By: Kay Raypholtz THE VILLAGE REPORTER Mayor Ed Kidston and the Pioneer Village Council praised the villages street crew for their hard work during the recent snow storms. Many employees had worked double shifts, and had worked nights and weekends to keep the roads clear and safe for residents. Administrator Al Fiser said that due to the large amount of snow, the rods that are placed on top of the towns fire hydrants had been needed in order to locate those hydrants that had been buried in snow. He said that the village crews were working on keeping the hydrants free of snow so that they can be accessed if needed. As part of an effort to keep walkways safe, Chief of Police Tim Livengood asked residents to clean their sidewalks as they are able. He said that he is aware that the bitter cold and heavy snow has been a barrier to being out shoveling walks, but that if they are able, people should do what they are able in order to keep their sidewalks clear. He also encouraged people to check on elderly neighbors during adverse weather conditions. In his monthly report, Chief Livengood encouraged people to look at the Pioneer Police Departments Facebook page for information such as snow emergency levels, changes in garbage pick-up, and recent scams and thefts per the FBI. At present, Livengood is working with Fiser to assess intersections for the line of sight to prevent accidents since snow has been piled up along the road. They are working to widen the intersections that have snow piled at the curbs. During the month of January 2014, the Pioneer Police had 57 calls for service. Of these, 24 were dispatched, eighteen were officer initiated, six were by telephone, five were from walk-ins, and four came from other agencies. The southeast quadrant of Pioneer was the busiest. There were six incident reports, eight traffic warnings issued, and no traffic citations issued. There were no criminal charges filed during the month Average response time was one minute, nineteen seconds, and the average time out on calls was nine minutes, twenty seconds. The department conducted five home checks. Fire department Chief Denny Fackler said that they had responded to fifteen runs from January 13 through February

Georgia Dog Finds His Way Into The Pioneer Street Crew Praised During Hearts & Home Of One Wauseon Family February Council Meeting
10, and followed up on one controlled burn. He requested a safety meeting, and council approved the meeting for 6:30 p.m. the day of the next council meeting. He also requested and received approval to add John Rathke as a probationary firefighter. Rick Ward and David Slifka from the Reading Emergency Unit, Inc. told the council of upcoming in-service education. They have been meeting with hospitals concerning non-emergency services, and are going to have a wheelchair van and ambulance for non-emergency transports. They will provide inter-facility services. The Village of Pioneer is being considered as a venue for housing the wheelchair van, which would provide easy access for area residents needing services. They explained that they would pay any local emergency responder staff for their service, and would also supply EMT education and continuing education. The newest electrical superintendent, Brad Vandevoorde was introduced to council. He spoke to council about current activities in the department. Though no students were present at the meeting, council had received a request in writing from North Central High School students asking for the fee to rent the Community Center to be waived for their upcoming Homecoming Dance. As per tradition, council voted to allow the students to use the space at no cost. Council renewed their present one-year contract with MetaLink for an additional three year period. The business has an antenna on the water tower, for which they pay to village. Fiser noted that they have used MetaLink since 2002. Fiser was authorized to sign the contract on behalf of the village. Fiser discussed the Villages comprehension and liability insurance that is up for renewal. Last year the cost was $43,421. Following the demolition of the old water tower, council will save money this year with a cost of $42,017. During recent cold snaps, Fiser said that the sensor that tells the water tower pumps when the tower is nearing empty had frozen. Because of this, water pressure was low the preceding Saturday in early morning hours, but crews took care of it. They will be renting heaters to prevent this from happening again. He added that the tank was functioning properly. CONTINUED ON PAGE 11
NEW FAMILY ... Ben & Carol Rupp of Wauseon with Chen, a Chow adopted from Georgia. By: Tammy Allison THE VILLAGE REPORTER Ben Rupp of Wauseon, the owner of a beautiful furry Chow named Chen, never considered himself a dog lover. While he now adores Chen who joined the family in 2012, this story really begins in 2000, when a persistent chow mix showed up at the office of his business near the Fulton County Airport. Ben guessed the dog to be less than a year old and probably dropped off by someone since his business is near the dog pound. He shooed the dog away that first night only to find the dog there at 6:30 the next morning. The dog, who he decided could stay, was named Goldie after an employee who died at the shop of a massive heart attack only a day before the dog first appeared. At the time, Lifeflight leased the building where Bens business was located. Every day, Goldie would stay with Ben during the day while he worked, even lying down in the sawdust of the wood used to make cabinetry. At nights, Goldie would stay with the Lifeflight employees. Goldie became the mascot of Lifeflight and even made the annual calendar. Then in June 2012, as all dog owners would understand, Ben experienced the heartache of losing Goldie due to failing health. A few months later, Ben and wife Carol decided they wanted another dog, and more specifically a Chow like Goldie. They enlisted the help of petfinder.com and were led to a Chow Rescue organization in Atlanta, Georgia called Chaps Chow Rescue. This organization was started by a man named Mike Chapman, a retired military man with a passion for Chows. The Rupps saw a photo of Chen pop up, and they inquired for more information. It turns out, they discovered, that Chen was no ordinary dog. For three years, Chen had been a determined dog, alone, waiting, and on the run. Abandoned by his family, Chen returned daily to the home waiting for his family to return. It is thought that he probably survived off scraps from a CONTINUED ON PAGE 17

Readers Share Stunning Mid February Winter Photos From Throughout Northwest Ohio
By: Timothy Kays, Weather Editor THE VILLAGE REPORTER Granted, it has been a while since anyone used the term beautiful to describe anything about the winter in our area, but the opportunity came on the mornings of February 14 and 15. As overnight temperatures rose to the dew point, the humidity in the air condensed slightly and formed a fog. When the water droplets in the fog came into contact with objects, they froze into white ice crystals called rime. As more droplets pass over the newly formed rime, they create a delicate white coating that is nothing short of striking in its beauty. Once the temperature rises the rime breaks apart, and the falling rime gently wafts to the ground. Rime formation during the winter season is not a rarity; it happens at least a couple times each winter. It is uncommon though, when the rime stacks up and is resilient until the midday hours. We saw the latter this time around, and the effect brought back the beauty to a long, ugly winter season. Timothy Kays may be reached at tim@thevillagereporter.com PHOTO COURTESY OF ALAN KITTLE

Edon High School Receives Bomb Threat; Dismisses School Early
1984 Edon Freshman Class Officers
WHAT WE READ YEARS AGO - THE EDON COMMERCIAL
THREAT ... Edon Local School District in Edon Ohio was evacuated on Wednesday when a supposed bomb was a possible threat. By: Mark L. Mercer THE VILLAGE REPORTER EDON - This school year, our local schools have missed several days due to inclement weather. The students of Edon High School on Wednesday, February 12 lost more classroom time, this time due to a bomb threat discovered at the school. At approximately 12:30, a student reported to the administration a note written on one of the bathroom walls, making a bomb threat. Once this information was passed on to the administration, safety protocols previously established were put into action and local emergency agencies were contacted. According to a statement released by the school, after assessing the situation, Superintendent Ed Ewers ordered an evacuation of all students using the early dismissal procedures and parental notification was conducted used the parental notification system. The Edon Northwest Local School District published the following information regarding the situation: Per our safety protocols, law enforcement agencies were on campus and they took over the investigation. They enacted procedures, including obtaining dogs capable of searching the school for any possible threat. The K-9 team from the Toledo Police Department arrived on campus approximately 5:00 PM. The two-man team searched the entire Pre-K 12 facility, and by approximately 7:30 PM it was determined that the school was safe to return to normal activities. The district sent another notice to parents and staff alerting them that school would resume as scheduled on Thursday. This incident remains under investigation according to local law enforcement officials. Mark Mercer can be reached at publisher@thevillagereporter.com ADDITIONAL EDON NEWS ON PAGE 10

and community-supported functions but would also provide students the opportunity to learn transferrable theatre lighting skills as well. As Kaitlyn [explained to you earlier], we work really hard to perfect every aspect of our shows, shared Mrs. Frastaci. We work hard on the sets; we make sure costumes are professional and we work as hard as we can with students on their acting and singing to make sure everything is good, but the one thing that is holding us back, really is the lighting. As highlighted in musical clips and photos, center stage students were well lit while those at the back or off to the side were not; lighting was inconsistent and not the desired quality to showcase talented student performances. While temporary solutions ~ borrowing equipment, spotlighting individuals off and on, doing the wave ~ worked in the past, the time has come to explore more permanent lighting solutions. Our efforts are serious, noted Frastaci. We got a quote last summer [for the project] where they wanted to sell us one hundred two thousand dollars worth of equipment ~ not including installation. Greatly impacting the cost was how the stage was built; sprinklers located at the top of the area prevent the use of regular halogen lights as heat emitting from them would set off the system! Realizing theres no easy fix to a major project like this, a more economical solution has been worked out. What were able to do completely depends on the funding we receive, explained Mrs. Frastaci. Our proposal for lights, dimmer packs to fix existing lights, digital light board, can lights, some electrical work, etc. comes to seventy-five hundred dollars. While some donations have been received, others are still coming; grants have been applied for and every penny brought in would be put to good use. Although now playing the waiting game, it is hoped once fundraising efforts for the project are completed, Board members will consider offsetting any remaining costs with Permanent Improvement Funds. With project questions addressed, the Board thanked Mrs. Frastaci and her students for their informative presentation and proceeded with the evenings remaining light agenda. In highlighting their February Reports to the Board, administrators noted: TREASURER KERRY SAMPLES Stated the District had received a $14,700 casino funding payment, the second of two annual payments (August and January). Program estimates at the onset indicated the District should receive fifty to sixty thousand dollars for 2013-2014; however, casino-generated revenue is not where organizers anticipated it would be. Submitted his standard SM2 Report indicating revenues were down eighteen thousand dollars and expenses up two hundred twenty-nine thousand dollars for the same seven-month period as last year. The District is tracking two hundred forty-seven thousand dollars worse than a year ago. (Expenses included three January pay periods; tracking figures would be more realistic without the additional one hundred sixty thousand dollars in salaries and benefits.) GRADES 7-12 PRINCIPAL ANTHONY STEVENS Shared the Parents Advisory Committee met for the third time Monday evening; the forum provides a wonderful resource for parents to communicate ideas and insights on issues and concerns. The next committee meeting will be held Tuesday, March 4 beginning at 5:30 p.m.; parents of all grade 7-12 students are invited to attend. Noted research into the Annual Measurable Objectives (AMO) Report will continue; subgroup data (proficiency goals not met) will be tracked for progress. Stated preparations for next years registration are now underway. GRADES KK-6 PRINCIPAL BONNIE TROYER Recognized Januarys Bomber Courtesy Club members for the model students they are. Shared how daily teacher meetings ensure the individual needs of each student are identified and programs provided to help meet those needs. Submitted monthly reports outlining principal, teacher, student and parent activities for December and January. In other action, the Board: Accepted Cash Donations during January from Northwest Fire and Rescue ($100 for Backpacks for Families); various individuals ($60 for Backpacks for Families) and various individuals ($15 apiece to Boys Basketball 2014 EDON HIGH SCHOOL SWEETHEART KING AND QUEEN Wyatt Zulch and Baylee Gearhart. Midst shouts of approval and thunderous applause from excited classmates and friends, seniors Wyatt Zulch and Baylee Gearhart were crowned Sweetheart King and Queen during the annual Edon High School Sweetheart Dance held Saturday, February 8, 2014 in the Edon Schools Auditeria. Making the announcement was Mistress of Ceremonies and Student Council President, Jordan Matthews. Hosted by Student Council members, Wyatt and Baylee were selected by the student body from a slate of candidates nominated by Edon High School clubs and organizations.

Approved the Service Agreement with Northwest Ohio Educational Service Center (NWOESC) effective July 1, 2014. (The State requires school districts with enrollments fewer than sixteen thousand students be aligned with an ESC; $6.50 per student is pulled by the State to cover administrative costs.) Approved the contract with Northwest Ohio Educational Service Center (NWOESC) for 2014-2015 with fees to be deducted from foundation payments. Accepted Nance Steinkes retirement resignation as custodian effective January 31, 2014. Approved Deb Gensler, Denyse Johnson, Dawn Becker, Carey Kiess, Michelle Free, Brock England, John Gallehue, Heather Taylor and Mindi Kepler as grades 3-6 spring intervention teachers. Approved 2013-2014 supplemental contracts with Abbey Peters (Assistant Softball Coach/JV); Emily Bockover (Volunteer Softball); Brandt Thiel (Volunteer Baseball) and Jay Klingler (Volunteer Baseball). Approved the Resolution adopting a Calamity Day Alternative Make-up Plan. (Student Blizzard Bags.) Approved minutes from the special meeting held January 13 and last months regular session held January 14, 2014 as well as January Financial Reports. Learned from Superintendent Ewers weatherrelated equipment and roof repairs would be covered by the maintenance fund (subsidized by the one-half mill approved by voters when the facility was built) and not general fund monies. He also commended the custodial and maintenance staff for their continued efforts in keeping campus lots, drives and sidewalks cleared these past wintry weeks; their dedicated and hard-working service is greatly appreciated. Voted to enter into Executive Session to discuss the employment of public employees; no action was expected to be taken. The Edon Northwest Local Board of Education will next meet Tuesday, March 11, 2014 in the schools Media Center beginning at 5:30 p.m. Lucinda Held-Faulhaber may be reached at publisher@thevillagereporter.com.
STAGE LIGHTING PROJECT Kaitlyn Sonneberger (left) shares with Edon Northwest Local Board of Education members several aspects of Musical Excellence achieved over the past years at EHS. However, top-notch performances showcased in the auditeria, are hindered by inadequate room and stage lighting. To address current drawbacks, Cathy Frastaci, Director of Choirs (right) is spearheading an ambitious Stage Lighting Project to raise seventy-five hundred dollars for lighting upgrades. By: Lucinda Held-Faulhaber THE VILLAGE REPORTER Once again, Edon Northwest Local Board of Education was apprised of weather-related changes to the school calendar when it convened in regular session Tuesday, February 11, 2014 in the schools Media Center. President Brad McCrea called the meeting to order with members Jamie Schaffter, Aaron Hake, Dave Wehrle and Dave Haase in attendance. The modified [2013-2014] Calendar is very much a fluid calendar based on what happens tomorrow and what has happened over the last month, began Superintendent Ed Ewers. Several changes have already been implemented [including a new Pre-School/KinderKid twohour delay schedule. The first calendar modification placed into effect, occurred Friday, February 14. Originally planned as a Professional Development Day for staff, it was changed to an additional day of instruction for students. This is not a make-up day in the sense of replacing a calamity day or making up another day we missed, shared Ewers. The day was one of two requested Waiver Days and cannot be used for two purposes (wavier day and make-up day). Actual make-up days for the District are slated for Monday, February 17 (Presidents Day) and Friday, April 18 (with early dismissal); Thursday, April 10, a planned twohour delay, is now a full day of instruction for students. Well have to watch what happens through the State as far as [giving districts] additional calamity days, he remarked. [Legislature] has proposed three to four additional days; theres also the conversation of adding thirty minutes at the end of each day which could accumulate into a make-up day. Currently, seniors wont be impacted by additional make-up days and graduation will not have to be moved; however, at this point, the last class day for staff and students is still up in the air. With all weve implemented as far as changes to the calendar, when is our last day? posed Ewers. I dont know; I really dont know because of calamity days that may happen and what decisions the State will make. For now the District will take a wait and see approach to making up days missed while also maintaining calendar goals to have classes completed at the end of May. Additionally that evening, an ambitious Stage Lighting Project for the auditeria was wonderfully summarized for Board members by High School Choir Director Cathy Frastaci and music students Kaitlyn Sonneberger and Kaden Dulle. Thoroughly researched, the informative twenty-minute PowerPoint presentation shared the current lighting situation and how improvements could enhance, not only musical productions and other District

North Central Problem Based Learning Commencement A Success

By: Kay Raypholtz THE VILLAGE REPORTER Students in grades 7-12 participated in something new this year. The school had been chosen for a week of Problem Based Learning following their return from Christmas break. Students broke into several pods per grade level and worked on projects that incorporated math, science, English and history. Students studied the Continental Congress and the Declaration of Independence, and figuratively flung pies at the King of England. Students built catapults that launched pies made from insulation foam at a target 8 feet away. The winning pods from each grade were given the chance to use their catapults to fling cream pies at Principal Tim Rettig. On Thursday, February 13, the students convened in the varsity gym to demonstrate how well their catapults worked. They had already been graded for their projects, and were attempting to earn additional points for their final grade. A target was placed on wall, and students earned from one to five points for each hit. They were allowed four attempts. The mood was high, as music from the 1970s played in the background. Students in grades 7-10 had also created flags representing what they had learned over the week. The junior and seniors made Power Point presentations. With a mix of nervousness and excitement, they then moved on to test the effectiveness of their creations. Some of the catapults didnt work very well, and one or two actually broke, but a good many performed quite well. In the upper grade levels, pies were launched with great speed and power, much to the delight of the students. After two hours of fake-pie launches, the program concluded with Principal Rettig taking his place at the wall as students attempted to pummel him with cream pies. Though few pies actually hit Mr. Rettig, he still received a pie in the face courtesy of senior Abbey Litzenberg, much to the amusement of the audience. As the morning concluded, the project was declared a resounding success. Kay Raypholtz may be reached at publisher@thevillagereporter.com.

In concluding the meeting, Mayor Ed Kidsten wanted village residents to know that if they saw any of the towns road crew using village equipment to clear their driveways, this was being done with his permission. He said, Our guys work sometimes around the clock when weather like this happens. One individual had worked 16 hours straight, then had to go home and shovel out his own drive. He said he was willing to take the heat if anyone thought this was not right, but he felt it was only fair after they had worked so hard to keep the roads passable and safe during the heavy snowfalls. With no further business, council adjourned their February meeting. Regular council meetings are held on the second Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at the Pioneer Community Center.

Fire & Ice: The 2014 North Central Homecoming Celebration Featured Both
By: Timothy Kays THE VILLAGE REPORTER As the lights went down in the North Central gymnasium, and the sound of Songbird by Kenny G began to crescendo, the stage was set for the introduction of the 2014 North Central Homecoming Court on the late afternoon of February 15. Although winter still held a strong sway outside the facility, the Fire and Ice theme of the event was well balanced by the warmth within the gymnasium. Freshman Attendant Alyssa Swank was accompanied by Freshman Escort Josh Roesener, and Sophomore Attendant Asia Logan was escorted by Brett Oxender. Junior Escort Adam Knepper accompanied Junior Attendant Brooke Schofield. Homecoming Queen Candidates Hannah Siekemeyer, Jaclyn Kinsman and Shea Livensparger were introduced, followed by Homecoming King Candidates Clayton Ferguson, Cole Clark and Brady Cogswell. Flower Girl Darbi Stewart and Crown Bearer Cohen Meyers made their way to center court, followed by reigning Homecoming King Evan Whitis, and Queen Shaylee Oyer. With all present, all that was left was the suspense of who amongst the candidates would be elevated from candidate status, to that of royalty. The announcement was made that the 2014 King was none other than Clayton Ferguson, who would rule the festivities alongside his Queen, Hannah Siekemeyer. Both were crowned by the reigning royalty, concluding the ceremonies. Although the North Central Eagles found plenty of ice on the rims in their loss to Edgerton during the JV and Varsity hoops games that followed, nothing would hold back the return of the fire, which rejoined the celebrants at the Pioneer Community Center for the traditional Homecoming Dance.

A History Lesson Served With Afternoon Tea At The Montpelier Library

or their wives or families if they died. During this same time there was a man named Valentine who was a Roman Priest who felt that marriages needed to happen in order to keep the sanctity of marriage. He decided to go against Claudias and performed marriages in secret. Valentine was eventually caught, imprisoned and tortured for performing the marriages. While he was imprisoned he met a man called Asterius who has a blind daughter. Asterius send his daughter to Valentine believing that with prayer his daughter would be healed. During his meeting with the girl, they developed a friendship. Valentine was sentenced to death in 269 AD through a three part execution. He left a note behind for the young girl, signing it from your Valentine. In 496 AD Pope Gelasius marked February 14th as a celebration in honor of his martyrdom. Writing notes and letters seemed to gain popularity in the 1700s. During this time they were handwritten and on writing paper. In the 1820s, the market began for specially designed papers for Valentines. These became popular in Britain and later in the United States. In the 1840s, the postal rates in Britain became standardized, and the cards began to grow in popularity. The cards were flat paper sheets, often printed with colored illustrations and embossed borders. The sheets, when folded and sealed with wax, could be mailed. At this time a young lady named Esther A. Howland lived in Massachusetts, and her father was a stationer. After receiving a card in one of her Fathers packages she was inspired to make her own versions to sell in his store. She later hired friends to help her keep up with the orders she received. She was recognized as the center of the American Valentine production. The ladies that came for tea, enjoyed this historical account of Valentines Day.

GUEST SPEAKER .... Nancy Stahl shares her own personal collection of Valentine cards.
By: Jennifer Manlove THE VILLAGE REPORTER On Tuesday February 11th The Friends of the Library hosted a Valentine Tea. Many ladies from the community showed up wearing a special hat for the tea and many also brought their own teacups and shared stories about where they came from. Some cups were a special treasure they found, while others were handed down to them from someone in their family. Some even spent time at the end of the day using the library resources to find out what kind of china they had. The guest speaker for the day was Mrs. Nancy Stahl from Bryan, OH. She brought in her own personal collection of Valentines Cards, some of which decorated the tables. She shared with the ladies how she came love the history of Valentines Day and started her collection of historical cards. When she was a little girl she discovered something in her Mothers drawer. It was a card that said to Mary, from Noah. She questioned her Mother about it, but her Mother dismissed her question and directed her to close the door. It was later that she discovered that what she saw was a Valentines card from her Father to her Mother. This remains a very special card, which she still has in her personal collection. Mrs. Stahl also spoke of how Valentines came to be and how it is much more than just a Hallmark holiday. Around 250 AD there was an Emperor called Claudias who persecuted the Catholic Church during that particular time. Claudias had made a ruling that prohibited marriage. He based his reasoning on the hypothesis that unmarried soldiers fought better than married soldiers because married soldiers might be afraid of what might happen to them
The Montpelier Board of Education met on Tuesday, February 11, 2014, for their monthly meeting. The meeting opened with a report from grades K-6 Principal Connie Graham, who passed out weekly newsletters to the board. She said that these are sent out electronically each week. Graham also discussed teacher evaluations and explained that all teachers are evaluated twice per year. She observes during classroom time. Teachers who have contracts coming up will have four evaluations. She expressed that it was wonderful to see the teachers doing what they do best. Grade 7-12 Principal Su Thorp thanked the maintenance and custodial staff for all of their hard work keeping the building and the parking lot clean during this snowy winter. She then reported on the recent blood drive. There were 51 units of blood donated, which well exceeded the goal of 34 units. The Red Cross has instituted an incentive program for students who donate blood. If a student donates three times before graduation, they will receive red honor cords to be worn during graduation. If they add volunteer service hours, they will be entered into a $1000 scholarship drawing. For those who do all of this, plus referring five friends, they will receive a letter of recommendation from the Red Cross to the college of their choice. Students who donated also received t-shirts. Thorp told the board that if during their second school drive they receive at least 50 units of blood, a graduating senior will be awarded a $750 scholarship. In concluding her report, She said that because of the numerous school cancellations so far this school year, the third quarter had been bumped back to March 21. Following the Treasurers report, the board approved the financial statements and investments for January 2014, including cash reconciliation, SM2, the investment report, financial report, general fund revenues and expenditures report, fund summaries, and the check register.

By: Chelsie Firestone THE VILLAGE REPORTER The last regularly scheduled meeting of the West Unity Village Council convened as scheduled at 7:30 PM on Thursday, February 13, 2014 with all members present. With no legislative matters needing addressed, council quickly moved on to hear reports. Village Administrator Ric Beals reported that due to the weather that has been plaguing the area, village employees worked at plowing and removing snow on HILLTOP GIRLS VARSITY BASKETBALL ...

Beals also informed council that he has been working on a grant application to replace the severe weather siren that has been out of service as a new siren is in the $20,000 range and a stand-by generator is in the $25,000 - $30,000 range.

These services would also allow employees at Kamco and other nearby factories to receive the alerts. This has been some concern due to the running of machinery prohibiting employees from hearing the siren. Among services being looked into and discussed are Nixel and Code Red. Police Chief J.R. Jones has been working with Beals in investigating options that may be available to the village and Village Solicitor Ryan Thompson is currently looking into whether or not there is any legislation on the books that requires the village to have a siren. However, Chief Jones also pointed out that he has concerns with altogether forgoing a siren. Because persons visiting West Unity only on occasion for festivals, athletic events, and/or other recreational reasons are not likely to opt in to a mobile alert system for the village and because not everyone has a cell phone that they carry with them at all times, it is unlikely that everyone inside the village would receive a mobile alert. While he likes the additional protection that the mobile alert system might provide and understands that the costs of a new siren are high, Jones is asking that Beals continue to work on the grant application process for replacing the siren regardless of Thompsons findings. The meeting adjourned with Council entering into Executive Session for the purpose of the discussion of personnel. No further action was taken.

Health Partners Relationship Continues To Benefit ADAMhs Board
Williams County Clerk Of Courts Guest Speaker At Stryker Rotary
The Four County ADAMhs Board partnership with Health Partners of Western Ohio continues to provide savings for the board and improved healthcare benefits to an increasing number of persons who need a family doctor and access to affordable prescription medications. During his report at Thursdays ADAMhs Board meeting (February 13), CEO Les McCaslin said the board has spent less than 6 percent of its state allocation for psychiatric medications through the end of December. Actual spending through the first six months of the fiscal year was less than $30,000 as most clients are now getting their psychiatric medications through the Health Partners pharmacy. Next month, McCaslin said he will meet with the director of the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services to request that some of the boards unused medication allocation be released to the board so it can be spent on other needs. He also reported that a federal grant application to fund a dental clinic through Health Partners of Western Ohio has been submitted to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). If approved, the clinic would likely be located in Defiance and provide dental services to ADAMhs-funded clients

By: Timothy Kays THE VILLAGE REPORTER The kids of the Fayette Schools have had the unenviable task of leading their community through heartbreaking sorrow when their classmates were lost to disease and tragedy. Each time that they were forced to pass through the refiners fire though, they emerged stronger, with a close-knit association that blurs the line between family and just community. If there is one other thing that came from these trials, it is an unswerving dedication to each other that transcends life... these kids do not, cannot and will not forget those who no longer walk with them in this life. On Senior Night in Fayette last week, two seniors stood where three should have been. Those two, Jena Myers and Madelyn Maginn, went into the stands to present their warmups to the mother of the third, Mikayla Smith, who passed away just prior to the start of the school year. When it comes to leadership qualities, the kids of Fayette, by suffering through pain and loss, have taught many an adult a master class in perseverance through pain. They never took the easy way out by sweeping everything under the rug...they retained their dignity, and preserved the dignity of their classmates by clinging fast to, and cherishing the memories of their classmates. We've got some great kids 'round these parts! Below are the comments the community has shared on our Facebook page.

The foundation of love & support from home is always there, no matter how far away we go or how long were away. It warms my heart to know that the close ties never break.

Members of the Fayette Local Board of Education convened in regular session on the evening of February 11 in the Art Room at Fayette High School. The public participation portion of the agenda allowed for an insightful update for the Board as to the recent doings of the Fayette High School Tech Team. Tech Team members Gavin Rufenacht and Michael Brubaker demonstrated a small robotic device that they said took about two days to assemble and program. Using robotics and color-sensing LEDs, this machine, the parts and assembly time for which being provided under the 21st Century Grant, will take any Rubiks Cube placed on its staging platform, no matter how mixed up the cube may be, and robotically solve it. The cube was given to Board President Kirk Keiser who gave it a few twists to scramble the colors. After adjustments to the machine, it successfully solved the cube in about four minutes. District Superintendent Erik Belcher noted that due to the severity of the weather to date, the allotted five calamity days and three Blizzard Bags are well beyond depleted. Presidents Day will be used for a makeup day, and other makeup days are being pondered pending any relief from Columbus. The Board moved to approve the Tech Team students assisting Diabetes Youth Service in technology for the Big Shots Resident Camp at Recreation Unlimited in Ashley, Ohio on June 2127, 2014 and at the Little Shots Day Camp, and at July 21-25, 2014 at Oleander Park in Sylvania, Ohio. Any transportation costs will be reimbursed to the school, pending approval of background checks and drug testing. The Board also moved to approve the senior class trip to Newport, KY and Cincinnati, OH on May 14-15, 2014, as well as the FFA to attend the Washington Leadership Conference from June 9-16. Under the agreements portion of the agenda, the Board moved to approve the calendar year 2014 membership in the Ohio School Board Association in the amount of $3,097.00, which includes an electronic copy of the OSBA Briefcase subscription for board members and administration. The Board entered into an agreement with eSchoolview for the creation and hosting districts website, with a setup cost of $1,995.00 and an annual fee of $3,348, of which 70% qualifies for reimbursed E-rate funding, through June 2019. The Board declared an urgent necessity to suspend bidding to approve a bus purchase from Cardinal Bus Sales for an 84 passenger bus as per specs, as well as approving the financing for the new bus through State Bank at a rate of 2.25% for 3 years and no processing fees. The Board dedicated a significant portion of the agenda to agreements and contracts pertaining to the Consortium of Sixteen.

Fayette Opera House hosted some great entertainment on Saturday February 15th for their Guest Artist Series. The Cottonwood Jam String Band from the greater Toledo area came to perform for a nice crowd. The band is known for playing a blend of traditional Old Time Appalachian, Folk, and Dance music, and that is just what they did for their audience Saturday night. Some of the songs they played included familiar tunes like Oh, Susanna and If I Had a Hammer. The musical group played a rollicking stew of American roots music that warmed up the night. After the performance, All Things Food from Bryan, Ohio provided refreshments for the concert. The audience was able to meet
and greet the band during this time. The Cottonwood Jam String Band formed in 2008. They plat a repertoire f Bluegrass, 19th and early 20th century folk, Appalachian, gospel, Irish and Cajun music.

Georgia Dog Finds His Way Into The Hearts & Home Of One Wauseon Family
Chen knows his routine now, Ben shares. The once silent Chen has even picked up the habit of barking at the doorbell from Bens brothers dog. Carol shares that when their teenage son gets up in the middle of the night for a snack, Chen will bark at him, too. At first, Chen was skittish during walks. Every twenty feet, he would stop and look behind him. He doesnt do that anymore. Ben speculates that from Chens years of being on the run, he had learned to be defensive and always on the watch. Now, Chen is part of the family. He lies on the floor with the family while they watch TV. He hides his bones in the family couch. He is at home. And, he may even have a companion joining him, too, as the Rupps are searching for another Chow. Many rescue organizations prefer that their dogs stay in their own states, so they patiently are searching for the perfect companion for Chen.

PROUD ... During his report to the Board, WMS Principal Joe Friess shared this photo of the 8th Grade Wauseon and Archbold Basketball teams and commented that he was proud to see two rival teams come together to share a moment and give thanks for their right to compete. By: Chelsie Firestone THE VILLAGE REPORTER The last regularly scheduled meeting of the Wauseon Board of Education held on Monday, February 10 opened with Varsity Softball Coach Justine Johnston reading a two page statement to the board. In her statement Johnston explained her commitment to Wauseons softball program but also vowed her resignation if the two assistant coaches she had been working with since she came to Wauseon would not be considered to fill the volunteer assistant coaching positions that they had been filling since she began coaching four years ago. She explained that the two coaches, Roy Norman and Johnstons father, Larry Johnston, had also dedicated themselves to the betterment of Wauseons softball program and to the girls. Tearfully reading from her statement, Johnston expressed her determination and how important it was for her to maintain her current volunteer coaches. This job is very important to me but there comes a time in life when we are called to stand up for what is right, not what is easy If my two coaches, Roy Norman and Larry Johnston, are not approved then I must resign my position effective immediately. Johnston also expressed that it pained her to think of her father, who has been recently diagnosed with a stage four brain tumor, being told he will no longer be able to report to the softball field and be a part of the program he has been a part of for the last four years. Johnston also briefly touched upon prior problems that she had faced while coaching for Wauseon, noting that she had been verbally assaulted by parents in the past and that the Board had done nothing to show her support. Several parents were on hand to show Johnston support as she confronted the board and many of them made their own statements. Roy Normans wife, Anna, noted the thousands of hours put into the softball program by her husband and Larry Johnston. Another parent, Lynn Smith, explained what seemed to be the root of the problem the lack of an explanation. Smith told the Board, I guess I dont know the problem. If this is your decision then I need to know why. Theresa Pratt commented on Larry Johnstons commitment to bettering the self esteem of the girls on the softball team and said I dont know why the Board wouldnt want to have him. Senior softball player and daughter of Roy Norman, Samantha Norman, also spoke to the board on behalf of her father and Larry Johnston. She expressed that she will not give up her senior year of softball if her father is not reinstated. Ill play and my season will be dedicated to them because I know that they will support me both on and off the field. Following these statements Superintendent Larry Brown explained only that the decision by the Board had been made several months prior and was not a last minute decision. Little more was said on the matter during open session. However, Ryan Yackee was approved later in the meeting as a volunteer softball coach and Brown eventually spoke to the parents in attendance, explaining to them that The Board may not say anything in response to you but they are listening. The matter was later discussed by the Board in executive session, with no further action being taken. Johnston will need to submit a formal letter of resignation if she wishes to resign. Financial matters approved by the Board during the meeting included modifications and supplemental modifications to the FY14 Certificate of Estimated Resources and the FY14 Permanent Appropriations which involved the Straight A Grant Fund. A motion to authorize the Superintendent to provide monetary support to the School Resource Officer Program in the amount of $5000 was also approved. With funding for the program historically coming from the Wauseon Police Department, this marks the first year that the District has been able to help with the costs of the program that Brown notes serves both the students and the Police Department. Personnel items approved by the Board included the aforementioned approval as Ryan Yackee as a Volunteer Assistant Softball Coach for the 2013-14 school year as well Jack Croniger and Jack Warncke as Volunteer Assistant Baseball coaches. Adam Moose was approved as a WHS Volunteer Assistant Track Coach pending submission of a clean BCI/FBI background check. Jo Dee Aeschliman was approved as a Substitute Secretary for the 2013-14 school year. The reassignment of Mark Britsch from a WMS 6th Grade Teacher to the WEVS Virtual Academy Teacher, effective February 11, 2014, was also approved with funding for the position being provided by the Ohio Department of Education Straight A Grant. The resignations of Scott Hoover, Varsity Boys Soccer Coach, and Denise Meyer, WEVS District Test Coordinator were also accepted with the resignations being retroactive to January 17, 2014 and January 31, 2014, respectively. Reports heard from by the Board from Building Principals often included the phrase rescheduling the reschedules as faculty and administration continue to work towards completing all necessary assessments in the midst of this seasons inclement weather. Also included in these reschedules is Grandparents Day, which will be held February 20 at 2:00 PM. The meeting closed with the Board entering into Executive Session for the discussion of personnel. No further action was taken. Chelsie Firestone can be reached at chelsie@thevillagereporter.com

nearby Kroger dumpster. Neighborhood children threw rocks at him, but he still returned daily. A woman named Liza who fosters Chows found about Chen and made it her mission to rescue him. Chen was elusive, though, and it took her a few months to find him and then coax him to her. The Rupps worked with Liza towards bringing Chen home to Ohio. Ben would text her once a day, and she would send pictures. Then in November 2012, arrangements were made for his brother Perry to fly them to Atlanta to meet Chen in person. It was a bittersweet good-bye for Liza who was happy to see Chen leaving for a good home, but sad as she had grown attached to the loving animal. Ben says it has probably taken about a year for Chen to feel comfortable. They lovingly refer to him as their giant housecat. The docile Chow has come a long way towards trusting. Unlike Goldie, though, Chen is not as fond of Bens workshop. The noise of the equipment seems to scare him, so Chen spends doggy daycare time during the day at the home of Bens parents Wes and Reta Rupp who also have grown to love the dog. At about 4:30 each afternoon, Chen heads to the door and waits for Bens arrival.

Devotional Thought / Fellowship of Christian Athletes

BY: REX STUMP - A CLAW-LIKE LOVE!?
you deposit your quarters into the game. You now control the claws direction, moving the claw above the prize you desire. Once youve moved the claw to its hovering position, you hit the big green button! This causes the claw to drop onto your desired prize. The claw moves down and makes a closing motion with its three prongs and then rises up, hopefully securing and lifting your prize. However, it seems that 9 out of 10 times it fails. The claw isnt exactly strong and the prizes are typically odd shaped and bulky. Then what happens? My child says, Dad, can I try again? Please!!! Such eager and competitive spirits to win! Sometimes loving others is like the claw game. I deposit my time and sometimes money into an effort to love someone. I drop my love on them and sometimes no matter how hard I try, it seems that I did nothing to win their love. Heres the next question, Do you give up on loving people and walk away? Or do you have an attitude like a child Can I try again?! Gods love is relentless! He hovers over us, sends down His love upon us and boom - 9 out of 10 times we dont budge. But Gods love is relentless for us. My sin may weigh me down, and sometimes the weight of other things hold me down, but Gods love continues. Praise God that His love endures forever! His love is faithful! What about your love for others? You may empty your pockets, trying and trying, until you get that stuffed toy. Will you empty yourself in efforts to love others? Countless hours, numerous miles, and relentless pursuit. Because God loves us, we love others. God has called us to not give up and to continue to love others! Here in FCA we will use a Claw-like love and share the love of God daily! For more reading, check out John 3:16, Psalm 118:1, & Psalm 136.
IS THERE AN ANTIDOTE TO THE FATEFUL DISEASE OF PRIDE?

The Bible has several words that it uses to describe one of humanitys great problems, a haughty spirit, a prideful heart, an arrogant attitude. Call it what you will, the troubling question for us to consider is this... Is there is a remedy for this fateful disease, a cure that is the antithesis of its nemesis, pride? Pastor and author David Jeremiah writes in his March 7, 2006 Turning Point Devotional the following on the subject of pride Sir John Templeton, the 92-year-old founder of the Templeton Prize in science and religion, said, What I am financing is humility. I want people to realize you shouldnt think you know it all. Perhaps admitting we dont know it allthat God is God and were notis Step One toward humility. When God spoke to Israel about its future, He said, If my peoplewill humble themselvesI will hear from heaven. Humility is saying, I need God. There is much I do not know and cannot do on my own. Im not ashamed to admit I am inadequate to save myself now or for eternity. Grace fuels humility, and grace comes from God. In fact, James wrote that God gives grace to the humble. More grace, more humility. More humility, more grace. Tell God what you dont know, and let His grace lead you to a greater dependence on Him. If Christ was willing to humble Himself before God, shouldnt we who follow Him do the same?
