Changes In Ohio School District Report Cards; Understanding Your Districts Scores
By: Chelsie Firestone THE VILLAGE REPORTER Well known rankings, such as "Excellent" or "Academic Emergency", found on prior years' school district report cards are now a thing of the past as The Ohio Department of Education has moved into grading Ohio schools in much the same way as students are graded. Traditional letter grades of A-F are now being assigned to nine different areas in which schools' achievement is measured. For now grades should only be interpreted as reflecting on the area in which they are given as overall district grades will not be given until 2015. Following is a listing of the areas Ohio schools are currently being grade and a brief description of what each of these areas reflects. Performance Index - the total percent of students passing state issued tests. Performance Indicators - a measure of how well students are scoring on the state issued tests. For example, a school receives more credit for students who score as "accelerated" than for those whom score as "proficient". Value Added - a complex area of evaluation that considers how much progress students grades 4-8 have made over the course of one year. One year's worth of development is equal to a grade of a C so any school receiving a higher letter grade than that can be considered to be advancing students at a more accelerated than expected rate. Value added is not calculated for students before grade 4 or after grade 8. At the high school level being able to equate yearly progress, when students from many grade levels can often be found in the same classroom, would be near impossibility. The overall value added grade can be seen at the top of the progress section of the report card and is a measure of how well the entire student population is advancing over the course of a year. Value Added is also comprised of subscores that relate to sub-populations of the student body whole. The listed subscores include gifted students, students with disabilities, and the lowest 20% in achievement. These grades are listed separately on the report card but are also taken into account in the overall value added score. The Gap Closing score is a measurement of how well a school district is doing in closing the achievement gap between differing subgroups. The intent is to ensure that all subgroups of students maintain and move towards the same achievement rate. The Gap Closing score is comprised of ten different subgroups and considers student differences such as race/ethnicity, socio-economic status, students with disabilities/ exceptionalities, and ESL (English as a Second Language) learners. There are certain things that parents and community members should keep in mind when viewing district report cards. Perhaps the most significant of these is that the days of "grade inflation" are disappearing when it comes to the grades assigned to a district. With the previous system, again known for rankings such as "Excellent" the majority of schools were able to claim what appeared to be very high scores. In comparison the new letter grade system presents itself in more of a traditional bell curve with the majority of schools performing in the C range in many areas. No school district in Ohio received straight A's on their report card whereas many in years past were able to earn "Excellent with Distinction" types of rankings. It should also be remembered, especially in areas such as ours, that overall enrollment can have a profound impact on the way a school scores. This is especially true when evaluating subgroups. In schools which may only have a handful of students in any particular subgroup, each student who does not meet the criteria deemed by the state as adequate in achievement can have a dramatic effect on the district grade. For example, if a school has only five students in a subgroup, one student failing to meet state criteria would drop the grade by 20% - the equivalent of two letter grades. In larger school districts, who may have 25 students in the same subgroup, that same one student would drop a school's score by only 4% - less than one-half of a letter grade. While this year's school district report cards are perhaps a little jarring to anyone more accustomed to the old system, it should also be remembered that no one letter grade on the report card should be interpreted as an indicator of a school's overall performance. The letter grades on this year's cards are, instead, merely an indicator of how a school is performing in each separate area and is very similar to looking at a student grade card who is given one grade in Math, one grade in Science, and still another grade in English. Overall district grades will not be given until 2015. For more information on the changes in the school district report cards or to view the individual building report cards which comprise the district grades, parents and community members are urged to visit the Ohio Department of Education website at www.education. ohio.gov.

THE VILLAGE REPORTER

With last months release of the revamped State Report Card, Superintendent Ed Ewers took the opportunity to highlight District results during the Edon Northwest Local Board of Education monthly regular session held Tuesday, September 10, 2013. President Jill Jacoby called the 5:00 p.m. meeting to order with all members and three guests in attendance. While previous State ratings Excellent with Distinction, Continuous Improvement or Academic Emergency often left many wondering their meaning, a straightforward lettergrade system seemed to be the answer to all questions. The [new] A through F Report Card is intended to remain simple, began Superintendent Ewers. ODE has said everyone understands what an A is and what an F is; it should be much easier now for our public to [review the report card] and understand exactly whats happening within our building. To prepare not only the board but the community as well, Ewers laid groundwork last spring to help them understand the new report card and to be aware there were going to be some negatives coming along with its release. One of the largest focus areas for the District has been student growth. Student growth is a well-deserved and appropriate focus, stated Superintendent Ewers. The part that becomes a bit troublesome for us is we already have a significant percentage of our students performing at an advanced and accelerated level; it becomes much more of a

challenge to move those [students] at the top level of their performance even higher. In looking and analyzing data thats out there, undeniable trends begin to emerge: districts that traditionally have been high-performers are also some of those now receiving an F in their overall progress. Again, this [somewhat] lends itself to the idea if theyre already high-performing districts, it will be much more difficult for them to show and demonstrate growth, noted Ewers. Thats what the problem is; now what to do about it. Ewers also looked at another shift as the District takes up the States new grading system. Our Grade Card previously was about meeting minimum proficiency and [a certain] standard, he shared. Now it has to be What are we doing for each student? How are we taking every individual student and moving them from where they are at ~ forward? It doesnt make any difference whether theyre at the high end or low end; [we need to concentrate on] how we are going to move our kids forward. Steps have already been taken regarding student growth, including bringing many of the Districts special needs students back into the building. I think thats a positive for us, stated Ewers. We probably now have [a better] control over their curriculum. Theyll gain greater access to the core curriculum, which is essential if they are going to perform [beyond] the limited or basic level. Additional progress has been made regarding new teacher evaluations and one of its components, student growth. We are

diligently working with [our teachers] having them focus on data [for student growth] and analyzing it to create lessons that are appropriate for every student. Ewers reiterated again that its not necessarily about mastery of content; its about moving students ahead of where theyre at. If were not able to [move kids forward], well continue to receive letter grades that none of us will be happy with or be encouraged by. This is the document that we have; the system we have, concluded Ewers. Certainly we can understand how they arrived at some of these marks, but there is still work to do ~ how do we address each individual students needs and how do we work on moving each student forward. We have room for improvement ~ no question about it ~ and were making strides to [assure] we do just that. There is good news in that we recognize weaknesses we have and that we are addressing them. For more information on the 2012-2013 State Report Card, feel free to contact Superintendent Ewers or visit the Ohio Department of Education website at www.education. ohio.gov and follow the link under Community Resources. Highlights from Septembers Board Reports included: Treasurer Kerry Samples Shared the new, complex State Funding Formula would decrease money not only for each student lost to the District but for all enrolled students (previously, a flat amount was funded/ lost per student); 20132014 ADM (Average Daily Membership) Counts would be taken once

Package. Also included are a Centralized Hydraulics System and the installation of all on the 2014 Ford F-550 Cab and Chassis. Resolution 1060, a resolution allowing the village manager to advertise for bid and contract for the Waste Water Treatment Plants Headworks screen project for the Village of Montpelier was passed. The treatment plant is in need of a screen that will take out plastics from waste sludge. The plant must screen all sludge due to the way that it is disposed of. This is required by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. Ordinances 2159 and 2160 were read in their first reading. These ordinances address the necessary raise in water and sewage service rates, and amend a code providing for increases in service charges, special charges, and swimming pool and bulk water sales, and reduction in charges for leaks. There are certain conditions that must be met in order to be eligible for a reduction in the cost of water due to leaks. There is no reduction in charges for sewer use. The rates will be raised in increments, and will go up on the following dates: January 1, 2014; July 1, 2014; January 1, 2015; AND July 1, 2015, for a total $4 raise for water rates, and $3 for sewer rates. For those wanting further information, changes will be posted in the town hall. Council voted to allow Millers New Market to apply for renewal for the license with the Liquor Control Board. The police chief has no objection to this renewal. Income tax collection for the month ending August 31, 2013 was 1,218,919.21. This compares with August month end for 1,242,745.35 in 2012 and 1,052,591.30 in 2011. Council went into executive session to discuss sales of property, and no action was taken. The meeting was adjourned upon return to regular session. The next meeting of the Montpelier Village Council will be on September 24, 2013 at 7:30 p.m. at the police station meeting room.

Montpelier Village Council To Raise Service Rates

By: Kay Raypholtz THE VILLAGE REPORTER Village Manager Pam Lucas prefaced the councils regular meeting on Monday, September 9 by thanking village employees for their work getting things ready for the annual Williams County Fair. She also said that Scott Gordon and Ryan ONeal were resigning as baseball commissioners. She said that they would surely be missed. Following recommendations from engineer and consultant John Courtney who recently completed an intensive evaluation of the villages water and sewer rates, the village council agreed to raise service rates in increments over the next few months. Upon studying the villages books, it was found that funds have been decreasing over the last three years due to mandatory CSO sanitary sewer work in the town that was mandated by the state. Before jumping into the discussion on water rates, council voted to pass Resolution 1057 a resolution to amend appropriations for current expenses and other expenditures of the Village of Montpelier, State of Ohio, during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013. Additionally, council passed Resolution 1058, a resolution authorizing the village manager to purchase one 2014 Ford F-550 4-wheel drive cab and chassis. This resolution will allow the village manager to purchase the vehicle from Maxton Motors at a price of no more than $33,000, though a similar vehicle was found for less. This vehicle will be used by the street department. Council also passed Resolution 1059, a resolution allowing the village manager to purchase a dump body package and 9 steel snow plow package, including a hydraulics system and installation. This will allow the village to purchase the accompanying add-ons so that the Ford F-550 can have a dump component and a snow plow. Council approved the following purchase from Kalida Truck Equipment, Inc.: a Galion Model #100USD Nine Foot Dump Body Package, a Western Model Steel Ultra Mount Pro Plus Snow Plow

Where Were You On That Morning In History?

MORE LOCAL NEWS: SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2001

The Village Reporter recently asked readers on our facebook page to recollect memories of where they were on the morning of September 11, 2001. Many of you have shared your stories of where you stood during Americas darkest hours.
I was in an airplane on my final decent into Newark airport when the pilot said over the intercom "we are going to circle for a few moments as a commuter airplane has hit the tower. If you look out the right side of the plane you will be able to see it". We all looked out and saw the tower. A few moments later we were informed we would head onto Logan airport in Boston as it was going to be longer than they thought. The pilot and crew of course knew what was happening. Flight attendants and the co pilot walked the isles looking for terrorists not letting any passenger know what was really happening. The story goes on as myself and other passengers, stranded in Boston, tried to get a room at the Hilton where two groups of terrorists had stayed. The hotel was closed by the FBI needless to say. This is where I was when this day happened. Tears still fill my eyes as I type. Please remember people, no matter race, creed, religion, or political view ...we need to stand together in brotherly love for our great nation. -Kristi Mooney Shaffer, USAF Veteran I was on the phone with my bestie, when the first plane hit. We thought it was an accident. Then the second plane hit and we sat in horror barely speaking...just staring at the tv and listening to one anothers nervous breathing. Then she said, This is why I hate Doug working at the Pentagon. It seems like a likely target... BAM! Then the horror increased tenfold as we both consoled one another until our husbands were finally home nearly 8 hours later -Linda Bodkin Harris At the dentist with my then 5 year old for his check up, had no idea what had happened when the dental assistant came into the exam room and said that the second tower had gone down. -Jamie Rock I had just gotten home from work, worked 3rd shift then, and was just watching the morning talk shows and couldnt believe it when they started showing it, just couldnt comprehend that it was happening, like it was a bad dream or something...was a very sad day...never forgotten -Donya Ruetz Harrington I was in second grade I just remember my teachers being really scared as we watch the news. -Justin Johnson Student teaching, giving standardized tests to my 6th grade students. We heard wailing in the hallway, as another teacher was watching the news on their break. Over the next few days, those students came with so many concerns and questions and fears... And answers were hard to find... -Patty Sue Brown I went to work as a hair dresser that morning. We had the radio on when they reported the Pentagon crash a lady getting her nails done went hysterical ! Crying, grabbing her phone, my dad ! My dad! She could not reach him... At least an hour went by until she found out he was ok. The plan had hit the other side.... And other dads were gone. We closed shop and went home. -Cheryl Mull Wesolowski Working on a tube mill in Delta. Within a week a recruiter was at my house and within a year I was on my first of three deployment to the BOX. -Troy Shoemaker I was in NYC across the street from the Flatiron Building Broadway and 23rd. Someone came into our showroom and asked if we had a TV because they heard a plane hit a building downtown. We didnt so we walked outside and could see the hole from the first plane. It looked fake. We couldnt believe our eyes. We ran back inside and found a TV. Saw the second plane hit on TV. Ran back outside onto Broadway with a straight shot to the towers. I saw both towers come down. Surreal. -Lori Hattan Roth I was pulling a double shift at the Daily Telegram in Adrian, MI. Many of the staff members were brought to tears after 15 straight hours of staring at pictures on the wire and the hundreds of stories that were pouring in. -Bill Bray I was working at the Cadman Plaza Post office at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge In Brooklyn NY. I was 5 miles as the crow flies from WTC -Edna Ruscigno I was a Freshman in high school heading to Miss Bruners class. We watched the news for a while at school. Very surreal... -Christina Singer

Wreaths Across America Ceremony To Be Held In West Unity

By: Tammy Allison THE VILLAGE REPORTER Christmas may seem months away, but Michael Frybarger of West Unity is already preparing for an annual event near and dear to his heart-Wreaths Across America. This event honors and remembers our veterans through a special December ceremony and laying of wreaths on veterans gravesites. Due to efforts on his part, Floral Grove Cemetery in West Unity has been added to the official list of cemeteries open for wreath sponsorships on the Wreaths Across America list. Wreaths Across America began as a small act of gratitude. In 1992, Morrill Worcester of Worcester Wreath Company in Maine had a surplus of 5000 wreaths at Christmastime. Impacted by a childhood visit to the Arlington National Cemetery, he wanted to honor the nations fallen heroes with the wreaths. With the assistance of a state senator, his idea was approved to place the wreaths on the graves in an older part of the cemetery. Since then with the help of volunteers, the project has grown into a national effort to honor our nations heroes laid to rest at ceremonies throughout the country. Frybarger who has been involved with the project since 2007 after meeting Worcester has volunteered in past years to deliver wreaths to Arlington Cemetery. This year, he plans to be at the Floral Grove Cemetery in West Unity for the wreath laying ceremony on December 14. Altogether, there are 347 veteran graves in this cemetery. He acknowledges that this is no small undertaking and is reaching out to the community for support. Small wreaths cost $15 and this is considered a tax deductible gift as Wreaths Across America is a 501C3 charity. Businesses, civic groups, and individuals are encouraged to sponsor wreaths. Frybarger will be set up at the Bryan WalMart Saturday, September 30 and Saturday, October 26 from 10-2 to accept donations. He is also looking for participation in the ceremony on December 14. He is seeking someone from each branch of the military to participate in the ceremony. There will be a ceremonial wreath dedicated to each branch of service. The community is invited to attend the ceremony to be held on Saturday, December 14, 2013 at 10:30 in the morning. Floral Grove Cemetery is located at 21184 County Road K outside West Unity. Volunteers will be needed to help place the wreaths that morning. Frybarger shares that Wreaths Across America is pretty dear to my heart. The first time he met Worcester, he shared his vision with him-it would be great if some day all the veterans got a wreath. He hopes to build interest and inspire others to carry this mission into their own communities to honor veterans in other cemeteries. For more information about sponsoring a wreath at Floral Grove Cemetery or to inquire about adding a new cemetery, Frybarger can be reached by email at wreathsforfloralgrove@ gmail.com or stop by and see him at Wal-mart September 30 or October 26. A detailed website can be accessed at http://give. wreathsacrossamerica. o r g / s i t e / T R ? f r _ id=1290&pg=entry#. UjERYcZOOSo. Together, we can honor and remember those who sacrificed for our beloved nation. In the words of former President Coolidge, The nation which forgets its defenders will be itself forgotten. Wreaths Across America wants us all to remember the heroes who have served with the simple act of placing a wreath. Frybarger is hopeful all 347 veterans graves will be sponsored with the communitys support. Tammy Allison may be reached at

FCCC & Henry County Sheriffs Department Collaborate On Active Shooter Response Program

MORE WILLIAMS & FULTON COUNTY AREA NEWS

Four County Career Center and the Henry County Sheriffs Department are working together to put in place a new active shooter response program for the Career Center. Staff members have received training in the national acclaimed program called A.L.I.C.E. (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate). This program takes a real look into an active shooter situation and teaches staff and students what tactical advantages they have if a situation might occur that could keep them alive. The program is divided into five steps and every step is important. During their training, staff were given several scenarios in which they role played with the assistance of Career Center Law Enforcement & Security Tactics instructor, Kevin Thomas (SECOND LEFT) and Henry County Deputy Vincent Fisher (FAR RIGHT) as the "active shooters." After each scenario the staff had time to discuss the responses that worked and those that could be improved upon with Henry County Sergeant Shawn Wymer (SECOND RIGHT). This also gave the school the opportunity to see where other instances of communication during an active shooter situation could be improved. Jason Blue, Social Studies instructor, (FAR LEFT) is shown during one of those discussions. The A.L.I.C.E. program shows multiple steps where evacuating and getting away from the situation as fast as possible is very important. Four County Career Center and the Henry County Sheriffs Department are not teaching staff and students fighting techniques. They are teaching survival strategies that will save lives in the event of an active shooter situation. No part of this program should be taken out of context and portray it as something that would put staff and students at risk unnecessarily. "The safety of the students and staff is our only concern and we believe this program provides the best chance at staying alive in an active shooter situation," said the Director of Career and Technical Education, Rick Bachman.

REPORT CARDS ... The Ohio Department of Education has revamped the way they issue school district report cards. Now issuing letter grades for each of nine criteria, past rankings such as "Excellent" are now a thing of the past.

ADAMhs Board CEO Les McCaslin explained many of the clients served by agencies funded by the board do not have a regular primary care doctor to manage their overall health, so last year the board contracted with Health Partners of Lima to establish a physicians office and pharmacy at two agency sites. The initial, startup contract totaled $670,000 to provide suitable office space and resources to hire a fulltime primary care doctor, a pharmacist, two nurse practitioners and support staff. The contract is yielding greater savings more quickly than I had anticipated, McCaslin told the board. By using Health Partners pharmacy for psychiatric medications instead of the states central pharmacy, our savings on medications will pay for this years contract in about six months. Not only is the contract saving taxpayer dollars, the overall health of ADAMhsfunded clients is better, McCaslin explained. Physical health issues such as diabetes and heart risk factors such as cholesterol and hypertension are now being monitored and treated before serious complications occur or re-occur. McCaslin also reported that another change taken by the board last year is realizing significant savings. A contract with the Fulton County Health Center to use the Stress Unit for short-term crisis stabilization will save at least $500,000 this year. Other action taken by the board, includes: A $30,000 contract with ProMedica Defiance Regional Hospital to provide inpatient psychiatric services during the current fiscal year. A $75,000 increase in Maumee Valley Guidance Centers contract with the board. A $48,163 increase in Recovery Services of Northwest Ohios contract with the board as a result of gambling prevention and treatment funding that has been received from the Ohio Department of Mental Health Services and Addictions. This money must be spent on gambling-related prevention and treatment services. A $90,000 contract with Quadco Rehabilitation Center for Title XX money that has been received by the board to be used for vocational and employment services. A $5,000 reimbursement to the Henry County Health Department, representing the boards share of the cost of the recent Henry County health needs assessment. A $500 expenditure to Family Services of Northwest Ohio to support costs associated with the One Step At A Time 5K run/walk for teen suicide awareness and prevention. The board also approved a resolution accepting the Four County Budget Commissions determination of the need for two, 7/10ths of one mill property taxes to support the ADAMhs Board and its services. One of the 7/10ths mill property taxes is on the November ballot as a renewal levy. Three new board members were introduced. Margie Rinkel of rural Bryan and retired treasurer of Edgerton Local Schools was appointed to a four year term by the Williams County commissioners. Two of the new members were appointed by the Ohio Department of Mental Health Services and Addictions. Sherri Hammersmith of Defiance was appointed to a four year term and former ADAMhs Board member Sandi Weirauch of Napoleon was appointed to fill a vacancy expiring at the end of June 2016.

FULTON WILLIAMS

WAUSEON AREA NEWS

T H E V I L L AG E R E P O R T E R

CONTINUED FROM THE FRONT PAGE Changes In Ohio School District Report Wauseon Board of Cards; Understanding Your Districts Scores Education Commends ...
The resignation for the purposes of retirement of Jay Magee as a WMS Science Teacher and Aquatics Director, effective December 31, 2013. The resignation of Julie Myers as Assistant to Treasurer/Payroll, effective September 20, 2013. Vicki Kline as a substitute van driver for the 2013-14 school year. The board also heard from all building principals regarding current enrollment, each individual building's report card, and progress with the new OTES (Ohio Teachers Evaluation System) guidelines, which call for a large commitment from both teachers and administrators in terms of professional development, the collection of data and evidence, and observation time. The board also heard during the principals' reports that the after school program funded by the 21st Century Grant will be coming to a close this year and that all funds will be exhausted. Due to having only half the budget the program has enjoyed in the past, the maximum amount of students will also be cut in half as to not cut the quality of the product. A strict and extensive formula is used to select from the students, limited to only a total of 45 this school year, who apply for the program. The selection process is based on both financial and academic needs. At the end of the meeting changes in OHSAA guidelines involving changing school districts and how this might affect open enrollment were also discussed. Wauseon's policy, which was adopted in 2008, has a deadline of application of June 1 each year. Due to this date having already passed, the school year being already underway, and the need for more information, the board has elected to leave the policy as it is for the current school year but to perform a study on how differing open enrollment policies might affect the school system.

REPORT CARDS ...The Ohio Department of Education has revamped the way they issue school district report cards. Now issuing letter grades for each of nine criteria, past rankings such as "Excellent" are now a thing of the past. For more information on how to interpret your school district's report card and how the evaluation of Ohio schools has changed please see the related article on page 8.

Four County Suicide Prevention Solve The Mystery At The Wauseon Coalition Recognizes Public Librarys Book Discussion Group September As Suicide Awareness Month
The Four County Suicide Prevention Coalition joins with other entities across the country in recognizing September as Suicide Awareness Month. In up to seventy percent of all suicide deaths there was some kind of warning sign before the individuals death. Out of sight out of mind will not make this health problem go away, says Carolyn Givens director of the Ohio Suicide Prevention Foundation. Raising awareness and educating the public about this public health concern is a major goal of the Four County Suicide Prevention Coalition. Throughout the month of September the coalition will run several awareness campaigns in the four counties it serves. Several schools will host a Yellow Ribbon Campaign displaying yellow ribbons throughout their community. Each participating school is given a supply of yellow ribbon and sidewalk chalk from the coalition. With those supplies the school is allowed the creative freedom to further develop their campaign, the only stipulation being, they spread the message Depression is Treatable, Suicide is Preventable. The coalition will also hold a Stomp on the Stigma campaign on the campuses of Defiance College and Northwest State Community College. This campaign is a very powerful visual awareness tool created by the coalition. It is featured in the state of Ohios Suicide Prevention Plan which is shared with states across the country as well as in Washington D.C. The campaign displays 180 pairs of old shoes that have been donated. Each pair of shoes represents a young life lost to suicide in Ohio. In 2010, 180 young people in the state of Ohio died by suicide. This campaign is held in conjunction with the One Step At A Time 5K at Defiance College, which is another initiate of the coalition. Efforts to emphasize the importance of acknowledging suicide and its signs are not only occurring at the local level but also at the state level. This past summer Governor Kasich signed House Bill 149 into law declaring September 10 as Ohio Suicide Prevention day. It gives me great hope that by designating September 10th as Ohio Suicide Prevention Day, we can provide education to everyone and help those who are struggling, said State Rep. and sponsor of the bill, Marlene Anielski For information on signs of depression and suicide visit www. suicidepreventionlifeline.org/ The Four County Suicide Prevention Coalition which is a collaboration of community members from Defiance, Fulton, Henry and Williams counties meets the fourth Thursday of the month at 7:30am at the Four County ADAMhs Board, T-761 State Route 66 south of Archbold. The lead agency in the coalition is Four County Family Center which operates from its main office at 7320 St. Hwy 108 Suite A, Wauseon, Ohio, as well as offices in Defiance, Bryan and Napoleon. For more information on locations and available services, you may call Four County Family Center at 1-800693-6000 or visit www.fsno.org. INFORMATION PROVIDED
Solve the mystery in Sally Goldenbaums Seaside Knitters Mystery series. On September 24 at 6:30 p.m., the Mystery Book Discussion Group will be discussing Death by Cashmere in the Wauseon Public Librarys meeting room. The book discussion is free and is open to everyone. According to the book jacket, "Not long after Isabel 'Izzy' Chambers opens up a knitting shop in the sleepy fishing town of Sea Harbor, Massachusetts, a diverse group of women begins congregating each week to form the Seaside Knitters. Izzy's upstairs neighbor, Angie Archer, is discovered drowned in the harbor, her long red hair

tangled like seaweed in a lobster trap. An official investigation rules the death an accident, and speculations abound: too many whiskey sours, a slippery wharf, a dark night. But Izzy and the Seaside Knitters smell something fishy, and soon decide to take matters into their own hands." The library has ordered copies of the book discussion book, so each group member may have one. Please stop by the library, and pick up your copy today. For more information on the book discussion groups, contact the Wauseon Public Library at amy.murphy@oplin.org or call 419-3356626.

Area Students To Participate In Ag Fest 2013 September 24th & 25th At Fulton County Fairgrounds
Nearly 1000 students from schools throughout Fulton County will be attending the ninth annual Fulton County Ag Fest at the Fulton County Fairgrounds in Wauseon. This event will be held on Tuesday, September 24th and Wednesday, September 25th from 9:00 a.m. 2:00 p.m. Organized by the Fulton County Soil and Water Conservation District, Ag Fest is a two day event that will be attended by approximately 1000 third and fourth grade students from Archbold, Pike Delta York, Pettisville, Evergreen, Fayette and Swanton school districts. Students from St. Richards and Holy Trinity will also be joining in the fun-filled education. Students will receive lunch and a t-shirt and the teachers receive a packet of resources to take back and utilize in the classroom or at home. During the Ag Fest experience, students will spend the day rotating around to 10 different stations where they will learn about agricultural related topics such as wool/spinning, dairy, bees, soil types, agriculture, farm safety, goats and hog farming. Other topics of interest include draft horses, rope making, blacksmithing, Native American history and much more. Knowledgeable presenters from throughout Northwest Ohio are dedicating their time to help teach our youth the importance of agriculture. All of the sessions have been correlated with state curriculum standards for language arts, science, and social studies. The sessions were correlated to the standards with assistance from the Northwest Ohio Educational Service Center. This event could not have happened without the help of several committee members and various organizations who helped sponsor Ag Fest 2013.

Purple Ribbons Raise Suicide Prevention Awareness Throughout Fulton & Williams Counties
By: Tammy Allison THE VILLAGE REPORTER For many people, September symbolizes the end of summer, but the month also marks a time to raise awareness for an often taboo topic-suicide. National Suicide Prevention Month, acknowledged every September, strives to raise awareness and end the heartbreaking effects of suicide. Specifically, this year marks the 39th Annual National Suicide Prevention week from September 8-14 with Worldwide Suicide Prevention Day being the 9th. The United States Military also recognizes the month as Military Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. Suicide is the tenth leading cause of death in this country and in 2012, 350 people in the military took their own life. Its an issue worth talking about, and members in our community are doing just that. Depression is treatable, suicide is preventable, says Tante Lovins, a prevention specialist and the coordinator of the Four County Suicide Prevention Coalition. The Coalition is working with many area schools to raise awareness among both middle and high school students. Area schools participating in Fulton and Williams counties include Wauseon, Evergreen, Archbold, North Central, Hilltop, Edgerton, and Montpelier. The schools are supplied with awareness packs of yellow ribbons and sidewalk chalk and the sky is the limit for the different ways they choose to utilize the material. A yellow ribbon is used to symbolize the awareness for suicide. Purple, another ribbon color used to symbolize suicide awareness and prevention, serves as a reminder that suicide is an issue that needs to be talked about. In the community of Wauseon, Mayor Doug Shaw recently proclaimed September as Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. In this community, purple ribbons are available at the area PNC Bank, Farmers and Merchant State Banks, and First Federal Banks. Sherryann Franks, who works with the Wauseon VFW and American Legion, is specifically concerned about the impact of depression and suicide in the military. While her focus lies with the military, she feels that the community in general needs to recognize the warning signs of suicide. She recently spoke to the Wauseon Rotary group about the topic. Franks says, It [suicide] is on the rise. We cant give up. There is hope, always have patience. The purple ribbons are available to the community through the month at no cost. She says the biggest donation the community can make is to wear them to raise awareness. There are several warning signs of suicide such as talk about death, feeling hopeless or being a burden to others, increased use of alcohol or drugs, increased anxiousness or agitation, sleeping too much or not enough, withdrawal from others, rage, and extreme mood swings. If you or someone you knows is experiencing these symptoms, seek professional help. The US National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is available 24/7 at 1-800-273-TALK (8255). If you would like to be a part of the community efforts to raise awareness, you might consider being a part of the One Step at a Time 5K Run and Walk to be held Saturday, September 28 at the Defiance College. A Stomp on the Stigma display of 180 shoes will be displayed the week prior and at the walk. This powerful visual display symbolizes the 180 youth suicides that occurred in Ohio in 2010. For more information about the event or suicide prevention resources, you can contact Tante Lovins at the Four County Family Center at 419-335-3732. Regardless of whether the ribbon worn is yellow or purple, the message is still the same. Tante Lovins says, It is a huge stigma. We are still fighting. Suicide is preventable and together we can help those who need hope. Tammy Allison may be reached at publisher@thevillagereporter.com

Devotional Thought / Fellowship of Christian Athletes

By: Rex Stump - Pray Like A 7th Grader!
The county fairs are coming to a close, trips to the lake are winding down, school has started, and athletic events are in full swing! We move from one season to the next, one busy time to another, and every now and then something takes place in our life to cause us to stop and evaluate life. Just recently, a young girl reminded us all that we need to stop I think we can all learn a few lessons from this 7th grade girl including, boldness, love, and lessons in prayer! How about one simple thought today? Go pray! Jesus told His disciples, and us, that we should be persistent and honest in talking to God. Luke 11:9-13 says, And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. You fathersif your children ask for a fish, do you give them a snake instead? Or if they ask for an egg, do you give them a scorpion? Of course not! So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him. God wants to hear from us. Lead your team, your co-workers, or your family in prayer. Its real simple you just talk to God like a friend. Circle up your teamand pray! For more reading, check out Luke 11:1-13, Romans 12:14, and Ephesians 6:18.

and take timeto pray. It was Monday, August 26th and the Delta 7th Grade Girls Volleyball team was planning to play their first volleyball game against Fayette Middle school. However, the game was cancelled due to the awful death of a Fayette high school student. Since the game was cancelled, the Delta girls still had practice after school. When the practice was over, one of the 7th grade girls went to the coach and suggested that they pray for the girls family who had passed away. The team stood in a circle and held hands as this 7th grade girl led the team in prayer! After the prayer was over, the 7th graders looked over and the 8th grade girls just stared at them. One girl in particular came up to the girl who prayed and asked Was that you talking? The 7th grader replied I wasnt just talking I was praying for Mikaylas family. The 8th grader said How did you learn to do that? Do what? Pray? It is just talking to God, she said. The 8th grader replied, I wouldnt have any idea what to say. My family isnt religious at all. This precious 7th grade girl said you dont have to be religious to talk to God. You just talk to him like a friend. The girl just stood there not knowing what to say. This is what she has learned from her family, her faith, and her involvement in FCA!

Winning The Battle For A Generation

Have You EVER BARGAINED WITH GOD?
Have you ever tried to bargain with God? You know, you promise God if He does something for you, you will do something for him. Bargaining with God as the following story goes, usually ends up with our desire to not keep our word. Leighton Farrell was the minister of Highland Park Church in Dallas for many years. He tells of a man in the church who once made a covenant with a former pastor to tithe 10 percent of their income every year. They were both young, and neither of them had much money; but things changed. The layman tithed $1,000 the year he earned $10,000. He tithed $10,000 the year he earned $100,000, and he tithed $100,000 the year he earned one million. The year he earned $6,000,000, he just could not bring himself to write out that check for $600,000 to the church. He telephoned the minister, long since having moved to another church, and asked to see him. Walking into the pastors office, the man begged to be let out of the covenant, saying, This tithing business has to stop. It was fine when my tithe was $1,000; but I just cannot afford $600,000. Youve got to do something, Reverend! The pastor knelt on the floor and prayed silently for a long time. Eventually the man said, What are you doing? Are you praying that God will let me out of the covenant to tithe? No, said the minister. I am praying for God to reduce your income back to the level where $1,000 will be your tithe! (from sermon by Bob Younts, eSermons.com). With respect to keeping our word/commitments to the Lord, we are told in Matthew 5:33-37 (NASB), 33 Again, you have heard that the ancients were told, YOU SHALL NOT MAKE FALSE VOWS, BUT SHALL FULFILL YOUR VOWS TO THE LORD. 34 But I say to you, make no oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, 35 or by the earth, for it is the footstool of His feet, or by Jerusalem, for it is THE CITY OF THE GREAT KING. 36 Nor shall you make an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 But let your statement be, Yes, yes or No, no; anything beyond these is of evil.
