Cabin renovation the fruit of a hunt

By JUDY WELLS
Feature Writer
GROVER HILL When
Gene Scarbrough went coon
huntin near Roselms with a
friend back in about 1980, he
never dreamed hed find not a
raccoon but his future home.
We chased that ol coon into
a shack that was covered with
sheets of tin and old roofing,
Gene says. It was located several hundred feet north of State
Route 114 and was a mess! I
finally found my way inside the
shack and discovered it was an
old log house! After that, I didnt
care about finding that coon
anymore!
Gene was fascinated by that
old two-story log house and
wanted to know more. After
researching its history, he discovered it had been built by a
man named Joseph F. Mellinger
in Section 22 of Washington
Township.
According to a book titled
History of Grover Hill, authored by Laurence R. Hipp
in 1971, the house was only a
few rods northwest of the site on
which Mr. Mellingers grandfather, pioneer Joseph Mellinger,
built his cabin in 1826, to become the townships first settler. Gene learned that members

of the Mellinger family had lived

in the house for many years but
had later sold it to a Mr. John
Hughes.
The story that was told to me
said John Hughes, a Kentucky
farmer and slave owner, had fathered two sons by two different
slave girls, just before the Civil
War, Gene says. He didnt
want his sons to be slaves, too,
so he brought them to Paulding
County. Around 1850, he purchased 40 acres one-and-a-half
miles east of Roselms and north
nearly a mile, and the log house,
which he later moved to its new
location. He wanted to make
a home for his sons, John and
Victor Gaines. As far as I know,
John and Victor lived in the
house until their deaths. Both of
them are buried in the cemetery
one mile north of Roselms.
With the help of Leland Taylor, Gene located the owner of
the old log house and made arrangements to purchase it.
The owner back then was a
black pastor who lived in Fort
Wayne, he says. But he was
on a missionary trip to South
Africa at the time. When I finally made contact with him, he
said hed sell me the house for
two-hundred dollars. I sent him
the money and started tearing the

Gene is proud of the Gaines House, which he says was a labor of love for the many years it took to
restore it. I enjoyed every minute I was working on it, he says. Yes, I got frustrated at times, but I just
kept my eye on the goal and knew it would be a nice house when it was finished. Im really glad I did it.

AHS band, choirs performed

at Walt Disney World Resort

ORLANDO, Fla. Members of Antwerp High School

marching band, concert choir,
and Showstoppers show choir
became stars of their own Disney show April 22 and 23 when
they entertained resort guests at
the Magic Kingdom and Waterside Stage at Downtown Disney.
The group traveled 1,000
miles from Antwerp to the Walt
Disney World Resort in Florida
to take part in the Disney Performing Arts Program. This was
the groups third visit to the resort with the Disney Performing
Arts Program.
The marching band, under
the direction of Andrea Newell,
entertained hundreds of Magic
Kingdom Park guests as they
marched through Frontierland
and around Cinderella Castle
and onto Main Street, U.S.A.
before the Festival of Fantasy
Parade.
Both choir groups, under the
direction of Mary Smith, put on
euphonious and lively shows
that entertained guests. The
groups performance included
Its a Small World by Richard
and Robert Sherman and Its
Raining Men by Paul Jabara
and Paul Shaffer.
There were 53 band and choir
students, 5 chaperones, and 2 directors who went on the trip.
The students spent four days

in Florida, according to Newell.She said the group left Antwerp on Monday morning
(April 20), arrived at Disney
on Tuesday morning, and left
late Friday night, arriving back
in Antwerp Saturday evening
(April 25).
Besides going to Animal
Kingdom, Epcot, Magic Kingdom, Downtown Disney, and
Hollywood Studios at Disney,
they also went to Cocoa Beach,
which they all agreed was their
favorite part of the trip, she
said.
Students raised funds for their
trips for the past three years with
help from the Antwerp Music
Boosters and their families.
Speaking about the trip, Newell said, It was a wonderful
experience for the students at
Antwerp; and, as I told them before the band marched in Magic Kingdom, it was the biggest
crowd they will ever perform
for in their life!It was so cool
seeing thousands of people clap
and cheer for us along the parade route.
Mrs. Smith agreed with Ms.
Newell, saying, This was a
wonderful experience for our
students! They worked hard
preparing and performed beautifully at each performance.All
of the students represented our
school with pride and integri-

ty.Im so proud of them!

She also wished to express
her appreciation to the parents,
music boosters,administration,
school boardand the Antwerp
community for supporting the
trip.
Thank you for ... making this
possible. It was a life-changing
event for our students, she concluded.
A few of her students also
voiced their opinions of their
experiences in Florida.
It was really fun singing
my solo, said Taylor Provines.
While we were performing as a
group, it was nice to see people
stop to watch because they were
intrigued by our performance.
Marissa Elkins was touched
by the trip. Performing with the
Antwerp Music Department at
Disney was something Ill never
forget, she said.
I thought it was a fun experience - even though I lost my
voice, said Amanda Roberts.
Alex Hindenlang said, It was
an experience I wouldnt trade
for the world. It allowed me to
strengthen friendships I didnt
think could get any stronger and
bond with people I barely even
knew. We are one big music-related family.
Disney officials said every
year, thousands of vocal, instrumental, and other ensembles

opportunities that enrich, inspire

The performers apply to perform each year as a part of Disney Performing Arts at both the

Disney resorts. Once selected,

they are given the opportunity
to perform for an international

I used metal lath and cement

the restoration work myself and
Nova did all the decorating and

nice when it was finished. In

1989, we finally moved in.
At about the same time he was
restoring the log house, Gene
was given what remained of the
old Eaton School, located about

that Gene and Nova collected throughout their lives together.

a mile south of Grover Hill.

My dad had attended first
grade there, Gene says. As
I was restoring the house, the
owner of the old school asked
me if I wanted any of the lumber
from it. He was getting ready to
burn it down because it was in
such bad shape.
I told him Id take some of
it. He told me to just burn what
was left when I was finished. So
I took all the boards I could salvage and built an addition onto
our log house. I added a nice big
kitchen, a bathroom and utility
room and even an art studio
upstairs where I could do my
drawing and painting, he said.
Gene built all the kitchen
cabinets himself, and used the
counter from an old grocery
store to add a huge work table
in the middle of the room.
Sometime in the 1990s
Gene cant remember exactly
when a limousine pulled up
in front of what Gene and Nova
called the Gaines House. A

man stepped out and walked

up to the door, Gene remembers. He pulled out his wallet
and handed me two one-hundred dollar bills. He was the
man from Fort Wayne whod
sold me the house. He said he
was so glad to see it back up
and restored that he didnt want
any money for it. So all in all,
we got our house for free. All it
took was a lot of hard work and
love to build and restore it.
When Nova became ill four
or five years ago, Gene built a
downstairs bedroom so shed
be closer to the bathroom and
wouldnt have to climb the
stairs at night.
She just kept going downhill, he says. She finally got
to where I couldnt take care of
her, so I put her in the nursing
home. She passed away last
fall. But we had 70 years of
greatness together! I wouldnt
change a thing about our lives.
We were always happy no matter what happened. Wow!

Genealogy society members

tour depot, hear its history
ANTWERP April 8 meeting
of the Paulding County chapter
of the Ohio Genealogical Society
was held in the baggage room of
the historic Antwerp Norfolk and
Western Railroad Depot.
Village Administrator Sara
Keeran explained the history
and restoration of the building to
as close to original as possible.
A tour of the rooms along with
an assortment of items salvaged
from Otto E. Ehrharts museum,
Indian arrow heads, original
street lamp and a variety of enlarged old photos of Antwerps
downtown area buildings on display piqued the interest of those
in attendance.
Built by the Wabash, St. Louis
and Pacific Railway in 1880 in
Antwerp, which was the largest
village in Paulding County at the
time, the Depot was located beside the railroad tracks at South
Main Street.
The Eisenhower Interstate
System, along with improved
roads the need for the railroad
diminished and with it the Depot.
With the Depot closing in 1976,
James Temple, owner of the
Antwerp Bee Argus newspaper,
worked to have the worn out
building moved to West River
Street, again next to the railroad
it served faithfully.
One hundred years after its
construction, in 1980, the decorative structure was added to
the National Registry of Historic
Places due to its significance to
our local history.
In 2008 the depot was acquired by the Village. With
assistance from the local Antwerp Community Development
Committee, grant funding was
obtained to completely renovate
the historic building. It was completed in December 2012.
The depot, located at 503 W.

Thank You

The family of Eli Manz

would like to express their
appreciation for the cards,
food, deeds of kindness,
and especially for the
prayers during the passing
of our Dad, Grandfather
and Great-Grandfather.
Your loving kindness will
long be remembered.

Welcoming a late spring, baby

ducks and rhubarb coffee cake
If we thought spring weather was here to stay, we were
wrong. Today the temperature
is in the mid-30s, and we are
having snow flurries all morning. The wind is so cold.
All is quiet here at the Eichers. Everyone is gone for the
day. I did the morning work,
mopped the floors and am
folding laundry. Im hoping
to make butter yet before the
girls get home from work. Susan wants to bake sugar cookies when she comes home.
These cookies have buttermilk
as one of the ingredients, so I
thought Id make butter so we
have some.
Susans last day at the RV
factory is Friday. She wants
to take cookies to work to
treat her co-workers. On Monday she will start working
for nephew Emanul. He has
a woodworking shop and has
quite a few employees.
Lovina and Kevin were
really excited on Saturday.
Daughter Susans friend Mose
bought them each a little baby
duck. They named them Donald and Daisy and have had so
much fun taking care of them.
They keep them in a box in
front of the coal stove in the
basement.
I hardly ever hear them.
They arent as noisy as the little chicks that we have had in
the house already. This is the
first time we have had ducks,
so the children are eager to
see how they will be for pets
when they get older. Once the
weather warms up they can
move them out to the barn.
Congratulations to nephew Levi and Barbara! We received an invitation to their
May 14 wedding. Levi is sister Leah and Pauls son. I will
be a cook at their wedding.
They would like the cooks
to wear royal blue dresses. It
looks like I will get another
new dress.
I really need to get to my
sewing. Son Benjamin could
use more work pants. I have
several cut out for him but
need to sew them. Once I get
started it wont take long.
Pants are easy to put together
and sew.
Everything has been so busy
this spring that my husband
Joe hasnt had much time for
fishing. Son Benjamin went

This 30th day of March, 2015, the
Board of County Commissioners met
in regular session with the following
members present: Tony Zartman,
Mark Holtsberry, and Nola Ginter,
Clerk. Absent: Roy Klopfenstein.
MEETING NOTES OF APPOINTMENTS
Jerry Zielke, Paulding County
Economic Development, met briefly
with the commissioners to report on
the Career Op and Showcase sponsored by the PC Economic Development. The event took place last Tuesday, March 24, at the OSU Extension
Building at the Paulding County
Fairground. The goal was to promote
Paulding County businesses and to
provide educational and employment
opportunity information for the general public.
Zielke worked together with many
area businesses and schools to offer
informative sessions during the duration of the event. He reported good
attendance with many people taking
applications for job opportunities.
The event also featured mini-sessions
on those considering embarking on
starting their own business.
Marsha Yeutter, Paulding County
Senior Center, presented two employees have now completed their
probationary period and requested
the commissioners approve their
raises.
She voiced her appreciation to
Holtsberry for beseeching with the
Area Office on Aging to reinstate a
shortage of the senior centers transportation grant. His efforts were successful and Yeutter was pleased to
have the dollars back to enable the
center to continue the services.
She then shared the PC Senior
Center was recently found to be in
full compliance when reviewed by
the Area Office on Aging. There
were a few minor correctable issues
with the Home Delivered Meal procedures as well as their congregate
dining center. Yeutter noted the center serves an average of 24 on-site
meals per day. Four paid drivers and
one volunteer deliver 156 meals per
day. Yeutter reported measures are
already being taken to address these
issues.
Planning for the summer food
project for kids is well under way.
Yeutter noted the grant will allow
$3.50 per meal up to 90 meals a day.
She reported serving 45-50 meals per
day last summer.
Amy and Butch Schlegel met with
the commissioners to discuss services
at the Auglaize River Sewer project.
They recently purchased a property
and were inquiring as to the hook up
policy.
Ms. Schlegel requested an extension of the deadline to hook up due
to the wet land conditions and to
allow them to clear away the land.
The Schlegels reported a lot of things
left behind by the previous owner
that would need to be taken care of
before a line could be installed.
The commissioners advised the
Schlegels to pen a letter stating a
date when they could have the line
in. A six-month time frame from the
date the land was acquired was suggested. Mr. and Mrs. Schlegel agreed
to write a letter and deliver it to the
commissioners office.
Ed Bohn, Paulding County EMA,
reported attending training in the
sheriffs office last week. He requested time off to attend and take
part in a firefighters funeral in Cincinnati this week. Bohn provided the
following updates:
Volunteer Phil Wells will be
inspecting shelters throughout the
county. The shelters are in need of
upgrading.
Todd Schweller of Schweller
Electric will be repairing the weather
sirens soon. The parts for the sirens
have been ordered.
Bohn will be posting information on storm shelters at the Paulding
County Fair this summer.
Bohn reported a great turnout

for the weather spotter training. Sixty-three people attended.

Bohn noted he was the key
speaker at the Kiwanis meeting last
week.
EOC (Emergency Operations
Center) training will be conducted
in the future. The EOC plan is about
one-third completed.
The generator is being housed
in the Engineers facility. It is ready
to go if needed.
Mike Fry (LEPC) will be going
through the countys businesses. Any
fires, chemical spills, etc. must be reported to the EPA and LEPC.
IN THE MATTER OF AMENDING THE 2015 ANNUAL APPROPRIATION (FUND 134)
Holtsberry moved to adopt the following resolution:
BE IT RESOLVED, that the
Board of County Commissioners
does hereby direct the County Auditor to amend the 2015 Annual
Appropriation by appropriating the
following in the County Court Special Projects Fund (Fund 134), towit; 134-001-00003/County Court

Commissioners Journal April 1,
2015
This 1st day of April, 2015, the
Board of County Commissioners met
in regular session with the following
members present: Tony Zartman,
Mark Holtsberry, and Nola Ginter,
Clerk. Absent: Roy Klopfenstein.
MEETING NOTES OF APPOINTMENTS
Huntington Insurance Company
Inc. (Kris Gerken and Kim Oliver)
Gerken and Oliver met with the commissioners to discuss the Affordable
Care Act and its Employer Reporting
(IRS Sections 6055 and 6056) and
Excise (Cadillac) Tax.
Employers with 50 or more fulltime employees are now mandated
to provide health coverage that is
affordable and provides minimum
value. If an employer fails to meet the
conditions under this mandate, they
can be assessed a penalty. Full-time
employees are those working an average of 30 or more hours per week,
or 130 hours in a calendar month.
The employees required contribution
for self-only coverage cannot exceed
9.5% of the household income for the
taxable year. The Countys current
health plan through CEBCO meets
the minimum essential coverage and
the minimum value stipulation.
Employers must complete the IRC
6055 as the reporting mechanism to
the IRS to verify and enforce ACA
mandate consistency. They must
also provide statements to full-time
employees about coverage. The
first required filing for the 2015
calendar year is to be filed no later
that 2/29/16, or 3/31/16 if filed electronically. Statements to employees
enrolled must be furnished annually
on or before Jan. 31 for the calendar
year prior. Penalties may be assessed
to employers for non-compliance.
Gerken had several recommendations
for Paulding County to make tracking
and report completion a bit easier to
accomplish.
Gerken then discussed the Cadillac Tax. The Cadillac Tax is an excise tax scheduled to take effect in
2018 to reduce health care usage and
costs by encouraging employers to
offer plans that are cost-effective and
engage employees in sharing in the
cost of care. It is a 40% tax on employers that provide high-cost health
benefits to their employees.
Three goals of the Cadillac Tax
are to: 1) help finance the ACA; 2)
reduce overall health care costs; and
3) address the unequal tax benefit of
excluding employer-based insurance
coverage from taxes. Gerken noted
the provisions of the Cadillac Tax
were broadly written with uncertainty
and no guidance or regulations from
IRS, DOL, HHS or other government
entities. He also reviewed the trend
assumptions and threshold adjustments from 2010 through 2018.
County Engineer Travis McGar-

vey reported improvements to Benton Township Road 70 will be made

by EDP Renewables. He also noted
some guardrail and drainage work to
be done on county roads.
EXECUTIVE SESSION
A motion was made by Holtsberry
to go into executive session at 8:05
a.m. with the Paulding County Assistant Prosecutor to discuss legal
matters. The motion was seconded
by Zartman. All members voting yea.
At 8:38 a.m. all members present
agreed to adjourn the executive session and go into regular session.
IN THE MATTER OF AMENDING THE 2015 ANNUAL APPROPRIATION (FUND 181)

Buffalo or cow chips anyone?

A Penny for
Your Thoughts

By
Nancy Whitaker
in Europe. Wood was precious.
Coal was expensive. So what
did they use?
James G. Eastman, another homesteader, remembered
some of his chores during this
time, saying, In the earlier days
of our childhood we had a terrible time keeping warm. We
never knew when a great storm
would come up and just how
the next day would be.
My mother would send me
out to pick up buffalo chips,
sunflower stalks, and big weeds
and sticks which we piled up for
fuel.
Buffalo chips? What are they
and have you ever gathered
them? They were manuredroppings from either cows or buffaloes that had dried in the sun
and it is said that they burned
pretty well in the old stoves.
Piles of chips up to 10-12 feet
high might lay next to a little
sod house in the wilds.
These natural fuel sources
(chips) were also used for cooking all year. Chips were a challenge. Women had to overcome
the distaste they felt not only for
gathering manure, but bringing
it into the home and cooking
with it. Chips and hay twists
both burned hot but quickly.
Maintaining even minimal
standards of cleanliness around
a chip-fired stove was a chore.
One early settler chronicled
saying, Here is the rundown
of the operations that mother
went through when making
baking powder biscuits. Stoke
the stove, get out the flour
sack, stoke the stove, wash
your hands, mix the biscuit
dough, stoke the stove, wash
your hands, cut out the biscuits
with the top of a baking powder
can, stoke the stove, wash your
hands, put the pan of biscuits
in the oven, keep on stoking
the stove until the biscuits are
done (not forgetting to wash the

hands before taking up the biscuits).

Can you imagine getting
those chips just in order to fire
up a stove? (Apparently there
were no sanitation rules.)
Even with all that work,
sometimes the stove couldnt
keep up with the cold. John
Hartman also wrote, The winter of 1862 was very severe and
cold with plenty of snow. It
was almost impossible to keep
warm with old style cook stoves
and green wood. My sisters
feet frosted sitting by the stove
with quilts around her.
Obviously, quilts were practical items intended, on one level, to keep their owners warm.
On another level, they were
(and are) works of art with visual decorations that go well
beyond what was necessary to
keep warm. Quilting was an
extremely popular for women
in 19th century America. They
had the added advantage of being put on the bed in order to
keep warm.
Miss Lizzie Lockwoods parents settled in Nebraska in 1870
and she remembered how common quilting was. She noted,
If a girl hadnt started to piece
a quilt by the time she was eight
or ten years old, we just didnt
have anything to do with her.
Oh my! I would have made a
poor pioneer gal. I do not claim
sewing as one of my fortes.
Hartman also wrote in his journals, I have seen frost in Nebraska in July. Seen the leaves freeze
off and all of our corn would be
ruined.On the other hand, in
1903, 1906 and 1907 we plowed
twelve months of the year and in
these three years there wasnt any
snow at all.
So, while I sit here in my
warm dwelling, I guess I dont
have it bad at all. I dont have to
go gather buffalo or cow chips
to fire up a stove, make baking
powder biscuits in a distasteful
setting, or be an outcast because
I dont know how to quilt.
Well, back to my own worries. Is it time to wear white
shoes?
Do you think the old settlers
had problems keeping warm in
the winter? Have you ever gathered or cooked with chips?
Let me know and Ill give you
a Penny for Your Thoughts.

The second grade students at Grover Hill Elementary got the opportunity to learn about Ohio
Wildlife before they start on their research papers about an Ohio Wildlife animal. Last week, Staci
Miller, education specialist with the Paulding Soil and Water Conservation District, went into the
second grade classrooms and gave a fun-filled presentation about wildlife in Ohio. Her presentation featured a PowerPoint where students were given facts about 25 different Ohio animals and
the students got the opportunity to identify each animal and hear their specific animal sound.
The students really enjoyed this interactive way of learning about the wildlife native to Ohio. The
presentation allowed for students to get a better understanding of Ohio wildlife as they chose their
animal for their project. After the PowerPoint, students got the opportunity to see and touch the
wildlife pelts and play Ohio Wildlife Bingo. Educators interested in the Ohio Wildlife presentation
for their classroom or group should contact Miller to schedule this program.

ANTWERP

Is it ever arriving?
According to the calendar,
spring is here. There are signs
of spring all around us, but the
unstable weather is telling us
a different story. In fact, there
was a freeze warning issued last
night for the area and those who
had plants already out were advised to cover them.
One day this week, I saw
neighbors mowing their yards
and the next day snowflakes
were blowing around. Now, I
ask, When is spring really going to get here? What kind of
clothes should I wear? Should
I put away my winter coats,
gloves and scarfs?Should I wear
long pants or shorts? Should I
wear boots or flip flops? Decisions decisions. Whats a gal to
do?
However, I just let my mind
wander back to over 100 years
ago and how the early settlers
had bigger issues in the winter
to think about, besides deciding
what kind of shoes to wear.
It has been said that a man
would put on winter underwear
in the fall and leave it on until
spring. Of course, in addition to
keeping the fire going and taking care of his animals, he was
in no doubt out in the cold quite
a bit. However, keeping warm
in the winter was a common
problem for those early residents of the plains, and different
groups had different solutions
to the problem.
For instance, a Mr. John W.
Hartman came to eastern Nebraska in 1890 and got to know
some of the first generation of
settlers. He wrote and journaled
some of their experiences saying,
John Gilbert was a stage-driver working for the government.
The Pawnee Indians were great
friends to Mr. Gilbert. Many of
their tribe would come each fall
and visit him. In one of their visits, Gilbert went down to the timber where they were camped and
the group was sitting around a little fire. So Mr.Gilbert got a lot of
brush and logs to put on the fire.
The Indian chief said: White
man (a) fool! He builds great big
fire and has to sit a long ways
from it. Indian builds a little fire
and sits close around it.
Their reasoning was, the
smaller the flame, the closer you could sit to the fire and
keep warm. That makes sense
to me.
Most settlers built fires in
stoves to heat their houses, but
they didnt have the same fuel
sources they had back east or

NHEG recognition day scheduled for July

DEFIANCE Are you a home school, charter/public school family that wants to recognize
your children in a public setting? Does your child
like to perform in a public setting?
The New Heights Educational Group is planning its annual Recognition Day for July 25. Interested participants are asked to sign-up now.
This very special day is when we come together to recognize students from all educational
backgrounds, parents, teachers/tutors, and our
many volunteers, said Pamela S. Clark, founder and executive director of The New Heights
Educational Group, Inc. and its Resource and
Literacy Center. Its also an opportunity for

area students that love to share a talent, project,

display with their families and friends and our
community.
According to Clark, all performances, projects, and displays must be family friendly.
This event will be held at Harvest Life Fellowship in Defiance on Saturday, July 25. Those interested in participating should RSVP with a list
of certificates, displays and talents to be shared
by the students for recognition day.
Clark may be contacted on-line at [email protected],

Volunteers sought for

summer food program

PAULDING There are 727

children enrolled in the Paulding
Exempted Village School District who qualify for free/reduced
lunches throughout the school
year.
Northwestern Ohio Community Action Commission (NOCAC)
is looking for volunteers to help
feed these children through the
summer months.
Their summer food program,
operated by the community partnership arm of the NOCAC, offers
a healthy food option for those
children while school is out.
With those summer months
approaching, we are back to
planning the program there in
Paulding at LaFountain Park,
said program coordinator Heidi

Keween.
In 2014, this program fed
303 unduplicated children 2,065
healthy lunches in Paulding
alone. This year, we would like
to continue to reach more children and feed them more lunches and give them more opportunity to participate and learn new
things throughout the summer.
But to do this, we need your
help, she said. To continue to
successfully run the program
we will need volunteers to help
serve the meals, sign the children
in and encourage the children to
participate in activities.
Lunch times this year are from
11:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. with
activities beginning at noon.
Any time that you have to

offer would be great, continued Keween.Examples would

be 11:25 a.m. until 12:05 p.m.,
which gets a majority of the children through the line; or 11:50
a.m. until 12:35 p.m. would help
with transition into the activity or
with clean up.
Keween asks that community
residents consider helping this
year to provide a positive experience for the children who will be
attending.
She may be contacted at [email protected] or by calling
419-784-2150 at extension 1110
for further information or to sign
up.
NOCAC office is located at
1933 East Second St. in Defiance.

MyMeter offers new

option to PPEC members
PAULDING Paulding Putnam Electric Co-op (PPEC)
members now have the option
to compare their home electrical
usage to renewable energy by
utilizing the MyMeter tool on
PPECs website (www.PPEC.
coop).
PPEC has been receiving
many requests for information
on solar and wind generation.
This is one of the main reasons were making this a priority
for our members, said PPEC
energy adviser Peter Niagu.
Its very simple how it works.
It takes your electrical usage per
month, week, day or even hour
and compares it to PPECs solar
and wind units located next to
their headquarters in Paulding.
PPECs renewable system is
comparable to an average members home and the MyMeter

software allows members to see

how much electricity was generated via wind or solar compared
to their own electrical usage. Essentially, by looking at the data,
youll be able tell if installing a
wind or solar unit is the right fit
for your family, he continued.
One of the cooperative principles is education; MyMeter
is another example of your cooperative providing the membership with valuable information,
not only about their service, but
also about the use of renewable
energy. It is not our role to tell
members if renewable energy is
right or wrong for them; instead,
our role is to provide information
so members can make good decisions about their energy future.
This is a powerful education tool
for all members to use, said
CEO/General manager George

Antwerp

Carter.
MyMeter is a free service
to PPEC Members and also
has many other features. Using
more electricity than expected?
MyMeter helps take the mystery out of the electric bill and
alerts members to when their energy use passes a pre-determined
level. MyMeter also allows
the tracking of daily energy use,
to compare and set goals for reducing energy use.
Anyone who would like to
learn more about renewable
energy, should contact PPECs
energy advisor Peter Niagu at
1-800-686-2357.
Also, in the near future, PPEC
plans to hold renewable energy
workshops. Watch for dates via
social media, Country Living
and Electric Consumer magazines, and local media.

PPEC members have donated over $220,000 to local groups through Operation Round-Up since the
programs inception in July 2010. Aprils first quarter donation distributions totaled over $11,000 and included, from left - Ron Etzler representing Paulding County Cancer Society, receiving $1,200; Jeanne Beutler of United Way of Putnam County, receiving $1,000; Lisa McClure of Paulding County Area Foundation,
receiving $500; Peggy Emerson of Paulding Chamber of Commerce, receiving $1,000; David Collins of
Putnam and Paulding County American Red Cross, receiving $1,000; Coral Fetzer of Paulding Soil and
Water, receiving $500 and Phil Wells of Paulding EMA, receiving $2,500. Operation Round Up gives members the option of having their bills rounded up to the nearest dollar every month, with those extra few
cents going to benefit people in need within the co-ops service territory. Over 8,700 of the co-ops 12,900
members participate. The Paulding Putnam Trust/Operation Round Up Board decides on donations quarterly. If you would like to submit an application for the next round, please visit www.PPEC.coop. Donations

$500; Niswonger Performing Arts, $500; and East Allen County Education Fund, $500.

New PEVS calendar approved

By SAMANTHA HABERN
Correspondent
PAULDING The Paulding
Exempted School Board met
in regular session on Tuesday,
April 21.
Superintendent William
Hanak presented a new proposed
school calendar after receiving
input from several people about
the calendar proposed back in
December. The new version included possible make-up days
along with a note that the superintendent has the ability to extend
days to make up missed hours,
much to the dismay of others
present at the meeting.
Teacher Gary Gilbert handed
the board spread sheets of the
prior years showing them the
missed hours in the past. He
pointed out that if they continued with the current system, the
school would lose money for
legal fees with the teachers association taking them to court.
He said several administrators
told him that 2-hour delays dont
count because they dont want
to pay teachers when theyre
not in the building (ignoring the
extra hours teachers put in outside of school) which he feels is
very demeaning to educators.
Ellen Williams continued,
saying that when the teachers
voted on the current contract, they
thought 2-hour delays would
count and that they voted not to
extend school days.
A concerned parent chimed in
that most of the things the board
has been praising students for
(science fair, Science Olympiad,
FFA, etc.) happen outside of
school hours and students may
start to feel a burnout during
long school hours.
The teachers put together a calendar for the board, which Hanak
had received that night. He told
them he would look at it. The
board will vote on the calendar at
the next meeting on May 19.
LeeAnn Favorito and Megan
Johnson talked about the science
fair along with the participants.
Several students presented to the
board their projects. Favorito said
that she appreciated all the help and
support of the science department.
Krisi Williams and Marilyn
Gangwer presented on the Science Olympiad with their students

Paulding County Hospital Auxiliary

as well. They said the competition has been running since 1984,
with Paulding participating since
1986. Many participants take
several tasks in the competition,
ranging from crime scene investigation to construction. They practice from November to April.
Paulding Elementary Principal
Stephanie Tear was presented a
certificate for Paulding Elementary participating in the OSBA
student achievement fair. Tear
commended the teachers, saying
they were the brains and muscle.
Senior Adam Deatrick was
recognized and presented a certificate for wrestling at state level.
Several personnel matters were
handled. Transfers for the coming

Look who showed up in Payne recently to say good morning. Jennifer Martin said, At 7:15 a.m. I was setting on my porch downtown Payne
watching the sun rise this morning and some movement in the grass
caught my eye. My first thought was Im looking at a pheasant, but something wasnt quite right. Then I was wondering if I was actually seeing
what I was seeing. There it was, a partridge taking a leisurely stroll right
up the side walk to the porch. I arose as quietly as I could, and quickly ran
through the house for my camera before the photo-op was gone. This is
the picture I took through the porch window and screen. This is also the
first time I have ever seen a partridge in person.Doing some research this
bird looks to be a Chukar partridge.I have no idea how rare or common
they are to this area, but it got my day off to great start.And I didnt have
to leave the house for the nature trails to get the snap shot.I have always
loved nature and this was such a wonderful surprise to see!

Garden trends for 2015

THE PAULDING COUNTY PROGRESS GOES TO ITALY. Gerry and Kim Shidler of Cecil recently spent
five weeks in Italy visiting their daughter, son-in-law and two grandsons. They were able to tour many
historic sites. Their source for exclusive Paulding County news? The Paulding County Progress! Are
you headed to some distant, exotic destination? Take the Progress along with your camera and send a
photo and a little information about your trip to [email protected].

With a few flower shows

under my belt, as well as scanning the blogs and garden-related businesses online, there
are some common threads running through all of them. Gardening is much like fashion,
in that certain elements within
each realm seem to become
popular and stay that way for
a while.
Thats called a trend and
its what drives business and
what determines what youll
see when you go to the garden
center to buy plants, containers, and items to decorate your
landscape. Trends can even
influence what tools you purchase for use in the garden.
Just as certain fashions become associated with a particular time period, so do garden
trends. Houseplants hanging in
macrame hangers and terrariums in glass fish bowls take
me back to my high school and
college days in the 70s - the
same time I was wearing paisley shirts and hiphugger jeans.
But everything old becomes
new again and so it is with
garden trends sometimes.
Terrariums are very popular
once again (they never really
went out of style), even if you
wont find them in a macrame
hanger, but dont rule that out
either, because retro is a thing.

In the
Garden

By
Kylee Baumle
Paisley is popular again and I
cant remember the last time I
wore a pair of jeans that went
all the way to my true waist.
Miniature gardening has
been around for a couple of
decades, but its become such
a trend now that manufacturers are cranking out just about
every little accessory you
could possibly think of so that
your little fairy garden doesnt
lack essentials or luxury items.
As people try to simplify
their lives, many are living in
smaller spaces that have less
room for gardening with some
having merely a balcony or a
sunny windowsill on which to
grow flowers or edibles.
That has led to a rise in
products that make the best
use of the space available,
such as vertical gardening
containers. Some can be attached to a wall, while others
are freestanding units, either
for the tabletop or a spare corner of a room inside the house
or on a balcony or patio.
Hydroponics is noticing a
rise, because gardeners are

learning that they can grow

nearly everything as well
as if their crops were in the
ground (with the exception of
root crops). Nutrients can be
more easily controlled and it
can be space saving as well,
with some of the vertically designed products available.
Concern over food safety
has more people, especially
millennials, making an effort
to grow some of their own
food and preserve whats in
season for later. Despite many
of them not having grown up
with a garden at home, theyre
finding that its not that hard
to grow food that tastes better
because its fresh.
Certain plants ride waves
of popularity too, and while
many look at the petunia as
a grandma plant, there are
more varieties than ever,
in colors and patterns your
grandma could only imagine.
Grafted varieties of edibles,
such as the nearly black Indigo Rose tomato and the new
Ketchup n Fries that has a
cherry tomato plant grafted
to the root crown of a potato
plant, are bringing adventure
and fun to the table, literally.
But in spite of these trends
and others, when it comes
right down to it, most of us
garden however we want to in
a way that were comfortable
with, just like we do with fashion.

Baumle dominates Archers in win

By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
ANTWERP Senior Addison Baumle hit three
home runs and tossed a complete-game victory as
Wayne Trace rolled past Antwerp 10-0 in Green
Meadows Conference softball Tuesday night.
Baumles three home runs gives her four on the
season, tying the school record that was previously set by Emilie Linder a year ago. The three
dingers also gives Baumle eight for her career
at Wayne Trace, breaking the old mark of seven
held by Kim McGarvey.
On the mound, the Raider senior hurler fanned
eight Archer hitters and allowed only two hits in
shutting down the Antwerp offense.
She hit the ball well tonight, commented
Jack Baumle, Addisons father and Wayne Trace
coach. On the mound, she was able to keep
them off balance and limit them to a couple of
hits.
The senior Raider also recorded three runs
scored and six runs batted in for Wayne Trace.
Wayne Trace got one in the first before
opening the lead to 5-0 in the third. From
there, the Raiders picked up three more runs
in the fourth and two in the fifth to wrap up the
victory.
Everybody came up with hits and found
ways to get on the bases tonight, continued
the Raider head coach. The girls did a good
job of taking advantage of our opportunities to

score.
Mackenzie Swary added two singles and a
double for Wayne Trace with Molly Crosby
adding two singles.
Other Raiders with hits included Bailey
Bergman (double), Carrie Thrasher (single)
and Sydney Critten (single).
Avery Braaten took the loss for Antwerp,
giving up 11 hits and four walks while fanning
three.
Cheyenne Miller-Sweet and Sidney Barnhouse picked up singles for the Archers.
Wayne Trace is scheduled to return to action
this afternoon as the Raiders visit Crestview.
The Raiders resume Green Meadows Conference play tomorrow when they host Tinora
(9-2 overall, 2-1 GMC).

Raiders garner first win over

county rival Archers
By KEVIN
WANNEMAKER
Sportswriter
ANTWERP Wayne Trace
picked up its first win of the
season Tuesday night as the
Raiders scored seven runs in
the second and pulled away
from Paulding County and
Green Meadows Conference
rival Antwerp for a 10-1 victory in baseball action at the
home of the Archers.
The victory was a total team
effort as seven different Raiders recorded hits and four had
at least two runs batted in as
Wayne Trace improved to 1-9
overall and 1-3 in the conference.
We played well top to
bottom tonight, commented
Raider head coach Matt Noggle. We were able to string
some hits together and hit the
ball hard. The guys ran the
bases well and we did a good
job of taking advantage of opportunities.
Noah Stoller returned from
an injury to toss a four-hitter for Wayne Trace. Stoller
fanned a dozen Archer hitters
while allowing walks in tossing the complete-game victory.
He threw the ball well for
us, Noggle stated of Stoller.
His fastball was working
well and the knuckleball was
very effective for us.
Freshman Caleb Schaefer
topped the Raider offense with
three singles while scoring
two runs and driving in a pair.
Caleb has been hitting the
ball hard and today they started falling for hits for him,
added the Raider mentor. He
has been seeing the ball well
and making good contact.
Derrick Jewell added a single and a double with David
Sinn chipping in two singles.
Austin Fast, Seth Yenser and
Blaine Jerome also had singles
for the Raiders and Jake Baksa
posted a triple.
Fast, Yenser and Jewell also
had two runs batted in for
Wayne Trace.
The bottom of our order

was big for us tonight, Noggle continued. Derrick had

some good at bats and battled
through pitches to get hits.
Four runs batted in out of the
eight-nine slots is a big key for
us.
Matt Jones took the loss
for the Archers, giving up ten
hits and three walks with seven strikeouts in six innings of
work. Gregg Kurtz pitched the
seventh, surrendering one hit
and a walk.
With Wayne Trace ahead
8-0 after two innings, Antwerp
scored once in the third before
the Raiders closed the scoring
with two in the seventh.
Michael Taylor had a double for the Archers while Matt
Jones, Hunter Noel and Trenton Copsey added singles.
Im ecstatic for the kids,
concluded Noggle. They
have continued to work hard
and compete even though
things havent gone as we
would have liked this year.

WAYNE TRACE LOCAL SCHOOLS - MAY 2015 NEWSLETTER

SUPERINTENDENTS MESSAGE
By STEPHEN ARNOLD
As the final days of the 2014-2015 school year
roll by, I would like to congratulate this years
fine senior class. Forever to be known as the
Wayne Trace Class of 2015, many outstanding
young men and women are set to bring to an end
a very important chapter in their lives, while
embarking on what will be some of the most
critical years to come. The next four-five years of
their lives may turn out to be some of the most
important, if not the most important years of
their lives. In todays work-force environment, it
is absolutely critical that men and women
acquire the skills and training needed to compete
in todays competitive work-force. Thousands of
jobs just in the state of Ohio are currently
unfilled due to a lack of properly trained and
skilled employees. Many of these jobs center
around technology-based programs.
Our
soon-to-be high school graduates will have the
opportunities over the next several years to get
the skills and training needed to fill these
demanding, and often times high-salary positions. With that said, lets all do our very best to
encourage our young people to pursue higher
education/post-graduate training and to take this
opportunity very seriously. College students who
attend class on a regular basis are much more
likely to earn a degree and develop the skills
needed to be gainfully employed for years to
come.
Speaking of our seniors, the graduation ceremony is set for May 24, starting at 2:30 in the
high school gym. This is sure to be a very nice
event, and we encourage everyone to attend. I
also encourage everyone to take the time to
remind our young people of the potential
dangers that exist over the next several weeks. I
touched on this issue in last months newsletter
as well, but I cant emphasize enough how
important this issue is. With prom and graduation right around the corner, we have entered
what is statistically the most dangerous time of
year for high school juniors and seniors. As
parents, it is our duty to ask lots of questions and
to be on top of what is happening in our child
(ren)s lives. The young adults will be sure to
grumble now, but theyll also be sure to thank
you in a few short years. Once again, thank you
for all you do in this area of your child(ren)s
lives.
The annual testing season is in its stretch run
for this school year with tests scheduled at all
three buildings during the last week of April and
the first week of May. As stated in a previous
newsletter, good attendance, good attention, and
a good attitude all go a long way toward success
in school, and especially in the area of testing.
We have put much emphasis on the importance
of this season and thank all parents/guardians for
supporting our teachers throughout the school
year. Other than the standard OGT, most of the
tests administered this school year have been
different for most of our students, and we appreciate the way everyone has risen to the
challenge. Concerning individual scores, OGT
scores are normally released in May. The release
-dates of other test scores is pending, as we
await decisions from the Ohio Department of
Education and state legislators. Once students
scores are released, we will do our best to get
this information out to you in a timely fashion.
Speaking further of testing the future of
testing as we know it remains uncertain. Much
news continues to come down from the state
level as to what we should plan for in the future.
With that said, the administration and faculty of
Wayne Trace Local Schools will continue to introduce the current state content standards to its
students in hopes that all students are college
and/or career ready when they graduate from
our great school.
Turning to the school calendar, parents are
reminded that due to the large number of days
and hours missed this year due to weatherrelated issues, the school year will extend into
June. As of this writing, the final day for students
is Thursday, June 4. Any significant changes in
the school calendar will be updated through the
Honeywell Instant Alert system.
As always, if you have questions or concerns
about your childs educational experience at
Wayne Trace, feel free to contact your building
principal or superintendent.
Go Raiders!
Special Education/Student Services News
We would like to invite interested adults to
consider the opportunity to become involved in
the IEP process for foster children. This would be
filling the role of surrogate parent at meetings for
children with disabilities. As stated on the ODE
website a surrogate parent is "appointed to act in
place of a parent to make educational decisions
for the child." In a typical year, this would
involve attending several IEP and ETR meetings.
If you are interested in representing students
with disabilities as a surrogate parent, please
contact me for additional information.

It's time to start planning our Little Raiders

preschool rosters for next year. Parents of typically developing preschoolers (who attended an
early childhood screening this school year)
should have already received an initial letter.
The state of Ohio has very specific ratios of
students that we must maintain in our developmental preschools. Unfortunately, sometimes
we have more students than available spaces. If
this is the case, we conduct a lottery. Parents will
be notified of whether or not their child is
enrolled the week of May 11.
We would like to welcome for the 2015-2016
school year the part-time addition of SpeechLanguage Pathologist Kate Wenninger, who, with
our current SLP Michelle Hanneman, will bring
experience and services to the children in our
district.
For any questions regarding surrogate
parenting, preschool, speech therapy, or other
special education issues, please contact me at
the GH Elementary School (419-587-3414) or via
email at [email protected].

MESSAGES FROM THE PRINCIPALS

WT PAYNE ELEMENTARY
Jody L. Dunham, Principal
We look forward to all of the fun learning experiences that are planned for the month of May!
The month will begin with the End of Year
PARCC Assessments for students in grades 3-6 on
May 5 and 6. As always, please make sure that
your child gets plenty of rest the night before and
a nutritious breakfast each morning.
Something new at Payne Elementary will be a
Spring Program presented by grades K-2. This
program will take place on Friday, May 8 at 9:30
and 1:30. The Traditional Kindergarten classes
will be ending their school year with a program
for family and friends at 9:30 on Wednesday,
June 3. The students and their teachers have
worked very hard to prepare for these programs.
On May 19 at 6:30 p.m., the Payne Elementary
band students will join their peers from Grover
Hill Elementary at Wayne Trace High School to
present their spring concert. We look forward to
this special evening!
We dont want to forget that students in
kindergarten through grade six will be going on
educational field trips this month too!
As you know, safety plans and drills are a routine part of the educational process. Therefore, I
try very hard to keep the students, staff, families
and community informed of the hard work that
goes into this planning and preparedness at
WTPE. It is important that you are aware of a
new safety drill that the students and staff will be
practicing on May 28. In the past, as a school we
have practiced fire, tornado, lock down and evacuation drills. On May 28, we will be taking our
evacuation drill to a new practice phase. At the
end of the day, students will be evacuated to our
primary evacuation location. Students will then
load their bus at that location and be transported
home. Students that are typically picked up at
school or walk home from school will be transported back to WTPE for their regular dismissal.
It is very important to practice these drills and
your faithful support is much appreciated.
The last date to remember is June 4. This will
be the last day of school for students unless we
experience additional inclement weather.
In additional news, we want to thank our PTO
for providing our students, families and staff with
an enjoyable evening of fun at the annual family
game night. The PTO works very hard to support
the students and staff at WTPE and we appreciate all that they do for us!
Finally, we want to sincerely thank Title One
Teacher Mrs. Kay Head for 35 years of faithful
teaching and service to the Wayne Trace District.
We wish her a very happy and healthy retirement. We will miss you Kay!
WT GROVER HILL ELEMENTARY
Kevin Wilson, Principal
As we look at the school calendar we notice
many end of year activities taking place. Due to
the many school delays and cancelations this
year our students will be in session until Thursday, June 4.
The first of many May activities will be the sixth
grade students visit to the Jr./Sr. High School for
their orientation on Friday, May 1. Mr. Leeth,
Mrs. Franz and Mr. Langhals have put together a
very informative afternoon for this years sixth
grade students. Students will take a bus to the
high school at 12:00, and will spend the remainder of the day getting acquainted with the high
school building and operations. At the end of the
day those students will be dismissed from the
high school and will not be returning to Grover
Hill Elementary.
Each year as April ends and as May begins we
know it is time for grades 36 grade assessments.
Starting Tuesday, April 28 our student will begin
the EOY PARCC assessments. On April 28 and 29

the students will take the PARRC English Language Arts assessment. Then on Thursday, April
30 the 5th grade students will take the Science
end of year (EOY) assessment while the students
in 4th and 6th grade take the Social Studies EOY
assessment. The final test will be on May 5 and
6. On these two days the students in grades 36
will take the Math EOY assessment.
This years first, second and third grade
students will be presenting E-I- E-I -OPPS on
Tuesday, May 12. The first performance is at
1:30 with the second performance at 7:00. Mrs.
Wieland and her students have put in many
hours into preparing for this program and so we
look forward to another great music program.
We encourage each of you to take time out of
your busy schedules to come and see one or both
performances.
Our fifth and sixth grade band students will
take part in the spring band concert along with
the high school band. Those band students in
grade 5 & 6 will be bused to the high school for
an afternoon rehearsal. The program will take
place on Tuesday, May 19 at 7:00. We hope to
see you there.
The WTGH kindergarten program will be held
on Tuesday, June 2 at 1:30 p.m. This is a very
exciting program in which the students have an
opportunity to share what they learned over the
course of the school year. The teachers will also
recognize each students and their sucess.
The PTO Carnival and Olympic Day will take
place on June 3. This will be an exciting day as
the PTO have a variety of activities planned for
the students. At this time we would like to thank
the PTO for everything they do for the Grover Hill
students!
This years 1-3 and 4-6 awards assemblies will
be held on June 4. The awards assembly for
grades 1-3 will be held at 9:00 a.m. and the program for grades 4-6 will be at 10:00. We would
like to welcome all parents, family, and community members to join us for these assemblies.
WT JR./SR. HIGH SCHOOL
Greg Leeth, Principal
The final full month of the school year is upon
us, and with the coming of May, come many
exciting celebrations for students at Wayne Trace
Jr./Sr. High School; yet, there is much academic
work to be done.
The second round of state testing will begin on
May 5 and end on May 15. The schedule is as
follows:

geometry Unit 1

May 11 Am. History and Am. Government
May 12-15 Make-up tests
Each of these tests will be given at the beginning of the school day, so it is important that
students are on time to school and prepared for
the day. I encourage students to get a good
nights rest before and to eat breakfast the day
of these tests. As mentioned in last months
newsletter, students and staff have done a
tremendous job of preparing and taking the
tests. I look forward to a strong finish of this
years testing.
In celebration of student successes for this
school year, we have the following awards
programs planned. Senior Awards night is scheduled for May 14 at 7:00 p.m. in the cafeteria.
Letters have been mailed to parents of students
who are receiving awards. On May 19, the high
school band and choir will perform their spring
concert at 6:30 p.m., followed by an awards ceremony. Of course, the most important of the
celebrations will occur on May 24 at 2:30 p.m.
when we hold our graduation ceremony.
The last school day for seniors is scheduled for
May 22, while all other students will finish classes
on June 4. The school year has been extended
due to make-up days for weather cancelations
being added. May 29-June 4 are make-up days
for all students except for seniors.
Senior exams will take place on May 20 and 21,
and underclassmen exams are tentatively scheduled for June 3 and 4.
I encourage all to support our students by
attending the remaining concerts, ballgames, and
track meets as we close another tremendously
successful year at Wayne Trace Jr./Sr. High
School.
