Synthetic Marijuana Faces Increasing Scrutiny Both On Local & National Fronts

CHEMICAL TAKING TOLL ON WILLIAMS & FULTON COUNTY RESIDENTS

Fayette Local Schools Receives $10,000 Grant to Build New Greenhouse

By: Jennifer Manlove THE VILLAGE REPORTER With usage on the rise, synthetic marijuana is facing increasing scrutiny on a local, state and national level. However, it seems that many community members are refusing to wait on local authorities and other interventions to get this product out of their towns. Currently members of the community are speaking out about their concerns of this product being sold, and they are facing some opposition. Advertised as potpourri locally, synthetic marijuana is available in gas stations, convenience stores, and tattoo shops as well as other unclassified businesses. The brightly colored packets are usually displayed prominently near cash register, or are behind the counter and come with warnings against consumption, although critics say its just there for show. The colorful and professional packaging and wording often changes as the laws are amended. In some jurisdictions, depending on how the laws are written, the prosecutor must prove the person intended to use the product (not just possess it), which makes it even more difficult to reduce availability of these

substances. The costs can range is from $25-$75 depending on how many grams is being sold. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates 1 in 9 high school seniors have used the drugs. Calls to poison centers about the drugs rose from 2,900 in 2010 to 7,000 in 2011 and hit 1,200 in the first two months of 2012. According to Mary Juarez of Edgerton, she has followed the local statistics closely and said that in 2011 there were at least 50 recorded overdoses taken to the emergency room at the hospital in Bryan. That number grew to 89 in 2012, and continues to climb. Juarez is one community member that has recently spoken publicly about how drug use has affected her life. Three years ago her world shattered following the death of her son. He passed away after being taken to the hospital following an overdose. He had struggled with an addiction to prescription pain pills. She is now out in the public speaking out for her son, something he had wanted to do. She shares the dangers of drug abuse and addiction, and has spoken to over fifty schools, clubs and organization is hopes of educating children. The dilemma we are

faced with because these drugs have many different names that are given to mask the fact they are chemical substances that have been created to produce some sort of a high. Although the chemical composition of some of them is known, the rogue chemists producing them are constantly changing the formulations so they can stay ahead of the latest federal and state legal definitions and laws to avoid prosecution. The product holds particular appeal for some because it is undetectable in conventional drug tests and supposedly offers a similar high to pot. Manufacturers of the products attempt to evade legal restrictions by substituting different chemicals in their mixtures. The DEA continues to monitor the situation and evaluate the need for updating the list of banned cannabinoids. The five banned active chemicals are JWH-018, JWH-073, JWH-200, CP47, 497, and CP-47, 497C8. Most states have also banned the products, but the list of banned substances varies by state and the states keep revising the lists to try to control new products that are developed to get around the current laws. Toxicology laboratories are developing tests for these drugs, but as of September 2012, only 17 of all the synthetic cannabis variations can be identified in urine tests developed by one lab and most of the blood and oral fluid tests only identify 12. Makers produce chemicals synthetically and then spray them onto dry herbs and plants, hoping to mimic the ... CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

FULTON, OH A local Ohio School District is building a new greenhouse for its agricultural science students. Thanks to the support of local farmers and Americas Farmers Grow Rural Education, Fayette Local Schools received a $10,000 grant to add a greenhouse to their agricultural education lab.

As the Halloween season approaches, many people travel to haunted corn mazes and spook houses where they look to get their fix of ghouls, goblins, and ghosts. In fact, the haunted house business is now a multimillion dollar industry. What many don't realize though is that you don't have to travel very fair at all in order to get up close and personal with the paranormal, in fact, area residents can have a first hand haunted experience right in our own back yard, and unlike those haunted corn mazes and spook houses, these ghosts are not paid employees. The Fulton County Historical Museum has long been the subject of haunting rumors. The building, located at 229 Monroe Street in Wauseon, was originally the town's High School from 1868-1897. It was then the location of the Wauseon hospital from 1905-1930. Then in 1945, the building was turned into an apartment complex, residents of which were the first to claim that they had experienced unusual, otherworldly goings on. Ever since then, more and more people say that they too have been witness to hauntings and spirits in the museum. Some of these reports include the smell of cooking coming from an oven that is not even hooked up, the site of a man that wanders in the museum and smokes a pipe that can be smelled, and there is even a audio recording from the church gallery in which the organ can be heard playing, even though there was no one playing it at the time. The elderly ghost of a depressed nurse who hung herself in what is now the museum attic is said to haunt the museum, and there have been multiple reports of children claiming that a little boy was in the window of the museum, and would ask them to come and play. There have been several paranormal investigators who have visited the museum, all of which have said that the building is brimming with activity. Investigators report being touched,

doors being slammed, and have gotten recordings of giggling, knocking, and voices of what they believed to be spirits residing in the museum. Now, museum guests can experience these hauntings and spirits for themselves as the Fulton County Historical Society is offering Haunting History Tours to area residents. The tours had been a regular event that the Historical Society put on, but in 2006 the tours were put on hiatus after a guest became extremely scare and distraught after having experienced an encounter with some sort of paranormal activity inside of the museum. The hiatus ended last year, when the Historical Society decided to start the haunted tours back up again, and provide visitors with a frighteningly good time. The one hour tours will take place on October 18th, 19th, 25th, and 26th, and will start at 6:30, with a new group of 8-10 visitors leaving the Wauseon Train Depot every 15 minutes, and take place rain or shine, or in this case, darkness. Museum volunteers will lead the guests from the Depot, to North Park, into the museum, and then back to the depot. The volunteers include storytellers who will be dressed in clothing of the late 1800's and early 1900's, and will tell of the haunted lore of the museum, and lead visitors through the supposedly haunted building. Tickets are only $10 dollars for adults, and only $8 dollars for members and children aged 13-17. The last two tours of the night are reserved for guest for are 18 years old and older. Spots for the tours are quickly filling up, so make your reservations soon! Reservations can be made by calling the Fulton County Historical Society at 419-3377922, or emailing them at museum@ fultoncountyhs.org. Do not miss this great opportunity that the Historical Society is providing this Halloween season, because if you do, it just might haunt you for weeks to come!

Updated Five Year Forecast Shows Convenes In Regular Session Some Change For The Better
By: Lucinda Held-Faulhaber THE VILLAGE REPORTER Edon Board of Public Affairs addressed a clear-cut agenda when it convened in regular session Tuesday, October 8, 2013 at Edon Village Chambers. Mayor Darlene Burkhardt called the late afternoon meeting to order with members Chip Hulbert, Andy Ledyard, Fiscal Officer Heidi Bidwell and Water/Wastewater Superintendent Chris Decker in attendance; not answering roll was Warren Henry. In action taken, the Board: Learned in addition to daily operations, Water/Wastewater Treatment Plant Superintendent Decker had assisted residents with water valve replacements and shut-off; restored water service; located the Township Buildings shut-off; assisted two commercial consumers with high water usage and posted residential shut-off notices. Additionally, he installed septic tank risers and replaced lids; cleaned the treatment plants Lift Station float; determined the source of sewer odor for a homeowner; addressed septic tank issues at the Mobile Home Park and pumped several septic holding tanks.

Edon Northwest Local Board of Education

Edon Board Of Public Affairs

Approved the submitted $3753 estimate to rebuild a lift pump at the treatment plant (two new ones are currently in service); cost for a new pump is seven thousand dollars. Heard DS-201 and DS-202 testing for Disinfection of Byproducts had been completed on water samples; this testing increases the publics health protection of effects associated with disinfection byproducts throughout the distribution system. Was informed insurance monies ($1832.53) had been received for this summers lightning damage to the Water Plant; the claim ($2832.53) carried a one thousand dollar deductible. Noted I & I issues continue to be investigated and rain amounts monitored. Approved the Minutes, Financial Report and Bills as presented. Signed the Shut-Off List. Edon Board of Public Affairs will hold its next meeting Tuesday, November 12, 2013 beginning at 4:30 p.m. in Village Chambers. Lucinda Held-Faulhaber may be reached at publisher@thevillagereporter.com

REGULAR SESSION In addition to addressing a straightforward agenda during its October regular session, members of the Edon Northwest Local Board of Education, from left, Jill Jacoby, Brad McCrea, District Treasurer Kerry Samples, Superintendent Ed Ewers, Terry Hake (hidden), Suzi McCullough (hidden) and Dave Haase, also approved the Districts updated Five Year Forecast. While a bit more encouraging than Mays submitted Forecast, the District still faces deficit spending in the years ahead despite implementing several cost-cutting measures. By: Lucinda Held-Faulhaber THE VILLAGE REPORTER While the updated Five Year Forecast looked a bit more encouraging than it did last spring, Edon Northwest Local Board of Education heard the District would still continue deficit spending when it met in regular session Tuesday, October 8, 2013 in the schools Media Center. President Jill Jacoby called the early evening meeting to order with all members in attendance. Compared to last May, were looking at about three hundred twelve thousand dollars better at the end of Fiscal Year 2017 than our first forecast showed, began District Treasurer Kerry Samples. Things are looking better. While cost-saving measures, such as staffing adjustments, hiring teachers right out of college, shared treasurer and school psychologist service arrangements with Edgerton Schools and bringing back to the District certain special education services from Bryan have all contributed to this savings, District revenues remain status quo. Unfortunately, the District will not be getting any additional dollars, Samples pointed out. The Five Year Forecast has been impacted positively on the expenditure side [of the budget]; however, we just cant keep pace with State [funding] cuts. Weve talked about this several times, he continued. All you need to do is look at our Fiscal Year 2012 revenue of 5.4 million dollars. Last years totaled five million ~ thats a loss of four hundred thousand dollars in one year. With the District on the State guarantee, this trend will stay consistent over the next two years; funding will be the same amount as received in Fiscal Year 2013. Although Governor John Kasich has stated hed like to wean districts off the guarantee, projections indicate the District staying at ninety-eight percent funding through Fiscal Year 2018. Based on the current funding formula which has nine of ten parts tied to Valuation per pupil, were not coming off the guarantee anytime in the next five years, said Samples. We just dont have the enrollment. Without big changes in Valuation or registering forty or fifty more students ~ funding from the State will not change. Again, while the Five Year Forecast does look better, I still think were going to have to go on the ballot sometime in next couple of years probably 2016 [to get new revenue coming in], Samples stated. With the new State Budget Bill, property tax may not be the way to go; youll no longer get the 12.5 percent rollback previously picked up by the State. An income tax could be the way to go. Were still deficit spending ~ approximately three hundred thousand dollars per year until 2017 and 2018 when it jumps to four hundred - five hundred thousand dollars per year, concluded Samples. Everything weve put in place has helped push us back a couple years, but without any additional State aid, [deficit spending will remain the norm]. With review of the updated Five Year Forecast and its supporting notes completed, the Board went on to approve the schedule as presented. District residents interested in learning more about the Forecast should contact Mr. Samples, Superintendent Ewers or visit the Districts Website at www.edon. k12.oh.us. Highlights from October Reports to the Board included: Grades 7-12 Principal Anthony Stevens Shared the newly-formed Parent Advisory Committee met for the first time last week. Looking to keep parents active in everything done at the school (volunteering, fundraising, etc.), it is also hoped monthly meetings will be responsive to parent and community needs while engaging in conversations on how to continually improve on those needs. Noted the Districts website (www. edon.k12.oh.us) has a fresh, new look CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

Montpelier Area Chamber Of Commerce Holds October Meeting

By: Kay Raypholtz THE VILLAGE REPORTER

Montpelier Senior Center Celebrates October Anniversaries & Birthdays

The Board members of the Montpelier Area Chamber of Commerce began their meeting by hearing from Steve Raymond of the Williams County Economic Development Corporation (WEDCO). He said that WEDCO was working on a lot of good things, and that they had success with their Manufacturing Day on October 4, 2013. The event featured a tour of seven businesses. It was was held in conjunction with five area local schools, the Four County Career Center, and Northwest State Community College for the purpose of showing the manufacturing jobs that are available in the county. WEDCO is also trying to raise awareness of the availability of local skilled-trades jobs, and the type of training that employers are seeking from job applicants. This is a nationwide event as manufacturers are trying to fill the gaps in the work force. WEDCO is particularly interested in educating high school students about how they can make a good living by employment in local skilled-trade positions. Raymond also told about the distinction of Williams County being named the Fifth Best Place to Work in the nation. A part of this title is earned due to a much shorter commute on average when compared to state averages. There will be a Henry CountyWilliams County Roundtable discussion at CK Technologies on October 17. Board member Jeanette Hull said that this would include a tour of CK for the Roundtable members, and that they would see the new Cascade Enterprise System, and hear a presentation on the system. She said that this system was wonderful for the county as it provides continuous improvements. Gloria Osburn, representing the Montpelier Library, said that there were a lot of fun events on the schedule. Their annual Friends of the Library Fall Fest is being held on Saturday, October 19 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the library on 216 East Main Street in Montpelier. There will be vendors and crafters, childrens stories and crafts, live entertainment, and there will be homemade soups and breads available. Admission to the event is free. On October 24, Tammy Manley will be holding classes at 4:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. to learn how to paint an autumn birch. Classes are filling quickly and those interested should call the library at 419-485-3287. There is a fee for this class. The library is also having wreath making classes on Saturday, November 23 at 11:30 a.m., and again on Tuesday, December 3 at 6:30 p.m. This class is sponsored by Montpelier Parks and Recreation. Registration is required, and those interested should

call the Recreation Office at 419-4853496 several days in advance for more information and to reserve a spot. There is a $5 fee, and participants will need to provide a box of cut greens and any other embellishments for this 18 wreath, and bring a pair of hand pruners. The Chamber and the Montpelier Retail Merchants are sponsoring this years Halloween Parade and Treats event, an annual tradition that is sure to delight the youngsters. It is being held on Saturday, October 26th at the Fire Station from 5:15 6:00 p.m. Weather permitting, there will be a parade. Preschoolers must be accompanied by an adult. Village Trick-or-Treating begins at 6:00 through 7:00 p.m. Retail merchants will be open and handing out goodies, and the Main Street park will be open for those who would like to hand out treats. That same evening, Saint Pauls United Methodist Church will be offering treat bags and hot dogs. The First Presbyterian Church will hold their Trunk-or-Treat on Thursday, October 31 from 6:00 8:00 p.m. Chamber board members continued to discuss repairs that are needed to a building abutting the rear of the office, and will set a date for all board members to meet for further discussions. Estimates have been received for the cost of work and were shared during the regular meeting. Work continues on plans for the 2014 Bean Days, and there will be a meeting of the planning committee on October 16 at 6:00 p.m. at the Holiday Inn Express in Holiday City. Those who are interested in serving on a committee are still welcome to get involved, and may call the Chamber office for more information. This group will be a Charter Planning Committee, and plan to take over responsibility for the event while still serving under the umbrella of the Chamber. It will be a non-profit group, and will be run like a project committee. The Chamber has always emphasized that Bean Days is a community event, and this will move toward having the annual event run by the community. Permission was granted by the board members to allow the committee its own charter. The board also voted to donate $25 to the Olde Tyme Holiday Gathering event as they are seeking sponsors. There are board seats up for election this year. One seat will need to be from the field of professionals, and two persons have expressed interest. There is also a seat up for election for a representative from the industrial field. Ballots will go out to Chamber members the end of October. The next regular meeting of the Montpelier Chamber of Commerce will be held on Friday, November 8 at 8:00 a.m.

appearance of marijuana. The chemicals can be many times more potent than the THC found in marijuana. The actual high can be much different, though, and in many cases produces effects opposite of the relaxed, happy state commonly associated with marijuana usage. Side effects can include increased heart rate; paranoid behavior, agitation and irritability; nausea and vomiting; confusion; drowsiness; headache; hypertension; electrolyte abnormalities; seizures; and loss of consciousness. A Montpelier resident said that he and his wife went to a local store and they were shown how to use the potpourri by smoking it. The substance was prepared for them in the store by the store clerk. Both the man and wife smoked it, but later the wife had to be admitted to the emergency room due to a rapid heartbeat. They are now concerned that this product needs to be banned. A Williams County resident who wished to remain anonymous due to his place of employment, spoke candidly about his experience using spice/potpourri. The man said that he was easily able to walk into a Montpelier store and purchase the product. He said that he has previously smoked marijuana but because of his new employment he was worried about being pulled for a random drug test. He said when he took his first hit, he did not care for the taste of it. Something did not taste right and is had a horrible after taste as well. At first he did not feel much of an effect at all. About thirty minutes passed and he decided to smoke more. He took bigger hit from the pipe and he held it in for about ten seconds or so. This time the effects came soon after. He recalls feeling like he was coming out of his body. He then began to experience some paranoia and was checking his cell phone repeatedly and went around his house pulling down screens and locking his doors. At that point he decided to go lay down on the couch, but he started shaking like he was really cold. He went to his closet to get a

sleeping bag and he got inside, but he then felt like he was suffocating. He recalls that his heart starting beating very fast and his mind felt numb. The feeling that he had lasted for a long time, approximately 3 hours. It was at that point that he began to feel better, but even the next day he remembered feeling out of it. This was a feeling that he never had when smoking marijuana. When asked if he would smoke this again, he said I dont plan to, but things happen. Maybe the next time will be different. When asked if he would recommend the use of this product to others he replied Not really, but with marijuana being illegal people are going to use it. The Williams County Sheriffs Department is continuing to fight the drug issue to the best of their ability. Sheriff Towns said that the biggest problem at this time is the law needs to catch up with the production and make all look alike drugs illegal also. According to Sheriff Towns, Dep. McCord is in DARE training right now and will be starting in the county schools fifth grade early next year. In 2010 legislation was passed in Ohio banning the drugs. There was a decrease seen with the substances for a while, but because of the changes in the chemical composition they made a comeback. Williams County has recently seen an increase because boarding states like Indiana recently passed laws making the new compounds illegal. With those changes, business that were in Indiana relocated across the state lines into Ohio. Recently the Bryan City Council met passed an ordinance taking a proactive measure against the sale, manufacture, distribution and possession of synthetic and lookalike drugs. This is one of the first places to take a stand in the area, and possibly the state. Other communities appear to be working hard to take a similar approach to remove the availability of the substance as well. Jennifer Manlove may be reached at publisher@thevillagereporter.com

Williams County Peg Buda, Williams County Safe Communities Coordinator announced that the Ohio Department of Public Safetys (ODPS) Ohio Traffic Safety Office (OTSO) awarded $25, 000 in federal traffic safety funding to Williams County Health Department for federal fiscal year 2014. On September 26, 2013, Sergeant Michael McClain, Ohio State Patrol from the Defiance Post, delivered the award letter to the Williams County Health Department. Competitive grant proposals are accepted and reviewed by OTSO. The FFY 2014 competitive grant process solicited grant proposals from state agencies, non-profit organizations, colleges, universities, hospitals, political subdivisions and other interested groups within selected Ohio counties and jurisdictions (based upon the number of fatal crashes). The funds are then passed through OTSO from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to support the efforts of safety partners statewide and focus on traffic safety priorities such as restraint use, impaired driving, motorcycle safety and youthful drivers. Safe Communities will promote increased public awareness through

education about alcohol impairment, motorcycle safety awareness and traffic safety messaging. These grant funds will be further utilized through planned efforts working with our local high schools for increased seat belt usage, distracted driving awareness and Mock Crash event coordination. The Williams County Safe Communities mission is to help save lives and reduce injuries on our roadways through leadership and partnering efforts with other public safety agencies and community members. Williams County Safe Communities will continue to partner with local law enforcement, county agencies and community members through educational and awareness events. Partnerships are critical to the success of any safety effort and we are committed to working with safety partners to address traffic safety concerns in Williams County, said Peg Buda, Williams County Safe Communities Coordinator.

REFLECTIONS FROM FAYETTES PAST

Fall Festivities Honor Local Fayette Citizen

By: Tammy Allison THE VILLAGE REPORTER Despite cloudy skies and the potential of rumble from above, the weather did not deter the local community from coming out to enjoy the Fall Main Street Rumble in Fayette. The Main Street was filled with vintage Ford cars, trucks, and machinery for the days festivities. The events this past weekend honored Fayette citizen Hal Stambaugh. Hal, owner of the restored vintage Hals Garage in Fayette, is a wellknown restorer of Ford Flathead engines. Hal, who began building engines with his father, says he was honored to be a part of the event and was quick to add that many people helped put the event together. He claims his garage has made me popular along with the Internet and word of mouth. Hal has met people from all over the world including England, Ukraine, and Japan who have stopped through town to see his restored garage. Hal was honored that many of his friends, including Mark Kirby of Motor City Speed Equipment in Dundee, Michigan, came down the for event. Hal, who typically likes to be low key, enjoyed the days events. For him, restoring flathead engines is more than a hobby, its a great way not only to do something he loves but also to meet people and in this case, bring the community together. In addition to the Rumble, the Cooking up a Furnace was held at 3 pm at the historic Opera House in Fayette. An independent and free standing rural arts institute, the Opera House is host to many local events and also functions as the Fayette site for the Fulton County Senior Center. Sponsored by the Fayette Arts Council and the Opera House, the Cooking up a Furnace served as a fundraiser for the new heating and cooling system for the first floor of the Opera House. The fundraising event included a Pampered Chef cooking show hosted by Cathy Leininger. For only $5, participants were treated to a culinary workshop with food samples, a gift and coupon bag, and a Pampered Chef cookbook. In addition to the income generated from ticket sales, one third of the Pampered Chef sales directly were used to offset the cost of the recently installed replacement furnace and new air conditioning system in the Opera House. This event honored not only the role of the automotive industrys development and influence on the village of Fayette but also the many local businesses that are vital to small communities.

CONTINUATION OF WAUSEON NEWS:

like to discuss the matter further and schedule another meeting. Councilor Shane Chamberlin asked several questions about the projects planned as they relate to the rate increases and at what point it was determined that the replacements would be needed. Director of Public Service Dennis Richardson explained that the city tries to be frugal and work with what they can to minimize the cost of repairs but that there comes a time when repairs no longer work and replacements are needed to do the aging of materials. Councilor Jeffrey Stiriz added that there was a study conducted several years ago that helped determine what the rates would need to be in order to keep up with replacement costs for both equipment and infrastructure. Council Heather Kost added that a schedule of anticipated replacement dates would be helpful and that if the entire infrastructure is the same age that it could be damaging to the citys budget as all of the replacements would need done at the same time. Councilor Chamberlin also stated that he would like to see some of the projects presented move forward so that they are not all presented to council at one time. He continued by expressing his concern that once the rates are raised that the work will not be done in a timely manner and asked Director of Finance Jamie Giguere to clarify existing balances in the accounts that are designed to cover such repairs. Giguere explained that while there is approximately $2 million in those accounts that the city needs to maintain a surplus in case of emergency. This was also addressed by Richardson who cited the need for a reserve of funds for unexpected expenses, such as the CO2 tank that the city recently needed to replace. Mayor Doug Shaw also commented that the projects will more than likely not happen all at once and will, instead, happen over the course of time. Councilor Don Mathews also added that if there is money available and the city can afford to spend the money that he would like to see some of the projects on the list being completed. Councilor Chamberlin added that if light fixtures need replaced then that should be getting done. In response to the question of how Wauseons water and sewer rates compare to other nearby localities, Mayor Shaw noted that, per a study done several years

Wauseon City Council Discusses Water & Sewer Rate Increases

ago, Wauseons rates remain some of the lowest in the area. Councilor Mathews added that Wauseon still maintains the second lowest rate in Fulton County. Mayor Shaw explained that should the city decide to raise rates that they will not be out of line and are projecting towards the future. Councilor Chamberlin thanked Council President Krumm and the Utility Committee for waiting for to have another meeting and for conducting further investigation into the matter of raising rates the 5% that they are slated to be raised on November 1 and then moved to replace the light fixtures at the Water Reclamation Plant. The motion was seconded by Krumm and carried with no objections. Following the discussion of water rates, Councilor Mathews reported to council, on behalf of the Tree Commission, that the Commission is going to try to plant 15 trees each year at Homecoming Park for the next four years. He also informed council that letters were written to property owners about the removal of dead trees and that the Commission is working on nominees for next years Booster of the Year Award. Regional Planning Director David Wright reported that he has been approached by two property owners in the downtown area about possible funding and that he has been working with these property owners to find out the scope of the projects and whether or not they have the capacity to bring their properties up to code. Wright has been working with the owner of one potential business downtown to determine if the owner is eligible for Revolving Loan funds. Fire Chief Rick Sluder informed council that the department will be doing safety education programs throughout the schools over the remainder of Fire Safety month and reminded council that the Feather Party is scheduled for November 16. Police Chief Keith Torbet reported that the department has been conditionally approved for the Bull Proof Vest grant and that they will also be submitting their application for the JAG-LE grant. Code Administrator Tom Hall noted that he has also been fielding some phone calls regarding the downtown business that Wright had previously mention and that Northwest Foam Products is putting on a large addition. Director of Public Service Dennis Richardson reported that ODOT is requiring the city to do a Phase I Environmental Study on nine properties for the Linfoot Street Project and that the Airport sanitary sewer project is done. Director of Finance Jamie Giguere reminded council that the City will soon be able to accept credit card payments and distributed the September, 2013 Month to Date, and Income Tax Revenue reports to council. Director of Law Thomas McWatters III reported that he has been working with Chief Torbet, reviewing the Lexipol Polices and Procedures Manual for the police department. He has also been working on matters pertaining to the Revolving Loan Fund and noted that Dons Automotive is seeking subordination to the citys original loan and that there will soon be a meeting regarding that loan. McWatters also noted that the Dons Automotive loan is typical business procedure but that there are a few other loans he will be needing to work on collections of. McWatters has also been working on the current medical insurance policy and an employee meeting has been scheduled to go over the policy. In legislative matters, a first reading of Resolution 2013-30 which authorizes the Mayor to enter into an agreement for indigent defense services in County Court with the Fulton County Commissioners. A first reading of Ordinance 2013-9, which would repeal Section 2 of Ordinance 1999-18 and Section 20 of Ordinance 1990-35. This ordinance pertains to repealing the cap on crossing guard pay and would allow for them to receive pay raises as scheduled. There were no second readings of legislation. A third reading of Ordinance 2013-7, amending the Codified Ordinances of the City of Wauseon to add Section 719, Sweepstakes Internet Caf to Part Seven Business Regulation Code was held and passed with no objections. The ordinance will go into effect in 30 days. A third reading of Ordinance 20138, amending sections 505.17 and 957 of the Codified Ordinances of the City of Wauseon was also held. The ordinance is in regard to the codification of park rules, passed with no objections, and will go into effect in 30 days. In new business Mayor Shaw informed council that both Ottawa Oil Co., (Courtview Mart), 151 S. Fulton Street and Downtown Billiards LLC, 123 N. Fulton Street have filed applications for Liquor Permits. The Ottawa Oil application is for a C1 and C2 permit and the Downtown Billiards application is for a D5 and D6 permit. The Downtown Billiards application is in regard to the permit they purchased out of Lucas County and moved to Wauseon as part of the TREX program. Council had no questions regarding either permit and no public hearings were requested. At the end of the meeting Councilor Mathews also asked about the passing out of smoke detectors. Chief Sluder explained that the funds for the project come out of the funds raised by the Feather Party and that the department usually spends approximately $1000 a year on the project. The detectors, which are usually passed out to first graders, are packaged and ready to be distributed. With no further matters being brought before council, Mayor Shaw asked for a motion to adjourn the meeting. Chelsie Firestone can be reached at chelsie@thevillagereporter.com

October 4, 2013 was National Manufacturing Day. In recognition of National Manufacturing Day the Williams County Economic Development Corporation and the Community Improvement Corporation of Henry County, in cooperation with the US Route 6 Manufacturers Roundtable, hosted bus tours in which school Representatives were given the opportunity to tour various manufacturers across each county. The tours were being conducted in an effort to raise awareness among our local youth of the local jobs available in the skilled trades. Across the country, the demand for skilled labor is increasing at a dramatic pace. The increase is due in large part to the baby boomer generation reaching retirement age. It is also due to more technical knowledge and training to being required by manufacturers as their methods and processes continue to become more innovative and dependent upon improved technology. Locally, it is estimated that over forty percent of the skilled workforce will reach retirement age within ten years. Currently, there is not an adequate supply of students from our schools and community colleges that are enrolled in skilled labor education programs to replace this generation of retirees. Without an increase in our youths awareness of the opportunities available, the lack of new skilled laborers will have widespread

economic consequences. This increased demand for skilled labor has resulted in many rewarding opportunities available to the youth of our country. In many cases, these opportunities can be realized without the expense and time of a four year college degree. In fact, most local skilled labor positions only require a two year associates degree or less. Further, these positions often have starting salaries in excess of $40,000 and full benefits. Bus tour is being provided to raise awareness of these local opportunities and to increase interest among our local youth in pursuing a career in the skilled trades as an alternative to a four year degree. Williams Countys bus tour included Representatives from Bryan, Edgerton, Pioneer, West Unity, Montpelier, NW State Community College, Four County Career Center, Job Works, NW Ohio Job Center, JOB1USA, and Ohio District 1 Senator Cliff Hite. The tour made stops at Airmate Company, Powers & Sons, 20/20 Custom Molded Plastics, Menard, Inc., Kamco, Arrow Truline, and Altenloh, Brink & Co., Group (Tru-Fast).

Devotional Thought / Fellowship of Christian Athletes

By: Rex Stump - Right Path!
their own thing. Whether its instinct or bad judgment, sometimes an athlete will not trust their defensive or offensive play calling. Ive watched a hitter take the wrong approach in volleyball and completely miss the set. Ive seen golfers take the wrong approach and hit their golf ball into the rough. Ive never witnessed a Cross Country runner take the wrong path...but Im sure its happened. Before we get upset at those athletes, how many of us have done the same thing off the playing field? Maybe we are assembling furniture and we choose to ignore the directions and do it ourselves. How many of us actually downloaded the instructions before setting up our electronic devices? Ever read a computer manual? Ever cook something without fully reading the directions? Ever try to live for God without reading the Bible? I think we are all guilty of doing our own thing. The Bible used different terminology to describe doing our own thing - its called taking the wrong path. In the book of Judges, you can read how generation after generation grew up not acknowledging the Lord or the mighty things He did for them. They chose their own path. It says in Judges 2:16-17, Then the Lord raised up judges to rescue the Israelites from their attackers. Yet Israel did not listen to the judges but prostituted themselves by worshiping other gods. How quickly they turned away from the path of their ancestors, who had walked in obedience to the Lords commands. Read that slowly, then read it again! Israel did not listen! They turned away from the path of their ancestors, those who had walked the right path, they walked in obedience to the Lord. Its really simple; there is a way that leads to life. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes unto the Father except through me. (John 14:6) There is a right path to God, through Jesus Christ. That is how we find salvation. But then we continue to follow our Savior by the way we live each day choosing the right path of obedience. Proverbs 14:12; There is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death. Dont go with your gut instinct or with what may seem good, choose the path that is obedient to Gods commands. He is the ultimate coach, with a victorious game plan! For more reading, check out Proverbs 14:2 and Psalm 25:3-5.

Winning The Battle For A Generation

Guess Whos Watching You?
In the wake of the 2013 NSA data spying controversy, The Wall Street Journal ran an article titled Phones Leave a Telltale Trail. The authors note that everyone who owns a cell phone creates metadata that leaves a digital trail. While each individual crumb of data might seem insignificant, when its combined and analyzed, it provides one of the most powerful investigative tools ever devised. By tracing our metadata, investigators can pinpoint where we were or where we are at this moment. Heres an example from an imaginary smart phone user named Geoff: Geoff poses by a waterfall and snaps a selfportrait, which he immediately tweets, then emails to his grandmother. Geoffs text, photo, and email ascend a series of remote servers, each dragging their own trails of metadata. Once there, the metadata may be extracted and interpreted by any interested party with access. Thanks to the above digital trail, without ever having met Geoff, we know he was at Shoshone Falls near Twin Falls, Idaho, at 3:57 P.M. on April 22nd that he has a certain brand of smart phone and that he speaks English. Whatever may bug us about the governments technological ability to track personal and even private information, have we given thought to the biblical truth of Guess Whos Watching You? Psalm 33:13-15 tells us The Lord looks down from heaven and sees the whole human race. From His throne He observes all who live on the earth. He made their hearts, so he understands everything they do (NLT).

Ever hear a football coach scream at his running back to hit the hole!? In that moment, there is a play and there is a place for that the running back to follow.

Im sure we question why they dont stick to the game plan, the play, or the route.

Community members took part in the annual C.R.O.P. walk Sunday as they walked past all Wauseon churches within the downtown area to bring awareness to hunger.

By: Bill Bray THE VILLAGE REPORTER Community members gathered at the Congregational United Church of Christ Sunday after noon to bring awareness to world hunger by participating in the annual C.R.O.P. walk. The group had two options to go on a shorter walk or complete the task of walking by every church in the downtown Wauseon area. James Kerr, event coordinator, explained that the event is an annual event and there are over 2,000 communities that take part in the walk once a year. "We have certainly been blessed today with a beautiful day to walk and make people aware of the plight of the hunger that is realistic in all our community." 25% of the proceeds raised for the event were going to the Wauseon F.I.S.H. program.

Tracing Back The Roots Of Montpeliers First United Methodist Church

In 1869 a church was erected in Montpelier for a congregation of the United Brethren Church which had been active in Montpelier for at least twenty years. The congregation continued to grow in the community but a division in the United Brethren denomination in 1889 split the Montpelier United Brethren Church as well. A part of the Montpelier congregation broke away and sought to build a new building on Empire Street. By 1894 that building was dedicated and the congregation became known as First United Brethren Church. The name later became First Evangelical United Brethren Church when the denomination merged with the Evangelical Church in 1946. By 1960 First Evangelical United Brethren Church in Montpelier was growing and their church building on Empire Street was busting at the seams. A committee of Keith Miller, Richard Pressler, Ross Altaffer, Eldon Connolly, John Bidlack, Harold Bauer, and Keith Dickinson was formed to determine the feasibility of building a new church. They determined that the congregation should vote on the proposal to build a new church and after the vote was taken 89% of the congregation approved the proposal. Property was purchased in 1961 on what had been the Glen Strayer farm. By August 1962 a general contractor had been hired to erect a new church building at 1300 East Main Street in Montpelier. One year later, on September 14, 1963 the first service was held at the church with 438 in attendance for worship. A few weeks later, on October 20, 1963, a service of dedication, led by Reverend Richard Ward, was held for the new church building. The congregation at what is now known as First United Methodist Church has been a part of the Montpelier community for over 150 years but is celebrating its 50th anniversary at the 1300 East Main Street location on October 20, 2013, exactly 50 years from when the building was first dedicated. Pastor Jonathan Hanover will be leading a Service of Celebration at 10:30 a.m. followed by a meal in the Fellowship Hall of the church. There will be 50 years of pictures and mementos to enjoy together. We look forward to greeting both members and visitors to the church for the Celebration and sharing the many blessings God has given the congregation while we look toward our future in His service.

West Unity Village Council Bids Tearful Good-Bye To Fiscal Officer Beth Rediger

NEW PAINT ... The CCNO community service crew has been painting the old street barn on South Liberty Street. The service is free to the Village of the West Unity, which only needs to supply the materials needed for projects. Village Administrator Ric Beals, who sees the service as a win-win situation for everyone involved, is looking for projects that the crew can help the Village complete. By: Chelsie Firestone THE VILLAGE REPORTER Members of the West Unity Village Council, along with Mayor Peggy Bernath, gave a heartfelt good-bye to Beth Rediger, the villages fiscal officer for the last nine years, during their regularly scheduled meeting held on October 10. The Mayor and council all gave Rediger their best wishes as she moves on to assist Stryker Village Council and noted that she will be missed but that they are looking forward to working with the villages new fiscal officer, Rebecca Thatcher. During the meeting Village Administrator Ric Beals informed council that the north oxidation ditch is back up and running at the sewer plant and that they are still waiting on one of the pumps to be rebuilt. He believes that the village should have that pump back within the next week. Beals also informed council that the severe weather siren has sustained significant damage but believes that it can be repaired. At this time repair would be preferred over replacement, which would come at a cost of $21,500. Beals also confirmed that the Vactor truck that the village recently purchased, and which had significant transmission damage, is nearly repaired and that the costs of the repairs were paid by Doheney Companies, the company that the village purchased the truck from. It is believed that the new transmission will come with a one year warranty. Legislative matters brought before council included the approval of a change order and the final payment for Phase II of the Jackson Street project. Coming in at a final total of $93,069.78, the total costs was well under the estimated costs of over $100,000 and the approval and final payment passed with no objections. Mayor Bernath also requested that council pass a motion to draw up a contract between the village and Beth Rediger for contracted service as she continues to train and assist Rebecca Thatcher as she takes on the Fiscal Officer Role. The contract will allow for Redigers services through fiscal budgeting and other large scale projects that are completed annually. With the Mayors request for a 12 month contract, Council member Dave Chester suggested that they go ahead and approve the contract for the remainder of 2013 and all of 2014. Mayor Bernath was thankful for the offer. Redigers compensation for contracted services will be $25 per hour as needed throughout the remainder of 2013 and all of 2014. The motion to approve the drawing up of the contract was unanimously approved. Council also approved the request from the Hilltop senior football parents to hold a bonfire for the team prior to the Hilltop football teams final home game of the season. Afterwards council moved into executive session for the purposes of discussing personnel and compensation. No further actions were taken upon the return to open session and the meeting was adjourned.

The clarinet section welcomed some alumni into the fold during homecoming ceremonies.

The trombone section sounded as good as it did 31 years ago.

The trumpets had to try to keep up with excellent alumni trumpeters.

Auxiliary instructor Mandy Hunter was also on hand as a member of WHS alumni.

Mary Jo Rossman Bray returned to the Harmon Field turf and loved every minute of it.

Long-time band director James George returned to the ladder Friday night as he conducted the joint bands in the Wauseon High School alma mater.

For the second year, Wauseon High School invited alumni band members to return to play with the current band. The turnout was impressive and grew in leaps and bounds from last year.
