County Sheriff JasonLanders was not even born atthe time of 14-year-old

Nancy Eaglesons kidnap-ping and murder, but heknows a lot about the 50-year-old cold case.

On March 11-12, 2013,Sheriff Landers and DeputyTyler Stork made a trip to the

National Center for Missingand Exploited Children(NCMEC) in Alexandria,Va., to learn the results andfindings of the NCMECteam.

A group of NCMEC in-vestigators had been inPaulding in 2011 to assist intrying to solve the homicide.

Following investigationsand interviews, the NCMECteam put together aPowerPoint presentation onthe case and invited Landersand his deputy to attend.

Landers said, This wasvery interesting and hearingall about their investigationwas really something. Eachteam member shared com-ments and opinions.

The general consensus isthat law enforcement at thetime did all they could dowith their investigative toolsand limited resources.

I am sure if we had thephysical evidence here today,that with our modern tech-

nology, we could solve thiscase, Landers said.

Nancy Eagleson, at age14, was abducted, raped andshot on Nov. 13, 1960. Theabduction occurred while sheand her little sister, Sheryl,were walking home from themovies and a Coke atJohnsons Restaurant.

Sheryl said at the time thatshe could only describe thekidnapper as a big man withglasses and a white shirt onlike he had been to church.

Sheriff Landers said thathe has never seen any of theevidence that was to have in-cluded Eaglesons shoes,dress, underwear and purse.

The old jail and new jailwere searched intensely bythe NCMEC investigators,who are still puzzled as tohow the items could havecame up missing.

Jason Landers was electedsheriff of Paulding County in2012 and took office inJanuary 2013. He and histeam have been busy makingseveral drug busts in thecounty and even workingwith a limited staff is follow-ing up leads on this unsolvedcase as they come in.

A couple of weeks ago,Jeff and Cassie Hollis, own-ers of All Trades Restoration,found an old shoe as theywere digging in the basement

Chances are slim

that DNA can be

found on the shoe

PAULDING If you have never been in-side of the old jail in Paulding, the communi-ty is invited to take an eerie tour on Oct. 25,26, 31 and Nov. 1 and 2. The tours are beinggiven by Jeff and Cassie Hollis, owners of AllTrades Restoration Company and currentowners of the old property.

The former jail building built in 1876 is abrick structure compete with cell blocks, athird floor and a basement. Rumor has it thatghosts roam the hallways and evidence has

been detected by paranormal groups confirm-ing that many spirits do indeed make theirhome in the old brick structure.

Jeff Hollis said, We did hear this place washaunted, but since I had never encountered aghost before, I just wasnt sure. Now, since Ihave personally seen the evidence, I am chang-

ing my mind. I do believe that spirits are here.The All Trades and Hollis have been work-

ing on the old jail structure and in their laborthey have torn five layers of laminate off thekitchen floor, torn out ceilings and removedcarpet.

In the basement, Hollis and his crewknocked out openings in the brick wall,which led to various tunnels. In at least onelong tunnel were what appeared to be cells.In another long hallway was an old lavatoryapparently used at one time by the jails pris-oner population.

There are a lot of rooms, twists, tunnels,closets and doors in the facility and anyonetaking the guided tours will get to observe ex-actly where all of the spirits now make theirhome. An Ohio paranormal group told theHollises there is quite a bit of evidence of ac-tivity in this jail.

ANTWERP On Saturday,Oct. 26, the Antwerp Chamberof Commerce would likeeveryone to join them in sup-

port of our local businesses.This 3/50 Project event has

been created to keep local dol-lars local.

There are many items thatwe buy at big box stores, thatwe can buy right here inAntwerp, said MichelleDooley, chamber president.On Oct. 26, you have the op-

portunity to discover what you

can get here in town ratherthan a chain store elsewhere.

The idea is simple. The 3/50Project asks residents to thinkof three businesses that theywould not want Antwerp to bewithout, to target for theirspending, then spend $50 permonth in those stores.

Even if a special day is notset aside, residents can make ahabit of this monthly.Regardless of the economic

ANTWERP At its regularmeeting Monday, Oct. 21,Antwerp Village Councilheard from Sheriff JasonLanders concerning the up-coming E911 levy, several or-dinance readings were pre-sented, and a representative

covered. Digging resumedTuesday morning and contin-ued until late afternoon.Investigators sifted throughseveral buckets full of dirt, butfound nothing else.

Landers cautions that peo-ple should not get their hopesup waiting for the report to re-turn regarding possible DNAtesting.

Due to the fact that so

many people either touched orviewed the shoe remains actu-ally taints the testing process,Landers said. While talkingwith lab technicians at BCI

this week, they are telling methe chances of linking any-thing back to Nancy are verythin.

Landers reminds the publicthat if they think they havefound something that could

possibly be any kind of evi-dence, please call the sheriffsoffice.

Landers said, This is prob-ably one of the most emotion-

al cases in the history of ourcounty. Calls are coming inand there is nothing more Iwould like to see than to solvethis case.

of the old jail, which they hadrecently purchased.

The Hollises did not knowanything about any physicalevidence being missing in theEagleson case, but as theywere being interviewed abouttheir upcoming haunted jailtours, the subject of Eaglesonand missing evidence cameup. It was then that Jeff Hollissaid that he had found a shoe.

The Eagleson family was con-tacted and they went to look atthe shoe Friday, Oct. 11.

After the family examinedthe shoe and determined it ap-

peared to be similar to onesworn by Nancy Eagleson onthat fateful evening, SheriffLanders was called to thescene and took it as possibleevidence.

Landers said that a DNA ex-pert from the states Bureau ofCriminal Investigation (BCI)is going to attempt to get DNAfrom the shoe.

Late on Oct. 11, two vansfrom the states Bureau of

Criminal Investigation (BCI)were on scene to see if any ad-ditional material could befound in the passagewaywhere the shoe had been un-

time and part-time employeespresently working there.

Clemente added, This isnever an easy decision to

make, and we know it willhave an impact on thePaulding community. We wishto express our thanks to themany friends that we haveserved over the past severalyears and also thank the em-

ployees who have served ourcompany faithfully during thattime.

The Devonshire REIT inWhitehouse, near Toledo,owns and manages the proper-ty. When contacted, aspokesman said they were no-tified on Thursday of ALCOs

plans to close.The companys data sheet

about the plaza indicates thatALCO occupies 22,306square feet.

They had to let us know bythe end of October whetherthey would renew their lease,said property manager DianeRowe.

Devonshire REIT hope toattract new tenants forALCOs space, plus the vacantfacilities formerly occupied byRite Aid and a laundromat.ALCOs departure reallyleaves that center half-dark,Rowe added.

The companys data sheetabout the plaza indicates that

ALCO occupies 22,306

square feet.Anyone interested in leasing

information should contactleasing manager Eric Hutchins

at 567-246-5335 or 419-283-1237.The stores closure will be a

blow to the communitys retailsector, in addition to leavingnumerous people without jobs.Its the only general merchan-dise department-type store inthe county, except for DollarGeneral stores in Paulding andPayne and one opening around

Nov. 7 in Antwerp.Im disappointed they are

leaving the community, butwell work hard on finding areplacement for them, saidJerry Zielke, county economicdeveloper.

In my opinion, it was a keystore, he added.

Zielke, who began his du-ties just a month ago, alreadyhad been in contact with the

property owners to find ten-ants for the vacant spaces inthe plaza.

I have a couple of ideas ofpossible tenants, he said. Itwas a well-rounded store. Weneed a clothing store; we needthings that will keep people(shopping) here. Well look atother communities and whatworks for them.

ALCOs operating resultsfor the first half of fiscal 2014,

issued on Sept. 17, states net

sales from continuing opera-tions increased 3.9 percentfrom the same period last year,and same-store sales increased

1.4 percent.ALCO Store Inc.s. annualreport released on April 23,2013, showed that during fis-cal year 2014, the companyexpected to open no less thanfive stores and was in processof closing four stores. Duringfiscal year 2013, the companyopened five additional storesand closed four stores, result-ing in a year-end total of 217stores. The companys strategyfor store development is to in-crease sales and profitability atexisting stores by refining themerchandising mix and im-

proving operating efficiencies.

In fiscal year 2013, the com-pany saw these operating re-sults; sales increased to $496million or 3.5%; same-storesales decreased 1.0%; netearnings were $1.7 million or$0.48 per share, compared tolast years adjusted earnings of$0.21 per share; and adjustedSG&A expense was 27.2% ofsales, a slight improvementover last years 27.4%.

due to the colder weatherweve had. Tomorrow, we

plan to go pick grapes to putinto juice. We are out of grape

juice, so it will be nice tohave some on hand again.

Cider and popcorn and ap-ples are also a favorite snackaround here this time of year.

Saturday morning westarted out for Berne, Ind. toattend the reunion of myGrandpa and GrandmaGrabers family who are bothdeceased. They have almost1,400 descendants now. Itwas a large gathering, whichIm guessing over 1,000 at-tended.

The reunion was held in alarge shed at my cousin Daveand Mary Grabers. They fur-nished all the grilled chickenfor everyone. We sure appre-ciated all the bother they went

through. Its not easy gettingready for a crowd this big.

The rest of the food was acarry-in. There werecasseroles, mashed potatoes,gravy, salads of all types, lotsand lots of desserts: cakes,

pies, cookies and bars.Lemonade and coffee wereserved for drinks. There wasmore than enough food. Itook cherry and apple pie, butthere were many differentkinds of pie there.

The last time this reunionwas held was 9 years ago atUncle Elmer and Aunt

Emmas. We were unable toattend so its been awhilesince Ive seen some of mycousins. I did see a lot ofthem at the funerals ofcousins Dan and Chris in Jan-uary. Our thoughts went to

This second week of Octo-ber turned out to be nice andsunny although mornings arecool. It was a perfect week tocatch up on outside work.

One evening, my husband,Joe, and the boys cleared outone of our gardens and tilled

it. Joe planted a ground covercrop this year to help replen-ish the soil. We werent usedto doing this when we lived inIndiana, but with the soil

being so sandy around here itwill help.

This year we are trying awinter radish, although notedible, that will help preventweeds and also replenishesthe minerals needed in thesoil. Several families in ourchurch district have triedthem and had good results.

The girls are also rakingleaves every chance they get.

They are accumulating on theground faster than they cankeep up with our many trees.There are signs of autumneverywhere, including farm-ers who are starting to harvesttheir crops.

We had some very happychildren last night. Minnie,the miniature pony thatdaughter Susan trained, and isalso the mother of our minia-ture pony, Prancer, is ours tokeep now.

Her owner called and won-dered if we would want her.He said we can just have her

since Susan trained her andhes not really set up to takecare of her this winter. Thechildren wanted to go get herright away last night.

Grapes are ripening late atthe U-pick orchard this year

their families that day think-ing of their missing lovedones.

Our family went in two dif-ferent vans since the 14-pas-senger vans are harder toschedule. Sisters Verena andSusan rode with Joe and I andthe six youngest in a 10-pas-senger van. Elizabeth, Susan,and their special friends camein a mini-van. Jacobs oldestdaughter, Elizabeth, alsocame with them so Jacobsfamily could fit in a mini-van.

We stopped in at sister Lizand Levis on the way home.Liz set out snacks for every-one. We started home around5 p.m. and arrived homearound 7:45 p.m. A long, butenjoyable day.

Please support

the library levyDear Editor,

The historic PauldingCounty Carnegie Library has

been an integral part of ourcommunity for nearly 100years. On Nov. 5, we are

being asked to support the li-brary well into the future witha continuous levy so that thelibrary and its branchesthroughout our county canmaintain current level of serv-ices.

This means NO NEWTAXES, just what propertyowners are paying now. Themillage amount will not in-crease even though property

values may rise.Our families depend on the

library services for newspa-pers, magazines, books,movies, electronic media, in-ternet use, IRS forms, geneal-ogy research, and much,much more!

If you havent been to themain library for a while, taketime to stop in and see the

beautiful interior and new,comfortable reading areas.Take a moment to visit withstaff members so you can ap-

preciate their dedication toPauldings strong library sys-tem.

We want our children andgrandchildren to experiencethe same sense of wonder andawe that the library providedus throughout the years.

Library tax could

go to better useDear Editor,

We have 20 tax ballot is-sues in Paulding County forthe Nov. 5 general election.

Of those 20, the levy re-quested by the library is thethird highest in the county.

This levy, which is a contin-uing levy, will generate ap-

proximately $680,761annually for the library. Ourlibrary director states that thelibrary receives more thanhalf of its revenue from thetax levy. If this is only morethan half, what is the total op-erating budget? To be an in-formed voter the votersshould know the total operat-ing budget. It would be inter-esting to see how the totaloperating budget of the Pauld-ing County library comparesto other library budgets forother counties in Ohio with acomparable population.

If this tax levy were for

one-third of this amount and ifit were not a continuing levy, Iwould support it. Personally Ifeel it would be a better use ofour tax dollars to put approxi-mately $400,000 of this to-ward reopening our PauldingCounty Jail and stop payingPutnam County to house ourinmates.

I urge all property ownersand especially farmers to re-view your tax records to re-mind yourself the amount youare paying annually to supportthe library.

Students come

first at PEVSDear Editor,

The Paulding ExemptedVillage Schools has a 2.36-mill renewal levy on the ballot

Nov. 5 for operating expenses.There are NO NEW TAXESassociated with this levy!

This levy was first passedby our voters in 1981 at 8.0mills and has been renewedseven times. The original levyin 1981 was called an emer-gency levy, so we are re-

quired to use the samelanguage on the ballot.

The district works continu-ously to monitor expenseswhile keeping high quality ed-ucation. Students come first atPEVS and we hope the votershelp to continue to make thisa top priority.

The Paulding Schools havenot only personally helped meacademically, athletically and

professionally, but they haveprovided guidance to help megrow as a person. My kidsand wife have also attendedschool in Paulding. The teach-

levy renewalDear Editor,

I am writing to support therenewal levy for the PauldingCounty Health Department.

The services provided bythe health department benefiteveryone in our county.Whether it be vaccines suchas flu shots, water well tests,birth and death certificates or

food service inspections, theirwork contributes to our qual-ity of life.

In my opinion, the PauldingCounty Board of Health andtheir staff members have per-formed well and deserve a yesvote on the November ballot.

Harrison Twp.

voters have

several optionsDear Editor,

This year, Harrison Town-ship voters will have five can-didates campaigning for twotrustee positions. There willalso be an election for the un-expired term of our formerclerk with two candidates.Election years give voterstheir opportunity to be heard

by their candidates.I believe that elected offi-

cials work for the voters andthey are there to serve theneeds of the residents as longas the budget will permit. Asone of your candidates fortrustee, I have had the oppor-

tunity to visit with several res-idents and hope to see severalmore before the election.Please know that I would takethe responsibilities very seri-ous and will work hard for thecitizens of Harrison Township.

I have been a lifelong resi-dent and business owner inHarrison Township. I haveserved as Payne Chamber

president or vice-presidentsince 2005 while performingseveral improvements to thecommunity. I have also servedon the Paulding County Soci-ety for Crippled Children &Adults basketball marathon

committee since 1995. In2007, I began mowing theroadsides as a subcontractorfor Harrison Township andhave enjoyed improving ourtownship.

I honestly think that myage, diverse background, andflexible schedule can benefitHarrison Township. The elec-tion process has been very in-teresting and I hope to be a

part of your local government.I would greatly appreciateyour support on Nov. 5.

Free Speech Week Oct. 21-17

Celebrating the roleof newspapers in

protecting free speechBy Caroline Little, president and CEO

National Newspaper Association of America

Where would we be as a nation without the freedom ofspeech?

After all, according to the annual State of the First Amend-ment survey, it is by far Americas favorite freedom and ourmost important right. In that survey, 47 percent voted for freespeech, compared to 10 percent for the next closest right,freedom of religion. It is only appropriate that we dedicate aweek to celebrating free speech.

The freedom to express ourselves and speak our minds isan inextricable part of a strong democracy. When you have agovernment directed by its citizens, it is critical that thosecitizens be engaged and informed. Indeed, our founding fa-thers recognized the critical need for the free flow of infor-mation.

It is equally important that citizens have the freedom andthe avenue to challenge the government and its representa-tives, discuss key issues, and be absolutely assured that their

voices are heard.Newspapers provide that avenue and self-expression

through guest opinion pieces and letters to the editor. We rec-ognize the importance of publishing a diversity of view-

points, as we only grow as a country and effectively addressdifficult issues if a variety of expertise, facts and opinions areshared.

Today, social media has been heralded as one of the greatestplatforms for free speech and self-expression. Anyone can postwhatever they want at their convenience, and it lives online forthe whole world to see.

But when it comes to important matters, where citizens wantto make sure that their thoughts and expertise are considered bythe public and leaders alike, newspapers provide the platform toreach their community and influence their leaders.

We see this again and again, most recently when VladimirPutin and John McCain spoke directly to Americans and Rus-

sians by going straight to newspapers. As they demonstrated, itsan effective strategy to capture attention and state your position whether you are a global leader or a small-town worker.

Years ago, newspapers were the only reliable way to dissemi-nate information to a wide audience. Thanks to the Internet, oursociety has become inundated with information from manysources. The Internet plays a critical role in the delivery ofnewspaper media and newspapers remain the trusted source incommunities, large or small, that cut through the clutter with thenews that you need to know.

Newspapers remain the reliable way to reach the Americanpublic. Our circulation revenue is up and our readership isgrowing, because today, more than ever, people need a newssource they can trust.

Our right to accurate news and to know the truth about whatis going on is very closely tied to our right to free speech andour freedom to challenge leaders and institutions on their prac-

tices. Newspapers are a key channel for that information. Inves-tigative journalists constantly serve as public watchdogs,uncovering everything from governmental procedures to unsafefactory conditions.

Newspapers inform the public of important stories. As welearn from others expertise and understand important issues, weare empowered to speak up, take a stand and create change.

In America, we have the right to publish negative stories andto realize what is really going on. We have the right to push forchange and play an active role in our country. We have the free-dom to express ourselves, and the assurance that our voices will

be heard.We celebrate Free Speech Week from Oct. 21-27 because we

celebrate free speech every day.The opinions stated are those of the writer, and do not neces-

sarily reflect that of the newspaper.

A Penny ForYour Thoughts....By: Nancy Whitaker

JUST ENJOY THE RIDE

It seems as if our whole

world is in a hurry. We hurryto go to work and then we arein a hurry to get home. Whenwe get home, we rush to cookdinner, do the dishes, feed thedog and take out the trash.

I have decided that I mustbe one of the slower movingpeople in the world, becauseI am never in a big hurry togo to or to get anywhere. Infact, I hate to hurry.

I know I frustrate people,because it takes me forever toget ready to go anyplace.Men can jump in the shower,dry off, get dressed and comb

their hair within 15 minutes.It takes me that long just todecide if I want to take a bathor a shower.

Once that decision is made,

there is the decision of whatkind of bath gel I want to use

and if I want to wash and putconditioner on my hair. Deci-sions like these take time.

If I were organized, Iwould probably have myclothes all laid out and knowwhat I was going to wear. Notme! I may try on 5 outfits be-fore I make a choice.

Fixing my hair and puttingon jewelry and make up isvery hard to do in a hurry. If Ihurry I cant find an earring

back or even a pair to match.Of course, I am trying tohurry, but the faster I go, thelonger it takes me to do any-

thing. I will either drop some-thing, spill something orforget what I was hurryingfor.

My husband will be sitting

there waiting all ready to goand every five minutes, he

will announce the time. Hewill say, Well it is 5:30.What time do we have to bethere?

Announcing the time reallydoesnt make me any faster, it

just makes me more frus-trated. I dont like being earlyand I really dont like beinglate. I guess I dont thinkabout getting a good parking

place or how long it takes toget to where we are going.

Life goes by so fast justlike a train. Perhaps weshould slow down and justenjoy the ride.

As one old saying goes,The trail is the thing, not theend of the trail. Travel too fastand you miss all you are trav-eling for.

Midwests crops couldbe key to world survival

By Mark HoltsberryEducation specialist

Paulding SWCDAs I thumbed through articles, clips and

random notes, thinking of something to writeabout, I stumbled onto this article that I feltthat was interest to the general public. Here it

goes:Why is the U.S. State Department con-cerned with the way Midwesterners farm theirland? Answer, agriculture intersects with do-mestic and foreign trade policies, global foodsecurity and climate change in major ways. Inaddition, todays farmers will soon face thechallenges of creating a sustainable agriculturesystem as the world population grows fromseven billion to nine billion in the next 40years.

According to Jack A. Bobo, U.S. State De-partments senior adviser for biotechnology,agriculture has made at times a negative im-

pact on our planet, but is also vitally importantfor everyones survival. He is looking forways to decrease agricultures footprint in theworld during a time of great populationgrowth. Did you know that 40 percent of theearths land has been cleared for agricultureand nearly 70 percent of its fresh water is usedfor agriculture? As Johnny Carson would say,

I did not know that.Deforestation associated with agriculture

is responsible for more than 30 percent ofgreen house gas emissions, notably carbondioxide, nitrous oxide and methane. Now,throw in the issue of soil erosion and degrada-tion, which are both major factors in the de-

cline of agricultural productivity at a timewhen farmers need to be more productive thanever.

According to Bobo, the challenge is to pro-duce the same amount of food that has been

produced in the past 10,000 years. Becauseglobal population is expected to reach 10 bil-lion in 2050. He thinks the focus should be ongenetically modified foods and more attentionto climate change. He also states that farmersare willing to pay for new technologies as longas it helps increase income or lead to de-creased costs. By reducing agricultures foot-

prints, we can avoid creating irreversiblechanges to the planet while still feeding theglobal community.

At the Paulding Soil and Water, we can helpwith issues of soil erosion by designing grasswaterways, filter strips, cover crops, and plantwindbreaks with trees.
