For most people, death

is the last thing on their
minds.
With
families
to
support, jobs to work,
and dreams to pursue, life
tends to distract one from
their own mortality and
the limited time it allows
them. Even for those
who come to accept the
realization that they are
going to die one day, they
can at least take solace in
not knowing when or how
their end will occur.
But not everyone has
that luxury.
There are a good
many people who are well
aware of when they will
leave this Earth. Heart
complications, strokes, ...

Kids have to be able to have fun

here.
And by here, Michelle Molargik
means school. Edon Elementary School,
to be exact. Not a bad mentality for the
new principal of said school to have. Not
all people share that opinion, however.
I hear parents talk about how
much they hated school all the time.
Molargik admitted, before confessing,
Id probably still be in school if my
husband would let me.
That would be Joe Molargik, who
serves as the Assistant Division Fire
Chief of Auburn. Having met at the
Auburn YMCA when Michelle was still
in high school, the couple has been
married for 15 years as of last January.
As for schooling, Michelles path to
educational administrator had a few
twists and turns.
I took a little detour.
Indeed, Molargiks original plan was
to become an accountant, doing her
coursework at IPFW. This wasnt her
calling, however, and she was destined
to continue her education. Not until
years later, when her son, Cade, turned
three years old, did she consider going
back to school. Watching him brought
about a revelation for Molargik.
I discovered I have a love for
children.
That love drove Molargik to return
to IPFW, where she earned a Bachelors
Degree in Education. She went on
to continue her academic career by
obtaining her Masters Degree from Ball
State University.
From there, Molargik, an Angola
native, began her work as an educator
at Dekalb Middle School, where
she taught second and fifth grade.
She then advanced to the role of
Associate Principal. After a few years,
she felt it was time to seek out a full
principals position. This search led
her to Edon Northwest Schools, where
Superintendent Ed Ewers and the Edon
Board of Education hired her, a decision
for which Molargik is thankful..
What made Edon stand out?
Edon has a great reputation.
Molargik claimed. I want to continue
that.
Also citing philosophical similarities,
Edon felt like a good fit for Molargik.
That philosophy revolves around
putting students first.
You have to be here for students,
Molargik advised, to make sure their
needs are met and that they can grow.
How
educators
go
about
accomplishing such lofty, yet noble
goals has changed over the years, as
Molargik can attest.
Their brains are wired differently.
With changes in technology and the
invention of social media, the modern
child has become more hands on, more
active in receiving information. Simply
sitting down and getting lectured from a
text book for an hour at a time has been
rendered an ineffective teaching style in
todays classrooms.
Schools have therefore sought out
new and creative tactics to educate their
students. One of said tactics employed
by Edon is a concept known as minilessons. Molargik explains.

NEW ELEMENTARY PRINCIPAL ...

Freshly minted Principal of Edon
Elemetary School Michelle Molargik
stands in the halls of her new school.
They have different opportunities to

learn, based on learning style.
This
educational
diversity
is
achieved in 15 minute intervals, with
students rotating to different portions
of the classroom after each one. Each
center, as Molargik refers to them, is
focused on a different teaching method
reinforcing the same lessons and skills.
The idea is that at least one of these
centers will reach out to each child,
thus ensuring they understand what
theyre being taught.
Such
understanding
shouldnt
be limited to just students, though.
Molargik would like to get the
community more involved in the goings
on of the school. In particular, making
parents more aware of what goes on in
their childs classes.
I think its important that they have
an understanding of what happens
within these walls. Molargik said of
parents.
What happens within those walls is
always changing, adding to the challenge
of reaching young minds. The State of
Ohio uses the Common Core Standards
to teach and evaluate its students.
Common Core is a controversial issue,
as its largely unpopular with educators
and parents alike. Yet Molargik has a
different viewpoint on the Standards.
Its important to know students
have the same learning standards.
With an background rooted solely
in Indiana, where no across-the-board
standards exist, seeing the state regard
all students equally is a refreshing
change.
Thats a secondary concern, however,
as educating and inspiring students
takes first priority for Molargik.
I want to be able to grow that
appetite to learn.
Which Molargik and her staff should
have no problem doing. Because few
things make kids hungrier than fun.

to accept $4.3 million from the State
for the classroom facility project. The
Resolution Petitioning the OSFC to
Approve Transfer of Money also passed
unanimously, moving $500,000 from

construction and improvements, was
approved without issue as well. This will
transfer between $1.8-$1.9 million from
the Permanent Improvement Fund to
the schools portion of the construction
project.
Contract extensions were awarded
to Elementary Principal Paul Jones
and
Junior
High/High
School
Principal Tim Rettig by the board. Both
administrators were in the last year of
their deal and both were given a three
year extension on their respective deals.
Superintendent Boyer praised both men
for the improvements theyve made to
the school during their tenure.
Theyve been a real asset to our
school. Boyer proclaimed.
Jones himself stood before the board
as he gave his report.
According to Jones, Kindergarten
enrollment stands at 32 kids. 18 children
are participating in Pre-Kindergarten.
Also, the tactic of co-teaching will be
re-utilized in North Central Elementary
during the 2014-15 school year. In fact,
Sharon Deetz has been moved to the
role of full-time member of the React
to Intervention Program and progress
monitoring.
Jones let the board know that funding
for the 21st Century after-school
program had been cut by the state
government. This program supports the
creation of community learning centers
that provide academic enrichment
opportunities during non-school hours
for children. The state was providing a
grant for said program, but out of 160
applicants in Ohio, only 50-60 schools
received funding,none of which were in
Williams County.
The program may not be totally
dead, however, as Jones brought the
possibility of independently opening a
similar after-school plan.
We do have knowledge on how to
run the program.
Jones also noted that, without state
funding, the school would be able to set
its own standards.
Tim Rettig, principal of the high

school, submitted his report to the
board as well. Roughly 75% of North
Centrals junior high and high school
students received laptops at the schools
open house. This marked the highest
attendance rate for the schools open
house in recent memory.
The board was also reminded by
Rettig of a new teacher starting at the
school. Katy Savage, who taught at
Wauseon Schools, will begin teaching
math at North Central this school year.
The following employments were
met with board approval. Kendra Ely
was made Special Education Instructor
and Third Grade Co-Teacher with a
one-year contract. Laura Haas became
an AM Pre-Kindergarten Educational
Aide. And a couple of volunteers were
given positions as well, with Jace Neal
accepting an Assistant Golf Coach
Position and John Waterston doing the
same for an Assistant Boys Basketball
Coach position.
Finally, the board
awarded a one year supplemental
contract to Nicle Geiser as a Summer
Intervention Instructor, as needed.
Homer Hendricks, board member,
was selected as the OSBA Annual
Business Meeting delegate.
Board President Craig McKarns, who
has attended previous OSBA Meetings,
volunteered to serve as Hendrickss
alternate.
In a bit of house cleaning, so to
speak, the board approved the disposal
of some obsolete equipment. They also
set an agreement with the Wood County
Juvenile Detention Center. As needed,
the school will be able to use the facilitys
service at $64 per day.
The board concluded the meeting
by entering into Executive Session in
order to discuss discipline and possible
termination of an employee. No action
was taken.
The boards next regular meeting will
take place on Tuesday, September 16.

Holiday City Council Discussed

Problematic Language In Ordiance
By: Chelsie Firestone
Members of the Holiday City Village Council

convened for their regular
meeting at 7:00 PM on August 21 with all members
present. Immediately following the recitation of
the Pledge of Allegiance,
council opened discussion
asking for clarification on
the language of Ordinance
2014-3, which approves
the State to resurface a
portion of State Route 15.
The ordinance states that
the Village agrees to pay
for the maintenance of the
road under the Villages
jurisdiction.
The use of the word jurisdiction is causing some
confusion because, while
the Village has jurisdiction
over the area the road goes
through in every other way,
they do not have jurisdiction over the road in terms
of maintenance, change of
speed limits, or other matters generally controlled by
the State. Legal Counsel
David Zoll of Zoll, Kranz,
and Borgess explained
that he believes that this
is the jurisdiction that is
being referred to and that
the Village would have no
obligations to pay for any
portion of the work done
by the state. He did agree,
however, that the use of
the word jurisdiction is
problematic and will be
checking into the language

PHOTO BY CHELSIE FIRESTONE, STAFF
CLOCK ... It is hoped that the clock on the Holiday City

Village Hall building will soon be reading the correct time.
prior to the next meeting.

Other legislative matters brought before council included Ordinance
2014-1B and Resolution
R-2014-8.
Ordinance
2014-1B is a revisal of Annual Appropriations necessary due to a change in
electric rates, which had
been higher than anticipated at the beginning of
the year due to the inclement weather of the past
winter. It was noted that
the electric rates are coming back down and the ordinance was passed under
emergency language. Resolution R-2014-8 certifies
the amounts and rates to
the county auditor. Passing of the resolution is a
standard
housekeeping
measure.
In his report to council,
Village Administrator Gary
Baker informed council

that
~the siren has been repaired and is now working;
~Baker had a meeting
at the County Building
on the ALERT86 security
system. As of the meeting
date, the system had not
been fully activated but
should be very soon;
~Baker has contacted
the clock company about
repairs or replacement
and that they will be arriving soon to do the necessary repairs.
Council also approved
Mayor Shawn Clark permission to attend the Mayors meetings and to pay
relevant dues again this
year.

Ohios New Conservation Program To

Improve Lake Erie Water Quality
Area
farmers
and
landowners are encouraged
to participate in a new
conservation program that
will help to improve water
quality in Lake Erie and
5,000 miles of streams by
reducing nutrient runoff.
Authorized by Senate Bill
150 that was signed into law
by Governor John R. Kasich,
the Lake Erie Nutrient
Reduction Program (LE
NRP) will assist farmers in
installing best management
practices
that
keep
nutrients on fields, improve
water quality and combat
harmful algal blooms. The
program will be supervised
locally by the Williams Soil
and Water Conservation
District. Working with the
Ohio Department of Natural
Resources (ODNR) through
the Ohio Clean Lakes
Initiative, $1.25 million will
be available to producers
in
27
Ohio
counties.
ODNR has already helped
farmers implement best
management practices on
more than 40,000 acres in
the Lake Erie watershed.
Farmers have shown
us theyre serious about
improving Lake Erie, said
ODNR
Director
James
Zehringer. ODNR is pleased
to partner with Ohios local
soil and water conservation
districts
to
get
more
practices installed as soon
as possible.
We all have a part to play
to improve water quality in
Lake Erie, said Williams
SWCD Administrator Chris
Dancer. Our district is
excited to use our existing
relationships with Ohios
farmers to improve the
health of one of our states
greatest natural resources.
The LE NRP is a
voluntary program that
reimburses
farmers
to
plant cover crops or install
drainage
management
devices such as controlled
drainage structures or blind
tile inlets. In addition to
reducing runoff of nutrients
and pesticides the practices
will allow farmers to manage
and maintain the water from
their fields after harvest and
during the growing season,
ultimately
enhancing
production.
Cropland
enrolled must be approved
by local SWCD technical
staff and ODNR Division of
Soil and Water Resources
area engineers.
Counties
included
in the new program are:
Allen, Ashland, Auglaize,
Crawford, Defiance, Erie,
Fulton, Hancock, Hardin,
Henry,
Huron,
Lucas,
Lorain, Marion, Medina,
Mercer, Ottawa, Paulding,
Putnam,
Richland,
Sandusky, Seneca, Shelby,
Van Wert, Williams, Wood
and
Wyandot.
Starting
immediately, landowners in
these counties can sign up
for the program.
ODNR has committed
$1.25 million to the program
and anticipates planting
cover crops on up to 25,000
acres as well as installing
more than 300 structures.
This funding is in addition
to the $3.5 million already
appropriated through the
Ohio Clean Lakes initiative

for
best
management
practices and water quality
monitoring.
Farmers
and
others

In Village Of Montpelier
The Village of Montpelier (Williams

County) will receive a grant to separate
the sanitary and storm sewers in the area
of East Court Street and East Avenue.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Dear Editor:
I recently had the privilege if
attending the Montpelier Bean Days
Festival as a vendor. I would like to take
this opportunity to thank some of the
folks who helped me with the project.
I have to start with Jeanette Hull, or
should I say, where do I start? Jeanette
is truly an amazing person. From the
day I came into contact with her, I
have noted her tireless efforts. Jeanette
worked with me to secure a place for my
cart, store my product, and even offered
lodging options. While in Montpelier, I
observed Jeanette being pulled in many
different directions as things came
together. She calmly handled every
question, problem, or concern with
professionalism. Montpelier, you are so
very lucky to have a person like Jeanette
volunteering to better your community!
I would also like to thank the Eagles
Aerie for their assistance. As my
commissary is located about 80 miles
from Montpelier, I needed a temporary
.FR
place for cold storage of my product and

dish washing facilities. Jeanette worked
with staff member Theresa Maybee and
President Dave Rediger of the Aerie to
make it happen. As an Eagle member,
I can proudly appreciate the fellowship,
camaraderie, and spirit of helpfulness
exhibited by the President, his staff, and
his membership.
Finally, I would like to thank the
fine people of Montpelier and Williams
County for your support. As a relatively
new vendor, I had reservations about
venturing away from my home turf.
Some cities and villages are not vendor
friendly. I found everyone I encountered
to be cheerful, friendly, and helpful.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time in
Montpelier and I was made to feel very
welcome. I look forward to returning to
your wonderful village in the future!
Respectfully,
C.G. Al Alvord

for allowing their ladder

at
the Veterans Memorial
Building. Also receiving
thanks during the meeting
was an unnamed person
or entity who removed the
couch from the roadway
on East Main Street. The
couch had been sitting
at the location since the
Bean Days/Balloon Fest.
Laura Gray expressed her
gratitude.
During the meeting,
the Main Street Park
committee recommended
that Trick or Treat be held
on Saturday, October 25
from 6:00 PM until 7:00
PM. The recommendation
was
unanimously
approved. Also approved
was a motion rezone the
property between the
Montpelier Street Barn
and First Federal Bank,
the location where Family
Dollar will be moving, to
C-2 Full Commercial.
Lucas also presented
a change order to council
for the storage of the
transformer needed for
the Airport Substation
Expansion Project. The
cost for the storage is
$8000.01. Kurt Roan
explained
that
the
contractors were delayed
on their start dates so the
transformer and switch
gear pads are not quite
ready.
The concrete
pads are being poured
and will be complete
soon. The Village needs
to keep the transformer
with the company due
to liability issues and
needing to use a crane
in order to move it to a
new pad. The transformer
was ready more quickly
than anticipated. Original
quotes were for one year
but it has only been nine
months. A motion to
approve the storage costs
for the Airport Substation
Transformer
by
SPX
Transformer
Solution
was
subsequently
unanimously approved.
A second change order
was also presented for
the transportation and
storage of Switchgear
necessary for the Airport
Substation
Expansion
Project. An inquiry was
made as to is storing the
equipment and Lucas
advised
council
that
the trucking company
is currently storing the
items. The storage for
the equipment is also
a timing issue with a
crane being needed for
removal and to place it
on the new concrete pad.

Hephner
also
explained that she was
authorized by Council
in 2001 to take the left
over private funds raised
by the community for
the
Sesquicentennial
Celebration and move
them to the General
Fund. Hephner expressed
her belief that the funds
should be moved to the
501(c)3 and earmarked
for the next landmark
celebration for the Village.
By moving the money, a
total of $1429.96, there
will be a record of the
amount, interest will be
able to be earned, and
Council will know what
the money can be used
for. The recommendation
to transfer the funds as
described was approved
by Council.
Hephner also reported
that income tax collection
for July 2014 were up
from both 2013 and 2012.
Lucas also noted two

begin the week of September 15th. The

and after school programs. Story times

through 6, will be held on Tuesdays from

PREPPED AND READY FOR THE YEAR ... The Millcreek-West Unity Board of
Education met in the Hilltop School Library for their August Regular Meeting.
By T.J. Hug
Amidst the joyful cacophony of parents
and children walking the hallowed halls
of the building, the Millcreek-West Unity
Board of Education convened in regular
session at Hilltop School.
Grilling out on the front lawn, Hilltop
hosted its open house on August 18, an
earmark of the academic season which
began two days later. Relocating to the
schools library on the second floor, the
Millcreek-West Unity Board of Education
met for its August Meeting without
distraction. The recurring theme of the
evening was preparation of the building
and staff for the school year.
At this stage of the game, were just
moving forward. Superintendent Larry
Long explained to the board.
Theyd actually been moving forward
since August 4, when teachers began
to come in and prepare for the arrival
of their students. Persistently, the
educators continued to come in on a
daily basis.
Al Wheeler, the schools Maintenance
Transportation Manager, updated the
board on renovations to the building
that took place over the summer. Not
before humbly passing off the credit in
favor of his staff, though.
It wasnt me. Wheeler said. I
feel the crew did very well getting the
building ready.
And that was no easy task, either.
The parking lot was painted and
cracks were filled, as the harsh winter
had created more fissures on the asphalt
than usual. This issue had become so
severe that not all cracks were able to
be filled, leaving more work to be done
next summer.
Inside the building,
new lighting was installed in the
gymnasium, replacing 58 lights. Those
lights will eventually be sold, according
to Wheeler. A new garage door was put
up as well, donated to the Ag Shop by
A.J. Door LLC. Plastic strips were used
in an attempt to correct problems with
the old door, but they were ineffective.
Elementary Principal Laura Springer
also addressed the board for her
regular report. Hilltops enrollment from
Preschool to sixth grade is 310 for the
current school year. Students in the
third grade or younger will be taking
the DIBELS and STAR tests in midSeptember. These tests will evaluate
their reading levels, allowing the school
to place struggling children on a reading
improvement plan, or R.I.M.P., for
short. A R.I.M.P. is tailored to the needs
of individual students.
Unable to attend the meeting,
Principal Steven Ridleys report was
reviewed in written form. Of note, Ridley
plans to have all seventh grade students
take a Math Applications course, which
will work alongside the schools seventh

grade Integrated Math course. The new
course will be alternated daily with a
Digital Communications class every
other day. Its Ridleys hope that this
plan will lead to more eighth graders
registering for Algebra I.
A contract between the village of West
Unity and the board, which renewed the
School Resource Officer, was finalized at
the meeting as well. $17,000 from the
General Fund will be temporarily used
to fund the position. Proceeds from
a recently approved safety level will
replace the funds once available.
Another contract, this one involving
the board and the Millcreek-West
Unity Education Association, was also
approved. This agreement with the
teachers union will last three years,
taking effect on July 1, 2014 and lasting
until June 30, 2017. In year three of
the deal, negotiations on salaries may
be reopened.
A second reading of the updated
NEOLA policies, which govern the way
in which school boards operate, was
completed by the board. The changes to
the policy are negligible, however.
Theres nothing too significant.
Board President Sarah Carothers
informed. Its mainly just catch up
work.
The board approved an agreement
with the Wood County Juvenile
Detention Center for the coming school
year. If its services are needed, the
institution will be paid $64 per child for
the first two days, and $45 per child for
the third.
Payment
to
Northwest
State
Community College was agreed upon by
the board, in the amount of $14,995.50.
This cost is to cover the 2013-14 PESO
tuition. The school had previously
received $17,264 from Northwest State
in order to offset the cost.
Ken Brown and Tony Gerig were
appointed
Co-Assistant
Athletic
Directors by the board. Shannon Swartz
was approved as a substitute teacher,
while Desiree Arps was approved as an
Assistant Track Coach. Nancy Miller
was hired into the school as well, taking
on the duties of Musical Choir Pianist
and Assistant Musical Director.
A Donation from Parkview Physicians
Group for $890 was also accepted by
the board.
With no other issues pertinent to
the board, Carothers adjourned the
meeting. They will next meet in regular
session on Monday, September 15 at
6:00 P.M. in the Band Room. At 5:45
P.M., just prior to the meeting, both the
board and the community will have the
opportunity to meet Hilltops new staff.
through the second grade will meet for

after school programs on Thursdays
from 3:00 to 4:00 pm. Grades three
through six will meet on Tuesdays from
3:00 to 4:00 pm.

FA
Business As Usual For The Fayette Village Council
Mr.
Scott
Wagner
brought the meeting to
order at 6:00PM. Those
in
attendance
were:
Mayor
Ruth
Marlatt,
Mr. Mat Johnson, Mr.
Dave Wheeler, Mr. Scott
Wagner,
Mr.
Rodney
Kessler, and Mrs. Linda
Short. Mr. Dave Borer was
absent for his role. Also
attending were Village
Administrator
Steven
Blue, Village Fiscal Officer
Karin Sauerlender, and
Police Chief Jason Simon.
The
Agenda
was
approved as written. Mr.
David Green of the State
Line Observer represented
the Press.
Visitors present were
Mr. and Mrs. Kramer
and TRW representative
Doug Cox. Mr. and Mrs.
Kramer came to speak
against giving TRW a
zoning variance. They
feel that TRW has already
been a bad neighbor with
excessive noise and trash.
They also feel that TRW
has not been responsive to
any complaints that they
have made. Administrator
Blue suggested that they
come to the zoning board
meeting on August 25 to
make their comments.
He gave the Kramers a
copy of the plan for the
proposed addition.
Mayor Marlatt passed
out an article from the
Toledo Blade regarding
the shift of property
taxes from business to
homeowners.
The TRW expansion
means there will now be
a large roof where before
there was a grass field,
which means that storm
drainage
becomes
an
issue. The closest catch
basins are at the north
end of Cherry Street and
at the corner of Gross and
Gorham. The drainage
wont currently be able
to get to either basin. The
drainage along Industrial
Parkway is an open ditch
that travels west to a
country tile. TRWs plans
do include a plan for water
retention in the truck dock
during heavy rains that
would allow for gradual
release of the water at a
level not much more than
we handle currently. This
would be enough to cover
a 25-year rain event. We
need to extend the existing
storm drain from Gross
Street approximately 700
feet north along Gorham
to their building. This is
the most feasible/cost
effective plan.
There are three options
for financing:
1. Include in the
new sewer separation
project which is currently
financed 75% grant and
25% loan. Gleason gave a
tentative price of $30,000
for this project.
2. Share the cost with
TRW. It would probably
cost less in total to do
this (about half) but our
share would still be about
$7,500. There would be
no grant funding available
under this option.
3. Require TRW to pay
the full cost, similar to
when you want electricity.
However, they will be
adding jobs with the
expansion, paying more
taxes, etc.
Mr. Cox indicated that
the project is already on
a tight budget, but they
would be able to do a cost
sharing
arrangement.
TRW will be adding 4-5
manufacturing cells with
20-25 added jobs. If they
cannot expand here, they
may need to move the
entire plant elsewhere. Mr.
Cox will get a cost estimate
from the contractor to give
to Administrator Blue.
TRW has already paid a
zoning application fee of
$3,550.00, which is half
of our cost right there.

Deadline for Registration: Sept. 1, 2014
We have received the

first payment request for
about 2/3 of the total
contract price for the
resurfacing of Bergman
Street. We will still owe
them the balance plus
there is a retainage in
this bill. They are aware
that there are a number
of things that they need
to fix. Administrator Blue
walked every inch of berm
and made a detailed list of
everything that needs to
be fixed.
Gleason
is
99%
finished.
Mr.
Wagner
suggested that the village
pursue
the
penalty
for failure to complete
the project on time.
Everything on the original
punch list was completed
by July 31. There is one
more item, a hole that
needs to be filled, but that
is more of a warranty item
than a punch list item and
therefore is not subject to
deadline. We also added
an item to the original
punch list - Boesgrs
want
their
sidewalk
fixed. Administrator Blue
informed the council that
Gleason
has
actually
given the village a lot
of breaks, such as not
charging for down time
when the taps were not
located in a timely fashion.
Mr.
Johnson
claimed
that the alley behind the
grocery store was not
what they promised and
he would like to see it
fixed. Administrator Blue
reported that, although
it isnt pretty, it does
what we wanted it to do.
Mr. Wagner countered
that they said it would
be all one pour with no
need for the crack seal.
That is not what we got.
Maple Street is also as
bad as it was before they
fixed it. Administrator
Blue will pursue the Alley
and Maple Street with
Gleason.
There was a police
report filed when they hit a
building with a skid steer,
but there wasnt a great
deal of damage, just a
gouge on one brick. If there
are things that are still
not right, we can require
that they come back and
fix them, but that is not
the same as charging a
penalty because they are
not done.
Tax
Assessments:
Administrator
Blue
passed out three lists:
1:
Properties
to
be
assessed
now
($13,871.38).
2. Landlords to which
we can write letters first
and assess if they do not
pay ($10,133.81)
3.
Properties
to
which have been sold
and therefore cannot be
assessed. These accounts
may need to be written off.
($5,273.37). We may be
able to go to small claims,

but it will cost $50 per
account and is still up to
us to collect, even if we get
a judgement.
Once the accounts
have been assessed, they
are considered current
and the water must be
turned back on.
Public
Works
has
been working on a shutoff policy, so that the
delinquent bills do not get
high. When an account is
31 days delinquent, they
will receive a door hanger
with 48 hours to pay. If
they have reneged on a
payment arrangement in
the past, they cannot get
another one. There are
also guidelines on what
those arrangements can
be. We will need to get
more of the new meters
before we can consider
moving to monthly billing.
Mayor Marlatt suggested
that we also need to look
at what is going to cost for
reading, preparing bills
and postage. It takes a full
day to stuff the envelopes,
but we cant go back to the
cards because of privacy
laws.
Water
Plant
Brine
Wells: The brine wells is
what used to treat the
water for hardness. The
media in these wells needs
to be replaced. Artesian
wants $1400 for the media
stone.
Administrator
Blue is looking into the
possibility that we would
buy cheaper stone and
wash it ourselves.
Road Salt Bid: Every
year we participate in the
county program for salt.
The county received only
one bid for salt, which
came in at $95/ton,
compared to $62/ton last
year. Administrator Blue
has a meeting with the
county to decide what they
are going to do - accept or
reject the bid. We have 40
tons in our barns at this
point. Even though it was
a bad winter last year,
we didnt use more salt
because much of the time
it was too cold for the salt
to be effective.
Tax
Refund:
VFO
Sauerlender reported that
when she started working
in Fayette, she found
that an employee had
been overpaid in 2012.
The employee had repaid
the amount deposited
in her account, but did
not reimburse the village
for the deductions. The
taxes and the pension
amounts had been paid
to the various agencies,
along with all the required
match amounts. VFO
Sauerlender has filed for
and received the refund
from our Village for $8.10,
from the IRS for $19.13,
and from the school
district ($5.63 and $4.61
respectively). The sense
of the council was that it

was not worth the time to
apply for refunds of these
amounts.
Walter Drane: We have
a cost estimate for Walter
Drane Co. to update our
codified
Ordinances.
Although we have a few
ordinances to be included,
the biggest part of the
cost is the number of
changes in the Traffic
and Criminal codes at the
state level. It doesnt really
save any money to put it
off, it will just cost more
when you do it. We need
to have those up to date
if we want to be able to
prosecute people in court.
We cannot just adopt the
state code for everything
because we determine the
fines and it makes a big
difference for things like
overweight penalties. We
also want to make our
own ordinances for things
like keeping of chickens.
Some judges will not
enforce out ordinances
if they are not codified.
Put a motion of the next
council agenda to spend
approximately $3400 to
codify the ordinances.
Kessler
Tank:
The
company came and did the
cleaning and inspection of
our elevated water tank.
It did not have wax and
therefore we did not need
to spend the extra money
that had been requested
from council. They did give
us a bid for painting both
the interior and exterior
at a cost of $26,000 and
$29,000
respectively.
They did not give any
indication of how badly
it needed to be repainted.
The cleaning process went
pretty well as we only had
one service line break.
Miscellaneous:
VFO
Sauerlender reported that
all the adjustments have
been made to the 2013
annual
report.
There
were a total of 105 line
item adjustments that
needed to be made. The
report is now balanced.
Mr. Wagner asked if the
Park Board was going to
meet. He is concerned
about the quality of the
sand that was put in the
new
Volleyball
court.
Its a washed sand, but
it is not the white, fluffy
sand they were expecting.
Mr. Wheeler asked if
our sidewalk ordinance
prohibited putting wire in
the sidewalk. Chief Simon
responded that you dont
want wire in it if it would
need to be removed. If
they use fiber, they dont
need wire.
Adjournment: Motion
by Mr. Johnson second
by Mr. Kessler to Adjourn.
Motion carried 5 yeas, 0
nays. Meeting adjourned
at 7:41PM.

WHS French Club Gives To

WHS Graduate Missionaries
Wauseon City Council Appoints Martin Estrada

To Fill Unexpired Term Of Don Mathews
PHOTO PROVIDED
A GENEROUS BUNCH ... Members of the WHS French Club who generously
donated funds to former Wauseon students who are doing mission work.
By: Tammy Allison
French may be a thing of the past at
Wauseon High School, but the legacy of
the French Club will live on through the
generous gift of its members. Last year,
the remaining members of the French
Club chose to disburse the clubs
remaining funds to benefit WHS alumni
and former French Club members. Kim
Hackett, former French teacher, had
many French students over the years
before the school made the decision
to no longer offer French as a foreign
language elective. Mrs. Hackett retired
at the end of the 2013 school year, but
returned to teach French 3 and 4 this
past school year.
Her students enrolled in French
III and IV who had previously been
members of the French Club were
given the opportunity to decide how
the remaining funds from the French
Club would be allocated. The French
Club students had always raised club
funds through their annual fundraiser
of flower sales at Valentines Day. In
the past, monies earned from the flower
sales were always dedicated to St. Judes
Childrens Hospital.
Deciding that St. Judes Childrens
Hospital already has a strong recognition
through its national network of fundraising activities; the students opted to
go another direction with the remaining
funds. They decided to support two
fellow Wauseon High School student
graduates, both of whom were active
in French. They chose to make equal
contributions to both Matt Sauder and
Ashley Freytag. Both of these students
took 4 years of French in high school,
studied French in college, and have
traveled to France. They also have both
chosen to pursue missionary work and
have stayed in contact with their former
French teacher.
As missionaries, both Ashley Freytag
and Matt Sauder are required to raise
their support for their missionary work
in the field. Ashley has been serving
as a missionary in Southwest Mali in
West Africa where she is learning the

Yalunka language and culture and
reaching out to the Yalunka people to
teach them about Gods love. She is
a member of Crossroads Evangelical
Church in Wauseon. Ashley has a blog
she invites you to follow on her journey:
http://belovedcomeawaywithme.
wordpress.com/. If you are interested in
supporting Ashleys missionary journey,
you can send contributions to FEC
International Ministries, 1420 Kerrway
Court, Fort Wayne, Indiana 46805,
funds designated to Ashley Freytag.
Matt Sauder and his wife Christine
have been appointed to serve in the
Philippines. Matt will be the English
pastor of the Butuan City Free Methodist
Church. Matt currently works with
International Child Care Ministries, as
well as pastors in Indianapolis while
Christine is a teacher. Both Matt and
Christine have a desire to love God
and to love people. The Sauder family
considers Indianapolis First Free
Methodist Church as their home church.
They have a young daughter named
Chloe. Their anticipated departure date
for the Philippines is fall 2014. You can
follow their blog at http://sauderfamily.
com/ which includes a link to donate to
their cause.
Graduating senior Sarah Mull
explains, We really wanted to disperse
the donation in a way that we knew
would be going towards a good cause.
Once Madame Hackett told us about
Matt Sauder and Ashley Freytag and
everything they have accomplished so
far, we knew with the donation going to
these two people that it would help to
continue their great work in making a
difference in the lives of others.
The French Club students involved
in this decision include (grade level
last school year): Juniors Taylor
Vernot, Ashlyn Boyers, Eli Becker, and
Seniors: Megan Beck, Reynaldo Lopez,
Derrick Kamp, Justin Mourguet, Marin
Schaffner, Cassidy Wells, Sarah Mull,
and Kate Herring.

CITIZENSHIP Prior to moving into Executive Session, members of Den 3, Pack 8

were given the opportunity to chat with Council and ask questions about citizenship
and local government. Working on their Citizenship Badge were, from left, (front)
Brendan Morgan, Collin Twigg, (back) Dawson Goodman, Jordan Schmidt, Kane
Panico, Joshua Freestone, and Jacob Spiess. The boys were accompanied to the
meeting by Den Leader Ken Panico and Committee Member Dana Schmidt.
The August 18 meeting of the Wauseon

City Council was called to order by Mayor
Doug Shaw at 5:00 PM with Councilors
Heather Kost, Kathy Huner, Shane
Chamberlin, Jeff Stiritz, and Rick Frey in
attendance. Mayor Shaw welcomed to the
meeting Weblos 1, Den 3, Pack 8 to the
meeting and asked that they lead those in
attendance in the recitation of the Pledge
of Allegiance.
Immediately following the Pledge of
Allegiance and a moment of Silence, Mayor
Shaw expressed his condolences and
offered prayers to the family of Councilor
Don Mathews who had recently passed
away after an extended illness. Mathews
had been a council member for some years
and worked diligently to provide positive
representation of Wauseon and to help the
city grow. His presence both on Council
and throughout the City of Wauseon will
be sorely missed.
Towards the end of the meeting Council
approved the protocol to fill the vacancy
left by Mathews. Council reviewed the
prior list of applications submitted in
connection with the filling of the unexpired
term of Fred Allen and re-interviewed
those applicants that they had determined
to be most fitting. The interviews were
conducted during executive session at the
end of the meeting and council returned
to open session with the unanimous
decision to appoint Martin Estrada for
the unexpired term of Don Mathews to
December 31, 2014.
Estrada is the owner of Downtown
Billiards and earned his Bachelors
Degree in Business Management from
Bowling Green State University. He brings
to the position five years experience in
management with the United Parcel
Service as well as six years of sales training
in commercial insurance.

board due to new job responsibilities. Dave
Murry had also been on hand at the last
Park Board meeting to update the Board
on the new gazebo at Biddle Park. The
Park Board also approved the proposal for
trees to be planted at Homecoming Park as
requested by the Tree Commission before
they apply for a Revolving Loan Fund
Grant. The subsequent recommendation
was approved by council.
Chamberlin also explained that the
Park Board members were informed that
Council has tabled the pool location until
Council can survey the public. Some
discussion was had as to whether the pool
committee or Council should be responsible
for the surveys with the conclusion being
made that, due to Council tabling the
matter until such surveys were complete,
that Council should be the entity to take
action. Director of Finance Jamie Giguere
noted that surveys could be included
with the September water bills. Further
action can be taken after the surveys are
returned.

in the fund was more than sufficient to
cover the grant as well as other projects

that the State does not look differently
upon Council giving grants versus loans
and that the State is primarily concerned

still be a Junior Fair supporter.
Contributors to the fund will be
publicized as a supporter of the Dairy
Project Bid Fund Buyers. Any amount of
financial support is greatly appreciated
for the Junior Fair youth. Contributions
may be made by August 29th to Williams

Butterflies Carry Memories To Heaven At Garver Pavilion
deadly diseases, and other medical

conditions can shorten ones life span
to mere months in some cases. With
such a grim reality upon them, the
remainder of ones life can be reduced
to the pain and suffering brought on
by their affliction.
It doesnt have to be that way,
though.
Hospital staff and hospice care
professionals
are
trained
and
dedicated to making the last days
of ill-fated patients as comfortable
as possible. That level of dedication
doesnt stop at death, either.
That devotion and care was certainly
on display on August 13th, when the
Community Health Professionals of
Bryan and Archbold held a Butterfly
Memorial Service for those who
passed away under their care. A
beautiful sunset ceremony at Garver
Park Rotary Pavilion was filled beyond
capacity with people overflowing into
the bordering grass. Jack and Amy
Brace, of the Bryan United Methodist
Church, provided music before and
during the service by playing the
guitar and flute respectively.
After Mona Sauder, pastor of the
Zion Mennonite Church in Wauseon,
provided the invocation, Bryan

Hospital Nurse Ginny George took to
the microphone.
I just wanted to thank everyone for
letting us care for your loved ones and
allowing us into your lives. George
emotionally addressed the crowd, a
hint of tears welling in her eyes.
Pam Wanemacher, representing
Fulton County Health Professionals,
and Krista Steiner, serving the same
role for Williams County, read the
names of dedicated loved ones passed
on for their respective counties.
Wanemacher read 12 names, while
Steiner read 30. Afterward, butterflies
were handed out in exchange for a
small donation. The boxed insects
were then released, with the crowd
pausing to admire their beauty and
take pictures.
The Braces then performed a
powerful rendition of Amazing
Grace. Attendees stood and recited
the words in elegant unity.
Rebecca
Short,
a
hospice
professional, concluded the ceremony
with a poem.
Dont weep at my grave, for I am not
there.
Ive a date with a butterfly to dance
in the air.
Ill be singing in the sunshine, wild
and free,
Playing tag with the wind, while Im
waiting for thee.
We are the as the wings of a
butterfly,
bound together with the love of God.

With such a glorious vision of the
afterlife, maybe death should be the
last of ones worries.

Free Mental Health Education

Class Offered In Archbold
A free mental health education class
for family members and others with
an adult loved one who suffers from a
mental illness will be offered by the NAMI
(National Alliance on Mental Illness)
Four County chapter next month. The
class will be held at the ADAMhs Board
office about four miles south of Archbold
on State Route 66 (T-761 St. Rt. 66).
The 12-week class, which is open to
residents of any county, begins Monday,
September 15 from 6 to 8:30 p.m.
Called Family to Family, the class
covers a different topic each week,
including: learning about the symptoms
and facts of major depression, bipolar
disorder, schizophrenia, panic disorder
and obsessive-compulsive disorder;
understanding each diagnosis as well
as the treatment of each illness; dealing
with difficult periods that a person
suffering from a mental illness goes
through, including relapse; an up-todate medication review; a problemsolving workshop; developing strategies
on how to better communicate with the
mentally ill loved one; and more.
The curriculum was professionally
developed by NAMI and is continually
updated to include the most recent
information about medications and
medical research on mental illness.
Family to Family is now listed in

SAMHSAs national registry of evidencebased programs and practices.
Participants will receive a notebook
full of information on each topic covered
during the class.
Co-leaders of the fall Family to Family
class are Trisha Vassar and Veria Frank,
each of whom has a family member with
a mental illness. They have taught the
class before and completed a three-day
training in order to become certified as
a Family to Family instructor.
Class evaluations from past Family
to Family participants report that the
information presented is very helpful.
However, the opportunity to share and
learn from other persons who have
gone through similar situations with
a mentally ill loved one is the most
valuable part of the class.
To find out more about the class that
will be held at the ADAMhs Board office
near Archbold, please contact Trisha or
Veria at 419/237-3103 during the day
or Trish at 419/330-9476 other times.
Although the class is free and open
to any family member, friend or person
who works closely with someone with
a mental illness, pre-registration is
required.

Delta. Actual voting will take place in
the historical Swancreek Township Hall
located on the Fairgrounds.
Fair-goers will also be able to see a

CHURCH & SPIRITUAL NEWS
Devotional Thought / Fellowship of Christian Athletes

BY: REX STUMP - USELESS?!
I have some important facts I need to share with you!

Did you know that before 1859, umpires sat in a padded
rocking chair behind the catcher? Or did you know that
fishing is the biggest participant sport in the world? Here
are a few other sport facts that you should know!
About 42,000 tennis balls are used in the plusminus 650 matches in the Wimbledon Championship.
It takes 3,000 cows to supply the NFL with

enough leather for a years supply of footballs.
Average lifespan of a major league baseball: 5

pitches.
If a horse wins a race hands down it means

the jockey never raised his whip during the race.
Do you feel smarter? Well, all I did was pass along
information to you. Matter of fact we have more information streaming into our lives than any other previous
generation. Some would say that all these facts and data
are making us smarter and more mature. Truth iswhat
we know doesnt make us smarter or more mature. What
we do with all the information we acquire is what sets us
apart. Someone will say, Knowledge is merely having
clarity of facts and truths while wisdom is the practical
ability to make consistently good decisions in life.
As a coach, parent, leader or educator you have set
goals to teach skills and lessons. You can have a great
lesson plan or game plan, but if the one you are teaching
doesnt put into application the taught skill, have they
learned anything at all? Here is my point facts, skills,
information, and knowledge of things are greatbut if
you dont apply them with understanding it doesnt
matter what you obtain.

In Psalm 127 Solomon, a man full of wisdom, said
the following; Unless the Lord builds a house, the work
of the builders is wasted. Unless the Lord protects a
city, guarding it with sentries will do no good. It is useless for you to work so hard from early morning until
late at night, anxiously working for food to eat; for God
gives rest to his loved ones. Solomon makes it clear
that you can build, protect, and work but if you do all
these things without God its useless! It is like having
a bunch of knowledge but not applying it.
God has gifted many of us with knowledge, talents,
and skills. Ive seen too many young people waste their
talent and time. What are you doing with those things?
If you are not using them for Him or His Kingdom, then
what you are doing may seem useless.
Seniors what kind of legacy will you leave in your
school this year? How will you be remembered? Unless the Lord lives through you at practice, your work is
wasted. Unless the Lord is seen in your study habits and
honesty, your education is wasted. Its useless to put
all your time in social media, if you have not spent time
connecting with God.
Learn more about our Lord and Savior and how He
wants to live through youthen apply it and live it out.
Unless the Lord without the Lord - dont let that be
said of how you live!
For more reading, check out; Ephesians 2:11-13; I
Samuel 12:20-22; and Psalm 108:11-13.
Winning The Battle

For A Generation
HAVE YOU EVER TASTED OF
GODS LOVE & FORGIVENESS?
I grew as a child with my family never having gone to

church. I remember my mother having a huge family Bible
on a coffee table and her efforts to give me and my siblings
what little spiritual education we would ever know by her
reading to us from the Ten Commandments. Through
those precious times of her reading I became aware that
I was a sinner, hopelessly lost and wondering if I would
ever taste the love and forgiveness of God. There may be
someone reading this today who is like I was, needing to
taste the love and forgiveness of God, read on and may you
come to taste of His love and know Him.
Regarding our gift for taste, I read the following article
in preachingtoday.com last week
If youre like most Westerners, you take chocolate for
granted. While always a treat, the delicious brown gold is
everywhere, relatively cheap and ready to give you a sugar
buzz. Its easy to assume thats the case everywhere
particularly for the workers who grow the cocoa beans.
After all, if you lived in a place where chocolate grew on
trees, wouldnt you be sick of the flavor? But thats not
the case.
The journey from cocoa pod to Wonka-style chocolate
bars is a very long one, and the product is unrecognizable
to the workers who harvest the raw materials for chocolate.
But a recent viral video shows cocoa farmers in Africa
tasting chocolate for the first time. They werent even sure
what their hard-earned crops were even being made into.
The look on their facespleasure and surprise and this
is so yummyis priceless as they taste the fruit of their
labor. Its an (ahem) sweet illustration of how we can be so
close to something wonderfullike the gospelhandling it
all the time, but never tasting or benefitting from its end
resultsalvation, spiritual health, and joy. We can produce
without tasting, or feed others without being nourished
ourselves.
With respect to tasting the work of God in us, King David
wrote, Psalm 34:8 (NIV), 8 Taste and see that the LORD is
good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

Defiance Area Youth for Christ and serves
