My recommendation for the purchase of a thirty-passenger bus would be [to go with] Cardinal Bus Sales and Service, stated Ewers. As previously pointed out, adding an efficient, cost-effective smaller bus to the fleet would allow the District more flexibility with routes (including Preschool and Kindergarten) now running under capacity; a smaller bus would also be ample enough to accommodate the transportation needs of co-curricular and extracurricular activities as well. With brief follow-up questions posed and addressed, members voted to approve Superintendent Ewers recommendation to accept Cardinals bid of $47,342. The new bus will be purchased with District Permanent Improvement Fund monies (not General Fund) with on-site delivery expected in time for the start of the 20142015 school year. Also that evening, Mr. Chip Hulbert addressed the Board regarding the Districts hiring process, requesting an explanation (for those present) how a job is made public, subsequent steps to accepting and reviewing applications, deciding who to interview and the eventual employment of an individual. Typically, a position is posted ~ weve posted nearly all positions on our website ~ and we also advertise in the newspaper, responded Superintendent Ewers. We make sure all qualified applicants are notified, and from that point ~ [normally] a tenday window depending whether or not enough applications are generated ~ a paper screening is [done] to decide that [applicants] meet our criteria. Interviews are then conducted and after that, we select candidates to bring before the Board who decides either to accept my recommendation ~ or to oppose my recommendation. Ensuing questions put forward by Mr. Hulbert regarding the matter ~ prompted, in part, by last months custodial hiring ~ were handled without delay by Superintendent Ewers.

Edon Northwest Local Board Of West Unity Village Council Recognizes Education Approves Bus Purchase Matt Axford, Hears Councilors Concerns
RECOGNITION ... Matt Axford (center), along with his wife Jessica (right) accept recognition and gratitude from Mayor Peg Bernath (left) for his ten years of service with the Village of West Unitys maintenance department. By: Chelsie Firestone THE VILLAGE REPORTER The April 10 West Unity Village Council meeting opened with Mayor Peggy Bernath recognizing and thanking Matt Axford for his ten years of service to the Villages maintenance department. Council also approved the second reading of Resolution 3-2014-2, a resolution showing councils support for the Millcreek-West Unity School District levy that will be appearing on the May 6 ballot. Several areas of concern were brought up at the meeting during the Councilors report. During his report, Donavon Leu began by suggesting that the Village take bids to see if would be less costly to have a private entity mow Village property than for the Village to maintain the property themselves. This idea was favorably viewed by all in attendance. Leu also mentioned that he and Councilor Kevin Gray had heard of the possibility of using unpaid volunteers within the city. This idea was quickly answered to by Village Solicitor Ryan Thompson, who brought up concerns related to liability and insurance. Leu also suggested that Council consider the discontinuance of committees and having all issues brought before the full Council. His concern, which revolved around the compliance with Ohio Sunshine Laws, was also shared by Councilor Dave Short, who questioned whether or not Sunshine Laws were being violated if two council members happened to run into each other in town and were then questioned by a resident about Village affairs. Thompson also addressed this issue, noting that all committee meetings are advertised as required by the Sunshine Laws and assuring that Council that they could answer the publics questions without ...

In addition to addressing routine business brought before them, members of the Edon Northwest Local Board of Education approved adding a new bus to the fleet during their regular monthly session held Tuesday, April 8, 2014 in the Edon Schools' Media Center. President Brad McCrea called the meeting to order with members Jamie Schaffter, Dave Wehrle, Dave Haase and approximately ten guests in attendance; not answering roll was Aaron Hake. We had two different bids submitted for purchase of a thirtypassenger transit gasoline-fueled bus, began Superintendent Ed Ewers. Mr. Samples and I conducted the bid
opening Friday, April 4 with representatives from each company present. Commenting that a slight difference (just over twenty-eight hundred dollars) separated the two base prices; Ewers further explained each tendered proposal. Cardinal Bus Sales and Service [in Lima] had a base bid of $47,542 with a delivery date ten days after receipt of a purchase order, noted Ewers. They also offered an early paid discount of two hundred dollars if payment was received upon delivery. That would bring [Cardinals] total bid price to $47,342. Myers Equipment Corporation of Canfield, Ohio, offered no discount incentive to their $50,359 base bid; delivery would occur ten to fourteen days after receiving the Districts purchase order.

Councilor Rick Frey added that the City has been maintaining the property. With all of the information presented, Council accepted the recommendation of the Building and Grounds Committee to convey the storm water detention facility parcel, a total of 4.019 acres, for Arrowhead Trails Subdivision to the City.

CONTINUED FROM THE FRONT PAGE
While the confidentially of the hiring process, interviews, candidate qualifications, Executive Session discussions cannot be broached, Ewers ended the query stating: Theres no question that a lot of perceptions can be made [about a hiring]. I think in any position where there are multiple candidates, theres always going to be a feeling of Why did that person get the position over me? Was this person already involved? Did the person know [someone] or have a name? I believe perceptions [of practices] are always out there. Again, to go to the point of your question tonight, the process was followed; the process was appropriate and the process was thorough. Every opportunity was made available to whoever wished to apply [for the custodial position]. Continuing, Ewers reiterated, The decision was made by this Board to hire [that person] selected as the best candidate for the position; there will always be people uncomfortable or upset with that. As further questions specifically related to last months hiring and the Boards role in District hiring procedures were asked, Members McCrea, Haase and Wehrle responded to Mr. Hulbert as well. Weve reviewed our procedures for interviewing and hiring before, noted President McCrea. The Board does not get involved in the daily operations of hiring; we set the direction of the school and hire the best professionals we can ~ superintendent, treasurer, [qualified] educators ~ to run it. Maybe thats part of the problem, stated Hulbert. Maybe there needs to be more involvement by the Board ~ to oversee the hiring process. Turning to wrap up the sometimes affecting exchange of explanations, comments and opinions, President McCrea expressed his thanks to Mr. Hulbert. We appreciate your concerns and what you brought [to us]. Thank you for coming. Although feeling the Board underestimated the number of outraged people who came to him about the perceived hiring issue, Hulbert was appreciative. I dont think my questions were answered very well, he ended, but I thank you for giving me your time. In highlighting their April Reports to the Board, administrators shared: Superintendent Ed Ewers Shared over the past five years, special education enrollment had increased to twenty-one percent of the total student population (up from thirteen percent in 2009); student services, staff, state requirements will continue to be monitored in order to meet the needs of each student. Noted the District made it through the first Straight A Grant audit; computer hardware is currently being installed in the Elementary School lab while laptops for teachers and students

are expected shortly for additional online learning. All upgrades are funded by grant monies and not from the General Fund. Commended students and adults for the great job they did at serving guests attending North Western Electric Co-ops Annual Banquet; wished all athletes good luck in their current season as well. Accepted Cash Donations during March from: various individuals/ businesses/Family Fun Night contributions (Post Prom/$615); Williams County Pork Producers (ham for FFA Banquet/$112.04); various individuals (Lucille Osmun Memorial/$80); Hicksville Rotary (Ag Day Participation/$250); various individuals/ businesses (T-shirts/$200) and Gift Donations from Edon Athletic Boosters (five football helmets/$1000; eight shoulder pads/$1000; ten hurdles/$814.50; fifteen girls basketball uniforms/$1575 and embroidery on coaches shirts/$315.) Agreed to allow Matt Buendia use of Leanne Field for the 5th Annual Alumni Flag Football fundraiser. Kickoff is slated for 6:00 p.m., Friday, August 1 with proceeds from the planned Edon Days 2014 event to benefit the Grady Hake Family. Approved the May 1-2 FFA trip to Columbus for FFA State Convention. Approved a Memorandum of Understanding with Edon Northwest Teachers Association regarding the Ohio Teachers Evaluation System (OTES). (Will remain in effect until a new negotiated contract is approved and signed.) Approved Deb Gensler, Denyse Johnson, Dawn Becker, Carey Kiess, Michelle Free, and Mindi Kepler as Grades 3-6 Summer Intervention Teachers at the rate of twenty-five dollars per hour. Approved the annual non-renewal of all supplemental contracts (coaches, club and class advisors, spring and summer intervention teachers, etc.) at the end of the 2013-2014 contract year. Approved non-renewal of positions for Cheri Jacobs (Title I Classroom Teacher Aide), Jack Gensler, Sharla Kirkingburg, Sue LaDuke, Madison Muehlfeld, Noreen Piechocki, Susan Shellhorse, Lynette Skiles, Edith Tennant, Tomi Zuver (Classroom Teacher Aides) and Karen Wilson (Media Center Aide). Done annually, this routine action is no reflection of an employees job performance; positions can be renewed at a later date year if needed. Approved board policy revisions, as presented, to comply with required and/ or recommended changes in state and federal rules and guidelines. Tabled further discussion regarding the purchase of BoardDocs; members would like to explore the online program before making a decision. (BoardDocs is a paperless service designed to lower the cost and reduce the time needed to produce monthly meeting packets; it also increases transparency of the Board as pertinent information would posted on the District website to peruse.) Approved minutes from last months regular session held March 11, 2014 as well as March Financial Reports. Voted to enter into Executive Session prior to adjournment to discuss negotiations (preparing, conducting or reviewing); no action was taken. The Edon Northwest Local Board of Education will next meet Tuesday, May 13, 2014 in the schools Media Center beginning at 5:30 p.m. Lucinda Held-Faulhaber May be reached at
By: Lucinda Held-Faulhaber THE VILLAGE REPORTER

Approving a land purchase within the Village topped the straightforward agenda addressed by Edon Board of Public Affairs during its regular monthly session held Tuesday, April 8, 2014 in Village Chambers. Mayor Darlene Burkhardt called the late afternoon meeting to order with members Andy Ledyard, Warren Henry, Chip Hulbert, Fiscal Officer Heidi Bidwell and Water/ Wastewater Superintendent Chris Decker in attendance. Upon President Ledyards request, members voted to enter into Executive Session at the onset to resume talk regarding land acquisition. At the completion of their extended discussion, Board members returned to open session and approved purchasing the 3.4 acre Yoder property situated around the sewer/Wastewater Treatment Plant (off East Indiana Street) for sixteen thousand dollars. In other business, members: Approved purchasing one hydrant quick-connect at this time for an estimated cost of two hundred fifty dollars. Fittings placed on hydrants throughout the Village would greatly assist volunteer firefighters when needed. Learned in addition to daily operations at both the Water Treatment and Wastewater Treatment Plants, Superintendent Decker reread leaky water meters; located water services; replaced the Wastewater Equalization Tank pump (two additional pumps were sent out to be rebuilt) and noted plowed
Treasurer Kerry Samples Noted the three-year property/liability contract with SORSA (Schools of Ohio Risk Sharing Authority; Andres ONeil & Lowe as local agent) and fiveyear copier service contract with Current Office Solutions are set to expire in June and August, respectively; he will compile quotes for review at next months meeting. Submitted his standard SM2 Report indicating revenues were up ninetyfour thousand dollars and expenses up one hundred ninety-two thousand dollars for the same nine-month period as last year. The District is tracking ninetyeight thousand dollars worse than a year ago. (Semi-monthly pay periods are back on schedule for a more apple-to-apple comparison between the two fiscal years.) Grades 7-12 Principal Anthony Stevens Shared OGT testing for grade ten had been completed with scoring results available next month; practice OGTs, administered to grade nine students will help guide teachers with instructional planning; scored OAA grades 7-8 practice test data will assess student preparedness for the upcoming May 5-9 testing dates; sophomores would take the PSAT in October. Additionally, PARCC (Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers), the next generation assessment, was administered April 7-9 to thirty-eight Algebra I students; data from the successful computer-based field test will be reviewed in preparation of next years possible rollout. Noted he is taking into consideration possible modifications to the current traditional GPA scale and credit assignments. Grades KK-6 Principal Bonnie Troyer Recognized Marchs Bomber Courtesy Club members for the phenomenal role models they are and all Kindergarten students for the outstanding program they presented March 14. Submitted monthly reports outlining principal, teacher, parent and student activities for March along with her Summer School Intervention proposal. Additionally, year-end checkout forms have been provided to elementary teachers; 2014-2015 staff budgets have been returned; and OTES evaluations are completed. Noted PARCC assessments would be conducted for end-of-year grade four math; field testing will take place in May just after the OAAs. In other business brought forward, the Board:
debris left on mowed Water Department grounds would need to be cleaned up. He also shared his Water I licensing test is slated for next month. Was informed valves at the Water Treatment Plant were replaced by Artesian; cost for the needed emergency repairs totaled sixty-two hundred dollars. Heard the blower at the Wastewater Treatment Plant was down; once pulled, estimated costs (approximately two thousand dollars) would be reviewed before moving ahead with repairs. Tabled further discussion regarding the purchase of a security light at the water tower until quotes are obtained. Put forward by Florence Township Fire Department, the added lighting would be an asset to firefighters when filling tanks at night; costs could possibly be split between the Village and Township. Learned Roberta Acousta of Ohio RCAP (Rural Community Assistance Program) had reviewed the Water Departments budget projections and proposed rate adjustments; it was suggested having her return to clarify the findings and to address questions and concerns rising from further assessments of the report. Accepted the Minutes, Financial Report and Bills as presented. Signed the Shut-Off List. Edon Board of Public Affairs will hold its next meeting Tuesday, May 13, 2014 beginning at 4:30 p.m. in Village Chambers.

North Central Was Host To Red Cross Blood Drive

from 1 pm to 6 pm. The Red Cross staff was extremely pleased with the results which exceeded the initial donation goal. Repeat donors are key to the success of the blood drives. All types of blood are needed, but especially type O-negative. Type O-negative blood is the universal blood type and can be transfused to anyone who needs blood, regardless of their own blood type. Type O-negative blood may be used during emergencies, when there is no time to cross-match a persons blood type. That is why it is especially important
North Central Schools was another host for the American Red Cross in the first week of April. On April 4th donations were accepted at the school
that people with type O-negative blood donate as frequently as they can. The demand for blood products is constant. Approximately every two seconds, a patient in the United States needs a blood transfusion. Blood and platelets are used for many different kinds of treatments, including for accidents and burns, heart surgery, organ transplants, complications during childbirth, cancer and sickle cell disease. To learn more about donation, you can go to www.redcross.org or call 1-800 REDCROSS.

being in violation of such laws. The laws only stipulate that councilors cannot conduct business for the Village outside of an advertised public meeting. Answering concerns or questions brought forth by members of the public are not in violation of the laws. Leu also voiced his objection to Village Administrator Ric Beals applying for a $23,000 CBDG (Community Block Development Grant) grant that would be used to replace the floor at the Kissell Community Building. Leu noted that he would have rather have seen such funds go towards the much needed replacement of the water lines within the Village. Beals explained that he had previously applied for the CBDG grant to replace the water lines but that grant had not gone through as the grant favors projects directly related to the community. He also expressed his belief that had he filed for the grant for the same purpose again this year that it would have again failed. Part of Leus objection was that he was not previously aware of the grant application and was concerned with how he could answer the publics questions when he did not have the proper information. Both Mayor Peg Bernath and Village Solicitor Ryan Thompson replied to Leus concerns, indicating that Beals had acted within his power in applying for the grant to be used for improvements to the Kissell Building. Bernath also noted that the application for the grant had been brought up in several earlier meetings. Thompson also responded that the Councils position is legislative in nature whereas the Village Administrators is executive and that councilors should feel free to direct questions coming from the public to Beals if the question is one that falls outside of the legislative realm. During earlier reports given in the meeting, Mayor Bernath also suggested that Council consider moving to having only one regular meeting per month as they do not frequently address legislation. She also would like to remind the public that, if someone knocks on their door, they should ask to see their permit to solicit within the Village. If a permit cannot be produced or if the person knocking has

no knowledge of what permit is being asked for, people should feel free to shut the door and contact the Police Department as it is illegal to solicit within the Village limits without a permit. Fines may be imposed. During his report, Village Administrator Ric Beals also informed Council that Kamco Industries was asking for Councils support to begin raising funds to install a splash park at Memorial Park. Council expressed their full support for the endeavor. Beals also reported that West Unity has once again received recognition as a Tree City USA village. This marks the 28th consecutive year the Village of West Unity has received the recognition, making it the longest recognized village within Williams County. It was also noted that West Unity will be hosting the Tree City USA program event in 2016. Also included in Bealss report was that the Village did receive a 12 percent discount from Toledo Edison on street lighting. Beals also noted that he contracted with Toledo Edison for three years at a slight increase for power for property owned by the Village. The contract will avoid the significant cost increases for electricity that are expected over the next several years. Other items included in Bealss report were that: The Code Red Alert system he had previously checked into has gained interest by the Williams County Commissioners, making the way for a possible county-wide system. A service crew from CCNO has recently cleaned alleys damaged by snow plowing. The Villages 2002 Ford Taurus has been traded in for a 2011 Jeep Liberty. The projected costs of coating the inside of the old water tower and the projected cost of demolishing the tower are both approximately $25,000. Council discussed, without coming to final decision, which option would be best for the Village. The next meeting of the West Unity Village Council will be held on April 24 at 7:30 pm in Council Chambers.

Millcreek-West Unity School District Clarifies Levy To Fund School Resource Officer
By: Chelsie Firestone THE VILLAGE REPORTER With last Novembers narrow defeat of a levy designed to fund Millcreek-West Unity School Districts School Resource Officer, the school district has been funding the position out of monies from the General Fund. While this has been enough to keep the School Resource Officer position, currently being filled by Officer Michael Polley, for the 2013-14 school year, it is not something that the school district can afford without taxpayer assistance. As a result, the district will once again be turning to the voting public, asking them to approve a similar levy during the upcoming May 6 election. The proposed 0.9 mil levy is heavily backed by Mayor Peg Bernath, all members of the West Unity Village Council, and Chief of Police J.R. Jones, who notes that Officer Polley does a good job. Not only does he provide security for our students while theyre at school, he also acts as a positive role model and enables our students to build a long-lasting positive rapport with law enforcement. During times when school is out of session, Officer Polley returns his services to the Village, spending a good portion of his time patrolling the park, where he continues to grow this rapport with the students. However, there has been some confusion about the amount of funds covered under the legislation that also appear in a letter, written by an anonymous supporter of the levy, that has gone out asking for the publics support. As a fairly recent addition to the police department, the actual salary of Officer Michael Polley, which is covered under Resolution 10-2013-06 and which was passed by Council on October 25, 2013, is $29,792.00 annually. The $57,496.00 figure that passage of the levy would collect is the maximum amount filling the position could cost if ever a more tenured officer, whose salary and insurance might be higher than Officer Polleys present salary and insurance, was used to fill the position. It is also the amount that must be legislated in order for both the Village and School District to ensure that all costs are covered in the event of any changes; whether they be in relationship to personnel, wages, or benefits; that might occur within the position. As noted in the support letter, If variables cause the cost of service to go down [from $57,496.00], any carryover funds in year one will be applied to the cost of service in year two and the millage amount for tax collection will be reduced. Also, if any federal or state grants become available to cover such costs, the levy will be reduced or eliminated accordingly. With the actual cost of Officer Polley filling the School Resource Officer position ($29,792.00 plus cost of benefits) being significantly lower than the maximum stated cost of $57,496.00, voters would most likely see a millage reduction over subsequent years.

NEW ROLE ... West Unity Village Administrator Ric Beals (right) is pleased to have Kim Grime (left) stepping up to take on her new role as Fiscal Officer as well as to have Katie Baltosser (center) filling Kims previous position as Deputy Clerk. By: Chelsie Firestone THE VILLAGE REPORTER After having filled the position of Deputy Clerk for the Village of West Unity for almost nine years, Kim Grime has recently stepped up and taken on her new role as the Villages Fiscal Officer. While Kim grew up in Waterville and graduated high school from Anthony Wayne in Whitehouse, she is a familiar face in the Village of West Unity, where she has now resided for 28 years. Those whom have ever met or worked with Kim will also note that she is not only familiar; she is also a friendly and pleasant person who always has a heartfelt and genuine smile for everyone she meets. Aside from being a member of the West Unity Chamber of Commerce for two years and a member of the Three Arts Club in West Unity for fifteen years, Kim also makes time with her family; including husband Willy and her children; Stephanie (Jeremy) Gearig, Marci (Jake) Grime, Brian (Lesley) Frederick, and Aaron Grime. Kim is also the proud grandmother to two granddaughters and three grandsons. Having vacated her previous position as the villages Deputy Clerk to step into her new role as Fiscal Officer, Kim acknowledges that the new position has been a lot and that she, at times, has been overwhelmed but also expresses her gratitude towards Council and other Village Employees, saying that she feels fortunate that everyone in the Village Office has been supportive of her as well as that they have provided her with good resources in the form of other Fiscal Officers if she has questions or is in need of assistance. Kim is also excited that her previous position as Deputy Clerk has recently been filled by yet another familiar face in West Unity, Katie Baltosser. Katie will be leaving her position at Farmers and Merchants State Bank to fill the role and Kim says that she is excited to have Katie on board and is looking forward to the help. Katie will begin in her new position later this month. Chelsie Firestone can be reached at chelsie@thevillagereporter.com

Fayette Village Council Accepts Roadwork Bid, Hires Personnel
By: Timothy Kays THE VILLAGE REPORTER
Members of the Fayette Village Council convened in a brief special session on the evening of April 9. The primary purpose of the special session was the approval of the bid for two street projects...the TRW road widening project and the village-wide street resurfacing project. Both projects were to be included in a single bid package. Council approved the bid of Henry W. Bergman, Inc. of Genoa, Ohio. The Bergman bid of $392,937.80 was not only the lowest, it also came in below the estimates of the engineers. According to Village Administrator Steve Blue, both the village and the engineers have had positive experience with Bergman. Council also hired Mark Merillat and Shane Myers as part-time, contingency employees for on-call services such as snow plowing and water main work.

You pay in advance and ,if you should actually have two rolls of the garbage truck, youve paid for one, and we will bill you for the other later. The listing of what is not accepted in the cleanup is extensive. Excluded are items like yard waste, hazardous waste, tires and any liquids. Complete guidelines as to what is and is not accepted are available at the Village Office.

Fayette Library Busy With Many Activities In April

The Fulton County Health Center will have a cholesterol screening here at the Library on Monday, April 21 from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. There will be a $5.00 donation to the Fulton County Heart Radiothon. No fasting is required for this test which will screen for HDL and LDL levels and provide a ratio. Glucose sugar testing is also provided. No advance sign up is required. Rachel Kinsman, Health Educator from the Fulton County Health Department, will be present to discuss cholesterol strategies and suggestions to control cholesterol through diet, exercise, and medication. The monthly book discussion group will be held on Thursday, April 28 at 7 pm. The book that will be discussed is The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. The book is about a woman named Henrietta Lacks but known by scientists as HeLa. She was a poor Southern tobacco farmer who worked the same land as her slave ancestors, yet her cells, taken without her knowledge, became one of the most important tools in medicine. The first immortal human cells grown in culture, they are still alive today, though she has been dead for more than sixty years. HeLa cells were vital for developing the polio vaccine, uncovered secrets of cancer, viruses, and the atom bombs effects, helped lead to important advances like in vitro fertilization, cloning, and gene mapping and have been bought and sold by the billions. Henriettas family did not learn of her immortality until more than twenty years after her death, when scientists investigating HeLa began using her husband and children in research without informed consent. As Rebecca Skloot so brilliantly shows, the story of the Lacks family, past and present, is inextricably connected to the dark history of experimentation on African Americans, the birth of bioethics, and the legal battles over whether we control the stuff we are made of. The after-school program continues. Meeting times are Grades K-1 (Tuesdays) and Grades 2-5 (Thursdays) from after school until 4:15. This is the schedule for April: Apr. 17: Play Day, Apr. 22: Tea Party! GIRLS ONLY, Apr. 24: Wii Party! BOYS ONLY, and Apr. 29 & May 1: Movie. Story time will be held on Mondays from 6:30-7:00 for ages 2-5. (Adults must accompany 2-3 year olds). Each session includes a story and craft. No Story Time on April 21 due to Easter holiday. Family Fun Night will be Friday, April 25 from 7:00-9:00 p.m. This will be a family game night including a life size Candy Land Game. The library would like to thank the Fulton County Farm Bureau, Cathy Leininger, Sandra Strickler, and Jerry Gonzalez for their donations in March. Come visit the library for one of the planned events in the month of April or welcome Spring by enjoying a good book! INFORMATION PROVIDED

Winter Road Maintenance Proves Expensive, March 2014 Did Little To Alleviate
By: Timothy Kays THE VILLAGE REPORTER According to the monthly climatology report from the National Weather Service Office in North Webster, Indiana, to no ones surprise, March was yet another very cold month across the Great Lakes region, despite the beginning of spring on the calendar. March also brought in yet another bumper crop of snowfall, just to give fond memories to everyone of the prior few months. According to the report, The persistent ridge of high pressure over the eastern Pacific Ocean continued through the month, and in turn allowed the jet stream to dive south out of the Arctic region and into the Great Lakes as it has done most of the winter. Several cold fronts with Arctic origin brought very cold air south, which kept temperatures well below normal for the month. There were also several systems that developed in the Pacific Ocean and tracked through the Ohio Valley. The moisture associated with these systems moved north and interacted with the cold air, leading to several days of snowfall over the area. The average monthly temperature at the KFWA observation station in Fort Wayne was 30.3 degrees, which was 8.1 degrees below normal. This ranked as the sixth coldest March on record since 1912. This was also the coldest March in Fort Wayne since 1984, which just so happened to be the second coldest March on record. The warmest temperature of the month occurred on the last day with a high of 65, and was in fact the warmest temperature in the area since November of 2013. The lowest temperature of the month was minus-three on the third. There were 23 days with an average temperature below normal and 14 of these days were more than ten degrees below normal. March third had the greatest departure of 27 degrees below normal. The high on that day was just 14 and the low, as previously mentioned, was three below zero. Despite it being cold it was actually a relatively dry month. There was 1.90 inches of precipitation, which was 0.7 inches below normal. This ranked as the 23rd driest March on record since 1912. The reason for the lack of liquid precipitation can easily be attributed to the temperatures... it fell as snow. Snowfall was 13.2 inches, which was 9.1 inches above normal. This ranked as the fifth snowiest March on record. Interestingly, March of 2013 ranked as the third snowiest March on record with 18.1 inches, with March of 1964 as the snowiest on record with 19.5 inches. Just two years ago, March 2012 was the warmest March on record, with an average temperature of 52.6 degrees and only 0.3 inches of snowfall in that entire month. So much for the warming trend. While we are on the subject of snow, ice, and all the other inconveniences that we held near and dear to our hearts since last November, the Ohio Department of Transportation has released the numbers of the costs that show how the recently passed winter siphoned off your tax dollars. The figures for our four county area are daunting, to say the least. Get out your calculators brave souls, and see what the Winter of 2013-14 has cost the coffers of the state... Fulton County Total lane miles maintained: 277 Tons of salt used: 4,473 Gallons of brine used: 29,400 Total miles driven by plows: 142,934 Total direct cost: $876,982 Henry County Total lane miles maintained: 354 Tons of salt used: 7,022 Gallons of brine used: 196,092 Total miles driven by plows: 151,922 Total direct cost: $942,530 Williams County Total lane miles maintained: 373 Tons of salt used: 8,249 Gallons of brine used: 27,902 Total miles driven by plows: 168,211 Total direct cost: $1,191,158 Defiance County Total lane miles maintained: 294 Tons of salt used: 6,047.42 Gallons of brine used: 64,950 Total miles driven by plows: 160,082 Total direct cost: $ 998,598.22 Total four county area cost: $4,009,268.22 Thats just the costs to maintain the main roads. Factor in the costs for city and county roads, the amounts spent on cleaning out sidewalks, parking lots and driveways, and the cost of lost production when businesses were closed by the weather, and the numbers would go much higher. The Climate Prediction Center has forecast that April will hold a normal precipitation pattern for our area, with a 40 percent chance of lower than normal temperatures. It is for reasons like this that I am not putting away my shovel just yet, and it may still be out when the Indy 500 time trials are running. Ladies and gentlemen...defrost your engines! Am I the only one out there that is sick of this stuff? Timothy Kays can be reached at tim@thevillagereporter.com

Residents & Staff Of Fulton County Senior Center Participate In Flash Mob
New Veterans Coffee Club for all veterans age 60 and over! Stop by for coffee and goodies (donations basis) at the Wauseon site every Monday-Friday at 8:30 a.m. Not from Wauseon? Join the Veterans Coffee Club in Archbold and Swanton at 9:00 a.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays or the Fayette and Delta sites on Tuesdays and Thursday at 9:00 a.m. In observance of Good Friday, all five centers will close at 12:00 noon. Please join us for breakfast at 9:00. Each site will be serving breakfast and reservations are required. For seniors receiving home delivered meals, they will have a different look. Currently, the Senior Center is trialing the Oliver based packaging system which allows for easier reheating of meals. The earth friendly packaging allows for freezing and reheating of meals as needed. To re-heat in the microwave, pull the lid back slightly to vent and heat for 2-3 minutes. For conventional ovens, place on a baking sheet at 350 degrees for no longer than 10 minutes. Do not re-heat in toaster ovens. Cold food should be refrigerated immediately. Seniors and staff joined the Wauseon and Evergreen cheerleaders in the first-ever Fulton County Senior Center flash mob on Friday, February 14 at half-time of the Wauseon varsity boys basketball game. Whats a flash mob? A flash mob is a spontaneous, secret planned dance event in which a select group of people participate to raise awareness of their group or to just have fun and spread joy. Nancy Avina said, I kept it a secret from my husband, Paul, until two days before it happened. He made plans to attend a basketball game in Stryker the same night as the Wauseon game. You just ruined my secret! I told him, So Nancy revealed that she was involved in something during halftime, but did not give Paul any details. He asked if I would embarrass him and I told him, No, but Id love for you to be there! So he came to the Wauseon game to watch. It was so much fun! I really enjoyed it, Nancy said. Bill and Opal Taylor are no strangers to the dance floor, as they used to square and round dance with Skirts & Shirts Dance Club of Delta. We won a jitterbug contest 17 years ago this month. We were in the audience at Wauseon High School to watch the musical Grease. They invited audience members to come on stage and dance. And we won the contest! Will a future flash mob be organized? Kenny Bell hopes so. Bell said, I joined the flash mob because I like to dance and have fun. I met my wife years ago when I saw her on a dance floor. I hope the Senior Center has more things like the flash mob. I would get in on it every time! Each center offers bingo, exercise, community speakers, and outings. Please call for more information or for a detailed schedule. The Swanton site will welcome meteorologist Ross Ellet from 13 ABC who will share his weather wisdom on Friday, April 25. He will speak about the wild winter weather we have experienced and what we might expect weather-wise in the coming weeks. Please join at 11:00 a.m. at 210 N. Main St in Swanton, in the basement of Trinity United Methodist Church.

Winning The Battle For A Generation

WHY DO SOME PEOPLE SURVIVE DISASTERS & OTHERS DONT?
In her book, Unthinkable, reporter Amanda Ripley investigated why some people survive disasters and others dont. After examining fires, floods, hurricanes, and airplane crashes, interviewing dozens of survivors, she found three phases on the journey from danger to safety: denial, deliberation and what she calls the decisive moment. Unfortunately, many people dont make it to that final phasethe decisive moment. They dont make a decision to act. But as an example of the third stage, Ripley tells the story of Paul Heck, a man who knew how to act when his decisive moment came. On March 27, 1977 the 65-year-old Mr. Heck and his wife were sitting on a Pan Am 747 awaiting takeoff when an incoming plane hurtled through the fog at 160 miles per hour and slammed into the Hecks plane. The collision sheared the top off of 747 and set the plane on fire. Most of the 396 passengers onboard froze. Even Hecks wife, Floy, would later report that her mind went blank and she felt like a zombie. But Paul Heck went into action mode. He unbuckled his seatbelt, grabbed his wifes hand said Follow me, and then led her through a hole on the left side of the aircraft. In an interview after the disaster, Mr. Heck noted how most people just sat in their seats acting like everything was fine even after colliding with another plane and seeing the cabin fill with smoke. But Heck also noted that before takeoff he had studied the 747s safety diagram. When the crisis came Heck knew it was a decisive moment. He was prepared to make a decision and head for the only exit that was available to him. For believers in our Lord Jesus Christ how do we respond to adversity, to disaster? Perhaps we envision our response to calamity as some kind of super hero like Captain America. In reality we like Joshua may need a steady dose of encouragement, to Be Strong and Courageous. Three times in the first chapter of Joshua, Joshua is told by the LORD to be strong and courageous, (Joshua 1:6, 7, 9). The most encouraging part of these verses is that Joshua is assured of Gods presence in his journey and so are we. Jesus said Matthew 28:20 (NIV), 20 and teaching them to Hallett, Hallett obey everything I have & Nagel commanded you. And Attorneys At Law surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.

BY: REX STUMP - LOOK INSIDE, YOU ARE VALUABLE!
Most everyone remembers the story about Michael Jordan, one of the greatest basketball players of all times, getting cut from his high school team. Or did he? If you research this story, you will find out that he got cut from the varsity team, but played on the JV team that year. As much as Michael, or others believed that he deserved to play on the varsity team - it didnt happen. Michael spent that year playing on the JV team, working hard, and most likely evaluating himself. He could have pouted and given up, but he didnt. He looked inside, evaluated his skills, and despite what others thought - he believed he could do greater things. I recently read another story about a huge concrete Buddha statue located in Bangkok, Thailand. It was huge, ugly, and treated like trash. Visitors to the city would set their empty pop cans or items on the statue, not giving any respect to this statue. One day a Buddhist priest decided to have this statue moved to his temple. So in 1955 the statue was moved to its new location. There are a variety of accounts of what exactly happened during the move. But it is clear that, during the final attempt to lift the statue from its pedestal, the ropes holding the statue broke, and the statue fell down hard on the ground. Some of the plaster coating of the statue chipped off, allowing the gold surface underneath to be seen and providing evidence that beneath the plaster the statue was gold. Work was immediately stopped so that an evaluation could be made. What they discovered was a statue, 9.8 feet tall, weighing 5.4 long tons. In US dollars, the gold in the statue was estimated to be worth 250 million dollars! Just like Michael Jordan, on the outside we see one thing, but on the inside was something much more valuable! King David once wrote, You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mothers womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous-how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I cant even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me! (Psalm 139:13-18) Unfortunately we often have a low view of ourselves. Maybe our performance isnt the best. Maybe people say untrue and mean things about us. Before long we look on the outside, feeling less than valuable we give up, we feel less than valuable and in return we treat others will little value. It was reported in CBSNews.com, Plastic surgeons say theyre seeing more patients who want facial surgery, and they attribute the rise to social media and the growing selfie trend. In response to a survey conducted by the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, one in three plastic surgeons reported seeing an increase in requests for facial procedures by patients who wanted to look better online. The doctors reported that between 2012 and 2013, they saw a 10 percent rise in nose jobs, a 7 percent rise in hair transplants, and a 6 percent rise in eyelid surgery. Sounds like most people dont like their outside image. The truth is that God created you in His image. With incredible creative power, He knit us together, He marvelously pieced us together, giving us a value greater than a 10 foot golden statue! YOU are wonderfully made! You are thought about daily by the God of this universe! Gods thoughts about you outnumber the sands of all the deserts and shores of the world! Stop looking on the outside, stop looking for approval on the outside...begin to look inside. Look at the qualities, the characteristics, the passions, and strengths that God created in you. Now go live with the truth and confidence that you are created with value and loved by the God of this universe! For more reading, check out: 2 Corinthians 5:17-18 and Matthew 10:29-31.

CPCs 28th Annual Spring Benefit: Together For Life

and how He has led her to help women who have suffered with post-abortion syndrome. The CPC offers the H.E.A.R.T. Post Abortion Support Group that is led by facilitators who have also had abortions. This support group offers women a small confidential setting to assist them him letting go of the emotions that they have been carrying and surrounding themselves with support. The second guest was Salena Norris, who shared her amazing adoption story. Ms. Norris was 20 when she found out she was pregnant. With the support of her mother they went to the CPC together. She remembers feeling peace as she walked into the CPC. The CPC worker was able to go over all of her options for her pregnancy and, even though it was very difficult for her to decide, she chose adoption. Ms. Norris story is so profound that she knew that is was led by God. She was able to deliver her baby girl, name her, and spend the first three days of her life with her in the hospital. She asked the adoptive family to send her a picture every year with a letter updating her on how her daughter was. What happened was so much more. The adoptive parents, Dave and Val Krueger, opened their lives and hearts to both Salena and her daughter Michaela. The CPC made it possible for Ms. Norris to have the support she needed during a difficult time in her life and allowed her story of adoption to have a happy ending. The guest speaker for the evening was Gianna Jessen. Gianna has been publicly speaking since she was a teen about her survival story and on her gift of Cerebral Palsy. Gianna believes she has been called to live the impossible and that is exactly what she does. When Giannas biological mother was 17 she decided she wanted to have an abortion and opted to have a saline abortion in her third trimester. In a saline abortion, the Doctor would remove amniotic fluid from the mother and replace it with the saline solution through injecting a needle into the abdomen. The baby swallows the solution and is poisoned and the skin is burned and, usually after several hours, the babys heartbeat stops. The corrosive effect of the salt solution burns the lungs and strips away the outer layer of the babys skin. The mother goes through labor and soon delivers a burned, shriveled, and dead baby. In Giannas case, her birth mother delivered her after 18 hours of being exposed to this solution. Gianna said, that was the first sign from God; I was born in an abortion clinic. The second was the nurse who called for her transport to a hospital. Otherwise, the Doctor would have probably finished the procedure, but because of the time of day he was not in the clinic. Gianna said that God is so amazing though, because He had the abortionist sign my birth certificate. He will never be able to forget that day, that I am alive, because He is the Lord. She compares her time in her mothers womb to the Bible story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. God instilled a fire within me that can never be vanquished, it is eternal. I am His and He is mine. The procedure left her with cerebral palsy, which led doctors to believe that she would never be able to hold up her head, sit up, crawl, or walk. After being in several foster homes, Gianna was finally placed with Penny at 17 months old. Penny heard what the professionals said but ignored them. By 3 she was walking with the assistance of leg braces and a walker. Today, Gianna walks with a limp but that has not stopped this determined young woman who has ran on the tips of her toes in two marathons. Needless to say, Giannas story is nothing short of amazing. Gianna has been able to go all over the world. Her life has been covered by many major news media outlets. She has been in the BBC News and World Radio, Sky News, and The Good Morning Show in England, reaching many people with a message of hope and conviction. She has spoken in Ireland at many colleges, and the House of Commons in London. She was in England speaking in several parochial and public high schools. She also was able to have her testimony read before the Supreme Court in Carhart v. Gonzales. Currently, she has been working in Italy and believes that God has so much more in store for her life. Gianna is definitely living the impossible. Prior to the night ending Pastor Benaiah Harris from the House of Prayer in Montpelier, OH closed the evening in prayer. The CPCs mission is to share the Gospel of Christ, provide free assistance for unplanned pregnancies, help to heal and restore those experiencing post abortion trauma, and advocate sexual abstinence until marriage through education. The nights speakers exemplified that mission holds true. In 2013 the CPC had 6,312 office visits, 992 Distinct Clients, 5,658 phone calls, 226 individuals who chose life, 116 decisions for Christ, provided 79,173 units of services provided, 5,751 volunteer hours, 6,488 youth affected by abstinence education, 67 after school presentations, and 988 presentations in schools, churches and other organizations. The CPC offers client services free of charge for anyone in need. In 2013 they spent approximately 81% of their budget on client services and education, 12% on management, and 7% on fundraising costs. Actual expenditures were $463, 716. In 2013, the donations received totaled $494,489. These donations came from families and individuals, business owners, foundation, United Way grants, organizations, and churches. The projected expenses for 2014 is $449,150. The services the CPC offers abound. They have centers in Bryan, Defiance, Wauseon, and Napoleon. These centers offer pregnancy testing, early fetal ultrasound scanning, complete fetal development information, abortion procedure information, spiritual counsel, Earn While You Learn Classes, Material assistance, STD testing, and education. The Project Respect Program is provided in the local schools and for after school programs for children in grades 6-12. The H.E.A.R.T. post abortion support group and a Hispanic Ministry for those clients who converse only in Spanish are also available. For anyone who would like to get involved with this ministry, an upcoming volunteer training will be held in May. Contact Gina at 419-6365692.
