Wauseons Railroad Depot Building The Broken Record Plays On For

To Receive Upgrades & Renovations April Of 2014: Temperatures Below
Normal & Snow Above Normal

NEW UPGRADES ... Upon request from the Fulton County Historical Society and
recommendation from the Building and Grounds Committee, the Railroad Depot
Building on Depot Street in Wauseon will soon have public restroom facilities.
By: Chelsie Firestone
The May 5 meeting of Wauseon
City Council opened with the annual
joint meeting between City Council
and Clinton Township Trustees for the
purpose of electing a board member
to the Wauseon Union Cemetery.
Present for the meeting were Council
President Heather Kost and Councilors
Don Mathews, Kathy Huner, Shane
Chamberlin, Fred Allen, and Rick
Frey.
Clinton Township Trustees
present for the meeting were Hite
and Neuenschwander.
Trustee Hite
moved and was seconded by Councilor
Chamberlin to reappoint Leonard Richer
to the Wauseon Union Cemetery Board
for the term January 2, 2015 through
January 1, 2018.
The motion was
unanimously approved and the joint
portion of the meeting was adjourned.
The regular portion of the City Council
meeting followed directly afterwards and
began with the hearing of committee
reports. Councilor Allen spoke on behalf
of the Building and Grounds Committee
and reported that the Fulton County
Historical Society had met with the
committee regarding the bathroom at
the Railroad Depot building, which have
not been in operation. As the Historical
Society would like to hold more events
at the building, a request for assistance
in updating the restroom facilities was
made. The recommendation for the city
to take the new water and sewer lines
from the street to the foundation of the
building; with a maximum cost of $2500,
which Director of Public Service Dennis
Richardson noted the City more than
likely will not come close to spending;
was later approved.
Allen also reported that the Building
and Grounds Committee had also
discussed the Richard Mull property
on County Roads B and 13. Mull has
donated trees to the city. However, due
to the severe weather of this past winter,

the City has had no opportunity to
transplant the trees. A recommendation
to authorize the mayor to enter into
a farm lease agreement with Mull,
which will allow the City more time to
transplant the trees, was approved and
a subsequent resolution passed on first
reading later during the meeting. The last
portion of Allens report was in regards
to a request made from a resident to
put in a permanent concrete slab for a
basketball hoop on the city right of way.
Council, on recommendation from the
Committee, denied the request.
After hearing from Allen, Council went
on to hear Department Head Reports.
Regional Planning Director David Wright
opened these reports by giving an update
on the CDBG grant application process.
Wright also noted he sent out building
and business owner participation
surveys to the downtown stakeholders
in the established target area. Wright
also noted that he is working with
council members to establish what type
of projects the City is going to spearhead
and that one of the main projects is to
make the area 100% ADA compliant
within the target area.
Police Chief Keith Torbet reported that
the Police Department took in 80 pounds
of prescription medications during the
Drug Take Back Day held on April 26.
The department will be keeping a box in
the Police Department to allow people
to drop off unwanted prescription drugs
at any time prior to the next Take Back
Day. Torbet also reminded everyone
that the Youth Police Academy will be
beginning on June 9 and that those who
are interested need to register quickly as
the maximum enrollment is limited to
15.
Code Administrator Tom Hall reported
that his department has been busy
supplying information to citizens about
the Comprehensive Plan in anticipation
of the public hearing on the
planned unit development
area next to the Pat West
Subdivision.
Director
of
Public
Service Dennis Richardson
noted that some years ago
the city had refinished and
repainted the west clarifier
at the water plant but had
been unable to do the east
clarifier at the same time
due to other ...

Ahh... Springtime in
Ohio. Tis like a scene
from some vintage Disney
animation.
Visions
of
April
showers resulting in the
collection of freshly cut
flora for May baskets. As
the daffodils and tulips
are collected, cabbage
butterflies,
the
most
hardy of the butterflies
and a prolific pollinator
in our area, flitter past.
Buttercups are in the
early stages of blossom,
and the Mothers Day
Peony is ready to explode
for its namesake day. The
trees are all greening up,
with the bustling chatter
and activity of migratory
nesting birds networking
between the branches.
Okay... enough of the
visions
of
yesteryear.
How many of you have
actually seen any or all
of these? Daffodils... yes.
Tulips... few. Everything
else... no. These annual
springtime
hallmarks
are conspicuous by their
absence, and its no secret
as to why. April 2014 was
yet another month of below
normal
temperatures,
with showers consisting
of snow and sleet. I was
just reading the Facebook
wall of Montpelier Park
Supervisor, Don Brown,
who said that he hoped
that he hadnt jinxed
himself by taking the
snowplow off the truck.
I know from whence he
speaks... The snow shovel
is still sitting in the corner
of my porch.
Consider
something
else, if you would. When
was the last time you
experienced
a
real,
genuine, garden-variety...
thunderstorm? Im not
talking a supercell or a
rain event where lightning
and thunder appear every
half an hour. Chances
are, like most of the area,
your answer would be last
year in late October.
According
to
the
National Weather Service
Forecast Office in North
Webster, Indiana (KIWX),
it really was not all that
bad. In fact, KIWX reported
that,
...temperatures
were actually near normal
and precipitation was
above normal in the Fort
Wayne area. There were
no periods of sustained
warmth and several windy
days. This likely helped
create the feeling that it
was colder than actual air
temperatures indicated.
By the same token, it
just may be a factor with

known as the cabbage butterfly, is usually the first butterfly out of the box and in flight during the spring. This
year to date, sightings of the cabbage butterfly have been
virtually nil due to consistently colder than normal temperatures.
which weve all become

quite familiar over the
past eight months... Its
cold out there, Jack!
The overall weather
pattern briefly became
more typical of spring as
the dominant west coast
ridge that had repeatedly
rolled out the red carpet
for our dear friend, the
Polar Vortex, finally broke
down, and the large scale
flow became more zonal,
meaning west to east,
across the United States.
This allowed for more
seasonable temperatures,
but
occasional
storm
systems
brought
the
return of periods of
precipitation and below
normal
temperatures.
There were no sustained
periods of warmth in
April, said the KIWX
report, ...with the longest
stretch of days with above
normal
temperatures
being just four. There were
14 days with below normal
average
temperatures
and 4 days with exactly
normal
temperatures.
It was also a very windy
month with 16 days
having a peak wind gust
of 30 mph or greater and
7 days with a peak wind
of 40 mph or higher. The
fastest peak wind gust
measured was 48 mph on
the fourth. The average
monthly temperature was
49.8 which was just 0.2
degrees below normal.
The warmest temperature
was 79 on the 21st and
the coldest was 23 on the
16th.
Precipitation
was
above normal with 3.99
inches being measured
at the KFWA observation

station in Fort Wayne.
This was 0.47 inches
above normal and ranked
as the 33rd wettest April
on record. April snowfall
was 1.1 inches. It was just
one tenth of an inch above
normal, but to almost
everybody I know, the
synonymous relationship
between the words snow
and above normal has
not only become tedious,
but nauseating.
While visiting with Mr.
Roger Kunkle of Fayette
last week, he assured me
that everything is geared
up for planting on his farm,
but a little cooperation
from
Mother
Nature
would be appreciated.
Looking ahead to May, the
Climate Prediction Center
is calling for normal
precipitation with a 33
to 40 percent probability
of
below
normal
temperatures. After their
horrific misdiagnosis of
the Winter of 2013-14, I
think that the CPC may
finally be on a streak
of getting it right. Then
again, I sort of favor the
view of Mr. Kunkle, who
just shook his head,
smiled, and exclaimed,
No one knows whats
going to happen.
Who are you going
to believe... a computer
jockey with the latest
software, or a Northwest
Ohio farmer who has
more experience with
the weather than the
computer jockey has had
hot dinners?

INFORMATION PROVIDED
Blakeslee Man Involved In

Fatal Defiance County Crash
The Defiance Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol
is investigating a one vehicle traffic crash that occurred
on Coy Road south of Bradshaw Road in Delaware
Township, Defiance County.
Jarad J. Sharp, age 26, of Sherwood, OH was
operating a 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora traveling
southbound on Coy Road. Mr. Sharp lost control of
the vehicle as the roadway surface transitioned from
pavement to gravel.
The vehicle traveled off the right side of the roadway,
striking a small ditch and overturned. Mr. Sharp was
ejected from the vehicle and sustained fatal injuries.
Two passengers in the vehicle sustained nonincapacitating injuries and were transported from
the scene by Delaware Township EMS to the Defiance
Reguinal Medical Center.
The passengers were Jedadiah L. Sharp, age 26,
Sherwood, OH and Derrek A. Sharp, age 23, Blakeslee,
OH. They were treated and released.
The vehicle occupants were not wearing seat belts
and alcohol use is a factor in the traffic crash.
Assisting at the scene were the Defiance County
Sheriffs Office, Deraware Township Fire and EMS,
ProMedica Air, and Ricks Wrecker Service.
The traffic crash remains under investigation.

On
Wednesday
April 30, 2014, many
community members met
at the Montpelier Fire
Station to hear about
plans for Bean Days
2014. The agenda for the
evening began with an
overview and tentative

agenda by Jeanette Hull.
This year Bean Days
will be held on July 18th
and 19th. On Friday, the
tradition of bean judging
will be held downtown.
The alleys and streets will
have much to offer those
who come down and join
in the festivities. Friday
evening, with weather

permitting, a glow will be
held at the fairgrounds.
Saturday the parade will
be held and the festivities
will be moved out the
northern part of the
fairgrounds. Also, the
fairground will be home to
a craft show, fund raising
events, food vendors and
other various vendors
to come see prior to the
second glow Saturday
evening.
Mr.
Long
from
the
Williams
County
Health Department also
spoke in regards to the
requirements needed to be
a food vendor. He is happy
to answer any questions
that the public may have,
and anyone can call the
health department. There
is still a great need for
food vendors, crafters,
and other volunteers. The
Bean Days committee
invites everyone to go to
the facebook page and
use it as a resource for
upcoming events, or to
get information on how to
get involved.

HOPEFUL IMPROVEMENTS ... Pictured is Pocket Park. This park is owned by the
Chamber but maintained by Parks and Recreation Department. This park was
discussed at the May meeting at the Montpelier Chamber of Commerce.
By: Jennifer Manlove
The Montpelier Area Chamber of

Commerce met on Friday May 9, 2014
at the Chamber Office. Present for the
meeting were Jeanette Hull, Terry Buntain,
Chris Lee, Kurt Roan, Kelli Gray, Dave
Tilly, Kara Cuter, and visitor Roy Rozelle.
The agenda and the financial reports were
both approved. Mr. Kurt Roan spoke with
ODOT. Montpelier is on schedule for 2016
to repair Main Street. He mentioned that
the villages electric department is working
to put in LED lights throughout the
downtown area. The whole village trash
pickup has kept the city employees busy
and it has been successful so far.
Jeanette Hull said that there are a lot
of positive things going on in WEDCO and
within the community. She also brought
attention to the fact that the community is
in need of individuals in the skilled labor
area. Within the next ten years, there are
going to be a lot of individuals retiring and
there will be a need to fill the positions
held. While the community doesnt want to
discourage anyone from attending college,
it should also be known that there are also
positions available that do not require a
four year degree. Many of these positions
are within reputable local companies and
Jennifer may be reached at
publisher@thevillagereporter.com offer a variety benefits to their employees.
As we look at graduates each year, the
community needs to promote the success
of these individuals and understand that
success can be as varied as the individuals.
Reverend Dave Tilly was present and
discussed the success of the National Day
of Prayer. He also said that he was excited
that the ministerial association is working
on presenting their shelter proposal for
Storrer Park. He feels that this is much
needed and an ambitious undertaking.
He wanted to remind the community of
the vacation Bible Schools coming up
throughout the summer months as well as
the other summer programs sponsored by
the area churches.
Ms. Gloria Osborn was present,
representing the Library. She wanted to
remind the community of the upcoming
painting class on the 15th. On May 24th
a book signing is also scheduled at the
library. The summer reading program will

Ms. Kara Custer said that The Old Thyme
Holiday Gathering is looking for some new
signage. She asked those present for some
suggestions. Ms. Jeanette Hull suggested
contacting Four County Career Center to
find out if they have any current students
or former students that they could suggest
to take on this endeavor. She noted that
Danielle Lee was a former Four County
Career Center Student in the Graphics Art
program and had done a wonderful job
helping with the Bean Days Logo.
One question that was raised was in
regards to Bean Days. Some individuals
within the community do not know what a
glow is in reference to the hot air balloons
that will be present for the festivities. Ms.
Jeanette Hull said that she would provide
pictures for the newspapers and would
also post some photos on the Bean Days
facebook page. If at any time, community
members have questions about Bean
Days, they are encouraged to check out
the page as many questions could quickly
be answered from postings. There is also
a message button that will allow anyone
to ask questions and one of the committee
members will get back to you in a timely
manner.
Chris Lee wanted to mention that Art
Space is no longer in the building uptown.
Instead, Extended Hands Thrift Store has
moved into that space from their previous
location. At that point in time Mr. Rozelle
introduced himself to the board. He had
a couple of concerns about Pocket Park,
which is located on Main St. right beside
Bubbs Barber Shop. Mr. Rozelle said
he used to be an active member of the
community and that he took pride in the
work that he did within the village. He
would like to see improvements made
specifically to Pocket Park and proposed
adding in some trees and other landscaping
that would not need much upkeep but
could add to what is already present. He
volunteered to manage overseeing the
maintenance as long as he was able to.
The board listened openly to Mr. Rozelle,
and said they would continue to discuss
the matter. The next meeting will be held
on June 13th at 8am at the Chamber
Office 410 W. Main St. Montpelier.

Surviving the Storm ...
Knowledge, Planning & Awareness Are Key
By: Timothy Kays

NEWS WEATHER EDITOR
The first and best advice in safety during
a severe weather event is to seek shelter in a
sturdy building, preferably on the ground floor,
and above all STAY AWAY FROM WINDOWS!
Note that I said sturdy building; under no circumstances is a mobile home to be considered
worthy of inclusion in this category. A mobile
home should be evacuated for more substantial
shelter when a severe thunderstorm or tornado
warning is issued.
The most common and the most dangerous
part of any thunderstorm, severe or not, are
lightning discharges. The electricity generated
by a lightning strike can easily enter a house
from the outside, so avoiding electrical appliances and the land line telephone are strongly
advisedas is putting off that shower or bath
until the storm passes. Remember, you do not
need to see the lightning to become its target. If
you can hear the thunder following the lightning
bolt, you are in a high risk area.
The winds generated by a severe thunderstorm can take sudden changes in direction and
intensity, resulting in damage to trees and property. These damaged items can then become airborne missiles that will blast through windows
with the greatest of ease. Even if there is no debris to convert into projectiles, wind propelled
hailstones can also wreak havoc. Falling from
heights of six to twelve miles, these chunks of ice
can, depending on their size, shred and destroy
vegetation, smash car windshields, break windows in houses, and tear the siding off of homes.
A product of severe thunderstorms that is not
experienced at ground level is mid-atmospheric
shearing of winds. Air that is being drawn into
the convective area from different directions collides and accelerates, forming miles-long horizontal tubes of rapidly rotating wind above the
ground. If the updraft area of the storm has
enough power, it will bend a rotating tube from a
horizontal posture to that of being vertical. If the
added constriction placed upon the shifting tube
is powerful enough, it then becomes the most
violent and deadly of local stormsit becomes
a tornado.
The tornado is arguably the most intriguing
of meteorological phenomena. Despite what is
commonly believed about tornadoes, there are
many things that are now considered to be common that may surprise the inexperienced. For
example, air within the central shaft of the vortex does not always travel upwards. Sometimes,
in what is referred to as an axial downdraft, air
within the vortex travels downward, resulting in
a vortex breakdown featuring a centrally rotating shaft with multiple vortices dancing around
the central axis. These storms are especially
dangerous, as not all of these smaller vortices
are visible until they become illuminated by
debris or condensation. Appropriately referred
to by storm chasers as an egg beater, these
storms may have more than one invisible satellite far ahead of the parent rotation, giving the
overconfident or novice a nasty surprise upon
its arrival at their assumed safe location. Sometimes a multi-vortex tornado will send out a fun-
nel horizontally, through the wall of the parent

tornado. Sometimes referred to as a tube or octopus arm, these things can whip parallel to the
ground at low altitudes, and can prove to be a
nasty surprise when they appear coming around
the backside of a funnel. Regardless of its size
or composition, a tornado in any form is to be
avoided at all costs.
The safety protocol for a tornado is almost
the same as that for a severe thunderstorm, but
it all begins with preparation. According to Mesoscale and Outlook Forecaster, Roger Edwards
of the Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma, that preparation should include, a
family tornado plan in place, based on the kind
of dwelling you live in. Know where you can take
shelter in a matter of seconds, and practice a
family tornado drill at least once a year. Have
a pre-determined place to meet after a disaster.
Flying debris is the greatest danger in tornadoes, so store protective coverings (e.g., mattress, sleeping bags, thick blankets, etc.) in or
next to your shelter space, ready to use on a
few seconds notice. When a tornado watch is
issued, think about the drill and check to make LIGHTNING STRIKES ... If you can hear the thunder following the lightning bolt, you are in a

BRYAN SHERWOOD HAMILTON WEST UNITY
Travis Haynes Of West Unity Earns Bateman Kolb Full-Tuition Scholarship

Many say the third times a charm, but for Travis Haynes, the second time was
the ticket when he visited Trine University.
When I first visited Trine, I was still weighing my options. The second time
around, it was Yes, Trine definitely, he said. The scholarship was another yes,
reinforcing that Trine is definitely where I need to go.
Travis, of West Unity, Ohio, said he aspires to be a mechanical engineer and
knows Trine has an outstanding engineering program and strong academics.
Those reasons put Trine on his list and he was swayed during his second visit to
the campus when he got a feel for the campus and observed things he had not
noticed during his first visit. He also liked what students had to say about the
university and was excited to learn about Campus Christian House.
The scholarship Travis mentioned is Trines biggest, the Bateman Kolb FullTuition Scholarship.
We are pleased to have such a high-caliber student as Travis joining us at
Trine, said Earl D. Brooks II, Ph.D., Trine president. His academic achievement
and great potential for future success are evident and among the reasons why he
is our Bateman Kolb scholar for fall 2014.
I had to listen to the message twice to get it because I remembered the fulltuition scholarship being called the Bateman Kolb. Hearing that in the message, it
was like, Wait a minute, wheres that paper? I need to check it, he said.
My mom was in tears. It is definitely a really cool thing to think wow, they only
give out one and I was the pick, he said, adding that his parents, Bruce and Cindy
Haynes, are very happy about the scholarship.
Travis won the award based on his academic credentials and participation in
Hilltop Students Win

D.A.R.E. Essay Contest
Trines Scholarship Day program, which includes an essay and interviews with
Trine faculty. That day marked his second visit to Trine.
I wasnt really sure how I might stack up against other students who were
there, he said. I thought there is a chance I might get a scholarship; theres
always that glimmer of hope.
Based on his high school achievements, Travis had good reason to harbor
hope. Hes one of three valedictorians for the 2014 graduating class at Hilltop
High School, been on the honor roll as long as he can remember, is a member of
National Honor Society and was named a scholar athlete by the Buckeye Border
Conference for the fall 2013 athletic season.
This academic year Travis has been taking college classes at Northwest State
Community College and has been named on the deans list.
Since junior high, he has won many awards for academic success. He was the
recipient for class awards in English, advanced math, sociology, psychology and
physics, along with Quiz Bowl and National Honor Society.
The Bateman Kolb Full-Tuition Scholarship was established with a $3.1 million
gift from Maxine Bateman Kolb, widow of Richard M. Bateman, former Tri-State
College president.
Travis merit-based, full tuition scholarship is valued at $31,600 per year,
renewable every year until graduation. In addition to Travis eligibility for Trine
Universitys Honors Program, each year he will be provided the opportunity to
select a funded internship (valued at up to $2,000 annually) with the Universitys
presidents office or a member of the Presidents Cabinet including the vice president
of Academic Affairs, vice president for Enrollment Management, vice president for
Advancement, vice president for Finance, or the senior vice president for Student
and University Operations.
Trine University, an internationally recognized, private, co-educational,
residential institution, offers associate, baccalaureate, and master degrees in
programs to students in engineering, mathematics, science, informatics, business,
teacher education, communication, criminal justice, golf management, social
sciences, and various other fields of study. Trine is a member of the Michigan
Intercollegiate Athletic Association and offers 21 varsity sports. Its golf program
includes the university-owned 18-hole championship Zollner Golf Course. Founded
in 1884 and accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central
Association of Colleges and Schools (www.ncahigherlearningcommission.org),
Trine operates a 450-acre main campus in Angola, Ind., and education resource
centers throughout Indiana, Arizona and Michigan.

Stryker High School Presents: The Enchantment Of Beauty & The Beast
By: Angi Walkup
It wasnt your daughters Disney movie! Strykers production of The Enchantment of Beauty and the Beast showcased
the talents and hard work of the students
and teachers that put their time and efforts into producing a well-worth-the-time
production. The musical talents of Bailey
Short as Beauty and Casey Reiniche as the
Beast really brought life to the stage.
The stage production, somewhat similar to that of our favorite fairy tale, showed
the true heart of the Prince as a greedy,
unlovable beast that was transformed into
the Beast as he shooed away a haggard
woman that cursed him until someone
could love him for who he really was: enter
Beauty.
Beauty came to the castle to take the
place of her mother, Madame Rondeau, a
widow with a family to support that got lost
in the woods after being chased by a wolf
into the enchanted castle. At the mercy of
the Beast, he allowed Madame R. to return
to her home to bid farewell to her children
for one day. Beauty recognized the sacrifice of her mother and offered to take her
place.
Upon her arrival to the castle, the Beast
recognized Beauty from his peering into
the Magic Looking Glass at her. He was
immediately enchanted by her.

The Beast fell in love with Beauty and
she with him.
But after Beauty returns to her home
after seeing her mother ill, her brothers-inlaw recognized the wealth of the Beast and
quickly succumbed by greed and wanted
his treasures and wealth for their selves.
Greedo and Graspo (the greedy brothersin-law that do not want to work for a living,
but would rather steal wealth) seek out the
castle to take out the Beast and steal his
fortune. The Beast fights with them and
spares their lives as long as they never return.
The Beast fears that Beauty will never
return and falls ill as the result of his broken heart. Beauty peers into the Magic
Looking Glass and sees her beloved dying.
She returns to his side as he perishes
and as a result of her unconditional love,
he comes back to life as the Prince once
again, and immediately asks Beauty to
marry him (much to the dismay of the Princesses that have been trying to woo him).
This years production was a must-see,
and for those that missed it, they missed
out on an opportunity to see the talents
and hard work that was brought to the
stage.
WHATS SO SPECIAL ABOUT THIS GIRL As the Beast finds himself more and more
smitten with Beauty, the Princesses (Danielle Rhoades and Kari Oberlin), with the help
of the Captain (Kyle Rohrs) cant quite figure out what is so special about Beauty.

FRIENDS Beauty (Bailey Short) and the Beast (Casey Reiniche) share a few moments
together as they find their friendship growing strongerdespite his beastly appearance
and unlovable heart.

MY GOBLET IS EMPTY The greedy, highly-sought-after Prince (Trevin Rhoades)

makes his demands to his servant Louise (Gabrielle Paxton) to fill his goblet.
MAGIC LOOKING GLASS Beauty and her mother Madame Rondeau take a peek into
the Magic Looking Glass to check on the Beast as Beauty realizes how much she loves
him.
I COULDVE DANCED ALL NIGHT The Princess tries to woo the Prince during a dance
as it is no secret that he should marry.
LOVE Beauty arrives to the Beasts side just moments after he dies from a broken
heart. His housekeeper Helen (Natasha Pegorch), Louise and the Captain appear sad
as their ever-changed employer passes.
BEG FOR MERCY Madame Rondeau (Melissa Kincaid) begs for mercy from the Beast
after being chased into his enchanted castle by a wolf, to spare her life after she tries to
take his beloved rose as a gift to her daughter, Beauty.
ANTICIPATION Beauty and her sisters, Isabel (Tricia Wolfrum) and Marguerite
(Gabbie Clark), share a moment of their dreams as they wait on the anticipated arrival
of Madame Rondeau.
WILL YOU MARRY ME? After Beauty confesses her love for the Beast, the curse is
lifted and he is transformed back into himself. The Prince finds himself in love with
Beauty as she accepts him for who he really is, and asks her to marry him.

Fayette Native Participates In

Cross-Cultural Experience In Chicago
Tyler Keefer, son of Brian and Danni
Keefer of Fayette, is participating in a
cross-cultural experience in Chicago,
May 7-28.
He and other Bluffton University
students will explore the diversity of
the city of neighborhoods by living
in apartments, sharing cooking and
cleaning responsibilities, and learning
to use public transportation. Each
student will volunteer part time at an
organization pertaining to his or her
major. In addition to attending lectures
about issues such as public housing,
affirmative action and education,
students will survey Chicagos culture

through live performances.
Keefer is a junior at Bluffton, where he
is double majoring in sport management
and strength and conditioning. He is a
2011 graduate of Fayette High School.
This experience will fulfill Blufftons
undergraduate
cross-cultural
requirement that must be completed
before graduation. Students can either
complete a cross-cultural experience
or take six credit hours in one foreign
language.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Recently the Fayette EMS, Police and FIRE Fighters, and Eagle Funeral
Home helped present a mock accident to the Fayette High School for Prom. They
did a tremendous job. I really appreciate all the time and effort they put into
presenting the accident to our students. Not only do they help to keep us safe on
a daily basis, but also do the extra things to show they care through community
participation.
Also, to the parents of the victims, Lori Jaramillo and Vernoica Molina, you
did a fabulous job of showing the reaction of the parents. It really hits home
seeing the reaction of those who have to deal with the after effects of an accident.
A special thank you to Andy Van Zile for orchestrating the whole accident.

Volunteers Sought To Make A Difference

In The Lives Of Area Seniors
By: Tammy Allison
Guardian angels are believed to be
angels assigned to guide and protect
an individual. The Volunteer Guardian
Program through the Williams County
Department of Aging matches volunteer
guardians with area seniors in nursing
homes who would otherwise not have
a voice. In a sense, volunteers become
like a guardian angel, an advocate for
the individual. Guardianship is a legally
defined process whereby a person (the
ward) has been declared by the Probate
Court to be incompetent and needs
someone to assist in decision making.
Presently,
the
Williams
County
Department of Aging is actively recruiting
volunteers for the Volunteer Guardian
(VG) Program. This program pairs trained
volunteer guardians with individuals
in nursing facilities who are unable to
make informed decisions due to cognitive
impairment generally from dementia or
mental illness or a combination of both
and who do not have a family or legal
guardian already in place. The VG Program
provides training and ongoing support to
community members who serve as Court
Appointed Guardians for these designated
individuals. Volunteer Guardians serve as
guardians of person only, not of finances,
and are responsible for medical and quality
of life decisions.
Melissa
Cronin,
LSW,
Program
Coordinator for the Volunteer Guardian
Program, emphasizes that the program is
a service of last resort. We always try
to locate a family relative first, but most
individuals we serve dont have a family
network.
In order to become a volunteer, one must
be an Ohio resident of at least 21 years of
age with no criminal history. Although the
nursing facilities are in Williams County,
one does not need to be from Williams
County to volunteer. A six hour required
training session must be completed. All
volunteers must provide three references
and consent to a background check.
After the training has been completed,
the program matches a volunteer with
a ward within his or her comfort level.
Although only two visits to the assigned
ward are required a month, the program
encourages relationship building between
volunteer guardian and resident ward,
both personally and professionally. The
volunteer commitment is a long term
commitment for the life of the ward.
A volunteer receives ongoing support.
Cronin shares, A support person is
available 24/7 if a volunteer has questions.
A volunteer will never be told what to do
but will be assisted in weighing out the
pros and cons of the decision to be made.
As a Volunteer Guardian, the primary
expectations are health-related decision
making, managing personal relationship
issues, and advocating for the ward.
PHOTO BY TAMMY ALLISON, STAFF
VOLUENTEERING ... You can change a

life by becoming Volunteer Guardian.
Although the program is designed to

assist individuals in these unfortunate
circumstances, Volunteer Guardians often
find that they themselves also benefit from
serving. Barb, who has been a Volunteer
Guardian since 2011, encourages others
to consider the training to become a VG.
She expresses, Its a very rewarding
experience knowing you are an influence
on someone who doesnt have a family. I
know I am there for my person to be her
voice.
Volunteer Guardian Deb who has been
involved since 2012 works with a female
resident. She shares, I know for me it
[the VG program] was filling a void, having
the ability to care for someone who really
needs someone. Its a very rewarding
experience.
Likewise, Volunteer Guardian Jacque
has experienced similar positive feelings
about being involved in the program.
When I became a volunteer, I mostly did
it because I had lost my mom six months
prior, and I saw the advertisement in the
paper for the program. I mostly did it to
fill a gap, but found it has been beneficial
for both me and for my ward. She has
someone to rely on, and I have someone to
care for and make part of my family.
The next training session will be
held Thursdays May 22 and 29 from
6-8:30 at the Bryan Senior Center. Both
sessions must be attended for completion
of the training. Cronin stresses that
completing the training does not require
one to become a guardian. In addition, a
person is also invited to attend if they are
interested in becoming a guardian in the
appropriate situation for a family member
in the future. For more information about
the program or to register for the training,
please call Melissa Cronin at the Williams
County Department of Aging at 419-6335053.

features leading national paint brand,
Valspar. The new Valspar line, exclusive
to Ace Hardware, features three different
products designed to meet the needs of
every customer and an expertly chosen
color palette of tried-and-true hues.
Valspar Optimus provides the
ultimate paint experience. This premium

Pigment Technology to provide brilliant
color and a flawless finish. This low odor,

durability to withstand major wear and

gallon.
The Valspar product offerings are
complemented by Clark+Kensington,
Aces premium line of paint+primer in
one. In recent tests of interior paints,
The Clark + Kensington semi-gloss finish
was rated #1 by a leading consumer
magazine. The Paint Studio features a
brand new Clark+Kensington palette of
designer-selected colors that cover the
entire color spectrum, along with the
original Clark+Kensington mix+match
palette, which takes the guesswork out of
designing with 120 harmonious colors to
choose from.
In addition to the inspiring Valspar
and Clark+Kensington color palettes,
both paints can also be custom tinted to
virtually any color with the help of the
new NovoColor HP water-based colorant
system, which is being introduced as part
of The Paint Studio. This revolutionary
colorant technology provides a broader
color range, more vibrant color choices
and
improves
paint
performance,
meaning Wauseon Ace is the place to
get the best, most lively colors available.
Plus, for the first time customers can now

color for just $4.99 each, allowing them
to easily sample multiple colors on their

Wauseon Local Rising Above Challenges To Achieve Goals

Wauseon, Ohio, is home
to around 8,000 people. Its
a place Lance Witty calls a
little corn field town. Its
probably not the spot you
would expect to be home to
one of the brightest talents
to come out of the College
of Musical Arts trumpet
studio.
Like many successful
musicians, Witty has been
playing
trumpet
since
middle school. He played
all through high school
and was only the second
student from Wauseon to
perform with the All-State
Band. The first being Stan
George (1984).
A Falcon at heart before
he was a Falcon in actuality,
Witty also attended the
highly
regarded
Band
Reading Clinic at BGSU all
four years of high school.
Throughout high school
I realized that music was
something I wanted to
pursue, he said. Id always
thought
performance
was something I wanted
to do, however I initially
came to BGSU as a music
education major.
In
speaking
with
Witty its easy to hear the
dedication and drive in his
voice and perhaps also
realize he is not willing to
be second best at anything.
However, upon entering
BGSU his freshman year,
he overloaded on credit
hours, really struggled
due to his overcommitting,
and fell behind. Things
really snowballed. There
were times that it just
wasnt working.
The hardest thing he
had to hear? Key faculty
advising him that he would
not graduate from BGSU.
They told me, You will
not make it and I did not
want to believe that since
from 6th grade on, this was
all Id worked for. That was
hard to swallow, but they
were stating the truth.
Witty decided he would take

up the challenge regardless
and he practiced.
According to Charles
Saenz, associate professor
of
trumpet,
Lance
underwent an embouchure
(use of facial muscles and
the shaping of the lips
to a brass instrument)
change during his first
year at BGSU and sat last
chair in the University
Band. He approached this
process with a great deal of
patience and diligence, as
he knew this was essential
to his growth and career
goals. This really shows
how dedicated he is to
becoming
a
wonderful
trumpet player.
Yet
with
all
his
struggles, he still had
support from the music
faculty about continuing
and pursuing his music.
Saenz remarks, Lance has
an incredible work ethic.
As I look back at his first
year at BGSU, his growth
has been astounding.
It was one of the most
rewarding experiences Ive
ever had, and I would not
have gotten that at another
university.Seeing
the
progress, Witty kept going
and in less than a year
fully turned around his
playing and finished his
undergraduate degree in
music performance. Lance
eventually served as the
principal chair in every
top ensemble at BGSU
including lead trumpet in
the Jazz Ensemble. This
is a highly specialized and
physical position and is not
typically a skill all trumpet
players possess. His ability
to crossover between styles
and roles is one of his
greatest strengths, said
Saenz.
However,
the
relationship with BGSU
that began in 9th grade was
not over. I did not believe
Id gotten everything I could
out of Professor Saenz,

said Witty, or Professor
Bixler in the big band, so
he remained in Bowling
Green and began his
graduate studies while his
wife finished her teaching
degree at the University.
Realizing that he liked
teaching at the collegiate
level, Witty pursued an
opportunity to teach in
the trumpet studio for four
weeks in the spring and
fall while Saenz was on
sabbatical.
It was one of the most
rewarding
experiences
Ive ever had, and I would
not have gotten that at
another university. I went
from being told that Im
not going to graduate from
BGSU, to coming back with
teaching assistantships for
my masters and teaching
at the University my last
year here, he said.
Witty now feels hes on
the right path and this
mindset is evident by his
successful auditions for
top tier doctoral music
programs at the University
of Michigan, the University
of
Cincinnati
CollegeConservatory of Music, the
University Texas at Austin,
University of North Texas
and the Indiana University
Jacobs School of Music.
For not really knowing
what was going to happen,
I ended up getting one

of the top scholarships
in almost every school
I auditioned at, so that
was very rewarding, he
said. He will be attending
the University of Texas at
Austin with a substantial
scholarship and studying
under trumpet Professor
Ray Sasaki.
Following his graduate
studies, he plans on
teaching a studio at a
university.
Ultimately,
Id like to have a job very
similar to Professor Saenz
but I have a lot of work
ahead of me to get there.
Besides
Lances
dedication and strong work
ethic, his biggest strength
is that he is a great person
and a natural leader. He

Enough at the Wauseon Public Librarys Inspirational
Book Discussion Group! The group will meet Tuesday,
May 20 at 6:30 p.m. in the librarys second floor
meeting room. The book discussion is free and is open
to everyone.
According to the book jacket, Allison Chamberlain
has done everything God required of herbut as He
continues to nudge her in the third and final book
of The Reluctant Prophet series, she is ready to say,
Enough! Even with two Sacrament Houses open,
the Sisters second hand clothing boutique making its
debut, and the orphaned Desmond legally adopted,
Allison Chamberlain receives the divine Nudge to Go
another mile. Eventually responding with her usual
reluctant obedience, she finds herself caring for a very
young prostitute and facing the deepest roots of evil.
Despite the adversaries who threaten those closest to
her, Allison finds that she has not gone far enough
until she conquers hate and learns to love as God
does. No matter what the consequences.
The library has ordered copies of the book, so each
group member may have one. Stop by the library, and

him denigrating others

shine. This is a trait that is
nearly impossible to teach.
You either have it or you

wait to see his growth in
the years ahead.

Every Day
To celebrate National Hospital and Healthcare

our people to touch the lives of those they care for. Because our staff takes pride in what they do, we
can be immensely proud of the care we offer.

Caught My Eye, Crossed My Mind

Some Thoughts On Our Athletic & Traditional News Coverage
By: Forrest R. Church,
Publisher
I received some criticism recently on Facebook concerning
our Athletic Coverage. Specifically I was told we give schools in
which we receive more advertisement dollars more coverage than
other schools and that all we
focus on is Wauseon and Montpelier Athletics, forgetting about
the Buckeye Border Conference
schools we used to solely cover.
The reader went on to say this is
why they do not subscribe anymore but then said later
that they read the paper every week and know what they
are talking about; that others also feel the same way.
Obviously, I see some inconsistencies with these comments and this column is not to belittle anybody. I have
always believed constructive criticism is a great thing as it
opens the door for other perspectives and angles that we
may not have considered or thought about previously. Im
sorry if our readers have similar feelings as this contributor making comments on Facebook has; hopefully this
column will shed some light on the matter.
Looking at the facts, each town has their own section
inside The Village Reporter and all sections are usually
the same size. Concerning sports within The Hometown
Huddle, we print 100% of every stat/result that coaches
send to us from all schools. Some coaches are great at
doing this while others struggle. We place at the bottom
of every single page of The Hometown Huddle a reminder for coaches and/or parents to fax or email their stats
in, along with sending pre-season letters to each coach
and Athletic Director letting them know the importance
of doing this. This is literally hundreds of reminders per
sports season. We cannot physically attend 200+ weekly
contests for the seven schools we cover, I doubt there is
a media outlet in the State of Ohio with a sports coverage team with this capability, much less our small family
run operation. However we can provide 100% coverage if
stats/results are submitted as requested.
Our advertisement support does not dictate coverage
of a specific school - period. Every single school/sport has
a photographer at it a minimum of once per week - unless
rained out. Weekly, I have a spread sheet to check off every varsity team from every school cross checking it with
our companys sports coverage schedule. This often takes
a few hours a week to knock out cross checking our on
site coverage with our available budget.
Concerning funds dictating coverage: We have schools
that we provide weekly sports coverage for inside The
Hometown Huddle that may only have one or two advertisers from that town supporting our efforts and that particular school, while the next town over may have ten or so
ads. Regardless of this difference, both those schools are
scheduled to receive the same amount of coverage each
week. We are a private family owned company; please
do not compare us to national media outlets that allow

monies to dictate their coverage or the political angle they
choose to promote.
I believe what is often confused as "extra coverage" for
a particular school is based off of the number of sports
in which they compete. Example: Wauseon is the only
school we cover with tennis and swimming so Wauseon,
as a school, may have more coverage than schools without tennis. However if you look at say our baseball coverage (all our schools compete in baseball), you will note in
most cases coverage is extremely even between schools
as they usually compete in the same volume of games per
week.
Our expansion to larger towns over the past 13 years
was due to their invitation and the fact that many smaller
towns/schools did not support us at the level needed to
put out the kind of product we wanted to deliver. The expansion to new territories years ago HELPED our coverage of the small schools by evening out our advertisement
support base, it did not shrink small school coverage.
Statistically we are producing MORE news for our original
towns and schools than we were 10+ years ago. What
may have been 2-4 pages of sports coverage previously is
now 8-16 pages per week.
I realize that we cannot make everyone happy, though
we try. A few years ago we had a subscriber cancel because they felt we didnt give their town enough coverage.
I did a search of our archives for 12 months and their
familys name popped up 26 times in our coverage (six
photos)! Yet they were displeased with our coverage!?! I
do not know how else we can please a reader for $1.00 or
less a week for a subscription? A candy bar now costs
$1.33 at gas stations; we hope the average of 350 weekly hours it takes to publish our Hometown News by our
staff, who are community oriented throughout Williams
and Fulton Counties, is considered a good deal and that
the efforts we make are at least somewhat satisfactory to
the critics.
The reader with the above concerns stated that I was
being defensive when I shared the above factual information that contradicted their accusation. That is not the
case or intent. The things we were being accused of simply were not true and I felt it was important enough to
address the facts in this column, especially since we were
told "others felt this way".
While I am disappointed anytime readers state displeasure, I know we can improve our coverage but it takes
time, money, and often the trial/error process. We make
no profits off selling newspapers so our coverage levels are
based off advertisement support. We can produce coverage double or triple our current levels as advertisement
support allows. Like any entity, we have a simple 101
budget and have to stay in the perimeters of it. Any business or family will be in a world of hurt if they spend more
than they have coming in, we are no different.
Do you have thoughts or concerns on this matter? I
would love to hear from you. Please drop me a line at publisher@thevillagereporter.com.
Donate Blood To Honor Memorial Day

Heroes; Begin Your Summer By Saving Lives
Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of the
summer season and sun-filled, carefree days ahead.
The true meaning of the holiday is to honor members of
the United States Armed Forces who gave the ultimate
sacrifice while protecting and defending our countrys
freedoms. We can honor these brave service men and
women by making and keeping an appointment to
donate blood through the American Red Cross.
Your blood donation at this time of year works as
both a tribute and a testament to our nations armed
forces, said Tracy Fox, spokesperson for the IndianaOhio Blood Services Region of the American Red Cross.
By rolling up your sleeve, youll also help maintain
a strong blood supply at a time of year when blood
donations traditionally decline.

needs blood. While that need is constant, the number

of people donating blood can fluctuate, particularly
over the summer. Someone seriously injured in an
automobile accident, for instance, may need up to
40 units of blood for their emergency care. Its the
blood already on the shelf that saves lives, so its very
important that donors give blood throughout the year.
We hope citizens recognize the ongoing need and
will mark the Memorial Day holiday by donating
blood, said Fox. Your donation will honor those who
sacrificed for our country, as well as help ensure a
stable blood supply for those in need.
Upcoming blood donation opportunities in your
area: Sunday, May 25 from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. at
Wal-mart, located at 1215 S. Main Street in Bryan.
Thursday, May 29 from 1 p.m. until 6 p.m. at the
Edgerton Fire Department, located at 108 East Indiana
Street in Edgerton.
Simply call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or
visit redcrossblood.org to make an appointment or for
more information. All blood types are needed to ensure
a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or
drivers license or two other forms of identification are
required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of
age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at
least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may
be eligible to donate blood. High school students and
other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to
meet certain height and weight requirements.
The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and
provides emotional support to victims of disasters;
supplies about 40 percent of the nations blood;
teaches skills that save lives; provides international
humanitarian aid; and supports military members
and their families. The Red Cross is a not-for-profit
organization that depends on volunteers and the
generosity of the American public to perform its
mission. For more information, please visit redcross.

North Central & Millcreek-West Unity

School Districts, Fulton County
Senior Center Gain Voters Approval
By: Chelsie Firestone
Both North Central and MillcreekWest Unity School Districts saw success
during the May 6 elections. The North
Central 1.4 mill levy gained approval
with a 643 (63.16%) to 375 (36.84%) vote
while the Millcreek-West Unity 0.9 mill
levy gained approval by a 314 (51.31%) to
298 (48.69%) vote.
The 37 year North Central levy will
raise $2.3 million to pay the balance for
a new 33,000 square foot high school
that will connect to the Junior High
wing. The levy will cost the owner of a
$100,000 properly $49 in 2015, $42 in
2016, and $35 in 2017. The estimated
cost of the building is $8,760,275, of
which the state will fund half. A Locally
Funded Initiative will supply $816,960.
The district will also be using of their
Permanent Improvement Fund Loan for
10 years, which will provide an additional
$2 million. Additional savings in the PI
fund totaling $320,395. An additional
$500,000 may also be received through
a private donation. Superintendent Ken
Boyer expressed his gratitude towards
the levy committee and the community for
working to provide North Central students
a great opportunity. Construction of
the new facility is slated to begin in 2015
with a projected completion date of 2016.
The 5 year Millcreek-West Unity level
will raise $57,496 to cover the maximum
cost of maintaining a School Resource
Officer at the school. The SRO position,
currently being filled by Officer Michael
Polley, was created through a joint effort
between the Village of West Unity and
the school district but is reliant upon
the school district to cover costs. Funds
raised by the levy will be used only for
this purpose and are reflective of the
maximum cost of filling the position.
Should variables cause the cost to go
down, carry over funds will be applied
to the following year and millage for that
tax year will be reduced accordingly.
Superintendent Larry Long also notes
that if Federal or State grants become
available to cover these costs that the
millage and collection would also be
reduced or eliminated accordingly.
Long also expressed his gratitude to the
community and noted that the school
has a great person in a great position
and that passage of the levy is a great
thing for the entire community.
The Fulton County Senior Center
also saw passage of a 1.1 mill renewal
levy for a purpose of maintaining senior
services and facilities. The levy passed

with a 3256 (62.99%) to 1913 (37.01%)
vote.
Additionally, voters in Gorham
Township showed support by passing a
0.4 mill renewal levy for the purpose of
maintaining and operating Pleasant View
Union Cemetery. The levy passed with a
135 (80.36%) to 33 (19.64%) vote.
Statewide, Issue 1 also gained support,
passing with approximately a 65%-35%
vote statewide. Issue 1 is the renewal of
a renewal of a program first authorized in
1987 and then reauthorized in 1995 and
2005. Passing of Issue 1 would authorizes
the state to issue up to $1.875 billion
in bonds over the next year to generate
funds for public works. The Issue passed
with bipartisan support and very little
public dissent.
In other election news, Montpelier
native Jason Rockey saw wide support
from Williams County in his bid for a seat
in the 81st House District. Unfortunately,
the support was not enough to overcome
support given to Napoleons Robert
McColly, who gained similar support in
other counties. McColly won over Rockey
in the primaries by a 6083 (61.76%) to
3765 (38.23%) vote.

Antique Car Gathering At

Archbolds Sauder Village
Antique
car
collectors
from
throughout the Midwest will be meeting
in Archbold on Saturday, May 17 for
the annual Antique Car Gathering at
Sauder Village. More than 110 antique
automobiles are already registered for
this popular spring event - offering a
unique view of the automobiles of days
gone by. Add to that the chance to ride
in and even drive an antique car, and
you have the makings of a fun-filled day
at Sauder Village.
Ohios
largest
living-history
destination, Sauder Village offers a
unique backdrop for collectors to share
their vintage cars with others. Again this
year car enthusiasts are coming from
Ohio, Michigan and Indiana to display
their antique automobiles in the historic
village.
While many car shows consider any
automobile more than 25 years old to
be an antique, our show requires every
car to be older than 1942, shared Kim
Krieger, Public Relations Specialist.
Thus, the cars at the Sauder village
show will be from a much earlier time
period, with some cars dating back to
the early 1900s.
From a 1921 Model T Roadster Truck
and a 1931 Chevy Coup to a 1912
Overland and a 1928 Whippet there will
be a wide variety of unique automobiles
on display again this year. Throughout
the day guests will be able to look at the
cars and visit with car owners. Many
exhibitors plan to give demonstrations
and will be available to answer questions
about these unique vehicles. Throughout
the afternoon, guests will have an
opportunity to take a ride in an antique
car and there will be a special drawing
for one adult to win a chance to actually
drive a car! Activities will take place
throughout the day, weather permitting,
and some are available on a first come,
first served basis.
In addition to the display of antique
cars, guests will certainly want to
plan time to experience the past in the
Historic Village. Guests of all ages will
enjoy visiting with costumed guides
and working craftsmen in more than 40
historic homes, shops and community
buildings. Visitors can learn about the
daily lives of the Native Americans in the
award-winning Natives and Newcomers
area and visit places like the WitmerRoth home, jail and Holdeman Church at
Pioneer Settlement. Guests with young
children are encouraged to stop by Little
Pioneers Homestead to gather eggs and

Devotional Thought / Fellowship of Christian Athletes

BY: REX STUMP - DO SOMETHING!!
Matthew West released a really challenging song this year called,

Do Something.
Here
are the lyrics
I woke up this morning, saw a world full of
trouble now
Thought, howd we
ever get so far down,
hows it ever gonna turn
around
So I turned my eyes to
Heaven, I thought, God,
why dont You do something?
Well, I just couldnt bear the thought of people living
in poverty
Children sold into slavery, the thought disgusted
me
So, I shook my fist at Heaven and said, God, why
dont You do something?
He said, I did, I created you!
Chorus:
If not us, then who if not me and you
Right now, its time for us to do something
If not now, then when will we see an end to all this
pain
Its not enough to do nothing
Its time for us to do something
Verse 2:
Im so tired of talking about how we are Gods
hands and feet
But its easier to say than to be
Live like angels of apathy who tell ourselves, Its
alright, somebody else will do something
Well, I dont know about you, but Im sick and tired
of life with no desire
I dont want a flame, I want a fire
I wanna be the one who stands up and says, Im
gonna do something
Repeat Chorus:
Bridge:
We are the salt of the earth
We are a city on a hill (shine shine, shine shine)
But were never gonna change the world, by standing still!

No we wont stand still (x3)
The day I heard that songI happened to be driving in Toledo, Ohio and I was sitting at a corner waiting for the traffic light to turn green. It just happened
that to my left was a man asking for foodand that is
when the song came on the radio. DO SOMETHING!
What do I do? John said, We know what real love
is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also
ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters.
If someone has enough money to live well and sees a
brother or sister in need but shows no compassion
how can Gods love be in that person? Dear children,
lets not merely say that we love each other; let us
show the truth by our actions. (I John 3:16-18)
Simply put, lets not just say we love each other
lets SHOW the truth by OUR ACTIONS!
Clayton Kershaw, MLB all-star pitcher doesnt just
give to a mission in Zambia (Africa), he also spent
time there. Its an overwhelming task because you
cant get to every kid. Its hard. Some people dont go,
because you think, Its just one person. But one kid
you do help is one life affected. Before 2011 season,
Clayton pledged to donate $100 for every strikeout
he threw. By the way, he ended up donating $24,800
that season! (Playing With a Purpose, MikeYorkey).
Adrian Gonzalez, Mark Teixeira, and Albert Pujols
all MLB all-stars are active in their communities, helping underprivileged children, and donating to various
charities. These major league men are showing the
truth of their faith in action!
But you dont have to be a professional athlete to
show Gods love. You just have to simplydo something. Anything.
How are you doing in showing your faith in Jesus
Christ? If we are His hands and feetare we going
the distance, getting dirty, being active in showing
the truth by our actions? Take time today and DO
SOMETHING!

Winning The Battle

For A Generation
HAVE YOU BEEN IN GODS CLASSROOM
ON THE LESSONS OF PATIENCE?
Skye Jethani wrote a
great article in the March
2014 Leadership Journal
entitled Dreaded Exams,
his recollection of Gods
teaching his father as a
physician about trials and
trust. His fathers experience
with a personal crisis taught
him a great lesson on How
to be Patient.
Have you ever been in Gods classroom on the
lessons of Patience? Skye Jethnai went on to say
When I was 18, my father, a doctor, learned what
it was like to be on the receiving end of medical
care. He was diagnosed with cancer. His type was
very survivable if caught earlywhich could only be
known through surgery.
I sat next to him in the waiting room before the
operation. It was odd seeing him in a hospital not
striding with confidence into a patients room or
giving orders at a nurses station like a battleship
commandersomething I had witnessed many
times as a boy accompanying him on Saturday
morning rounds. Instead he sat in silence with his
shoulders rolled and hands shaking.
You know doctors make the worst patients, he
said.
Why? I asked.
Because we know too much. We know the
thousands of things that can go wrong that most
people never imagine.
Thankfully his cancer was caught early and
he survived, but something important happened
when the physician became the patient, when the
expert became the examined. He gained something
that cant be taught in medical school or acquired
from years of practicing medicine. Cancer gave him
empathy. I saw his compassion for his patients
grow following his own health crisis. Doctors may
make the worst patients, but patients make the
best doctors.
Regarding the work of patience in our lives the
scriptures say Galatians 5:22-23 (NIV)
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 gentleness and self-control. Against such
things there is no law.

Warning To Residents About An Unnecessary Gives Back To Community Through
& Expensive Solicitation Letter
Donation To Habitat For Humanity
MORE GENERAL NEWS
Fulton County Recorder Sandra K

Barber has been contacted by several
residents about a solicitation letter
from a company referring it as a Deed
Processing Notice located in Sioux
Falls, South Dakota. The company is
offering to obtain a copy of the persons
property deed for an $83.00 fee. The
mailing is made to appear as if it was
from an official government records
office.
The wording in the letter implies that
you may pay up to $83.00 for a copy of
your deed at the Recorders Office which
I believe is very misleading. Copies can
be obtained anytime from the Recorders
Office at a cost of $2.00 per page. A

typical deed is 1 to 3 pages long and
would cost $2.00 to $6.00.
Mrs. Barber added that she has
seen these types of letters before.
Please remember that once your deed
is filed with the Recorders Office it is
a permanent record of your ownership
and protects your property rights. It
makes no difference whether you have
a copy or even the original of your deed
in your possession.
Your rights of
ownership are safe and secure.
For more information you can

Archbold business, The

Candy Cane Christmas
Shoppe recently presented
our local Habitat affiliate
with a donation check
of $125.00. Habitat for
Humanity
of
Fulton
County partnered with
various Archbold area
residents and businesses
in December for its
annual Holiday Home
Tour fund raiser. At that
time, Candy Cane Shoppe
owners, Marv and Sharon
Lantz felt strongly about
helping Habitat raise as
much money as possible,
so offered to give 10%
of their sales directly
to the local Habitat
mission when customers
presented
their
Tour
ticket at the time of
purchase. And because
the Lantz family wanted
to give back to their loyal
customers, they also gave
a 10% discount directly
to the customer. It is
community support and
involvement such as what
the Lantz family portrayed
that makes living in a
small community such a
blessing. Habitat will use
the proceeds from this
donation and the Holiday
Home Tour toward the
next Build project.
Habitat builds safe,
affordable
homes
for
families in need. 14

and
contributing
to
their
communities.
Habitat homes are not
free. Each homeowner
spends countless hours
in educational courses,
performing
community
service
and
working
on
Habitat
projects
before being allowed to
purchase their home
through a 0% interest
mortgage. The Habitat
program has successfully
improved homes, lives
and communities since
1999 in Fulton County.
But it is only because
of volunteers, support
from The United Way and
donors like The Candy

Cane Christmas Shoppe
that we can continue
helping others in need.
If you would like to
learn more about how
Habitat gives a hand
up, not a hand out to
local families, contact
our office at 419-3357000 or e-mail director@
habitatfco.org. The next
Holiday Home Tour is
planned
for
Sunday,
December 14, 2014 in
the Swanton community.
If you would like to be
involved in this event,
