FOUR WHEEL $59.95
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
HAVILAND It was the
perfect end to a perfect night.
When time ran out in the
fourth quarter of Saturday
nights non-league contest
between Wayne Trace and
Grandview Heights to send
the game into overtime, Raider assistant coach Ken Speice
and Bobcat head coach Ray
Corbett met at center court in
front of the scorers table and
hugged, capping a very special
day honoring former Raider great and Bobcat teacher/
coach Steve Hall.
By the time the additional
four minutes ran out, it was the
host Raiders who held on for
an 82-74 victory over the Bobcats, but it wasnt about who
won and lost.
I told Kenny it was the
perfect ending to the night,
commented Corbett. A great
crowd, what an atmosphere
here. A lot of people here to
honor a great person and show
their respect to his family. It
wasnt about who won tonight.
It was about Steve Hall and I
think you could see tonight
what people thought of him.
Hall scored in double figures
88 of 96 games in his Wayne
Trace playing career, including all but one in his junior and
senior years combined.
He still holds four career records at the home of the Raiders. He is highly ranked in several others areas but his greatest attribute doesnt show up
anywhere in the record books.
He was a great teammate,
commented former Raider
head coach Al Welch. Steve
always put the team first and

that was just the way he was in
life. He always put everybody
else first and kept the focus on
the team.
That continued into Halls
adult life.
Halls roommate in college,
Kevin Richards, also told of
Halls decision to leave an engineering position to become a
teacher.
He had a great job in engineering, traveling across
the country as part of his position, Richards commented.
But he came to me one day
and said he wanted to give
back to society. I tried to talk
him out of it, but it is what he
wanted to do.
After Hall had gotten his
teachers certificate from Ohio
Dominican, he did his student
teaching with Richards at
Grandview Heights.
He had job offers from
every position he interviewed
for, Richards continued. But
he picked Grandview Heights
because it reminded him the
most of Payne and Wayne
Trace.
Hall then taught at the home
of the Bobcats for 18 years,
coaching 16 years of girls tennis and also coaching in both
the boys and girls basketball
programs.
Richards also announced
that a mens group from
Grandview Heights has started a scholarship that will be
awarded to a Wayne Trace
student in Steve Halls honor,
another way to remind future
Wayne Trace students of the
Hall legacy.

Relay For Life kicks off

at Eagles this Saturday
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
PAULDING The annual
Paulding County Relay For Life
Kickoff will begin this Saturday at 6:30 p.m. at the Eagles in
Paulding.
The entire event is geared toward being a family night promotion of a cure for cancer and
will be complete with games for
children, opportunities for relay
team promotions and a major
auction.
In addition, food will be available, thanks to the Paulding Ladies
Auxiliary. The evening
will close out with music and
entertainment with Larry Colley
while auctioneer Aaron Timm
will be in charge of the auction.
In addition, a special raffle will
be included with the live auction.
This years theme, said activity chairman Jillene McMichael,
is Relay Goes Hollywood and
is based on the slogan, Lights,
Camera, Cure.
Our goal is to have many
ways to get people involved, including honoring survivors and
caregivers. We are initiating various awards, said McMichael.
This is all open to the pub-
lic, said McMichael. We are

trying to get the community
involved and getting existing
teams to start fundraising. We
want this to be an awareness moment, an opportunity for people
to get to know more about Relay
For Life. It will also serve as an
opportunity for people to sign up
for teams.
Based on this years theme,
McMichael said that each team
is encouraged to improvise a
team theme based on some type
of movie title such as, Cancer,
Be Gone with the Wind.
Relay For Life is a national
event and all money goes toward a cure for cancer, stressed
McMichael. The actual money raised does not go directly
toward Paulding County but
we have such as tight knit community that we have developed
many ways to help each other
and support each other during
times of cancer.
Im unbelievably proud of
the way our community supports
the cancer cause and reaches out
to those with need, continued
McMichael. Im so touched
by the involvement of our caregivers. Thats what makes it so
personal.
McMichael listed ways in
which local American Cancer
Society advocates assist with
the needs of those battling cancer such as Road to Recovery,
geared toward providing rides
for those who need to get to
medical appointments or treatments.
Other county efforts include
the Wig program and Feel
Good programs.
Cancer is deadly and very
expensive. Community friendship and reaching out to assist
others is free. Its all about getting a patient through each day,
said McMichael.
Last year, Paulding County
residents raised $79,000 towards a cure for cancer. This
years goal is $84,000.
Ive been involved with Relay For Life for over 15 years
but the time I put into it is irrelevant, noted McMichael. When
I see all of the hope restored and
the closeness of those who care
and reach out, thats what its
all about. Im excited about this
Saturday night. Its amazing to
see everyone come together for
this common cause.

Saturday night brought
back many, many memories
for Raider fans, with many
former teammates, faculty
members and graduates in attendance. One of those memories was Halls game-winning, buzzer-beating shot at

over Delphos St. Johns, a
district championship victory
that eventually led to Wayne
Traces first state tournament

It also led to new memories
as Halls son, Eli, started for
Grandview Heights opposite
his cousin and Halls nephew, Justin Speice. The duo
also finished the night on opposite sides, as Corbett and
Wayne Trace head coach Jim
Linder made sure both were
on the floor at the end of the
only high school game they
will play against each other,
with all in attendance standing
and applauding at the games
opening and ending.
The night was about the
memory of a man who helped
thrust Wayne Trace to new
heights as a player and a man
who helped inspire many
students and players to new
heights at Grandview Heights
as a teacher/coach.
Now, his uniform is put
away at a height like no other
at Wayne Trace, hanging from
the rafters of a gym that came
to fruition because of his and
his teammates efforts back in
the late 1980s.
A special man, a special
player, a special teammate. A
special night. Thanks for the
memories, Steve.

Guest Column
100-year-old building
is worth saving
By Susan Pieper
Paulding County Carnegie Library director
As I continue to compile a history from the past Minutes of the
Board of Trustees, it seems that the operations of the library over the
past century consisted of striving for the best collection and best services while at the same time, acting like the Dutch boy who averted
a flood disaster by plugging a hole in the dike with his finger to keep
the structure from falling apart.
I do not believe in curses, but I do believe in the weakest link
theory. And, the roof of the library seems to have always been the
weakest link in the building. The library roof has leaked almost
consistently since the library opened in 1916. These leaks caused
secondary damage to the walls and floors. Ceilings were constantly
being repaired, walls plastered and the roof ... well, reroofed.
It was not until our modern roof was installed a few years ago,
that we have experienced better results. We have installed an insulating tape in the downspouts to keep the ice from backing up
(once an issue with leaks) and the materials used on the new roof
are modern and top-rated. Also, a few years ago, the building was
totally repaired on the exterior, with not only tuck-pointing (replacing the mortar between bricks where needed), but also an ingenious
process of removing the keystones and resetting them with steel
rods. This has resulted in no more shifting and leakage of water
through the exterior. It also resulted in the library being awarded an
Award of Merit from the Ohio Historical Society for preservation.
Over the past decades, the Board of Trustees has invested in the
materials and resources needed to save this old building. And, in
2016, the physical building of our Carnegie library has never been
in better shape.
I am also looking at the long road we have been on to continuously provide professional library service to the citizens of Paulding County. Your library system in Paulding County is busier than
it has ever been. More people are using the library than ever before
with over 200,000 items being borrowed in 2015. Whether it is
to check out the latest best-seller, use the high-speed public computers or the Wi-Fi connections for their laptops, research, college
work and testing, socializing with friends and family, borrowing
the latest eBook or other digital materials, borrowing a Playaway
to listen to an entire book while on the move, browsing through
a comprehensive movie and music collection, bringing children to
storytimes and other special events, attending family events, and
more; the citizens of Paulding County are finding that their local
public library is there with the services they need to enrich their
lives.
Join us in celebrating this wonderful old building on Thursday,
March 3, the 100th anniversary of the opening of the library. From
12:30-7:30 p.m., the library team will be offering tours, providing
refreshments and sharing scrapbooks with memories from decades
past. Perhaps you will find a photo of yourself at a storytime or
summer reading club. Maybe you will see a picture of your mother
at an art show. It is fun to browse through the history of the library
especially if you were part of that history!
A special ribbon-cutting will be held at 1:30 p.m. March 3 to
welcome in the next century of library service to Paulding County.
Each guest will receive a special memento to commemorate this
event. Hope to see you soon at your Carnegie Library.
NOTE: The Progress is planning to print a special publication
commemorating the librarys centennial. Look for it soon.

PAULDING John J. Gosnell, 26, of Paulding, was sentenced after changing his plea
to guilty of aggravated robbery
(F1) recently.
Gosnell was arrested in November in connection with the
Nov. 12 robbery of the Maramart gas station at 1001 N.
Williams St. in Paulding.
He was ordered to serve a stated prison term of six years with
the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction with 87
days credit for time served.
A 9mm semi-automatic
handgun used in the commission of the crime was forfeited
to the Paulding Police Department and $350 was returned to
the victim.
Recently, Gosnell also has
been sentenced for similar robberies days apart in Defiance and
Gosnell
Van Wert. In Van Wert County,

he was sentenced to nine years
in prison for aggravated robbery,
to be served concurrently with
terms handed down in Defiance
and Paulding counties. In Defiance County, Gosnell was given
a 10-year prison term for aggravated robbery.

Mark Holtsberry, and Nola Ginter, Clerk.
MEETING NOTES OF APPOINTMENTS
Jonathan White and Mario Cespedes,
Laborers International Union of North
America, Ohio Labor District Council
and Travis McGarvey, Paulding County
Engineer - White and Cespedes introduced
themselves and explained they represent
local members from the 329 in Lima. They
went on to say they requested this meeting
with the commissioners and the county
engineer to discuss wind farm road agreements.
White commended Paulding County
for the agreements we had in place with the
wind farms that have already been completed. He pointed out that in 2012, Ohio
Attorney General Mike DeWine penned an
opinion regarding road maintenance agreements. A copy of the opinion and other documents were supplied to the commissioners
and to the county engineer.

McGarvey noted he will be meeting
with EDP next week to work on the road
maintenance agreement for their next wind
farm project. White referred to the sample
agreement in his handout to use as a reference.
Audit Committee - In attendance for the
fourth quarter Audit Committee meeting
were Ann Pease, Carol Temple, Claudia
Fickel, Tiffany Beckman and Jason Landers.
Treasurer Lou Ann Wannemacher
presented the Investment Report as of

$10,741,195.50 invested on behalf of the
county.
Ms. Fickel, County Auditor, distributed

for the 2015 year were $1,935,517.67, an
increase of 7.41% from 2014. Conveyance
fees were down from 2014. Fickel explained there was unusually high farm land
sales in 2014 that inflated the conveyance
fees.

Inc. has the information to begin the preliminary reports in preparation for the state
audit. The Plattenburg CPA firm will begin
the official audit for 2015 in March.
The commissioners led the group into a

debit or credit card.
Temple reported a recent increase in
activity in her office from wind farm companies, making copies for wind energy
projects.

Old dog, new tricks? The importance of 4R Nutrient

As I sit here looking out my
kitchen window, I see snowflakes gently falling outside.
They are small, but blowing
around as if to say, Winter is
not over yet. I still have a few
puffs of wind left.
I always thought, and maybe
I still do, that winter is one of
my favorite times of the year.
There is nothing better than
making soup, hot tea, reading a
good book and curling up by a
nice warm fire. This all sounds
so comfy, but trust me winter
does play havoc with many
plans, school delays, plays,
cars, heat bills and even a walk
outside can be treacherous.
With my vehicle sitting outside, as you know from a few
weeks ago, all of my car doors
froze up and it was hard getting
them open. One thing I have
personally had trouble learning to do is to pump gas in my
car. With many many teachers
through the years, I still have
not captured the knack of it. I
think I am just too short to see
the numbers on the pumps.
The other day I decided to go
get gas in my car. I go to a station whose workers know me
and pumps my gas for me. I saw
the attendant and said, Hey
good-lookin, where have you
been? Then knowing I needed
gas I said, Fill er up.
This of course was another
cold day, but my butter spray I
had sprayed on my car doors (as
you know) seemed to be working and I did get my doors open.
I pulled up by a gas tank and
gave the guy my card. However, it was cold out and so I left
my car running. I mean, I saw
a penny
for your Thoughts
By Nancy Whitaker
other people pumping their gas

with the motor running, so why
couldnt I? The attendant ran
my card through and when he
turned to pump the gas, my gas
cap would not budge. I have a
switch on the inside I push and
it is supposed to open by itself.
I had pushed the switch and so
after it would not open, I continued to flip the switch to no avail.
I told him, I bet it is froze up.
The poor guy then got out a
screwdriver and tried to open
the gas cap and it just was not
about to open. He said, Well
I am not sure what to do. I really dont want to scratch up
your car by prying it off. So,
he decided to go inside and get
another tool. I sat there praying,
God please let it open, I really
need gas, I really need to run errands.
After sitting a few more minutes I thought, Well it is beginning to warm up in here, so I
may as well shut off my car to
save what gas I do have. So after turning off the motor I gave
the gas tank switch one more

last flip.
What do you know? The gas
cap came open just as the attendant came out with a bigger
tool. He said, What did you
do?
I replied, I shut my motor
off. Unbeknownst to me, my
car has a safety feature which
wont let you open the gas tank
with the motor running. After
all this time, I did not know that.
Of course, I have never read the
manual, so maybe I should.
Is it against the law to let your
motor run while getting gas? It
must not be because others were
doing it. How was I to know?
Well, I do now. So, my eternal
saga of learning to pump gas
and things about my car continue.
I guess it is a good thing because I am learning something

Stewardship principles in ag
By Staci Miller
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
Last week, the Paulding
SWCD attended the 4R Nutrient Stewardship Seminar in
Fort Wayne.
The 4R Nutrient Stewardship focuses on the scientific
principles of right source, right
rate, right time and right place
to achieve cropping system
goals. 4R nutrient stewardship provides a framework to
achieve increased production,
increased farmer profitability,
enhanced environmental protection and improved sustainability.
The goal of fertilizer best
management practices (BMPs)
is to match nutrient supply
with crop requirements and to
minimize nutrient losses. Agriculture is facing challenges
that include population pressures. According to the United
Nations, the global population
will increase by two billion
people in the next 40 years,
and this will force a need for
more food production.
Also, agriculturists are
being pressured to limit the
use of fertilizers. Legislative,
Terry McClure (center) of Grover Hill speaks at the 4R Stewardship meeting last week in Fort Wayne.
regulatory and non-government organization activities
include legal action pertaining
to nutrients in the environment.
The 4R Nutrient Stewardship Certification Program encourages agricultural retailers,
nutrient service providers and
other certified professionals
to adopt proven best practices
through the 4Rs. The goals of
this certification program is to
maximize crop nutrient uptake
and minimize losses, have a
positive impact on local water
bodies, provide up-to-date information on nutrient stewardship and help the agriculture
sector adapt to new research
and technology.
This seminar featured
speakers who discussed the 4R
research data, the relevancy of
the program and allowed local
growers to give their perspective on the 4Rs.
The goal of the 4Rs is to
maintain agricultural productivity while improving the
quality of Lake Erie and its
contributing watersheds.
Cancer society in need of

Road to Recovery volunteers
00162773
DEFIANCE Imagine being told theres help for your illness,

but you dont have a way to get there. For many cancer patients,
lack of transportation is the only thing standing between them and
successful treatment.
The American Cancer Society is working to solve that problem by
enhancing Road to Recovery in northwest Ohio. Road to Recovery
matches volunteer drivers with cancer patients in need. Drivers use
their own vehicles and gas to take patients undergoing cancer treatment to and from their appointments.
Two volunteer driver trainings will be held in the area this month:
Tuesday, Feb. 23 from 10-11:30 a.m. at Cabin Fever Coffee Shop,
downtown Defiance, and Thursday, Feb. 25 from 2-3:30 p.m. at the
Fulton County Health Department, South Shoop Avenue, Wauseon.
Anyone with a valid drivers license, reliable vehicle, good driving
record and daytime availability is invited to attend.
Because of strong medications, some patients really should not
be driving after treatment. Others may not have a car or connections
to anyone who could drive them, said Marybeth Torsell, mission
delivery manager with the American Cancer Society. This is where
a program like Road to Recovery and its dedicated volunteers can
really make a positive difference in someones life.
While the program is already available in the area, more drivers
are needed to meet demand.
Torsell says the trainings are for new drivers from Defiance, Fulton, Henry, Paulding or Williams counties.
To register for the training, or for more information, call Torsell at
1-888-227-6446, extension 5101 or email Marybeth.torsell@cancer.
org.
New volunteers need only attend one of the training dates. Interested persons who are unable to attend a class should contact Torsell
to discuss an online training option.

DeLong sees a bright future for Antwerp
By JOE SHOUSE
Progress Staff Writer
Part 2 of a Series
ANTWERP After serving as Antwerps mayor from
2008-12, Ray DeLong decided
to throw his name back in the
ring of local, small town politics. So, following a four year
absence, DeLong carried out a
successful run for the same position he once held and is anxious to lead the village he has
called home for most of his life.
When interviewing DeLong,
the River Street Market fire
had just happened and he was
well aware of the tremendous
impact it would bring to the
community and how important
it is for a small town to have its
own grocery store. Even with
this major set back to the village, DeLong still sees many
foundational positives to lay
out his future plans.
Like most any small village,
the new mayor sees growth
and development as key to
stimulating a brighter future
its 1,880 residents.
We are fortunate and yet
challenged with two areas or
locations of interest. Obviously
we have the downtown village
area as well as the U.S. 24/
Ohio 49 exchange. Trying to
get commercial development
that will create jobs as well as
industrial growth is key to our
future, said DeLong.
The U.S. 24 area is a location
the mayor says continues to be

a priority. Its an area that is
being marketed and like anyone else, DeLong visualizes
restaurants, hotels and other
businesses at that location one
day.
We have this prime location that can be a great benefit
to our community and county
as we work together to increase
the job force. We need to do all
we can to make the highway
exchange an attractive area for
increasing the job force. Creating jobs is a priority and although I have only been in this
position a few weeks, I plan to
do all that is possible to make
our village better and more productive, said DeLong.
DeLong serves as a board
member of the Community Improvement Corporation (CIC)
that is in communication and
ongoing negotiations to bring
those types of businesses to the
area.
When working with the village council and developing a
team concept of working together the mayor leads by example and by a rather simple
motto.
Its always about what
is best for the village. What
people need to know is that
the mayor doesnt vote but
leads. I will be open and share
my views with all the committees. We have a great group of
council members and a positive

consider the best solution for

the community and its people.
I will share my ideas, lead
people to a solution as we
work together to solve our
problems. I want to lead and
promote in order to develop a
better community we can all
be proud of calling home,
said DeLong.
Within the village, the
mayor has a couple of shortterm goals that he would like
to see developed and carried
out.
One goal is sidewalk restoration. We have an ordinance
for this and we need to get
back to doing what we can to
improve our sidewalks. This
would do a couple of things in
a positive way. First, it would
add a better appearance in our
neighborhoods and it would
also bring a level of safety to
those areas where sidewalks
are needed, said DeLong.
Another short-term and yet
an ongoing goal coming from
the mayors office is the clean
up of homes and the removal
of junk cars.
This is important for the
overall look of the community.
We will continue to look for
grant money to help us clean
up the village as we do all we
can to make Antwerp a small
village with a positive attitude
with a sense of pride.
When Ray considers individuals that he admires or
looks up to, he doesnt hesitate to consider those people
who are local and have been
and continue to be community
minded leaders.
There are probably several
I would consider, but people
who come to mind are Tony
Langham, Sara Keeran and

Doug Bragg. I have seen what

they have done firsthand and
they are certainly people who
have leadership qualities that I
admire.
DeLong, born and raised in
Antwerp, is a U.S. Army Airborne veteran who also served
as a village council member in
the late 1970s and early 80s.
The mayor has two sons and
three grand children who all
live in Antwerp.
The mayor worked 18 years
at International Harvester until
it closed in 1982 and then continued in the workforce, being
employed 26 years at what
was called Spec Temp at the
time before retiring in 2009.
As a member of the VFW,
American Legion and Conservation Club, DeLong stays
active in his community and
believes others should do the
same when possible.
I think its important to
stay involved. Its a great way
to meet people and hear whats
on the mind of those who share
similar ideas about the village.
I love my town and I think its
a great place to live.
Note: Five new mayors took
office in the county in January:
Steve Wober of Payne Village,
Ray DeLong of Antwerp Village, Brian Ripke of Oakwood
Village, Greg Reinhart of
Paulding Village, and Donna
Greear of Broughton Village.
We will be interviewing each.

Wayne Trace claims 27th GMC title
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
HAVILAND Ethan Linder
scored 25 points and Luke
Miller added 24 as the Wayne
Trace Raiders claimed their
27th Green Meadows Conference championship in school
history with a 78-67 win over
county rival Antwerp Friday
night at the Palace.
The Raiders never trailed
in the contest, jumping in
front 21-10 after one quarter
in improving to 13-7 overall
and 6-1 in the league. Wayne
Trace, which won its fourth
consecutive league championship, ties for the crown with
Ayersville, a 69-52 winner
over Tinora Friday night.
Jon Sinn and Miller each
hit a pair of 3-pointers in the
opening quarter for Wayne
Trace, which also got a trey by
Ethan Linder.
The early hole was critical, according to Archer head
coach T.J. Hammer.
We dug ourselves an early hole and you cant do that
against Wayne Trace, Hammer noted. I cant fault our
effort overall, it was there. But
we have to be better defensively.
Wayne Trace continued to
widen the margin in the second quarter, using buckets by
Linder, Cole Shepherd and
Miller along with two Alec
Vest free throws for a 29-14
advantage.
Two Miller free throws extended the lead to 35-19 before Antwerp closed the half
with a mini-run.
A three-point play by Sam
Williamson, two buckets

from Trey Mills and another Williamson basket got the
Archers within 39-28 at the
intermission.
I thought our guys battled
tonight, Hammer added. We
kept fighting but we just have
to be better on the defensive
end.
Antwerp closed within 4637 midway through the third
quarter on a Josh Poulson
basket before Wayne Trace responded.
A 13-0 Raider run, highlighted by 3-pointers by Miller, Linder and Sinn, pushed
the margin to 59-37 and the
hosts went on to record a 5944 lead at the end of three
quarters.
The Archers did trim the
deficit to 63-53 at the 4:06
mark of the fourth quarter on
a Longardner foul shot.
However, Wayne Trace
quickly responded with a Cole
Shepherd free throw and an
Ethan Linder offensive rebound and basket to make it
66-53 Raiders with 3:54 remaining.
Antwerp put together one
final run, getting within 69-60
after two Mills foul shots with
2:30 left in the contest.
The Raiders picked up a
Brady Stabler three-point play
while a pair of Linder free
throws put Wayne Trace in
front 76-64 at the two-minute
mark and essentially seal the
Wayne Trace victory.
Im very proud of the
guys, commented Wayne
Trace head coach Jim Linder.
Weve had to battle some adversity this year but they have
played through it. Its always

a challenge to win a league
crown so we will enjoy tonight and then get ready for
tomorrow.
Jon Sinn added nine points
for Wayne Trace and Brady
Stabler chipped in seven. Eli
Sinn (five), Alec Vest (four),
Cole Shepherd (three) and
Justin Speice (one) also scored
for the Raiders.
Williamson paced Antwerp
with 19 points while Longardner added 14 and Mills
chipped in a dozen. Matt Jones
also recorded 11 points for
the Archers, who fall to 9-11
overall and 1-6 in the league.

Raiders win on Steve Hall Night
By KEVIN
WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
HAVILAND Two teams that came together because of one man decided 32 minutes of basketball wasnt enough to decide a
winner.
However, host Wayne Trace outscored
visiting Grandview Heights 14-6 in overtime to post an 82-74 win over the Bobcats
in the Steve Hall Memorial Game held Saturday night at the Palace.
The night was highlighted by a 20-minute ceremony honoring the late Steve Hall,
a 1988 graduate of Wayne Trace that led the
Raiders to their first-ever state tournament
in 1987 at the University of Dayton.
It was a night that wasnt so much about
winning and losing as it was the reason all
were in attendance, remembering a great

Jim Bowers/Paulding County Progress Raider and a great Bobcat. Hall also taught
Luke Miller #10 soars towards the basket in the first half against and coached at Grandview Heights after
Grandview Heights last Saturday in the Steve Hall memorial game. graduating from The Ohio State University
and Ohio Dominican.
Tied at 68-68 at the end of regulation,
buckets by Ethan Linder and Cole Shepherd put Wayne Trace on top 72-68 with
2:34 remaining in overtime.
After a pair of Bobcat misses, a steal and
basket by Luke Miller made it 74-68 at the
1:43 mark.
Andre Readey connected on one of two
foul shots to get the Bobcats within 74-69
but two Linder free throws extended the
margin to 76-69 with one minute left.
Grandview Heights then closed to within 77-74 after a Breon Backus basket with
34.5 seconds left but that would be the final
Bobcat points of the night.
Linder then picked up two more free

throws and Alec Vest hit three of four foul
shots to close out the Raider victory.
But the talk after the game wasnt about
who won or lost.
What a wonderful experience for our
players to be a part of, commented Grandview Heights coach Ray Corbett. The atmosphere of the crowd and the great turnout
here just shows what people think of Steve
Hall. It was an honor to be a part of this and
there is no place that we would have rather
been tonight than here as a part of this.
Steve obviously meant so much too
both communities, Corbett said. For this
to take place, it is a great tribute to Steve and
his family on the impact that has been made
in both school districts. This game was just
a perfect topping to a wonderful evening.
It was a wonderful way to recognize
and honor Steve and the Hall family, stated Wayne Trace Athletic Director and head
coach Jim Linder. I think you saw two
communities really come together and remember a very classy individual in a very
special way.
The highlight of the game came at the
start of the contest as Steves son Eli, a
sophomore on the Grandview Heights roster, started against his cousin, Justin Speice,
a senior on the Wayne Trace squad.
Both teams crowd stood at the start of
the game and applauded as the two took
the opening tip.
Eli is a great kid, Corbett continued.
He works very hard and he is very similar
to his dad in a lot of ways. He is going to
be a nice player for us in the future and I
am looking forward to having the opportu-
nity to work with him the next two years.

Wayne Trace led at the end of one quarter 23-15 and the Raiders posted a 40-33
lead at the intermission.
Grandview Heights took its first lead of
the contest at 42-41 on a basket by Readey
before Wayne Trace quickly answered.
Two free throws and a basket by Linder
along with a Jon Sinn bucket put the Raiders back on top 47-42. Wayne Trace held a
slim 52-50 advantage after three quarters.
The Bobcats went back in front midway through the fourth quarter, getting a
three-pointer from Jake Bush and a basket
by Backus to go on top 64-61 with 2:22
remaining.
Following a Bush two-pointer that made
it 66-63, a Linder trey knotted the score at
66-66 with 1:19 left.
A Linder basket was answered by a
bucket by Jordan Butler with nine seconds
left in regulation, sending the game into
overtime tied at 68-68.
Ethan Linder led all scorers with 31
points for Wayne Trace with Alec Vest
adding 16 and Luke Miller chipping in 11.
Linder also had nine rebounds to go along
with seven assists and four steals.
Jake Bush topped Grandview Heights
with 20 points and Andre Readey chipped
in a dozen. Micah Miller added 11 points
for the Bobcats.
I was proud of our community tonight
and it just shows what a great school district that we have and as well as what a
great school district Grandview Heights
is, concluded Jim Linder. And I think we
all saw tonight what Steve and Hall family
means to this school district.

Arellanos buzzer-beater Lady Archers surprise No. 12

lifts Panthers past Bryan Raiders in season finale
By JIM LANGHAM
Sportswriter
PAULDING A spectacular ending to Pauldings home
game with Bryan on Saturday
night brought a tourney-like
explosion to the house when,
with the score tied at 55-55,
Alex Arellano grabbed a rebound and slammed a spectacular put back off the glass at
the buzzer for a thrilling 57-55
Paulding win.
With three seconds left in
the contest and Bryan leading
55-54, Arellano was fouled.
He connected on the first of
two from the charity stripe to
tie the score at 55-55. When he
missed the second attempt, he
quickly sprung for the rebound
and scored the redemption shot
for the Paulding come-frombehind win.
A solid Bryan second quarter, in which John Garza scored
13 points, shot the Golden
Bears to a 37-26lead over
the local squad at the halfway
mark. However, the Panthers
roared out and immediately
outscored the visitors 16-6 in
the third quarter to pull back
into the thick of the game.
At the beginning of the
fourth quarter, Arellano put
Paulding ahead with a quick
basket and it was bucket
matching bucket for the rest of
the nail-biter.
With 34 seconds remaining,
Arellano scored to give the local squad a 54-51 advantage.
However, back to back baskets
by Bryans Dylan Lehmann
and Jaden Valderas put the
Golden Bears on top, 55-54,
with eight seconds remaining
and set thestages for the final
drama.
I told the fellows right after
the game that this was the way
to battle, said Paulding head
coach Shawn Brewer. Our
guys played really hard. It was
a great battle between both
teams.
Alex Arellano #32 goes in for a second half score against Bryan last Saturday night.
Im very proud of the fellows; they kept their composure, continued Brewer. I
thought our defense looked
much better the second half.
Once again Arellano led all
scoring with 25 points while
Corbin Edwards also scored
in double figures with 11
points for Paulding. Garza led
the visitors with 17 points although the Paulding defense
held him to four points aside
from the second quarter. In
addition, Valderas scored 12
points for the Golden Bears.
We needed this tonight,
said Brewer. We beat a really
good team. We needed this to
pick us back up and get us prepared as we go into the final

week of play.

ANTWERP It was senior
night at Antwerp and the Lady
Archers pulled off what many
would call an upset. The girls
in blue-and-white, playing
their best game of the year,
finish the season at 10-12 in
defeating the 12th ranked (Division IV) Raiders 46-40.
This was a nice win for the
girls. The seniors never have
beaten Wayne Trace and so its
a great way to end the regular
season. We need to take this
and use it to carry us into the
tournament, said Antwerp
head coach Scott McMichael.
The Lady Archers trailed
briefly the first couple of minutes, but once Antwerp senior
Kiana Recker connected on
back-to-back buckets followed by a 3-point goal from
senior Avery Braaten, it put
the blue-and-white on top 9-6
and the Archers never trailed
again.
The first quarter ended with
senior Audrie Longardner
draining a runner as the buzzer
sounded and a 14-10 margin
in favor of the Archers.
Tonight was a solid effort
from our team. We rebounded
much better and we didnt turn
the ball over. Our execution
on offense is something weve
been working on in practice
and I thought tonight we really came through, said McMichael.
Antwerps defense stiffened
in the second period allowing
the Raiders just two baskets,
one each from their leading
scorer Erin Mohr and freshman Sadie Sinn.
While holding the Raiders to just six second quarter
points the Archers collected
10 markers with Recker coming up with five. Both teams
went to halftime with the Archers in front 24-16.
Both teams struggled in the
third period with neither taking advantage of the first five
or six possessions.
Wayne Trace broke the ice
with a Danae Myers bucket
and a Mohr triple to pull the
Lady Raiders with three at 2421 with four minutes remaining.
Both teams traded baskets
down the stretch with Hope
Smith closing out the third
frame with an Archer basket
and a 30-26 lead heading into
the final eight minutes of play.
In the fourth quarter, Antwerps super sophomore, Rachel Williamson came up big
with 11 of her 16 points. Two
buckets by Williamson and
another from Recker had the
Archers on top 36-28 but the
Raider five of coach Bethany
Hughes answered with an 8-0
run on a Mohr two pointer and
three and a Gracie Gudakunst
trey to knot the score at 36-36
and forcing an Antwerp timeout with 4:38 remaining.
Both teams continued to
trade baskets and with 2:15
remaining the score was still
even at 40 a piece. A Williamson basket and Recker free
throw widened the Archer
advantage to three with 1:27
remaining.
The Archers closed out the
battle with solid defense and
denying the Raiders the inside
and Williamson hitting three
free throws to closeout the six
point win.
Peyton Short did a nice job
handling the ball when they
pressed us. When the ball was
in her hands or in Rachels
we managed to get it up court
without turning it over. We
were able to handle their pressure for the most part and that
was key for us, McMichael
said.
Williamson finished with a
double-double with 16 points
and 11 rebounds. Recker, who
had one of her best outings of

Varsity Basketball: Antwerp Archers

Pendergrast, a part-time starter, usually
comes off the bench to give the Archers 20
plus minutes. Now the Archers will need to get
more quality minutes from its regulars as well
as having the bench ready to contribute.
We will need to adjust some things. Pendy
was our energy guy. He went to the glass and
mixed it up in the middle. We will miss his
play but we will make the adjustments necessary to be competitive, said Hammer.
Against the Cadets, the blue-and-white
jumped out to a 22-7 lead on nine points from
Matt Jones from the outside and seven points
from Josh Longardner on the inside. Hilltop
found their shooting eye and responded with a
10-0 run to pull within five on a Tim Maneval
3-pointer to open the second quarter.
The Archers managed to increase their advantage to 16 on a Trey Mills triple and a Sam
Williamson bucket to put the Archers on top
39-23; its largest lead of the night. Antwerp
settled for a 41-29 lead at intermission.
We shot well tonight and I thought we
played with confidence offensively. The guys
fed off of each others energy and stayed focused. Hilltop is a young team but they are
very good, contimued Hammer.
Antwerp held its 10-12 point margin
throughout the third stanza until sophomore
Steven Riley connected on back-to-back
3-pointers to bring the Cadets to within five
51-46 with 2:17 remaining in the third. Hilltop would not get any closer as the Archers
closed out the period holding a 57-48 advantage heading into the final quarter.
The Antwerp lead grew to as many as 16
down the stretch. Holding a 65-55 advantage the Archers answered with a Williamson
bucket, a Jones triple, his fourth of the night, a
Longardner free throw for a 71-55 lead.
Jones finished the night with 24 points to
lead all scorers. Williamson and Longardner
were both in double digits with Sam netting 21
and Josh adding 13. The win gives the Archers
a 10-11 record and looks to even the season
with a home date this Friday when the host
Woodlan.
Hilltop, who started three juniors and two
sophomores, had three scorers in double figures. Quinn Smith led the Cadets with 20 with
Tim Maneval adding 11 and 6-5 Ryan Brooker
chipping in 10. With the loss the Cadets fall to
12-9 overall.
Antwerp girls by 10
over Hilltop
WEST UNITY The Antwerp Lady Archers made the long trip to West Unity for its
last regular season away game. The trip home
must have felt shorter after the Archers posted
a 10 point win over the Lady Cadets 40-30.
After a slow start for both teams the Archers
came alive offensively in the second quarter to
outscore the Cadets 13-4. The second quarter
blitz gave the blue-and-white a double digit
halftime lead 18-7.
We played really well defensively in the
first half. I think we stifled them defensively
and they struggled shooting the ball, said
head coach Scott McMichael.
The second half was played to a near standoff with Hilltop outscoring McMichaels crew,
23-22.
In the low-scoring affair the Archers had
no double-digit scorers but had balance with
two players with eight points each from Rachel Williamson and Peyton Short and seven
points, all from the foul line, from Audrie Longardner.
We designed some plays for Audrie. She
was fouled several times that allowed her to
go to the line. She did a good job for us, said
McMichael.
With the win, Antwerp improves its record
to 9-12 with the Cadets falling to 7-14 including five losses in a row.

Archers outlast Hilltop
ANTWERP After coming off an emotional game on Friday night against county
and conference rival Wayne Trace, the Antwerp Archers were back on the court Saturday
night. Playing Buckeye Border Conference
member Hilltop, the Archers shot the ball well
and came out on top 71-57.
I was really pleased with our play tonight.
We exerted a lot of energy on Friday night
and had to play some guys more minutes than
usual but I thought we responded to the challenge, said Antwerp head coach TJ Hammer.
Unfortunately for the Archers, preliminary
reports indicate that Brandon Pendergrast,
who received a knee injury in the Wayne
Trace game, will most likely not play the rest
of the season and tournament according to the
head coach.

HAVILAND Emily Bauer
scored 15 points to lead four
Crestview players in double
figures as the Knights shut
down Wayne Trace 59-49 in
non-league girls basketball
action Monday evening at the
Palace.
The Knights outscored
the Raiders 32-13 over a
nine-minute span midway
through the contest and Crestview never looked back in improving to 15-4 on the season.
Bauer led the way for the
visiting Knights, grabbing
nine rebounds and blocking
six shots. Paige Motycka,
Brady Guest and Claire Zaleski also added 11 points each
for Crestview.
We got good balanced
scoring again tonight, commented Knight head coach
Greg Rickard. That is kind of
the way we have been playing
and the girls do a good job of
getting the ball to each other.
Crestview also got a solid
effort from Lyvia Black, who
connected on a trio of 3-pointers to finish with nine points.
She stepped up and hit
some big shots for us, Rickard
continued. We have had different girls step up on different
nights and that was something
the girls did again tonight.
After posting a 12-9 lead
after one quarter, Wayne Trace
widened the margin to 22-15
midway through the second
quarter following a basket by
Estie Sinn and a Brooke Sinn
free throw.
However, the rest of the half
belonged to the Knights.
Two baskets each by Guest
and Bauer, a single bucket
by Zaleski and two foul shots
from Leslie Skelton put Crestview on top 27-22.
We got in a little bit of foul
trouble there in the second
quarter with Courtney (Mead)
and Danae (Myers) both having two, noted Raider mentor Bethany Hughes. But we
have to be able to play through
those situations and Crestview
took advantage. We need to
have other girls step up and be
ready to play in those types of
situations.
Wayne Traces Gracie
Gudakunst connected on a
3-pointer at the halftime buzz-
er to get the Raiders within

27-25 at the break.
The Raiders opened the
second half with an 8-4 run,
using two Danae Myers baskets along with buckets from
Courtney Mead and Brooke
Sinn to go in front 33-31.
Crestview, though, controlled the rest of the quarter.
A pair of Zaleski baskets, a
bucket from Motycka and
back-to-back treys by Zaleski
and Bauer gave the Knights a
43-33 lead with 1:33 left in the
stanza.
I thought our defensive
pressure was good tonight and
we were able to keep them
from what they wanted to do
offensively, Rickard added.
We took some bad shots
and turned the ball over, added Hughes. Defensively, we
didnt do a good job of taking
shots away and they were able
to hit them. It is something we
have to learn from.
Crestview went on to lead 4737 at the end of three periods.
Wayne Trace did make a run
to start the fourth quarter.

Following a bucket by Guest to
make it 49-37, a Gudakunst foul
shot and a Mohr basket pulled
Wayne Trace within 49-40. The
Raiders added two straight Myers buckets to cut the deficit to
49-44 before a Crestview timeout with 5:14 remaining.
Out of the stoppage, the
Knights got 3-pointers from
Motycka and Black on their
next two possessions to take
control with a 55-44 lead at
the 4:08 mark and Crestview
cruised to the win from there.

The Antwerp Local School Library completed its book fair

and sold nearly $7,800 worth of merchandise. Because of this
record-breaking amount, the Antwerp Local School Library was
able to keep around $4,300 in Scholastic books for its collection.
Mrs. Kayla Bagley and Mrs. Heather Barnhouse would like to
thank everyone who contributed to the book fair. Seen here is second grader Camryn McAlexander, filling out her wish list of books.

In the absence of color
Some of the garden shows I

go to have a theme. In 2011,
the Philadelphia Flower
Shows theme was April in
Paris, and each of the demonstration gardens was a take on
that theme.
The entrance was a replica
of the base of the Eiffel Tower
- not quite life-sized, but big
enough that attendees of the
show walked under it as they
came in. The grounds below
were smothered in flowers and
there was a recording of bird
sounds, making it feel as much
like spring as is possible to do
in March, inside a convention
center.
This years Northwest Flower
& Garden show in Seattle,
going on right now, has America the Beautiful as its theme.
Of course, theres a lot of red,
white, and blue, in garden art
and floral displays, but there are
cultural American vignettes as
well.
The only themed garden I
can ever remember purposely
having is the year that I grew
burgundy and purple varieties
of several vegetables. Okra,
sweet corn, snap beans, lettuce,
and carrots. It was quirky and it
was fun.
Many grow a white gar-
In the Garden
By Kylee Baumle
den, often called a moon garden, because the white flowers

seem to glow in the dark as
they reflect the light of a bright
moon. Several years in a row,
I planted snow-on-the-mountain (Euphorbia marginata
Kilimanjaro), an annual with
white-edged bracts on the top
one-third of the plant. On a
full moon night, we could spot
them all the way at the back of
the property from our upstairs
bedroom window.
The most famous white garden in the world is undoubtedly
the one planted by horticultural
great, Vita Sackville-West, at
Sissinghurst Castle, in England,
in 1931. Her garden was immensely popular and started a

trend of white gardens throughout the world.
White gardens are considered
to be peaceful, relaxing, elegant,
romantic, and symbolize purity.
It isnt uncommon for brides to
request their outdoor weddings
to be in a white garden or to be
accessorized by all white flowers.
When planting a white garden, bloom times should be
varied, so that something is in
bloom no matter what time of
the season it is. Foliage with
white accents will always be
present, but white flowers are
generally frillier and with varying blooms will provide enough
interest that you wont even notice the lack of bright colors.
Here in Zone 5b, we have
no shortage of white-blooming
plants to choose from. Here are
some of the most attractive and
easy-to-grow varieties:
Clematis Duchess of Edinburgh
White bleeding heart (Lamprocapnos alba)
Anemone Honorine Jobert (Perennial of the Year for
2016)
Delphinium Snowgoose
Echinacea White Swan
Snow-on-the-mountain has flowers that are small and unremarkable, but the bracts, with their
white markings, light up the garden, during both day and night. Like most euphorbias, it has a
milky latex sap, so use caution when handling it.
Tulipa White Dream
Leucanthemum Daisy
Duke
Allium Mount Everest
Helleborus Sparkling Diamond
Lilium Casa Blanca
Rosa Glamis Castle
Paeonia Krinkled White
Phlox David
Physostegia Miss Manners

Carex Snow Cap
Theres also an abundance
of hostas to choose from, in all
sizes, leaf shapes, and green/
white combinations. And no
Ohio white garden should be
without our state wildflower,
the giant white trillium.
I might devote a section of the

garden to white flowers myself
this year, just to get my glow on.

culminating with the Global
Leaders Summit at the Hague
in the Netherlands.
Dr. Miller will join a delegation of educational administrators from across the U.S. who
will travel to Finland, a country boasting one of the worlds
highest performing education
systems. During the first six
days of the trip, participants
will explore global education
through workshops, visits to

and Human Rights.
Attendees will hear from
world-renowned human rights

Gandhi and Nelson Mandela.
Attendees will also work in
teams to address global challenges in education and gain
insight into innovative ideas
for school communities and
classrooms.
I am honored and grateful
to have this opportunity to explore other global models of
education and spend time with
leaders from around the world
to collaborate on ways to
move education forward and
better prepare our students for
an unknown future, said Dr.
Save more and earn more this season!
Miller on receiving this scholarship. If we expect our children and students to be self-directed global citizens who pursue collaboration to better our
communities and embrace the
future, then we must lead and
model the path.
