From Staff Reports

GROVER HILL Fourteen people
escaped an early morning house fire
Monday southeast of Grover Hill.
Grover Hill Fire Chief David Volk
said his department was called at 4:46
a.m. Dec. 1 to 1653 Road 155, near Road
24 in southwest Washington Township.
When firefighters arrived, smoke was
visible from the two-story house.
What was initially reported as a fire in
a bathroom ended up causing extensive
damage to the structure. Firefighters battled the blaze for 7-1/2 hours, Volk said.
Mutual aid was provided by Oakwood
and Scott fire departments.

The county Red Cross also was on
scene for more than four hours to help
emergency responders and to assist the
family with shelter and other needs.
Volk said the probable cause for the
fire was electrical, but the exact cause
is not yet known and is under investigation.
Volk believes an adult smelled smoke
and alerted the others. Sixteen people
nine adults and seven children resided
in the home; 14 were present when the
fire broke out and all escaped safely.
No injuries were reported among the
residents or firefighters.
We urge people to check their smoke
detectors if you dont have a working
smoke detector, get one and get it installed, said the fire chief.
Replace batteries and be sure to hang
detectors in an effective place as recommended. Multi-story homes should have
more than one detector.
The family lost everything, including
some gifts that had been purchased for
Christmas. Volk asks that anyone who
would like to help the family contact
him for additional information at 419587-3700.

Payne Christmas walk is Saturday
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
PAYNE Stacy Thomas loves snowmen, so it only
makes sense that when she
decorates her home for the holidays, there are various forms
of snowmen throughout the
house. Because she and her
husband, Ben, and their family
live in the country, they have
chosen a country theme for
Christmas dcor in this years
Payne Library Christmas Walk.
That country representation

will be part of the emphasis
of their home this Saturday
during the annual event. The
walk is scheduled for Dec.
6 from 3-7 p.m. Tickets are
available at the Payne Branch
Library up until the time the
walk begins on Saturday.
Since I babysit, the playroom is decorated in a kid
friendly way, commented
Thomas. They have also
helped with some homemade
crafts that will be displayed.

My husband is a fireman so
there is a tree decorated in a
fireman theme.
This is the second time that I
have participated in the Christmas walk, added Thomas.
I have been president of the
Payne Friends group for several years. The library is very
special to my family and me. I
am glad to help with this fundraiser to help raise money for
our local library. It is so much
fun to talk to the people who

come through.
The Thomases live at 6509
County Road 21.
Jason and Tracy Hower,
who live at 119 Proxmire Dr. in
Payne, are emphasizing classic
greenery with red and green
colors with white lights. Those
visiting their home will be
served hot chocolate with German spritz cookies. In addition,

PAULDING A Defiance
man accused of killing his exwife in Oakwood over 30 years
ago remains behind bars after
his motion for bond was denied
last week.
Several other motions were
also discussed at the Nov. 26
pretrial conference for Steven
G. Noffsinger, 58, who was
indicted for aggravated murder,
an unclassified felony, this past
summer.
He is accused of causing the
death of Alma Noffsinger, 29,
who was found dead in her
Oakwood home in December
1981. He was indicted by a
special grand jury in July.
The cold case was featured
on the TNT series Cold Justice on Aug. 8.
His case was continued for
further pretrial conference at 8
a.m. Jan. 30.
No jury trial date was set.
Paulding County Common
Pleas Judge Tiffany Beckman
favored a spring trial, but the
defense attorney was hoping for
a trial in the fall.
Defense attorney William
Kluge requested a $50,000
bond, claiming his client was
not a flight risk. Noffsinger has
been held without bond since
his Aug. 1 arrest, and the Court
did not change that status.

Kluge
requested
that
Noffsinger be granted a weekly
furlough to visit his chiropractor in Defiance for treatment
of a herniated disc, and that
his son be allowed to provide
transportation to and from each
appointment.
Prosecuting Attorney Joseph
Burkard conceded that while
the defendants condition needed medical attention, he was not
inclined to believe that either of
these requests was appropriate.
The Court agreed and denied
both.
Beckman did rule, however, that the Paulding County
Sheriffs Office would provide
transportation to and from Defiance for an appointment every
other week if appropriate.
Judge Beckman also agreed
to the defense hiring a private
investigator from Columbus to
interview witnesses the State
used to build its case.
She approved the investigators rate of $85 an hour and 50

We decorated outside, too,
said Tracy Hower. We have a
friendly nutcracker at the front
door.
We enjoy doing this because we enjoy the library, said
Hower. We appreciate the fact
that it is so community oriented.
I am very excited about the library and all of the things it has
for kids.
In the home of Greg and

Bethany Parker, located at 6220
Ohio 500, the theme centers
around a tree covered with sentimental ornaments.
There are various ornaments that we got for our kids
when we were on vacation,
said Bethany Parker. The kids
reflect on the meaning of that
ornament when we put it on the
tree.
In addition to the ornamental
tree, Parker noted that there is
also a candy cane tree.
I look forward to setting our
table with China, said Parker.
I enjoy decorating for Christmas. We are glad that we can
do this to help celebrate the library.
Carrie Williams, located
at 6325 Meadowlark Lane in
Payne, will have her home decorated with a variety of Christmas ornaments and representations. She is looking to have a

Im excited about decorating the tree Ill have on my back
porch which will be a Harley

Like others who participate in
the walk, Williams said that the
biggest satisfaction comes from
putting forth an effort in support
of the Payne Branch Library.
The house of Jeff and Katie Morman, located at 6695
Road 5, can be seen throughout
the surrounding countryside
in western Paulding County.
Lights outline the home, colored lights decorate the shrubbery and various other ornaments mark out the Mormans
country home.
Ive always had Christmas
lights outside since I was a little kid, noted Jeff Morman. I
always helped my dad do that. I
love coming home at night and

Jeff and Katie Morman decorated their home with outdoor lights as well as several trees inside. The trees are decorated to provide a childlike spirit for its viewers.
Katie Morman has given a
special touch to the inside decorations with several trees ranging from the tall living room
tree decorated with bright red
poinsettias, ribbons and red
bulbs, the turquoise tree in the
den and a tree trimmed in white
lights in the loft.
A neatly presented Christmas
village sits in front of the cozy
fireplace where candles and
various other Christmas memorabilia decorate the kitchen.
This brings the child out in
us, said Katie. Sometimes we
just like to lie around and look
at the lights and decorations.
Theres something peaceful and
childlike that happens on the inside when we do that.

Mitch and Julia Snyder, 4805

Hospital to raise
$500,000 for new
mammography unit
PAULDING Paulding
County Hospital has announced that it is launching
a campaign to raise $500,000
for a new mammography machine.
The hospital was the first in
the area to offer digital mammography when the current
equipment was purchased.
That technology was a tremendous improvement over
the old system, which utilized
film. The digital images resulted in breast cancers being
detected at an earlier, more
treatable stage.
The hospital hopes to
raise enough money to purchase the new state-of-theart equipment that produces
digital images using a technology called tomosynthesis.
Digital mammography makes
two images of the breast
compared to tomosynthesis,
which produces up to 80 thin
images.
Breast cancers can sometimes be hard to detect when

surrounded by dense or fatty

tissue. Looking at thin slices
much like a CT scan enables
the physician to identify a
cancer at an earlier stage.
Worldwide experience
with the new technology has
shown that it increases the
detection of invasive breast
cancer by 41 percent and increases detection of all breast
cancers by 29 percent. Early
detection is key to improving
survival rates.
The hospital is seeking
monetary contributions,
which are tax deductible as allowed by law. All of the funds
will go toward purchase of the
equipment.
Donors will have the option of being recognized on
a plaque for their generosity.
Larger donors have the option
of naming a room at the hospital.
Persons or organizations
wishing to make a contribution are encouraged to call
419-399-1104.

Remembering holidays with parents

plus the pumpkin roll tradition
Monday morning and another rainy day here. Such
a change from the snow and
cold weather we had a week
ago. The house is almost
too warm now with the coal
stove going. We have some
windows open and the stove
turned down so its not too
bad.
Im writing this column
earlier in the week because
of the upcoming holiday.
This week will go fast with
Thanksgiving Day on Thursday.
Brother Albert and Sarah
Irene have the family gathering on that day. With all the
weddings in the family this
year they had a hard time
finding a date. This is actually a late 2013 Christmas
gathering. Sister Liz and Levi
will host the 2014 Christmas
gathering but they will probably have it next year sometime. Every year the family
gets bigger, so some want the
gathering during the warmer months. I miss the years
when my parents were still
here and would have all of
us children and grandchildren home on New Years
Day. Some of us would go
the night before and spend
the night there. Mom would
always have a big breakfast
for all of us. We would set
the tables so everyone could
sit down at once.
After breakfast dishes were
washed, we would open the
gifts. Then we would prepare
the food for dinner and the
tables were set again. We all
enjoyed snacks before everyone left for home in the evening, although I dont think
many were hungry. Yes, we
have many fond memories of
those years we could spend
with our parents. Parents
seem to hold the family ties
closer together.
Last Thursday was a cold,
windy day for the wedding
in Rochester, Ind., of Edwin
and Rosa Mae. The sun was
shining though. My husband
Joe, daughter Loretta, and I
traveled the two hours to attend the wedding.
We were served a delicious
meal of barbecued chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy,
dressing, mixed vegetables,
broccoli and cauliflower salad, several kinds of cheese,
homemade bread, butter,
jam, tapioca pudding, mixed
fruit, cake, and three kinds
of piesapple, cherry, and
pumpkin. Candy bars were
passed around at the end of
the meal.
Since the rest of the family wasnt with us we decided
not to stay for the evening
meal. Joe was glad to see
where his cousin Leander
lives. Edwin is Leanders son
and the reception was held at
Leander and Rosinas (his
parents).
We were glad to see cousins, uncles, and aunts at the
wedding. We arrived home
Its a Thanksgiving tradition for Lovina Eicher to make at

least one pumpkin roll for her family.
around 5:30 p.m. We were

thankful that although the
weather was bad the day before, the roads were clear on
Thursday and traveling was
good. We wish Gods blessings to the couple and may
they have a long, happy married life together.
Happy Thanksgiving to
all!
This week Ill share with
you my pumpkin roll recipe.
I like to make one or two every Thanksgiving Day.

Northwest Ohio law enforcement

worked together and saved lives
VAN WERT Beginning at to save as many LIVES as
6 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 20,

state, county and municipal
law enforcement throughout
northwest Ohio conducted a
48-hour traffic enforcement
effort aimed at saving lives.
This effort, known as Lights
for Lives, began last year as
an annual event to show solidarity in the law enforcement
community as it pertains to
traffic safety. This year again,
Lights for Lives was a successful operation that showed
what can be accomplished by
law enforcement working cooperatively in a multi-agency,
multi-jurisdictional effort.
In the spirit of cooperation, the Ohio State Highway Patrol, Findlay District
and over 30 law enforcement
agencies in northwest Ohio
from the following counties:
Williams, Fulton, Lucas,
Defiance, Henry, Wood, Putnam, Paulding, Hancock, Van
Wert, Allen and Hardin counties participated.
Lights for Lives was a
multi-agency, multi-jurisdictional, cooperative enforcement campaign focused on
officers activating their overhead LIGHTS and stopping
as many vehicles as possible
possible. It began on Nov. 20

at 6 a.m. and lasted until Nov.
22 at 6 a.m.
During the 48-hour operation, officers reported stopping 1,641 vehicles and issued 730 citations. 89 Safety
Belt citations were issued,
while 40 impaired drivers
were removed from Ohios
roadways. (OSHP Troopers,
Allen County Sheriffs deputies, and Lima Police conducted a cooperative OVI
Checkpoint.) 11 Felony and
39 misdemeanor criminal arrests, as well as 12 drug arrests were made during the
operation. Of the citations
issued, 394 of them were for
speed violations. Agencies
reported handling 84 property
damage crashes and 21 injury
crashes.
On behalf of all law enforcement who participated
in Lights for Lives, officers
would like to remind motorists to always buckle up,
throughout this holiday season, as it is the one thing most
likely to save their life. Additionally, they must remember
to plan ahead and never operate a vehicle when impaired
by drugs and/or alcohol.

PAULDING FamilyWize
Community Service Partnership and United Way of
Paulding County are dedicated to building strong communities through better health.
FamilyWize has been selected to help distribute 1,000
free flu shot vouchers provided by Walgreens.
The vouchers are for families and individuals who are
uninsured or underinsured,
and otherwise unable to afford a flu shot without the
voucher.
The flu can have significant
impact on the lives of many
individuals, especially those
with lower income and/or
who are either underinsured
or not insured. The Centers
for Disease Control and Pre-
vention reports parents spend

between $300 to $4,000 in
medical expenses and miss
an estimated 11 to 73 hours of
work when their children get
the flu.
Many of the families we
support cannot afford the cost
of an influenza vaccination let
alone the direct medical costs
and time away from work if
they or someone in their family contracts the flu, commented Dan Barnes, CEO of
FamilyWize. Families who
are unable to afford proper
medical coverage need support from community partners to stay healthy and financially stable.
Individuals can apply to
receive a free flu shot voucher
by visiting the FamilyWize
website at www.FamilyWize.
org. The vouchers have been
provided by Walgreens as
part of a nationwide program
with the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services
(HHS), which helps to make
flu shots available to people
without health insurance
coverage and who are unable
to afford a flu shot through
the program. In addition to
the free flu shot vouchers,
which are available on a
first-come, first-served basis
while supplies last, everyone
visiting the website www.
FamilyWize.org can get a
free FamilyWize prescription
savings card for savings up
to 75 PERCENT off cost of
their prescription medication.

I heardit through the grapevine

I have always been one to
like strange news or something different going on in
this world. This big old world
is full of different types of
people in various locations
of the globe. We eat different
kinds of food, wear different kinds of clothing, live in
alltypes of dwellings, pursue various occupations and
with todays technology, we
get news from all corners of
the world. Like I said, I am
always on the outlook for the
sensational stories.
One that I recentlyread
about took place in San Francisco. To raise money for the
citys animal shelter, bids
were taken for a lucky dog to
be mayor of the day.
Anunknown female Chihuahua, Frida, won her first
political office after her owner bid $5,000 for the honor.
The four-legged politician,
barked as she greeted her supporters and spent her special
day touring Bay Area landmarks and receiving a commendation from the board of
supervisors. Her honor was
shown around city hall and
presented with a retirement
package that included a doggy bed, gift basket and play
products.
We applaud Mayor Fridas ability to rise above her
humble start as a single mom
in an animal shelter to mayor for the day, said Miriam,
acting director of the Animal
Care and Control department

injured, theBoeing 737suffered major damage and the
airline, SpiceJet, was forced
to ground it. It was reported that the buffalo, which
was killed in the accident on
Thursday evening, was essentially invisible against a
dark background. Passengers
on the Delhi-bound aircraft
were transferred on to another plane.
Stray animals are a growing menace in some airports,
SpiceJet said in a statement.
This incident has affected
our regular operations and
SpiceJet flights from Surat
will be suspended after this
incident.

Historical society restoring 1917 auto

VAN WERT Straley Realty-Auctioneers Inc. presented a check for $2157.17 to
Larry Webb, president of the
Van Wert County Historical
Society.
The donation represents the
payment for five tires to be
used on the 1917 Overland
three-seat coupe presently being restored by the historical
society.
Most of the restoration
work is being done by volunteers Dave Agler and Larry
Oechsle. The Overland Opera
Coupe was originally owned
by Charles Wassenberg and
his family. After his death,
the car was purchased by Paul
Jones and his sons, Bill and
Richard. In 1985, the car was
moved to Florida and in 2011,
the Jones family offered to
return the car to the Van Wert
County Historical Society.
The societys trustees raised
the $5,000 to purchase the
automobile and the additional
monies to have it transported
back to Van Wert.
As Agler and Oechsle began to peel off the metal exterior, they discovered that
much of the wood had been
destroyed by termites. Agler
went to work cutting and
carving over 200 pieces of
white oak to replace the damaged cars skeleton.
Agler stated, We now
have to place the metal skin
over the wood and then do
the interior and the top of the
coupe. Most of that will be
leather. The approximate cost
to complete those projects
will be $15,000.
Agler pointed out that there
are only two known 1917
Overland coupes that have
at some Indian airports mean

animals can stray onto runways. Can you imagine an
airplane hitting a buffalo?
There may be some tall
tales and tails being told
about New York, or the Big
Apple, and one of them is that
eight million rats live in New
York City.But according to
research done by a Columbia
University statistician, the rat
population is only approximately two million. There has
been an urban lore for over a
century that there are as many
rats in New York as there are
residents.
Most New Yorkers who
see them skittering about the
subway tracks or hear them
rustling through trash piles
will agree. Animals are poor
research subjects and the
initial plan was to capture a
random supply of rats, mark
them andrelease them back
into the population and then
capture another sampling.
However, the citys health department was not impressed
with that idea so the researchers used complaints about
rat sightings which the city
tracks and publishes online.
(What a job that would be.)
What do you think of these
headlines? Would you like for
your dog to be mayor for the
day? Arent you happy that
the buffalo no longer roams
in Paulding County? Dont
you hope the rats stay in New
York? Let me know and I will
give you a Penny for Your
Thoughts.
Winter weather reminders

PAULDING Paulding County EMA offers the following friendly reminder about
winter readiness.
With the recent snowfall and deep freezing
temperatures, Mother Nature is reminding us
that we need to get prepared for the winter
weather that hits northwest Ohio each year.
We need to dress for the cold multi-layer of loose clothing, have our faces covered,
wear gloves or mittens and heavy socks. Ears,
nose, fingers and toes are the most vulnerable
to frostbite.
Our bodies react differently to extreme
conditions as we age. Among other factors,
young children play outside in the snow and
tend to get their clothing wet. This draws the
heat away from their bodies quicker.
Adults that work out in the frigid temperatures not only need to dress for the climate,
but get out of the weather and warm up on a
regular basis.
And lets not forget the elderly; older adults
are at a higher risk because they tend to lose
body heat more quickly and are more likely
to take medications that affect their ability to
regulate body temperature. As a result, they
are at higher risk for complications from hypothermia, frostbite and other cold weather
illnesses and injuries.
When the snow falls and the mercury drops,
call or visit older friends, neighbors and loved
ones to ensure they have what they need to
stay warm and healthy.
Lets not forget to winterize your vehicle as
well. Check or have a mechanic check on the
following items on your vehicle:
Antifreeze levels - ensure antifreeze lev-

be clean.

Windshield Wiper Equipment - repair
any problems, replace blades and maintain

Outsmart
YO U R D E D U C T I B L E
Heres a way to be smart when it comes to your

medical insurance. If youve been putting off minor
medical procedures, waiting to get your mammogram
or just not scheduling that colonoscopy, the end of the
year is a perfect time to take care of those overdue
medical needs.
Paulding County Hospital can help you meet these
needs. Deductibles under most medical insurance
plans will reset to the full amount beginning in January.
So if you have met your deductible for this year and are
able to complete other medical procedures or tests
before the end of the year, your out of pocket expenses
may be minimal or even zero. So be smart and contact
your doctor today or call Paulding County Hospital
and schedule before the end of the year.

And you are to them like

a love song by one who has a
beautiful voice.
Those words, hidden deep
in the book of Ezekiel (33:32)
open the chorus books of
heaven to a fact closest to the
musical heart of God. Everyone has a song within, if they
will allow it to flow and fill
out the chords of the heart.
Oh, it may not come out
in literal musical scores, but
the lyrics may express themselves through a well-timed
hug, an appropriate word of
encouragement at just the
right time, or a silent prayer
known only to God.
It may reflect personal traits
that are meaningful to others
or an unsuspected talent just
waiting to develop. Its what
makes you you and it can
often be heard more clearly
by others than by self.
One beautiful expression
of a song is the Song of Solomon, or Solomons song
of love. It is a heart-full of
emotion directed at a woman
whom Solomon dearly loves.
Through metaphors, poetry,
and actions, Solomon spills
over with one of the most
beautiful songs ever given to
the human race.
My beloved responded
and said to me, Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, and
come
along.

the time. As I reflected across

the events of the day, I had
recalled a special, Were
praying for you, coming
from the checkout lady at a
grocery store.
I also remembered the
laughter of our children and
the special warmth shown by
a woman whose life was battered and torn, who wouldnt
have had to sing the song her
heart insisted on radiating in
spite of the pain.
As I listened to the words
of the song moving in my
soul at the time, these words
came:

smile,
through your tears,
And the soft words youve
spoken,
I hear your song,
Tis the music of the cosmic,
Tis the song of the soul,
Tis a gift, oh so precious,
The gift of your song.
Your song is what brings
out my song. Our songs are
often quite difficult to hear,
unless they come out in response to the song of others.
And therein lies the lyrics
that touch the very heart of
God the sounds of his children listening and appreciating each others song in lyrics
as sweet and rare as individualism itself.

Finding the meaning of Christmas
By Byron McNutt
DHI Media
Now that Thanksgiving is
in the rear view mirror, the
Christmas season is officially upon us. Local merchants
have decorated their store
windows and home owners
have decorated their homes,
inside and out, in anticipation
of the holidays to come.
No one needs to be reminded how long and how cold
our winters can be. Were all
aware how many impoverished families live among us
and how critical it is for our
young people to have warm
bodies as they navigate these
winter conditions. Having
nice clothes to wear to school
gives students self confidence.
As much as we watch to
see what our children do with
their lives, they are watching
us to see what we do with
ours. There is no greater gift
one can bestow on children
than that of self-esteem.
Building their self-confidence
is a day-by-day process. Give
this priceless gift all year
long.
Tis the season for giving.
It reminds me of what Mother Teresa once said: Its not
how much we give but how
much love we put into giving.
With that in mind, Id like
to share the following story
about giving.
This inspirational Christmas story, written by Nancy
Gavin, appeared in the Dec.
14, 1982 issue of Womens
Day magazine. It was given to
me by a reader of this column
who thought others would
find the message meaningful.
The essay was titled: For the
Man Who Hated Christmas.
It was just a small, white
envelope stuck among the
branches of our Christmas
tree. No name, no inscription.
It all began because my husband, Mike, hated Christmas.
Oh, not the true meaning of
Christmas, but the commercial aspects of it--overspending and the frantic running
around at the last minute to
get that last gift.
Knowing he felt this way,
I decided one year to bypass
the usual shirts, sweaters and
ties. I reached for something
special just for Mike. The inspiration came in an unusual

way.
Our son, Kevin, who was
12 that year, was on the wrestling team at the school he attended. Shortly before Christmas, there was a non-league
match against a team sponsored by an inner-city church.
These youngsters, dressed in
sneakers so ragged that shoestrings seemed to be the only
thing holding them together.
Our wrestlers wore spiffy
red and black uniforms and
sparkling new wrestling
shoes. As the match began,
I was alarmed to see that the
other team was wrestling
without headgear, a light
helmet designed to protect
a wrestlers ears. I assumed
they could not afford them.
Well, we ended up walloping them. We took every
weight class. Mike, seated
next to me, shook his head
sadly, I wish just one of them
could have won, he said.
They have lots of potential,
but losing like this could take
the heart right out of them.
Mike loved kids. He enjoyed coaching little league
football, baseball and lacrosse. Thats when the idea
for his present came.
That afternoon, I went to
a local sporting goods store
and bought an assortment of
wrestling headgear and shoes
and sent them anonymously
to the inner-city church. On

Christmas Eve, I placed a
small white envelope on the
tree, the note inside telling
Mike what I had done, this
was my gift to him.
Mikes smile was the
brightest thing about Christmas that year. Each following
year, I followed the tradition
with some special gift, such
as sending a group of mentally handicapped youngsters to
a hockey game, and so on.
The white envelope became the highlight of our
Christmas. It was always the
last thing opened on Christmas morning, and our children--ignoring their new
toys--would stand with wideeyed anticipation as their dad
lifted the envelope from the
tree to reveal its contents.
The story doesnt end
there. Last year, Mike died
of cancer. When Christmas
rolled around, I decided
to continue the tradition. I
placed the white envelope on
the tree. The next morning, I
found it was magically joined
by three more.
Unbeknownst to the others, each of our three children
had placed a white envelope
on the tree for their dad. It
looks like this family tradition will continue for years
to come. Im thinking there
might be a perfect place on
your tree for a white envelope.

Look to the weeds for algal growth in the Great Lakes

By Mark Holtsberry
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
All or most of us have read where Lake
Eries toxic algae is supported by commercial
farm runoff, animal manure, sewage spills,
faulty septic tanks and other major sources
of nutrients responsible for putting much of
the excessive phosphorus and nitrogen in the
water.
Now hold on to those horses! Great Lakes
scientists are now probing deeper into the
weeds on this issue. They are finding that invasive species and climate change also foster
algal growth. Invasive species and climate
change dont cause algal blooms, but they
worsen them.
I find it amazing that the bombardment of
the public with information, gets everyone in
a frenzy and then wants to assign blame, even
though science doesnt work that way. Scientists concluded that western Lake Erie has
been primed for algal blooms by a number of
factors beyond spring time phosphorus inputs
and warm summer months.
Western Lake Eries algal blooms, which
reappeared in 1995 after a 20-year absence,
have consistently grown bigger and stronger
since 2002. The finding factor is that Lake
Erie indeed gets too much phosphorus and
that factor is not the trends only explanation.
Now, take invasive species. For a while, all
you heard was zebra mussels. When was the
last time you, yourself have heard any talk of

zebra mussels? There are several scientists
who believe invasive mussels selectively spit
out microsystis, the most dominant form of
toxic algae in western Lake Erie.
They also believe that the mussels excrete
most of the phosphorus they take in because
they have trouble digesting it. They are fussy
eaters, but they filter what they eat. They eat
tiny organisms, plant particles, and the many
healthy productive forms of algae known as
diatoms that support the food chain for native
fish.
Invasive mussels also arent fond of phosphorus. Their bodies absorb it if they have a
nutrient deficiency. But theres so much phosphorus in the lake now that they excrete most
of what they ingest. An individual thumbnail-sized mollusks impact may seem insignificant, but when billions colonize a lake
bottom, their effects may create imbalances
that make it easier for algae to grow.
Climate change is often characterized
by drama, a greater propensity for floods,
droughts, hurricanes and violent weather.
Ohio, for example, has had warmer winter nights for nearly four decades. That has
kept Lake Erie ice from forming as quickly
and as often most winters, with last winters
polar vortex invasion of arctic air creating a
notable exceptions. A report proposes a more
subtle climate change impact, one that has
gone largely unnoticed but played into more
algal growth: longer periods of calm winds

between those violent summer storms.
Algae thrives in warm, nutrient-rich water,
but especially when calm water allows mats
to form. Identifying other contributing factors
and understanding the roles they play in priming Lake Erie for algal growth doesnt mean
they will be fixed immediately, if ever.
The U.S. and Canadian governments have
tried for decades to slam the door on invasive species, with limited success. Resources
that had been focused on quagga and zebra
mussels has shifted to Asian carp. Land based

invasives like the emerald ash borer have
gotten eradication efforts funded by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture and other agencies
because of that beetless devastation of highly
valuable commodities from ash trees across
North America.
Climate change is a global problem with
myriad political obstacles. Scientists agree
that even if the world came to an agreement to
reduce emissions, it would take years to have
a positive impact on the Great Lakes region.

Hockenberry continues to set

high standards at the college level
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
In 2011, then senior guard
Kacee Hockenberry became
only the second girls basketball
player to break 1,000 points at
Wayne Trace before closing
her career with 1,040 points.
The former Raider standout
is at it again at Ohio Dominican
University.
Hockenberry, now a senior
guard for the Lady Panthers,
recently broke the 1,000 point
level in her basketball career
and now stands at those same
1,040 points four games into
her senior season.
In doing so, she became the
first womens player to hit the
mark at the Division II level
for Ohio Dominican as well as
being the first player in Wayne
Trace history to break 1,000
points at both the high school
and collegiate levels.
It was a special feeling,
noted Kacee, who was quick
to credit many others. I have
been blessed with a lot of good
teammates both in high school
and college. It is a team effort
to reach something like that
and I am very thankful for all
of my teammates.
She has put a lot of time in
and a lot of extra work, commented Kacees mom, Lori.

important overall.
Two years ago, Ohio Dominicans womens basketball
team had the top-ranked grade
point average across all divisions of NCAA basketball at
3.699.
This past season, the Lady
Panthers actually improved
their grade point average as a
team to 3.793 but fell to second
in the nation. Ohio Dominican
has ranked in the top 25 in the
nation five times in its history.
That was a pretty cool honor for our team, Kacee commented.
While Kacee has always
been a scorer, the other facets of her game are what have
made the senior the complete
player that she is.
After setting a school record
at Wayne Trace with 222 assists, Hockenberry has currently dished out 151 helpers for
the Panthers while also recording 113 steals.
I am proud of her for the
way she has made her team and
teammates better as much as
for the scoring, continued Les.
There have been challenges
for Hockenberry, who is majoring in exercise science with the
hope of becoming a physical
therapist, though.
As a freshman, her first
action was a preseason game
against the University of Akron
where she was kind of thrown
into the wolves. They went
at her full tilt but she hung in
there and kept battling. It was
a tough lesson but I knew she
would be okay at that point.
Hockenberry went on to start
that year along with four seniors.
It was a year where I had to
make the adjustment to college
as well as being a leader on the
team, continued the former
Raider star. Having to handle
not only the pressure of playing
at that level but also learning
the game at a much faster pace
made things challenging but it
was an experience that made
me better.
Kacee finished the year averaging 7.8 points per game

that season, hitting 25 treys and
dishing out 51 assists.
Her sophomore season,
Hockenberry bucketed 14.7
markers a night and connected on 31 three-pointers while
posting 46 assists and 53 steals.
Last year, the Panther guard
scored 15.7 points a contest
while adding 27 treys and 48
assists.
You have to love the game
to play at this level, stated the
Panther starter. Sometimes it
feels like some of the things we
do are counter-productive but
it has all paid off and now we
are seeing the benefits of it. It is
a once in a lifetime experience
so you have to make the most
of it if you have the opportunity to play.
The school has been great
for me, stated the Paulding
County native. It has been a
perfect fit. I absolutely love it
here and would recommend it
to anybody. I love my teammates and all of my professors
are great to work with.
I think this level has been
a very good level for her, Les
noted. The competition is
very good and just the school
in general has been a blessing.
She has been able to make a lot
of contacts and those are contacts that she will use the rest
of her life.
My parents have been tremendous supporters, Kacee
concluded. They have been
to nearly all of my games and
just have put so much time in
supporting me. I am so grateful
for that.
I am just proud of the person that Kacee has developed
into, added Lori. We just
are so thankful and proud of
her and the person she has become.
She has held herself to a
high standard, stayed true to
her Christian values, and kept
her faith, concluded Les.
Shes been a good example to
others.

After 84 games, its still all even

By JOE SHOUSE
Progress Staff Writer
ANTWERP This Saturday the
Paulding Panthers and Antwerp Archers
will meet up on the basketball hardwood
for the 85th time. After playing 84 times
since their first meeting held back in
1938 the two county rivals have split
their on-court battles with each school
winning 42 times. On Saturday, when
the teams play at Antwerp, one of the
teams will take the team lead - at least
for one year.
When looking over the scores of all
84 games played it is amazing to see
how even the two schools have competed over the years. The Panthers have
scored a total of 4,243 points while the
Archers have totaled 4,172 a scant 71
points difference over 76 years of play.
Paulding has averaged 51.1 points per
contest while the Archers have tallied
50.3 points per game.
When the series started in 1938, the
Archers won the first five match ups
while the Panthers longest winning
streak is six that took place from 194751 and 1979-1984.
The largest margin of victory for
Paulding came in 1980 when Paulding
delivered a 43-point win 91-48. For the
Archers, a 31-point win in 1989 was its
largest, a 65-34 win.
Both teams have only played two
overtime games with Paulding winning
both games in 1950 and 1981. There
was a stretch from 1967 through 1971
when the two teams did not play.
Since 2000 the series has continued to
be a toss-up most years with the Archers
holding a slim 8-7 margin. Last year, the
Panthers won 60-50.
A special thanks to Antwerp sports
historian Tim Copsey for providing the
team scores.

Davis wrapping up stellar career at MSJ

By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
CINCINNATI Four
years ago, Janelle Davis was
finishing up a volleyball career and preparing for what
would be a record-breaking
girls basketball season at
Wayne Trace as the Raiders
would become the first girls
team to post a 20-0 regular
season.
Move the calendar forward
four years and the former
Raider two-sport star is concluding a stellar volleyball
career at Mount St. Joseph
University.
Davis currently has 1,039
assists on the year for the
Lady Lions, good for eighth
place on the all-time single
season list at Mount St. Joseph. Davis also stands in
fifth place in career assists
with 2,415.
The success has not come
without adversity for the former Raider though.
Davis quickly learned that
college volleyball brought
about new challenges over
the high school version of the
sport.
One of the biggest things
I learned right away is just
the speed of the game is so
much quicker in college,
commented the former Raider. In high school, you had
some time to adjust because
teams just didnt get the ball
back quickly but in college
you have to be ready to go at
all times.
Another big difference is
the intensity level.
I think that the intensity is
something you cant understand until you play at that
level, continued Davis. In
college, these girls play volleyball year round and it almost is like it becomes your
life in a way. That was a big
difference from high school
where it was still a lot of time
but it didnt carry into your
Janelle Davis, a Wayne Trace graduate, is in her senior volleyball season at Mount St. Joseph University in Cincinnati. Davis currently ranks fifth all time in assists with 2,415 at the home
of the Lady Lions and is eighth in the history of the school with
1,039 assists in a season.

out of college volleyball. She

has learned to bounce back
quicker from disappointments and adversity and just
continue to work through it.
The ability to learn from her
mistakes and move on instead
of dwelling on them is something she has gotten better
at.
While the four years are
rapidly coming to a close,
Davis knows it has all been
a lot of fun and worth every
minute of it.
Its gone quick, Janelle
stated. The biggest thing I
would tell somebody is to
take in every minute of the
opportunity and enjoy it. Its
a lot of hard work but it is
worth it.
I am really proud of
her, concluded Bauer. She
moved away as a freshman
and fought through some adversity and she has grown up
a lot in the last four years. She
is a strong kid and just has a
lot to look forward to in life.
Shes got a good support system not only here at home but
down at college to and that is
crucial.
Shes grown up not only
as a volleyball player but as
a person, Kelly said. Its
something she kind of had to
do being that far away but yet
it was good for her too. I am
proud of the person she has
turned in to but I am going
to miss having the volleyball
games to go to as well.
If there were anything Davis could tell high school volleyball players in the area, it
would be this.
I dont think a lot of players now at the high school
level play volleyball because
they love the game, concluded the Wayne Trace graduate.
As our coach has said, play
because you love the game. If
you do that, it will love you
back. That is something I
have tried to remember every
day.

Paulding Council praised for new parking lot

By SAMANTHA
HABERN
Correspondent
Village Council held a short
session Dec 1. Parking lot matters, approval of a pay increase
and utilities assessments topped
the agenda.
The council has received
praises from citizens and vis-
itors alike for the new courthouse parking lot.

Solicitor Mike Jones requested the survey results for
the village-owned property by
the Paulding County Senior
Center. Jones says that as soon
as he receives it, he will be able
to write an agreement for the
senior center. At the last meeting, Marsha Yeutter, senior
center director, proposed an

agreement between the center
and village to upgrade the centers parking lot.
Council heard the third reading of and approved Ordinance
1488-14, amending Ordinance
1244-01, fixing the compensation of elective village officers.
The changes are as follows:
Commencing Jan. 1, 2016,
and for subsequent years thereafter, the compensation for the
Mayor of the Village of Paulding shall be $10,500 annually,
payable in monthly installments of $875.
Commencing Jan. 1, 2016,
and for subsequent years, thereafter, the compensation for
[the] Village Council members
... shall be $7,200 annually,
payable in monthly installments of $600.
The administrators agenda
included 15 water and sewer
assessments or water, sewer
and refuse assessments for residences in the village. The assessments total $4,360.85. The
properties are owned by Birdstone Inc.; Alan W. Griffiths
Trustee; Dovetail Development
Ltd.; and Cora E. Evans.
A safety committee meeting
will be held at 5:30 p.m. Monday, Dec 8. The meeting will
cover issues with Werlor and
alley residents regarding where
bulk trash is to be picked up.
The next council meeting
will be at 6:30 p.m. Monday,
Dec. 15.
I wonder how many people

choose their houseplants specifically for their location in
their home. We do this for our
outside gardens, taking into
account sun exposure, soil
type, and water requirements,
so why not consider our home
as we do our property?
Growing plants indoors
isnt difficult, but all of them
are out of their element when
we plunk them in a pot and
invite them to share our living
space. Youll have the best
success when you take into
account just what the plants
like in their natural growing
environment.
Plants that like full sun outside certainly need a sunny
window in your home, but
even part shade plants might
need the bright light that a
sunny window provides, because that window doesnt get
direct sun all day long like a
sunny location in your garden
might.
Shade plants often work
very well in our homes because they dont have the
bright light requirements even
when theyre outside. What a
plant needs in the way of light
is the first thing I look for
when Im choosing a plant to
grow inside.
But plants often have humidity needs in order to do
well, and thats not something
we can control as well in our
homes. A great number of
plants do well in a wide range
of conditions, but there are
those that definitely benefit
from a location with higher
humidity levels. Know of a
place like that?
Our kitchens are sometimes more humid, but the one
room that almost consistently
ranks highest in humidity in
our homes is the bathroom.
Of course, if you dont have
a window in your bathroom,
thats not going to work, but
if you do, its the perfect location for several common
houseplants that thrive on
more humid environments.
One of the quickest ways to
glam up your bathroom is to
add an orchid. The common
moth orchid (Phalaenopsis)
has aerial roots, which it uses
to attach itself to trees in tropical locations, but those roots
also absorb moisture from the
air.
Many people have problems keeping rosemary alive
indoors over the winter, but if
In the
Garden
By

you think about its native origin in the Mediterranean region, it makes sense that perhaps the bathroom is the spot
to try it.
There are oodles of types
of ferns available and any of
them will love it there. The
common spider plant (a.k.a.
airplane plant) is another, as
well as the peace lily (Spathiphyllum), which also happens
to do well in low light. Others
to consider are the prayer plant
(Maranta leuconeura), Rex
Begonias, baby tears (Helxine soleiroleii), Anthurium,
and pink polka dot plant (Hypoestes phyllostachya). Plants
that do well in a terrarium will
likely feel at home in the bathroom too.

If you dont have a bathroom suitable for growing
these humidity lovers, heres
a tip for growing them elsewhere: take a pot saucer (the
kind used to put under pots
that have drainage holes in
them) and fill it with pebbles
or small rocks. Then put some
water in the saucer and sit the
pot on top of the pebbles. This
adds humidity to the area right
around the plant, yet the pebbles elevate the pot enough
that the plant itself isnt sitting
in a puddle of water. Doing
this is better than misting,
which the plant surely enjoys,
but only for a short time until
the leaves dry.
If youve never thought
about keeping a plant or two
in your bathroom, its high
time you did. Bathrooms
want to look pretty too. And
remember how Ive told you
that many plants clean the air?
I dont think I need to explain
the benefits of that any further,
do I?

Steve Asbell, a friend of mine, came up with the brilliant idea

of using a shower organizer for growing an orchid in the bathroom shower. Its quite happy there! (Photo courtesy of Steve
