PAULDING A benefit is being planned
and is to be held at 6 p.m. Saturday, March 23,
at the Paulding Eagles.
The benefit is being held for Karen Wiswell
Price to assist her with medical expenses as she
was recently diagnosed with not only breast
cancer, but Stage 4 bone cancer.
Price, who is a dispatcher for the Paulding
County Sheriffs Office, went in to the
Paulding County Hospital for a routine mam-
mogram in November.
The initial report came back as suspicious
and another test was done. It was then con-
firmed that she indeed had breast cancer. It was
believed at that time to be Stage 1.
Not wanting to risk getting cancer anywhere
else in her body, she decided to have a radical
mastectomy and had both breasts removed. She
also had reconstructive surgery done at the
same time.
Price left the hospital being told and feeling
like she was cancer-free. She returned to her job,
which she loves, at the sheriffs office Jan. 4.
However, as she was watching TV one night,
she reached over to get her remote and felt a
sharp pain in her ribs on the left side. It was
very painful and she felt that something just
wasnt right.
Her oncologist and surgeon felt there could
be something else going on, so it was recom-
mended that she go to Parkview North in Fort
Wayne for a bone scan.
That was on Feb. 4 and the results were earth
shattering. Price had Stage 4 cancer which had
spread via the blood in her bones. This includ-
ed her spine, skull, mandible, left and right
ribcage, pelvis and hip.
Another scan determined that the cancer had
not spread to any organs. On Feb. 4, she re-
ceived two shots, Lupron and Xgeva. These
shots are to be given to her once a month.
She also started the medication Tamoxifen.
The medications, shots and doctor visits are
very expensive and she will be on some of the
medicines for at least five years.
In addition, she will have to go in for numer-
ous testings as she combats the cancer.
Karen said, My partner, David Snyder, my
daughter, Rachael, and my family and friends
are my support system. I have three sisters, a
brother and a stepsister, many nieces, nephews
and cousins.
We have always gotten our family together
at my moms, Sandra Parrishs, every
Wednesday and Sunday night for years. It is a
time we share our thoughts and support, eat and
talk. We have done it for years. That special
time with family really helps.
In conclusion Karen said, I think I may get
to go back to work tomorrow. The employees
at the sheriffs office are like a family. I love
my job there. I have to stay busy and positive.

victed of fatally shooting her
father, has been released from
prison after 13 years.

claimed years of verbal and
physical abuse spurred her
actions.
This case was featured in a
1999 episode of the CBS
news magazine 48 Hours,
bringing national attention to
the matter.
She was convicted of ag-
gravated murder with a
firearm specification in
October 1999 after two trials,
a mistrial, two convictions
and two appeals over the
course of several years. Her
final jury trial was moved to
Lima due to public interest in
the case and intense media
coverage.
She was sentenced to 33
years imprisonment includ-
ing a mandatory three-year
gun specification. She had
been in the Ohio Department
of Rehabilitation and
Correction system since
December 1996.

PAYNE Mayor Terry
Smith and the Payne Village
Council met in regular ses-
sion on Monday, March 11.
Council agreed to accept the
villages new insurance pre-
mium, transferred funds from
the water and sewer fund to
the general fund, and accept-
ed a new EMT.
Conrad Beck from Beck
Insurance presented a com-
plete breakdown of the vil-
lages insurance rates and pre-
mium. A three-year policy
was adopted last year with an
automatic renewal each year.
The 2012 premium cost was
$20,081 and the new premi-
um will be slightly more. The
new cost presented to the
council was $20,278; howev-
er, it was discovered that the
old truck recently sold was a
part in determining the
amount. There will be some
adjustment to lower the over-
all cost, according to Beck.
After a lengthy discussion
to understand what the policy
covered and the insurance re-
sponsibility to those commu-
nity groups who hold a vari-
ety of activities throughout
the year on village property,
council unanimously passed a
motion to accept the renewal.
After suspending the rules,
council unanimously passed
an emergency resolution au-
thorizing the transfer of
$5,439.44 from the water and
sewer fund to the village gen-
eral fund.
EMS Assistant Chief Joe
Garmyn reported that Tammy
Price had completed and
passed all the necessary test-
ing in order to join the EMS
squad.
Garmyn also shared with
the council that 12 runs were
made during the month of
February.
With appreciation and
thanks, Councilman Randy
Miller recognized Wayne
Trace seniors Dale Young and
Jorddan Childs for their vol-
unteer work in doing snow re-
moval in the village.
The next council meeting
will be held at 7 p.m.
Monday, March 25.

OAKWOOD Oakwood Village Council
met March 11 with five council members pres-
ent. Councilman Phil Stucky was absent.
Resident Nolan Tucker Shisler requested
that council extend the number of years (which
was 30 on the original resolution) on
Resolution 99-R-03 to allow the house located
on this property to remain in its current posi-
tion. Council voted unanimously to amend the
resolution to read 60 years.
Village administrator John Keyes stated that
the water and sewer pipe for the Cooper project
has arrived and that the project seems to be
starting to come together. The Cooper Farms
Truck Wash will be located on the east edge of
Oakwood along Ohio 613.
It was noted in a 2012 council meeting that
the cost of the total project would be in the
range of about $1 million and would eventual-
ly employ 25-30 people.
Keyes also told council that they have started
cleaning the other water filter.
Council voted unanimously to suspend the
rules and declare an emergency then unani-
mously passed Resolution 13-R-03 which ap-
proves the issuance and sale of revenue bonds
for the natural gas system.
The Central Collection Agency tax advisors
will be in the area again this year. They will be
available March 18 in Oakwood to assist resi-
dents with village tax forms.
Oakwood Mayor Erhard Bud Henke ad-
vised council that there was still no answer
from the state regarding street light mainte-
nance.
Henke also told council that the demolition
of the house on Auglaize Street had been turned
over to the village solicitor due to the property
owner not responding to the requests of the vil-
lage. Henke noted that the property may have to
be condemned before the demolition can begin.
EMS coordinator Chad Brown provided
council with the particulars regarding the trans-
mission and fuel leak problem with the new
squad. Brown stated that there had been a gas
tank fuel leak at the seam in the tank. The steel
tank was replaced with a plastic tank. The trans-
mission problems are not fixed to date but it is
being looked at again.
Henke requested and council unanimously
approved going into executive session to dis-
cuss personnel matters.
The next regular meeting will be at 6:30 p.m.
on March 25.

members. The seven divisions
of teams include mini-tots (0-
2 grade); tots (grades 3-5);
mini-youth (grades 6-8);
youth (grades 9-12), and men,
women and co-ed.
Last years event featured
115 teams and raised $9,200
toward Crippled Children and
Adult Society.
Every dollar stays in
Paulding County and is espe-
cially helpful because applica-
tions for assistance has in-
creased dramatically in recent
years. Last year, the society
served over 100 individuals in
the county with need. The
local society is based on an all
volunteer corps and meets in
any public building that will
extend a welcome for usage
for meetings. The society ma-
jors in speech, occupational
and physical therapy, some as-
sistance with medications and
various educational seminars
and mileage.
First and second place tro-
phies and sportsmanship/point
spread trophies are donated by
Fessel Jewelers, said
Benschneider.
In addition, Thrivent
Financial for Lutheran has
also pledged a significant do-
nation.
As has always been the
case, we are doing this to give
back to a county that has been
so good to all of us, com-
mented committee member
Chad Cluts. This money will
be used specifically toward
needs such as equipment and
services for handicapped peo-
ple of all ages in Paulding
County.
We want everyone to
come out and have as good of
a time as possible scoring all
the points that they can within
the 24 minutes allowed for
each team to play, said Cluts.
As always, sportsmanship-
like conduct is expected by
everyone.
It is so good to see that
after 35 years, the marathon is
still running strong,
Benschneider said. Of
course, this would not be pos-
sible if it were not for the
many volunteers, clock work-
ers, referees, door workers,
concession vendors, players
and committee workers that
started meeting long before
the event started.
Benschneider compared the
event to a family reunion and
said he likes seeing friends
from around the area that he
often only sees at the
marathon.
Committee members this
year include Benschneider,
Cluts, John Claymiller, Adam
Taylor, Jennifer and Rylee
Zartman, Jeremy Dunderman,
Doug and Vicky Etzler,
Alyssa Jackson, Ashley
Litzenberg, Denise Smith,
Brian and Kristy Vest,
Kaleigh Young, Myra
Zartman and Russ Zinser.
Entrance fee for the entire
weekend is $3 for adults, $2
for students and children not
in school are free. In addition,
refreshments will be available
for sale all weekend.
The total, with updated in-
terest plus legal fees, order of
sale, deed transfer and other
costs, was $14,784.92. A
question was asked about
who would be responsible for
installing a new sidewalk. It
will be the new owners re-
sponsibility.
Landers requested an
opening bid for that amount,
but had no takers.
The property will be put up
for auction again at 10:15
a.m. Thursday, March 21 at
the courthouse.

Several filings made in Manor House suit
By DENISE GEBERS
Progress Staff Writer
PAULDING Two judgment en-
tries were filed last week concerning
Antwerp Holdings LLCs law suit
against several parties involved with
the Manor House Assisted Living
Ltd. complex.
Remaining unresolved issues are
to be considered at a hearing on
Thursday, May 23.
Judge Tiffany Reighter Beckman
ordered a $579,245.63 summary
judgment in favor of the plaintiff
against defendant TDM3 Ltd. This
covered back rent for the property
with three percent prejudgment inter-
est plus $50,298.50 in attorneys fees.
This judgment, ordered Tuesday,
March 5, was filed with the clerk on
Thursday, March 7.
On Friday, March 8, a second
judgment entry was filed with the
clerk and had been signed the same
day. This entry concerned the tangi-
ble personal property at the complex.
Judge Reighter Beckman deemed
that all tangible personal property lo-
cated at 204 Archer Drive and 305
Woodcox Drive, Antwerp (the
Manor House and Essen House facil-
ities), is to remain at those locations.
All of the suits parties, their em-
ployees, successors and assigns were
restrained from removing any of
the property, including that included
on an exhibit list, per current or fu-
ture orders of the Court.
Property listed as Exhibit AA was
approved for sale to Vancrest of
Antwerp LLC for the sum of
$44,390 on two conditions: that relief
or consent for the action is obtained
from bankruptcy court; and that the
$44,390, most of which will be paid
to Richland Bank, will release the
personal property in question from
lien obligation and with the remain-
der paying receivership fees.
Successful sale of these assets will
grant Vancrest free and clear owner-
ship of the same.
Vancrest is the new operator of the
assisted living and restaurant facili-
ties in Antwerp, beginning March 1
by contract with Antwerp Holdings
LLC.
Before the hearing, Antwerp
Holdings waived ownership/lien
rights to the property, all defendants
expressed no objection to the sale but
did not specifically consent be-
cause of potential bankruptcy is-
sues.
Defendants Louis Lengacher,
Mary Lengacher and TDM3 Ltd. are
having a pending bankruptcy in Fort
Wayne transformed from a Chapter
11 to Chapter 7 proceeding. Vancrest
and Antwerp Holdings agreed to
clarify said sale issues with the
Lengacher Bankruptcy Court to ob-
tain relief from stay.
Ownership of all tangible personal
property at the two businesses, but
not listed on Exhibit AA, will be de-
termined at the May hearing.
Other pending matters could in-
clude actions requested by Antwerp
Holdings in their response to the re-
ceivers first account and report.
Among the requests is to order Louis
Lengacher to repay $55,996.05 to the
receiver because he withdrew and
paid out funds without receiver or
court approval (Antwerp Holdings
believes that these expenditures were
made to finance and pay for the de-
velopment of an assisted living facil-
ity in Van Wert, Ohio.).

The Amish Cook
By: Lovina Eicher
So, it was with a real sense
of intrigue that I listened to
several production companies
that approached me last sum-
mer about developing a TV se-
ries based on my Amish
experiences.
Ive been writing about the
Amish my whole adult life, but
I wanted, at least for a month
or two, to live like the Amish.
Not to become Amish, that ship
has sailed, but to live like them
for awhile and then go back to
my day job hopefully pro-
foundly and spiritually re-
freshed by the experience.
I have many Amish friends
who would take me in, but me
and a TV crew? That was the
challenge.
So I undertook a months-
long journey which I made at
the production companys be-
hest and my own expense.
In the end, I did find some
Amish families willing to take
me in and open their homes to
TV crews. None of us were
doing it for the pay (reality TV
pay is paltry unless your name
is Snookie), although I will
admit the exposure this would
give my work, would put The
Amish Cook column on sound
ground forever and that was
appealing.
I dont think a program
about the Amish need be a
staid, somber boring documen-
tary, but it doesnt have to fit
the shout-filled cookie cutter
reality-show mold either.
Why dont you decide by
watching the clip yourself?

By Kevin Williams
Amish Cook editor
Lovina will be back next
week.
Oh you shouldnt have
done that.
Why not? I asked quizzi-
cally.
Because Ill move here and
take this piece and then this
one, the Amish man said with
a hearty laugh, eyes twinkling
and prominent white beard
casting a shadow over the well-
worn board.
I should have known better
than to challenge a champion
checker player to a match. He
creamed me in three straight
games, before we headed out
into the beautiful Holmes
County countryside for a great
lunch and conversation.
Youll find someone for
your show, Im sure of it, the
70-year-old Amish man said
when we parted ways. And
youre welcome to stay here
any time.
Television, lately, has had an
itch for the Amish. So, theyve
scratched it with shows that
have become wildly popular
like Discovery Channels
Amish Mafia and TLCs
Breaking Amish. Television
has stumbled upon what so
many would-be novelists have
discovered and that is to put a
bonnet or beard on it and it
sells.
Im not sure, however, if
such shows are the way to go
about it. It is not that TV and
the Amish, if done right, are to-
tally incompatible.

Preschoolers
play bookmobile
Dear Editor,
We here in the Village of
Latty really appreciate being a
stop for the Paulding County
Carnegie Library Bookmo-
bile. The creative minds and
artistic hands of Kathy Hef-
fley and Tawnya English
make a visit to the bookmo-
bile a truly enjoyable experi-
ence.
Just recently, they posted
the attached story [below] on
their Facebook page and the
story went viral. It even got a
like from the country of
Hungary.
Just thought youd like to
know our bookmobile is
making news around the
world!
Kay Miller
Clerk-Treasurer
Village of Latty
I wanna be a bookmobile
lady!
We were at Little Harvest
preschool, finished our story-
time with them and we were
checking out their books. I scan
the books, Tawnya stamps their
hands so we can track who has
been thru the line and if we
have the same number of books
checked out as kids on board.
One little girl told me she
had a scanner at home and she
scans books. I thought she was
kidding so I asked if besides
books, she scanned walls, re-
frigerators, the dog, her baby
brother, etc. Her teacher, who
was standing nearby, backed
her story up. She explained,
during free time the children
often pretend they are librari-
ans. They have a grocery store
play-set (battery operated for
bells, whistles and lights) that
includes a scanner. They scan
each others books and pretend
they are on the bookmobile.
We had to see this, so we
went into the school and took
pictures of them pretending to
be us.
What do you want to be
when you grow up? A BOOK-
MOBILE LADY Great
choice!

In My Opinion
Please dont
take my hour
This past weekend I lost something very valuable to me. I
guess you could say I lost it, but actually it was snatched
away in the middle of the night and there wasnt anything I
could do about it. What I lost was something we all lost; it
was one hour. That magical time in the early spring when on
a very early Sunday morning at 2 a.m., like a hidden thief,
the clock springs forward one
hour and it becomes 3 a.m.
I know its just an hour and
I know we get it back in the
fall, but there is something
about losing it that I dont
like. Maybe its the idea of
getting less sleep on that par-
ticular Saturday night. Ive
tried going to bed an hour earlier to help make up for the
hour I will have taken from me, but it doesnt seem to work.
Or maybe its the idea of getting used to the morning when
the sun rises earlier or is it later?
And, in the evening when the sun sets later, or is it earlier?
You see, its confusing. Why do I have to wait for seven
months to get my hour back?
Before moving back to the area, I lived in southern Indi-
ana. I lived just north of Evansville and the local newspaper I
worked for at the time was in one time zone and the high
school and its sports teams I covered were in a different time
zone. When we moved our clocks forward or back, we all
did, and so everyone had to deal with the hour difference. It
was only an hour difference, but a big difference it was.
If I went to a cover the high school football game and the
kick-off was at 7 p.m., then it would be 8 p.m. my time and
the game ended at 10:30. Following a couple of interviews
and it would be midnight when I got home. There were times
when the two opposing teams lived in opposite time zones
and they would split the difference and play at 7:30.
To say the least, it kept you guessing. There were times I
thought I knew when the game would kick off only to find
out after I parked in the school lot there was eight minutes
remaining in the first quarter. Its amazing how time, even as
little as an hour, can be so important.
Thankfully, I do not have the time zone issue here in
Paulding County or within the Ohio, Indiana, Michigan state
lines. We still lose that hour whether we are a Buckeye,
Hoosier, or Michigander and I dont want to give it up. But,
there isnt much we can do about it.
Oh, every year you hear the politicians talking about a
change, but obviously it hasnt happened. They just keep tak-
ing our hour away in the spring. So, I guess its up to me to
come up with a change that will benefit me. Im not sure
what it is, but maybe I will think of something by Nov. 9
when we fall back and experience 25 hours in the day.
Therefore, this is my simple opinion. Those who think
they need to mess with the clock and with the time should
just leave it alone. Theres something about 24 hours in a day
that sounds right. Not 23 hours! Not 25 hours!

SOUP SUPPER
Ohio a great example of
agricultures importance
Anyone who watched this years Super
Bowl probably saw the inspirational commer-
cial with the late, great Paul Harvey explain-
ing all the reasons why God
made a farmer. Even if you
didnt watch the game, you
have likely since seen the ad.
As Ohios number-one in-
dustry, there is no disputing
the vitally important role that
agriculture has in our state. As
of last year, there were nearly
75,000 farms in Ohio. Nearly
90 percent of these farms are
owned by families or individ-
uals. So while agriculture is a
major driver of our economy,
it is also an industry that
unites families and friends and reminds us of
our history.
March 10-16 is Ohio Agriculture Week, a
time when we recognize the agricultural in-
dustry, which employs one in seven Ohioans.
I think this is an appropriate time to pay tribute
to farmers because, in just a couple weeks, we
will see many of them in the fields and prepar-
ing for the planting season.
After being elected to the Ohio House of
Representatives, I was sincerely honored to be
appointed to the House Agriculture and Natu-
ral Resources Committee. Agriculture is vital
to the economy in Northwest Ohio, and it is
my privilege to serve on behalf of so many
hardworking people in the 82nd District.
The men and women working alongside me
on this committee are also committed to sup-
porting farmers and other ag-related workers.
Before each planting season,
many farmers seek to finance
their operating costs by taking
out loans. During the previous
General Assembly, the House
introduced a bill that reduced
the interest rates for farmers
on loans or credit lines ap-
proved by banks and other
lenders.
The bill which updated
what is known as the Ag-
LINK Deposit Program in-
creased the maximum loan
amount that a farmer could
withdraw from $100,000 to $150,000. Addi-
tionally, it increased from $125 million to
$165 million the amount of money that the
State Treasurer can invest in lending institu-
tions that lend money to farmers. This action
made it easier for agriculture-related industries
to increase investment in their businesses.
As we inch closer to spring, I anticipate other
bills to be taken up before the committee and the
House that will impact farming and other indus-
tries that strengthen Ohios economy.

March is Developmental Disabilities Month
On Jan. 30, a proclamation
from the Paulding County
commissioners office was is-
sued in regards to March 2013
being Developmental Disabil-
ities Month.
The proclamation issued is
as follows:
Whereas, Disabilities are a
natural part of the human expe-
rience; and
Whereas, Developmental
disabilities in Paulding County
affect the lives of many fami-
lies, and
Whereas, Everyone wins
when people with develop-
mental disabilities receive the
support and opportunities they
need to be contributing mem-
bers of their communities, and
Whereas, The abilities of
people with developmental dis-
abilities have been traditionally
and systemically undervalued;
and
Whereas, Public attitudes are
the biggest barrier to full com-
munity integration and inclu-
sion of people with
developmental disabilities, and
Whereas, Public awareness
about developmental disabili-
ties promotes acceptance and
understanding, while decreas-
ing prejudice and misconcep-
tion.
Now, Therefore, We, the
Paulding County Board of
Commissioners, Paulding,
Ohio do hereby proclaim the
month of March, 2013 as De-
velopmental Disabilities
Awareness Month in Paulding

tions to their communities.

know someone with a disability.

something to offer. Look Be-

PCH board approves
medical staff officers
By BILL SHERRY
Correspondent
PAULDING The Paulding County Hospi-
tal (PCH) Board of Trustees met on March 7.
The board meeting followed a short executive
session.
The PCH medical staff officers were ap-
proved by the board with Dr. vandenBerg
holding the position of chief of staff for the
upcoming year with Dr. Halachanova holding
the position of vice chair and Dr. Gray in the
position of secretary/treasurer.
Chief Executive Officer Gary Adkins re-
ported that the sequestration has started and
the effect is a 2% across-the-board cut to
Medicare reimbursements per year for the
next 10 years. Adkins stated that this translates
into about $150,000 per year less revenue for
PCH or $1.5 million less in revenues over the
lifetime of sequestration.
Adkins also commented that Governor Ka-
sich has presented Medicaid expansion that
would result in approximately a $60,000 in-
crease in Medicaid revenues per year. This ex-
pansion means that more uninsured or under
insured people will now be eligible for Medi-
caid.
The 2012 financial statement audit was pre-
sented to the hospital board. The accounting
staff was commended for their exceptionally
good accounting practices. There were no
audit adjustments and all the PCH spending
trends were going in the right direction.
It was noted that the PCH is debt-free,
which is not the case with most hospitals in
todays economy.
This financial statement is available to the
public by contacting the hospital administra-
tive offices.
Dr. Ahmed has started a medical obesity
clinic which will be operated from his medical
office. This is a professional medical office
that specializes in the care and treatment of
obesity. There are currently 14 hospital em-
ployees undergoing a 12-week pilot program
under Dr. Ahmeds direction. For more infor-
mation on this service, call 419 399-1745.
The quality improvement committee was
presented with the quarterly quality improve-
ment report, the legal compliance audit for the
fourth quarter 2012 and the fourth quarter pa-
tient satisfaction report.
Chief Financial Officer Rob Goshia re-
ported that for the month of January, PCH re-
alized a gain of $16,780.
Goshia also told the board that the ICD-10
coding will be going live on Oct. 1. This is a
federally mandated code update that expands
the available codes from 13,000 medical codes
to 68,000.
Chief Operating Officer Randy Ruge told
the board that the hospital staff had performed
well in response to the recent accident on US
24.
The next board meeting is scheduled for
6:45 p.m. April 4.

A Penny For
Your Thoughts....
By: Nancy Whitaker
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
Most of us here at the office
are organized; at least we think
we are. When it comes to our
desks and work stations, it is
pretty much up to each of us as
to what we want on and in our
desks.
Of course there are the neces-
sities we have such as paper
clips, rulers, tape, scissors and
rubber bands. Personally, I like
keeping those items out on my
desk, so I can have quicker ac-
cess to them.
Of course, there is the phone,
computer, and file folders on
my desk which are items I use
every day. I also see business
cards, pens, pencils and a sta-
pler. So far so good.
However, sometimes just the
items necessary to do our jobs
may not include everything
needed throughout the day.
I am thinking of special
emergency supplies. I have
been known to either lose a but-
ton or rip my britches and need
a needle and thread.
Now, I am not a seamstress,
so a needle and thread is the last
thing you would find on my
desk or even in my purse. How-
ever, I know one of us happens
to have sewing equipment in
their purse and can come to the
rescue. Whew!
I am thinking of the old TV
show, Lets Make a Deal. Re-
member how they would ask
people in the audience if they
had a boiled egg in their purse?
Nobody here has an egg in their
purse, but each one of us have
our own emergency things.
One of my basic emergency
supplies is chocolate. If I feel a
drop in my energy level, I start
looking for chocolate. Trust me,
if I dont have any, someone
will. It has been said that choco-
late can help people, especially
women feel better emotionally
and give us that much needed
lift in the middle of the day.
So chocolate in one form or
another is one of my guilty
emergency supplies. It may just
be a cup of hot chocolate, but it
is definitely a part of my inven-
tory. Shhhh. Dont tell.
Another item which came in
handy for two coworkers was a
little flashlight key chain. It was
a memento that said Paulding
Progress on it and was some-
thing we were going to give
away as a keepsake. In fact, we
had just got them in.
During last summers severe
storm the gals were still here at
the office when the storm
struck. Trees were getting
blown down and the power
went off. It was pitch black in-
side.
One gal used her cell phone
for a light to get down the hall-
way to find the little flashlight
on one of their desks. Normally,
there is not flashlights in our in-
ventory, but thankfully that day
we had them.
Kleenex is another supply
that I never have. They are not
something I use every day day,
but when I have a cold, I have
been known to grab a couple
out of my co-workers emer-
gency supply.
Some days you will hear the
call out, Does anyone here
have a Tylenol?
We all scramble around and
check. One will say, Nope, I
just have aspirin. Another will
say, Wait a minute. I do have
some. How many do you
need?
Sometimes, if we dont have
time or it is too nasty to go out
for lunch, we will eat here. That
is where the extra straws, plastic
wear, napkins and salt and pep-
per always comes in handy. So
it is not unusual for one of us to
save things like that just in case.
One item I do have here on
my desk is a little sample bottle
of Crown Royal. It was given to
me by a friend at a conference
about five years ago. It remains
unopened, but maybe the day I
retire, I will break the seal on it
and we can all have an emer-
gency whiff.
We spend a lot of time at our
workstations and our jobs.
However, it is very comforting
to know that, We are ready and
prepared for anything.
I mean we have chocolate, a
flashlight, needle and thread,
Tylenol and a sample bottle of
Crown Royal. Who could ask
for anything more?
Do you ever stash items in
your purse or desk? Do you
have chocolate around to make
you fell better? Let me know
and Ill give you a Penny for
Your Thoughts.

OSU Extension educator
American consumers have
become more health con-
scious about the food they
eat. To meet consumer needs
and concerns, livestock qual-
ity assurance programs are
being implemented. These
programs are designed to ed-
ucate producers in manage-
ment and production
techniques that improve food
quality and safety, encourage
high industry standards and
boost consumer confidence.
The youth quality assur-
ance program introduces
youths to the responsibilities
associated with food animal
production and teaches skills
necessary to produce a safe
and wholesome food. Interac-
tive lessons on animal man-
agement techniques and
practice in ethical decision-
making related to food animal
production are included.
Program results indicate
participants gain skills in an-
imal management techniques
and the youths opinions
about consumer expectations
have been positively influ-
enced.
Furthermore, the program
provides a successful model
for including character educa-
tion with subject matter edu-
cation.
When young producers
begin a project where the
final product is food, they
also assume a legal and moral
obligation to produce a qual-
ity, wholesome and safe prod-
uct for consumers. It is
critical that young producers
are consciously aware of
these responsibilities and un-
derstand their implications.
Only with such an under-
standing will they adopt prac-
tices and procedures that
allow them to fulfill their ob-
ligations to consumers.
Because of a desire to in-
still this understanding in
youths, quality assurance ed-
ucation has become a major
focus for our fair livestock
exhibitors. As youths learn to
implement quality assurance
practices, they will develop
an awareness and skills that
will affect their current proj-
ects. In addition, they will de-
velop an appreciation for
food safety and responsibility
that will form the foundation
for their future contributions
as producers and consumers.
To educate our youths on
the importance, value and
promotion of a wholesome
food product, two Paulding
County Quality Assurance
programs have been sched-
uled. The first program is
scheduled for Thursday
evening, March 21, from 6-8
p.m. and a second program
will be held on Saturday
morning, March 23 from 9-11
a.m. Both programs will be
held in the OSU Extension
building.
Youths and their parent or
guardian must attend a Qual-
ity Assurance program before
they can exhibit their animal
in a junior livestock show
sponsored by the county agri-
cultural society.
Remember, we are produc-
ing a product that demands
quality and is safe for con-
sumption.
Livestock Quality Assurance is
important for junior fair exhibitors

ACDC to hold wine, cheese event
By JOE SHOUSE
Correspondent
ANTWERP Those who enjoy a variety of
wine and cheese and at the same time appre-
ciate the opportunity to support the local com-
munity will want to make plans to attend the
first ever wine and cheese event sponsored by
the Antwerp Community Development Com-
mittee (ACDC).
The evening social will be held at 7:30 p.m.
Saturday, March 30 at Grants Reception Hall.
Event coordinator and ACDC treasurer
Aimee Lichty said, This event will be a fun
social evening with family and friends, while
enjoying eight different wines and cheese as
well as a chocolate fountain and dessert bar.
Tickets are on sale now for $20 until March
15 at Leland Smith Insurance Agency
(Antwerp Branch), Antwerp Norfolk & West-
ern Depot (Antwerp) and Aimee Lichty.
On March 16, tickets will still be available
but the price will increase to $30. For more in-
formation or to purchase tickets, please call
Aimee at 419-506-1228.
The Antwerp Community Development
Committee has been in existence for nearly
ten years and is made up of a 12 member
board. The nonprofit organization raises
money with events such as the Cleveland
Street Rib Fest, Paint the Town pink, and this
years Wine and Cheese event, to name a few.
We are about Antwerp and trying to benefit
our community by making it a better place to
call home, said Lichty.
Some of the recent projects the committee
has done or supported include the purchase
and placement of the Welcome to Antwerp
signs, various kinds of seasonal banners and
flags that hang throughout the year from the
historical light posts downtown, various beau-
tification projects, supporting the Rotary Club
with funds for trees to be planted in the park,
and the support of the Antwerp alumni event
held every three years.
Because ACDC is community-minded, they
also support the local Eagle Scouts, Antwerp
Ball Association, and the Antwerp Commu-
nity Band.
Whatever we can do to promote our com-
munity and bring people to Antwerp thats
what we want to do, said Lichty.
Grants Catering is located at 503 E. Canal
St., just outside of Antwerp.

QUESTION: I lost my arm
in a heavy equipment acci-
dent recently. Im not deal-
ing well with it, and Im
concerned about the major
adjustments this means not
only for me, but also for my
family.
JIM: Were so sorry to learn
of your injury. Youre right:
This will mean adjustments
for you and your family. But
that doesnt mean you cant
live life to the fullest.
Our counseling team rec-
ommends six things you can
do as you learn to live with
your new normal:
Educate yourself about
your condition.
Recognize your limits and
learn to say no.
Accept help from others.
Build fun into your life.
Focus your physical and
emotional resources on those
things that matter most.
Share your gifts and tal-
ents with others.
In addition, marriage and
family therapist Deborah B.
Dunn recommends that mar-
ried couples facing an injury
of this nature find a third
party outside of the family
who is supportive and en-
couraging and who can help
them process the event.
She also recommends
being honest with children
about the realities of the in-
jury. Theres no need to be
graphic, but dont try to sug-
arcoat what has happened.
There are several organiza-
tions that can offer you addi-
tional encouragement and
resources. These include Rest
Ministries, Joni and Friends,
and Endurance With Jan and
Dave Dravecky.
In addition, if you think it
would be helpful, feel free to
contact Focus on the Family
for a free consultation with
one of our licensed coun-
selors and a referral to a
counselor in your area. God
bless you and your family!
QUESTION: My husband
works hard and I appreci-
ate that, but he doesnt help
out at home. Im physically
and emotionally exhausted
and the situation feels un-
fair (to me and to the chil-
dren). How can I get him to
understand the importance
of helping me and of spend-
ing time with the kids?
Dr. Greg Smalley, execu-
tive director of Marriage
and Family Formation: In
my years of marriage coun-
seling, Ive discovered that
emotional word pictures can
be powerful tools for getting
your message across.
An emotional word picture
involves using either an ob-
ject or a story to express your
feelings. This simultaneously
activates a persons emotions
and intellect; its a fancy
name for an analogy or para-
ble. The key to crafting a po-
tent word picture is
identifying things your hus-
band is interested in.
It sounds like you want to
communicate several things
to him; (1) the importance of
helping you with housework,
(2) the importance of spend-
ing time with the kids, (3) that
you feel the situation is un-
fair and (4) that you feel
exhausted.
For the sake of illustration,
lets assume that the most
pressing issue is the need for
him to understand the impor-
tance of helping around the
house. And again, for illustra-
tion, lets say hes interested
in fighter planes.
You could say something
like this, Managing the
housework makes me feel
like Im a fighter pilot whose
jet has been riddled with bul-
lets and can barely fly. But to
win the war, we really need
my jet flying at full strength.
When you help me with
the kids and the housework, I
feel like youre a dedicated
ground crew, working over-
time to bring me back to full
strength and getting me ready
to soar into battle again. It
makes me feel like were a
team and that you value me
enough to help me recover
from battle. I need my excel-
lent ground crew because I
cant fight without you.
Of course, your illustration
may be different depending
on your husbands interests. It
may seem far-fetched, but
Ive seen it work time and
again. Emotional word pic-
tures can help get your mes-
sage across!

Winning the Battle for a Generation
By Rick Jones
exec. director, Defiance
Area Youth for Christ
After life here, are you ready for life hereafter?
Frank Pastore was a major-league baseball
pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds, Minnesota Twins
and Texas Rangers. After an injury to his elbow
ended his pro career, he devoted his life to
preaching and Christian apologetics.
He was the host of a very popular Christian
talk show in Los Angeles. On Nov. 12, 2012, he
was involved in a serious motorcycle accident
and passed away on Dec. 7.
A few hours before he was in the accident, he
said this on his radio show, Isnt it interesting
that secular science is addressing the question,
Does man have a soul? Is there such a thing as
immaterial reality? And, its couched in the cat-
egory of is there life after death?
I mean, look, you guys know I ride a motor-
cycle, dont you? So, at any moment, especially
with the idiot people who cross the diamond lane
into my lane, alright, without any blinkers, not
that Im angry about it, but at any minute I could
be spread out all over the 210 (freeway), but
thats not me, thats my body parts.
That key distinction undergirds the entire
Judeo-Christian worldview and also your pursuit
of reality.
The scriptures are filled with warnings; that
life is eternal, that the soul that sins, it shall die,
that we shall give an account of every idle word,
that the way we lived our life on earth will be
cross-examined in our presence by our maker in
the afterlife.
In other words, after life, there is afterlife; after
our physical death, there is eternity; our souls are
in the hands of God Almighty.
Such a sober reminder ought to give us all fur-
ther reflection on our preparation for such a day
of reckoning. The writer of Hebrews put it this
way, Hebrews 9:27 (KJV), And as it is appointed
unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.

WATER PLANT PROGRESSES The outside of the new Paulding water plant building is finished. Ninety-eight percent of the
work going on at the new water plant is inside. Most all of the large micro-filtering, reverse osmosis (RO), pumps and support
equipment have been installed. Soon, GE will be in to start up the micro-filters, and Wiggins will be in to start up the RO equipment.
All the massive amount of mechanical and large PVC piping is being installed in the process area. Most all of the electrical conduit
is in place and the electrician is pulling miles and miles of wire in. The drywall and plastering are done in the administration area
and the painting contractor has a good start. The computerized operation of the plant, called PLC and SCADA, is well under way.
The anticipated completion of the project is July 26. The estimated cost is around $10 million.

The Paulding County Area Foundation/Marshall Memorial Supporting Foundation recently presented
a $10,000 check to the Paulding County Senior Fair Board to be used for capital improvements on the
Paulding County Fairgrounds. The Marshall Memorial Supporting Foundation was set up to administer
the funds provided by Paul Marshall. His desire was to financially encourage, aid, assist and promote
young farmers in Paulding County. From left are Lisa McClure, Paulding County Area Foundation/Mar-
shall Memorial Supporting Foundation, and senior fair board members Tim Shafer, Susie Miller, Daniel
Howell, Lonnie Miller, Mike Molitor and Larry Colley.
The Kiwanis Club of Paulding has pledged $10,000 toward the Herb Monroe Community Park.
The park will be located at the corner of Main and Jackson in downtown Paulding. The Paulding
Chambers Leadership In Action (LIA) class is trying raise $100,000 to create a beautiful green
space. The park is named after longtime Kiwanis member, Herb Monroe. The Kiwanis Club, a very
community-oriented organization, felt compelled to make such a large contribution in his honor.
From left are LIA class members Stephanie Lorentz and Lisa McClure, Kiwanis president Judge
Tiffany Beckman and Kiwanis treasurer Stan Searing.

Genealogical society learns more
about Black Swamp pioneers
If you missed the February meeting of the
Paulding County Chapter of the Ohio Ge-
nealogical Society, it was quite interesting.
The introduction began with a DVD of The
Story of the Great Black Swamp. Viewers
learned that Paulding County is completely
within the Black Swamp region, providing this
area with the richest and most productive farm
land in the country.
The narrator told of the terrible conditions
facing our ancestors while homesteading the
swamplands. These pioneers cleared paths and
built roads of logs, planks or used anything
they hoped wouldnt be swallowed up by the
mud lurking just below the surface. Settlers
soon learned all their efforts returned back into
swampland, thus the need to rebuild again.
Most roads became impassible in less than a
year. Horseflies, mosquitoes and snakes were
only a few obstacles to overcome in such atro-
cious conditions.
For anyone who hasnt seen this documen-
tary movie, it is available at local libraries.
The county libraries also offer a DVD titled
1978 Blizzard. Many people still shutter just
being reminded of that January.
PCCOGSs goal is to recognize early pio-
neer ancestors who might have cleared the
well-forested land, who may have built their
first homes and who could have raised their
families in Paulding County by 1913 or ear-
lier.
Join the public meetings, held the second
Wednesday of each month through May at
6:30 p.m. at the Paulding County Library
ground level meeting room. They will begin
again in August through November.
Here are the last 19 names of the 2012
Charter Century Families beginning with
number 51 on the list: Phyllis Porter, Robert Tay-
lor, Diana Allensworth, Joan Pier, Amy Ross-
wurm, Constance Dobbelaere, Patricia Spitnale,
Scott Spitnale, Julie Mast, Rachel Ousley, Roger
Taylor, Diana Coy, Matthew Coy, Jonathan Coy,
Martin Coy, James Mansfield, Brian Mansfield,
Steven Mansfield and Robert Bryan. This com-
pletes the 69 members.
If your ancestors were living in Paulding
County by Dec. 31, 1913, ask for an application
to be included as a 2013 Century Family mem-
ber. Or, for those ancestors living here by Dec.
31, 1880, as a First Families member. These pi-
oneers do not need to be born in Ohio, but ap-
plicants must show proof of being a Paulding
County resident.
For applications, please contact Ray Keck at
419-399-4415 or Karen Sanders at

Sportswriter
While many students play
several sports during their
high school days, senior
Kaleigh Young, who attends
Wayne Trace, is a one-sport
athlete. With the winter sports
season at an end, its time to
move outside and begin the
spring sports. For Young, it
softball its all about soft-
ball, and she is ready and ex-
cited about the upcoming
season.
The daughter of Brian and
Beth Young, Kaleigh, along
with her twin brother, Dale,
and older sister, Courtney,
live in Payne. Kaleigh carries
a 3.75 GPA and is a member
of the National Honor Society
and student council. Outside
of school, she serves her
community as a committee
member for the annual Play-
ing for those who cant fund
raiser. The polite, easy going
student athlete is the class
president and spoke with sin-
cerity and confidence while
expressing herself with few
words.
Softball has been a part of
Kaleighs life since the early
T-ball days as a youngster.
She has progressed through
the ranks and is now ready to
start her senior year as a start-
ing pitcher for first-year head
coach Jack Brumle and the
Lady Raiders.
Being a pitcher has always
been Kaleighs position on
the field after attending a
clinic as a preteen.
I really enjoy playing soft-
ball and I went to a pitching
clinic when I was 10 years
old and that was the begin-
ning of my career as a
pitcher, she said.
As a freshman, Kaleigh
was a member of the varsity
softball team and received ex-
perience as a team member,
although her time on the field
was limited.
We had an all-state pitcher
in Marcie McDougal and
being only a freshman, I did
get to pitch some, but I also
played second base. It was
good to have someone like
Marcie who was older and I
could look up to and learn
from.
Playing time increased her
sophomore season, closing
out at 7-5 with an ERA of
2.25.
I pitched a majority of the
innings and received the most
improved player award, re-
marked Kaleigh.
Last year, as a junior, the
right-hander continued to
serve as the Lady Raiders
starting pitcher while lower-
ing her ERA to 2.16 and hit-
ting at a .264 clip. The
Raiders finished the season at
10-15 overall with Young
winning six and dropping
seven while picking up one
save.
Playing just one sport gives
Kaleigh the opportunity to
stay sharp year round in the
sport she enjoys. The team
has been practicing since Feb.
25 in preparation for the up-
coming spring season. For
Kaleigh, she has been work-
ing out with a pitching coach
since the conclusion of her
freshman year.
I work with a pitching
coach in Garrett, Ind., two
times a week from October
through February, and then
once a week throughout the
summer.
Having a coach to work
with has taught Kaleigh the
necessary fundamentals and
different types of pitches
while admitting that her curve
ball is her best throw.
Looking ahead to her final
season in a Lady Raider uni-
form, Kaleigh feels the team
will be decent.
We only lost one player
and we have three other good
pitchers. We will still be a lit-
tle young, but we will be
working hard for a Green
Meadows Conference title, a
winning record, and a deep
run in the tournament, said
the confident Lady Raider.
Looking back on her time
at Wayne Trace, Kaleigh who
is a person of few words, sim-
ply said, Its been good bit-
tersweet I will miss my
friends.
Her quietness may come
from the fact that her parents
are described the same way
according to their senior
daughter. They never miss
attending a softball game, but
for the most part, they dont
yell much. They are pretty
much quiet, but will occa-
sionally yell words of encour-
agement.
When describing what soft-
ball has taught her, Kaleigh
measured her words and said,
It has taught me good lead-
ership skills and I just enjoy
playing the game. The lead-
ership skills she has devel-
oped on the playing field and
the time and work she put
into the class room will cer-
tainly help prepare her for the
future.
After graduation, Kaleigh
plans to attend Indiana Tech
in Fort Wayne where she will
major in accounting.
I know thats where I am
going to school and I havent
ruled out the possibility of
playing softball, she said.
Kaleigh hopes to pursue a ca-
reer as a CPA. I like math
and I like to do my own
thing.
When she becomes a CPA
and is helping others with
making sound financial deci-
sions I am sure that even with
few words they will listen.
Just like on the field when the
opposing team experiences
few words but a nasty curve
ball.
Antwerp High School students will present the classic musical Oklahoma this weekend.
Antwerp presents Oklahoma
ANTWERP Antwerp High School will
present the musical Oklahoma at 7 p.m. on
Friday and Saturday, March 15-16 in the
school auditeria.
Tickets can be purchased in the high school
office or at the door prior to each performance.
Oklahoma is set in the Indian Territory
just after the turn of the century when cow-
boys and farmers were competing over fences
and water rights. Two more rivalries emerge
in the middle of that controversy. Curly, a
cowboy, and Jud, a hired hand, are both in
love with Laurey. The second involves Ado
Annie, Will and Ali Hakim, a trio that will pro-
vide plenty of laughs.
Aunt Eller and her niece, Laurey, own a
farm in Oklahoma. Curly and Laurey have a
secret love for each other, but they are too
frightened to admit their feelings for each
other. Curly asks Laurey to the box social at
the Skidmore Ranch that evening.
Meanwhile, Will Parker has just returned
from Kansas City and tells the locals about his
experience there. Will is passionately in love
with Ado Annie. Ado Annie cant decide if she
loves Will or a sweet-talking traveling sales-
man, Ali Hakim.
Curly is devastated to discover that Laurey
has asked Jud Fry, her menacing field hand, to
take her to the box social due to an argument
Laurey had with Curly. After her impetuous
decision, Laurey is afraid to be alone with Jud,
and she wishes she had not asked him.
The music and lyrics of Oklahoma by
Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II
are some of the best in musical theater with
songs that include Oh What a Beautiful
Morning, The Surrey with the Fringe on
Top, People Will Say Were in Love, I
Cant Say No, Oklahoma! and many more,
making this a musical treat for the entire fam-
ily.

Students at Paulding Elementary and Paulding Middle School recently competed in a contest
sponsored by Safe Routes to School during the month of February. Through the Safe Routes to
School grant, many books on pedestrian and bicycle safety were purchased for the school library.
Students chose one or more of these books, or a book of their own choice, and read the book.
The books chosen had to be on the topic of pedestrian or bicycle safety. Students names were
then placed in a drawing. The winners of the drawing are shown in the photograph above. The
students are, from left Brendan Weidenhamer, first grade; Shannon Hale, fifth grade; and Adrian
Daniels, seventh grade. Each student won a bicycle accessory. These students will also get their
names put into a drawing for a bicycle to be awarded in May.
Paulding to hold kindergarten round-up
Kindergarten Round-Up for Paulding Ele-
mentary will be held on March 26 at the school.
On this date there will be two sessions for chil-
dren who are eligible for kindergarten by being
5 years old by Aug. 1.
Students with last names A-I will come from
6-6:30 p.m. and students with last names M-Z
should come from 6:45-7:15 p.m. This will be
an enjoyable evening for the upcoming kinder-
gartners and their parents. An appointment is not
needed to attend the event.
At the round-up, information will be given to
parents during a parent meeting, while the chil-
dren enjoys guided activities in the gym. Parents
will also be given the opportunity to complete
paperwork for school registration. It is not nec-
essary to bring copies or forms to the round-up.
The necessary forms are to be brought to the
April kindergarten screening.
The screening dates are April 17-18 during the
school day. Parents unable to attend the round-
up should call the school office at 419-399-4656
to schedule a screening appointment.
It is hoped that all students who are eligible to
attend kindergarten in the fall will be able to at-
tend the round-up.

It takes a lot of hard work
for any high school athlete to
qualify for a state tournament
as an individual, something
only one Paulding County
freshman had ever accom-
plished in wrestling.
Wayne Traces George
Clemens became the second
freshman to do so this year and
was selected as the Paulding
County Progress 2012-13
Paulding County Wrestler of
the Year in voting by the
county coaches and media.
Clemens posted an impres-
sive record of 46-3 on the
season and set school records
in victories, consecutive wins
and best season winning per-
centage.
There has only been one
other freshman to accomplish
this in Paulding County,
noted Raider head coach
George Clemens. His goal is
to be a four-time state quali-
fier. Its pretty phenomenal
for him to be able to qualify
as a freshman.
The Raider frosh captured
individual championships at
the Arcadia Invitational, the
Lima Central Catholic Holi-
day tournament, Woodlan In-
vitational, Van Buren
Invitational, Thunderbird In-
vitational, Green Meadows
Conference tournament and
sectional tournament. He
also took third at the district
tournament to punch his
ticket to the state tournament.
He improved in all facets
of wrestling this year, con-
tinued the Raider head coach.
He starts working in April
and basically goes year
round, traveling to participate
with clubs at Wauseon and
His goal is to be a four-time state qualifier. Its pretty phenomenal for him to be
able to qualify as a freshman.

Archers run ends at district semifinals
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
NAPOLEON A 9-0 run
that started with 53 seconds
remaining in the second quar-
ter and continued into the
third was all Fayette needed
in establishing control in their
game with Antwerp to open
district play last Tuesday,
March 5. Trailing by as many
as seven in the opening eight
minutes of play the Eagles
turned things around in the
second half to post a 25-20
win.
In the low-scoring affair
that saw both teams each
score a single basket in the
first quarter, it was the
Archers who got the upper
hand in the second stanza.
Braeden Hormann connected
on a 3-point goal with 5:30
remaining while Noah
Ganger challenged the de-
fense for a 2-point goal on a
drive to the hoop to give the
Archers a 9-2 advantage.
Following a Fayette time-
out with 2:10 showing on the
clock, it was the Eagles who
responded in quick fashion.
Chandler Sanford drilled a
trey with 53 seconds remain-
ing and Cole Burkholder fol-
lowed with a basket to trim
the Archer lead to just two at
9-7. Both teams went to the
locker room with the momen-
tum shifted to the Eagles.
We got off to a really good
start, said Antwerp head
coach Scott McMichael. But
when we missed a couple of
shots gave up those five
points we gave Fayette some
life and they took advantage.
Antwerp opened the third
quarter with two turnovers on
their first two possessions
while Fayettes Logan Franks
and Cole Burkholder scored a
field goal each to take their
first lead at 11-9.
We played solid defense
with our zone, but once they
caught up and took the lead
we had to come out of our
zone and then we gave up a
couple of quick lay-ups, said
McMichael.
The Archers points in the
quarter came from sopho-
more Trenton Copsey, who
scored from close range along
with two free throws. With
the game tied at 13 each, San-
ford connected from long
range at the 1:17 mark to put
the Eagles on top for good,
16-13, heading into the final
period.
McMichael commented,
We had some good looks in
the second half, but we just
didnt shoot the ball well at
all.
After Burkholder and
Ganger traded baskets it was
again Burkholder who scored
with 2:10 remaining and the
Eagles with a five-point ad-
vantage. Two Ganger free
throws got the Archers to
within three at 20-17 but the
Archers would get no closer.
Fayette scored the next five
points from the free throw
line to build a 25-17 margin.
Smalley finished the Antwerp
scoring on a 3-pointer as time
expired.
Obviously we would have
liked to have continued to
play some more basketball,
but looking back we had a
good year. We fought injuries
all year long, but we stayed
together and put together a
little win streak at the end. I
was proud of how this team
responded, the coach con-
cluded.
Antwerp, which finished
the league at 3-4, ended its
season at 15-10 overall.

Poppies, potatoes and peas
In that order, plant them. Po-
tatoes on Good Friday, peas as
soon as you can work the soil,
but whats with the poppies,
you ask. Theyre a summer
flower, right? Right. But if you
dont sow the seeds now, you
might get a scant crop of
bloomers.
There are perennial poppies
Papaver orientale the big,
blowzy flowers you see some-
times along the ditch banks in
May. These you usually buy as
plants at the nursery, sitting
them carefully in your garden
because they hate to be moved,
and they come back every year.
Another perennial poppy we
can grow here are the Icelandic
poppies (Papaver nudicaule).
These are sweet little things
looking like the darling off-
spring of their Oriental cousins
and come in orange, white,
salmon, pink and yellow. As
perennials, these are short-
lived, most times only lasting
for a couple of years in the gar-
den, so allow them to self-seed
if you want them year to year.
Then there are the annual
ones, grown from seed Pa-
paver rhoeas or corn poppy
which Im advising you to
white, peach, mauve and the
deliciously rare strains that are
a pearly gray. Some of them
are bicolored. Shirley poppies
are a selected strain of the pas-
tel shades, but once in a while,
youll get a rogue red one.
Other annual poppies are
called breadseed poppies (Pa-
paver somniferum) and their
seeds are the ones you eat in
things like lemon poppy seed
muffins and poppy seed salad
dressing. These are stunning in
their bold colors of orange, red,
purple, pink, with an especially
lovely bicolored one called
Danish Flag.
Yes, P. somniferum are
opium poppies, and there are
laws against growing them in
the US, due to the potential for
extracting opium from them.
However, seed sales are legal
and they are commonly found
on the seed racks and for sale
by countless seed sources. The
opium and morphine contained
in their seeds practically disap-
pears within 10 days after the
bloom opens and before seeds
are harvested.
As long as youre only
growing a small number as or-
namentals and not an acre of
plant now. Be quick about it,
because poppies require a pe-
riod of cold (called stratifica-
tion) in order to germinate. You
could have sprinkled the seed
in the garden in January for that
matter. If you grew them last
year and let them go to seed,
youre all set, because theyre
prolific self-seeders.
Some annual poppies in this
species are called Shirley pop-
pies, so named for the village
in England where they were
first discovered in the late
1800s. The blooms dont get
quite as large as the Oriental
poppy blooms, but they have
all that crepe-papery goodness
in colors such as orange, pink,
them, its not likely to cause a
problem. (No recreation of that
memorable scene in The Wiz-
ard of Oz allowed.) Ill do the
responsible thing here and ad-
vise you to grow them at your
own risk.
Poppy seeds need light to
germinate, so to plant them, just
sprinkle over soil thats been
lightly tilled (or not tilled at all).
They do better in poor soil, so
dont overly amend the area
with compost or other nutrients
where you want to plant them.
Like all poppies, they de-
mand good drainage. Its best to
sprinkle seeds liberally, even
planting three to four times as
many as you think youll need,
because like us, the birds think
theyre tasty, too.

These poppies can be found growing along a ditch bank in
southern Paulding County in May.
