Wauseons Thourot Receives Service Award From National Weather Service

Summer Of 2013 Was Mild, Wet, & Not Exactly What You've Been Led To Believe
By: Timothy Kays, Weather Editor THE REPORTER According to the staff of the National Weather Forecast Office in North Webster, Indiana (KIWX), summer in our area has been relatively mild, with above normal precipitation levels. According to their seasonal report, "Overall, the summer of 2013 will be remembered as a relatively mild and wet summer with a few streaks of hot weather. Despite numerous days with average temperatures below normal, the overall summer season ended just under a degree below normal thanks to a couple stretches of very warm temperatures. June and August experienced above normal precipitation while July was below normal. Most of the precipitation in August fell during the first three days of the month...skewing the monthly total. Most of August was very dry and this was beginning to show itself as the United States drought monitor began to show abnormally dry conditions expanding across the region in late August." What is so unusual about this? Absolutely nothing, except that despite the facts and figures that disparage their seemingly relentless lamentations, the global warming gaggle continue to insist that the readings are wrong, and that the temperature just continues to rise. One of the most convincing stretches of evidence took place from July 24 through August 19. During that period of time, no less than 3,566 temperature records were set. Ah, you say...is that not proof of global warming? It depends on your point of view. Of those records, 667 were for record high temperatures across the United States. The remainder, 2,899 broken records, were all for record COLD temperatures, including several in our region that date back to the first term presidency of Abraham Lincoln. A 4.346 to 1 ratio of record cold to record warm has no meaning to those whose interest is self-serving... they still insist that the cold is actually global warming. I can't explain their rationale. The funny thing is, neither can they...but it is fun to watch them try. In an interview from earlier last month, a certain former Vice President pulled figures out of somewhere, and then tried to make analogies that would cause the rational thinker reach for the aspirin. He said to interviewer Ezra Klein of The Washington Post, "The cumulative amount of energy trapped by manmade global warming pollution each day in the earths atmosphere is now equal to the energy that would be released by 400,000 Hiroshima bombs going off every 24 hours." Really? I find that impressive, especially since the Getty Thesaurus of Geographic Names, a project of the Getty Research Institute, lists about 250,000 communities around the world. If you do the math, this equates to 1.6 of these weapons going off every 24 hours in every community. Global warming is going to bring about that kind of destructive power huh? For those who would question the validity of what the Getty Institute calls a community, consider this...they have in their listings places like Hamer (Williams County) and Alvordton (Williams County), as well as Powers Station (Fulton County) and Winameg (Fulton County)...not exactly big bold font locations in the world of Rand-McNally. I for one would love it if I did not need to make such extensive cross references in order to counter absurd statements from those who try to scare others into a Chicken Little frame of mind, just in order to gain control of their lifestyles and their wallets. Returning to the summary from KIWX, the average summer temperature was 71.1 degrees, which was 0.6 degrees below normal. "This ranks as the 34th coolest summer on record. There were just 5 days with a high temperature of 90 degrees or greater, four of which in July and one in August. This is well below the official normal of 12 days and much lower than last summer when 42 days had temperatures in the 90s. The average number of 90 degree days over the past 10 years at Fort Wayne has been 18. The warmest temperature of the summer was 92 on July 16th and 18th. The coolest temperature was 47 on June 3rd and 4th." The report continued, saying, "Summer precipitation was 14.67 inches, which was 2.63 inches above normal. This ranks as the 12th wettest summer at Fort Wayne. About one third of all days during the summer season experienced measurable precipitation, which is slightly above normal. There were 10 days with precipitation greater than or equal to one half inch and 4 days with an inch or more of precipitation. Both of these were above normal for the season." Looking ahead to the month of September, the Climate Prediction Center is calling for our area to be near normal in temperature, with an almost 40 percent chance of greater than normal precipitation for the upcoming month. Figures like this are easier to digest when dispensed without superfluous connotations to weapons of mass destruction. C'mon now... the kids are back in school, and the days are quickly growing shorter in length. What say we can the politics in 'File-13' and enjoy the beautiful warm weather while we can, okay? Timothy Kays can be reached at tim@thevillagereporter.com OBSERVATION ... Mr. Lou Thourot has been taking weather observations for the National Weather Service at the Wauseon Water Treatment Plant since 1993. Daily observations include maximum temperature, minimum temperature, snowfall, snow depth, rainfall and snowfall water equivalent. The data collected is now able to be ingested daily into each new weather model run along with helping to paint an aerial picture of how much rainfall/snowfall has fallen in the area. The data is also used to build a climatic database of the United States. For the month of August 1998, he recorded 11.28 inches of rain. He also recorded 25.7 inches of snowfall in February 2011. Highest yearly precipitation total Mr. Thourot has recorded was 49.26 inches for the year 2011. The lowest was 24.75 inches for the year 2012. Highest seasonal snowfall total was 43.0 inches for the season 2002-2003. Highest temperature he recorded was in July 2012 at 105 degrees F and in June 2012 104 degrees F was recorded. Lowest temperature that he recorded was -21 degrees F back in January 1994. The National Weather Service is very grateful to Mr. Thourot for his continued dedication in taking weather observations. The National Weather Service Cooperative Program spans all 50 statescollecting weather observations from numerous volunteer weather observers for the climate database, weather forecasts, and for the protection of life and property.

CONTINUATION OF

Williams County Residents Urged To Give Blood & Make A Difference

The American Red Cross is urging blood donations during September to help support the initiatives of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and National Sickle Cell Disease Awareness Month. Our blood donors help make a difference for many types of patients, including children with cancer and those who need ongoing treatment for sickle cell disease, said Sharyn Whitman, CEO Indiana-Ohio Blood Services Region. Blood transfusions are crucial to both groups of individuals and play an important part in helping to extend and save their lives. According to the American Cancer Societys webpage, about 11,630 children in the United States under the age of 15 will be diagnosed with cancer in 2013. Cancer patients need frequent transfusions, often involving multiple blood products, particularly during chemotherapy and radiation therapies. Blood transfusions also help those who have sickle cell disease (SCD), an inherited blood disorder that occurs more commonly in African Americans, but can also affect other ethnic groups. The distorted red blood cells in SCD patients can cause physical pain, stroke, anemia and organ damage. Although there is no cure at this time, multiple red blood cell transfusions can help protect SCD patients from some of the complications of the disease. Steady and consistent blood donations are key to a strong blood supply, said Whitman. There is a wide variety of medical conditions requiring blood transfusion, and the only source are volunteer blood donors. Residents have the opportunity to donate at these local blood drives: Monday, Sept. 16, from 2 p.m. until 6 p.m. at Fountain Park Assisted Living and Memory Care, located at 1433 N. Main St. in Bryan. Tuesday, Sept. 17, from noon until 5 p.m. at AmeriCare Home Health Services, located at 102 W. Bryan St. in Bryan. Monday, Sept. 23, from 2 p.m. until 6 p.m. at Florence Township Fire Department, located at 201 S. Michigan Ave. in Edon. Saturday, Sept. 28, from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. at Walmart, located at 1215 S. Main St. in Bryan. HOW TO DONATE BLOOD Simply call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or drivers license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements. ABOUT THE AMERICAN RED CROSS The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the nations blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a not-for-profit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.

Fulton County Health Department Plans Flu Shot Clinics

Mike Oricko, Health Commissioner at the Fulton County Health Department wishes to remind the citizens of Fulton County that flu season will soon be here again. This year there should be plenty of vaccine available for everyone 6 months of age and older. There are no restrictions as to who can receive vaccine. The Health Department begins its vaccination campaign on Thursday, September 12th and is offering clinics by appointment, walk-in clinics, clinics for children and their parents, and clinics in county communities. Each flu season the World Health Organization (WHO) monitors the circulating flu strains around the world and decides which strains will go into the next years vaccine. This year the flu vaccine contains the H1N1, H3N2, and the influenza B Massachusetts virus strains. Vaccine Manufacturers have also produced a quadrivalent vaccine which contains an additional B (Brisbane) virus. The nasal spray vaccine will contain protection against all four strains and is available at FCHD. Unfortunately, the injectable type of quadrivalent vaccine is available in limited quantities. The Health Department was not chosen to receive quadrivalent vaccine, so the standard trivalent vaccine will be given. Several years ago a new High-Dose flu vaccine was introduced for people age 65 years and older. Studies have found that older adults were not responding as well to the standard-dose influenza vaccine so this higher dose vaccine was developed. It has a slightly different formulation to boost immunity levels in persons ages 65+. This age group typically has a higher rate of flu-related illness, hospitalization and death. Because this vaccine has been well tolerated, Oricko states, we will be using it to vaccinate all adults over the age of 65, but persons will have the option of receiving the standard formulation if they choose. A newer method of administering influenza vaccine is available and involves using a microinjection system with a 90% smaller needle to give the vaccine intradermally. The vaccine goes into the skin (dermis) instead of the muscle. This is the same vaccine used in the regular flu shot but it is given in a new way. Because the vaccine is in a pre-filled syringe, there are no preservatives in the vaccine. FluMist, an intranasal flu vaccine, will also be offered to healthy individuals between the ages of 2 and 49 years. This may be of interest to those who want to protect themselves from the flu but fear getting a shot. The cost of the FluMist is the same as the flu shot. The cost of the flu shot is $20.00 for adults and $10.00 for children ages 6 months through 18 years, but no one will be turned away because of inability to pay. Hi-dose flu vaccine will cost $38.00 per dose but for those with Medicare Plan B coverage, the cost will be billed to Medicare. If you have an insurance plan that replaces your Medicare B, you should consider receiving your vaccination through your healthcare provider to assure coverage. Most private physicians also offer seasonal flu shots to their patients. We are now billing Anthem, Medical Mutual, Paramount, and TriCare Insurances as well as Medicaid (Buckeye, Paramount Advantage, Molina, and Ohio Medicaid). Approximately 36,000 people die in the U.S. each year of the seasonal flu and its complications. The symptoms of influenza include fever, chills, upper respiratory congestion with cough, body aches and fatigue. Because it takes about two weeks after receiving the flu vaccine for protection against the flu, the CDC recommends that people be vaccinated as soon as vaccine is available. Everyone is at risk for the flu, Oricko states. Take the time to get a vaccination for yourself and encourage your family members to do the same. The Fulton County Health Department will be offering vaccinations at 606 S Shoop Avenue and other locations on the dates and times listed below.

American Red Cross To Join Bryan & Defiance Offices

Effective September 21, 2013, The Northwest Ohio Region of the American Red Cross will join together its operations in Bryan and Defiance, combining valuable resources while continuing to provide vital Red Cross programs and services. The Red Cross will continue to maintain office space and emergency response assets throughout Williams and Defiance counties ensuring that the Red Cross is ready to provide compassionate care to those affected by local disasters, to teach lifesaving health and safety skills, and to provide assistance to members of the armed forces and their families. The contact numbers and locations of the current offices will remain the same. Operations of both offices will be consolidated and directed by one full-time director who will guide mission-related service delivery and financial development throughout the two-county area. The director will split office hours between the two communities each week. Volunteers will continue to be essential for delivering programs and services, supplementing office hours, and providing leadership and advocacy both during this transition time and beyond. In addition, funds raised by the Red Cross in Defiance and Williams counties will continue to be used locally. With one full-time salaried director, we can focus more time and attention on fostering community partnerships, raising awareness, building volunteer teams, and providing valuable services, said Tim Yenrick, regional CEO for American Red Cross of Northwest Ohio. We are able to serve these communities more efficiently and bring more resources to bear when needed. People interested in applying for the new position can visit redcross.org/careers. ABOUT THE AMERICAN RED CROSS: The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the nations blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a not-for-profit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.

Swanton, OH, September 3, 2013: There will be an American Chestnut workshop and tour starting at 10:00 a.m. at the Swanton Public Library, 305 Chestnut St., Swanton, OH 43558 on September 21, 2013. Before the blight, American Chestnuts were majestic forest trees, sometimes called the Redwoods of the East. A keystone species, one in four trees of the eastern US forest was a chestnut. These huge trees were highly valued since the golden hardwood resisted rot, and its crop of sweet nuts fed abundant wildlife and generations of Americans. In northwest Ohio, chestnuts grew along Lake Erie and in the Oak Openings Region. You will learn how to bring back the chestnut through a morning workshop, followed by lunch and tours to three nearby chestnut sites. You will receive at least one pure American chestnut seedling, and seeds to grow next spring in your garden, farm, or woodland. The workshop presenter is Penn State University Researcher, Sara Fern Fitzsimmons. Sara is the Regional Science Coordinator of the American Chestnut Foundation. She will share chestnut history, planting and growing methods, common diseases and pests, and leaf and wood identification. Pre-registration is required and the cost is $25.00 per person, which includes lunch. Deadline to register is September 20th; and the contact is Kim Bowles of the Fulton SWCD at 419-337-9660 or kbowles@fultoncountyoh. com. The workshop and tour is being sponsored by Lange Tree Farm, Lucas & Fulton SWCDs, Wild Ones Oak Openings, Metroparks of the Toledo Area, OSULucas County Extension, Owens Community College, ODNR Maumee State Forest, Black Swamp Conservancy, and the Oak Openings Green Ribbon Initiative.

The Board of Trustees of the Andersons Fund Supporting Organization of the Toledo Community Foundation has approved a grant to 4-H Camp Palmer in the amount of $10,000. These funds will be used to support the replacement of a new swimming pool at camp. The Andersons Fund Supporting Organization grant will be used to fund final design and to secure the Ohio Department Health permits. Also, the grant will encourage similar support in the effort to replace a pool that was originally built in 1957. At a May 15 board

meeting, the 4-H Camp Palmer Board decided to choose a design build process and voted to hire The Patterson Company as the builder along with consultant Kurt Carmen. This grant award is a great boost toward the fund raising efforts toward this project. We are extremely grateful to Toledo Community Foundations Andersons Fund Supporting Organization, said Bill Goodson, Executive Director of 4-H Camp Palmer.

Montpelier Police Department Welcomes Newest Vehicle To Fleet

Larry Soles Is Guest Speaker At Stryker Rotary Club

NEW VEHICLE ... Montpelier Police Departments newest vehicle was added to the fleet last week and can now be seen patrolling the village streets.

Montpelier Native Graduates From Basic Training

Air Force Airman Mackenzie M. Jones graduated from basic military training at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, San Antonio, Texas. The airman completed an intensive, eight-week program that included training in military discipline and studies, Air Force core values, physical fitness, and basic warfare principles and skills. Airmen who complete basic training earn four credits toward an associate in applied science degree through the Community College of the Air Force. Jones is the son of Larry Jones and Melissa Hiltabidel, both of Montpelier. He is a 2009 graduate of Montpelier High School.

Larry Soles, from Soles Motor Sports, spoke as a guest of Eldred Buehrer at the Stryker Rotary Club meeting. Larry runs his business out of downtown Stryker and is able to attract customers from a large geographic area. The sale of large items is somewhat sporadic, but he said that is the nature of the business. Service work and sale of smaller items provide the steady business for the company. Larry enjoys racing vintage motorcycles on a flat track. He said they have been practicing racing at the fairground for several years, and ran a sanctioned race during the Williams County Fair in 2012. This year they were not able to get on the schedule of events, but are planning

another race in 2014. He has also raced at the Fulton County Fairground where they run an annual race the second weekend in July. These are great places to see vintage motorcycles of all sizes. Larry drove a motorcycle with a Voyager conversion kit installed to the meeting. His business installs these kits, making an affordable method to transfer any motorcycle to a trike. The kit can be made to match the motorcycle and once installed provides a very attractive package. The Voyager is also easily removable if the owner would like to ride a two wheel bike part of the time. Larry is pictured on the converted motorcycle with Rotary member Eldred Buehrer on the back preparing to take a ride.

Free Mental Health Family Education Class Will Start Sept. 17

A free mental health education class for family members and others with an adult loved one who suffers from a mental illness will be offered by the NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) Four County chapter next month. The class will be held in Bryan in the third floor auditorium of the Community Hospitals and Wellness Center, 433 W. High St. The 12-week class, which is open to residents of any county, begins Tuesday, September 17 from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Called Family to Family, the class covers a different topic each week, including: learning about the symptoms and facts of major depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, panic disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder; understanding each diagnosis as well as the treatment of each illness; dealing with difficult periods that a person suffering from a mental illness goes through, including relapse; an up-to-date medication review; a problemsolving workshop; developing strategies on how to better communicate with the mentally ill loved one; and more. The curriculum was professionally developed by NAMI and is continually updated to include the most recent information about medications and medical research on mental illness. Family to Family is now listed in SAMHSAs national registry of evidence-based programs and practices. Participants will receive a notebook full of information on each topic covered during the class. Co-leaders of the fall Family to Family class are Trisha Vassar and Veria Frank, each of whom has a family member with a mental illness. They have taught the class before and completed a three-day training in order to become certified as a Family to Family instructor. Class evaluations from past Family to Family participants report that the information presented is very helpful. However, the opportunity to share and learn from other persons who have gone through similar situations with a mentally ill loved one is the most valuable part of the class. To find out more about the Bryan class, please contact Trisha or Veria at 419/237-3103 during the day or Trish at 419/330-9476 other times. Although the class is free and open to any family member, friend or person who works closely with someone with a mental illness, pre-registration is required.

Four County Receives All As on First Report Card

The Ohio Department of Education (ODE) has recently released report card grades for Ohios Career Technical Schools. According to the ODE, the new rating system is believed to be the first of its kind in the nation to use A to F letter grades and to exceed the federal requirements. The new career-tech report cards were developed by representatives from six Ohio education organizations as required by legislation. The Career Technical Education (CTE) report card consists of five components (Achievement, Graduation, Post Program Outcomes, Prepared for Success, and Financial Data) three of which receive grades. Four County Career Center, serving 22 associate schools in the four county area, was one of only eight Career Technical Schools in Ohio to receive all As on their report card. "We are certainly very proud of the CTE Grade Card results.", said Superintendent Tim Meister. "It speaks volumes about how terrific our entire staff is at Four County. The challenge we now face is not being satisfied with this report card, but to continue to find ways to improve and excel each day."

Wauseon City Council Hears Reports & Legislation; Sets Trick or Treat Free One-On-One Computer Classes At The Wauseon Public Library
By: Chelsie Firestone job. Director of Finance, Jamie Giguere reported that the numbers on the income tax report were down for the month of August but that receipts are still up 4% overall for the year. Director of Law Thomas McWatters III explained Ordinance 2013-8 regarding park rules and the sections that were amended. Councilor Shane Chamberlin inquired about the penalties that would be involved with these amendments. Currently violation of the rules would classify as a M4 (misdemeanor of the 4th degree). Chief Torbet agreed that the penalties really should classify as M1 (misdemeanor of the 1st degree). Mr. McWatters explained that if council would like to amend the penalties to this that they can be amended when presented for second reading. Legislative matters passed on first reading included Ordinance 2013-7 regarding amending the codified ordinances of the City of Wauseon to include Section 719, Sweepstakes Internet Caf to Part Seven Business Regulation Code. The ordinance passed on first reading. Ordinance 2013-8, amending sections 505.17 and 957 of the Codified Ordinances of the City of Wauseon also passed on first reading. Resolutions passing on first reading included Resolution 2013-28, which authorized the mayor to enter into an appraisal agreement with Industrial Appraisal Company for the purpose of appraising the citys property. Passed as emergency and now in effect were Resolution 2013-26 and Resolution 2013-27. Resolution 2013-26 declares the necessity for the transfer of funds pursuant to Ohio Revised Code Section 5705.15 and 507.16 from the Capital Project Fund to the Bond Reduction Fund. Resolution 2013-27 accepts the amounts and rates as determined by the Budget Commission and authorizes the necessary tax levies and certifies them to the auditor. There were no second or third readings. The only new business brought before council other than the setting of Trick or Treat times within the city concerned the Undivided Local Government Fund. The motion that the City of Wauseon waive any hearing before the Fulton County Budget Commission regarding appointment of the Undivided Local Government Fund and agree to the Fulton County Budget Commissions alternate plan of apportionment on the basis of need and prior years apportionment as well as to accept the sum of $120,888.20 as the City of Wauseons share of the Undivided Local Government Fund carried with unanimous approval.

The Toastmaster was Larry Zuvers of Bryan. Since it was Labor Day, he related a somewhat funny and mostly frustrated story with customer service at a cable company. It took 45 minutes and three service persons to get an account password changed. He responded to a customer survey that he was not pleased with the service. A word of interest was escalate. The definition relates to increase, intensify, move up, or expand. Examples include: escalate in price, escalate a conflict, and the word escalator. Andy Lyke provided the timing of each persons speaking. Dues of $36 should be given to Andy as treasurer in September. Barb Steckly of Bryan provided an inspirational close relating that living in the past does not allow competing in the present. Rebecca Lovelace of Fayette, who is club president, reported that the next regular meeting is September 16. In addition, on September 23 there will be a combined meeting with the Defiance Toastmasters at 6:30 pm at Northwest State. The purpose is to have a humorous speech and table topics contest. The public and college students are also invited. Guests are always welcome to attend Northwest Ohio Toastmasters' meetings on the first and third Monday of each month at 6:30 pm in the Allied Health Building Conference Room at Northwest State Community College south of Archbold. For more information contact Larry Zuvers at 419-636-2329 or lzuvers@gmail.com.
The Normal Memorial Library in Fayette is a small town hub of activity for children and adults alike. Many children dug into reading this summer with the librarys Dig Into Reading summer reading program. A total of 31 children participated logging 2,540 hours in only 6 weeks. Rewarded for their efforts were Hannah Kovar, 484 hours, winner of the girls bike, and Miah Beauregard, 448 hours, winner of a digital camera. Ethan Hiler had perfect attendance at the events and was rewarded with the boys bike. Many local businesses and volunteers contributed to the success of this program. The library offers many programs and services for children during the school year as well. A grant received at the beginning of this year has been used for a Listening Center in the Childrens Library. Several new books on CD have been purchased. Children can also read with a buddy in this area. The Afterschool program is once again in full swing. Children in kindergarten through 2nd grade are welcome in September on Tuesdays while children 3rd through 5th grade are welcome on Thursdays for the following days and events: the 10th and 12th movie, 17th and 19th crafts, and 24th and 26th a play day. For the younger children ages 2-5, story time will be held on Monday evenings from 6:30-7:00. The Library asks

For adults, the library offers a monthly book discussion group. This month, the group will discuss The Good Dream by Donna VanLiere on Thursday, September 26 at 7:00 pm. The story, set in Tennessee in the 1950s, exposes small town secrets and pulls main character Ivorie out of her comfort zone when a mysterious child enters her life. In addition, a new feature in the Library online database called NoveList allows users to access information about the books they are interested in. This feature can be accessed online through the Patron Catalog tab followed by the Enterprise Catalog selection. The Library also appreciates the many donations it receives in memory and in honor of friends and families. The library accepts these types of donations anytime. If you currently are not taking advantage of all the local library has to offer, September is the perfect time to visit the library. September is National Library Card Sign Up Month, and the Normal Memorial Library will give away free pens to all new patrons requesting first-time library cards. Come check it out!

Cooking Up a Furnace At The Fayette Opera House

Cooking will take centerstage at Fayettes historic Opera House on Saturday, October 5th when the Fayette Arts Council hosts a fundraising event called Cooking up a Furnace. Sponsored by the Fayette Arts Council and the Opera House Association, this benefit, Pampered Chef Cooking Show will raise funds for a new heating and cooling system for the first floor of the Opera House. The host for the event will be Pampered Chef local representative Cathy Leininger. In addition to participating in an outstanding culinary workshop (complete with food samples), each participant will receive a gift & coupon bag, a Pampered Chef Cook Book and will be eligible for the Cooking up a Furnace Drawing. Tickets for the event are $5.00 and may be purchased from any Fayette Arts Council Member or by calling (419) 237-3111 and leaving your name and ticket request. All of the ticket income as well one third of the proceeds from the sale of the Pampered Chef items will offset the cost of the recently installed replacement furnace and new air conditioning system. The Opera House has been in need of an air conditioning system on the first floor for years. said Tom Spiess, Director of the Fayette Arts Council. Fayettes historic old facility serves as the local nutrition site for the Fulton County Senior Citizen Center. The existing cooling system struggled to maintain comfort levels during the summer season. The old window unit was too small, too noisy and too challenging for Senior Site Management to manage on a daily basis said Spiess. Too address this need; the Board of the Fayette Arts Council (owner of the Opera House) initiated a drive to raise the dollars needed to upgrade the system. All funds to cover the cost of the installation are raised locally from private donations and fundraising events such as the Cooking up a Furnace Campaign. As the Fayette Arts Council nears the end of this fundraising effort, a private challenge donation of $1000 was made by a local resident to stimulate support and to bring the campaign to a successful conclusion. With the funds raised through the Cooking Up A Furnace match grant campaign added to the income generated from the screening of the silent film The Black Pirate (Accompanied by organist Lynne Long) slated for September 21st, the Arts Council will erase most of the costs associated with the upgrades to the heating plant.

Devotional Thought / Fellowship of Christian Athletes

By: Rex Stump - Surfing Lifes Waves!
Im learning that you if you cant stop the waves... you learn how to surf! I saw that saying and I really like it. Life has been giving me a lot of waves lately, pounding at my life, causing me to lose balance, and often making me sick. So...since I cant stop those waves of life, Ill learn to surf those waves! So I need a surfing coach. Jesus. Why not, he walked on water...so he is the ultimate surf coach! Right? Teach me to surf Jesus! Well, there is no scripture for that, but we do know that the disciples did say, Teach us to PRAY! And prayer is how we surf the waves of life! Paul said in Philippians 4:6-7 says, Dont worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience Gods peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. How do we pray? Lets focus on the one particular way...the CHAT method. Confess - Honor - Ask Thanksgiving. Confess: Imagine meeting the most important person you can think of on earth. Who would it be? Guess what, that person is coming to your house in 15 minutes! Panic? Nervous? Why? When they arrive, we apologize for the house being a mess, paint is chipped, something is rusty, something is broken or misplaced...and we feel embarrassed for the condition of our house. Jesus says, Im coming to your house! You see, I learned this trade as a boy and young man, I was a carpenter. I made things and I fixed things. Now, Im coming to your house, your heart and I want to fix you up, and build you into something special. Confess - agree with God that we are broken and need some fixing up! Honor: Tell God how awesome He is! Call Him by name - wonderful, counselor, almighty, shepherd. You get the idea! Ask: What do you need? What are you struggling with? Spill the beans. More people unload their frustrations on social media before they unload it to God. I would guess if they went to God first, they wouldnt have to tell the world on social media their problems. Thanksgiving: Express your gratitude! Remember the old hymn, Count Your Blessings. Finish this line, Count your blessings name them one by ______? ONE! Lets do something fun. Take a piece of paper, write down the things you are thankful for! Hows your list looking? Now, what if tomorrow you only had the things that you thanked God for today? If you didnt write down toothpaste, you dont get that tomorrow. If you didnt write down air, you dont get that tomorrow. Anyone adding things to your list, that you left out? We have so much to be thankful for! If we really spent time thanking God for all that we have been given...our prayer time would last hours! You see - pray is my conversation with the only God of this universe. It is my opportunity to acknowledge His Holiness, confess my unholy life, seek His help and guidance, and give thanks to the One who gave me all things. The more I pray, the stronger I get. I cant stop the waves of life that knock me over, but my God is helping me surf and rise above those waves. For more reading, check out Ephesians 5:19-20; Luke 11:1-13; and Ephesians 6:18.

HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED LOVE, GODS LOVE?

I read online recently about a couple who were married and divorced over 48 years ago and they decided to get married again. The lovebirds then met up by chance at Christmas last year when their daughter Lisa took her father, Wills, along to a family gathering. Wills added This time were going to make it last. Another love story that I recently read about came from Cynthia Riggs, an 81-year-old mystery writer and owner of a bed and breakfast in Marthas Vineyard. After living by herself for decades, she received a strange coded note in the mail. She was pretty sure she knew who sent the note and what the note said. It was, in fact, a person from her youth. It was from Howard Atterbury, a man she had worked with at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography when she was 18. They had used the code as a kind of fun game to make comments about what was going on in the office. No romance developed between them. She had not heard from Howard for 63 years. The letter led to phone conversations, which led to a visit, which led one hour later to an engagement, which led to marriage in 2013. The bride was 81, and the groom was 91. What did the coded note say? It said, I have never stopped loving you. Howard told CBS news, Love is a great place to spend the rest of your life. The presence and power of love in a relationship is a great gift, especially when it is the kind of love that is from God, what the scriptures call, agape love. Have you experienced love, Gods love? With regard to love and its presence, power and permanence the scriptures tells us 1 Corinthians 13:13 (NASB), 13 But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Celebrate Our Artisans Week At Sauder Village

From Tuesday, September 10 through Sunday, September 15, 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 indepth 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 Burlington Glassworks, guests can visit Mark Matthews along with guest artist John McCormick from St. Louis, MO. John McCormick will be at the Village from Wednesday, September 11 through Sunday, September 15 with his sphere making machine. John will be demonstrating this modern reproduction of one of the first mechanized sphere making machines in the world - a joining of principals from 1903 with 2013. A little modern technology is applied to the process because the machine is now motor driven instead of hand driven. In the Welcome Center guests will find special signage designed to help highlight the talents of our craftsmen. We will share information about how they got started in their craft, what they enjoy most about their craft and advice they would offer for people looking to try the craft or trade. 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. There will also be special add-on experiences offered for a small additional fee. 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 be held each day - providing guests the opportunity to win a unique, hand-crafted item from Sauder Village. Historic Sauder Village is open through the end of October. Other upcoming Sauder Village events include Apple Butter Making September 25-28, All Aboard Train Event October 5 & 6 and Fall on the Farm/Scout Day October 12.
