recovery answered
with a 9-2 run, ignited by kills
from Siefring and freshman
Cassidy Martin, to post a 14-9
advantage.
Paulding rallied to tie the
set at 15-15 but it was all Indians from that point on. The
visitors closed the set on a
10-5 run as Siefring and Jutte
each posted two kills down the
stretch of the 25-20 victory.
The girls did a good job of
responding there in the third
set, Early added. We didnt
give up and we kept playing
hard. I thought we came out
and played much more like the
way we have played all season
there in the third set.
Paulding picked up two early kills from Cassidy Posey
along with single slams by
Varner and Meggison along
with a Kelsey Beck ace for a
quick 5-3 advantage.
Fort Recovery tied the set
at 10-10 before the Panthers
answered with three straight
points for a 13-10 lead.
With the Panthers on top
20-15, the maroon-and-white
picked up an ace by Posey
along with a Vogel slam for a
22-15 lead. Fort Recovery put
together a 7-1 run, the lone
Panther point coming on a
Varner kill, to get within 2322 before the local squad put
the set away.

The Panthers then finished
off the game with kills from
Vogel and Beck, sealing a 2522 victory.
Paulding opened the fourth
set with five straight points,
using two Beck aces and kills
from Beck and Varner, but the
Indians would respond.
Fort Recovery then became
the aggressor, scoring ten of
the games next dozen points,
to grab a 10-7 advantage and
the Indians would never look
back.
The Panthers did answer for
a 14-13 lead on a Beck kill but
a 6-1 Indian run made it 19-15
Fort Recovery.

Division IV Volleyball
Archers in the groove with win over Fayette

By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
ANTWERP Following
their opening round tournament win Antwerps sophomore Rachel Williamson
stood near center court and
commented about the huge
win over Fayette.
The Archers grounded the
Eagles in three sets 25-23,
25-12, 25-13. Fayette had entered the contest with a seven-game winning streak.
Williamson, who delivered
a stunning tip play late in
the third game that left the
Fayette teammates frozen as
the ball hit the floor, was excited about the way her team
played.
Following what seems to
be a customary slow start for
Antwerp, the third seed Lady
Archers responded in dominating fashion.
This win was good for us
because we have had some
sickness and injuries. Emily
(Derck) missed some school
with the flu, Peyton Short had
a little tweak in her ankle and
Sydney Sheedy was unable
to play due to some nagging
injuries. It took us a while to
work out the kinks but once
we got through the first game

we were fine, said coach
Hammer.
With the win, the Archers
will move on and is scheduled to play Pettisville at 8
p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 27 at
Defiance. Prior to the 8 p.m.
match up will be Ayersville
and Hicksville squaring off.
The winners of both matches
will return on Thursday for
the Defiance district championship.
At the Archbold Spiketacular a few weeks ago, the
Pettisville Blackbirds tangled
with the Lady Archers with
the Blackbirds escaping with
a 25-20, 23-25, 16-25 win.
Tonight, once we got in
the groove, we were set, said
Williamson.
As the team leader, Williamson used her skills
against Fayettes front line
and recorded 15 kills and
three blocks.
The tip play will work
but you have to have know
when to use it. Its both instincts and timing and when
it comes together we usually
can score a point, Williamson said.
In the first game, both
2015 NWC
Archer boys advance to regional meet
Soccer
Teams
squads battled throughout

with the Archers leading
by as many as three and the
Eagles holding their largest
advantage at just two points.
An Emily Derck kill put the
blue-and-white on top 1613 but a 4-0 run by Fayette,
capped off by a kill from
Kaela Seiler, had the visitors
from up north back on top.
Still trailing by one at 2019 the Archers answered
with a Kiana Recker kill and
two non-returnable serves
by Derck to put the Archers
in front 22-20 a lead they
would not relinquish.
In game two, the blue-andwhite bolted out to a 6-1 advantage and never trailed in
their 25-12 win.
A Recker kill doubled up
the score at 14-7 forcing the
Eagles to take a timeout.
However, the Archers were
never threatened. The final
points came from kills as
freshman Kaitlyn Hamman,
Hope Smith and Derck each
delivered the closing points
for the 25-12 win.
The Lady Archers were
one game away from eliminating their opponent and in
game three head coach Amy
Hammers squad delivered

the knock out blow 25-13.
Our defense tonight was
really good. I think our play
as the games progressed took
a toll on them and it took
away their confidence, said
coach Hammer. Our blockers wore them down and the
play of Longardner, Recker,
Braaten and freshman Kaitlyn Hamman was all very
solid. Everyone stepped up
and played hard.
After trailing early, the
Archers managed to knot the
score at three apiece and then
continued to build their lead.
As a part of an 8-0 run,
Williamson connected on
back-to-back kills to put
the Archers in control 135. Later in the set with
the blue-and-white holding
an eight-point margin at 17-9,
Derck added a kill followed
by a Recker kill, and a Hope
Smith return that the Eagles
could not touch. Audrie Longardner added a deep unreturnable serve to put the 18-5
Archers on top 21-9.
The final point came when

WAYNE TRACE LOCAL SCHOOLS - NOVEMBER 2015 NEWSLETTER

SUPERINTENDENTS MESSAGE
By STEPHEN ARNOLD
MESSAGES FROM THE PRINCIPALS
How quickly the first grading period has come

and gone at Wayne Trace Local Schools. Thank
you to everyone who has helped to make the
start of the 2015-2016 school year so positive.
Educating our youth is a team effort, and maintaining cooperation between school personnel
and community members is a top priority as we
continue to make this a great school district.
With that said, we continue to encourage
parents, grandparents, and other care-givers to
develop and maintain a positive relationship with
your childrens teachers, principals, and staff
members. As a district, our faculty and staff
members make a concerted effort to send positive news home as often as possible through a
variety of Good News methods, with the hope
that we continue to work as a team with our
students parents. Remember that not every
moment of every school day is going to be
A Rose Garden, as much work is expected of
todays students. But a positive two-way street
between school and home is certain to make
school as academically and socially-rewarding as
possible.
Along the same lines, I encourage you to visit
the school web-site and take a look at a new
feature known as Whos Telling Your Story?
This web page, which can be found under the tab
Administration, is a compilation of stories submitted by several members of the Wayne Trace
staff highlighting the many great educational
events happening in our schools this year. We
would love to hear your feedback on this new
web page.
Safety also continues to be a top priority at all
three of our school buildings, and each of our
principals, teachers and staff members work hard
at organizing and practicing the necessary safety
drills needed in case something unforeseen
would happen at school. Statistics show that
there is no place safer than a school building, and
we believe that students at Wayne Trace are as
safe at school as any place else they can be.
Unfortunately, todays social media world has
opened the door for people of all ages to make
statements to one another that they may not
make to someones face. Because of this phenomena, school leaders are incessantly proactive
in working with students to treat all people with
respect. Treating other people with respect is
everyones responsibility.
In academic news, we appreciate the communitys cooperation with our professional development schedule so far this school year, as this
time is very valuable in keeping up with the
always-changing world of technology. In addition, our teachers and administrative staff continue to work hard at adapting to the changes
coming from the Ohio Department of Education,
and this collaboration time is an essential part of
the Ohio Improvement Process. So as a
reminder, we have two-hour delays scheduled
for November 13, December 11, January 15,
February 12, March 11, and April 22; and a fullday teacher in-service scheduled for March 24.
In other academic news, the 21st Century Grant
after-school tutoring program is off and running.
Students must qualify for this program. If you
received a letter earlier in the year stating that
your child has qualified for this program, you may
still enroll your child in the program at no cost to
you. Transportation to Payne and Grover Hill is
also available this year for the students in this
program. If you have questions about the 21st
Century program, contact our program coordinator, Mrs. Ashley Shepherd, at Western Buckeye
ESC (419-399-4711).
Parents are reminded that parent-teacher conferences are scheduled for October 28-29, and
school will not be in session on October 29-30. If
you need more information concerning parentteacher conferences, contact the building principals office at your child(ren)s schools.
As always, if you have questions or concerns
about your childs educational experience at
Wayne Trace, feel free to contact your building
principal or superintendent.
Go Raiders!
SUBSTITUTE BUS DRIVERS NEEDED
We are currently seeking individuals interested
in becoming bus drivers who possess good driving skills, a strong work ethic, and dedication.
Interested individuals should be available from
6:00-9:00 a.m. and 2:30-4:45 p.m. for bus routes
or from 3:00-9:00 p.m. for activities.
Licensed bus drivers must go through the training process, pass a physical, pass a preemployment drug screening, and have a clean
background check. Other rules and qualifications
are laid out in the Ohio Pupil Transportation
Operation and Safety Rules that can be found at
www.ode.state.oh.us.
For more information, please call Amy Noggle,
WT Transportation Director, at 419-263-2512 ext.
405 or by email at: noggle@wt.k12.oh.us.
WT PAYNE ELEMENTARY
Jody Dunham, Principal
Great things are happening at WTPE and we
welcome you to join us in these opportunities!
November is going to be a very busy month at
WTPE. The community is invited to join us on
November 11 for our Veterans Day program at
1:30 p.m. in the auditorium. Veterans are invited
to join us for a complimentary lunch that day.
Please call 419-263-2512 for lunch reservations.
COSI on Wheels is coming to WTPE on Thursday, November 12, with the program
Astounding Astronomy. This assembly has
been provided through a Monsanto Grant that
area farmers submitted on our behalf. The day
will begin with a building-wide assembly followed
by hands on learning centers that all students will
participate in throughout the school day.
A sincere thank you goes out to all of the families that attended parent-teacher conferences.
We value the opportunity to work together with
families to support and enhance the education of
their child(ren). We also wish to thank the Payne
Volunteer Fire Department for providing the
students with a fire safety program on October
21. The fire department also led the student
body in the annual Fall Costume Parade on October 23. We appreciate their support each school
year!
Volunteers are needed for Grades Preschool
through Six classrooms. Some of the things that
volunteers may be asked to do with students
include: practice math facts flashcards, listen to
students read, practice sight words flashcards,
help students practice writing their name, numbers or letters. If you are excited about making a
difference in a students life, please send an
email to dunhamj@wt.k12.oh.us or call
419-263-2512.
The second way that volunteers can make a
difference is by joining the PTO. Families and
community members are encouraged to join the
PTO. The PTO meets the first Wednesday of each
month in the Art Room at 4:00 p.m. More information about the PTO can be found on our
school webpage.
Families are reminded that they may complete
Free and Reduced Lunch Applications throughout
the school year. Forms for this process are available in our school office. If a student qualifies for
free and reduce lunches, they may enroll in our
building-wide Blessings in a Bag program. Blessings in a Bag provides food to students each
weekend. An application is available on our website and in our office.
As always, thank you for your continued support!
WT GROVER HILL ELEMENTARY
Kevin Wilson, Principal
At this time of year as the leaves begin to turn
and the weather begins to change November is
not far off. Each year as November arrives the
school year seems to become very busy. The first
quarter is over, many of the beginning year
assessments are complete, and now we transition into many different school activities while at
the same time continuing to work hard in the
classroom.
One such activity is Veterans Day. On November 11, the Grover Hill staff and students will be
taking time out of their busy day to honor our
Veterans. The WTGH Student Council is working
hard to put this program together. The Veterans
Day program will begin at 10:00 a.m. We, the
staff and student, would like to invite all Veterans
to join us for this special program on Wednesday,
November 11. After the program, we would like
all Veterans to stay and join us for lunch. All
Veterans lunches will be free of charge. Providing this meal is a small way for us to say THANK
YOU for your service to our country. We look
forward to seeing you on November 11.
Also at this time Mrs. Wieland and her students
in grades four, five, and six have begun preparations for this years Christmas program. Mrs.
Wieland and her students have selected the
program A Pirate Christmas and are working on
auditioning students for the cast. The date for
this years program Thursday, December 8. The
first performance is at 2:00 and the second
performance is at 7:00. We hope you are able to
attend one of these two performances.
During Parent/Teacher conferences on October
28 and 29, many parents were able to discuss
their childs progress with the teachers. If, for
some reason, you were unable to attend these
conferences, you may contact the Grover Hill
Elementary Office, and schedule a conference.
This year at Grover Hill a special day called VIP
Day has been added. VIP Day is a chance for the
student to invite a very important person or
VIP to visit them at school. So far this year we
have held VIP Day for both kindergarten and
sixth grade. Both days were very successful and
well attended. During the month of November
we will have our second grade VIP Day. The date
for the second grade VIP Day is Wednesday,

November 18.
Parents, mark your calendars. On November
12, Grover Hill Elementary will be hosting Reading Under the Stars from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. at the
school. Reading Under the Stars will be a fun
night of reading activities for all Grover Hill
students, their parents/guardians, and siblings.
Activities will include: campsite reading, games,
and comprehension ideas to try at home. A free,
camping-themed, light supper will be served.
This literacy night is brought to you by the PTO,
Grover Hill staff, and the Title I reading program.
In closing, I would like to take this opportunity
to wish you a safe and Happy Thanksgiving.
WT JR./SR. HIGH SCHOOL

Phil Nofziger, Principal
I trust that you and your child have had a
positive start to the school year. Grade cards
have been issued and parent-teacher conferences scheduled; however, you can keep open
the communication lines with your childs
teacher throughout the year by calling and emailing. Likewise, I encourage all staff to communicate with parents on a regular and ongoing basis.
The most important factor for student success is
having parents who are involved and who care
about his/her education.
If you have not received your childs grade card
and/or do not have access to his/her grades via
progress book, check to see if you have paid your
childs book fees. If you are unsure, call the high
school office to find out what you owe.
A number of events will occur in the month of
November. On Friday, November 6, the Student
Council is hosting its annual Red Cross Blood
Drive from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in the junior
high gymnasium. To schedule your donation
appointment, visit www.redcross.org.
The annual Veterans Day program will be held
on November 12 at 8:00 a.m. in the high school
gymnasium. The public is invited to attend this
inspiring assembly.
On Thursday, November 12, the eighth grade
students will tour Vantage Career Center. While
students do not make the decision to attend
Vantage until their sophomore year, this tour
motivates students to begin thinking about
future career options.
Another special program that will take place in
November is the National Honor Society induction ceremony on November 24 at 1:55 p.m.
Junior and senior students who meet the criteria
in scholarship, character, service, and leadership
will be honored.
As always, I want to thank the community for
its outstanding support of all the activities involving our students at Wayne Trace High School.
Go Raiders!
Schoology
Schoology is a learning management system.
Teachers can post assignments, share helpful
websites for their curriculum, and collect work
from students. Students can engage in a discussion board with other students, check on assignments when they are absent, and learn 21st Century learning skills. Learning these skills will be
essential for those going to college as most
colleges use a learning management system.
All JH/HS students have a Schoology account.
Several teachers use Schoology on a daily basis.
Students are encouraged to check their Schoology accounts to see the lessons for the day plus
any homework that is assigned.
Parents can also be involved with Schoology.
All junior high students have been given a parent
letter that tells about Schoology. This letter also
had parent codes for each student so parents can
be in the know in regards to lessons and homework. If you are a parent of a high school student
and would like a code, please contact one of his/
her teachers.
WT Senior Named Commended Student

ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT NEWS
The Wayne Trace Athletic Department is offering Parent Ads again for the 2015-16 Winter
Sports Program. Parents may purchase an ad
for your jr. high/high school student. It can be as
simple as Good Luck or you can add recent
photos or childhood photos, artwork, etc. Digital
photos (such as those taken by Gibbys* for
Sports Picture Day at Wayne Trace) work best.
Other photos can be scanned, but the quality is
not as high. 1/4 page, 1/2 page, and full page ads
are available. The Athletic Department reserves
the right to edit all ads. You may purchase an ad
regardless of whether or not your student is
involved in sports. For more information, call
the HS (ext. 213) or email: kipferd@wt.k12.oh.us
