The Pioneer Village Council heard from Ryan Burt and other members of the North Central Levy Committee during the Monday, May 14, 2014, meeting. Burt was on hand with Superintendent Ken Boyer, Principal Tim Rettig, and school board president Craig McKarns also in attendance. They presented a Power Point detailing a drawing of the proposed new high school building, the cost of the project, including a breakdown of costs that would be funded by the state, and how much would be the responsibility of the district. The old building was built in 19221923 and though it was a solid facility in 1923, the district is in need of a new building. Not only would a new high school be far more energy efficient but it would be on one level and handicap accessible. The committee expects a savings of about $15,000 per year in just energy costs. The total cost of the new building is $9,423,830. Of that, the state will fund $4,303,435, with the district picking up an equal amount. In addition, a locally funded initiative would fund additional classroom space at a cost of $816,960, for a total cost to the district of $5,129,395. The 1.4 mill Bond levy will provide $2,300,00, and the Permanent Improvement loan fund will provide another $2,000,000. In addition, the district already has $320,395 in their current Permanent Improvement savings and a local donor has added $500,000. Members of the committee noted that the district is presently paying on a building fund that was used toward the elementary/junior high, but that this is set to expire at the end of 2014. The new levy would begin in 2015, so even though this is a new tax, it will almost act as a renewal. Superintendent Ken Boyer wanted to address concerns that there would be even more money needed for the school once it is built. He said, We are not projecting new funds after this. We have a good five-year projection, and they plan to remain financially sound. He also said that the state does not usually allow districts to keep their other buildings but the school will be able to keep the present cafeteria and the gym, although the old cafeteria will eventually be used for other purposes. The new high school will be connected to the junior high. Its entrance will be from the south parking lot. Mayor Ed Kidston said that a new high school is very much needed and enthusiastically threw his support behind the proposed levy. Council then passed Resolution 03-2014, a resolution supporting the levy and encouraging voters to vote yes for the levy on May 6. Only council member Rod Eckley abstained from the vote due to personal reasons of wanting to keep his vote on local issues private. Kidston said that he understood Eckleys position, but he believes that the construction of a new high school will greatly benefit the Village of Pioneer, its residents, and residents of the district. In his report, Chief of Police Tim Livengood said that they were looking into the possibility of installing a pedestrian crosswalk from the Thompson-Geesey Funeral Home on First Street to the parking lot across the street. The have found that traffic is fast along the road and they want people to be safe. There are many people walking across the street during times of visitation and during funerals and they want to increase safety. This was tabled until the next meeting. Livengood said that members of the department were selected to a Domestic Violence seminar, of which only 40 from the state had been chosen. Livengood noted that departments in Pioneer and the area are ahead of others in the state in their training and are involved in the Domestic Violence Task Force. Fire Chief Denny Fackler reported that, since the last council meeting, his department answered 17 calls and had two controlled burns. Members of his Truck Committee recently went to Columbus to a Fire Truck show and they got a lot of good ideas for any future fire trucks that the village may eventually need. In other business, council approved a request from the Pioneer Area Summer Recreation Association for $5000 for expenses. They voted to approve Resolution 02-2014, a resolution urging voters to support State Issue 1, a renewal of the State Capital Improvements Program, on the May 6, 2014, ballot. Mayor Kidston said that the Village of Pioneer has benefitted greatly from the program which has brought hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions... This is a program that works. These are actual funds that come back to us for such projects as the water tower, water and sewer projects, re-pavements, and many other works on the infrastructure of the town. He added that this is a very positive program for the village. Clerk-Treasurer April McMillen said that she had heard from the states audit committee and they had told her that an exit interview following their audit earlier this year would not be necessary, as the books were so well kept. Kidston congratulated her for a job well done. Council went into an executive session to discuss property acquisitions and, upon their return to regular session, passed Resolution 04-2014, resolution for the acquisition of the right-of-way for the creation, maintenance, and improvement of public streets within the Village of Pioneer. This is in regard to the Toledo-Western Parkway, a road on the north end of Lake Pioneer which is presently privately owned. It connects two parts of town, and once acquired will be maintained and serviced by the village. The owner will be compensated. The meeting was adjourned. The next meeting is planned for Monday, May 12, 2014 at 7:00 p.m. Meetings are generally held on the second Monday of each month, but are sometimes rescheduled.

We are so excited to announce that weve started a school! New Horizons Academy at Saras Garden offers a holistic, all-encompassing educational path for children who have special learning needs and are preschool through grade twelve. Our mission is to provide the highest quality of educational programming available and empower children with disabilities to recognize and optimize their full potential. New Horizons does not solely focus on any one area of development; rather, each developmental domain (social, emotional, communicative, physical, and cognitive) is developed simultaneously throughout the school day. Great importance is placed on setting high goals and expectations and providing students with the appropriate assistance required for them to achieve their individual goals. Providing an academic curriculum that is challenging is of utmost importance, while simultaneously discovering and exploring the ways our students are best able to access that curriculum. New Horizons Academy enrolls children age 3 and up with problems that interfere with satisfactory functioning and progress in regular classroom programs or at home. This may include but is not limited to: Autism, Attention Deficit Disorders, Intellectual Disabilities, Developmental Delays, Physical Disabilities, Seizure Disorders and Speech & Language Disorders.

Holiday City Council Discusses North Central Elementary Students Many Happenings At April Meeting Awarded For Achievements
By: Kay Raypholtz THE VILLAGE REPORTER Council member Denny Hutchison returned to the area for his first council meeting of the year and was sworn in, but the absence of Kristie and Ron Keil, Jr. meant that there were not enough council members present to vote on any ordinances or resolutions. Council members were, however, able to approve the minutes from the March 20, 2014, meeting and pay the bills for that month. Council heard Ordinance 20142 in its first reading. This ordinance concerns an extension of an electrical line from the edge of the village out another 970 feet. This is being planned so that area resident Lee Dick can build a home beyond village limits. The village would pay for the first 200 foot and a transformer, with the remainder paid by the homeowner. The utility committee had met and discussed a cost of the project, and which costs would be paid by the village, and which costs would be the homeowners responsibility. They also developed a formula for any additional customers who would want to connect to the line, so that the homeowner could be reimbursed by whoever connects to the portion of the line that he would be funding. This would be within a time frame of the first 20 years after completion. The homeowner would like an underground line to be installed from across the road to the home he plans to build, and this would also be at a cost to the homeowner, who plans to hire his own borers for the project. The council members also heard the first reading of Resolution R-20145, a resolution supporting State Issue 1, urging Ohio voters to vote in favor of the renewal of the states capital Improvements program. This program funds infrastructure grants which have benefitted Holiday City and many other municipalities in the area with road repairs, water and sewer projects and many others that improve the infrastructure of a town. The renewal would not increase any taxes. Although the resolution will not be able to be passed before the election, council and the village of Holiday City wanted to show their support. Clerk-Treasurer Lauri TenEyck-Rupp reported that during the month of March, deposits totaled $772,653.82; expenses came to $701,475.68; leaving a balance of $2,395,401.12. The total investment balance came to $172,833.12. In his Mayors report, Shawn Clark noted that tiling work was being done right across the street from the Visitors Center, and that since they were already in the vicinity, the village could have them come across to do needed tiling work at a cost of $6073.86. Council approved the work. In old business, Administrator Gary Baker said that the old siren was again not working and they are trying to find out why. He believes that the harsh winter had something to do with the new issues with the siren. The new siren near Menards is working well. They are requesting that Gateway Tank come and make repairs to the water tower now that the weather has improved. Also, Baker reported that Dave Custar had been hired to mow the lawn this season. Council went into executive session to discuss pending litigation but no action was taken and the meeting was adjourned. The next session of the Holiday City council will be held on the third Thursday in May at 7:00 p.m.

ATV Safety Certification Classes Coming To Fulton County

All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) have many uses and promise new adventures to young and old alike. But ATVs are not toys and riding one can be a potentially hazardous activity, especially for young people. The goal of the 4-H Community ATV Safety Program is to increase the practice of safe behaviors and attitudes among the youth who operate ATVs. Additional emphasis must be placed on helping adults make informed decisions about whether or not young people in their care should operate an ATV. Safe ATV riding depends on the riders ability to recognize hazardous riding conditions. It is possible to determine how safe a ride will be by first evaluating the riders personal abilities, the ATV capabilities and then the terrain and environmental conditions. The Fulton County 4-H Youth Development Program wishes to address the educational and training needs of ATV riders, with emphasis on those under age 18 by offering a Safety Awareness Course. The course will be held at the Fulton County Fairgrounds Infield. Instructor for the course will be Certified Instructor Curtis Newcomer of Bryan. The ATV training will be Saturday, May 10, 2014 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Fulton County Fairgrounds in-field. Youth attending the course should come prepared with long sleeves or coat, long pants, over the ankle boots (no tennis shoes or steel toed), gloves, helmet and goggles. Youth must bring their own size appropriate ATV. If interested in attending, please call the OSU Extension office at 419.337.9210. The cost is $15.00 and a sack lunch. PreRegistration is required. Rain or shine.

SPECIAL GUEST ... The Stryker Rotary Club learned first-hand about efforts to fight world hunger many years ago. In 1947, at the age of 17, Jim Miller, a resident of Bryan, traveled from the United States to Poland on a boat used to transport cattle. On this trip the boat was used to transport Draft Horses to war torn areas of Poland following World War II. The American Draft Horses would be used by farmers in Poland. Jim was working through a program sponsored by The Church of the Brethren. This program is still in existence today and is known as Heifer International. Their mission continues to be ending world hunger and poverty, and caring for the earth. Pictured are guest speaker Jim Miller (Right) and Stryker Rotarian Ken Culler.

In this much loved show created from the TV movie of 2006, Troy (Cole Clark), his best buddies and teammates Chad (Alex Proper) and Zeke J.S. (Brady Cogswell) along with new found love Gabriella (Shea Livensparger), and her new friend Taylor (Nicky Myers) learn how to deal with the many ups and downs of teen life. One major issue throughout the story surrounds the antics of drama diva Sharpay (Abbey Litzenberg) and her twin brother Ryan (Branden Turner). The story begins the first day after winter break when students have returned to find their cliques, recount their vacations, and look forward to the new year and an upcoming championship basketball game. East High School is the home of Wildcat basketball, led by Troys father, Coach Bolton (Hunter Forry). Basketball team captain and resident jock, Troy, discovers that the brainy Gabriella, whom he met singing karaoke on his vacation ski trip, has just enrolled at East High.

Letter To The Editor

Dear Editor, I am writing to support North Central Local (Williams) School Districts bond issue on the May 6 ballot because passage will cost a $100,000 home owner LESS than they paid in taxes last year, yet it will bring in the funds needed to build a new high school. The current high school was built back in 1923 and is in need of significant upgrades. A new high school would provide larger, quieter classroom spaces, modern science labs, state-of-the-art technology facilities, modern acoustic facilities for band and choir rooms, energy efficient climate control, a more secure and safe learning environment, and an advanced performing arts center. The new facility would also allow teachers and staff to improve their innovative education techniques and continue to make the district a leader in education in Northwest Ohio. To build the new school, the state will pay 50% of the total cost and North Central will match that money. The total cost is estimated at $9.4 million, minus $500,000 coming from a local donor and $320,000 currently in the districts permanent improvement fund. If this $1.4 million bond is passed, North Central does not plan to ask for any new money for more than a decade. The district will simply ask for this levy to be renewed in 2018, when the 10-year $6.7 million emergency-operating levy expires. The districts 5 year forecast has them in the black for each of the next 5 years. Furthermore, a new high school will save money compared to the existing high school, which is the most expensive district building to operate per square foot. The new high school will include state-of-the-art systems that are much more energy efficient. This, along with the upgrades made to the elementary and junior high, will lower the overall cost to operate district facilities. North Central Local has a history of strong student achievement. Since learning can be hindered by facilities that are in disrepair and since the construction of a high school would actually lower residential tax bills, I urge residents of North Central Local School District to support high-quality schools and vote yes on the levy on May 6th.

ROTARY GUESTS ... Megan Soukup and Jennifer Napier spoke to the Stryker Rotary Club about the services provided by the Maumee Valley Guidance Center. Megan and Jennifer are assigned to the Defiance and Williams county area. Their services are all provided on an outpatient basis and include primary care. Clients range from children to the elderly, providing treatment for both mental and physical problems. A newer program offer by the center is called Healthy Ideas. The focus of the program is to identify and treat depression in older adults. The program includes screening, an education portion, along with treatment. They also refer clients for more specialized treatment when required. Depression is common among older adults and seems to increase during the winter months and around holiday seasons. Keeping the person active is one of many treatments to alleviate the symptoms of depression. They said we identify hobbies or activities that the client enjoys and work with them to participate in those activities. Many older adults exhibit signs of depression but do not recognize they are suffering with the condition.
Local Issues Make Way On To Williams & Fulton Counties May 6 Ballots
By: Chelsie Firestone THE VILLAGE REPORTER With the May 6 Primary Election quickly approaching, voters in both Williams and Fulton Counties will find that several local issues are also appearing on their ballots during this election. Voters in both counties will be asked to decide on Issue 1, a proposed constitutional amendment to fund public infrastructure capital improvement by permitting the issuance of general obligations bonds. This issue involves a renewal of a program first authorized in 1987 and then reauthorized in 1995 and 2005. Passing of Issue 1 would authorize the state to issue up to $1.875 billion in bonds over the next year to generate funds for public works. Advocates of Issue 1 claim that renewal of this program is vital in assisting counties, cities, and villages with the repair, upkeep, and modernization of their infrastructures. Those opposing passage of Issue 1 claim that passage will increase Ohios debt by $25 million over the first 5 years and $50 million over the second 5 years. Additionally, voters in the MillcreekWest Unity Local School District will be asked to decide on Issue 2, a proposed additional tax levy for the purpose of school safety and security at a rate not exceeding 0.9 mill for each one dollar of valuation, which amounts to $0.09 for each one hundred dollars of valuation, for 5 years, commencing in 2014, and first due in calendar year 2015. Voters in the North Central Local School District will be asked to consider and decide on Issue 3, a proposed bond issue for the district. Passage will allow bonds to be issued by the North Central Local School District for the purpose of paying a portion of the local share of school construction under the State of Ohio Classroom Facilities Assistance program for a segmented project, including construction of a new high school building, together with equipment, furnishings, landscaping and all necessary appurtenances in the principal amount of $2,225,000, to be repaid annually over a maximum period of 37 years, and an annual levy of property taxes be made outside the ten-mill limitation, estimated by the county auditor to average over the repayment period of the bond issue 1.4 mills for each one dollar of tax valuation, which amounts to fourteen cents for each one hundred dollars of tax valuation, commencing in 2014 and first due in the calendar year 2015, to pay for the annual debt charges of the bonds, and to pay debt charges on any notes issued in anticipation of those bonds. Voters in Fulton County will be asked to vote on a renewal of 1.1 mills and increase of 0.5 mill to constitute a tax for the purpose of providing and maintaining senior citizens services and facilities at a rate not exceeding 1.6 mills for each one dollar of valuation, which amounts to $0.16 for each one hundred dollars of valuation, for 5 tears, commencing in 2014, and first due in calendar year 2015. Additionally, voters in Gorham Township will be asked to decide on the renewal of a tax for the purpose of maintaining and operating Pleasant View Union Cemetery at a rate not exceeding 0.4 mill for each one dollar of valuation, which amounts to $0.04 for each one hundred dollars of valuation, for 5 years, commencing in 2014, and first due in calendar year 2015.

Williams County Mock Crash: A Life Lesson Learned Through Tragedy

By: Timothy Kays THE VILLAGE REPORTER As a former deputy sheriff, I have seen it and heard it before... and I so wish that I could forget it. The call goes out over the radio from central dispatch directing emergency response units to a specific location and using two words that call for immediate attention and all due speed in response... code four. Code two is the call made for an automobile accident with property damage. Code four is the upgrade over a code two... there are injuries. Lives may be in the balance. This changes everything. This calls for lights and sirens and running hot. This isnt a fenderbender... Someone is in dire need of help. Available law enforcement units from the state, county and sometimes municipal levels are scrambling to respond, balancing high speed with safety. Medical first responders, EMS squads, and paramedics are dispatched and quickly en route with the same sense of urgency, as are nearby fire department heavy rescue units. Sometimes though, no speed is sufficient enough to stave off the worst case scenario. A life has been lost to injuries sustained in the accident. The call is made from the scene to central dispatch stating the equipment and personnel needed and adding one other detail... This code four is now a code four-A; someone has died. Units specializing in emergency extraction, life support, and scene control are now working together as a well-trained small army, determined to hold the fatality rate at a minimum. The coroner is called to handle the fatality, and a hearse arrives to remove the body. Sometimes, a call is made to the family by a friend or passerby who knows the deceased. Other times, it frequently falls upon the shoulders of the county sheriff to meet up with the departmental chaplain. Together, they drive to the home of the next of kin. Together, they are that dreaded knock on the door in the middle of the night, informing the family that one of their own will not be coming home. Not tonight. Never again will they walk through that door. Their life, in a split second, came to a sudden, violent and bloody end. Having seen this, I know full well the heart-wrenching, family shattering gravity that goes along with it. I had a perspective that made me appreciate the undisputable truth that a motor vehicle can, in the twinkling of an eye, become a lethal weapon. Others, particularly newly licensed and inexperienced drivers, have little to no grasp of how little is required to turn a nice drive into a nightmare. For that purpose, the Safe Communities Coalition of the Williams County Health Department, in concert with local law enforcement, fire and emergency medical service personnel, staged the 2014 Williams County Mock Crash at the Fairgrounds on the morning of April 16. Juniors and seniors from each school system in Williams County took seats in the grandstands to witness the spectacle on the track below. Prior to their arrival, fourteen of their peers from schools around the county took their places as actors in this drama of a two-vehicle accident at the intersection of County Road K and State Route 15. Once made up (garishly so) and in place in the wrecked vehicles, the entire scene was covered with tarps... curtains to be drawn back from the stage once the enactment began. The emcee for the event was once again J. B. Orendorff, whose experience with accidents spans both media coverage and emergency services. He brought the hard line to the numbers, aiming the data straight into the occupants of the grandstand. Distracted driving is the number one killer of American teens, he said. While alcohol-related accidents among teens have dropped, teenage traffic fatalities have remain unchanged, because distracted driving is on the rise. Over 90 percent of teens say that they dont drink and drive, but nine out of ten say that theyve seen passengers distracting the driver, or drivers using or texting on cell phones. Orendorff continued, Brain power used while driving decreases by 40 percent when a driver listens to conversation or music. How does this equate into something more understandable? Orendorff explained, Drivers talking, or texting, or talking on mobile phones are more impaired than drivers with a .08 blood alcohol content. Legally, under the influence in Ohio...is .08. Its the same effect. Locally, the numbers scream for attention. In Williams County, traffic accidents are the leading cause of injury deaths, year in and year out. In Williams County, drivers in the 16-20 age group are more than twice as likely to be involved in a crash than any other age group. It was that age group that made up the audience in the grandstand as the sound of crying tires, shattering glass and grinding metal of a t-bone accident blasted through the speakers. Law enforcement personnel then pulled back the tarp to reveal a grizzly scene. The driver of vehicle #1, going eastbound on County Road K and portrayed by Alyssa Eckley of Edgerton, was both drunk and distracted. She blew through the stop sign at the intersection with State Route 15 and broad sided northbound vehicle #2, whose driver was portrayed by Jessica Lyon of Bryan. Each vehicle was carrying four additional passengers. Riding in the front passenger seat of vehicle #1 was a victim who was not wearing a safety belt, portrayed by Jessy Duchene of Montpelier. The inertia of the impact, unhindered by a wearing of a safety belt, forced her forward violently. Two-tenths of a second after impact, Jessys character is headed face-first for the windshield at 55 miles per hour. The impact has changed the physical dynamics of everyone in the car. As they fly forward at 55 miles per hour, they are now drawing a G-force of 20... Their bodies each weigh 3,200 pounds. That is the picture at 55 miles per hour. At 60, the force of impact is the same as driving the car off of a nine story building. Jessys character continued to move forward and upward at 55 miles per hour. Her face and head impacted with the windshield, breaking it out. She was partially ejected from the vehicle, and came to rest on the hood. She suffered severe brain injuries from the impact with the windshield, and in the ejection process she suffered tears to both lungs. After impacting the dashboard and door post, her liver ruptured, causing a massive internal hemorrhage. She needed extensive trauma care within five minutes, just for a chance at survival. Unfortunately, the first responders on the scene are not equipped to handle such a massive trauma as this person presented. By the time that the first squad arrived, the character portrayed by Jessy Duchene had breathed her last. In less than half a second, she went from having fun to being fatally injured, draped over the hood of a car and awash in a sea of broken glass and her own blood. A bad decision and less than one second. That was all it took for ten teenage lives to be altered forever. A bad decision and less than one second later, a father and a mother will have their daughter ripped away, forever altering the family. A bad decision and less than one second later, the character played by Alyssa Eckley will become a felon, eventually taken away in handcuffs by a trooper from Post 20 of the Ohio Highway Patrol. She will be facing charges of operating a vehicle while impaired, driving while distracted if she was, and if she was texting, a count of vehicular manslaughter. She will forever be known as the one whose reckless driving cost the life of the Duchene character. Meanwhile in the back seat of the same car, a character portrayed by Holli Coressel of Stryker is critically injured. Not wearing a seat belt, she was slammed violently into the door post where she sustains a lacerated spleen and lacerated lungs. She is transported to CHWC Bryan in critical condition. On the opposite side of the back seat was the character portrayed by Jacob Brown of Edon. His motion was minimal, as he was wearing his seat belt. He is transported to CHWC with minor visible injuries. Between Coressel and Brown was the character portrayed by Miklo Abner of Hilltop. Not wearing a seat belt, he is thrown forward between the Eckley and the partially ejected Duchene characters. Although he is not pinned in the wreckage, he is wedged head-down between the seats PHOTOS BY TIMOTHY KAYS, STAFF after impacting the seats and the center console. He is conscious and in severe pain from a collapsed left lung, THE VOICE OF PAINFUL EXPERIENCE ... Ms. Makalie a fractured rib and a ruptured spleen. He too is sent to Blue of Deshler, needing further surgery after an accident five years ago, tearfully recounted the event. CHWC on the critical list. Meanwhile in vehicle #2, the Lyon character is extricated by Montpelier firefighters using the JAWS unit. Her extensive injuries required more intensive treatment than what was locally available, therefore she was airlifted by Life Flight. The front seat passenger, portrayed by Rachel Oxender of North Central, was belted in and thanks to an airbag, sustained facial injuries. She was transported to CHWC. In the back seat behind the driver was the character portrayed by Sarah Fritsch of Edgerton. Taking an almost direct hit, she needed to be extracted by JAWS. Suffering multiple broken bones on the left side, her life was saved by her seat belt. She is also airlifted in critical condition. Also in the back seat were characters portrayed by Samantha Mercer of Edon and Bailey Short of Stryker, both were wearing safety belts, and both were transported to CHWC with cuts and possible fractures. A FAMILIAR SCENARIO ... Williams County DARE Officer, Ten teenagers...their lives turned upside down, riveted Deputy Paul McCord, told a story of a friend who was also the attention of the audience in the grandstand. After the involved in a fatal distracted driving accident. dramatization, Kim Nossaman, the Chief Probation Officer for the Bryan Municipal Probation Department, came forward to talk about the legal proceedings that would surely follow for Ms. Eckleys character. She was followed to the podium by Williams County DARE Officer, Deputy Paul McCord, who related his own story of how a friend, in a moment of distraction, caused an accident that killed a mother of three young children. The final speaker did not speak in terms of hypotheticals; hers was a real-life experience of how a moment of distraction derailed her life. This speaker was Ms. Makalie Blue of Deshler. Ms. Blue survived a car crash on Dec. 19, 2009 that occurred when she texted her boyfriend. When she looked down, she failed to notice a patch of black ice that caused her to lose control of the car. Her brother, who was following her, watched in horror as the accident took place before his eyes, and it was he that called 9-1-1. Tearfully, Ms. Blue related the event and the post-ac- THE LEGALITIES ... Kim Nossaman, the Chief Probation cident trauma that was to follow, including the loss of her Officer for the Bryan Municipal Probation Department, boyfriend. Hes married now. And you know what... he explains what is next for the cited driver. never even came to visit me in the hospital, she said. I was on my way home with my brother following behind me. My parents and grandparents live within one mile of each other, and in that mile, my life changed. Blue came away from the accident with multiple broken bones, including a crushed left pelvis that has been held intact with plates and screws. Fighting back tears, she told the audience that she was just informed by her orthopedic surgeon that the plate holding her pelvis together is failing, meaning that once again she will have to go under the knife as a result of the same thing that the entire enactment was portraying... one bad decision and less than one second of elapsed time. She survived, but the emotional and physical pain and scars of the accident and the resulting fallout she will have to carry for the rest of her life. The message of the day was thereby driven home to the high school kids in the grandstands with force. Drinking and driving still kills. Even if no alcohol is involved though, distracted driving is just as dangerous... and just as potentially lethal. In less than one tick of the clock, happiness can become heartbreak. The process of reading a text normally takes about five seconds. In a car traveling at 55 miles per hour, that equates to driving the length of THE CHIEF LOOKS ON ... Montpelier Chief of Police, Dan a football field... blind. Do not allow this to happen to you. Do not become a McGee watches as the scene unfolds. sad and sorry memory to friends that count upon you for support, just by your being present at their side. You have so much to offer the world... Dont let one bad decision and less than a tick of the clock destroy your future. DONT TEXT AND DRIVE! Timothy Kays can be reached at tim@thevillagereporter.com

EXTRACTION ... Members of the Montpelier Fire Department use the JAWS unit to gain entry to a badly damaged vehicle.

Wauseon Board Of Education Approves Open Enrollment Policy; Hears Reports On PARCC Field Tests
By: Chelsie Firestone THE VILLAGE REPORTER Members of the Wauseon Board of Education convened for their regular meeting at 5:30 pm on Monday, April 14. During the meeting the board approved financial items as well as several personnel items (see related article on page 19), and came to a decision regarding the open enrollment policy of the district. Approving additional language to the current Open Enrollment Policy #5113 under Application Process, Letter F, the policy now reads Applications received beyond the deadline of June 1st and prior to the first day of the school year will be considered on a case by case basis. Applications received on or after the first day of the school year will be considered for enrollment to the Wauseon Virtual Academy only. Financial items gaining approval included all bills, financial reports, and investments as presented as well as modifications and supplemental modifications to the FY14 Permanent Appropriations and the FY14 Certificate of Resources. A Then and Now Certificate was also approved for a payment of $2375 to be made to NBEC/NWOCA for the FY14 Power School Alert, the method by which parents and students receive messages involving school delays and cancellations as well as other important information. The Board also accepted with gratitude donations from Andre Land Forming ($1380 in supplies/ services to field dress and fertilize), Black Swamp Arts Council ($25 to the WHS Art Department for the art show), Christ United Methodist Church ($200 to WES), and Gary and Sandy Hovis (Reynolds Trumpet, no value listed, to the WHS band). The Board also heard reports from each of the school principals. The PARCC (Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers) field testing was a common subject touched on by all four principals. With the PARCC assessment ready to be implemented in the 2014-15 school year, Wauseon Exempted Village Schools have signed on as a field testing location. As a field testing location, Wauseon students have been taking the test in order to provide information on the test to the state. Students, however, will not receive their individual scores on this years assessment. In regards to making the decision on whether or not to participate in the field testing for the PARCC assessment in a year that has been full of cancellations due to weather, WES Principal Theresa Vietmeier explained that the decision was finally reached to participate as the field testing also allows the school district to learn more about the assessment and work towards a smoother implementation when the test begins being implemented statewide during the 2014-15 school year. This may be especially useful as the PARCC assessment has both paper and pencil and computer based assessment components. WMS Principal Joe Friess also shared that 23 students have been chosen for the NJHHS (National Junior High Honor Society). A total of 1097th and 8th grade students qualified with a 3.5 or higher cumulative GPA. However, only 41 applicants replied to the invitation, which may have been due to the original informal meeting on the NJHHS having to be cancelled due to inclement weather. Principals also shared many up and coming event dates. The Academic Hall of Fame Induction will be held on April 25. Nine individuals will be inducted into the Hall of Fame during the ceremony. Other dates to mark down include: April 28 National Honor Society Induction Ceremony May 1 FFA State Convention May 3 Prom May 6 Freedom Shrine Assembly May 8 Spring Arts Festival May 12 Local Scholarship/Senior Awards Program May 12 Right to Read Week The next meeting of the Wauseon Board of Education will be a noon meeting held on April 24. The next regular meeting will be held on Monday, May 19 at 5:30 pm at the Wauseon Board of Education. Chelsie Firestone may be reached at chelsie@thevillagereporter.com

Junior Achievement Program Teaches Wauseon Academic Hall Of Fame Induction Announced Business Basics To Wauseon Students
By: Tammy Allison
Its never too early for children to begin understanding the reallife concepts of business and economy. Jeremy Wenzel, a Wauseon businessman, agrees and has spearheaded the introduction of the Junior Achievement program to the Wauseon Schools. The Junior Achievement non-profit program is a volunteerdelivered program with grade-specific curriculum for kindergarten through grade 12. The premise of the program is to provide students with skills and knowledge about the financial, business, and economic world. According to the Junior Achievement official website, the organization impacted over 4.4 million U.S. students in more than 190,000 classrooms during the 2012-2013 school year. Wenzel first approached Troy Armstrong,
principal of the Wauseon Primary School, grades kindergarten through second, last school year. Wenzel states that both his children attend Wauseon School, and as a businessman and former Junior Achievement alumni, he felt that Wauseon students would benefit from the program. It corresponds to what I do in my job and prepares kids for the future. I knew Wauseon did not have a Junior Achievement program, so I researched what it would take to start one, and it was implemented this year, Wenzel shared. With the support of Armstrong who agreed with the value of the Junior Achievement program, the curriculum was implemented in the Wauseon Schools beginning with grades kindergarten through second grade this school year. The curriculum is designed to be taught as five lessons. Wenzel
himself has been using the curriculum to teach second graders and says the lessons have taken approximately 45 minutes to teach. The response from both teachers and students has been very positive, he relates. Presently, the Junior Achievement (JA) program of Wauseon is seeking more volunteers. Anyone from the community is able to volunteer. Training is required but can be conducted via a phone training of between 3040 minutes. Four more classes, all kindergarten, are in need of volunteers to teach the JA curriculum which consists primarily of reading to the children. All five lessons can be completed in approximately two-three hours. For more information about the Junior Achievement program in general, you can visit the organizational website at www.juniorachievement. org or you can visit the Facebook page Junior Achievement of Wauseon. To volunteer, you may contact Jeremy Wenzel at 419-708-8625 or jeremywenzel@gmail.com. Volunteers are also being sought for the upcoming school year. The plan is to expand the JA program into the elementary classes and to continue growing the program each consecutive school year.

Empty Out Your Medicine Cabinet On National Prescription Drug Take Back Day
If youre guilty of hoarding that old medicine, thinking you may need it for some other ailment later on, think again. Medications do expire, and they are prescribed for specific problems, not as general drugs to cure whatever ails you. The National Prescription Drug Take Back Day on Saturday, April 26 is an opportunity to get rid of unused or expired prescription medications. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration. For the safety of our Fulton County youth and families, the Archbold, Delta and Wauseon Police Departments in cooperation with the Drug Enforcement Administration, area pharmacies and volunteers from Healthy Choices Caring Communities are giving our community an opportunity to dispose of unwanted medications. On Saturday, April 26 from 10 am until 2 pm, locations in Archbold, Delta and Wauseon will accept tablets, capsules and all other solid dosage forms of unneeded or expired medication. Intravenous solutions, injectibles and syringes will NOT be accepted at any of these sites. Participating sites include: Archbold: Archbold Police Department 405 E Lutz Road Delta: Memorial Hall 401 Main Street Wauseon: Rite Aid Pharmacy 1496 N Shoop Avenue Walmart 485 E Airport Highway According to Wauseon Police Chief Torbet, It is important for the safety of our community to get these unused or expired prescriptions out of family medicine cabinets. This will help us keep these prescription drugs off our streets and prevent them from being misused or abused. Unused or expired prescription medications are a public safety issue, potentially leading to accidental poisoning, overdose, and abuse. The abuse of prescription drugs is now the second leading cause of accidental death and has other unintended consequences, such as increased prevalence of prescription medication abuse and diversion throughout the United States. According to the Office of National Drug Control Policy, abuse of prescription drugs to get high has become increasingly prevalent among teens and young adults. Past abuse of prescription pain killers now ranks secondonly behind marijuanaas the Nations most prevalent illegal drug problem. The National Drug Take Back Day is an opportunity to clean out your medication cabinet before someone is harmed. So take this opportunity to clean out your medicine cabinets and drop off your unwanted or unused prescriptions for safe disposal. Healthy Choices Caring Communities, an initiative of the Fulton County Family & Children First Council, is a group of community members working together to prevent and reduce youth use of alcohol and other drugs in Fulton County. To become a member of the HC3, or for more information, contact Beth Thomas, Project Director, at 419337-0915.

You dont have to go far in considering lessons from iconic figures of human history to know that many of them have one thing in common, they all faced significant adversity. For example, in his One Minute Uplift newsletter, Rick Ezell writes, The pages of history are lined with individuals encountering negative setbacks only to make something positive out of them. They are better for it. In many cases, so are we. Thomas Edison, as a boy, received a blow on his ear which impaired his hearing. What a tragedy!

Montpelier Schools Compete In Robotic Competition

By: Jennifer Manlove
Matt Kaullen is Montpelier High Schools AP & CP Chemistry, Physics, Earth Sciences, and Robotics Instructor and his students competed over the weekend of April 10th, 11th and 12th at the National Robotics Challenge in Marion, Ohio. They brought out their mini sumos, a couple of hockey bots, and the maze robots for a review with the CK Technologies engineers and employees prior to the challenge. This helped them to do a dry run and correct any issues before the competition. CK Technologies has been one of the sponsors and mentors of this class for the last few years, along with Greg Lee of CK Technology being very instrumental in the support the program. Every year before a competition, Matt and the student bring their robots out to play and review them with the employees and engineering group
at CK Technologies. This year, Christina Keller, President of CK Technologies was present and enjoyed the presentation. She congratulated Matt and the students in their hard work on the robots and wished them luck at the competition. The National Robotics Challenge had over 70 schools and 406 robots. Mr. Kaullen brought 11 students and 16 robots to the competition. The students advanced to the final 8 in every event they competed in and won the Gold in robot hockey (Austin Schudel & Garrett Frantom) and Tactile Maze (Tyler McDaniel). They won Silver in Robot Hockey (Tyler
McDaniel & Kobe Leung) and 125# RC Sumo (Tyler McDaniel & Kobe Leung). For more information on the
competition you can check out the webpage at: http://www.

The American Red Cross Invites You To Montpelier To Be A Part Of The Change This Spring
As the snow has melted and spring rains bring fresh flowers, green grass, and warmer weather, the American Red Cross encourages area residents to be a part of change, too. Spring is about rejuvenation and research studies show that the increase in temperature is a major mood booster. The need for blood remains constant, especially as the weather becomes warmer, said Tracy Fox, spokesperson for the American Red Cross Indiana-Ohio Blood Services Region. A single blood donation can save more than one life, so as the season changes, allow some change within yourself by getting into the habit of donating blood. While spring lasts for a few months, donating blood only takes a fraction of that time; the actual donation process only takes about 8 -12 minutes. A healthy donor can donate red blood cells every 56 days and platelets can be given every 7 days, but no more than 24 times in one year. According to Fox each weekday, the IndianaOhio Blood Services Region needs to have at least 500 blood and platelets donors to help meet the need of patients in the hospitals we serve. Strong donor turnout in April and May can give us good momentum into summer. And with only eight percent of eligible individuals donating blood each year, theres great potential for solid collections during spring. commented Fox. Approximately 38% of the U.S. population is eligible to donate blood. But only eight percent of those eligible or three percent of the general population donates blood each year. Every day, patients across the U.S. need an average of 44,000 units of red blood cells. Thats about 16-million donations transfused to 5 million patients each year. The next donation opportunity is on Thursday, May 15, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. at Montpelier High School in Rooms E-100 and E-104, located at 1015 E. Brown Road in Montpelier. Simply call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org to make an appointment for donation 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.
