HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ALGAL BLOOMS?

By: Patrick Troyer, Pauld-ing SWCD

Recently, some may have

noticed areas along the rivers and streams may have looked a bit on the green side like you would see for St. Patrick’s Day in many towns and cit-ies. Well, we are a bit removed from that holiday where riv-ers are artificially died green. So what is the issue? That green color is one culprit that we have seen dominate the agricultural headlines for the

UPDATE ON ANTWERP COMPOST SITE CLOSURE

As of 8/30/19 the Com-post Site at the Antwerp Sewer Plant is still closed. All branches and leaves have been chipped and re-moved from the site. The Village is waiting for Ohio EPA to inspect the site clear of all compost to release the Village from their over-site. Once EPA has inspected the site the Village will re-open the site for branches and vegetation again. There will be no change in what is tak-en, just how it was report-ed and controlled by EPA. It is anticipated it could be another 2 weeks before the Village will be allowed to re-open. As soon as we get the OK we will post the opening on this website, the Village’s facebook page and in the West Bend News.

SEPTEMBER NEWS FOR ANTWERP MANOR

Welcome to Antwerp Manor Assisted Living lo-cated at 204 Archer Drive in Antwerp, Ohio. Once again we have been having fun! Thanks to our faithful,

kind volunteers we were able to travel by foot, bicycle, or wheelchair to visit the Ant-werp Train Depot. It is such a beautiful building and we really enjoyed learning about the building from our Village

Administrator, Sara Keer-an. Sara did an excellent job showing us around the build-ing and explaining her role

in our village. After the tour we headed to the Root Beer Stand for an ice cream treat of our choice. Everyone enjoyed their treats and we had a nice time on a beautiful summer day.

Our next big event will be National Assisted Living Week which begins on Sep-tember 8th. Each day the res-idents have a chance to win extra Bingo Bucks. Several days during the week there are special activities planned such as a Make up Party with Penny Crabill, special music

by Alan Shaffer, and home-made donuts by Susie’s Bak-ery in Paulding for breakfast on Friday! Feel free to stop in at any time during this week to say hello. We love to wel-come friends and visitors!

We have a Walmart trip scheduled for October 11th

so if you have ever thought about volunteering for an outing we always appreciate help on the shopping trips. Another American Red Cross Blood Drive is on the October calendar. If you are interested

in giving blood please contact Jennifer Ramsier before the drive on the 29th. The blood drive begins at 11:00 and ends

at 5:00. Also coming up in October is our annual safe, warm, and dry trick or treat-ing! Our schedule is the same as the town’s schedule so re-member to add our address into your evening of trick or treating fun!

Please remember that An-twerp Manor is a residence in our community for you. We not only offer long tern as-sisted living but short term respite care as well. Contact Brian McLaughlin , Lori Wal-ton, or Jennifer Ramsier @ 419-258-1500 at any time.

IN MEMORIAM

On the night of August 9-10, Apollo, one of Soarin’ Hawk’s Great Horned Owl ambassadors, died suddenly. As you might imagine, we all were shocked and devastated at such a great loss. Apollo had a personality as big as the sky, and we will love and miss him always.

It is very hard to put into words what this magnificent Great Horned Owl meant to me. He was the face of Soarin’ Hawk for many years, because he was our only Great Horned Owl until Zeus joined us in 2014. They quickly became very close, and you would al-ways find them perched right next to each other, with Apol-lo seemingly being the pro-tector of Zeus.

Apollo’s tenure with Soar-in’ Hawk Raptor Rehab began in 2010 when he was brought in with a previous wing inju-ry that had healed incorrectly. He was left unable to fly and would not have survived in the wild.

I had the gift of working as one of Apollo’s handlers for nearly three years. He

had attitude, a huge pres-ence, and personality. It is an indescribable experience developing a bond with a fierce predator; having Apol-lo or any raptor trust you is a gift like no other. I love all of our birds at SH but there are a few who have always had a big part of my heart, and Apollo was one of them. We had a special bond. My favorite times with him were when I took him outside for a walk. He would see things in the sky and stare at them. Then, I would look too, and eventually see what was in his sight. He didn’t miss any-thing! I felt as if he was teach-ing me to be more observant, to look for things that might not be seen at a first glance.

I think about Apollo and his mew-mate, Zeus, were al-ways together, always sitting next to each other on their perch or in their box. Apollo seemed to protect Zeus. Apol-lo was the vocal one in their mew. He clacked and puffed when I first entered their pen, then I would talk to him and he would settle down. I’d of-fer my gloved arm, ask him to step up, and he would sit on my arm close to me and look content, and then let out a few hoots. He trusted me, and I trusted him. I respect-ed the fact that he could do serious damage to me if he wanted to, but he never did. He was always a good owl. I will miss him so very much. He always made me smile, no matter what was going on in my life. Apollo would make my dark days bright, and the bright days brighter.

Fly free and soar high Apollo. I will always love you. You are missed by your Soarin’ Hawk family.

PROMEDICA EXECUTIVE TO CHAIR THE TOLEDO REGIONAL WALK TO END ALZHEIMER’S

An executive who has spent a majority of his career in the elder care industry will lead this year’s Toledo Walk to End Alzheimer’s.

The Alzheimer’s Associa-tion Northwest Ohio Chap-

ter is proud to announce that Steven M. Cavanaugh, Chief Financial Officer of ProMedi-ca, is chair of this year’s event.

The Walk, which serves residents in metro Toledo, will be held Saturday, Oct. 12, at Promenade Park in down-town Toledo. Mr. Cavanaugh said, “ProMedica is proud to be part of the Walk to End Alzheimer’s, not only here in Toledo, but in the communi-

ties we serve across the coun-try. Many of us have a loved one or know someone with a family member who has been affected by this devastating disease. We are honored to join the Alzheimer’s Associa-tion in their pursuit for pre-venting and curing Alzhei-mer’s and related dementias.”

In Northwest Ohio, 32,000 individuals live with Alz-heimer’s and 96,000 fami-ly members and friends are caring for them. Alzheimer’s is a fatal brain disease that cannot be cured, prevented or slowed. It is the sixth leading cause of death in the Unit-ed States, killing more than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined.

The Alzheimer’s Associa-tion Northwest Ohio Chapter serves a 24-county region. Julia Pechlivanos, Executive Director, Alzheimer’s Associ-ation Northwest Ohio Chap-ter, said, “The Walk to End Alzheimer’s® is a great oppor-tunity to remember and hon-or a loved one who has been touched by the disease. The Walk is so powerful because everyone there wants to find a cure for this disease.”

As chair, Mr. Cavanaugh will work to raise awareness about the upcoming Walk. On the ProMedica/HCR ManorCare Walk Page, the company wrote, “The Walk to End Alzheimer’s is not “just” a company event. We walk because we have seen the effects of this disease first hand. We have seen it in the eyes of family members, resi-dents and clients. Alzheimer’s doesn’t care who you are, what you do for a living or what income level you are. It can happen to anyone.”

Prior to becoming Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Cava-naugh was President of HCR ManorCare, a division of Pro-Medica. As Chief Financial Officer, Cavanaugh is respon-sible for the overall financial leadership of ProMedica, including accounting, finan-cial planning, revenue cycle, managed care, reimburse-ment, treasury and internal audit as well as supply chain management, process im-provement and financing.

Registration for the Toledo Regional Walk is open now. Individuals can go to alz.org/nwohio/walk to sign up as a Team Captain, to join a team or to register to walk as an in-dividual. While at the walk, participants can learn about Alzheimer’s disease, advo-cacy opportunities, clinical studies enrollment and sup-port programs and services from the Alzheimer’s Associ-ation. Walk participants also honor those affected by Alz-heimer’s disease with a poi-gnant tribute known as the Promise Garden ceremony.

All funds raised through the Walk to End Alzheimer’s further the care, support and research efforts of the Alzhei-mer’s Association. Last year, hundreds of local residents participated.

Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s®

The Alzheimer’s Associa-tion Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the world’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research. Since 1989, the Alzheimer’s Association mo-bilized millions of Americans in the Alzheimer’s Associ-ation Memory Walk®; now the Alzheimer’s Association is continuing to lead the way with the Walk to End Alzhei-mer’s. Together, we can end Alzheimer’s.

POWER2CHANGE AN-NOUNCES “ACCOUNTABILI-TY COACH TRAINING”

Power2Change announc-es “Accountability Coach Training” on September 7, 2019 from 9:00am to 12:30pm at Connection Points Min-istry, 2112 Inwood Dr., Fort Wayne, Indiana for people that want to get involved in helping people with life con-trolling problem like Sub-stance abuse/Addictions and problems that accompany these types of problems. This is a follow-up training oppor-tunity for those who have at-tended Living Free Recovery’s Facilitator Training in Jan-uary or June of this year, but open to anyone interested in helping others with life-con-trolling issues.

“Accountability Coaching does not take a profession-al degree or certification. It takes a person with a passion to help someone that needs encouragement and account-ability to ‘do the right things in life’ in order to change old behaviors.” said Dr. Daniel Schreck, Founder and Exec-utive Director at C o n n e c -tion Points Ministry.

When a person goes through a “life controlling” problem, they need some-one that walks with them through their problem, offer-ing encouragement as well as accountability which assists them in their life change. “Accountability Coach Train-ing”offers those who have been through Living Free Recovery’s weekend Facilita-tor Training course or have participated in an Insight Small Group a way to get involved and assist in offer-ing hope to people with “life controlling problems.” Pow-er2Change, the non-profit group in Paulding County, Ohio, recently committed to employing Living Free mate-rial to help those involved in drug court or anyone in the community in recovery. “Ac-countability Coach Training” will enable the non-profit group in Paulding Coun-ty, Ohio to provide hope to men and women in the legal system as well as their fami-ly members and anyone else who wants to “be free” from life controlling problems.

“People are hurting and need to be free from drugs and other addictive substances and behaviors,” said Dwight Stoller, Co-Founder of Pow-er2Change, the non-profit group in Paulding County, Ohio organizing to help the hurting in the Northern Ohio Area, “We are ready to help provide hope and healing to

the hurting. There are pre-ventive as well as recovery themes throughout the Liv-ing Free curriculums, adding further benefits to anyone in the community.”

“Accountability Coach Training” is driven by the need for people to walk along-side those that are addicted or have other forms of life controlling problems. Pow-er2Change is committed to deliver this quality “Account-ability Coach Training” and make it available to anyone who has already or intends to complete the Facilitator

Training and/or participates in an Insight Small Group in the relatively near future.

Power2Change is taking a leading position for reha-bilitation and recovery in the Northern Indiana/Ohio area. The mission of Power-2Change is “through prayer, small group training and personal mentoring we help the community discover the life-changing hope, faith and freedom in Christ.”

NEW RESEARCH SHOWS WASHING RAW POULTRY DANGERS

I just can’t stomach the idea of not washing raw chicken before cooking it. The slime on it is really off-putting. Isn’t rinsing out my sink afterward good enough to prevent spreading any germs?

No, it’s not.You shouldn’t wash or

rinse raw chicken or any other raw poultry before cooking it, because doing so doesn’t kill any bacterial pathogens such as Campy-lobacter, salmonella, or oth-er bacteria that might be on the inside and outside of raw chicken.

When you wash or rinse raw chicken, you are likely

last few years which would be none other than a Harmful Algal Bloom. What causes this? Is it toxic? How could we have these blooms if we are below average on rain? What are the effects? All these ques-tions may have crossed your mind at one point or another, so let’s get some answers.

According to the US EPA, algal blooms have become a major problem in all 50 states. In Ohio, the Toledo Water Crisis a few years back was one of the worst exam-ples on algal blooms as quite a few were left without drink-ing water. These blooms have severe impacts on human health, the economy, and the aquatic environment. The US EPA notes that the harmful algal blooms can appear in a green, blue, red, and even brown color that looks like paint on the water and can be both toxic and non-toxic in which case plants and an-imals will use this as a food source.

According to the Michi-gan Sea Grant, the HABs we see in our region are made up of blue-green algae which are technically classified as a type bacteria known as cy-anobacteria. The blue-green algae that cause HABs thrive on high amounts of sunlight, nutrients such as phosphorus and nitrogen, slow moving water, and shallow water.

Runoff is one way the nu-trients reach the waterways, but we haven’t seen much rain recently so what’s the deal? Recent calm, dry, and hot weather in the area has lowered water levels in rivers as well as streams and creat-ed still water providing the prime environment for the al-gae to grow in our rivers such has been seen on the Auglaize River as well as the Maumee River.

HABs are a natural oc-currence in nature but have been amplified by human ac-tivities. These algae thrive on excess nutrients that they can get from sewage discharge, dishwasher detergent, phos-phorus/nitrogen lawn fertil-izer, and agricultural runoff. Whether we are involved in agriculture or not we all play a part in the green color we

(Continued from Page 1) are seeing in our rivers and lakes. The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administra-tion (NOAA) had predicted a large algal bloom on Lake Erie for 2019, but the size is not always an indicator of how harmful the bloom may be. A larger bloom could have a less concentrated mixture of toxins compared to a small bloom.

Some may be thinking, so what is the effect of that green water they see on the river. The blue-green algae use the oxygen in the water as part of their processes and create dead zones in the wa-ter. Without oxygen plus the water being covered by the HABs, nothing is able to sur-vive these conditions. HABS produce toxins called my-cotoxins that can cause fish kills, make the water smell, contaminate drinking wa-ter which can severely sicken both humans and animals.

What can be done to deal with the algae? There are many simple things we call can do to make sure the blue- green algae (cyanobacteria) do not have the environment in which to form. The EPA notes that simple things can be done in the home such as choosing cleaners & de-tergents that are phosphate free, using the right amount of detergent in the washer,

picking up after our pets, and inspecting our septic systems. Washing our cars can also provide the right environ-ment for algae as many of the soaps contain some form of phosphorus, which the blue-green algae find very pleas-ing. When washing the car, do so on a grassy surface as the grass will act as a natu-ral filter before the carwash reaches the stream.

The one thing that cannot be controlled is the weather, so the shallow water and hot temperatures are factors that cannot be avoided. Regard-less, if we all follow the steps described above, we at least can decrease chances of hav-ing to see the green water. It is truly the little things we can do that will make a big differ-ence! Do your part and help us maintain a clean and safe water supply for all to enjoy!

splashing chicken juices that can spread those pathogens in the kitchen and contam-inate other foods, utensils, and countertops, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Some estimates say the splat-ter can spread out and land on surfaces up to 3 feet away.

In fact, a new report is-sued last week from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service showed dangerous levels of contamination be-tween bacteria from raw poultry and other surfaces, and foods being prepared nearby.

The study involved 300 people who prepared a meal of chicken thighs and salad in a test kitchen. Of those who washed the chicken be-fore cooking it, 60% were found to have left a trail of bacteria in the sinks and sur-rounding areas.

Even after washing out the sinks, 14% of the sinks were still contaminated with bacteria. Even worse, of the salads that were prepared in the test kitchen where partic-ipants washed the raw chick-en, 26% were contaminated with bacteria from the raw chicken.

That’s a problem because pathogens such as Campy-lobacter and salmonella can survive on surfaces such as countertops for up to 32 hours, according to the USDA Food Safety and In-spection Service.

The only way to kill these potentially dangerous bacte-ria is to cook the chicken to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Practicing sound, safe food handling is important, considering that 48 million Americans get sick with a foodborne illness every year, 128,000 are hospitalized, and 3,000 die, according to the CDC.

“Everyone has a role to play in preventing illness from food,” according to a USDA written statement. “Please keep in mind that children, older adults, and those with compromised im-mune systems are especially at risk.

“Washing or rinsing raw meat and poultry can in-crease your risk as bacteria spreads around your kitchen, but not washing your hands for 20 seconds immediate-ly after handling those raw foods is just as dangerous.”

To lessen your chances of developing a foodborne ill-ness, the USDA says to:

• prepare foods that will be served uncooked, such as vegetables and salads, before handling raw meat or poul-try.

• clean and sanitize thor-oughly any surface that has potentially touched or been contaminated from raw meat

and poultry, or their juices. To do this, clean sinks and countertops with hot, soapy water, let them dry, and then apply a sanitizer to them.

• wash your hands with soap for at least 20 seconds, rinse them under warm run-ning water, and dry them with a clean cloth or paper towel after handling raw poultry or any other raw meat.

• Lastly, be sure to cook your chicken to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, using a food thermometer to measure the temperature. Beef, pork, lamb, and veal steaks, roasts, and chops are safe to eat at 145 degrees, while ground meats are safe to eat at 160 degrees, the USDA says.

By: Dr. James BachmanDear Parson,Do you believe that ev-

I believe everyone will face some sort of judgment before God. Romans 10:10b and 12 – “…for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. …So then ev-ery one of us shall give ac-count of himself to God.” Hebrews 9:29 – And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judg-ment:”

It appears we shall all be judged by our works (Ecclesi-astes 12:14) and words (Mat-thew 12:36). As for getting to heaven, God has never low-ered His standards. He wants perfect righteousness and no sin. That rules everyone out (Luke 7:21, Romans 3:23, James 2:10).

However, God’s love sent His sinless Son as our sub-stitute to take our judgment (Isaiah 53:4-6). Now by grace anyone may receive Him by faith and have the gift of His perfect righteousness and payment for their sins ap-plied to their account (Ephe-sians 2:8-9, Romans 5:17).

If anyone receives Him by faith, they shall go to heaven (John 3:16), but if they reject Him, they are condemned and will have to eternally pay for their own sin (John 3:18).

The judgment for Chris-tians is called the Judgment Seat of Christ and decides how much reward they will receive for their good works (I Corinthians 3:11-15).

However, the judgment for unbelievers is called the Great White Throne Judg-ment which will determine the extra degree (not length) of eternal torment they have earned by the amount of their unrighteousness (Rev-elation 20:11-15).

If you have not yet re-ceived Christ, call me at 260-466-9937 and I will lovingly show you how to be 100% sure of your salvation.

The Hicksville Knights of Columbus recently distributed proceeds from their 2019 fish fries. The Wannabees Inc. received a $500 donation from the K of C. Pictured receiv-ing the donation are Lori Zachariah, Sharon Haver, Jackie Klender, Luke Richardson, Knights of Columbus Marlin Eicher, Diane Collins and Janice Richardson.

“2 communities growing, serving & sharing life” is the tagline of the new win-dow vinyl installed in New Haven, Indiana on Main St. These Churches, which have had a presence in this facili-ty for several years, have de-cided to reface the windows on the front of the building with welcoming information for people who want to know more of the community of Jesus Christ. The plan was implemented by Stan Gerig, member of the Church and working with Courier Printing Co. in Grabill, IN and West Bend Printing in Paulding County, Ohio to broaden the understanding, purpose and reach of the Church in the community. As people pass by, a perfect opportunity presents itself for those to understand the

welcomeness of Jesus Christ in this Church when they read the Message on the glass.

The world that exists to-day has lost hope, forgive-ness and community. The Church is there to provide these since its establishment. The love that Jesus showed to His followers then is the same love that continues in the Church today.

The Crossing Communi-ty Church meets on Saturday evenings at 6:00 p.m. and Impact Community Church meets on Sunday mornings at 10:00 a.m. If you would like to find out more of the church communities that ex-ist in this old storefront, stop in Saturdays at 6:00 p.m. or Sunday morning at 10:00 a.m. at 909 Main Street, New Haven, IN, 46774.

GETTING TO KNOW JESUS

Presented by the Oakwood Church of Christ

The Penitent Thief Read Luke 23:39-45.

T/F. One of the men cru-cified with him also mocked him.

The other criminal said that he knew Jesus had done:

a) great miracles; b) noth-ing wrong; c) terrible crimes.

This penitent man asked Jesus to:

a) pray for help; b) remem-ber him in his kingdom; c) be strong.

Jesus assured him that he would:

a) that day be with him in paradise; b) die soon; c) soon stop hurting.

While Jesus was on the cross there were how many hours of darkness?

a) two; b) three; c) four. John wrote that the pen-

itent criminal was a robber. There has always been much interest in this thief because we can see in his case the wonderful grace of the Lord in saving even one who was dying for his crimes. It should be remembered, however, that this occurred before the death of Christ and therefore before the New Testament system of salvation came into place. See Hebrews 9:16-17. It is sometimes argued that he was not baptized. We don’t know whether he might have been baptized before that day. The point has no bearing on us, however. because under the New Testament of Christ all sinners are commanded to be baptized for the remission of their sins (Acts 2:38).

His Mother and John Read John 19:25-30.

(The apostle John is identi-fied in the book that bears his name as “the disciple whom

Jesus loved.”) 23. T/F. Mary, the mother

of Jesus, was not present when Jesus was crucified.

T/F. John accepted the re-sponsibility for the care of Je-sus’ mother.

The next thing this text mentions that Jesus said was: a) “I am hungry”; b) “Give me vinegar”; c) “I thirst.”

What was raised up to his lips? a) vinegar (sour wine); b) water; c) honey.

After they did this, what did Jesus say? a) “God bless you”; b) “I do not want it”; c) “It is finished.”

Hours of Darkness Read Mark 15:33-36.

Darkness covered the land from the sixth hour to the:

a) eighth hour; b) ninth hour; c) tenth hour.

Jesus cried out “My God, My God, why:

a) are they so cruel?” b) is it so dark?” c) hast thou for-saken me?”

Because he used the Ar-amaic word for God, “Eloi,’ some people thought he was calling for:

a) Elias (Elijah); b) his mother; c) Enoch.

Why did Jesus say that God had forsaken him? We must remember that Jesus was dying for the sins of the world. He was actually expe-riencing the consequences of sin--not his own sin, but ours. One of the horrors of hell is that one will be separated from God. To pay the penalty for our sins he had to endure it all.

This even included for the time the awareness that he had been separated from the Father.

LEAVING YOUR JOB? WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR 401(K)?

If you’re in the early stag-es of your working life – or even in the not-so-early ones – the chances are pret-ty good that you will change jobs at some point. When that happens, you’ll prob-ably leave a few things be-hind – but will one of them be your 401(k)?

Of course, you wouldn’t really forget about your 401(k). (It does happen, however – over the period from 2004 through 2013, more than 25 million peo-ple left at least one 401(k) or similar plan behind when they left their job, according to the U.S. Government Ac-countability Office.) But you will have to do something with your account.

Essentially, you have four choices:

You can cash out your 401(k). It’s your money, but if you take it out before you reach 59 ½, you will owe federal income taxes, plus any applicable state and lo-cal taxes.

Also, you will likely be charged a 10% penalty for early withdrawal. Perhaps even more important, if you liquidate your 401(k) when you change jobs, you’ll be reducing the amount you’ll have left for retirement.

You can leave your 401(k) with your old employer. If your former employer per-mits it, you can leave your 401(k) intact, even after you move to a different job. This might be appealing to you if you like the investment choices in your account, but you won’t be able to make any new contributions. Plus, you won’t face any immedi-ate tax consequences.

You can move the mon-ey to your new employer’s 401(k). You can consolidate your old 401(k) with one of-fered by your new employer, if allowed. You won’t take a tax hit, and you might like your new plan’s investment options. And you may find it easier to manage your funds if they’re all held in one place.

You can roll your 401(k) into an IRA. You don’t need the permission from any employer – old or new – to move your old 401(k) to an IRA. Your money will con-tinue to grow on a tax-de-ferred basis, and an IRA offers you a virtually unlim-ited array of investment op-tions – stocks, bonds, mutu-al funds and so on. You can make either a direct or indi-rect rollover. With a direct

rollover, the administrator of your old 401(k) sends your money directly to the financial provider that holds your rollover IRA. No tax is withheld because you never actually take possession of the money. With an indirect rollover, you’re technically withdrawing the money and moving it to the IRA pro-vider yourself. (You’ve got 60 days to make this trans-fer.) You will face a with-holding of 20% of your ac-count’s assets, but you may be able to recover most of this amount when you file your tax return. Still, for the sake of ease of movement and avoidance of all tax is-sues, a direct rollover may be more advantageous.

Which of these options is right for you? There’s no one “right” answer for everyone. You’ll have to consider sev-eral factors, and you’ll cer-tainly want to consult your tax professional before mak-ing any decision. But in any case, do whatever you can to preserve – and hopefully grow – your 401(k) assets. You’ll need these resources to help fund the retirement lifestyle you want and de-serve.

OHIO PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS INVESTIGATING REPORTS OF INDIVIDUALS WITH SEVERE PULMONARY ILLNESS FOLLOWING VAPING

State and local public health officials are investi-gating reports of six Ohio-ans who experienced severe pulmonary illness following use of e-cigarettes, or vap-ing. The reports follow a re-cent national alert to health-care providers by the U.S. Centers for Disease Con-trol and Prevention (CDC) about pulmonary illnesses linked to vaping in at least 16 states, primarily among adolescents and young adults.

The investigations into Ohio’s six possible cases are just beginning and no addi-tional information is avail-able at this time.

The Ohio Department of Health (ODH) has issued a health alert to healthcare providers asking them to report all suspected cases of serious pulmonary illness where the cause is unclear with a history of vaping to local or state public health officials for investigation.

and small corporations, non-for-profits, government, and more. I help clients in all as-pects of human resources.”

“I also own a franchise with ActionCOACH-Busi-ness Coaching”, Harris shared. “It is the largest busi-ness coaching business in the world. We are in seventy countries. There are approxi-mately two or three franchis-es in Indiana. The other two are down near Indy. I am al-lowed to go anywhere in the state of Indiana and just be-yond into Michigan and into Ohio a little bit.”

ActionCOACH is fo-cused on teaching business owners their exclusive busi-ness-building strategies that will help to achieve the Ac-tionCOACH definition of a successful business: a com-mercial, profitable enterprise that works without you. Utilizing sales, marketing, and financial management systems, ActionCOACH not only shows you how to dramatically increase your business revenues and prof-its but also how to develop your business so that you, the owner, can work less and make more even while relax-ing more too.

Harris shared, “We try to re-educate. Most busi-ness owners didn’t go into business because they have a background in running a business, it’s usually a skill or function that they were good at or had a passion for. Then they get in the water and they find out ‘oh my gosh its going in a different direction, grow-ing up faster, I didn’t know it was going to be like this’. And so, what we try to do is, jump

in if you will, and help them navigate the waters.”

Right now, Harris is reaching business owners all the way to Warsaw and Fre-mont and down in Adams and Wells counties as well as in Columbia City and the Fort Wayne area. “I am in a position of being able to hire coaches and so I will proba-bly be hiring coaches in the next three to six months.” said Harris. “I am also able to grow Harris Resource Group and bring on HR consultants to do HR services.”

Recently Harris has start-ed sharing his knowledge with local Chambers of Com-merce. There are seven to eight core sections that Ac-tionCOACH has developed to help business owners. At each Chamber event the Chamber Director and Staff can choose a different topic to focus on. Then at each session Harris will share a little bit about running your business better, but then he will focus in on one or two items which have been chosen.

Harris shared that he en-joys going to various com-munities. He said, “You get a different feel there. It’s fun and kind of exciting. If I can help organizations and busi-nesses be better and help peo-ple with their careers that’s a beautiful thing. Continual improvement from individu-als to organizations and busi-nesses….seems to be my pas-sion. I started giving back to organizations a long time ago and if I can continue to make improvements for business owners and organizations, my personal and professional goals will be met.

NH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE SPOTLIGHT ON BUSINESS: HARRIS HUMAN RESOURCES GROUP, INC & ACTION-COACH-BUSINESS COACHING

Tom Harris, owner of Harris Human Resourc-es Group, Inc. and Action-COACH-Business Coaching is all about businesses and organizations succeeding. While growing up in Fort Wayne, Harris has been a part of the business world from a very young age. Harris shared, “I had a paper route at ten years of age and I had an almost full-time job at thir-teen. Alex Azar hired me and I was clocking thirty and for-ty hours a week quite often.” Harris was also heavily in-volved in Junior Achievement in school. He started out as the Marketing Vice President and stated that he couldn’t wait to become President of the Company. Harris said, “We made money and won some awards but I was always involved in entrepreneurial type of stuff growing up.”

While Harris shared that high school wasn’t really his strong suit, once he began his college career, he went full speed in earning sever-al degrees from a variety of schools. He said, “When col-lege came in, I got this drive for knowledge. Now I just can’t get enough.” Just some of his degrees are: a BS degree in personnel from IPFW, a MS degree at St. Francis Col-lege, and an MBA from Indi-ana Tech. Those are just a few of the educational opportuni-ties Harris took advantage of.

Now, Harris is the own-er of two businesses which work hand in hand. One is the Harris Human Resourc-es Group and the second is Ac t ionCOACH-Bu si ness Coaching. Both businesses work with business owners to create a smooth running and successful operation. Harris HR Group has as its goal to help any business with any needs they have in Human Resources. They assist with all aspects of human resourc-es from anything like how to hire, how to recruit, and how to select employees, and on to compensation, job descrip-tions, policy, even the devel-opment of employee manu-als. Harris said, “I have over twenty-five years in human resources management. I’ve been in large corporations

According to CDC, pa-tient respiratory symptoms have included cough, short-ness of breath, and fatigue. In some cases, symptoms worsened over a period of days or weeks and required hospitalization. Other symptoms reported by some patients included fever, chest pain, weight loss, nau-sea, and diarrhea.

“We are seeing a tre-mendous increase in vaping among our youth, which is a public health crisis,” said ODH Director Amy Acton, MD, MPH. “There is a per-ception that vaping is safe, and these reports of serious pulmonary illness linked to e-cigarette or vaping prod-uct use show that this is sim-ply not true.”

Besides nicotine, e-cig-arette aerosol that users breathe in can contain harmful and potentially harmful substances, includ-ing cancer-causing chem-icals; heavy metals such as nickel, tin, and lead; volatile organic compounds which can adversely impact health; ultrafine particles that can reach deep into lungs; and flavorings such as diace-tyl, a chemical used to give butter-like and other flavors that is linked to serious lung disease.

“Anyone who thinks that they may be experiencing serious breathing problems linked to vaping should seek immediate medical atten-tion,” said Dr. Acton.

Information about vap-ing and risks associated with e-cigarette use is available on the ODH website at www.odh.ohio.gov and the CDC website at www.cdc.gov. In-formation about resources to help people quit smoking and vaping are available on the ODH website, including the Ohio Tobacco Quit Line (1-800-QUIT-NOW).

CHURCHILL

By: Stan JordanI’m going to write a few

lines about Mr. Churchill because I never really knew what a big part he played in England’s part of WWII.

To start with, his own par-ty didn’t back him and the other party, the Labor Party, were in control.

Before the war started, a man named Chamberlin, represented England and when they met with the other leaders and Hitler, Hitler had already taken the Sudeten-land and part of Czechoslo-vakia and he said if those oth-er countries would give him the rest of Czechoslovakia he would be satisfied and there would be no more aggression. Well, Chamberlin fell for that and he went home satisfied, a big hero, a non-aggression pact.

Well, Hitler never meant to keep his word and in six months he and Stalin invad-ed Poland. His airplanes de-stroyed Poland and he arrest-ed all of the Jews. So, England and France declared war on Germany. The war went bad and the German drove the soldiers to a place called Dunkirk and about 400,000 of the soldiers were rescued, but no equipment.

The war continued and in the middle of the 1940’s England was bombed ev-ery day and night and Labor Party wanted to an ominast with Hitler. This is where Mr. Churchill became a leader.

Hitler didn’t want to trust the Germans in any way, but he was the only person there that was against capitulation, he was against trusting the Germans and he alone, all he could do was make a pleading speech to fight them on the beaches and in the air and on the water. It was a moving speech and it kept Great Brit-ain as it is today.

England was bombed night and day for months. All England had was the R.A.F. to fight the luftwaffa off but after a few months the Germans were losing too many bomb-ers and Hitler decided to start a war with Russia.

That saved England, but that was Hitler’s first big mis-take. The Russians didn’t stop the Germans, the weather did. It was miserably cold and the soldiers only had summer clothes, what didn’t get killed, starved or froze to death. Hit-ler’s second big mistake, he would not let the soldiers fall back and regroup, just stay there and freeze. Germany couldn’t fight another front, so when the invasion came, things went bad for Hitler. History tells you about the invasion and how the war ended. All the soldiers came home and were treated as he-roes and correctly so, but the man who saved England from being part of Germany was Churchill, but to me, Chur-chill never got the respect and honor that he should have.

He was soon forgotten and in a few months he was no longer the prime minister, people soon forgot.

I am as bad as they are. I put about six years in two and a half pages.

See ya.

RECORDS

By: Stan JordanI sit here at my desk and

I notice that August is half gone as this is Friday the 16th.

2019 has been some year for setting records. Now, these last couple of weeks have been pretty nice. May and June were record setters for rainfall, of course it de-pended on where you were. Some places didn’t get all the rain we did.

Then July has gone down as the hottest July ever. We have had our share of heat and humidity, but a good deal of the nation was hotter than we were.

Last spring was continu-ous storms and rain, we had more tornadoes than ever and flood after flood and some places are still under water.

In lots of places the farm-ers didn’t get all of the fields planted, the ground was just too wet and then it would rain some more. Lots of farmers didn’t get any corn planted, most of that acreage will be soy beans, what they did get planted was 4-6 weeks late.

I hope we have a good late fall. As I understand the av-erage first frost for the area is October 14th, if the frost will hold off till then, that will be a big help. Harvest time here will be late and hard. It will take the corn a long time to dry down.

It sure has been a different year and we still have a few months to go.

I think the beans and

what corn got planted have had enough rain to see them through.

See ya!

POLITICS TIME

By: Stan JordanWell, it has started...ac-

tually it has never stopped, I mean the politicing stuff. It is well over a year till the big election time of 2020.

As soon as a candidate gets elected, he starts campaign-ing for the next election. It makes no different what they are, a big or a little frog in the pond, It’s all the same.

For the next 16 months that is all you will hear and see, BLAH-BLAH-BLAH.

Some of their talks and promises should be recorded and after he is elected, keep him to his word. There is no difference, both sides are a little shaddey. The t.v. people will make billions off of this crap, at our discomfort. I congratulate Canada because they keep politicing to a min-imum (about 2 months and the election is over).

See ya!

A blonde and a brunette are in a car and the brunette mentions that Christmas falls on a Friday this. The blonde says “I hope it’s not the 13th!”

In a hushed voice the guy next to him says, “Before you tell that joke, you should know something. Our bar-tender is blonde, the bounc-er is blonde, I’m a 6’ tall, 200 lb black belt. The guy sitting next to me is 6’2 weighs 225 and he is a football player. The fella to your right is 6’5 pushing 300 and he’s a wres-tler. Each one of us is blonde. Think about it, mister. Do you still wanna tell that joke?”

The blind guy says, “Nah, not if I’m gonna have to ex-plain it five times.”

make that possible?Husband: We went to

shimla for our honeymoon. While horse riding, my wife’s horse jumped and my wife fell off. She got up and patted the horse saying “This is your first time” After a while it happened again and she said, “This is your second time” And when it happened the third time she took out a gun and shot the horse. I shouted at her saying “You psycho! You killed the horse!”

She gave a grave looked and said, “This is your first time” and we have lived hap-pily since then.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~THE BATHTUB TESTDuring a visit to the men-

tal asylum, I asked the direc-tor, “ How do you determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalized?”

“Well,” said the director, “we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub…:

“Oh, I understand,” I said. “A normal person would use the bucket because it’s bigger than the spoon or the teacup.”

“No.” said the director, “A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Mildred, the church gos-

sip, and self-appointed mon-itor of the church’s morals, kept sticking her nose into other people’s business.

Several members did not approve of her extra-curric-ular activities, but feared her enough to maintain their si-lence.

She made a mistake, however, when she accused George, a new member, of be-ing an alcoholic after she saw his old pickup parked in front of the town’s only bar one af-ternoon.

She emphatically told George and several others that everyone seeing it there would know what he was do-ing.

George, a man of few words, stared at her for a moment and just turned and walked away. He didn’t ex-plain, defend or deny. He said nothing.

Later that evening, George quietly parked his pickup in front of Mildred’s house….and left it there all night.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A boss wondered why one

of his most valued employees had not phoned in sick one day.

Having an urgent problem with one of the main comput-ers, he dialed the employee’s cell phone number and was greeted with a child’s whis-per.

“Hello”“Is your daddy home?” he

asked.“Yes,” whispered the small

voice.

“May I talk with him?”The child whispered, “No.”Surprised and wanting

to talk with an adult, the boss asked, “Is your mommy there?”

“Yes,” whispered the small voice.

“May I talk with her?”Again the small voice

whispered, “No.”Hoping there was some-

body with whom he could leave a message, the boss asked, “Is anybody else there?”

“Yes,” whispered the child, “a policeman.”

Wondering what a cop would be doing at his em-ployee’s home, the boss asked, “May I speak with the police-man?”

“No, he’s busy,” whispered the child.

“Busy doing what?”“Talking to daddy and

mommy and the fireman,” the whisper answered.

Growing more worried as he heard what sounded like a helicopter through the ear piece on the phone, the boss asked, “What is that noise?”

“A helicopter” answered the whispering voice.

“What is going on there?” demanded the boss, now tru-ly apprehensive.

Again, whispering, the child answered, “The search team just landed the helicop-ter.”

Alarmed, concerned and a little frustrated the boss asked, “What are they search-ing for?”

Still whispering, the young voice replied with a muffled giggle, “ME!”

MY NEW BASS BAIT

By: Stan JordanThis semi-true story hap-

pened in the late 1950’s. I and a buddy, who has long been gone, went fishing for large mouth bass up at Hamilton Lake at a place called Penn Park.

I had purchased a new black, green and yellow bass bait called a jitter bug. Every bass fisherman has at least one of them and a story to tell.

We worked our way over to this Penn Park area with-out having a hit at all.

I put on my new jitter bug bait and casted under a man’s dock there expecting a big hit right away, but it didn’t hap-pen. My bait went too close to the dock and all I got was fast to a water soaked board, and had to row over and retrieve my bait.

So we rowed to the south, toward another man’s dock and I threw my bait again up close to his dock and I didn’t

sort of expect what happened next. When my new bait hit the water, the peace and se-renity of Penn Park was over. The water boiled and splashed like I hadn’t seen for weeks. A fish had hit that new bait just as it hit the water. He came up out of the water and jerk-ed back and forth to shake that hook, but it didn’t work and he fell back into the wa-ter and he tore off toward the neighbor’s dock, the line just buzzed and he came up out of the water again and he took more line and jumped out of the water again, but he was getting tired. He made one more circle and by then he was up to the boat and my friend had him into the net.

I pulled out my De Liar scale and he weighed just 4 lbs. He fought like 4 lbs of dy-namite. He sure was a good scrapper.

I never caught a bigger one on that bait. We only caught a couple more small ones that day.

My friend had three chil-dren so he took the day’s catch.

See ya!

OAKWOOD HOMECOMING

By: Stan JordanThe boss called me Mon-

day morning about 10:00 and said, “I’m going over to the Oakwood Homecoming, do you want to ride along?” It was a nice morning and I said, “I believe I would like to go.”

When we got there, Main Street was closed to traffic, so we went on east a block, then up to the parade route. There was a policeman there and he helped us to get parked in a good area. The policeman was Greg Reinhart and he was a lot of help.

Right there was a four wheel Ranger from Real Waste Disposal and Lori gave me her front row seat in the Ranger. Oh what a good seat to watch the parade, her mother, Margaret, and I were a couple of old timers, enjoy-ing the whole situation.

The parade was a nice one with a lot of Corvettes, classic cars, tractors, floats, bands, fire trucks and EMS squads.

There were fire trucks from Oakwood, Continental, Kalida, Ottoville and Aug-laize Township. Oh, so much new and big equipment. A lot of old tractors and some new John Deere machinery.

I want to thank Lori, for giving me such a nice seat, right in the front row, curb side.

DESK VIEW

By: Katie OberlinOne month has never

gone by so quickly in my entire life. The immense amount of change and differ-ence I have discovered in my time here is hard to explain. Naturally, there are parts of the German country and culture I can easily identify. For example, nearly every car here is stick shift, every road has many curves, ev-eryone drinks sparkling wa-ter instead of still, and eating later than nine at night is not that abnormal here. Some parts are more difficult to understand and explain, like the dynamic between older teens and their parents, the culture of friendships and relationships, and the com-mon eating mannerisms. Creating a daily rhythm in a place I have never seen before has been, despite the unfamiliarity, natural, and I feel proud of myself for do-ing so.

Anywhere in the world, a person can enjoy a sunset, a starry night, or a flower. Regardless of location, peo-ple can always find a com-mon struggle on an espe-cially warm day. Of course, the world is full of people, and in any place, people can feel and find connections. A shared smile, laugh, or tear is universal. I feel so warmed by the connections I am making here. Even though I am a new kid and no one knows me as well as their other peers, I am still treated as a person and in-volved in the kindness, hu-mor, and relatability of those around me. Perhaps words are cheap, but they are the

key to the door of creating relationships. Conversation, like emotion, is also omni-present globally. It is the rea-son for language, the root of interaction, the expression of thought, the background of action; talking is important everywhere I am realizing. My mind has been opened by this change of scenery.

I am thankful for the opportunity I have taken advantage of by being here in Germany. By being here in this new environment, I am seeing the levels of com-plexity in everything. Every day, every interaction, ev-erything I do can be looked at closely or with distance, in many ways, from multiple points of view. My month of solitude has mostly taught me that life must be lived. I am a piece of anything I am involved in, whether it is on purpose or out of co-incidence, and I have the ability to create my own ex-perience and take away my own conclusions. Yesterday, I could not have predicted today, just as today I can not predict tomorrow. Know-ing I have one year here, in this place with these people, warms my heart. I enjoy new places and talking to people and being a teenager and seeing that each day with its own unique circumstances is making up what my life is. Germany has welcomed me with open arms, and I am here, embracing all that I come across.

WARRIORS BLANKED BY FLYERS

MARIA STEIN - Wood-lan and Marion Local each ran 34 plays in Friday night’s high school football game in Maria Stein.

However, the difference came down to the Flyers scored seven times in those 34 plays while holding the Warriors scoreless as Marion Local cruised to a 49-0 victo-ry.

The Flyers scored early and often in the first half, pouring on 21 points in the opening quarter to take a commanding 21-0 advantage

This summer, Mrs. Harla Long, math teacher at Ant-werp Middle/High School, was able to participate in a unique STEAM opportuni-ty. Long and her daughter Rayna Moore were part of a small group who received a private tour of the Neutral Buoyancy Lab, Johnson Space Center, and Space Center in Houston, Texas. They met as-tronaut Dr. Tom Jones, built rockets that they launched

on NASA property, and were invited to learn to scuba and complete astronaut training activities in the same pool where astronauts get their scuba certification. Long and Moore experimented with robotics and touched a moon rock and the actual Apollo 17 command capsule, which was the last to take humans to the moon. Long even graduated from astronaut training with a special certificate.

Festival FANFARE!REAL CARE - REAL COMFORT

REAL CONVENIENCE

ANTWERP - The high school football season kicked off at Archer Field on Friday night where visiting Montpelier jumped out to an early lead and held off Antwerp for a 40-26 victory.

The Locomotives opened a 12-0 advantage after one quarter and never looked back in starting their season at 1-0.

Antwerp did pull within 12-6 in the second quarter on a 46-yard touchdown toss from Blake Schuette to Jor-dan Buerkle before Mont-

pelier rallied to take a 19-6 halftime advantage.

However, the visitors then added a pair of scores in the third quarter to ex-tend the margin to 32-6 be-fore the Archers would score again.

Schuette connected with Buerkle for Antwerp’s sec-ond score as well, this time a 58-yard scoring strike, to get the Archers within 32-12 entering the final period.

After Montpelier struck again to push the lead to 40-12, Schuette found Hunter

PAULDING - The 2019 edition of the Black Swamp Bowl had fans from both sides of the field on the edge of their seat but when the the scoreboard showed 00:00 it would be the Wayne Trace Raiders claiming the open-ing season win 28-27. The competitive game was in doubt throughout most of the contest. Paulding, trail-ing by one, decided to go for the win with 1:45 remaining. Going for a two-point con-version, Panther quarterback Payton Beckman’s pass at-tempt would not materialize and the Raiders escaped with the one-point win.

The Raiders opened the contest with a score on their first possession. Wayne Trace quarterback Trevor Speice guided the 65-yard drive, capping it off with a two-yard run past the end zone cones. A Speice to Alex Rinehart connection was successful on the two-point attempt and the Raiders established an early 8-0 lead.

A PAINFUL PROCESS

By: Doris ApplegateThe American farmer has

certainly come a long way in how they plant and harvest the crops. Tractors now have a “brain” that guides it and the farmer sits with t.v. and munches on snacks, putting on extra weight while watch-ing the process. Perhaps we will “out smart” ourselves with all of this technology. If farmers shorten their lives with over eating, lack of exer-cise and with no one to take

over (a lack of young farmers) many could go hungry.

Another tool that farm-ers use in “no till” taking the place of the “good ole plow”. The ground does not get loos-ened up, open and oxygenat-ed.

Hardening of the soil is like the hard heads we Chris-tians must guard against. Sometimes problems, tur-moil, confusion and chaos can cause us to wonder where God is and we lose hope. Our spiritual ground in being “plowed” by the Holy Spirit so that our lives will learn a vi-tal lesson from the chaos and bear much more fruit.

God allows our lives to be “turned over” because He has a very good purpose. He wants produce and abun-dance from us. Only “plowed” loosened soil will bring forth what God is looking for, so REJOICE in the process and yield to His leading. All will turn out just great. You will be better, stronger and wiser person after you see the won-derful results of a “plowed field”. Just think of those who will benefit from the fruits of your life.

This is our calling as a Christian; to bear much fruit so realize that it is a process and fruit does not develop overnight. Be patient and wait for it to “ripen”. No one enjoys a “sour” orange, a “green” strawberry, or a “hard” peach. We love fruit that is in it’s “prime” so the key is pa-tience. Our hard head is now softened and pliable by the “plowing” of our field. We can now understand and relate to

others and the pain they are going through, lend a helping hand an offer encouragement.

AMEN!

On Saturday, August 24 the Paulding County Dem-ocrats had their annual pic-nic dinner at the Grover Hill Welcome Park. The dinner at noon was shared potluck style with all of those in at-tendance. There were sever-al speakers after the dinner and Aiden Baker spoke on

the importance of getting out to vote to make sure that a Democrat is selected that can win against President Donald Trump.

The attendance was very good this year and the party expects to get more people on board consider the current economic climate.

The Village of Oakwood celebrated their annual Homecoming this Labor Day Weekend. There was much for the kids to do throughout the town along

with all that went on at the Parade on Monday morn-ing. The streets were lined up on this beautiful sunny morning. Overall the pa-rade lasted about 45 min-

utes and the kids’ bags were full of candy by the end. The Paulding Mighty Marching Band was there and did a great job!

OAKWOOD HOMECOMING 2019

The Oakwood Homecoming parade took place on September 2 with beautiful weather in the Paulding County Village of Oakwood. Shown here is the Fire and EMS in the line who serve the community every day. More pictures at westbendnews.net

DEMOCRATS MEET IN GROVER HILL

There was all kind of can-dy suckers, gum, and goodies flying through the air. Joe Barker of WMYW, 102.7 ran over and gave us a handful of everything on the dash be-hind the windshield.

The boss, Bryce Steiner, had all the parade on a video, it is so nice. We want to thank everybody for their help.

The Oakwood Homecom-ing, what a nice way to start a new month.

See ya on down the road!

Aiden Baker speaks at the Democrat Picnic at Grover Hill’s Welcome Park

the Raiders managed to put six more on the board when Speice found team mate Nate Showalter open for a 20-yard pass play to help stretch the visitors lead to 14-7. The ex-tra-point try was no good ,

With the one touchdown lead by the Raiders, the Pan-thers would not go away. Prior to intermission Beck-man would find the end zone from four-yards out to keep the Panthers close - trailing 14-13 at the break.

A scoreless third quarter for nearly 10 minutes, the maroon and white would take the lead for the first time. With 2:43 showing on the clock Beckman teamed-up with Caleb Manz for a five-yard score. Beckman was equally impressive with the extra-point attempt as the Panther signal caller connected with Riley Coil for two-points and the Panthers on top 21-14.

Entering the final 12 min-utes of play and trailing 21-14 the Raiders needed just a sin-gle play to light up the score board. Speice connected with senior Nate Gerber on a short five-yard strike capping off an eight-play, 69 yard drive. Inching closer and within a single point the Raiders would answer again with the extra point. What worked for the touchdown would also work for the two-point con-version when Speice threw to Gerber for the go-ahead play and the Raiders were back on top 22-21.

After a stalled Panther drive the Raiders would take advantage and would cover 60 yards needing just six snaps of the ball. Wayne Trace put six more on the board when Speice rifled a 16-yard toss to Reinhart for the 28-21 lead with just over seven minutes remaining and setting up the final Pan-ther score.

Wayne Trace stats: First downs 17; Rushing yards 104; Passing yards 239; To-tal yards 343; Passing 19-

29; Intercepted 3; Fumbles 2. Rushing leader Kameron Bevis 7 carries for 71 yards. Passing leader Trevor Speice 19-29 for 239 yards. Receiv-ing leader Owen Manz 5 catches for 122 yards.

Paulding stats: First downs 13; Rushing yards 173; Passing yards 86; Total yards 259; Passing 8-9; Inter-cepted 0; Fumbles 2. Rushing leader Fernando Garcia 26 carries for 164 yards; Passing leader Payton Beckman 8-9 for 86 yards; Receiving lead-er Caleb Manz 2 catches for 39 yards.

This is the 9th consecutive year the Raiders have earned the Black Swamp Trophy.

This Friday: Wayne Trace will travel to Patrick Hen-ry while Paulding will be at home to entertain the Far-view Apaches.

The Antwerp Archer Football sports complex just got received a major, much needed, upgrade. Prior to

this year there were en-trances on both the home and guest sides for people to enter in. Now the entrance

ANTWERP SPORTS COMPLEX READY FOR BUSINESS!

The new entrance at Antwerp is ready for business!

The original concept drawing by Superintendent Dr. Marty Miller, looks very similar to what was actually made.

has been redesigned on the south side at Waterplant Drive. The classic architec-tural style was envisioned by Superintendent Marty Mill-er as he dreamt of a grand entry in to the Antwerp Local Schools campus with the flags of the competing schools in the Green Mead-ows Conference circling the walking paths and gardens.

The first game of the year was on August 30 for Ant-werp and Montpelier chris-tening the new season. The entrance area contains the centrally located restrooms and the concessions and dining areas. If you didn’t get a chance to see it Fri-day evening, stop and have a look during the week! It’s quite the new facility!

Over 50 student athletes, cheerleaders, color guard, and band members from all 13 associate schools were recognized recently on Fall

Sports Spirit Day. Vantage students gain advanced skills and training, graduating with an industry recognized cre-dential, while maintaining

an active home school con-nection in sports and other activities. Wishing all of our student athletes a successful fall sports season!

LOCAL FAIRS BENEFIT FROM NWEC HOT AIR BALLOON APPEARANCES

BRYAN, OH — The Touchstone Energy® hot air balloon could be seen float-

ing in the sky and glowing at dusk as it participated in local balloon festivals this summer. Though inclement weather prevented the bal-

loon from leaving the ground at the Montpelier Bean Days Balloon Festival in July, the balloon, sponsored by North Western Electric Cooperative (NWEC), did take flight, pro-vided tethered rides and par-ticipated in the glow at dusk during the Defiance County Hot Air Balloon Festival on August 3.

As a result of the balloon’s appearance at the festivals, NWEC presented donations in the amount of $1,020 to both the Williams County Agricultural Society and De-fiance County Agricultural Society. The donations repre-sent North Western Electric’s commitment to the commu-nities it serves and the co-op’s

desire to empower its mem-bers’ quality of life.

The balloon was intro-duced back in 2000 by Touch-

stone Energy® as a goodwill ambassador for Touchstone Energy Cooperatives across the country. The brand’s identity and core values — integrity, accountability, in-novation and commitment to community — are promoted through the balloon and its professional team wherever and whenever the balloon is flying nationwide.

The Touchstone Energy balloon is a highly visible ex-ample of co-op spirit and sup-port at local civic and philan-

thropic events. Every day that the balloon participates in an event on behalf of the local sponsoring Touchstone En-

ergy cooperative, a monetary contribution is made to a lo-cal charity of their choice.

Touchstone Energy Coop-eratives are a national alliance of local, consumer-owned electric utilities across the country committed to pro-viding high standards of ser-vice to customers large and small. More than 750 Touch-stone Energy Cooperatives in 46 states are delivering energy and energy solutions to about 32 million consumer-mem-bers every day.

Mrs. Susan Jewell, com-puter science teacher at An-twerp High School, was one of 100 teachers from across the country who was select-ed to attend the 2019 AP Computer Science A Teach-er Summit this summer. This meeting was hosted by Facebook at their head-quarters in Menlo Park, California from August 4th through the 6th.

The purpose of the meeting was to connect AP Computer Science A (CSA) teachers from across the country and provide them with information to strengthen their instruction and recruitment efforts, as well as share insights from the technology industry. Jewell and other teachers in attendance heard from university professors, CSA teachers, Facebook staff, and College Board staff. They also toured part of Facebook Headquarters.

VANTAGE TEACHER RE-CEIVES MATHEMATICS AWARD!

Each year, the Ohio Coun-cil of Teachers of Mathemat-ics recognizes outstanding teachers, professors, emerg-ing leaders and friends of mathematics. Teachers can be nominated by a colleague, administrator, student or par-ent. Once nominated teach-ers submit an application. Then, an outstanding elemen-tary, middle and high school teacher is selected from each of the eight districts based on their philosophy on how students learn mathematics, their participation in profes-sional development and or-ganizations, as well as their leadership roles. After receiv-ing a district award, teachers are eligible to apply for a state teaching award.

Vantage Career Center is pleased to announce that Math Teacher, Mrs. Kelly Horstman, has received the

2019 Ohio Council Teach-ers of Mathematics (OCTM) Northwest District Outstand-ing Teacher Award.

Vantage Director Mike Knott shares that, “Kelly was nominated because she con-sistently uses best practices in her classroom for both pedagogy and classroom management. She is a leader in our academic department. She models the use of relevant technology and always tries to relate her math curriculum to career applications. She has been a leader in the use of the Desmos online graphing calculators and the associat-ed Activity Builder. This has been important to our stu-dents, as Desmos is the built-in calculator used by the State End of Course Tests. Her ex-pertise has led her to present at both local and state wide conferences to share these best practices with other ed-ucators.”

This year more than 120 amazing classroom teachers were nominated for the Ohio Council of Teachers of Math-ematics Teacher Awards. Through our rigorous selec-tion process, 21 teachers were chosen for the district awards and 6 were selected for the state awards. The award win-ners will be honored at the annual OCTM Conference in Sandusky, OH during the banquet on Thursday, Octo-ber 24, 2019. Congratulations, Mrs. Kelly Horstman!

LAST ANTWERP CHAMBER’S GRAB YOUR NEIGHBOR FOR 2019

The Dog Days of Sum-mer are upon us. Come out with the Antwerp Chamber of Commerce and Grab your neighbor and explore your downtown on September 9th.

This will be our last Grab Your Neighbor event for 2019. We hope you have enjoyed the evenings strolling through the downtown. We enjoyed visiting with you and opening up our shops to you.

We thought we would say good bye to summer by cele-brating the Dog Days of Sum-mer with our very own 2nd annual Antwerp’s dog show.

Categories will be simple: Big dogs (over 30 pounds) and little dogs (30 pounds and under). All breeds are in-vited to participate. Dogs will be judged against “dog stan-dards”: Most appealing eyes, waggiest tail, dog the judge would most like to take home, best paw shake, and dog that looks most like their owner. We do have to limit our furry friends to 8 pups in each cat-egory.

“Best in show” will be re-warded. The winning dog will become Antwerp’s “top dog” for the next year. His/her reign will begin with a tour of the town, followed by an appearance and interview on Facebook.

Judging will begin at 6:30 in front of Dr. Mowery’s of-fice. To register your pup for the dog show, please send an email to [email protected] with your dog’s

name and weight or bring your dog up before 6:15 that day so we have time to get him/her entered. Remember we are taking only 8 large pups and 8 small pups. Entry fee will be an item (or mon-ey) that will be given to the Paulding County Dog Ken-nel.

ANTWERP COMMUNI-TY- PAYS IT FORWARD! In addition to the dog show we will also be taking up dona-tions for our local food pan-try. Please bring a nonperish-able food item and enter to win $15 worth of Chamber bucks to be used at any Ant-werp business. Table will be set up in front of Hometown pantry to collect your items.

Several of our businesses will continue to be open that evening for your shopping pleasure. We encourage you to stop in and check out any summer items that will be on sale.

OHIO STATE SEEKS TRUST-EE APPROVAL ON INTER-DISCIPLINARY HEALTH SCIENCES CENTER

The Ohio State Universi-

ty is taking the next step on a proposed Interdisciplinary Health Sciences Center that will blend innovative technol-ogy and hands-on learning in conjunction with the univer-sity’s strategic plan.

Ohio State will seek ap-proval for the $155.9 million health sciences center during next week’s Board of Trust-ees meeting. Funding sourc-es are to be determined. The project is poised to benefit colleges, including medicine, dentistry, nursing, optome-try, pharmacy, public health and veterinary medicine, and strengthen the interdisciplin-ary curriculum of Ohio State.

“A healthier future de-mands health care leaders who are prepared to work together to address health challenges,” said Bruce A. McPheron, Ohio State’s exec-utive vice president and pro-vost. “Ohio State’s new health sciences education building is the place where students will become those leaders.”

The multiphase project advances Framework 2.0, the university’s long-term planning vision. It includes a 150,000-square-foot ren-ovation of Hamilton Hall and construction of a new 100,000-square-foot building featuring flexible facilities to serve multiple disciplines. Program space will include:

33 interdisciplinary, state-of-the-art classrooms, each with new teaching technol-ogy, including virtual real-ity and enhanced anatomy and surgical practice labs; 6,000-square-foot infor-mal learning space; 125-seat grand reading room

The Interdisciplinary Health Sciences Center will focus on inclusive work envi-ronments to create:

Spaces for students in the health sciences to convene conversations and build team approaches to health care - a way to quickly assess patients’ needs and work with the right colleagues to design the best care plans for each individual.

Opportunities for stu-dents to be at the forefront of innovation through mod-ern technology - whether by using realistic virtual reality models to simulate patient care or learning how vid-eo chats, texting and other emerging “telehealth” inno-vations can help health care providers and patients stay in regular communication be-tween in-person office visits.

Warm and welcoming

environments that support Ohio State’s work to build diverse communities of med-ical students. Research has shown that diversity in med-icine - including increasing representation of women and people of color - leads to bet-ter health outcomes.

Design for the new Inter-disciplinary Health Sciences Center began in August 2018. Pending board approval, construction could begin in October 2019, with comple-tion targeted for late summer 2023.

Progress continues on a separate Health Sciences Faculty Office and Optom-etry Clinic at 11th and Neil avenues. The 106,000-square-foot building will be home to optometry clinics, retail spaces and faculty offices. The $35.9 million project is 60% of the way through steel work and targeting an October 2020 opening.
