WAUSEON CUB SCOUT GROUP Pioneer Resident / West Unity Native Embarks On Cross Country Adventure Spare Change Popcorn For Troops Program
Webster dictionary defines adventure as an undertaking usually involving danger and unknown risks or an exciting or remarkable experience. Local resident Jason Jennings embodies the word to the fullest. On September 1, with no training whatsoever, Jennings embarked upon a cross country bicycle adventure to San Francisco, California. When asked why, Jennings replied, No reason, just to do it. Each year, Jennings tackles a new adventure. Last year it was the Run with the Bulls festival in Spain.

Hazel L. Pike, 87, of S. Fayette St., Fayette, died early Tuesday morning, September 17, 2013, at Fairlawn Haven in Archbold, OH. She was born October 11, 1925, in Morenci, MI to the late Samuel and Ethel (Carter) Baker. She married Sylvan Zip E.

14th Annual Candlelight Vigil for Mental Health Set for October 6
The 14th annual Candlelight Vigil for Mental Health will be held Sunday evening, October 6 starting at 6 p.m. at St. John United Church of Christ, 950 Webster St., Defiance. Sponsored by NAMI Four County, the event serves as the kick-off to Mental Health Awareness Week, October 6 through 12. Terry Russell, executive director of NAMI Ohio, will be the keynote speaker at this years event. A mental health professional for more than 40 years, he became the executive director of NAMI Ohio in 1998 after serving 22 years as the president/CEO of the Eastern Miami Valley ADAMHS Board in Clark, Greene and Madison counties in Ohio. Russell, who has a brother with schizophrenia, has received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Margaret Clark Morgan Foundation, Ohios largest foundation working to enhance the care of those suffering from mental illness. In addition to Russell, other speakers include Trisha Vassar, also a family member of persons with a mental illness, and Mark Krieger, president of the local NAMI chapter. After the program, a short, candlelight walk across the Defiance College campus is planned with refreshments and fellowship afterward in the church fellowship hall. Persons who are unable to attend Sundays event can watch it on TV-26 later in the week at 9 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays starting October 9 and continuing through October 26. Last years candlelight program will be re-broadcast on TV26 at 9 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays starting the week of September 23. Mental illnesses are among the most common, but least treated health problems in America today, said Ron Hofacker, candlelight vigil coordinator. While some illnesses are more likely to occur because of lifestyle choices, depression and other mood disorders as well as schizophrenia are not the result of any choice the person made. Hofacker explained that the purpose of the candlelight vigil is to help the community understand that mental illnesses affect about 1 in 4 Americans, making it more common than cancer and heart disease. Further, mental illnesses are medical illnesses affecting the brain much like cardiovascular diseases affect the heart, he said. Both have a cause and a treatment. With mental illnesses, the treatment is effective about 70 percent of the time. However, only about 1 in 3 persons with a diagnosable mental illness ever seek medical help. Mood disorders such as depression are the most common mental illnesses. Symptoms that are typical of depression include: Persistent sad or irritable mood, Noticeable changes in sleep, appetite and energy, Difficulty thinking, concentrating or remembering, Lack of interest in or pleasure from activities that were once enjoyed, Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, hopelessness and emptiness, Persistent physical symptoms such as headaches, digestive disorders and chronic pain that do not respond to treatment, and Re-occurring thoughts of death or suicide. If three or more of these symptoms occur, last more than two weeks and interfere with ordinary functioning, it is recommended that the person seek medical help. We especially want individuals and families to know that help is available, many times starting with their family doctor, Hofacker said. And, for those without insurance or on a limited income, help is available through the ADAMhs Board system. For information about where to get help, simply call 2-1-1. NAMI Four County is an affiliate of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the nations largest organization of family members and friends of persons recovering from a mental illness. The local chapter meets the first Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m. at the ADAMhs Board office, T-761 State Route 66 south of Archbold. All meetings are open to the public. (However, there will be no meeting in October.)

The purpose of the grant is to expand volunteer respite programs in Ohio. The Ohio Department on Aging, the Ohio Respite Coalition, the Ohio Family and Children First Council and others are partnering to better coordinate existing state respite services and develop additional services to support the growing number of family caregivers. Hands of Grace is a ministry serving the elderly and disabled of Fulton County to provide respite services, transportation and various services such as yard work and friendly visits. It is our goal to use grant funding to increase the number of capable volunteers, raise awareness to the benefits of respite and assure families that these services improve the quality of life said Laura Kern, Board Member for Hands of Grace. Plans to utilize the $12,000 of grant money include volunteer drives, increased presence at community events and regular support group meetings. What an honor it is for a small non-profit in a rural county to receive such recognition, adds Ms. Kern. It speaks not only to the quality of our volunteers, staff, and board members, but the overwhelming support from community members and local businesses. "About 80 percent of long-term care for older Ohioans, children and those with special needs is provided by informal caregivers such as family members and friends," said Bonnie K. Burman, director of the Ohio Department of Aging. "We are proud to support the work of Hands of Grace to recruit, train and utilize volunteers to help family caregivers a vital part of Ohio's long-term care system take care of themselves so that they can best care for their loved ones."

Edons Hayden Runyan Completes Eagle Scout Service Project

Nearly thirty volunteers ~ family, friends, fellow scouts and community members ~ joined then fourteenyear old Hayden Runyan of Edon in completing his Eagle Scout Service Project requirement. Accomplished over a five-month period last summer, Hayden spearheaded the job to raise four dugout shelter roofs at Walz Park ball fields. Every last detail of the project, from securing financial backing for materials (over twenty-four hundred dollars in donations was received from local businesses, organizations and individuals) to arranging crew shifts and workloads, was carefully planned by Hayden. Thanks to his willingness to give back to the community, this seasons teams and coaches were fully protected from spring rains, harsh summer rays and, of course, foul balls. This was probably the biggest project Ive done, said Hayden. Planning every detail taught me a lot about leadership; how to be organized, to coordinate workers and to get donations. It was a good experience. Hayden, a member of Edon Troop 74, plans to earn the rank of Eagle Scout before the end of 2013. Offering him assistance and guidance over the years includes Scoutmaster Dan Ankney and Assistant Scoutmasters David Loughborough and Doug Michael.

EAGLE SCOUT SERVICE PROJECT After experiencing wet uniforms and sunburns during games over the years (along with parents and longtime coaches, Todd and Angie Runyan), Hayden Runyan settled on constructing dugout roofs at Walz Park ball fields for his Eagle Scout Service Project requirement. Completed last summer, teams were able to enjoy this past season safe from Mother Natures reach.

Pioneer Village Employee Pioneer Native Embarks ... Expresses Concerns At September Meeting
By: Kay Raypholz THE VILLAGE REPORTER Village of Pioneer Electric Department Supervisor Rick Fairbanks addressed the council at their monthly meeting on Tuesday, September 17. He claimed that he was receiving pressure to resign from or retire from his position at the electrical department. Although he implied that he had come to terms with the councils assertion that they cannot continue to afford three linemen, he said that he believes that the two other men who are lineman were not yet prepared to work without an experienced lineman at their side. Fairbanks has brought 27 years of experience to the position. While he agreed that the other two linemen, who recently completed training and had received certification, were proficient in many aspects of the job, he had concerns about them taking the proper safety steps when working with industrial electrical systems. Mayor Ed Kidsten and Village Administrator Al Fiser and two other council members said that they believed the two newest lineman were capable of handing the job. Kidston gave Fairbanks great accolades for the admirable job he has been doing for the village. Council then went into executive session to discuss personnel matters, and upon return to regular session, continued the meeting. Police Chief Tim Livengood told council that he had received questions about the reason flags were flying half-staff. This was done as a show of respect to those whose lives were lost in the shooting tragedy at the Naval Yard in Washington, D.C. In August, the police department received 136 calls of which 32 were dispatched. There were 84 officer initiated calls, 10 walkins and some complaints via phone. The southeast quadrant remains the busiest section of the village, but Livengood noted that this does not mean increased crime. Rather it reflects that many people were on vacation in the area and had asked officers to do daily house checks in their absence. Additionally, the department logged 25 incident reports, 20 citations, and 4 traffic citations. Fire Chief Denny Fackler said that his department had answered 33 calls, and had 5 controlled burns in the last month. A letter from Keeley Burt was read, thanking the fire and police departments and the village for making German Fest a success. Dawn Baldwin, director of the Williams County 9-1-1 Communications Emergency Management Agency, was present to discuss the Hazard Mitigation Plan to the council. The Plan, which would set in place a plan in case of a disaster in the county, would need to be in place to receive FEMA funding if the county would qualify. This plans for the what ifs and I hope it never situations such as catastrophic summer or winter storms, pandemics, and train derailments, for example. Personal preparedness is emphasized, and it outlines other areas that need improvement, such as tree-trimming and sewer system maintenance, and maintaining working storm sirens. Such measures will minimize the loss to life and property. This agreement would be in effect for five years. Baldwin asked council to formally adopt the Williams County Hazard Mitigation Plan and council voted to approve. In his Administrators report, Fiser said that the water line project on State Street was complete other than a few house taps, which should be done within the week. The alley was not done, but the village should be able to do that work with their employees when work on water lines needs to be done. The project went well. Fiser also recommended construction to widen Lakeshore Drive. The street committee had checked out the area of the street that needs improvement because at this time, a section of the street is in shambles due to heavy traffic and recent construction. They would like to repave this year and increase the width of the street from 16-17 feet to 20 feet, and to 22 feet at the inside of the curb. This will improve drainage as well as making it easier to accommodate traffic and is of benefit to the area as well as residents of the subdivision. NormanThorp, who has developed the south end of Lakeshore Drive with several apartment buildings, had told Fiser that he was willing to fund half the cost. Estimates have come in from two sources: Nelson Asphalt at $24,000 and M & M Asphalt at $23,800 for the project. Council voted to approve allowing Fiser to get quotes for the Lakeshore Drive Project. Signs promoting school spirit have been approved. There will be a sign stating Home of the North Central Eagles at the large display at the south of town on State Street. Council shared pictures two designs for consideration for Crommer Park. Cost of the sign could amount to about $1100, and brick work may be around $1000, though estimates have not yet been sought. Council voted to make an early renewal of their health insurance plan for village employees. Though the present renewal date is not until March 2014, renewing as of December 1st will result in less of an increase in the cost of premiums. Village employees will receive letters about the exchange rates, which will be sent out by October 1. Council also voted to trade in the old backhoe for a new backhoe, as the old one is in poor shape and may not last another year. They will receive $28,000 on the trade-in toward a newer model. A date for the demolition of the old water tower is set for mid-November, and should be completed by December 1. Council member Richard Schmucker will arrange for a photographer to take pictures of the historic tower. Schmucker also noted that a new bench has been installed behind the Community Center overlooking the park. The AMP-Ohio annual conference is being held from October 28-31, and Mayor Kidston, Al Fiser, and Rick Fairbanks will attend this year. Pioneers children will be happy to know that the annual Halloween Trickor-Treat event will be held on October 31st this year. It will be from 5-7 p.m., and there will be a parade from the Fire Hall. Village officials met with the Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) and received revised scores on projects they have in contention for funding. They are hoping that they continue to receive high scores which will put them in the running for district level funding. Funding would be used toward an additional drainage pipe to the lagoon. Right now, both pump stations share one line which runs to the lagoon, but which can get clogged during times of heavy rain. The system will run much more efficiently with two pipes. Village Clerk April McMillen has received price quotes for a credit/ debit machine for the village office. There would be a $395 fee for set-up and equipment, and for training. There will be a cost for using a debit or credit card to pay for utilities, with a cost of $3 added to credit cards, and $.33 plus percent for those using debit cards. It would not be set up until the first of the year. McMillen said that many people had asked her about getting a credit/debit card in the village office, but council had concerns that the cost to use them may be a deterrent for people using them. Village residents are welcome to give their input by calling or contacting the village office. McMillen will be attending a Municipal Clerks conference from October 14-17. She has received scholarship money toward the cost of the conference. Council set a date for the next meeting. It will be held a week earlier than usual and is scheduled for Monday, October 7, 2013, at 7:00 p.m. at the Community Center. Kay Raypholtz may be reached at publisher@thevillagereporter.com
So far, along the way, Jennings has met a lot of interesting people. Hes been chased by dogs. I had to go really fast! His route is not strictly mapped out, and his destination date is loosely set around October 20th. On average, he bikes between 40 to 70 miles a day, but he has done as many as 91 miles in one day. Originally, Jennings had planned to camp along the way, but a tire issue with his trailer caused him to ditch that idea. Instead, he traded the trailer for a backpack. Eight miles into the ride, he realized that the backpack was far too heavy. He stopped at a friends house, unloaded the backpack, and headed back out with the decision to stay at motels along the way. The most challenging aspect he had not anticipated has definitely been the wind. He has been warned by a truck driver that the wind in Wyoming is very bad. Also, he is quick to admit he is not fond of hills. His body aches. Muscles he doesnt normally use are being worked to the max. That first morning after pedaling 70 miles the day prior, he woke up sore. He continues to wake up many mornings in some pain, but the aches go away once I start. Typically, he pedals from 8 in the morning until dark stopping only for

meals, photo opportunities, and necessary breaks. It can be lonely on the road. He wishes he had an IPod for some music. He has his phone, but it serves as his map so he does what he can to conserve the battery. Learning as he goes, he has had to fix a gear issue and may be replacing a tire soon as his back tire is going bald. He is looking forward to smoother roads in the near future. Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, and California allow bicyclists on their interstates. For someone who has been skydiving nine times, rock climbing, and hang gliding, a cross country bike ride is just another adventure to add to the list of accomplishments for a man who loves traveling. He says, Its been a lot of pain and exhausting, but I think it will be worth it. He plans to possibly spend a few days in San Francisco before flying home. His advice to someone who thinks a cross country bike expedition sounds intriguingJust do it, but I would recommend training first! As for his next adventure? Maybe a New Zealand adventure or Alaskan rock climbing. Whatever he decides, it will be sure to include some sort of adventure.

North Central School Board Approves FFA Attendance At National Convention

By: Kay Raypholtz THE VILLAGE REPORTER The North Central Board of Education approved a trip for their Future Farmers American students this fall during their regular meeting on Monday, September 16, 2013. Also up for voting and discussion was the consent agenda which included the following: 1. Minutes from the August 19, 2013 meeting. 2. Financial statements and investments from August. 3. - Employments: Cindy Turner, Cafeteria Substitute; Jonathon Bostic, PhD, Consultant Contract ($700/day @ 8 days); Brooks Vastal, PhD, Consultant Contract ($700/day @ 8 days) 4. FFA National Convention October 30th-November 2nd in Louisville, Kentucky. 5. Disposal of textbooks and 2013 miscellaneous items. As part of the discussion concerning the FFAs upcoming trip, advisor Jess Tracey attended the meeting accompanied by an FFA student. She explained that the National Convention had been changed to Louisville, Kentucky, this year. The past several years, it had been held in Indianapolis. The North Central Chapter, along with the chapters from Fairview and Edgerton, will each have 15 students attending. They are sharing a charter bus to make the trip. This year, North Central has three students who have achieved the student FFA Degree. Only one-half of onepercent of all FFA students earn the degree and it is indeed a big accomplishment for North Central to have three students who qualify. Those students are Austin Douglass, Nic Carlson, and Cody Hulbert. Their awards will be conferred at the conference. Board member Craig McKarns congratulated the Marching Band which he said did an outstanding job during the contest at the Williams County Fair. He said that they have a good sized band for a smaller school, and commended band director Mr. Luthy for his work with the students. Elementary Principal Paul Jones gave an update on the number of students in the elementary/middle school. There are 319 students enrolled in North Central in grades pre-K through 6th grade. The school will begin its church-release program in October, and it will be held on the first Friday of each month through April at a nearby church. Matthew Studer will be in charge. Mrs. Lashaway is running the volunteer reading program during which students will receive oneon-one help for 20-30 minutes each week with their reading comprehension. The 3rd Grade Reading Guarantee will be in full effect this year, and students will have to achieve a score of 392 or better on the test in order to advance to the 4th grade. The 21st Century After-School program enters its fifth and final year during the 2013-2014 school year. This is an before-school/after-school program for children, and an average of 40 to 50 students are served each year. Though the grant for this program will expire, Jones plans to submit grants for an additional five years, and if that would not be approved, then the school will look into creating a program. Jones reported that the co-teaching programs are going well. The FAST program is beginning and they are getting names of eligible 6th graders compiled. The Quiz Bowl is an event that students and staff look forward to, and it will be held on October 24 this year. In his report, High School Principal Tim Rettig, he said that he had met with the two educational consultants about a problem or project approach based learning. He noted that teachers had already been gravitating toward a project based approach, and that they have good ideas for incorporating this type of learning into their classrooms. Rettig and his staff are thinking about creating an incentive for 8th graders to work hard throughout the year. Those keeping up their grades may be able to earn a trip during the last day or two of school. Rettig said that last year, 11 of the 13 students who had to take summer school were 8th graders, and he would like to see them do better during the school year so that will not have to worry about passing summer school to advance to high school. Lastly, he told the board that athletic trainer Heather Mews has been a great addition to the high school. The board approved the financial report which included an appropriation addition in the form of $25,400 to the Race-to-theTop fund. Permanent appropriations for Fiscal Year 2014 were approved as was the Five-Year forecast for the October submission. Treasurer Eric Smeltzer said that right now, there is an excess of revenue over expenditures, but toward the end of the five years, there could be deficits. He read a list of ways that the school could budget for expenditures, and where they would be receiving increases in income. One thing that will help the local school is that they should be receiving tax money from Menards next year. Superintendent Ken Boyer discussed a Memorandum of Understanding which was approved for additional changes in E.D.s; however, a change in language concerning the sick leave bank was tabled pending further information. The first was to address an increase in mentor hours for new teachers. New teachers are mentored in their first four years of service. In the recent past, it had been for only two years, so this is the reason mentor hours have increased. The board officially approved the employment of Heather Mays as the athletic trainer, and extra-duty position. The Ohio Facilities Commission 2014 Construction Resolution and Lapsed District Intent Form was approved as the district may have a chance to be considered for a possible facilities project next year. Boyer has been working with the building commission and expects to hear from them soon. Boyer also discussed the new grading system for school districts. Before, districts were given one composite rating, and now grades are split into sections. Some are based on the previous three years, and some are not. This is a more complicated formula, and school officials are learning how to interpret the results. Next year, there will be a composite grade. The board went into executive session to discuss personnel before adjourning for the evening after their return to open session. No action was expected to be taken.

CBS Study Club Held On September 4, 2013

The CBS Study Club started their 64th year at the Hillside Heights home of Doris Copeland on September 4, 2013. She served a delicious pistachio dessert. Twelve members answered the roll call by telling about their first and last school. Carman Oxender gave the devotions using selections from OUR DAILY BREAD. Josephine Clark read a tribute to Donna Jean Bistline that she had written. A short business meeting followed. The food distribution will go to West Unity this month. Potpourri of Good Reading was selected as the theme for the programs this year. MY FIRST LADIES a memoir written by Nancy Clarke with Christie Matheson was chosen and given by Jean Young to begin the programs. Nancy Clarke was married to a military man and had traveled extensively. She received floral training at the Hudsons School of Floral Design in Cleveland, Ohio. In 1978, her husband was stationed in Washington, D.C. and they moved to Fairfax, Virginia. She called the White House Floral Designer and asked to be a volunteer florist. She was a volunteer for three years. She became full time in 1981 and then in 1983 became the head of floral design at the White House. The first two chapters are dedicated to the White House. How it is run, Location of everything, and what is expected of people who work there. The flower shop is located in the basement of the White House. Nancys duties after 1985 were to work with The First Lady, The Chief Usher and the White House Social Secretary. My first ladies were Rosalind Carter, Nancy Reagan, Barbara Bush, Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush and Michelle Obama... She didnt work directly with Rosalind Carter. SHe only worked a few months with Mrs. Obama. She retired in the summer of 2008. She had close relations with the other First Ladies. By the time you finish the book, you will have learned a great deal about the personalities of these ladies. You will know what flowers they like best, and what colors they like. Nancy loved every one of her experiences and she is able to make you excited too. The two visits of Queen Elizabeth, the visits of many of the heads of state, the visits and entertainments of movie stars, the weddings for the two Bush daughters were some of her fondest memories. This book helps you to understand the lives of the First Ladies who make the White House a home for a few years. There are so many pictures to enjoy and so many thank you notes to read. Nancy has shared thirty years of her life, so you can enjoy that time too. The next CBS Study Club is October 2, 2013 at the home of Mary Hutchinson in West Unity.

FAYETTE TO HOST FALL AUTOMOTIVE SHOW

Cooking Up a Furnace At The Fayette Opera House

Cooking will take center-stage at Fayettes historic Opera House on Saturday, October 5th when the Fayette Arts Council hosts a fundraising event called Cooking up a Furnace. Sponsored by the Fayette Arts Council and the Opera House Association, this benefit, Pampered Chef Cooking Show will raise funds for a new heating and cooling system for the first floor of the Opera House. The host for the event will be Pampered Chef local representative Cathy Leininger. In addition to participating in an outstanding culinary workshop (complete with food samples), each participant will receive a gift & coupon bag, a Pampered Chef Cook Book and will be eligible for the Cooking up a Furnace Drawing. Tickets for the event are $5.00 and may be purchased from any Fayette Arts Council Member or by calling (419) 2373111 and leaving your name and ticket request. All of the ticket income as well one third of the proceeds from the sale of the Pampered Chef items will offset the cost of the recently installed replacement furnace and new air conditioning system. The Opera House has been in need of an air conditioning system on the first floor for years. said Tom Spiess, Director of the Fayette Arts Council. Fayettes historic old facility serves as the local nutrition site for the Fulton County Senior Citizen Center. The existing cooling system struggled to maintain comfort levels during the summer season. The old window unit was too small, too noisy and too challenging for Senior Site Management to manage on a daily basis said Spiess. To address this need; the Board of the Fayette Arts Council (owner of the Opera House) initiated a drive to raise the dollars needed to upgrade the system. All funds to cover the cost of the installation are raised locally from private donations and fundraising events such as the Cooking up a Furnace campaign. As the Fayette Arts Council nears the end of this fundraising effort, a private challee donation of $1000 was made by a loyal resident to stimulate support and to bring the campaign to a successful conclusion. With the funds raised through the Cooking Up A Furnace match grant campaign added to the income generated from the screening of the silent film The Black Pirate (Accompanied by organist Lynne Long) slatted for September 21st, the Arts Council will erase most of the costs associated with the upgrades to the heating plant.

The Fall Main Street Ramble

The Fayette Chamber will sponsor a Main Street Fall Celebration on Saturday, October 5th, 2013. This one day event will celebrate the role that the automotive industry has played in the development of the Fayette community and of the nation itself. Like its predecessor, the Fayette Fall Fest, this years event will focus attention on the many businesses that call Fayettes Main Street, home The 2013 celebration is entitled the The Fall Main Street Ramble and will feature the works of one of this regions top Flat Head Eight restoration practitioners: Fayette native and Main Street landmark Hal Stambaugh, owner of Hals Garage. Hal not only rebuilds and repairs engines he has, in the past, restored numerous vintage cars. It was a vocation that has evolved over time into a passionate avocation and hobby. His devotion to repair and restoration has become for many an art-form. It has also attracted the attention and loyalty of many automotive buffs from throughout this region as well as nationally, His reputation as an expert in the rebuilding of Fords Flat head Eights has been hard earned and is well established. Stambaughs renovation of a vacant Gulf Service Station into Hals Garage transformed an abandoned property into a tourist attraction along U.S. 20. This unique 1940s vintage garage, complete with period signage, one-ofa-kind awnings and vehicle display area has also gained the attention and recognition of photographers and travelers from across the nation. Event organizers note that Fayette has a long, productive and robust association with the automotive industry in the United States. Fayette Manufacturing, built by Steve Sarnac in the 1940s was eventually purchased by TRW. Fayettes TRW plant manufactures braking systems for Ford Trucks. From 1960 through the late 1990s, Fayette Tubular Products was one of the leading automotive manufacturers of air conditioning units. FTP found its way to the Fayette community through the efforts of Fayette leadership and Fayette investment and grew into one of Fulton Countys largest employers by the mid 1970s. Hals Garage is a reminder of our past as well as an example of what might lie ahead for those who develop skills and products that serve targeted markets. said Tom Molitierno of the Fayette Area Chamber. In an era when major chains dominate the retail market place, locally owned and managed Main Street initiatives like Hals Garage stand out. The originators of the Fayette Fall Fest wanted to focus attention on our Main Street business community. By spotlighting Hals Garage, an acknowledgement of Main Streets link to the automotive manufacturing base is reinforced. Examples of Hal Stambaughs work as well of that of other recognized Classic Car Buffs will be on display on the Opera House Green and at various other venues around the Main Street Business District on Saturday, October 5th from 10:00 a.m. through 4:00 p.m. Food and entertainment will be available throughout the Main Street Area during the event. Details will be presented in upcoming press releases. For additional information about the event, contact: downtown business person Lucy Molitierno at 419-2372830.

TIME TO START TRAINING Kellen Keiser Memorial Run Is Coming Up

By: Storm Humbert THE VILLAGE REPORTER Its getting cold out, but nothing keeps the body warm like running a mile, or two, or twelve somewhere in there. The reason, besides getting healthier, in this case, is to give others the chance to get healthier. Yes, by taking some time and getting back in shape, you have the potential to make a difference in the health of others the health of those who cannot simply run to get better. The people offering this opportunity are those responsible for organizing the Kellen Keiser Memorial Run, and it will be here before you know it. Kellen Keiser, for those who dont know, was a student of Fayette Schools when he died of leukemia on September 26, 2010 after a 16 month fight. Kellen didnt let his condition stop him from being active in his school, church, and the community as a whole. He played sports when he could, but due to his health was only ever able to play one high school sport baseball while he was in remission. The idea for the Kellen Keiser Memorial Run came from a classmate of Kellens, Melanie Seiler. Several students involved with the Fayette United Methodist Church and other organizations in the community had walked in the Columbus Health Walk/Run 1/2 marathon and marathon in Kellens honor for two years after he passed. Melanie figured Fayette should have their own 1/2 marathon and thats precisely what they did. Last year, in November, 309 people participated in the first annual Kellen Keiser Memorial Run. This year, theyre hoping to get more than 500 runners and walkers. Why not run? Its good for you, its going to be cold so everyone may as well keep warm, and the proceeds go to Relay for Life of Fulton County as well as Friends 4 the Fields (a group raising money for a track and sports field at the new school). If you cant run, there are plenty of ways to support the fight against cancer, one of which is coming out on November 9 and supporting the event. So, get registered ahead of time, or come on out to the new Fayette School on November 9 and sign up the day of. Bring your running shoes, bring as many friends as you can, and have them bring their shoes and their friends and so on and so forth until there are just too many people. This is a great cause with the goal of furthering research to extend the lives of kids across the country and all over the world affected as Kellen was. The money raised by this event and ones like it goes toward research that could save anyones family member at any time. It affects everyone and there is no better reason to get involved than to save the lives of future children and remember those since past.

They will also be stationed at First Federal Bank in Wauseon most Fridays from 3-5 and some Saturdays from 8:30-11:45. The Boy Scout popcorn sales begin Saturday, September 21 and extend through October 31. Orders may be placed with Scouts with delivery in November. If you visit Pack 177 at the above mentioned cites, not only can you donate money towards popcorn for the troops, but you can also purchase your own popcorn cash and carry. Since 1983, Boy Scouts have been selling popcorn. Popcorn sales benefit boys by providing monies for special events and pack activities. Popcorn ranges from $10 to the $50 Ohio State tin. Cub Master Elise Marks hopes the Spare Change Popcorn for Troops instills the spirit of giving. I look at it as a double-good. Youre helping the boy scouts and the troops.

Leaf Collection To Begin September 30

Wauseon City Crews will begin leaf collection starting on Monday, September 30, 2013. Please note that there is no brush pickup during leaf pick-up season. When piling your leaves, please do not place them on top of brush as the City crews cannot pick up leaves that have been mixed with brush or other items. Please rake your leaves to the curb, but do not put them in the street because the leaves will plug up the storm sewers which can cause flooding. The city crews will pick up leaves twice in the north and south parts of town during leaf season. Leaves can also be dropped off anytime at the Public Works Garage. The leaves may be dumped in the compost pit along with flowers and garden waste. Please do not bring brush or shrubs. The compost pit is located on the back drive from Linfoot St. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Public Works Department at 419.335.8376.

CONTINUATION OF WAUSEON AREA NEWS

Safety Remains A High Priority For Wauseon City Council & Community
school for reimbursement. Council approved the recommendation to repeal Ordinance 1999-18. Regional Planning Director David Wright reported to council that he was approached by two property owners in the downtown area regarding possible funding and that he has been working with them to find out the scope of their projects. Wright has also been moving forward with Certified Local Government Designation for Wauseon. Wright has also been working on tax abatement applications for Dons Automotive Group and Northwestern Ohio Foam Packaging. Fire Chief Rick Sluder reminded council that Fire Safety Week is coming up in the second week of October and let council know that there will be activities planned during that week. There will also be a feather party on November 16, 2013. Police Chief Keith Torbet reported that the Citizens Police Academy has begun and that ten people have registered to participate. The Wauseon Police Department will also be assisting the Fire Department on their Fire Safety open house. Director of Public Service Dennis Richardson reported that he was asking for a motion for Continental Valuations. ODOT requires the city to hire a separate firm from their prequalified list to review the real estate appraisals that O.R. Colon is doing for the city. The total fee will be $8100 as there are 18-22 appraisals that will need reviewed and certified. Richardson also noted that the Public Works Department will begin working on the Airport sanitary sewer project in the next couple of weeks. Director of Finance Jamie Giguere reported that she was requesting that Resolution 2013-28 be placed on emergency since she had found out that in order to get the needed appraisals done this year that the they will need to contract the appraisal companies as soon as possible. If the city were to wait for all three readings, the appraisals would not be able to be done until next year. Giguere also reported that the city will soon be receiving a credit card processing until which will allow the city to be able to take credit card payments for water bill, income tax payments, and zoning permits. Director of Law Thomas McWatters III explained Resolution 2013-29 regarding the CO2 tank as well that Ordinance 2013-8 was revised to include the penalty provisions that were not originally included in the first reading. He also informed council that the city will soon be receiving the deed for the portion of the Rails to Trails bikeway. In legislative matters Resolution 2013-29 was passed under first reading on emergency as it was declared a real and present emergency arising in connection with the operation and maintenance of the Department of Public Service. The resolution authorized the purchase of equipment and services without bidding. Passing on second reading was Ordinance 2013-7, Ordinance 2013-8, and Resolution 2013-28. Ordinance 2013-7 amends the Codified Ordinances of the City of Wauseon to add Section 719, Sweepstakes Internet Cafe to Part Seven of the Business Regulation Code. Ordinance 2013-8 amends sections 505.17 and 957 of the Codified Ordinances of the City of Wauseon to amend penalty provisions for the park rules to a minor misdemeanor. Resolution 201328 authorizes the mayor to enter into an appraisal agreement with Industrial Appraisal Company for an appraisal of the Citys property. The resolution was passed on emergency. In new business council authorized the mayor or his designee to enter into an agreement with Continental Valuations for appraisal review services on the Linfoot Street project as previously described. Authorization was also granted for seasonal flu shots for any employee, council member, and the mayor who request a flu shot or flu mist with the cost being deducted from the personal benefits accounts of those participating. In a return to the topic of safety, Director of Law McWatters III explained that he had researched the liability of the city in regards to dead trees not on public property. The city has one particular tree that it would like to see come down as it poses a risk of falling onto Shoop Avenue. Despite the fact that the city would not be held as liable in the event of the tree falling and causing an accident, the safety issue remains a concern. After much discussion involving the 50 foot ash tree, which is approximately 3.5-4 foot in diameter, it was decided that the Tree Commission would make contact with the property owner to see if the owner would take down the tree. It is possible for the city to remove the tree without consent to prevent hazard to the public and to assess the property owners taxes for the costs. However, it is the decision of council to try to move forward with more amicable methods first. Chelsie Firestone can be reached at chelsie@thevillagereporter.com.

SAFETY CONCERNS ... Safety of pedestrians walking and jogging throughout the City of Wauseon, particularly along Burr Road, remains a concern for both council members and residents.

By: Chelsie Firestone THE VILLAGE REPORTER During their last regular meeting held on September 16, members of the Wauseon City Council were addressed by community member Vance Jacobs. Jacobs, who resides on Burr Road, noted several close calls regarding people walking or jogging along Burr Road and that he would like to see the city pass an ordinance that would require those walking or jogging to wear iridescent vests or shirts such as those worn by city employees while working along the streets. Jacobs explained that this would be for the pedestrians safety as it would help those driving see the pedestrians more quickly. Jacobs also noted that the near-misses over the last few weeks have been during daylight hours. Councilor Heather Kost acknowledged that foot traffic has increased along Burr Road and understood Jacobs concern. Council President Karen Krumm informed Jacobs that the matter would have to be forwarded to the Safety and Code Committee. Reporting to council during the meeting was both the Utilities Committee and the Personnel Committee. Council President Krumm reported for the Utilities Committee and informed council that the committee discussed the condition of the insulated storage tank for liquid carbon dioxide, which has become worn out and needs replaced, at the water plant. The cost of replacement will be $114,000

and the monies are available in the replacement fund. Because the delivery time is 14 weeks, the cost will become part of the 2014 budget. Councilor Matthews asked about any other costs associated with the project and was informed by Dennis Richardson that with all costs included the total cost will be approximately $120,000. Councilor President Krumm explained that the committee recommended proceeding with the purchase and waiving the bid process. The matter was addressed via resolution. Council President Krumm also reported the committee has received an update on the equipment that the city had bed on from the Village of Paulding. The City of Wauseon was the successful bidder and the equipment will be installed at the same time as the insulated storage tank. Councilor Kost reported for the Personnel Committee and notified council that the committee met to discuss an ordinance the city currently has in place that sets a maximum pay rate for crossing guards at $10.00/hour. There are currently five crossing guards and three of the five are currently at top pay, working for 2.25 hours a day. The committee recommended that the ordinance be repealed so that the crossing guards can be eligible for pay raises. Councilor Stiriz added that the school pays for half the wages for two crossing guards and all the pay for one of the crossing guards. Police Chief Torbet explained that the city pays the guards and then bills the

Pastors Thoughts
Pastor Doug King, Tedrow Mennonite Church A PSALM FOR THE JOURNEY
The journey of life can be a rough one at times. There are many kinds of trouble that we may face. Trouble can come in the form of natural disasters such as floods, tornadoes, forest fires, earthquakes and the like. Trouble can come from disease such as cancer, heart disease, strokes, mental illness and the like. Trouble can be in the form of accidents or from human conflicts. There is a world of trouble around us and it has been this way through history. So when the Psalmist states in Psalm 121, I lift up my eyes to the hills and asks, where does my help come from? It is in the face of the troubles that were there then and are here with us now. And the Psalmist answers the question immediately with, my help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth. With this Gods people are pointed in a direction different than where the nations and religions that surrounded them looked to for help. For in Palestine in Bible times the mountain tops were places of worship of all kinds of gods; gods of thunder, lightning, sun and more. This psalm is a declaration of trust in our Creator God. It is Eugene Peterson who points out that there are three assurances that ring out in response to trust in God here. First in verses 3 and 4 is the assurance of Gods 24-7 vigilance so that our foot might not slip. For ancient travelers this is important. Going long distances by foot was necessary. The danger for us might be different. Safety while traveling now involves avoiding accidents, not having money or credit cards stolen or maybe not loosing proper documents. God cares for us and is with us on our journey. The next assurance comes in verses 5 and 6. God is watching over us so that we are not made ill by the sun or moon. Then as now there are powerful natural forces that can overwhelm us. Yet God knows what we need so not to be overtaken by these forces. And the third assurance in verses 7 and 8 focuses on God keeping us from harm. A more literal translation states, The Lord will keep you from all evil. It is important not to pass over this thought too quickly. God is shielding us from evil. The disasters, diseases, accidents and conflicts that come our way will not separate us from our connection to God. This is God keeping us from harm. In fact Romans 8:39 tells us that nothing can separate us from the love of God. We can trust God. The challenge for us then is not to start hedging our trust in God by looking to other places to protect us as well. Government, political power, financial strategies, wisdom of pop culture can easily become a second line of trusting that can erode our trust in God, Creator of heaven and earth, Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord and the Holy Spirit, who dwells in our hearts. Trust in God. Troubles of all kinds can and do come into our lives but evil will not harm us as we trust in God.

Apple Butter Making Festival A Fall Favorite At Sauder Village

Apple Butter Making Week is a popular fall tradition at Sauder Village. From Wednesday, September 25 through Saturday, September 28 guests from throughout the region will gather at Sauder Village to celebrate this annual event with apple butter making, cider pressing, apple cooking demonstrations and many hands-on apple-themed activities. Produced in the fall as a way to preserve part of the apple crop, apple butter was historically a community project bringing families and neighbors together each fall. Again this year, guests of all ages will gather to celebrate this time-honored fall tradition at Sauder Village. The highlight of the week takes place in the 1910 Homestead where the delicious apple butter is made. Guests can enjoy apple schnitzing demonstrations in the homestead cellar and then watch as gallons of apple cider and bushels of the thinly sliced apples are simmered over an open fire and stirred until the mixture reduces to form the thick, sweet spread. Samples of the homemade apple butter will be available for guests to enjoy.

Surviving the winter was really a year round activity for our ancestors, shared Andi Erbskorn, Curator of Education. Crops were planted, food was harvested, meat was hunted and all was preserved with an eye towards the long winter months ahead. That is what our costumed staff focuses on in the fall, especially during our Apple Butter Making Week. Another way to preserve apples was to press them into cider. Throughout the week the historic wooden press will be put to use to make apple cider. There will be many other applerelated activities taking place as well. Guests can try packing apples in barrels for winter storage and watch apple cooking demonstrations in some of the historic homes. Guests can also enjoy a variety of delicious apple treats while visiting Sauder Village. There will be apple dumplings and apple pie for guests to purchase and the Sweet Shoppe will be selling caramel apples. On the final day of the event, Saturday, September 28, pie bakers young and old will have a

chance to show off their talents in the annual OldFashioned Pie Baking contest. Any traditional pie recipe with an oldfashioned flair can be entered and the winners will receive ribbons and prizes. Additional details and registration forms for the contest are available online. Historic Sauder Village is open Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 a.m.3:30 p.m., Saturday from 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. and each Sunday afternoon from noon-4:00 p.m. The Historic Village is closed on Mondays, except holidays.

Devotional Thought / Fellowship of Christian Athletes

Athletes have prepared in the off season to compete and be successful during the season. Do you know how to tell who worked hard and didnt work hard? Can you tell when a musician has practiced in between performances? Can you identify when a speaker, teacher, or pastor has studied and prepared? The answer to those questions is pretty simple. Yes, you can tell by the evidence of their performance. There is an interesting story found in the book of Mark, chapter 11. The next morning as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. He noticed a fig tree in full leaf a little way off, so he went over to see if he could find any figs. But there were only leaves because it was too early in the season for fruit. Then Jesus said to the tree, May no one ever eat your fruit again! And the disciples heard him say it. Sounds like someone is having a bad day? Of all the things the writers of the Bible could have recorded, they put this in the Bible? Im sure there were some pretty outstanding miracles that Jesus performed that we are unaware of that could have been recorded, so why record this story? Essentially, the tree was a picture of false advertising, in full leaf (having leaves), but no figs. Ordinarily, this is not the case with these fig trees, which normally do not have leaves without also having figs. The problem is that it had leaves but didnt have figs. The leaves said There are figs here, but the figs werent there. CNN Money reported this past July that the shoe company, Skechers had to pay back their customers, for deceiving with the false promise that its athletic shoes would magically tone their bodies. The Federal Trade Commission is mailing 509,175 refund checks to purchasers of Shape-ups and other so-called toning shoes from Skechers after the company agreed to pay a $40 million settlement. The FTC said that Skechers was paying the price for having deceptively advertised its toning shoes, including making unfounded claims that its Shape-ups shoes would help people lose weight, and strengthen and tone their legs and abdominal muscles. Have you ever been duped into buying something only to find that it was different than advertised? This is why Jesus was upset the tree claimed to have fruit but there was nothing! The tree is cursed for its deception of leaves, not for its lack of fruit. Jesus then entered the temple and saw that it had been turned into a marketplace of deception and profit, not a place of worship. This is when Jesus got upset and turned over the tables. It was a place of worship, but there was no spiritual fruit matter of fact it was rotten fruit. In these two stories, I believe we have a clear picture of Gods displeasure when we have the appearance of fruit, but not the fruit itself. God isnt pleased when His people are all leaves and no fruit. So the question we must ask, is there evidence of our faith? Are we cooperating with Gods Spirit to allow His work to be done in our life? If not, then maybe we arent connected to Jesus. John 15:5-8 says, Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. 6 Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned. 7 But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted! 8 When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father. Apart from Jesus, we wont grow, we wont produce fruit! For more reading, check out Galatians 5:22-23 and James 2:14-17

Winning The Battle For A Generation

ARE YOU WALKING THE TALK?
When I was a young believer there was a popular euphemism that I often heard repeated, dont just talk the walk, walk the talk, or in other words, practice what you preach. Doug Banister learned that truth the hard way. For years, Doug Banister, a Christian from Knoxville, Tennessee, had taken mission trips to Romania. God had moved powerfully on those trips, but Doug sensed a call to get more involved in the raw needs of his own community. So he became the head coach for a swim team started by a Christian urban youth ministry. It was there that he met a young boy named Martin. Martin was painfully thin for his age and kept shivering uncontrollably by the pool, even through a heat wave. Doug shares what happened next with Martin: A few weeks later, Martin squeezed in beside me on the bus ride to our first swim meet. He was a wiry, bouncy 10-year-old [who] could rarely sit still long enough to hear the workout set. Yet today he slumped down against the window and curled into a ball. Coach Doug, Martin asked, can I have my dinner now? I havent eaten in two days. A father of four, I know a con when I see one. No, buddy, I teased. You need to wait until after the meet like everyone else. The summer got even hotter, and Martin kept shivering. One evening, a social worker who knew Martin dropped by the pool. I asked her if she knew why Martin always shivered. She pulled me aside and whispered, Its because hes literally starving. The woman he lives with told a judge that she was starving the Devil out of him. Martin never stopped shivering that summer, but he did start swimming faster . Then Martin stopped showing up. Nobody at his house returned our calls, and Martin missed the rest of our meets. At our year-end swim banquet, we gave Martin the Most Improved Swimmer award. He wasnt there to receive it. A friend and I drove the award to his house after the banquet. After many knocks, a man answered the door. He wasnt happy to see us. We handed him Martins trophy and told him how well Martin swam. I dont know where he is, the man said. He shut the door. Dougs encounter with at-risk youth like Martin in his own community profoundly changed him. He confessed, I realized that I knew more about poverty in [Romania] than I knew about poverty in Knoxville. I was pursuing the common good of a city across the world while neglecting the common good of the place where I lived. The scriptures remind us in Psalm 41:1, Psalm 41:1 (NASB), How blessed is he who considers the helpless; The LORD will deliver him in a day of trouble.
