WAPAKONETA Wayne
Traces defense stole the show
Friday night at Harmon Field
in Wapakoneta as the Raiders
held Mechanicsburg to 52
rushing yards through three
quarters and cruised to a 57-
10 victory over the Indians.
With the victory, the red,
white and blue advance to
take on Kirtland (14-0), the
Associated Press poll champi-
on for Division VI. The
Hornets and Raiders will
square off at 11 a.m. on Friday
at Fawcett Stadium in Canton
in the Division VI state cham-
pionship.
While the Raider offense
has dominated throughout this
playoff run, it was the Raider
defense that stole the show
against the Indians.
Wayne Trace completely
shut down a Mechanicsburg
rushing attack that averaged
280 yards per game but fin-
ished with only 146 against
the Raiders.
Our defense was outstand-
ing tonight, noted Raider
head coach Bill Speller.
After the first two plays, we
just shut them down and it
took them out of their game
plan.
Indians running back
Aeryton Erwin gained 47
yards on Mechanicsburgs
first two plays but Wayne
Trace would allow only five
more yards over 15 plays in
the first three quarters.
It was a tremendous effort
defensively, continued the
Raider mentor. It was a total
team effort on that side of the
ball and they just stepped up
and made play after play
tonight.
While the Raider defense
was dominating Mechanics -
burg, the red, white and blue
offense was playing pretty
well, too.
After the Indians won the
coin toss but elected to defer,
Wayne Trace took the ball and
proceeded to march down the
field in five plays before find-
ing the end zone.
Jared Sherry finished off
the drive, running 17 yards to
put Wayne Trace on top 8-0
with 10:07 left in the opening
stanza.
The Indians closed to with-
in 8-3 on a 34-yard Brandon
Purk field goal but that would
be all of the Mechanicsburg

Meth lab bust nets 3 arrests
PAULDING Three individuals are in cus-
tody following a meth lab bust last Wednesday
morning in Paulding.
According to Sheriff Jason Landers, deputies
with the Paulding County Sheriffs Office
along with investigators from the West Central
Ohio Crime Task Force executed a search war-
rant on Rita Street in Paulding on Nov. 27.
The search warrant was for a suspected meth
lab inside the residence located at 13570 Rita
Street in the Emerald Acres subdivision.
Arrested at the scene were Joshua P. Smith,
age 36, Jonathan C. Hornish, age 24, and
Cassandra R. Crites, age 30. All are from
Paulding.
Preliminary charges filed on the suspects in-
clude possession of drugs, assembly of chemi-
cals to produce methamphetamine and felony
child endangering.
During the execution of the search warrant,
investigators located Crites with her 10-year-
old daughter inside the residence. Investigators
worked with Paulding Job & Family Services
social worker investigators to properly care for
the juvenile.
I appreciate everyones efforts today. This
investigation has been ongoing for several
months, said Landers. I enjoy the coopera-
tion from Job & Family Services investigators
as they acted quickly to take good care of the
juvenile that resides in the residence. All folks
involved worked together to make Emerald
Acres neighborhood a little safer for the holi-
days.
The investigation continues in regards to this
case. More charges are expected to be filed at
the December session of the county grand jury.
If anyone has information regarding drug ac-
tivity or any other crime, please contact the
sheriffs office at 419-399-3791. Leave infor-
mation via Facebook by searching

PAULDING On Mon -
day afternoon, Paulding
Coun ty Sheriff Jason Lan -
ders issued the following
press release:
In attempt to keep the cit-
izens informed, I would like
to report BCI&Is finding in
regards to the shoe that was
found in the old Paulding
County Jail on Oct. 11, 2013.
It was believed the shoe
might have been missing evi-
dence in relationship to a
1960 unsolved murder of
Nancy Eagleson.
The shoe was tested at
BCI for potential biological
evidence. The report this of-
fice recently received from
BCI states no DNA profile
was obtained from the shoe.
This investigation remains
open.
If anyone has information
regarding this case, contact
the sheriffs office at 419-
399-3791. You can also leave
information via Facebook by
s e a r c h i n g
Facebook/Paulding County
Sheriffs Office; go to
www.pauldingohsheriff.com
and leave an email for the
sheriff; or leave an anony-
mous tip via the website by
scrolling to the bottom of any
page and clicking on send us
an anonymous tip.
Asked if BCI investigators
were able determine anything
else about the shoe, such as
age, Landers responded,
When I submitted it they
could only look for biological
evidence and thats all they
were going to do.
Eagleson, at age 14, was
abducted, raped and shot to
death on Nov. 13, 1960. The
abduction occurred while she
and her younger sister were
walking home from the
movies in Paulding. Evidence
and personal effects, includ-
ing her shoes, have been
missing for several years. In
October, the new owners of
the old jail were digging in
the basement and uncovered a
shoe and a few other items.
after the family examined the
shoe and determined it ap-
peared to be similar to ones
worn by Nancy Eagleson on
that fateful evening.
Sheriff: No DNA
obtained on shoe
found in old jail

PAULDING According to
Paulding County Auditor
Claudia Fickel, 2014 dog tags
went on sale Monday, Dec. 2
with new options. They in-
clude the following:
One-year tag, $15
Three-year tag, $45
New permanent tag for
$150.
Paulding County dog li-
censes for 2014 are available
on sale, as of Monday, said
Fickel. Due to change in the
law, three-year or permanent
licenses are available for your
dog in addition to the one-year
license.
Owners should be aware
that these long-term licenses
are not refundable and may
not be transferred from dog to
dog.
Fickel noted that the fee for
a kennel license is $75, but if
purchased late (after Jan. 31,
2014), the fee will increase to
$150.
The auditor noted that as a
convenience to the public, dog
licenses may be purchased on-
line at www.paulding-

DHI Correspondent
OTTAWA A contract approved
last month between the Putnam
County and Paulding County com-
missioners will provide a steady, con-
sistent stream of money for the
Putnam Countys Adult Detention
Center. Putnam County has agreed to
house Paulding County prisoners for
$250,000 annually through Dec. 31,
2015.
In the past, Putnam County
charged Paulding County a set fee
per night and per prisoner for housing
out-of-county prisoners.
The new contract was designed
like some counties who have agree-
ments with another county that is a
flat rate for so many beds, whether
they are full or not, said Putnam
County Commissioner John Love.
He said the figure is consistent and
not based on the number of prisoners
housed in Putnam County.
According to figures from the
Putnam County Auditors office,
Paulding County paid Putnam
County $239,865.94 to house prison-
ers at the Putnam County Adult
Detention Center in 2012.
As of Nov. 19, 2013, Paulding
County had paid $303,426.
For Paulding County Sheriff Jason
Landers, the agreement came down
to dollars and cents.
Known prisoner population is
what caused me to attempt to save
our taxpayers money. Projected pop-
ulation can only be guessed off of
past numbers and that was my moti-
vator, Landers said.
Love said earlier this year, Putnam
County Sheriff Michael Chandler ex-
pressed concerns to the Putnam
County commissioners that Paulding
County officials were considering
housing their prisoners in another
county if they could save money.
Love said Putnam County officials
wanted to keep this revenue stream
and also felt Putnam County had a
good working relationship with
Paulding County on housing the pris-
oners.
Following discussions between
Putnam and Paulding county offi-
cials, Commissioners Love and
Travis Jerwers, along with Sheriff
Chan dler, met with the Paulding
County commissioners and their sher-
iff to work out a contract. This meet-
ing was held in executive session.
At the conclusion of the session, an
agreement was reached where
Paulding County will pay Putnam
County quarterly installments of
$62,500 until the end of 2015.
Love said Paulding County will
begin paying the set quarterly fee for
the last quarter of 2013.
Im happy with the deal, Love
said. It gives our sheriff a set rev-
enue figure for the next two years and
it gives Paulding County a budget
number for expenses.
Commissioner Vince Schroeder
said he voted no on the proposal be-
cause of the amount.
I still wanted to keep prisoners
here but said I would only approve a
contract for $300,000 or more.
Schroeder said he was basing that
figure on the amount received by
Putnam County from Paulding
County during the first three quarters
of 2013.
The numbers are going up and I
felt we should have asked for more in
the contract, Schroeder said.
Paulding County was the only
source of income for housing out-of-
county prisoners in 2012. During
2013, Wood County, Van Wert
County, Defiance County, Defiance
Police Department and Wyandot
County used the Putnam County
Adult Detention Center to house their
prisoners.
According to figures from the au-
ditors office, Putnam County re-
ceived $40,821 as of Nov. 19, 2013
from these counties. This is in addi-
tion to the $303,426 paid by Paulding
County.
We have spent over $300,000 to
Putnam County this year in out-hous-
ing costs. I dont see our inmate num-
bers decreasing in the coming years,
Landers said. This agreed-upon pay-
ment of $250,000 annually will allow
me to budget a solid number for my
out-housing expense, and potentially
save Paulding County over $50,000 a
year.
So far this year, the daily inmate
average is over 20, compared to
13.54 in 2011 and 15.74 in 2012.
Landers said he approached
Sheriff Chandler to let him know he
planned to pursue options to seek a
better deal for out-housing inmates,
due to cost. Landers also met with
Sheriff Thomas Riggenbach in Van
Wert County to seek an offer from
him for holding inmates.
While that was happening, Sheriff
Chandler contacted me to present me
with an offer. This $250,000 offer
came to me from Putnam County,
and Sheriff Riggenbach could not
match it, Landers said.
I am very pleased with the deal,
and I believe the commissioners are
as well, Landers noted. We would
have to go back to our lowest year in
20 years, as far as daily inmate aver-
age, to see a substantial loss, and my
projections are thats not going to
happen. Please understand this is an
educated guess and inmate numbers
could go up or down.
Does the two-year agreement end
any discussions on reopening the
Paulding County Jail?
Absolutely not, Landers stated.
We made sure there is a sentence in
the MOU (memorandum of under-
standing) that states, In the event
Paulding reopens its jail facility, it
may terminate this agreement by pro-
viding Putnam with written notice 90
days prior to the termination date.

margin at 30-3.
It was a big possession,
added the Raider mentor.
Any time you can score right
before halftime, it is a big mo-
mentum shift.
Wayne Trace then sealed
any doubt on the opening
drive, started by an Austin
Kuhn recovery of the second
half kickoff at the Indian 36.
Six plays later, Speice
hooked up with Showalter on
a 13-yard touchdown toss that
gave the Raiders a 36-3 lead.
The Raiders added a Speice
touchdown pass to Arend
from three-yards out in
widening the margin to 44-3
with 5:31 left in the third
quarter.
Speice then concluded his
night with an eight-yard toss
to Arend for another score,
setting the advantage at 50-3
entering the final stanza.
I am so proud of these
kids and coaches, concluded
Speller. They have put in a
tremendous amount of time
and effort. Its an honor to
represent the Wayne Trace
community and the Green
Meadows Conference and
weve got one more game to

Gabe Wobler found Cole
Shepherd on a 35-yard scor-
ing strike for the Raiders final
score in the contest.
Speice finished the night
with 347 yards passing, com-
pleting 30 of 46 passes. Jared
Sherry ran for 115 yards on

Wayne Trace pushed the

Korbin Showalter before a
momentum killing score to
end the half.
Taking over at their own
10-yard line with 3:38 left in
the half, the red, white and
blue drove 90 yards in 17
plays, culminating the posses-
sion on a Speice one-yard
plunge for a touchdown as
time expired.
Speice then hooked up with
Jake Arend to set the halftime
offense through three quar-
ters.
Meanwhile, the Raiders
scored on their second pos-
session as well. Senior quar-
terback scrambled nine-yards
to put Wayne Trace on top 16-

We were able to answer
their scoring drive and that
was a big score, Speller con-

to put the pressure back on
them and then our defense

The Amish Cook
By: Lovina Eicher
Son Benjamin is in his last
year of school and daughter
Loretta has only one more
after this one.
I treasure evenings when
we all gather around our table
to eat supper. Everyone
shares about how their days
went. Making memories! The
girls enjoy singing as they
wash the supper dishes. It
makes you want to stay right
in this stage of life. We know
it wont always be like this,
but trust the Lord will guide
us through the years. Time
does not stand still for any-
one.
I probably baked my first
and last gooseberry pie. It
was not a hit with Joe and the
children. I wasnt too fond of
the gooseberry taste, but am
glad I got to try it.
Today is laundry day. It
looks like we will have to
hang it in the basement.
Looks like rain.
We had a storm go through
Sunday afternoon while we
were at Jacob and Emmas
house after church services.
The tornado sirens in the
nearby town went off.
We had a few days of sun-
shine this week. The girls
took advantage of it and
raked up the rest of the leaves
in our yard. We still have
some here and there, but the
most part of them are picked
up. What a relief before the
weather gets too much
cooler!
Daughter Elizabeth is off
all week from the factory and
the school-age children will
only have a three day school
week. I bought two turkeys
for our Thanksgiving dinner.
Both are around 20 pounds. I
have only one oven, so hope-
fully I can figure out a way to
cook both at the same time.
It seems like after Thanks-
giving Day is over Christmas
seems really close already.
Every year just seems to go
faster than the one before.
Every year we are all another
year older.
Our third oldest child, Ver-
ena, will be 16 in a few
weeks. I cannot believe she is
that old already. Next year,
daughter Elizabeth, will leave
her teenage years. Daughter
Susan will turn 18 in January.
On Monday, this area was
without electricity, so the
public school was closed for
the day. The children were
excited to have a day off.
Everything looked dark out-
side Monday morning with
all the neighbors yard lights
out.
How thankful we are when
a bad storm passes through
and not much damage. Other
areas were not quite so fortu-
nate. May God be with them
and His blessings to all and
everyone have a wonderful
and blessed Thanksgiving
Day.
This is a great soup for a
cold winters day after all the
turkey leftovers are gone!
CABBAGE SOUP
A couple meaty beef bones
1 small head cabbage
(chopped)
4 big carrots (chopped)
12 stalks celery
2 onions (chopped)
4 6 potatoes (chopped)
2 quarts tomato chunks
Cook until all is tender. In-
stead of using beef bones,
chunks of beef can also be
used.

Brown Thursday
or Thanksgiving?
There was a time when we had a holiday that happened on
the last Thursday of November and we called it Thanksgiv-
ing. As a boy, growing up in Melrose (thats a little village
on the eastern side of Paulding County), we started this day
at 9 a.m. with my uncles and dad hunting for wild rabbits
and pheasants while my aunts and mom prepared the
Thanksgiving meal. About
noon we gathered in a circle,
talked about what we were
thankful for, gave thanks,
and then ate a wonderful
Thanksgiving meal.
The Thanksgiving holiday
has really changed over the
years! Some non-retail work-
ers still get time off work for the holiday, but a large number
of people, including my son, has been scheduled for work
every day of the holiday and weekend.
The day after Thanksgiving has been given the name
Black Friday. Thats right it has not always been called
Black Friday. According to Wikipedia, the name origi-
nated in Philadelphia about 1961, and began to see broader
use outside Philadelphia around 1975. It originally was used
to describe the heavy and disruptive pedestrian and vehicle
traffic which would occur on the day after Thanksgiving.
Later, some say as late as 2005, an alternative explanation
was made because retailers traditionally operated at a finan-
cial loss from January through November, and Black Fri-
day indicated the point at which retailers begin to turn a
profit, or begin operating in the black. Today the notion of
huge sales and all the favorite gifts being available in limited
numbers has given retailers a marketing tool to get shoppers
into their stores in vast numbers on the day after Thanksgiv-
ing. Estimates are that Americans will spend a record 20 bil-
lion dollars this year on Black Friday.
Whats this I hear? There now is a shopping day before
Black Friday, the day that used to be Thanksgiving, we are
calling Brown Thursday? On Nov. 21, 2013, late night co-
median, Jimmy Kimmel, simply shook his head and stated,
This is not happening. We are not calling it Brown Thurs-
day. It already has a name, its Thanksgiving! Thats the
name of the day.
Too late, the term Brown Thursday is everywhere and
retailers are picking up on the burst of energy that seems to
be sweeping the nation by opening their retail outlets at 8
p.m. on Thanksgiving, which is now being called Brown
Thursday. There are rumors that some retailers will not
close at all.
Wake up America, there is more to life than shopping!
Lets take some time to give thanks to God our Creator for
all our blessed gifts! I do hope to see you in church this Sun-
day. We might have something in common.

Paulding Council works
on year-end legislation
By BILL SHERRY
Correspondent
PAULDING Paulding Village Council
met on Monday, Dec. 2 and acted on several
pieces of legislation.
Council heard the first reading of Ordinance
1468-13, amending the current income tax or-
dinance 1239-00, adopted on Dec. 18, 2000.
The proposed ordinance would amend sec-
tions 1, 3, 4 and 11
Council scheduled a committee of the
whole meeting to discuss the financial items
of the income tax ordinance and budget appro-
priations for 5:30 p.m. on Dec. 12. There was
a comment that this could be a long meeting.
Council continued with legislation by unan-
imously voting to table Ordinance 1465-13
amending appropriations for 2013, and Ordi-
nance 1466-13 for permanent appropriations
for 2014. These two budgeting ordinances will
be discussed at the upcoming committee of the
whole meeting next week. It was commented
that council would like to enact the two appro-
priation ordinances at their next regular coun-
cil meeting.
Council voted unanimously to enact Ordi-
nance 1467-13, which reappoints Michael C.
Jones as village solicitor.
Council also unanimously voted to enact
Resolution 1287-13 authorizing the purchase
of supplies for the village for 2014. These sup-
plies include things like bituminous materials,
stone aggregate, soda ash, liquid chlorine,
copper sulfate, dust laying oil, and service
work on various sewer and water distribution
lines, repair and improvement of various
streets and traffic control equipment.
Recreation committee chairman Mike
Trausch advised council that Brett Kauser had
called and asked if the ball association could
get a few more No Smoking signs for Jef-
fery Park to help with enforcement.
Trausch reported that the committee had fi-
nalized a maintenance agreement for the SAY
Soccer League and asked Jones to make one
last change prior to enactment.
Trausch also told council that the committee
discussed possible ways about cleaning and
refurbishing the backwash tanks at the swim-
ming pool and how to make the pool run more
efficiently. The tanks in question are sand fil-
ters that filter out the particulates from the
pool water. Trausch commented, We will be
looking into options for getting the tank
cleaned once we evaluate its condition.
Mayor Greg White reported that the pro-
ceeds from Mayors Court for the month of
November totaled $3,617.16.
The next regularly scheduled meeting will
be 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 16.
Gov. Kasich authorizes state
disaster relief for Cloverdale
COLUMBUS On Nov.
26, Governor John R. Kasich
authorized use of State Disas-
ter Relief funds to assist the
villages of Cloverdale (Put-
nam County) and Jerry City
(Wood County) as they con-
tinue to recover from the se-
vere storms and tornadoes
that impacted Ohio on Nov.
17.
Ive reached out to local
officials across the impacted
areas to make sure the state is
doing all we can to help our
neighbors get back on their
feet, said Kasich.
Both Cloverdale and Jerry
City are in need of some ad-
ditional assistance, so were
going to help them get
through this and will continue
to monitor the situation in
case future needs arise.
The State Disaster Relief
Program is an authorized re-
imbursement program in-
tended to provide assistance
to local governments and eli-
gible private non-profits or-
ganizations for costs
associated with debris re-
moval, emergency protective
measures and permanent
work.
The Ohio Emergency Man-
agement Agency (Ohio
EMA) continues to work with
local communities in affected
areas to determine the impact
of the severe storms and tor-
nadoes.
On Sunday, Nov. 17, the
Ohio EMA began monitoring
potential severe weather
throughout the state. The
State Emergency Operations
Center (SEOC) was activated
and the SEOC Assessment
room was staffed around the
clock from Nov. 17 through
Nov. 19.
A line of severe thunder-
storms moved across Ohio
during the afternoon and con-
tinued moving east with a
constant string of intense ac-
tivity into the evening. At its
peak, the storm packed winds
reaching 40-50 mph, with
some wind reports indicating
gusts of 75 to 85 mph. Wind
damage to buildings, trees,
and power lines was reported,
especially in the western part
of the state.
After Black Friday, Ohioans
encouraged to shop small
By Mary Kuhlman
Ohio News Connection
COLUMBUS As the commotion of Black
Friday winds down, Ohioans are being en-
couraged to remember the little guys in their
own neighborhood.
Saturday, Nov. 30 was Small Business Sat-
urday, an effort launched in recent years to cel-
ebrate and support local merchants.
Martin Golden, district director for the
Columbus district of the Small Business Ad-
ministration (SBA), says while big retailers
also are important, shoppers often get more
personal service and care when they shop
local.
They dont have the resources that bigger
companies have, clearly they dont have the
cost advantages that you see with Internet re-
tailers, he says. So, its important for people
in the area to realize that small businesses pro-
vide a valuable service in our local communi-
ties.
Last year, according to the SBA, Small
Business Saturday attracted an estimated 70
million people, who spent more than $5 billion
at independent stores.
Golden says small businesses play a vital
role in the health and well being of a commu-
nity.
The money that is spent in small busi-
nesses tends to stay in the local area, he ex-
plains. You dont have the profits that are
being made repatriated out to other parts of the
country. So, it can have I think a stronger ef-
fect on the local economy if the money is
spent in a small business.
Golden says that half the people employed
in Ohio either own or work at a small busi-
ness, with small businesses accounting for two
out of three new jobs created.
There are an estimated 28 million small
businesses nationwide.

Western Buckeye ESC
hires new treasurer
PAULDING The Western
Buckeye ESC board held a
special meeting Wednesday,
Nov. 27, at the Paulding ESC
office.
The announcement was
made that Kimberly Jones
had been hired as the new
treasurer.
Superintendent Brian Ger-
ber stated that the pool of
candidates were numerous
and very strong.
I was surprised with the
number of candidates who
applied for the position. Not
only were there numerous ap-
plicants, but the candidates
were highly qualified.
It was a tough decision,
but we believe we selected
the best candidate. The main
characteristic that separated
Kimberly Jones from the
other candidates was her non-
abrasive demeanor and her
total willingness to work
within the team concept.
We rely on each other and
work hard within the team
concept to serve our partner
districts to the best of our
ability. Our goal was to find
someone who fit into that cat-
egory and we did, said Ger-
ber.

Many Payne area families are busy decorating their homes for the Friends of the Payne Branch Library Annual Christmas Walk
which will be held this Saturday. One of the homes included in the walk is the Richard Swary home.
Paynes Christmas Walk this Saturday
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
PAYNE Many Payne
area families are busy deco-
rating their homes to greet
area residents who will be
sharing in the annual Payne
Branch Library Christmas
Walk this Saturday from 3-
7 p.m. Tickets can be pur-
chased at the library up to
the time that the walk begins
on Saturday at the library.
Its simple, but it looks
eloquent, commented
Denise Kohart at her resi-
dence located at 4594 Ohio
500 southwest of Payne.
We use a lot of greenery
and various color schemes,
said Kohart. We have sil-
ver, reds, golds and various
other schemes.
Kohart said that she and
her husband, Ken, decided
to share in this years walk
because of their apprecia-
tion and support of the work
of the Friends of the Library
in Payne. She said that she
and her husband understand
the dynamics of the busi-
ness world and all that goes
into it.
Weve always had a
business in the county, said
Kohart. This is our way of
sharing our blessing. Its a
great cause, with the money
going to the Friends of the
Library.
Dick and Rachelle Swary
have often developed an
elaborate Christmas, mainly
because of the way it draws
their family together in dec-
orating. This year there will
be at least 15 trees at their
residence located at 4837
Ohio 500, southwest of
Payne.
All three floors of the
house will be decorated,
said Rachelle Swary, who
noted that many of the trees
represent hobbies and inter-
ests of family members.
Tree themes include angel
trees, snowman trees, Victo-
rian trees, a tree with a
Zebra theme. In the kitchen,
there will be a special wine
bottle tree.
The whole family helps
decorate. Its always so ful-
filling to get together and
help each other do this. We
decorate like this way every
year, said Swary.
I hope that they have a
good turnout. This is such
an important cause, added
Swary.
Kevin and Patty Lee, who
live on the last drive on the
east side of 500 East before
arriving at Ohio 613, will
also be sharing insights into
family hobbies and interests
through the Christmas trees
spread throughout the home.
Patty Lee said that at least
nine trees will represent dif-
ferent interests of family
members. Oldest son, Cole,
will decorate his tree with
an allegiance to North Car-
olina athletics. Aiden will
have a sock monkey tree
while daughter, Brittany,
will show forth her love for
colors, pink, purple and
blue, including decorations
with feathers.
Pattys tree will be deco-
rated with owls, a special
hobby of hers.
We have a big variety of
decorations, said Lee. We
are hoping for a large turnout.
The money goes toward a
great cause. We hope to serve
more people this year than we
have in years.
Lyn Collis and her son,
Kaden, have been busy
preparing their home for vis-
itors from the community.
I love trees so we love to
decorate with trees, said
Collis. Were going to deco-
rate like we normally do. We
plan to serve hot chocolate
and cookies to those who
come.
One of Collis favorite
trees is decorated with Hall-
mark ornaments that repre-
sent family memories and
family members special
times over the years.
These represent memo-
ries that have been given to
us over the years, com-
mented Collis. This is my
first year to do this; we get
a lot of benefit from the li-
brary. We are happy to help
such a good cause.
Other homes decorated
and excited to greet visitors
are the residence of Julia
and Mitch Snyder, located at
4805 Ohio 500; Carry
Williams, 6325 Mead-
owlark Lane; and Nadine
Baumert.
Genealogy Society meets
Some interesting information about Paulding
County. Did you know?
It was formed from old Indian Territory, April
1, 1820. It was named after John Paulding, a na-
tive of Peekskill, N. Y., and one of the three militia
men who captured Major Andre in the war of the
Revolution; he died in 1818. The surface is level
and the county covered by the Black Swamp.
In 1887 the acres cultivated were 61,555: in
pasture, 6,167; woodland, 56,362; lying waste,
1,469; produced in wheat, 154,723 bushels; rye,
5,379; buckwheat, 1,056; oats, 205,373; barley,
593; corn, 478,972; broom corn, 300 lbs. brush;
meadow hay, 9,872 tons; clover hay, 2,103; pota-
toes, 30,922 bushels; tobacco, 5,050 lbs.; butter,
261,187; sorghum, 5,181 gallons; maple sugar,
430 lbs.; honey, 5,703; eggs, 335,593 dozen;
grapes, 1,400 lbs.; sweet potatoes, 207 bushels;
apples, 10,684; pears, 112; wool, 23,587 lbs.;
milch cows owned, 3,809. School census, 1888,
8,063; teachers, 186. Miles of railroad track, 75.
The Genealogy Society met on Nov. 13 with
23 members and two guests attending. Kelli
Bergheimer, O.G.S. member, shared an internet
technology presentation featuring Online Tools
to Organize and Collaborate with Your Cousins.
Using social media, blogging and other means
to find cousins, she introduced the group to MS
One Note, a place to drop information.
On Dec. 11 at 6 p.m., there will be a catered
dinner and a home-made Christmas gift exchange
at the P.C. Historical Society across from the fair-
grounds. R.S.V.Ps are required. Most of the
meetings are held at the Paulding County
Carnegie Library, ground floor meeting room
at 6:30 pm on the second Wednesday of the

STRANGE AND WEIRD FACTS
Are you constantly search-
ing for weird, random facts to
make you chuckle? I admit
that I do love to hear and read
about strange and unusual
people, places and things. So,
certain topics intrigue and fas-
cinate me.
For some reason the other
day, a friend asked me if I
knew that a turtle could
breathe out of both ends? I
thought to myself, Ha! Ha!
There is no way I am falling
for that. However, inquiring
minds want to know, so, I
took it upon myself to
Google the topic; sure
enough, turtles have that
unique ability.
The explanation is simple.
Aquatic turtles have two
sources of oxygen; one is the
normal kind, a throat cavity.
The second is a bit more pe-
culiar. They have a tissue,
similar to the throat cavity, in
two sacs near their rear end.
The turtle is lucky enough to
be able to breathe through
both its pharynx and anus.
Now, that gave me a whole
other view of the turtle and
how unique it really is. Just
think if we could do that!
Another strange fact is that
rats do not have the ability to
vomit. Yep, thats right. Rats
cant vomit, burp, or have
heartburn. This is due to the
fact that there is a strong bar-
rier between their stomach
and esophagus. Their esopha-
gus does not have the muscu-
lar strength to forcibly open
this barrier, which is needed
in order to vomit.
Since rats cannot vomit,
they have instinctively devel-
oped other strategies in order
to stay away from dangerous
foods, such as careful food
avoidance.
Did you know this? Propor-
tionally, the rhinoceros beetle
is the strongest animal on the
planet. If a human were able to
lift 850 times his or her own
weight, he or she would be
able to effortlessly lift vehicles
and more.
Although this macho beetle
may seem tough, its actually
harmless to humans; its horns
are used for mating in battles
against other males.
Now ladies, here is some
good news for us if we were
hyenas. In the hyena groups,
the lady hyenas are ranked
above the males. It seems that
female hyenas actually have
more testosterone than males,
and they use it well. The
weakest female in the clan is
higher up in rank than the
strongest male. This means
more food privileges and a
better chance of survival for
the ladies.
Female hyenas get to
choose which males to mate
with, and they dictate the
rules. But, who wants to be a
hyena? Hmmm. Maybe they
have it made.
Now here is a tidbit of infor-
mation you may not have
known. The typical sloth
sleeps an average of 15-20
hours a day. Can you imagine
sleeping that much every day?
The three-toed sloth spends
the majority of its life in a tree;
it mates in a tree, gives birth in
the tree, and sleeps for long
periods of time in trees. Per-
sonally I would get a little
bored.
Now there is a lizard, the
common basilisk, nicknamed
the Jesus Christ Lizard, and
it can run about 10-20 meters
on the water without sinking.
These adorable reptiles in the
iguana family earned the nick-
name Jesus Christ Lizard due
to the fact that they can run
very fast on top of the water
which they say is a miracle.
Here is another unusual fact
to think about. Camels have
three eyelids in order to pro-
tect themselves from blowing
sand.
Yes, its true! Two of the
camels three eyelids have
eyelashes, and the third is just
thin. I always wondered why a
camels eyes looked so
strange.
Did you know that a cock-
roach can survive for a couple
of weeks without its head? A
headless cockroach miracu-
lously still has all its stimuli,
and the only reason it dies
after a couple of weeks is be-
cause it cannot drink water.
Cockroaches can survive
pretty much everything; quite
remarkable!
For all of us, learning
strange animal facts is an in-
teresting subject that we can
go on and on about. So, the
next time you need an ice-
breaker in a conversation, just
ask someone if they knew a
turtle could breathe from both
ends.
Do you like interesting
strange facts? Do you know
any unusual habits of animals?
Do you wish we had some of
these qualities?
Let me know and Ill give
you a Penny for Your
Thoughts.

Fall gypsum may not
boost spring sulfur
By Mark Holtsberry
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
Corn growers looking for an additional
spring growing boost of sulfur from adding
applied gypsum to their soil in fall shouldnt
expect to see any lasting sulfur in spring.
While fall application of gypsum, which is
calcium sulfate, can be utilized by a fall-
planted crop, growers shouldnt expect it to be
available for future crops according to Ed
Lentz, an Ohio State University Extension
agronomist.
Lentz also states, While the agriculture in-
dustry has been promoting gypsum heavily for
its soil benefits, the negative charged sulfate
component of gypsum cant bind to soils to
ensure it will still be around for spring plant-
ing.
Because gypsum is calcium sulfate, the sul-
fate will move with water and will likely not
be present by spring planting if applied in fall.
But, growers who add elemental sulfur in fall
could expect it to convert to sulfate by corn
planting time.
According to Lentz, this is because the con-
version of elemental sulfur to sulfate takes
time. This chemical reaction will also release
hydrogen ions, which may have an acidifying
effect on the soil.
He further states, The sulfate form of sulfur
does not have an acidifying effect alone, but
the reaction of the cation with it may, such as
ammonium, where the hydrogen ions released
by the conversion of ammonium to nitrate will
gradually lower soil pH levels.
And, who said you didnt have to be smart
to be a farmer?
The Paulding United Methodist Churchs Christmas Walk will
be held from 5-8 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 8. This is one of the homes

QUESTION: My spouse
doesnt get along with my
parents and siblings. The
situation has gotten so bad
that he doesnt even want to
travel to attend our annual
Thanksgiving celebration at
my parents home. Im tired
of the tension and dissen-
sion. Can you suggest a so-
lution?
JIM: All too often, family
gatherings that are supposed
to be filled with love and
warmth end up turning into
tense, uncomfortable con-
frontations. You may have re-
signed yourselves to the fact
that things will never be
hunky-dory between your
husband and your family, but
that doesnt mean you cant
take steps that might lead to
positive change.
First, you and your hus-
band need to sit down to-
gether and discuss this
problem rationally. Its vital
that the two of you come to a
meeting of the minds over
this issue. Interactions with
extended family are an im-
portant and inevitable part of
every marriage. This is a fact
that youre going to have to
face together. Dont let it cre-
ate a wedge between the two
of you.
Perhaps it would be possi-
ble to work out a compro-
mise. For example, consider
the option of skipping certain
big family gatherings every
other year. This Thanksgiv-
ing, could you tell your fam-
ily that, while you appreciate
the invitation, you and your
husband have decided to
spend a quiet holiday with
your immediate family? This
may remove some of the
stress and tension and make it
easier for your husband to
face the family gathering next
year.
You might also go ahead
with your Thanksgiving
plans, but arrange to stay at a
local hotel rather than in your
parents home. If things be-
come absolutely unbearable
for you or your spouse, you
can politely excuse yourselves
and take refuge in the tranquil-
ity of your hotel room.
Again, the most important
thing is that you and your hus-
band agree on the course of ac-
tion. Short of a miraculous
breakthrough in your hus-
bands relationship with his in-
laws, although thats certainly
something to hope and pray
for, these are some practical
steps you can take to minimize
the holiday stress.
QUESTION: How can we
teach our daughter good
problem solving skills?
Whenever she encounters a
challenge, such as putting to-
gether Legos, she quickly
abandons it and runs to us
for help.
DR. GREG SMALLEY,
vice president, Family Min-
istries:
Teaching kids to problem
solve begins with parents mod-
eling and verbalizing how to
solve common problems.
Modeling alone is not suffi-
cient. We must explain the
process we used to arrive at the
solution. Instead of simply
having your daughter watch
you fix something around the
house, or put together Legos,
verbally walk her through the
steps.
Also, parents should praise
their kids when they attempt to
solve problems. I had a rotation
in a childrens therapeutic treat-
ment center during my doctoral
internship and residency. One
of the treatment goals was to
foster better problem solving
skills. Any time we noticed a
child working on a project, we
would say, Nice problem
solving. I like how you ... We
By Jim Daly
always encouraged their at-
tempts and explained what
they had done that was posi-
tive.
Its important to find the bal-
ance between encouraging
your kids to ask for help and
simply solving the problem for
them. One of the greatest gifts
we can give our children is to
teach them to ask questions,
but then allow them to wrestle
with the solution. If we imme-
diately solve all of their prob-
lems for them, they wont learn
how to think through the prob-
lem solving steps.
Finally, take advantage of
teachable times when your
children make mistakes. You
can use this opportunity to
probe ways they could have
handled the situation differ-
ently to get more positive re-
sults.
Winning the Battle for a Generation
By Rick Jones
exec. director, Defiance
Area Youth for Christ
Have you ever thanked God for the gift of
breathing?
Toward the end of her life my mother strug-
gled with breathing, because of her battle with
emphysema. I had an uncle, who late in his
life, also suffered from emphysema and some
work related dust that also affected his ability
to breathe. My mother in-law suffers from
COPD and occasionally has to use oxygen to
help her breathe. Have you ever thanked God
for the gift of breathing?
I read recently that we take approximately
23,000 breaths every day, but when was the
last time you thanked God for one of them?
The process of inhaling oxygen and exhal-
ing carbon dioxide is a complicated respira-
tory task that requires physiological precision.
We tend to thank God for the things that take
our breath away. And thats fine. But maybe
we should thank him for every other breath
too.
The scriptures teach us that God blew the
breath of life into the first human being, made
in His image, Adam. Clearly, the gift of draw-
ing breath is a reminder to us all where we all
drew our first breath from, the living God.
We are told in the Psalms that we are fear-
fully and wonderfully made and later in the
New Testament we are told that we are Gods
workmanship in Christ Jesus, remade in His
image to do good works, to bring honor and
glory to God.
Paul reminds us in Acts 17:25 (NIV), And
he is not served by human hands, as if he
needed anything, because he himself gives all
men life and breath and everything else.
So, how ought we to respond to God in light
of these obvious truths? The Psalmist tells us
that if we are cognizant of our utter depend-
ency, we should respond in a certain way, to
praise the Lord with our breath. Psalm 150:6
(NIV), 6. Let everything that has breath
praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.
This Thanksgiving, lets show our gratitude to
our Maker, our Master, Jesus Christ, for giving
us the gift of breathing. One more thing, for
those of us who have placed our faith in Jesus
Christ, may we be thankful for the Holy Spirit
who has breathed the breath of new life into us.

READY FOR WINTER Recently, inspection was held at the Paulding County Ohio Department
of Transportation maintenance garage. Ready Every Day is the mantra ODOT carries throughout
the winter season, but a yearly inspection helps to ensure preparation for the uncertainty of Ohio
weather. The Ohio Department of Transportation District 1 inspected its nearly 140 trucks last
week at all eight of its garages; each inspection examines 150 points of mechanical wellness on
the truck fleet. Here, Rod Nuveman, ODOT District 1 highway management administrator; Dennis
Combs, highway technician with the Paulding County ODOT garage; and Dave Scheckelhoff, fleet
manager for the ODOT District 1 main garage, discuss the Paulding County fleet during the annual
truck inspection.

house with very few people
Ive met before, but within 15
minutes, Thanksgiving 2014
seemed like the old fashioned
ones at our rural home in Indi-
ana.
Oh, geographically, it was
anything but that. It was actu-
ally in a townhouse apartment
in the close neighborhood on
Chicagos north side, not far
from the Swedish neighbor-
hood of Andersonville and just
a stones throw from Wrigley
Field.
Neighbors to our daughter,
Sandi, just across the hall from
her apartment, had invited our
family, neighbors just up the
stairs and several people in the
area who might not have had a
place to go for Thanksgiving,
were it not for their kindness.
In all, there were 17 of us, 12
that I had never met before.
Upon entering, I met Marshall,
a surgical assistant, Christa,
who works for an underprivi-
leged people downtown, Den-
nis, struggling with physical
issues but hosting Bible studies
in his apartment three after-
noons a week, Katie, a Moody
graduate delving into the arts
and Honey, who quickly
proved to be the life of the
party.
Of course, there was Joel
and Susan, who provided the
turkey with all of the trim-
mings, not to mention decorat-
ing several tables pushed
together through two full
rooms of their home, their three
children, Juliet, a social worker,
David and Beth, gracious own-
ers and providers of the town-
house sheltering Sandi, Joyce
and me, Laura, Mary and a few
others that dropped in as the
evening wore on.
It started by telling stories
about our backgrounds as we
snacked on delicious cheese
balls, cranberry dip and crack-
ers. As we gathered around the
table, we made the heartwarm-
ing discovery that we were all
one in faith, from churches with
different labels, but with a sim-
ple faith in God that called us all
together.
Forever, after prayer, it
seemed like food was being
passed around the table; turkey,
mashed potatoes, carrots, purple
cabbage, brussel sprouts, two
versions of dressing, salad, hot
rolls and a great selection of
rolls.
Following our lengthy, hos-
pitable meal time, in which sev-
eral pictures were snapped, we
worked off our late day meal
when 11 people participated in
a lively, possibly hilarious game
of UNO.
The evening continued with
a surprisingly interesting docu-
mentary featuring Scottish
sculptor, Andy Goldworthy. Ro-
tating from his Penpont, Scot-
land home, he would create
sculptures of action and motion
on the edge of bodies of water
and than watch and record what
the movement of water, driven
by Gods natural laws, would do
with his creation.
One of the most beautiful
parts of the evening was our
own little Thanksgiving service,
complete with scripture, respon-
sive reading and time of prayer.
One scripture totally stands out,
from Psalm 65, Awesome
things will you show us in your
righteousness, O God of our sal-
vation, O Hope of all the ends
of the earth and of the seas that
are far away.
Comes to mind, a verse of the
hymn, In Christ there is no
East or West.
In Christ now meet both
East and West,
In him meet South and North,
All Christly souls are one in
him,
Throughout the whole wide
earth.
The ultimate standard of
Thanksgiving in my mind ro-
tates around two areas, our
home in Berne with plush
meals prepared from our gar-
den and fruit by my mother
and grandma, accompanied
by my dads prayer and our
snuggly home in rural Michi-
gan where the children spent
most of their childhood.
Thanksgiving there would
usually involve the children,
my parents driving from
south of Fort Wayne and sev-
eral family members that
lived in that area, and a great
Joyce-prepared meal, warm
fellowship around the table
that my grandma and grandpa
started housekeeping with,
family prayer and the same
warmth of hearts that
matched up with the mystical
Body of Christ warmth we
sensed this year.

Oakwood Elementary Sixth Graders enjoyed a "Night At The Opera!" In early October, these
sixth grade students accompanied Oakwood Elementary music teacher Mrs. Nancy Wehrkamp
and principal Ms. Jennifer Manz to Toledo to experience the Toledo Opera's performance of
"Aida." The opera, which is set in Egypt, is one of the most famous and beloved of all operas.
The students are learning about Egypt in their Social Studies class and about Egyptian art in
their art class. Making connections between these subjects helped to make "Aida" come alive
for them. It was a night they'll always remember! Shown here outside the Valentine Theatre are
(left to right): Claire McClure, TJ Vargo, Jacob King, Kelsey Guyton, Audra Stuck, and Kaela
Lucas.
Divine Mercy students enjoyed a wonderful day at the Lincoln Ridge Pumpkin Patch on Wednesday, Oct. 30. The students
picked their own pumpkins, ziplined, navigated their way through a corn maze, and enjoyed a haunted house! Pictured above
is Miss Kuhlman's first and second grade class with Miss Hoersten's kindergarten class!
Students in Antwerps fourth grade will have warm hands this winter as they go outside to play
at recess. Ruby Berenyi, an Antwerp citizen, purchased several pairs of gloves for the pupils to
use when they forget or lose their own. Pictured from left to right is: Kiera Reyes, Zack Lockhart
and Ilse Zijistra who are students in Mrs. Geyers classroom.

Paulding Elementary third graders enjoyed watching the performance
put on by Kids on the Block puppeteers. Students enjoyed learning
about "handicapped" or "disabled" people. Students had the opportuni-
ty to learn about different disabilities and also had the opportunity to ask
questions. Students were taught how to treat people with disabilities,
and learned that having a disability doesn't make it impossible for a per-
son to do great things with their life.
At My Stop-You Stop! This is the theme of the
2013 National School Bus Safety Week. The State
Highway Patrol visited the Kindergarten classes
at Grover Hill Elementary to teach Bus Safety.
Pictured is Aubree Miller, Audrey Dougal and
Braxton Speelman getting help out of the bus.
First graders in Mrs. Hammer's class at Antwerp
Elementary participated in a cotton ball pumpkin project
during the week of Halloween. After the students rolled
the cotton balls in the mixture and designed their pump-
kins, they baked the pumpkins in the oven for an hour.

Antwerp accepting letters to Santa
ANTWERP The Antwerp Chamber of Commerce is help-
ing Santa this year by collecting letters and forwarding them
to the North Pole. Christmas is right around the corner, so now
is the time to get those wish lists to Santa.
With less than a month left until Christmas, Santa Claus is
reminding kids to please send letters soon. Letters should be
written and dropped off at Santas mailbox, located next to the
Antwerp Insurance Agency, across from the post office.
Dont forget to include a return address so Santa can get back
to his young fans. Look for the penguin!
A special Thank You
to all my loving family, beloved friends,
faithful patrons, special Angels, and amazing

In The
Garden
Poinsettias: Its all about the leaves
You cant hardly go any-
where these days without
seeing poinsettias of all
kinds, red, pink, white. Pur-
ple? Blue? Glittered? Those
last three are just wrong, in
my book. If you like them,
fine, but I get a little twitchy
when I see them.
I feel the same way about
those blue orchids that have
been sold for the last couple
of years. There is no such
thing as a blue orchid and if
you buy one, youre going
to be disappointed with sub-
sequent blooms, because I
assure you, they wont be
blue. Those are white or-
chids that have been in-
jected with a dye to make
the blooms look blue and
unless theyre injected
again, the plants next
blooms will be white, their
natural color.
In the plant world, there
are relatively few true blue
flowers, which probably ac-
counts for why people love
them so much. We always
want what we cant have.
And apparently, well do
whatever it takes to get it,
even if its fake. But does
anyone really like those
poinsettias that are purple
and glittery?
Poinsettias are a member
of the genus Euphorbia, and
for the most part, some of
the easiest plants to grow.
There are perennial types,
such as Bonfire, Ascot
Rainbow and Chameleon,
all of which I have in my
own garden. (Ascot Rain-
bow should be in every gar-
den, in my opinion.) Some
of them self-seed prolifi-
cally, but that can be con-
trolled with deadheading the
flowers before they set seed.
The flowers are nothing to
write home about anyway.
I also grow an annual Eu-
phorbia every summer, E.
marginata Kilimanjaro,
which also self-seeds. Its a
lovely plant with bracts that
are green with white edging
that is an attention getter in
the garden. It nearly glows
in moonlight and is perfect
for planting in a moon gar-
den (a garden containing all
white flowers). The seed pods
explode open when theyve
ripened, throwing their seeds
about, and the plants can be
found growing yards from
their original location the next
year.
What makes poinsettias
(Euphorbia pulcherrima) so
lovely at Christmastime are
the specialized leaves called
bracts that turn red when ex-
posed to total darkness 12-14
hours a day for a period of
about two months. During this
time of photoperiodism, they
also require bright light during
the day. There are poinsettias
that have naturally colored
bracts in shades of orange,
pink, white, pale green, as well
as variegated, but no purple or
blue. And certainly no glitter.
Poinsettias were introduced
to the U.S. from their native
Mexico in 1825, by Joel
Roberts Poinsett, the first
American ambassador to that
country, for whom they were
named. Poinsettias are an an-
nual here and Im lucky if I
can get one to stay looking
good long enough to get past
Christmas. Its a watering
issue, mostly, and I cant seem
to get it right, but I have a cou-
ple of friends that grow theirs
on, long after Christmas, for
years, even.
There are other holiday
flower and plant favorites:
amaryllis, holly, and Christ-
mas cactus. Ive grown them
all, but nothing says Christmas
more than the poinsettia. Do
you have good luck keeping
them after Christmas? If so, let
me know your secret!
Read Kylees blog, Our Lit-
tle Acre, at www.ourlit-
tleacre.com and on Facebook
at www.facebook.com/OurLit-
tleAcre. Contact her at Pauld-
ingProgressGardener@gmail
.com.
Poinsettias naturally come in shades of pink, as shown here at a recent floral trade show.
Poinsettia flowers are tiny compared to the variegated bracts that make this pink poinsettia at-
tractive.

Raidermania comes alive
among Wayne Trace fans
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
HAVILAND At least one
Payne area church began
worship yesterday morning
with congregational members
lauding the local football
team.
One congregational mem-
ber said, Thank God for the
Raiders!
Several members re-
sponded by saying, Amen.
Banners and signs have
come out; the Raiders run to
the state football finals this
Friday at 11 a.m. against As-
sociated Press No. 1 ranked
Kirtland has become the pri-
mary topic at the local
Marathon station, restaurants
and other public gathering
places.
Katie Morman, whose
daughter, Kayla, is a cheer-
leader for the Raiders, said
that she had always hoped
that her kids would have the
experience of being part of a
state run like this.
I am so excited that they
get to experience this, said
Morman. Oh, the memories
they are making. My daugh-
ter, Kayla, getting to be a
cheerleader down on the side-
lines by the players, has been
especially exciting.
This has been amazing to
follow these boys all season
and to come to this point,
continued Morman.
It has been an amazing
journey supporting our
Wayne Trace football team
this year, commented
Brenda Combs enthusiasti-
cally.
For me, its been extra
special having our daughter,
who is a senior, involved with
this, because this group of
kids is so united off the field.
Its been a pleasure watching
these kids grow into young
adults.
Many people in the local
communities of Payne,
Grover Hill, Haviland and
Scott have decorated for the
Raiders as though they were
decorating for Christmas. In-
stead of red and green lights,
there are blue and red lights
surrounding their homes,
rural homes as well as those
in the villages.
Spotlighting homemade
signs has become a popular
event. Jennifer Martin just fin-
ished this weeks sign on Sun-
day evening and put the
spotlight on, Raiders Kill
Hornets.
Working with the youth as
a volunteer for the last 10
years, my first reaction is ex-
citement. I love to see the kids
excel, said Martin.
Whether you have a child
attending this school or not, its
just exciting to see their hard
work pay off. Our community
is proud and the coaches and
players should be proud of
their team effort and personal
dedication and passion to the
sport.
You see hand-painted signs
and painted car windows,
The Wayne Trace student section celebrates a state semifinal victory last Friday night. Raider
fans are showing their support with handmade signs, banners and paintings as they get ready
for the state finals in football. The Raiders will play Kirtland in foot ball in state finals this Friday.
continued Martin. This com-
ing week in the evenings you
will start to notice yard lights
turned in to the colors of blue
and red showing support to our
Raider team. We have one
more game to go, and whatever
the outcome, we are very proud
of our boys.
Like hundreds of other fans,
Don and Jodi Rowlands have
made the distance to all of the
playoff games, bundled in win-
ter gear and cheering their
warm hearts out. Like the oth-
ers, they are working on mak-
ing arrangements to be present
for Fridays 11 a.m. game.
The Raiders are simply
amazing. This team has contin-
uously fought to succeed, said
Jodi. They are a unique team
Wayne Traces Colby Speice #24 looks for a running lane against Mechanicsburg last Friday
night in state semi final play.
Coach Bill Speller and Chucky Chastain #73 are all smiles in the closing seconds of the Friday
night victory that sent the team to the championship game this week in Canton.

DIV. VI STATE CHAMPIONSHIP
Wayne Trace faces big test in top-ranked Kirtland
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
HAVILAND With the
final week of the high school
football season upon us,
Wayne Trace looks to take one
more record-breaking step as
the Raiders battle Kirtland in
the Division VI state champi-
onship game Friday at Fawcett
Stadium in Canton.
For the Hornets, this is a fa-
miliar place with their third
straight trip to the title game.
Kirtland won the 2011 state
title with a 28-7 win over Cold-
water before losing to the Cav-
aliers in last years
championship game 10-9.
However, this season Wayne
Trace makes the long trip to
eastern Ohio to battle the Hor-
nets.
Kirtland head coach Tiger
Laverde brings in an experi-
enced squad that features a
strong group of seniors, much
like the Raiders.
Sixteen seniors will put on
the Hornet uniform for the final
time on Friday, many of which
have seen experience in the
past two state championship
games.
No Hornet has more experi-
ence than senior Ryan Loncar,
who will break the state record
for games played when he
takes the field for his 58th
game in a Kirtland uniform on
Friday.
We have some kids who
have been through state cham-
pionship games so it may give
us a little edge experience
wise, commented Laverde.
But this is a very talented and
athletic team that we are play-
ing on Friday. Their quarter-
back is very good and he
makes a lot of plays with his
athleticism.
Obviously, we are very ex-
cited to be in this position,
continued the Hornet mentor.
We set a goal in the offseason
to get back to this point and the
kids have worked really hard
and done an outstanding job of
preparing each week.
Wayne Trace head coach
Bill Speller feels much the
same way when asked about
the Raiders.
When we missed the play-
offs last year, we set a goal to
get to this point, commented
the Raider head coach. Its
something we have talked
about with the kids a lot and
maybe too much. The guys
have put in a lot of time and ef-
fort in making this dream be-
come a reality.
The Hornets, though, may

FINDLAY The Antwerp
Wrestling Club competed at
the Findlay Battle for the
Belt tournament on Dec. 1.
Of the five Archer
wrestlers competing in this
very competitive tournament,
there were two who were able
to place in the top four of
their respective weight
classes.
Placing fourth was Kaden
Phares, and narrowly missing
out on the belt and finishing
second was Eli Reinhart.
Anyone interested in join-
ing the Antwerp Wrestling
Club should keep an eye out
for a flyer from school this
December that will have de-
tails about the wrestling club
and its practice schedule. The
wrestling club will be accept-
ing new members in January.
Panthers start season with 2-0 weekend
By JIM LANGHAM
Sportswriter
PAULDING The Pauld-
ing boys basketball team
started out the new season
with back-to-back wins at
home this past weekend.
On Friday night, the local
squad jumped out to a 32-8
halftime lead over Continen-
tal and then coasted to a 60-
21 opening season victory.
Kyle Kauser led the Paulding
effort with 13 points while
Treston Gonzales added 11
points.
After jumping to an insur-
mountable halftime lead, the
Panthers buried the Pirates,
16-2, in the third quarter.
In reserve action, Paulding
defeated Continental, 64-14.
Saturday night, the Pan-
thers battled with county
rival, Antwerp, but eventually
came out on top, 60-50.
The Panthers jumped into
an early 7-0 advantage which
the Archers could never over-
come. Still, the Archers bat-
tled back to a 13-8
disadvantage at the end of the
first quarter. Paulding pre-
vailed 30-23 at the half, but
Antwerp chipped away to
within five points, 43-38, at
the end of the third quarter.
Paulding dominated, 17-
12, in the final eight minutes
to win the cross county ri-
valry.
Kauser amassed 22 points
to lead all scorers for the
game while post player Guy
Harder bucketed 20 points
and hauled down 12 rebounds
for the Panthers.
Sam Williamson led the
Archer cause with 14 points
while Trenton Copsey added
12 points for the visitors.
This was a good opening
weekend for us, commented
Paulding head coach Shawn
Brewer. Antwerp gave us a
real challenge. They shot well
from the outside (10 of 21
from three point range).
Our guys did a good job
answering. They came at us
but we never allowed them to
get at us, continued Brewer.
We were a little sloppy at the
end, but it was a good learn-
ing experience for us. It was
a good high school ballgame
for both the fans and the play-
ers.
I sure cant fault our kids
effort, noted Antwerp head
coach T.J. Hammer. The
kids played hard. Once we
got rid of our nerves after two
or three minutes, we calmed
down.
Paulding is going to be a
very good basketball team,
continued Hammer. I told
our guys that they fought ad-
versity well. They got up to
14 or 15 basket lead; we cut
it to five. We got close, but
we just couldnt quite make it
over.
Once we settled down, we
executed well, added Ham-
mer. I thought we executed
well over all. We had a lot of
guys that this was their first
significant varsity experi-
ence. I thought that it was a
good opening performance
for them.
Paulding defeated Antwerp
41-38 in junior varsity action.
Archer Trenton Copsey #32 goes up and draws a Paulding foul
last Saturday night. The Panthers won the county rivalry, 60-50.
Pauldings Kyle Kauser #21 drops in a three-ball against
county rival Antwerp last Saturday night.
Raiders give Hughes first win
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
ROCKFORD Wayne
Trace put together an 18-0
run in the second quarter and
the Lady Raiders never relin-
quished control in posting a
77-61 win over Parkway in
non-league girls basketball
action last week.
The Raider victory gives
first-year head coach Bethany
Hughes her first career win.
I am proud of the girls and
the improvement they
showed tonight, commented
the Raider head coach. We
did a lot of positive things
and I am very proud of their
efforts.
Parkway led 20-19 after a
back-and-forth first quarter
that saw six lead changes and
a pair of ties.
However, after the Pan-
thers Raegan Bransteter
opened the second quarter
scoring with a basket, it was
all Wayne Trace.
Two Brooke Wilcox bas-
kets, an Estie Sinn free throw
and buckets from Erin Mohr
and Madi Poling put the
Raiders on top 28-22 with
5:20 left.
But the Raiders werent
done.
Two Sylvia Young foul
shots followed by a Mohr free
throw pushed the margin to
31-22 with 4:09 remaining in
the half. Mohr then scored
three straight buckets for
Wayne Trace as the red, white
and blue widened the advan-
tage to 37-22.
Parkway did close within
37-27 on a Bransteter basket
before the Raiders answered.
Leah Sinn hit a trey just be-
fore the halftime buzzer to
make it 40-27 at the break.
That was a big run for us,
Hughes noted. We did a bet-
ter job rebounding in that
stretch and it allowed us to
get some put backs.
From there, the Raiders
and Panthers played virtually
even.
Parkway got within 42-31
after a Sarah Gehron basket
but the black and gold would
get no closer in the third quar-
ter. Wayne Trace actually led
62-46 late in the stanza fol-
lowing a Shayna Temple
bucket before Gehron got the
Panthers within 62-48 enter-
ing the fourth quarter.
The black and gold would
make a run early in the period.
A basket by Cami Hellwarth,
a single free throw from
Gehron and two Kayle Heck-
ler foul shots closed the gap
to 64-53 with 5:25 remaining
in the contest.
Hellwarth added a 3-point
play to get the hosts within
64-56 at the 4:15 mark before
the Raiders would answer.
Seven straight Raider
points, five from Mohr and
two by Lauren Speice,
widened the Wayne Trace
lead back to 71-56 and the
red, white and blue would
cruise from there.
We have shown improve-
ment each night this year and
the girls are working hard,
Hughes continued. I was
pleased with tonights effort,
especially since we couldnt
practice last night. We still
have things to get better at but
it was a good step tonight.
Mohr led all scorers with
27 points while adding 11 re-
bounds and eight steals for
Wayne Trace. Young chipped
in 13 markers and six boards
with Speice posting 10 mark-
ers and 10 caroms.
Hellwarth paced the Pan-
thers, who fall to 1-1, with 17
points on the night. Gehron
chipped in 11 points while
Sierra Fent posted 10 mark-
ers.
Wayne Trace committed
only 15 turnovers in the contest
compared to Parkways 18.
I am very happy with that
number, concluded the
Raider head coach. We had
a goal of under 20 and that is
much better to be at 15. The
girls also did a much better
job at the free throw line
tonight.
The Lady Raiders outre-
bounded the Panthers 45-40
as well. Wayne Trace was 31
of 68 from the field (46 per-
cent) while Parkway hit 23 of
58 shots (40 percent). The
Lady Raiders were 14 of 19 at
the charity stripe (74 percent)
compared to the Panthers 14
of 30 (47 percent).
Wayne Traces junior var-
sity moved to 2-1 on the sea-
son with a 59-26 win over the
Lady Panthers.
Leah Sinn bucketed a
dozen markers for the red,
white and blue with Stacy
Flint adding 11. Courtney
Mead also chipped in eight
points and a dozen boards
with Hollie Wannemacher
posting eight markers as well.
Parkways Ashley Clark led
all scorers with 17 points
while adding seven rebounds
and six steals.
The Lady Raiders will have
their home opener on Mon-
day, Dec. 9 as they welcome
in Liberty Center. Wayne
Trace then visits county rival
Paulding in the traditional ri-
valry game on Tuesday.
Early WT boys games,
wrestling rescheduled
HAVILAND The ex-
tended football season has
caused Wayne Trace to post-
pone and reschedule some of
its boys basketball games
and wrestling matches at the
opening of winter sports sea-
son.
The Wayne Trace-Paulding
game has been rescheduled
from Dec. 7 to Jan. 14 at
Paulding at 6 p.m.
The Nov. 29 Crestview
game has been rescheduled to
Dec. 28 at Wayne Trace at 6
p.m.
The Nov. 30 game vs. Lin-
colnview has been resched-
uled for Thursday, Feb. 20
with a 6 p.m. start time.
A second game at Lincol-
nview, which had been set for
Dec. 14, will now be Tues-
day, Feb. 11, at 6 p.m.
The Raiders will play their
first game on Dec. 20 when
they host Parkway.
A junior high boys basket-
ball game vs. Crestview on
Dec. 5 has been postponed
with no make-up date se-
lected.
Wrestling meets on Dec. 3,
10 and 12 have been canceled.
The Raiders will be competing
at the Lincolnview Invitational,
not Arcadia, on Dec. 7 since it
is a tournament, not a dual. The
kids who can will wrestle, but
probably no football players.
Wayne Trace athletic direc-
tor Jim Linder said, We will
look to jump into other tourna-
ments to make up those lost
points. New dates will be
shared as information becomes
available.

in that they function like a family, lending hands
to help one another out. They are always extend-
ing encouragement and wearing their hearts on
their sleeves on and off the field.
As a parent of two Wayne Trace students, and
a Raider fan, I am proud and overjoyed to see
this happening, not only for the team, but for our
community. The bond that is being created
through the various towns in support of the
Raiders is unbelievable, continued Rowlands.
I could go on for days about the emotions and
beautiful experiences that I continue to witness
as I attend the games. God is great and this team
is certainly blessed, added Rowlands.

Senior Audrey Emma Elizabeth Smith seem-
ingly represented the feeling of students con-
cerning the rare and exciting event. Smith noted
that being a part of the first Wayne Trace football
team to go to state is unbelievable.
It is exciting that this is happening my senior
year of high school. Ive gone to school with
many of the boys since elementary school and
they have always loved to play football, said
Smith. To see them now, going to state in our
senior year is one of the most exciting things. I
cannot begin to explain the excitement we will
feel on Friday and actually being there, added
Smith.
Defense leads Paulding
girls to win over Antwerp
By JIM LANGHAM
Sportswriter
PAULDING The Pauld-
ing County girls basketball
team opened its new campaign
with a 49-24 win over Antwerp
at home last week.
The Panthers jumped into a
13-6 lead at the end of the first
stop and extended it to 23-14 at
the halfway mark.
Paulding continued its de-
fensive dominance of the game
in the third quarter, besting the
Archers, 15-6, to coast to the
big win.
Jerika Bland led the Pauld-
ing effort with 12 points while
Sierra McCullough contributed
11 points to the Panther cause.
Abby Pease bucketed nine
points to help round out the
Paulding cause.
Both Peyton Short and
Kaiya Jamison contributed
nine points to lead the Antwerp
scoring attack.
Our defense came out right
at the beginning, commented
Paulding head coach Lindsey
Schultz. We talked about de-
fense and rebounding at the
half.
I thought our offense
flowed well, but we didnt play
up tempo like we would like at
times, continued Schultz. At
times, we let them set up their
offense. We didnt want them
to do that.
Our defense is playing bet-
ter. That is going to have to be
one of our strong points all sea-
son, added Schultz.
Paulding jumped out to a 10-
2 run to bury the Archers early.
Antwerp pulled to within five
points of Paulding, 19-4, with
3:29 left in the half, but the
Panthers pulled away to a 23-
14 advantage at the halfway
mark.
We didnt really come to-
gether until three-fourths the
way through the first quarter,
commented Antwerp head
coach Kevin Taylor. We started
taking care of the ball better
then and didnt force things.
When they started to pull
away, things snowballed on us.
We didnt communicate
around their shooters. It
seemed like after the third
quarter, we didnt have any en-
ergy.

Hornets present a
big challenge for WT
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
HAVILAND Wayne
Trace will take part in its first
state championship football
game on Friday as the
Raiders (13-1) battle top-
ranked Kirtland (14-0) at
Fawcett Stadium in Canton
with an 11 a.m. start time.
The Hornets, who finished
ranked No. 1 in the final As-
sociated Press state poll, are
making their third consecu-
tive appearance in the state
championship game.
Kirtland played Coldwater
the last two seasons in the
state title game, defeating the
Cavaliers 28-7 in 2011 to win
the Division V championship.
Coldwater posted a 10-9 vic-
tory over the Hornets in the
2012 Division V state title
game.
In 2010, Kirtland lost to
Youngstown Ursuline 48-0 in
the Region 19 championship.
Kirtlands seniors come
into Fridays state champi-
onship game with a record of
55-2 for their careers, including
having won 43 of the last 44
games.
The Hornets are averaging
52.9 points per game and
have scored 41 or more points
in all but one game, last
weeks 10-7 victory over
Columbus Bishop Ready. De-
fensively, Kirtland allows
only eight points a contest
and the Hornet defense has
posted four shutouts this sea-
son. The Hornets have given
up 10 or more points only
five times this year.
In road games, Kirtland av-
erages 51 points per game of-
fensively while allowing nine
points a night.
Junior Sam Skiljan (6-0,
185) has completed 67 of 104
passes for 1,334 yards and 19
touchdowns with only four in-
terceptions.
The Hornets, though, like to
run first. Senior Sam Kukara
(5-10, 200) is the teams cap-
tain and has rumbled for 1,569
yards on 126 carries, including
26 touchdowns. Junior Adam
Hess (5-11, 210) adds 1,300
yards on 165 attempts with 20
touchdowns.
Skiljan chips in 582 yards
over 68 attempts and junior
Jacob Boyd (6-0, 185) has
posted 556 yards on 43 carries.
Senior Ryan Loncar (5-11,
185) tops the Hornet receiving
corps with 20 catches for 418
yards and 10 touchdowns.
Loncar also leads the Hornet
defense with six interceptions
while Boyd has picked off five.
Junior placekicker Jordan
Ianiro (6-0, 165) has connected
on 48 of 52 extra point at-
tempts and connected on a 31-
yard field goal this year.
Sophomore Brad Hauptman
(5-7, 135) has converted 36 of
38 extra point attempts on the
year for the Hornets and added
two field goals, the longest of
which is 27 yards.
Meanwhile, Wayne Traces
offense has put up 50 markers
a night while the Raider de-
fense allows 13 points per
game. The Raiders have scored
40 or more points in 12 of the
14 games and given up less
than 20 points 10 times as well.
Kirtland senior Ryan Loncar
will set a new state record for
starts in a high school when he
comes out for the 58th time in
his high school career on Fri-
day. Loncar started his first
game as a freshman and hasnt
missed a contest in his four
years.
CELEBRATION A Wel-
come Home Celebration will
be held at 1 p.m. Saturday at
Wayne Trace High School. All
fans are encouraged to attend
as we celebrate and honor the
football team on its record-
breaking season.
present the biggest challenge of
the season for Wayne Trace.
Kirtland has compiled 4,960
rushing yards on the season as
a team, averaging over eight
yards per attempt and 354
yards per game. The Hornets
have posted 6,616 yards of
total offense on the season, an
average of 472 yards per con-
test.
What the Hornets have ac-
complished on the ground, the
Raiders have taken to the air.
Wayne Trace has put up 4,976
passing yards, completing 307
of 508 passes on the season.
The red, white and blue adds
2,085 rushing yards to post
7,061 total yards this year, an
average of 500 yards per game
in total offense.
It will be a battle of contrast-
ing styles in Canton on Friday.
You know, at this point, you
have to do what you have done
all season and just execute it
better than the other team exe-
cutes, Laverde added. You
dont want to try and chance
what you do but you just want
to do things better than them.
Some things we do really well
and some things they do very
well. Its so hard to gauge off
of film and you just have to
come out prepared on Friday.
We want to run the ball first
and that is no secret, noted the
Tiger mentor. They want to
spread things out and throw it.
Its a great matchup of teams
with contrasting styles.
They remind us of Tinora,
commented Speller. They
want to run the ball and they
want to be able to control the
ball and the clock. Defensively,
they have a lot of athletes and
they look like they have the
athletes to match up with us.
We know they are a good foot-
ball team but we have to come
out ready to play and be able to
make adjustments as needed.
Each team has been able to
convert when facing third and
fourth downs on the season.
The Hornets have converted 46
percent (52 of 114) of their
third down attempts while also
making 14 of 35 (40 percent)
fourth down attempts.
Meanwhile, Wayne Trace is
72 of 130 on third downs (55
percent) and 17 of 32 (53 per-
cent) on fourth down.
Both teams also have come
up with stops defensively when
they have had the opportunity
on third and fourth downs.
Kirtland has allowed only
opponents to convert 38 of 187
attempts on third down (20
percent) and 14 of 50 (28 per-
cent) on fourth down. The
Raiders limited their opponents
to making 36 of 157 third
down attempts (23 percent)
and 8 of 32 fourth down (25
percent) tries.
They dont run a lot of
tricky stuff, Speller added of
the Hornets. They are very
quick, very athletic and they
are very well coached. They
dont appear to be big size wise
but they are very strong.
Our community is very ex-
cited and they have showed
tremendous support, Laverde
stated. Our kids have great
family support. We ask a lot of
the kids and the parents are
very good about allowing the
kids to work very hard. We
have a lot of parents who have
coached in the youth football
program. I believe success
breeds success and we have
seen our roster grow from 35-
40 kids to now we are 72. We
like our kids to have a lot of fun
but yet we work them very
hard in practice as well.
We have to prepare harder
this week than we have all sea-
son, concluded the Hornet
mentor. This is no time to be
satisfied. We have to try and
play our best game of the year
Friday morning.
