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.

CITY COUNCIL ... Wauseon Mayor Doug Shaw, along with Clerk of Courts Meg Murphy and Council President Heather Kost, presides over the April 7, 2014 Wauseon City Council meeting. By: Chelsie Firestone THE VILLAGE REPORTER
Members of the Wauseon City Council convened for their regular meeting at 5:00 pm on Monday, April 7 with Council President Heather Kost and Councilors Kathy Huner, Shane Chamberlin, Fred Allen, and Rick Frey in attendance. Councilor Don Mathews was absent from the meeting. After approval of the preceding meetings minutes, council moved on to hear a report from the Building and Grounds Committee. Speaking on behalf of the committee, Fred Allen reported that the committee had met on April 3 to discuss the storm water detention facility at the Arrowhead Trails Subdivision. It has been discovered that the property was never deeded over to the City as originally intended. Director of Public Works Dennis Richardson noted that the owner has supplied the City with a legal description and survey of the facility so that the proper deed exchange can take place as well as that the easements for both the incoming and outgoing tiles are in place. 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.

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
Edon Board Of Public Affairs Edon Northwest Local Board ... Approves Land Purchase
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
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.

constant. The actual donation process takes about 8-12 minutes. A healthy donor can donate red blood cells every 56 days and platelets can be given every 7 days, but no more than 24 times in one year. Every day, patients across the U.S. need an average of 44,000 units of red blood cells. Thats about 16-million donations transfused to 5 million patients each year. There are many ways to become involved with the mission of the American Red Cross. To donate blood or find other opportunities contact the Red Cross at redcrossblood.org or (800) 733-2767.

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.

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

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.

RECOGNITION ... Judy Van Wager was recognized during the spring benefit. By: Jennifer Manlove THE VILLAGE REPORTER The Community Pregnancy Centers of NW Ohio has been a much needed asset within our community, and the ministry has been serving since 1986. This year, they hosted the 28th spring benefit at Founders Hall in Archbold, Ohio on April 12th. The welcome was given by Bill Priest and Lynne Ford from WBCL Radio Network in Fort Wayne, IN and offered a warm welcome to those in attendance. The new CPC Executive Director, Mark Pitman, took time to acknowledge those who helped make the evening possible as well as those who have been an ongoing support to the ministry. Helen Leu, a CPC board member, shared words of appreciation for the former CPC Director Judy Van Wagner, who has given over 26 years of service to the CPC. Ms. Leu also introduced a video that was a special tribute to Ms. Van Wagner and her supportive husband, Kent, from Dr. Bruce Wilkinson
from Atlanta, GA. His video message shared how Mrs. Van Wagner has stayed true to the call that God has placed on her life. In her time with the CPC over 4000 babies have been born and countless others have made a commitment to Christ. Mrs. Van Wagner will still be a part of CPC, taking on the role of Development Director. Prior to the guest speaker, two other guests shared their personal stories. Susan St. Peter shared her testimony on Gods grace in her life
