will also generate an additional $900,000
in annual tax revenue to the local taxing
jurisdictions.
Timber Roads I and III were shelved
back in June 2014 when Gov. John Kasich
signed into law Senate Bill 310, putting a
two-year hiatus on renewable energy standards in the state. Both projects had been
approved by the Ohio Power Siting Board,
but EDP was waiting to find a buyer for the
power that could be produced.

suspect remains at large following investigation of a rash of
recent theft offenses around the
county.
According to Sheriff Jason
Landers, a search warrant was
executed at 910 Lewis St. in
Latty on Sunday in regards to
a rash of recent breaking and
entering incidents and theft
offenses. Approximately 30
county residents were victimized since late October during
this crime spree. Unlocked
buildings and cars were the target of these suspects.
Cody Lee Johnson, age 26,
and Ashley M. Thacker, age 24,
were both arrested on related
charges at 910 Lewis St. at the
time of the search warrant.
Johnson faces preliminary
charges of breaking and entering, felonies of the fifth degree,

Amazon, EDP to build wind farm here

Groundbreaking on $200M, 48-turbine project set for next spring
From Staff Reports
PAULDING Amazon Web Services
Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com company,
announced Thursday that it has contracted
with EDP Renewables to construct and operate a 100 megawatt (MW) wind farm in
Paulding County.
Called the Amazon Wind Farm U.S.
Central, this new wind farm is expected to start generating approximately
320,000 megawatt hours (MWh) of wind
energy annually starting in May 2017, or
enough to power more than 29,000 U.S.
homes in a year. The energy generated
will be delivered into the electrical grid
that supplies both current and future
AWS Cloud data centers.

An agreement has been entered into with
Amazon Wind Farm U.S. Central whereby Amazon will purchase electricity from
EDP, according to Erin Bowser, EDP
Great Lakes Region development spokesman. A total of 48 wind turbines, producing 100.8 MW will be constructed on what
is currently referred to as Timber Road I
and Timber Road III in Harrison Township
north of Payne.
Groundbreaking for the 48 turbines is
expected to be in May 2016 with operation
scheduled to take place by the end of the
year, said Bowser.

By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
On Saturday, two Big 10 Conference powerhouse football
teams, each with a rich tradition,
will again do battle on the grid
iron. The Ohio State Buckeyes
will play the Michigan Wolverines, or as many Buckeye faithful refer to the maize and blue as
the team up north.
The most recent credentials
for the scarlet and gray is quite
impressive. National champions
a year ago, undefeated this year
while holding down the number
one position in the polls all season long (all true until they stumbled on Saturday against Michigan State 17-14 ouch). For
Michigan, the winning and the
rankings have slipped a notch
or two in recent years but with a
new coach and a winning season
the Wolverines appear to be back
on track.
But, like most rivalries, the
OSU-Michigan game is always
big. Like they say, forget the records, forget the rankings, this
is Ohio State and Michigan and
anything can happen and often
times does. Its not a national
holiday when the two teams
meet but for many who live in
Big 10 country, especially these
two neighboring states, it might
as well be.
For those who have grown up
in the midst of the Big 10 usually have a favorite team. Often,
their favorite team is in the state
where they were born or currently live and thats where their
allegiance usually lies. Living in
three different states that represent the Big 10 I have seen the
strong support fans have for their
team. In Ohio, with one Big 10
school within its borders, most
fans are OSU fans most, but
not all. In Indiana, its Purdue up
north and Indiana in the southern
portion of the state, and in Michigan there is the in-state rival that
pits Michigan against Michigan
State. The point is its the Big
10 and everyone seems to have a
favorite team.
For Steve Arnold. Wayne
Trace Superintendent, its more
than having a favorite team.
Now, if you can get him to admit it, he will tell you his favorite team. A little hint. He lives in
Ohio and he will be watching the
big game on Saturday. Rather
simple to figure out.
But it goes a little deeper
than that for Arnold. Yes, hes
an OSU fan but he has another
favorite team and this may be a
surprise its Northwestern. But
more about that later.
A few weeks ago I interviewed Arnold in his office
about the upcoming school levy
when I noticed his mini-shrine
dedicated to the Big 10. Being a
sports writer and growing up in
the midst of the Big Ten, I could
not help but ask about his collection. The answer was simple but
with a twist.
I like the Big 10. I am a fan of
the conference, said Arnold.
But the collection of miniature
football helmets, each with a
pencil honoring the school strategically and perfectly displayed
Wayne Trace superintendent Steve Arnold has an extensive Big

10 collection of memorabilia. With the big game scheduled for Saturday pitting the Buckeyes against Michigan, WT intervention specialist Zach Boyer volunteered to be Michigan while Arnold posed as the
Buckeyes as they butt helmets to signify the upcoming battle. Boyer
was quick to clarify that we was only holding the Michigan helmet
because his boss asked him and not because he is a Michigan fan.
next to the helmet intrigued me.
There were pennants of each
school on the wall, shirts, banners, all with a Big 10 flavor. It
was all about the Big 10 without
emphasis on OSU or Northwestern except for a Northwestern
waste basket leaning near the
bookcase that housed the mini
helmets.
I have to admit, when I saw
the display and the fact that OSU
was not dominating the display,
much like they dominate there
opponent on the field, I had a
feeling there was a story to be
shared and one for me to enjoy
hearing. Sure enough, there and
thats where the twist comes
into play.
It all started with someone

making a mistake. And that
someone can not be identified
and remains nameless and yet is
most important in this story.
Its interesting, how it all
started. About 10 years ago, Susie, my wife, ordered our sonin-law Mike Bradbury an OSU
stepping stone for Christmas.
The order was placed and a few
days later the stepping stone arrived all boxed up for gift giving, said Arnold
So far so good. Unfortunately,
when Mike opened the box, the
stepping stone that was placed
inside at a warehouse by the
nameless packager turned out to
be a Penn State stepping stone
and not the anticipated OSU
stone. Certainly not what an
OSU fan would want.
The plan would be to return
the mistaken Penn State stepping stone that was packaged by
an innocent, yet nameless warehouse worker that was filling
an order for what was to be the
most important OSU stone. But
that mistake in packaging turned
out to be the beginning of a colorful collection of Big 10 memorabilia.
Yes, the OSU stone was ordered, received and Mike eventually got his gift. As for the
Penn State stepping stone, well,
thats how the Big 10 shrine got
its start.
That mistaken stepping stone
was never returned and became
my first Big Ten item that would
eventually grow into a display
honoring all the teams in the Big
Ten, said Arnold.
The small display in his office
located in the board of education
wing at Wayne Trace is just a
small prelude of a much larger
display housed in the basement
of Arnolds residence. A display that shows no favorites but
includes all the teams all 14
teams.
My basement is surrounded
by a continuous wooden shelf
See BIG TEN page 9A
I want to thank everyone
for their kindness and
sympathy in the death of
Robert Glancy. God gave
me such inner peace and
with the help of family
and friends my sorrow
was relieved.
I especially thank Den
Herder Funeral Home for
such care and compassion
and Kirchers Flowers
for the beautiful floral
arrangements . Love to all

PEVS recognizes students,

newly elected board members
By SAMANTHA
HABERN
Correspondent
PAULDING The Paulding Exempted Village School board met Nov. 17. Several individuals and students were recognized.
The board welcomed middle school math
teacher McKayla Jackson and Michael Schweinsberg, 4-H youth development educator.
They are in charge of the Paulding Middle

which is a compilation of everything students need in life, such as credit, debt, colleges
and more.
Jackson explained a project the classes did in
which students came up with a career that they
are interested in and researched it. Students
had to research how many hours per week the
job would entail, pay scale, education, training
and certifications, and come up with a timeline
to achieve their goals in reaching the career.
Two students presented their projects, seventh grader Sadie Estle, who wanted to be a
surgeon, and eighth grader Kaela Lucas, who
wanted to be a radiologist.
Justin Carnahan, 2014 PHS graduate, was

PCED completes economic

development training, plan
COLUMBUS Paulding
County Economic Development Inc. was one of 16
Ohio counties to receive the
AEP Ohio 2015 Community Economic Development
Academy (CEDA) Award at
the recent Ohio Economic
Development
Association
Annual Summit in Columbus.
For completing the process, AEP Ohio granted
Paulding County Economic
Development $10,000 that
will assist the community accomplish with some of their
priorities set forth in the
CEDA plan.
The purpose of the CEDA

program was to help local
economic development professionals and key community leaders understand the
types of information required
and how to respond quickly
to site consultants requests
for information.
The CEDA training culminated in a mock community
and site visit by InSite Consulting, an economic development, site selection and
real estate services group located in Greer, S.C.
Jerry Zielke, PCED director, said that this visit was a
team effort which included
individuals from AEP Ohio,

Antwerp CIC, Paulding
County Economic Development board, Paulding County commissioners, Paulding
County Mayor Association,
Paulding Putnam Electric
Co-op, Regional Growth
Partnership and Village of
Paulding CIC, to provide a
vision for future economic
development in all areas of
Paulding County.
An action plan was then
developed to implement the
key economic development
priorities identified throughout the process.
A week of Aggravation,
sickness and tragedy
It is 7 a.m. Joseph, 13,

Lovina, 11, and Kevin, 10,
just left for school. It sounds
very windy outside, but the
temperature isnt that cold, 58
degrees.
Son Benjamin, 16, is
outside doing the morning
chores. He doesnt have work
today. Mose is putting a new
motor in his saw if I understood right. The motor came
from Wisconsin so its all
taking time to get repaired.
Benjamin has been enjoying
hunting on some days.
Opening day for shotgun
season was on Sunday. Mose
bought daughter Susan, 19,
a gun and they went hunting
on Monday. Susan didnt get
anything.
This week I have been sewing work pants for son Benjamin. I want to cut out some
dress pants for him yet.
On Sunday my sisters Verena and Susan, our daughter
Elizabeth and her husband
Timothy, and Jacob and Emmas three sons, Jacob Jr.,
Benjamin and Steven, were
here for dinner. Jacob and
Emma went to church in
a neighboring district and
came over in the afternoon.
The family enjoyed the game
Aggravation which can get
pretty loud when the game is
almost over. Jacob Jr. makes
the Aggravation boards. On
one side four people can play
and on the other side six people can play. The board is big
and fits a card table.
Jacob Jr. had his 16th birthday on Nov. 17. He has muscular dystrophy. He enjoys
making things from wood.
It helps give him an income
since he doesnt always have
work.
Sunday evening Verena
and Benjamin took Jacob Jr.
along to the youth singing
and supper. Daughters Verena
and Loretta have been cleaning windows here the last few
need to get busy cleaning. We

also need to butcher beef and
pork sometime. I would be
glad if we could get that done
before we do the cleaning, but
we will see.
Last week, my husband Joe
was home every day except
Monday. He was on an antibiotic for ear infection from the
doctor at work. His ear kept
getting worse so he went to
the local walk-in clinic when
our family doctor couldnt
see him. The clinic doctor
gave him another antibiotic
and medicated ear drops.
His temperature was around
102 to 103 degrees most of
the week. He felt a little better
by this past Monday and went
back to work again. But then
he came home that evening
with his ear throbbing again.
Finally our family doctor
was able to work him in that
evening. He gave Joe a fiveday antibiotic and said he has
fluid behind the ears from a
sinus infection. We are hoping the five-day antibiotic

will cure it as hes been pretty miserable with this pain. It
makes his whole head hurt.
If he doesnt get relief from
this, the doctor wants him to
come back. This has interrupted Joes deer hunting too.
I will be glad once hes free
from all the pain that ear has
given him.
We are praying for a complete recovery of Suzanne (a
friend of Verena and Loretta).
She was in a bad accident in
South Africa while on a mission trip from her church. She
is in critical condition and
two of her friends died from
the accident. May God guide
the families through this tragic time! Our sympathy to the
families of the deceased. Suzanne is in a hospital in South
Africa.
Gods blessings to all. Here
is a different kind of dessert
using pumpkin.

1 8-ounce cream cheese, softened
2 cups heavy cream
2-1/2 cups milk
3 small packages instant vanilla pudding

Giving thanks for lifes blessings

In the coming week, many
Ohioans will gather in celebration of Thanksgiving Day.
The Thanksgiving holiday
has gradually become known
as a day dedicated to eating
a turkey dinner and watching
football. It is important, however, to remember what this
holiday is truly about giving thanks for lifes blessing.
The first Thanksgiving
was a celebration between
Pilgrims and Native Americans, honoring their successful harvest as well as their
friendship. The Pilgrims had
arrived in Massachusetts
during a hard winter, and
many more of them might
have died had it not been

for the assistance provided
by the Native Americans. In
facing such consistent adversity, having an abundance of
food was certainly cause for
thanksgiving.
As we sit down to our
Thanksgiving meal this year,
its important that much
like the Pilgrims and Native
Americans, we must set aside
the stress and hardships we
may be facing. With the commotion of our everyday lives,
many of us dwell on the troubles we may have rather than
counting all our blessings.
Although the blessings that
the Pilgrims had were few,
they made it a point to slow

down and give thanks for the
one blessing that was most
important to them food.
The Pilgrims serve as the
ultimate example for gratitude this Thanksgiving.
While we and many of our
family and friends may be
facing adversity and what
may seem like an impossible
situation, I believe each of
us have something positive
to be grateful for. For me, I
am always thankful to have
a loving and supportive family by my side. Thanksgiving
provides us with the time to
embrace each others company, and its always an op-
Jerry Zielke (right) was the speaker at the Kiwanis Club of

Paulding County. Zielke, who is the county economic development director, reviewed many things that happened last year and
the things that are happening now that will be a reality next year.
One of them is the addition of a small business department to be
located in the former law library on the south side of the square.

Antwerp School experiences
savings with new lighting
By JOE SHOUSE
Progress Staff Writer
ANTWERP In a brief meeting of the Antwerp Local School
board a report concerning updated lighting was made using
pictures revealing the contrast
between the old lighting and the
newer LED lighting throughout the school parking lot. The
lighting is much improved and
according to technology coordinator Harold Gottke the new system will be more cost effective.
While exterior lighting continues to improve, the inside light-
ing is also being considered in

both gymnasiums and the auditoria. Currently a plan is in place
and lighting engineers have been
contacted about how to proceed
with the project. However, having it installed prior to the new
year is unlikely.
With the lighting improvements already made the school
has received rebates in the
amount of $4,400. Gottke reported the new LED lights save
12,000 watts per hour of usage
causing the light usage to drop
from 3 percent to 1.2 percent of

Superintendent Dr. Martin
Miller gave a quick update concerning the 2016-17 proposed
school calendar. After input from
teachers and staff it appears the
new calendar will be similar to
previous years. Miller said the
one change that will be implemented but will have little overall effect will be the change over
from days to hours.
The state law forces public schools in Ohio to do this.
Hours will be calculated with
high school students attending a
minimum of 1,001 hours of class

work and the elementary students
needing 921 hours, said Miller.
The new calendar will be part
of the board agenda for December and will be voted on at that
time.
In other items:
District treasurer Kristine
Stuart gave board members updated financial information. For
the month of October receipts
totaled $970,032.55 with expenses coming in at $681,262.34. Interest income totaled $1,650.41.
Stuart reported that during October the district received its quarterly income tax total.
The third grade reading tests
during the fall will be held on
Dec. 8-9. The important test must
be passed by each third grader in
order to prove their proficiency
in reading and allowing them to
move to the next grade.
Cross vountry assistant
coach Susan Jewell and members of the cross country team
were commended for their efforts
during the tournament. Annie
Miesle, Erik Buchan and Sam
Williamson all participated in either the regional or state competition.
Students and staff collected
545 food items for the Neighbors
in Need food drive. The school
partnered with two area radio stations with food items being given
to local food banks.
An overnight trip for the
yearbook students was approved.
The group will be going to Kent
State University on April 1-2,
2016.
New board member Sara
Schuette, who will begin her term
in January was introduced.
Dr. Martin thanked the public for their support of the income
tax renewal levy that passed in
early November. Board president
Dennis Recker also thanked the
voters for his successful re-election bid.

The coal oil and sugar remedy
This has been a week like

no other. Trust me, it is so
difficult to be housebound for
over a week. It is so ironic
how fate can interrupt all of
your plans and there is just
nothing you can do about it.
Last week was to be a good
busy week for me, but on
Sunday I did not feel good
and by Monday had to go to
the doctor. The diagnosis?
Bronchitis. It appears that this
nasty bug is going around and
making a lot of people sick.
I figured I was a tough old
gal who with the help of two
shots and an antibiotic could
whip this in a couple days.
That was not the case. A week
later, I am still struggling
with a cough, no appetite and
a case of the doldrums.
People have been especially helpful since I have been a
prisoner of this dreaded little
germ. I was told to drink lots
of fluids. Well, I tried. The
only thing that tasted good
was water. I think I drank
so much water that I almost
drowned.
Then good old chicken
soup. I either ate chicken
soup or drank the broth until
it was coming out of my ears.
You would think that one of
these would suffice.
I was told to grease my feet
all over with Vicks salve. I
did get a small jar and I believe I had Vicks from one
end of me to the other. In fact,
A Penny for
Your Thoughts
By
Nancy Whitaker
I may have to get another jar.
With bronchitis comes a
cough that just doesnt stop.
I coughed all day and all
night and was afraid I would
wake the dead by the dreadful hacking. First I got cough
pills; they seemed to work a
bit, then the doctor gave me
cough syrup. Yuck. One taste
of that cough medicine and I
can see why kids dont like it.
One good thing about the
cough syrup was that it had
like an injector in it. It looked
like a gadget you would give
a shot with. I measured out
my 1 teaspoon, tilted back
my head, opened my mouth
and missed. (How could I do
that?) I got part of it down
though, because I sure remember that taste.
Then here comes our first
snowfall of the season and I
love snow. But I was on the
inside looking out, wishing I

could get some to make snow
cream. Dont get me wrong.
I am very appreciative and
thankful for the antibiotics
and medicines we have to
help us.
I always thought I would
have liked to live in the
1800s, but I think if I had
bronchitis back then, perhaps
I would not have survived.
However, some of the ordinary things that Grandma
used to cure a cold we still
used today. I can still recall
my old granny making us 10
grandkids line up to get our
yearly cold remedy medicine. It was horrid and we
all cried when we had to take
it. She would probably have
been put in jail for giving us
her remedy today. It was a
heaping teaspoon of coal oil
and sugar. I cringe today just
thinking of it, but I have not
tried it yet, so who knows?
I will say that I think I am
on the mend. With the help of
chicken soup, plenty of fluids,
Vicks and modern medicine,
perhaps I will survive. Today,
I am drinking coffee and orange juice and I think that a
pound of chocolate may just
cure me.
Have you had bronchitis
yet this year? How did you
treat it? Did your grandma
have any old remedies? Send
them to me and I will give you
a Penny for Your Thoughts.
Western Buckeye hears positive

report on 21st Century Grant
VAN WERT The Western Buckeye ESC

governing board held its regular monthly board
meeting and heard the latest update concerning
the 21st Century Grant.
Treasurer Kim Jones reviewed the current financial reports, investments and the monthly expenditures.
Superintendent Brian Gerber updated the board
on the current status of the ESC as well as the 21st
Century Grant.
Gerber commended grant coordinator Ashley
Shepherd and her staff on the outstanding work
the 21st Century program is providing the schools
and students that were awarded the grant.
The sites utilizing the grant program include
Wayne Trace Jr./High School, Paulding Elementary, Oakwood Elementary, Antwerp Elementary
and Lincolnview Elementary. Each school is successfully licensed through the Ohio Department of
Education and fully staffed with certified teachers.
We are near or exceedingcapacity at all of our
sites, two of our elementary sites have waiting
lists. We are currently looking into the possibility
of partnering with Defiance College for their educationstudents to volunteer and earn practicum
hours by assisting our staff with small group tutoring and homework help, said Gerber.
A large portion of the after school program is
focused on providing academic supports for students, however staff also builds in opportunities
for college and career readiness activities and
youth development. The students at WTHS recently took a tour of the Paulding County Jail and
met with Sheriff Jason Landers about what it takes

to be in law enforcement.
Paulding Elementary students wroteletters thanking
localveteran s for their service. The letters were
shared at the elementary Veterans Day program.
Oakwood students volunteered to rake leaves for a
family in need of assistance. Antwerp Elementary
hosted their first Family Math Night, titled Wild
for Problem Solving. Familiesrotated math stations thatrequired them topractice estimation,
logic and strategy. Lincolnview Elementary students recentlyenjoyed acanvas painting class
with a local artist.
This program is very beneficial to the students
in our area. We are fortunate to have this resource
within Western Buckeye ESC. It takes dedicated
hard working staff members to make this program
successful. We certainly have those high quality
staff members in place to serve our students via
the 21st Century Grant, concluded Gerber.
The following consent items were unanimously
passed:
Extend a one-year limited contract to Warren Fauver for the position of 21st Century Grant
program evaluator at a rate of $353.50 per day by
timesheet for the period of Oct. 1, 2-15 June 30,
2016.
Sue Wettig to volunteer at Thomas Edison
Preschool.
The next regular board meeting will be at 6 p.m.
Wednesday, Dec. 16 at the Paulding ESC office.

State recognizes LEPC
Edward Bohn, county EMA director, presents the states recent LEPC
award to Bill Edwards, chairman of the Paulding County LEPC.
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
PAULDING The Paulding County Local Emergency
Planning Committee (LEPC)
was recognized by Ohio Service Response Committee for
its efforts in reaching standards
set for county LEPC organizations.
Edward Bohn, county LEPC
emergency coordinator and
county EMA director, was on
hand in Columbus to receive
the certificate of recognition by
the State of Ohio EPA director
Now Accepting
Container Glass
Jeffery Beattie.
This came as somewhat of
a surprise to me, said Bohn. I
said to the person sitting beside
me that I could probably leave
because were not going to get
anything. I was stunned when I
heard our name called with this
recognition.
This is only the fifth time in
the 25-year history of the Ohio
SERC that Paulding County
LEPC has been recognized,
said Bohn.
The LEPC is comprised of
22 members of the public and
private sectors in Paulding

County who have knowledge
and awareness of planning and
response to incidents involving
hazardous materials.
The purpose of the LEPC is
to plan, coordinate and communicate on issues involving
annual chemical inventory
reporting, plan development,
exercise the county hazardous
material plan and train first responders to bring awareness of
county hazards to its residents.
The data that the LEPC obtains is taken and compiled into
a hazardous analysis profile
within Paulding County.
The LEPC Recognition
Award is given to those counties that hold meetings on a
regular basis, develop and
update by-laws, provide an
updated hazardous materials
plan for the county, submit an
annual fiscal report, coordinate
and hold an annual hazmat exercise, provide periodic LEPC
reports on the given due dates
along with promoting the purpose of the countys LEPC.
This wouldnt be possible
without the skill and hard work
of team members serving on
our committee, said Bohn.
We owe a big thank you to all
of those who give of time and
effort for their involvement.

Dont drive past

your next discovery
Many times I have driven

past the Baltzell-Lenhart Nature Preserve in rural Adams
County, Ind., with the sense
of simply heading across
country and passing another woods. Then, one day I
noticed a plaque in front of
the woods and what appeared
to be a trail system going
into the forest. Suddenly, it
dawned on me that I had been
driving past one of the most
peaceful hiking sanctuaries
in the area, a place that has
brought unbelievable solitude and beauty now that Ive
made a new discovery in
my life.
The moment I first stepped
on the trail, I felt the electricity. In an atmosphere
consisting of bright sunlight,
singing birds and quietness
beyond heavenly notion, I
walked on trails for a good
hour in a woods inspiring and
presenting itself as a twin
sister to another one of my
favorite forests, the Munro
Preserve, located about 10
miles south of this newly-discovered surprise and sacred
forest, realizing once again
how all of Gods creation
canvases are so connected
and yet so unique.
A walk earlier this fall
along County Road 230,
on the north side of Forrest
Woods in our beloved Paulding County, made one of the
most picture-perfect strolls
available anywhere. At that
HOMESPUN
By
JIM LANGHAM
time, bright goldenrod, sunflowers, wild yellow primrose, New England purple
asters and various other seasonal asters turned our simple
county road into a circus of
colors that rivaled any nature
setting anywhere.
As I realized how many
times people, with all types
cares on their minds, zip past
these beautiful sanctuaries
without a thought, I realized
again the discoveries available on a daily basis for those
who will but take a moment
to look, observe and slow
down for just a few minutes.
Take the Forrest Woods,
for example.
In recent days, Terri Gorney, 20-year president of
the Paulding County Genealogical Society and lifelong
historian and naturalist Ray
Keck had been asked to keep

records of birds and other
forms of wildlife in the ancient forest.
Actually, Gorney has been
keeping records in that woods
since 2008 where she has discovered ground nesting birds,
dickcissel and bobolink there
in the summer.
Gorney said that these days
many previous birds have returned to the county and are
using its natural resources
that previously become rare
for many years. She said that
it is not unusual to see eagles,
red-tail hawks, great blue
and green heron and roughlegged hawks in the winter.
It is so exciting to see
them back in the county and
using the preserve, Gorney
said to me lately.
As recently as this past
weekend, Joyce and I were
driving around the area taking snow pictures when we
came across a new preserve,
Halls Preserve, located along
Caldwell Road just south
of Paulding County in Van
Wert County. Immediately,
the surge of new scenes, new
pictures and trails and new
discoveries vibrated through
my heart. Every day they are
there for the finding, the enjoyment and taking in, Gods
gifts through nature for those
who will slow down long
enough to accept His new
reaching gift for the day.
VIP DAY Grover Hill second graders enjoyed VIP Day when their invited guests joined them for part
of the day last Wednesday. Students along with their VIP ate lunch together, attended recess in the gym
and participated in classroom activities. One of the activities was developing as many words as possible using the phrase Thanksgiving Day. Audrey Dougal, a student in Mrs. Meads class, and her mom,
VIP Amy Dougal, work together to form another word. Standing by is classmate Kiera Youtsey.
Agronomy Notes: Sulfur
By Dave Strait
Bypass Agronomy LLC
Atmospheric sulfur deposition from industrial sources has been declining rapidly for
several years. While this is good for the environment, it has a detrimental effect on crop
production. During the past 18 years, according
to annual soil test averages compiled by A&L
Great Lakes Labs, available soil sulfur has been
reduced by 50%. During the same time period
average crop yields have gone up by 20% increasing the need for supplemental sulfur.
Below is a list of published sulfur removal
rates:
By Cornell University
Shelled corn at 180 bu. 8.64#
Corn silage at 25 ton
17.32#
Alfalfa hay at 4 ton
19.52#
Soybeans at 50 bu.
8.0#
By AgPHD
Wheat grain at 70 bu.
7.0#
8.4#
Chapter officers are Virginia Paulus, Wheat straw

The
sulfur
deficiencies
need
to be replaced;
president; Linda Wisda, vice president; Justine Holtsberry, secretary and Carol Schaefer, there are several common sources.
Ammonium sulfate is available in both liquid
treasurer.
(8-0-0-9) and dry (21-0-0-24) forms. It contains
readily available nitrogen and sulfur. It also has

a neutral pH and is compatible with other fertilizers.
Ammonium thiosulfate (12-0-0-26) is a liquid with readily available forms of nitrogen
and sulfur. Unlike ammonium sulfate, it is not
neutral and carries a double negative charge.
When combined with poly phosphate (10-340), which has a double positive charge, it can
make portions of the phosphate unavailable to
crops. It also has the highest salt index of all
commercial fertilizer products and will give
excessive burning to growing crops when foliar
applied.
Elemental sulfur is a 90% sulfur used in dry
fertilizer because of its ease of use. Just for fun,
spend some time looking up its availability to
growing crops. Your grandchildren might get
some good out of it.
There are several manufactured supplemental
sulfur products available, most of which are very
expensive per pound of nutrient. These products
usually contain 10% or less sulfur but do have a
use in correcting deficiencies in growing crops
because they are very safe for foliar applications
and anywhere except on the seed.

Win-a-Turkey winners named
Big Ten

that is at least 25 feet long that
displays maybe 20 items from
each of the schools. It was easy
collecting items related to the
more familiar teams of the conference Ohio State, Michigan,
Michigan State, Indiana, Purdue,
Northwestern, Iowa and Illinois.
Even when Nebraska joined the
conference, their popularity made
it somewhat easy to secure Cornhusker items. However, the latest

additions to the conference, both
Maryland and Rutgers, are a little
bit more of a challenge, said Arnold. Im still working on those
schools.
Arnold noted that many items
have been gifts but many come
from places like Goodwill and
garage sales. Fort Wayne garage
sales are a good place to pick up
Purdue items, according to the

Wayne Trace superintendent.
When asked what his favorite
item is in his collection is, it took
a couple of minutes to give an
answer. Its not so much the item
itself but how it came about him
receiving it.
Thats a tough one. But I
would have to say its the Iowa
Hawkeye candleholder. I got
it from my sister Corinne. Her
daughter was running cross country and track for Michigan State
and when she had a meet at Iowa
City my sister attended the meet
and found the candle holder and
thought it would make a great
edition to the collection, said Arnold.
A few years ago Steve was having a little trouble finding Minnesota Golden Gopher memorabilia
around the area. Again, his sister
came to his rescue. Corinne, who
lives in Columbus told Steve
about a Big 10 gift shop at the the
Port Columbus Airport. The shop
caters to the Big 10 and all the
teams were represented throughout the shop.
I just so happened to be at the
airport shortly after my sister told
me about the store and so I found
it and after some serious shop-
ping I walked out with $50 worth

of Minnesota gear, Arnold said.
Mission accomplished.
Now, about one last item. Its
a Wheaties cereal box. It depicts the football Wildcats from
Northwestern and their 1995 conference championship. Which
brings me back to the Wildcats
and why Steve puts them right at
the top of his favorite teams in the
conference along with the Buckeyes.
I guess you could say there
are a couple of reasons. One is
their academic standards and the
other is that I like the underdog,
he said.
So, when Ohio State plays the
Wolverines on Saturday, Arnold
will be in a cant lose situation.
The Buckeyes will most likely
be favored to win and if they pull
out the victory, all is well. And, if
Michigan, the likely underdog
pulls the upset, then Arnold will
be fine with that because, after all,
he likes the underdog.
However, I really believe the
underdog role only applies to
Northwestern. And for Arnold,
like any Ohio State fan, nothing
would please him more than to
see the team from up north go
down in defeat.

Wayne Trace Local Schools
Passed levy brings tax

reduction as promised
By JOE SHOUSE
Progress Staff Writer
HAVILAND A kept
promised was realized and the
emergency purchase of a new
boiler was approved during
the Wayne Trace Local board
of education meeting.
The Wayne Trace School
board kept their promise and
the districts taxpayers will
reap a benefit of the recent
passage of the 0.75 percent
income tax renewal levy. The
levy is for operations and permanent improvements. With
the passage the district promised to reduce its debt on existing facilities and construction bonds.
A resolution was passed requesting the auditor to reduce
the millage from two separate
bond issues in the amount of
0.7 mills and 0.3 mills effective Jan. 1, 2016.
With the promise the board
of education made to its voters, we have taken the first
step to pay down debt on the
building bond by one mill.
By doing this, the taxpayers
that own real estate, will save
$163,000 per year for the next
seven years, said Superintendent Steve Arnold. Like
Arnold said earlier in the fall
during the levy campaign, If
the levy passes we will do this
reduction as a way of saying
thank you to the voters who
support the school district.
In what was described as an
emergency situation, Arnold
expressed to the board the
boiler at the jr./sr. high build-

Sheriff Landers reported a Memo
of Understanding for the out housing

learn more about the county sheriffs
responsibilities and duties.
Klopfenstein updated the group on
personnel changes in the commissioners office. He also noted the three

Commissioners Journal November 4, 2015

This 4th day of November, 2015,
the Board of County Commissioners
met in regular session with the following members present: Roy Klopfenstein, Tony Zartman, and Nola Ginter,
Clerk. Absent: Mark Holtsberry.
Pam Miller, Economic Development, presented the Paulding County
Economic Developments (PCED)
letter requesting the first half 2015
administration fees for the Revolving
Loan Fund (RLF)((Fund 080) in the

request were the work logs, indicating the hours worked on RLF by the
PCED director and administrative assistant for January through June 2015.
Travis McGarvey, Paulding County
Engineer, met with the commissioners
to provide and update. He noted the
additional, heavy traffic to and from
the wind turbines does effect the lifespan of the roads. The wind farm companies have had road agreements with
the county and townships to return the
roads to their original (or an upgraded)
condition.
McGarvey stated that, while upgrading the condition of a roadway is
a good thing, it could result in higher
maintenance costs for his office and
the township trustees in the future.
McGarvey also noted he is beginning union negotiations.
County Court Judge Suzanne Rister
reported traffic violation cases are up
from last year. She noted that a high
percentage are out of state.
She requested an executive session
to discuss personnel issues (see resolution below).
Coral Fetzer and Ryan Mapes,
Paulding County Soil and Water Conservation District Fetzer presented
the October financial reports as requested. She also provided Septembers activity report for the commissioners review.
Fetzer was excited to announce she
will be applying for a grant for Paulding County. She added that Paulding
County would have a good chance
of being the lead county for the grant
that would provide a technician to
share with another county. Fetzer and
Mapes discussed office space, which
may become an issue if the grant is
secured.
Fetzer was happy to announce
PCSWCD has been chosen to host the
2016 Ohio Federation of SWCDs Envirothon. The event will take place at
the Nature Center at the fairgrounds.
Envirothon is designed to stimulate,
reinforce and enhance interest in the

Big runs send WT past Cougars in girls opener
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
VAN WERT Wayne
Trace put together a 15-2
run to close the first half and
followed that up with a 12-2
spurt to start the second half
as the Raiders pulled away
from host Van Wert for a 5738 win over the Cougars Saturday night.
Van Wert actually led 1917 midway through the second quarter before the Raiders two big runs turned the
game in Wayne Traces favor.
They had a big run there
in the second quarter, commented Van Wert head coach
Lance Moonshower. Our
girls played hard and we did
some good things tonight. We
just have to build on that.

Trailing
19-17,
a
three-pointer by Courtney
Mead ignited the Raider
run. Two Gracie Gudakunst
baskets and a bucket from
Brooke Sinn helped Wayne
Trace push the lead to 27-19.
Following two foul shots
by the Cougars Cassidy
Meyers, the Raiders added an
Estie Sinn basket and a Mead
three-pointer to end the half
on top 32-21.
I thought once we settled down that we played
much better after that, noted
Raider head coach Bethany
Hughes. It took us a little
bit to calm down and play but
once we did, the girls did a
good job.
Wayne Trace then put the
game away in the third quarter.
One of two free throws
from Erin Mohr followed
by three Mohr baskets gave
Wayne Trace a 39-23 lead.
A Mead foul shot along
with a pair of Mohr buckets

stretched the Raider lead to
44-23 and the visitors cruised
from there. Wayne Trace led
46-25 entering the fourth
quarter.
Van Wert did close within
49-35 in the final period on a
Reagan Priest bucket but the
Raiders responded.
Seven straight Wayne
Trace points, including buckets by Mohr and Gudakunst
and two free throws by Mead,
extended the Raider lead to
56-35 before settling on the
57-38 win.
Overall, we played okay
tonight, Hughes continued.
We had to play through
some adversity and I think
once we adjust to some new
roles, the girls will be fine.
Both teams had to overcome injuries early in the
game.
Van Werts Alexis Rupert
went down with an apparent
knee injury in the first quarter
and did not return.
Wayne Traces Danae Myers also was injured in the
opening stanza, suffering
a broken nose battling for
a loose ball with teammate
Estie Sinn and the Cougars
Reagan Priest.
Early on, they were able
to hurt us on the boards,
Moonshower continued. We
did a better job of rebounding as the game went though.
Cassidy Meyers played well
tonight and did a good job of
being more aggressive for us.
We just have to continue to
work hard and improve.
Meyers led the Cougars (02) with 11 points while Ally
Jackson and Priest chipped
in six each. Jackson also had
seven rebounds for Van Wert.
Mohr topped Wayne Trace

WAYNE TRACE LOCAL SCHOOLS - DECEMBER 2015 NEWSLETTER

SUPERINTENDENTS MESSAGE
By STEPHEN ARNOLD
As we approach the upcoming holiday season,
Id like to pause for a moment and thank the
Wayne Trace faculty & staff and the families in
our community for making student-learning the
highest priority in our district. We must all
remember that what takes place during the regular school day is the most important part of the
school experience. We will continue to have high
academic expectations for all students, and
family support is critical for these expectations to
be met.
Many thanks also go out to our community for
renewing the five-year tax levy. This money,
which is used for both regular school operations
and permanent improvement projects, allows our
district to maintain current programming and
operations. On behalf of the WT Board of Education and Citizens for WT Tax Levy, we appreciate
your continued support of our great school district.
Speaking further of support, thank you to all
family members who attended the recent parent/
teacher conferences held at all three school
buildings. Remember, you may set up a conference with your child(ren)s teachers at any time,
not just during parent/teacher conferences. As
Ive stated many times, educating a child is a joint
endeavor between the school and home.
In academic news, our teachers and staff continue to introduce the state content standards to
our students as the Ohio Department of Education (ODE) continues to make changes at the
state level. A tremendous amount of work has
gone into adapting to the state-mandated testing
system over the past few years with another
round of changes coming again this year. Much
to the delight of many educators and parents
around the state of Ohio, the PARCC system of
tests has been axed from Ohios testing market
and will be replaced in full by tests provided by
the American Institutes of Research (AIR) in all
four content areas English/language arts, math,
science, and social studies. We also anticipate a
decrease in the amount of time spent testing our
students, meaning more time can now be
devoted to introducing content and providing
instruction to students. Everyones continued
cooperation is appreciated during this transformation period as the ODE, state legislators, and
local boards of education continue to find the
most efficient and accountable means for measuring our students understanding of the state
content standards.
In further academic news, the ODE is planning
to release district and building-level report card
information in the next month or so. Preliminary
results on the 2014-2015 PARCC and AIR tests
reflect that Wayne Trace has met or exceeded
the minimum expectation on all state-mandates
tests. We anxiously await the official results on
these tests, as well as our scores on other measured areas, including performance index, graduation rate, gap closing, and value-added measures.
As we wait for these results, I would again like to
assure our parents and community members that
teaching and learning are taking place every day
in all three WT school buildings.
Turning to school transportation, we have
entered the time of year where our hazardous
weather situations have turned from fog to snow
and ice. When it comes to making decisions
about whether to delay or cancel school, the
good news is that snow and ice seem to be a little
more consistent and predictable than what fog is.
Although bad winter weather may set in after
buses are out, this is less-likely to happen than
with fog. With that said, please demand that
your student-drivers slow down and use caution
during the winter season. Likewise, we will continue to use common sense when calling school
delays and cancellations with the safety of our
students of utmost importance.
In school calendar news, please be reminded
that school will be delayed two hours on December 11 for a teacher in-service program. Buses
will run two hours late that day. Also, in new
calendar news, please make note that school will
be dismissed one hour early on Friday, December
18.
Congratulations go out to Miss Sharon Spinner,
Mrs. Joni Wenninger, Mrs. Angie Stokes and the
entire performing and visual arts departments for
the outstanding Fine Arts Festival held at the JH/
HS on November 13. Countless hours of behindthe-scenes work goes into making such an event
a success, and wed like to thank the teachers and
the Wayne Trace students for their work. Wed
also like to express our gratitude to everyone
who attended the festival and for their support of
our performing and visual arts departments.
Thanks also go out to the staff members who
organized this years Veterans Day assemblies at
each school building and to the Veterans in our
community who attended one or more of the
assemblies. From everyone at Wayne Trace Local
Schools, thank you for your service to our great
nation.
With the approaching Christmas season, Wayne
Trace student organizations will be sponsoring
various food, clothing, and gift drives. If you are
able, please consider helping those less fortunate

than you are. Helping others is the real gift of
life.
As always, if you have questions or concerns
about your childs educational experience at
Wayne Trace, feel free to contact your building
principal or superintendent. Go Raiders!

MESSAGES FROM THE PRINCIPALS

WT PAYNE ELEMENTARY
Jody Dunham, Principal
December is going to be a very busy month
with the students and staff focusing on completing those first semester lessons while at the
same time enjoying traditional holiday events.
We wish to thank everyone who contributed to
the Neighbors in Need food collection. All items
collected were given to the food bank at the St.
Paul United Methodist Church in Payne.
December is the month for the First Grade VIP
Day. The students are excited to invite their special VIPs to come to school at 1:45 on Friday,
December 4, to spend the afternoon with them.
The community is invited to join us for our
Christmas program on December 10 at 9:30 and
1:30 in the auditorium. Students in grades 3-6
will be participating in this program.
Just a reminder, that there is a two-hour delay
on Friday, December 11. The teachers and staff
will be spending this time analyzing student
growth data. Payne Elementary is committed to
accurately identifying the specific learning needs
of each student. We use growth measures to
prepare lessons that teach the state standards to
all students, while providing each student with
the opportunity to practice these skills using
varied options to demonstrate their individual
mastery.
The Student Council will be leading the annual
Penny Pitch Collection with proceeds used to
purchase hygiene and cleaning products for four
families. The collection will conclude the morning
of the annual Benefit Dodge Ball Game. You are
invited to attend this fun event at 9:30 on Friday,
December 18.
Finally, we want to remind everyone that
school will be dismissed one hour early on Friday,
December 18.
The staff at Payne Elementary wish you a
blessed Christmas Season. Merry Christmas!
WT GROVER HILL ELEMENTARY
Kevin Wilson, Principal
December seems to be a short school month,
but yet we have so much to accomplish.
First, we have third-grade state test which is a
requirement of the Third Grade Guarantee. The
testing dates will be December 2 and 3 in the
mornings both days. We ask you to make sure
your child gets a good nights sleep along with a
healthy breakfast.
The WTGH Christmas Program, A Pirate Christmas, will be held on Tuesday, December 8, with
performances at 2:00 and 7:00. We ask that you
keep in mind that Perry Street is a one-way street
and parking on the north side of the street is for
those who live there.
We ask you to be
respectful of them and not park on the north side
of Perry Street. We hope you can attend our
fantastic Christmas Program.
To go along with the Christmas program, the
PTO will have a basket raffle and bake sale. There
will be a few different baskets to choose from
including the traditional Ohio State Basket. Tickets may be purchased in the Grover Hill Elementary office beginning Monday, November 30. The
cost is $1.00 for one ticket or $5.00 for six tickets.
Proceeds from ticket sales and bake sale are used
to benefit the GH students and school.
The GH Student Council will be organizing their
annual food drive from November 30 through
December 11. All items collected will be used to
help the area churches food pantry. Items
needed include canned goods, boxed goods, baby
wipes, diapers, and cereals, laundry items,
hygiene items, and cleaning supplies. You may
send your donations to school with your children
or you may bring your items to the school office

between the 8:00 and 3:00. Thank you for helping make a better Christmas for needy families.
The staff and I would like to thank all of the
parents who were able to attend Parent/Teacher
Conferences. This year Conferences were very
well attended as we had over 94% of the parents
attend. If you were unable to attend the conferences but would still like to speak with your
childs teacher, you may do so by contacting the
Grover Hill Elementary office.
I would like to thank Mrs. Klopfenstein and the
entire Grover Hill staff for an outstanding Literacy
Night. Also, thanks to those who attended this
amazing event. Reading is so important, and that
is why we are so passionate when it comes to
helping all students become outstanding readers.
If you could not attend Reading Under the Stars
dont worry, this spring there are plans to create
a STEM or STEAM night.
In closing, we as a staff would like to thank the
many Veterans for their service to our great
country. We also want to thank those who were
able to attend the outstanding Veterans Day
assembly. This program was the product of the
hard work of Mrs. Davis and her Student Council
students. Again, thanks for all who participated
in the Veterans Day program.
At this time, I want to wish you a very Merry
Christmas and a Happy New Year.
WT JR./SR. HIGH SCHOOL
Phil Nofziger, Principal
It is hard to believe that December is almost
here! Before we focus on the end of the semester, I would like to thank the parents who participated in our recent parent-teacher conferences.
It is very important for us to keep the lines of
communication open between our parents and
teachers. If you havent had a chance to meet
your son or daughters teachers, please call or
email the teachers to introduce yourself so that
we can team together to provide the best possible education for our Wayne Trace students.
With December comes the end of our first
semester. We will be administering semester
exams on Thursday, December 17 and Friday,
December 18. We have an exam schedule for
these two days that will be given to the students
to take home. Look for this schedule from your
son or daughter on Monday, December 7 and
encourage him/her to prepare as the exams
count 20% of the semester grade for our high
school students. The exams are a significant part
of our junior high students second nine weeks
grade.
The past several weeks I was able to pass out
limited information to our students concerning
the results of last years state testing. The students know how they scored but with little extra
information. The state has promised individual
reports that should come in the near future. I will
distribute these reports to students as it becomes
available. Please check with your son or daughter
for these results.
Our students had a wonderful opportunity to
showcase their talents recently with our annual
Fall Arts Festival. The high school band and choir
had excellent performances and our art students
had many fine displays on hand. Many thanks to
Ms. Spinner, Mrs. Wenninger, and Mrs. Stokes for
leading our students in this endeavor!
Also, I would like to extend my appreciation to
the social studies department, specifically Mrs.
Gudakunst, for planning a very meaningful Veterans Day program. It touched all of us in attendance and once again helped us realize the great
sacrifices that our veterans and families endure
for us to maintain the freedoms that we all too
often take for granted. Thank-you veterans for
what you do to protect our freedom!
Recently, our local chapter of the National
Honor Society inducted seven new juniors into
NHS. The tapping ceremony was held on November 24 with our high school student body in
attendance. These students have met the academic requirements for induction and have
demonstrated character, leadership, and service
traits to our faculty that warrant this recognition.
Congratulations NHS members!
Lastly, I encourage everyone to usher in the
Christmas season by attending our upcoming
choir and band concerts. The junior high band
and choir will perform on Friday, December 11
and the high school band and choir will perform
on Monday, Friday 14. Both concerts will be held
in the high school gymnasium at 7:00 p.m.

The first snow of the season proved to be a substantial one as
generally two to four inches of snow fell across much of Paulding County on Saturday afternoon and evening.
Paulding County EMA director Edward Bohn said on Monday morning that thankfully, in spite of slick roads at times, no
serious injuries or crashes occurred.
It appears that everyone handled this the way they should
have, said Bohn. There were times when some of the roads
got pretty slippery, but it seems like both the highway department and individual drivers were very cautious through the entire event.
Snow started in Paulding County slightly after 1 p.m. in the
western part of the county and moved into the eastern part of the
county within an hour. Generally speaking, it appears that the
western part of the county received heavier amounts.

Weather specialist Rick McCoy of Van Wert County said that

the heavier bands of snow dropped just a little further south and
east than had originally been suspected, causing heavier accumulations in western Paulding and northern Van Wert counties.
Three and possibly four inches in some areas were quite common, while snowfall in the eastern part of the county was limited to two to three inches.
Part of the reason for the lighter amounts to the east was because the storm started as rain and was mixed with rain early on
to the east while those areas in western Paulding County received
all snow throughout the duration of the precipitation.
Officials from the National Weather Service said that the storm
formed and tracked out of the southwest and across the region,
beginning Saturday morning and ending Saturday night. The
NWS said that widespread amounts of 4-8 inches were common
in many parts of Indiana, with Fort Wayne coming in with four
inches in the southern part of the city and 4-6 inches to the north.

Meet Santa Day

slated for Dec. 5
The 2015 Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen

A couple of years ago, I
shared the list of the most pesticide-laden fruits and vegetables
on the market, with the intention
of helping us all make smart
choices when purchasing them
at the grocery store.
This list of 12 is updated
each year by the Environmental Working Group, which also
publishes a list of 15 of the least
contaminated fresh edibles. Im
not sure if the fresh food industry pays a whole lot of attention
to this, striving to get off the
dirty list, but for what its worth,
heres the 2015 version, as announced by the EWG earlier
this year.
DIRTY DOZEN
For the fifth year in a row, apples top the list. Plagued by those
infamous worms, just about the
only way to prevent them is to
spray, and while organic apples
can be had, you most likely will
pay considerably more.
Peaches and nectarines have
similar issues and their thin
skins make them especially susceptible to chemical contamination. Washing and peeling these
did little to reduce contamination levels.

Rounding out the list, in
order, are strawberries, grapes,
celery, spinach, sweet bell peppers, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, imported snap peas and
potatoes.
The EWG also notes those
that may not meet the criteria to
be included on the Dirty Dozen
list, but should be noted as cautionary. The Dirty Dozen PLUS
list includes kale, collard greens,
and hot peppers. While these
dont contain high pesticide levels overall, they were found to
contain pesticides that are toxic
to the human nervous system. If
you eat a lot of these, then it is
especially recommended to seek
out organic versions.
If the thought of eating a little
pesticides with your fruits and
veggies doesnt appeal to you,
you can choose to consume
those on the EWGs Clean Fifteen list.
CLEAN FIFTEEN
None of the fruits and vegetables on the Clean Fifteen list
tested completely clear of pesti-
cides, but avocados came close.

Only one percent of avocado
samples showed pesticides of
any kind.
Other items on the list with
low pesticide residue include
sweet corn, pineapples, cabbage, frozen sweet peas, onions,
asparagus, mangoes, papayas,
kiwi, eggplant, grapefruit, cantaloupe, cauliflower, and sweet
potatoes. None of the Clean
Fifteen tested positive for more
than four different pesticides,
while the Dirty Dozen showed
evidence of up to 15 on a single
sample (grape and sweet bell
pepper).
A total of 48 fruits and vegetables were evaluated and in
this, our off season, when
its difficult to find local freshgrown edibles, you may want to
take their rankings into consideration.
To avoid pesticides, choose
organic when possible, or peel
those fruits and vegetables that
can be peeled. If they cant be
peeled, then certainly wash
them before eating. It wont
remove all traces of pesticides,

PAULDING Paulding Lions Club and Paulding Eagles

are co-sponsoring this years Meet Santa Day. It will be from
11 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 5 at the Eagles building.

noon-1 p.m.

of a childrens raffle. A drawing for a poinsettia will be held
for the adults.

Just an observation: I dont

ahead and eat all the pumpkin pie
you want tomorrow without any
guilt. Happy Thanksgiving!
