Manor House Progress to host annual sued for unpaid voters’ forum Oct. 11 unemployment By DENISE GEBERS Progress Staff Writer ANTWERP – Manor House Assisted Living in Antwerp is the subject of another lawsuit. This one was filed Sept. 26 by the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services’ Wauseon office. The three-page complaint, filed in Paulding County Common Pleas Court, alleges the care facility has neglected to pay its share of unemployment taxes in the sum of $19,714 plus interest. This amount represents $13,219.99 for unpaid unemployment contributions, $904.65 for unpaid forfeitures and $5,589.36 for unpaid interest. The suit alleges Ohio Jobs and Family Services was not paid in the first and second quarters of 2009; the first,
second or third quarters of 2010 nor the first quarter of 2012. Court documents say the plaintiff notified the defendant on Aug. 6 of its employer liability determination. At that time, they “failed to timely appeal the determination� and the matter became “final.� Ohio J&FS is asking the Court to make a judgment against Manor House Assisted Living in the amount mentioned plus 14 percent interest from Aug. 6. Manor House is also currently listed as a defendant in a lawsuit brought by Antwerp Holdings LLC, which owns the property. They have asked that a receiver be appointed to run the business should the Court rule in favor of their forcible entry and detainer action.

Wind farm revenue to be distributed By DENISE GEBERS Progress Staff Writer PAULDING – County commissioners are working to make the final determination of how revenues from the wind farms will be distributed. Passage of a resolution governing the matter could be signed as early as today. During Monday’s session, they met with County Auditor Claudia Fickel and County Treasurer Lou Ann Wannemacher, both of whom were concerned about county employees paid strictly out of the General Fund getting a fair shake. The pair viewed a draft of a resolution being proposed by the commissioners. It will be submitted to County Prosecutor Joe Burkard for his opinion before the document is put to a vote. Fickel also submitted preliminary figures of the distribution to the commissioners.
Burkard returned an opinion last week in response to Fickel’s request concerning the authority to distribute the revenues to be received. In a letter dated Sept. 25, he said, “Ohio Revised Code ‌ sets forth the framework for the receipt of the revenue to be generated by the wind turbines for Paulding County. “ORC ‌ provides: ‘The County Treasurer shall allocate the payment on the basis of the projects physical location.’ “No other guidance or written instructions are provided to allocate the funds. “It is my opinion that the Paulding County Board of Commissioners have (sic) the authority by resolution to determine how the revenue to be generated by the wind turbines is to be distributed‌â€? During the hour-long discussion, it was brought out that when the county originally entered the
Alternative Energy Zone agreement, that the commissioners had been told how the money should be distributed and that it was presented to everyone that way from the beginning. “At the time we agreed this would be the only fair way to (distribute the money),� said Commissioner Tony Zartman. Not all the percentages are the same. Commissioners are using current tax levies as “justification� for the percentages assigned to the entities that will benefit from the wind farm windfall. As levies are dropped or added the assigned percentages could be different. “Up until a month ago, we all were under the impression that the money had to be distributed according to a certain formula,� said Zartman. Currently, percentages for distribution were determined by comparing the ratio of existing tax millage
in a taxing district to its total millage. “This new money for operating will be reviewed annually and could change. It is fluid,� said Zartman. “It has the ability to change every year.� According to Wannemacher, bills for the Payment in Lieu of Tax (PILOT) and service payments will be going out to the wind farm in December. These bills, payable in 2013, will go to Paulding County Timber Road II wind farm in Benton Township. There are 55 turbines on that “farm.� The county’s General Fund will be receiving a $2,000 service payment per megawatt per tower for an estimated total of $199,650. Additionally, the company’s PILOT payment will total around $698,775. This total is the amount to be distributed. Entities to receive money are those receiving tax millage within the taxing district where the turbines are located and are not
directly operated by the county government. Fewer than ten entities are on the short list, according to Zartman. Among those on it are the township, Paulding County Hospital, Paulding County Carnegie Library, Wayne Trace Local School District, Vantage Career Center and Paulding County Board of Developmental Disabilities. Local officials are taking great care in this matter due to the fact that Paulding County is the first in Ohio to deal with wind farms and their related issues. Actions here will set precedent for the state; and other counties call on a regular basis for advice on how to handle situations that arise. A second wind farm, owned by Iberdrola, has 38 turbines and will be billed beginning in 2014. Figures for those payments are not yet determined.

Paulding house #6 on demolition list By BILL SHERRY Correspondent PAULDING – Paulding Village Council discussed status of a grant program for demolition during its regular meeting on Oct. 1 Village administrator Harry Wiebe advised council that countywide, there had been 15 requests for residential house demolitions using monies available from the “Moving Ohio Forward� Residential Housing Demolition Program. The Paulding County commissioners had ranked the requests for demolition from 115. The house located at 414 W. Harrison St. in Paulding ranked sixth on the list. The first indications are that only the first five houses on the list would be certain of enough money for demolition. Wiebe commented that he thought there was a good possibility that there would be enough money left to demolish the Paulding house. Councilman Tom Diaz said this house has been a problem for a number of years. Council unanimously approved the administrator’s agenda, which included installing a street light at a location near 740 Emerald Road. Council President Roger Sierer questioned several sec-

The seed was planted in the hearts of Van Wert residents Gary and Jill Putman during 2009, and now fleshed out into reality by the prayers, finances, and volunteer labor of scores of area residents and craftsmen. Initial student count places the weekly attendance to be more than 62% of elementary students being given parental permission to attend the weekly Bible classes. The ministry has depended, and will continue to depend on, private financial donations from churches and committed and motivated individuals who have had the burden for years to see Van Wert City’s children given this unique opportunity.

The Amish Cook By: Lovina Eicher I have 10 loaves of bread rising and daughter Susan is mixing two batches of ranger cookies. The cookies are being made to take along to church services on Sunday. She’ll probably end up mixing another batch so we will have some to keep for ourselves. The boys picked the tomatoes last night and didn’t even get a 5 gallon bucket full. Looks like they are slowing down fast. If I do get more, I would like to make a batch of pizza sauce to put in jars. I still have plenty of green peppers, so I could still use those. I went with husband Joe to see a doctor after he came home from work. He has been feeling very sick the last few weeks with wheezing, coughing, sinus congestion. After putting in our hay, it seems to be worse. He wears a mask to cover his mouth and nose to put in hay, but it still bothers him. The doctor told Joe it was allergies and the start of bronchitis. He prescribed an inhaler and medication which will help him get over it. This is starting to keep him awake at night, so he finally decided it was time to see a doctor. He will be working 5 day weeks so he needs to keep his energy level up. Loretta went back to school on Tuesday and it went very well. She seems worn out in the evenings, though. She has a lot more patience with the cast than I would have. Her feet and legs get itchy and she can’t scratch them. I still remember when I was young and had a broken arm. After a few weeks the
arm started itching and you couldn’t scratch beneath the cast. I thought back then it was very miserable. Loretta really tries to do a lot for herself without our help. To get into bed she puts her wheelchair up to the bed and braces it. Then she puts her cast on the bed and scoots herself on the bed. When getting out of bed, she slides backward into her wheelchair. She has also figured out how to get her wheelchair to the toilet so she can go to the bathroom without help. She is determined to get better. Saturday our new Amish neighbor Joas and Susan and three daughters biked over to see Loretta. She was glad for their company. Sisters Verena and Susan came over for a few minutes to see how her surgery went. Neighbor Susan brought us apple fry pies and a pumpkin roll from her bakery. That was a treat for us since I didn’t get any baking done that week. They operate a bakery where they used to live and will gradually move it over to their new home. Their daughters are the same age as our daughters and they seem to have made friends quickly.
To soften the sorrow, To comfort the living, Flowers say it best!

Daughter Elizabeth started working in the cabinet shop area of the trailer factory this week. Her job had been to do the caulking around the windows and wherever it was needed. Her hand broke out in a rash so bad, they think she was allergic to something she was working with. It was pretty painful, but it seems to be clearing up now. I will share my pizza sauce recipe with you this week: PIZZA SAUCE 1/2 bushel tomatoes 4 garlic cloves 3 pounds onions, sliced two green peppers 5 hot peppers 1 cup vegetable oil 12-3 ounce cans of tomato paste 1 cup sugar 1 1/4 cup brown sugar 1 tablespoon sweet basil 1 tablespoon oregano 3 tablespoons pizza spice 1/2 cup salt Cook tomatoes, garlic, onion, and peppers until soft. Put through sieve. Add vegetable oil and cook 30 minutes. Add tomato paste, sugar, and seasonings. Simmer until it boils and thickens a little. Put in jars and seal and this makes 24 pints.

Flat Rock Fest is good for the soul Dear Editor, Many years ago I moved from Paulding and became a teacher in Florida. A year ago, I made it a point into going to the horses races on Labor Day at the Van Wert County Fair. Sort of “a bucket list” thing to do for myself. My Uncle Kenny used to race there when I attended the Paulding Schools and that there was no “better” time to go. I went and had a good time. I packed up and went back to Florida. That’s when many different friends mentioned to me about the Flat Rock Creek Fall Festival and that I might want to attend some day. So this year I added the Flat Rock Fall Festival to my bucket list of things to do. I had heard of all the good things that were happening and I was very pleasantly surprised at what I got to see and do. One of the most difficult things for me to believe is that I had never been to a Flat Rock Fall Festival before, even after all these years that it has been going on. Staying in a camper close to the back gate and having coffee with Larry Copsey for his 6-8 a.m. shift got my day usually off to a good start. The first day when they fired the cannons to start the day, I thought someone’s camper LP gas tanks exploded. Larry set me straight on the cannons. Heading down for pancakes and sausage by the main gate was good, but the music just sort of put the unique icing on the morning. They were just a picking and a grinning. I’m not used to live music with my breakfast and coffee. I had heard about the shopping opportunities and sure enough about ran out of money before I could get back to the camper. Bucky Sierer sold me a couple of fishing lures and a couple of harmonicas. The crafts were quite good also. Seeing demonstrations of old farm equipment, husking corn, cutting logs
into boards and watching all the long belt pulleys transferring energy. I bet I watched the gentleman making brooms for the longest time. The wooden Gatling gun carving along with carved revolvers were really neat also. I taught science and I was impressed with Brooks Pendergrast separating water into hydrogen and oxygen and running a car on the hydrogen. One of the most important things to me about these kind of festivals is how it brings us together as individuals and as a community. Seeing some of my friends and classmates again was especially good for me and made my trip well worth it. The Paulding County Fair and all other county fairs I believe had this in mind when they began. The Flat Rock Creek Fall Festival definitely has this quality going for it and no doubt is part of its success. I heard about the strong winds that pass through the county and noticed the grandstand had a few pieces of green roofing missing. The grandstand, she has been and seen A LOT in her day and has weathered many a storm just as many of us have. When she was full of people from the tractor pulls and horse pulls, I thought I saw her smiling from that sense of worth and enjoyment that she was a part of again and originally built for. Listening to old stories from the old timers from days gone by while having that breakfast was good for my soul, along with the whole festival. My hat is off to all those people involved in pulling off The Flat Rock Festival and my special thanks go out to all of you, Flat Rock Festival organizers/Bill Vance, workers/volunteers, fair board and county commissioners that made this event special not only to me, but many others. Hope to see you all next year. Robert Bruce Bryan Ocklawaha, Fla.
Candidate replies to sheriff’s letter Dear Editor, Having read the letter to the editor submitted last week by outgoing Sheriff David Harrow (“Sheriff supports retaining Burkard,” Progress, Sept. 26), about my opponent for the position of Paulding County Prosecuting Attorney Joseph R. Burkard, I felt compelled to reply. One of the primary metrics by which we can gauge a prosecutor’s judgment, reasoning ability, and skill is his success rate at trial. A prosecutor has the final say as to whether a case goes to trial. The defendant’s time,
money, and reputation are all wasted by any unjustified prosecution which has little chance of success. Taxpayer dollars and a judge’s and the jury members’ time and lost income from work are needlessly wasted, and the reputation and work of law enforcement are squandered, when there is an unsuccessful or ill-chosen prosecution. Sheriff Harrow’s letter bizarrely claimed that only the weakest cases are taken to trial by our current prosecutor. If true, this makes no sense at all. Are we to believe that the current prosecutor is dismissing and plea-bargaining away his strongest cases, only to waste his time, energy, court time and resources, law enforcement efforts, and taxpayer money on his worst cases? Sheriff Harrow’s statement regarding our election laws is factually incorrect. A candidate for prosecutor must only decide whether he will be full-time or part-time before actually beginning his term, not at the time he decides to run for that office. In fact, the presumption under Ohio law is that the county prosecutor will not maintain a private practice, and if he wishes to do otherwise he must notify the county commissioners before taking office. While I have made my decision now and will stand by it, neither my opponent nor I are required to make a final decision until after the election. There are many differences between a full-time prosecutor and part-time prosecutor, compensation being the least important. Availability and focus are chief among them. The salary difference between the two positions is determined by the state of Ohio. Why would the state mandate different salaries for these, if there was not the expectation that a full-time prosecutor would render more and better service and be more available to the courts, victims, law enforcement, county elected officials, and the public in general while delivering better results? How much money does our county expend each year in hiring special prosecutors to handle cases in which my opponent has conflicts of interest because of his time-consuming and extensive private practice and that of members of his law firm? How much have our county elected officials spent hiring outside attorneys because the prosecutor did not have the
time or the motivation to fulfill his duties in a timely manner by properly advising them? This has been a complaint about our current parttime prosecutor which I have heard repeatedly during this campaign. Would the people of Paulding County feel comfortable having a part-time sheriff? Seeing a part-time doctor? Being operated on by a part-time surgeon? With crime more prevalent now than ever, why would we want a part-time Prosecutor to defend our interests? The current prosecutor is unavailable when he is meeting with clients or representing them in court, here and in other counties, as he frequently does. A part-time prosecutor has divided focus and loyalties which can be called into question even under the best of circumstances. Sometimes being told by his office that he will “call you back next week” is just not good enough and contradicts his claim that he is available “24/7.” Sheriff Harrow tried to generate sympathy and gratitude for Mr. Burkard by suggesting that his decision to perform the duties of his office part-time was done to save the county money, and that he had lost P.E.R.S. pension advantages because of his part-time salary. What is more likely is that Mr. Burkard made a financial calculation that, by being a part-time prosecutor, he could make more money for himself than he could as a full-time prosecutor by having a lucrative private law practice “on the side.” The current prosecutor is, in a sense, “double-dipping.” I submit to you that his income has most likely been significantly higher as a result of his choice to be a part-time prosecutor than it would have been if he had been a full-time prosecutor for the people of Paulding County. Another consideration is: How much is my opponent’s share of the roughly $10,000/yr. in rent that the county pays, and has been paying for many years, to his law firm to rent the space for the prosecutor’s office? Why does Mr. Burkard have a second-floor office which is not handicap-accessible when better-situated and handicap-accessible properties are available for much less? Is the public’s convenience and benefit his first priority or is it his own “bottom line”? Harvey Hyman Candidate for Paulding County prosecutor

Today was a sad day. Today I had to say goodbye to a pair of friends who have been with me through thick and thin since the summer of 2004. They were typically found gardening with me from April to September. But they’ve pulled so much more duty than that. They protected me when I helped fight a brush fire in my back yard during a drought. They were present at my 40th birthday celebration. They even accompanied me to the emergency room last May when I was completely in denial that I was having an appendicitis attack. They are my favorite pair of flip-flops and alas, they are no more. I wore flip-flops back when they were called thongs (a Mary Beth completely inappropriate deWeisenberger scription to use these days, my daughter reminds me). They were cheap, easy shoe coverings for a tomboy-girl who preferred to go barefoot and resorted to thongs/flip-flops only when her mother insisted she needed some sort of footwear. Once I was out of college, however, flipflops were not an important staple in my shoe inventory. My lanky walk made it difficult to keep them on, and frankly made me look like a newborn giraffe taking its first wobbly steps. That, plus I had a propensity to trip in regular shoes, much less a pair of slippy-slappy rubbery ones. Then came August 2004, when we were vacationing in Busch Gardens, Virginia. My daughter broke one of her flip-flops, and we were forced to buy a new pair for her from the gift shop on the grounds. Generic blue, they had Busch Gardens emblazoned across the rubber straps. She hated them, but begrudgingly wore them the rest of the day. Since that was the only point in time that she and I both wore the same shoe size, I tried them on in the hotel room. They fit like a glove and I wore them from then on. Fast forward eight years, and I am working outside on a hot sunny day when I decide to dip some water out of the pond to give my flowers a drink. One step onto the rocks along the shore and one of my beloved ancient flip-flops blew a strap. I slid down the bank and nearly took a headfirst plunge. I looked down at the offending party; it displayed a fatal injury that left me momentarily stunned. I picked it up and confirmed the worst: there would be no more flipping for this flopper. Well, now what? I asked myself. What am I going to wear to the mailbox? What am I going to slip on when it’s time to walk out to the gardens? What will I don when I need to rush uptown to buy a gallon of milk and hope no one sees me? It’ll be tough, nearly impossible, to replace my old friends. It’s been so long since I’ve been flip-flop shopping, I’m not sure how to go about it. I only know I won’t be buying thongs. Mary Beth Weisenburger is probably wearing some old tennis shoes out in her garden right now and pouting about it.

The Business, Farm and Estate Planner By Aaron Baker, Partner at Keister & Baker, LLC
A Dignified Transition: Handing off Responsibility for your Business Affairs A well-drafted trust answers the question: what happens to my business affairs if I am no longer mentally or physically able to handle my own affairs? After all, anyone can become mentally incapable of handling business affairs, whether it occurs by an onset of Alzheimer’s disease or because of a sudden illness or accident. It may not be a pleasant question to ask, but many folks have complicated assets that require consistent attention. Having a plan in place is a smart, cost-effective solution. As the trustee of your own trust, you are in charge of your own affairs. However, there may come a time that you are unable to handle your own business affairs. The operating terms of a welldrafted trust should include a “disability panel� stating when and why you should be removed as the trustee and who should replace you as trustee. Essentially, it is a practical and medical determination that you have reached a point where you legally relinquish the right to control your business affairs and appoint someone to act on your behalf. For example, the terms may dictate that you can only be removed as the trustee of your own trust upon the agreement of both a spouse and a doctor that you are mentally unable to make competent mental decisions. It may sound scary to think of losing control of your own assets, but this feature is really a protective and cost-effective feature. Without it, an heir is left with the alternative of seeking a court order that
an individual is no longer mentally capable of handling his or her own business affairs. This type of court proceeding is referred to as a “guardianship proceeding.� In a nutshell, the court makes a determination as to whether someone is still mentally competent. If the court determines that the person is not mentally competent, a guardian―usually a family member―is appointed as the guardian. This proceeding is public, time-consuming and expensive. A court hearing must occur, necessitating additional legal bills. Also, a regular financial accounting is required and requires additional legal counsel. Even if you have a trust with a disability panel, you still have a legal right to a guardianship proceeding. For instance, if you believe that an heir is over-eager to use the trust disability panel to have you declared unfit to serve as trustee, you still retain the right to a court hearing wherein the court will examine whether an abuse of power is occurring. The topic is delicate. Everyone wants to retain control. Perhaps you have also observed a senior citizen who is still in control of their financial affairs even though they entered a state of dementia. How much better to have the matter handled privately, outside of a public court proceeding? A well-drafted trust can prevent that scenario and preserve your dignity by allowing you to not only set up the terms of a disability panel but also pre-select successor trustees. 6c1

@ Your Library
A Penny For Your Thoughts.... By: Nancy Whitaker
Susan Hill Pieper, Library Director HUNTING, FISHING AND READING HAVE INCREASED! I knew it was just a matter of time before a gradual shift or correction would be evident in the onslaught of technology on the family. In the Monday, Sept. 24, 2012 edition of USA Today newspaper (available at the library), a frontpage article stated that according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 11% more people (16 years and older) hunted and 9% more fished in 2011 than in 2006. The research surmised that families are returning to more traditional sporting and hobby venues – parents are introducing their children to things they did when they were young. It also mentioned that many parents are choosing alternatives to organized sports. Hunting and fishing allows families to be outdoors enjoying a sport together. There are urban fishing programs with relaxed regulations in many areas that are luring (pun intended) new audiences to the sport. A commissioner with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources shared that he thought they had lost the children to technology. But, that is proving to be untrue. Ohio’s Department of Natural Resources www.dnr.state.oh.us provides grant money for schools in their “Project Wild� program which allows teachers to take lesson plans outdoors, bringing conservation education concepts to life for students. According to Jen Dennison, wildlife education coordinator for the Division of Wildlife. “An added benefit is the improvement of a schoolyard habitat for wildlife and people, which enhances outdoor learning experiences.� And, here at the library, we are seeing an increase in reading on all levels. The children’s summer reading program re-
sulted in over 5,000 books being read by young readers systemwide. Over half the items that are borrowed or used at the library are books, followed by movies, computer use, books on CD and PlayAways, etc. Our storytimes at the main historic Carnegie library as well as all branches are introducing preschoolers to the library and books. The Bookmobile team provides storytimes on the road to preschools and nursing homes. Reading and listening to the written word is still important to Paulding County’s citizens. There will always be books. It would take every parent across the planet to decide collectively to stop reading to their children all at the same time; publishers would have to stop the presses; the ink would stop flowing – in order for the book to disappear. Books and reading have been around for over two thousand years. It is highly unlikely that the surge of technological devices would bring a halt to a part of our culture and civilization that has been so entrenched in the lives of humanity. Yes, you will read that the new iPhone 5 is boosting the economy by a projected $3 billion. And yes, the new gadgets will be the hot gift for Christmas. But, as long as you read to your children and purchase books as gifts, the book will continue to long surpass time and technology. Books will continue to be the backbone of the library collection. Formats come and go, but the printed page will endure forever – as long as we keep reading and introducing the book to our children. So, enjoy hunting and fishing, and while you are waiting in your blind for that perfect shot, or sitting on the banks of a pond waiting for that first bite, why not bring a book and read away the hours? Happy Reading!

JIMINY CRICKET When the days begin to get shorter and the weather turns cooler, can you hear the crickets chirping? Now, I am definitely not fond of crickets and usually scream when I see one, but when I hear them chirping, I know winter is approaching and it is time to get ready for some winter weather. I can hear them singing their merry song around my house now, but have not seen any in the house. I have always been curious about these insects and I did not know this, but only the male crickets chirp. I would not have made a happy cricket, because the females just don’t sing or make any noise. It is a popular myth that crickets chirp by rubbing their legs together. Another interesting fact is there are four types of cricket songs and a cricket does not have to get in the right key to sing them. One cricket song is the calling song. In this song, the male chirps really loud to call the females to come to him. My question is, “I wonder how many gal crickets the male attracts with his calling song. (If I were one of them, I’d at least want to be taken out for dinner.) When females gets close, the male cricket will go into a courting song. He sings this very quietly. His aggressive song is one that is triggered by receptors on the antennae that detect the near presence of another male cricket. The fourth song is produced for a brief period after a successful mating. (I do not know how that is determined.) The folklore and stories surrounding crickets are extensive. Some believe that the singing of crickets is taken to be a sign of impending rain. In some places a black cricket in a room is said to foretell illness; a gray one, money; and a green one, hope. Others believe that a cricket announces death, thus it is killed if it chirps in a house. Folklore also says that a constantly chirping cricket
foretells pregnancy, but if it pauses, money is expected. In many countries in the world, if a cricket exists in the house, it is treated with respect. They are placed in small cages and given food and water. It is thought that their existence brings good luck. The lifespan of a cricket is less than one year. This span increases if there is someone to provide them a home, water and food. But crickets can also affect crops and gardens as they munch away and forage for food. In my quest for knowledge about crickets, I discovered that some countries have cricket fights and bet on them. Now if you don’t want to find out anymore about crickets, stop reading, because in some countries crickets are considered a delicacy. I cannot ever imagine eating one, but I will share a recipe for “cricket fritters.� CRICKET FRITTERS Makes about 20 ingredients: 200 grams flour 1 cup water 1 cup crickets, chopped (preboiled but not roasted) 1 cup water 1 teaspoon chili paste a large red onion, finely chopped 1 red chili, thinly sliced 3 small chives, cut to 1 inch strips 1 cup cooked corn kernels 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves 1 teaspoon salt Directions: Mix flour, chili paste, salt and water and combine until the texture is smooth. The texture should be thick but not watery. Throw in the chopped onions, chives, sliced chili, corns, crickets and combine. Heat a large pot with cooking oil. When the oil is heated properly, it’s time to deep fry. Scoop a spoonful of the mixture and drop it into the oil for frying. Don’t put too many pieces in at one time, as they need room to fry around until they turn a golden
brown color, which should take about 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and repeat with remaining mixture. Serve with rice and garnish with chopped cilantro leaves. Have you ever heard any folklore concerning crickets? Have you heard them chirping yet this fall? Have you ever tried eating them? Let me know and I’ll give you a Penny for Your Thoughts. ••• This note comes from a Penny column reader who read about the loss of Brownie, my dog. Susie Keck of Paulding writes, “I am missing my feline companion of almost 16 years; she had to be put down back in July of this year. “Her name was Widget Lynne, and she was a tortoiseshell with Siamese mixed in. I’d had her since she was 3 or 4 months old. I have many memories of her, good and bad, and I cherish them all. “One of those memories is when she would ride with me from Bellevue to my home in Paulding, sitting on the passenger seat. Sometimes I’d make a stop a little fast and she’d go off the seat onto the floor. Then, she’d glare at me as she climbed back up on the seat. “My most favorite memory is her greeting me at the door when returned home from someplace. It always sounded as if she were cussing me out, because she always felt I should have been home sooner. “I also had a little Cockapoo, Jack, that was almost 16 when he passed away in 2000; I still miss that little guy. “There is a saying that cats leave pawprints on your heart. Well, any pet does that. “I don’t think anyone ever gets over the loss of a pet, but in memories, they live on. Pets enrich your life, even though you have to eventually say goodbye to them. But, it’s worth it to have them around; they only make your life a little brighter, if not a little more interesting, with their antics.â€?

8A - Paulding County Progress Wednesday, October 3, 2012
By Jim Daly and Dr. Juli Slattery QUESTION: I have just entered into a relationship with a man whom I really love and care for. I have one small but nagging concern about our relationship – I’m 22 years old and he’s almost 40. Is this a problem? Will it be a problem in the future? JIM: There’s nothing inherently wrong with such an arrangement, but there are certainly some things you should consider before going too deep into the relationship. The first has to do with the basic difference in your life experiences. You’re barely beyond college-age; he’s approaching midlife and has already spent considerable time in the adult world pursuing a career and having romantic relationships. Under normal circumstances, he will have achieved a greater degree of maturity than you have at this stage in your life. Now, I’m not accusing you of being “immature.” And it’s quite possible that he’s young at heart. But you should honestly consider whether the difference in your levels of life experience will impact your relationship before forging ahead. In addition, some young women are attracted to older men because they’re really looking for a father figure. The men recognize this and end up manipulating or controlling their younger girlfriends. Take a personal inventory and consider whether you view your boyfriend as a peer and partner, or if you’re seeking an unmet father-need in your life. If it’s the latter, you should put a halt to the relationship in fairness to you both. I know plenty of happily
married couples who have significant age differences between them. But you do need to take these things into account before moving forward. QUESTION: When I got engaged last week, I got a hostile reaction from my parents, especially my mom. She believes we’re “too young,” even though we’re both in our mid-20s! I’m wondering if this is because of the “empty nest” syndrome – my mom and I have always been close, and I’m the last of her children to leave the home. We’ve always been a tightknit family and this crisis really concerns me. What should I do? JULI: Even though, in your mind, parents should greet an engagement with a lot of enthusiasm, it’s fairly normal for them to have some anxiety, and even hostility. You’ve already touched on the idea that it will be difficult for your mom to let you go. Your marriage means a huge transition, not only in your relationship with her, but in her own life. Give her time to adjust to the idea of losing you. Having said that, your parents may also have legitimate concerns about your engagement. Often they can see something that you can’t. For example, they may observe that your fiancé is controlling or rude. If they’re hitting on something that could be true, validate the concern. You could say, “I can see what you’re saying. That’s why we are going through premarital counseling.” This mature attitude will assure your parents that you’re going into marriage with your eyes wide open and that you’re aware of possible red flags. If your parents continue to harp on the same concerns, remind
them that you’ve already talked about that and considered their advice. Also, be careful not to put your fiancé in the middle of the drama with your parents. Emotions are probably running high on all sides. Don’t make decisions or statements that could do lasting damage to the longterm relationships. Your parents will likely come around to supporting your engagement and marriage. In the meantime, reaffirm your love for them, acknowledging that this is a tough time for them.

Keeping active yields healthier life There are many misconceptions about what senior citizens can and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do. For some reason, it is believed that once a person reaches the age that allows them to be referred to as senior citizens they can no longer live an active life. This however is not the case. As long as they are in good physical health, there should be no reason for them not to live an active and fulfilling lifestyle.

memory. Social activities are in fact, just as significant for seniors as exercise. Maintaining speed, muscle strength and dexterity through young adulthood into older age is a result of being socially active. Doing volunteer work, going to social gatherings and sports events or maybe visiting friends are all factors in maintaining good physical health. There are lots of social activities for seniors to choose from. Often libraries and park commissions and generally offer free senior activities. The activities offered can range from book clubs to painting classes, yoga, pottery, dancing and tai chi, bingo and the so on. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a matter of any interested senior deciding what to do and getting out there and doing it.

Supper was family time Recently at an auction, an old dinner bell was one of the first items to sell and it sold at a hefty price. At first the property owner was amazed at the going price for the old relic, but then we started to reflect on the topic of,â&#x20AC;&#x153;suppertime,â&#x20AC;? and the realization of its value became more obvious. At our little country home, suppertime around the old wooden table was absolutely the highlight of our family dynamics for the day. My grandmother would sit on one end and my father on the other. Then my mother and I would fit in between. While it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long to recall the aroma of fresh hamburger gravy over mashed potatoes and home made bread, the alluring smell of hot apple pie and sundry other goodies of our kitchen, the real value of supper at our place was the opportunity to gather as a family to visit. Spontaneously, we would talk about the events around the place for the day, who visited the neighborhood, events in school, classroom experiences and pranks and labor at the furniture factory where my dad worked. My grandma would sometimes spin tales from memories about her one room school, what it was like to have 15 people around the supper table and the experiences of walking to school during a storm. Sometimes the sewing machine beside our supper table would be open because my mother would be making â&#x20AC;&#x153;alike shirtsâ&#x20AC;? for my dad and I to wear to church or social events. And, of course, family members would often hear â&#x20AC;&#x153;my side of the storyâ&#x20AC;? from the more traumatic moments in school. Contrast those moments with the present style of evening meal, that of one family member running into the kitchen, slipping something into the microwave and then running back out the door. Others do a quick run-through at a fastfood place while others grab chips and soda on the run. The disheartening part of all of this is that there is no opportunity for family communication that used to give
HOMESPUN
By JIM LANGHAM opportunity for expression and understanding of each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feelings and challenges. Each knew somewhat what the other was doing at any given time; in our family, that meant that we prayed for other family members at the moment in time that we knew that they were undergoing a certain challenge. My mind would be in sync with such thoughts as, â&#x20AC;&#x153;9 a.m., momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appointment, all day, dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s challenges at work and thoughts of grandma working in the garden in the morning.â&#x20AC;? We were very family focused, to the extent that we would immediately check on each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal events for the day. What a self-esteem builder to have family members remember what my needs were for the day. Chores surrounding supper were in the flow of life. Upon arrival at home from school, it was the expected thing to chop wood and bring it into the house, bring in coal and go to the neighborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to get well drinking water (we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a well on our property).
After supper, my little step stool came out so I can stand up to the table and dry dishes and put them away from the evening meal. Did I regret doing such chores? No, in fact, there was a sense of self-esteem fostered in being made to feel like a part of the family team, a quality I have kept to this day with a strong desire to chip in for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;team effort.â&#x20AC;? Perhaps some of the most notable memories of the evening meal revolve around certain comments that were made that reflected the times in which we were still living. One in particular occurred when my dad announced to us that he had accomplished a first in his work place (Smith Brothers Furniture, Berne, Ind.) He always worked hard, as we all did, to assist with our close financial needs. On this particular situation, he told how he had taken many hours of extra overtime work that reflected on that paycheck. He looked at my mother and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Elnora, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe it but I made my first $100 check this week,â&#x20AC;? an accomplishment he was immensely proud of at the time. To this day, a lump comes to my throat when I reflect on that moment, reflecting our family pride of contributing to our needs, and telling it around the evening meal. It was the nurturing site of much more than the country food that we enjoyed, it represented the fortifying of communication and love that developed the strength of soul that I carry with me to this day.
Ed Gebert/Times Bulletin
Cooper Farms CEO Jim Cooper was joined by corporate secretary Dianne Cooper and Chief Operating Officer Gary Cooper for groundbreaking for Cooper Farmsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; third wind turbine.
Cooper Farms to put up third wind turbine BY ED GEBERT Times Bulletin Correspondent VAN WERT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; One more wind turbine is set to be built to the north of Van Wert, but like two others nearby, this one is going to increase the amount of green energy for one local company. Cooper Farms has already jumped headlong into wind energy by putting up two turbines intended to provide more than half of the plantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s electrical usage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we built the first two, we built them with the idea of supplying about 60 percent of our electric needs for our plant ... and it did,â&#x20AC;? explained Cooper Farms CEO Jim Cooper. He went on to explain that in the two years it took between the initial study of using wind power and the time the turbines were on line, the firm expanded the Van Wert plant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So instead of producing 60 percent of the needs, it was down to around 50 percent of the needs, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we are in the process today of breaking ground for the third turbine which will take us up to around 75 percent of our production needs at the Van Wert plant,â&#x20AC;? he shared. Cooper Farms officially broke ground for the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third wind turbine Sept. 24 at a site just north of the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cooked meats operation just off U.S. 127. Jim Cooper was joined by Dianne Cooper, the firmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s corporate secretary, and Chief Operating Officer Gary Cooper in turning up shovels of dirt at the turbine construc-
tion site. Then for good measure, Jim Cooper climbed into a backhoe and did a little more serious digging to get the project under way. The new turbine will be identical to the two existing units. They can be distinguished from the turbines of the Blue Creek Wind Farm by looking at the top of the tower on the opposite end from the blades. The Cooper Farms turbines have a small button shape while the Blue Creek turbines are longer at the nacelle. The turbines themselves are 431 feet high with components made in both the U.S. and China. As with the installation of the first two turbines, One Energy, of Findlay, is heading up the construction. This third turbine is scheduled to be ready by the end of the year. One year ago, Cooper Farms started construction of the two current turbines. Those were finished and operational in approximately the same time frame. In all, Jim Cooper noted that he and the company think wind power is a good alternative. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We figured that wind power would be a good thing for us. It fit our mentality,â&#x20AC;? he stated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got an ongoing commitment to providing the best products while incurring the least environmental impact in the surrounding communities and farms and waterways. We know it is vital that we are good stewards of the natural resources all around us, and providing a good place for our children and grandchildren to live in the years to come.â&#x20AC;?

Dandy â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Yankee Doodleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Vindication for the innocent This is part of a series of columns that about Ohio and the War of 1812. Courtesy Ohio Society United States Daughters of 1812 America fought two wars for independence against Great Britain: the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. Neither of these wars were â&#x20AC;&#x153;singing wars,â&#x20AC;? as was the Civil War. The Union camps during the Civil War rang with playing and singing, â&#x20AC;&#x153;John Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Body,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Battle Hymn of the Republicâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tramp, Tramp, Tramp.â&#x20AC;? The Confederates camps were cheered with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dixie Land,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bonnie Blue Flagâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yellow Rose of Texas.â&#x20AC;? During the War of 1812, Frances Scott Key was inspired when he saw the American flag still flying over Fort McHenry in Baltimore after an overnight bombardment. Key wrote a poem that was later set to music and adopted as the National Anthem, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Star-Spangled Banner.â&#x20AC;? Most Colonial music had been imported from England and about the only tune that has survived from the Colonial pe-
riod was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yankee Doodle.â&#x20AC;? Some historians are sure that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yankee Doodleâ&#x20AC;? was heard first in the Colonies during the Revolutionary War. Yankee was the pronunciation of the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;Englishâ&#x20AC;? by the Indians. Doodle in England became known as a simpleton or dolt, and lazy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a do-little. A favorite story of the origin of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yankee Doodleâ&#x20AC;? is that after an uprising against King Charles I of England, Oliver Cromwell appeared riding a small horse and wearing a plumed hat fastened with a fancy knot. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;knotâ&#x20AC;? was jokingly dubbed â&#x20AC;&#x153;macaroni.â&#x20AC;? Cromwellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enemies laughed among themselves over the amusing picture and made up the following words with music from an old English nursery
rhyme: Yankee Doodle came to town Upon a Kentish pony: He stuck a feather in his cap, And called it macaroni. British soldiers remembered the amusing sight of Cromwell and sang it as an insult to American soldiers in their ragged clothes, instead of uniforms. The American soldiers liked the song because it was easy to march to, and began playing it for themselves. It soon became well-known and they would strike up â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yankee Doodleâ&#x20AC;? to rally the men and when marching into battle. Father and I went down to camp, Along with Captain Goodinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, And there we saw the men and boys As thick as hasty puddin.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Yankee Doodle keep it up, Yankee Doodle Dandy Mind the music and the step And with the girls be handy. The British heard it so much they never wanted to hear it again, but they did â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all through the War of 1812.

Fall has absolutely positively arrived, both officially and unofficially. The wondrously cool nights and crisp clear days when the warmth of the sun feels good on our backs instead of making us sweat is a welcome relief from the hot, dry summer. The leaves are beginning to turn those lovely shades of red, gold, and orange and the frost is on the pumpkin. And those of us that have seasonal allergies are sneezing and itching and coughing. Most of us with those kinds of allergies know that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ragweed thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the biggest culprit right now, but do you know what ragweed really is? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m here to tell you what it ISNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T. You know those beautiful golden plumy things that are blooming right now in the fields and along the roadsides? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goldenrod, one of our most beautiful fall wildflowers. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not ragweed and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the cause of all your allergy frustrations, in spite of what you may have believed all these years. In fact, goldenrod pollen is too heavy to be carried by the wind, and some forms of goldenrod contain a
In The Garden
By Kylee Baumle powerful herbal ANTI-allergen for those who suffer from seasonal allergies. Take THAT, ragweed! While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true that allergies flare up about the time goldenrod blooms, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because ragweed blooms at the same time. And ragweed isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t nearly so glamorous, despite belonging to the genus Ambrosia. (Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cruel joke, eh?) It has boring green spikes of tiny blooms and you really wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give it a second look, even if you were taking a slow, leisurely stroll down a country road. Ragweed pollen is particularly irritating, due to its spiny exterior, and though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s found in every corner of the country, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more plentiful in the eastern US and the Midwest. In fact, the Midwest has the honor of having the most ragweed pollen of anywhere on earth. The bad news is that because our climate is changing, the hay fever season is becoming longer. And more bad news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if you think you can avoid ragweed pollen, think again. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generally too small to be caught by common filtration masks (who wants to wear those, anyway?) and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heaviest during the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., so unless you can stay inside with windows closed,
youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out of luck. And you know how we all love the smell of bed sheets that are dried on the clothes line? Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it. The pollen gets embedded in the sheets and then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just sleeping in the stuff all night. Yeah, I know. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not helping, am I? So letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk about goldenrod some more. Our native Solidago canadensis is in the Aster family. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Kentucky state wildflower (Nebraska, too) and many in the Appalachian areas use it to make tea to combat fatigue. You can grow it in your gardens and many people do. There are hybrid cultivated varieties as well, such as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Peter Panâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Fireworksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Golden Babyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The CREW (Conservation and Research of Endangered Wildlife) Center at the Cincinnati Zoo is working to bring back a specific goldenrod â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Solidago shortii, named for Charles Short, who discovered it in 1840, growing on an island in the Ohio River. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the rarest plants in the world. Once considered to be extinct, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now on the Federally Endangered List after a small population was rediscovered in Kentucky in 1939. Another small crop was located in southern Indiana in 2002. So, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blame the goldenrod for your sniffling woes. Enjoy it for its sunny disposition and natural beauty it gives the landscape. Appreciate that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great source of food for butterflies and bees. You might even want to grow some in your own garden. Read more at Kyleeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blog, Our Little Acre, at www.ourlittleacre.com and on Facebook at www.facebook.com/OurLittleAcre.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Winning the Battle for a Generationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;
By Rick Jones exec. director, Defiance Area Youth for Christ â&#x20AC;&#x153;How Large Is My Moral Vocabulary?â&#x20AC;? When the American press is running articles on the concern of the moral abyss of our western culture, we may be in some real trouble. The Atlantic reported on another sign of our moral decline. They point to a research study that used the power and scope of the 5.2million-strong Google books archived to track the way we use language. In particular, they analyzed the frequency of words â&#x20AC;&#x153;related to moral excellence and virtueâ&#x20AC;? from American books from 1901 to 2000. The article reported, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the books are to be believed, we may be in a moral mess.â&#x20AC;? Researchers found huge declines in the use of words like character, conscience, decency, dignity, righteousness, uprightness, and virtue. Even words like honesty, patience, humility, perseverance, bravery, faithfulness, and even love also declined. Words like compassion, tolerance, and fairness showed increased use. The authors of the study noted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;People simply do not think/talk/write about morality and virtue as much anymore. The vocabulary for talking about issues of good and bad, right and wrong thus seems to be shrinking.â&#x20AC;? The challenge of ministering to a culture immersed in moral decline isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a new phenomenon; the Apostle Paul in his letter to the Church at Ephesus rests their moral compass by saying: Ephesians 4:21-29 (NLT), â&#x20AC;&#x153;21 Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from him 22 throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. 23 Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. 24 Put on your new nature, created to be like God, truly righteous and holy. 25 So stop telling lies. Let us tell our neighbors the truth, for we are all parts of the same body. 26 And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sin by letting anger control you. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let the sun go down while you are still angry, 27 for anger gives a foothold to the devil. 28 If you are a thief, quit stealing. Instead, use your hands for good hard work, and then give generously to others in need. 29 Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.â&#x20AC;?

Wayne Trace claims step three in GMC contest race By JIM LANGHAM Sportswriter HAVILAND – Following Friday night’s 47-14 blasting of Edgerton, Wayne Trace head football coach Bill Speller told his team that he believed they had just ousted the second best football team they have played all year in climbing to the third step in their challenge for a Green Meadows Conference football title. But things won’t get easier, Speller told his team. Two of the toughest opponents on their GMC schedule are lurking back to back for the Raiders. This week, the WT grid iron players will tackle Hicksville, followed by an encounter with a premier Tinora team. “We have special athletes with a lot of ability,” said Speller following the contest. “They played a heck of a game tonight. They gave people something to think about. There is still a big mission ahead; the GMC title and playoffs are the big picture.” Raider senior quarterback Colby Speice poured it on, throwing the ball for 348 yards and five touchdown passes. Korbin Showalter, on the other end of Speice’s efforts, hauled in two passes for 130 yards and two tallies and Cade Harvey engaged 98 yards receiving and one touchdown. For the game, Wayne Trace amassed 447 yards offensively while the WT defense held Edgerton to 244 yards. Wayne Trace jumped out to 22-7 lead at the end of the first quarter and then built that effort to 41-7 at the halfway mark. Friday’s win boosted the Raiders’ conference record to 3-0. “I thought we did a heck of a job that first half,” said Speller. “The guys were open and they converted. Showalter had a big game and Colby
had a big night. We were able to break them down and then convert several big game plays.” Speller said one of the things he likes the most about his team right now is the way the Raiders are continuing to gain self-confidence. “They were able to keep
their attitude together,” observed Speller. “We are such a strong family in our chemistry. “The offensive line did a great job of keeping people off of Colby,” Speller said. Speller said that his squad was capable of playing this type of football all season;
now, said the mentor, chemistry is starting to come together. “We’re on a roll, but we can’t take anything for granted,” said Speller. “We have to keep working hard in practice. Our self-confidence is growing, but we need to keep working as hard as we can.”

Panther Julian Salinas #9 tosses a long strike downfield in the Kenny King #36 finds himself pinned in by an Ada defender Paulding’s Taylor Deatrick #11 makes a cut around the Ada first half last Friday night. last Friday. defense last Friday night in NWC action.
Paulding falls to Ada in NWC play By KEVIN WANNEMACHER Sportswriter PAULDING – Coming off a disappointing loss at Western Reserve last week, the Paulding Panthers came out and competed with league front-runner Ada Friday night at Keysor Field. The Panthers recorded two interceptions and had matched an early Bulldog touchdown with a score of their own in the first quarter. With Ada on top 8-6, an interception by the Panthers’ Devan Gamble gave the hosts possession at their own 40-yard line. However, the momentum shift of
the night would take place on the next play. Paulding quarterback Julian Salinas faked out the Ada defense and the officials, appearing to hand the ball off to Logan Doster but instead keeping it and breaking free for an apparent touchdown. An inadvertent whistle, though, blew the play dead and the calledback score appeared to deflate the Panthers. The hosts turned the ball over on downs three plays later and Ada took advantage quickly. Acheson found Matt Wilcox on a 22-yard score on the Bulldogs’ fourth play of the drive as the visitors took a 16-6 lead.
While the blown call didn’t determine the outcome of the game, it definitely was a crucial blow to the Panthers, who were hoping to build on the momentum. “I thought our kids played extremely hard tonight,” commented Paulding head coach Chris Etzler. “We came out and played with a lot of energy and competed hard. We did a lot of positive things and we showed that we were capable of making plays.” Ada went on to score the game’s next 30 points before a 57-yard pass from Julian Salinas to Lance Foor got the maroon and white within 38-14. The Bulldogs would cruise the rest
Hicksville blanks Antwerp, 59-0 By JIM LANGHAM Sportswriter Hicksville jumped out to a 13-0 first quarter advantage and then turned on the power 26-0 in the second stanza en route to a 59-0 win over Antwerp in Green Meadows action at Antwerp. In spite of the loss, Antwerp head coach Drew Altimus saw improvement in several of his players. “It was a big improvement offensively,” said Altimus. “We executed better than we had been. We had more kids doing assignments the correct way.” Defensively, however, Altimus stressed that his squad has a long way to go. “Our tackling is not even close to where it needs to be,” Altimus said. Altimus admitted that another first occurred in Friday’s game, and it wasn’t the most positive step. Due to injuries of three additional players, the mentor was forced to pull two receivers out and put them in as linemen. Jarett Bute, Colton Hall and Carlos Sanchez all went out, forcing Altimus to pull Josh Longardner and Vic Williams to move from receiving to offensive line
of the way for the 54-14 victory. Kellen Decker paced the visitors with 221 rushing yards on 11 carries while quarterback Mason Acheson threw for 301 yards, completing 16 of 30 passes. Micah Roberson recorded eight receptions for 108 yards. Salinas was 19 of 36 passing for 235 yards threw the air for Paulding. Foor had six receptions for 129 yards, including one for a score. Javier Gonzales also picked up eight catches for 87 yards, with one of them being a 21yard touchdown pass. MUSTANG MINUTE: Two teams looking for their first win of the season will square off on Homecoming Night at Keysor Field Friday as
Paulding (0-6 overall, 0-4 NWC) hosts Allen East (0-6, 0-5). The Mustangs are coming off of a 35-33 loss to Bluffton in Lafayette Friday night, where the Mustangs are 0-4 this season. Other home losses were to Crestview (23-15), Spencerville (536) and Lima Bath (63-42). Road losses for the blue and white have been to Delphos Jefferson (48-0) and Columbus Grove (48-26). Allen East’s Ross Stewart has run for 443 yards on the season and quarterback Casey Crow has thrown for 1,011 yards. Evan Thomas is the top target for the Mustangs with 17 receptions for 307 yards.
Antwerp 3rd in Spiketacular
play. For Hicksville, Caleb Johns carried the ball nine times for 114 yards and three touchdowns. In the midst of his effort, the quick-footed athlete slipped in front of the ball for a reception and raced back 84 yards to place his team on the scoreboard. In addition, he ran the ball back 54 yards for a touchdown. Hicksville quarterback Johnny Geisege led the Aces rushing attack with 158 yards and two tallies. Nate Barnhouse led the Archer offensive attack with 16 carries for 73 yards. Freshman Bevin Hall continues to quarterback the Archers. “What we’ve got here is five freshmen out on the field. Physically, they can’t compete with juniors and seniors, plus this is the first time they could ever play football under the lights,” Altimus said. Hicksville’s record improved to 3-3 overall and 2-1 in the GMC while Antwerp dropped to 0-6 overall and 03 in the GMC. The Archers will be taking on a strong Tinora team on Friday night.
ARCHBOLD – Antwerp won two of three matches at the Archbold Spiketacular on Saturday as the blue and white slipped past Gibsonburg and Tinora while falling to Kidron Central Christian. The Archers opened the day with a 26-24 and 25-22 win over Gibsonburg. Pacing the way for the local squad were Alexis Jones (four kills, seven digs), Lydia Yenser (nine kills), Tara Richhart (eight kills), Avrial Sawyer (two aces, 11 digs), Katie Bissell (23 assists, two aces, five digs), Kacy Brumett (four digs) and Maddie Reinhart (two digs). In the second match of the day, the blue and white fell to Kidron Central by scores of 2513 and 25-11. Top players for Antwerp included Sawyer (six digs), Jones (two digs), Reinhart (two digs), Brumett (three digs), Emily Hamman (three blocks), Richhart (five kills) and Bissell (five assists). Antwerp concluded the day by slipping past Green Meadows Conference rival Tinora, 25-21 and 25-17. Bissell (20 assists, four digs), Jones (four kills, five digs), Yenser (six kills), Reinhart (two aces, two digs), Hamman (six kills, two blocks), Kaiya Jemison (two kills), Brumett (eight digs), Sawyer (seven digs), Gabby
