year with an unblemished 50-0 record.
Wayne Trace head coach George Clemens couldnt have been prouder of his
top wrestler and son for his accomplishments.
Words cannot describe the emotions
I felt and still feel, commented the elder Clemens Sunday afternoon when
contacted at home. Having George
become the first state champion in wrestling from Wayne Trace is something
to be very proud of. Then, also to be
the first state champion from Paulding
County is another accomplishment as
well. I am just so proud of him.
Clemens concluded his Raider career
with an overall record of 187-15. He
was 46-3 as a freshman before following that up with a 47-5 record as a sophomore. A year ago, he finished 44-7 and

leading to the arrest of a local man wanted
for murder.
Authorities are searching for Frank Tracy Jr., 47, who is suspected of killing his
21-year-old girlfriend, Hannah Fischer, in

U.S. Marshal Chris Hodge, whose office
is located in Toledo, said he reached out to
Paulding County Sheriffs Office and Paulding Police Department on Monday, Feb. 29

BROUGHTON Its just a
nice community where everyone gets along. When someone
needs help, they know they
have a neighbor who will offer
a hand, said Broughton Mayor
Donna Greear, as she describes
the village she calls home.
Greear was elected mayor
back in November 2015 and
looks forward to serving the
small village of Broughton
where shes lived her entire life.
Simply put, Greear said when
describing why she wanted to be
mayor, Im from here, everyone knows everyone and takes
care of everyone and I wanted
to help continue the process of
developing the character of this
great town.
Since January, when Greear
officially began her initial fouryear term, she admits seeing a
community that has no huge
issues, but at the same time she
knows that her office, as well
as the six member council, will
work together to provide the
leadership necessary to keep
Broughton the kind of community of which everyone can be
proud.

one he was going to win the

While Clemens was claiming the state title, Wayne Trace
also was well represented by
another member of its squad.
Junior Ruger Goeltzenleuchter wrapped up a fifth place
finish by defeating Massillon
Tuslaws Isaac Elliott 11-9 in
the 120 pound weight class.
Ruger worked extremely
hard as well this year, commented the Raider head coach.
Like George, Ruger put in a
lot of extra time last summer
and has worked very, very
hard.
Both Ruger and George
took part in the Disney Duals
as part of a team that consisted
of a lot of Delta kids last summer, added the elder Clemens.
It was a very special experience for both of them. They
both got a tremendous amount
of experience taking part in a
lot of extra matches in the offseason.
Both Clemens and Goeltzenleuchter won their opening

PAU LD I N G PRO G R E SS
Dear Editor:
Conservatives or conservative
thinkers ... This letter is addressed to you.
How important to you are
these values? Are they important
enough to you that you would
refuse to compromise or deny
them? I ask everyone to consider the preposition that when
we have values that are rooted
in substance, we should never
compromise them. Many conservatives are also Christians, and
it says in the Scriptures that, as
a man thinketh in his heart, so is
he. Thus our values define us,
and should never be indiscriminately compromised.
What is all this about? It is
about our vote in the Primary
Election on March 15. We have
several options to choose from;
and there is a broad spectrum of
candidate policies and positions.
As voters, we need to determine how their views and policies truly align with our own.
Many people seem to be
rallying around Donald Trump,
and these folks term themselves
conservatives and evangelical
Christians. But their support for
him seems inconsistent with the
long held and Biblically basis
positions of conservatives and
Christians. Such beliefs are prolife, marriage between a man and
a woman, anti-deception, pro
compassion and graciousness.
In addition to these inconsistencies, Trump holds political
views that are at odds with our
typical principles. Trump has all
but endorsed the single-payer
health insurance system; and
says that his solution to the
healthcare dilemma consists of
simply removing the state borders for insurance sales purposes.
This will help, but it will come
nowhere close to solving the
problem; and he knows that, but
do we?
He has said that Planned Parenthood has done tremendous
good for women ... Outside of
providing them with abortions,
I would like to know what that
is. They simply do not provide
many of the technical services
they purport to provide. He
would do nothing to actually
reign in abortion in this nation.
That may not matter to us, but
I will go on the limb and say it
matters to God. Is that our kind
of society?
Other political issues we believe in are smaller constitutional
government; responsible spending; balanced budgets; fair taxation; less regulation. Trump has
said nothing concrete on these
issues.
And concerning protection of
religious liberty, I do not think
Trump would lift a single finger
to offer any effort to stem the
anti-Christian tide that is sweeping our culture, where people
have bought the lie that the First
Amendment is not Freedom
of Religion, but Freedom from
Religion. Trump would be of no
consequence there. If not there,
would he support other Bill of
Rights freedoms? It seems his
support would be in doubt.
Enough negatives. The positive in all of this, is that we
do have a candidate who has
indeed gone on the line time
and time again for these values.
And his name is Ted Cruz. He
has litigated before the Supreme
Court nine times and won in
multiple Bill of Rights issues. He
has written numerous briefs for
that court. We 2nd Amendment
believers have our freedom of
firearms now because Ted Cruz
dared to stand before Obamas
panels and testify about the fallacy of those programs. We, who
cherish freedom above fortune,
owe Ted Cruz a debt of appreciation.
Since Ohio has become a
winner-take-all state this election
cycle, we dare not waste our
vote on any candidate who has
no chance of winning if we feel
Donald Trump does not truly
represent our values while someone else does. This is especially
true if that person has a chance to
surpass him in the Primary, and a
better chance of winning in November. I believe Ted Cruz has
to be our choice. Please consider.

Burkley is proven
conservative
for state rep
Dear Editor,
With the liberal media painting a harsh perspective of the
conservative movement, many
have no idea what it means to
be a conservative anymore.
Fortunately, in the race for state
representative, we have a candidate who is a true conservative, and thats Tony Burkley.
We need a leader who has a
strong record of protecting our
faith and family while defending our 2nd Amendment rights
and tightening the purse strings
of government.
As a small business owner,
Burkley knows firsthand what
impact an overreaching government has on the private sector. As a member of the Ohio
House, Burkley helped balance
our states budget without raising taxes. He is also working
with his colleagues to address
the CAUV issue facing the
farming community.
When leading conservative
organizations looked for the
right candidate in this race,
they turned to Tony Burkley.
Since announcing his run for
re-election, Ohio Right to Life,
NRA, Ohio Chamber of Commerce, and NFIB have thrown
their support behind him due
to his record of results in the
legislature. Tony Burkley has
stood for the de-funding of
Planned Parenthood and has
taken steps toward addressing
the crippling drug epidemic
facing our communities.
As we head to vote this
March 15, lets remember
what is at stake this election
cycle. Tony Burkley is the
best candidate for state representative and I urge the
citizens of the 82nd House
District to vote for him.

Dear Editor,
Like most people, Im fed up
with all the negative political
attack ads, and one specific
race not only makes me mad,
but its clearly untruthful. Its
the ad attacking Tony Burkley
for state representative.
Larry and I first met Tony
and his wife Nancy when they
began attending our church
here in Van Wert over 20 years
ago. We were drawn to them as
a couple, and through the years
we have done many, many
things with them. We know the
Burkleys. We know and believe
in Tony so much that when he
first ran for state representative,
we along with our kids helped
him with his campaign by passing out his pamphlet in parades
around our county, going door
to door in Van Wert and a few
surrounding towns, and placing
signs in yards.
Tony is a Christian man of
integrity who owns his own
business in Paulding. Being a
business owner means he understands the risks and responsibilities that come with owning your own business which
is why he works so hard for
small businesses and farmers ...
he understands their everyday
concerns. Tony has been able
to grow and expand his own
business several times
because of his conservative
fiscal management, and he promotes legislation that reflects
his conservatism.
A false point made in this
TV/radio ad is that Tony voted
to give himself a raise. The
fact is the legislature voted to
give LOCAL elected officials a
raise. They did not take a raise
themselves.
And, I dont consider Tony a
Writers support
retaining Burkley
Dear Editor,
We are writing in support
of incumbent State Representative Tony Burkley.
Tony brings an excellent
blend of experience to Columbus on behalf of northwest Ohio. He is a small
businessman (NAPA True
Value in downtown Paulding), active in Kiwanis and
his church. He served several
terms as a Paulding County
commissioner, making him
acutely aware of how actions
in Columbus affect local government.
We count Tonys experience as a definite plus, and
encourage you to support
Tony Burkleys re-election for
state representative in the Primary Election on March 15.

By Mike DeWine
Ohio Attorney General
Unintentional drug overdoses claimed the lives of 2,482
Ohioans in 2014. Thats nearly four deaths every day, and an
alarming jump more than 17 percent over 2013s drug-induced fatalities.
Heroin infests every county in Ohio. No city, town, or village urban or rural escapes its clutches. In fact, Ohio is
mired in the worst drug epidemic I have witnessed in my lifetime. In my travels around the state I hear stories from Ohioans whose lives heroin has turned upside-down. Their stories
have made me determined to sound the alarm and do whatever
I can to prevent other Ohioans from experiencing their pain.
But no government office, whether federal, state or local,
can single-handedly solve the heroin problem. We cant arrest
or convict our way out of it. We can, however, attack the heroin problem holistically and seek solutions collaboratively.
But some obstacles arent easy to overcome.
For example, the psychological barrier the hesitation
even habitual drug consumers had about putting that stuff in
their veins has all but disappeared. Likewise, families may
ignore drug abuse in their own homes, fearing what the CBS
60 Minutes segment Heroin in the Heartland called the
stigma and shame compounding the epidemic.
That cautionary psychological barrier must be rebuilt. And
families whose loved ones struggle with addiction must be
encouraged to seek assistance.
Also, the drug cartels changed their business model and
moved the market for heroin into the suburbs and small towns.
Send the right text or make the right phone call and a dose of
heroin can be delivered to your doorstep as conveniently, and
for about the same price, as a deluxe pizza.
My office has taken actions to reduce the number of lives lost,
families devastated, and communities diminished as a result
of the damage heroin inflicts on our state.
In 2013 we combined some assets and created the AGO
Heroin Unit to pursue opiate traffickers and support community leaders, law enforcement and schools in their battles with
the heroin epidemic. During the 2015 fiscal year, we prosecuted more than 150 heroin-related cases.
Our Community Outreach Team has worked with community leaders in nearly every Ohio county. As part of the Taking
Back Our Communities: Combatting the Opiate Epidemic
conferences the team conducts around the state, theyre helping those leaders craft strategies and solutions.
Peace officers may now carry and administer Naloxone, an
antidote that reverses an opioid overdose. To help defray the
cost and make Naloxone more accessible, my office negotiated with the drugs manufacturer Amphastar Pharmaceuticals
Inc. who agreed to provide rebates for Naloxone syringes
bought by non-federal Ohio agencies. Last year, we distributed $91,272 in rebates to communities throughout Ohio.
Weve also responded to Ohios heroin epidemic outside the
conventional box. For example:
My office produced Marins Story: The Battle Against
Heroin, a powerful video about one young womans struggle
with heroin addiction. So far the video has reached some 10
million viewers on social media.
Through a pilot project were funding in northwest Ohio,
my office partnered with law enforcement and victim advocates in Lucas County to establish an innovative Drug Abuse
Response Team.
The 60 Minutes segment I mentioned earlier also highlighted the work of our Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
In January we convened an emergency summit where
hundreds of community, law enforcement, and public safety
representatives from all over the state learned about new and
successful ideas for fighting the heroin epidemic.
We supported CVS Pharmacies and Kroger when representatives of each retail chain announced their Ohio stores
will sell Naloxone on an over-the-counter basis, making the
antidote even more widely available to save Ohio lives.
Well continue to look for ways we can alert Ohioans about
and engage them in this battle.
Were stronger together than we are on or own. By sharing
ideas and building on each others strengths we can diminish
and ultimately defeat Ohios heroin epidemic.

If you dont mind slow trips,

in 80 days. But it takes almost
no time to become a global
investor. So, should you look
abroad for good investments?
Paulding Wind Farm III LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of EDP Renewables North America, LLC, is proposing to construct the Timber Road III
Transmission Line with associated point of interconnect (POI) switchyard in Paulding County. The proposed facility will consist of a new 138
kV transmission line and a new POI switchyard which will be used to
deliver power generated by the Timber Road I Wind Farm and the Timber Road III Wind Farm to the regional power grid. The Timber Road
III Wind Farm collection substation will be located along Road 124 just
west of the intersection with Road 33 in Harrison Township. The Timber
Road III transmission line will run south from the collection substation to
the existing 138 kV Lincoln-Sterling Circuit where the proposed Timber
Road III POI switchyard will be constructed. A preferred route and an
alternate route have been identified for the proposed transmission line.
The primary purpose of the facility is to deliver electricity generated by
the Timber Road I Wind Farm and the Timber Road III Wind Farm
from the collector substation to the Timber Road III Wind Farm to the
proposed Timber Road III POI switchyard to be located adjacent to the
existing American Electric Power 138 kV Lincoln-Sterling circuit.
The preferred transmission line route will traverse approximately 8.5
miles of land in Harrison and Benton Townships, connecting the wind
farm collection substation and the Timber Road III POI switchyard. The
alternate transmission line traverses approximately 11.6 miles of land in
Harrison and Benton Townships, connecting the wind farm collection
Proposed layout of the facility.
substation and the Timber Road III POI switchyard. The POI switchyard
is proposed to be on approximately 2.1 acres in an area enclosed by a
chain link fence and will be located on the south side of State Route 114 in Benton Township, just east of the intersection with Twp.
Road 27, immediately west of the existing Timber Road II POI switchyard.
Paulding County Commissioners Klopfenstein, Zartman and Holtsberry as well as the Paulding County Economic Development,
Inc., 101 E. Perry St., Paulding, OH 45879 have received a copy of the accepted, complete application in accordance with the Ohio
Power Siting Board rules. A copy of the accepted, complete application was also sent to the Benton Township Trustees (Crosby, Noggle and Thome) and the Harrison Township Trustees Benschneider, Stabler and Olwin. A copy of the application was also served on
the following libraries: the Paulding County Carnegie Library, 205 S. Main St., Paulding, OH 45879; the Antwerp Branch at 205 N.
Madison St., Antwerp, OH 45813; and the Payne Branch located at 101 N. Main St., Payne, OH 45880. A copy is also available for
inspection at the offices of the Ohio Power Siting Board, Docketing Division, 180 E. Broad St., 11th Floor, Columbus, OH 43215 and
is also available for inspection online at http://www.opsb.ohio.gov/opsb/.
Paulding Wind Farm III LLC has filed with the Ohio Power Siting Board an application for a certificate to construct, operate and
maintain the Timber Road III electric transmission line and associated POI switchyard in Case No. 15-1737-EL-BTX, which is now
pending before the Board.
The following eight criteria are set forth in section 4906.10(A) of the Revised Code and used by the Board in reviewing an application
for a certificate to construct, operate and maintain such a facility:
1. The basis of the need for a facility if the facility is an electric transmission line or a natural gas transmission line;
2. The nature of the probable environmental impact;
3. That the facility represents the minimum adverse environmental impact, considering the state of available technology and
the nature and economics of the various alternatives and other pertinent considerations;
4. In the case of an electric transmission line or generating facility, that the facility is consistent with the regional plans for expansion of the electric power grid of the electric systems serving this state and interconnected utility systems and the facility
will serve the interests of electric system economy and reliability;
5. That the facility will comply with Chapters 3704, 3734, and 6111 of the Revised Code and all rules and standards adopted
under those chapters and under sections 1501.33, 1501.34, and 4561.32 of the Revised Code. In determining whether the
facility will comply with all rules and standards adopted under section 4561.32 of the Revised Code, the Board shall consult
with the Offices of Aviation of the Division of Multi-Modal Planning and Programs of the Department of Transportation
and section 4561.341(4561.134.1) of the Revised Code.
6. That the facility will serve the public interest, convenience and necessity;
7. In addition to the provisions contained in divisions (A)(1) to (6) of this section and rules adopted under those divisions,
what its impact will be on the viability as agricultural land of any land in an existing and agricultural district established
under Chapter 929 of the Revised Code that is located within the site and alternative site of the proposed major utility
facility. Rules adopted to evaluate impact under division (A)(7) of this section shall not require the compilation, creation,
submission or production of any information, document or other data pertaining to land not located within the site and
alternative site.
8. That the facility incorporates maximum feasible water conservation practices as determined by the Board, considering
available technology and the nature in economics of the various alternatives.
Section 4906.07 of the Revised Code provides:
(A) Upon the receipt of an application complying with section 4906.06 of the Revised Code, the Power Siting Board shall
promptly fix a date for a public hearing thereon, not less than sixty nor more than ninety days after such receipt and shall
conclude the proceeding as expeditiously as practicable.
(B) On an application for an amendment of a certificate the Board shall hold a hearing in the same manner as hearing being
held on an application for certificate if the proposed change in the facility would result in a material increase in any environmental impact of the facility or a substantial change in the location of all or a portion of such facility other than as provided
in the alternatives set forth in the application.
(C) The chairman of the Power Siting Board shall cause such application filed with the Board to be investigated and shall, not
less fifteen days prior to the date of any application is set forth hearing, submit a written report to the Board and to the
applicant. A copy of such report shall be made available to any person upon request. Such report shall set forth the nature
of the investigation, and shall contain recommended findings with regard to division (A) of section 4906.10 of the Revised
Code and shall become a part of the record and served upon all parties in the proceeding. The public hearing shall consist
of two parts:
(a) a local public hearing, pursuant to Section 4906.08(C), Revised Code, where the Board shall accept written or oral
testimony from any person commencing on April 21, 2016 at 6:00 p.m., at Wayne Trace Junior-Senior High School,
4915 U.S. 127, Haviland, Ohio 45851; and
(b) an adjudicatory hearing commencing on April 28, 2016 at 10:00 a.m., at the offices of the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, 180 E. Broad St., 11th Floor, Hearing Room 11-D, Columbus, OH 43215-3793.
Section 4906.08(C) of the Revised Code provides that the Board shall accept written or oral testimony from any person at the
public hearing, but the right to call and examine witnesses shall be reserved for parties. However, the Board may adopt rules
to exclude repetitive, immaterial or irrelevant testimony.
Petitions to intervene in the adjudicatory hearing will be accepted by the Board up to 30 days following publication of the notice
required by Rule 4906-5-08(C)(1), O.A.C., or by April 4, 2016, whichever is later. However, the Board strongly encourages
interested persons who wish to intervene in the adjudicatory hearing to file their petitions as soon as possible. Petitions
should be addressed to the Ohio Power Siting Board, 180 E. Broad St., Columbus, OH 43215-3793, and site the above-listed
case number.
The above map shows a proposed layout of the facility.
nificant benefits:
Growth potential U.S.
stocks have achieved good
returns for long stretches of
time. Yet in any given year,
markets in other countries can
outperform those in the United
States. By looking beyond our
borders, you can invest in regions with different prospects
for economic growth. For example, in mature economies,
such as those found in Western Europe, you can find investment possibilities in companies that produce high-quality, well-known products. Like
many of the best American
businesses, these foreign companies are likely to remain
competitive far into the future
which means they can be attractive to serious, long-term
investors.
Diversification If you
only own domestic investments, and the U.S. financial
markets suffered a downturn,
your portfolio would likely
take a big hit. But if you spread
your dollars between both U.S.
and international investments,
you could lessen the impact of
the U.S.-based volatility. The
U.S. financial markets do not
always move in tandem with
global markets, so when were
down, they might be up. (Keep
in mind, though, that diversification by itself cant guarantee
profit or prevent losses.)
While investing internationally offers some advantages,
it also carries some specific
risks. Here are a few to consider:

Zika virus: Outbreaks in Ohio unlikely, public offered advice
By Sarah Noggle
OSU Extension Educator,
Agriculture and Natural
Resources
Paulding County
Zika virus has been an emerging story in the news for the past
several weeks. As with any new
disease, anxiety and fears of the
unknown are common. One of
the roles of the Ohio State University Extension is to provide the
latest research on issues that may
be a concern for Ohioans. The
following article on the Zika virus has been adapted from information from Dr. Pete Permarini,
veterinarian entomologist, OSU
Department of Entomology.
At this time, it is known that
the Zika virus is transmitted
to humans by a certain type of
mosquito. This particular type
of mosquito has to feed on a host
that has the virus before it can
transfer the virus to another human. The yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti, is the specific
mosquito that can carry the Zika
virus.
It is also responsible for
spreading the viruses that cause
ruses.
These steps would include
the use of insect repellants, wear
long sleeves and long pants, and
eliminate potential mosquito
breeding grounds near residences. Keep gutters and downspout
clean of debris, changing the
water in bird baths, outside pet
water bowls, rain barrels, and
draining water from tires stored
outside are all mosquito breeding sites.
Even though the Zika virus is
not a concern in Ohio this year, it
would still be a good idea during
spring cleaning activities to fix
window and door screens and
remove items that may allow
water to collect for mosquito
breeding.
For additional information on
the Zika virus, visit www.odh.
ohio.gov/zika or contact Sarah
Noggle, Paulding County Extension Educator Agriculture

Steve Colley, Paulding-Putnam Electric Co-op, met with the commissioners
to introduce the Honor Flight program.
The program allows for US veterans
to visit Washington, D.C. and its war
memorials for a day. The employees of
Paulding-Putnam Electric Co-op have
decided to work towards sponsoring an
Honor Flight.
Honor Flights fly from the Fort
Wayne International Airport directly to
Washington, D.C. The flight is free to
US veterans. Each veteran must have
a guardian to accompany them on
their flight. Guardians pay for themselves. Upon the flights return to Fort
Waynes airport, the veterans enjoy
being welcomed back by family, friends
and neighbors.

Spencerville ends Raider season at district semi
By KEVIN WANNEMACHER
Sportswriter
LIMA Four seniors saw their careers
come to a close on Thursday evening as
the Wayne Trace boys basketball team
fell to Spencerville 64-53 in Division III
district semifinal action at Lima Senior
High School.
The quartet helped lead the Raiders to
an 85-17 record over the past four seasons (.833 winning percentage) as well
as four Green Meadows Conference
championships, three sectional championships, two district championship, one
regional championship and a final four
berth their junior year.
It is a group that has a lot to be proud
of despite the disappointing ending last
Thursday.
What a great group of seniors, commented the Raider mentor. They have
played in regionals two years, a district
tournament and at state. They have just
been a tremendous group to work with
and are great kids.
Shepherd totaled 18 points and four
rebounds, hitting 9 of 11 shots from the
field. Vest chipped in eight points while
also recording two rebounds and one
assist. Miller added seven markers and
added five assists, two steals and two rebounds. Speice pitched in two points and
a rebound for the Raiders, who close the
season at 17-8.
In Thursdays game, Wayne Trace was
just unable to get enough defensive stops
again.
With fifth place in the balance, the
Raider junior dug down a little deeper
and defeated Elliott 11-9 to garner a
top five finish.
Standing under the dark sky after
the long journey back from Columbus, Ruger walked among the gathered crowd receiving congratulatory
remarks. The soft spoken Goeltzenleuchter, wearing a dark blue hoodie was appreciative to all those who
came out to the mini-celebration.
It was a tough three days. When
I dropped the match to Elliott, I was
really upset with myself. I wasnt very
happy with the way I came out and
wrestled. So, having another opportunity to wrestle him turned out really
well for me, he said.
With the wrestling season now over
Ruger Goeltzenleuchter stays in control of his match with Isaac Elliott. The 11-9 win secured a
fifth place finish for the Wayne Trace junior in the 120 pound weight class.
George Clemens attempts to wrestle Damian DEmillo to the mat in his championship match.
Clemens successfully defeated his opponent from Genoa 2-1 to win the state title at 126.

Spotlight on Antwerp
United Methodist Church
By JOE SHOUSE
Progress Staff Writer
ANTWERP Established
in the mid 1840s the Antwerp
United Methodist Church continues to have a presence and a
purpose in the community it has
called home for some 175 years.
Lead pastor, Mike Schneider
has served the Paulding County
church for nearly 11 years while
being in pastoral ministry for 23
years.
This is my fourth appointment
and when I first came to Antwerp
I thought it was a mistake. I came
kicking and screaming thinking
this was not the place for me.
However, after being here over
ten years, I love the community,
its people and the church, confessed Schneider.

Currently the church is actively involved in several projects according to Pastor Schneider. On March 19, the church
will host a Mom-2-Mom Sale
from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. A fundraiser
for church camp, the idea is for
moms to set up booths in order
to sell items that appeal to other
moms. Admission is just a dollar
and will also include a bake sale.
This is an opportunity for
moms to pick up items at a good
price. Its a win-win situation
for everyone, said Schneider.
During Easter week the
church will have a 10 a.m. service on Palm Sunday followed
