Ohio Department of Natural
Resources (ODNR) have confirmed that a manure spill occurred in southwestern Paulding County in recent weeks at
the Van Erk Dairy, located at the
northwest corner of Ohio 114

Former police chief says rewarding calls outweighed the bad
By JUDY WELLS
Feature Writer
ANTWERP After 31
years in law enforcement,
72-year-old Joyce Carr is
hanging up her uniform, putting away her badge and unloading her revolver.
On March 4 of this year, she
officially retired from her job
as Chief of Police of Antwerp.
She says the most difficult
part of her retired life will
be missing the officers who
worked under her. But she
plans to stop in at the police
department often to visit.
Joyce graduated from Antwerp High School in 1960.
While still a sophomore, she
knew she wanted to become a
police officer. At
high
school career days, I went
to the law enforcement class
but was told by the instructor
that females had a very slim
chance of ever becoming officers, she says. He told me I
had just wasted my time and
his, and advised me to choose
another career, something
more suited to a female.
So she did just that. She began her first job before shed
even graduated, in April 1960,
as secretary to the vice president at First National Bank in
Fort Wayne.
And I didnt even graduate
until May, she says. Ive also
worked as an efficiency expert
assistant, an orthodontists assistant, officer manager, lab
technician, interior decorator,
emergency medical technician, and was Antwerps first
female EMS coordinator. But
I always knew Id end up in
law enforcement.
On Christmas Day of 1963,
Joyce married her high school
sweetheart, Dave Carr, in the
Mormon Reorganized Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints.
They have two daughters,
Lynne and Jennifer, two
grandchildren,
18-year-old
Lydia Eileen Carr and David
Emerson Addis, whos 14, and
a son-in-law, Chuck Addis.
Lydia and David both attend
high school in Las Vegas,
where both their daughters
live.
Joyces law enforcement career began in the early 1980s
when she received a call from
then-sheriff John L. Keeler,
asking if she would be interested in working at the sher-
iffs department.
When I told him Id consider it, he asked me to come
over and try it for a couple
weeks to see what I thought
about the job, she remembers. We had a family vacation scheduled for the following two weeks, so I told him
Id have to wait until we got
home from that. He asked me
to come over anyway and try
it out, and then if I wanted the
job it would be mine when we
got home.
She was hired shortly after
their return by Sheriff Keeler, who was Paulding County
sheriff for 25 years. He retired
in 1985.
I started out as a communications officer for the department, Joyce says. Then
I went to basic police school
and was sworn in as a reserve
deputy sheriff. My instructor
was Paulding Police Chief
Paul Keeler, who was so
knowledgeable and the greatest teacher anyone could ever
ask for. He had forgotten more
than most police officers ever
know!
Joyce also attended an instructors course and helped
teach basic police school.
Soon after that, she worked
in the jail as a full-time corrections officer as well as a
reserve deputy sheriff. After
taking a corrections officer
course at the University of
Findlay, she was then able
to teach corrections officer
classes locally.
In March 1994, Joyce
joined the reserves on the Antwerp Police Department, in
addition to remaining a corrections officer at the sheriffs
department. In October of that
year, she was hired as the fulltime assistant police chief in
Antwerp. She then went on
to become the villages first
female police chief following
a week-long officers training
school in Columbus.
Being the only woman in
the class of approximately 25
officers, I was mostly ignored
by the other students, she
says. I usually sat in the back
row and tried to keep to myself.
But one day the instructor
called out, Chief Joyce Carr,
can you answer the question
and give us your options as to
what you would do about this
problem? The other students
Walking out the door for the last time was bittersweet for Joyce
Carr. I enjoyed every minute of my law enforcement career, she
says. If I had it to do all over again, I certainly would. It was the most
enjoyable job Ive ever had, even though it was something where I
never knew if the next call would be something where I was going to
get hurt or if someone had just locked their keys in their car.
turned around and looked at
me like they were stunned.
Upon seeing their faces, the
instructor said, I guess none
of you guys realized she outranks every one of you here,
did you? After that it was
amazing how their attitudes
towards me changed.
In Antwerp, Joyce worked
under the direction of mayors
Louise Miller and Margaret
Womack.
They stood totally behind
their police officers, which
made my job enjoyable,
Joyce says.
After completing all the
necessary requirements and
paperwork to obtain a grant
from Cops First, the village
was able to hire another officer.
We hired Victoria Clemens, whod been one of the
students I taught in the basic
police course, she said. I
knew she had potential, so I

The stroller was covered with a
blanket and of course I wanted
to see the baby in the stroller,
so I asked if I could. Well, the
blanket came off and here was
a cat in a bonnet which looked
very hot and grumpy. I said,
Oops! Nice kitty! Maybe to
others it is good to push your
cat in a stroller to a concert, but
I think my cat can just walk or
stay home.
These are not things I am
griping about, they are just ordinary things that happen that
are my pet peeves. The other
day as I was shopping, I heard
a lot of screaming and yelling.
There was a little kid who was
not happy because he wanted
a certain toy. His mama was
telling him that if he continued
to throw a fit they would not
get to go to McDonalds for
lunch.
This is not something I
heard for the first time, because I am sure we have all
had those experiences. However, after the child yelled and

Red worms can eat shredded paper and produce compost that can be used as a fertilizer for
plants and gardens.
Vermicomposting: Putting
worms to work for you
By Staci Miller
Education specialist
Paulding SWCD
Vermicomposting is the process of using
worms (vermin is Latin for worm) to process organic food waste into nutrient-rich soil.
The saying One persons trash is another persons treasure (or in this case a worms treasure), is very true.
Worms are able to eat decaying food waste
and produce vermicompost which is packed
full of beneficial microbes and nutrients that
are a great plant fertilizer. Worm castings or
worm poop create the nutrient-rich compost.
Vermicomposting is becoming very popular
in towns or cities because it is able to be done
indoors and in a small space. Creating a worm
bin can be a fun way to reuse your food scraps
to create a natural fertilizer that will help your
plants grow.
If you choose to make a worm bin, you will
first need to create decide on the size of bin
you want to maintain. Storage totes make a
great inexpensive home for your worms. Once
you purchase your two storage totes, you need
to provide ventilation and drainage for the
worms. You will need to use a 1/4-inch drill
bit to drill several holes throughout the bottom
on one tote. The other tote will be used to collect the excess liquids, or worm tea, which can
be used as a liquid fertilizer for your plants.
Next you will need to use four wooden
blocks 2-4 inches high to prop up the bin with
holes in it and allow for drainage. Then take
the storage tote lid and drill several 1/8-inch
holes in it to allow the worms to breathe.
Once you have your bin made, its now
ready for worms. You will need to use red
worms for your bin because red worms live
close to the earths surface and dont need a lot
of space to burrow. Dont make the mistake of
buying night crawlers because they are deep
dwellers and need a large area to burrow.
Red worms can be ordered online and you
will need approximately one pound or 1,000
red worms to get started. They can live up to
one year in the bin, but they will reproduce
quickly to keep your bin productive year
around.

State Rep. Tony Burkley (right) recently visited Melissa Harders classroom at Paulding High
School to spend the day talking with students about the Common Core PARCC/AIR testing. Student
Chloe Foltz (left) had written a letter with a petition attached to Mr. Burkley, another representative
and the Governor to express her and her classmates dissatisfaction with what Ohio is doing with the
standardized testing. She did not receive a response, so Harder contacted Burkley and encouraged
him to reply. I did not want her to get discouraged with the political process, the teacher explained.
Burkley ended up writing to both of them and also accepted Harders offer to spend the day with her
freshmen. I wanted him to be able to hear from them their concerns, and also for them to hear from
him as to what he has been working on in regard to the testing, Harder said. It was a great day and
I believe that Mr. Burkley will go back to the State and express the students concerns and will work
hard toward the elimination of Common Core and its PARCC and AIR tests for Ohio.

Long 8th at elementary state wrestling meet
YOUNGSTOWN Four
members of the Wayne Trace
Wrestling Club traveled to the
Covelli Center in Youngstown
on March 28 to compete in the
OAC Elementary State Wrestling
Championships. Kamryn Sutton,
Kaiden Feeney, Jarrett Hornish
and Hunter Long, all district placers, were hoping to land a spot on
the state podium this year.
Kamryn Sutton was the first
wrestler to begin his journey at
the state tournament for Wayne
Trace. This was Suttons first year
competing at the state level. The
young grappler had a tough first
round draw and was pinned by
Evan Jett from Clinton Massie
in the first period. Sutton came
back ready for his second match
against Camron Lewicki from
Garrettsville, winning with a
dominating score of 12-0. Sutton
then advanced to continue wrestling on Sunday, at which he fell
short losing to Reese Marshall
from Amanda Clearcreek by pin.
Kaiden Feeney, also a first-timer to compete at the state tournament, was pinned in the first
round by Copleys DOmare Portis. Feeney then wrestled Carter
Elliott from Greenwood and was
defeated by pin.
Jarrett Hornish, not a stranger to the state tournament, knew
Four wrestlers representing the Wayne Trace Wrestling Club participated in the state elementary meet following their performance at the district tournament. Hunter Long (third from the left)
managed an eighth place finish and the opportunity to stand on the tournament podium. Other
participants in no particular order include Kamryn Sutton, Kaiden Feeney and Jarrett Hornish.
Fans in the stands and players on the sidelines participated in the annual 24-hour Basketball

installed at Archer Field. The lights were purchased from the Clyde School at a cost of $5,000 and
will bring much improvement to the lighting during night games and other activities hosted at the
field. The purchase of new lights was a great savings for the local district. It is estimated that new
lights would have cost approximately $200,000.

In the
Garden
By
Kylee Baumle
The crocuses were in full
bloom, and by the time you
read this, the reticulated irises
should be too. Those glowing Glory of the Snow (Chionodoxa luciliae) have made
their appearance and for those
of you who live in or drive
through Payne, be sure to
drive by the house just east of
the elementary school on Ohio
49. The tree line at the west
edge of the property is sure to
be full of them and its a beautiful display of blue.
After I finished up my work
at the end of that warm spring
day, I went to the house to get
my camera so that I could capture some of the beauty I had
seen. I photographed the crocuses, of course, and when I
knelt down to get close, I saw
my first honeybee of the season, busily collecting nectar
and pollen.
As I walked around the yard,
I noticed more new growth
here and there, and then something else caught my eye. Was
it ... could it be? Using the
telephoto lens of my camera
like binoculars, I focused in on
something sitting on a branch
of one of our small trees.
That familiar thrill hit my
stomach as I realized the bluebirds had returned. We live
just north of their year-round
range so we dont usually see
them until the weather has
warmed enough for them to
move further north. This one
had been checking out one of
the three bluebird houses we
have. I hope it stays to raise its
family here.
Bluebirds are special to me
because theyre not a particularly flighty bird. Ive been
able to get quite close to them
