and
demonstrating
their capabilities. This
event was strictly for the
bigger models, which
was convenient given the
strong winds blowing that
day.
As required to fly in
a public park, the group
obtains insurance for its
planes. This insurance
is
provided
through
the Academy of Model
Aeronautics, or the AMA.
With the price of plans
ranging anywhere from
$150 to $1,200, a little
insurance is probably a
good idea.
The
Flying
Club,
30
strong
in
total,
encourages
anyone
interested
in
model
aeronautics to stop by
and ask questions. Their
true goal is to spread the
joy that can only come
with flying a model plane.
It seems there just
might be a little more
room for giants to hover
above Opdyke Park after
all.

Just look at Jade
Geren.
The recently crowned
Junior Miss Montpelier
was
just
watching
television, not unlike a lot
of 10 year old girls. Then,
she saw a commercial,
and everything changed.
It looked fun and I like
helping people.
The
advertisement
was for an organization
known
as
Tennessee
H.U.G.S., which sends
shoes to people in need
throughout the entire
world. Immediately, Jade
knew she had to help. She
told her mother, Jaimi
Geren, about her new
found plans.
I was pretty excited.
Jaimi confessed. But
when she told me how
many shoes she wanted
to collect, I got nervous.
Thats
because
Jades goal is to collect
1,000 pairs of shoes for
Tennessee H.U.G.S.
This is just something
that shes taken on to
do. Jaimi said of her
daughters mission.
Jade
has
already
been collecting for three
months, and has roughly
100 pairs of shoes sitting
in her living room already.
While there is no specific
time frame in which
Jade needs to complete
this task, she would like
to accomplish her goal
before relinquishing her
crown next year.
The main goal for Jade
right now is just to get the
word out on the project,
and she has devised a few
methods to do so. Shes
taken to Jaimis Facebook
page, which has brought
about some attention. She
also plans to seek out the
help of Montpelier Chief

On any given day, the

skies above County Roads
J and 16 may be crowded
with giants.
Opdyke
Park
is
home to The Hillside
Aeromodelers RC Flying
Club, who maintain the
area and mow the grass.
And from that grass, their
model airplanes routinely
take off.
The models vary in
size, with some being
small enough to fit on
a shelf at home, while
others are almost as long
as their owners are tall.
Some run on gasoline and
others on batteries. But
all of them serve the same

purpose, to take over the
skies above.
The
Hillside
Aeromodelers RC Flying
Club meets monthly, on
the second Saturday of
each month at 2 P.M.
Members of the group
also enjoy flying their
planes in the park at their
leisure, and the public is

local church is also a
target, and she hopes to
speak to the congregation
on this issue soon.
Amongst
her
fundraising ideas is the
Celebrity Waiter Dinner.
The premise is that several
public figures in the
Montpelier Community,
such as Chief McGee,
serve as waiters for an
evening. Each table just
might be modeled after
the waiter working that
particular area.
We might do a few
skits in it, too. Jade
proclaimed,
before
adding, If we can think of
any.
So where did this idea
come from?
My mom did this last
year, for her work. Jade
admitted.
The Dinner will take
place on October 4, at
Millers Country Kitchen
in West Unity, from 5
P.M. to 7:30 P.M. Tickets
are $15 a piece, and the
proceeds will be split
between the Tennessee
H.U.G.S. Program and
the Girls Against Bullying
(G.A.B.) Girls campaign.
Guests will have their
choice between Salisbury
Steak and a Hamburger
Basket.
Some might ask why a
little girl would decide to
go to all this trouble to help
people she doesnt even
know. Aside from simply
wanting to help people,
the fact that she was

crowned a queen at the
Miss Montpelier Pageant
has also had a strong
impact on her. She takes
the role quite seriously,
and plans to guide her
actions accordingly.
Now that Im a queen,
I feel like I need to act like
it.
This makes sense, as
Jade has wanted to enter
the pageant for many
years.
Jaimi, however,
having watched shows
like Toddlers and Tiaras
was a bit hesitant at first.
At first, we thought
it was gonna be a glam
pageant. Jade recalled.
Of course, the pageant
was nothing of the sort,
and Jade was able to
participate without Jaimi
having to worry about
anything
besides
her
daughters chances of
winning.
And now that shes
won, Jade feels more
compelled than every to
help her fellow man. But
this isnt a completely
selfless act, as there is
one thing she would like
in return for her efforts.
If they would send
pictures back. Jade said.
And they had smiles on
their faces.
One can only imagine
what that would inspire
Jade to do.

as many as five consecutive wins against
other world-class hounds in an effort to
secure the World Championship title.
The accomplishment is nothing short of
heroic in the world of sporting dogs, he
explained.
To experience the competitive thrill
of this action-packed, distinguished

event,
spectators
are
encouraged to attend and are invited to
meet and greet the coonhound/owner

process of organizing all the
military
establishments
in the county for a POW/

remembrance
on
Sunday, September 21 at
4:00 PM at the Veterans
Memorial building. This
event is intended to bring
awareness to the fact
that America still has
unaccounted for POW/

MIAsveterans that have
not returned home from
the wars in which they
served. Mr. McNett stated
a WWII veteran was just
located, 70 years after the
war. Mayor Yagelski was
invited and accepted the
invitation to attend the
program in which Vietnam
veteran Ted Mathis will
be a guest speaker. Mr.
McNett said the State of
Ohio has 300 veterans
listed as POW/MIA, and
that 83 of those veterans
are from Northwest Ohio.
Councilor Dan Clum

Gives The Green Light To
Family Dollar Rezoning & Variance Petition
THE PARCEL IN QUESTION The vacant lot between the First Federal building at left,
and the Village Street Department at the right, was the main subject of discussion at
the September 8 meeting of the Montpelier Planning and Zoning Commission. The lot
is the proposed home of a new Family Dollar building.
By: Timothy Kays

The Montpelier Planning and Zoning
Commission convened on the afternoon
of September 8. The primary item on the
agenda was whether or not to recommend that the Montpelier Village Council
rezone property located between First
Federal and the Village Street
Department at 1010 East Main Street
from their current status of Village
Owned (VO), to C-2 Full Commercial.
The VO zoned property has been
requested to be rezoned to C-2 Full
Commercial as a part of a proposed construction project for Family Dollar. A
part of the discussion includes a variance allowing for a 28-space parking lot,
whereas Village code specifies a larger
lot for the proposed size of the new
building, 80 by 104.
The issue has been the subject of
discussion for a while. A public hearing
on the matter was held on August 11. At
that meeting, Ms. Vicki Reutz inquired
of the Commission as to whether the
proposed zoning change will extend all
the way south to the railroad tracks.
She was informed that the back of the
zoning change will be a continuous line
from the rear of McDonalds and First
Federal, with the land between the railroad and the line remaining in VO status.
Ms. Reutz expressed a concern about
the potential for an increased traffic
hazard. Mr. David Soto, a representative
of the Atwater Group, the organization
hired by Family Dollar to handle the
aspects of development, stated that
there should be no increase in traffic,
that the facility will be quick in and
quick out in nature. Business hours will

be 8 am until 8 pm, with deliveries to
the store taking place once a week during regular business hours.
Ms. Reutz also expressed a concern
for the property value of her duplex. The
Commission advised her that her property is already zoned C-2, therefore
there should be no negative effect upon
the value of her property.
At the September 8 Commission
meeting, Montpelier Zoning Inspector,
Mr. Mark Smith, presented preliminary
drawings for the property. Commissioner
Chris Kannel inquired about a tree
shown in the plans, and inquired as to
whether it was a part of the easement.
Supervisor of Administrative Services,
Mr. Kurt Roan, noted that several underground utilities run through that same
area, saying that they may have to relocate some of their utilities. They just
need to show all the utilities and the
easements on their site plan, said Mr.
Kannel, then theyll know where they
can and cant put this stuff.
With no further discussion on the
matter, Mr. Kannel brought the proposal up for a vote. By unanimous acclamation, the Commission elected to adopt
the proposal, with the aforementioned
potential changes included.
The matter was then forwarded to a
final public hearing which was scheduled immediately prior to the meeting of
the Village Council. There were no members of the public in attendance at this
final hearing, therefore the matter was
forwarded to the Village Council for their
action later that evening.
Timothy Kays can be reached at
that some have been

turned off until the service
has been brought up to
code. The Village has
been working with some
of these properties for
over two years. Ms. Lucas
said that because of the
potential fire hazard, she
does not feel they should
be restored without the
services being updated.
Mrs. Lucas added that
she has also received
complaints concerning two
homes whose foundations
were crumbling. These
have been turned over to
Law Director, Mr. Chris
Walker for appropriate
action.
Councilor
Laura
Gray stated in a meeting
held
earlier
in
the
day, the Planning and
Zoning
Commission
recommended to Council

on East Main Street,
specifically 1.63 acres at
R.2 T.7 S.11 PCL 001.001

Main Street. The VO
zoned property has been
requested to be rezoned
to C-2 Full Commercial
as a part of a proposed
construction project for
Family Dollar. Council
approved the measure
unanimously.
Mr. Clum inquired that
with another business
being built, if ODOT would
consider extending the
35 miles per hour speed
limit further to the east.
Ms. Lucas answered that
there was a traffic count
conducted this summer
throughout the village,
and ODOT was advised of
the safety issue with the
removal of the footpath on
the East Main St. Bridge,
and safety issues for
children crossing the Platt
St. Bridge.
Ms. Lucas presented
a change order of an
additional $24,500.00 for
Spectrum
Engineering
regarding
additional
services related to bidding
activities. Mr. Roan stated
that the contract included
handling the bids for

if there were other items
that may come up along
this line, to which Mr.
Roan advised yes, but the
Village will consult their
legal counsel. Council
approved the measure.
Village
Director
of
Finance,
Ms.
Kelly
Hephner,
stated
that
because of the purchase
order, a then and now
certificate would need to be
approved. Council moved
to approve the certificate.
Ms. Lucas presented
Change Order #1 for
Underground Utilities for
Phase IV of the CSO Project.
Mr. Roan advised that a
manhole has collapsed
that needs to be replaced,
and Mr. Hoeffel reduced
some costs by using 8 inch
line instead of a 10 inch
as noted on the change
order. A net increase of
$1,940.00 will be incurred
to deduct some work, but
a storm sewer manhole at
Lawrence and Columbia

measure
without
dissent.

the
Village on behalf of the
State of Ohio to receive
reimbursement for the

System Long Term Control
Plan. Under suspended
rules of reading, Council
unanimously moved to
adopt the Resolution.
Ms. Lucas explained
that the Village advertised
for bids for materials for
the Airport Substation

Expansion, and a list has
been compiled of what
items the Village would
like to order from the
vendors that submitted
bids, using the best
material. That being the
case, it was noted that
the best materials might
not necessarily be at the
lowest bid. Ms. Lucas
explained the breakdown
for each individual bidder
and vendor, noting that
the total of all materials are
not to exceed $190,500.00.
Those bids are as follows
Brownstown Electric
Supply Company $35,000.00

Power Line Supply $52,000.00
Wesco Distribution $17,500.00
Voted
upon
individually,
Council
approved each bid without
dissent.
Ms. Hephner reported
that income tax collections
as of August 2014 stood
at
$1,320,891.56,
as
compared to $1,242,745
and $1,218,919 in 2012
and 2013 respectively.
Prior to adjournment,
Council
retired
into

West Unity Chamber of Commerce

President Alan Bennett was once again
on hand at the September 11 regular
meeting of the West Unity Village
Council to provide council members
on upcoming events and plans of the
Chamber.
Among Bennetts updates was
a proposal to allow the Hilltops
Art students to paint a mural at
Friendship Park. The Art Department
at the school would also take on the
responsibility of upkeep of the mural.
Because the mural would not be done
on public property, council had no
objections to the painting of the mural
so long as it was agreed to by the
effected business owners. Bennett did
indicate, however, that he will provide
a sketch of the mural to council prior
to work beginning so that they are
also aware of the actual artwork to be
displayed.
Bennett also discussed with council
the hanging of two 4 x 2 signs to
promote the upcoming West Unity Fall
Festival. State Bank and Trust has
already agreed to allow one sign to be
placed in the window of their building
on Jackson Street.
Several other
areas to hang the remaining sign were
discussed.
During the meeting, council also:
~Passed a Resolution authorizing a
Then and Now Purchase Order that is
needed for the payment of an invoice.
~Learned that the Ohio Public
Works Commission grant application
has been submitted to the county.
~Heard that Woolace Electric has
continued work on installing the
severe weather siren and that the first

Alert86 warnings went out during the
previous weeks severe thunderstorm
warnings.
~Learned that Village Administrator
Ric Beals has recently met with
officials
from
Kamco
regarding
Kamcos concerns about pedestrian
traffic from the main plant to the plant
on Linden. West Unitys maintenance
crew painted a crosswalk across E.
Jackson and a sidewalk path south on
Linden. The crew will also be adding
more signage to the area as well as a
pedestrian activated light system.
~Heard that the fire hydrant that
had to be taken out for construction
on Linden has been installed in a new
location.
~Were informed that Beals has
began work on tree removal for the
upcoming winter and that, due to
expense, the Village will be working
hard over the next couple of years to
get new trees planted. Both Beals and
Fiscal Officer Kim Grime also spent
time working at the Tree City, USA
booth at the Williams County Fair
throughout fair week.
~Learned that Fiscal Officer Kim
Grime will be out from October 7 to
October 10 for training.
~Heard ideas about new outdoor
tables and benches that may be
installed at the Kissell Building.
Council went into executive session
to discuss employee compensation
with no further action being taken.
The next regular meeting of the West
Unity Village Council will be held on
Thursday, September 25 at 7:30 PM in
council chambers.

Scouting in the Black Swamp Area Council began
in 1915-1923 when the Scouting program was
introduced to the young people of West Central and
Northwestern Ohio. Scouting became synonymous
with camping, hiking, and outdoor fun and adventure
using the outdoor educational programs of Scouting
to teach personal responsibility, citizenship, character
development, achievement of specific goals, service
to others and learning about the outdoors--all based
upon the values found in the Scout Oath and Law.
The Black Swamp Area Council was formed
in 1992 with the merger of the Put-Han-Sen and
Shawnee Councils. The Black Swamp Area Council
now has two camps, one in Hancock County and one
in Defiance County. Today thousands of Cub Scouts,
Boy Scouts, Venturers, Explorers and Scout leaders
use both camps annually, living out the Scout Oath
and Scout Law one scout at a time.

INFORMAITON PROVIDED
PETA Asks For Boycott On Venues Featuring Elephant,

Nosey, That Appeared At Williams County Fair
WAUSEON, OH - The Fulton County

Commissioners have recently received
word from the State of Ohios Office of
Community Development (OCD) that
they have been awarded a $300,000
Competitive Set-Aside Grant for the
Wauseon
Downtown
Revitalization
Grant. Out of ten applications submitted
to the State of Ohio, Wauseon was one
of five applicants approved to participate
in the Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) Downtown Revitalization
Program.
Earlier this year, Fulton County
Regional Planning Director David
Wright applied for the grant. A similar
request was denied last year, notes
Wright, but I thought it was worth
a chance to re-apply this year with a
slightly different angle. Our persistence
paid off! Wright notes that the full grant
has been awarded to Wauseon with
$270,000 of 1 to 1 match grant funding
that will be available until August 2016
to Building/Business Owners located
in the Wauseon Target Area (boundary
map enclosed). Any balance not spent on
eligible projects within that timeframe
will be forfeited back to the State.
This grant could help the City of
Wauseons downtown stakeholders in
a variety of activities such as faade
improvements,
roof
replacement,
HVAC/R system repairs or upgrades,
tuck pointing, window replacements,

electrical and/or plumbing upgrades,
entryway repair, ADA compliance,
signage and fire protection.
This is an exciting time for
Wauseons Historic Downtown, notes
Wright who states that in addition to the
$270,000 allocated strictly to Building/
Business Owners, there is additional
funding that has been approved locally
to assist in the upgrade of ADA ramps
and crosswalks, new metal benches,
and metal trash receptacles all to be
located in the Wauseon Target Area. The
City of Wauseon, by resolution, has also
dedicated $20,000 per year for the next
five years for revitalization projects.
Wright states that he is encouraging
any Business/Building Owners in the
downtown Wauseon target area who are
interested in applying for this funding
for improvements or wanting more
information should contact him at his
office. Success in this program will offer
many other economic and community
development opportunities for years to
come, he states. He may be reached at
419-337-9214 or via email at dwright@
fultoncountyoh.com. The Fulton County
Regional Planning Commission office is
located at 123 Courthouse Plaza, Suite
1, Wauseon, OH.

Those visiting the Williams County Fair last

week most likely walked
by Nosey the Elephant,
who was giving rides during the fair. In a letter
dated September 4, PETA
sent an urgent letter to
Eugene Wilson, Senior
Fair Board President, Williams County Agricultural
Society. The letter called
on the Williams County
Fair to cancel Noseys appearance at the fair.
The author of the letter, Rachel Mathews,
PETA Council, Captive
Animal Law Enforcement,
stated in a letter and in a
telephone interview that
PETA was calling on the
Williams County Fair to
cancel Noseys appearance as well as on local
residents to boycott the
fair if Nosey did appear.
Mathews also explained
that, with the fair passing through fairly quickly,
that she was also asking
for a boycott of all venues
where Nosey might appear in the future.
Mathews letter to the
Williams County Fair
quotes the expert opinion
of Philip K. Ensley, DVM,
who spent decades working with elephants during
his tenure as an Elephant
Vet with the San Diego
Zoo. In Enselys report
on his findings regarding Nosey, Ensley states
Based upon my professional qualifications and
experience, training, and
study of the photographs,
and relevant records provided for review in this
case, I feel adamant in
arriving at the opinion
that the female African
elephant known as Nosey
has undergone long term
suffering and abuse and
should be surrendered
immediately, and without
delay. This is the worst,
most prolonged, documented example of an uncorrected case of suffering
and abuse in an elephant
I have ever reviewed. Ensleys findings point out
calloused skin, arthritis,
a lack of exposure to other elephants, and overall
poor care as the basis of
his findings.
Mathews letter also
points out the hundreds
of citations issued to Noseys owner, Hugo Liebel.
The citations are for violations of the federal Animal
Welfare Act. Mathews explains that the vast majority of these citations
come with little in the way
of disciplinary action other than small fines due to
the U.S. Department of
Agricultures limited ability to enforce the laws and
that her belief is that Liebel continues to exhibit
Nosey despite her weakened condition solely for
monetary gain.
Additionally, Mathews
letter points out that
there is a risk to spectators as well. Nosey has
previously attacked a Liebel employee, striking
him with her tusk, lifting him off of his feet and
throwing him back down.
Mathews also asserts that
Liebel has continued to
allow unsupervised contact with Nosey including during Noseys visit to

SAFETY OF ELEPHANT QUESTIONED ... The African

Bush Elephant Nosey, who has recently appeared at
the Williams County Fair, has brought with her an
outcry from PETA and animal activists who fear for her
safety.
the Williams County Fair

in 2013 when Liebel left
Nosey with his young son,
who allowed the elephant
to wander off.
Liebel was not available for comment. However, his position is clearly stated on the sign that
hangs on the outside of
Noseys cage, which reads
Hi, My name is Nosey,
but my nickname is Tiny.
I am 31 years old. I am
a female African Bush Elephant from Zimbabwe. I
am approximately 6800
pounds and 8 feet tall.
My herd was killed by
poachers for their ivory. I
was adopted by the Liebel
family when I was a baby.
I can eat up to 400 lbs. of
food per day. My home
is in Florida at my family
farm. I am an American
Citizen and protected by
the Federal Government,
local authorities, and
above all my family whom
I have been with for 29
years. No fences, barriers, or walls could hold
me. Love is what keeps
me here. My family and
I have been harassed to
the point of prosecution.
If you are an animal lover,
please treat ALL animals
with respect. Let me live
my life in harmony. I
love to make my human
friends happy. In the wild
my herd used to walk unbelievable amounts of
miles just to find food and
water daily. I have been
trained by a 5000 year old
method known as Free
Contact. If you would like
to donate to further enhance my facilities please
talk to my herd leaders
Tom, Franciszka, or my
siblings.
Love, Nosey
Tiny.
Mathews points out
that the Free Contact
method of training that
Noseys sign mentions
is part of the problem,

however, as the basis
Free Contact training is
the bullhook. In his report, Ensley states that
The use of the bullhook
on elephants has become
a source of controversy;
however, the fact is that
when baby elephants are
trained using the bullhook there is a progression of training whereby,
whether there is application of or the subsequent
threat or visual presence
of the bullhook, the elephant is reminded of
the discomfort and pain
bullhooks can cause and
know they must comply.
The bullhook despite its
many uses or applications
remains a basic potent
symbol to an elephant to
reinforce authority and
dominance by its tactile
cueing.
Mathews hopes that
PETAs calling on venues
whom have hosted Nosey
as well as to the public at
large will help further the
chances that Nosey can
be confiscated and placed
in a reputable sanctuary
where she will be given
acres to roam and have
the ability to make choices about where she wants
to walk and what other
elephants she wants to
socialize with where her
free-will will be returned
to her.
PETAs letter to the
Williams County Fair as
well as the findings of Dr.
Ensley are available upon
request. At the time of
this report, the Williams
County Fair had not yet
replied to the letter. Interested parties can also
visit www.PETA.org for

PETAs position on Nosey.

CONTINUED FROM THE FRONT PAGE
Healthy Choices Caring Communities Coalition Presents Informative Seminar
based Drug Free Action Alliance,

presented the program that was as
informative as it was thought provoking.
The first target on her radar was the
media driven myth that everybody is
doing it, when in fact, only ten percent
of Americans are engaged in the use of
ANY illegal drug. Of that demographic,
7.3 percent uses marijuana. While that
number sounds appealing, the sad
truth of the matter is that of the 7.3
percent, 7.2 percent are aged 12 to 17,
and 18.7 percent are in the 18 to 25
age bracket. This is proof positive that
a sizeable group of cannabis users are
between fifth grade and college age, a
demographic highly susceptible to the
misguidance of society and the media.
On a national level, more of todays
youth smoke pot than cigarettes.
What of all those studies that show
marijuana to be harmless? As it is
with any poll or study, the figures are
easily distorted by an nonobjective,
preexisting bias,,,especially one that is
political in nature. When those studies
or polls are the only ones brought before
the public by an equally biased media,
the public becomes misinformed, and
then considers that misinformation to
be factual in nature. According to the
Director of the Drug Policy Institute, Dr.
Kevin A. Sabet, Science has learned
more about marijuana in the past
twenty years than in the preceding two
hundred. Ironically, however, there has
been a major incongruence between
the scientific knowledge gained and the
publics understanding of the drug.
What are the facts surrounding
the public perception of pot? Is it
really deemed harmless and socially
acceptable? Hardly, and the objective
polling data proves it. According to a
2012 Fulton County Health assessment,
the use of cannabis ranked higher
in peer disapproval than smoking
cigarettes and the consumption of
alcohol. Only the misuse of prescription
drugs ranked higher in peer disapproval
than the use of marijuana. That same
assessment however shows that of the
four aforementioned vices, cannabis
ranks last in a perception of high risk
potential. This would seem to echo

the opinions of Dr. Sabet, and reflects
a national study on the sentiments of
proposed legalization of the drug. In
1969, the general public opposed the
legalization of marijuana by a sizeable 84
to 12 percent margin. As of 2013 though,
the tide has turned dramatically, with
52 percent favoring legalization, and 45
percent in opposition.
What of the legalization of marijuana
for medicinal purposes? Ms. Sharer
pointed out that even with the best of
intentions, legislation cannot atone for
the corruption that waits in the wings
as so-called medicinal marijuana found
its way into the streets with the same
ease as illegal prescription drugs. She
also pointed out the discrepancies
between
medical
marijuana
and
other drugs, both prescription and
over the counter. Ancient Greeks and
Egyptians used white willow bark
as an analgesic. Today, we use the
same thing, standardized in strength
and dosage, but we call it aspirin.
Marijuana comes in several grades and
potencies, some of which can even vary
from plant to plant depending upon
the content of the active ingredient,
delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol. There
is no current methodology for the
standardization of potency or dosage of
marijuana. Another point made was the
politicization of marijuana. Practically
every state has seen at least some effort
to bring legalization of the drug to the
polling place, thereby making it fair
game for the Hollywood glitterati and
the media to spin opinion as fact. That
being the case, Ms. Sharer asked what
other drug, prescription or over the
counter, has ever been put to a public
referendum for approval? When did we,
as a state or nation, ever vote to allow
aspirin to be legalized? Yes, it sounds
silly on its surface, but the logic is
inescapable.
One by one, Ms. Sharer broke down
the talking points of the pro-pot agenda.
It has been espoused that cannabis is
non-addictive. Using 2013 data on
admissions to treatment centers for
chemical addiction, Ms. Sharer pointed
out that while alcohol and pain killers

ranked first and second, addiction to
marijuana was the third highest cause
for admissions, ranking it ahead of the
highly addictive cocaine. Marijuana
continues to be touted as harmless
compared to cocaine or alcohol. The
facts coming from the treatment centers
however, show that those admitted for
pot addiction have a higher mortality
rate than those admitted for addictions
to alcohol or cocaine.
The key to gaining a full grasp of all
the facts surrounding the marijuana
question rests with the individual. Those
who claim to be informed by celebrities
have their ignorance put on display with
every Hollywood drug overdose funeral,
or every trip to rehab made by the likes
of a Lindsey Lohan. The responsibility
belongs to the individual to research

all sides of the issue, then discriminate
between what is fact, what is fiction, and
what is political spin. It is not an easy
thing to do, but organizations like the
Healthy Choices Caring Communities
Coalition of Fulton County are always
ready to provide objective, factual
material that you will not hear from
Hollywood or the media.
Coalition meetings are held on the
second Tuesday of the month at 12 noon
at the Fulton County Administration
Building, Second Floor Conference
Room, 152 South Fulton Street, in
Wauseon. There is no cost to attend,
but the benefits gained in knowledge
are pricelessand life-saving.

ADAMhs Board, Others Pursuing

Dental Clinic & Other Health Care For Area
The Four County ADAMhs Board, Health Partners

of Western Ohio and others are working to open a
dental clinic that would accept Medicaid patients as
well as others, according to ADAMhs Board CEO Les
McCaslin. He gave the update at the boards monthly
meeting on Thursday (September 11). Originally,
opening a dental clinic somewhere in the four county
area was contingent on receiving a federal grant.
However, Health Partners, which already operates
two federally qualified health clinics in Defiance and
Bryan, has secured other funding and is working
with a variety of partners to consolidate existing
dental services and secure a location that could
accommodate a health center that would provide
primary care and some behavioral health services
along with dental.
McCaslin reported that progress is being made;
however, there is no time table when this project
will be completed. Currently, the only existing dental
clinic in the four county area that accepts Medicaid
and maintains regular office hours is operated by
the Henry County Health Department in Napoleon.
He also noted that very few dentists in the area will
accept new Medicaid patients.
ADAMhs
Board
spending
on
psychiatric
medications for clients who could not afford their
medications through Ohios central pharmacy
during the fiscal year that ended June 30 was nearly
$30,000 about $500,000 less than the amount that
the state had allocated. The savings was a result of
the ADAMhs Board partnership with Health Partners

of Western Ohio and its pharmacy.
McCaslin reported that the director of the Ohio
Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services
has allowed the board to reinvest last years savings
in other services and will do so again this year if
the board doesnt use all of its Central Pharmacy
allocation.
The board also heard a report prepared by Pam
Pflum, the boards quality improvement director,
noting that the number of suicides committed in
Defiance, Fulton, Henry and Williams counties
has dropped by nearly half since 2008. Based on
death certificate data collected by the county health
departments, 21 suicides were recorded in 2008
compared to 11 in 2013.
During that time period, the Four County Suicide
Prevention Coalition was started in 2010 and a
number of awareness efforts have been undertaken
to increase public understanding that depression and
other mental illnesses are treatable diseases and that
suicide is preventable.
McCaslin reported that Community Hospitals and
Wellness Center in Bryan might re-open the Archbold
Hospital as a 10-bed mental health facility. He
explained that would provide a local option for shortterm (up to five days) inpatient psychiatric care.
However, he noted that Community Hospitals must
secure a number of licensures before the Archbold
Hospital can be re-opened.
Since the Fulton Stress Unit closed, the board

has signed agreements with Rescue Crisis in Toledo
and Arrowhead Behavioral in Maumee for inpatient
services. Consequently, the board has access to
more beds than before. However, he noted it would
be desirable to have a local option instead of sending
patients to Toledo.
McCaslin said that the state auditors office recently
completed its annual audit of the ADAMhs Board.
The report had no findings or recommendations.
The ADAMhs Board approved several contracts
at Thursdays meeting, including two contracts with
Quadco Rehabilitation Center for employment and
vocational services. One is a Title XX contract for
$90,000 and the other totals $79,000.
The consolidation of First Call for Help services
with Family Services of Northwest Ohio on July 1
resulted in a new contract with Family Services of
Northwest Ohio that now totals $1.3 million. The
new contract covers both of the agencys divisions
that serve the four county area Four County Family
Center and Comprehensive Crisis Care (formerly First
Call for Help). McCaslin noted that the consolidation
of services will save the board about $268,000 during
the fiscal year.
The board also approved spending $1,700 to
support the youth advisory council of Fulton Countys
Healthy Choices Caring Communities coalition.

Celebrate Our Artisans Week At Sauder Village
From Tuesday, September 16 through

Sunday, September 21, Sauder Village
will host Celebrate Our Artisans Week
a special tribute to the community of
men and women who share their talents
with guests at Historic Sauder Village.
Throughout this special week guests can
watch the Sauder Village craftsmen at
work in their shops and each day there
will be an opportunity for guests to win a
hand-crafted item.
There arent many places in the
Midwest where you can get an in-depth
look at so many traditional crafts,
shared Kim Krieger, PR/Media Relations
Specialist. This event focuses on the
talented artists and craftsmen we have

working in the Historic Village each day.
We are pleased to be celebrating and
honoring these unique trades during
the Celebrate Our Artisans event at the
Village.
Historic Sauder Village is home to
many craftsmen from both traditional
and contemporary trades. Throughout
the Village guests can watch as historic
craftsmen demonstrate their skills in
places like the spinning shop, tin shop,
weaving shop and broom shop. There are
also woodworkers, quilters, coopers and
basket makers who come to the Village
to share their talents with guests of all
ages. The historic village is proud to also

be home to contemporary craftsmen
who not only follow the traditions of
their respective crafts but are also
developing revolutionary new techniques
and applications as well. These talented
craftsmen are some of the premiere artists
in their fields. Mark Matthews is notably
recognized for his work in glass, especially
glass spheres. Highly collected and valued,
his marbles are on display in museums
around the world. Mark Nafziger has been
the potter at Sauder Village for many
years and is known across the country for
making pottery that is both beautiful and
functional.
In addition to the usual demonstrations
in the craft shops, some of the Village
craftsmen
have
planned
special
demonstrations for the Celebrate Our
Artisans week. Another highlight of the
week will be the opportunity to win a
hand-made piece of art made by one of the
craftsmen at Sauder Village. Drawings will
also be held each day - providing guests
the opportunity to win a unique, handcrafted item from Sauder Village.

CHURCH & SPIRITUAL NEWS
Devotional Thought / Fellowship of Christian Athletes

BY: REX STUMP - YOU MATTER
I dont know if this story I read about President

Teddy Roosevelt is true,
but its funny. As the story supposedly goes, President Roosevelt is standing
in a presidential receivingline one evening, greeting
people as they entered a
particular function.
He
always had a man on his
left who would whisper
the name of each person
ahead of time so he could
greet each person by name. The President looked down
the line, turned to his aide and asked, Whos this fella?
The Presidents aide replied, Oh, you know him, Mr.
President, he made your pants.
As the man reached the front of the line, the president
greeted him, Oh, yes, Major Pants, were so glad youre
here today. Welcome to the White House.
As I said, Im not sure if that story is 100% true, but
Im sure that 100% of have felt at one time or another
that we are not that important. Someone forgets our
name or forgets who we are. We get overlooked for a position or a promotion. We are the only one in the room,
but we feel like we are lost in a crowd. Its that moment
when we feel insignificant. Maybe you are on a team, but
never get in. You feel like Joe Popular always gets a
shot, but not you. Been there? Of course you have, and
so has everyone else.
The Bible contains some incredible characters that by
name, we can quickly account for their heroic deeds or
popularity. But what about all those in the Bible with
unfamiliar names? What about all those NOT listed in
the Bible, the nobodies, that faithfully served God? We
all have heard of King David, especially the story of David
and Goliath. But what about the names of his mighty 30
warriors?
2 Samuel 23:8, These are the names of Davids
mightiest warriors. The first was Jashobeam the Hacmonite, who was leader of the Threethe three mightiest
warriors among Davids men. He once used his spear to
kill 800 enemy warriors in a single battle.
Ever hear of Jashobeam? Not exactly a common
name used todayor then. But did you hear what he
did? Killing 800 men in a battle at one time would be
difficult enough with a machine gun. The warrior Jashobeam took out 800 armed, skilled, fighting men with a
sword. Assuming that he killed one man every minute,
he would have engaged the enemy in hand to hand combat, nonstop, for more than 13 hours! That is incredible.
Today Jashobeam would be the top trending story on
social media!
At the end of his days King David didnt record his
famous battles, he recorded those who fought with him
known and unknown. Why? I believe David mentioned
Jashobeam and many others, because they mattered.
To you and I they may be a nobody, but to David they
were a somebody.
You may feel like a nobody but God says YOU are
a somebody. You matter! You have value. You have
significance.
Whether your class ranking is 1 or 98 - you matter.
Whether you are a starter or come off the bench
you matter.
Whether your parents tell you they love you or not
you matter.
Whether you believe it or now you matter!
You are a somebody, you have significancehow do
I know? For God so loved you (somebody), that He gave
His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ.thats how I know!
What you say and do matters, because you matter.
With that truth being shared go live with significance!
For more reading, check out;
Matthew 10:29-30;
John 3:16; and Luke 15.
Winning The Battle

For A Generation
DOES ANYONE CARE?
Has life got you down? Do
you feel all alone that no one
cares about you? Sometimes
life can bring you some difficult
circumstances and you can
become discouraged and you
may think that you do not
matter, that there is no one
who cares for you. Please read
on and be assured that you
are loved, that there is always
Someone who cares for you
One of the few old-growth
forests in northern Kentucky
is the Lloyd Wildlife Area in
Crittenden. No axe ever has
disturbed the 20-acre plot
and never will. It was set
aside by Curtis G. Lloyd, an
internationally known botanist. When he died, his ashes
were scattered here, near an impressive tombstone. One
side bears his name and says, Erected by himself, for
himself, in his own lifetime, and then there is a line from
Shakespeares A Midsummer Nights Dream: What fools
these mortals be. On the other side it reads, How many
days, months, years, nobody knows and nobody cares.
Of course, it is not true that nobody cares. Jesus cares.
If He marks the sparrows fall, then He knows and cares
about the smallest detail of our lives. The very hairs of your
head are numbered (Matt. 10:29-31). The old gospel song
is right: Oh yes, He cares. I know He cares.
Rick Jones, was former Executive Director of
Defiance Area Youth for Christ and serves
as a pastor of an area local church.
Montpeliers Sacred Heart Parish

Set To Begin RCIA Classes
St. Patricks Parish in Bryan and Sacred Heart Parish in Montpelier warmly welcome anyone interested
in learning more about the Catholic Faith to attend
informational sessions starting September 21. These
classes are called RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of
Adults). We meet weekly to learn and ask questions
about the church, hear the message of Jesus Christ
and how our lives can be guided by Catholic Christian
beliefs.
Joining RCIA does not mean you are promising to
become a Catholic. It encourages knowledge and understanding of the Catholic faith.
Contact Fr. Jim 419-636-1044 or Carol Breidenbach 49-337-1161 turtlelady@roadrunner.com if you
are interested or know someone who may be interested
in this faith journey.
