State
approves
new wind
farm in
Paulding
County
COLUMBUS The Ohio
Power Siting Board (OPSB)
on Monday authorized
Northwest Ohio Wind Energy
LLC to construct a wind farm
comprised of up to 59 wind
turbines in Blue Creek and
Latty townships in Paulding
County.
The Northwest Ohio Wind
Farm will have an electric
generation capacity of 100
megawatts (MW), utilizing
turbines with a nameplate ca-
pacity of 1.7 to 2.0 MW.
The project covers 12,750
acres of leased land near the

Grover Hill, north of the exist-
ing Blue Creek Wind Farm.
Northwest Ohio Wind

One of the major projected
court changes for 2014 is that
of increasing the county court
from part-time to full-time.
We are currently working
with Judge (Suzanne Shuman)
Rister in making the county
court a full-time court instead
of a part-time court, said
Zartman.
Zartman explained that the
move is being made because
the case load has been so high.
Our desire is that she be-

PAULDING Early
Monday morning, Paulding
County commissioners took
legislative action to pass the
2014 Paulding County general
fund budget amounting to
$4,945,076.22.
We have tried to be as re-
sponsible as we can be in the
use of taxpayers money,
commented Commissioner
Chairman Fred Pieper. Weve
spent several months working
on this and all of its delicate is-
sues. We have a legitimate rea-
son for any and all increases.
We started working on this
back in September, continued
Pieper. Weve put a lot of
study into it. We are always
considering what we can do
with this money for the better-
ment of the community. What
is the best return we can get for
our investment?
This years budget reflects
an overall increase of
$270,550.13 over the 2013
budgeted amount of
$4,674,526.09.
Nearly all departments
have a modest increase, com-
mented Commissioner Tony
Zartman. Increased areas
were primarily used for in-
creases on salaries of employ-
ees and to cover additional
overall costs of departments as
in fees and supplies.
In the case of courts, in-
creases have occurred in those
areas where grant dollars are
no longer being awarded, ex-
plained Pieper.
Grant money has to be kept
separate. Some grants are not
available right now so expens-
es have to be covered out of
the general fund, said Pieper.
Commissioners pass nearly $5 million budget

from Putnam County Sheriffs Office
Detective Division assisted Paulding
and Van Wert County sheriffs offices

cation of Reynolds and Webster.
On Dec. 16, a search warrant was

Zartman.
Pieper explained that in
Ohio, the State Supreme Court
ultimately approves the move
of expansion and the salary
and benefit scale. As a result,
$36,839 has been added to the
2014 budget on behalf of the
county court.
A significant drop occurred
in the health insurance item of
the budget. Last years allot-
ment was $180,000. This
years has been trimmed
$54,000 to $126,000.
That change, said commis-
sioners, is because several en-
tities have purchased health in-
surance for themselves and are
no longer looking to the coun-
ty general fund for their source
of funding.
A lot of personnel are no
longer on our insurance list,
commented Zartman.
In addition, $130,000 has
been added to the sheriffs
budget to cover the cost of a
new drug unit officer. That
amount also establishes anoth-
er deputy position in third
shift, where only one officer
has been working.
We feel that if there are two
officers on duty, it will be
much safer for all, comment-
ed Zartman.
Commissioners are espe-
cially happy to have increased
the Soldiers Relief Fund,
where $30,939.18 has been
added.
Commissioners explained
that the increase occurred be-
cause it was a state-mandated
increase dictated by Ohio
Revised Code.
The increase is based on a
half mill of property tax,
Zartman explained. Our eval-
uation has changed and so has
the rate amount available for
this fund.
We are very happy that we
were able to do this, noted
Pieper.
Consolidation of Jobs and
Family Department has also
led to less responsibility in in-
surance through the county
coffers. Over the past year, the
family services departments
of Paulding and Defiance
counties have combined and
have taken on their own ex-
penditure of insurance from
within their organization.
Zartman noted that commis-
sioners have increased budget
money for the economic de-
velopment area by $35,000.
We need to invest in our
county economic develop-
ment department, said
Zartman. It is the best hope of
a developing community.

Chamber, Erika Willitzer, says shes
disappointed the wreaths were not
hung for 2013, but thanks the down-
town businesses that have decked out
their store front windows.
Im very sorry we didnt get the
wreaths up this year, but I feel this
bump in the road will lead to a better
result in the future.
Willitzer also adds that if any busi-
ness owners or community members
would like to be on the Paulding
Christmas Decoration Committee or if
anyone would like to sponsor some of
the new decorations, the chamber wel-
comes any offers and help. Please call

PAULDING Plans are under way
for 2014 to create a more festive envi-
ronment in downtown Paulding, ac-
cording to a press release issued by the
Paulding Chamber of Commerce on
Monday.
One of the major plans is to hold a
Christmas lighting ceremony and
party on the square that will include
carolers, special guest singers, and of
course, Jolly Old Saint Nicholas him-
self. Also, there are plans under way to
get new light pole decorations.
The Paulding Chamber and
Paulding Village officials met
Monday morning, Dec. 16 to discuss
why there were no decorations on the
square for this year and to develop a
better plan for 2014. Paulding
Chamber board members said there
were multiple reasons for not hanging
the wreaths that typically hang over
the downtown lampposts. Those rea-
sons included not being able to get
enough help to hang the decorations
on a Sunday, which is the only day of
the week the 40 pound wreaths can be
hung with a bucket truck because the
traffic flow is at a minimum. Also, the
hanging of the wreaths is quite dan-
gerous, and many didnt want put
themselves at risk any more.
Chamber board president Marsha
Yeutter stated that the wreaths are also
in bad shape and in need of replace-
ment.
Were hoping to get new decora-
tions for 2014 with the help of com-
munity donations. I know many are
disappointed about the lights not being
up, but I hope Paulding residents focus
on all the great things happening in our
downtown, including the new Herb
Monroe Community Park, our beauti-
ful courthouse square, and all our local
businesses open for the Christmas sea-
son, added Yeutter.
As far as Village participation in
2014, its pursuant to previous council
authorization, and will continue but
only if the decorations are less danger-
ous in installing and tearing down.
With the Paulding Chamber pursuing
new decorations that are easier to in-
stall, this should be easier and benefi-
cial for everyone.

LOCAL PASTOR SERVES AS GUEST MINISTER Pastor Drew Gardner (left), from
Emmanuel Baptist Church in Paulding, gave the opening prayer during session Dec. 12 at
the Ohio House of Representatives in Columbus. Pastor Gardner and his son, Noah, were

certainly a pleasure to have him come to Columbus and visit the Ohio House while in ses-
sion, Rep. Burkley said. The prayer he offered was wonderful, and I continue to wish Drew,
Kelly and their children the best.

ROBERT FRIESNER
1938-2013
PLYMOUTH, Ind.
Robert Leonard Friesner, 75,
passed away at 2:04 p.m.
Wednesday, Dec. 11 at St.
Joseph Regional Medical
Center in Mishawaka.
Robert
was born
on July
16, 1938
in Mid-
dlepoint,
Ohio, to
Dwi g h t
and Datha
( F o x )
Friesner. He graduated from
Van Del High School in 1956,
while in high school he
played both basketball and
baseball. He then met and
married his wife of 55 years,
Barbara Joyce Rawlings. He
attended Findlay College and
after he received his degree,
he began his teaching career,
which lasted 39 years. He and
Barbara Joyce spent their
teaching years at West Noble
in Ligonier, then moved to
Lawrence Lake in Plymouth
after they retired.
His years in the classroom
teaching U.S. History gave
him much joy, and he did a
great job keeping students at-
tention. However, those less
attentive students were
brought back to his history
world with a flying eraser. He
spent his after-school hours
coaching cross-country with
the help of his wife for many
years. He worked his runners
hard and had high expecta-
tions. However, many fine
young men came through his
program, including a state
cross-country champion and
three state-qualifying teams.
He also used his love of bas-
ketball to coach a team to a
sectional championship.
Robert also coached
wrestling, track and taught
drivers ed. He was also a
member of the Lions Club
and West Noble Classroom
Teachers Association and
served on the Ligonier Li-
brary Board.
He is survived by his wife,
Barbara Joyce; three daughters,
Sherry Hughes, Deb (Larry)
Miller and Kate (Josh) Harris;

One last request would be
for more people to come on
board to help with the deco-
rating and to volunteer
throughout the festival. We
have been told we have one
of the nicest festivals around
the area, but we can make it
even nicer with your help.
We can always use trees if
you are planning to get a
new one. Some of our trees
are getting pretty old.
If you decorated a tree this
year, you will have the same
tree again next year. Each
tree was marked as it was
taken down. Maybe you did-
nt do a tree and want to for
the new year. Let me know
and we will put you on the
list and will notify you when
we start planning which will
be in July. Did I say that??
The museum will be
closed until the last Tuesday
in January. But should you
need to bring a tree or any
decorations before that time
just give me a call.
The dates for next year
will be Nov. 14-16. All
events are done by donation.
Have a Merry Christmas
and A Caroling We Will
Go.

Ohio Religious Freedom Restoration Act
protects a fundamental American right
As Americans, some of our
most basic, yet most sacred,
freedoms are outlined in the
First Amendment of the Bill
of Rights. Our country was
based on the fundamental
rights to speak, assemble and
worship, and we need to re-
main diligent on preserving
those liberties. That is why I
was happy to sign on as a
cosponsor to a bill that helps
to protect against laws that
substantially burden a per-
sons exercise of religion.
The Ohio Religious Free-
dom Restoration Act,
(RFRA) which was recently
introduced by members from
both parties and is outlined in
House Bill 376, strongly re-
sembles a law signed at the
federal level in 1993 by Pres-
ident Clinton. The law re-
quired courts to use what is
called strict scrutiny in re-
ligious freedom cases, which
requires the government to
justify any burdens that are
imposed on religious exer-
cise. When those burdens are
in fact justified, then the court
must take the least restrictive
route possible when imposing
the law.
Basically, the Ohio version
takes what previously only
applied to federal statutes and
applies it to state laws. A
1997 Supreme Court case
ruled that Congress could not
mandate how state laws
should be interpreted, which
kept more power with the in-
dividual states. However, the
court ruling encouraged states
to implement their own
From The
State House
Rep. Tony Burkley
RFRA laws.
If passed, Ohio would join
18 other states that have al-
ready approved the measure.
The diversity of views and
opinions whether they be
political, personal, religious
or otherwise is what makes
this country so special and is
a fact that all Americans
should celebrate. I was proud
to join several other cospon-
sors because I think this act
puts in place important pro-
tections for religious expres-
sion.

The Amish Cook
By: Lovina Eicher
birthday. Hard to believe she
will be joining the youth.
Elizabeths friend, Timo-
thy, was happy to get his third
deer of the season. His
freezer quit working this
summer and he didnt dis-
cover it until all the meat was
spoiled. He is glad to be able
to put meat back in his new
freezer.
I tasted the venison steaks
Timothy grilled and they
were pretty good. I am not a
venison fan, but if I had not
known it was venison it
would have been hard to
guess it wasnt beef.
Joe hasnt had any luck
from where he hunts. Seems
to be too many other hunters
surrounding him so they head
off the deer before they get to
the woods Joe hunts.
Today is laundry day again.
The temperatures were in the
mid-50s when Joe left for
work and now it is 33. Looks
like well just hang clothes to
dry in the basement. After the
laundry is done well make
some noodles if possible (Ed-
itors Note: stay tuned for
some noodle photos!)
This is the first time I have
made Spellbinder Cookies
to take to church. Other
women in our church make
them so I thought I would try
them. The recipe didnt have
a time and temperature for
baking, so I guessed at that.
Hope they will work as well
for you as they did for me.
We are in the first week of
December, the final month of
2013. I went to town yester-
day to take son, Kevin, to the
dentist. Everywhere you see
the reminders that the Christ-
mas holiday is approaching
fast. It gets dark early, so it
was dark when we left town.
Kevin enjoyed watching all
the Christmas lights.
The girls made a breakfast
meal for our supper last night.
On the menu was bacon,
scrambled eggs, toast, and
cottage cheese. It is nice to
have the girls make supper
when I have to leave for an
appointment. When they
were all younger, I would
have to make supper after I
was home.
My husband, Joe, and
daughter, Elizabeth, are back
to work after being off
Thanksgiving week. Al-
though it is nice to have time
off from work, that also
means no payday. The Good
Lord will provide, though, if
we keep our trust in Him.
Yesterday, sister, Emma,
dropped off her three boys
here at 5:30 a.m. as she had a
23 hour drive to an appoint-
ment for her daughter Eliza-
beth, 17. Elizabeth had ear
surgery in November and this
appointment was a checkup.
I told our boys that if they
went to bed earlier the
evening before, Id wake
them up before Emma and
Jacobs boys get here at 5:30
a.m.
I made breakfast for our
five scholars and Jacob, 14;
Benjamin, 11; and Steven, 6.
They had 1 1/2 hours to play
until the bus came at 7 a.m.
The house seemed quiet after
all eight school children left
for school. They all had a
good start to the day.
December 10th daughter
Verena will have her 16th
Blessings to all!

Vicky English and Barb Porter, of The Gardens of Paulding, accept a cassette tape player and
an audio book collection recorded on cassette from Becky Fishbaugh, representing the Friends
of the historic Paulding County Carnegie Library.
Friends of Library donate audio library
PAULDING The Pauld-
ing County Carnegie Library
Friends of the Library have
found a new use for a format,
no longer carried by the li-
brary, in audio books
recorded on cassette. The
Friends have donated their in-
ventory of audio books to The
Gardens of Paulding, along
with a brand new cassette
player.
Audio books recorded on
cassette tape are no longer car-
ried by the library, states
Susan Pieper, library director.
The library gives our with-
drawn, outdated and unused
formats to the Friends, so they
can resell in their book store
with the proceeds benefiting
the library.
However, the Friends have
realized that books recorded on
cassette tape are no longer sell-
ing at their book store, so do-
nating them along with a
cassette player was a great way
to give them to a new audience.
Recorded books on CD,
playaway or cassette tape are
extremely popular with read-
ers for a number of reasons.
Many readers enjoy listening
while driving. Others listen
while doing chores or exer-
cising. And some listen when
their eyes will no longer
focus on the printed page.
The residents of The Gar-
dens will now be able to sign
up to use the cassette player
and listen to books read by a
professional reader.
The Friends of the Pauld-
ing County Carnegie Library
was founded over 20 years
ago as a 501(c)3 non-profit
organization. The group pro-
vides monetary and volunteer
support for library programs,
projects and special events.
The Friends also operate
the Buy the Book used book-
store, located next to the his-
toric Carnegie library. They
meet at 6 p.m. on the second
Tuesday of the month at the
historic Carnegie Library in
Paulding.

MY CAR HAS A STORY
Around the holidays, as
people are out doing their
shopping, there is a lot of traf-
fic on the roads and high-
ways. Sometimes, I know I
get frustrated and say a few
choice words, because either
someone turns in front of me,
or shines their bright lights in
my face.
One evening when driving
home from work, it was dark
and there was quite a bit of
traffic on the highway. There
were fast moving cars, big
semi trucks and slow moving
swaying tractors and wagons.
I thought to myself,
Where is everyone going?
What are their plans? Then it
came to me that inside every
one of those vehicles, whether
it is slow or fast, a truck, car,
motorcycle or a tractor that
they each have their own
story to tell.
Each person, even myself,
has a place we are driving to
or from. Perhaps, in one of
those cars was a mom running
late to get her children to a
ball practice.
Maybe someone was driving
fast, because they had an
emergency at home. There
could be an illness in the fam-
ily or some devastating news.
Then, stop and think of the
teenage driver who is out
driving the family car, on
their first date and going to a
movie. They may feel unsure
of their driving skills and def-
initely dont want to wreck
Dads car. It is like I said, In-
side each car is a story.
It is annoying sometimes
when a semi truck tailgates
my car as I am driving and
they act like they are in such a
big hurry. In fact, I usually
slow down and just let them
pass. However, I speculate,
Maybe they want to get home
to a good hot meal and see
their family. Perhaps they
have been on the road for 12
hours and are wanting to get
into a nice warm bed.
Then, there are the passen-
ger vans on the road. Inside
may be a family going on va-
cation. The kids could be
fighting, Dad could be yelling
and Mom is probably frazzled.
Yes, this has been one of my
car stories.
On another car you may see
a sign saying, Raider Na-
tion. Perhaps that car is on
their way to watch their son or
daughter play basketball or
some school sport. This car
usually has an exciting story
within.
It always tickles me to see
the farmers driving very slow
as they look and check out the
fields. It lets me know they are
not only looking out for their
own crops, but probably their
neighbors as well. Plus they
are probably enjoying their
slow drive and the sight of
crops in the field.
A lot of things happen in
cars which adds to their sto-
ries. These stories include
those of babies being deliv-
ered, business meetings con-
ducted, lunch dates, and secret
rendezvous.
Now my own car has seen
me at my best and worst. It has
seen me with old clothes or
pajama bottoms on or it has
seen me dressed up ready for
a gig or church.
My car knows my lunch
history, names and addresses
of my friends, places I like to
frequent, who has hurt my
feelings and made me cry, and
all the crazy moments Ive
had. My car knows where I
work and how untidy and disor-
ganized I am.
My car knows way too much
about me. Now, it has never
seen me doing anything kinky,
but it knows more about me
than anyone else does and Im
glad it cannot talk. Some of the
things it would say would make
you say everyone has a story.
If your car could talk, what
stories would it tell about you?
Have you ever wondered what
stories are hidden deep within
that car you drive? Let me
know and Ill give you a
Penny for Your Thoughts.

Where did they go?
By Mark Holtsberry
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
As most of you know, birds are able
to migrate south until the warmth of spring in-
vites them back to their homes. Bats, which
are flying mammals, also migrate; but once
they reach their destination, typically the
states just south of Ohio, they will hibernate
in caves that their ancestors have occupied for
generations.
Every animal has a unique way of
handling the grueling winter months and hi-
bernation is just one way of the many ways
used to ward off blustery weather.
When the temperatures become very
low, skunks, raccoons, chipmunks, and opos-
sums are capable of going into a temporary hi-
bernation, basically a deep sleep, which
typically lasts for five days. The only true hi-
bernators that stay in Ohio without migrating
are black bears and groundhogs.
Black bears hibernation can last up
to seven-and-a-half months. Groundhogs,
whose hibernation typically lasts five months,
are the first hibernating animals to appear in
the spring when the weather starts to break in
February.
During hibernation, a ground hog is
able to reduce its body temperature by about
half and reduce its normal heart rate of 160
beats per minute to four beats a minute.
An animal that is typically viewed as
a nuisance has remarkable ways to help it sur-
vive the winter. Before you hibernate for the
winter, please consider a small donation to
help finish off the balance on the paving proj-
ect at the park. We are down to $1,200.

through the same process as
any other citizen.

QUESTION: How can we
enjoy Christmas when we
have to spend so much
money on presents? Were
stressed over our finances
all year, but it gets worse
during the holidays.
JIM: I understand your
frustration. This is a common
complaint and real challenge
for many families. With
Black Friday officially in the
rearview mirror, hopefully
these timely tips from my
friend, financial guru Ron
Blue, will still be helpful in
making this Christmas more
enjoyable and less financially
stressful:
Dont spend more than
you have. When cash is short,
its tempting to put it on the
credit card and defer payment
until next year. But January
always shows up, and with it
months of financial pain if
you dont shop wisely and ex-
ercise restraint.
Give something of lasting
value. Who hasnt bought the
perfect gift for a child, only
to find it tossed aside by the
end of Christmas Day? Dis-
cuss this with your kids, rein-
force a long-range
perspective, and explain that
you want them to have gifts
theyll enjoy for a long time.
Do something meaningful
for someone else. Make a
family project of doing a
good deed for a neighbor, a
shut-in or a relative. You can
fix a meal, rake leaves, clean
out gutters or give a service
coupon book that they can
redeem whenever they want
to.
Focus on the spiritual, not
material. Find fun and cre-
ative ways to counteract the
commercialism of Christmas,
and find creative ways to em-
phasize the spiritual signifi-
cance of the day.
Build memories. Spend
meaningful time together dur-
ing the weeks leading up to
Christmas. In the process,
youll be doing more than
stockpiling family memories,
youll be building a legacy
for generations to come.
QUESTION How do I
deal with my mother-in-
laws favoritism? Just re-
cently, when I invited her to
spend Christmas with our
family, she said she would
have to let me know after
finding out what was going
on with her daughters fam-
ily. Shes always given pref-
erence to my husbands
sister and her family and I
dont know what to do.
DR. GREG SMALLEY,
vice president, Family Min-
istries: I can empathize with
your dilemma. Its quite pos-
sible your mother-in-laws
behavior wont change, but
that doesnt mean you always
have to dance to her tune.
Sometime soon, its impor-
tant that your husband have a
chat with his mom and dad.
Simple honesty requires that
they know how the two of
you have been feeling. This
may be tough for him, espe-
cially if hes not comfortable
confronting his parents. But
its largely his responsibility
to respectfully take this up
with them.
Meanwhile, you need to set
some firm boundaries with
his folks. When discussing
future holiday plans, the two
of you should say something
like this: Mom, wed really
love to spend Thanksgiving
with you this year. We need to
have our plans in place and
confirmed by the first of Sep-
tember, so can you let us
know by then?
If she cant commit be-
cause she doesnt know what
her daughter will be doing,
calmly say, Just let us know
by the first of September, or
well need to make other
plans. Then stick to your
guns. If she doesnt respond
By Jim Daly
by the deadline, go ahead and
arrange something else.
Its critical that you remain
unavailable and that you not
back down if she acts hurt or
upset. Tell her youre sorry
and that youd love to get to-
gether with her soon. It
shouldnt take her long to get
the message.
If she leaves your family
hanging at holiday time,
shell simply lose out on see-
ing you and your kids.

Genealogy society December meeting
PAULDING The Paulding County Chapter of
the Ohio Genealogy Society met Dec. 11 at the
Paulding County Historical Society, where mem-

conditions, a festive time was had by the 25 mem-
bers in attendance.
January and February meetings will not have
featured speakers, due to winter weather condi-
tions causing possible cancellations.
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
month. Everyone is welcome.

ing County:
(Source:http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.an-
cestry.com/)
This county is all within the Black Swamp tract
and is almost everywhere to the eye a dead level.
The country roads having no obstacles to sur-
mount are laid out through the woods with which
the county is mostly covered, straight as an arrow,
and the traveler over them can see immense dis-
tances on almost any road over which he may be
passing. This, with the wilderness aspect of the
country, strikes one with peculiar emotions.
As an illustration of the general water-like flat-
ness of the Black Swamp region, one on a clear
night can stand near the depot in Defiance and see
the head-light of the locomotive just after it
emerges from the curve and is coming east at the
west end of the straight line which is the water
tank, two-and-a-half miles west of Antwerp and
23 miles away.
Other places in the country have longer
stretches of railroad line; but inequalities of grade
prevent such a long vision.
Paulding-Putnam to retire
$1 million to members
PAULDING Just in time
for the holidays, Paulding-Put-
nam Electric Cooperative will
retire $1 million in capital cred-
its to its cooperative member-
owners.
Paulding-Putnams board of
trustees authorized the pay-
ment at its recent meeting
based on the sound financial
condition of the cooperative.
Of the $1 million in capital
credits, $330,000 will be paid
out to the estates of deceased
members and $670,000 will be
allocated to the remaining
members who received service
in 1987 and/or 2012.
Current members will re-
ceive a credit on their Decem-
ber bills that will be mailed
later this month, and past mem-
bers will receive a check. The
average refund for a member
who had service in both 1987
and 2012 will be $53, but the
exact refund is determined by
the amount of electricity used
during those years.
CEO George Carter pointed
out, The financial commit-
ment of our members is recog-
nized by our board of trustees,
and is what distinguishes the
cooperative business model
from other utilities. This $1
million retirement will be a di-
rect reduction in our members
bills this month and will sup-
port our communities by put-
ting money back into the local
economy and into the pock-
ets of those we serve.
The retirement of capital
credits so called because
members provide capital to the
cooperative for it to operate
and expand depends on the
co-ops financial status. Pauld-
ing-Putnam holds on to allo-
cated capital credits to cover
emergencies, such as a natural
disaster or other unexpected
events, and to expand and re-
furbish its electric system. This
action decreases the need to
raise rates or borrow money
to pay for the infrastructure.
After a number of years, if fi-
nancial conditions permit,
Paulding-Putnam may decide
to retire a set amount of capi-
tal credits.
The board of trustees is
committed to fiscal responsi-
bility for the co-op and when
we are able to retire member
patronage, we do so, said
board president John Saxton.
The cooperative has a long
history of retiring capital
credits and we are proud to do
it again this year.
If you or someone you
know formerly had service
with Paulding-Putnam, please
call 1-800-686-2357 to up-
date your address.

In The
Garden
How cold is too cold?
Newer plantings are more sus-
ceptible, of course, but making
sure that all trees and shrubs
head into winter well hydrated
can help with this.
This is particularly important
if weve had a really hot and
dry summer when it seemed
like all we did was drag the
hose around from this garden
to that one, trying to keep
things watered. Snow helps out
here too, by providing extra
moisture during the winter and
many spring plants depend on
it as winter comes to a close.
The good news is that right
now, things are dormant. Plants
prepared for the winter begin-
ning in early fall, taking their
cues from shorter days and
colder nights. Most of them
will be just fine until spring,
when warmer temperatures
and longer days will signal
them to begin growing again.
Thats when Ill hope we
dont get a late freeze, because
it doesnt take much below
freezing to do damage to tender
new growth. But well just take
one season at a time. And lest
you think Im being negative
here (because it sort of sounds
like it), if theres one thing Ive
learned about being a gardener
its that plants are resilient little
things and theyve dealt with
Mother Natures fickle ways
before. Sure, sometimes you
lose one, but that just gives you
an excuse to try something
new.

ing, a spot next to a concrete or
stone foundation, or an area
protected by a hedge. These are
just a few of the areas that
might help some plants survive
winter better than others.
Mulching those plants that
might be marginal and more
susceptible to cold damage can
help. I have certain ones that I
add a few inches to the ground
around them in the fall to pro-
vide some extra protection dur-
ing the coldest times. Except
when I dont. Like this year. I
had good intentions, but its
just like the flu shot. I havent
gotten that yet either.
Snow is cold, but a layer of
a few inches of it on a garden
works like a blanket of insula-
tion, much like mulch. When I
see the forecast for tempera-
tures in the teens and lower, I
pray that we get a little snow
with it, and preferably before
the mercury plunges.
The snow not only protects
the plants and the roots under-
ground from temperature ex-
tremes, it also can help block
the wind, which is damaging to
parts above ground, due mainly
to desiccation, or drying.
Goodness, last week was a
cold one. Temperatures in the
teens (and lower!) made me
want to go into hibernation
until I at least cant see my
breath when Im out there. And
whats with that wind, any-
way? We can do without that
making things feel even colder.
But, weve got a lot of win-
ter yet to go and no one wants
to hear more whining about the
weather, although farmers and
gardeners are wont to do that
from time to time. I do have to
wonder though, how some of
my plants out there are faring
in this.
Around here, were in
USDA Hardiness Zones 5b/6a,
which means that theoretically,
plants that are rated for these
zones should reasonably be ex-
pected to survive temperature
extremes as cold as -15 to -10
F. But the rules for this are not
hard and fast.
First of all, these are just ex-
tremes. That doesnt mean that
Zone 5 or 6 plants will be able
to withstand extended periods
of such cold, although they
might, because there are other
factors that play an important
role in whether or not a plant
survives.
Sudden temperatures shifts
are not taken to very kindly by
some plants. Theyre like we
are; we get used to a few balmy
winter days and then all of a
sudden, the high for the day is
lucky if it reaches yesterdays
low. We dont like that very
much, and neither do they.
There is the matter of micro-
climates, which are areas spe-

CANNED FOOD AND TOY DRIVE The Grover Hill Elementary Student Council is finishing up
its canned food and toy drive. The students wanted to help out their community, just like the
Wayne Trace Jr. and Sr. High School students do. The toys that were collected went to a few
local families that needed help making the holidays a little brighter. The food drive will end today,
Dec. 18, and all items will be given to the Grover Hill Food Bank. Pictured are sixth grade WTGH
Student Council members Nate Showalter, Claire Sinn, Reid Miller and Worth Clark.

CORPORATE LOGOS TOO!
MERRY
CHRISTMAS
HOMESPUN
By
JIM LANGHAM
Steps in snow represent full circle of generational steps
On one of the snowy days
last week, I decided to soak
in natures beauty with a
walk in the beautiful Flat
Rock Reserve located along
Ohio 500 between Payne
and Paulding. As has been
the case in all of my trail
walking recently, this expe-
rience became a time to lis-
ten and reflect.
As I stepped on to the
trail, my heart was immedi-
ately captured by the beauty
of the soft snow on seed
flowers from the various
aster plants, thistles and
other winterized seeds wait-
ing for the spring warmth. It
is always amazing to me to
realize that as brown as
things may look, all plants
are very much alive, pro-
tected, but living and ready
for their spring emergence.
On this occasion, there
was something intriguing,
almost mystifying, about the
footsteps left behind as I
walked down the snow-cov-
ered trails. I looked behind
myself several times with a
spiritual realization that
every step I took left another
footprint in the freshly
fallen snow.
Suddenly I realized that
the footsteps of my heritage
had really begun five miles
from this spot in Antwerp.
My father was born there on
March 8, 1916 and gradu-
ated from high school there
in 1934.
Shortly after, he took one
giant step to completely
change trails in his life; he
accepted a job at Smith
Brothers Furniture Com-
pany in Berne, Ind. It was
there he met my mother, to-
tally changed his life from
alcoholism to a total em-
bracement of a deep Chris-
tian faith. When I entered
the picture, my father was
beginning a 43-year career
as a Sunday School teacher.
By that time, I was dropping
tracks on the trail just be-
hind this giant of a man that
sacrificed his last dollar to
reach out to others, prayed
with needy people at mid-
night, but always had time
too for a son so deeply men-
toring the steps of my dad.
Shortly after my fathers
passing on Dec. 28, 1990,
our family came full circle
on the trail ... we moved
back to Paulding County,
our children established
their own steps from the
soils of this county and God
had led our family back to
the trail of my fathers roots.
Thats what grabbed my
emotions as I walked on the
trails of the soil of this her-
itage county this afternoon ..
23 years here is longer than
I have been at any other
place in my life.
Ive laid down steps
where my father first took
his steps. When Sandi was
little, one time she wanted
to stand on my feet and
walk along with me. I want
to be your steps, Dad, she
said innocently, not fully re-
alizing the profoundness of
what she just said.
Something inside of me
wanted to cry today as I re-
flected on the steps of my life,
our family, and all of those I
pray that I have touched over
a lifetime. I looked back at
my steps, these are aging
steps now ... the journey is
delicate, sure, and carefully
executed on the homestretch
of life.
As I walked in the wintry
beauty of Paulding Countys
freshly fallen snow, I recalled
my Dads favorite passage of
scripture, But the Lord de-
lights in a mans way, He
makes his steps firm; though
he stumble, he will not fall,
for the Lord upholds him with
His hand. I was young and
now I am old, yet I have
never seen the righteous for-
saken or their children beg-
ging for bread. They are
always generous and lend
freely; their children will be
blessed. Psalm 37:23-26

Third quarter rally lifts
Wayne Trace over Paulding
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
PAULDING At the Jungle
last Tuesday, the Lady Raiders
overcame a first quarter deficit
and rallied to post a 48-37 win
over host Paulding.
The Panthers started strong,
opening a quick 10-2 advan-
tage with half of the points
coming from Sierra McCul-
lough. Jerika Bland also had a
trey and Suzanne Reinhart
picked up a bucket in the
stretch.
Wayne Trace, though, closed
the quarter on an 11-5 spurt
that got the red, white and blue
within 15-13 after eight min-
utes of action.
Baskets by Lauren Speice
and Sylvia Young gave the
Lady Raiders their first lead at
17-15 before two Reinhart foul
shots helped Paulding take a
20-19 advantage.
Consecutive buckets by
Young and Stacy Flint put the
red, white and blue on top 23-
20 with 2:04 left in the first
half. Paulding, though, got a
late basket from Brooke
Combs to trim the deficit to 23-
22 at the intermission.
Pauldings Abby Pease
opened the second half scoring
with a basket that put the Pan-
thers on top 24-23 but it would
be the last lead for the maroon
and white.
The Lady Raiders answered
with a 3-point play by Speice
that gave Wayne Trace a 26-24
advantage with 6:12 remain-
ing.
Sierra McCullough con-
verted an old fashioned 3-point
play at the 4:51 mark of the
stanza to get Paulding within
28-27 but it would be the final
points of the quarter for the
hosts.
Wayne Trace closed the
stanza on a nine-point run, get-
ting a bucket and two free
throws from Erin Mohr to go
along with three Speice mark-
ers and a Brenda Feasby bas-
ket. The spurt pushed the
Raider advantage to 37-27 at
the end of three periods.
We made a little run there at
the end of the third quarter,
commented Raider head coach
Bethany Hughes. That was a
big run to help give us a lead to
work with.
Wayne Trace posted a 37-27
lead entering the final stanza
and made it stand up for the
victory.
Paulding did cut the deficit
to five at 37-32 and 39-34, the
last of which came on a Sierra
McCullough basket with 4:19
remaining. However, the Pan-
thers would get no closer.
A Young bucket and two
Poling foul shots widened the
margin back to 43-34 with 3:35
left and the lead would never
get under seven again.
Brooke Combs scored to get
the Panthers within 43-36 but a
pair of Temple charity tosses
and two more by Poling helped
seal the Raider victory.
We played well in spurts,
but then we would have a
stretch where we turned the
ball over and didnt make
shots, noted Paulding head
coach Lyndsi Schultz. We just
have to continue to improve
and become more consistent
for 32 minutes.
Sylvia Young paced a bal-
anced Wayne Trace scoring at-
tack with 11 points while also
grabbing seven rebounds. Lau-
ren Speice added eight markers
and led all players with 16
boards on the night. Shayna
Temple, Brenda Feasby and
Madi Poling also chipped in
seven points each for the red,
white and blue.
Sylvia and Lauren both did
a very nice job for us tonight,
stated Hughes. Both of them
played very well and really
took control inside the paint for
us.
I thought we did a good job
rebounding tonight, Hughes
added. But we still have to do
a better job of taking care of the
basketball.
McCullough led all scorers
in the game with 17 points
while also grabbing six boards
and posting three steals for
Paulding. Faith Vogel had five
steals for the Lady Panthers,
who fell to 2-2 on the year.
Wayne Trace moved to 5-1
at the junior varsity level with
a 57-11 win over the Panthers.
Hollie Wannemacher led the
Lady Raiders with 13 points
while Stacy Flint chipped in 11
and Courtney Mead added 10.
Mead also had eight rebounds
to top the red, white and blue
and Estie Sinn picked up five
caroms. Flint dished out four
assists and Leah Sinn recorded
four steals.
Samantha Meggison and
Faith Vogel each had four
markers for the Lady Panthers.
Meggison also picked up seven
boards for Paulding with
Skyler McCullough dishing
out two assists and getting two
steals.

HAVILAND Wayne
Traces girls basketball
stretched its winning streak to
four games with victories over
Liberty Center and Paulding
last week.
The Lady Raiders won their
home opener with a 65-52 vic-
tory over Liberty Center to start
the weeks action.
Erin Mohr scored 22 points
to pace the red, white and blue
with Brooke Wilcox chipping
in 16 for Wayne Trace.
Wayne Trace led 13-9 after
one quarter and 25-23 at the in-
termission en route to the vic-
tory. The Lady Raiders held a
45-42 lead entering the final
stanza.
Wayne Trace put the game
away in the fourth quarter.
Following a Wilcox 3-point
play to start the scoring, the
Raiders picked up two buckets
each from Mohr and Speice to
widen the margin to 56-47.
The red, white and blue led
by as much as 62-48 in the pe-
riod before settling on the 65-
52 victory.
Lauren Speice and Brenda
Feasby chipped in eight mark-
ers for Wayne Trace with Spe-
ice grabbing 14 rebounds and
Mohr picking up nine. Mohr
also had seven steals for the
Lady Raiders while Madi Pol-
ing recorded six. Shayna Tem-
ple dished out five assists and
posted four steals.
Nikki Meyer led all scorers
with 23 points for the Tigers,
who remain winless in six
games this season.
Wayne Traces junior varsity

with a 47-13 win over the Lady
Tigers.
Danae Myers posted eight
points to pace the Raiders with
Stacy Flint chipping in six
markers. Carrie Thrasher
recorded seven steals and Flint
chipped in five steals and
dished out three assists.
Also last week, balanced
scoring and a solid third quarter
by Wayne Trace led the
Raiders to a 48-37 local rivalry
win at Paulding. (See related
story.)

College Notes
Panthers hang on
for NWC win
By JIM LANGHAM
Sportswriter
PAULDING Following a disappointing loss to rival Wayne
Trace, the Lady Panthers rebounded for a three-point, 63-60, win
over conference foe Spencerville last Thursday.
The Panthers attacked early, smacking the Bearcats to a 19-9
deficit at the end of the first stanza. The local squad continued its
attack by overpowering Spencerville, 43-25, at the halfway mark.
However, Spencerville refused to fold, trimming the Paulding
lead to 49-41 by outscoring the Panthers, 16-6 at the end of the
third stanza. The Bearcats continued to roar back in the final eight
minutes, but Paulding managed to hang on for the win.
Paulding head coach Lyndsi Schultz referred to her teams per-
formance in the Spencerville game as a tale of two halves.
We looked like two different teams, said Schultz. In the first
half, we came really aggressive on the defensive end and we were
shooting the ball really well, commented Schultz. We handled
their press very well in the first half.
We came out in the second half and played very flat, contin-
ued Schultz. We werent getting after the ball, we were commit-
ting turnovers and we werent looking to score.
Still, even with all of that, we fought back and managed to
hang on for the win, added Schultz.
In that contest, Sierra McCullough led Paulding with 13 points
while Abby Pease and Suzanne Reinhart each scored 11 points
and Brooke Combs tallied 10 points for Paulding.
Emily Meyer led the Bearcats and all scorers for the game with
17 points.
Following that game, Pauldings record stood at 3-2 overall and
1-1 in the NWC while Spencerville dropped to 0-6 overall and 0-
2 in conference play.

Costly fourth quarter
spells defeat for Archers
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
ANTWERP A low-scor-
ing fourth quarter doomed the
Antwerp Lady Archers in
picking up their first win of
the season.
In a tight contest at home
against non-conference foe
North Central, the Archers
led by a single point, 10-9,
after one quarter with both
teams scoring 16 points each
in the middle two quarters.
Holding a slim 26-25 ad-
vantage heading into the final
eight minutes, the Archers in-
creased their margin to 28-25
on a bucket by sophomore
Avery Braaten. Unfortunately
for Antwerp, it would be their
final points with North Cen-
tral scoring the final seven
points of the game to secure a
32-28 win.
Antwerp opened the con-
test with a couple of quick
baskets in the paint by Annie
Miesle and Kaiya Jemison,
and following a North Central
basket, Miesle connected
again for a 6-2 Archer lead.
Braaten came in off the bench
to score her first bucket of the
game followed by a Jemison
hoop to give the blue and
white a 10-9 first quarter lead.
Antwerp opened up its
largest lead of the contest at
14-9 when Braaten and
Kianna Recker each scored
early in the second period.
The Eagles answered with a
6-0 run to regain the advan-
tage 15-14. Braaten scored
the final bucket of the quarter
to give the Archers a one
point lead at intermission.
The third frame saw Coach
Kevin Taylors crew go on a
mini-run of their own. A
Miesle free throw and a field
goal from Audrie Longardner
and Cheyenne Miller-Sweet
propelled the Archers to a 23-
19 lead half way through the
quarter.
The third period ended on a
free throw by Jemison and the
Archers on top, 26-25, head-
ing into the final eight min-
utes of play.
Jemison led the Archer
scoring with nine points with
Braaten coming in off the
bench and contributing eight.
Miesle finished with five and
teammates Miller-Sweet,
Recker, and Longardner each
with two.
North Centrals Hannah
Siekemeyer led all scorers
with 13.
In the junior varsity game,
Antwerp outlasted the Eagles,
22-15. Holding slim two-
point lead heading into the
final quarter, the Archers tal-
lied nine points while holding
North Central to just four.
Scoring for the Archers
were Mari Hart, 11; Kianna
Recker, four; Becca Johanns,
four; Maggie Wilson, two;
and Emily Phillips, one.
Saturdays road game
against Parkway was post-
poned due to weather. It has
been rescheduled to Feb. 8 at
1 p.m.

close shot in the first half last Tuesday night.
Paulding falls short in
old-fashioned barn burner
By JIM LANGHAM
Sportswriter
The Paulding Panthers lost
out to a 4-1 Spencerville team
by one point last Friday night
in a hotly contested 53-52 loss
to the Bearcats.
Paulding jumped out to a 15-
8 advantage at the end of the
first quarter, but Spencerville
came roaring back to tie the
game at 26-26 at the halfway
mark.
The second half was be-
tween two teams that are look-
ing to be competitive in the
Northwest Conference this sea-
son. When the smoke settled,
Spencerville was on top and
boasted a 4-1 record and 1-0
mark in conference play.
Pauldings record stood at 3-2
overall and 0-1 in NWC action.
Friday night at Spencerville
was a good high school basket-
ball game, said Paulding head
coach Shawn Brewer. Both
teams played extremely hard
and there were many lead
changes throughout the con-
test.
We were down seven
points in the fourth quarter and
the guys battled back to take
the lead. It changed a few times
in the last minute but we came
up just short on two shots
under five seconds of play,
added Brewer.
Once again, the Panthers had
fairly well-balanced scoring.
Treston Gonzales and Guy
Harder each scored 15 points
for Paulding. Ben Bowers led
the Bearcats with a game-high
18 points and Dakota Prichard
added 16 points to the
Spencerville cause.
Our intensity was much
better but we still need to do a
better job of defensive re-
bounding, said Brewer. Now
we just need to go back and
continue to focus on improving
ourselves and improving each
game.
Earlier last week, Paulding
shot the eyes out of the basket
in rolling Montpelier, 92-25.
By the time the game was over,
four Panthers had scored in
double figures en route to the
win.
Treston Gonzales led all
players for the contest with 19
points, but three other Paulding
players balanced out the scor-
ing Julian Salinas, 17 points;
Guy Harder, 14 points; and
Kyle Kauser with 13 points.
Montpelier was led in scor-
ing by Jake Lueng with 10
points.
Paulding grabbed hold of the
momentum early, outscoring
the Montpelier squad, 34-9 the
first quarter and 17-2 in the
second quarter.
Against Montpelier, the
boys played very well. We just
defeated a team that is looking
to improve, observed
Brewer.
Against Montpelier JV,
Paulding won by a count of
48-35 while the Panthers de-
feated Spencerville, 44-28 at
Fridays contest.
The Panthers are home
against Allen East on Friday
before taking their act on the
road for the next five games
following Fridays contest.
