PAULDING Two teens were transported
by air ambulance and a third by EMS from the
scene of a single-car crash on Road 111 east of
Paulding, in Jackson Township on Thursday,
May 1.
Troopers with the Ohio State Highway
Patrols Van Wert Post are investigating this se-
rious injury crash that occurred at 3:50 p.m.
A 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix, driven by
Thomas A. Lantow, 17, of Latty, was traveling
eastbound when the driver lost control of the
vehicle which struck a utility pole and over-
turned.
The driver and two passengers were all in-
jured in the crash.
The front seat passenger, Riley J. Bidlack,
16, of Paulding, was trapped in the vehicle and
removed by non-mechanical means. The rear
seat passenger, Jeremy J. Landwehr, 17, of
Cloverdale, was ejected.
The driver was taken by EMS to the Paulding
County Hospital. His passengers were both
flown by Samaritan to Parkview Regional
Hospital.
The utility pole, owned by AEP, was badly
damaged and power lines were down at the
scene. An AEP crew was on scene for several
hours restoring electric service to nearby resi-
dences.
Troopers were assisted on scene by the
Paulding Fire Department and EMS, Paulding
County Sheriffs Office, Paulding Police
Department, Samaritan, Paulding AEP and
Gideon Wrecker Service.
The crash remains under investigation.
Alcohol is not believed to be a factor in the
crash.
Seatbelts were not in use at the time of the
crash. Seatbelt use may have reduced injuries to
the occupants and driver, according to the Post.

OAKWOOD It was a
very emotional night at the
Paulding Exempted Village
School board meeting on
Tuesday, April 29. Oakwood
Elementary School hosted the
regular monthly meeting in the
cafeteria before a large crowd,
including two Fort Wayne tel-
evision stations. Barry Vance,
a graduate of PHS was given
his allotted time to share a
deep concern that he has been
dealing with since 1982 when
he was an eighth grader.
Vance stood before the
school board and superintend-
ent Bill Hanak and in detail
graphically explained how one
teacher allegedly attacked
him.
One day at school, the
eighth grade history teacher
locked the door to the paper
cutting room and wrestled me
to the floor and molested me,
said Vance. He went on to say,
I remember that day when I
came home a scared teenage
boy, who went to the bath-
room, cleaned myself up, and
then hid.
Vance, who is now 46 years
old, never had told his wife,
Dorrean, the details of his or-
deal and while he shared the
tragic events during the school
board meeting, she was hear-
ing it for the first time.
Vance, whose voice quiv-
ered as he paced back and
forth when speaking to the
school board, never once men-
tioned the teacher in question.
However, in a conversation
with Vance following the
board meeting, he said it was
Don Schnepp. The veteran
middle school teacher and
coach died in 2004.
Prior to the fateful day in
the paper cutting room,
Vance remarked how he had
been approached by Schnepp
on several occasions both in-
side as well as outside of the
school. He made the prom-
ise of money and even better
grades if allowed to make in-
appropriate advances and
each time I refused until the
day he overpowered me to

continued Zartman. We
want to make sure that the
team approves of who we
hire. Competency in team
play is essential for this de-
partment to become the suc-
cess we hope to have to im-
pact our county.
Klopfenstein emphasized
that the EMA is a resource-
based agency for disasters
and instant information.
It is important that the di-
rector communicates well
with all agencies, said
Klopfenstein. Emergency is
such a broad work, but is one
that often needs instant ac-
tion and communication.
Klopfenstein said that
among those leading traits
commissioners are looking
for in the EMA director are
effective communication as a
team player, professionalism
with the computer, effective-
ness in seeking and manag-
ing grants, good organization
skills and energetic motiva-
tional drive.
We understand that skills
will need to be taught to any-
one who comes on the job,
but you cant teach self-moti-
vational skills, said Zart -
man.
Until a final decision is
made, Paulding County
EMA needs will be met, by
agreement, with assistance
from Defiance, Van Wert and
Putnam counties and the
Paulding County Sheriffs
Office.
The commissioners job
description states that, the
primary purpose of this posi-
tion is to direct and manage
the EMA, plan and develop
the countywide emergency
management program and
coordinate the activities hav-
ing emergency management
responsibilities. This is an
unclassified position and
serves at the pleasure of the
Board of County Com mi -
ssioners.

County commissioners have
appointed a search commit-
tee to assist with the replace-
ment of EMA director Randy
Shaffer, who was relieved of
his duties on April 14.
Those individuals appoint-
ed to the committee are Bill
Edwards, health department;
Sheriff Jason Landers; Julie
Rittenhouse, Defiance
County EMA director; Gary
Adkins, Paulding County
Hospital; Bob Herber, Cecil
Fire Chief; Sue Crossland,
Paulding EMS coordinator
and Commissioner Roy
Klopfenstein.
Commissioner Tony
Zartman said that resums
will be accepted in the com-
missioners office until May
19. He noted that job de-
scriptions are available at the
office and resum informa-
tion will be available in the
Paulding Progress.
At this point in time we
have turned it over to the
search committee to evaluate
opportunities and schedule
interviews, observed Zart -
man. At some point in time
the committee will turn it
back over to the commis-
sioners.
Zartman noted that the
commissioners had 90 days
from the time that Shaffer
was relieved of his duties to
fill in the position, which is a
little under 70 days remain-
ing.
We decided to form a
committee because the EMA
office should interact with all
of the offices that are repre-
sented on the committee,
said Zartman. They should
decide who they feel they
would like to work with. The
director needs to interact
with all other departments.
This goes along with the
request to be a team player,

Feature Writer
Second of three-part series
dealing with issues of autism.
As childhood progressed for
the oldest son of John and
Cathy Ruiz, they began to rec-
ognize that he was a nonver-
bal child, capable of only
using two or three words at a
time.
It wasnt until he was
seven that he started commu-
nicating wants and needs,
said Cathy Ruiz. He had a lot
of meltdowns when he was
young because of the lack of
communication.
Eventually it was discov-
ered that Ruiz had allergies to
gluten and casein, an allergy
associated with milk con-
sumption. Once he was placed
on diets to correct those aller-
gies, it seemed to settle some
of his physical discomforts,
but it didnt change many of
the other manifestations of
what was going to become a
diagnosis for autism.
He was diagnosed with
autism when he was 4-1/2,
said Ruiz. He was given a
full-time aid to assist with
autism intervention until the
time when he reached junior
high.
Autistic kids are so visual.
Even though he couldnt speak
more than two or three words,
he learned the alphabet by
memorizing pictures on the
computer. By the time he was
so amazing that he graduated
from Wayne Trace High
School last spring with a 3.5
grade point average.
One problem that contin-
ues to plague the young man
is a severe fluency disorder. It
is very difficult for him to ar-
ticulate what he wants to ver-
balize.
However, he hasnt allowed
that to stop his communication
efforts. Instead, he has turned
to writing. His love for heroes
has driven him to write 26 sto-
ries with hero-type characters,
an accomplishment that ex-
cites him.
He is my hero, my inspira-
tion, said Ruiz. He has over-
come his disability with his
ability to succeed. At the be-
ginning when he was diag-
nosed, it changed our lives im-
mediately. But that wasnt
necessarily a bad thing.
When Im having a bad
day, I go in his room to talk to
him. Hes my breath of fresh
air, said Ruiz.
These days Ruiz is the par-
ent mentor and service coordi-
nator for Paulding County
Family and Children First
Council. She is also president
of the executive board for the
Ohio Coalition for the
Education of Children with
Disabilities.
Its because of him I do
what I do. I want to help other
families, said Ruiz. I want to
support parents who face chal-
lenges of a child with a dis-
ability. Its rewarding to know
if I even help one family.
The initial diagnosis is
overwhelming. At that mo-
ment, all of your hopes and
dreams come crashing down
on you, continued Ruiz.
As soon as possible, you
need to focus on the needs of
your child and find all you can
to support and intervene for
that child.
Its all about one day at a
time, one prayer at a time,
added Ruiz. Its overwhelm-
ing when a parent looks a long
ways down the road. We dont
know what is ahead; thats
why its so important to focus
on one day at a time.
2-1/2, he had memorized 125
computer words, continued
Ruiz. Once we found the diet
solution, we alleviated some
of the behaviors. He was a
sweet, loving person.
Ruiz said that with proper
intervention and modifica-
tions, he was able to attend
school where he progressed in
Ruiz noted that when their
son was born in 1994, three
out of 500 were diagnosed
with autism spectrum. These
days, that ratio is one in 88,
mainly because of the much
greater awareness and sensi-
tivity to the spectrum.
We are getting much more
of an awareness. There is
much more hope for parents
and families, observed Ruiz.
Wayne Trace did a beautiful
job going the second mile for
our son. His peers supported
him and understood him. The
entire team effort meant so
much.
Next weeks article will con-
clude with autism and society,
myths and opportunities.
the midst of his disability.
I cant emphasize how im-
portant early intervention is,
stressed Ruiz. It is so essen-
tial to start the intervention as
early as possible. He pro-
gressed through school to
graduation, with the help of an
aide to assist in some classes.
In fact, the progression was

the floor, said Vance.
After sharing the alleged de-
tails of the incident, Vance
asked the board to consider re-
moving the large memorial
rock that is near the middle
school entrance that honors
Schnepp.
I asked to have this re-
moved back in December and
it was rejected. Tonight, I
come to you asking you to
have a little consideration. Im
still the 14-year-old boy that
has lived with this for 32
years.
In his closing remarks to the
board, Vance told them how
everything was taken away
from him that day. When
asked why he now is coming
forward he said, After 32
years I just got so tired of hold-
ing it all inside. There are other
victims, at least two, and its
time for me to have peace and
closure.
The board did not comment
nor discuss Vances allegations
or request after he finished
speaking.
At the close of the meeting,
there was no comment from
the board as to what steps will
be taken or if the memorial
rock will be removed.
In a telephone interview
Wednesday morning, Hanak
said school officials have
made no decisions.
I feel horrible that anything
like this would happen to any
child. Theres no excuse. Its
sickening, he said.
Ive talked to (Vance) a
couple of times with this,
Hanak said. He has investigat-
ed information and names
Vance has given him. I cant
come up with anything to cor-
roborate what he said hap-
pened. ... Maybe out of all this,
someone else will come for-
ward.
Hanak added, I would lis-
ten to anything anyone wants
to say. There may be others out
there. Thats my job, to get to
the bottom of this.
Any information would be
kept confidential. The superin-
tendent may be reached at
419-399-4656 or by email at
w_hanak@docs . paul d-
ingschools.org.
Hanak noted that a commit-
tee has been meeting to dis-
cuss how to use a $280,000
bequest Schnepps late sister
left to the school in his memo-
ry for the benefit of the middle
school.
The memorial rock was pur-
chased by teachers; however,
the school board has the power
to remove it. Any such deci-
sion would come before the
board at a meeting.
Its a very delicate situa-
tion. It has to be handled with
sensitivity to do the right
thing, Hanak said.

The Amish Cook
By: Lovina Eicher
Yoder from Geneva, Ind. It was
so nice to see them again. It
brought back memories of the
Coblentz reunion we had every
year and all the fun we had to-
gether. Now its been quite a few
years, Im thinking 10 years, that
we couldnt attend the reunion.
It will be held in July again this
year and I am hoping we will all
get to attend. My Dad and his
three sisters: Aunt Frances, Aunt
Catherine and Aunt Betty have
all passed on and also Uncle
Melvins wife, Aunt Esther,
Uncle Joe (Frances) and Uncle
Emanauel (Catherine). It will
make a big difference to not
have all of them there but they
would want us to carry on.
Recently Mose (Susans
friend) brought his brother Free-
man, 15, and his little 3-year-old
nephew, Loren, to spend a day
here. Benjamin and Freeman
enjoy their time together fishing,
playing ball, etc. They always
enjoy spending time together.
Loren wanted so bad to come to
Susans house. She spoils him
and has lots of fun taking care of
him.
Son Kevin, 8, was excited to
We are still in the process of
getting everything cleaned for
our upcoming church services
that we will host on May 4, Lord
willing. Council meeting was set
for that day, so lunch will be
served during the service. We
usaully have two tables set and
people take turns coming to eat
over the noon hour.
We made 30 pounds of noo-
dles from our own eggs.
Chicken noodle soup will be on
the menu that day. Our plans
also include to have the youth
singing in the evening and serve
supper to them all, plus some of
the families from our church. It
will be a long day but I am
happy to take our turn.
On Monday afternoon sister
Emmas daughters Elizabeth,
17, and Emma, 16, assisted us
with some cleaning. Yesterday
sisters Verena and Susan came
to help. All their help is appreci-
ated with both my oldest daugh-
ters working at the factory and
our five youngest in school. A lot
of the work rests with daughter
Verena and I. We have a big
house to clean so it all takes
time. It is such a relief though to
be getting all those corners
cleaned. A lot of people are
planting early garden things and
I am hoping to find time to do
that yet.
We are enjoying dandelion
greens fixed with a homemade
sour cream and hard boiled
eggs. It is always a treat to Joe
and I but not many of our chil-
dren care for them.
Sunday afternoon we were
surprised to get a visit from
Uncle Menno Coblentz from
Arizona and Uncle Andrew
have someone younger than
himself in the house. Lovina,
Kevin, and Loren colored eggs
for Easter and also had fun hid-
ing some and taking turns find-
ing them. They took Loren on
pony rides and he seemed to re-
ally enjoy his time here.
Today Verena and I are going
to do a huge laundry. Im hoping
for a nice day as we have lots of

In loving memory of Bill Russell
Sept. 6, 1933 - May 8, 2002
"Please Don't Cry"
Please don't cry because I'm gone, for I am just "away."
I did not die and never will, I'm with you everyday.
It's true that I have left the Earth, and live in spirit here,
with a peace and love I can't explain, I'm happy, have no fear.
Who I was, I still am now, even better than before.
Heaven holds such beauty here with mountains, trees and more.
Please don't cry, just speak of me, the way you used to do.
Make our memories happy ones, that hug and comfort you.
Remember me with happiness, don't grieve because I'm gone.
In Heaven I am growing still, and my life continues on.
Please don't cry because I share, all you say and do.
In every moment of every day, my love is with you too.
With All Our Love Until We Meet Again

County farmer supports local fire department
through Americas Farmers Grow Communities
GROVER HILL Local
farmer Pam Eddy has di-
rected a $2,500 donation to
the Grover Hill Volunteer
Fire Department. Funded by
Americas Farmers Grow
Communities, the donation
will help the department pur-
chase new protective equip-
ment.
Thanks to the support of
farmers across the country,
more than $3.2 million is
being directed to nonprofits
in 1,289 counties in 39 states.
When asked why she chose
the organization, Eddy said,
I think they do a great job.
We have had a couple of
house fires and they were
there to help us.
Communities works directly
with farmers to support non-
profit organizations like the
Grover Hill Volunteer Fire De-
partment, who are doing impor-
tant work in their communities.
The program offers farmers
the chance to win $2,500,
which is then donated to the
farmers nonprofit of choice.
Communities launched in
2010, and has since donated
over $16 million to more than
6,500 nonprofit organizations
across the country. Americas
Farmers Grow Communities,
sponsored by the Monsanto
Fund, is part of the Americas
Farmers initiative, which
highlights and celebrates the
important contributions of
farmers like Pam Eddy.

Communities winners and

DAR April meeting
The Gen. Horatio N. Curtis Chapter Daughters of the American
Revolution met Thursday at 6 p.m. at the Paulding Carnegie Library
for their April meeting.
The meeting was opened by chapter regent Jeanne Calvert of Oak-
wood with the opening rituals and the pledge of allegiance. The na-
tional defense report was given by Caroline Zimmerman. The
wounded warrior project of the US government was discussed and
also the fact that there are no patients at the Fort Wayne Veterans
Administration Hospital at this time. Any patients are placed at the
other VA hospitals in Indiana.
After the business meeting, the name of a possible new member from
out of state was given to the regent who is going to contact her with the
necessary papers. She is the daughter of an approved member.
Correspondence was prepared for members who are shut-ins and
they will be contacted. A bill was approved to have repairs done on
the DAR Charter that hangs in the Paulding Carnegie Library. The
chapter was organized Oct. 17, 1975.
The program was given by member, Patricia Gottschalk from Fort
Wayne on Americas Past History. She is a descendant of Geo.
Soule who came over on the Mayflower as an indentured servant of
Gov. Winslow. Her line comes down to Kathryn Irene Soule (1913
Romeo, Michigan 1996 Fort Wayne, Indiana). She gave an inter-
esting history of the United States and its struggles from Plymouth
through Anthony Waynes defeat of the Indians at the Battle of Fallen
Timbers. Early colonial history had many struggles to gain the very
land that we stand on today.
The objectives of the Daughters of the American Revolution are
to perpetuate the memory and the spirit of the men and women who
achieved American independence; to promote the development of
an enlightened public opinion and to foster patriotic citizenship.
If you can prove you are a direct descendant of a Revolutionary
patriot or someone who helped with the war effort and if you are in-
terested in how to join the Daughters of the American Revolution or
would like to learn more about this organization, contact Caroline
Zimmerman at 419-258-2222. They welcome all inquiries for mem-
bership.

Museum springs
into seasonal
events
Dear Editor,
Winter is over and activities
are starting to bloom at the
John Paulding Historical So-
ciety. Spring must be on its
way! We have exciting things
going on at JPHS.
There is still time to get your
ticket for the Tea and Hat
Show on Saturday, May 10.
We have lots of hats at the
museum. Did I say lots? We
surely do and we want to
share them with the ladies.
The tables will be decorated
by guest decorators, the hats
will be modeled by some
lovely Paulding County girls
and we will have tea and
crumpets for your pleasure.
Well, our rendition of a crum-
pet. I have never had one so
we will improvise. Time will
be 2-4 p.m. Call Kim Sutton
at 419-399-2388.
On Saturday, May 17, we
are sponsoring a Celebration
of the Arts and Artists of
Paulding County exhibit. This
exhibit will feature oil, acrylic
and watercolor paintings. The
museum will be open from 10
a.m.-3 p.m. We are receiving
some beautiful paintings
and we are bringing out some
County Court
of our collection. I think you
will be very impressed. For
more information call 419-
399-8218 or 419-594-3659.
And now for those of you
who do not like hats, or you
can only attest to a painting
you might have done in
kindergarten, we have another
event scheduled for Saturday
June 7. This will be the 3rd
Annual Bike Rally. The Black
Swamp Cruisers club is again
sponsoring a bike tour
throughout Paulding County.
The club is going to have a
poker/scrabble run this year.
First, second and third place
prizes will be given for the
best scrabble word. Registra-
tion will begin at 9:30 a.m. on
June 7 and the ride will begin
at 11 a.m. Refreshments will
be available following the
rally. Contact Jay Denny at
419-786-0767 for more infor-
mation and entry fee amounts.
Riders will meet at John
Paulding Historical Society
museum on Fairground Drive
across from the fairground.
Other events that are in the
planning stages are the annual
chicken barbecue in August
and the antique truck show in
September and would you be-
lieve we received a Christmas
tree last week for our Festival
of Trees which is scheduled for
Nov. 13-16. The theme will be
A Caroling We Will Go. Oh
no, that means we are back to
that word winter.
All of these activities keep
history alive in Paulding
County. The museum is
funded by activities such as
these. I hope you will support
them with your attendance.
The museum is open every
Tuesday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
and the first Saturday of the
month 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Admis-
sion is free! Volunteers are al-
ways welcome. We have a
junior historian group that
meets on the first Saturday.
There is always room for one
more.
Hoping to see you at one or
all of these events.

Cecil woman injured
in one-vehicle crash
CECIL A Paulding County woman was injured in a sin-
gle-vehicle crash that occurred at 10:13 p.m. Sunday, May 4
on County Road 230 near County Road 105, north of Cecil in
Crane Township.
According to troopers from the Ohio State Highway Patrols
Van Wert Post, a 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt, driven by Janice S.
Carlisle, 53, of Cecil, was traveling eastbound on Road 230.
The driver lost control of her vehicle while negotiating a curve.
The driver drove off the left side of the roadway, struck a traffic
sign, crossed Road 105, and struck a ditch. The vehicle came
to rest in a field.
The driver was injured in the crash, and was taken by EMS
to Paulding County Hospital.
The crash remains under investigation. The driver was not
wearing her seatbelt during the time of the crash. Seatbelt use
may have reduced the drivers injuries.
Troopers were assisted on scene by the Cecil/Crane Town-
ship Fire Department, Antwerp EMS, Paulding County Sher-
iffs Office, and Gideon Wrecker Service.

Commissioners Journal April 16
This 16th day of April, 2014, the Board of County
Commissioners met in regular session with the following
members present: Tony Zartman, Roy Klopfenstein, Fred
Pieper and Nola Ginter, Clerk.
MEETING NOTES OF APPOINTMENTS
Travis McGarvey and Aaron Timm, Engineers Office
Timm presented a change order for the county parking
lot. The commissioners did not think the additional work
was necessary.
The demolition of buildings at the fairground will no
doubt be started after the Flat Rock Creek Festival.
McGarvey pointed out an error in the math on one of
the 2014 Joint Chip Seal bids. He will make a recommen-
dation to award later today.
McGarvey then discussed the necessity of scheduling
a planning commission meeting to review a variance re-
quest for a land split. He noted this particular property
will need a variance from the township as well before the
split can be made. A Planning Commission meeting was
tentatively set for Tuesday, April 29, at 7 p.m. in the En-
gineers Office. Notices will be mailed to committee
members.
Pam Miller, economic development office, presented
the Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) semi-annual report for
the chairmans signature. She noted that all RLF payments
are being made in a timely fashion.
Jerry Zielke, county economic developer, provided the
commissioners with a brief update from his office.
County Treasurer Lou Ann Wannemacher presented
the Revenue Summary Display for interest income. She
had estimated 2014 interest income to be $42,000. As of
the report date, $17,757.21 has been received.
Wannemacher reviewed the investment interest
monthly breakdown report. Approximately 62% of the
total interest earned is invested in bank CDs and CDARs
and 36% is CUSIPs.
Wannemacher reviewed the real estate tax report. She
commented her staff had recently sent letters to those
delinquent on their taxes.
Commissioner Pieper requested some information
from Wannemacher to assist him in completing grant ap-
plications.
County Auditor Claudia Fickel presented the sales tax
report, along with the General Fund Receipts and Expense
reports. Sales tax was down from March by $25,368.44;
however, up $9,795.24 from April 2013. General Fund re-
ceipts for the first quarter 2014 were up from first quarter
2013 by $279,727.82.
First quarter 2014 expenses were down by $64,461.95
from 2013.
She reported dog tag sales are still down from last year;
however, reminder postcards were sent, which encour-
aged additional sales.
Fickel commented Homestead applications are still
being accepted.
Clerk of Courts Ann Pease presented first quarter re-
ports for the commissioners review. She noted $4,000 in
court fees were collected in March. There were 110 cases
filed in March.
Pease reported foreclosures are down. She also said her
office processed 64 passports in the first quarter 2014. The
county retains $25 per passport for a total of $1,600 in the
first quarter.
Pease distributed revenue and expense reports compar-
ing 2014 to 2013. She also noted the Title Office Fund
was able to fund the recent interior painting project at the
courthouse, which was very much appreciated.

missioners does hereby award the 2014 Joint Chip Seal

Commissioners Journal April 21, 2014
This 21st day of April, 2014, the Board of County
Commissioners met in regular session with the following
members present: Tony Zartman, Roy Klopfenstein, Fred
Pieper and Nola Ginter, Clerk.
MEETING NOTES OF APPOINTMENTS
Richard Lauffer and Andrew Elder, Ohio EMA; Jason
Landers, Paulding County Sheriff; Jim Langham, Pauld-
ing Progress - Commissioner Zartman welcomed Lauffer,
Elder and Landers to discuss options of moving forward
to fill the Paulding County EMA position. He noted there
would no doubt be a lot of obstacles. Zartman asked the
question, Where do we go from here?
Lauffer stated there were a couple of choices. He noted
the commissioners have 90 days (with a 30-day extension
if necessary) to select either an interim director or to fill
the position permanently. Zartman commented that unless
someone with experience could be located, appointing an
interim could muddy the waters even more. On the other
hand, if an experienced person could be appointed as an
interim, he or she could train the new hire.
Lauffer noted the key is not to lose grant dollars in the
process. Attendance at the directors conference is one of
the requirements for receiving grant dollars. The commis-
sioners noted there is no representative to attend the meet-
ing. Lauffer suggested a letter be written, explaining the
situation.
He then noted he has most of the paperwork he had re-
quested from [former director] Mr. Shaffer, but still needs
a few things.
The commissioners asked Lauffer his thoughts on shar-
ing an EMA director with a neighboring county. He said
he only knew of one case where two counties attempted
to share an EMA director and the outcome was not posi-
tive. The biggest obstacle, according to Lauffer, was the
challenge of one person personally knowing both coun-
ties first responders. The second challenge was not being
familiar with both counties area.
Lauffer also noted the paperwork, demands in an emer-
gency, and tracking grants for both counties was over-
whelming. He said, in his opinion, although sharing (even
short-term) might be a quick fix, he would not recom-
mend it as a viable long-term solution.
He added that an EMA director need not be a county
resident; however, response time/distance radius should
be considered.
The commissioners were interested in the training of a
new EMA director. Lauffer stated his office can assist in
training and FEMA also has on-line courses. Lauffer
noted there are six sections at the state EMA office. Train-
ing takes place in each of the six separate sections. The
Ohio EMA will assist in the application process and may
make recommendations at no cost to the county. They will
not, however, be present during the interviewing process.
Lauffer said the EMA director is at the mercy of other
agencies policies. The EMA director is to coordinate and
manage the EMA program for the county as it is being
built. The commissioners act as the visionaries for the
countys EMA program, deciding where they want the
program to be for the county. Lauffer suggested the com-
missioners update the current EMA director job descrip-
tion, advertise the position well, and be diligent in doing
the proper background checks before the interviewing
process begins.
Lauffer also cautioned the commissioners to steer away
from contracting EMA services because they do not qual-
ify for cost reimbursement/recoupment from the state.
He noted three immediate concerns for Paulding
County: Mitigation, SHSP FY 2011 grant, and EMPG ex-
ercise (June 30 expiration date). Paulding Countys 50%
reimbursement from the state is capped at $30,931, which
would be $61,862 of allowable EMA expenses eligible
for recoupment.
Lauffer explained the LEPC (Local Emergency Plan-
ning Commission) is a stand-alone board. This board is
actually responsible for updates in plan and exercises. In
most counties, the LEPC requests the EMA director to
plan the exercises and reimburses him or her for the serv-
ices. Elder believes a full-time EMA director is necessary
to accomplish the state and local requirements.
Sheriff Landers interjected he is in favor of updating
the EMA director job description and move toward filling
the position as quickly as possible. It was noted the LEPC
has a meeting scheduled for April 24 at the Latty Mer-
cer/Landmark office and on June 24, at 7:30 p.m. at the
OSU extension building to plan the exercise.
Marsha Yeutter, senior center, met briefly with the
commissioners to update them on personnel issues at the
Paulding County Senior Center. She reported hiring a new
head cook for the center. Yeutter also reported having a
problem with the walk-in freezer, resulting in the loss of
food.
County Recorder Carol Temple was excited to open the
bids for her digitization project (see resolution below).
She indicated this project has been in the making for sev-
eral years, back to before she took office in 2008.
The focus on the digitization project is specifically land
records (deeds and transfers). These records are used pri-
marily by title checkers and attorneys. The original
records in the recorders office date back to 1823. They
are handwritten and the paper is very brittle. Simply han-
dling the pages is destroying the records. Digitizing will
protect the records and make it easier to provide copies.
Xeroxs use of Digital Magic enhances hand written
and photocopied documents to provide excellent image
quality. Records since 1990 are already computerized and
available on line at USlandrecords.com/Ohio/Paulding.
Temple emphasized she has earmarked special record-
ing fees to fund this project and that no direct tax dollars
will be used. Current recording fees for a one- or two-
page document are $28, with $14 going directly to the
Ohio Housing Trust Fund and $4 going into the special
fund. Temple currently charges 10 cents per copy for com-
puter generated records and $2 per page for a copy from
one of the bound books.
The digitization project will preserve 247 bound books,
covering 167 years of recorded deeds and land transfers.
Ms. Temple assured the commissioners that the records
will not leave the courthouse during the process of digi-
tizing. She noted Xerox estimates this project will take
three to four weeks to complete.
Eric Baughman, Baughman Tile, met with the commis-
sioners to discuss the possibility of assisting with the tiling
project of the Jacob Farm. The county manages 240 acres
around the Jacob-Eaton Childrens Home site. The farm
includes three-80 acre fields that are in need of drainage
tiling.

PEVS board eliminates
5 teaching positions
By JOE SHOUSE
Correspondent
OAKWOOD In the busi-
ness portion of the Paulding
Exempted Village School
Board meeting on April 29,
the board approved calamity
days, eliminated some teach-
ing positions, teacher trans-
fers and other school
personnel actions for 2014-
15.
A resolution to approve the
elimination of five teaching
positions for next year unani-
mously passed. Four posts
that have been eliminated are:
a Paulding Elementary Title I
teacher and a fourth grade
teacher, middle school sci-
ence teacher and high school
0.5 social studies teacher. The
fifth was considered sepa-
rately.
Prior to the vote, third
grade teacher Anna Wilhelm
asked the board to reconsider
the elimination of a third
grade teacher at Paulding El-
ementary. She told the board
that additional state testing
being required next year and
having more students in each
class will make it extremely
difficult to reach their goals.
After hearing from Wil-
helm, the board voted 3-2 to
go ahead and eliminate a third
grade position.
The calamity day resolu-
tion received a 4-1 vote with
Greg Reinhart being the dis-
senting vote. With the ap-
proval of four additional
calamity days and after mak-
ing up the four required con-
tingency days, the last day for
students is scheduled for May
27.
A resolution was approved
to send approximately 60 jun-
ior and senior students, two
or more staff members and
chaperones by charter bus, to
Washington, D.C. on April
19-22, 2015. The cost is $799
per student, which is funded
by each student and fundrais-
ers.

Business News
BRYAN The Ohio Gas
Company was first chartered
as the Ohio Gas Light and
Coke Company in 1914 for
the purpose of delivering
manufactured gas to several
communities in Fulton,
Henry and Williams counties.
The natural gas was pro-
duced through a process of
burning coal with coke as a
bi-product which was sold to
steel mills. The coal gas had
a BTU value of 400 to 500
per cubic foot.
In the late 1930s, natural
gas was first transported to
northwest Ohio from the gas
fields of Texas and Okla-
homa.
At this time, natural gas be-
came available at 1,000 BTU
per cubic foot and coal gas
was phased out. Ownership
changed in 1945 and the
company became Ohio Gas
Company and post-war
growth took hold.
Today, Ohio Gas Company
serves nearly 50,000 cus-
tomers in six counties of
northwest Ohio and employs
80 people. Ohio Gas Com-
panys Eastern and Western
Districts provides 24 hour
emergency service.

BRINGING BACK THE OLD?
Do you remember what
you had to eat for lunch when
you were in school? I remem-
ber the likes of goulash,
Johnny Marzetti, hot dogs,
ham and beans, beef stew,
peanut butter and jelly sand-
wiches, mac and cheese and
even fish sticks.
We know how difficult it
can be cooking for our own
family, so can you imagine
cooking for many many stu-
dents? Because, lets face it,
We dont all like the same
food. We all have likes and
dislikes and distinct tastes.
Approximately two years
ago, school lunch menus
were eyeballed and a call was
issued by the government for
schools to serve healthier
food. This was championed
by First Lady Michelle
Obama.
Changes in school menus
have been phased in, how-
ever, starting next year, pasta
and other grain products in
schools will have to be
whole-grain rich, or more
than half whole grain. That
includes rolls, biscuits, pizza
crust, tortillas and even grits.
I know personally when
grocery shopping, low carb,
low cholesterol and whole
grain products are more ex-
pensive. I am sure this will be
an added expense on all the
school systems.
Can you imagine the diffi-
culty it takes for schools to
make a menu using all whole
grains, a lower salt content
and less fat? And then, Will
the kids eat it?
Sometimes, healthier
choices wind up in the trash
can and food is wasted. When
kids dont buy lunch, or it is
thrown away, it costs the
schools precious dollars.
Across the country school
nutritionists agreed that
lunches should be healthier,
but also say these standards
were put in place too quickly.
Students need to get used to
new tastes and school lunch
vendors will have to rush to
reformulate their foods.
Whole grains have also
proved a hard sell for some
popular regional items, like
biscuits and grits in the South.
One school nutritionist said
that her school loved pasta.
However, to conform to
guidelines, she served whole
grain pasta 20 times last year.
A Penny For
Your Thoughts....
By: Nancy Whitaker
Each time it wound up in the
trash. Now, she noted she was
going to use white pasta and
at least have it eaten.
In the Roswell, N.M.
school district, tortillas are
one of the most popular foods
in the area, but the whole
wheat flour versions are
going in the trash.
An interesting note is that I
compared a meal at the
Paulding Senior Center to a
lunch at school. On a certain
day the Paulding Senior Cen-
ter was serving pork cutlet,
cheesy mashed potatoes, cau-
liflower, apple cranberry salad,
dinner roll and sherbet.
A school lunch for the same
day included: whole grain
chips, cheese cup, green beans,
carrot sticks, fruit and milk.
Which meal would you
choose? Which one would the
kids eat? Like I said, we all
have different tastes, likes and
dislikes.
One question I do have is,
If all these healthy changes
take place, will the cost of food
go up for the schools? Will the
cost of student lunches in-
crease? Let me know and Ill
give you a Penny for Your
Thoughts.
Help stop gypsy moths from spreading
By Mark Holtsberry
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
The gypsy moth has infested many states in
the northeast United States, resulting in mas-
sive defoliation of the regions precious trees.
If you live where the gypsy moth is prevalent,
you know the damage this insect can cause.
The leaf-eating caterpillars devour the
leaves of many hardwood trees and shrubs
giving summer scenes a barren, wintry look.
Gypsy moth larvae have been known to defo-
liate up to 13 million acres of trees in one sea-
son, damaging local ecosystems and killing
trees outright. The larvae also crawl on homes,
litter lawn furniture and pools, and make out-
door activities hard to enjoy.
The gypsy moth is one of the most destruc-
tive pests of trees and shrubs to ever be intro-
duced into the United States. Gorging
themselves on the leaves of up to 300 host
species, gypsy moth caterpillars defoliate and
weaken the trees that make up our national
forests and community landscapes. Those
trees that are already suffering from drought,
disease, or pests are especially vulnerable and
may be killed by the gypsy moths repeated
defoliation.
Before your next move, whether its out of
state or just across town, be sure to fully in-
spect household goods and help prevent the
spread of the gypsy moth to new areas.
If you decide to do the gypsy moth inspec-
tion yourself, include anything accessible to
the insect. Inspect any article left outdoors,
stored in areas open to the outside, or stored
indoors but used outside. Enjoy your spring
outdoors.
Also, the Paulding SWCD has a bunch of
trees for sale. Stop in for a good buy, as prices
have dropped. Stop in our office at 503 Fair-
ground Drive and look over the tree inventory.

PCH ranked in top 3 Critical
Access Hospitals in Ohio
By BILL SHERRY
Correspondent
PAULDING The Paulding County Hospi-
tal (PCH) Board of Trustees met Thursday,
May 1 for their monthly meeting in the Pauld-
ing County Hospital Conference Room. The
meeting began with a lengthy executive ses-
sion.
Chief Executive Officer Gary Adkins an-
nounced that at the National Rural Health As-
sociation meeting, held in Las Vegas, IVantage
Health Analytics officially announced the top
100 Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) in the
United States. Paulding County Hospital is
one of three Ohio hospitals that received this
distinction.
The data used to make the selections is com-
piled by CMS (Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services). The metrics of data in-
clude: competitive strength, competitive inten-
sity, market size and growth, population risk,
cost, charges, quality, outcomes, patient per-
spective and financial stability. Paulding
County Hospital was ranked number one in af-
fordability for Ohio CAHs.
Data presented to the board shows that Crit-
ical Access Hospitals that score highly in this
report all have several things in common. For
example, these hospitals charge 63 percent
less per case than non-CAHs and total time in
the emergency department is 56 minutes less
on the average than non-CAHs.
Paulding County Hospital will be releasing
more on this achievement during a future press
release.
Adkins announced that the hospital is in dis-
cussion with an ear, nose and throat group to pro-
vide a clinic at the hospital.
Adkins also reported that the Paulding County
Hospital Foundation held its annual dinner in
April and awarded eight scholarships to county
students for a total of $7,000.
Adkins told the board that a PCH volunteer
recognition brunch was also held in April, hon-
oring the efforts of PCHs volunteer organiza-
tions including the Bargain Bin group, PCH
Auxiliary, the sewing ladies and the volunteer
greeters.
Adkins reminded the board that the annual
health fair has been moved to May this year and
will be held for a week, starting on May 12 and
running through Saturday, May 17. Pre-registra-
tion packets are available at family physicians
offices or at the hospital front desk.
Chief Financial Officer Rob Goshia recom-
mended a plan to the board of trustees to aug-
ment PCHs bottom line for the rest of 2014 and
into 2015 by $1.2 million.
Goshia announced that the new electronic
health record computer system, EPIC, is on tar-
get for going live on June 1. This initiative is re-
quired by the federal government to satisfy
electronic health records requirements for
healthcare entities. ICD-10 changes have been
pushed back to 2015 and the hospital is consid-
ering options in regards to how that will be han-
dled.
Chief Operating Officer Randy Ruge will be
introducing policy revisions and new protocols
to improve patient safety. Ruge said that the
physicians and staff are currently undergoing
training on the new computer system and asks
that the public be patient as the staff learns the
new system. Additional time will be involved
with every patient visit to enter information into
the computer system.
The next board meeting is scheduled for 6:45
p.m. June 5.
New JPHS event to feature
antique hats and tea
By DENISE GEBERS
Progress staff writer
PAULDING In this season
of mother-daughter teas, the
John Paulding Historical Soci-
ety is launching a new
fundraiser. They are hosting a
Tea and Hat Show featuring
the museums huge hat collec-
tion.
The event is slated to start at
2 p.m. on Saturday, May 10 in
the JPHS museum on Fair-
ground Drive in Paulding.
We have over 300 hats that
have been donated to the mu-
seum over the years, said Kim
Sutton, president of the JPHS.
We display some of them in
our Millinery Shop at the mu-
seum, changing the display
with the seasons, but we
wanted to share more of them
with the public.
What better way than to
have young ladies model them
during an afternoon tea? Our
models are Stephanie Habern
and Jacee Harwell from Pauld-
ing Middle School and Treanna
Bidlack from Wayne Trace
High School. The girls had a
ball trying on the old hats and
learning about the styles of
days gone by, continued Sut-
ton.
She said there may be other
models, and that there is poten-
tial for up to 60 hats to be dis-
played.
The girls will model 12 hats
each by walking among 12 ta-
bles. Different county agencies
and organizations will be dec-
orating individual tables, so an
eclectic mix of dcor is ex-
pected.
Each table will have its own
teapot with a selection of teas
available to try. Refreshments
will include petits fours and
finger sandwiches.
Kim said the idea for the
event came while a group of
volunteers were changing the
display at the museum hat
shop. While discussing ways to
show off more of the hats they
have stored, the tea/show for-
mat was suggested.
It was decided to add the
event to the museums spring
schedule to balance the years
activities there.
I would like to make this an
annual event, said Sutton. It
wont get boring; we have so
many hats!
The models are excited
about their assignment, accord-
ing to Sutton.
The young girls are so en-
thused, she said. I remember
my mom wearing a hat, but
these girls hadnt seen that be-
fore. They had so much fun
trying the hats on. I felt years
younger when we left the mu-
seum that night.
Presale tickets are available
by calling Sutton at 419-399-
2388 or Patti Boundy at 419-
399-4120. Tickets are $7
presale or $10 at the door.
Local residents are encour-
aged to support the John Pauld-
ing Historical Society in their
mission of preserving the past
for the future.
Any group that would like to
decorate a table should contact
Sutton.
Young ladies who will be modeling hats during the first John
Paulding Historical Societys Tea and Hat Show include
Stephanie Habern (left), Jacee Harwell and Treanna Bidlack (not
pictured). The event is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. Saturday,
May 10 in the societys museum.

Genealogical society members preserving family history roots
Jim Langham/Paulding COunty Progress
Terri Gorney, 20-year president of the Paulding County Genealogy Society, chats with member
Jerry Flaugh and Ray Keck, who do special research for the group, over a cup of coffee in a local
restaurant.
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
When Terri Gorney started
attending meetings of the
Paulding County Genealogi-
cal Society over 20 years ago,
it was out of interest in the
fact that she has a five-gener-
ation family history in Harri-
son Township, just outside of
Payne. One family member,
Carlyle Pile, used to stand on
the street corner in Payne and
sell newspapers.
One of my ancestor fami-
lies came from France and the
other from eastern Ohio,
said Gorney. The Pile family
settled east of New Haven in
Jefferson Township in Allen
County, Indiana.
In 1869, my third great-
grandfather, Alexander Pile,
moved back to the Payne area
because land was cheaper,
continued Gorney. They
lived outside of Payne with
farms owned by such families
as the Walls and Skinners.
Shortly after Gorney be-
came involved with the ge-
nealogical society, she was
elected vice president of the
organization. Then, in 1994,
she was elected as the soci-
etys president. She has
served in that capacity for the
last 20 years.
Gorney said that the pur-
pose of the local organization
is to honor ancestors and to
make it easier for people to
research their family history.
She noted that better organi-
zation makes it easier for
elected officials. Gorney said
that society members spend a
great deal of time indexing
county records at the court-
house and the library.
I belong to the society be-
cause I am interested in the
history of my family and
where they came from, com-
mented Jerry Flaugh of
Payne. The Flaughs came
from Switzerland by way of
Germany.
My mom (Barb Gorney)
did early civil and supreme
court news, Gorney said. It
was a small county at the time
and they did a lot of mar-
riages and other family-re-
lated business in those
courts.
These days, an average of
25 members attend meetings
at the Paulding Library on the
second Wednesday of each
month at 6:30 p.m. At the
meetings, members do a con-
siderable amount of work on
the history of the first fami-
lies of Paulding County.
Two of the societys major
events of the year are the
Christmas banquet and the
annual picnic at the Riverside
Park in Antwerp. This years
picnic will be held on June 11
at 6 p.m.
When Gorney entered the
local genealogical arena, she
discovered local resident Ray
Keck deep at work on county
preservation projects. Keck
had located and recorded a
book of all veterans in Pauld-
ing County and eventually
published it.
Another big project for
Keck was detailing a ceme-
tery book, all by old type-
writer.
I remember one night I
got a call from a fellow in De-
troit; it was getting close to
nightfall and he was looking
for a particular grave in the
county, said Keck. He told
me that he was in the Oak-
wood Cemetery and wanted
to take a picture of a certain
grave before he started back.
I was able to direct him to
that grave over the phone and
he got a picture of it before it
got dark, Keck said.
On another occasion, Keck
was contacted by a local fu-
neral director after someone
found a stolen headstone.
Once Keck researched the
name on the stone, he was
able to direct officials to the
correct cemetery and plot.
When they arrived there,
they found an empty cement
base and were able to reinstall
the stone, said Keck.
Keck, who has published
several genealogical books
connected with the county,
recalls the night he was asked
to speak to a group of DAR
members.
They called and asked me
if I would give a talk at their
meeting, which was taking
place at the Marsh Hotel in
Van Wert, recalled Heck.
Instead, when I arrived
there, they presented me with
the National DAR History
Medal. I felt so honored.
These days, Keck is work-
ing on a project of attempting
to record the earliest deeds in
the county. In addition, he is
assisting Glenna Doster in
finding and recording the
countys unmarked graves.
There are hundreds and
hundreds of unmarked graves
in the county, said Keck. If
we can get names, we can get
books and find them in the
cemetery. Glenna has a com-
puter so she is able to alpha-
betize the graves. This is not
an easy thing to locate.
In a completely different
realm, Keck and Gorney as-
sist in doing the bird counting
Paulding County. Gorney is
also a member of the Stock-
bridge Bird Society of North-
east Indiana and serves on the
Indiana State Audubon
Board.
In addition, Keck and Gor-
ney have received permission
to go into the Forrest Woods
preserve by Cecil to take in-
ventory of birds, reptiles,
flowers, plants and other
forms of life.
In Indiana, Gorney, who
has worked at Zeiglers Win-
dow Coverings in Fort Wayne
for 33 years, is vice president
of the Friends of the Limber-
lost and has served as a vol-
unteer for the Indiana
Department of Resources for
the past 10 years.

STOP IN FOR ONE-DAY
ONLY OPEN HOUSE
SPECIALS!
By
Kylee Baumle
In The
Garden
You say potato...
I say just plant em
plant your potatoes on Good
Friday this year, in spite of our
reluctant spring. Potatoes will
tolerate light frosts and thats
fine and dandy if you got the job
done then. But good news for
those of us procrastinators po-
tatoes wont do a whole lot of
growing until the soil warms up
to about 45 .
So here we are, nearly three
weeks after Good Friday, and
were just now getting our po-
tatoes in the ground at our
house. But Im not worried, be-
cause it seems like everything
else is about three weeks behind
schedule, too. Weve got trees
that are still trying to push out
their first new leaves. (Yes, bald
cypress, Im talking about you.)
This year, were growing
only one kind of potato Yukon
Gold. Its a particularly flavorful
variety that almost tastes like it
was born with butter already on
it. We purchased seed potatoes,
which arent seeds at all, but are
potatoes with eyes that have
sprouted.
I cut them into pieces with
one or two eyes each, and let
them sit out in the air for a cou-
ple of days so that the cut areas
could heal over. This is im-
portant, because if you plant
them right after cutting, they
could rot in the ground, espe-
cially if you get a rain right
away and the ground tempera-
ture remains cool.
A word about cutting them up
like that yes, you can plant
whole potatoes if you want to,
but planting a potato with sev-
eral eyes will generally yield a
lot of smaller potatoes, while
planting pieces with only one or
two eyes will give you fewer
potatoes, but larger ones. It all
depends on what you want.
So its not too late to get
those taters in the ground, but
for all that is good and holy,
do it soon.

Most of us are fans of phe-
nology, even if we dont
know it or have never heard
of the word. When we talk
about how late the crocus
bloomed this year as com-
pared to last, thats phenology
at work.
Knee-high by the Fourth
of July when talking about
corn is another example of
phenology, and saying that
spring is imminent when the
red-winged blackbirds return
is too. Observing environ-
mental signs that are affected
by the climate can make for
some very interesting table
talk.
We hear a lot of it this time
of year, due to the changing
of the season from winter to
spring. The weather is always
a timely topic and it controls
our lives in ways we dont al-
ways appreciate. But its vital
to the success of our gardens
and wed do well to try and
work with it rather than
against it.
Around here, youll hear it
said that potatoes should be
planted on Good Friday.
Well, thats come and gone
for this year and in most
years, its too wet and cold to
do it then anyway. So why do
people say that?
Rumor has it that back when
the Irish Catholics were plant-
ing their gardens, they didnt
think potatoes were a good idea
because potatoes werent men-
tioned in the Bible. But some-
one decided it would be okay
to eat them if they were planted
on Good Friday and given a
blessing as they were tucked in
to grow.
Now they were holy pota-
toes, and the Protestants
thought if it was good enough
for the Catholics, it was good
enough for them, and the tradi-
tion of planting potatoes on
Good Friday was born.
It just so happens that Good
Friday pretty much falls at a
time in Ireland when the ground
and weather are just right for
planting potatoes. It really has
nothing to do with how good it
is for the potatoes, and you can
ask God to bless your potatoes
whenever you plant them.
Im sure there are those of

Many tax-exempt organizations
must file with IRS by May 15
WASHINGTON, D.C.
With a key May 15 filing dead-
line facing many tax-exempt
organizations, the Internal Rev-
enue Service cautions these
groups not to include Social
Security numbers (SSNs) or
other unneeded personal infor-
mation on Form 990 and con-
sider taking advantage of the
speed and convenience of elec-
tronic filing.
Form 990 series information
returns and notices are due on
the 15th day of the fifth month
after an organizations fiscal
year ends. Many organizations
use the calendar year as their
fiscal year, making Thursday,
May 15 the deadline for them
to file for 2013.
By law, organizations that
fail to file annual reports for
three consecutive years will see
their federal tax exemptions
automatically revoked as of the
due date of the third required
filing.
Churches and church-related
organizations are not required
to file annual reports.
The IRS generally does not
ask organizations for SSNs and
in the form instructions cau-
tions filers not to provide them
on the form. By law, both the
IRS and most tax-exempt or-
ganizations are required to
publicly disclose most parts of
form filings, including sched-
ules and attachments.
Public release of SSNs and
other personally identifiable in-
formation about donors, clients
or benefactors could give rise
to identity theft.
The IRS also urges tax-ex-
empt organizations to file
forms electronically.
Small tax-exempt organiza-
tions with average annual re-
ceipts of $50,000 or less may
file an electronic notice called
a Form 990-N (e-Postcard),
which asks organizations for a
few basic pieces of informa-
tion.
Tax-exempt organizations
with average annual receipts
above $50,000 must file a
Form 990 or 990-EZ depend-
ing on their receipts and assets.
Private foundations file a Form
990-PF.

The Well Community and Youth Center recently broke ground for a community garden in Pauld-
ing. Pictured are, from left- Drew Gardner, Sarah Noggle, Diane Sherry, Phil Sherry and Ann and
Lowell Trausch.
ally involved in the planning
and preparation for The Well,
particularly the community
garden.
The Sherrys are excited to
share with the Paulding com-
munity knowledge of, and love
for, organic gardening. Phil
personally worked up the
ground for the community gar-
den with his farming equip-
ment, after which Ann Trausch
and other volunteers spread
compost to help prepare the
ground for planting.
The Trausches have agreed
to head up a team of volunteers
to oversee the garden and bring
their own gardening expertise
to the equation.
We are so grateful to have
Lowell and Ann on board.
They are so easy to work with
and have years of gardening
experience to help get our
community garden established.
They have hit the ground run-
ning and have already started
to develop a partnership with
the OSU Extension Office.
Sarah Noggle has also been
great to work with and she is
helping us to form partnerships
with the 11 master gardeners in
the Paulding area, who we be-
lieve will be a great resource
for our community plot and the
individual gardeners through a
gardening hotline that they are
creating, said Drew Gardner.
The available personal plots
will be 100 square feet of gar-
dening space. Those wanting a
personal plot are asked to agree
to work 10 hours over the
course of the season in the
community plot, sign an agree-
ment and make a $25 dollar de-
posit by May 12. $15 of the
deposit will be returned at the
end of the season and the re-
maining $10 will go towards
offsetting the expenses of the
community plot.
The deposit requirement
may be waived based upon fi-
nancial need. The garden rules
and a copy of the contract may
be found at ebc-paulding.org or
The Well Community and
Youth Center facebook page.
Some important events com-
ing up are:
Gardening Education Class
Everyone is welcome to at-
tend this class regardless of
their participation in the com-
munity garden.
The class will be held at 7
p.m. Monday, May 12, at Em-
manuel Baptist Church, 1275
Emerald Road. The class will
be led by Phil and Dianne
Sherry and other area master
gardeners. The purpose of the
class is to educate the commu-
nity on the basics of garden-
ing with an emphasis on
organic gardening.
Planting and work day
Those willing to help (again,
regardless of involvement
with community garden on an
ongoing basis) are invited to
come help plant the commu-
nity garden at 9 a.m. Satur-
day, May 17 with the
alternate rain date of May 24.
Those gardening personal
plots are encouraged to come
and plant that day as well.
Plants for the community gar-
den will be provided.
Individuals needing plants are
encouraged to take advantage
of the Paulding County Mas-
ter Gardeners annual plant
sale from 8:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m.
May 16 and 17 at 901 Kay
Nora Avenue where vegeta-
bles, perennials, annuals,
herbs, and houseplants will
be sold.
It will be exciting for our
community to be able to drive
by and see The Well Garden
while people are out support-
ing the community-wide
garage sales. It is also excit-
ing to see the first visible sign
of our community center be-
come a reality, said Gardner.
For questions about The
Well Community Garden or
to register for the class, call
419-399-5061 or email at gar-
den@thewellpaulding.org.
PAULDING Ground has
been broken for The Well
Community Garden, located at
1275 Emerald Road.
The garden will consist of a
large plot for community gar-
dening, as well as personal
plots for anyone in the commu-
nity wanting a place to garden.
Everyone is welcome to par-
ticipate, but the primary focus
for the personal plots is for
Paulding County residents who
do not have the land or space
for their own personal garden
and those who would like to
garden, but dont believe they
have the knowledge to effec-
tively do so.
The produce of the commu-
nity plot will be donated to
local food pantries and used for
other charitable purposes.
Before breaking ground,
Drew and Kelly Gardner of
The Well met with Master Gar-
deners Phil and Diane Sherry
of Nothing But Nature Farms,
Sarah Noggle, Agriculture and
Natural Resources Extension
Educator of the OSU Exten-
sion Office and area residents
Lowell and Ann Trausch to
measure out the new garden
and plan the dates for establish-
ing the garden.
In addition to supporting The

The beginning of a
lifetime journey of steps
A close friend this week
had the special experience of
seeing a child take the first
steps right in front of her as
she was visiting with the par-
ents in their home.
At the time, she felt like the
most blessed person in the
world to be present for such a
special moment.
I remember when our
granddaughter, Kirsten,
started walking, and also the
initial steps of our children. It
is such a historical moment,
both in our lives and espe-
cially in the life of the child.
To think that they have just
taken the first steps of hun-
dreds of thousands over a
lifetime; the future of those
steps and where they are
going to go is unimaginable.
To imagine that child play-
ing in the yard, walking into
school for the first day, walk-
ing down the aisle for gradu-
ation, walking through
danger and life valleys and
jumping with excitement dur-
ing lifes greatest moments is
a mind-blowing anticipation.
I can remember one time
when our daughter was just a
couple of years old and we
were walking down a side-
walk together. Suddenly, she
jumped on to my shoes and
said, I want to walk on your
shoes. I want you to do the
walking for me. Quietly, my
heart silently whispered, if
only you could know what
you are saying child. I know
there will be times when I
will wish that I could do the
walking for you.
These days, they are all
walking on their own jour-
neys. There are times when I
secretly wish that I could
jump in and take their steps
for them. Other times, most
times, I am overwhelmed at
how their steps actually walk
down paths very similar to
what I was walking the day
they stood on my shoes. Its
sobering at times how, when
they are young, they watch
our steps and learn how they
are going to walk as they get
older.
As we get older, each step
becomes more valuable. For
many of the elderly, steps be-
come a treasure, a gift from
God. My father used to sit on
the edge of the bed on elderly
days when he walked with a
cane, sometimes in great dif-
ficulty.
He once said to me, Every
morning, before I step on to
the floor, I pray, Lord, help
me to walk every step that I
need to today. Give me the
strength to take them.
Then at bedtime I would
say, Lord, you helped me
take every step that I needed
today. Thank you so much,
he would say.
These days, I admittedly
realize that the journey is not
as long as it was years ago.
But that doesnt bother me,
because I always think of the
words of the Psalmist, the
steps of a good man are or-
dered by the Lord, though he
stumbles, yet he will not
completely fall for God will
uphold him.
Obviously this is not refer-
ring to literal physical steps,
but the more important steps
in life, the steps of our heart
and their strength for what
my friend, Mert, and I always
referred to as the home
stretch.
So we pray for the future of
the first steps of a child, pray
and show concern with grate-
fulness for the worn paths of
the elderly, and appreciate
each step we are given in be-
tween.

Have you been in Gods classroom on the
lessons of patience?
Skye Jethani wrote a great article in the
March 2014 Leadership Journal titled
Dreaded Exams, his recollection of Gods
teaching his father as a physician about trials
and trust. His fathers experience with a per-
sonal crisis taught him a great lesson on How
to be Patient.
Have you ever been in Gods classroom on
the lessons of patience? Skye Jethnai went on
to say
When I was 18, my father, a doctor, learned
what it was like to be on the receiving end of
medical care. He was diagnosed with cancer.
His type was very survivable if caught early
which could only be known through surgery.
I sat next to him in the waiting room before
the operation. It was odd seeing him in a hos-
pital not striding with confidence into a pa-
tients room or giving orders at a nurses
station like a battleship commander some-
thing I had witnessed many times as a boy ac-
companying him on Saturday morning rounds.
Instead he sat in silence with his shoulders
rolled and hands shaking.
You know doctors make the worst pa-
tients, he said.
Why? I asked.
Because we know too much. We know the
thousands of things that can go wrong that
most people never imagine.
Thankfully his cancer was caught early and
he survived, but something important hap-
pened when the physician became the patient,
when the expert became the examined. He
gained something that cant be taught in med-
ical school or acquired from years of practic-
ing medicine. Cancer gave him empathy. I saw
his compassion for his patients grow follow-
ing his own health crisis. Doctors may make
the worst patients, but patients make the best
doctors.
Regarding the work of patience in our lives
the scriptures say Galatians 5:22-23 (NIV),
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,
peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithful-
ness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against
such things there is no law.

Seniors at Antwerp High School recently finished their capstone senior project, which is a rig-
orous cross-curricular social studies and language arts research project. Seniors have to choose
a controversial topic, research it thoroughly using print and online sources, create an annotated
bibliography, complete the writing process, and write an eight-page paper, all while using various
forms of technology. The final step of the project is a presentation in the auditeria in front of a
panel of teachers, the senior class, administrators, and other students. Seniors can be proud of
this accomplishment and be confident they are now prepared for college-level work. Here Erik
Miesle presents his project for review.

Mothers Day by the numbers
U.S. Census Bureau
Mothers Day: May 11,
2014.
The driving force behind
Mothers Day was Anna
Jarvis, who organized obser-
vances in Grafton, W.Va., and
Philadelphia on May 10,
1908. As the annual celebra-
tion became popular around
the country, Jarvis asked
members of Congress to set
aside a day to honor mothers.
She succeeded in 1914, when
Congress designated the sec-
ond Sunday in May as
Mothers Day.
HOW MANY MOTHERS
4.1 million Number of
women between the ages of
15 and 50 who gave birth in
the past 12 months.

that were among the highest
in the country included
Flagstaff, Ariz. (74.6 per-
cent), Greenville, N.C. (69.4

Red Cross has new disaster manager
LIMA The American Red Cross of West Central Ohio wel-
comes Jennifer Messana as the new disaster program manager for
Allen, Auglaize, Hardin, Mercer, Paulding, Putnam, and Van Wert
counties.
Messana will act as a facilitative leader across all aspects of the
disaster cycle: preparedness, response, and recovery. She will en-
sure Red Cross services continue to be available to diverse com-
munities and work closely with volunteers and officials from the
region to encourage preparedness, carry out response and recovery
plans, and strengthen resiliency in the face of disaster.
Messana earned her master of public administration from West-
ern Michigan University with a focus on state and local govern-
ment. Her experiences with emergency preparedness and disaster
response come from working with the Southeastern Michigan
Health Association and Macomb County Health Department in
Detroit.
Messana is operating out of the Lima office, located at 610 S.
Collet St., Lima. Last year, the American Red Cross Northwest
Ohio Region assisted 601 families, responding to a disaster every

Niswonger announces new community concert series
VAN WERT We dream of enter-
tainment and it shows in this 61st sea-
son of community concerts. The
series has been unveiled and features
revered TV legends, piano, strings,
vocals and high energy dance. Enter-
tainment dreams come true in the op-
ulent comfort of the Niswonger.
The series begins on Saturday, Oct.
4 with The Annie Moses Band. This
award winning group of Juilliard-
trained musicians and songwriters is
dedicated to musical and spiritual ex-
cellence in the arts. The Annie Moses
Band is a young and exciting group
well-known for their diverse sound
from classical to soulful bluegrass
music that will move every soul with
their heart melting harmonies. All
ages will delight in this zestful display
of musical talent.
Then on Thursday night, Oct. 9,
Peter Yarrow, of the iconic folk group
Peter, Paul and Mary, takes center
stage sharing stories and songs in the
very intimate setting of the Nis-
wonger. Take a stroll down memory
lane to when Puff the Magic
Dragon was first created and delight
in the soothing songs of Peter Yarrow
and his band of friends, Mustard Re-
treat.
As an advocate of anti-bullying,
Peter Yarrow will share his encourag-
ing platform with students as part of
his visit to Van Wert. Support of the
community concerts affords this
worthwhile cause that impacts our
communities through the arts.
The series then travels south to the
Caribbean on Oct. 13 to visit the
lovely island country of Cuba. The
Habaneros, a talented string quartet
from the National Symphony Orches-
tra of Cuba, are joined by virtuoso
clarinetist Ortuno Cabezas in a night
of classical and native Cuban music.
The concert will also feature the quin-
tet, dressed in authentic, colorful
Cuban guayaberas, and performing
with a digital backdrop displaying
hundreds of rarely seen images of
Cuba.
Headlining the series on Sunday,
March 8, 2015 are the iconic legends
of television, Barbara Eden of I
Dream of Jeannie and Hal Linden of
Barney Miller, starring in a modern
American classic, Love Letters,
A.R. Gurneys beloved play about
two people who grow up in love with
each others writing. The Broadway
tale is as much a celebration of the
power of the written word as it is to
love itself. Poetic, elegant, funny and
profoundly touching, Love Letters
shows that, despite how things seem,
what divides us is rarely as powerful
as what connects us.
The fifth concert of the series fea-
tures one of the finest concert pianists
in the nation, Leon Bates. This body-
building, world touring concert pi-
anist found his love for music at the
age of six and continued his talent all
the way to Carnegie Hall.
A masters class and seminar of
African-American composers and
their contributions to American music
is also featured.
The season comes to a triumphal
ending on Thursday, April 9, 2015
with a trip to Ireland with the Celtic
dance ensemble, The StepCREW.
This crew of dancers and musicians
literally tear up the stage with their
high energy moves and Irish music.
Masters of three exhilarating dance
styles: Ottawa Valley step dance, Irish
step dance and tap, this new show
takes you on a journey with some of
the finest dancers and musicians in
the Celtic music scene today. The
StepCREW delivers a show of both
brilliant visual and musical display.
Amazing entertainment becomes a
reality at the Niswonger, located at
10700 SR 118 S. in Van Wert. The
box office is open weekdays from
noon-4 p.m. Tickets for the entire series
and more information about the com-
munity concert series can be found on-
line at www.npacvw.org.
The 2014-15 community concert se-
ries, is presented by VANCREST
Healthcare Centers. Supporting spon-
sors are Delphos Hearing Aid Center,
Central Insurance Companies, Taylor
Auto Sales, Slushers Jewelry and Van
Wert County Hospital. Season sponsors
for 2014-15 are Statewide Ford Lincoln
and Van Wert Federal Savings Bank.

Safe Today. Healthy Tomorrow.
Each May, the nation cele-
brates Older Americans
Month to recognize older
Americans for their contribu-
tions and provide them with
information to help them stay
healthy and active. This year,
the focus is on injury preven-
tion with the theme Safe
Today. Healthy Tomorrow.
Older adults are at a much
higher risk of unintentional
injury and even death than the
rest of the population.
Unintentional injuries to this
population result in at least 6
million medically treated
injuries and more than 30,000
deaths every year.
With a focus on safety dur-
ing Older Americans Month,
the Administration for
Community Living plans to
use this opportunity to raise
awareness about this critical
issue. By taking control of
their safety, older Americans
can live longer, healthier
lives.
Talk to Your Healthcare
Provider
Discuss physical activities
that are appropriate for you.
Regular exercise helps to
improve endurance, strength,
balance, and coordination.
Have your vision checked
regularly. Your sight plays a
large part in preventing
injuries at home, on the road,
and in the community.
Learn more about safely
managing your medications,
activities, and lifestyle.
Manage Medications
Be aware of how your
medications interact with
other prescription and over-
the-counter drugs, certain
foods, alcohol, and other
medical conditions.
Learn how medications
may make you unsteady on
your feet or impact your abil-
ity to operate a motor vehicle.
Create a medication
schedule or use a scheduler
box to make sure you take no
less or more than prescribed.
Ask your pharmacist for
help. Large- print labels, med-
ication-tracking devices, and
easy-open containers may be
available.
Prevent Falls
Install handrails and grab
bars wherever they are help-
ful, especially around stairs
and in bathrooms.
Ensure ample lighting
inside and outside of your
home, particularly around fre-
quently used walkways. Add
one or more nightlights
between your bedroom and
bathroom.
Choose shoes with non-
slip soles that provide support
without bulk that could cause
you to trip.
Use a walking aid, if
needed to improve balance
and stability.
Prevent Fires and Burns
Set your water heater to
120 degrees. You can also
install anti-scald devices on
sinks, tubs, and showers.
Test smoke detectors reg-
ularly. Be sure you have a
smoke alarm in or very near
your cooking area. Alarms
should also be installed in all
bedrooms.
When cooking, wear
snug-fitting or short-sleeve
clothing and high-quality
oven mitts that cover the
lower part of your arms.
Do not smoke in your
home, especially if oxygen
therapy is used.
Drive Wisely
Plan your route before
you drive and use the safest
routes that are well- lit, famil-
iar, and offer easy parking.
Daytime driving in good
weather conditions is best.
Wear your seat belt, even
during short trips.
Eliminate distractions
inside the vehicle and stay
focused on the road.
Know when it might be
time to limit or stop driving,
and learn how to get around
town without driving.

Bill Sherry/Paulding County Progress
Paulding Village Council heard that the water main break on North Williams Street is scheduled
to be repaired on Monday, May 12. There is a possibility that 60 residences of the area on Williams
Street, from Garfield Avenue to Caroline Street, and Main Street, from Baldwin to Caroline, may
be without water for five or six hours on Monday.
Paulding Council rejects
bid for vacant hotel lot
By BILL SHERRY
Correspondent
PAULDING In regular session May
5, Paulding Village Council reviewed a
bid to purchase real estate and discussed
a water line repair and paving plans.
Village solicitor Mike Jones advised
council that only one bid had been re-
ceived for the vacant lot that was formerly
the site of the Hotel Barnes.
The bid was from Mike Iler for $8,000
with the stipulations that there would be
no back taxes or hidden fees associated
with the property and that the village pay for
replacing the sidewalk along South
Williams Street at an approximate cost of
$3,500.
Jones advised council that if they were to
accept the bid, the stipulations associated
with the bid could present a problem since
they were not part of the original bid
process. Jones advised council against ac-
cepting the bid and council unanimously re-
jected the bid.
Village administrator Harry Wiebe ad-
vised council that the water main break at
the corner of Williams Street and Baldwin
Avenue is scheduled to be repaired on Mon-
day, May 12. Wiebe said that an outside con-
tractor will be assisting the village with the
water main repair, which includes replacing
two valves.
Wiebe said that possibly 60 residences of
the area on Williams Street, from Garfield
Avenue to Caroline Street, and Main Street,
from Baldwin to Caroline, may be without
water for five or six hours on Monday.
Wiebe commented that the repair has been
slow in getting done due to its complexity
and location. Councilwoman Barb Rife
questioned whether the village knows the
exact location of the break; Wiebe assured
her that the exact location had been pin-
pointed.
Council unanimously approved the vil-
lage administrators agenda, which included
water plant change order No. 10 and an
agreement with Craig Knapke of Access En-
gineering Solutions for the waterline re-
placement on Wayne Street.
The Ohio Department of Transportation
(ODOT) is planning to pave U.S. 127 and
Ohio 111 through the village of Paulding
this summer. Two sections of this project
will not be completed until the village has
completed the second phase of the sewer
separation project. These two sections will
be paved next year.
Mayor White commented that the paving
of these two sections is already in the ODOT
plans for next year.
Council unanimously voted to suspend
the rules, declare an emergency and pass Or-
dinance 1472-14 giving ODOT consent to
complete the paving project.
Finance Director Melissa Tope requested
and council unanimously approved the
transfer of $40,000 from the income tax
fund to the police fund.
A building and grounds committee meet-
ing was scheduled for 5:30 p.m. May 13 in
the village council chambers.
The proceeds from Mayors Court for
April were $1,075.
Mayor White requested that council go
into executive session for personnel issues
and Jones requested council go into execu-
tive session regarding pending legal action.
Council unanimously approved going into
executive session.
The next scheduled meeting will be held
at 6:30 p.m. Monday, May 19.

dowment fund, and leaders to initiate fund growth in established

The PCAF/Marshall Memorial Supporting Foundation has ex-
panded its efforts to reach young adults in Paulding County who
are interested in agriculture through 4-H and FFA. Both founda-
tions have been supportive of the 4-H livestock sale, as well as a
day sponsorship, capital improvement on the fairground and re-
cently making a contribution to the Livestock Building Fund.

tinued support of PCAF.

provements that continue on the farms. As a result, Marshall Me-
morial Supporting Foundation had another prosperous year.

Paulding County. She owns and operates MTJ Farms. The board
of trustees thanked Myrna Cook for her years of service and com-
mitment to the foundation.

Baseball showcase features Raiders, Archers on Thursday
TinCaps Parkview Field hosts county match-up at 4:30
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
FORT WAYNE - Wayne
Trace head baseball coach
Matt Noggle and his counter-
part Zac Feasby, head coach
of the Antwerp Archers, are
both approaching the big
game at Parkview Field on
Thursday, May 8 with the
same attitude. Obviously, both
coaches want to win but hav-
ing the opportunity to play at
a venue like Parkview Field is
as much a lifetime experience
as it is about winning or los-
ing.
Once we found out we
were playing in the showcase,
we were excited and we
talked to the kids about the
opportunity. But once our sea-
son started we have been con-
centrating on the season and
trying to get better and win-
ning games, said coach Nog-
gle.
With the Parkview Field
showdown featuring only two
Ohio schools, both from here
in Paulding County, the
Raiders and Archers are quite
familiar with each other. From
the Green Meadows Confer-
ence, the two schools have
played each other once this
season with the Raiders com-
ing out on top 6-4.
We are certainly looking
forward to Thursdays game.
Its a great experience to have
the opportunity to play in a
large venue like Parkview
Field. This is good for our
seniors and something good to
send them out on, said sec-
ond-year head coach Feasby.
Like Wayne Trace, Feasby
admits they havent talked
much about it but the players
are fully aware of the game.
They have been busy selling
tickets for the game and are
anxious for game day.
Actually, both teams have
been selling tickets for the
game. Admission price is $5
with each school keeping $4
from each ticket sold. Each
school has sold at least 300
tickets at last count. Antwerp
and Wayne Trace plan to use
the profits from the game to
improve their baseball pro-
gram by updating the equip-
ment and facility.

Antwerp will be selling pre-
sale tickets up to 1:30 p.m.
Thursday at the school in the
high school office or at
Antwerp Bank. Wayne Trace
will be selling tickets at the
school until 3 p.m. Wednes-
day.
Both teams are struggling
on the field this year, but the
rivalry that exists between the
two county programs will
make for an entertaining
game. Each squad has but one
win in the GMC, while over-
all the Archers are 4-12 (as of
Monday) and the Raiders
stand at 5-12.
All season we have strug-
gled with having one bad in-
ning in a game that is costly to
the outcome, said Feasby.
Looking ahead to the game
on Thursday Feasby said,
Sure, I want to win, but our
goal is to have fun and give
everyone the opportunity to
play.
For Coach Noggle, who is
in his first hear at the helm,
likes the idea of his kids hav-
ing the opportunity to play at
Parkview Field.
We hope this will motivate
the players. I dont know if we
will ever be invited to play
again in the Showcase but we
will use this opportunity to
help build the program and
get more kids out to play
baseball, he said.
Noggle and his coaching
staff have talked about the op-
portunity to play before a
large crowd and to use the
game as a platform to prepare
for the upcoming tournament.
On the Archers side, Coach
Feasby describes the upcom-
ing game as a memorable ex-
perience that each of his
players will look back on as a
once in a lifetime experience.
The Antwerp-Wayne Trace
game is scheduled to start at
4:30 with the Leo verses
Woodlan game to follow. The
games will be broadcast on
106.7 The Fan and XFINITY
Channel 81.
Tickets will be available at
the gate.
The Parkview Sports Med-
icine baseball series is a three-
week event featuring 28 area
teams.

Oakwood Elementary-1ennifer Manz
Hello Irom Oakwood Elementary on a pic-
ture perIect spring day! As hard as it may be
to believe, we have reached the Iinal month
oI the 2013-2014 school year! As we begin
the last month oI our school year, we certain-
ly do not slow down! The month oI May is
one oI our busiest months oI the year a
special event mixed in with our regular les-
sons nearly every day!
When you read this, our students in grades 2-
6 will have begun their Ohio Achievement
Assessments and Terra Nova Tests. The

oI the curriculum developed by the State oI
Ohio. They are taken by all Ohio 3
rd
through
6
th
graders in Reading and Math; and 5
th

graders take an additional OAA in science.
The Terra Nova tests measure student
achievement in reading, math, science and
social studies. Because the curriculum estab-
lished at the State level has been adopted by
PEVS and drives our instruction and activi-
ties every day, we are conIident our students
are capable oI perIorming well on these tests
and have encouraged them to take the time to
give the best possible answers, allowing him/
herselI to shine. Parents will receive results
oI the assessments in late June. (You hear
educators talk about the OAAs Irequently
throughout the school year, and I thought
you might be interested in seeing an OAA
released question Irom a previous year. Fol-
lowing is a IiIth grade math question: Maria
Iound the same pair oI shoes on sale at three
diIIerent stores. All the stores have the same
original price. The Iirst store has the shoes
on sale Ior 1/3 oII. The second store has
them on sale Ior 20 oII. The third store has
them on sale Ior one-Iourth oII. Determine
which store has the best sale Ior the shoes.
Explain your answer, using pictures, num-
bers or words.)

members, and the band boosters Ior an excel-
lent "Music oI the Night" perIormance. The
Heroes` theme was very inspiring. Thanks
to Mr. Sam Hatcher Ior being the MC oI the
evening and also Ior the year oI being the
"Voice" oI the Panthers Ior many school
events.
Graduation is coming quickly so it is impera-
tive that all Iees are paid in order to attend to
participate in graduation activities.
I would like to give special recognition to a
special young lady who is near and dear to
our hearts and is the 1st Graduate oI the
Graduating Class oI 2014. Congratulations
to Paige Ann Sprow who received her diplo-
ma Tuesday, April 8th. I would like to thank
Superintendent William Hanak, Board Presi-
dent Mark Manz and High School Secre-
tary Lesa MansIield Ior catering a ceremony
Ior this special young lady and making it a
special moment in her liIe.
Recently, Paulding High School has been
piloting some sample online testing that will
be similar to the new battery oI tests that will
replace the OGT. There have also been ACT
core battery tests that have been used to pre-
pare students Ior the rigor oI the new assess-
ments. Teachers have been working hard to
incorporate new standards to prepare stu-
dents, but this is going to be a process that
takes time - and aIIects instructional time to
do them. I thank the teachers Ior working to
prepare students Ior these very important
exams.
I want to thank all the Spring sports coaches
Ior their eIIorts despite the uncooperative
weather to get kids to compete at high lev-
els. These extra-curricular opportunities are
so important to student development that we
need to thank coaches Ior the extra time they
put in to help kids.
