Standing on the podium with the other top finishers at the boys Division III cross country
meet is Sam Williamson. The Antwerp junior competed in the state meet and finished fifth after
taking 10th place last year.
By JOE SHOUSE
Progress Staff Writer
PAULDING Last week
the Ohio Department of
Education named schools
across Ohio who were
recognized for various levels
of academic distinction.
Paulding Elementary School
was selected as a recipient
of awards in two categories
including the School of
Promise and High Progress
School of Honor based on
their 2014 Ohio School
Report Card.
The distinction Paulding
Elementary received brought
excitement to the staff,
teachers as well as students
upon hearing of their
accomplishments.
We have great teachers
here at PES and its amazing
how they not only want to
teach their students but they

also have a willingness
to learn themselves, said
Principal Stephanie Tear. I
am so proud of our teachers
and the students.
To qualify as a School of
Promise, a building must
meet several academic
criteria while serving at least
40 percent economically
disadvantaged students while
at least 80 percent of students
must have rated proficient
in math and reading. There
were 98 schools named to the
School of Promise category.
I believe our classroom
success is a result of teachers
believing in their students and
giving them the opportunity
to learn. Our teachers have
given students ownership to
Williamson fifth
at XC state meet Only one signup
By KEVIN WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
HEBRON Antwerp junior Sam Williamson
wrapped up a very successf l cross-country
season on Saturday as the Archer runner
finished in fifth place in the Division III meet
at National Trail Raceway in Hebron.
Williamson ran a 16:13.68 to claim the fifth
place finish and was the first northwest Ohio
runner to cross the finish line.
Every time you enter a race you want to
win but Im happy with my performance and
fifth place. The cold didnt bother me but
when youre running up front and you have
a windy day like Saturday then it becomes a
factor, said Williamson.
Maplewood junior Tristan Dahmen claimed
the state championship, crossing the line with
a time of 15:57.53, while Mineral Ridge senior
Logan Smith took second in 15:58.15.
Maplewood junior Allen Sparks was third in
16:06.12 and Summit Country Day senior John

Murdock placed fourth in 16:09.51.
Coldwater senior Jon Wenning took seventh
in 16:21.19 and Crestview senior Mycah
Grandstaff was eighth in 16:21.69.
Williamson was third after the first mile,
running a 5:04.61, but fell to fifth at the end of
two miles with a time of 10:35.23.
Throughout the race, the top runners stayed
together and it wasnt until the last few hundred
yards that everyone made their move.
There were 15 of us who were in a pack and at
the end the top five guys kicked in for the finish
line, said Williamson.
The four runners who finished ahead of
Williamson are split in the classroom with two
being seniors and two being juniors. I didnt
know them and never ran against them before,
Williamson said.
Williamson, who ran in last years state meet
finished 10th with a time of 16:25.09

CONCRETE PLANS
As seen from the
air, the three new
barns at the Paulding
County Fairgrounds
are starting to take
shape. As of today,
all three building
foundations and
lower concrete walls
are poured. Crews
are preparing to pour
the concrete floors.
When the weather
cooperates, hopefully
before this weekend,
they will pour floors
in all three buildings.

Sidewalks, water rates, trash Fall family gatherings

pick-up top Antwerp agenda a time to reconnect
By JOE SHOUSE

ANTWERP After moving their meeting
back a week to the fourth Monday of the
month, the Antwerp Council met in regular
session on Oct. 27.
The village will proceed with the Safe
Routes to School after receiving funding in
the amount of $187,000. Council heard the
first readings on water rate increases and trash
pick-up in the village.
The Ohio Department of Transportation
awarded the village $187,000 as a part of
phase two of the safe routes to school program.
Sidewalks will be installed from Kroos Drive
down to the north side of East Canal to
Harrmann Road, and down the west side of
Harrmann Road to the school. An additional
ten foot right-of-way is needed on Harrmann
Road and is estimated to cost approximately
$15,000. The village will be responsible for
the right-of-way expense. Construction of the
sidewalks is estimated to begin in the spring
of 2016.
First readings were made for the following:
An ordinance seeking bids for the
collection and removal of residential garbage,
rubbish, refuse and bulky waste.
At the present time, those living in the
village as well as businesses can select their
own collection company. If the new ordinance
passes, the village will receive bids and a
contract with one collection business will be
finalized. However, businesses would still be
permitted to select their own collector.
The second and third reading will be conducted
at the November and December meetings in order
for bids to go out in January 2015.
An ordinance authorizing a change
in water rates for the village was read. The
change would be for the next three years
with the quarterly minimum charge of $19.16
plus $4.82 for each additional 1,000 gallons
beginning in January 2015. In 2016 the rate
would increase to $5.06 per 1,000 gallons and
in 2017 the rate would be $5.31 for each 1,000
gallons.
Emergency readings for the following were
presented and passed:
An ordinance authorizing the transfer
of $8,000 from the general fund to the street
lighting fund.
The acceptance of the final plat of the
Maumee Landing Subdivision Phase 3, lot 2,
to the addition of the village.
The village accepted the final plat with the
contingency that the final coat of asphalt for
the streets identified will be applied at a later
date and such streets may not be dedicated

or accepted for public use until the final
coat of asphalt has been applied. The plat in
the subdivision is being developed by Oley
McMichael for the purpose of building a villa
with two separate units.
Payment in the amount of $61,750
towards the village sewer plant. A total of
$340,770.99 still remains on the note prior to
the passing of the ordinance.
The transfer of $55,000 from the general
fund to the police fund.
In other business:
Police Chief George Clemens reported
151 calls for service and 41 citations being
made during September.
The chief announced that the cameras
located in the park and in the village
were helpful in the recent bank robbery
investigation. Clemens is also looking for
a replacement for former officer Michael
Kirsch.
Heard the second reading of a resolution
accepting amounts and rates as determined
by the budget commission , authorizing
necessary tax levies and certifying them to
the county auditor.
Council accepted the health care
proposal from Anthem with the same options
as the previous year at a cost of $10,023.22
per month for full-time employees passed
unanimously.
VFW representative Ray DeLong spoke
to council concerning the possibility of
Antwerp receiving an army tank that has been
on display at the Defiance Park. The VFW has
offered to pay the expense of moving the tank
to Riverside Park if approved by council.
Council agreed to have DeLong meet with
the park board along with the village solicitor
Melanie Farr to review details and bring
recommendations back to council at a future
meeting.
A report from Randy Shaffer representing
the EMS showed 22 runs were made for the
month. Shaffer also reported that billing clerk
Ashley McDougall has provided to council
the amount of EMS runs billed, collected,
wrote off and owed for the year.
The finance committee will be meeting
on Nov. 12 at 7:30 a.m.
Sarah Noggle from the OSU Extension
reported to council that the Extension was
celebrating 100 years. She shared information
about the upcoming levy and how it would
cost a resident $5.25 per year for a home
valued at $100,000. The levy will generate
$66,000 for office operation.
By LOVINA EICHER
We are in the final week of
October. It is a dark, dreary
morning. This weekend we
need to turn our clocks back
an hour. I still have trouble
getting used to the changing
of time in the spring and fall.
My husband Joe, son
Benjamin, and daughters
Elizabeth and Susan are all
at work. Daughters Loretta
and Lovina and sons Joseph
and Kevin are in school. The
house is pretty quiet with just
daughter Verena and me here
at home. Verena is finishing
up the morning work as I
write this column.
Our plans for the day are to
cut out quite a few pants for
Benjamin. I cut out and sewed
one for him yesterday as I
needed a new pattern. He has
grown so much and is taller
than I am. The pants fit well
and he wore them to work
today. I didnt want to cut out
more until he tried one pair to
see how it fit. I have had the
material here for quite some
time and always pushed the
sewing to the back of my list.
We also want to sew Kevin
more pants. Well work on
getting them all cut out.
I was really disappointed
when sister Emma told me
that aunt Lovina and uncle
Abe Raber from Baltic, Ohio,
and cousin Leah (Lovinas
daughter) and Elmer Schwartz
from Campbellville, Ken.,
stopped for a visit when I
wasnt home one day last
week. Lovina is my moms
sister and we were always
together growing up. I was
named after her.
On Saturday, Joes brother
Benjamin, his wife Miriam,
and their children Josh,
Adrianna, Beth Ann, Travis,
Silas, and Victoria, from
Sugarcreek, Ohio, came for a
visit. Victoria is four months
old and this was the first time
we got to see her. She is a
cutie with lots of black hair.
The girls made popcorn and
lemonade for everyone. The
cousins dont often see each
other but it didnt take them
long to get reacquainted.
Saturday evening was so
nice. We enjoyed barbecued
chicken and hot wings since
the weather was so nice. Also
on the menu were lettuce
salad, chips and ice cream.
Those joining us for supper
were Timothy (Elizabeths
friend), Mose (Susans
friend), and Marvin (Verenas
friend).
Joining us for brunch
on Sunday were sisters
Verena and Susan and sister
Emma, her husband Jacob,
and their family as well as
Timothy and Mose. Niece
Elizabeths friend, Manuel,
and niece Emmas friend,
Menno, and Verenas friend,
Marvin, werent able to be
here on Sunday as they had
communion services in their
church district.

Our menu for brunch was

breakfast casserole, toast,
strawberry jam, cheese, hot
pepper butter, hot peppers,
coffee, orange juice,
chocolate milk, cinnamon
rolls, delicious cookies, and
peaches. Emma brought the
cinnamon rolls, hot pepper
butter, orange juice and
chocolate milk. Verena and
Susan brought the peaches
and cookies so all I had to
make was the casserole. We
enjoyed a nice family day
together.
Last week one evening, I
made pizza using a different
dough. We really liked the
dough so I will share it with
you readers. Enjoy!
PIZZA DOUGH

Rassman retires after 15

years in law enforcement
By DENISE GEBERS
PAULDING After 15 years as a Paulding
County Sheriffs deputy and more recently, the
county dog warden, Mark Rassman has retired.
It was a career he had not imagined
growing up, and one he began after retiring
from General Motors as a 25-year veteran of
the production line.
It was nothing I really thought about
growing up that Id be a law enforcement
officer, he said. Then going back to school?
I didnt think Id do that!
But he did both.
One of his sons got the ball rolling.
Jamie got me started, recalled Rassman.
He worked at the sheriffs office for a while,
then was the first county probation officer
through Judge Webb in the late 1990s.
Mark graduated from Defiance High School
with former sheriff Dave Harrow. Although
they did not know one another well in school,
as adults they found a shared interest in
high school wrestling. They were wrestling
officials at the same time.
An offer was made to join the sheriffs
department, and Mark went to back to school.
He completed the police academy in Paulding
in 1998. His career in law enforcement began
in August 1999.
Over the next 15 years he worked second
and third shifts with the SO.
I was almost 46 when I joined the force. I
was the old guy. Now those young guys are
about that age, he said with a smile. They
had my back and let me know if I was doing
things right or wrong, and Id give them dad
advice.
Through the years he discovered he had a
knack of being able to pick up on criminal
activity.
I always had, like, an intuition to suspicious
activity, he said. When I thought This isnt
quite right, I would try to figure out if there
was criminal activity going on. I was involved
with one of the largest marijuana busts in the

State of Ohio. It was an interstate bust.

Mark was a special kind of deputy. He
had a certain way of working the road while
patrolling, he was always on the lookout for
things that appeared out of place, said Sheriff
Jason Landers. Some of the strangest cases
were resolved over the past 15 years due to
Marks attention to detail.
In July 2013, Mark was made dog warden
when the sheriffs office took over supervisory
control of the dog kennels.
He had planned on staying on at the kennels
until he turned, but health concerns curtailed
those plans.
I was hospitalized in August 2013 and then
again in April and July of this year. I decided
due to my health issues to retire and look at
other options, he concluded.
One of those options is to join the sheriffs
reserves. I will miss the people Ive worked
with and the relationship I have with them. As
a reserve I will be able to maintain some of
that, he said.
Ive had the support of Dave and Jason as
sheriffs and all the deputies, Rassman noted.
They are all really good to me.
And just to underscore this belief, his coworkers held a retirement party for him Oct.
24 at the sheriffs office. Nearly 40 people
attended, representing law enforcement, the
prosecutors office and the auditors office.
Most importantly, Mark was a father
figure for those in need, and still is. For me
personally, I cant say enough about how he
helped mold the person I am today, Landers
noted. Mark was there for me when I got
married and had my children, and hes still
here for me today as the sheriff.
Mark is irreplaceable in many ways
around the office, but I have a hunch he will
stick around and help out with things from
time to time.
Mark has been married to his wife, Donna,
for 42 years. They have three sons, Jerry of
New Haven, Jamie of Delphos and Jason of
Payne. There are four grandchildren.

Noggle met with the commissioners to
present her third quarter report. She lead
the commissioners through the report,
expanding on the Agricultural Fertilizer
Applicator Certification training held in
September.
The 2014 Senate Bill 150 requires
certification for anyone who applies

commercial fertilizer to 50 or more
acres. This applies to not only farmers,
but also to agribusiness and landscaping
professionals. The deadline to be certified
is Sept. 30, 2017. Over 800 applicators
have been certified in the northwest Ohio
area just in the month of September.
Paulding County was one of the first
three training locations and currently has
over 90 people certified.
Noggle then reported the 2014 Farm
Science Review held in September
exceeded 130,000 attendees, where
she taught an afternoon class. Mapha
Schaadt and Dianne Cooper, two local
Paulding County women, were honored
at the 100 Years of Extension and 100

Apples of our eyes Tree care tips for fall

When I think of apples,
fall, harvest, chilly evenings,
apple cider, apple pie and apple
dumplings come to mind. Who
can resist the smell and taste of
a fresh baked apple dumpling or
the all-American favorite, apple
pie?
We always think that the
apple was the fruit that Eve used
to trick Adam in the Garden of
Eden so, we do know that apples
have been around for many
years. The pilgrims planted the
first United States apple trees in
the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
In colonial time, apples were
called winter banana or melt-inthe-mouth.
Americas longest-lived apple
tree was reportedly planted in
1647 by Peter Stuyvesant in his
Manhattan orchard and was still
bearing fruit when a derailed
train struck it in 1866.
The Lady or Api apple is one
of the oldest varieties in existence
and Newton Pippin apples were
the first apples exported from
America in 1768, some were sent
to Benjamin Franklin in London.
Apples come in all shades of
red, green and yellow. I recently
saw in a local store they had a
grapple which was a grape
and apple crossed. I purchased a
couple and they did have a grape
flavor. They were also very
pricey.
Some folks like to eat apples
with the peel and others prefer
to peel them, however, it has
been said not to peel your apple.
Two-thirds of the fiber and lots
A Penny for
Your Thoughts
By
Nancy Whitaker
of antioxidants are found in the
peel. Antioxidants help to reduce
damage to cells, which can
trigger some diseases.

There are those pesky worms
that like to get inside of an apple
and if you are not careful you
could accidentally eat one. One
thing I was always told was
not to eat early green apples or
they would cause you to have a
stomach ache, or worse.
There are also various
toppings you can eat on an apple.
Some like apples with salt, while
others prefer peanut butter or a
caramel apple.
Did you know there are over
2,500 kinds of apples in the
United States and apples are
grown in all 50 states? Also did
you know that apple trees can
grow to 40 feet high and live to
be 100 years old?
I have often sat and watched
my grandma and grandpa peel
apples and seeing who could peel

the longest peeling. The worlds
largest apple peel was created
by Kathy Wafler Madison on
October 16, 1976, in Rochester,
NY. It was 172 feet, 4 inches
long. (She was 16 years old at
the time and grew up to be a
sales manager for an apple tree
nursery.)
National Apple Month
is the only national, generic
apple promotion conducted in
the United States. Originally
founded in 1904 as National
Apple Week, it was expanded
in 1996 to a three-month
promotional window from
September through November.
The saying, An apple a day,
keeps the doctor away, comes
from an old English adage, To
eat an apple before going to bed,
will make the doctor beg his
bread.
Now for some bad jokes
about apples.
1. What did the worm want
to be when he grew up? He
wanted to join the Apple Corps
(cores).
2. Why did Eve want to
move to New York? She fell
for The Big Apple.
3. What do you get when you
cross a shellfish with an apple?
A Crabapple.
Do you like apples? Have
you ever bit into a worm in
an apple? What is the longest
peel you have ever peeled?
Let this apple lover and joke
teller know and Ill Give You
a Penny for Your Thoughts.

Noggle reported several other speaking engagements and
meeting she attended during July, August and September. She
reported fielding over 200 phone calls, emails and personal

Noggle noted the .15-mill levy campaign has begun. Passage
of the levy will ensure funding for Paulding County OSU
Extension over the next five years. It will generate $66,000,
with the cost on a $100,000-valued home being $5.25 per year.
Noggle closed her report by updating the commissioners on

counselors attending 4-H camp at Camp Palmer. 4-H camp is
set for July 9-13 in 2015. Noggle added 22 Paulding County

When it comes to the trees in your yard,
fall is not just a time of transition in color
from green leaves to red, orange and yellow
leaves. Its also a time to make sure your trees
are prepared for winter. Due to the forecast of
some severe weather that we may be getting
this winter, here are some great tips that could
help keep your trees healthy going into the
winter months.
Water your trees. This is especially true
if your trees are showing brown or signs of
drought. While many trees have roots that are
deep and dont require watering, trees used in
patio landscaping and those with small root
walls may require an additional drink of water.
Prune trees for safety and accessibility.
Most tree trimming landscapers suggest limb
up a tree to make it easier to walk by on an

adjacent sidewalk or path and also suggests
pruning away any dead or weak wood. This
years apple crop made us all aware of how we
all neglected pruning in the past.
Hire a professional to prune large trees.
Large trees with a very dense crown, a very
narrow or very wide crotch between limbs,
dead or weakened wood, or a cavity in the the
trunk of a tree should be pruned by a tree care
professional. Which, by the way, we have some
in the local area. Be safe and be aware of power
lines and your neighbors house.
Remove leaf detritus. Be sure to clean up
around the base of your trees after the leaves fall
so that the trees can get the adequate amount of
water and sunlight they need to thrive through
the fall and winter months.
Hopefully these tips will help your trees to
thrive and continue to bloom in the spring.

Grandkids say the

darndest things
HOMESPUN
By
JIM LANGHAM
joined the family for supper.
Rather tired, I walked into the
house, sat down in my favorite
chair and dozed off to sleep, but
not for long.
All of a sudden I felt like I was
in an artillery barrage. Pillows,
toys and all types of projectiles
began hitting me all over,
including a John Deere tractor
right in the nose.
Giggling she said to Grandma,
Grandma, I waked Grandpa
up.
Of course that resulted in a
major punishment from Grandpa
of tickles and giggles.
All of this brings back
memories from the days when
we would take our three children
to my parents in Berne to watch
and spoil them while we would
go away for a few days.
When we returned, my dad
would say, Theyre your kids.
We spoiled them; now its your
job to straighten them out again.
And so it was, for days we
would hear, Grandma and
Grandpa Langham bought this
for us or did this for us or let us
do that.
Well, family, its my turn
now! We even have our own
benediction at mealtime.
Following our meal prayer,
I always say, Amen, amen,
amen, aaaamen, a-mmmen and
amen!
Needless to say, the same
glorious benediction returns
from a 3-year-old voice beside
me.
Amen!

PAULDING Following
completion of his studies
at Northwest State Law
Enforcement Academy, Jared
Renollet, a 2011 graduate of
Paulding High School, has been
hired as the full-time Paulding
County dog warden.
Renollet was approved for
the position by the Paulding
County commissioners, but
has also been commissioned
for service as a sheriff deputy
by the Paulding County Sheriff
Department. Renollet has
actually been with the sheriff
department since January and
has served as a part-time warden
while completing his schooling.
Renollet said that he has high
respect and concern for those
whose dogs have wandered
away. He seeks to do all that he
can to return dogs to their rightful
owners if he has information
provided, usually through the
dog tag, as to where they belong.
Renollet said that his office
uses a system known as Fairfield
Computers which can help track
dogs and match them with their
proper owners.
When I get a dog that doesnt
have a tag, I am commissioned
by law to wait for three days

Last week one evening we

met as a family at a steak house
in Fort Wayne to celebrate a
special birthday. Of course,
granddaughter Kirsten was there
in all of her glory and all of her
orneriness.
She colored, danced, joked
and laughed around the table in
the spirit of our family mood.
As you might guess, Grandpa
passed down the family grandpa
thing of teasing her and saying
things to energize the spirit of
play.
At one point, she whispered in
her fathers ear (our son, Jason).
He immediately started laughing
and said, You wont guess what
she just said.
Apparently she whispered,
Dad, you surely have a silly
dad!
And so the Langham
orneriness (as some label it)
apparently doesnt fall far from
the tree. From my Grandpa
Langham, to our kids Grandpa
Langham to Kirstens Grandpa
Langham, certain traits have
been passed down, so some
say.
One of the funniest schemes
that has developed recently has
been the family musical that
occurs just prior to the meal.
Kirsten and I supposedly argue
over who is going to get our food
first.
One night I looked at her and
sang out, I get mine first.
In perfect pitch, she looked
back at me with a big grin and
sang back, I get mine first.
So during last weeks supper
outing, it happened as soon as
we sat down at the table.
Those ornery eyes looked at
me and sang out, Grandpa, I get
mine first!
Several weeks ago, Grandma
Langham watched her for the
day at her place. I worked and
Renollet hired as full-time dog warden

before putting that dog up for

adoption or turning it over to a
rescue center, said Renollet.
I feel that there are a lot of
responsible owners out there
whose dogs somehow get out
through no neglect on their part,
said Renollet. They get loose
and run away and nobody goes
looking for them. A lot of people
dont think to call the sheriff
department to see if I have their
dogs.
If individuals become
aware that their dog is missing,
the sooner they call, the better
chances are of recovering that
dog, continued Renollet. If
you let it go for a few days before
reporting it, that dog could have
traveled more miles than you
realize in any direction. Within a
short time, it is easier to still find
the dog.
Renollet said that his
department is in regular
communication with dog
wardens in Defiance, Putnam
and Van Wert counties.
We do all that we can to work
together and be alert to missing
dogs in each others counties,
said Renollet.
Renollet said that since it is
close to the Indiana line, his
office also works with officials in
Allen County, Indiana. However,
they have different rules that
govern the situation on their side
of the state line.
Renollet praised the support
of local volunteers who assist
mainly in transporting dogs. He

especially lauded the work of

volunteer Lynn Mansfield who
yields practically full-time
service to the warden office.
She almost works on a fulltime employee level, but as a
volunteer, said Renollet. She
does amazing work. She helps
get the dog to the rescue center.
She is an indispensable asset to
the kennel.
Other volunteers transport
dogs to Toledo or other places.
Others foster dogs so they wont
have to stay in the kennel, added
Renollet.
Renollet added that he also
checks out reports when he
gets a report of animal abuse,
but he checks the situation very
thoroughly before making any
decisions.
Some people might think that
their neighbors dont necessarily
care for their dogs the way they
do, but that doesnt necessarily
mean they are being neglected or
abused, said Renollet.
In addition to contacting the
shelter through the Paulding
County Sheriff Department, there
is also a Paulding County dog
kennel site through Facebook.

Alfred and Kathryn (Eaton) Grove started the Grove Trust Fund nearly 40 years ago. It continues to assist
children in Paulding County with sight, hearing, epilepsy and respiratory issues and are under age 12.
Grove Trust Fund available

to county kids in need
By JOE SHOUSE
GROVER HILL In 1976,
when the United States was
celebrating its 200th birthday,
a man of generous means
from Grover Hill passed
away. Born in 1880, he was
94 when he ended his earthly
journey on March 14, 1976.
And although he has been
gone for nearly 40 years, his
generosity continues to bring
hope, joy and benefit to many
who live in Paulding County.
Alfred Grove lived a
simple yet meaningful life.
He worked as a clerk in a
grocery store and eventually
purchased the store as a young
and energetic businessman
in 1908. By the time he
was 40 years old he retired,
not realizing he would live
another 56 years.
Grove married Kathryn
Eaton and they had no
children. It is believed that
Grove invested in automotive
stock where he managed to do
quite well for himself. While
making wise investments
that enabled him to retire
at such a young age, it also
permitted him the opportunity
to leave a lasting imprint on
his community and its young
children.
With no children of their
own, Grove decided to invest
in a trust fund that would
help benefit Paulding County
children. Today the Grove
trust fund continues to grow
and is used on a regular
bases. Funds are administered
through the Grover Hill Lions
Club.
A former contractor and
Lions Club member since
1967, Don Elston has seen
the Grove trust fund benefit
many children over the years

but feels its important to
share with people what the
fund is all about and how it
is still available today to meet
certain needs.
The fund was originally
set up to aid Paulding County
children who are under 12
years old and who have need
in the areas of sight, hearing,
epilepsy and respiratory
problems. We have been
blessed with these funds
and we want the county to
know that we want to help
those who have need in those
areas, said Elston.
For the most part, much of
the money is used each year
to purchase glasses.
We usually pay for
approximately 40 pairs of
glasses during the year, said
long time Lions Club member
Ray Treece.
The Lions Club must
follow strict protocol in
administering the funds but at
the same time they are ready
to meet the demands that
Paulding County folks may
have when it comes to the
four areas of concern.
We have tried to stay
connected with the schools,
PARC Lane, visiting nurses,
doctors and area optometrists
in hopes they will refer
families to our Lions Club
and this wonderful fund that
was made available many
years ago, said Elston.
While many community
service organizations like the
Lions Club are suffering low
attendance, the Grover Hill
Club is excited about serving
Paulding County communities
with funds that can help pay
for doctor and hospital costs
and various appliances used
to improve the overall well

being of children under 12
years of age.
We want to get the word
out and let people know
that if they are in need of
assistance when it comes to
sight, hearing, epilepsy or
respiratory issues for their
children under 12 years of age
that help is available, said
Treece.
While the Grove Hill Lions
Club is active in reaching out
to the physical needs of young
people, they are always open
to new members who would
be interested in joining their
service organization and
making a difference in the
community they live.
Those who may have
questions concerning the Grove
Trust Fund may call Don Elston
at 419-587-3010 or Ray Treece
at 419-399-3065.

PAULDING On Nov. 13, at 6:30 p.m. the

Paulding Chamber of Commerce will be hosting
a celebration to kick
off the holidays and
celebrate the brand
new Christmas
decorations.
Everyone is invited.
The plan is to
begin at the Herb
Monroe Park that
evening with live music and honoring those
who have donated the funds to purchase the new
decorations, said Peggy Emerson, Chamber
director. Everyone will then cross the street
and begin caroling around the Courthouse.
Businesses downtown have been asked to
decorate and be open that evening, making
Paulding one Merry and Bright place to be!
The Chamber intentionally chose to have this
event on the same night that the Festival of Trees
begins at the Paulding Historical Society.

years without ever seeing one
and then have two of them in
just two months time.
Did you ever wonder what
happens to the animals, birds,
and insects that call your
garden home in the summer,
when winter comes? Ive
often thought about that and
what kind of survival skills
they have that allow them to
remain there until the weather
gets nice again.
That turtle isnt the only
thing Ive found while doing
fall cleanup in the garden.
Weve got an abundance of
leaves and while some of
them are good for insulating
the plants over winter, too
many are just that too many.
We wanted people to have a big celebration

to start the holiday season. There is a turkey
dinner at the
Paulding United
Methodist Church
that afternoon. You
could come, have
dinner, attend the
lighting ceremony,
and then head out to
the Festival of Trees
and make an evening out of it, said Emerson.
There is also a chance for groups and
businesses to participate in decorating as well.
On Nov. 10, beginning at 4 p.m., people from
the community are invited to come and help
decorate both lamp posts and the Herb Monroe
Park.
Plan to come and support the community,
have some fun making it a better and brighter
place for everyone to enjoy when they come
through downtown, said Emerson.

Last week, while cleaning

out one of the little ponds in
our back garden, I pulled out
a Baby Tut papyrus plant.
It was growing in a container
especially designed for water
plants which has little holes
on all sides to let water freely
pass through.
That means that the plants
roots will find their way out
of those holes too, and by
summers end there will be
nearly as many roots coming
out the bottom and sides of
the container as there are
shoots of the ornamental grass
coming out the top. This year
was no different and I had a
tough time of pulling it loose
and out of the water.
Once I got it out, I laid
it in the grass and I noticed
something odd that was semiattached to the roots at the
bottom. At first I thought
it resembled some sort of
shellfish, almost like a crab
but the shape wasnt right. A
closer look identified it as a
small turtle.
Wed found a turtle walking
across the lawn in August and
we put that one in the other
larger garden pond we had,
but this one was smaller, its
shell measuring about five
inches in length. Its funny

If we allow all of them to stay,

they can smother some of the
perennials or cause a moldy
mess by the time winters
moisture mixes in and spring
comes around.
As I removed some of the
excess leaves, it was clear
that the ladybugs had already
settled in for the cold weather.
Hundreds of them were
nestled under the leaves at the
base of some of the plants and
while they were still pretty
actively moving, they werent
venturing far from their
huddle. Ive seen them like that
in spring too. Its pretty amazing
that they can survive our winters
with just a blanket of leaves as
protection.
Some spiders do the same
thing, but some die, leaving
their egg sacs behind, to
hatch in the spring. Monarch
butterflies are known for their
epic journey to Mexico for the
winter, but some caterpillars
will form cocoons where they
will spend the winter months
before emerging when thing
begin to warm up again.

Some
birds,
like
hummingbirds, orioles,
killdeer, and red-winged
blackbirds go south for the
winter, but others, such as
robins and bluebirds will stay
around if theres enough food to
sustain them. Bluebirds are more
likely to be found year-round in
the southern half of the state.
Since our little garden
ponds always freeze solid
during winter, that little turtle
we found would not have
been able to survive there. We
took it to our neighbors pond,
where it will go to the deeper
part that doesnt freeze and it
will likely hibernate there just
fine until next spring.
Ive often said that I would
love to go into hibernation
during winter, and I tend to
do the human imitation of it,
but migrating south for a few
months sounds even better.
Maybe someday Ill be able
to do just that.

Wayne Trace honor roll

being successful and they have taken their
achievement personally, said Tear. I am so
blessed to have a great staff of teachers and I
am so excited for them and for the recognition
they are receiving for being so dedicated to
teaching students.
Both programs that Paulding Elementary
achieved looked at proficiency in reading
and math for all student groups in the school.
The Schools of Promise initiative considered
the most recent years reading and math
performance while the Schools of Honor
program considered the five most recent years
of reading and math performance.
The School of Promise honor is a result of
several criteria including scoring high marks
on the states report card. We scored five As
and one B and I dont believe any school had
straight As, said Tear.
The recognition of the High Progress
Schools was awarded to 27 schools, including
Paulding Elementary. These schools are
recognized for making the greatest five year
gains academically.
Education is making a difference and these
teachers, students, leaders and communities
are making a difference for the boys and

girls in their local schools, said Dr. Richard
Ross, superintendent of public instruction.
Im especially proud of what these schools
have achieved during the year when we raised
learning standards for students and launched
higher accountability measures for schools.
There were a total of 173 buildings
recognized out of 3,200 buildings across Ohio.
Later in the school year Paulding Elementary
will have a special assembly where they will
receive banners from the Ohio Department
of Education to display proudly for their
accomplishments.
As a side note, the elementary has been
invited to present a PowerPoint presentation
at the Ohio School Board conference on Nov.
11.
Not many schools receive this honor and to
be invited is certainly something we have not
only accepted but look forward to presenting.
We plan to share some of our successes here
at PES in hopes that others schools will see
what we are doing and how we are making
a difference in the education process of our
students, concluded Tear.

Dog and kennel fees

to go up in 2015
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
PAULDING Paulding County Commissioners passed a
resolution that will increase the cost of certain dog tag and kennel
fees for 2015.
The legislation raises the cost of dog tags from $15 to $18, oneyear tag late fee from $15 to 18, three-year dog tags from $45 to $54
and three-year late from $15 to $18.
In addition, the cost of permanent dog tags has been increased
from $150 to $180, and one-year kennel license from $75 to $90.
One-year late fees have also been raised from $75 to $90.
The cost of dog services such as picking up a dog, dropping off a
dog or adopting a dog has not been changed.
The legislation, unanimously approved by the commissioners
states, whereas the existing fees are inadequate to fully fund the
operation of the dog kennel and dog wardens office, be it resolved
that the Board of County Commissioners does hereby approved the
following list of fees.
Its been six years since theres been an increase, commented
Commissioner Roy Klopfenstein. We took a look at surrounding
counties and around the state and adjusted our fee according to
inflation and increased costs.
This is still a very reasonable fee for the lover of an animal,
observed Klopfenstein. We have a great kennel that needs to be
maintained.
County Auditor Claudia Fickel said that registration for the new
tags begins on Dec. 1 and continue until Jan. 31. After that, there will
be late feels involved. Those who wish to purchase tags can go to the
auditors office at 115 N. Williams Street or mail in an application
with a self-stamped addressed envelope in which to return the tag.
Tags can also be ordered online at www.pauldingcountyauditor.
com. There is an online processing fee of $2.25 per tag or $6.25 per
kennel. There is also a per order fee of 50 cents.
We honor other dog tags from other counties as long as they are
Ohio tags, noted Fickel.
In the case of a newborn puppy, the owners have three months to
tag the dog. If they acquire a new dog, they have 30 days to tag the
dog.
The auditors office is open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily.

The sight of grain falling into wagons and trucks was a common site around the county this past weekend as harvest went
strong for several days during a break in the weather.
Weather grants another

weekend harvest burst
By JIM LANGHAM
Feature Writer
In recent weeks, it was difficult
looking in any direction without seeing
a cloud of dust emerging from farm
machinery bringing in grain from a
well-developed harvest. Several days of
warm and dry weather allowed farmers
to get into the fields and bring in good
quality crops.
Its still much better to allow nature
to do the drying, said Paulding County
Extension agent Sarah Noggle. The
weather last week was a good time for
that, especially with plenty of sunshine,
warmer temperatures and lots of good
drying wind.
Once again, crops are leaning toward
the successful to extremely successful
side.
Noggle said that there has been a lot
of variance in yields, due mainly to areas
that may have lodged standing water
during heavy June rains.
Noggle estimated that beans are
ranging between 40 and 65 bushels
per acre, with the larger yields more
prevalent than small. She also noted that
corn yields range between 170 and 230,
with the standing water issue probably
the biggest factor in yields.
There is a lot of fluctuation with the
lower end due mainly to such items as
water issues in early summer rains, said

Noggle. The weather overall this past
weekend was just excellent for harvest.
Noggle noted that there are still
several farmers sowing wheat, although
wheat planting is more scarce than what
was hoped for because of periods of
really wet soil this fall.
When I was out, I noticed that cereal
rye, as a cover crop, is looking good,
noted Noggle. A lot of fall tillage
work is going on. As soon as a field is
harvested, someone is right behind it.
I know there is some concern about
compaction with the wet ground. I see
a lot of semis parked right out on the
road, continued Noggle. Our farmers
are well-educated and do all that they
can to minimize compaction in the
fields.
In spite of the trickiness of this falls
weather pattern, Noggle said that she
still believes that harvest is in good
shape. She noted that most elevators
were open extra hours to receive grain.
She estimated that over half of the
Paulding County crops have been taken
off the fields.
The one thing that is happening right
now is that farmers are working long
hours when they have a chance to get
things in, said Noggle. People have
been working hard to get their things in.
Weather specialist Rick McCoy

said that forecasts in the first half of
November call for chillier and drier
than normal weather in the beginning of
the month with the middle of the month
looking warmer and more moist.

A spot inspection of the truck fleet was held at the Paulding County ODOT garage on Thursday, Oct. 30 in preparation for the
upcoming winter season. The trucks are checked for mechanical soundness as well as ensuring all required safety gear is in place.
ODOT prepared and ready for winter

COLUMBUS Last winter broke
many records in the state, especially for
the Ohio Department of Transportation
(ODOT): most road salt used (more than
1 million tons), most money spent ($119
million), and most snow plow miles
driven (more than 14 million).
This winter, ODOT is ready. Earlier
this month, ODOT crews around the
state began conducting random 150point inspections to fine-tune snow
removal equipment in anticipation of the
coming winter. The inspections are part
of the departments annual county-bycounty equipment readiness inspections.
We work day and night to keep
Ohios roads open and passable so
businesses, schools and healthcare
providers can operate uninterrupted,
said ODOT Director Jerry Wray. The
most effective way to accomplish this
is to have equipment in good working
order, salt in the barns and operators and
mechanics who are well trained.
New this year, ODOT has completed
installation of green, white and amber
lights on all 1,700 snowplow trucks in
its fleet. The color combination provides
higher visibility than the traditional
amber lights.
Of course snowplows dont drive
themselves. ODOT has more than 3,000
highly trained and certified operators
ready to clear ice and snow from the
states roadways and bridges.
The snow and ice crews in the eightcounty region of the Ohio Department
of Transportation District 1 in Allen,
Defiance, Hancock, Hardin, Paulding,
Putnam, Van Wert and Wyandot
are prepared for the winter season.
Traditional tools, such as rock salt,

will be combined with newer chemical
technology, advances in equipment and
weather technology to provide the best
response to each weather event.
This winter season all salt storage
facilities within the district are full
with the amount of salt required to
combat snow and ice for a typical
northwest Ohio winter. The district has
approximately 36,400 tons of salt on hand
and is contracted to obtain another 24,600
tons for a total amount of approximately
61,000 tons.
The average cost of salt this year in
ODOT District 1 is about $105 per ton.
Last years average cost per ton was $56.
Last years winter was the highest salt
usage and highest total cost for snow
and ice operations recorded in district
history: $8,599,663.21
The use of the latest in chemical
technology to combat snow and ice on
roadways will be expanded this year
in the district. These products prove
to be more effective at controlling icy
conditions versus just straight salt or salt
brine and can be more cost effective.
Several 12,000 gallon storage tanks are
on order for Allen, Defiance, Hardin
and Van Wert counties which will
significantly increase storage capacity
at these facilities for the new chemical
additives:
One such additive is Beet Heet, a
sugar beet molasses-based product that
increases rock salts ice melting capacity
below its 15 degree limit.
Also, being used this year is Aqua
Salina, a natural saltwater with a lower
freeze point than regular brine and
Boost, an organic substance that when

added to calcium chloride reduces the
corrosiveness and improves its antiicing and deicing capability.
Beginning Nov. 3, ODOTs statewide
road and weather information site,
www.ohgo.com, will be updated every
morning, evening, and whenever a
significant change in the weather
warrants it to provide drivers with the
best information possible for their
commute.
The Road Weather Information
System (RWIS) is comprised of
environmental sensor stations which
measure atmospheric, pavement and/or
water level conditions. These individual
stations are strategically located
throughout the district within highway
right of way.
The data collected through RWIS is
used by plow operators and transportation
managers to support decision making
in how to plan and respond to winter
events. The system provides real- time
pavement temperatures which is a major
advantage for highway management
personnel.
Within District 1, 10 RWIS units are
in operation. There is at least one unit in
each county within District 1.
ODOT District 1 has 127 trucks used
during snow and ice season, operated
by 150 permanent employees and 30
seasonal employees.
ODOT maintains nearly 43,000 lane
miles of state highway, which carries
approximately two-thirds of the states
daily traffic. It operates 13 trucks in
Paulding County; 16 in Van Wert
County and 14 in Defiance County.

PAULDING With cold
weather fast approaching,
Northwestern
Ohio
Community
Action
Commission will once again
assist households to establish
or maintain their heating
source with the Winter Crisis
Program and Home Energy
Assistance Program (HEAP).

The
Winter
Crisis
program is designed to
assist households, who
find themselves in an
emergency situation to get
service reconnected, avoid a
disconnection, or receive bulk
fuel (propane, fuel oil, etc.) in
order to provide heat to their
home. The Winter Crisis
Program is available from
Nov. 3, 2014 through March
31, 2015. Any household
that is at or below 175% of
the Federal Poverty guideline
may apply for the program.
Applicants must provide the
past 90 day income for all
members of the household,
social security numbers, birth
dates, electric bill, gas bill
and proof of disability (if
applicable).
HEAP is a federally funded
program designed to help
eligible low-income Ohioans
meet the high costs of home

heating. This program can
only be accessed one time per
season and the amount of the
benefit depends on the size
of the household, household
income and what type of fuel
is used. In most cases, the
one-time benefit will be a
credit applied directly to the
utility bill. Income eligible
household must be at or below
175% of the Federal Poverty
guideline. No emergency
need is required for this
program.
To learn more or to apply
for these programs, families
may contact Northwestern
Ohio Community Action
Commission to schedule an
appointment.

Hunting seasons for ring-necked pheasant, cottontail

rabbit, and bobwhite quail will open in Ohio on Friday, Nov.
7.
Cottontail rabbit hunting continues through Saturday, Feb.
28, 2015. Ring-necked pheasant hunting is open through
Sunday, Jan. 4, 2015. The pheasant and rabbit seasons are
closed during the 2014 statewide deer-gun hunting season,
Dec. 1-7.
Bobwhite quail season continues through Sunday,
Nov. 30. Quail hunting is open in 16 counties in southern
Ohio: Adams, Athens, Brown, Butler, Clermont, Clinton,
Highland, Jackson, Meigs, Montgomery, Pike, Preble, Ross,
Scioto, Vinton, and Warren.
Rabbits, pheasants and quail may be hunted from sunrise
to sunset. The daily bag limit for all three species is four
rabbits, two pheasants (roosters/males only), and four quail.
Cottontail rabbit hunting restrictions were removed in
the snowshoe hare protected area in Geauga and Ashtabula
counties. Snowshoe hares are protected as a state-endangered
species, and it is illegal to kill them in Ohio. Rabbits and
hares look very similar, but hares are generally larger than
rabbits with longer legs and ears. Snowshoe hares have a
thick white coat in the winter that helps them blend in with
the snow. In the spring, they shed their winter coat and grow
a thin brown summer coat.
The ODNR Division of Wildlife releases pheasants in
select hunting areas throughout the state. This year releases
will take place Oct. 31 (prior to small-game youth hunting
weekend), Thursday, Nov. 6 (prior to opening day), Friday,
Nov. 14, and Wednesday, Nov. 26.
Additional hunting information is contained in the 201415 Ohio Hunting and Trapping Regulations. The regulations
are available where hunting licenses are sold, at wildohio.
gov or by calling 1-800-WILDLIFE (1-800-945-3543).

THE PAULDING COUNTY PROGRESS GOES TO MAINE Virginia Shuherk and Kathy
Sanderson, of Paulding, have been friends since the sixth grade, and for the past 46 years they
have talked about a dream trip to Maine. They never really thought this trip would happen until
Kathys daughter, Mary, surprised them with a week-long trip to the New England states. The last
stop would be Maine. As they stood in front of the lighthouse in Portland, Maine, they realized
that you should never stop believing in your dreams. Their source for exclusive Paulding County

Raiders close out season
over Archers, 46-8
By JOE SHOUSE
Sportswriter
HAVILAND
Much like the mailman,
Wayne Trace didnt allow the rain, snow,
wind or even an Archer, for that matter, keep
them from delivering a regular season ending
win over county rival and Green Meadows
Conference foe Antwerp. For the Raiders, a
quick start proved to be all they needed to
cruise to a 46-8 beating of the Archers. It was
the Raiders eighth win of the season against
two losses.
With results of the final week of the season
complete, the Raiders survived the long wait
and earned the final spot in Division Six,
Region 20 state playoffs.
This Friday, the Raiders will go up against
a familiar foe on the road when they play 10-0
Tinora. The Rams defeated Wayne Trace back
on Oct. 24 at Raider Field, 40-24.
Following the game, with his team huddled
up on the field and a light snow falling, head
coach Bill Speller reminded his team of the
playoff picture and what needed to happen.
Just wait on my call tomorrow and it will
be either good news and hopefully we will
have another opportunity to play Tinora, or it
will be bad news and it will be time to turn in
your gear, Speller said.
The coach ended his speech with a prophetic
closing comment as if he knew what the
playoff picture would look like: Lets just go
Jim Bowers/Paulding County Progress
up to Tinora and kick their butts.

business in convincing fashion in the early
going. Running just seven offensive plays
in the first quarter, the Raiders scored three
touchdowns to move in front 24-0 after 12
minutes of play.
Following an opening possession by the
Archers that netted just two yards, the Raiders
took over on their own 44 yard line. Senior
Daron Showalter racked up 25 yards on the
ground followed by Tyler Showalter adding
22 yards. On the third play, senior Tyler
Showalter found the end zone on a nine-yard
scamper with 8:35 showing on the clock. The
three-play possession covered 56 yards in just
49 seconds.
The second Raider touchdown was a
two-play affair capped off when Showalter
connected on a 36-yard pass to senior Jake
Dingus at the 5:24 mark, still in the opening
period. Showalter was successful on the twopoint conversion attempt and the Raiders
were in control, 16-0.
The Archers controlled the ball for nearly
five minutes with a 10-play drive that would
advance the Archer offense to midfield, but
a fourth down attempt failed, turning the
ball over to Wayne Trace with 40 seconds
remaining.
Needing just two plays, Tyler Showalter
spotted Cole Shepherd open for a scoring
strike covering 53 yards of real estate to end
the first quarter. The two-point conversion
was good and the Raiders had a comfortable
lead at 24-0.
In the second frame, the Raiders had the
ball on two drives and used both of them to
find the endzone. Showalter led the Raider
attack on the first drive of the period when
he guided his squad on an eight-play, 80-yard
drive ending with Dingus picking apart the
left side of the Archer defense and marching
into the endzone on a 26-yard run.

their way to their final score of the half. From

the Archer 39 yard line, Showalter danced his
way into the endzone as time expired and the
Raiders enjoying a 40-0 halftime lead.
They (Wayne Trace) really took it to us. I
was disappointed in our tackling early, but at
the same time we played hard under the worst
weather conditions I have ever coached in,
said Antwerp head coach Drew Altimus.
With the huge lead, the second half was
played with a running clock. Both teams
managed to put one more score on the board
with the Archers scoring first following a
scoreless third quarter.
With 4:31 remaining, Antwerps Justice
Clark found paydirt on a two-yard dash to
avoid the shutout. Clark also picked up the
two-point conversion and the Archers found
themselves down 40-8. Clark, a junior who
was playing his last game in an Archer
uniform, ran for 123 yards on 25 totes.
Antwerp announced prior to the start of the
season that varsity football would take a oneyear hiatus due to low numbers. The Archers
will field a junior varsity team, but seniors
are not permitted to play at the junior varsity
level. Antwerp finishes the season at 1-9 after
winning their opener over Edon.
On their last possession the Raiders would
have signal caller Jayden Sherry behind
center. Following a Wayne Trace punt that
was muffed by the Archers and recovered by
the Raiders near midfield, Sherry would go
to work in the closing minutes. Sherry, just a
sophomore, ended the night on a 53-yard run
through the Archer defense for the final points
and a solid GMC win for the Raiders.
Wayne Trace was led by the 124 rushing
yards of Tyler Showalter, all of which came in
the first half, with the exception of five yards.
Showalter only put the ball in the air twice,
scoring two touchdowns of 36 and 53 yards.
In the second half, the Raiders used a host
of seniors to get at least one rushing attempt.
Darius Hale, Hank Sinn, J.P. Pierce, Grant
Gilett, Riley Moore and Chuckie Chastain
each had an opportunity in the backfield to
carry the ball.
Tonight it was all about our seniors. Those
big senior linemen having the opportunity to
play and run the ball will be a nice memory,
said Speller.
With the regular season complete, the
Raiders will move on to the first round of the
playoffs while the Archers will look to the
future.
I think our boys gained a lot of respect for
how hard they played throughout the year.
The off-season is going to be different. But
we are excited to get started with next years
team and watch them develop, concluded
Altimus.

Panthers close out season with loss to Knights

By JIM LANGHAM
Sportswriter
PAULDING It was
Pauldings own snowbowl
on Friday night at Keysor
Field as players and fans
braved what seemed like nearblizzard conditions. Strong
north winds and snow squalls
that whitened the field at
times changed a lot of things
for athletes playing their final
game on Senior Night.
The weather took some
things away from us we were
hoping to do, commented
head Paulding football coach
Kyle Coleman. Corbin
(Edwards, quarterback) has
small hands. He couldnt grip
the football very well in the
wet and wind. That left their
defense close up the box.
It made it harder to run the
football.
In the end, Crestview
walked off the field with a
46-8 win.
To make things worse,
one of the Panthers most
dependable receivers, Treston
Gonzales, went down with a
hyper-extended knee before
the half.
That took out one of our
main weapons, Coleman
said. Hes a good and

dependable player. He plays
hard all of the time.
Playoff-bound Crestview
rushed for a total of 423 yards
in the contest. Jake Lippi
led the Knights with 132
yards and two touchdowns
while Sage Schaffner adding
90 yards and a touchdown.
In addition, Crestviews
Preston Zaleski ran for one
touchdown and passed for
another with a 28-yard pass to
Alex Cunningham.
Crestview struck hard and
early with three tallies for
a 21-0 lead at the end of the
first quarter. The Knights
added 19 points to grab a
40-0 advantage at the halfway
mark. But there was a bright
spot for Paulding. Trailing
46-0 with just seconds left in
the game, Pauldings Adam
Deatrick, a senior, scored
from three yards out and
Aaron Mock was successful
with the two extra points.
That was his first-ever
touchdown, said Coleman
of Deatrick. It was really
exciting for him and I was
excited for him. And then
Mock had that two-point
conversion.
I went to the seniors at

the half and told them they
would be playing the whole
game. We tried to get the ball
to seniors who hadnt gotten
the ball. Our line up front
opened things up for that
touchdown, said Coleman.
Coleman praised his seniors
who had been dedicated to the
program and praised them for
their hard work.

He
noted
that
he
understands his players were
frustrated and would have
liked to have had a better
season. He said that their
summer preparation couldnt
have been any better, but noted
that mental discipline and
positive thinking continues to
be a challenge to the program.
Mindset, thats the thing;
its harder to change than
strength, said Coleman.
You cant say that they
didnt work hard; I dont
think they could have worked
much harder.
We had a couple of
guys who were a part of the
team all four years, said
Coleman. Thats quite an
accomplishment in any sports
program. They all put in a lot
of work.
