of all 6 platoons. Schmidt, a native of

Training is the most intense portion of
Marine Boot Camp, lasting two weeks.
Each recruit receives individualized
instruction on the M16A2 rife for the frst
week of training, learning the functioning
of the weapon and its capabilities, along
with safe handling.
The frst week is known as snap in
week, and recruits practice the principals
of good marksmanship techniques. The
second week of training is fring week,
and each recruit fres the qualifcation
course Monday through Thursday for
practice before fring for qualifcation
on the fnal Friday of training. The
qualifcation course consists of fve
rounds each in a sitting, kneeling and
standing position from 200 yards,
followed by 10 rounds of rapid fre from
that distance. Next, recruits move to the
300 yard line where they fre 5 rounds
from a sitting position and 10 rounds
rapid fre. Finally, recruits move to the
500 yard line where they fre 10 rounds

Millcreek-West Unity Board Of Education
Meet In Pre-Thanksgiving Session
By: Kay Raypholtz
THE VILLAGE REPORTER
The Holiday City Council heard the
second reading of two ordinances, and
passed a resolution at their regular meet-
ing on November 21, 2013. Ordinance
2013-4 is in regard to temporary 2014 ap-
propriations, and Ordinance 2013-5 ad-
dresses 2014 wage compensations. Both
ordinances will be voted on for passage
during the December meeting.
Resolution R-2013-8 was approved
following discussion about the need for
a dedicated fund for repairs to the water
tower. The tower is presently under war-
ranty and repairs are at no cost to the vil-
lage, but council wishes to be prepared
for any major repairs once the warranty
has expired. The resolution allows for a
transfer of $100,000 from General Fund
Account 1000 to the Capital Project (Wa-
ter Tower Major Repairs) Account 4901 for
this purpose. Over the years, more money
can be added to this fund.
Clerk/Treasurer Lauri TenEyck-Rupp
distributed a new Cash Summary by fund
sheet, showing total revenue and expendi-
tures for the year. As the report was all on
one printed page, the council was pleased
at its ease of use. For the month ending
October 31, deposits were $644,393.48
and expenses were $513,830.35, for a bal-
ance of $2,335,836.40. The investment
balance was $172,836.40. A motion to pay
Octobers bills was passed.
In his Mayors report, Shawn Clark
said that Northwest State Community Col-
lege was looking for a Person-of-the-Year
from area communities.
Visitors Bureau news includes a visit
from Santa at the Holiday Inn Express
on Saturay, December 4, from 10 a.m. to
noon. Children receive a small bag of good-
ies from Santa. Last year, about 150 chil-
dren participated.
During his report, Village Administrator
Gary Baker said that he had been speaking
with Don Grunemeyer of Menards about
power requirements from the village. Grun-
emeyer is suggesting a new substation in
anticipation of increased electrical needs.
Council received several options, and will
meet prior to the next regular meeting to
further discuss the issue. Baker said that
Holiday City is nearing its limit for electric-
ity that is contracted through the village of
Montpelier, and by installing an electrical
substation in the village, megawatts could
be increased to meet the need for the ex-
panding industries. The substation would
include two, and maybe three transform-
ers, and council is looking at a completion
date for some time in 2015.
Council went into executive session
to discuss property acquisitions, then re-
turned to regular session.
In unfnished business, council mem-
ber Ron Keil said that the ditch cleaning
project is half completed and he is trying to
reach the contractor about a date for com-
pletion. In new business, TenEcyk-Rupp
said that she had received new signer/
verifcation sheets from Star Ohio. At pres-
ent, past council members are still listed
as signees. Council approved Shawn Clark
and Pam Clark as the new signees.
Council went into a second executive
session to discuss wages and compensa-
tion. No action was taken upon their re-
turn. The next meeting of the Holiday City
council is scheduled for December 19,
2013, at 7:00 p.m.

Bev Shaver, representing Alternative Pathways
Therapeutic Massage in Bryan, was guest speaker
for the regular monthly meeting of CHWC-Montpelier
Hospital Auxiliary Monday, Nov. 11th at 1 p.m. in the
hospital conference room.
Joyce Schelling, auxiliary vice president, welcomed
everyone and in celebration of Veterans Day all joined
in the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by the auxiliary
prayer. Joyce then introduced Bev Shaver for her
remarks.
This local massage therapist has been practicing
for 13 years, after graduating from specialized training
at Northwest Academy of Massotherapy in Maumee
and passing state boards and receiving state medical
association certifcation. She started her career after
suffering personal chronic neck problems, which were
treated with deep massage and relieved her pain and
at that point decided she wanted to help others with
similar problems.
She reported the majority of her clients are adults
but serves all ages from babies to seniors. Massage
therapy typically addresses problems to reduce physical
pain, improve circulations and muscular motion and
increase range of motion. Therapy may assist those
injured in accidents, experiencing seizures, having
arthritis, headaches, posture problems, knee and hip
pain, and even incontinence.
Questions were raised concerning insurance and
Ms. Shaver reported that therapeutic massage may be
covered providing therapy is under supervision by a
physician. Client/patients may receive treatment at
Alternative Pathways business location, but in certain
circumstances in-home sessions are possible.
Alternative Pathways also receives some referrals
for oncology and sciatic pain patients. Bev noted
that chiropractors generally focus on bone structure
positions and are willing to work with massage
therapists for combined therapy involving muscle
action. Basic work is done according to Swedish
massage, but therapy also involves the use of hot or
cold stones, depending on the patients need.
The auxiliary thanked Bev for speaking to the
members and an appreciation gift was presented
to her. The regular business meeting followed with
members answering roll callWhere were you when
you heard President Kennedy was assassinated 50
years ago?. Members were thanked for wearing red,
white & blue. Thought for the day was Ask not what
your country can do for you, ask what you can do for
your country by President John F. Kennedy.
Reports were given by Secretary Jean Young,
Treasurer Barb Dietsch, Hospital Gift Shop Manager
and Recreation Chr. Vivian Brown, Magazines Chr.
Ruth Cooley, and Publicity Chr. Joyce Schelling. A
congratulations card was signed for CHWC President
& CEO Phil Ennen who has been elected president of
the Ohio Hospital Association for 2014.
Volunteers were requested to man shifts for the
Book Fair Monday, Nov. 18 scheduled 10 a.m.-5
p.m. in the hospital conference room. The book fair
not only includes books in many different categories,
but also toys, household items and holiday specials.
Patient favors for November will be delivered by Marty
Brace and other members will rotate as volunteers by
month.
In memory of Marian Klingler, a dedicated
auxiliary life member who passed away recently,
Pauline Brillhart offered remarks about her activities
and devotion. A moment of silence was observed in
Marians memory.
Montpelier Hospital Auxiliary will sponsor this
years Memorial Luminary Program open to the
public and scheduled Sunday, Dec. 1st at 3 p.m.
at First Presbyterian Church, Montpelier. Members
are reminded to wear their pink smocks. Bill Priest
will serve as master of ceremonies with welcome by
Auxiliary President Deanna Gipe, and invocation and
benediction by Dee Custer. Bill and Dee will read the
names of the deceased being honored by area families
and friends. Anyone wishing to honor the memory of
a loved one who has passed away not only during the
current year but also in past years should contact
Barb Dietsch (419-485-3229) to be included in the
luminary and angel program.
Plans were announced for the annual Auxiliary
Christmas Luncheon to be held Monday, Dec. 9th at
12 noon at First United Methodist Church, Montpelier.
Members are asked to bring a Christmas card for
the hospital card shower, canned goods and non-
perishable food item donations for local food pantries.

The Williams County Public Library, with branches in Bryan, Edgerton, Edon, Pio-
neer, Stryker, and West Unity will be closed for the Thanksgiving holiday at 5:00 pm on
Wednesday, November 27th and all day on Thursday, November 28th.
Williams County Libraries Announce Holiday Closure
Montpelier, OH With Thanksgiving
right around the corner, people will soon
fock to the roads to visit and celebrate
with family and friends. Williams County
Safe Communities Coalition reminds all
travelers, whether they are heading across
the country or just across town, to ensure
a safe arrival and a happy holiday by buck-
ling up Every Trip, Every Time.
The risk of being involved in a serious
or deadly car crash increases when the
number of cars on the road increases, and
the long Thanksgiving weekend is one of
the busiest travel times of the year, said
Peg Buda, Safe Communities Coordinator.
So we want to remind everyone that your
seat belts can save your life and those
you are traveling with.
According to the U.S. Department of
Transportations National Highway Traffc
Safety Administration (NHTSA), seat belts
saved almost 12,000 lives nationwide in
2011. Research shows that with proper
seat belt use, the risk of fatal injury to
front seat passengers is reduced by 45 per-
cent, and the risk of moderate to serious
injury is reduced by 50 percent.
Such a simple step can save a life, but
too many lives are being lost because some
have still not gotten the message. During
the 2011 Thanksgiving period, 249 pas-
senger vehicle occupants were killed in
motor vehicle traffc crashes nationwide.
Fifty percent of those killed were not wear-
ing seat belts.
In 2011, 52 percent of the 21,253 pas-
senger vehicle occupants killed in motor
vehicle crashes were NOT wearing seat
belts at the time of the crash.
Nationally in 2011, 62 percent of the
10,135 passenger vehicle occupants who
were killed in nighttime crashes were not
wearing their seat belts, compared to 43
percent during the daytime hours.
All too often, we see crash victims who
were distracted by the excitement of the
Thanksgiving holiday and didnt arrive
safely at their destination, said Buda We
want to remind everyone who will be on
the roads to please buckle up - Every Trip,
Every Time - so you can give thanks this
Thanksgiving season and enjoy the time
with your loved ones.

safely during Thanksgiving, please visit

Elise Marks, Wauseon -
I am thankful for a commu-
nity that is so family friendly
and that supports scouting
so much. I am thankful I can
raise my family here.
Rudy Hernandez, Fort
Wayne - I am thankful for
the opportunity to serve and
defend my country, and to
represent the many service
members that have given
their lives in the defense of
our rights that we sometimes
take for granted. Thank You
to the families that have
sacrifced a loved one in the
defense of our country. I re-
member and will serve with
honor, integrity, selfess ser-
vice, leadership, personal
courage, loyalty and duty,
in honor of those people that
gave all!
Darlene Kinsman, Ly-
ons - Im thankful for the
wonderful doctors and
nurses who treat my cous-
in for her breast cancer. I
am thankful for the abil-
ity to walk. Whenever I see
someone who cant, Im re-
minded not to take this for
granted. I am thankful for
love that God has for me
because what Jesus did for
me. I did nothing to earn it.
I can do nothing to lose it. I
am thankful that I have al-
ways had something to eat
and something to drink, a
place to sleep, a bed to sleep
in, and blankets to keep me
warm. I am thankful for my
daughter, who makes me
feel proud every minute. Im
thankful for my pets who
keep me company, make
me laugh, cost me a fortune
and dont do their share of
housework. Im thankful for
my family, friends, and ev-
erything that is around me
that people often take for
granted. Just like my apple
iPhone, I would be lost with-
out it.
AJ Lautzenheiser,
Hamilton, IN. - I am most
thankful for my great-grand-
mother Myrtle Cook. She is
91 years old and has lived
in the same house in Mont-
pelier almost 70 years now.
She is the absolute best
person I know. I often refer
to her as all the good that
is left in this world. She is
the most selfess, loving,
kind, and generous person I
have ever known and I dont
think she gets enough recog-
nition for living her life this
way. Telling her how thank-
ful I am to have her in my
life just doesnt seem to cut
it, therefore I hope that this
is printed in the Thanksgiv-
ing edition of The Village
Reporter for all to read (in-
cluding her). So if you are
reading this Gram I am so
glad I have you in my life
and more than thankful for
all you do! Happy Thanks-
giving! - love AJ
Loretta New, Brown-
stown Township, MI - I
am extremely blessed. My
95-year-old Mama has been
staying with us since Oct
3rd when a sibling tried to
put her in a nursing home.
She has mild dementia, but
is a delightful woman who
wakes up every day sing-
ing! I am so very thankful
that God blessed me with
her love and example of ex-
pressing that love! She will
be returning to her home
Nov 22nd through the grace
of God, tireless efforts by my
husband and 3 of my 5 sis-
ters. I am thankful she is rel-
atively healthy and a happy
individual who shares that
happiness with everyone
she meets! I am thankful we

ing of living in a small town.
Being raised in West Unity
taught me many things, as
Im sure is the case in all of
the small towns in our area.
I learned that hard work is
the way not only to success,
but to humble satisfaction
in life. I learned how impor-
tant family and extended
family is. When the going
gets tough you learn where
your support system comes
from. I learned that if you
treat people decent and do
all you can to make a differ-
ence in their lives, you make
a difference in your own life.
It is an honor to be a citizen

THE VILLAGE REPORTER
Edon Village has now joined other area
communities in prohibiting the sale of syn-
thetic drugs as Council approved the new
law during its regular session held Mon-
day, November 18, 2013. Mayor Darlene
Burkhardt called the evening meeting to
order with Councilors Roxana Nester, La-
mar Kline, Duane Thiel, Dick Chapin,
Chuck Bidwell, Sam Steffes, Fiscal Offcer
Heidi Bidwell and Solicitor Tom Thompson
in attendance.
Suspending the three-reading rule, Or-
dinance 06-13: An Ordinance amending
Chapter 513 of the Codifed Ordinances of
the Village of Edon, Ohio to include Sec-
tion 513.15 Prohibiting the Manufacturing,
Sale, Distribution and Possession of Syn-
thetic Drugs, Synthetic Drug Look-alike
Substances and declaring an emergency.
was reviewed and unanimously passed by
Council. Effective immediately, the new
law is now in full force.
With the manufacture, sale, distribu-
tion and possession of synthetic drugs
(and look-alike substances bath salts and
spice) seeing a rapid increase across the
United States, Village offcials chose to take
a proactive approach in addressing the is-
sue at this time. Their action not only pro-
vides enforcement of the law and penalties
for violations, but also helps protect and
preserve the public peace, health, safety
and welfare of the citizens of Edon both
now and in the future.
Additionally that evening, Council
heard from Jim Whitman, Edon Chamber
of Commerce Acting Vice President, regard-
ing the upcoming Christmas Festival. Slat-
ed for Sunday, December 8 at Walz Park,
the community event includes Christmas
Caroling by Edon Northwest Junior High
and High School Choirs at 5:00 p.m., Tree
Lighting Ceremony and, of course, a spe-
cial visit from Santa beginning with his
arrival at 4:30 p.m. and continuing until
his 6:00 p.m. departure. Whitman also
shared there would be no Lighted Christ-
mas Parade to the park this year and holi-
day lighting downtown and throughout the
Village could be dimmed as well.
In other action, members:
Noted a Public Hearing to discuss Zon-
ing Ordinance amendments would be held
at 6:30 p.m., Monday, December 16 in Vil-
lage Chambers; if no objections are voiced,
Council will approve revisions during that
evenings monthly regular session.
Approved keeping the current health
insurance plan for qualifed employees; the
policys renewal rate included a 9.95 per-
cent increase.
Welcomed Board of Public Affairs
members Warren Henry and Andy Ledyard,
President. Water/Wastewater Department
updates provided for Council noted risers
were being lifted to address current I and
I issues and that Superintendent Chris
Decker is looking to complete online water
licensing classes by next spring. Members
also asked for a key to the Maintenance
Building to access the backhoe should
Street Superintendent Brigle be unavail-
able; Council approved their request.
Heard Police Chief Tom Szymczaks
Service Log and Vehicle Report for Octo-
ber 2013. He also noted domestic violence
protocols were being reviewed for the Wil-
liams County Task Force; the department
had patrolled/was available during annual
Village Halloween activities and he had
worked together with school offcials con-
cerning last months alleged plot against
their districts.
Learned from Street Superintendent
Jim Brigle twenty-fve tons of salt would be
on hand this winter; the snow plows hy-
draulics need attention and leaf pick-up
will end the week of November 18 with tree
limb collections to follow soon after.
Accepted the Minutes, Financial Re-
port and Bills as submitted.
Was informed by Jim Whitman storage
space is needed for the Villages Christmas
decorations. Currently kept outside near
the Depot, weather conditions are taking a
toll on the lights, wiring, etc. While Coun-
cil has no available building to house the
items, they voiced no objection to putting
up a building on park grounds, should
Edon Chamber consider that option. Whit-
man noted he would get back with Council
as plans develop.
Reminded everyone Village Offces
would be closed Thursday, November 28
and Friday, November 29 for Thanksgiving.
Entered into Executive Session to dis-
cuss personnel and economic development;
no action was taken.
The next monthly meeting of the Edon
Village Council will be held Monday, De-
cember 16, 2013 beginning at 6:30 p.m. in

THE VILLAGE REPORTER
The North Central Board of Educa-
tion held their regular meeting on Mon-
day, November 19, 2013. Both principals
were excited to tell about plans through
the end of the calendar year.
Elementary/Middle School Principal
Paul Jones said that they have not yet re-
ceived the 3rd grade reading achievement
results, but will be posting them online
as soon as they have those scores. The
school is co-opting with local churches
for their annual Christmas project, and
45 to 50 families will receive help in the
form of food this year. The Hope Takes
Flight Club is selling bracelets for $2,
and will be selling t-shirt, with an as yet
undecided price, with proceeds to beneft
the American Cancer Society. Grandpar-
ents Day, which was held in conjunction
with the Veterans Day program at the
school, was well-attended. A total of 357
grandparents were able to attend. The
Mobile Dentist will be at the school on
November 25. Children in grades kin-
dergarten through 2nd will present their
Christmas program on December 16 at
7:00 p.m.
Tim Rettig, Junior High/High School
principal, said that they have been work-
ing on an incentive program for students
in the 8th grade. He hopes that by having
a fun feld trip planned for the end of the
year that students will give an extra ef-
fort toward succeeding in their fnal year
in junior high before advancing to high
school. They would have to meet criteria
to go on the trip, but so far they are plan-
ning a trip to the Port Clinton area and
Lake Erie Islands to visit the State Labo-
ratory on South Bass Island. This is the
research lab for the Great Lakes and stu-
dents will have a chance to participate in
fun experiments. Rettig, who grew up in
the area, said that it was a neat place
to be. Students would also visit Perrys
Peace Monument and go to the top of the
structure. This would be a one day trip.
The board voted to approve the trip.
Students in grades 7 through 12 will
be participating in problem based learn-
ing after their return from Christmas
break. They will break into six to seven
pods per grade level and work on proj-
ects that will incorporate math, science,
English and history. Students will study
the Continental Congress and the Dec-
laration of Independence, and fgurative-
ly fing a pie at the King of England. In
this case, the winning groups will have a
chance to build a catapult and actually
use it to fing a pie at Principal Rettig,
who will stand in for the Dictator.
The board approved the Consent
Agenda and the following items:
1. Minutes from the October 21, 2013,
Board of Education meeting.
2. Financial statements and invest-
ments from October
3. Employments:
One year supplemental contracts
held by certifed employees:
Joe Fidler
Varsity Softball Coach
Moreland (Joe) House
Substitute Weight Room Coordinator
Jason Luthy
Junior High Track Coach
One year supplemental contracts
held by classifed employees:
Eric Smeltzer
Varsity Baseball Coach
The Treasurers report was approved
for the Appropriation Additions:
Funds Amount
Rotary $51.00
IDEA Part B $28.98
Total General Fund $79.98
Smeltzer also proposed a reduction in
millage from 1.5 to 1.0. This will be the
last year the millage is collected under
the current levy. The board voted to ap-
prove the reduction.
In the Superintendents report, Ken
Boyer discussed a dugout project for the
baseball feld. The Athletic Boosters have
plans to build a press box over the dug-
outs, but the current dugouts will need
to be replaced before their project can be-
gin. The board approved new dugouts at
a total cost of about $12,500. The Boost-
ers will fund and build the press box.
The board has already received quotes
from two area contractors.
Boyer said that the state has not
yet approved anything for the planned
building project as some re-designing is
being done for the proposed building to
ft the current site. So far, the response
from the state has been that the project
sounds good.
Due to a confict with school activi-
ties, the regular December 16 meeting
has been re-scheduled for December 23
at 6:30 p.m. in the band room.

West Unity Senior Center

cation Association regard-
ing absence reporting was

During the principals re-
port several items were ad-
dressed by Mr. Riley. First
the students of the month
were acknowledged. 7-12
students of the month for
October were Levi Grant
-10th grade, David Carpen-
ter- 7th grade, Christian
McKinney-7th grade, Olivia
Fish - 7th grade, Donald
Wilson - 12th grade, Marlee

Next Mr. Riley discussed
the Foundation Games.
Hilltops Foundation Game
with Montpelier occurred
on Friday, November 15th
and included the JV girls,
JV boys, Varsity Girls and
Varsity Boys Basketball
teams from both schools.
The proceeds from the
Foundation Game will be
donated to the United Way
of Williams County. Accord-
ing to Riley, the Foundation
Game is an OHSAA spon-
sored event that permits
member schools to use one
of their fve allotted scrim-
mages to play a regulation
basketball game under all
normal game conditions.
Foundation games do not
count against a teams re-
cord. Each participating
school, or their sponsor,
makes a $250 contribution
to the OHSAA Foundation,
which uses the funds to
support the OHSAA Foun-
dation Student Leader-
ship Conference. Other
funds generated from the
event are often donated to
local charitable organiza-
tion. This was a great event
and reminds us that winter
sports are beginning.
Mr. Riley wanted to
mention that Parent-Teach-
er Conferences for Grades
K-12 will be held on No-
vember 25th and 26th
from 4:00 - 7:30 p.m. and

ogy Coordinator will be at
the school to assist parents
who are having diffculties
logging into the "Parent

Wauseon students en-
joyed a Veterans Day as-
sembly on November 13th

from the community and
speaker Shane Parsons,

zation. The WMS Student

upcoming changes in Ohio

include new learning stan-
dards, student evaluations,
changes in assessments,
changes in district report
cards, the development
of the Third Grade Read-
ing Guarantee, and im-
provements made in Early
Childhood education. The
changes are scheduled to
occur in phases over the
next several years are in
an effort to improve Ohio
education by putting con-
tinued emphasis on teacher
accountability and higher
standards for district report
cards. One of the major ar-
eas of emphasis continues
to be the OTES (Ohio Teach-
er Evaluation System) that
is requiring a great deal of
effort from faculty and staff
as the system itself re-
quires even more stringent
tracking and verifcation of
professional development
and teacher evaluation.
The faculty and staff of
Wauseon Schools continue
to be hard at work to meet
the challenges brought on
by these changes as well
as to continuously provide
Wauseon students with an
excellent education.
With no further action or
need for executive session,
the meeting was adjourned
and the next Board of edu-
cation meeting will be held
on Monday, December 9 at
5:30 PM in the board offce.

CHRISTMAS PARADE

THE VILLAGE REPORTER
Posada was pleased to celebrate their
new location at 1290 N. Shoop Avenue
in the Wauseon Plaza on Thursday,
November 21. Formerly La Mexicana,
Posada moved from their previous loca-
tion and changed their name in Febru-
ary 2013. With a market in the front
and a restaurant in the back, Posada
offers customers the opportunity to par-
take in authentic Mexican cuisine such
as tacos, burritos, and barbacoa as well
as the opportunity to purchase the in-
gredients to make their favorite dishes
at home. Glass bottled soda, imported
from Mexico and made from real cane
sugar, is also available and provides a
nostalgic experience for those who grew
up drinking pop out of a glass bottle.
Services to transfer funds to Mexico and
South America are also available. It is
the hope of owners Steve and Gloria
Wilburn that their authentic menu and
ingredients along with the overall ambi-
ance of their new location will provide a
welcomed and comfortable feeling for all
of their customers.

During the November 18 regularly
scheduled council meeting, many mem-
bers of the Wauseon City Council as well
city employees were happy to report that
Wauseon's trees stood up exceptionally
well to the severe winds that had accom-
panied the storms of the day before. Along
with these reports also came the report
of the Tree Commission. Councilor Don
Mathews spoke on behalf of the commit-
tee and reported that pruning of trees has
been completed throughout town and that
only light pruning remains in the parks.
Mathews also reported that the Commis-
sion was hoping to allocate $4000-$5000
during the council meeting for purchas-
ing trees at Biddle Park. The allocation of
the funds, also recommended by the Park
Board, was later granted. An offer of ap-
proximately 100 large hardwood trees to be
dug and transplanted at Biddle Park was
also discussed. The trees, mostly oaks,
soft maple, and tulip poplar, are about 15
tall and 3-4 inches in diameter. The trees
would make for good starter shade trees
at the park which in need of shade. The
city will need to use Ironwood's spade to
transplant these trees as the city's is not
large enough. Also reported by Mathews
was that a questionable tree on Burr av-
enue is leaning but still alive. While it was
suggested that the leaning tree may ac-
tually be stronger than straight trees, the
landowner was advised to go to the city's
legal department to take action to have
the tree removed. With the holiday sea-
son fast at hand, Mathews also reported
that the city will decorate the tree on the
corner of Elm and Shoop with Christmas
lights this year.
Also reporting during the council meet-
ing was the park board, which was rep-
resented by Councilor Shane Chamberlin,
who told council about a plan and recom-
mendation to construct a pavilion at Bid-
dle Park as well as discussed the plant-
ing of trees at the park formerly brought
up by Mathews. Chamberlin also noted
that both he and Councilor Heather Kost
had continued to work on the necessary
changes to the Shelter House Reserva-
tions. The recommendation to approve
the changes was granted and anyone in-
terested in reserving the shelter houses
at Reighard, Rotary, or Homecoming Park
can do so by contacting the Municipal
Building.
The fnance committee reported that
they have met and discussed changes to
the proposed 2014 budget and that the
fnal budget will be presented to council
on December 2. The personnel commit-
tee, represented by Councilor Kost also
presented a recommendation to hire fre
fghter, EMT, and paramedics for the city
on a contingency basis. The recommenda-
tion came as a result of complications the
city at times encounters when trying to fll
positions by using Mercy Health Partners
(formerly Life Star) out of Cleveland.
Department head reports included the
report from Fire Chief Rick Sluder, who
reported on both good attendance at the
Feather Party just a few days before as
well that the department encountered no
major calls as a result of the storm. Po-
lice Chief Keith Torbet reported that the
Citizen's Police Academy has recently
graduated as well as reminded everyone
of the November 30 holiday party. Code
Administrator Tom Hall reported about
the new Dollar General store which will
be open across from Don's Automotive
and the remodeling of Pizza Hut. Hall also
noted that it has been great to see area
businesses investing in themselves and
the city. Director of Public Service Dennis
Richardson reported that the city did an
outstanding job on their October 30 EPA
inspection and that, to his knowledge, only
one branch on Elm Street came down in
the storm. The branch was easy enough
for the city to quickly remove. Director
of Finance Jamie Giguere reported that
she is continuing her work on the 2014
budget as well as negotiations involving
healthcare. Director of Law Thomas Mc-
Watters III also reported that he has been
involved in healthcare negotiations as well
as the Lexipol Policy and Procedures Man-
ual along with Chief Torbet.
Ordinance 2013-11 was declared and
passed on emergency. The ordinance
adopts and enacts the 2013 replacement
pages to the city's codifed ordinances,
repeals ordinances in confict, and pub-
lishes the enactment of the matter. Res-
olution 2013-32 was also passed with a
suspension of the rule requiring three
readings. The resolution authorizes the
mayor to enter into a contract with Ful-
ton County for bail bondsman for Fulton
County Court, Western District.
With the bills and previous meeting's
minutes being approved, the meeting was
adjourned.

Early November: The Village Reporter Takes To Facebook &
Asks Our Followers ... How Soon Do You Decorate For Christmas?
By Mitchell Peebles
THE VILLAGE REPORTER
Linda Wurns grew up in a family that was very close
My parents motto was that you have to take care of
your own, Wurns said No matter how distance a fam-
ily member was, we took care of them. My mother al-
ways said if you like what you do, and you are happy
with your life, make sure you give a little of that back.
On December 8th, Wurns is looking to give back in a
major way, as she has started a campaign that could
change the live of hundreds of homeless people in To-
ledo.
Last Christmas, Wurns and friend Marquita Wo-
odring took a family of fve that was in need, and helped
them to make their Christmas a special one. Then,
early this year, Wurns decided she wanted to do even
more to help those who may be less fortunate. Wurns
said: At the beginning of this Spring, I got the wheels
turning trying to think about what it is that I wanted to
do this year to help. It started with a simple Facebook
status saying I wanted to do something more meaning-
ful this year. I would have never dreamed in a million
years that it would have turned in to what it is today.
What it is now, is a group of over 200 people who are
donating time, clothes, and food in order to make a very
special trip. We want to feed and clothe the homeless
in Toledo.
Since that very simple post that Wurns made, Tak-
ing it to the Street of Toledo had grown and the dona-
tions have started to come in. We have had a phe-
nomenal amount of coats, gloves, scarves, mittens,
blankets, and sweaters donated. Linda said People
have been so giving, it is great to see. Wurns says that
now the group is in need of food donations. I would
like to see more food that we can take with them. We
have had a tremendous outpouring of clothes, and now
we need food to be donated. Linda said that if more
food is donated before the trip, her goal is to be able to
feed 300 people.
Linda's cause has been so successful in fact, that
it has gotten the attention of Congresswoman Marcy
Kaptur, who is looking to help out the group. We were
in contact with her today, and Congresswoman Kaptur
is helping us to fnd a location to serve food.
Wurns said that there are people from 15 different
area cities who have donated and helped the cause,
and she is hoping that list continues to grow. If any-
one is interested in donating, they can join our Face-
book group which is named Taking it to the Streets,
and can be found be going to www.facebook.com/
groups/258881017594398 where those interested in
helping out can post on the group wall or send a mes-
sage to the group to see how they can help out this
great cause.
We hope many more decide to donate, and maybe
even come along with us on the trip Wurns said. That
trip will take place on December 8th starting at 1 p.m.
I really believe we are going to be able to reach our goal
of feeding 300 people

In World War 2, the
Japanese fought with
a weapon that seemed
dangerous, senseless,
and confusing to most
Americans - the Kami-
kaze pilot. A Kamikaze
pilot would enter his
plane, literally making
it his coffn, as he would
leave on a mission for
death. He would deliver
bombs, shoot down air-
craft, and attack un-
til the point in which
he would fy his plane
into the enemys base
or ships. The Kamikaze
pilot was only useful if
he was committed to his
mission.
In a book called
Habitudes I read a
story of a Kamikaze pi-
lot who few in WW2 for
the Japanese air force.
He was interviewed by
a newspaper reporter
after returning from his
50th mission. The re-
porter asked the pilot if
he wasnt a contradic-
tion in terms. How can
someone be a Kamikaze
pilot, whose mission is
to fy into military bases
and ships and give up
his life in the process,
and still be alive after
50 missions? The pilot
responded, Well its like
this, I was very involved.
Not very committed, but
very involved. A true
Kamikaze pilot only fies
on one mission. He gives
his life for that one mis-
sion. There is no such
thing as a half-hearted
Kamikaze. Commitment
goes with the territory.
And so it is for those
of us who are followers
of Jesus Christ. It is a
commitment, not just
an involvement.
Jesus was talking to
a large crowd of people
and plainly said, If any
of you wants to be my
follower, you must turn
from your selfsh ways,
take up your cross, and
follow me. The mission
is to be a follower of
Jesus! How do you ac-
complish your mission?
Commitment!
It begins with turn-
ing away from our self-
ish waysthe things we
want. Jesus was clear in
scriptures about taking
care of others, serving
others, and loving oth-
ers! Matter of fact, He
said that the 2nd great-
est command is to love
OTHERS, as you would
love yourself. When you
consider how some pro-
fessional athletes act,
pumping their chest,
talking about them-
selves you would think
that the world would
stop spinning if they
didnt show up for the
game. They appear self-
ish and full of pride.
This isnt just in sports
its everywhere! Heres
the deal its not about
us! We must learn to
not be selfsh.
The next step to
commitment is taking
up your cross. We are
talking about sacrifce.
When we choose to com-
mit our lives to Jesus,
we are committing to
the things He was devot-
ed to. As Jesus walked
this planet, He was hat-
ed, despised, and mis-
treated at times. We can
expect the same. When
we choose to commit to
Jesus, we will have to
give up certain things.
The way of the cross is
not easy, but it fulflling!
Finally, the last step
to commitment is fol-
lowing Jesus! To follow
Jesus you have to be
committed to walking in
His direction, not yours.
It may seem hard, but
when you consider what
Jesus Christ did for us
on the cross (Hebrews
12:1-3), we are able to
make that commitment.
Our commitment to
Jesus Christ is primary
and of great importance.
From that initial rela-
tionship, it trickles into
our whole life. In your
sport, in your jobes-
pecially in your relation-
ships we need to dis-
play our commitments
to one another!
We live in a time
where people keep their
options open, and de-
lay in making commit-
ments. In the ministry
of FCA, pray for us as
we make efforts to teach
athletes and coaches,
and all whom they infu-
ence the value of com-
mitment to a team, to a
future spouse, to their
employer, and most
importantly to Jesus
Christ.

12:1-3 and Deuterono-
my 6:5-7.

20 THE VILLAGE REPORTER - YOUR HOMETOWN NEWS SOURCE WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27TH, 2013
Toward the end of her life
my mother struggled with
breathing because of her
battle with emphysema. I
had an uncle who late in
his life also suffered from
emphysema and some
work related dust that
also affected his ability to
breathe. My mother in-law
suffers from COPD and
occasionally has to use
oxygen to help her breathe.
Have you ever thanked
God for the the gift of
breathing?
I read recently that we
take approximately 23,000 breaths every day, but when
was the last time you thanked God for one of them?
The process of inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon
dioxide is a complicated respiratory task that requires
physiological precision. We tend to thank God for the
things that take our breath away. And thats fine. But
maybe we should thank him for every other breath too!
The scriptures teach us that God blew the breath of life
into the first human being, made in His image, Adam.
Clearly, the gift of drawing breath is a reminder to us all
where we all drew our first breath from, the living God. We
are told in the Psalms that we are fearfully and wonderfully
made and later in the New Testament we are told that we
are Gods workmanship in Christ Jesus, remade in His
image to do good works, to bring honor and glory to God.
Paul reminds us in Acts 17:25 (NIV) 25 And he is
not served by human hands, as if he needed anything,
because he himself gives all men life and breath and
everything else.
So, how ought we to respond to God in light of these
obvious truths? The Psalmist tells us that if we are
cognizant of our utter dependency, we should respond in
certain way, to praise the Lord with our breath. Psalm
150:6 (NIV), 6 Let everything that has breath praise the
LORD. Praise the LORD.
This Thanksgiving, lets show our gratitude to our
Maker, our Master, Jesus Christ for giving us the gift
of breathing. One more thing, for those of us who have
placed our faith in Jesus Christ, may we be thankful for
the Holy Spirit who has breathed the breath of new life
into us.

Rick Jones, Executive Director, Defiance Area Youth for Christ.
