AWAITING THE PASSENGERS ... The new locomotive playset, one of many new playsets installed at Storrer Park await use by its young passengers. By Jennifer Manlove THE VILLAGE REPORTER Over the weekend you may have seen some new additions to the playground at Storrer Park located at 300 South Platt Street. The second phase was completed over the weekend. This addition includes a see saw, and tilted sky runner, and a train climber. Residents were asked to stay off of the new equipment until Monday afternoon so that the concrete had time to set. Once the orange fencing is removed, residents can enjoy the new equipment. There are also three new benches around the playground. The benches are a part of an Eagle Scout Project by Jared Rediger. The first phase was completed in May thanks to the Montpelier Eagles and their generous donations of $33,252.95. This donation completely paid for phase one of the project. As more donations were received the second phase was able to be completed. The second was paid for by Montpelier Civic League whose donation for $13,534.55 paid for the Playtime Junction Train, Montpelier Fraternal Order of Eagles made a donation of $2,515.97, Athena Study Club made a $1000.00 donation, Walmart made a $250.00 donation, and a $5,000 donation came from the Montpelier Parks & Recreation fund to complete the second phase of the project for a total cost of $22,300.52. Both phase one and phase two cost a total of $55,553.47. While the cost may seem high, public playground equipment has many rules and regulations governing it as well as the cost of liability insurance that is mandated. This equipment is being made available to the community to use. Therefore, the Village of Montpeliers insurance company also wants the playground equipment to be professionally installed due to the liability. The playground at Storrer Park will be a great addition to the community. Many community members are excited to see a tot friendly playground on the North side of the bridge. There a lot of children that are going to be able to benefit from this generous gift from the community. The new equipment is definitely something for the community to be proud of.

The Stryker Village Council met on Monday, November 11 for their regular monthly meeting. Mayor Daniel Hughes brought the meeting to order, and following the evening prayer and pledge of allegiance, the roll was called and previous meeting minutes were read into order. The council went into executive session, lasting 15 minutes, and the open meeting resumed. The Communications Department voiced a heartfelt thank you to all veterans on this day of remembrance for our nations veterans and the members of the council voiced their thanks and appreciation as well. The council address several fiscal issues needed by the village to complete end of year funding prior to adaption of the 2014 budget. This included two separate resolutions moving funds within various village accounts to close out fiscal requirements for the year. Funding for fiscal year 2014 will be addressed and approved in March of 2014. The council approved resolution 2013-10, which will make funds available for current expenses and will also carry funding over into 2014 until the years budget is voted on and approved. The council also voted on and unanimously approved Ordinance 2013-11, which is a supplemental appropriations ordinance, and Ordinance 2013-12, bringing the village into compliance with enactments from the Ohio General Assembly. Both ordinances passed by unanimous consent. Police Chief Steven D. Schlosser of the Stryker Police Department presented his monthly Event Disposition Statistic Report. Police activity this month included 27 Traffic Warnings, 2 Traffic Citations and 4 Adult Arrests. Chief Schlosser also noted that the community is still seeking volunteers to act as school crossing guards. As well as adult volunteers, students from 6th
grade and up may also volunteer for morning and afternoon positions. Interested individuals may contact Chief Schlosser at the Stryker Police Department at (419) 682-4911 for additional information. The Village Administrator announced that the ongoing leaf pickup throughout the village will continue through December 1, and residents are reminded to keep leaf piles and tree branch piles separated. This will ensure smooth pickup and keep the department moving so all residences may be served prior to the closing date. Additionally, the administrator announced the village will be introducing a new online database system that will allow citizens to research and view village ordinances and codes. The council also made several community announcements at this evenings meeting. The Stryker Heritage Council will hold an open house event on Wednesday, November 13 beginning at 6:00 p.m. The event will be held at the Methodist Church in Stryker, and is open to all members of the public.

Fayette Board Of Education Accepts Cash Option To Remove Wind Turbine

By: Timothy Kays THE VILLAGE REPORTER What began with so much promise and fanfare came to a quiet end on November 15. In a special session of the Fayette Local Board of Education, the Board voted 5-0 to accept a cash option from Wind Energy Solutions of the Netherlands (WES), for the buyback and removal of the problem-plagued wind turbine. Terms of the warranty buyback stipulate that the Fayette Local School will receive 222,000 Euros for the wind turbine, which includes the transformer, cables, nacelle, other parts, and what remains of the rotor. The deal adds up to an additional 7,500 Euros for expenses incurred in bringing down and loading the turbine. The wind turbine project, began under the jurisdiction of previous District Administrator Russell Griggs, was supposed to have been able to dramatically reduce the electricity costs of the school by providing 'green' energy. The problem was not in the planning and the execution of the project, said current Administrator Erik Belcher. The problems came with the frequent breakdowns of the turbine, and when the rotor blade assembly partially shattered, dismounted itself and flew into the adjacent field earlier this year, the issue of student safety became a paramount concern, one that Mr. Belcher could not overlook. "We've had a series of incidents that have kept the turbine from producing...the latest being the blade break," Mr. Belcher explained. "We've had the lag nuts that hold it to the base being sheared off. We've had electrical issues. The turbine itself had to be taken down and rebuilt. The latest, the blades on the ground, as I look at it, creates a safety issue. We're in the business of kids here, and any time you have something with that kind of weight and that kind of power that ends up on the ground, that concerns the safety of the kids and the community. We can't move forward and take that kind of chance ever again." Ohio Revised Code Section 5705.10 classifies this warranty buyback as a sale of a sold capital improvement, and being with it being such, the proceeds are, by law, to be applied to the Fayette School District Permanent Improvement Fund. At current exchange rates, the total of 229,500 Euros (222,000 for the buyback and 7,500 for take-down and loading expenses) translates into $309,595.50. While Mr. Belcher is obviously disappointed by the final outcome of the wind turbine project, he remains firmly behind his reasonings, and firmly behind the project itself. "From the beginning, Russ Griggs did nothing wrong," he said. "From planning to construction, everything was done right." He said that in every line of produced goods, you will occasionally find a lemon. Whether or not the District was stuck with a lemon, Mr. Belcher would not say. "We're not in the business to point fingers...we're in the business of kids." To Mr. Belcher and the Fayette Local Board of Education, no amount of electrical energy savings can equate to the safety of their charges. On this evening, the District put sense ahead of dollars, and everyone came out a winner. Timothy Kays can be reached at tim@thevillagereporter.com.

Former Buckeye & Super Bowl Winner To Speak At Founders Hall

From being named an All-American lineman at Ohio State to winning the coveted Super Bowl ring, Jim Lachey has experienced much success on the football field. His success has continued off the field as a business owner, community leader and as the radio voice of Buckeyes football. Lachey will explore these life experiences and share his own pay-it-forward philosophy during a public event on Tuesday, December 10 in Founders Hall at Sauder Village. Most people think of football when they think of Jim Lachey, but he has done so much more than that. He is someone who believes in supporting the community and helping others find success, said Gary Stuckey, chair of the Black Swamp Safety Council. Jims message is inspiring, and I think people will walk away from this event feeling energized and empowered. After a successful 12-year career in the NFL, Lachey entered the business world. He is the founder and business development leader for The Lachey Group, a business advisory firm located in New Albany, Ohio. Lachey is active on several non-profit boards throughout central Ohio and is involved in numerous charities. In addition to Lachey, the event will feature a performance by OSU pop acapella group, Carmony, as well as a silent auction of signed OSU memorabilia. The evening is sponsored by The Ohio State University Alumni Club of Northwest Ohio, Black Swamp Safety Council and Sauder Village. Proceeds from the event will benefit educational outreach programs and scholarships for northwest Ohio students. Tickets for the Jim Lachey event are available online at www.saudervillage.org General admission is $18, with limited VIP seating for $25, and all tickets include a light meal. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., with the event beginning at 7:00 p.m. For more information about this special event contact Sauder Village at 800.590.9755 or 419.446.2541.

Edon Theater Students Present Footloose Play
Montpelier Rotary Club Guest Speaker Discusses Polio Eradication
PETER SAID TO DANCE ... Ren (Mike Peeples) dances with Ariel (Kaitlyn Sonneberger) at the high school dance that they fought to have.
HEAVEN HELP ME ... Ariel argues with her dad Reverend Shaw Moore (Alex Baker) about dating Ren, as Vi (Cassidy Wilson) looks on.
GUEST SPEAKER ... Montpelier Club President Mike Moore welcomed Tim Ryan, District 6600 Polio PLUS Committee Chair to the clubs regular meeting. EVERYBODY CUT FOOTLOOSE ... The Edon High School cast of Footloose finishes the evening with a rowdy group dance. The audience applauded the students with a standing ovation at the nearly sold out show. Tim Ryan was the guest of the Montpelier Rotary Club on Monday. Tim presented the progress of Polio eradication in the world due in large part to the efforts of Rotary International. According to Mr. Ryan the last Polio epidemic in the United States occurred in 1952. In 1985 Rotary International pledged to focus efforts on the eradication of the Polio virus world-wide. At that time new cases of Polio averaged 1,000 per day. By comparison, as of last Thursday, November 7, world-wide cases numbered 328 for the whole year. Rotary International estimates that the number of people yet to be vaccinated is less than 1% of the worlds population. Supporters promote the initiative by saying we are almost there. Polio is a virus that effects all ages that have not developed an immunity. In most

communities that means that children are at greatest risk. According to www.endpolio.org, Polio is a crippling and potentially fatal infectious disease, and for as little as US$0.60, a child can be protected against the virus for life. If we don't finish the fight right now, more than 10 million children under the age of five could be paralyzed by polio in the next 40 years. Montpelier Rotary Club supports the efforts of the Rotary Foundation and its partners through financial contributions made to the Club in its fundraising efforts in the community. Fourteen Past Presidents of the Montpelier Rotary Club also attended the meeting celebrating Past Presidents Day. Ned Calvin served the club as President from 1976-1977, the oldest term represented by a member or former-member in attendance.

Four County Career Center Takes Part In Annual Neighbors In Need Campaign
Pioneer Council Passes Drug Law

By: Kay Raypholtz THE VILLAGE REPORTER The Village of Pioneer became the latest town in Williams County to amending an ordinance to prohibit the manufacture, sale, distribution and possession of synthetic drugs and synthetic drug lookalike substances and declaring an emergency during their November 11, meeting. Chief of Police Tim Livengood said that these latest drugs, often termed spice, are particularly harmful to teenagers as it makes their blood pressure drop. There have been reports in the area of teens and adults who needed to be taken to hospital emergency rooms after using the substances. We have almost lost some youths in this county, said Livengood. In his regular monthly report, Livengood said that his department had received 156 calls for service. Of those, 45 were dispatched, 88 were officer initiated, 8 were by telephone, and 10 were walk-in, with 5 from other agencies. The southeast quadrant of the village remains the busiest, but Livengood reminded council that this is due in part to checking on homes while residents are on vacation. This most active day of the week this month was Saturday, with a total of 31 calls. There were 22 incident reports, 19 traffic warnings issued and 6 traffic citations given. There were a total of three criminal charges filed; two of them misdemeanors and one felony. Officers responded to two accidents. The average response time to a call was 53 seconds, and average time out on a call was 13 minutes, 17 seconds. When asked about the junk vehicle issue, Livengood said that there have been 15-20 complaints and that his department had responded to all of them. Chief Livengood proposed that the village purchase a new police car. He reported that their oldest vehicle was 10 years old with 120,000 miles on the odometer and requiring more repairs. He requested quotes on a new unit, and the lowest was for around $30,000, not including the trade-in. He added that they were in desperate need of the new vehicle as each of the villages four units averages 40 hours on the road each week. It is necessary for the department to have this many cars available in order to provide 24/7, 365 days per year coverage to Pioneers residents. Officers average 34 to 40 hours per shift on each vehicle. Mayor Ed Kidston said that if the village buys a new car every two years, then the current fleet stays in good repair with minimal maintenance. Clerk April McMillen said that there was enough money in the 2014 budget to cover the cost. Council then voted to approve the purchase of a new police car. In his report for the Pioneer Fire Department, Chief Denny Fackler said that since his last report to council in September, the department logged 33 runs and responded to three controlled burns. He requested a meeting of the safety committee to discuss an increase in wages for the firemen, and it will be held on December 16 at 6:00 p.m. Mayor Kidston congratulated Albert Kwader, David Thompson and Connie Salisbury for their re-election to council, and welcomed Joel Burt, who is the newest member to be elected to the village council. Village Administrator Al Fiser said that he was waiting for a letter from the contractor concerning the Lakeshore Drive project. They are willing to work with the village on correcting some existing problems with the project, which are mainly cosmetic in nature. Fiser told council about the need for two new mowers for the village. The village has 3, but the two older models, which have a 72 cutting blade, need to be replaced. They have already passed the date for which the village would like to have replaced them. Council voted to approve the purchase of two new John Deere Gators at a cost of $20,416. 30. They will be able to trade in the older models for approximately $14,000. In other administrative business, Fiser had received the Three Year EPA Water report. Some requirements were set for the village to meet, mostly concerning measuring the amount of chlorine added, and better regulation. Two skunks were trapped inside village limits, and were released into the woods out in the country. Clerk-Treasurer April McMillen discussed House Bill 5, which if passed would regulate uniformity in how Ohio villages and cities pay their income taxes. McMillen said that Pioneer has a low income tax rate, and if passed, this bill could result in residents paying higher taxes. McMillen also asked council to change the date of the December meeting. This would allow her to close out accounts for the year. Council agreed to hold the next meeting for December 16 at 7:00 p.m. Council member Connie Salisbury reminded council that the annual Senior Dinner would be held on December 10 at noon. Mayor Kidston, in honor of Veterans Day, thanked veterans for their service. He said that the North Central School children did a great job on their Veterans Day program earlier that day. At this time, council voted to pass Ordinance 11-2013, and ordinance amending Chapter 513 of the codified ordinances of the Village of Pioneer, Ohio, to include section 513.15 prohibiting the manufacture, sale, distribution and possession of synthetic drugs and synthetic drug lookalike substances and declaring an emergency. Council went into executive session to discuss wages and personnel prior to returning to session to vote in favor of Ordinance 12-2013, an ordinance to set wages for 2014 and declaring an emergency. Wages will increase by 2 percent for 2014. Council was then adjourned. The next meeting will be held a week later than usual.

Telemedicine, Dare Contracts Approved By Adamhs Board
Several contracts, including ones for D.A.R.E. programs in Defiance and Williams counties and telemedicine, were approved at the November meeting of the Four County ADAMhs Board Thursday evening (November 14). ADAMhs Board CEO Les McCaslin explained that the Defiance and Williams county sheriff departments have re-established fifth grade D.A.R.E. programs, which the board had previously supported. Each county will receive $7,500 to help support the anti-drug message of D.A.R.E. An $11,000 contract was approved with Secure Telehealth to provide agencies in the ADAMhs board system with secure, personal computer-based video conferencing capability. The system is used for telepsychiatry and therapy as well as team meetings where the persons involved may be in several different places. McCaslin explained that telemedicine is used to increase client access to psychiatrists and improve overall efficiency. To help offset anticipated reductions in federal funding for addiction programming this year, the board approved an additional $75,000 allocation for Recovery Services of Northwest Ohio using funds the board has saved through its partnership with Health Partners of Western Ohio. McCaslin explained that the board spent almost $25,500 on psychiatric medications through the first three months of the current fiscal year. This represents a savings of more than $130,000 from the previous year because clients are now using the Health Partners pharmacy to get their psychiatric medications instead of the ADAMhs Board. The board also approved several other contracts, including: $2,500 for Maumee Valley Guidance Center to reimburse the agency for
transporting clients to local hospitals for psychiatric services, $20,000 for the Defiance County Board of Developmental Disabilities as the boards share of a residential placement for a client served by both systems, and $3,000 for Maumee Valley Guidance Center to reimburse costs associated with a clients short-term stay at an adult care facility. Cheryl Robbins, executive director of the Center for Child and Family Advocacy, thanked the board for the support it has provided the agency, starting in 1986 when it was still primarily just a child sexual abuse prevention agency serving Henry County. She explained how the agency has evolved since then to serve four counties and provide treatment as well as prevention services for all types of family violence. She also announced that she will retire as executive director at the end of December with Beth Gerken serving as her replacement. McCaslin reviewed results from the November 5 election when voters approved the boards mental health renewal levy by the largest margin ever. Across the four county area, some 65.1 percent of the voters approved the seven-tenths mill renewal. (The largest winning margin had been 60 percent for a renewal in 1998.) The unofficial margin in every county was 60 percent or better with Williams County voters providing 68.1 percent support. On behalf of everyone who receives services funded by the ADAMhs Board, I would like to thank the voters for their continued support, McCaslin said. Without that support, we simply could not help everyone who needs and seeks mental health or addiction services, but lacks the means to pay for it. Thank-you.

West Unity Village Council Hears Thanks & Recognition For Officer
By: Chelsie Firestone THE VILLAGE REPORTER The regularly scheduled meeting of the West Unity Village Council held on November 14 opened with Police Chief J.R. Jones recognizing Officer Brian Feather for his response to a medical emergency on October 18. Feather, upon being called with the scene, stayed with Sarah DeGroff and performed life saving measures while waiting for medical help to arrive. DeGroff herself attended the meeting and expressed her gratitude to Feather, the West Unity Police Department, and Village Council members. Also on hand were DeGroffs parents, John and Sheryl DeGroff, who also expressed their gratitude. Sheryl DeGroff summed up the familys thankfulness by expressing to council that she thanks God everyday for Feathers help in her daughters time of need and that the town is blessed to have people who genuinely care about the town and the people there to oversee the town and be there for those in need. Following the tearful thanks given by the DeGroff family council moved in to their regular business agenda. With the recent retirement of Rich Merrilat and the absence of council member Ron Hausch, the number of present council members rested at four but still provided enough for a quorum. After the approval of both the bills and the preceding meetings minutes, council heard the regular report from Village Administrator Ric Beals. Beals informed council that the villages weather siren is not repairable. The first quote Beals has received for a replacement siren is for $21,000 and comes from the same company that supplied both Holiday City and Pulaski township. Due to the expense the project will be put off until 2014 when it can be considered a capital project. In the meantime Beals will continue gathering quotes and looking into grants to help cover the expense. Beals also reported that he and Chief Jones have had some discussion with tractor trailer parking on East Jackson Street near Main Stop and Subway. The frequent parking of tractor trailers in these areas have been cause for some near misses as people exiting the parking lots of Main Stop and Subway cannot adequately see oncoming traffic. Beals explained that he and Chief Jones would like to put up no parking signs in this area to try to prevent a serious accident from occurring. Council member Dave Short also noted that signs directing drivers of tractor trailers to the truck parking behind the old State Bank building off of Madison Street would be beneficial. Other updates given by Beals included that he has been working on compiling a list of trees to be cut down throughout the winter, that he has submitted the villages Tree City USA application, that leaf pickup is ongoing, and that the county recently striped South Liberty Street. Beals also informed council that Tim Fry and the maintenance department trimmed the tree in the back yard of 307 East Jackson Street so that excavation equipment will be able to get into and around the property in order to demolish the house. Village Solicitor Ryan Thompson also spoke of properties slated for demolition by the village. Due to the Freddie Mac lien on the other property that the village had been looking at using grant money to tear down, Thompson is asking that the village put off the project to avoid complications. The project will be put off indefinitely while issues with the lien are being looked into and rectified. Thompsons contract renewal with the village was also unanimously approved during the meeting. Thompson, whose office is with Gretick, Harvey, and Thompson, Ltd, will continue to receive $75.00 for his services to the village. Both Beals and Chief Jones commented that Thompsons knowledge, expertise, and commitment to the village are extremely beneficial to the village. Thompson responded in kind, noting that he truly enjoys working with the Village of West Unity. During her report, Fiscal Officer Becky Thatcher informed council of upcoming changes to the Villages credit card. The villages card was previously issued by State Bank and Trust and was in the name of former Fiscal Officer Beth Rediger. Upon applying for a new card from Farmers and Merchants State Bank, Thatcher was informed that the village can no longer have one card that all village officials and employees use as needed. Instead the village will need to apply to issue a card with each employees name on it. Cards, however, will still be through the villages card account. The village will be applying for cards with limits of $1500 for both Beals and Thatcher. Per his request Chief Jones will have a limit of $1000 on his card. All other full time employees will have limits set at $300. The cards are for travel, training, and occasional purchases made for the village and will be kept in the safe when not in use. Employees will need to sign out their card when needed and then return the card to the safe with all relevant receipts included. Towards the end of the meeting, council member Dave Chester inquired about why a fence with Little League specifications was never installed at the ball field as had previously been discussed. Beals replied that he had been awaiting responses regarding the appropriate measurements. Chester explained that he thought that all of these measurements and courses of actions had been relayed. Beals noted an apparent misunderstanding and miscommunication about which entity would be measuring off the field for the fence and told Chester that he will look further into the project and work to make sure that the fence goes up as requested. It was also noted at the end of the meeting that the next meeting of the West Unity Village Council will be held on Tuesday, November 26 at 4:30 PM due to the Thanksgiving holiday. During the meeting council will review letters of interest received by individuals looking to fill the vacancy left by Rich Merillat. The meeting will be open to the public.

Wauseon City Council Eliminates Pay Caps For Crossing Guards

By: Chelsie Firestone THE VILLAGE REPORTER Resolution 2013-9 received its third and final reading during Wauseon City Councils regularly scheduled meeting held on November 4. The resolution repeals Section 2 of Ordinance 1999-18 and Section 20 of Ordinance 1990-35, in effect eliminating the pay cap for crossing guards and opening up the ability for Chief Torbet and the City to evaluate the crossing guards and give them regularly scheduled pay increases in the same manner as other city employees. With Councilor Fred Allen being absent from the meeting, the resolution passed unanimously with a 5-0 vote. Also passing on the third and final reading was Resolution 2013-30 which authorizes the mayor to enter into an amendment for indigent defense services in county court with the Fulton County Commissioners. Prior to addressing these legislative matters, council also heard committee reports and reports from department heads. Councilor Mathews reported for the finance committee that the committee had met to discuss the purchase of a replacement sewer camera for the Public Works Department to attach to the van. Council accepted the recommendation made by the committee to purchase the new camera in the amount of $44,680.68 to come out of the wastewater capital fund. Councilor Stiriz reported on behalf of the Safety and Code Committee that the committee had met regarding a request by a concerned citizen about safety concerns regarding walkers, joggers, and bicyclists on Burr Road. The city does sidewalk repair and installation yearly but has not had the necessary funds for Burr Road. Councilor Chamberlin requested that Chief Torbet remind everyone of the rules regarding pedestrians. Torbet reminded everyone that when there are sidewalks in place that the city asks that pedestrians use the sidewalks. If there are no sidewalks, pedestrians can walk on the roadway but need to walk against traffic and wear light colored clothing. Vehicles are required to yield to pedestrians but pedestrians need also remember that this does not give them the right to run out into the roadway or to cause other safety hazards. Council also heard department head reports. Fire Chief Rick Sluder reported that he has been working with the Public Works Department to get the fire hydrant database updated in the city along with working on the computerized fire inspection program. Sluder distributed to council a sample of the fliers that the department has been sending out to area businesses and expressed that the department is finding out that a lot of business owners didnt realize what needed to be done in regards to a fire safety program and that the owners and occupants of the businesses were not communicating with one another about violations. The new system will notify the occupant and the business owner about fire inspections. Police Chief Keith Torbet reported that over 40 pounds of prescription pills in Wauseon and an additional 40 pounds throughout the rest of the county were taken back during Drug Take Back Day on October 26. Torbet also reported that he has applied for the JAG-LE grant to use for upgraded computer wiring in the department. Councilor Jeff Stiriz asked Chief Torbet how the new arrangement with the Ohio State Patrol having an office in the Wauseon Police Department has been working. Torbet explained that everything is going fine but that he would like to get the wiring done to allow for that office to have computer access. Director of Public Service Dennis Richardson reported that the curbs are completed on the east side of Fairway Lane and the seeding and restoration is done on the Airport Highway sanitary sewer project. Richardson also reminded everyone that the Public Works Department is picking up leaves only and that there will be no brush pick up until after the first of the year. Director of Finance Jamie Giguere reported that the city is currently 2.5% ahead of last years income tax receipts. Director of Law Thomas McWatters III reported that he has been continuing his work on the Lexipol Standards Policy Manual for Chief Torbet and that he hopes to have it completed by the end of the month. In new business Councilor Chamberlin asked if there have been any new developments regarding the dead tree removal project at 420 N. Shoop Avenue. Mayor Doug Shaw responded that the city has had a couple of quotes but is still working on that aspect. Councilor Stiriz reported that the homeowner has given verbal consent to move forward with the project. McWatters also noted that he has prepared a draft agreement for the homeowner to sign once the city is ready to move forward with the project.

Three One-Act Plays Highlight Fall Theater Performances

The first play, "Good Cop Bad Cop" saw a catastrophic street sign swtcheroo which had two rookie detectives grilling a motley crew of suspects and witnesses. Everyone from the high school mascot to a guy who may be Super Mario is pumped for information. Performing in the play were Payton Black (chief of police), Branna Demaline (Detective Bullock), Katie Spieles (Detective McCarthy), Motoki Maxted (Jimmy McBleep), Lela Slattman (Allison Bloch), Clayton Riebesehl (Carmino Barnes), Elaine Snyder (Mascot), Jameson Kamp (Felix Latrousee), Blade Johnston (Mario), DeLaney Stevens (Grandma), Dean Torres (Tommy Blank), Cheyanne Wolpert (Sally) and Myranda Matthews (Carol Bufont).

Winning The Battle For A Generation

HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO PAIN & SUFFERING?
In a sermon for the LifeWay Pastors newsletter, Andy Cook writes: The following are actual responses from comment cards given to the staff members at Bridger Wilderness Area in 1996: Trails need to be wider so people can walk while holding hands. Trails need to be reconstructed. Please avoid building trails that go uphill. Too many bugs, leeches, spiders and spider webs. Please spray the wilderness to rid the areas of these pests. Please pave the trails so they can be snow-plowed during the winter. Chair lifts need to be in some places so we can get to wonderful views without having to hike to them. The coyotes made too much noise last night and kept me awake. Please eradicate these annoying animals. A small deer came into my camp and stole my jar of pickles. Is there a way I can get reimbursed? Reflectors need to be placed on trees every 50 feet so people can hike at night with flashlights. Escalators would help on steep uphill sections. A McDonalds would be nice at the trailhead. The places where trails do not exist are not well marked. Too many rocks in the mountains. How do you respond to pain and suffering? Were not fond of pain, or even slight discomfort. We rebel at the suggestion of it, recoil at the sight of it, and reject the suggestion that it might be good for us; but the lessons of life are almost always taught in the classroom of sufferingwhether youre suffering through an elementary school spelling quiz, dealing with the excruciating pain of disease, or the heartbreak of grief. Regarding pain and suffering the Apostle Paul wrote 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV), 9 But he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.

BY: REX STUMP - TOGETHER!
than confused! David and his men marched to fight with the Philistine army, but when they arrived, the commanders of the Philistine armies sent David and his men home. So David and his men returned home, but it was a disturbing trip home. They arrived to find their homes burned to the ground and their families kidnapped by the Amalekite army. They were completely defeated in spirit and emotion. David came to his senses, sought God for help, and then pursued the Amalekites. In the middle of this pursuit, too exhausted to continue, 200 of Davids 600 man army gave up and sat down. David assigned these 200 men the job of remaining to guard the supplies. He and the rest of his men continued the mission. David and his 400 men caught up with the Amalekites, destroyed them and recovered their families and belongings. Everything that the enemy had taken, David took back and more! God gave him a complete victory. Gods promise was proved true. When David inquired of the Lord, God promised You shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all (1 Samuel 30:8). The promise was fulfilled exactly, but it wasnt fulfilled as David sat back passively and said, All right God, now You can do it. The Lord fulfilled His promise, but He used Davids actions to fulfill the promise. Gods promise didnt exclude Davids cooperation, the promise invited his cooperation. David and his men return home and along the way, they come upon the 200 men who stayed by the supply camp. These men of the supply camp saw their own possessions among the spoils of battle, and they wanted them back. Its recorded that The wicked and worthless men (apparently, there were some among Davids men) protested. The 400 mens attitude was, you didnt finish the mission with us, so you dont deserve the spoils of our victory. But David said, No, my brothers! Dont be selfish with what the Lord has given us. He has kept us safe and helped us defeat the band of raiders that attacked us. Who will listen when you talk like this? We share and share alike-those who go to battle and those who guard the equipment. From then on David made this a decree and regulation for Israel, and it is still followed today. (I Samuel 30:23-25) David declares an important principle: the supply lines are just as vital as the soldiers are and God will reward both soldiers and supporters properly. We all know that many people serve the Lord in behindthe-scenes ways, just as much as those who serve in prominent positions. But often those who are behind the scenes are often forgotten, left out, or ignored. Ill never forget the year our football team won a state championship. We arrived back at the gym for a pep rally. According to IHSAA rules, you could only dress a small number of players, so more than 30 of our teammates didnt dress for the state game. In the pep rally they handed out medals to only those who dressed for the game. Meanwhile the rest of the team sat in the bleachers. Ill never forget the words of a parent in the crowded gym yelling, What about the rest of the team? The wicked and worthless men looked at the spoil and said, We fought for this spoil and it is ours. David looked at the spoil and said, Look at what the Lord has given us. When you looked at it that way, how could you not share? When the Lord had given David such a great victory, he really saw it as the Lords victory more than his own. This principle was so important that it was declared to be a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day - share and share alike. You team may have different gifts, but they have the same goal and responsibility. Your church or business has people with different gifts and talents, but together they accomplish a mission. Look what the Lord has given us! Look at your team, your coworkers, your church, and your family! Together, whether it is small or big, your contribution to the team matters! Win together, lose together, laugh together, share together ...remember its together. For more reading, check out: I Corinthians 3:7-9 and Ephesians 4:24.
There is a story in history of how David (the giant slayer) was being chased by King Saul of Israel, prior to his becoming the ruler of Israel. During this dark and confusing time, David actually moved into the land occupied by the Philistines (home of the ones he defeated)! To top it off, he became allies with the Philistines and was about ready to help them fight against the Israelites. David seems more
