On Tuesday, September 24th, four Paulding FFA officers traveled down to Columbus for
the Ohio Legislative Leadership Conference. The officers included Secretary Brooklyn Schlatter,
Reporter Addy Hunt, Student Advisor Blake Rhonehouse, Parliamentarian Johnny Lipps and
their FFA advisor, Mrs. Staci Miller. In the morning, these students got to mingle with other FFA
chapters by playing a game with half of the kids being part of a district and the other half were
lobbyists. After the game was over everyone got to explore the State House, where they met
with an aide from Representative Roy Klopfenstein’s office to learn more about his office and
Ohio’s government. Right before lunch the students got to hear from Todd Thatcher, Director of
Legislative affairs for ODA. The chapters were then served lunch and got to meet State FFA
officers, and various state representatives. After lunch, members got to listen to Representative
Don Jones, who is state representative for Ohio’s 95th district, talk about his time in FFA and
how it has helped him where he is now. Then everyone got to hear the FFA State President,
Anna Moeller talk about her experience in FFA. All of the officers agreed that they learned how
important our legislators are to the state of Ohio and what a great experience the Ohio
Legislative Leadership Conference was.

Over the weekend, on September 28th, 7 members from the Paulding FFA chapter attended the
September trap shoot at The Paulding Fish and Game Club. This was the first trap shoot that
we have done this year. The members went through the safety precautions with a fish and
game member before the competition to ensure that everyone had a safe and fun day hitting
clay pigeons. The members competed in two rounds where they had five different positions to
shoot from. The members were placed 16 yards away from the electric clay pigeon thrower. The
first round was practice but the second round is what determined the winner of the day. The
winner was Matthew Bail and he received a plaque for his trapshooting skills. Mackenzie
Leatherman placed a close 2nd in the competition. We had several new members participating
in the trap shoot. We have our second trap shoot scheduled for October 12th at 11:30am. We
would like to thank the Fish and Game Club of Paulding for all their help and support of the
Paulding FFA program.
