have worked so hard to make
this happen, said Ross.
After speaking for nearly
20 minutes about a wide
range of topics including his
own journey as an educator,
his family ties to Paulding

pose and potential for young
people, Ross concluded his
remarks by telling Hanak

PAULDING A time to
celebrate was in order after
the collaborative efforts of
Paulding Exempted Schools,
including the partnership of
Wayne Trace, Lincolnview
and Crestview, came to
fruition.
Recently, PEVS superin-
tendent William Hanak re-
ceived word from the Ohio
Department of Education
they would be recipients of
the Straight A grant in the
amount of $1.57 million.
The celebration of sorts
took place at Paulding High
School last Tuesday when
area school officials repre-
senting PEVS, Wayne Trace,
Crestview and Lincolnview,
along with other dignitaries in
the audience, heard from Dr.
Richard Ross, Superintendent
of Public Instruction for the
State of Ohio.
After being introduced to
the large gathering by Hanak,
the state superintendent made
his way to the platform as the
large room became notice-
ably quiet.
Its rather quiet in here and
we should be celebrating for
this is a great day for Paulding
County and for those who
check is in the mail.
Ross then excused himself
from the crowd in order to
spend time with the 15 or so
Paulding High School stu-
dents who attended the cele-
bration. In a brief Q-and-A
session, Ross and the students
connected with the opportuni-
ty to share learning tech-
niques in todays classroom
as well as the type classes
being offered today.
The Straight A funds will
be distributed with Paulding
receiving approximately
$700,000 and the other
schools receiving a portion of
the balance. Funding will be
used for promoting the
Beyond the Classroom pro-
gram, which is designed to
provide a continuum of on-
line learning opportunities for
students in grades 7-12.
In narrowing down our
choices for those who would
receive the first round of
grants, our committee was
impressed by the collabora-
tion that was apparent on your
application, said Ross.
He went on to challenge the
local school leaders by say-
ing, Now the burden is on
you. You now have to imple-
ment your program and be
successful.

PAULDING New figures have
been released for distribution of
Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT)
from the two wind farms in the county.
Together, their payments will total
nearly $1.3 million.
Funds paid by both wind farms are
dispersed to ten entities. These include
the county general fund, health depart-
ment, E-911, board of developmental
disabilities, senior center, hospital, li-
brary, Tri-County Mental Health,
Wayne Trace Local Schools, Vantage
Career Center.
Additionally, three townships bene-
fit: Benton, Blue Creek and Latty. EDP
payments go only to Benton
Township, while Iberdrolas will be
split between the remaining two.
Last year, only EDP Renewables
Timber Road II Wind Farm made pay-
ment in lieu of taxes to the county cof-
fers. They are again being assessed
$698,775. There are 55 turbines on this
farm.
This year Iberdrolas Blue Creek
Wind Farm will add its PILOT as well.
Their bill totals $592,000 with pay-
ments being split because a portion of
the 38 turbines are in Blue Creek
Township and the remainder are in
Latty Township.
Billing is handled by the Paulding
County Treasurers office in a manner
similar to real estate taxes. Both com-
panies have the option to pay in full in
February or half in February and July.
PILOT are payable in 2014 for the
year 2013.
Although EDPs payment remains
the same and the same entities receive
benefit from it, distribution amounts
will change.
According to Auditor Claudia
Fickel, this is due to the fact bonds
have been reduced at the Paulding
County Sheriffs office, the Paulding
County Hospital and at Wayne Trace
Local School District.
Paulding County Commissioners re-
cently passed resolutions approving
the following distributions, given in
percentages. They are determined by a
state formula.

Benton Township, funds to be distrib-
uted as follows:

Whether you know him by one of

over. He is an impressive presence in
person well over 6 feet tall with
enough girth to make the overstuffed
chair he is sitting in creak and groan
every time he shifts his weight. His
flowing white hair is a little reminis-

combing around the edges but his
thick beard is neatly trimmed and lay-

He is not wearing his normal uni-

Eight-year-old Virginia
OHanlon wrote a letter to
the editor of New Yorks Sun,
and the quick response was
printed as an unsigned edito-
rial Sept. 21, 1897. The work
of veteran newsman Francis
Pharcellus Church has since
become historys most
reprinted newspaper editori-
al, appearing in part or
whole in dozens of languages
in books, movies, and other
editorials, and on posters and
stamps.
DEAR EDITOR: I am 8
years old.
Some of my little friends
say there is no Santa Claus.
Papa says, If you see it in
THE SUN its so.
Please tell me the truth; is
there a Santa Claus?
VIRGINIA OHANLON.
115 WEST NINETY-
FIFTH STREET.
VIRGINIA, your little
friends are wrong. They have
been affected by the skepti-
cism of a skeptical age. They
do not believe except [what]
they see. They think that
nothing can be which is not
comprehensible by their little
minds. All minds, Virginia,
whether they be mens or
childrens, are little. In this
great universe of ours man is
a mere insect, an ant, in his
intellect, as compared with
the boundless world about
him, as measured by the in-
telligence capable of grasp-
ing the whole of truth and
knowledge.
Yes, VIRGINIA, there is a
Santa Claus. He exists as cer-
tainly as love and generosity
and devotion exist, and you
know that they abound and
give to your life its highest
beauty and joy. Alas! how
dreary would be the world if
there were no Santa Claus. It
would be as dreary as if there
were no VIRGINIAS. There
would be no childlike faith
then, no poetry, no romance
to make tolerable this exis-
tence. We should have no en-
joyment, except in sense and
sight. The eternal light with
which childhood fills the
world would be extin-
guished.
Not believe in Santa
Claus! You might as well not
believe in fairies! You might
get your papa to hire men to
watch in all the chimneys on
Christmas Eve to catch Santa
Claus, but even if they did
not see Santa Claus coming
down, what would that
prove? Nobody sees Santa
Claus, but that is no sign that
there is no Santa Claus. The
most real things in the world
are those that neither chil-
dren nor men can see. Did
you ever see fairies dancing
on the lawn? Of course not,
but thats no proof that they
are not there. Nobody can
conceive or imagine all the
wonders there are unseen
and unseeable in the world.
You may tear apart the
babys rattle and see what
makes the noise inside, but
there is a veil covering the
unseen world which not the
strongest man, nor even the
united strength of all the
strongest men that ever lived,
could tear apart. Only faith,
fancy, poetry, love, romance,
can push aside that curtain
and view and picture the su-
pernal beauty and glory be-
yond. Is it all real? Ah, VIR-
GINIA, in all this world
there is nothing else real and
abiding.
No Santa Claus! Thank
God! he lives, and he lives
forever. A thousand years
from now, Virginia, nay, ten
times ten thousand years
from now, he will continue to
make glad the heart of child-
hood.
pers with the ears drooping
over the sides. He laughs
when they are commented on
and says they were a gift from
some of the elves a few years
ago.
His laugh also places him
apart from everyone else. It
booms out, rattling windows
and catching a listener on its
waves, threatening to carry
them along. It is infectious and
makes this reporter smile.
Claus took the time recently
to sit down for an interview at
an undisclosed location.
Paulding Progress: Thank
you for taking the time to meet
with me today, Mr. Claus. I
know this must be an extreme-
ly busy time of the year for
you.
Santa Claus: Please, call me
Santa. And its not a problem
to talk with you. Jessica Mrs.
Claus signed me up for a
Pilates class to try to relieve
my stress during this time of
year but I would rather talk
with you.
PP: Speaking of being busy,
I am sure that one of the ques-
tions you get asked the most is
about how you do what you
do delivering toys all around
the world in one night. Just
how do you do it?
SC: Oh, theres no way I
could still deliver all the toys
without the TCM.
PP: The TCM?
SC: Time Continuum
Modulator. It all has to do with
quantum physics. Einstein
started the process but Werner
Heisenberg and his
Uncertainty Principle really
made it all come together. Let
me tell you, they got every-
thing they asked for on their
lists for a few years! (He
laughs.) I dont want to get too
technical but it has to do with
the flow of time and its rela-
tionship to gravity as well as
the placement of atoms. Thats
really all I am able to say con-
tractually. The placement of a
distribution warehouse system
around the world has helped a
lot, too. Lots of re-supplying
stops on Christmas Eve.
PP: Even so, it must feel
like you have to be a lot of
places at once. Even before
Christmas Eve.
SC: Yes. I should also give a
big thanks to all my helpers
who dress up like me and go
around to the malls and stores
this time of year. I still make
as many personal appearances
as possible, though, whenever
I can get out of the workshop.
The children should remem-
ber that they will never know
if it is me or one of the helpers
when they see a Santa.
(Santa reaches into the
drawer of the table beside him
and pulls out a plate of cook-
ies, offering one to this re-
porter. They smell heavenly
but I refuse. He grabs one,
however, and takes big bite.)
Are you eating another
cookie? says a sweet voice
from the other room. Ill need
to let out your pants again this
year if you dont stop.
SC: Yes, dear. I was just of-
fering some to our guest. (He
sticks the half-eaten cookie
underneath his beard and
gives me a wink.)
PP: Speaking of the work-
shop, is that where the elves
are?
SC: Yes. They are in there
most of the day this time of
year. I try to make sure they
get out and relax catch a
movie, that sort of thing just
to get their mind off their
work. But they just love mak-
ing toys so much it is hard to
make them stop. I suppose we
are all that way, though. We
wouldnt be doing this if we
didnt love it and the children.
PP: And I am sure there are
new problems every year.
Things that pop up out of the
blue?
SC: Oh, yes. One year a sci-
entific study team was up here
at the North P... I mean the
Northern Command Base and
we had to cut short our take
off and landing practice with
the reindeer. Ever since the
first two Sputniks were
launched by the Russians in
1957, I have had more and
more debris to dodge up there
in space. And even your
NORAD captures me every
year on radar and reports my
position. You would think
those analysts would learn to
stop when all they get every
year in their stocking is coal.
(Laugh)
PP: Not everybody cele-
brates Christmas in the same
way in every country. How do
you keep all the customs
straight?
SC: Sure, everyone is a little
different. In the United States
the children hang up stockings
but in Germany and Belgium
they put carrots or sugar cubes
in boots by the door for the
reindeer and I leave them
candy or gifts. Actually, in the
Netherlands, Belgium and a
few other countries, I tradi-
tionally visit on Dec. 5 or 6.
The chimney thing has
changed a lot, too.
PP: The chimney thing? Are
you talking about going into
houses by using the chimney?
SC: Yes, I cant do it that
way as much anymore. So
many people build their hous-
es now without a working fire-
place. So I use a window or a
back door thats why I dont
worry as much about this. (He
shakes his belly with both
hands and laughs.) I dont
have to be quite so light on my
feet if Im not up on icy
rooftops.
PP: I see you have been rub-
bing your hand a lot since we
sat down. Did you have an ac-
cident in the shop?
SC: Oh, no. Dont get the
Workers Comp people in here
after me. (Another laugh) No,
I always have hand cramps by
this time of year after answer-
ing the letters from the chil-
dren. Email has been a bless-
ing in the last few years, how-
ever. I get their lists quicker
and I am able to answer back
right away, too. It has really
streamlined the process. I am a
little worried about Carpal
Tunnel Syndrome, though.
Im giving Bill Gates coal
every year until he figures out
a good speech recognition
program for Windows.
PP: So the lists are still what
you are working from?
SC: Yes and no. We convert
the lists now to electronic doc-
uments and I download them
all to my PDA. I installed the
extra memory pack. (He
reaches into his pocket and
pulls it out.) See, with this I
can just type in a name and it
automatically pulls up the list.
It is constantly updated with a
Naughty or Nice designa-
tion by WiFi. Much more ef-
fective than the long rolls of
paper. Have you ever tried to
find a name on a roll of paper
at 15,000 feet over Nova
Scotia? Its not any fun, let me
tell you. See here, if I type in
your name... (He frowns.) It
says here that you complained
recently in a column about a
Pong Game I brought you
back in 1975....
PP: Well, I want to thank
you for sitting down with me
today, Santa. It has been a real
pleasure. Is there anything else
you would like to say to the
readers of the Progress?
SC: Merry Christmas to all
and to all a good night!

DELMAR STOLLER
1925-2013
PAULDING Delmar Ray
Stoller, age 88, passed into
eternity Saturday evening,
Dec. 21, at the Inpatient Hos-
pice Center in Van Wert.
He was born at home April
12, 1925, the youngest son of
Jacob and Bertha (Huber)
Stoller. He and his three older
brothers, Roy, Loren and
William, were raised on the
family farm due south of
Briceton in Paulding County.
At age 16, Delmar surren-
dered his heart to Jesus and
was baptized Nov. 2, 1941 to
become a member of the
Apostolic Christian Church
for 72 years. Upon graduation
from Haviland-Scott High
School in 1943, Delmar
farmed with his dad, two
brothers and uncle Albert
Stoller, a deaf-mute who was
an influential mentor for him.
On Nov. 5, 1950, he married
Marguerite Mary Gerber,
daughter of Fred & Katherine
(Kipfer) Gerber. Their mar-
riage was blessed with four
children, Ray, Rod, Mardel
and Carol.
Early on, Delmar provided
for his family via agriculture
and a poultry farm, transition-
ing to a 30-year plant man-
agement career with Erie
Haven Ready Mix plants in
New Haven and Fort Wayne.
He retired in 1989, remaining
active with part-time work at
Insource Technologies, Pauld-
ing, Custom Assembly, Havi-
land, and including 15 years at
Publix Supermarket in Sara-
sota, Fla. His lifelong passion
was living for Christ and sup-
porting his Church in Latty and
Sarasota, with an unrestrained
love and commitment for his
wife and family, coupled with
firm loyalty and appreciation
for his friends and country. He
sincerely believed in the Bible
principal of teaching his chil-
dren the way that they should
go, so that when they were old,
they would not depart from it.
Nothing gave him greater joy
and purpose in life than to sing
and hear the Gospel pro-
claimed in Word and song. His
most valuable possession was
his Faith and Hope in the Lord
Jesus Christ.
Delmar is survived by his
beloved wife of 63 years,
Marguerite; his children, Ray
(Carol) of Paulding, Rodney
(LeAnn) of Van Wert, Mardel
(Robert) Dotterer of Rittman,
and Carol (William) Eisen-
mann of Woodburn; 15
grandchildren; 45 great-
grandchildren; a sister-in-law,
Helen Stoller; and many
nieces, nephews and cousins
of the Stoller/Huber, Ger-
ber/Kipfer heritage.
Delmar was preceded in
death by his parents; older
brothers; and infant great-
grandsons, Sage and Sawyer
Pelfrey, whom he believed
will be with Christ to wel-
come him into Heavens
Glory.
Funeral services will be
conducted 10:30 a.m. Tues-
day, Dec. 24 at Latty Apos-
tolic Christian Church, Latty.
Burial will follow in the Latty
Apostolic Christian Church
Cemetery. Den Herder Fu-
neral Home is in charge of
arrangements.
Donations may be made to
Country Inn Enhanced Living
Center, Paulding or the Inpa-
tient Hospice Center, Van

would be nice, so that Joes
tools would stay where they
belong, I suppose. I think
when we go shopping we
should take that into consid-
eration.
Kevin, 8, on the other hand,
isnt into tools so much yet.
He goes through one note-
book after another, writing
stories. Im glad I bought
some when they were on sale.
One night, he was reading
me a story that he wrote. It
was about a trip he took to the
mountains and shot a big
mountain lion that was about
to attack his dad. Then he
goes on to explain what a big
gun he used to shoot it.
And, he explains how hard
it was to drag it home. He has
a big imagination. Some-
times, while Im getting sup-
per, hell sit by the kitchen
table asking how to spell
words for his story.
Although it can be a bit
time consuming, I am so glad
he takes such an interest in
learning. I think all our chil-
dren like writing stories, so a
lot of times that is what they
will do in their free time.
Verena is now 16. We will
have cake and ice cream to
celebrate her birthday tomor-
row night. She also likes hot
wings, so that will be one
Oh my! Looking at the cal-
endar Christmas is only 13
days away. It seems such a
short time between Thanks-
giving Day and Christmas
this year. The year 2013 went
so fast, although, it seems
every year does. We are hav-
ing very cold single digit tem-
peratures this week. We also
have several inches of snow,
so it gives a person the holi-
day spirit.
Benjamin, 14, and Joseph,
11, built a sled and they are
patiently waiting for a big
snow so the ponies can pull it
around. We have enough
snow for the children to slide
down the hill with the
boughten sleds, but this
homemade one is a bit too
heavy for that. I hope for their
sake it will provide hours of
fun once the big snow arrives.
The boys are at the age
where they like to build
things. They use scrap pieces
of wood Joe has and his tools.
It can get a little frustrating
for my husband, Joe, when
they use his tools and not al-
ways get them back where
they belong.
Im glad they take an inter-
est in trying to build new
things. They both have tools
on their own Christmas list.

thing on the menu. Hopefully,
itll warm up, so it wont be
too cold to put them on the
grill.
We have all the winter
clothes clutter around now.

In The
Garden
The gifts of gardening
your garden and it can be as
easy as a small open piece of
glassware planted with some
succulents such as hens and
chicks (Sempervivum spp.)
These are easy to grow, even
for the non-gardener.
Gift-giving from the gar-
den doesnt have to be limited
to Christmas time and most
of us that grow things share
throughout the year.
Bouquets of homegrown
flowers are always welcome,
especially if theyre unex-
pected. Food gifts made from
the gardens bounty are al-
ways appreciated. Zucchini
might not excite you, but how
about zucchini bread or cook-
ies?
And while youre planning
ahead, why not plant a row
for the hungry? Grow some
extra food in your garden this
year and when harvest time
comes around, donate it to a
food pantry. Thats a gift
thats valued more than you
know.
There. Clip this column for
future reference, for when
youre stumped for gift ideas.
May you be blessed by the
gifts that God gives us every
day and most especially by
the gift of His son, as we cel-
ebrate Christmas.

sauce and salsa right there.
Homemade tomato juice is
really easy.
Every year we grow red
beets because there cant be
anything easier than pickling
those at the end of the season.
Cut the tops off, boil them,
slip the skins away, and put in
canning jars with vinegar,
sugar and a little water. Yum.
I save seeds from the gar-
den every year, as gardeners
have done for hundreds of
years before. Thats how heir-
loom plants are preserved
throughout time. Heirlooms
are special and highly
adapted to our specific area,
because plants are awesome
like that. There are seed
packet templates that can be
found online which you can
print out and glue together for
containing a personal gift
from your own garden fa-
vorites.
You can be crafty with
plants, too. A tabletop terrar-
ium can be a living piece of
Every year at this time, I
experience a wee bit of stress
and I have a feeling Im not
alone. The holiday season
tends to do that. In spite of it
coming at exactly the same
time every year, Christmas
sneaks up on me and all of a
sudden, here it is and Im not
ready.
I dont have to fix a meal,
nor do we host any major fes-
tivities in our home. Our fam-
ily is blessed in that we dont
really need a thing in the way
of physical gifts, yet its just
that aspect of Christmas that
incites panic in the week be-
fore. Its not supposed to be
that way.
So I started to think about
nontraditional gifts that can
be found right in my own
backyard. Yes, its too late for
this year, but its never too
early to start planning for the
next, especially when the
gifts are homegrown.
The garden provides a
number of things that can be
gift worthy. We grow black-
berries and grapes and they
make the best jelly. Even
when the jelly doesnt set
properly, it makes good ice
cream topping. (Ask me how
I know.) If youre really am-
bitious and good at planning
ahead, you can make wine.
Of course there are other
prepared foods that just about
anyone would love to receive.
Do you grow tomatoes? Pep-
pers? Onions? Garlic? Those
are the makings of spaghetti

Tips for online shopping
DEFIANCE With the holidays quickly ap-
proaching, the Independent Community Bankers
of America (ICBA) and First Federal Bank offer
consumers the following tips to consider if they
are planning to make any of their holiday pur-
chases online.
Even though the holiday season can be quite
busy, its never too busy to ensure that your per-
sonal information is safe when shopping online,
said Bill Loving, ICBA chairman and president
and CEO of Pendleton Community Bank,
Franklin, W.Va.
The total financial loss attributed to identity
theft in 2013 is estimated to be $21 billion, ac-
cording to http://www.statisticbrain.com/iden-
tity-theft-fraud-statistics.
Consumers need to be on high alert this holi-
day season, and any time they choose to make
purchases online, to avoid falling victim to iden-
tity theft and to protect their sensitive financial
information.
With that in mind, ICBA and First Federal
Bank offer the following tips:
Make sure your computer and browser are
secure. Set your firewall, anti-virus and anti-spy-
ware software to automatically update and scan
your computer.
Dont create passwords that include easily
accessible personal information, such as
mothers maiden name or date of birth. Instead,
use something unique that only you know.
Dont give personal information over the
phone, through the mail or on the Internet unless
you know whom youre dealing with and prefer-
ably only if youve initiated the contact.
Never give out Social Security or drivers li-
cense numbers. If you must share personal in-
formation, confirm that you are dealing with a
legitimate organization.
If you receive an email asking for personal
information, do not hit the reply button or click
on any link in the email. Instead, go directly to
the senders site by typing in its website address.
Look for secure sites with an s in the URL
(https://) and a closed-padlock icon on the Web
page when making purchases. These websites
are secure.
Always double-check the URL to be sure
you are shopping with the company you in-
tended to shop with. A simple typo can help
identity thieves.
The most important thing is our customers
safety and financial security, Jim Williams,
Western Market Area president, First Federal
Bank. If any customer has questions about the
security of their financial information, our team
at First Federal Bank is more than happy to an-
swer any problems or concerns you might have.
We want information about you and your family
to be safe and protected at all times.
During inclement weather, drivers should
allow more time for themselves to arrive at their
destination, increase following distance behind
other vehicles, and slow down sooner for turns
and stops, said Lieutenant Les Brode, Van Wert
Post commander. Already this year, the Van Wert
Post has seen two deaths during this season and
we hope to prevent further loss of life.
Lt. Brode urged motorists and occupants to
buckle up anytime they are in a motor vehicle as
it is one of the most effective ways of preventing
injury or death during a traffic crash.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol reminds area
residents to prepare their vehicle for winter driv-
ing. Have your battery, cooling system, tires,
wipers, and defrosters all checked to ensure they
are all in good condition and working properly.
In case of a vehicle breakdown, motorists
should turn on their hazard warning lights, safely
position the vehicle as far off the road as possible,
call #677 for assistance and remain in the vehicle
until help arrives, explained Lieutenant Brode.
VAN WERT Winter weather driving is here
to stay and the Ohio State Highway Patrols Van
Wert Post is asking all motorists to take additional
care when driving during this season.
During the winter months of December 2012
through March 2013, 103 weather-related crashes
occurred in Van Wert and Paulding counties. Dur-
ing this time period, there were two deaths in the
Van Wert Post area.
Statewide, there were 42 deaths and 5,523 in-
juries in 18,779 weather related crashes.
In the event of inclement weather, the Patrol is
urging motorists to allow extra time to get to their
destination, maintain a safe distance between their
vehicle and the traffic ahead, pay close attention
to bridges and overpasses as they are often the
first to freeze over and to drive slowly, as every-
thing including accelerating, turning and braking,
take longer on snow-covered roadways.
The factors in most weather related crashes are
unsafe speed, following too closely, and failure to
control.
Mrs. Stuckeys second grade class at Grover Hill Elementary recently made reindeer in class.
Using that as a springboard, they then wrote creative stories about their reindeer. Pictured from
left are Tucker Antoine, Lynsey Pease, Harley Halliwill, Citlali Aguilar and Kaden Landwehr.

THE LONG CALL
I have always loved people
and consider myself a people
person. I love talking to differ-
ent folks and finding out their
interests. I dont care if I talk to
someone on the telephone, the
Internet or in person. The other
night I placed a telephone call
to my satellite provider to make
some changes to my program-
ming. This turned out to be a
very long, interesting conversa-
tion.
After dialing the number and
punching in my information, I
was connected to a lady who
spoke with a heavy accent. She
told me her name and said that
she would be helping me with
any problems I had.
Now, the gal seemed really
nice and polite, but it was a lit-
tle hard to understand her with
her heavy brogue. I told her the
changes I wanted made and she
proceeded to try and help me.
She did speak very slowly and
then I asked her, Where are
you located?
She told me, The Philip-
pines. Naturally, I asked how
the weather was and told her
about all the snow we had here.
Then Miss Philippines said,
I have never seen snow before
and the weather here is beauti-
ful.
After she found what she
thought was the solution to my
problem, she said that she had
to connect me to her partner
who would go over my account
with me. So, I was transferred
to another customer service rep.
The second rep asked me the
same questions as the previous
one, but she did not have an ac-
cent. Then she advised me that
she was going to help and find
me the best money deal possible
on my satellite service.
This girl was very pleasant
and I asked her, Where are you
located?
This lady said, Nebraska.
She told me that the temper-
ature in Nebraska was approxi-
mately 47, but the week before
they had got a lot of snow. I then
told her that I had just spoken to
a gal in the Philippines.
Miss Nebraska asked me ex-
citably, Did you ask her about
the big hurricane that struck
there?
I said, No, I really didnt.
Miss Nebraska and I chatted
about reality shows, television
channels and then she offered
me what seemed like a good
deal. After I told her this certain
deal sounded pretty good, she
arranged for me to verify my
changes with her service part-
ner.
She said, I am now transfer-
ring you to another rep who will
verify the changes to your serv-
ice.
I wished Miss Nebraska a
Merry Christmas and waited
to be transferred to my third
representative.
After a short wait, a man with
another accent came on the
phone. He told me that the con-
versation was being recorded
and he was going to go over my
changes with me.
I asked him, Sir, what coun-
try are you from?

He replied, India.
Mr. India began to go over
my new service details and just
happened to mention that what
I was led to believe was a
money saver, was actually
going to add $23 a month to my
bill.
I spoke up and said, I have
been on the phone for one hour
and no one ever mentioned to
me I was going to get extra
money tacked on my bill. So
now, I really dont want any-
thing.
I was a little upset with the
length of time it took to make a
few changes on my bill, but
look at it this way. I got to talk
to three different people in three
different countries. However, I
still did not really get anything
settled.
I admit it was really interest-
ing to see these bigger compa-
nies in action, but for the life of
me, I cant figure out why it
took three people, miles away
from each other, just to try and
help one person.
However, all was not in vain.
Miss Philippines and Miss Ne-
braska invited me to visit them
and Mr. India basically was just
surprised I didnt want extra
added on my bill. He just said,
Thank you, thank you very
much, Maam. What other is-
sues can I help you with today?
Have you ever visited or been
talking on the telephone to a
customer service rep? Have you
ever had three people who tried
to help you, but simply did not?

Kohart wins scholarship from
Ohio Rural Electric Cooperatives
COLUMBUS The Ohio

more Mary Katie Kohart
with a Cooperative Intern
Scholarship worth $800.
Kohart interned with

sources and member services
manager, Katie was instru-
mental in getting our Co-op
Connections Card program
completed. She took owner-
ship of the program and con-
tacted business owners, pre-
pared communication articles
and created spreadsheets for
tracking. She prepared the
member letter and prepared
all for mailing. I didnt have
to manage her or oversee
her work. Katie showed a lot
of initiative in completing this
project which allowed me to
concentrate on other proj-
ects.
The purpose of the ORECs
Cooperative Intern Scholar-
ship program is to expose
young people to the career
opportunities available in the
rural electric program and to
give them encouragement and
financial assistance in pursuing
their careers.

Mrs. Brennemans 6th grade language arts classes at Payne Elementary wrote persuasive and
descriptive papers trying to convince gingerbread people to live in the house they were selling.
They then created these houses out of graham crackers, icing and other sweet treats.
Paulding Elementary third graders performed a wonderful concert on Dec. 5. The students had
been working hard for a number of months under the direction of Mrs. Dawn Sloan. Mrs. Sloan
and the other third grade teachers, Mrs. Doster, Mrs. Rohlf, Mrs. Crossland and Mrs. Wilhelm,
and the rest of the elementary staff were all very impressed with the third graders and commend
them on a job well done. Mrs. Tear, the elementary principal, performed a solo.

Wild about roses. Think native
By Mark Holtsberry
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
A rose is not always a rose. Beautiful hybrids
that make up the rose industry for cut roses, land-
scape roses, rose gardens and more, have little
in common with the native and wild roses of
their ancestors.
But as the interest in natural continues to in-
crease, so it will be with roses where native land-
scaping and less formal gardens rediscover the
merits of native and wild roses.
Native and wild are not the same thing when
referring to roses. Many wild roses from Europe
and Asia have escaped cultivation and are natu-
ralized in the American landscape. Some are
classified as a noxious weed in 12 states, such as
the Rosa multiflora.
Native landscapes capture the brief season
beauty of our native roses. Native roses are lim-
ited in color, mostly pink, but with some varia-
tion from almost white to crimson red. Never
yellow or the artificial colors so sought after by
hybrid breeders and collectors. The blooms are
always five petal and seldom last more than a
couple of weeks. Most are small shrubs with
canes which are no longer than three to four feet
or almost ground cover.
Our heritage of North American native roses
are limited. These are not the naturalized wild
roses we often see growing around abandoned
farmsteads which may have their roots dating
back to the Roman Empire. Our true natives are
present throughout most states, but they may not
be widespread.
The value to the landscape of native roses goes
well beyond the oriental merits of their blooms.
Their flowers provide important pollen for bees,
their habit provides secure nesting sites for birds
and shelter for small mammals and fruits are an
important source of food with antioxidants for
every creature which consume them, including
humans.
The Nature Center Park and grounds provide
the looks and smells of these native roses in the
spring and early summer. Think spring!
Our annual tree sales are currently beginning to
start. For more information, stop in the the Pauld-
ing County Extension office or call the Paulding
County SWCD office at 419-399-4771.

QUESTION: How can we
parent effectively when so
many of our friends and rel-
atives have values that con-
flict with ours? This is
especially tough when were
all together for the holidays.
JIM: Our counselors
would encourage you to
begin by making sure that
everyone in your household is
absolutely clear about the val-
ues, priorities and spiritual
perspectives that define you
as a family. Take the time to
provide your children with
easily understandable reasons
for the rules you live by and
equip them to graciously, but
confidently, articulate these
principles themselves when
asked.
Once this is done, youll be
better positioned to deal with
these challenges when your
kids spend time in homes
where the standards and con-
victions differ from your
own.
If you run into conflicts,
humbly tell the friends or rel-
atives concerned that while
you love them and respect
their feelings, its your re-
sponsibility to raise your chil-
dren in the way you feel is
right.
Naturally, you should try to
understand the motivations
behind their behavior. If its
obvious theyre contradicting
you out of pure spite or sim-
ple lack of concern, dont
hesitate to limit future visits
until things change.
But, if it seems clear that
they really love your chil-
dren, if, for instance, its a
case of doting grandparents
who dole out too many
sweets in an attempt to gain a
place in their grandkids af-
fections, then look for cre-
ative ways to defuse the
situation by enlisting them as
members of your team. Ex-
plain that youre trying to
raise your children according
to a certain set of standards,
and that you wont be able to
succeed without their cooper-
ation and assistance. Theyll
probably jump at the chance
to help you out.
Question: My husband is
always hurting my feelings
with careless and cutting re-
marks. He says hes only
teasing or tells me Im too
sensitive, but its no joke to
me. How can I get him to
stop?
DR. GREG SMALLEY,
vice president, Family Min-
istries: The scenario youve
described, though very com-
mon, can have many causes.
Communication is a complex
thing and is influenced by un-
derlying emotions and
learned behaviors.
For many of us men, much
of our lives have been spent
trading jabs and poking fun at
other guys. Its often how we
bond with each other. Unfor-
tunately, we have to learn the
hard way that it doesnt al-
ways have the same effect
with the opposite sex.
It may also suggest that
your husbands not comfort-
able having a serious conver-
sation with you. This
behavior is sometimes passed
down through families who
have a hard time expressing
their feelings or dealing with
difficult issues.
The old proverb, Many a
truth is spoken in jest, may
also apply here. Often a per-
son may be upset with their
By Jim Daly
spouse, but the only way he
or she feels safe in expressing
this is through hurtful humor.
Or, it could be a problem of
sensitivity, either his lack
thereof, or possibly your
overactive sense. Both are
obstacles to emotional inti-
macy and should be evalu-
ated honestly.
Id start by looking at your
relationships with mutual ac-
quaintances other than your
respective families. Does
your husband routinely of-
fend them? Do they see him
as self-centered and unfeel-
ing? Are you frequently hurt
by others? Are you critical, or
do you struggle with low self-
esteem?
The goal here isnt to as-
sign blame, but to gain an un-
derstanding of each other,
which is the first step toward
resolution. Since this typi-
cally works best with the help
of a caring counselor, Id en-
courage you to contact Focus
on the Family for a referral to
a qualified marriage therapist
in your area. Call us at 855-
771-HELP (4357). Were
here and happy to help.
Winning the Battle for a Generation
By Rick Jones
exec. director, Defiance
Area Youth for Christ
Have you seen wholeness come from bro-
kenness?
Christmas time is often a season of great
challenge and difficulty for many. If you find
yourself facing some very hard times, it is my
prayer that the following story will lift your
up.
A new program at Walter Reed Medical
Center is trying to help wounded warriors re-
cover from the incredible losses theyve expe-
rienced in war.
Battlefield medicine has gotten better and
better, but that also means that the people
theyre saving are increasingly injured. So,
some of these injured soldiers are finding heal-
ing through a community based on music.
For instance, recently a band of wounded
soldiers performed at Madison Square Garden
in a concert called Stand Up for Heroes. The
vocalist for the band was Marine Corporal
Tim Donley, who lost both of his legs and the
use of his right arm in a roadside bomb in
Afghanistan.
Even though he cant walk, salute, or shake
someones hand, hes grateful to be part of a
group where his singing voice is valued. His
signature song has become Leonard Cohens
Hallelujah.
The lyrics of the song are hauntingly honest,
Its not a cry you can hear at night. Its not
somebody who has seen the light. Its a cold and
its a broken Hallelujah.
Donley told a reporter, I thought I understood
that song, but the next thing you know, my whole
life is coming down around my ears. Every
dream, every hope Ive ever had for the future is
broken around me, and I dont know where to
turn, and it was at that place that God said, Do
you still trust me? Do you still believe that I have
whats best for you? And it was at that moment
that I understood Hallelujah. I may be more
whole now than Ive ever been in my life.
In that place of belonging Donley and his
friends are discovering wholeness in spite of
their brokenness.
The scriptures remind us of the words of Jesus
that when were burdened, broken over the
things of life Matthew 11:28-30 (NIV), (28)
Come to me, all you who are weary and bur-
dened and I will give you rest. (29) Take my
yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gen-
tle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for
your souls. (30) For my yoke is easy and my bur-
den is light.

PAULDING In a phe-
nomenal display of defense,
Paulding roared out to a 41-2
halftime lead en route to 74-
36 pasting of Allen East at
home on Friday evening.
In a game laden with strong
support from fans and stu-
dents, excitement mounted as
the Panthers ruled the floor,
14-2, in the first quarter, and
then shut out the visitors, 27-
0, in the second stanza.
The fans did a great job,
they were a big part of the
game, commented Paulding
head coach Shawn Brewer.
As we go on the road the
next five games in a row, I
hope that we will have a sim-
ilar following of support from
them.
Behind the steady and bal-
anced scoring of Treston
Gonzales, with 16 points,
Kyle Kauser, who bucketed
14 points, and Guy Harders
12 points, the local squad im-
proved its record to 4-2 over-
all and 1-1 in the Northwest
Conference.
Allen East fell to 0-5 over-
all and 0-2 in the NWC.
In addition to its strong de-
fensive play, Brewer credited
his teams patience offense
for it success. The Panthers
hit 56 percent of their shots, a
sign of how well the players
looked for good shots, said
Brewer.
The fellows took the time
and made that extra pass,
said Brewer. That was good
shooting; a lot of it had to do
with taking the good shot.
They came out and played
really well; they executed the
game plan the way we
wanted, Brewer sai
After that close loss to
Spencerville, we went to work
hard in practice this week. We
found out some of the little
things we needed to work on.
The guys got after it in prac-
tice. I thought we had a real
good week in working hard
this past week, continued
Brewer.
The Paulding squad domi-
nated every part of the game,
outrebounding the Mustangs
30-18 and forcing 26 Allen
East turnovers while commit-
ting just 10 miscues.
In junior varsity play, Pauld-
ing defeated Allen East, 57-38.

their chances at the Bryan
Holiday girls basketball tour-
nament this weekend.
It all starts at 6 p.m. on Fri-
day evening, Dec. 27 when
the local squad takes on the
challenge of an up-and-com-
ing Fairview team.
They are quick with the
ball; they have a couple of
good shooters and a good
transition game, said Pauld-
ing head coach Lyndsi
Schultz. Theyve had a cou-
ple of good wins early. It
should be a great game.
The Panthers are currently
boasting a 4-3 record, the best
mark in recent years going
into the holiday event,
Schultz said.
Following the Paulding-
Fairview game, host team
Bryan will take on Stryker,
two squads that Schultz feels
even out the field in any-
bodys tournament. The win-
ners will play for the
championship on Saturday
evening.
Bryan is down a little this
year but they still have that
Schindler girl, a really solid
player, observed Schultz.
Stryker has one of the better
players in the area in Connor
Varner. It should really make
for a well-balanced tourna-
ment.
This past week, the Pan-
thers split a pair of games.
On Tuesday evening, the
local squad just barely got by
a determined Montpelier
team, 66-56, in overtime.
The Panthers opened a 17-
12 lead at the end of the first
quarter, but Montpelier
roared back to grab a 25-22
lead at the half. The visitors
expanded their lead to 43-34
at the end of three quarters
before Paulding fought back
to outscore Montpelier, 18-9,
in the final quarter and put the
game into overtime.
Im really proud the way
the girls fought back to get
into the game. We were down
10 points and then came
back. Thats something we
havent done in recent years,
said Schultz.
Abby Pease kept us in the
game, offensively, added the
mentor. She scored 18 points
for us. Offensively, the turn-
around came when we as-
signed Varner to their point
guard, Hannah Blake. Varner
stopped her scoring and we
were able to come back.
Blake led all scorers with
23 points.
On Thursday, the Panthers
traveled to Herrod and lost a
50-39 decision to an intense
Allen East team. In that con-
test, the Mustangs raced to a
44-16 advantage after three
quarters.
In the final stanza, Pauld-
ing turned on the power and
outscored Allen East, 23-6,
but the mountain was too
high to climb at that point.
Brooke Combs led Pauld-
ing (4-3 overall and 1-2 in
conference play) with 10
points.
It was the same thing that
we have experienced against
them in previous years,
commented Schultz. We
committed too many
turnovers and let them get too
many rebounds. They out-
worked us.
with so much intensity and
we struggled to maintain it,
added Schultz.

Five-point possession sparks WT win over Parkway
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
HAVILAND Wayne
Traces boys basketball fi-
nally opened its season Fri-
day night at the Palace and
the Raiders looked like they
were coming off of an ex-
tended football season.
With Parkway leading
most of the way, it was a late
five-point possession that
turned the tide in Wayne
Traces favor as the Raiders
rallied for a 52-47 victory
over the visiting Panthers.
A trey by Austin Adams put
the black and gold on top 42-
39 with 4:48 left in the con-
test, but it would be
Parkways last lead of the
night.
The momentum switched
to Wayne Traces side with
3:16 remaining as the Raiders
took advantage of a five-point
possession. Freshman guard
Ethan Linder connected on
his third three-pointer of the
evening. The red, white and
blue also got a pair of free
throws from junior Corbin
Linder, who was fouled set-
ting a screen for his younger
brothers shot.
The Raiders led 44-42 after
the possession and would
never look back.
It was a huge turnaround
for us, noted Raider head
coach Jim Linder. We knew
coming in that we wouldnt
necessarily play our best
game, but you also have to
give Parkway a lot of credit.
very hard and made some
plays tonight.
After a Parkway turnover,
Corbin Linder added two
more foul shots to widen the
Raider lead to 46-42 at the
2:45 mark before Adams
again connected from long
distance to trim the deficit to
46-45 with 2:35 remaining.
With Wayne Trace on top
48-47, two Colby Speice foul
shots pushed the margin to
50-47 before T.J. Blackmore
finished the scoring at the
1:02 mark to make it 52-47.
Its good to get the win,
commented the Raider men-
tor. I thought there were
times where we showed po-
tential, but we also had times
that it showed we have only
had a few practices. We just
need to improve from here
and keep getting better.
Early on, it appeared
Wayne Trace was ready to
open the game up early on.
Corbin Linder hit three
straight treys for the first nine
points of the game, giving the
Raiders a 9-0 advantage with
6:30 remaining in the opening
stanza.
The black and gold,
though, rallied.
Parkway put together a 17-
2 run, highlighted by 10
points from Brant Barna, in
taking a 17-11 lead late in the
opening stanza. Wayne
Traces Jake Arend picked up
two late baskets in getting the
Raiders within 17-15 at the
end of one quarter.
Barna really hurt us
early, added Linder. Park-
way did a good job of finding
the open man and they were
able to get some good scoring
opportunities.
The Panthers still led 26-22
at the intermission before
posting a 37-32 advantage en-
tering the final stanza.
Wayne Trace tied the game
for the first time at 39-39,
using a Blackmore bucket to
knot the score with 5:30 left
in the contest.
Corbin Linder bucketed 21
points to lead all scorers in
the contest with his freshman
brother Ethan adding nine
markers. Arend chipped in
eight while David Sinn and
Blackmore posted six apiece.
Arend also topped Wayne
Trace with eight boards while
Speice and Sinn picked up six
caroms each. Ethan Linder
and Arend posted three steals
each.
Barna, Adams and Tanner
Bates all finished with 10
points for Parkway, which
fell to 2-3 on the season. Matt
Heindel chipped in seven
markers for the Panthers.
Adams grabbed six boards
to lead Parkway while dish-
ing out three assists and post-
ing four steals.
Wayne Traces junior var-
sity also was victorious in its
season opener with a 41-9
win over the Panthers.
Alec Vest had seven mark-
ers for the Raiders while
Luke Miller, Nick Glass,
Cole Shepherd, Gabe Wobler
and Quinton Harper posted
four each. Shepherd and
Miller had six boards each for
the red, white and blue.
Parkway dropped to 2-3 on
the year.
Wayne Trace will travel to
cross-state rival Woodlan on
Friday before hosting rival
Crestview for a non-league
battle at the Palace on Sat-
urday.

45 win over visiting Fort Jen-
nings.
Erin Mohr bucketed 16

of action.
The red, white and blue
continued the run in the sec-
ond quarter, getting two

However, the rest of the

keteers.
Fort Jennings closed the
period on an 11-2 run, led by

as the orange and black
trimmed the deficit to 25-22
at the intermission.
Wayne Trace, though, an-
swered in the third quarter.
The Raiders outscored the
Musketeers 18-9 in the third

Twin towers lift WT to
win over Lincolnview
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
HAVILAND Wayne Trace took advantage
of a size advantage inside and a depth advan-
tage overall to post a 60-47 win over visiting
Lincolnview in non-league girls basketball ac-
tion last Monday night at the Palace.
The twin towers of seniors Sylvia Young (6-
foot-3) and Lauren Speice (5-foot-11) com-
bined for 34 points and 18 rebounds as the
Lady Raiders enjoyed a 38-25 rebounding ad-
vantage overall. Young bucketed 20 points and
picked up five boards with Speice adding 14
markers and 13 rebounds, her first double-
double of the season.
Sylvia and Lauren both did a nice job in-
side for us tonight, noted Raider head coach
Bethany Hughes. We had a size advantage
and the girls did a good job of taking advan-
tage of it, getting the ball inside to them for
good scoring opportunities.
The Raiders opened the game up late in the
third quarter, thanks in part to an 11-2 advan-
tage on the boards. Wayne Trace posted seven
offensive caroms in the stanza while limiting
the Lancers to zero defensive rebounds in the
quarter.
They did a good job of using their size and
we simply didnt have an answer for that,
commented Lincolnviews Dan Williamson.
Our girls played hard and we battled, but we
just dont have the size to match up with a
team that big.
Trailing 26-21 at halftime, the Lancers
Christine Stemen connected on her first trey
of the evening to get the blue and gold within
26-24.
After a pair of Young baskets, another three-
pointer from Stemen kept Lincolnview within
30-27.
With Wayne Trace leading 36-34, the
Raiders were able to open the game up late in
the quarter. Consecutive baskets from Shayna
Temple and Estie Sinn, along with two Speice
free throws, pushed the Raider lead to 42-34.
We came out and really did a good job of
working and competing there early in the sec-
ond half, continued the Lancer mentor. I
dont know if we got tired or what happened
there late in the period, but Wayne Trace was
able to get some offensive rebounds and they
took advantage.
A bucket by Julia Thatcher pulled the
Lancers within 42-36 before the Raiders an-
swered with baskets from Speice, Sinn and
Brooke Wilcox in grabbing a 48-36 advantage
after three periods.
Our bench came up with some key points
tonight, especially there in the third quarter,
Hughes commented. We got solid play from
our inside girls and then we were able to get
some good scoring opportunities that resulted
in points as well. It was a big turning point for
us.
From there, the Lancers never got any
closer than nine points the rest of the way as
Wayne Trace went on to post its fifth consec-
utive victory of the season in moving to 5-2.
I thought we got solid play from a lot of
girls tonight, noted the Raider mentor. It was
a total team win and that is the way we have
to play.
Brenda Feasby added nine points and eight
assists for the Raiders while Temple chipped
in seven markers and dished out a pair of as-
sists. Madi Poling also had four steals for
Wayne Trace.
Overall, I am pretty pleased with our ef-
fort, Williamson concluded. The girls give
their all and we are playing hard. I am happy
with our progress at this point.
Hannah McCleery bucketed 13 points to
lead the Lancers while Thatcher and Stemen
bucketed a dozen markers each. Ashton Bow-
ersock also had eight for the blue and gold.
Stemen picked up eight boards with Thatcher
and McCleery each getting three steals. Mc-
Cleery and Stemen had three assists apiece.
Lincolnview finished with fewer turnovers,
16-17, but the Lancers were only 19 of 52
from the field (37 percent) compared to
Wayne Traces 25 of 53 (47 percent). The
Lancers dropped to 3-4 on the year with the
loss.
Wayne Traces junior varsity posted a 21-8
victory in two quarters of action. The game
was two periods short due to a lack of num-
bers for the Lancers.
Katie McClure, Katlyn Wendel, Kerstin
Roberts and Grace Gorman all had two points
for Lincolnview.
Leah Sinn bucketed five markers for the
Raiders while Brianna Sinn and Danae Myers
added four each. Stacy Flint, Maddie Zartman,
Courtney Mead and Estie Sinn had two mark-
ers apiece.
Wayne Trace will return to action on Jan. 3
as the Raiders visit Fairview in the Green
Meadows Conference opener for both schools.
TIME CHANGE The girls basketball
game on Jan. 3 between Wayne Trace and
Fairview will start at 5 p.m., not 6 p.m. as
originally scheduled. The game will still be
played at Fairview.

Archers go 0-2 for the week;
Route 49 tips off on Friday
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
The Antwerp Archers had a
rare Tuesday-Thursday sched-
ule last week and came away
on the short end both nights.
On Tuesday, playing before
a home crowd, the Archers lost
to Liberty Center, and then
went on the road and fell to
Pettisville, 65-57, two nights
later.
The Archers stand at 2-3 en-
tering the Route 49 Classic on
Friday against Edon in the sec-
ond game.
At Pettisville, the Archers
and Blackbirds played to a 14-
14 draw after their initial eight
minutes of play. The second
period had the home team take
a slim three-point margin to the
dressing room, 29-26.
A poor-shooting third period
and a lack of defensive play on
the inside turned costly for the
blue and white. Pettisville to-
taled 17 points while holding
the Archers to just eight while
building a 15-point lead head-
ing into the final quarter.
Quite frankly, we just didnt
play very well, said Antwerp
head coach TJ Hammer. We
didnt go to the glass. We sim-
ply didnt rebound and when
you dont rebound, you dont
win.
The Archers managed just
12 of 21 from the foul line for
57 percent and from the field
19 of 41 for 46 percent.
The Archers had two players
in double figures including
Sam Williamson with 12 points
and Kaden Brumett adding 10.
For the Blackbirds, who starts
only one player over 6 feet tall,
Eli King led with 13 and team-
mates Jeremy Mann with 12
and Korben Rychener adding
10.
We (Antwerp) struggled all
evening. We had 21 turnovers
and I go back to a lack of re-
bounding on our part. Its sim-
ple to understand. In the three
games we have lost we were
out rebounded and in the two
games we won we also won
the rebound battle. Its funny
how it works that way, said
Hammer.
Also scoring for the
Archers were Trenton Copsey
and Erik Miesle each with
eight points, Derek Smalley
chipping in six as did Garrett
Jones, four points from Tyler
Messman and three points
from Joe Buerkle.
Antwerp and Liberty Cen-
ter went head-to-head on the
hardwood last Tuesday with
each team using aggressive
defense from the start. The
Archers went to the dressing
room at intermission holding
a 28-27 lead, but the second
half was a different story. The
Tigers tallied 44 points in the
second half while holding
Coach TJ Hammers crew to
19 and coasted to a 71-47
win.
In the opening frame, the
Tigers jumped out to a 10-6
lead, but a Garrett Jones lay-up
followed by a Kaden Brumett
3-pointer lifted the Archers to
a one-point lead, 11-10, with
3:36 remaining. Both teams
traded baskets with Sam
Williamson drilling a triple
to even the score at 16 apiece
after eight minutes of play.
Neither team could take
control in the second period.
Liberty Center led by as
many as three, but Antwerps
Sam Williamson connected
from behind the arc to knot
the score at 25 each. A Kam
Pohlman bucket put the
Tigers back in front, 27-25,
with the Archers answering
on a free throw from senior
Joe Buerkle and a two-point
goal from Williamson to
close out the first half.
Antwerp came out in the
third quarter with another
Williamson goal for an Archer
three-point margin, but Kon-
nor Pohlman connected on a
short runner in the paint to
pull Liberty Center to within
one. Derek Smalley con-
nected on his first field goal
of the evening to give the
Archers their last lead of the
evening at 32-29.
A 13-0 run by the Tigers
was enough to put them in
front to stay while holding a
48-37 advantage after three
quarters of play.
The Archers were
outscored in the final eight
minutes, 23-10.
Sam Williamson and
Logan Meyer each lead their
teams in scoring with 16
points apiece. Also in double
digits was 6-foot-7 Kody
Chestnut coming off the
bench and collecting 14
points for the winners. The
Pohlman triplets combined
for 28 with Konnor leading
the family effort with 12.
The Archers will partici-
pate in the Route 49 Classic
on Dec. 27-28. In the Friday
night match to be held at
Edon, the Archers will play
the host Bombers in the second
game, with Hicksville and
Edgerton tipping off in game
one.

Jemison nets 26 in Route 49 win
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
HICKSVILLE The
Antwerp Lady Archers and the
Edon Bombers tipped off the
Route 49 Classic on Friday
night at Hickville with the
Bombers prevailing 35-22 in
game one.
The opening period was the
most competitive with sharp-
shooter Alex Kiess drilling a
couple of 3-pointers for the
Bombers while Antwerps
Kaiya Jemison collected three
field goals at close range along
with a free throw for seven
points.
Antwerp led 5-2 in the early
going, but Edon answered to
take a four-point advantage be-
fore both teams settled in at 13-
11 in favor of the Bombers at
the end of one.
After scoring 11 points in the
first period, the blue and white
managed just 11 points the rest
of the contest. Avery Braaten
tallied the only Archer points in
the second quarter to pull her
team to within three at 16-13,
but a 10-0 run widened the
Edon lead to 26-13 midway
through the third quarter.
Antwerp did not score again
until Braaten canned a short
jumper with 2:51 remaining in
the third quarter.
Edon held a 26-17 lead going
into the fourth period. The
Archers managed to get within
eight at 28-20 following a Jemi-
son field goal and free throw,
but the Archers would get no
closer.
Jemison, the lone senior for
head coach Kevin Taylors
team, led the Antwerp with 10
points.
The loss dropped the Lady
Archers to 0-7 on the season.
Joining Jemison in the Archer
scoring column were Cheyenne
Miller-Sweet and Avery
Braaten with four apiece, while
Annie Miesle and Audrie Lon-
gardner each chipped in two.
For the Bombers, Kiess fin-
ished with 13 points on three
goals from behind the arc and a
perfect 4 for 4 from the foul
stripe.
On the second night of the
Route 49 Classic, the Antwerp
Lady Archers finally put it all
together and walked off the
floor with their first win of the
season a 45-40 decision over
the host Aces. The win gave the
Archers third place in the annual
tournament.
The 1-7 Archers rode to vic-
tory on the back of senior Kaiya
Jemison, who poured in 26
points to lead all scorers.
This really feels good. We
have had some tough games
that were close and to finally get
this win will make Christmas
even better, said Jemison.
Only 5-foot-6, the senior bat-
tled the taller front line of
Hicksville, but managed to
draw several fouls, allowing her
to go to the foul line 20 times
and making 14 of her attempts
including her last seven in the
closing minutes.
In the first quarter, Hicksville
held a seven-point margin be-
fore the Archers took the lead on
a basket by Cheyenne Miller-
Sweet with 4:19 remaining in
the second period. Antwerp held
a 20-19 lead at intermission.
The third quarter had the blue
and white increase their lead to
28-23, but the Aces tallied the
final six points of the quarter to
take a 29-28 lead going into the
fourth frame.
Following an Annie Miesle
bucket and a free throw from
Jemison and Avery Braaten, the
Archers were up 34-31 a lead
they would not relinquish. Jemi-
son sealed the deal with a per-
fect 6 of 6 from the charity
stripe in the final 50 seconds.
Following the holidays, the
Lady Archers will host
Hicksville again on Jan. 3.

Wenzlicks double-double lifts
Wayne Trace past Miller City
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
HAVILAND Devin Wen-
zlick scored 10 points and
grabbed 10 rebounds to help
lift Wayne Trace to a 54-47
win over Miller City in non-
league boys basketball action
Saturday evening at the
Palace.
Wenzlicks big effort was a
key for the red, white and
blue, which led at every stop
but could never put the Wild-
cats away until the final
minute.
Devin Wenzlick had a
huge game for us, noted
Raider head coach Jim Lin-
der. He didnt have his best
game last night (Friday
against Parkway) and we
challenged him before the
game tonight. He really
stepped up and made plays
for us tonight.
The Raiders never trailed
in the contest. Wayne Trace
opened the scoring with a
Corbin Linder trey followed
by a Wenzlick basket before
Miller City quickly sliced the
deficit to 5-4 on buckets from
Mick Lammers and Adam
Niese.
Wayne Trace responded
with a 10-1 run to close the
first quarter, getting a pair of
Ethan Linder foul shots for a
15-7 advantage after one
quarter.
We got out to a good start
tonight, Linder continued.
We show signs of being a
good basketball team but we
still have to become much
more consistent.
Following two Niese free
throws that got the Wildcats
within 17-11, the red, white
and blue again responded
with a 13-5 spurt that seemed
to put Wayne Trace in control
30-16 at the intermission.
However, Miller City had
other ideas.
Trailing 35-21 midway
through the third quarter, the
Wildcats closed the stanza
with a 14-8 run that pulled the
blue and gold within 43-35
entering the final stanza.
You have to give Miller
City a lot of credit, com-
mented the Raider mentor.
They came out in the second
half with more fire than we
did and they battled. They are
scrappy, athletic kids and they
made plays there to get them-
selves back in the game.
A Wenzlick bucket pushed
the lead back to 10 at 45-35
before a trey from Adam
Drummelsmith and a Niese
bucket got Miller City within
47-40.
T.J. Blackmore added a
basket for Wayne Trace but
the Wildcats again answered,
getting a Niese trey and a
two-pointer from Lammers to
trim the Raider lead to 50-45
with 2:59 left.
It would be the last Wildcat
field goal, though. David
Sinn completed the Raider
scoring with a pair of baskets
and the Raiders got a pair of
key defensive stops down the
stretch to post the 54-47 win.
We are a work in
progress, Linder concluded.
We have a lot of work to do
and we will keep getting bet-
ter. One thing we need to a
better job of is making better
decisions.
Ethan Linder led the Raider
attack with 16 points with
older brother Corbin Linder
adding 15. David Sinn and
Blackmore posted six and
five markers, respectively.
Colby Speice grabbed five
rebounds as well for Wayne
Trace while dishing out five
assists. Corbin Linder picked
up five steals for the Raiders,
who move to 2-0 on the sea-
son.
Adam Niese and Adam
Drummelsmith each had 15
points for the Wildcats, who
fall to 4-2 on the season.
Lammers and Jacob Gerten
posted six and five points, re-
spectively.
Niese recorded seven re-
bounds to top the Wildcats
with Drummelsmith record-
ing six. Cory Heuerman also
had three assists and two
steals.
sity also moved to 2-0 on the
season with a 35-25 win over
the Wildcats.
Gabe Wobler posted eight
points with Luke Miller and
Justin Speice adding seven
each. Speice also recorded
seven boards for the Raiders.
Miller, Nick Glass and Cole
Shepherd all posted four
steals.
Travis Niese had ten points
for the Wildcats, who fall to
1-5. Matt Niese chipped in
seven and Jacob Kuhlman
added five markers. Matt
Niese picked up five boards
as well for Miller City.

HOLIDAY HEROES Recently, Oakwood Elementary fifth and sixth graders participated in Holiday Mail for Heroes by creating
cards to send to troops during the holiday season. Above are the students and their cards.
Anns Bright Beginnings Preschool recently held their Christmas program at The Gardens of
Paulding. After singing, Karl Werling recited Twas the Night Before Christmas for all of the
children. Shown here singing Jingle Bells are, from left Estie Pease, Kalli Gorrell, Quinlyn
Gonzales and Raymond Hagerman.
For the holiday season, third graders of Wayne Trace Grover Hill created beautiful wintery land-
scapes in their art class. Not only did the students create stunning pieces of art, but also learned
about art techniques along the way. Students were introduced to what perspective is in art. They
did an excellent job of giving perspective to their trees, making trees in the front appear larger,
while trees back towards the horizon line are smaller in size. Students whose artwork is displayed
include Rylee Miller, Josh Shelton, Braydon Sherry, Hannah Maenle, Sydnee Sinn, Elise Miller
and Alyssa Greathouse.
Students in kindergarten through grade four presented Christmas at Payne Elementary to their families and the community
on Dec. 13. The sixth grade band provided transitional music between scenes by playing Christmas carols.
Divine Mercy students were working hard making cookies in a jar
for Christmas gifts for their parents. Students filled the jars with in-
gredients, designed labels and typed up directions for baking.
