Bartel had made an impact on the community, and many people that he knew were quick to offer their congratulations and well wishes on the Departments Facebook page with such comments as, Impressive career. Enjoy your retirement, and Congratulations Terry. That is a lot of years in law enforcement. The final comment reflected that which most individuals strive to achieve: .... you have made a difference! That is high praise indeed for a man who has made such a deep impression on the citizens of Pioneer in only four short years. Congratulations, Officer Bartel. May you enjoy your retirement with the same kind of dedication and gusto with which you served as a police officer. Kay Raypholtz may be reached at publisher@thevillagereporter.com.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

January 13, 2014 - I am writing this letter to all the local papers in Fulton County in regards to the shutdown of the Fulton County EMS/Non-emergency service. For six years my mom has depended on this service to transport her to and from Dialysis (three time a week) and Doctors appointments for she is bed ridden and can not be transported in a car or any other kind of vechicle. On December 30th we recieved a letter from the Fulton County Commissioners informing us that as of December 31st, this service would be discontinued due to they were breaking the state law. They say they are abiding by Ohio Revised Code 307.05 which states, in part A board of county commissioners in counties with a population of (only) 40,000 or less may operate a non-emergency patient transport organization. They say as of 2012, the countys population exceeds our statutory authority. There will be no service to replace the countys nonemergency service. They gave me a list of five area ambulance companies to contact. I called all five services and was turned away. I was told a week before from Bill Chester (hes the dispatcher and schedules the transport of patients) that this might happen and to be prepared to hear from Mr. Vond Hall the County Administrator. I was told this was not part of his job to contact us, but he was concerned about those who depended on this service to be prepared of what was going to happen. It was the job of Rob Cheney or Mr. Vond Hall to get ahold of us and let us know they were going to discontinue the non-emergency services, which neither did. Instead I get a letter dated December 26th on December 30th, one day before the service was going to be discontinuced. I was quite upset for I didnt know how I was going to be able to get someone to transport my mom to Dialysis that following Friday, on such short notice. I not only thought about my mom, but other Fulton County residents who also depended on this service. How were they going to transport their loved ones to doctors appointments or if they were on Dialysis. I sent emails to Mr. Vond Hall, the Fulton County Commisioners expressing my disappointment about this matter and them only giving me one day notice to find someone to transport my mom. I heard back from Mr. Vond Hall, our County Administrator, and his reply to me was that I was well aware of this service shutting down from Bill Chester well before I got the letter was sent out and that it was in every local newspaper and that in the letter I was given a minimum of 7 if not 8 options for transportation service and that my mom never received a bill from the county for the service they provided her over the last 6 years. Yes, I suppose the notice may have been in the local newspapers, but we dont receive the local paper and yes, they didnt bill her personally for the service, but they did bill her Medicare. The letter only gave me five companies to call, which I did. In a moment of despair I called the Delta Rescue, after calling all five companies and asked if they couldnt help me out with transporting my mom to Dialysis (for if she didnt receive her dialysis, she would die) and I spoke with Matt Nofzinger and he said he would get back to me, that he had to talk to the Chief. My prayers were answered later that afternoon, when Mr. Nofzinger called me to say he had got ahold of someone to transport my mom for Dialysis. A burden had been lifted and I think Matt Nofzinger for helping me out, he was a Godsend. If he was able to do this for me, why didnt the County Commissioners or Mr. Vohn Hall, try and do the same for those of us who were being left out in the cold without transportation for our loved ones? Shame on our elected County Commissioners and Mr. Vohn Hall for not thinking of how shutting down the non-emergency services would affect the residents of Fulton County who have to depend on such services and give us only a short time to find other means of transportation. I have sent out emails to our County Commissioners letting them know just how I feel, and Im not just stopping there. They have been breaking the law for years, why now are they so concerned? YOU the residents of Fulton County need to speak out, as I am, and let the Commissioners know how you feel about this matter. Not only write the Commissioners, but write out State Congressman, Sherrod Brown and House of Representate Bob Latta and Marcy Kaptur. Contact our local new stations!!!! Let our voices be heard, for you or your loved one, some day may need these services, like my mom does. Thank you for hearing me out. - Stella Black

NAMI To Offer Two Free Mental Health Education Classes

Two free mental health education classes will be offered next month by NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) Four County. One class, Family to Family, is for family members and friends of persons who suffer from a mental illness. The other class, Peer to Peer, is for persons who have a mental illness. Family to Family is a 12-week class that begins Thursday evening, February 6 starting at 6 p.m. in the community room of the Sherwood State Bank, 400 W. Third St., Defiance. The weekly class meets for 2 hours with each class covering a different topic, including: learning about the symptoms and facts of major depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, panic disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder, and understanding each diagnosis as well as the treatment of each illness. Other topics covered include dealing with difficult periods that a person suffering from a mental illness goes through, including relapse; an up-to-date medication review; a problem-solving workshop; developing strategies on how to better communicate with the mentally ill loved one; and more. Peer to Peer is a 10 week class that begins at 6 p.m. Monday, February 10 at the Four County ADAMhs Board office, T-761 State Route 66 south of Archbold. Each class is two hours, and includes many of the same type of topics as Family to Family. However, the focus is to help the individual develop and implement their own wellness plan. The curriculum for both classes was professionally developed by NAMI and instructors for both classes are family members or persons with a mental illness who have been trained by NAMI to teach the class. The Family to Family class is now listed in SAMHSAs national registry of evidencebased programs and practices. Participants in both classes will receive a notebook full of information on each topic RAGEN ROESCH, WEST UNITY SAMUEL COX, FAYETTE covered during the class.

Four lovely young ladies were crowned with dazzling tiaras to represent our small communities for the next year in community service, special appearances and to expand on their indiviual comminity concentrations. In addition to those crowned, awards and flowers were given to other young ladies that were also given honors as Runners-up, Miss Photogenic, Talent award, Personal Interview and Peoples Choice Award. Each young lady also received a special award from the pageant directors for their participation. Each portion of the pageant was worth a differecnt percentage in the overall score. Judges scored on references, personal interview, winter wear, onstage presentation/question, evening wear and talent (Miss only). The young ladies were judged on smile/expression, poise, overall appearance, speaking ability, presentation, enthusiasm, comfort level, confidence, dress, and sincerity. The talent portion was judged on facial expression, poise, ability, comfort level and originality.

Special recognition goes to Rachel Gendron, Jill Jacoby, Kasey Brenner, Tammy Mitchell, Lacey Gibler, Jamie Hand, Laura Leese, Dena Moor, Jessica Reitzel, Missy Sleesman and Chris Snyder.

PROCLAMATION ISSUED Edon Northwest Local School District is joining other districts across the State of Ohio in designating January 2014 as School Board Recognition Month. While serving on a school board requires an unselfish devotion of time and service to carry on the districts mission and business, members must also respond ~ on behalf of the community ~ to the educational needs of students as well.

Your dedication to the students of this District and willingness to serve as board members ~ something I know personally, not only as a parent of children in the District but certainly as an employee of the District ~ is greatly appreciated. Comprising the Edon Northwest Local Board of Education are, from left, seated: Brad McCrea (serving since 2008), Aaron Hake (beginning first term) and standing: Dave Wehrle (beginning first term), Jamie Schaffter (beginning first term) and Dave Haase (serving since 2008). The Ohio School Boards Association annually celebrates School Board Recognition Month to build awareness and understanding of the vital function an elected board of education plays in our society. District residents are encouraged to publicly and privately thank board members for their dedicated service to its children.

A Womans Story Of Her Selfless Son

an organ donor. One individual was able to see for the very first time, as they were given his eyes. Another person received heart valves from him. Over 200 people will be affected by Kalebs generosity. The family recently received a letter from a professional football player, because of Kaleb he was able to receive the tissue transplant he needed for his knee. This young mans decision to make a selfless act has affected so many people, and that is something any Mother should be proud of. Kalebs family knew how much he loved FFA. He and his cousin Cody Hulbert, even started a small cattle company. He was very proud of that achievement. In his honor, the family is raising money for FFA scholarships for those who would like the opportunity to go to the FFA convention. That was something Kaleb loved and was passionate about. The family knows that this is something Kaleb would be proud of them doing. The need for organ donation is great. In the United States alone, there are more than 117,000 people that are currently in need of organ transplants. Each year, thousands of people die waiting for a transplant because no donor can be found. One thing that Kalebs Mother has done to help make more people aware of organ donation was personalizing her license plate. Her plate says KBOB which is what many people who knew Kaleb referred to him as. Hopefully when people see the plate, they will consider being an organ donor if they are not already one. Ms. Oxender finds some comfort knowing her son saved so many lives. . Kaleb made a sacrifice that has impacted so many people, he is still giving even now. If you or someone you know is interested in becoming an organ donor you can get more information and sign up on donaltelifeohio.org.

A Mother from Pioneer, Ohio has been sharing a powerful story of her faith and her son Kaleb. Kim Oxender is the Mother of Kaleb McLaughlin. Kaleb was a young man who was taken from this world to soon on June 24, 2013 after a car accident; Kaleb was just twenty years old. Kaleb was a familiar face in Pioneer, Ohio and he loved being a part of the FFA. He also loved being a part of the FFA National Conventions. He seemed to make an impression on everyone he met, that is just the kind of guy he was. Between his viewing and his funeral he had over a thousand friends and family come to say until we meet again. Kaleb was an exceptional student. In 2011-12, during his senior year at North Central High School he was also working for Reifel Industries in the shipping and receiving department. Kalebs Mom said that Kaleb was raised in a family that believed in organ donation. There was never a question of whether or not he would donate; he just knew that was something he would do. If something happened to him, he would want to help someone else.. The day that Kaleb passed, many people were given gifts from Kalebs generosity of being
a Terrorism Liaison Officer. Chief Livengood added; It is with great honor that I congratulate Sgt. Roberts on truly earning his advancement in rank, and in recommending his promo-
tion, I have complete faith he will continue to excel in his commitment to this department and to the Village of Pioneer.

Pioneer Village Council Welcomes New Member

By: Kay Raypholtz THE VILLAGE REPORTER out the fire hydrants in the village. Fackler praised the fireman for their efforts in battling a blaze just over the border into Michigan on the evening of Sunday, January 5, during a heavy snowstorm. A snow plow went out in front of the fire trucks to make the roads passable, and although the structure was a loss, Fackler noted that they worked very hard in dangerous weather conditions. Pioneer resident Jared Stewart, representing the Pioneer Recreational Department, requested permission to hold a co-ed softball tourney on June 27, and a 5K run and a sand volleyball tournament on June 28 as fundraising activities. Stewart also praised the villages firstresponders. He experienced an emergency recently, and said that departments quickly responded and provided transport to an area hospital in a short amount of time. Council members praised the street crew for their job of clearing the streets during the recent heavy snowfalls, especially during the record low temperatures. They had received good feedback from residents. Mayor Ed Kidston said that this was due to good leadership and an outstanding job by the front office. A Pioneer man in attendance also remarked that he was pleased with the great job done. Administrator Al Fiser said the crews work was done efficiently and done well. The villages dump trucks were put under extra strain during the recent blizzard, and their 1991 Chevy dump truck lost its transmission for the 4th time since being purchased. A privately-owned truck had to be used to salt the streets. As the Chevy dump truck was 13 years old and road conditions warranted a quick replacement, Fiser met with the mayor to arrange the purchase of a new dump truck. Quotes were received, and a 2013 Chevy dump truck with a basic snow plow package was purchased. Village ordinances authorize the administrator to make purchases of up to $50,000. The original price was $47,724, but with a trade-in and rebates, the total price was lowered to $35,764. Fiser said that pictures had been taken of the old water tower and are available for viewing in a photo album at the village office. The tower was demolished in December. Village Clerk/Treasurer April McMillen presented council with reports on the carry-over balance from 2013, the estimated revenue for 2014, and the budget for 2014. She asked for and received approval from the council to attend the Auditors State Confernce in March. Mayor Kidston praised McMillen, saying, Youre doing an outstanding job. Two members of the council were appointed to the Pioneer Volunteer Fire Department Dependents Fund committee. Al Kwader and David Thompson will fill those roles. Council appointed Fire Department members Denny Fackler, who will serve as chair person, and Rich Meyers to the committee. Council moved to go into executive session to discuss personnel and compensation, and upon returning to open session, accepted the resignation of Brad Plummer as Electrical Supervisor effective January 2, 2014. He has taken a position elsewhere. Brad Van de Voorde was named the new Electrical Supervisor at a rate of $28 per hour with benefits. The next meeting of the Pioneer Village Council is scheduled for Monday, February 10, 2014, at 7:00 p.m. at the Pioneer Community Center.

Joel Burt was sworn in as Pioneers newest council member prior to the start of the first meeting of the new year on Monday, January 13, 2014. Returning council members David Thompson and Connie Salisbury also took their oaths of office. Councils next action was to nominate and elect Rodney Eckley as their president.

GUEST SPEAKER ... Dr. Joshua Schlade, local chiropractor, left, served as guest speaker for the January 13th meeting of CHWC-Montpelier Hospital Auxiliary. He is pictured receiving an appreciation gift from Deanna Gipe, auxiliary president. Dr. Joshua Schlade, owner of Montpelier Chiropractic Center, was guest speaker Monday, Jan. 13th for the regular meeting of CHWC-Montpelier Hospital Auxiliary in the hospital conference room. Dr. Schlade explained that chiropractic is the care and treatment of the human body without the use of pharmaceuticals or surgery. Most chiropractors focus on the structure and function of the joints, muscles and nerves of the body, especially those associated with the spine. His office focuses on the spine. The bodys spine is involved in all motion. Twelve nerves come from the brain and directly affect the face, eyes, ears and head. Other nerves travel down the brain stem into the spinal cord, and then from the spinal canal to the rest of the body. The spinal column is made up of 25 moveable vertebrae. Dr. Schlades office deals mainly with the function, mobility and posture of the spinal column. Spinal disorders are the common cause of functional disability for individuals over the age of 50. Dr. Schlade recommends that adults of all ages should be involved with a spinal health wellness program with regular visits to a chiropractor. The majority of patients come to a chiropractor for relief of pain involving sciatica, low back, between shoulder blades,

Noted fifteen percent of District elementary students are on an IEP (Individual Education Plan).

NEW MEMBERS ... Newly elected Stryker Village Council Members attend their initial meeting of the new year. From left to right: Mike Fox, Rick Wityk, Robert Sperling and Rex Blevins. By: Mark Mercer THE VILLAGE REPORTER The Stryker Village Council and Mayor Daniel Hughes brought down the gavel, opening the initial meeting of 2014. After an opening prayer and the pledge, Mayor Hughes swore in the four newly elected members of this year's council. Newly seated members this year are: Mike Fox, Rick Wityk, Robert Sperling, and Rex Blevins. After the swearing in of newly seated members, the council took up housekeeping measures, such as the assignment of committee memberships and, most importantly, nomination and voting on of a new Council President. Members Terry Wieland and Mike Fox were nominated, and the voting was an even split, 3-3 for each nominated member. According to council protocol, in the event of a tie, the Mayor holds the tiebreaking vote, and this year's new Council President selected by Mayor Hughes will be Mr. Wieland. After introduction of the updated Finance Report, council members voted 6-0 to adapt the report. The next order of business was the Communications Report to the Council. The only item discussed was the voices from many citizens to the Village Administrator , Gary St. John, recognizing the outstanding job all Village Departments performed during the recent inclement weather crisis that brought Northwest Ohio to a standstill. Many citizens voiced their appreciation for a job well done during a difficult crisis by all Village Departments. The next item addressed was the requirement for the formation of a "Forms Record Commission." The newly formed commission will be tasked with reviewing and setting timelines for village record retention (tax forms, bills, various other records). The commission members were assigned and the initial meeting was set for February 10 at 5:00 p.m. at the Stryker Village Office. At this month's meeting, one ordinance was put before the Council for adaption by the members. The first ordinance of the year adapted by the Council was Ordinance 2014-1, which is an ordinance repealing Ordinance 2013-3, titled "Setting the Salaries and Fringe Benefits and Defining Certain Duties of Elected, Appointed and Hourly Employees of the Village of Stryker Ohio." Ordinance 2014-1 is a requirement from the Ohio Revised Code and sets forth compensation and benefits for 2014. The council also heard the monthly report from Chief of Police Steven Schlosser. Chief Schlosser reported 25 traffic warnings issued in the Village along with 10 traffic citations. Chief Schlosser also reported the arrest of 4 adults in the period between the last council meeting. Also from Chief Schlosser, it was announced that Police Sergeant JR Treace was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant. According to Chief Schlosser "Lt. Treace has shown that he posses the traits necessary to make thorough decisions while providing outstanding leadership to our remaining staff. This promotion is well deserved, and I am very proud of his accomplishments as a full time Police Officer." Lt. Treace's promotion was effective on December 21, 2013. In other Police Department news, Chief Schlosser announced the date for the DARE program, to be held on February 24, at 5:30 p.m. at the Stryker Village Library. The council concluded the January meeting and set the next meeting, which will be held on February 10 at 6:00 p.m. at the Stryker Village Office.

Mayor Marlatt reported that she was on hand for a meeting with Senator Sherrod Brown, whom, on behalf of the Village, she thanked for his support in obtaining funding for the Fayette CSO Project. The State of the Village Address of Mayor Marlatt was rife with the positives that were frequent in Fayette during 2013.

The most recent review of expenditures for last year indicated that, in reality, over $5,078,800 passed through Village coffers over the past twelve months. In speaking of economic growth, Mayor Marlatt pointed out the positives, but also commended the steadfast contributions of the employment bedrock of Fayette through thick and thin, TRW Industries. In speaking of the recently relocated Palmer Plastics, Mayor Marlatt echoed the welcome of the Village. While some may consider this a windfall, she said, ...in truth, their arrival can be viewed as one more positive step in the replacement of jobs that have been lost over the course of the past two decades. In closing, Mayor Marlatt returned to a familiar subject, that being community involvement. This time though, she challenged the members of Council to take time, pick a community project, and get involved in the project for the betterment of the Village. Councilor Mat Johnson was appointed to a fiveyear term as a member of the Fayette Tree Commission, after which Council agreed to the payment of bills totaling $39,721.40.

DO YOU KNOW WHO IS NOT ON FORBES LIST OF THE WORLDS MOST POWERFUL PEOPLE OF 2013?
Forbes magazine compiled their new list for 2013 of the worlds most powerful people. This years list includes 17 heads of state who run nations with a combined GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of some $48 trillion. The 27 CEOs and chairs on the list control over $3 trillion in annual revenues. And the group of 28 billionaires on the list are worth over $564 billion. Russian President Vladimir Putin, U.S. President Barack Obama, and Chinese General Secretary Xi Jinping took the top three spots in the power rankings. At #5, Angela Merkel, the Chancellor of Germany, is the most powerful woman in the world. While the world ranks the most powerful, Jesus Christ, who was in the very nature of God and born to Mary on Christmas morning, chose to become nothing (Phil. 2:6-7). Philippians 2:5-8 (NIV), 5 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, 7 but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death-- even death on a cross! As we move into a New Year, may we all seek to make the list of the most humble, most serving and sacrificial human beings of our time, for the good of all people and the glory of God through His Son, Jesus Christ.

Devotional Thought / Fellowship of Christian Athletes

Ill never forget when our family took a vacation to Wisconsin many years ago. The boys were young and it was at a time when our oldest son seemed to really push our buttons. It was NOT one of our best vacations. Matter of fact, on the way home we stopped and picked up the book by Dr. Dobson about raising a strong-willed child. Been there? As a coach, I have to admit there are times when I feel like stapling my instructions to the players shorts so that I dont have to repeat myself 100 times. Why wont they listen? Why wont they do what Ive asked them to do? Why must they think that their way is better than my way? Been there? By the way, I wouldnt really staple them to their shortsmaybe duct tape If you are a parent, a teacher, or a coach and you work with children who are strong-willed hang in there! You will have some awesome moments, and some not-so awesome moments. There will be days when you will ask What did I do to deserve this? and other days when you will say I dont think I can keep doing this! When you encounter a challenge in coaching or raising a child you will have the opportunity to make a choice: Give in to the child, and let them have their way. (Not a good idea) Set more boundaries and enforce more rules. (Not too bad of an idea) Get on your knees and pray that God gives you the patience to not give up, the strength to endure, and the wisdom to lead! (Probably the best idea) I recently heard about a story (shared from Family Life) about Kendra Smileys book Aarons Way: The Journey of a Strong-Willed Child. In this book Kendra and her husband John share that they always knew God had a special plan in mind for their son, Aaron, a very strong-willed son. They intentionally prayed for their son, who caused them so much anxiety throughout his childhood. They prayed that Aaron would make good, godly, self-controlled decisions for himself by the time he reached high school. As a senior in high school, Aarons Fellowship of Christian Athletes Huddle was not allowed to advertise in the school newspaper. So he turned his strong will into action, phoning a Christian legal advocacy group to put legitimate constitutional pressure on his schools policies. They fought and they won. It was in this moment that Aarons parents knew their labors had not been in vain. Need more encouragement? Flip through the Bible and you will discover common people flawed with an attitude of rebellion, stubborn, and pride; people we may label as being strong-willed. Samson, Jacob, Peter, and especially Saul (Paul) were men who God took and used their lives for something special! Need more encouragementlook in the mirror! God takes us and uses our character and attitude to do mighty things for Him. Parents, coaches, teachersdont give up on those strong-willed, stubborn, and crazy kids! Pray for them! And dont be surprised one day if your persistent pain turns into a champion for Jesus Christ! Ive realized that sometimes the hardest kids to work with are the ones most likely to do something special for God. For more reading check out Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Proverbs 4:4; and Ephesians 6:1-4.

Last year, the 4-H Camp Palmer Board decided to choose a design build process and voted to hire The Patterson Company as the builder along with consultant Kurt Carmen. This grant award is a great boost toward the fund raising efforts toward this project. We are extremely grateful to Bryan Area Foundation, said Bill Goodson, Executive Director of 4-H Camp Palmer. The new pool will have a number of new features including: expanded deck, much wider pool (75 foot length by 42 foot wide), step entrance, accessible pool lift, water volley ball, sprayers and more! The Bryan Area Foundation is a publicly supported foundation using donations to accomplish diverse philanthropic goals. Since its founding in 1969, the Bryan Area Foundation has contributed over $7.6
million to a wide spectrum of community based projects and programs. For more information on the Foundation, visit the organizations website at www.bryanareafoundation.org. 4-H Camp Palmer is accepting continuing donations to support the replacement of the camps pool. Currently about 40% of funds ($200,000 raised thanks to many generous donors of the estimated $495,000 needed) 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 21,000 camper days of youth and adults annually 4-H Camp Palmer has also organized a brick memorial fundraiser to support the pool fund. A 22 ft. by 22 ft. patio will be built surrounding the camps flagpole at the center of camp. Dedicated 8 by 8 bricks can be purchased by individuals or businesses. For more information on ways to support 4-H Camp Palmer pool project or order your memorial brick please call 419237-2247 or email: 4hcampplamer@gmail. com.

This ordinance makes appropriations for Current Expenses and other Expenditures of the Village of Holiday City, State of Ohio, during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.

Appropriations are as follows: General Fund: Salaries- $77,000.00; Benefits-$13,180.00; Other General Fund$779,820.00; for a Grand Total General Fund Appropriation of $870,000.00.

The Total for All Appropriations: $7,005,610.92 Three resolutions were approved following delaration of an emergency, and one resolution was heard in its first reading. Resolution 2014-1 was approved for Blanket Certificates termination date, to expire at the end of the year. Resolution 2014-2, was approved for transfers of $41,975.08 from the General Fund to the Debt Service Fund. Resolution 2014-3 was heard in its first reading, addressing water/sewer line Debt fees to the Village of Montpelier. Resolution 2014-4 was approved for Then and Now Purchase Orders 45-2013 and 14-2014. In her Treasurers report, Lauri TenEyck-Rupp reported that that in the month ending December 31, 2013, Deposits totaled $611,148.24; Expenses totaled $639,418.00; and there was a Balance of $2,452,787.56. The total Investment Balance was $172,826,08. She reported that the Year End Report was completed. Council voted to pay the bills for the month of December 2013. TenEyck-Rupp asked for approval to attend five conferences during the 2014 year, and council approved her request. She will earn educational hours required for municipal clerk/treasurers as well as learning valuable information. In legal news, Village Solicitor Michelle Cranz confirmed that Menards would need to purchase their electrical power from the Village of Holiday City per an ordinance. In Visitors Bureau news, Kellie Gray and Lauri TenEyck-Rupp are working on a Wine Festival to be held at the Ramada Inn, tentatively scheduled for May 10. The event could include area fine art vendors and authors, and there may be wine and food pairings offered. The project is in its beginning stages. Proceeds from the event will go to a local charity to benefit veterans. In his Administrators report, Gary Baker discussed the sale of the villages Renewable Energy Credits, or RECs. These are certificates that the village receives, equal to one megawatt hour, and are a tradable commodity. The village does not gain any money by simply possessing the certificates as they are not an energy producer, but can sell the RECs. Council voted to sell their RECs. AMP-Ohio would handle the transaction. With no further business to discuss, council adjourned the meeting. The next meeting of the Holiday City Village Council will be held on February 20, 2014, at 7:00 p.m. Kay Raypholtz may be reached at publisher@thevillagereporter.com
