Game Designed By Montpeliers Jon Gilmour Soon To Be On Store Shelves

By: Chelsie Firestone THE VILLAGE REPORTER One Montpelier man has taken his love of games to new and exciting levels. More exciting for some than his success, however, might be that Jon Gilmours newly designed game, Dead of Winter: A Crossroads Game is not a role-playing game meant to be played by complete strangers from clear across the world. Its more meant to be played in the living room with friends. It was while looking for something to do aside from watching television that Jon and Jamie Gilmour found a passion for board games. Jon explains that Jamies family had always enjoyed traditional board and card games and that, after spending some time researching changes in board games over the last several years, he was able to find several games that appealed to the whole family. Not long afterwards, Jamie held a birthday for Jon where the couple spent the whole day playing board games with friends and family. Truly enjoying both the games and the social aspect of playing the games with others, the event quickly took on a life of its own. The couple now hosts anywhere from 20 to 50 people who come to socialize over games at the couples home one night every month. This love of games, along with his wifes support, helped to inspire Gilmour to develop Dead of Winter, a game with a target audience of fourteen years and older that Gilmour describes as a meta-cooperative psychological survival game. Gilmour explains that the game puts two to five players together in a small, weakened colony of
City Of Wauseon Begins Work On Spring Improvement Projects

By: Chelsie Firestone THE VILLAGE REPORTER The majority of Wauseons City Council meeting held on March 3 was devoted to looking ahead towards spring and continued work on improvements around the city. Upon approval of the prior meetings minutes, council first heard from the Utility Committee, which had met previously on February 27. Councilor Fred Allen reported for the committee that they had discussed the painting and refurbishing of the water tower on Shoop Avenue and that the committee was recommending that the project be bid out as soon as possible in order for the project to be completed during the upcoming construction meeting. Later in the meeting Resolution 2014-02, which authorizes the Mayor to advertise for bids for the painting, upgrading, and renovation of the tower; to accept the lowest bid; and to enter into a contract with lowest and best bidder, passed under emergency language. With passage under emergency language there is no need to wait for the normally required three readings and the city may open up the project for bids immediately. Councilor Shane Chamberlin also inquired about a previous discussion held in the fall that had focused on the replacement of some of the lights at the Water Reclamation Plant. Director of Public Service Dennis Richardson responded that he will look into the status on that project. Councilor Chamberlin also reported on behalf of the Street Committee which had met just prior to the council meeting. Chamberlin informed council that The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) now offers to do bridge inspections at no cost for municipalities so long that it is understood that the municipality will still be held responsible for the cost of any necessary repairs. Richardson added that the City of Wauseon is responsible for the bridge on Glenwood by the high school, the new bridge at the Oak Street extension and the bridge on Burr Road. The bridge on Shoop Avenue is not the responsibility of the City. Councilor Kathy Huner moved and was seconded by Chamberlin in a recommendation that the City participate in the ODOT Program for Bridge Inspection Services. Legislation will follow at a later meeting. After hearing from the committees, council moved on to hear from the various department heads. Regional Planning Director David Wright reported that he has continued his work on the Revolving Loan Fund, which provides funds that can be used for other community purposes such as grant money and which is not strictly reclusive to revolving loans. Wright also noted that the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) information will be shared publicly as well as that he has been speaking

survivors in a world where most of humanity has either died or has turned into diseased, fleshcraving monsters. Each player leads a faction of survivors with dozens of different characters in the game and the players are working together toward one common victory condition survival of the colony. However, for any individual player to achieve victory, he or she must also complete their own personal secret objective. This objective could relate to a psychological tick that is fairly harmless to the rest of the colony, a dangerous obsession that could put the main objective at risk, a desire to sabotage the main mission, or even vengeance against the entire colony. Game scenarios could end with all players winning, all players losing, or any combination of winners

and losing as players attempt to work towards both a common goal and a personal goal at the same time. Gilmour also explains that he came up with the concept of Dead of Winter almost four years ago and that the first few months were spent coming up with the initial design of the game. He also notes that the longest part of the process was in playtesting trying things out, throwing out what didnt work, and fixing what didnt work the way he wanted them to. This, Gilmour explains, is often the hardest part as it relied on his willingness to throw out attributes of the game that he personally loved but were simply not working. After playing the game with his friend Isaac Vega, about eight months into the process, a ...

Montpelier Civic League Packs The House For Annual Casino Night Event
The Montpelier Civic League enjoyed a packed house at their annual Casino Night event on March 8. The Civic League, which dates back over 50 years, is a non profit organization that works to raise funds to donate back into the community. Giving out at least three scholarships a year, and in more recent years six, the Civic League also donates to school and park organizations as well as the Humane Society, Relay for Life, and the United Way. Depending on how much is raised, the organization gives out approximately six to ten thousand dollars each year. With the train playground equipment purchased last spring for the Primary School park, the Montpelier Civic League donated over $21,000 back into the community in 2013. Aside from the Annual Casino Night, which sold out for the first time in 2014, the Civic League also raises money through assisting the Athena Study Club at the donut booth at the Williams County Fair.

partnership was born. At the time Vega had several of his own games being developed and on their way out into the market and, seeing the potential in Gilmours original conception of the game as well as the changes Gilmour was making, offered to help by stepping in as a co-designer. Not only did Gilmour figure that Vega could devote more time to it than he could alone, he also knew that he worked better when he had someone to bounce ideas off of. Along with Vega, Gilmour also credits his wife Jamie for her support during the process of the game development. Gilmour notes that My family is a huge part of my gaming life. My wife is my gaming nemesis, and one of the most brutal gamers I know. She wont hesitate to crush me in just about any game. I also love gaming with my kids and try to do it as much as possible. Jamie is also crucial in my design process. She gets to hear me drone on about initial designs and ideas I have. She gets to play the initial (horrible) versions of games I am working on. She is also very honest in her feedback, which is important. We both feel that being your spouses biggest cheerleader is important in a marriage, but during those early stages of a design, being brutally honest about what works and what does not is important. Because Vega had an existing relationship with Plaid Hat Games, Gilmour and Vega presented it to Colby Dauch, owner of Plaid Hat games, at GenCon, a large gaming convention in Indianapolis. Dauch like what he saw and offered to sign and publish
Game Designed By Montpeliers Jon Gilmour ...

it. Several more changes as a result of playtesting, as well as finding an artist and getting the graphic design finished, came from there. The rights to Dead of Winter are now held by Plaid Hat Games and the game can be pre-ordered, with a free promotional character, through their website at www.plaidhatgames.com. Once printing is completed, the game will be available in stores nation wide. In regards to games in general, Gilmour also explains that a lot of people think Monopoly and Risk when they hear board gaming, but there is an entire world of games out there that you wont find at Wal-Mart. (There are) games about pretty much anything that interests you and with tons of great social interaction that video gaming does not have. There are some really great resources for finding out about the modern board game scene online and I suggest anyone that is even a little interested look into it. For anyone who might have interests in designing such a game themselves, Gilmour also notes that there is a fairly large self publication moving going on in games that is similar to the self publication movement in books. He explains that the board game market has exploded over the last fifteen years and keeps growing every year. Those interested in game design can visit sites like www.kickstarter.com and www. thegamecrafter.com, which allow people to design games and then publish outside of the designer/publisher system.

REFLECTIONS OF THE PAST

1966 Montpelier 8th Grade Officers
Jim Barron was born in Montpelier, Ohio and still visits the area from time to time. Jim may be a familiar voice in the mornings to those who listen to WBCL out of Fort Wayne, IN. He loves working in radio and he and his fellow morning crew members, Phil Reaser and Larry Bower, were recently awarded the Spectrum Award by the Indiana Association of Broadcasters for Best Morning Show in Indiana. This is the third time they have won the award since 2005. Jim attended Vincennes University and received his degree in Broadcast Communications in 1981. A few of his other radio credits include stints at WOWO Radio and WAJI. Jim said he has been interested in magic since I was about 10 years old and my influences in that area were Doug Henning, Mark Wilson and Harry Blackstone Jr. He would perform a lot for his classmates at school. Jim remembers, There werent as many outlets for learning magic back then as there are today so I read and reread every book on magic in the school library. After Id read all those, I visited the library in Edon, Ohio
Jim Barron which was just across the state line from my home in Alvarado and read all theirs too. His biggest highlight was when Harry Blackstone was in the audience when I was performing for my peers and he told me how much he enjoyed my performance. I'm also a big fan of David Copperfield. Unusual and notable performances by Mr. Barron include escaping from a regulation straight jacket before nine thousand people during halftime at the first Ft. Wayne Freedom football game. He also successfully predicted the final score of a Ft. Wayne Wizards baseball game before a record, sold out crowd. These days Jim spend a great deal of his performing time at churches, festivals and doing fundraising shows for schools and churches. He also does a fair amount of performing for corporations. Jim has been married to his adorable wife, Kathie, for twenty years. They have four grown children and he currently resides in Indiana. Anyone can check out Jim and his upcoming shows or schedule an event though his website at www.jimbarronshows. com. Jennifer Manlove may be reached at

Hilltop High School; Jr. High Students Receive New Chrome Books For School Year
Daddy-Daughter Dance Held In West Unity
CHROME BOOKS ... Mike Bumb, Jr. High Social Studies Teacher at Hilltop immediately put Hilltops Chrome Books in use during class instruction. By: Mark Mercer THE VILLAGE REPORTER WEST UNITY, March 7, 2014-Students at Hilltop High School and Hilltop Junior High received a boost to their educational toolkit available at Hilltop Schools with the issue of new Samsung Chrome Books to the entire 7th through 12th grade student body, along with a protective covering. The new Chrome Books, issued on Monday, March 3, will belong to each student for the duration of the school year. Each student receiving the new computer paid a $5.00 fee, which will be used towards insurance, protecting both the student and school from loss in the case of an accident or other damage. Hilltop Schools Superintendent Larry Long, in an announcement posted to the community through the school systems monthly newsletter, stated regarding the upgrade in technology for the students, I feel we are behind and we have a lot of catch-up work to do in the technology area. It is our intent that we will be making a strong move forward on our technology piece as this is an area that is important to our students and their future regardless of path of life they chose to pursue. Several schools in our area already have programs like this going so I want our students and staff to have the same advantages afforded to them that other schools offer. We know this is a very competitive society and any edge that we can give our kids I am all for it as I believe this is one of our responsibilities. As for the timing of the new laptop issues, Superintendent Long said We are putting this project in place during the second semester for basic introduction and for both students and staff to utilize and get comfortable in what we are going to be able to do with this endeavor now and into the future. By moving in this direction, it will free up our current labs, mobile labs, and extra JH/HS classroom computers are to be shifted to our elementary as we start to work on keyboarding at those various grade levels. Students at Hilltop are excited about the Chrome Book issue, as many feel it will enhance their educational experience. The Chrome Books will afford the students an extra tool to use on a day-to-day basis, and also are set up for student to student e mail, which many feel will open communication and make project work more efficient. Freshman Leah Carothers, when asked how she felt about the newly issued Chrome Book stated, I am excited about having them and I believe they will come in handy for our school work throughout the day; Im very happy about getting the computer!

Walking The Halls At Fayette
By: Erik Belcher SUPERINTENDENT As I walk the hallways at Fayette, I am reminded of my days growing up in a small town and attending a small school where I was made to feel I could do great things in this world and make my family, my school, and my community proud. I was blessed with teachers who cared about students, community members who took great pride in providing a thriving vibrant community to live in, and parents who set clear and firm expectations in how I represented my family, my church, and my community. I learned from an early age that service to others is more important than to serving yourself and that young eyes were always watching you. What I see at Fayette brings back those same feelings in a community that made me who I am today. As I walk through the halls, stand outside greeting students and parents, attending extracurricular events I see that a firm handshake and looking a person in the eyes still means something. Where a simple smile and a compliment are appreciated and reciprocated. I see students and adults alike that treat others with dignity and class and look to serve others beyond themselves. I see a community that becomes stronger and closer through adversity. I see a community and school that faith plays an important role in defining who we are. Fayette is proud to say we value each and every one of our students, parents, and community members alike. Fayette is a place where we are not afraid to express our faith through being the only school in Fulton County that has 80 elementary students that attend Church Release every month in partnership with the Fayette Ministerial Association. Where we establish Christmas traditions of allowing students to attend a community Christmas program at our local churches similar to the experiences I had as a child. At some point each and every one of us must be defined by our actions. The actions that I see as I walk the halls at Fayette are those of genuine caring for others, the development of the whole person, and the selflessness that allows us to serve others ahead of ourselves. I see a school where we are not afraid to serve and develop well rounded students who will leave our halls and do great things in this world one action at a time. I see a school that is proud of our past and excited for our future. Call me old fashioned but the characteristics I see walking the halls at Fayette are the same characteristics that have made this country great. We are proud of who we are, what we do and how we serve. Walking the halls at Fayette reaffirms the belief that there are good things going on this world and that our heritage and roots are alive in Fayette Ohio.

with representatives from Sarahs Garden regarding expansion of the facility. Director of Public Service Dennis Richardson reported that the citys opportunity to purchase salt under their current contract for $37.51 per ton expired at the end of February. However, this was a large savings for the city as the cost of salt rose to as much as $100 per ton over the course of the winter and the city has been able to stock pile and currently has plenty of salt on hand. Richardson also reported that there was a water main break on North Shoop Avenue near Dairy Queen that resulted in the water having to be turned off for a period of time. Richardson expressed his gratitude towards local business owners for their understanding and cooperation as the break resulted in two nights worth of work for the Public Works crews. Richardson also reported that he and Lou Thourot have visited Dmytryka Jacobs Engineering to discuss pending projects at the Water Treatment Plant. Regarding the Linfoot Street project, Richardson reported that he has learned that the city may have to perform more soil borings as, based on the environmental study, certain properties may need further testing. Richardson also informed council that he has received a report from the Ohio EPA regarding their visit and inspection of the Water Reclamation Plant on February 11 and that everything was found to be satisfactory. The inspection was related to the pretreatment program and Wauseon has three industries using the program. Richardson, along with Dave Pike also visited the Wastewater Plant in Luna Pier, Michigan to look at the clarifier drives and mechanisms installed by the facility in the last year in order to assess how the propped plans at Wauseons facility compare. During his report Richardson also noted that he has been informed by Michele Ryder that ARS Refuse is still working on new refuse tags but may not be prepared to put information in the water bills until next month. In response to a question posed by Council President Heather Kost regarding some of the larger potholes that have developed over the course of the winter cold, Richardson noted that the Public Works Department has been working at filling the holes as quickly as they can. Other reports heard by council included a report from Fire Chief Rick Sluder, who reported that, over the course of January and February, the Fire Department had dealt with over 200 calls. While this number is high over the winter months, Sluder noted that there was nothing major to report on any call activity. Sluder also provided each council member with a packet of information about the Fire Department. The packet explained the requirements to be on the Fire Department and for a volunteer to maintain their membership with the department. Councilor Chamberlin in-
quired as to how many volunteers are currently with the deparment. Sluder reported that there are currently 30 volunteers, a number close in proximity to the average of 35 that the department has maintained over the years. Police Chief Keith Torbet reported that the next Drug Take Back Day will be held on Saturday, April 26 from 10:00 a.m to 2:00 p.m. Unwanted prescription drugs can be taken to Rite Aid and Wal-Mart as well as the Police Department. Anyone who has pills to return but cannot make it during that time can take the pills back to the Police Department before that time. In response to an inquiry made by Councilor Huner, Chief Torbet explained that Healthy Choice Caring Communities helps to communicate the event by advertising on the radio, in local newspapers, and on facebook pages. Torbet also noted that there has been a good turnout in the past. Later in the meeting the chief also explained that a good deal of pills come back from nursing homes and those people who receive prescriptions for pain medication but only take two or three pills. Torbet also explained that anyone who has any medication in pill form can simply put it into a Ziploc bag and drop it off at any of the above named locations. Director of Finance Jamie Giguere reported that she had provided the income tax revenue report for the year to date as well as that the city is still within budget as of the month end for February. Director of Law Thomas McWatters III reported that he is working on several projects for Chief Torbet, Tom Hall, and Dennis Richardson. As the Mayors Annual Report was also passed out prior to the meeting, McWatters also expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to serve the Mayor, Council, and the City of Wauseon. New business brought before council during the meeting dealt with power cots and a loading system for the Fire Department. Councilor Don Mathews moved and was seconded by Councilor Hunter to authorize the Director of Finance to reallocate $51,610 from the Capital Income Tax Account entitled Transfer Out to the Capital Income Tax Account entitled Fire Department to provide the funding for equipment. Remarking on his annual report, Mayor Doug Shaw commented that 2013 was a good year and that, along with several improvements made throughout the city, Wauseon is financially stronger than it has been in previous years. He noted that revenues and expenses will continue to be monitored and thanked City Council members, the Law Department, and City employees for a productive year. Upon approval of the bills, the meeting was adjourned with no further action being taken. Chelsie Firestone can be reached at

Meteorological Spring Arrives, While ...

mal. This ranked as the 13th wettest February since 1912. Measurable precipitation fell on ten days with the greatest 24 hour precipitation being 1.14 inches on the first. Snowfall for February was 19.2 inches, which was 11.5 inches above normal. This ranked as the third snowiest February on record and the snowiest February since 1908. Snow fell on more than half the days of the month. Measurable snow fell on twelve days during the month and the greatest 24 hour snowfall was 6.2 inches on the fifth. There was at least one inch of snow cover on the ground every day in February. This has only happened in five other years: 1914, 1978, 1979, 1982 and 2007. This is not all that bad though, as it provided cover to prevent the winter wheat from being freeze-dried into a powder. Looking at the snowfall from the perspective of the meteorological winter of 2013-14, you see numbers that are staggering in the data they describe. When you add up all the days where a snowfall of 1/10 of an inch or greater came down, you start to see what we have endured. December: 12 days. January: 17 days. February: 12 days. Added up, the 90 days of meteorological winter saw 41 days of measurable snowfall...an all-time record. When it came to even a light dusting of snow, those numbers were even more profound...63 days. So, for the meteorological winter of 2013-14, you could expect to see some form of snowfall every 1.428 days. Measurable snowfall could be expected every 2.195 days. The Climate Prediction Center, who last month acknowledged that their prognostications so far have been fluctuating between abysmal and mediocre in their accuracy, got their updated February info out on the streets just prior to the start of the month, and this time around that were more accurate than not. Looking ahead to March 2014, they are predicting our area to be normal in precipitation, and a probability between 50 and 60 percent that we will be below normal in temperatures. With the Polar Vortex spending so much time here that it seems to have earned its own zip code, anyone agreeing with the CPC forecast please signify by raising your mitten-covered hand.

inches falling at the KFWA observation station at Fort Wayne International Airport. The overall winter weather pattern that has kept the central United States very cold continued into February. There was a brief breakdown in the ridge during the middle of the month, and this allowed temperatures to briefly warm above normal. This temporary reprieve from the deep freeze was painfully brief as the Polar Vortex, a phenomena that has made more curtain calls than an overhyped Broadway musical, returned yet again for an end of the month chillfest. Let us start off by examining those temperatures in the short and long term. There were only six days in February with a daily average temperature above normal, and five of these days were consecutive between February 18 and 22. The warmest day occurred on February 20 with a high of 49, a low of 28, and an average temperature of 39. Although this was only nine degrees above normal, it was enough to make people park their parkas in favor of jackets. Hah...big mistake! 16 of the 28 days of February saw average daily temperatures ten degrees or more below normal. February 11 was the coldest day of the month, with an average temperature that was 29 degrees below normal. The coldest temperature in February also occurred on this morning with 16 below zero recorded at KFWA. The average monthly temperature was just 17.6 degrees, which was 10.7 degrees below normal. This ranked as the fifth coldest February since 1912. February 1978 was the coldest February with an average temperature of 11.8 degrees. There were eight days with a low temperature below zero. February 1978 holds the record of 18 days with a low temperature of zero or colder. For the meteorological winter of 201314, our area was bone chillingly frigid. In continuing the little blurb from my report of last month, Defiance sees an average of 5.2 days per meteorological winter with temperatures below zero. This season they have registered 19, the same number for Fort Wayne which should only see 6.5 days. The meteorological winter of 201314 was the sixth coldest on record with an average temperature of 20.7 degrees. Precipitation for February was 3.49 inches, which was 1.45 inches above nor-

the toxicity that they still have and what that means for themselves, their families, and the community. The importance of using personal protection equipment was reinforced. The difference between chronic and acute effects of pesticides was given. For instance, the chronic affects can be various types of cancer, reproductive issues, allergic reaction, and liver damage. The acute effects have immediate poisoning on the victim. It is important for applicators to understand each of the products they are using. Each products packaging tells you what personal protection equipment is needed when applying as well as the levels of cautions. The second half of the presentation was presented via a recording of Dr. Mark Loux from The Ohio State University. His presentation was on various topics from the control of Marestail in No-Till Soybeans to the new products that are available for applicators. The next meeting will be held on March 10th, with the topic of Hicksville Auto Recyclers, led by Courtney Glore. All meetings take place in the Edon High School Agriculture Room beginning at 7:30 p.m. Event parking is available in the lot located on the west side of the school closest to the large overhead door; you may enter in the doors nearby.

Winning The Battle For A Generation

DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WERE CREATED TO DO?
I read an article recently in a blog on the website One Voice written by Dr. Robert Jeffries on Playing your part well, that raised a great question; Do You Know What Your Assignment is? Or as I have restated the question, Do You Know What You Were Created to Do? The article went on to state Kenneth Ulmer relates a story about a criminology course he took in college. He says that he cut that class every which way but loose. But when he heard about an assignment to write a research paper, he poured himself into the project, hoping he could compensate for his frequent absences. The professor returned Ulmers paper with this evaluation: Good paper, great content, great research. But on the paper was a giant F circled in red, accompanied by an explanation: But this was not the assignment. Ulmer says that he learned a valuable lesson that day: It does not matter how well you do what you do, if you do not do what you should do. What a great principle to remember for completing any assignment, especially the one God has given to each of us. If we dont understand the role God assigned us to perform in this life, how can we accurately evaluate our successes or failures? The executive who finally receives the title of chairman, the worker who accumulates a million dollars in his 401(k) plan, and the pastor who builds a church of 10,000 may consider themselves successful...until the day they hear God say, But that wasnt the assignment. Similarly, some people who stumble in life through a broken marriage, bankruptcy, termination, or unrealized dreams still have the possibility of hearing God say, Well done, good and faithful servant! How is that possible? When we connect our mistakes to the role God has assigned us, then what we term failure can actually become a success. The Westminster Confession of Faith states that the chief end of man is glorify God and enjoy Him forever. Ah, to glorify God, what an assignment! The Apostle Paul puts it this way 1 Corinthians 6:20 (NIV), 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.

BY: REX STUMP - STANDING CLOSER THAN A BROTHER!
In the spring of 1984 the Special Veterans Committee elected Pee Wee Reese to the Hall of Fame. Pee Wee Reese was known as an outstanding defensive player and the captain of the Brooklyn Dodger teams of the 1940s and 50s. What you may not know is that his friendship with Jackie Robinson helped Robinsons acceptance in baseball. There was an unforgettable moment in May of 1947, when during a game in Cincinnati, Jackie Robinson was facing death threats and taunts from racial hecklers. It was during that moment in which Reese went out of his way to support Robinson by walking over from short to second and putting his arm around his teammates shoulder. A simple gesture challenged prejudice and created a powerful and enduring friendship. There is a verse in Proverbs that talks about a friend that is closer than a brother - There are friends who destroy each other, but a real friend sticks closer than a brother. (Proverbs 18:24) Do you have a friend like that? A friend that sticks closer than a brother? Its a blessing from God to have friends like that. Do you have a small group, a team, at least one person you can lean on or is willing to put their arm around you and support you? I cant imagine coaching alone. Parenting alone. Living life alone. Matter of fact, when God created the world everything He made was good! There was only one thing mentioned in Genesis chapter two that was NOT good. Do you know what it was? Mosquitos? Snow? Genesis 2:18 says, Then the Lord God said, It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him. There it is! Its NOT good for man to be alone! I understand that alone is easy today, especially if you have been hurt in a relationship. Trust is not an easy thing for everyone and selfishness quickly derails most friendships. Everyone seems to be on the go and no one has time to stop by and see how you are doing. I get it. And yet...no excuses, God wants us to BE a good friend to others. You may have problems relying on others, trusting them to be there for you - I understand. So instead of waiting for someone to be there for you, YOU be there for them. You take the initiative to go and stand by the person that looks alone and is hurting. They need the love and grace of God expressed to them in a tangible way. For the friends you have - the teammates you work with - give God thanks. For those who have recently stepped up and put their arm around you - give God thanks. Now go put your arm around a friend in need - the greatest gift you can give those close friends in your life is yourself! For more reading, check out: Romans 5:10, James 4:4, and Proverbs 27:10 & 27:17.
Prom Event & Fundraiser At West Clinton Mennonite Church

By: Kay Raypholtz
Spring will soon be on its way, and that means the arrival of prom season. The spirits of high school juniors and seniors are high, but so is the cost of attending the prom. When the price of a ticket, a dress or suit, shoes, a bag, hair, and makeup are combined, it can break a teens or parents budget. Lori King of the West Clinton Mennonite Church near Wauseon has a solution. The Beauty Comes from the Heart Prom Open House and Charity Fundraiser will be held for the second year in a row at the church on March 14 from 3:30pm to 7:30 pm and on Saturday, March 15 from 10:00am to 4:00pm at the West Clinton Mennonite Church on the corners of County Road C and County Road 18, Wauseon, Ohio. There are over 90 gently used, and some new, prom dresses available for a donation. Shoes and bags are also available, with some jewelry and wraps also on
hand. Young women can learn hair and makeup tips as well, and there will be booths where they can receive instructions, and also learn about doing their nails. The idea for this event came about when Loris niece was selling the popular Jamberry Nails, and wished to get the product to teen girls for their proms. Although these will not be a feature of this years event, Lori still wanted to do something for the young ladies for prom. She found out that the church had done a prom dress donation event a few years earlier, and many of the dresses were still available. The church gave all of the over-100 dresses to Lori for her event. Last year, sixteen girls participated and received twelve of the dresses with the young women paying only what they could afford to donate. This year, King has had more publicity, and has contacted schools in the four county area, as well as schools in Michigan that border the north-
western counties. Lori, a mother of three grown sons, has a heart for the young women, and wanted to make sure that no young lady missed prom because she could not afford to spend a lot of money for their prom. She said that in addition to learning how to style their hair and do their makeup and nails, they can learn how to craft pieces for their hair and clips to decorate their shoes. They will also have prom magazines and hair style magazines on hand. Cosmetic samples such as lipstick and teeth whitening products are also being provided. So far, they have only one suit available for a young man, but hope to have more suits donated for the future. King can receive donations of clean, stylish dresses, suits, shoes, and any other items such as jewelry and purses up until Wednesday. This will give helpers a chance to steam the dresses. King has received help from the women in her churchs Bible study, as well as from other women in the
Fayette Ministerial Association To Host Community Seder Meal
church. All money donations from the prom event will go to the Dow Family Childrens Home of Litein, Kenya. This is a home run by a husband and wife team from Pennsylvania who sold their belongings to open a childrens home in Kenya. They take in abused, abandoned, and orphaned children where they live in dorms, and have their own school. Presently, they have 58 children. Loris son stayed at the childrens home for over a week during a mission trip to Africa, and this mission is close to his heart. Money donations for this cause can be donated now through the end of the event. Lori King can be contacted at 419-4451285. All young women from the area are welcome to attend this prom event open house and fundraiser. There are dresses of all sizes available to those who need one for prom. King hopes to make this an annual event. Not only can they participate in a worthwhile cause and get to shine at their prom, but they will be able to donate to a wonderful charity.

Douglas Carmel of Rock of Israel Ministries will be the guest speaker for the Community Seder Meal Celebration at the Family Life Center, 306 E. Main St., (across from United Methodist Church) in Fayette, Ohio, Wed. Apr. 2nd at 7:00 p.m. This will be a fun and exciting time to learn about and participate in the Christ of the Passover. Everyone is invited but please RSVP by March 23rd by calling 419-237-8000. Carmel was raised in a traditional Jewish home in New York and accepted Jesus as Messiah in 1986 at the age of
21. Since his family was very upset over publisher@thevillagereporter.com. this, the family Rabbi and other Jewish men tried to persuade him to renounce his newfound faith. When this failed, his family rejected him and asked him to move out of their home. Today, Carmel shares in congregations mostly around the mid-west. He teaches from the Old Testament showing how the Jewish Feasts and Mosaic Tabernacle point to Jesus. Rock of Israel Ministries (www.rockofisrael.org) can be reached at 1-800-722-7625 for more information.
