Community Members Respond Well To New Montpelier American Legion Hosts Fundraiser Ordinance Prohibiting Selling Synthetic For Bob Beck, Additional Event Scheduled Drugs At Montpelier's Council Meeting
By: Jennifer Manlove The Village of Montpelier Council Meeting opened Monday evening in prayer led by Helena Morris. There was a full house as many community members were waiting to hear the discussion one of the ordinances to be addressed. The meeting began and agenda, minutes, and financial reports were all approved. Several members of the council audiences were high school senior government students and they were warmly welcomed by Mayor Yagelski and invited to ask questions throughout the meeting if needed. Montpelier Police Chief Dan McGee and Officers of the Montpelier Police Department joined the meeting to discuss The Patch display and Honor Wall that is located inside the police department. The wall was dedicated during the meeting. This was made possible through the generosity and in loving memory of Charles and Norma Clymer. A nice plaque was present to Sgt. Jennifer Hern, as Mr. and Mrs. Clymer were her grandparents. Sgt. Hern was joined by her parents and significant other for this special event. The council and community members were invited to view the wall prior to the executive session. The council moved on to accepted the resignation from Scott Warner from the Montpelier Fire Department. Mr. Warner has served on the department for more than fourteen years, and it was with regret that his resignation was accepted. Mr. Warners work demands have lessened his availability to serve and he will be greatly missed by the department and the community. Next, council was presented with motions to approve the appointment of both Hannah Seiler and Alex Yagelski to the Fire Department. Both were accepted. The Fire Department now has 30 firefighters serving. Council had the third reading and passage of Ordinance 2159 concerning an increase in water rates and Ordinance 2160 concerning the increase of sewage rates. Ordinance 2159 amends certain sections of chapter 933, water. Of the Montpelier code which amendments provide for increases in service charges, special charges, and swimming pool and bulk water sales with a reduction for leaks as of January 1, 2014, July 1, 2015 and July 1, 2015. Ordinance 2160 is an ordinance amending section 929.03 sewers, of the Montpelier code which amendments provide for increases in service charges as of November 1, 213 and July 1, 2014. Both ordinances became in full force and effective immediately upon their passages. Ordinance 2161 was addressed in front of many concerned community members. This ordinance was to amend chapter 513 of the codified ordinances of the village of Montpelier, Ohio to include section 513.15 prohibiting the manufacture, sale, distribution and possession of synthetic drugs and synthetic lookalike substances. Several community members gave input as to why this needed to be passed, several with personal impact statements. A man also spoke up during this time stating that he was the owner of S&M in Montpelier. S&M is a local business that has faced scrutiny for selling the synthetic drugs. The man said that his store does not sell to minors and that he took no responsibility for what consumers do with the products that he sells. He stated that he has video surveillance set up to ensure that no minors come into his store. He directed those present to put their efforts into addressing the fighting that occurs as a result of having a bar in the town. He asked that he be informed as soon as possible if he would need to remove the substances from his store, and that he had no issues complying. He left the meeting stating that it is an individuals decision to misuse flame retardant products, and that he personally uses the products as a potpourri. The council members suspended the three reading rule and passed the ordinance unanimously. The decision was received well by the community members present. For anyone who would like to read this new ordinance in its entirety that can see this at the Village of Montpeliers Website.

National Drug Take Back Day: Dont Hold On To That Old Medicine!
Dont hold on to that old medicine! Medications do expire, and they are prescribed for specific problems, not as general drugs to cure whatever ails you. The National Drug Take Back Day on Saturday, October 26th is an opportunity to get rid of unused or expired prescription or over-the-counter medications. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration. For the safety of our Fulton County youth and families, the Archbold, Delta and Wauseon Police Departments in cooperation with area pharmacies and volunteers from Healthy Choices Caring Communities (HC3) are giving our community an opportunity to dispose of unwanted medications. Police Department Officers and HC3 volunteers will be set up at 5 different locations on Saturday, October 26th from 10 am until 2 pm to accept tablets, capsules and all other SOLID dosage forms. Intravenous solutions, injectibles and syringes will NOT be accepted. Medication Drop Off Sites include:

Fulton County Receives Grant To Continue Working Towards Zero Traffic Deaths
Mike Oricko, Health Commissioner, announces the receipt of $31,841.52 to continue promoting safe driving in Fulton County. I am pleased to announce that we have been awarded these funds as the Fulton County Safe Communities, and the opportunity to do all we can to reduce the number of traffic fatalities on the roadways of our community, stated Mike Oricko. Wauseon Police Chief, Keith Torbet is also encouraged by the money received, It is imperative to not only enforce the laws regarding traffic safety, but to continue our efforts to improve visibility of my deputies and to add education to complete our vision of a safer Fulton County. The grant through the Ohio Department of Public Safetys Traffic Safety Office, is funded by monies provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The Safe Communities approach is to create a community-based initiative where the expansion of resources and partnerships brings awareness for the need of traffic safety education and public awareness. The mission of Fulton County Safe Communities is to create safety programs and provide enforcement serving all communities in the Fulton County area that will lend to reducing traffic-related injuries and fatalities. In 2012 there were 14 fatalities related to vehicle accidents. That number more than doubles the 2011 statistics. Many partners are working together to decrease those numbers including law enforcement, ODOT, emergency services, county engineers, county commissioners, health department, county extension office, local insurance businesses and public safety. The need to add awareness of traffic safety issues with enforcement is a great concern for our county, especially for our younger drivers, noted Chief Torbet. Awareness and education is key to saving lives. If through education, we can get people to realize how they can increase their safety by merely putting on a seatbelt or not driving impaired, we have succeeded and used this grant well, Chief Torbet said. The costs associated with the loss of life cannot be measured in dollars and cents, especially to those who lose someone they care about. The Fulton County Sheriffs Office also has a grant through the Ohio Traffic Safety Office for High Visibility Enforcement during major Holidays and National Mobilizations Blitzes such a Click It Or Ticket and Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over. This grant will add to the efforts of the Sheriffs Office to make traffic safety a priority of the Office, and for the safety of citizens and visitors to the area. For more information regarding Fulton County Safe Communities, contact Rachel Kinsman, Fulton County Health Department at 419-337-0915.

Phil Ennen-CHWC President & CEO Addresses Montpelier Hospital Auxiliary
Montpelier Community Of Faith Holds First Public Meeting

DONATION ... Phil Ennen, CHWC President & CEO, right, was speaker for the Montpelier Hospital Auxiliary meeting held Monday, Oct. 14th. Pictured with him at left is Auxiliary Treasurer Barb Dietsch who presented a donation of $1000 for the CHWC Share Foundation. The auxiliary also donated additional artwork by local artists Deb Clum and Bobbie Schlosser for display at the Montpelier Hospital.
Phil Ennen, President and CEO of Community Hospitals & Wellness Centers, addressed members of the Montpelier Hospital Auxiliary at their first meeting of the new 2013-14 year on Monday, Oct. 14th in the conference room at the local hospital. He was introduced by Auxiliary President Deanna Gipe. Mr. Ennen spoke about the economics of health care changing dramatically this year and several factors have impacted the number of patients at both facilities at Bryan and Montpelier. Among the reasons for reduced rehabilitation patients are the overall economy, some patients not requiring these services as often, more competition in other facilities offering rehab care, certain insurance companies not willing to negotiate acceptable rates covering hospital costs for these services, and an overall reduction in the number of patients using rehab services all over northwest Ohio. Implementation of the Health Care Reform includes dealing with changes and updates with information forthcoming. He also indicated that recruiting efforts are ongoing for additional staff physicians and surgeons. Positive effects
are being seen with the recent opening of the Pain Management services. Mr. Ennen also remarked about ongoing building improvements at Montpelier with additional artwork, and excellent ratings for the hospital cafeteria food service. Replacement of carpeting is scheduled for this coming February. Both Montpelier and Bryan facilities have excelled in providing a comfortable atmosphere for patients and staff. Regarding the auxiliary, Mr. Ennen commended the members for their volunteer work and all assistance is appreciated, especially creating a positive attitude. The auxiliarys hospital gift shop at Montpelier, which is open to the public, was discussed. He also clarified that while the Bryan, Montpelier and Archbold physicians group is operated by Parkview-Ft. Wayne, Ind., both CHWC Bryan and Montpelier hospitals are still an independent corporation. Following his talk, Mr. Ennen was presented with a $1000 donation from the auxiliary by Treasurer Barb Dietsch for the CHWC Share Foundation, a separate charity to assist patients requesting financial help upon approved individual application.

Dr. Jamie Grime, Montpeliers Superintendent, spoke about the danger of bullying that is on the rise in schools around the country and the need for the community to stand up to bullying and other negative behaviors. Pastor Benaiah Harris of the House the Prayer spoke on the simple method of just being a positive presence for the children in our community. Mrs. Connie Graham, Montpeliers Elementary Principal, spoke about those children who need encouragement in our school. There are so many children who recoil from a hug or encouragement but she has committed to them: I wont give up on you. These comments added to the details of the initiative that were presented by Chris Kannel. Mr. Kannel described the activities of the Montpelier Community of Faith as: the first small steps to get the Christian people of our community engaged in support of the mission of our school. The Community of Faith hopes to recruit adult volunteers for
two activities: 1. Bus Stop Monitors will arrive before the children at the two largest bus stops in the community: Storrer Park on Platt Street and New Beginnings Church on Broad Street. Volunteers will be asked to commit up to 45 minutes one morning per week to watch for bullying and other dangerous activities and to be a proactive role model for kindness for the children at the bus stop. 2. Greeters will greet children at the door of the school. Volunteers will be asked to commit up to 1 hour one morning per week to welcome children to school for the day. School staff have some suggestions for these volunteers after the children have come in the door which is still to be determined. The next meeting will be a training and coordination session to get volunteers ready to help the children. This meeting will be held at multiple times to accommodate various schedules: Tuesday, November 12 and Thursday, November 14, both at 7:00 PM in the schools Auditeria.

The investment. This is a 7/10ths of one mill renewal that would be collected for 5 years. It is not a new tax. In fact, it was first approved for the ADAMhs Board in 1989 and voters have approved it 4 times since then. For the owner of a $100,000 home, approval of the renewal will cost about $20.95 a year the same amount the owner is now paying. For the ADAMhs Board, approval means about $2.15 million a year, or 20 percent of the boards total revenue. The benefit. More than 5,700 Four County children and adults with limited

FOR
VOTE
Innovative, cost-effective changes. Since this renewal was last

approved, the ADAMhs Board has lost $1.6 million in state mental health funding. As a result, the board has made changes and developed new partnerships to save money without reducing services. For example, new partnerships will save $600,000 a year in medication costs and at least $120,000 a year in short-term mental health crisis stabilization costs.
Please vote for the ADAMhs Board mental health renewal...a small investment yielding big returns since 1989.

Edon Northwest Local Schools had a special guest last Friday when State School Superintendent of Public Instruction Dr. Richard Ross stopped by to tour the facility and speak with school administrators.

Because of you, someones mother, father, child or friend may have a chance to spend another holiday with people they love.

Patients depend on blood for cancer treatments, scheduled surgeries, emergency or accident care, as well as ongoing needs related to serious diseases like sickle cell. While all blood types are needed, the demand for type O blood is great since type O can be transfused to patients with other blood types like A, B and AB. While type O positive can be transfused to patients with any positive blood type, type O negative can be transfused to anyone with any blood type, making it the type most needed in emergencies when a patients blood type isnt known.

Fayette Local Board Of Education Hears Of Upcoming 1963 Fayette Cheerleaders ALICE Training Session
REFLECTIONS FROM FAYETTES PAST
By: Timothy Kays THE VILLAGE REPORTER
1963 CHEERLEADERS ... Pictured above are (top to bottom): Cheryl Whitis, Susan Lester, Joyce Riviere and Susie Ziegler.
The Fayette Local Board of Education convened in regular session on the evening of October 14 in the Art Room of the Fayette School. District Superintendent Erik Belcher announced that the District has a waiver date upcoming on Friday, October 18. On that date, faculty and staff will undergo ALICE training. ALICE, which is an acronym for Alert Lockdown Inform Counter Evacuate, is a program that has been developed to counter incidents of active violence in schools. According to the ALICE website, "Most violent intruder situations last between five and seven minutes. Typically, first responders take longer than that to enter a compromised building. Research has shown that civilians have stopped active shooter events twice as many times as police intervention." The ALICE program equips faculty and staff with strategies to better prepare for lifeand-death encounters. Mr. Belcher wanted to publically comment on and commend the efforts of Mr. David Stoltzfus and Mr. Todd Mitchell for their continued work in the Sixth Grade Outdoor Education class. The class involves a field trip to Camp Palmer, where the students engage in hands-on exercises and observations. "People are talking about what the State is wanting," he said; "...these are
the kind of things that are front and center." Mr. Belcher also reported that the District has received a $20,000 Early Childhood Extension Grant which will allow the District to admit five more kids into preschool. In financial matters, the Board moved to approve the September 2013 Financial Report, and the Five Year Forecast for fiscal years 2014-2018. The Board approved the November 1, 2013 disposal of records as per the District record retention policy, and accepted an anonymous donation of $700.00 for Cross Country Invitational Trophies and supplies, and a music component adapter for floor jack access. The Board discussed changing the date of the November meeting, and decided upon November 11 at 6:30 pm. The Board approved an update on board policies from Neola, and in matters pertaining to staffing, the Board moved to approve Denise Baker for classified substitute work as a secretary for 2013-2014, and Brian Keefer and Rodney Kessler as volunteers for Boys Basketball for 2013-2014. The Board approved Paul Baker as a volunteer to participate with the band for 20132014, and agreed to an FMLA leave for Marge Crowell, from November 4, 2013 through December 20, 2013.

The Andersons Inc. Charitable Foundation has approved a grant to 4-H Camp Palmer in the amount of $10,000. These funds will be used to support the replacement of a new swimming pool at camp. The Anderson Foundation strives to enhance the quality of life in communities in which the donor company, The Andersons, Inc. has business operations. The Friends of Camp Palmer presented the 4-H Camp Palmer Executive Director & Board of Trustees a check for $4800 for the pool project. Also, an additional $2,200 of support was generated as result of their summer fund drawings for the pool. The Friends of Camp Palmer is a new non- profit, 501 c(3) formed this past March with a mission to support, maintain and improve 4-H Camp Palmer. This grant award from Anderson Inc. Charitable Foundation and donation from the Friends of Camp Palmer are great efforts toward the fund raising for this project. We are extremely grateful to both organizations, said Bill Goodson, Executive Director of 4-H Camp Palmer. 4-H Camp Palmer is accepting continuing donations to support the replacement of the camps pool. The original pool was built in 1957 and in
great need of update. Currently about 40% of funds have been raised with an anticipated new pool in place by summer of 2015. The demand and use of 4-H Camp Palmer has grown steadily since 1947 serving over 295,000 regional youth. 4-H Camp Palmer is a place where adventure and excitement of discovery merge to lift minds of 6,000 youth and adults served annually.

Wauseon Middle School Named A High Performing Reward School

the students, staff, and parents of not only Wauseon Middle School, but of the entire school district. At the risk of sounding clich, an honor of this significance is truly a team effort. I will be proud to display the banner in Wauseon Middle School, but it belongs to everyone. To be one of only 37 school buildings total and one of only 3 middle schools in the State of Ohio to qualify for this award, I proudly accept this honor on behalf of the entire community of Wauseon. Schools of Promise and the prestigious High Performing Schools of Honor are examples of what can happen when principals, teachers, parents and community members all believe that children can learn, said Dr. Richard A. Ross, superintendent of public instruction. These schools overcome challenges, sometimes significant challenges, to provide a high-quality education to Ohio children. What they have done is working and I am urging them to help other Ohio schools learn how they can overcome their challenges as well. By rewarding worthy schools, the Ohio Department of Education hopes to motivate schools that are not making progress, infuse more energy into those that are making gains and create exemplars for others to model.

HOW DO YOU LIVE WITH YOUR ENEMIES?
Throughout life Ive learned the inevitable truth that I will face and have to deal with adversaries. Sometimes the enemy has flesh on them, sometimes they are clothed in fears that consume us. How do you live with your enemies? Do you fight them with words, draw lines in the sand daring them to cross? Who are your enemies? During the Civil War, a woman who was a staunch supporter of the Union once chided Abraham Lincoln for speaking too kindly about the southern states. The woman said he should focus on destroying his enemies instead of being nice. Lincoln responded, Why madam, do I not destroy my enemies when I make them my friends? Jesus also had enemies and before his death, he told his disciples to pray for their enemies, to do good to them would who do evil to us. However, Jesus didnt just talk the talk, as he was dying on the cross and being reviled by those hanging with Him and the Romans who crucified Him, he prayed Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. Finally on the subject of dealing with our enemies, Jesus gave us a simple but profound formula in handling our enemies. Jesus told his disciples and the audience gathered on the Sermon on the Mount to love their enemies and to pray for those who would intend harm to us Matthew 5:43-45 (NIV), 43 You have heard that it was said, Love your neighbor and hate your enemy. 44 But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heavenAs President Lincoln practiced, lets make our enemies our friends.

Devotional Thought / Fellowship of Christian Athletes

BY: REX STUMP - TAKE A KNEE
prevented a last-gasp scoring drive and your offense takes over on downs. Your team has a four-point lead, there are forty-five seconds remaining, and the opposing defense has no time-outs. You shout, Theres no way we can lose! Right?! Many years ago, the quarterback would hand off to the running back to plunge into the line. But the New York Giants changed that approach in 1978 by losing a game to the Philadelphia Eagles in the last thirty seconds. Quarterback Joe Pisarcik fumbled an exchange to fullback Larry Csonka, and defensive back Herm Edwards picked up the loose ball and rambled twenty-five yards for a touchdown. That was a big ouch. Ever since that play, teams take absolutely no chances. Before the ball is snapped, the entire offensive team forms a shell around the quarterback to protect him even further. The quarterback takes a direct snap from center and kneels immediately. By taking a knee, the quarterback stops the play and cannot be tackled. The quarterback might take a knee two or three times to run out the clock. After the last knee is taken and the game clock has more seconds than the play clock, its time for the coachs Gatorade bath as players pour onto the field to shake hands. The Bible makes it clear that all will honor Jesus Christ when He comes back on a white horse to establish his rule on this earth as prophesied in the book of Revelation. The Bible tells us that one day everyone in heaven, on earth, and under the earth will take a knee when Jesus Christ returns. Every knee will bow, and every tongue will proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord. (Philippians 2:10) Heres the deal, dont wait for that day to recognize Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. Kneel today and surrender your life to Him. Have you taken a knee to Jesus yet? Have you confessed that He is Lord? If not, realize that someday you will and it just may be too late to confess that He is Lord. Take a knee today and confess with your mouth, and believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord. Then when our time comes to an end, you and I will once again take a knee to Jesus Christ and humbly proclaim Him as our Savior and Lord, as we enter His presence for eternity. Now that is the ultimate victory! Just like an athlete who took a knee and won the game - go celebrate the new and victorious life Jesus Christ has given to you! For more reading, check out John 14:6, Romans 10:9; and Revelation 19.
Todays devotional was inspired by a blog written by Dan Farr, who writes sport devotionals. I wish I could take credit for the whole devotional, but it was his words that spurred my heart to share...enjoy! One of the most joyous moments for a football fan is when your teams defense has

TRANSFORMING POWER OF GOD

One dark Halloween, I dressed up in a thick, brown, bear skin coat with the mask of a mean looking bear. With a bar of soap and a big bag, I headed out to get as much candy as I could get in my neighborhood and get to the homes on the other side of Woodville Road too. Yearning for a full bag after knocking on so many doors, my hopes were high. When I got home after my night of prowling and knocking on doors, I spread all my loot out on the living room floor to examine my treasures. I had covered my own neighborhood pretty well, but it got too late and people didnt answer their doors anymore, so I had to quit. I got a lot of goodies but felt somehow disappointed that I didnt get more. I ate some stuff I liked best and stored the rest in a special hiding place. A couple of days went by and I had already woofed down the candy I liked. There wasnt much left that I cared for but I saved it for a while and eventually threw the rest away. I was spending some time now looking at the Sears catalogue. The toys I was hoping to get for Christmas were now my focus. Hopes and a scary costume bagged some goodies which didnt last and in just a few days didnt really matter. Wants and desires lead to the accumulation of a lot of stuff that eventually we throw away. The only thing that really lasts and truly matters is the relationship we can have with God and the relationships we can have with each other. What we believe in and what we do with that faith makes all the difference in the quality of life we live. The faith Ive discovered that has changed my life for the better is this: Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Bible. He was buried and raised from the dead. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16. The driving force of my life and the purpose that moves me to write this article, is to share with you the transforming power of God that is available to everyone if you accept by faith that Jesus Christ is Lord. Knowing God by putting your faith in Jesus Christ can make you into a new person who lives life the way life was created to be lived.
You are invited to attend non-denominational BIBLE TALKS held in the Homecoming Shelter Building, 715 Lawrence Ave., Wauseon on Sundays at 4PM.

Thanks to our progress, nearly 14 million Americans who have had cancer and countless more who have avoided it will celebrate more birthdays this year. We just marked our 100th birthday in 2013, we're determined to finish the fight against cancer. We're finding cures as the nations largest private, not-for-profit investor in cancer research, ensuring people facing cancer have the help they need and continuing the fight for access to quality health care, lifesaving screenings, clean air, and more.
