By JIM LANGHAM Feature Writer PAULDING – United Way of Paulding County executive director Sonya Herber had just arrived on the scene last year when it was time to set a goal and starting working on the local campaign. Herber laughs these days because she wasn’t even sure what a United Way goal was at the time.

Recently, she fully understands the concept of a goal, and she is ecstatic by what has happened in the past year because the United Way of Paulding

County surpassed its goal by over $4,000.

Local board members set out for the 2013 campaign with a vision of attaining a goal of $55,502. In actuality, local contributors have given $59,889.50 toward the campaign, making it more possible than ever to assist with the needs of county residents.

“The community really stepped up to the plate this year,” said Herber.

“It’s unbelievable what has happened.”

These days, money from the cam-

paign is divided up in the form of community impact grants, as versus the concept of giving to agencies for the past many years.

Herber said that those who feel they would qualify for money from this year’s campaign need to pick up an application, which will be available on April 1. She said that applications can either be secured electronically, by mail or at the United Way office located at 101 E. Perry St. “We are really focusing on programs that impact the community with health, education or financial stability.

Good Friday bake sale set PAULDING – Community Health Professionals volunteers will host a Good Friday bake sale from 9 a.m.-noon March 29 at First Federal Bank, 905 N. Williams St., Paulding. The public is invited to purchase Easter treats in support of CHP’s Visiting Nurses and Hospice program. All items will be sold for a free-will donation.

OAKWOOD – Oakwood Fire Department, in conjunction with Twin Oaks United Methodist Church, will host Breakfast with the Easter Bunny from 8-10 a.m. Saturday, March 30.

An Easter egg hunt will be held at 11 a.m. in Oakwood Park, weather permitting.

These areas are now the focus of the United Way,” said Herber. “We still will have a safety net for those programs that might not fit the impact mold, but can be used for an emergency crisis.

“I’m very excited for this year’s progress,” said Herber. “It is a good move toward the community impact model. Rest assured that the funds are spent with integrity and will make an impact in someone’s life.”

New owner of the old Paulding County Jail, Jeff Hollis and his brother-in-law, Louis Kunkle, who are working on different projects in Paulding. Hollis won the old jail with a bid of $11,777.

Old jail gets new owners who will restore old look

By NANCY WHITAKER Progress Staff Writer PAULDING – The old Paulding County Jail now has a new owner, thanks to Jeff and Cassie Hollis of All Trades Historical Restoration LLC. Their winning bid was $11,777 and their proposal is to clean and repair the exterior and restore the building to its original appearance as best as possible.

The Hollises are not newcomers to the restoration business. Their business boasts three generations of tradesmen who restored many old buildings. Cassie’s father, RJ, along with family members, have restored 147 courthouses – including Paulding’s – to their original condition.

Their plan is to make the building their office headquarters, remodel cell area into apartments for new tenants along with housing their employees, and rent office space.

Jeff Hollis said that they are currently working on the Paulding County Library and are also restoring the old bank building and as soon as those are complete, the work can begin.

He noted, “I have a passion for restoration and am happy to invest in this town. I estimate that it will take at least $100,000 to get it restored.”

Jeffery and Cassie Hollis currently reside in Tampa, Fla., but will soon be calling Paulding their home. Hollis said, “We like this small town and I love saving and restoring old buildings. We will be looking for a home in the area.

“When I was little my mom used to say that I loved old buildings and fixing up stuff.”

Laughingly he said, “I would tear something

apart, just so I could put it back together.”

The new owners believe the old jail site will be a perfect place for their business headquarters. Cassie is an OSHA trainer and is familiar with all aspects of building safety and codes.

She runs the business part of the operation.

The front of the old jail is to be divided and part of it will be used for Cassie’s office. Other professional office space will also be available for anyone wanting to rent it.

Hollis said, “My work crew sometimes comes from different locations and so I want to take the cell blocks and make them into small apartments so they will have a place to stay.”

Jeff Hollis said that he first toured the old jail back in November. He said that he was willing then to “put his hat in the ring” as a potential buyer, but nothing was ever really discussed.

He said the commissioners had discussed tearing it down, but he was excited to get a call from Reta Ptak, owner of Rip It Fit (located in the old bank building that Hollis was restoring) and a voicemail from Progress editor Melinda Krick informing him that bids were going to be taken on the old jail.

That initiated the first round of bidding. The second set of bids was Hollis’ lucky one. He was very happy when Paulding County Commissioner Tony Zartman called him last week and told him that he had the winning bid and the property was his and.

He said, “The old jail has been a part of the history of this town for over 100 years. I am just glad to have the opportunity to help bring it back to its original structure. It is a fine old building and beautifully and structurally sound.”

By MELINDA KRICK Progress Editor PAULDING – A second tax auction for the former Hotel Barnes property was held Thursday morning, March 21, with the Village of Paulding offering the winning bid.

No bids had been received at the first auction held March 7, necessitating the second auction, which was held at the courthouse.

Chief Deputy Mark Butler, standing in for Sheriff Jason Landers, read the order to sell the property with the minimum starting bid of $14,784.92. Paulding Mayor Greg White offered a bid at that amount, which was accepted after no other bids were offered.

This amount includes almost $5,400 in delinquent land taxes and related fees plus over $7,500 to the Village of Paulding to reimburse costs of demolishing the remains of the building after the fire, to total $13,284.54.

In addition, the sale price includes poundage of $194.56; order of sale, $50; court costs, $1,130.82; and

deed and recording, $125.

After the auction, White said that the village bought the property because it was “the only way we are going to recoup our money. We have about $7,600 invested in this.”

He added that village officials didn’t want to see the sale go to a third auction; in that scenario, any amount could have been accepted and would be applied to the delinquent property taxes first.

The village has no set plan for the lot, White said. “One option is to put it up for sale,” but village council will discuss alternatives.

Village solicitor Mike Jones noted that if the village does sell the lot, it will have to be advertised for bids.

The sale ends the long saga of the Hotel Barnes, which dates to 1893.

The vacant building caught fire and was destroyed on Jan. 15, 2012 in a spectacular blaze that threatened many nearby buildings. The fire was ruled arson, but no arrests have been made to date.

The rubble was removed late last fall.

Shovelry is not dead

A late-season snowstorm dumped 5.5 inches of white stuff on the ground, as recorded at the Paulding Water Plant at 7:30 a.m. Monday. Schools were canceled, a few minor motor vehicle mishaps were recorded, and snow plows, blowers and shovels got what is hopefully a final workout as March winds down.

Davis calls it quits after 13 seasons coaching Lady Raiders

By KEVIN WANNEMACHER Sportswriter HAVILAND – Four Green Meadows Conference championships. Three sectional championships. Five winning seasons. And lots of fond memories.

Those are just some of the things that have been a part of Wayne Trace’s girls basketball program over the last 13 seasons under the direction of head coach Greg Davis.

Davis announced his retirement early this season and made it official recently with his resignation submitted to the Wayne Trace school board.

It’s a retirement that, while he still enjoys the game and the kids, it has also become time for him to reset his priorities.

“It was just a good time to go,” commented Davis. “I feel like there is some talent at the junior varsity level and there are some talented players coming back at the varsity level as well.”

The biggest thing, according to Davis, is just spending time with his grandchildren.

“This year, missing some of my grandkids’ games became harder and it got to the point where I wasn’t able to attend them due to coaching more frequently,” added Davis. “It

was frustrating to a point because I would tell them I would be at their games and then it didn’t work out and that was hard to explain to them.”

The Lady Raiders have enjoyed unparalleled success under his direction.

Wayne Trace captured its first Green Meadows Conference championship in school history in 2007-08 and followed that up with three consecutive titles after that.

The red, white and blue also recorded consecutive sectional championships, advancing to the district title game in both 2008 and 2009, before falling to conference foe Tinora each time.

“We were able to make it to the district finals there in backto-back years, but Tinora had a pair of good teams and we came up a little short,” continued the Raider head coach.

Wayne Trace also advanced to the district tournament in 2011, competing in a district that included four of the top ten ranked teams in Division IV. The Raiders fell short to Delphos Jefferson in that tournament, a team that eventually advanced to the state tournament.

“In 2011, it was an unbelievable district tournament with four of the top 10 teams

in the state there,” said Davis.

“It was a district that any one of the four teams was very capable of making a long tournament run and we came up short to a team that eventually played in Columbus.”

Davis, who finishes with a career record of 135-143 and a winning percentage of .486, also has enjoyed the opportunity to coach several girls who have gone on to play at the collegiate level.

“Probably one of the more rewarding things has been the fact that we have been able to have so many girls advance to the collegiate level and the opportunity to keep in touch with them,” Davis commented.

“We have had years where many of those girls have come back and practiced with us at times and just the way we have been able to get together and enjoy the opportunities to talk about the memories and enjoy that time.

“I’ve made a lot of friends in coaching and just in all aspects of the game,” continued Davis.

“It’s been a great opportunity and I’ve enjoyed it. I’ve had the opportunity to work with some quality people, both at WT and at other schools in competition, which have truly been a joy to work with.

“I am going to walk out of

“We were able to put up four league championship banners and three sectional championship banners. Some of the girls we have had the opportu-

nity to coach have been tremendous athletes and they put in a lot of time to enjoy the successes they had.”

Davis walks away from Wayne Trace’s sidelines with a final thought, courtesy of former Fairview head coach Dan English.

“He told me after my first year,” remembers Davis, “he

said, ‘Gus, if you coach to win each night at the varsity level, then you’ve done the job they hired you to do. If you haven’t, then you haven’t done the job.’ I feel like I’ve done the job they hired me to do and I appreciate the opportunity that I’ve had and wish the program nothing but the best in the future.”

United Way of Paulding County to hold annual Luau

Construction workers put the final touches on the U-shaped nurses’ station in the new emergency room. PCH will begin seeing patients in the new ER at noon on Friday, March 29.

Phase 1 of ER renovation complete PAULDING – The first of three phases of ER/lab renovations has been completed. On March 29 at noon, patients can once again enter the Paulding County Hospital Emergency Room at the original locations.

Patients can either drive up to the ER entrance at the rear of the hospital or walk up to the ER registration window in the main outpatient lobby.

n

Currently, five new ER rooms have been completed along with a U-shaped nurses’ station that has a direct line of sight to all patient rooms.

The next phase will include renovations to the east wing of the hospital to move the laboratory permanently. Once the testing lab moves to the east wing, phase three will begin to add two large trauma rooms to the ER. Completion should be this summer.

“My board really helps me,” Herber said. “We have had board members out working on the campaign. Their faces in the community really builds one on one relationships. Sometimes I think that my lack of knowledge at the time and their willingness to step up to the plate was a real blessing.”

Herber praised the assistance of campaign leaders Barb and Stan Searing for their ability to reach out to the community for impact donations.

“Everyone, the businesses, individuals, everyone had a very gracious spirit of giving,” noted Herber. “It’s amazing how each little deed of kindness from our impact community can set off an effect that reaches out to many others.

“What if we didn’t have hospice? What if we didn’t

have the meal delivery? What if we weren’t able to fund the emergency heat program?

What if we didn’t have the Salvation Army or Red Cross? It’s amazing how one thing relates to another in each of these ways,” commented Herber. “The storm that went through last summer tells us about the fiber of this county and the way that everyone reaches out to the other. It’s really not about reaching a goal; it’s about meeting a need.”

Now Serving All of Paulding County and Surrounding Communities

PAULDING – The public is invited to attend a United Way of Paulding County luau from 6 p.m. until midnight, Saturday, April 6 at the Paulding Eagle’s Lodge.

“The special events committee and board members are working hard to raise money to help those in need in our county,” stated Sarah Sajuan, committee member.

“Our committee, comprised of Linda Bostelman, Nedra Mielke, Megan Clark, Anna Lee Adams, Sonya Herber, Pam Miller and I, started organizing the event several months ago.”

The Eagles will provide a steak dinner with baked potato, and salad bar for $12. Kids can eat a hot dog and chips free of charge.

The Junk Yard Band will take the stage at 8 p.m. and will play beach music.

The UWPC acknowledged the Eagle’s Lodge in Paulding for its cash donation, steak dinners and continuing support.

Bid awarded to sell old jail

By MELINDA KRICK Progress Editor PAULDING – The Paulding County commissioners awarded a bid to sell the historic county jail after bids were opened last week.

Four sealed bids were received for the 1876 former jail and sheriff’s office plus two lots. After review, the commissioners accepted the bid from All Trades Historical Restoration in the amount of $11,777.

This is the second set of bids received. The first bids, opened in February, were rejected because three of the four failed to include a plan for the building.

The bids received were: • Kim McMichael of Cutler, $5,000. His proposal includes options of providing inexpensive office and retail space, use as a private residence or storage.

• Rick Fortman of Defiance, $7,777. His proposal is to store his personal collection of antiques and art, restore sheriff’s residence and convert the jail section into consignment booths for antique and art dealers.

• All Trades Historical Restoration LLC, Paulding, $11,777. Their proposal is to clean and repair the exterior and restore the building to its original appearance as best as possible; make the building their office headquarters, remodel cell area into apartments for new tenants along with housing their employees, and rent office space.

• Vern and Tonya Sanderson of Broughton, $1,000. Their proposal is to offer the space as low-cost offices for startup and established businesses, low-cost housing or retail space.

The Amish Cook By: Lovina Eicher A nice sunny day in March, although the thermometer shows 25° this a.m. We have all the meat from our beef either in cans or in the freezer.

My husband, Joe, was home several days last week. On Thursday night and Friday, he made over 400 hamburger patties to put in the freezer. We put freezer paper between each hamburger, so they will pull apart easier. Now, they can go from the freezer to the grill without needing time to unthaw first.

I cooked the meat off from the beef bones and made 28 quarts of vegetable soup. That will be an easy meal on a busy day. I made this soup thick enough with vegetables and meat, so I can add tomato juice and it will make twice the amount when I open a quart.

Kevin, age 7, told me he really loves that soup. One day when he came home from school, he asked me if he could heat up some of that really good soup in jars.

A year ago we put up solar panels to run a freezer from the sunlight with back-up batteries.

We are still glad we invested in that. Since then we have not paid anything for running the freezer.

All winter it has charged really well except for maybe one or two days when the battery light has shown low.

After a few days of having a break from the beef, we will dress two hogs tomorrow night. Plans are to cut up the pork on Saturday. The lard will

be rendered and the meat will be cooked from the bones in the big black kettle outside.

We will also make our pon hoss in one of the big black kettles. I don’t think we will make liver pudding this year.

Joe is the only one that eats it around here and I still have some canned from other years.

It will be so good to have sausage again. We have been out of sausage in the freezer. I still have some canned, but for sausage gravy we like it fresh or from the freezer.

Spring is almost here which we will look forward to. I am glad it stayed cold so far, as it makes it easier to get the meat done. It would have been nice to get the beef and pork done earlier this year, but moneywise it was not possible.

Tonight we will attend the 8th grade portfolio presentation which includes daughter Verena, 15 and niece Emma, 15.

The eighth graders are preparing a dinner for all of their families tonight.

Verena mentioned that some of the things on the menu are mashed potatoes, gravy, dressing and turkey. This will be the second night this week that we did not have to prepare supper.

Tuesday evening we attended family fun night at the school. A lot of activities were going on, but the highlight of the night was the wildlife presentation. The children could see and touch insects from the rainforest in Africa.

The scariest thing there as a python snake. Lovina, age 8,

does not take after me as she petted the snake while I went as far away from it as possible.

We enjoyed pizza, chips, and punch in the cafeteria furnished by the school.

Monday we take daughter Loretta, 12, to the children’s hospital to have some heart tests done. I have been taking son Kevin, 7, to therapy twice a week. As much as we would like to deny the symptoms he has also been diagnosed with muscular dystrophy.

With God’s help we want to accept this as his plan for us.

Prayers are greatly appreciated.

May God bless each of you richly.

In My Opinion

Sitting on the board I was amazed to find out how many groups and organizations there are in Paulding County and how many are ran by a group of board members. In fact, there is a list of organizations in a public online report, which includes schools, churches, hospitals, mental health facilities, senior centers, health departments, nonprofit groups and many more entities where decisions are made by a board.

Sometimes a board of directors will have as many as 12 members or as few as three. Some board members are elected and get paid but the majority give of themselves and are volunteers.

If you are sitting on any type of a board, you must take the position very seriously and be familiar with group policies.

An efficient board values Nancy teamwork and will only be effective by working toWhitaker gether. The goal of any group should be to achieve the organization’s objectives by utilizing board intelligence and expertise through teamwork.

Lack of teamwork on a board will lead to hurt feelings, frustration, lack of accomplishment and even the failure of an organization.

Nobody should not have to act as a referee on any board. If disagreements arise, members should be objective and look at the whole picture.

In my own personal experience, I have observed the same people sitting on many different boards. This always makes me wonder, “Why are they involved in so many organizations and are they sitting there to help with decision making or do they just want to say, “I am on the board”?

Sometimes a person will assume leadership of a board, make every single decision and if there are lackadaisical members who are simply there for a feather in their cap, it is hard to tell what type of decisions will be made and approved.

True, there are leaders and followers in any group or organization, but an outstanding board will constantly keep evaluating themselves try to improve. They will tend to seek outside expertise and educate themselves to have the best practices and behaviors.

There are some board members and directors who will shoot down an idea simply because, it isn’t theirs or they just do not want to see a positive change. We hear a lot of, “Oh, that will not work,” “That’s not my job” and even, “Well, I don’t care, I am just biding my time.”

I personally have covered meetings where there have been board members sleeping, those who have big mouths and never keep quiet, and those with big egos who try and run everything. Needless to say, these are the kinds of meetings in which nothing much ever gets accomplished and are robotic in nature. A lot of board members leave meetings without a clue of what took place.

There are numerous board meetings every day, each week and every month. If you feel it is important to sit on a board and you are passionate about it, step forward and let your thoughts be known. Anyone can sit and be a talking head, but it takes a willingness to listen, an open mind to believe and hands to work. A board of trustees, directors, or volunteers will only be effective if they work together as a team. To accomplish anything as a board or a group, there is no room for “I”, there should only be “We.” Nancy Whitaker is a staff writer for the Paulding County Progress.

Community The passion of the Christ in nature As Easter nears, I’m reminded of its parallels in nature. It’s not a far stretch to try and apply the miracle of Easter to the natural world around us. After all, if you believe the way I do, God has His hand in all of it.

Over the years, believers have assigned religious legends to plants and several have persisted to this day.

I’m not a psychologist or a philosopher, so I won’t presume to know why human beings do this, but it’s a common thread in nearly all civilizations. Let’s look at some of them, as they relate to the Christian celebration of Easter.

When you think of Easter plants, what comes to mind?

Easter lilies are likely to be the first thing you think of, but this flower is one of the newer traditions, compared to most. Its white color signifies the purity of God and the trumpet shape is said to represent the proclamation of Christ’s resurrection.

Though lilies are mentioned in several places in the Bible, what we now know as the Easter lily (Lilium longiflorum) is native to the Ryukyu Islands, south of Japan. Cultivated later in Bermuda and now in the U.S., Oregon produces 95% of the world’s Easter lily bulbs for potted production.

Prior to it being grown in

In The Garden

By Kylee Baumle the U.S., the Easter lily was marketed as a cut flower. In the 1940s, a system of cultivation was developed that allowed growers to manipulate the time of blooming, and it was during this time that the lilies rose in popularity as a potted Easter flower.

It’s now the fourth largest potted plant crop in the U.S. (behind poinsettias, mums, and azaleas), with the top four states for growing them (as potted plants) being Michigan, California, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. That’s pretty amazing, considering the marketable holiday sales window for them is just two weeks long.

Other plants and flowers with Easter significance include the dogwood tree, upon whose petals are markings said to represent Christ’s wounds on the cross; lily-ofthe-valley, whose cascading groups of blooms signify the

By JOE SHOUSE Correspondent ANTWERP – The Antwerp School Board met in regular session on Tuesday, March 19. Financial concerns, staff reports, and three resignations were received during their session. The consent to forward a resolution to the Ohio General Assembly and to Governor John Kasich rejecting the passing of House Bill 59 was also given.

Superintendent Pat Ross spent several minutes sharing what the potential outcome will be with the passing of House Bill 59. Currently the state funding received is $3,076,372 which is approximately $5,000 per student. The Antwerp enrollment is 611 students. The new proposal under HB 59 would decrease the amount to $3,051.282.

“The new proposal would be 3 percent less per student and would force us to operate on the amounts we received in 2009,” said Ross.

The board approved a resolution spelling out their objection of providing private or parochial school tuition vouchers based on family income or class work performance that leads to a belowaverage grade. The resolution expresses opposition to any legislation that seeks to transfer public dollars to support private education.

In her report, Ross also shared information about the upcoming waiver day and future bus routes. Waiver day will be held on Wednesday, March 27 and will focus on school safety and training for lockdown situations. The training will include school staff as well as local, county and state police officials.

Preliminary bus routes for the 2013-14 school year are being laid out and considered.

“At this point we are simply laying out the potential routes in order to come up with the best plan for the coming school year,” said Ross.

One final item was the change of meeting time for June. It was agreed to move the June school board meeting to Thursday, June 27.

The board approved the resignations of district technology director Cathy Barnett, Hal Kemerer, and head basketball coach Scott McMichael.

Barnett spent 20 years in the Antwerp school

system while Kemerer gave 31 years of service.

McMichael resigns after 13 successful years at the helm.

Middle/high school principal Michael Bute shared with the board several items of interest, including: • The addition of one additional AP class, giving Antwerp a total of six.

• The middle school is one of 161 schools in the state to receive the School of Promise recognition. The special award is given to schools that are achieving at all levels with students.

• Spring break will be March 28-April 1.

• Senior trip is scheduled for March 27-29.

• Forty-one units of blood were donated at the recent Red Cross blood draw.

Travis Lichty, Antwerp Elementary principal, shared the following: • Grades one and two have completed Iowa Assessment testing using both the traditional paper and pencil format as well as online testing.

• Kindergarten registration and screening was held on March 25-26 with 43 registered.

• Preschool enrollment will begin in April.

• Kentucky Shakespeare will be at the school on April 4 to present a modern version of Shakespeare to the students.

Treasurer Kristine Stuart gave a overall review. The financial summary showed receipts in the amount of $943,013.88 with expenses totaling $515,592.22. All financial reports were accepted.

The Vantage board report was given by board member Dennis Recker. The all-boards meeting is scheduled for April 4.

The board gave consent to the following items: • Approved the eighth grade trip to Washington, D.C. from April 8-13.

• Approved Rose Reinhart as assistant musical director.

• Michael Knight was approved as a substitute bus drive retroactive to March 4.

• Approved the Class of 2013 students for graduating, pending they meet all local and state graduation requirements.

falling tears of Jesus’ mother, Mary; and the passion flower, with each part of its bloom correlating to some aspect of the crucifixion.

Sitting in a sunny window of my house right now is a plant commonly known as Crown of Thorns (Euphorbia milii). Like the other plants mentioned, this one is not native to the Middle East, yet it gets its common name from its extremely prickly stems that are said to be like what Christ wore on his head as he hung on the cross.

The actual Crown of Thorns is thought to have been fashioned from the branches of the jujube tree (Ziziphus jujube), which has an abundance of both straight and curved thorns along its branches. Valuable as both a shade tree and for its edible fruit, the jujube tree is also known as Chinese date.

While it’s interesting to note these plants that signify the death of Jesus and the miracle of his resurrection, as a gardener I see miracles every day.

How will your garden (or crops) grow? Soil testing can tell you

A Penny For Your Thoughts....

By: Nancy Whitaker

ONE A PENNY TWO A PENNY One of the big treats at Easter time is all the different kinds of Easter candy. Some of them have been around for years and we never grow tired of them.

When my own kids were growing up, we used to wait until they were asleep and make up their Easter baskets and hide them. Those were the days.

Actually, we hid them someplace in the house and when the kids got up on Easter morning, they would search for their baskets of goodies.

I still remember some of our favorite places to hide their Easter baskets. One of the places was inside the clothes dryer. Once they discovered that was one of the hiding spots, they would look there first.

Other hiding places included: cupboards, behind furniture, under beds and sometimes even outside in the car.

One day, many years ago, a little four year old girl was not getting her way and was throwing a slight temper tantrum. It was close to Easter and the little girl knew that the Easter bunny would come on Easter if she was very good and behaved herself.

As she was crying, her mama came up and said to her,

“The Easter bunny is watching you.”

The little girl was skeptical, but through her tears said, “Where is he?”

Lo and behold there was a brown rabbit in the yard and the little girl immediately stopped crying. Although she wasn’t good every day of her life, she made sure she behaved at Easter time. I know, because that little girl was me! And I have always been in love with candy.

However, being one that loves not only candy, but all sweets, I was surprised to find out that Easter treats started way back in the 1300’s in Europe with the tradition of Hot Cross Buns. Do you remember the old tune, “Hot Cross Buns?”

Hot Cross Buns became the traditional breakfast of Good Friday and became a Christian tradition as well. In the years that followed, many customs, traditions, superstitions, and claims of healing and protection from evil were associated with the buns. The popularity of Hot Cross buns continued and became the “Marshmallow Peeps” of their time.

Easter is now the second top-selling candy holiday, just behind Halloween. Americans spend an average $1.9 billion on Easter candy every year.

The days are longer, the sun

is brighter, the colors are rich and the candies are pastel. It’s springtime for many parts of the world and to celebrate we enter into the saccharin world filled with Marshmallow Peeps, Jelly Beans, and other well packaged bits of sweetness sure to bring about a sugar-induced coma.

Of course, America’s favorite are those cute marshmallow peeps. This Easter an estimated 700 million Marshmallow Peeps will be consumed.

Did you know that there are people who are Peep fanatics?

There are now websites for Peeps and even an inventive online movie called, “Lord of the Peeps?”

I recently ran across a picture of a cake decorated with Bunny Peeps. The cake was a regular cake with frosting, but various colors of the rabbit Peeps were stood up along the outside of the round cake. The top of the cake was decorated with pastel M&M’s.

Another idea to try is Peep S’mores. What an idea! I am thinking about trying both of these treats for Easter.

What is your favorite kind of Easter candy? Have you ever made or tasted Hot Cross buns? Have you ever seen The Easter Bunny? Let me know and I’ll Give You a Penny for Your Thoughts.

Payne Council agrees to tag illegally parked vehicles JOE SHOUSE Correspondent PAYNE – The Payne Village Council agreed to one warning and then a ticket will be awarded to owners of illegally parked vehicles. Fire Chief Jamie Mansfield has placed in effect a hiring freeze, the garbage contract will be awarded in April, and the spring clean up estimate was determined at their meeting held on Monday evening.

Council gave the go ahead for Police Chief Rodney Miller to begin handing out warning tickets for vehicles illegally parked or for junk vehicles that have not been moved. With consensus from the council, Mayor Terry Smith told the chief, “Start handing out warnings and follow up with a ticket if they do not comply.”

With 25 fire personnel and 15 EMTs, Mansfield also announced a hiring freeze for his department. In the meantime, the department will continue to receive applications and resumés for future reference.

Mansfield informed the council their request for FEMA funds to purchase a new ambulance was turned down.

Chief Mansfield reported that following a response to a call to Paulding, one of the fire hoses was damaged and needed to be replaced. Mansfield said his department had received total reimbursement for the damage and a new hose has been purchased.

EMS assistant coordinator

Joe Garmyn informed council that Duane Price had passed all the necessary tests and is qualified to join the department. The board unanimously passed the motion to accept Price a few months ago pending him passing the requirements. Price is now qualified as a member of both the EMS and fire department.

Council will begin receiving bids for the garbage contract at the end of March with the award being made at the April 22 meeting.

The spring clean-up date will be set at the next meeting on April 8; however, council did approve the estimated cost from Eric Recycling for $2,362 for the clean-up event.

In the event the U-post bar-

riers are damaged in the future by semi trucks and other oversized vehicles, council agreed by consensus there will be a $300 restitution to be paid by the party causing the damage.

A resolution was unanimously passed to realign the permanent appropriations from one account line item to another within the fund to include the water, sewer, street and fire departments.

In a brief ceremony prior to the council meeting, Mayor Smith honored Lorean McCollum for her 50 years of service to the village as board of public affairs clerk.

The next meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Monday, April 8.

By Jim Lopshire OSU Extension educator Soil testing is an excellent measure of soil fertility. With a representative soil sample and an accurate soil test, sound fertilizer recommendations can help gardeners and growers improve plant quality and productivity.

Soil testing takes the guesswork out of fertilization and is extremely cost effective. It not only eliminates the waste of money spent on unnecessary fertilizers, but also eliminates over-usage of fertilizers, hence protecting the environment.

Soil fertility fluctuates throughout the growing season each year. The quantity and availability of mineral nutrients are altered by the addition of fertilizers, manure, compost, mulch and lime or sulfur, in addition to leaching. Furthermore, mineral nutrients are removed from soils as a result of plant growth and development, and the harvesting of crops.

A soil test will determine the current fertility status of the soil and provide the necessary information needed to

Blue and green do match

Some of the fondest memories from childhood are centered around my father after he purchased an Argus C-3 35mm camera.

To make things even better, I was given a Brownie Starflash camera for my birthday that year. In my estimation, we made the perfect team of capturing the blended colors of nature on film.

Dad always liked matching colors in various natural settings. We took a day trip to Brown County to capture the circus-like beauty of nature’s quilt spread over the southern Indiana hillsides.

That was the year that we learned to capture winter scenes, Christmas settings, and the many colors of spring flowers as they emerged once again on the earth.

Perhaps some of the most profound life lessons came the next summer when our family vacationed at one of my parents’ favorite spots, Rocky Mountain National Park near Denver.

Soil pH is one of the most indicative measurements of a soil test. The effect of soil pH is great on the solubility of minerals or nutrients. Before a nutrient can be used by plants, it must be dissolved in the soil solution. Most minerals and nutrients are more soluble or available in acid soils than in neutral or slightly alkaline soils.

Some plants grow well over a wide range of soil pH, while others grow best within a narrow pH range. Most turf grasses, flowers, ornamental shrubs, vegetables, and fruits grow best in slightly acid soils, which represent a pH of 6.1 to

6.9. Plants such as rhododendron, azalea, mountain laurel, and blueberries require a more acidic soil to grow well. A soil test is the only precise way to determine whether the soil is acidic, neutral or alkaline.

Soil samples can be taken in the spring or fall for established sites. For new sites, soil samples can be taken anytime when the soil is workable. Autumn can also be a good time to take soil tests if one suspects a soil pH problem and wants to avoid the spring rush.

Fall soil testing will allow you ample time to apply lime to raise the soil pH. Sulfur should be applied in the spring if the soil pH needs to be lowered.

Gardeners, homeowners, landscapers, growers, farmers, and all other interested parties should contact their local OSU Extension office to find out the scope of services in each county, if they have questions about soil testing.

HOMESPUN

By JIM LANGHAM “Look at that green against the deep blue sky. Have you ever seen anything more beautiful?

Don’t tell me that blue and green don’t go together. If they go together in God’s eyes, they certain go together in my eyes,” he said.

During that time, I began to realize that color was a real gift that was very personalized.

Whether it was different colored leaves, flowers, natural scenes, or people, matching color was one of God’s favorite activities.

He did it in gardens, he did it at fall, and he loved creating different colored people so that the human race would be a beautiful blend of his total creation.

In the mixing of colors and their expression in nature, it is easy to see that God is such a person of diversity, differentcolored flowers, human race, plants, animals, anything out

there is a testimony to God’s love of diversity and grace.

Recently, I read a devotional based on I Peter 4:10, “As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.” The author emphasized what I had read several places before; the word, manifold in this text, actually means “manycolored.” God’s grace is many colored, geared to be adapted to the need of the hour.

If life is blue, His grace is blue; if it is, green, his grace is green. In other words if we need grace for illness, it is colored just for that; if the need is wisdom for a needed confrontation, His grace will be colored for that moment.

It is the season of springtime (well, on the calendar, anyway) and it will soon be a time to take drives taking pictures of brilliant spring flowers. Each time we see a colored flower these days, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to remember His many-colored grace, how each period of life is well-seasoned for a reason, to reveal a color of God we have never seen before, and while looking at things through the lens of a camera is exciting, surely nothing is more exciting than realizing how God must see things through the eyes of His creative being.

By Jim Daly QUESTION: Our son won’t do his homework! He’s smart and capable; he’d just rather play or watch TV. I don’t want to see him fall behind in school, so I have to monitor him at every step.

What can I do?

JIM: It’s hard to say for certain without knowing all the details (such as his age), but this sounds like it might be an opportune time for what Dr. Kevin Leman calls “reality discipline.”

This method is less exhausting and more successful than ranting, raving, blaming, pleading, begging or threatening. It helps children learn to think for themselves and to become more responsible through guidance and actionoriented techniques.

Dr. Leman says, “Action-oriented discipline is based on the reality that there are times when you have to pull the rug out and let the little buzzards tumble. I mean disciplining your children in such a way that he/she accepts responsibility and learns accountability for his actions.”

When it comes to your son and his homework, we’d suggest that you stop “monitoring him at every step.” Let him see what happens when he turns in an assignment late, or fails to turn it in at all. He needs to discover that his actions, or in this case, inactions, have consequences. And he needs to understand that you will not always bail him out when he

fails to take responsibility.

Your desire to see him not fall behind in school is admirable, but again, you’re not doing him any favors by making his homework your burden. A few missed assignments will not doom him for life. In fact, they very well may be just the motivation he needs to start doing his homework.

QUESTION: Our daughter is out of control with her lying.

It isn’t just big things; she lies about everything. We have taken privileges away and disciplined her and nothing seems to help. Why does she do this? And is there something we can do to help her understand the deceit behind the lying?

LEON WIRTH, executive director of Parenting and Youth: Virtually every child lies at some point, but some seem to make an art out of it. We’re sorry for the stress this has placed on your family.

First, it’s important to note that preschool-age children do not fully comprehend the difference between lies and the truth.

Parents with young kids need to be sure they understand this difference before lowering the boom.

It sounds like your daughter is old enough to know what she’s doing, however. The question you need to ask is, “Why?” Is she lying to avoid unpleasant consequences or to gain an advantage of some sort? Or is she using lying as a means of get-

ting your attention? Dishonesty is never justified, but sit down with her and see if you can ascertain what might be at the root of her behavior. Make sure she understands that it’s important for her to always tell you the truth, even when it hurts her to do so.

You mentioned that taking privileges away hasn’t helped.

But maybe you just need to find out what’s important to her.

There’s no value in barring her from the TV if she’s not really that invested in watching TV. When determining consequences for misbehavior, it’s important to identify those things that will truly motivate a child to do better.

Finally, be aware of the example you’re setting in this regard. The best way to teach honesty is to be honest. If you find yourself taking liberties with the truth, you’ll have little authority in preventing your daughter from doing the same.

High school three-on-three winners at Antwerp were seniors Andy Coleman, Lydia Yenser and The winning middle school Hoops for Heart team was comprised of eighth graders Brandon Braeden Hormann.

Pendergrast, Hunter Noel and Mike Taylor.

Antwerp students raise $3,700 for Hoops for Heart ANTWERP – Antwerp middle and high school students participated in the annual Hoops for Heart competition on Wednesday, March 20.

Students must donate at least $10 to the American Heart Association to participate in the day’s

events, which included a middle and high school three-on-three, free throw, and three-point competitions.

The winners of the high school three-on-three were seniors Andy Coleman, Lydia Yenser and Braeden Hormann. The winning mid-

dle school team consisted of eighth graders Brandon Pendergrast, Hunter Noel and Mike Taylor.

Seventh grader Brandon Laney and freshman Jeff Coleman won the three-point contests, while seventh grader Dylan Peters and jun-

ior Derek Smalley won the freethrow contests.

The top money collectors for the day were senior Katie Bissell and seventh grader Cody Eblin.

Overall, Antwerp students raised over $3,700 this year for the American Heart Association, making the

total over the last 16 years over $50,000.

The marketing director of the American Heart Association paid Antwerp Middle/High School a special visit on Wednesday because the school has raised so much money for the cause over the years.

Paulding Middle School’s Science Olympiad team won its regional tournament. Team members include Tori Bradford, Alli Harpel, Taylor Manz, Matthew Martinez, Victoria Meadows, Megan Reineck, Jordan Shull, Christine Clapsaddle, Daleigh Davis, Aaron Horstman, Estee Miller, Dayton Pracht, Wyatt Miller, Brian Matson, Charles Clapsaddle and Ethan Matty.

Without their support, this race wouldn’t have been possible.

Physician earns obesity medicine certification PAULDING – Mahtab Ahmed, MD, Paulding County Hospital, recently passed the American Board of Obesity Medicine (ABOM) Certification Exam for obesity medicine physicians and became certified in the subspecialty of obesity medicine.

Physicians certified in obesity medicine are able to positively impact all systems of the body by incorporating weight management into traditional models of medical practice. Specifically, this subspecialty requires competency in and a thorough understanding of the treatment of obesity and the genetic, biologic, environmental, social and behavioral factors that contribute to obesity.

Dr. Ahmed was among only 191 physicians nationally who successfully completed this year’s exam.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than one-third of U.S. adults and 17 percent of U.S. children and adolescents are obese. Obesity-related conditions include heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer. In 2008, medical costs associated with obesity were

DR. MAHTAB AHMED estimated at $147 billion.

Supervision from a health care provider is necessary to detect and treat weight-related medical conditions. A health care program supervised by a physician who is certified in obesity medicine offers a comprehensive and effective approach to maximizing overall health and reversing obesity-related co-morbidities.

“In our own county, the prevalence of adult obesity is 34 percent, according to the Paulding County Health Assessment, a health survey performed in 2011,” said Dr. Ahmed. “I am interested in being part of the solution to this medical epidemic by lo-

cally helping patients affected by obesity who seek access to safe evidence-based medical treatment options.”

Patients and their health care providers need a variety of options for obesity treatments, since no single treatment approach will work for every individual. The American Society of Bariatric Physicians provides guidance to its members through a set of obesity medicine guidelines, which outline four medical weight-loss methods: dietary modification, exercise prescription, behavior modification and, when appropriate, medication.

Dr. Ahmed has been a board-certified family practice physician at Paulding County Hospital since 2007.

His practice has recently relocated to the Paulding Medical Center, which is located in a separate building at the west end of the hospital campus.

He decided to become board certified in obesity medicine to help his patients and other interested patients in dealing with obesity and the health problems that are related to obesity.

To find out more about his program, please call his office at 419-399-1574.

Lafarge’s Paulding plant earns API well cement product license CHICAGO – Lafarge North America announced March 21 that its Paulding cement plant has been granted a license by the American Petroleum Institute (API; www.api.org) to monogram conforming well cement products manufactured at the plant.

API’s Monogram Program provides assurance through robust certification processes that manufacturers of equipment and materials meet the requirements for manufacturing quality. Such API programs have provided a technical foundation to the oil and gas industry since 1924.

“With this announcement, Lafarge reinforces its commit-

ment to serve the oil and gas industry in Ohio and beyond,” said John Stull, Lafarge U.S. CEO. “The announcement is also important for the local communities, as high quality well cements contribute to the responsible development of natural resources, which in turn supports economic growth.”

Cement products bearing the API Monogram will be targeted for use by customers in well cementing applications. Such applications play a fundamental role in oil and gas industry standards of well completion practices, which help protect the environment and communities around wells.

This latest API Monogram

further positions Lafarge as a leading manufacturer and supplier of quality materials to the oil and gas industry. With the Paulding announcement, Lafarge now has three plants in the United States with a license from API; the remaining two production facilities are Joppa, Ill. and Whitehall, Pa. The Paulding facility, which has been producing materials for the construction industry since 1956, will support rapidly growing demand for API monogrammed products in Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Lafarge’s extensive network will continue to supply oil and gas markets throughout North America.

County residents benefit from first Timber Road II payment

By JIM LANGHAM Feature Writer Much of the Paulding County population is going to benefit in one way or another from the first payment to the county from the Benton Township EDP Renewable Timber Road II Wind Farm. The first payment, which reflects the first half of 2012, is $449,212.50 and is the result of the entire county having entered into an Alternative Energy Zone agreement.

“When the wind energy companies first prepared to develop in our county, we were at a loss for a tax rate that was comparable to surrounding states,” said County Commissioner Tony Zartman. “Of course, they wanted to enter into an agreement with us concerning an enterprise zone (tax abatement).

“We had a lot of discussion about what would be a fair tax abatement for them. Our main concern was the schools,” continued Zartman. “We didn’t want to do anything that would reduce their state funding.”

Zartman said that the Paulding County commissioners worked with state legislators to develop Senate Bill 232 in order to get the maximum rate per megawatt to be established.

This bill stated that any payment would be considered new revenue and would not affect state charges to the schools.

“Our goal was not to help the state but to help ourselves locally,” said Zartman.

children’s success.

Dear Friends of the Paulding Exempted Village Schools, I am pleased to report that the Paulding Board of Education has selected a new superintendent to lead the Paulding School District for the 2013 – 2014 school year. Recently the Board hired Mr. William Hanak as Superintendent of Schools effective August 1, 2013. Mr. Hanak will transition into his new position over the summer and will be here full time beginning in August. Mr. Hanak is currently the High School Principal at Wauseon High School and will finish out this school year in that position. Please join me in welcoming him to the Paulding community.

The Ohio Department of Education has now approved an additional waiver day for Paulding Schools on Wednesday, April 3, 2013 to be used for safety planning in all buildings. All Paulding staff and administrators will be working on updating their building safety plans that day with the help of local law enforcement. All students are excused for the day.

Family financial situations may change throughout the school year. Please be aware that students may apply for Free or Reduced lunches at any time during the school year. I encourage families who have a change in their income to apply or re-apply for these benefits by picking up an application in any of our building offices, calling the building secretary to have an application mailed to your home, or downloading the form from our website under Parent Links. Also, please take advantage of your online account for checking lunch account balances. If you do not know how to access this account, contact our office at 419-399-4656, ext. 1512.

We are very proud of the academic and extracurricular achievements of our students, and the many outstanding staff members who work with these students on a daily basis. As always, I invite you to become an active part of our school district and to get involved in the lives of our young people by attending as many of the student activities as your schedule allows. Please feel free to visit me at my office in the Paulding Administration office, call me at 419-399-4656 or e-mail me at j_basinger@pauldingschools.org at your convenience if you have any questions about our school district or anything in this community newsletter.

I appreciate all you parents who continue to encourage these positive attitudes. We need to finish the year strong, so we need continued parental support.

We held our Kindergarten Round Up March 26 and had a beautiful group of future Kindergarteners come through. If you were unable to attend, we missed you and need you to please contact the school office for a screening appointment. Kindergarten screening is scheduled for April 17 and April 18. If you know of any child entering Kindergarten please inform them to contact Paulding Elementary at 419-399-4656. The office secretary will schedule a time for you. This screening is important for your child so we can prepare to serve them when they come to school next year.

The Ohio Achievement Assessments are the beginning of your child’s testing career.

They are very important and will take place April 25, April 30 and May 2. Teachers have been working with your children to ensure they have the skills needed to be successful.

Please make sure your children have excellent attendance throughout the end of the school year. Keeping a routine where homework is completed, consistent sleep hours are set, and a healthy breakfast is provided is essential to your child’s success. Drinking plenty of water is great for the brain! Thank you for encouraging your children to put forth their best effort.

Upcoming dates: Spring Break is March 29th through April 2nd, Waiver Day is April 3rd, PAWS incentive is April 5th, Battle of the Books is April 11th, Kindergarten Screening is April 17th and 18th, and the last day of After School Program is April 18th. As we enjoy the changing of the seasons to Spring,

Oakwood Elementary-Jennifer Manz Hello from Oakwood Elementary on a sunny, but cold and windy, day! It looks like winter is determined to stay for all of its allotted days. While it seems like just yesterday I was writing my beginning of the year article, it is already time for me to put together comments about the final quarter of the 20122013 school year. It reminds me of Kenny Chesney’s song, “Don’t Blink”!

For grades 2-6, the month of April is a month full of review as we make our final preparations for the Ohio Achievement Assessments and the Terra Nova Assessments which will be given on April 25 and 30 and May 1 and 2. As you may know, all students in grades 3 -6 in the State of Ohio take a reading and math assessment; 5th graders also take a science assessment. Terra Nova Assessments will be given to students in grades 2-6. If you have not already done so, please mark the weeks of April 22-26 and April 29-May 3 on your calendar. It will be very important for your child to be at school, to have plenty of sleep, to eat a good breakfast, and to receive tons of your support and encouragement during the State Testing week. Please encourage your children to continue to give their very best effort through the final quarter of the school year, finishing on a strong, positive note.

April 19th is the date of Oakwood Elementary’s 2013-2014 Kindergarten Screening. If you have, or know a child living in the Oakwood school area who will be five before August 1, 2013, please call and set up a screening and registration appointment (419594-3346). We look forward to meeting many new students on April 19th!

We have a very special evening coming up on Thursday, April 11! We invite all neighbors, friends, family and supporters of Oakwood Elementary to join us for “Learning Is An Art” from 6:30 to 8:00.

This special evening is an opportunity for us to showcase some of the really wonderful things going on in our building. Please plan to come tour Oakwood Elementary and enjoy special events taking place – SMARTBoard lessons, a science fair, project displays, educational games, live musical performances, and much more. We hope you will be able to join us as we share our students’ successes!

The Oakwood Elementary PTO is hosting two events in April, and everyone is welcome. Their annual PTO Carnival is scheduled for Saturday, April 6th, from 4:30 to 7:00 – there will be many games for children of all ages to enjoy, a number of raffle items which will peak the interest of adults, and plenty of food. The second event they are organizing is a Mom-to-Mom sale on Saturday, April 20th, from 9:00 to 1:00. For more details about this event, please give us a call. **We really appreciate the special “extra things” our PTO provides for our students and staff. They are the best!

Middle School-David Stallkamp Our school sent many students to the District Science Day at Ohio Northern University on Saturday, March 23rd. Congratulations to all that participated. I will get the top finishers posted in the next newsletter.

Our spring sports are up and running. We have many, many kids out for track, baseball, and softball. THANK YOU to all that have chosen to become involved in all extra-curricular activities. Please come out and support our kids in action. Look for schedules on the school website.

The school year is winding down VERY FAST. Please encourage your child to continue performing well in school. It doesn’t take many failing grades to pull down a year’s worth of hard work. We all have spring fever, but we must also accept the responsibilities that we all have, to do our job here.

Finally, I cannot say enough about needing your help and support for the upcoming State of Ohio Achievement Assessment tests. Kids always think these tests are not important and don’t mean anything. This is just not true. We get a lot of important information from these tests and they stay in the student’s permanent file for life. PLEASE stress to your child just how important it is that they give these tests their best effort.

The testing schedule is as follows: 6th-8th grade READING — April 25 6th-8th grade MATH — April 30 8th grade SCIENCE — May 2 6th and 7th grade SCIENCE Terra Nova – May 2 6th-8th grade SOCIAL STUDIES Terra Nova – May 1

6 grade MATH Terra Nova – May 3 Please make sure to try and schedule appointments, vacations, etc. away from these dates so that your child is here to take the test on the scheduled date. Also, please see that they get a good night’s sleep and a good breakfast on these dates. This will help the kids perform at their utmost potential.

Monday, May 13, 2013, will be a Day Off Of School for any student that passed all areas on the 2012 Ohio Achievement Tests.

Permission forms will be coming home for those students eligible to receive this incentive reward. School will operate as normal that day for those not eligible for this reward.

There are two 8th grade class trips coming up.

The first will be for any 8th grader that wishes to go to Springfield, Illinois. That trip will be May 8 through 10, 2013, and will be at their own expense. The second trip is open to all 8th graders wishing to go to Cedar Point. This trip is scheduled for Tuesday, June 4th, 2013. Cost per student will be $25.

May 16th will be our annual Award’s Day ceremony in the HS gym beginning at 12:00 noon. Invitations will be sent out to the parents of those students receiving an award that afternoon.

8th Grade Graduation is scheduled for May 21, 2013, at 1:00 PM in the high school gym.

If we must use any make up dates for school, this graduation will always be the last day of school.

Again, I thank you for your continued support of Paulding Middle School. Please do not hesitate to contact me at the school if I can be of any further assistance.

High School-Todd Harmon Once again I would like to thank all the teachers, aides, parents, and students for doing their part in completing another year of State testing. The process went very smoothly and the attendance each day was great. I am confident the students' performance will show positive results and get students closer to graduating.

Thanks to all the students and staff that participated in our winter extra-curricular activities. Your efforts and commitments will continue to help improve our programs.

A big thank you and congratulations to Beth Kelly and Sandy Dobbelaere for a terrific job working with the students who put on the Monty Python musical ‘Spamalot’. Many hours of practice go into making a performance like this. The students did a wonderful job!

There is still time to purchase tickets to the Band Booster's "Music of the Night" to be held on April 13 at 6:30 p.m. This is an evening of live music performed by our band members, while being served a delicious meal. A silent auction will be held throughout the evening also, which is intended to raise funds for the band program.

The FFA banquet will be April 20th in the Auditeria. This is a very well produced program that recognizes students involved in the FFA and their achievements through the year.

As we move closer to May and time for Prom (May 4th), a reminder goes out to students and parents about school fees. Students will not be allowed to participate in prom activities if all fees are not paid by May 2nd. Seniors who do not have all fees paid will not be permitted to participate in the graduation ceremony or receive their diploma. We want to see students have a positive end of the school year, so please help in the fee paying process. As Spring and good weather come around the corner this last nine weeks, it is important to finish the school year strong as grades can make students ineligible for fall sports and extra-curricular activities if they are not passing. Please do not hesitate to call the high school office if you have any questions.

GUIDANCE OFFICE Many scholarships will be available during the month of April. Students should check the school website for more information, including deadlines. The deadline to register for the June 8th ACT is Friday May 3rd. Senior Awards program is May 14th at 7pm.

PAULDING ATHLETIC BOOSTERS The Athletic Boosters will be selling 201314 ‘300 Club’ tickets ($25) from April 1June 30 as well as Maroon and White Club memberships ($10).

food, fun, silent auction and prizes. ‘Music of the Night’ will be April 13th in the Auditeria, with doors opening at 6:30 with the meal being served at 7:00 p.m. Entertainment will be provided by the High School and Middle School bands. Tickets are $16.

PUBLIC NOTICE The school district has received federal IDEA-B funds for special education services. Public comment is encouraged and information is available. Contact Tillman Karl, Director of Special Education.

Senior Spotlight

For Colin Krick, adversity has given him something to prove

By JOE SHOUSE Sportswriter All athletes, whether it is in high school, college or at the professional level, deal with winning or losing every time they take to the field, court or track. It’s all part of the game and for Antwerp senior Colin Krick he has experienced win-

ning and losing as an athlete but more importantly he has dealt with it in life.

As an eighth grader, when life should be about having friends, playing sports at the park, or thinking about going to high school, Colin was up against the worst news a kid his age could ever receive. You

see, Colin along with the rest of his family heard the word cancer – a word no family wants to hear.

Willing to talk about those dreadful days back in 2009, Colin spoke in a mature tone with the facts. “My dad [David] was sick with cancer and it hit him pretty fast. He didn’t live long after we received the word. It wasn’t long until hospice was called in and my dad lived about three months.”

And now the senior, who will soon leave the halls of Antwerp High School, has spent these last four years honoring his dad. “It’s been hard.

It really stinks. But the best way to honor his memory is to go out and do the best you can and that’s what I’ve tried to do,” said Colin.

Not knowing at the time the impact it would have on his life, Colin was invited to participate in cross country while in the seventh grade.

“I was going to play football but a friend of mine, Isaac Reinhart, influenced me to try cross country. That was really hard for me because at that time I was 5-foot-3 and overweight at about 175 pounds,” Colin said.

However, it was the influence of a friend that encouraged Colin to hang in there and pursue long distance running and today he is a changed man. As a result of the hard work and discipline, Colin, who will enter his final track and field season as an Archer, is 6-foot-2 and weighs about 145.

“My dad was the most influential person in my life. He would be so proud of me now that I’m skinny.”

As a cross country runner in the fall and a distance runner in the spring, Colin managed to sandwich between those two events a varsity season on the boy’s basketball team.

“That was my first experience as a varsity player and although I didn’t get to play much, it was a great experience. I tried to play hard and

push my teammates in practice.”

Because Colin is so dedicated to his long distance running he continued to practice throughout the basketball season. Each night after practice he could be spotted in Antwerp where he would run two miles before calling it a day.

“That was not always easy to do. After a hard basketball practice it was sometimes the last thing I would want to do, but I have discovered that it’s all about dedication. Putting the time into something allows you to receive something good in return.”

With the upcoming track season just around the corner, Krick will be this year’s team captain and he takes his responsibility as the team leader seriously.

COLIN KRICK Favorites Class: Psychology Teacher: Cord Ehrhart Sport: Cross Country Athlete: Michael Jordan Team: Notre Dame Restaurant: Olive Garden Music: Rock TV Show: Supernatural Food: Spaghetti “I want to see each team member rise to their potential. Personally, I want to get back to the regional and work at lowering my mile time to 4:20.” Last year Krick managed a top four spot in the district at Ayersville, allowing him to run in the Tiffin regional where he placed 12th with a time of 4:53.

“I ran a good time but the competition level is a step up and so advanced,” he said.

Along with a solid track season, Krick has been named to the 2011 and 2012 All-Green Meadows Conference in cross country.

An A-B student, Colin will be attending Defiance College, where he will participate in both cross country and

track. He has had opportunity to become very familiar with the campus and their sports program because his older brother, Hayden, a senior at DC, also runs cross country and track. In fact, the two brothers run the same events.

Colin has enjoyed his four years at AHS. Although he is looking forward to college, he will certainly miss the teachers who have been a huge part of his life. “It’s such a great school and the teachers are willing to help you 100 percent. They really care about you and they want you to succeed. Teacher and track coach Cord Ehrhart has been like a father to me.”

In a one-parent household, the characteristic of responsibility Colin has developed has come from his mother, Michelle, who works in Hicksville but is very active and involved in Colin and Hayden’s sports careers.

“She’s great. She makes it to everything she possibly can and when she can’t she is always quick to apologize.”

Colin plans to double major in psychology and criminal justice and would someday like to go into the federal law enforcement field and eventually become a United States marshal. “I feel like I have matured for my age and when it comes to problems I usually can solve them and handle myself in a very positive way. I’m looking forward to college and my future in the field I have chosen,” the polite senior said.

Interviewing Colin was an exceptional opportunity for this writer. I was impressed with his ability to convey his feelings with a positive outlook while appreciating his past. The disappointments and hardships he has endured have enabled him to become a young man who will succeed in whatever he seeks to do. Whether it’s on the track at Antwerp, at Defiance College, or as a U.S. marshal, Colin will do his best knowing it would make his dad proud.

Paulding Elementary first graders love to help each other by reading to and practicing vocabulary with each other. Shown reading to each other are Breydon Calvert and Alex Leal.

Paulding Elementary Fifth graders are shown studying a lesson on graphic organizers in the online program called Study Island. The concept is studied in the classroom and then students take a short assessment in the computer lab. This incorporates technology into the concepts of what they have been studying. Shown working in the computer lab with Mrs. Jan Kohart are fifth graders Ivy Riggenbach, Zoe Kochel, and Kaylie Tressler.

On Thursday, February 7th, the students at Antwerp Elementary celebrated the 100th day of school. Students in Ms. Engel’s kindergarten class and Ms. Taylor’s first grade class made a poster with 100 reasons why they love Antwerp Elementary. Pictured are the students in kindergarten and first grade and their 100 Day poster.

100 DAY Divine Mercy fifth and sixth graders are learning about capacity in math class. Each student made a "Gallon Robot" to show the relationships between the customary capacity units. The Gallon Robot's body is made of one gallon, the upper arms and lower legs are quarts, there are two pints attached to each quart, and there are two cups attached to each pint. This allows the students to relate the parts to each unit it represents.
