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-

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

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.

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-

A Penny for
Your Thoughts
By

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-

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

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.

SUPERINTENDENTS MESSAGE
Dear Friends of the Paulding Exempted Village
Schools,
The first quarter of the 2015-16 school year has
concluded with the last day being Friday October
23, 2015. Fall Parent-Teacher Conferences will be
held on November 5 and November 10, 2015
from 4 to 7 pm at all of our buildings. Please try
to connect with our staff and find ways to help
your children going into the 2nd quarter of the
grading period which in turn will help all of us
prepare for the rigor of our curriculum. The fall
sports season is finishing up and we are preparing
to start the winter season for all of our athletes.
We will be going into our second year of the new
state testing during the 2015-16 school year. Students will be taking the Ohio State Tests this
school year and like last year, they will all be
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
of events in this newsletter, or check out our website for upcoming events. Most programs and concerts are free and it is not too late for our district
residents, 65 years and older, to stop at the administration building and pick up a senior citizen pass
for free admission to all athletic events.
As always, I invite you to become an active part
of our school district and to get involved in the
lives of our young people by attending as many of
the student activities as your schedule allows.
Please feel free to visit me at my office in the
Paulding Administration office, call me at 419399-4656
or
e-mail
me
at
w_hanak@pauldingschools.org at your convenience if you have any questions about our
school district or anything in this community
newsletter.

of their nephew, played by Christine Clapsaddle
who thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt; and the activities of the other nephew, played by Christopher
Elderwho is trying to save his Aunts from going
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".

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
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.

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.

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
