down for fatal

traffic accident
By DENISE GEBERS
Progress Staff Writer
PAULDING A Paulding man was sentenced for
vehicular manslaughter last
week for the death of a Grover Hill woman last September.
Lewis Belcher, 74, who
had entered a no contest plea
to vehicular manslaughter
(M2) in August, was given
a multi-faceted order by the
Court on Sept. 17 following
emotional statements to the
Court by family members of
the deceased.
He was ordered to pay
$12,349.81 restitution to the
family of Shirley Hunsaker
who passed away last September of injuries she sustained in an Aug. 24, 2014
crash at the intersection of
Roads 232 and 143 in Emerald Township.
His drivers license was
suspended for two years and
he will need to pay a reinstatement fee to get it back at
the end of the suspension.
Additionally, he was
placed on a two-year probation, being required to attend
monthly meetings with his
probation officer during the
period.
Fine and costs totaled
$933.47. He is to pay $100
each month and must pay
the total before his probation
will be released. The entire
amount must be paid by
June 24 or the matter will be
turned over for collection.
Belcher was also ordered

to complete 80 hours of
community service.
A 90-day jail sentence
was suspended as long as he
complies with the balance of
his sentence.
A charge of negligent vehicular homicide (M1) had
been filed by the Ohio State
Highway Patrol in Dec. 10,
but the State of Ohio filed
an amended complaint on
Aug. 5 including the second
charge.
The original charge was
dismissed.
A Progress article about
the crash said Belcher ran a
stop sign while westbound
on Road 232, his minivan
striking a minivan driven
by Hunsaker on Road 143.
Her husband, Dewayne, was
a front seat passenger. All
three were transported from
the scene.
Belcher was treated at
Paulding County Hospital
and released. The Hunsakers
were transported to Defiance
Regional Medical Center before being transferred to Fort
Wayne for treatment.
Mrs. Hunsaker passed
away on Sept. 14 at Van
Wert Inpatient Hospice.
Alcohol was not a factor in
the collision, and blood tests
on Belcher revealed he may
have had a heart attack.
A civil lawsuit against
Belcher by the Hunsakers is
pending in Paulding County
Common Pleas Court.

Vandals damaged a skateboard ramp at Pauldings skateboard park early Sept. 14 after lighting
a mattress on fire. The incident is under investigation.
Fire damages skatepark
By MELINDA KRICK
Progress Editor
PAULDING Paulding Police Department
is investigating a fire that damaged a portion of
the villages skatepark early last Monday.
The department received a call about a fire
at the park at 5:07 a.m. Monday, Sept. 14. On
arrival, a police officer found a mattress on fire
atop one of the skate ramps. No one was observed in the park, which is closed from dusk to
dawn.
The Mary Sal Hench Skateboard Park is
located off Emerald Road next to LaFountain
Park. It opened Oct. 30, 2005 and was named
for its major benefactor, who grew up in Paulding.
The Paulding Fire Department arrived on
scene and extinguished the flames.
No injuries were reported.
The damaged ramp originally cost $4,500

when installed, but replacement cost will be
higher, according to police.
On Tuesday, a gate lock was found broken
and a gate was bent.
Village resident Carol Cowell, who helped
spearhead the skateboard parks construction,
spoke to police and was given permission to
clean up debris from the fire and reopen the park.
We worked hard over the weekend and now the
park is open, Cowell reported Monday.
An insurance claim has been filed for the
damage, she added.
Cowell, who is a member of the villages
recreation committee, said officials are looking
into placing a security light as a vandalism deterrent.
If anyone has information about the incident,
contact the police department at 419-399-3311.

Active meeting for Antwerp Council

By JOE SHOUSE
ANTWERP Antwerp Village
Council on Monday accepted a bid
for its old fire truck, heard the lowto moderate-income confidential
surveys continue to be received and
new Christmas decorations will be installed this holiday season downtown.
After receiving three bids for the
purchase of the old fire truck, council unanimously passed a motion
to accept the bid by Baker Farms of
$2,025.
There were no bids received on the
two properties located at 118 and 120
Oswalt Street. The consensus was to
seek bids in the spring of 2016.
New Christmas decorations have
been purchased and will be installed
in Nov. on 20 poles throughout the
village. The mounted LED lighted
decorations were purchased by the
generous donations from the Antwerp Chamber of Commerce, VFW
and Antwerp Community Development Committee (ACDC). During the
meeting, the ACDC presented council with a donation in the amount of
$2,500. The VFW gave $1,911 and
$1,000 from the chamber.
ACDC members approached coun-
cil seeking information on how to

request additional electrical outlets
during the annual ribfest to accommodate the vendors. Council assured
ACDC they would pursue their request to be better equipped for next
years event.
Village administrator Sara Keeran
reported:
Waterline replacement project on
West Woodcox is to start this week.
The project is to be completed by the
end of the year. Traffic will be open to
local traffic only.
The new standards for building/
rental properties are still being considered. The standards used by the
Village of Montpelier have been forwarded to the Maumee Valley Planning Organization for their housing inspectors to review. Based on their suggestions, a public service committee
meeting will be called to review their
suggestions for establishing a rental
inspection program for Antwerp.
The second of three rounds of
mailing the confidential income survey was completed and as of Sept. 14,
178 surveys have been returned. A
total of 300 returned surveys are required for a qualified survey. Of the
178 returned, 79 were non-LMI and
99 were LMI (low to moderate income) which is 55 percent LMI. The

threshold to meet is 51 percent which
the village is surpassing at this time.
A third mailing is scheduled to go out
later this week. After the final mailing if additional surveys are needed,
a door to door canvassing will be undertaken. Residents with questions or
needing a survey should contact the
village administrator.
Currently a $100 water/sewer/
trash deposit is required by renters
when moving in to a dwelling. The
$100 deposit is not enough to cover
a normal quarterly water bill let alone
additional trash pick up. Currently
the average quarterly bill without any
water usage is a minimum of $90.74.
Therefore, Keeran suggested the deposit amount be increased from $100
to $150. An amendment to the ordinance allowing the increase will need
to be brought before council at a later
date in order to permit the increase.
By a recent Ohio Supreme Court
decision, it was determined that metal
storage bins (grain bins) are now considered personal property. Due to the
new decision, the Village of Antwerp
was informed by the Paulding County
Economic Development office that all
metal corrugated modular units which

can be disassembled and reassembled,
moved or sold are not personal property and will not carry a value as real
property. This will be adjusted for tax
year 2015 payable in 2016.
The village currently has two community reinvestment area agreements
with Mercer Landmark for grain
storage bins. One was established in
August 2006 with an expiration date
of July 15, 2015. The second bin was
established in June 2007 with an expiration date set for June 10, 2016.
Mercer Landmark has been paying
to the village approximately $4,571
each year because the bins have been
classified as real property. Now, with
the court decision, abatement will not
generate any more re-directed taxes to
the village after the payment this year.
The new facility that will house the
office for Dr. Sarah Mowery continues to take the necessary steps for construction. The architect has submitted
a zoning application and the building
permit was also included in the application. The new projected cost is estimated at $600,000.
Trick-or-Treat is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 31 from 5-6:30 p.m.
The mayor will have Thursday
night with the mayor from 6:30-7:30

p.m. Mayor Tom Vanvlerah will be
in office to meet with village residents
who may have a question or concern
they would like to share with the
mayor.
Council heard the first reading of
Ordinance 2015-28 establishing a
policy on the reimbursement to the
village for emergency medical technician training costs. The purpose of the
ordinance is that training is very expensive and in order to advance funds
for the training, which at times can
cost in excess of $5,000, the recipient
will be required to complete the training and stay with the program a minimum of one year. If the trainee fails to
complete the agreement, they will be
required to pay back to the village the
amount invested in their training.
Police Chief George Clemens reported that 214 calls for service were
received in August with 34 offenses
written into mayors court.
The council gave permission to
Fire Chief Ray Friend to install a new
300-gallon diesel fuel tank to be located between the fire house and the
EMS building. There will be no cost
to the village for the new tank or its
installation.
Paulding Council hears drainage

complaints from two residents
By SAMANTHA HABERN
Correspondent
PAULDING Two citizens came to the
Paulding Village Council on Monday, Sept. 21
to discuss drainage issues in their areas.
The first was Karen Sunday, who was returning to make sure the drainage issues at Emerald
Acres she had brought to the attention of the
council last week was still being worked on.
She stated she knew that the problem wasnt
going to be fixed overnight, but didnt want the
issue to be put on the back burner. She said she
was happy as long as progress was being made.
The council stated that the issue is being
looked into. This past weekend, during the rainfall, tests were run to figure out where all the
water was going from one water basin. To the
councils surprise, it was going, for some reason,
to a sanitary sewer.
It was stated that the council is learning more
about the area and that hopefully a short-term
fix will be found for the time being while a longterm solution is being looked at.
The second citizen was Sarah Knapp. After
living at her home for nine years, she was forced
to leave on June 27 due to flooding, costing her
about $15,000-$20,000 in damages.

The flooding was speculated to be the result of
the drain in a nearby alley not working properly.
Knapp stated that this had never happened before.
Council was stumped as to what caused the
problem in the first place, and admitted that they
do not know a lot about the area. The council
plans to meet with Knapp this week to piece together what the issue is and hopefully resolve it.
A utility meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m.
Monday, Sept. 28 to discuss the drainage issues.
Council heard the second reading of Resolution 1309-15 accepting the amounts and rates as
determined by the budget commission and authorizing the necessary tax levies and certifying
them to the county auditor.
Councilman Tim Boss was appointed to the
Planning Commission board.
A pre-construction meeting will be held at 9
a.m. Friday, Sept. 25 to discuss the Gasser Road
and Walnut Street project.
There was an executive session held for legal
matters.
The next council meeting will be at 6:30 p.m.
Oct. 5.
BIKE RODEO Cub Scout Pack 317, Paulding, recently held a Bike Safety Rodeo. The children
learned about bike safety rules, skills and hazards. They had a campfire with snacks, and got to
run some cars down the Pinewood Derby track. It was a very fun day. Anyone interested in joining
the pack can find them on BeAScout.org.

BANK RAISES $3,500 FOR SMITH FAMILY First Federal Bank, with one of its branches in Paulding, has raised $3,500 in honor of Randall D. Smith. Funds collected included a successful cookout
held on Aug. 14. The Paulding branch held a freewill donation cookout and raised $2,226.90, the rest
of the funds were provided by the bank and employees. We were overwhelmed with the incredible
response from the community, said Elizabeth Vance, community banking center manager at First
Federal Bank in Paulding. Last Friday Vance and and Jim Williams, market area president, presented
Tracy Smith (center), father of Petty Officer Second Class Randall Smith, with a check during a brief
ceremony at the bank. Smith selflessly sacrificed his life on July 18 in Chattanooga, Tenn. protecting
his fellow servicemen during the tragic events of July 16. In addition, a fund has been created at the
branch to benefit the Smith family for community members to contribute.

Sign intended
to reduce risk
at intersection
Dear Editor,
To the People of Payne and
Paulding County:
Years ago, we fell in love
with the people and community in Payne. We came from
Fort Wayne.
Atone time, onNancys
way to Bowling Green,she
received a speeding ticket
from a small-town police officer who offered to take cash
for immediately settlingthe
offense.
Wenever forgot howwe
felt about that town. We in
Payne do not want to be remembered as the Stop SignTrap Townbecause of a stop
sign where the bagged and
non-functioning traffic signals
still hang unused formany
months.
Since our traffic light was
struck by lightningat that
time,we have heard endless
screaming brakes as trucks

roared into our village and,
passingour house,soon are
taken by surprise only at the
last moment being able to
seethe four-way stop intersection that earlier had traffic
signals. At night they have no
warning as nothing is lit up in
time for them to react.
We suggested a red blinking
light that warns that there is a
stop sign ahead,like at Antwerp School. Even this simple,
inexpensive effortwas ignored
by the State, evidently.
This intersectionat State
Roads 49 and and 613 is a direct route for local school children to cross to attend Payne
Elementary school two blocks
away as well as to the nearby
Catholic School.
We were told that 50 years
ago,the village of Payneinsisted on this intersection having atraffic light because of so
many accidents had occurred
in previous years at this intersection.
Withinthe last several
months,local authorities
requested the state decision-makers return and reconsider their decision.
They talked for an hour-anda-half and were told by the
State that their decision was
absolutely final. They were
adamant about not repairing
or replacing the traffic signals,
saying that the situation did
not warrant it.
This past week, Sept. 16,
we, John andNancy Morse,
grabbed a sledgehammer,
a shovel, a ladder and our
gumption, andput up on our
property across the street
from our residence,a yellow
diamond-shaped sign that we
ordered at our own expense
of $150.The sign says STOP
AHEAD.
Since then, we have heard
absolutely no truck brakes.
While yesterday wesaw a
trucker slow and drive right
through the intersection, the

majority of people greatly care
to respect our villages laws.
The sign is nowwhere
truckers will immediately see
it. This sign could save an accident, or a life.
If necessary, we can move
the sign back away from the
street if told we must do this.
If you could save a life for
$150 wouldnt you do so?
We hope that the public
will now be knowledgeable
of these circumstances, as a
neighbor warned us that there
would be repercussions.
The fact that the squealing
of brakes has ceased since
erecting this sign, especially late at night, shows that
drivers want to obey the laws
when fairly warned of a stop
sign. They do not want to risk
a ticket that will raise their
insurance and affect their
safe-driving records.
We want these people to
obey our laws, but also to respect our community, not feel
taken advantage of.
Paulding County has a lot of
caring people. Now is a good
time to reflect your thoughts
on this. Talk it over with your
neighbor.

Claudia J. Fickel
Paulding County Auditor
Dear Editor,
We, the Payne Elementary
PTO, have taken it upon ourselves to find a way to help
our school by updating our
playground. Many of our pieces range from 15 to 30 years
old. We have recently had to
removes several pieces due to
safety hazards. Currently, we are
applying for the Kaboom! Lets
Play Community Build Grant
that would give us $15,000 of
new playground equipment,
after we purchase $9,000 with
our own money. While we have
worked hard these past three
years to raise that $9,000 needed
for the grant it limits most of our
funds for playground equipment
only and leaves us with little
money to put towards surfacing,
supplies and materials.
Playground surfacing ranges anywhere from $3 per sq.
ft. for mulch, which requires
bi-annual refilling (additional
costs) and does not cover the
fall heights required under ADA
regulations; to $16 per sq. ft. for
pour in rubber and meets both
ADA and ASTM requirements.
Ideally, we would prefer to put
in artificial turf, a cost of about
$8-$12 per sq. ft. It has nearly
no maintenance, is durable and
cheaper than pour in rubber.
Artificial turf also has a 15+

year life span and is up to code
on both ADA and ASTM regulations and handicap accessible.
We are looking to cover an
area of about 10,000 sq. ft.
which would cost us anywhere
from $80,000-$120,000. We
want to assure you we have taken every measure to cut down
on the surface area of the playground and are even planning
on moving existing pieces closer together to reduce the amount
of surfacing needed.
The time line that we are hoping to build the new playground
would be early June 2016.
Thankfully, we would not need
your donation until April 2016.
As part of the grant that we are
applying for, one of the specifications that the grantors would
like met is to see that we have
donations lined up for playground surfacing. The Kaboom!
Lets Play Community Build
Grant really likes to see community support, either through
a donation of time, service,
goods, or money, and because
of the strict timeline the grantors
require us to follow, that leaves
us limit time to fundraise for
the surfacing and little time for
the school to work such a large
amount into the budget.
How you can help us reach
this goal is through a generous
donation or contribution toward
the project in the form of goods
or services. We realized that this
is a huge undertaking to ask of

your business and we will gladly accept any donation that you
are able to provide us with.
If this is a project you feel
you can support, then we ask
that you please sign a donation
form listing the amount you
are willing to donate, so that
we may include that with our
grant budget. We (your name)
hereby pledge to donate (dollar
amount) to the Payne Elementary School, of Payne, Ohio, for
use of new playground surfacing, with your name and title
and the date. Please fax the donation pledge to Payne Elementary at 419-263-1313 by Oct.
1. We apologize for the short
notice, but we are under a strict
time constraint for our pending
grant. Please note that we do not
need the donation right away,
only the pledge to donate, which
allows you more time. Also, any
donation made directly to Payne
Elementary is tax deductible.
In the event that we were to
be denied for the grant, or if we
decide not to move further with
this project, we will notify you
as soon as possible.
Thank you so much for your
consideration in our project. If
you would like more information on this project or if you
have any questions or concerns
please feel free to contact me at
419-206-3130.

Hitchin a ride
Years ago, I remember my
grandma and grandpa stopping to pick up hitchhikers.
Rambling along in an old 1953
Ford, we would see a person
who was going somewhere
with their thumb out and knew
they needed a ride. Yes, we
usually picked them up.
Hitchhiking back in the 50s
was a popular mode of travel
and so was just walking to get
to a destination.To think back,
it seemed to be a lot safer to
walk or hitch a ride back then,
so it was not uncommon to see
a man or a woman with their
thumb sticking out, meaning
they wanted a ride.Many guys
and gals who were in the military used to hitch a ride to
get home for a weekend.
When I was younger, I remember a big tall man who
used to walk from a Van Wert
County village to Van Wert
almost daily. He had big long
legs which were covered with
a pair of rubber knee high
boots. Taking long strides, he
would brag and say that he
could walk faster than a car
and really didnt want a ride.
I have never hitchhiked,
but have heard stories about
those who did. There are a lot
of great experiences people
had while hitching, but there
are also stories of robbery
and murder. I did find out that
most states do have a law that
says it is illegal to stand on a
roadway and solicit a ride.
These days, you dont see
too many hitchhikers, because
of safety issues and in todays
world most people have cars.
Personally, I have never
seen a lady hitchhiker, although one tells the following
story about her experience
while attempting to get a ride.
The girl was a mere 17
years old, so she did not have
a drivers license. Usually she
walked most places, but, occasionally got rides with friends
and sometimes she did hitchhike. The night in question
was one of those seldom occasions when the girl decided
to hitchhike home. She had
worked a late shift and was
just too tired to walk.
The gals rule of thumb (no
pun intended): she just would
A Penny for
Your Thoughts
By
Nancy Whitaker
not accept a ride from a lone
man. It was safer to accept
rides from women or (rarely)
men with a wife/girlfriend
and/or kids in the car. That
night, though, cars were few
and far between and it was
cold. A lone man pulled over
and she took a good look at
him and figured she could
whip him if he tried anything.
The girl got into the car and
warmed her fingers and hands
in front of the heating vent.
After some small talk, the
driver drove slower as it was
snowing outside.About 10
minutes later, she noticed a car
near the intersection that they
were approaching. They went
into a slide and the girl said,
Watch out!
The strange man immediately hit the gas, shooting
through the intersection and
yelled at her, Dont you ever
scream at me! Needless to
say, she was taken aback and
also scared. She then said
to him, Look, this is close
enough, just pull over here
and I can get out and walk the
rest of the way.
He didnt seem to hear her
and so she repeated, Pull
over here and let me out, but
noresponse. He just stared
straight ahead, driving faster
now than he had been since it
began to snow.
The teenage girl sat there,
scared half to death when the
man began mumbling to himself.He began to speak, quietly and rapidly, saying things
like, Youre always yelling
at me. Ive told you time and
again that I do not appreciate
being yelled at, but do you lis-
ten? Nooooo. Well Im done

listening to you now, do you
hear me?
The 17-year-old thought
about jumping out of the car
onto the roadway, but noticed
the locks on the doors had
been removed. By now, she
thought she may be in some
serious trouble with this lone
man she had accepted a ride
with.
The man finally looked at her
directly and putting his eyes
down said that he did not mean
to frighten her. He then pulled
over at a gas station and the girl
jumped out as if demons were
chasing her. But, that was not
the end of the story.
When she escaped from the
car, the man sat there and the
girl wondered what to do next.
The man called her back over
to the car.He said, Come
here, you forgot your hat.
Should she go back over and
get her hat and risk a chance
that she may be abducted?
He held her hat outside of the
open window and she hurriedly grabbed it.
She waited until he pulled
away, as she did not want him
to see which direction she
was walking. After a time,
she went to put on her hat and
noticed something inside of
it. There was a hundred dollar
bill with a little note attached.
It said, Dont ever hitchhike
again and never get into a car
with a lone man.
Now, if I would pick up a
hitchhiker, I sure would not
scare him, but my driving may.
They would probably not even
want to accept a ride with me.
It may be safer walking.
No, I do not want to hitchhike. I do not know even how
to stick up my thumb or which
side of the road to stand on.
To those who have hitchhiked, I hope you had good
experiences.
Do you think hitchhiking is
safe to do anymore? Have you
ever picked up a hitchhiker
or were scared if you did accept a ride?Let me know and
Ill give you a Penny for your
Thoughts. In the meantime, if
I see you hitchhiking, just beware. You may be safer walking. Happy hitching.

gold and yellow will shine bright in the trees.
Those beautiful leaves will start falling and many
homeowners will have to deal with the cleanup
of the leaves, but why not put those fallen leaves
to work for you and your property? The fallen
leaves can provide many benefits to the environment, wildlife and your garden. A leaf layer will
create its own mini ecosystem.
Many wildlife species live in or rely on the
leaf layer to find food and habitat, including salamanders, chipmunks, box turtles, toads, shrews,
earthworms, and many insect species. Many butterfly and moth species live overwinter as pupae
in leaf litter. If you rake up and throw away all of
your leaves this fall, youll be getting rid of those
beneficial and beautiful insects, too.
Butterflies and moth caterpillars are a critically important food source for birds in the
spring when they are feeding their babies. If you

remove all the pupae with your leaves in the fall,
there will be fewer of those insects in and around
your yard this spring.
If you choose to rake up your leaves this fall,
reuse them as a natural mulch for your garden
over winter. The leaves form a natural mulch that
helps suppress weeds and at the same time fertilize the soil as they break down. The leaves can
be shredded using a mower or weed eater. This
helps to cover more surface area of your garden
if the leaves are mulched into smaller pieces.
Leaves are packed with trace minerals that
trees draw up from deep in the soil. When added
to your garden, leaves feed earthworms and beneficial microbes. They lighten heavy soils and
help sandy soils retain moisture. They are also
a fabulous source of carbon to balance the nitrogen in your compost pile. And they insulate
tender plants from cold temperatures. Rather let
the leaves lie for wildlife over winter or use them
to help with your garden for next spring. Dont
let the benefits of leaves go unused.
EMS PICNIC Life Flight and Mercy Defiance Hospital honored local EMS squads and their families at an
annual picnic. Picnic guests enjoyed getting a close look at a Life Flight helicopter. With Life Flight pilot Lee
Brothers are Michelle Healy and her daughters, Allie (left) and Caia. Mercy and Life Flight hold this annual event
to recognize the life-saving work done by local emergency medical services personnel. Hospital and Life Flight
staff members serve the picnic meal in a tent on the hospital grounds as a way of expressing their thanks.

Your Insurance Gap
By Phil Recker
Edward Jones Advisor
If you work for a fairly sizable company, you may be entering your open enrollment
season, when you can add or
adjust your employer-sponsored benefits. While you
probably should review all
your benefits, you may want
to pay special attention to
your life insurance to determine if you and your family
are adequately protected.
How much life insurance do
you need? You may hear that
you require anywhere from
seven to 10 times your annual
income in life insurance coverage, but this rule of thumb
might not be appropriate for
everyone; the amount of insurance you need will depend
on your individual situation.
To help determine if a gap
exists between the amount of
insurance you have from your
employer and the amount you
need, your first step is to identify all those expenses that
your family would face alone
Pete the
Cat at
the library
Over 30 children enjoyed
listening to Kirk reading about
antics of storybook character
Pete the Cat (at right), making a magic sunglasses craft,
hunting for missing buttons
and more during a special library program held recently
at the main historic Carnegie
library. How many buttons
would you have guessed to be
in this jar above? Young reader
Lofton Browns guess was exactly correct 534.
if you were gone. Here are

some to consider:
Ongoing income replacement needs and living expenses If you were to pass
away, and your paychecks
were to stop, it would likely
create a gigantic hole in your
familys finances. Adequate
life insurance is necessary to
replace the loss of your future
salary and cover ongoing living expenses.
Mortgage If you werent
around, and your income were
to disappear, would your family still be able to remain in
their home? Factor in your
mortgage in any calculation of
life insurance needs.
Debts Apart from your
mortgage, what other debts do
you have? Car loan? Credit
cards? Perhaps even some old
student loans? Even if you
pass away, these debts wont
all disappear, especially if
some of them are in the names
of you and your spouse. Determine how much you pay each
month on all these debts and
include this figure in your life
insurance estimate.
Education As you know,
higher education comes with
some high expenses: Four
years at an in-state public
school can easily cost upwards
of $80,000, while the price tag
can be twice as much for private schools. And these costs
may continue rising. So, if
youve always planned to send
your children to college, youd
better pencil in some big figures for your life insurance
calculations.
Emergency funds Its a
good idea for most people to

maintain an emergency fund
containing six to 12 months
worth of living expenses, with
the money kept in a liquid account. This fund can help with
unexpected doctors bills,
costly auto repairs and so on.
If you werent there, could
your family afford to contribute to such a fund? Again, its
something to think about when
you estimate your insurance
needs.
Surviving spouses retirement If youre married, your
income may contribute to your
spouses ability to put money
away in a retirement account,
such as an IRA or 401(k). If
youre gone, your surviving spouse might well have
to redirect those funds to the
day-to-day costs of running a
household. Therefore, include
surviving spouses retirement
funds as one more item on
your insurance estimate worksheet.
As you can see, your absence can jeopardize your
familys ability to maintain
both their current lifestyle and
their aspirations for the future.
So, take the time to figure out
just how much of an insurance gap you face, and then
consider options for filling it.
It will be time well spent.

County ODOT employee

wins statewide Roadeo
This bill is freight bill from 1915 from The Cincinnati Northern Railroad Company was for one
box of books from New York City.
Periodically, I will be sharing history of the library in

celebration of 100 Years of
Library Service to Paulding
County. The library was established in 1912 as the first
county library in the United
States funded by Andrew
Carnegie. Land was acquired,
building plans approved and
construction completed by
late 1915. The library opened
in March of 1916.
I am writing a comprehensive timeline-like history of
the library using the minutes
kept by the board of trustees
of the library. It is very interesting to read how the boards
throughout the years made decisions based on the need to
serve the citizens of Paulding
County.
In October 1915, the library
building was complete and was
ready to be stocked. However,
the grounds needed work and
payment was authorized to The
German American Sugar Co.
for 200 yards of dirt for use in
the grading of the lawn.
In 1934, a 50-ton car load
of Kentucky two-inch lump
coal from the Southern Lumber Company was approved
at $6.67 a ton. In those early
days, almost all furnishings
and books were also delivered
by rail into the Paulding Depot.
Bills paid included the
Paulding Light & Water
Works, the Paulding Home
Telephone Company, J.P.
Crain Hardware Company,
Mentzers Store, Hanenkratt
Brothers for furnace work and
Rulman Coal for heating coal.
In the late 1950s, shelving was
installed by Heller Brothers
out of Montpelier, Ohio. We
still utilize this family-owned
company for our shelving
needs. And, we use the services of Hanenkratt Plumbing
Susan Hill Pieper, Library Director
Historical meanderings
through the librarys past
when we need plumbing repairs.

In the early years, the library maintained stations
throughout the county. This
was to fulfill the agreement
with Carnegie that the library
would provide service to all
citizens. These stations were
set up in almost every community in drug stores, grocery
stores and other central locations. Persons managing the
stations would keep records
of who borrowed the books.
They were paid a modest sum
per year for this duty.
In 1925, the stations existed
in Antwerp, run by Hertel
Brothers; in Arthur, run by
James McCague; in Haviland,
run by Kohn & Klinger; and
in Payne, run by Otto G. Henschen.
It is interesting to note that
the great-great-great-niece of
Mr. Henschen is currently our
head of youth services, Sara
Molitor.
The Carnegie building had
to be modified along the way
to be able to handle the new
electrical loads. Lighting and
wiring were updated. The
Farm Bureau in the 1950s
wanted to show public films

at the library and serve coffee,
but the coffee maker exceeded
the electrical capacity of the
library. They offered to help
with the cost of upgrades.
In the 1950s, the librarian
asked the board if she could
start adding records to the
collection and did so with a
$50 start-up cost. Records
must have been the first nonprint format to be introduced
to the library.
The history of your Carnegie library is rich. It is interesting to note that much business
was conducted locally. Local
laborers were hired to do most
all physical jobs at the library.
Construction and maintenance
of the new library was a boon
to the local economy.
The library boards of trustees have worked hard over the

LIMA Leon Goyings, of

the Paulding County Ohio
Department of Transportation
(ODOT) District 1 maintenance garage, was the winner
of the loader competition in
the Directors Cup Truck and
Loader Roadeo on Sept. 16.
Goyings took first place
among 24 contestants who
competed in the loader event.
He earned the right to compete
after winning the districts
contest in May where he bested his coworkers in each of the
eight counties within ODOT
District 1.
The top two finishers in the
district competition in both the
truck and loader competed in
the event.
District 1 encompasses Allen, Defiance, Hancock, Hardin, Paulding, Putnam, Van
Wert and Wyandot counties.
The Roadeo is a friendly
competition which pits equipment operators against one another to test their skill in maneuvering equipment through
a series of obstacles intended
to mimic situations they encounter on the job. Participants are also required to find
deliberately-placed mechanical bugs on equipment as part
of the pre-trip inspection portion of the competition and to
complete a written test.
Goyings has won or placed
at the district level in both the
truck and loader events several times, but has never won at
the statewide level. In his 19
years with ODOT, hes competed in the statewide competition approximately 15 times.
Thats my first, first-place
win. Ive won second place a
couple times, said Goyings,

who said he was very surprised at the win.

I really didnt think Id be
in the top three, he said, after
watching several others drive
the course.
He beat the second-place
finisher by 20 points.
The ability to operate any
type of equipment is apparently key to a statewide win.
Goyings said a Caterpillar

loader, which hed never operated before, was used in the
competition.
That was my first time in
a Cat loader. We use Case and
John Deere, said Goyings.
Finishing third in the loader
event was Tom Mellinger of
the Hancock County ODOT
maintenance garage.

HUNTING
GUIDE
A Special Feature of the Paulding Progress
ODNR hunting predictions for Paulding County

By JUDY WELLS
Progress Correspondent
Now that summer weather is
waning and cooler temperatures
abound, most folks are turning
their attention to autumn activities. Football games, tailgate
parties, campfires to roast hotdogs and marshmallows, long,
leisurely walks in the woods and
doing pre-winter chores around
the house are just a few of these
activities.
But for hunters and trappers
in the area, attention is focused
on opening day of their favorite
wild game season.
Whether its white-tailed
deer hunting, small game or
waterfowl hunting, or trapping
of furbearers, now is the time
to get ready. While there is no
wild turkey season in Paulding
County this fall, there are plenty

of other seasons, dates and factors to be aware of.
John Windau, of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources,
Division of Wildlife, says deer
harvest in any county is dependent on three factors the number of deer in the area; hunter
participation (which is influenced by several factors, including weather); and regulations.
For Paulding County, the
deer population has been lowered to near the target goal, so
regulations were adjusted to reduce the pressure on antlerless
deer this year, namely the antlerless deer permit is not valid
in the county, he says.
The antlerless deer permit
is a reduced cost permit with an
expiration date that is designed
to help lower deer herds and has

been very successful, Windau
continues. Now that the deer
herds in most counties have
been brought down toward the
goal, the permit is not valid in all
but 10 counties this year. This
will take pressure off female
deer and stabilize the population.
He adds that hunters will
likely see similar numbers of
deer as they did last year; however, due to regulation changes,
the overall harvest will likely
be somewhat lower because of
the reduced pressure on does,
dependent, of course, on hunter
participation.
This should be viewed as a
good thing, says Windau. In
this case, reduced harvest numbers are a result of regulation
changes which will stabilize the

deer population. If the harvest
remained the same or increased,
then the deer population would
continue to decrease and fewer
deer would be on the landscape.
Windau does not believe the
Avian Influenza (bird flu) will
affect any game birds this season.
Avian Influenza has not
been detected in Ohio yet, he
says. The precautions that were
issued by the Ohio Department
of Agriculture (ODA) were
for preventative measures. The
ODA has also issued requirements and procedures for movement of gamebirds in Ohio this
fall that must be followed. As
far as wild birds, since it has not
been detected in Ohio, there will
Turkey hunting safety tips

Carefully read the following
tips and be a part of a safe and
enjoyable hunting experience. A
trip with an experienced turkey
hunter can teach you a lot about
both safety and turkey hunting
tactics. And if YOU are an experienced hunter, consider taking
a younger or less experienced
hunter out so they can learn
from you.
Dont Stalk - Do not stalk
a turkey or turkey sounds or try
to drive turkeys to another hunter. The chances of bagging a
turkey by this method are slim,
but the chances of becoming
involved in a shooting are great.
Always call the turkey to you.
Dress For Success Eliminate the colors black, red,
white and blue from your hunting
clothing. These colors are predominant in the male turkeys
plumage and can contribute to

a mistaken-for-game incident.
Wear complete camouflage.
Remain Still - Never move,
wave or make turkey sounds
to alert another hunter of your
presence. Instead, yell or speak
in a loud voice and remain still.
Never assume you are the only
hunter in an area.
Calling - Be careful when
using the gobble call. The sound
and motion may attract other
hunters and lead to a dangerous
situation.
Positioning - Select a
calling position that places your
back against a large tree and
leaves the area in front of you
open. Do not hide so well that
you cannot see turkeys and other
hunters. The tree you sit against
will camouflage your outline and
help protect your back.

Turkey hunting takes a lot of patience, but its great to be out in

the woods early in the morning watching and listening for wildlife. If youre heading out in the woods for turkey hunting, take
care to be safe.
Identify Your Target Never shoot at a sound or movement. Remember you can legally
shoot only a bearded turkey
during the spring season.
Hunter Orange - Wear
hunter orange when walking in
the woods. If you kill a turkey, tag
it immediately and then conceal
it or wrap an orange covering on
the bird before walking out of the
woods.
Know Your Range - Do
not shoot at a turkey out of
your shotguns effective range.
Always shoot at the head and
neck of the bird and remember
that 30 yards or closer is ideal
for a safe, clean kill. Remember to pattern your gun before
the hunt and do not use large
shot. A number 4, 5, 6, or 7-1/2
shot is ideal for turkey hunting in
Ohio.

See the Beard - Never let

excitement, nerves, panic or
peer pressure guide your behavior. Make sure the object you
are shooting is a bearded turkey.
The most critical moment of any
turkey hunt is when you decide
to pull the trigger. See a beard
before you shoot.
Basic Rules Always remember the four basic rules for hunting safety:
1. Treat every firearm as if it is
loaded.
2. Always point the muzzle in a
safe direction.
3. Be sure of your target and
beyond.
4. Keep your finger outside
the trigger guard until ready to
shoot.

Hunter Education - Attend a Division of Wildlife hunter education course. The NWTF and the
Division of Wildlife sponsor turkey hunting seminars each year.
probably be no effect.
And what about the unusually wet weather we had in the
county earlier this year?
Windau doesnt believe
that will be a factor in the fall
and winter hunting seasons.
Weather is always changing
and may appear to us as an unusual spring or summer, he
says. However, in relation to
an evolutionary timescale, recent weather patterns are not
considered extreme. Other than
a few species that inhabit Ohio
on the edge of their range, the
ranges of most species that live
in Ohio extend much farther
north, south, east or west.
Therefore, those species are
adapted to a broader range of
climates than we associate with
Ohio weather, he says. In ad-

Avoid Problems, Be Prepared!

1. Get the landowners permission to hunt.
2. Buy your annual hunting license and deer
permit early.
3. Make sure your gun is plugged and not capa-
ble of holding more than three (3) shells.
4. Make sure you meet hunter orange require-
ments.
5. Know how to attach your temporary tag. Carry
a piece of string, watch, and pencil or pen.
6. Know the rules for use of communication
devices.
7. Know your APV laws.
8. Know the season dates, hours, and Deer
Zones.
9. Follow proper check station procedures.
10. Hunt safely!
11. After hunting, check carefully for small, dark
crawling or attached ticks and remove imme-

Why should we hunt?

From ODNR
Why should we hunt? You
may have many reasons of
your own, but there are three
main reasons that the Ohio
Division of Wildlife thinks
are important:
Reason #1: Ecological
Balance
Ohio hunters play a critical role in the control of deer
and other animal populations,
which are carefully studied by
the Division of Wildlife. The
length of hunting seasons and
other regulations are directly related to the need to thin
or extend species numbers
in the state. Without the help
of Ohio hunters, a few of the
risks include uncontrolled
deer populations devastating
crops and creating hazards
for drivers on roads and highways throughout the state.
Custom Quality
Meats
YOUR MEAT SPECIALIST
Since
dition, some species would benefit from any change and other
species would suffer, depending
on their habitat requirements
and time of the year. There will
probably be nothing significant
enough to notice on a large scale
across the landscape.
Reminding deer hunters, in
particular, to check this years
regulations for changes to bag
limits and seasons, Windau
adds, The antlerless muzzleloader season has been suspended this year, and an additional weekend of gun hunting
was added in December. As
always, hunters are reminded to
refer to the 2015-2016 Hunting
and Trapping Regulations or to
visit wildohio.gov for more information.
Reason #2: Conservation

Hunting in the United
States is highly regulated,
which helps make it a safe,
sustainable, and highly popular activity. The sale of hunting licenses, permits, and
stamps provides much-needed funds to wildlife research
and management programs.
Hunters care about the environment. Without proper
conservation, our wild spaces
could be lost.
Reason #3: The Challenge
On a hunt, your senses are
sharpened. Awareness of your
surroundings is heightened.
This is more than observing
the environment its active
engagement. Hunting challenges the mind and the body,
keeping us mentally and physically healthy. It demands skill,
knowledge, and patience.

Ohios deer archery

season coming soon
COLUMBUS Hunters will
have their first opportunity to
pursue white-tailed deer when
archery season opens on Saturday, Sept. 26, according to the
Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR).
Deer hunters should be aware
of certain changes when purchasing permits before heading
into the field this year.
Ohios 2015-2016 deer seasons include:
Archery: Sept. 26-Feb. 7,
2016
Youth gun: Nov. 21-22
Gun: Nov. 30-Dec. 6 and
Dec. 28-Dec. 29
Muzzleloader: Jan. 9-12,
2016
The ODNR Division of Wildlife remains committed to properly managing Ohios deer populations through a combination
of regulatory and programmatic
changes. The goal of Ohios
Deer Management Program
is to provide a deer population
that maximizes recreational opportunities, while minimizing
conflicts with landowners and
motorists.
Until recently, deer populations in nearly all of Ohios
counties were well above their
target numbers. In the last few
years, through increased harvests, dramatic strides have been
made in many counties to bring
those populations closer toward
their goal. Once a countys deer
population is near goal, harvest
regulations are adjusted to maintain the population.
Since most counties are near
their target levels, antlerless

permit use was changed for the
upcoming deer hunting seasons,
and these permits are no longer valid in most counties (see
Deer Bag Limit map). Antlerless permits will be valid in the
remaining 10 counties until Nov.
29, the Sunday before the deergun season. Only one antlerless
permit may be used per county,
regardless of the bag limit.
The statewide bag limit was
reduced to six deer. Deer bag
limits are determined by county
(see map), and hunters cannot
exceed a county bag limit. No
more than six deer may be taken from all counties when combined.
Additional ODNR Division
of Wildlife authorized controlled
hunting opportunities do not
count against statewide or county bag limits.
Hunters may harvest only
one buck in Ohio, regardless of
method of take or location.
New this year, the .450 Marlin straight-walled cartridge
was added to the list of specific
straight-walled cartridge rifles
legal for use during the deer-gun
and youth deer-gun seasons.
These specific straight-walled
cartridge rifles are legal for deer
hunting: .357 Magnum, .357
Maximum, .38 Special, .375 Super Magnum, .375 Winchester,
.38-55, .41 Long Colt, .41 Magnum, .44 Special, .44 Magnum,
.444 Marlin, .45 ACP, .45 Colt,
.45 Long Colt, .45 Winchester
Magnum, .45 Smith & Wesson,
.450 Marlin, .454 Casull, .460
Smith & Wesson, .45-70, .4590, .45-110, .475 Linebaugh,

.50-70, .50-90, .50-100, .50-110
and .500 Smith and Wesson.
Shotguns and straight-walled
cartridge rifles may have no
more than three shells in the
magazine and chamber combined while deer hunting.
Also new this year, two additional days of deer gun season
will be offered Dec. 28-29 to
provide more gun hunting opportunities.
Additionally, the antlerless-only muzzleloader season
was suspended this year.
Deer hunting hours are 30
minutes before sunrise to 30
minutes past sunset for all deer
seasons. This includes gun and
muzzleloader seasons.
Additional details about deer
hunting rules are contained in
the 2015-2016 Ohio Hunting
Regulations, available where licenses are sold, or at wildohio.
gov.
Hunting is the best and most
effective management tool for
maintaining Ohios healthy deer
population. Ohio ranks fifth
nationally in resident hunters
and 11th in the number of jobs
associated with hunting-related
industries. Hunting has a more
than $853 million economic impact in Ohio through the sale of
equipment, fuel, food, lodging
and more.
Cool things to know about deer

Reminder about
antlerless permits
Archery season opens
Saturday, Sept. 26. Just a reminder to be aware of some
changes before purchasing
permits or heading into the
field this year!
Before purchasing an
antlerless permit this year, be
sure to check if it is valid in
the county you are going to
hunt. Paulding County is not
one of the 10 Ohio counties
included this year.
Until recently, deer populations in most of Ohios
counties were above target
numbers. In the last few
years, through increased har-
vests, strides have been made

to bring those populations
closer to their goal. Once a
countys deer population is
near goal, harvest regulations
are adjusted to maintain the
population.

Since most counties
are near their target levels,
antlerless permit use was
changed for the upcoming
deer hunting seasons, and
these permits are no longer
valid in most counties. Antlerless permits will be valid
in the remaining 10 counties
until Nov. 29, the Sunday before the deer-gun season.
The Ohio Division of Wildlife encourages sportsmen and

women to share the bounty of
their successful deer hunts by
donating deer to charitable organizations that help feed the
hungry of our state. Several
area chapters and programs
will accept donations including:

Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry (FHFH):
Contact FHFH to make a
donation. Go to the national
website, www.fhfh.org/ then
to Ohio to find an active chapter and check out what processors are available for that
chapter. Donating venison is
at no cost to the hunter.

From Iowa DNR

Here are some cool facts
you may not know about whitetailed deer:
You can find white-tailed
deer across the U.S., except for
Nevada, Utah, California, Hawaii and Alaska. However, in
those states you can still find
the whitetails close relatives,
the mule deer and black-tailed
deer.
The antlers of a buck (a
male deer) are the fastest growing tissue known in the world.
Antlers arent just for
bucks about one in 10,000

female deer, or does, can have
antlers. One surprised Iowa
hunter harvested a 12-point
doe, fully capable of bearing
fawns, back in 2008. These
does have higher levels of testosterone, which allows them to
grow antlers.
Deer can have fangs, too.
Another rarity for white-tailed
deer is vestigial canine teeth.
While all deer have canine
teeth (the pointy ones) on their
lower jaws, only about one in
10,000 have upper incisors.
White-tailed deer like

to talk, but they use many different ways to communicate,
including scent, body language
and sounds. Pointing a tail upward signals danger! to other
deer nearby.
Its extremely rare for does
to abandon their young. Each
year, calls come in from around
the state of baby wildlife, especially deer, seen on their own
and thought to be abandoned
by their mothers. Usually, the
mother is nearby, watching you
and her baby carefully.
Family gathering, grape

juice and learning German
Saturday we attended my
family gathering at my sister
Liz and brother-in-law Levis
place in Berne, Ind. All eight
of us siblings were in attendance. Some of the married
nieces and nephews didnt attend, but we still made a nicesized group to enjoy the day.
Like every year, our parents are greatly missed at
these family gatherings. Everyone took some food, but
Levi and Liz furnished the
hot food. The menu included
barbecued chicken and pork
steak, mashed potatoes, gravy,
noodles, dressing, corn, peas,
homemade bread, plus all the
dishes that were brought in.
Nephew Ben (age 32 and
the oldest of my parents
grandchildren) and his family
recently moved back to Berne
after living in Wisconsin since
they were married in 2007.
My parents youngest living
grandchild is Steven, 8, in second grade (Jacob and Emmas
son). The youngest baby present was Lyle, born Aug. 13 to
niece Susan and Joe. He was
born the day before Timothy
and Elizabeths wedding.
The afternoon was spent
playing outdoor games, visiting, and singing. Snacks were
served before everyone left
for home. We arrived home
around 7 p.m.
This week and next week,
the evenings will be short.
The children are leaving every
night to take German classes.
Our church has these classes for the children that attend
public school and dont have
the option of learning to read
German in school. It seems
empty when they are all gone
in the evenings until 8:30 p.m.
Lovina and Kevin seem
to be enjoying learning the
new sounds of the German
alphabet. Every evening they
come home excited about new
words they learned. A special thanks goes to the ones
that donate their time to teach
these classes.
Yesterday our school had to
cancel school due to water issues they were having. I dont
think the children were too
excited that this also happened
to be the day we had to go
pick grapes. It sure did help,
though, to have them along
to help pick them. There is an
Amish family in our community that has a U pick for
grapes. It was a very nice day

Security, safety issues a primary

concern at Antwerp Schools
By JOE SHOUSE
ANTWERP At its Sept. 17 meeting, the
Antwerp Local School board saw firsthand a
new monitoring system that included cameras
throughout the building both inside and outside.
The system will enable school officials to
view an area where trouble of any kind may be
in process and proper measures can be taken.
Both security cameras and lighting along
with computer monitoring will enable school
officials to be better equipped to handle problems both inside and outside of the school
facility. Another upgrade that will soon be installed will include LED lighting in the gymnasium and parking lot.
The financial report was give by the districts treasurer Kristine Stuart. For the month
of August, total receipts were $992,392.02
with expenses coming in at $673,022.11. Interest on investments was $2,213.63.
Stuart informed board members the real
estate settlement had been received as well
as the casino tax. The casino tax is received
twice a year and is approximately $34,000 for
the year.
In other business:
The school and superintendent Marty
Miller will receive special recognition from
Rick Small and radio station 98.1 WDFM for
the volunteer work they do for the success of
the Christmas For Kids program.
Anita Bok will receive special recognition on behalf of the Ohio School Board Association for her 10 years of service.
The income tax renewal, scheduled to be
on the November ballot, was discussed. The
renewal is for five years in the amount of .75

How to plant a tree

Once upon a time, we had a
peach tree. Oh, we have three
peach trees now, but this particular peach tree came before
them. It was our first one ever
and I had visions like sugarplums dancing in my head,
except that they were peaches.
In spite of their fuzzy exterior, peaches are my favorite
fresh fruit to eat unadulterated
by anything except refrigeration. A cold, juicy peach will
just about cure anything, including a stubbed toe. How
can you even think of a sore
toe when youre enjoying a
sweet juicy peach?
I was excited, buying that
first peach tree, and we wasted
no time getting it planted. We
had the perfect location so we
dug the hole and plopped it
in. It got watered well and it
seemed to be doing fine.
We admired its beautiful bounteous blossoms as it
joined the other spring blooming trees and I was sure wed
have bushels of peaches of our
very own. Id have settled for
just a couple, but our tree was
an overachiever.
The spring rains came and
we didnt even have to give
our peach tree supplemental
watering, the showers were
so abundant. The trees leaves
began to turn a bit yellow, but
we attributed it to all the rain
and knew that once that let up,
it would recover nicely.
Little peaches began forming all over the tree, and some
had started dropping off, but
that was okay. No tree of its
size could possibly support all
those peaches anyway. This
was natures way of pruning,
leaving only the best fruit for
us to enjoy later.
Then reality set in. The
yellow leaves fell off and the
rest turned brown and crispy.
Every single little peach
dropped to the ground below
and birds started showing up
to snack on them, even though
they were certainly tart and
hard. My peach dream had become a nightmare.
That peach tree never did
recover and I sought the advice of experts. Where did we
go wrong? It didnt take much
sleuthing to discover, being
the novices we were, that we
didnt plant the tree correctly.
We had unwittingly sabotaged
it right from the get-go.
Like many around here, we
have heavy, sticky clay soil.
Unless you plant all natives,
lots of things are going to have
a tough row to hoe without
some soil amendment. Most
plants need good drainage and
our native soil doesnt want to
give up its moisture very easily. Its why drainage tile companies are a thing around here.
The farmers know.
Wed dug a hole with
straight sides just a little
deeper and wider than our
peach trees container and
planted the tree in it. We watered it in well and called it
In the
Garden
By
Kylee Baumle
good. But what wed done was
essentially planted that tree in
a bucket.
The potting medium the tree
originally came in drained well,
because tree sellers know what
theyre doing. Once the rain
quickly soaked through that and
met up with our heavy clay, it
couldnt escape as fast as it
should have. Our trees roots sat
in water so long that it eventually drowned. Lesson learned.
So how should we plant our
trees?
Dig a hole 3-4 times the size
of the container, with the sides
slightly sloping. Try not to
lose the soil around the roots
of the tree when you remove it
from the container, then place
the tree in the hole. Make
sure its at a depth where the
trunks root flare can still be
seen when youre finished
backfilling with soil. Backfill
with the original soil you dug
out when you prepared the
hole and water well. Some advocate adding compost to the
original soil for backfilling.
If the tree appears to be
root-bound, use a soil knife

and cut an X across the bottom
of the root ball and four vertical cuts evenly spaced on the
sides. This will avoid girdling,
which will eventually lead to
the trees death. The tree will
grow new roots out into the
soil surrounding the root ball
something it couldnt do inside the container.
Lake County Nursery (a
wholesale nursery and home of
the Snow Fountains cherry
tree) in Perry, Ohio, suggests
that those of us with heavy
clay soil place aggregate stone
at the bottom of the hole we
dig for our trees. The heavier
the soil, the deeper the layer of
stone. (See illustration.)
They also promote placing a
layer of mulch several inches
thick that extends beyond the
actual borders of the dug hole.
This helps prevent air from
dehydrating the roots if the
soil dries out during periods
of drought, forming a crack
around the circumference.
But dont pile the mulch up
around the trunk of the tree
volcano-style. Keep it clear for
several inches away.
Keep the tree watered well
an inch per week is recommended especially in its first
year, but dont water so much
that water lays in puddles
around the tree. If youre fall
planting, its essential that the
tree goes into winter well-hydrated.

WT shuts out Apaches 20-0
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
HAVILAND Wayne Trace
used a solid defensive effort
and just enough offense Friday night at Raider Field as
the Raiders blanked Fairview
20-0 in Green Meadows Conference football action.
After giving up 99 points
and 809 rushing yards the last
two games, Wayne Trace limited the visiting Apaches to 86
rushing yards in what Raider
head coach Bill Speller hopes
is a spark to future efforts.
Defensively, I thought we
did a much better job tonight,
noted the Raider mentor. We
made some changes this week
in our defensive scheme and
the guys stepped up and made
plays. There is still room for

improvement but it was nice
to see our defense play as well
as they did.
Wayne Traces offense provided all the points the Raiders would need on its second
possession of the night.
Quarterback Gabe Wobler
found Luke Miller for a nineyard touchdown pass to put
the Raiders on top 6-0 at the
4:08 mark of the opening stanza.
Offensively, we moved
the ball in the first half, said
Speller. We were able to get
first downs and we were productive.
The Raiders widened the
lead to 14-0 on their next possession.
Wayne Trace marched 65
yards on another eight-play

scoring drive, finishing with
a Cole Shepherd four-yard
touchdown run that pushed the
margin to 12-0. Hunter Showalter then ran in the two-point
conversion to make it 14-0
Raiders with 4:32 left in the
first half.
Wobler then again led the
Raider offense to another
score just before halftime. The
senior quarterback hooked up
with Eli Sinn on a 12-yard
scoring strike at the 1:25 mark
to extend the Wayne Trace
lead to 20-0.
Meanwhile, the Raider defense kept the Apaches off the
scoreboard.
Fairview did not have a possession on the evening where
the Apaches put together more
than two first downs on a drive
and had only three runs of
more than ten yards.
Our effort was much better
in the first half, Speller continued. The second half we
were able to make some plays
defensively that kept them
from being able to string together a long drive.
Wayne Traces offense also
struggled in the second half,
recording only 36 yards of offense in the final two quarters
We have to become more
consistent offensively, said
Speller. Running the ball is
an area that we need to continue to improve. We know we
have some areas to get better
and we will continue to work
on them.
Timbrook led the Apache
rushing attack with 72 yards
on 19 carries while Reilly
Heater added 33 yards on six
tries.
Quarterback Wyatt Puffinberger was 10 of 21 through
the air for 127 yards for the
Apaches, who fall to 1-3 overall and 0-1 in the league. TimJim Bowers/Paulding County Progress brook was also the Apaches

topped the Raiders with 41
rushing yards while also completing 19 of 32 passes for 231
yards. Miller picked up eight
receptions for 79 yards and
Shepherd added 60 yards on
three catches. Jon Sinn also
posted three receptions for
24 yards and Eli Sinn picked
up two catches for 24 yards.
Jayden Sherry totaled 42 yards
on two catches as well.
PILOT PREVIEW Green

Meadows conference action
continues this Friday as the
Raiders travel to Ayersville.
The Pilots are currently 4-0
on the season and stand sixth
in the first computer rankings
of 2015. Ayersville is coming
off of a 22-19 win at Sandusky
St. Marys last week and also
have victories over Northwood (0-4), Ottawa Hills (1-3)
and Lima Perry (1-3). Ayersville is averaging 23 points a

night while the Pilots allow 12
a night.
In other league games on
Friday, Hicksville (3-1) visits
Fairview (1-3) while Edgerton
(1-2) hosts Tinora (3-1). Holgate (1-3) will make the trip
to Indiana on Friday in nonleague play to battle Heritage
(2-3).
Pirates sail past Panthers

Edwards scores all Panther points, 44-yard field goal
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
BLUFFTON - After playing three non-conference games to start the season the Paulding Panthers staggered into Northwest Conference play on the road still looking for their
first win. A trip to Bluffton, their second in as
many years, had the outcome many expected but the Panthers played an inspired game.
The maroon-and-white lost 34-10 after trailing at the half 13-3.
Paulding could have put a scar on the Pirates in the early going but a couple of trips
into the red zone came up empty for Coach
Tyler Arends squad. With the Panthers stalling on the one-yard line the Pirates used
a seven play drive covering 99 yards in 48
seconds to score for a 13-0 lead with under a
minute remaining until intermission.
Earlier, in the first quarter, Paulding again
was knocking on the door when they were
at the Pirate 10 yard line with a first-and-10.
The Panthers would get no closer on the drive
before quarterback James Mourey was intercepted on a fourth down play from the 14
yard line.
We have got to finish when we get in the
red zone. We were there twice in the first half
but couldnt punch it in, said head coach Tyler Arend.
With just a few seconds remaining in the
half, scoring wasnt over with Paulding taking the kick-off to the 42 yard line to set up
their first score of the night. The Panthers
managed to move the ball on a Mourey pass
to Branson Minck covering 18 yards. Preston
Ingol followed with an 18-yard scamper to
the 25 yard line.
On the last play of the half, Corbin Edwards drilled a 44-yard field goal to give the
Panthers a momentum builder heading into
intermission trailing 13-3.
The third period started with fireworks
on both sides of the field. Bluffton took the
opening kick and needed just three plays to
score. Sophomore Kaleb Jefferson capped
off the Pirate score with an 11-yard run. The
extra point was good and the home team enjoyed a 20-3 margin.
With the memory of the 44-yard field goal
in Edwards mind prior to the half, the senior
received the Bluffton kick off and worked his
way through the defense for an 80-yard return
for a Paulding score. Edwards completed the
Panther scoring with a successful extra point
to trail 20-10. Edwards would be responsible
for all of the Panthers points in the NWC tilt.
A Panther turnover on their next possession was a costly one. After moving the ball
to near mid field, a bad hand off caused the
pig skin to take several awkward bounces before Brady Basinger scooped up the ball and
galloped 54 yards for a Bluffton score.
Trailing 27-10 the Panthers managed a
minus 13 yards on their next possession and
forcing a fourth down punt. Bluffton used a
nine-play drive that took them into the fourth
quarter to set up their final score. Jefferson
took it in from the 12 yard line with 9:38
remaining for his second touchdown of the
night.
In the second half we had some missed
tackles and too many mistakes. Weve got to
clean that up and we will. This week in practice we will come back to work and get ready
for our next game. These guys wont quit and
they will stay together. I know it sounds like
a broken record but we will continue to work
hard and get ready for the next game, Arend
said.
On their last two possessions of the final
nine minutes of play, the Panthers turned it
over on a fumble followed by an interception.

Antwerp freshman Jake Ryan #82 intercepts a Wayne Trace pass in Junior Varsity football action
last Monday. Ryan and the Archers defeated their county rival 22-8.
JV Archers power
past Raiders 22-8
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
ANTWERP When Antwerp and Wayne Trace meet
up in competition, whether
the court, gridiron or field, it
is always a competitive match
up. It was no different in the
Sept. 14 junior varsity football game at Archer Field.
Antwerp, who is in a period
of transition, is slowly making
their way back to varsity competition next year and with the
opportunity to play each game
this year is another step in the
right direction.
After struggling a week
earlier against Spencerville,
the Archers were much improved in their rivalry game
with the Raiders. The Archers
prevailed 22-8 after holding
the Raiders scoreless until the

4:31 mark of the fourth quarter.
Antwerp opened up with
a nine-play drive covering
90 yards for their first score.
Freshman quarterback Keaton Altimus rifled an 18-yard
strike to Trey Mills for the 6-0
lead at 6:24. The narrow sixpoint margin would hold up
in the first half with no other
scoring in the opening half.
In fact, no scoring would take
place in the third frame and
both teams would enter the
final 10 minutes of play with
the Archers still clinging to a
6-0 advantage.
The blue-and-white lit up
the score board for its second
score with 9:55 remaining.
With the ball resting at the
eight yard line, Mike Taylor

powered his way into the end
zone for a 12-0 lead. Taylor
answered his eight-yard score
with the point-after run for a
14-0 Archer lead.
The Raiders came up short
on their next possession after
Archer defender Caleb Cline
managed to get in the Raider
backfield to force a loss of 16
yards and turning the ball back
over to the Archers.
With the ball near mid-field,
Altimus guided the Archers to
the 10 yard line before Taylor
found the end zone on another
10-yard score with 5:33 remaining. Following the extra
point run by Altimus the Archers were in control 22-0.
