EXPLAINING LEAF PROTOCOL ... Mayor Steve Yagelski, flanked by Law Director Chris
Walker and Clerk of Council Becky Semer, asks citizens to refrain from raking leaves
into the gutters.

THE VILLAGE REPORTER
Members of the Montpelier Village

Council convened in regular session to
address a busy agenda on the evening
of October 27.
Council heard the first readings of
Ordinance 2177 and 2178 pertaining to
the raising of electrical and sewer rates
in the village. Ordinance 2177 allows
for the sewer rates to be adjusted on
January 1 and July 1, 2015. Ordinance
2178 allows for a revision of the
electrical rates immediately upon the
passage of the measure. Both measures
are advancing under standard rules
of reading. Unless considered an
emergency action, there will be two
more public readings of each measure
before a final vote.
Councilor Dan Clum elaborated
on the need for an electrical rate
adjustment, saying, What our rate
consultant has brought to our attention,
that a lot of people may not be paying
attention to, is that our power cost
adjustment has been over three cents
for a long, long time. Were pretty much
guaranteed that its not going to go
below three cents. So, rather than have
this huge power cost adjustment every
month, our rate consultant said that it
would probably be to our benefit to just
take some of that three cents and put it
into our rate. We know that electricitys
not going to go down.
Prior to entering the legislative
section of the agenda, Mayor Steve
Yagelski asked village residents to
refrain from raking leaves into the
gutter. He said that raking them to
the terrace is sufficient for the vacuum
trucks to pick them up, noting that
once in the gutter, they befoul the
storm sewer system.
Council then turned their attention

to the legislative section of the agenda,
and the first six items, all construction
change orders, set the tone for most
of the remainder of the section. The
first was for $10,984.38, and allowed
for catch basins at the intersection of
Columbia and Lawrence Streets to be
relocated as part of the underground
utilities pertaining to Phase IV of the
Combined Sewer Output Project.
The next three change orders totaled
$26,147.82, and drew the ire of the
Counselors. All three change orders
were submitted by FET Construction
Services as part of the Airport
Substation Expansion Project, and
commentary about what appeared to be
design team errors was quick to follow.
Upon review of the first change order
for $17,004.04 for rebar, Councilor Dan
Willis asked, This was an unexpected
thing? Counselor Clum said, I think
that we need to take a really good, hard
look at our design team for future work.
Errors of omissions are one thing,
but, interjected Counselor Nathan
Thompson; how do you forget rebar?
A very disgruntled Council approved
the three change orders for FET.
Council approved a change order of
$1,143.36 for Power Line Supply, who
agreed to furnish a part originally to
be supplied by Brownstown Electric
Supply. Council was presented with
a change order from Brownstown for
a decrease of $204.00 for the part for
which they say that they mistakenly
bid too low. Council is looking into the
bid process to see if a binding contract
was in place for the original price, with
potential action to follow.
Prior to adjournment, Council
agreed to the transfer of $15,000 to the
Police Pension Fund, and also agreed
to amendments made to the Montpelier
Fire
Department
Rules and Regulations
manual. These changes
included the addition
of probationary period
language
under
reinstatement
under
Section VII, and clarified
language in the Length of
Service Award Program
under Section XI.

Wauseon Rotary Club Raises

Money For Dorothy B. Biddle Park
PHOTO BY SHAR DIMICK, STAFF
WORKING TO RAISE MONEY ... Rotarians Eric Sauber, Jessica Schultz, and Andy
Slawinski work the auction.
By: Shar Dimick
Area residents gathered at Spangler
Arena to bid on a wide assortment
of donated merchandise at the 52nd
Wauseon
Rotary
Club
Auction,
Saturday, October 25.
From a pair of song birds to a golf
cart to a motorcycle to grab bags of
toys, the day-long auction offered
something for everyone. Jeff Rupp,
Past President of Wauseon Rotary, said
that from new products, items from
estates, furniture, food items, and gift
baskets, they auctioned off over 1000
items. He said while they work year
round to collect items for the auction,
picking up donations and storing them
in warehouses, the majority of the
donations come in the month before
the auction. On auction day around 60
members of the Wauseon Rotary Club
along with some of their spouses and
children volunteered their time to make
the event run smoothly. A few area
auctioneers volunteered their time as
well.
The proceeds from the auction are
earmarked for finishing Phase 2 of the
Dorothy B. Biddle Park project that
began two years ago. Rupp said that
Phase 2 includes four diamonds with

shorter distances to the home run
fence for boys and girls little league
and softball. The fields, including grass
infields with dirt baselines are already
complete. In addition, he said that the
lights are up, the sprinkler systems
are in, the pads for the dugouts are
poured and the concession stand with
restrooms is finished. Rupp indicated
that the funds raised from this auction
will pay for completing the fencing and
building the dugouts. The fields will be
ready for play next spring! said Rupp.
The club hoped to raise $50,000 at
the auction. Rupp said that while they
wont have the final numbers in for a
few weeks, it appears that they will hit
their goal despite a lower than usual
attendance. He said that this year they
gave out about 415 bid numbers, but
in other years it can be around 500. He
said, this year was a little slower than
normal; it was just too nice of a day
out. People were working in their yards,
harvesting crops, etc. We do better when
it is cold and rainy.
Over the last 10 years, the club has
invested nearly $5 million in the park.

Williams County Chapter Of Pheasants

Forever Holds First Annual Youth Hunt
On Saturday afternoon October 25,

2014, the Williams County Chapter of
Pheasants Forever held their first annual
Ohio opening youth hunt and it was an
outstanding success.
Headed up by Jayson Scantlen the
chapter invited 8 hunters from ages 12
thru 15 to go out hunting and experience
the thrill of being in the field while a
birddog worked the field to find what they
were there for, Pheasant, and to have the
opportunity to be in on the flush and
perhaps place a pheasant in the back of

their coat.
Kevin Carlin and Jayson Scantlen
both provided the dog handling and the
dogs to make the day one that wont soon
be forgotten. It was a beautiful day in
the field with a blue sky and cool breeze,
which only added to the fun.
The shooters got in a little warm up
with clay targets from a thrower to take
the edge off before getting started. While
the warm up was going in birds were
being planted in the fields full of cover to

get ready for the start.
Chili, cookies, and drinks were
provided by PF and prepared by the
highly acclaimed Joni Scantlen. Good
food kept everyone full and happy while
they waited their turn to hunt.
Before anyone got started hunting for
the day, a safety talk was held to remind
everyone about safe shooting zones,
safe gun handling at all times, safe gun
carries and if there were problems, what
to do and what to expect while out in the
field. Each hunter had someone with
them in the field to help and find them

when they were in the tall grass.
Of the 7 hunters, 2 were girls. They
showed that they could hold their own in
the field, both in hunting and shooting.
Most of the hunters had received their
hunter education training in previous
classes hosted by Pheasants Forever.
A total of 22 roosters were released
into the field for the kids to hunt. Not all
birds were put to bag, but all kids put
birds into the bag.
INFORMATION PROVIDED
PHOTOS PROVIDED
FIRST DAY ... The first pheasant of the day was put to bag by Ben Garrigus. Backing
Ben up was Katie Taylor with Bens dad Pete and Kevin Carlin handling Maggie the
wonder dog.
SUCCESSFUL HUNT ... Some of the hunters that participated in the 1st annual youth
opening pheasant hunt are (L to R): Ben Garrigus, Katie Taylor, Kaiden Apple, Jack
Zenz, Caleb Trubey, Owen Kitz, and Maggie the wonder dog. (Kendra Klingler missing).

Weddings: those special moments
celebrating love and romance, with
debonair grooms, stunning brides and
the standard wedding band. The 80s:
a decade filled with big hair, bright,
florescent colors and bold, daring moves
seen on every dance floor. Combine
these two phenomenon and you have
the backdrop for Edon High Schools
upcoming fall musical The Wedding
Singer.
Based on the hilarious 1998 romantic
comedy starring Adam Sandler opposite
Drew Barrymore, the musical follows the
story of New Jerseys favorite wedding
singer, Robbie Hart (whose life takes a
turn for the worse after being jilted at the
altar) and Julia (with a fiance of her own)
as they fight through poor timing and
misunderstandings to end up together.
The eagerly-awaited EHS production
features a vastly talented ensemble cast
with senior Alex Kirkingburg taking on
the lead character of Robbie and junior
Kaitlyn Sonneberger playing opposite
him as Julia. Rounding out the cast
are:
Shane Kohl (Sammy); Logan

North Central EAGLE Volunteer

Program Still Soaring After 15 Years
By: Helen Elkins
Birds of a feather
flock together and the
EAGLEs at North Central
are flying in to teach and
learn.
North
Central
School has a mentoring
program which stands
the test of time. Started
in
1999,
EAGLE
(Encouragement
Along
with Gained Learning
leads
to
Excellence)
pairs
up
volunteers
with
elementary
students needing a little
extra attention in the
classroom. This year,
many of the volunteers
began the week of August
25th
and
continue
as
teachers
identify
students requiring help.
With
over
50
volunteers,
including
junior high and high
school students, some
school
staff,
retired
teachers,
parents,
grandparents, and other
community
members,
there is a strong support
system which seems to
be the biggest reason for
the programs longevity.
Our North Central
Schools are very lucky to
have such a wonderful
community willing to
help our children, said
Angie Lashaway, the
Volunteer Coordinator.
Our
volunteers
are
invaluable to us! she
added.
Angie is in charge ohe
program and feels there
is strong support on all
sides. Teachers, school
staff, volunteers, and
students alike give this
program a huge thumbsup. The teachers are
amazing and so willing
to accommodate, she
said. One high school
teacher even gives up her
conference period one
day a week.
Julie Taylor, an aid
at North Central, said,
The teachers are very
supportive and the staff
is amazing to work with.
The school has over
30 junior high and high
school students who
volunteer during their
study hall, give up part
of their lunch hour, and
now help during the
after school program.
Volunteers are trained in
confidentiality and help
in many areas, such as
reading, letter sounds,
recognizing the alphabet,
math, spelling, and more.
The
program
is
designed
to
fit
the
volunteers where they
are comfortable and link
their academic interests
with
the
students
needs. This helps with
the
volunteer/student
bonding and learning.
Those who volunteer are
essential to the childrens
education. I wouldnt
BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT
Emerlyn Lou Waterston

John and Ashley Waterson of Pioneer, would
like to announce the birth of their daughter,
Emerlyn Lou Waterson, born October 20, 2014
at Dupont Hospital in Fort Wayne, IN.
Emerlyn weighed in at 7 lbs, 8 ounces and
measured 20 inches long. Her Grandparents are
Chuck and Stacie Moore and James and Joyce
Waterson and the late Nancy Waterson. Great
Grandparents are Dudley and Nancy Hillard and
Linda and the late Bob Moore.
be able to function at
the capacity required
without their help, said
an elementary teacher.
Guidance
counselor
Diane Veres said, I feel
the interaction with the
elementary
students
helps the older students
as much, if not more,
than the younger ones.
The
older
students
enjoy the time with the
younger ones; they are
more than willing to
spend time, not only
helping, but establishing
a
relationship
with
someone and being a role
model for them!
Some student tutors
are thinking of becoming
teachers so being a
volunteer helps. One
high school volunteer
said, I like being able to
help someone learn.
The students are not
the only ones bonding.
One adult volunteer said,
I like the interaction with
the children. I feel if you
can have a positive effect
on them at this age it will
help them in the future.
Its important to let them
know other people care.
The kids truly love the
volunteers.
Over
the
years,
teachers have seen an
improvement
in
test
scores. They see the need
for this kind of program
in schools. One teacher
said, The volunteers are
there to give additional
one on one support that
the students are unable
to get in the classroom.
It
pays
off
for
everyone. The teachers
get much needed help
for their students, the
student
volunteers
learn the importance of
volunteering, and the
children gain confidence
in their abilities. Diane
said,
The
EAGLE
Volunteer program is
a win-win program for
everyone involved! It is a
huge asset to our school
system!
One adult volunteer,
who has volunteered
since
the
beginning,
said, Over the years Ive
enjoyed watching the
children gain confidence
and see their progress
from the beginning of the
school year through the
end. This program has a
solid foundation with an
immense support team
to encourage children to
learn, grow, and someday
give back.
For questions about
the EAGLE Volunteer
program, or if interested
in
tutoring,
please
contact Angie Lashaway
at North Central Schools.

Incentive To Raise Money

NEW STYLE ... Pioneer Cub Scout Pack 13 got a special incentive recently to
encourage them to sell more than their goal of $12,000 in popcorn this year. Cub
Scout Master Cory Rademacher told the scouts that if they met their goal, he
would shave his hair. The goal was met and exceeded, so he allowed each of the
Cubs to shave off a bit of his hair. The support of the Pioneer community and the
Helen Elkins
surrounding area was overwhelming. The Scouts are extremely appreciative of the

Cruise-In For Cancer A Success

For Montpeliers C.K. Technologies
.FR
REFLECTIONS OF THE PAST

1928 Montpelier Girls Basketball
PHOTO PROVIDED
THANK YOU VERY MUCH ... Jeanette Hull, of C.K. Technologies accepts a check for
twenty percent of Wynns Restaurants proceeds for the event from Josh Fiser.
By T.J. Hug
Susan Goodman Komen, at age thirtythree, received a diagnosis from doctors
that was as chilling as it was confusing.
After all, in 1976, few people knew much
of anything about such a thing, let alone
how to deal with it.
You see, Susan had Breast Cancer.
Four years later, she died from
her condition, with her sister Nancy
Goodman Brinker creating the Susan
G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation,
so that those who would come to share
Susans diagnosis would be better
prepared for the fight ahead.
Now known simply as Susan G.
Komen For the Cure, the organization has
seen several individuals and companies
contribute to their cause.
Recently,
C.K.
Technologies
Montpelier branch, decided to do their
part as well.
The company held a Cruise-In for
Cancer on October 24, with proceeds
going to the Komens charity. Plant
Manager Jeremie Thiel orchestrated
the event, with team members Melanie
Burzynski, Greg Lee, Vincent KlineParker, Krystal Hake, Carrie Arnold,
Aimee Thorpe, Shelby Thompson, and
Jeanette Hull all proving vital to the
events organization as well.
Most of the cars on display for the
event were provided by the Antique
Automobile Club of Americas Ohio
Commodore Perry Chapter, though some
workers elected to bring their own classic
vehicles as well. C.K. set up a 50/50
raffle and prize drawings, and sold
t-shirts printed by Hammer Athletics in
an effort to raise funds for the cause.
Local vendors Cookies on Demand
and Wynns Family Restaurant were

invited to cater the Cruise-In. Between
the two, those in attendance were treated
to hot dogs, chilli, macaroni topped with
bacon, and an assortment of home-made
cookies. In a truly charitable act, both
vendors donated twenty percent of their
sales to C.K.s Komen fund.
When approached by C.K. about
the charity event, a plethora of local
organizations stepped in to sponsor the
Cruise-In. Aside from Cookies on Demand
and Wynns, who both took up the
sponsorship mantle as well, Covington
Box, Gofer Auto, Grainger, Grote
Industries, H.E. Rudy, Kaiser Aluminum,
Maumee Valley Vending, McKechnie
Vehicle Components, Mohre Electronics,
Plastic Forming Company, Plastic Service
Centers, Polyone Distribution, Sabie
Innovative Plastics, and the Montpelier
Chamber of Commerce all agreed to
sponsor the event.
Members of various village council
members and chambers of commerce,
as well as WEDCO board members, were
invited to be on hand for the Cruise-In.
A lot of them showed up to the event to
show their support for the cause.
The Cruise-In raised over $700 for
Breast Cancer research overall, a strong
showing for a private event. But it was
the support shown be the communities
of Williams County C.K. was able to
draw that is the real story here. So many
organizations came together to make
the Cruise-In possible, with every one
of them aiming to raise awareness of
Breast Cancer.
And Susan Komen had to be smiling
down upon them all.

Hilltop Elementary To Host

Veterans Day Program
Hilltop Elementary School in West
Unity will be hosting a Veterans Day
program on Tuesday, Nov. 11 at 1:30
P.M. in the school gymnasium. We would
like to give special recognition to all those
who have served our country in war and
in peace. Elementary students in grades
3 through 6 will be singing patriotic
music and the 5th and 6th graders will
be presenting a program which includes
the Missing Man Honors Ceremonya
tribute to American POWs and MIAs. We
are also excited to have our High School
band leading us in our National Anthem
and performing God Bless the U.S.A.
Our guest speaker for this event will
be Mr. Paul Kyser, a 1968 graduate
of Bryan High School and Technical
Education/Special Education instructor

at Hilltop High School for 31 years. Mr.
Kyser served in the United States Army
and was classified as Specialist 5
Small Arms Specialist in charge of Arms
Rooms (ammunition and weapons). He
served in Vietnam from Dec. 4, 1969
until November 9, 1970. Interestingly,
Mr. Kyser was registered originally as a
conscientious objector because of his
religious affiliation, but in November
1968 he changed his classification to 1-A.
Our students are very excited to show
our veterans how much we appreciate
their service, and they have been
practicing every day. The public is invited
to this very special program.

Improving
financial
conditions
at Quadco are continuing according
to Bruce Abell, Executive Director.
Speaking to board members at the
regular monthly meeting of the Quadco
Administrative and Non-Profit Boards
on Tuesday (Oct. 28), Mr. Abell pointed
to figures that show a growth in their
finances, just as they had in the previous
month.
Mr. Abell said the result has come
from the tireless efforts of people
throughout the center.
Each department has contributed
to this, he told the board members,
pointing to the positive financial report.
I hope to see this continuing into the
months ahead, he said.
In his report to the board members,
Mr. Abell noted the strength they have
seen in the sales of cardboard pallets
made by people at the center. He said
there has been an increased interest in
cardboard pallets, and he expects more
companies will want to use them since
they are clean and easily recycled.
Program Director Philip Zuver noted
that the center currently makes 63
different sizes of cardboard pallets and
will soon be adding 61 additional sizes
to meet the demands of buyers, virtually
doubling the sizes they can build.
After finding transportation requests
low and difficulty in obtaining drivers,
Mr. Abell told the board members he
was recommending that the center
discontinue
offering
individual
transportation services through The
Ride in Williams County.
We
havent
generated
very
much interest in people wanting
transportation through The Ride, and
weve had a hard time getting drivers,
he told the board members. He said that
often the requests are for single trips, so
providing those rides has proven costly.
He said the charges fail to cover the cost
to provide the service.
Mr. Abell said the center would not
be reapplying for the grants this year for
The Ride.
He told the board members that what
they have found in operating the service
is that the Williams County agencies
already provide rides for people and the
center never found that many unmet
needs that could be provided through
The Ride.
The center does plan to continue to
be the transportation plan coordinator

and provide trips for groups when it is
possible.
The policy for board self-evaluation
was reviewed. Mr. Abell noted that most
board members gave high marks in the
evaluation questions. After looking at
the results, he said that the members
indicated they may want to explore more
about how the strategic three-year plan
relates to decisions they make.
The board members also mentioned
that they wanted to review board
attendance and discuss whether to
extend the number of terms a member
can serve.
Presently, a board member can serve
up to 3 three-year terms, and a board
member asked if they should consider
changing it to 4 three-year terms.
Mr. Abell said the by-laws could be
changed to allow the extension. Two
board members who are about to reach
the end of their third term indicated
that they were planning to complete
their service, while a couple other board
members said they were interested in
continuing to serve on the board.
Mr. Abell reminded the board
members that just because the number
of terms was raised to four terms, it
wouldnt mean that a board member
would have to complete them. The board
member and the board can choose if
they want to continue each of their
terms.
The board members decided they
would continue their discussion of the
matter at their next meeting.
Copies of the revised budget for 2015
were distributed to the board members.
Mr. Abell said the board members could
take time to review the budget and
prepare to take action on it at the next
meeting.
Bill Priest, Director of Marketing,
said the Inservice training day on Nov.
3 will include a variety of topics. Staff
members will be in sessions that include
the One Step at a Time organization,
activities that make holidays special,
delegated staff, Kailtlyns Cottage, NAMI
and the Health Partners of Western
Ohio, and writing UI reports.
The next meeting of the board will
be on Nov. 25 in the Stryker main
conference room.

Both
Williams
and
Fulton
County
once
again
saw
improved
unemployment rates that
moved each county from
5.0% in August to 4.7% in
September. This marks
the first month in some
time that either county fell
below the 5.0% mark. The
identical unemployment
ratings leave Williams and
Fulton Counties at 49th
and 50th, showing almost
no movement, in the state
ranking system.
This improvement of
unemployment
ratings
is echoed both state and
nation wide with the U.S.
rate at 5.9%, down from
6.1% in August and 7.2%
one year ago. Similarly,
Ohios unemployment, at
5.6%, is down from 5.7%
in August and 7.4% 12 one
year ago. Unemployment
rates fell in 79 of Ohios 88
counties.
Statewide, unemployment ranged from a low
of 2.9% in Mercer County

to a high of 10.1% in
Monroe County. Counties
in Ohio with the lowest
rates included Mercer
(2.9%), Holmes (3.4%),
Auglaize (3.5%), Delaware
(3.7%), Hancock (3.8%),
Union (3.9%), and Putnam
(3.9%). Counties with the
highest rates included
Monroe (10.1%), Meigs
(7.7%), Pike (7.6%), Scioto
(7.2%),
and
Jefferson
(7.1%).
Throughout the state,
job growth was seen in
state government (+6400);
trade,
transportation,
and
utilities
(+4400);
manufacturing
(+3600);
other services (+1100);
and construction (+1000).
This growth outweighed
losses in professional and
business services (-3600);
local government (-3400),
education
and
health
services (-2100), leisure
and hospitality (-700),
information (-400), and
financial activities (-300).
No change was seen in
federal government or
mining and logging. With

the growth the number of
unemployed for the month
was 319,000, down from
324,000 in August and
429,000 one year ago.

at the Fulton County Child Support
Enforcement Agency is the financial
support of children by eliminating these
barriers, thus forming the Offender ReEntry Program.
Some of the barriers that persons

students through local DECA and Vo-Ag
programs. Carl used this opportunity to
teach the students effective leadership,
common-sense management skills,
and hard work ethic while cultivating
a participative spirit. Though Carl has
retired from the hardware business,
Sharon continues to work 3 days at
Ace hardware. They both say that the
store was hard work, but fun.
Mrs. Buehrer also serves as the
secretary, organist and pianist for their
church in Winameg. She has served as
Co-Chairman of the Christian Womens
Fellowship (CWF) and is a long-time
member. Sharon enjoys sewing and
making quilts with her fellow church
members and is part of the needlework
group, the Samplers. During her
childrearing days, she volunteered at
Pike school as a cook and playground

aide. Additionally, her service with the
Migrant program has made a positive
impact on many children.
In his retirement, Carl enjoys working
in his gardens and spending time
with the family. The couple is blessed
with 5 grandchildren and 2 greatgrandchildren. The Buehrer family has
been having family reunions for over
100 years. Both he and Sharon are
active in their church, Pike township,
Aetna Grange, Fulton County Fair
Foundation, the American Legion and
Fulton County Historical Society.
After graduating from Chesterfield
Dover High School, Carl served in the
United States Army as an Operation
and Intelligence specialist. Sharons
schooling began in a one-room school
house. In the 2nd grade she moved to
Pike, and later graduated from Delta
High School.
When asked what their advice is
for being so successful, the couple
shared, Work as a team, put aside
individualism.(Carl) Life is what
you make it, and only you can do it.

The former Dyer McDermott building,

located
on
downtown
Wauseons
Beech Street, has been acquired by
the Wauseon Downtown Association
(WDA). The WDA supports downtown
businesses and brings cultural and
educational events to the downtown
area.
Were very proud of our downtown,
said James Kerr, President of the WDA
since 2012, We need to promote the
history of the former Dyer McDermott
building in context of preserving
downtown Wauseon.
In the early 1900s this building was
known as the station for the Toledo and
Indiana Railway and its trolley cars
were a primary source of transportation.
Inside the building the floor was raised
up so patrons could easily step onto
the street cars. The raised platform in
the building has never been altered.
Additionally, Wauseons Christmas Star
was first seen on the front of the T & I
Station.
The WDA is in the process of listing
the former Dyer McDermott building on

the National Registry of Historic Places.
Wauseons Fulton County Courthouse,
Jones Reed Touvelle House, the George
S. Clemet building, and the Railroad
Depot, which served the Lakeshore and
Michigan Southern Railroad, are already
on the registry.
Intended uses for the building by
the WDA include community based
meetings, sponsored events, or even an
art gallery. Currently, the WDA helps
bring the community together using
downtown Wauseon as the stage to
host three annual family events; the
Amazing Race, Farmers Market and the
Christmas Parade.
Matching grant money to rebuild
the roof and other necessary repairs on
the former Dyer McDermott building
is being pursued by the WDA. These
repairs will help keep the rich heritage
of Wauseons downtown alive for future
generations.

MORE WAUSEON AREA NEWS
Wauseon Exempted Village School

District was recently informed that
Wauseon Middle School was one of 35
Ohio Schools designated as an Ohio
High Performing School of Honor and
an Ohio School of Promise. The school
is the only recipient in the four county
region to receive two awards in the
categories of Reward Schools from the
Ohio Department of Education for 2014.
When you see that WMS was the
only school in the area to receive
acknowledgement for both the long
range award (5 Years) for School of
Honor and the short term award (2014
results) for the School of Promise, you
can get a sense of the efforts our school
community, stated Mr. Larry C. Brown,
Superintendent. Congratulations to the
Wauseon Middle School students, staff,
parents and supportive community
members.
We
enjoy
celebrating
successes here at Wauseon and this is
an outstanding example of academic
growth and progress.
High Performing Reward Schools
are Title I eligible and must have a 90
percent or better average proficiency
rate over a five year period on the Ohio
Achievement Assessment and Ohio
Graduation Test plus meet several
other criteria established by the Ohio
Department of Education. Both of these
programs look at proficiency in reading
and math for all student groups in a
school.
Mr. Joe Friess, Wauseon Middle
School Principal, shared his thoughts
by stating, To say that receiving the
recognition last year was humbling is
an understatement. The emotion of
receiving dual recognition this year
is impossible to put in words. Upon
receiving the designation last year of
High Performing School of Honor, WMS
had set a goal of repeating that feat.
Not many school buildings in the State
of Ohio receive this kind of honor even
once. It is even more rare to accomplish
it for two years in a row, so we knew
it was setting a high standard. To add
the designation of School of Promise is
a further tribute to the hard work and
dedication of the students, parents, and
K12 staff of this school district. The
pride I feel in the students, teachers and
community right now is overwhelming.
But the pride I feel in receiving these
recognitions is secondary to that of
being a part of such an outstanding
school and community.
Schools of Promise and the
prestigious High Performing Schools of
Honor are examples of what can happen
when principals, teachers, parents
and community members all believe
that children can learn. Education is
making a difference, and these teachers,
students, leaders and communities are

making a difference for the boys and
girls in their local schools, said Dr.
Richard A. Ross, superintendent of
public instruction. Im especially proud
of what these schools have achieved
during a year when we raised learning
standards for students and launched
higher accountability measures for
schools.
Below is the congratulatory letter
sent from State Superintendent Richard
Ross to Mr. Friess on October 29, 2014:
Dear Principal Freiss:

I am pleased to tell you that Wauseon
Middle School has distinguished itself as
a school where success is possible for
every student. The Ohio Department of
Education has named your school both a
School of Promise and a High Performing
School of Honor based on your 2014 Ohio
School Report Card.
Both of these programs look at
proficiency in reading and math for all
student groups in a school, The Schools
of Promise initiative considers the
most recent years reading and math
performance, while the Schools of Honor
Program considers the five most recent
years of reading and math performance.
For more on selection criteria, visit
education.ohio.gov.
We all know that student poverty is
strongly linked to low student achievement
and that schools with a hugh number of
economically disadvantaged pupils have
special challenges. Yet Wauseon Middle
School is closing the achievement gaps
among all students.
This kind of achievement takes
bold leadership and the commitment of
teachers, students, and their families. I
commend you for that leadership. Also,
please pass along my thanks to others
who contributed to your schools success.
Together you are building a wonderful
legacy for your community.
I urge you to share the lessons
youve learned with other Ohio schools.
By learning from each other, all of our
schools can better prepare Ohios girls
and boys - from every background - for
college, other postsecondary training,
jobs, and life.
In the coming weeks, you will
receive both School of Promise and High
Performing School of Honor banners to
display in your school building. If you
have questions about the banner or
award, please contact Sherry Panizo in
our Office of Policy and Research at (614)

WONDERMENT ... Hayden Herge, a student from the Leggett Street Head Start AM2
class, meets Evie, the ewe lamb.
By: Timothy Kays
The students of the
Leggett Street School Head
Start Program were in for
quite the surprise on the
morning of October 30.
As a part of the school
Reading Is Fundamental
Week activities, the Cramer
family of Alvordton brought
over several of their farm
animals to give the kids a
hands-on experience that
coincided with their current
farm animal studies.
Kids were able to hold
a young hen and barn
kittens, while petting an
ewe lamb, a duck, and a
crowd favorite that wanted
to get around and meet
everybodyTallulah
the
pygmy goat.
Activities included the
examination of a egg, laid
by one of the hens on the
farm. Although the egg
unfortunately
did
not
survive the event intact, it
was quickly forgotten as
the kids got to try on the
beekeeper suit. The next
event was as special for the
adults as it was the kids.
Those who volunteered
were each given a handful
of cracked corn, which
Tallulah eagerly nibbled
right out of their hands.
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT ... Kylee Steele, from the Leggett

Street Head Start PM 1 class, had fun holding a barred
rock chicken.
The looks of wonderment
on the faces of the kids was
priceless.
Ms.
Jayme
Pfluger,
who helped coordinate
the event, explained the
Reading Is Fundamental
activities, saying, This
week is a special week for
our children. It is Reading
Is Fundamental week, and
we are studying animals.
Books have generously
been donated to all of our
Head Start children. Each
child will leave school at
the end of the week with a

free book to enjoy with their
families. The Northwestern
Ohio Community Action
Commission Head Start is
funded by the Department
of Health and Human
Services/Administration
for Children and Families
Head Start. The grant
amount is 80 percent of the
program cost used for this
project.

Beacon Of Hope Benefit For CHPs Hospice

Patient Care Fund A Resounding Success
By: Timothy Kays
In the first century, the

Apostle Jude wrote a letter
to Christians that wound
up becoming one of the
shortest books in the Bible.
In that letter, he warned of
those who remain worldly,
but he also charged those
of the faith to serve their
fellow man. One verse,
Jude 1:22, particularly
stands outAnd of some
have compassion, making
a difference.
On the evening of
October 23, Community
Health
Professionals
(CHP) Hospice presented
their first annual Beacon
of Hope banquet and
fundraiser at the Bryan
Eagles. What does the
admonition of Jude 1:22
have to do with CHP
Hospice? Everything and
then some. It is practically
their
foundational
statement of purpose, all
wrapped up in eight words
that were written down
two millennia ago.
Critical or life-limiting
medical conditions can
strain or rend the fabric
of even the strongest
family ties. The physical,
emotional and spiritual
strains that come with
such situations can be as
taxing to the caretakers
as they are to the actual
patient. It is here that
Hospice steps in to ease
the stresses upon both the
patient and the caretaker.
Prior to the beginning
of the banquet, Krista
Steiner, the CHP Hospice
Coordinator, spoke about
the purpose of Hospice. It
is care for the terminally
ill in the last days, weeks
or months of life. We care
for them holistically, with
a whole team. When it
comes to Hospice, a whole
team covers every base
imaginable, and a few
that are not. As Krista
said it, Its nurses. Its
social workers. We have
the Medical Director. We
have massage therapy. We
have all different types of
ancillary personnel to take
care of a patient, so that
they can stay at home.
With
everything
that Hospice offers, its
obviously expensive, right?
Wrong. CHP Hospice is
a non-profit Hospice, so
patients arent going to
be billed for our services,
said Krista. Medicare
has a wonderful Hospice
benefit. It covers all that
we need to take care of
a patient. It covers their
equipment.
It
covers
their medication and the
nursing time. It covers for
a certain amount of home
health aides to come in.
This is why we do this
fundraiser for the Patient
Care Fund. If theres
someone
who
doesnt
have insurance, then the
Patient Care Fund covers
that for them. Currently,
20 to 22 patients per
day are cared for by the
Williams
County
CHP
Hospice staff in their own
homes, nursing homes,
or in-patient Hospice care
facilities.
As
previously
mentioned, the care is not
just for the patient though.
Our social worker does
bereavement for thirteen
months after the death of
a loved one, Krista said.
Its care for not just the
patient, but the whole
family.
Why is an evening
like this, and an event
like Beacon of Hope so
important?
As
Krista
explained,
There
are
people out there who
dont
have
insurance;
they dont have the means
to pay for Hospice care.
What we are doing tonight
raises funds that stay in
the Bryan and Williams
county fund to help those
who dont have any type
of insurance. Doesnt the
program called Obamacare
take care of this? There
are still some out there
without
insurance,
Krista said. Some have
limited Hospice benefits.
They may have just a
few thousand dollars in
a Hospice benefit, not an
unlimited benefit. Hospice
care can be expensive.
The very last week of life
is the most expensive
week. We have daily,
maybe twice daily nursing
visits it depends upon
what is needed. We use a
lot of medications to keep
patients calm and painfree. Whatever equipment
they need, were taking
care of all that. The funds
raised during the Beacon
of Hope event helps fill in
the blanks left behind by
insurance shortfalls.
Another
service
offered through Hospice
is the Angel Foundation.
Where the Make A Wish
Foundation
provides
amazing
opportunities
for children with lifethreatening illnesses, the
Angel Fund does the same
for adults. Its kind of
neat, said Krista of the
program. Recently, the
Angel Foundation paid
for someone to go on the
Honor Flight. He really
wanted to do that before
he passed. Hospice pays
for that, and thats why an
event like Beacon of Hope
is so important.
Of Hospice and its
programs and services,
there are important things
that Krista wants the
public to know. Its about
sooner than later. People
are scared by the word
Hospice. They think that
it means the last week
of life. We try to get the
word out that we actually
see people for weeks and
months. The sooner we can
get in, the more services
we can avail to them, the
more care we can give to
the family, the more that
they can come to trust us.
Its so that in the middle
of the night, if they call
us at 2 a.m. for symptom
management,
well
be
there. Were the eyes and
ears of the physicians, so
its really helpful for people
to know that theyre not
going to have to go back to
the emergency room. What
do you do though? Before
Hospice, what do you do if
youre really sick? Sooner
rather than later would be
really helpful.
Fundraising
began
upon
entrance
with
a silent auction that
featured over fifty items
and services donated by
So Sweet and Hibbard
Excavating of Fayette,
Mudsock Mercantile of
Edon, Riverside Greens of
Stryker, and many more.
Appetizers were provided
by Classic Catering by Kim
Brown, who also provided
a catered banquet fit for
royalty.
At the completion of
the meal, the packed
banquet room heard from
representatives of three
families whose loved ones
required the services of CHP
Hospice. In each instance,
the family representative
used familiar words to
describe Hospice, and their

representatives. The words
became oft repeated, but
that repetition indicated
consistency in their service.
Those
words
included
compassion,
comfort,
kind, love. understanding,
supportive, spiritual and
angels. That word, angels,
seemed to be the most
prolifically used adjective
in describing Hospice staff
members by those who
saw and spoke with them
the
most.
Hearkening
back to the Apostle Jude
and his charge to show
compassion and make a
difference, that charge has
been more than met by
CHP Hospice personnel.
They do it 24 hours a
day 365 days a year, but
they need the community
financial support to ensure
that their services can be
made to any and all in
need.
After
the
families
presentations,
the
second phase of on-site
fundraising began with the
live auction conducted by
the Carlin Company, and
emceed by Rick Small of
Mix 98.1. This turned out
to be as hilarious as it
was beneficial. The second
item on the block was
a homemade pecan pie,
donated by MoJos. As Mr.
Small read the information
card, he asked where
MoJos was in town. When
he was informed that it
was near West Unity,
he said, Oh over by
West Unity? So its in the
suburbs? I love Williams
County! Its a homemade
pecan pie from MoJos.
Retail value $316,000!
As the audience laughed,
Mr. Small held up the info
card and said, Holy cow
thats what they printed
on here! So you ought to at
least start at $500!
Was this entertainment
disguised as fundraising,
or the other way around?
It was actually more than
that. It was something
more complete, with a
feast fit for a king thrown
in for good measure.
As the late coach of
the North Carolina State
mens hoops team, Jimmy
Valvano, said in what is
now an immortal oratory,
To me, there are three
things we all should do
every day. We should do
this every day of our lives.
Number one is laugh. You
should laugh every day.
Number two is think. You
should spend some time
in thought. Number three
is you should have your
emotions moved to tears,
could be happiness or joy.
But think about it. If you
laugh, you think, and you
cry, thats a full day. Thats
a heck of a day.
October 23, the day of
the Beacon of Hope event
that was a heck of a day
by Jimmy Vs standards.
And to think that that his
requirements for a heck
of a day all took place in

Make Reservations Now For Holiday

Lantern Tours At Sauder Village
Archbold, OH Reservations are now being accepted

Village. This annual celebration of a turn-of-the-century
Christmas has become a holiday tradition for families
throughout the region. The evening program will be take
place on November 29, December 5, 6, 12 and 13 from

experience the holiday customs and celebrations of the
1900s and hear stories about Christmas traditions of
days gone by.
Again this year, the flicker of a candle-lit lantern
will light the way as a costumed guide takes groups
on a journey to meet historical characters in the 1910
Homestead, the District 16 Schoolhouse, St. Marks

Church and the Elmira Depot. Guests can help string
popcorn in the Grime Homestead, make a paper chain
to decorate a tree in the school, join in a hymn sing and
receive a special gift appropriate to the early 1900s in the
Village Church.
The Sauder Village Gift Shop, Laubers General Store
and Herb Shop will be open during the Lantern Tours
for holiday shopping. Guests may also want to consider
making it a weekend get-away with an overnight stay at
the Sauder Heritage Inn with the Holiday Lantern Tour
Package.

also being offered for the holiday season. On November
22 and November 29 there is a Gingerbread House

CHURCH & SPIRITUAL NEWS
Devotional Thought / Fellowship of Christian Athletes

BY: REX STUMP - FEAR FACTOR!
Spiders, clowns, monsters, and the dark are things

that can provoke fear and a good scream. Then again
cancer, failure, death, and loneliness are a few other
things that will awake fear and a scare. It seems you
dont have to turn far to find something that will bring
fear into your life. I honestly dont know why people pay
money to watch scary movies or enter haunted houses.
I have enough things wanting to usher fear into my life,
I dont need to pay money and invite more. What is it
that frightens you? What are you fearing today?
In the world of athletics there are many things to
fear including failure, losing, injury, getting cut or even
getting fired if you are a coach. Can you name a few
more? Fear doesnt care where you live or what you
do. Fear doesnt discriminate with race, gender, or age.
Fear doesnt care how good your team is or isnt. Fear
could care less about your finances or your looks. Fear
is the Devils best friend and an enemy of Jesus Christ.
Fear wants to paralyze and destroy your life.
There is a story about Jesus walking on water in
the book of Mark chapter 6. While Jesus was alone
praying in the hills, the disciples were in a boat in the
middle of the lake. It was late at night, and they were
in serious trouble. A storm approached out of nowhere
and they were battling the wind and the waves. So
at 3:00am Jesus walks on the water, taking a stroll
across the wild wavy lake! The Bible actually says that
as he walked on the water, He intended to go past
them. What? He was just going to pass them and keep

on walking. But He didnt. Why? Because they cried
out to him in fear! They first thought He was a ghost.
Remember, they were just getting to know Jesus. He
hadnt shown them this trick yet. We have the Bible so
we know all about His power and this doesnt faze us at
all. But it shook them!
They were terrified! They cried out to Jesus. And
the one who was behind them, with them, and goes
before them said, Dont be afraid! Take courage! I am
here! Then he simply climbed in the boat. He could
have finished his stroll. But instead he choose to prove
his presence and sit in the boat with them. The storm
ceased, they were amazed, and fear was gone!
Take courage expresses not just a command to be
bold, but to find comfort, and to be of good cheer. Fear
wipes the smile off our face and makes us uncomfortable. Jesus says take courage - in other words find
comfort in me, smile, Im here.
Life is tough and we can all find things to fear, not
just this time of the year but every day. Find comfort
and peace with Jesus Christ! The one who can walk on
water and calm storms goes behind you, with you, and
in front of you. Invite him into your life (your boat) and
smile. He is God...He is with us!

6:45-52; and Romans 8:38
The Fayette UMC Brings Christian Concert

Carry Me Tour To Bull Thistle Country
PHOTOS BY ANGI WALKUP, STAFF
CARRY ME TOUR ... Contemporary Christian recordingartist Josh Wilson was the headliner at the Fayette UMC
concert held at Fayette High School on Thursday evening
during the Carry Me Tour presented by Compassion
International. Also featured were Citizen Way and Dan
Bremnes.
By: Angi Walkup
The Carry Me Tour with
Christian
contemporary
musicians Josh Wilson,
Citizen Way, and Dan
Bremnes found their way
to the little community
of Fayette on Thursday
evening. Hosted by the
Fayette United Methodist
Church,
the
uplifting
concert was nearly soldout as families found their
seats among very talented
musicians singing their
message of Gods love.
Josh
Wilson,
a
2012 ASCAP Christian
Songwriter/Artist of the
year and recording artist
has an impressive track
record in CCM with over
200,000
career
album
sales, half a million track

sales, over 2.5 million
YouTube views and 4 top-5

AC singles.
Citizen Way was formed
in 2004 and is comprised
of two sets of siblings. Their
latest single How Sweet
The Sound is currently
#4 on Christian AC and
climbing.
Dan Bremnes released
his first full-length album
Your Strength in 2010
which received radio play
across Canada and 6
GMA Canada Covenant
Nominations
including
Male Vocalist Of The
Year. He has since toured
with artists such as Jars Of
Clay, Mercy Me and most
recently
Steven
Curtis
Chapman on The Glorious
Unfolding Tour. His new
single on Capitol CMG is
titled Beautiful and will
release in July 2014.
Among the amazing
sights and sounds of
the Carry Me Tour,
was an introduction to
Compassion International;
a child-advocacy ministry
that pairs compassionate
people with those who are
suffering from poverty.

The
ministry
releases
children from spiritual,
economic,
social,
and
physical
poverty.
The
goal is for each child to
become a responsible and
fulfilled adult. Compassion
International
asks
for
sponsorship to children
that are in need in other
countries. With different
areas
of
sponsorship;
child survival program,
leadership
development
and child sponsorship,
it gives a child the
opportunity to have a
better life than what
they would have without
the
sponsorship.
This
ministry is near and dear
to recording-artist Dan
Bremnes, as he and his wife
are sponsors that recently
met their sponsor child in
the Dominican Republic.

Winning The Battle

For A Generation
WHAT GOOD HAVE YOU DONE?
As I reflect back
on over 36 years of
ministry, there have
been many good times
and some trying ones.
It is the trying ones that
somehow in my mind
and heart have had
the power to linger, to
cause pain and anger
to give rise in my life.
Sometimes it may
have been something
someone said about me
or my ministry that was
untrue, hurtful and
there was no offer of
confession, forgiveness
and reconciliation. Or the times when our children
became the object of someones sarcasm and
ridicule, simply because of decisions my wife and I
had made for them, and tragically, they paid for. It
was easier for an adult to use their age, education
and the poison of their tongues to confront the
child instead of their parents.
I could write a lot about what Ive seen and heard
in the communities Ive ministered in but instead
Ive been drawn by the lessons given by, Silence
Dogood, someone who lived over two hundred
years ago. Perhaps there are some of you that will
appreciate like I did Ms. Dogoods writings
In 1722, a middle-aged lady began writing
humorous observations about society and the New
England elites in her local newspaper. Her letters
were quite popular, so she became quite popular.
Her name was Silence Dogood. As it turns out, she
was not a lady and was not middle aged. She was
the invention of 16-year-old, Benjamin Franklin.
I dont know why he chose that pseudonym, but
there are surely times when we need to observe
silence and do good, letting our actions speak for
us.
What good have you done? Regarding doing
good, the scriptures speak to us 3 John 1:11
(NASB77), 11 Beloved, do not imitate what is evil,
but what is good. The one who does good is of God;
the one who does evil has not seen God.
Rick Jones, was former Executive Director of
Defiance Area Youth for Christ and serves
as a pastor of an area local church.
