Holiday City Council Holds Last Meeting of 2013

By Kay Raypholtz THE VILLAGE REPORTER The Holiday City Council began their meeting on December 19, 2013, by addressing two ordinances and a resolution. Ordinance 2013-4, an ordinance approving temporary 2014 appropriations was passed following its third reading. Ordinance 2013-5, an ordinance amending ordinances 2003-5, 2009-3, 2011-4, 2012-1 and 2012-11 regarding compensation of the officers and employees of Holiday City, was also approved following its third reading. This ordinance grants a three percent raise to the Clerk-Treasurer, and a two percent raise to the Administrator and Deputy Administrator effective January 1, 2014. Other compensation remains unchanged. Council members will earn $3,000 per year; the Mayor shall earn $6,000 per year; and the Clerk-Treasurer will be paid at the annual rate of $19,599.86 per year. The pay rate for the Village Administrator will be $26.49 per hour, and the Deputy Village Administrator will be paid $375.00 per month. Resolution R-2013-9 was passed, approving then and now purchase order 41-2013, issued on 12-11-2013 for the engineering services of the GPD Group for their sub-station planning. Clerk-Treasurer Lauri TenEyck Rupp gave the financial report for the end of November 2013. Deposits for the month totaled $545,386.57; expenses came to $573,436.47; leaving a balance of $2,307,998.59. Interest was $212.11, and total investments were $172,823.41. Council heard from their legal representative regarding whether or not the village could require that all electrical purchases by businesses and factories be purchased from only the Village of Holiday City. Rules set up in the Ohio Constitution allowed the municipality to be formed with these rules in place. This inquiry was in response to a question asked by one of the local factories about purchasing power from other sources. The village had been approached about selling their Blue Creek Wind Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). Other towns in the county had done so and made a profit. If the village would decide to hold on to the certificates, they cannot make money from them as they are not an energy producing company. The issue was tabled pending further information regarding the number of credits available for sale and at what price In his Mayors report, Shawn Clark said that he had helped out at the Santa visit on Saturday, December 7. He also read the Visitors Bureau report, which stated that the turn-out for the event was slightly less than last years event as some neighboring towns also had Santa visits that day. Approximately 120 children enjoyed meeting with Santa, and they came away with more than enough treats and trinkets. In other business, the Audit Committee met prior to the regular council meeting to approve the records and books for the year. The ditch cleaning has been completed except for the area that runs under State Route 15. Council member Ron Keil, Jr. will address this again in the spring. He reported that the water is flowing and moving through the ditches properly. Council members and the village officials wished all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year before adjourning the meeting. The next meeting of the Holiday City council will be on January 16, 2013, at 7:00 p.m. Kay Raypholtz may be reached at publisher@thevillagereporter.com

By: Chelsie Firestone Students from accepted and the club is especially in need of peanut butter, fruit juice, cereal, and toilet paper, all of which cannot be bought at the Toledo food bank due to expense. Monetary donations are also greatly appreciated as the club can often do more at the Toledo food bank with monetary donations than a private citizen can at a local grocery store. People wishing to volunteer their time are also greatly appreciated. Anyone in need can contact the See and Do Club to fill out a form to see if he or she meets the federal guidelines to receive assistance. These guidelines are the same as the guidelines for receiving free or reduced lunches at area schools. Anyone living outside of the 43506 zip code, which offers several food banks of its own, and who meets these guidelines is eligible to receive the assistance of the See and Do Club's food pantry. There are no requirements, however, to browse the See and Do Club's shop, where a variety of clothing and household items can be found at no cost. Normal operating hours of the See and Do Club are Wednesdays and Fridays from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm and the third Monday of every month from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Anyone with questions about qualifying for assistance or who would like to help can visit the See and Do Club, located on Depot Street in Montpelier, or call 419485-3777.

THE VILLAGE REPORTER ROTARY GUEST ... Lance Thorp (right) was the guest of Steve Lamberson at the Mont- Montpelier Junior High pelier Rotary speaking about the upcoming MHS Baseball season. Student Council were on Lance Thorp was the speaker at the regular meeting of the Montpelier Rotary on Monday. The guest of Steve Lamberson, Mr. Thorp spoke on the optimistic outlook he has for Montpelier Baseball. From Little League to high school, there is a new effort on the part of coaches and concerned citizens to establish more coordination in Montpelier Baseball to encourage the youth to feel as if they are all playing for the same team Montpelier! As MHS Baseball head coach, while he spoke positively about changes to the youth leagues, Mr. Thorp had the most to say about the high school teams. This years roster has good numbers. With only three seniors it makes for a young team but one that, he hopes, will be inspired to play hard. Mr. Thorp noted improvements to the Superior Athletic Complex which have been spear-headed by Montpeliers superintendent, Dr. Grime. The hope is that, with a new Press Box, Montpelier Baseball may get more media time and better recognition. Mr. Thorp also mentioned his encouragement in finding out that two of his players have gone on to play at the college level. Tyler Benner made catcher for the baseball team at Alderson Broaddus University in West Virginia and Spencer Durham made pitcher at Adrian College. Mr. Thorp looks forward to an exciting season of MHS Baseball.

is FREE. You may call 419-636-5449 and reserve a safe ride home before the party or you may call on New Years Eve. To reserve a Safe Ride Home, call 419-636-5449 and leave a message. Driving while impaired is a crime that seriously risks your safety and the safety of those around you. Whether you have had one too many or are way over the limit, drunk driving is not worth causing a traffic crash, serious injury, or worsedeath. The legal and financial costs of driving while impaired can be significant. Drunkdriving violators often face jail time, the loss of their driver licenses, higher insurance rates, and dozens of other unanticipated expenses ranging from attorney fees, court costs, car towing and repairs, and lost wages due to time off from work. According to Shannon Cooley, Administrator at Grace Community Church, last year 23 safe rides home were provided. The Safe Ride Home can help keep our roads safer this year too. Whether youve had one or one too many, always hand the keys to a sober driver or call 419-636-5449 for a Safe Ride Home.
Drunk driving is a killer on the roads all year round, but data shows that the tradition of celebrating the holidays with alcohol leads to an increase of traffic crashes and resulting deaths and injuries. Nationwide, the holiday season is a particularly deadly time due to drunk drivers on the roads. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 32,367 people were killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes in 2011, and 31 percent (9,878) of those fatalities occurred in drunk-drivingrelated crashes. Drinking and driving endangers not only the driver but also passengers and others driving on the road. To help keep the party off the road on New Years Eve, the annual Safe Ride Home program will be provided as a community service by Grace Community Church in combined effort with WBNO-WQCT Radio and Safe Communities, Williams County Health Department. On New Years Eve from 9:00 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. volunteers from Grace Community Church in Bryan will pick you up at any home, tavern, party, club, or organization in Williams County and provide you PHOTO BY CASEY CHURCH, STAFF a safe ride home to locations within WilWEDDING ANNIVERSARY ...

the mission of the Division of Wildlife, said Bob Ford, Soards supervisor. He has served as a resource to his peers as well as other agencies. His knowledge, experience and professionalism will be missed. I really enjoyed all the different opportunities I had while working for the Division of Wildlife, according to Soards. The variety of projects I have had the opportunity to be involved with and the diversity in the day to day operations really made my career a rewarding experience. Doug resides in Bryan, Ohio with his wife Kathy and daughter McKenna.

Honors Given At 4-H Advisor Banquet

Each year the Fulton County 4-H Program recognizes the volunteers/ advisors of the program for their contributions and years of service to 4-H. Special recognition is awarded for those individuals who exemplify the qualities and support of the program or have gone above and beyond. Wed like to share with you those honored this year. 2013 FRIENDS OF 4-H JEANNE JOHNSON AND THE FULTON COUNTY SADDLE CLUB Jeanne Johnson was honored as an Outstanding Friend of 4-H. She was the Fulton County Fair Secretary from 1992-2011. Through her work she managed the tremendous growth of the Sr. Fair and the Jr. Fair. Jeanne is kind and easy to work with. She helped me wade through the processes of setting up for the Jr. Fair Building for the 4-H clubs, to fair premiums, rosettes, building rentals, project judging, fair judges, clinics and other building uses for 4-H clinics and workshops. She was easy to work with to schedule events such as the horse qualifying shows and horse work sessions. Privately she and Curt are also friends of Camp Palmer. I appreciate all she has done as well as the time and resources their families have contributed both at camp and the Jr. Fair Livestock Sale. (Written by Jill Stechschulte) The Fulton County Saddle Club was founded in 1944 and has been promoting the equine industry and 4-H since its inception. Some of the Saddle Clubs most notable contributions are the Osthimer Family Memorial Horse Arena with a donation of $365,000 for the construction, the arena fencing panels, a contribution towards the construction of the Klostermier barn, the extension of the chain-link fence at the horse end of the fairgrounds and the outdoor pen announcers stand and fencing. The Saddle Club has donated toward the fair trophies for the Jr. Fair Livestock Programs, sponsored the high point horse awards for the Jr. Fair Horse program for the past several years and continue to hold the Open Speed show during the fair. Other past and present contributions to the community include purchasing a time system for Harry Hughes, several contributions to Honor Flight of NW Ohio and a donation to the Henry County Humane Society. Even though their membership has dwindled to just 12 members, they continue to support the local equine and 4-H programs and the community. The Saddle Club would like to take the opportunity to thank the local community for support of their horse shows. Without the help of these supporters they would anne Strauss.

Winning The Battle For A Generation

HAVE YOU SEEN WHOLENESS COME FROM BROKENNESS? Christmas time is often a season of great challenge and difficulty for many. If you find yourself facing some very hard times, it is my prayer that the following story will lift your up. A new program at Walter Reed Medical Center is trying to help wounded warriors recover from the incredible losses theyve experienced in war. Battlefield medicine has gotten better and better, but that also means that the people theyre saving are increasingly injured. So some of these injured soldiers are finding healing through a community based on music. For instance, recently a band of wounded soldiers performed at Madison Square Garden in a concert called Stand Up for Heroes. The vocalist for the band was Marine Cpl. Tim Donley who lost both of his legs and the use of his right arm in a roadside bomb in Afghanistan. Even though he cant walk, salute, or shake someones hand, hes grateful to be part of a group where his singing voice is valued. His signature song has become Leonard Cohens Hallelujah. The lyrics of the song are hauntingly honest: Its not a cry you can hear at night. Its not somebody who has seen the light. Its a cold and its a broken Hallelujah. Donley told a reporter, I thought I understood [that song], but the next thing you know, my whole life is coming down around my ears. Every dream, every hope Ive ever had for the future is broken around me, and I dont know where to turn, and it was at that place that God said, Do you still trust me? Do you still believe that I have whats best for you? And it was at that moment that I understood Hallelujah. I may be more whole now than Ive ever been in my life. In that place of belonging Donley and his friends are discovering wholeness in spite of their brokenness. The scriptures remind us of the words of Jesus that when were burdened, broken over the things of life Matthew 11:28-30 (NIV), 8 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

Devotional Thought / Fellowship of Christian Athletes

BY: REX STUMP - HOW IN THE WORLD...?
In Duluth, Minnesota a woman said she had no idea she was pregnant! She hadnt gained any weight or felt fetal movement in the months prior to giving birth. The day before being having her baby, she ran for about two hours in preparation for a half-marathon. She said, I had a sore back Sunday evening. I woke up the next morning and had more back pain. As the day went on it got worse, I thought I ruptured a disc or pulled a muscle. Her husband finally took her to the emergency room. They were stunned to learn that the medical staff had detected a fetal heartbeat. She was whisked to the delivery room and soon gave birth to a girl; they named Mira short for Miracle. That sounds impossible, right? In the Bible, we have another birth story that seemed impossible to believe! This story is about Mary, a virgin, who stood before an angelic being and was told that she was going to bring forth a child! Is it any wonder that Mary would humbly and emotionally ask, How can this be? She was deeply disturbed; as I think we would all be, after all how often do we have angels standing in front of us? Its recorded that she thought hard, she reasoned in her mind what is this all about? When we cant figure things out, as in this situation, we reason with science, with God, with ourselves, and with others. Heres a very basic principle that we all need to get. Ready for this? Quit trying to figure out how it can be done! Got it? We often believe that peace will come when we figure it all out! Thats not true. Even if we knew the answers, we would still be anxious and upset! Peace comes from God. (Philippians 4:6-7) By the reasoning and exercising of your mind, you are not going to figure out God or help him! The Bible is chuck full of moments that we will never figure out; the splitting of the Red Sea, a staff turns into a snake, living inside the belly of a fish for 3 days, walking on water, turning water to wine, feeding 5,000 people, the dead coming back to lifeand now God entering this world through a teenage girl! Dont even try to figure it out! Every single miracle of God is beyond us! Its all about trusting God in those moments and obeying Him. Im not saying reject intellect and reasoning, but Im saying bring it under the control of the Spirit and the Word of God. Its a matter of saying, Lord I trust you. I dont see it. I dont know how. But Im not going to mess around with this anymore, I bring this to you and I trust you. How can this happen? The Son of God, placed into the womb of a woman without any mankind help. How? The author, Luke, was also a doctor and he surely knew about childbirth. He was also a researcher gathering the facts, interviewing Mary and others. Luke records all this and records, how can this happen. He doesnt even try to explain it away. The only explanation given isGod. If God can create Adam from clay He is very capable of creating life within the womb of a woman. Gabriel says it bestFor nothing is impossible with God. Allow me to simply say, that when God speaks, it will happen! Period. Has God put something into your world that isnt making sense? Fear not! For no word of God is without power! Quit trying to figure it out, simply believe Read Luke 1.
Pastors Thoughts
Pastor Paul Baker, Fayette Church Of The Nazarene
THE HOPE & PEACE OF CHRISTMAS
By the time you read this, Christmas will be past and the new year will be upon us. Its hard to believe how fast time goes. Thats why it is so important to make the most of every day as it says in Colossians 4:5, Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. At our church, the lighting of the advent candles is part of our worship experience during the four Sundays leading up to Christmas. We light the candles of hope, peace, joy, love, and of course the Christ candle (thats the one in the middle) on Christmas Eve. But this year, something struck me as I thought about the themes of hope, peace, joy, and love, and as I read the account of the angel Gabriels announcement to Mary in Luke 1:26-38. Our world and often our lives, even as Christians, are filled with chaos and stuff that erodes the peace, hope, and joy that we are supposed to be experiencing. In fact, just because you are a Christian does not exempt you from hopeless situations. Sometimes when we talk about these advent themes, we act as if life just stops happening during the holidays, and things such as peace, hope, and joy automatically take over on their own. We talk about them, but never translate them into everyday reality. When we do this, these wonderful provisions of God do not mean much to those who find themselves in times of hopelessness, unrest, and situations with no easy answer. Mary, the mother of Jesus, finds herself in a
similar situation in Luke 1:28-34 when the angel Gabriel appears to her and tells her that she has been chosen by God to bear His son. The living bible says she was confused and disturbed, and she asked the angel, But how can I have a baby? I am a virgin. Again, this sounds like the place we often find ourselves when we face situations that seemingly overwhelm us. But look down in verse 38 of the same chapter. Mary exercises her faith. She decides that God knows best, even though she doesnt understand. She decides to embrace the hope, peace, and joy of the Lord right in the middle of this chaotic and anything but ordinary situation. She decides to embrace Gods way because His way is always best. This is a great lesson we can learn from Mary. The truth is there is really nothing that we can handle on our own. We need God for everything and in all situations. Jesus did not come to remove us from all of lifes confusion. He came so that we, through Him, could have peace, hope, and joy in the midst of even lifes toughest situation. Are you experiencing the true Christ of Christmas, and all that He brings? If not, I challenge you to stop relying on yourself, and begin trusting God in all things. Allow Him to fill you with His peace, hope, and joy so that you can in turn love others with the love of Christ. May your new year be centered in Christ alone.
