By: Timothy Kays THE VILLAGE REPORTER It takes someone of true vision to be able to look at an empty field, then using the roadmap of history, resurrect life and activity onto that same stretch of land. It takes someone of empathic quality to be able to read a historical account about the people who once tread upon that land, then answer their unspoken echoes through the generations to tell their story. In each of the aforementioned instances, you can find these qualities contained within one person...animal lover, local historian, author and recently retired English and Language Arts teacher with the Edon-Northwest Local School, Barbara Fogel. The opening lines of her latest book, "Rooted in the Corner: The People of Cooney, Ohio," shows just how much of a historical visionary Barbara is. "'But there's nothing there!' declared a fellow teacher and friend of mine one day at the school lunch table. He was referring to Cooney as it looks today and could not imagine anything going there, ever..." This book is an updating of her first book, "A Place Called Cooney, Ohio," which came out in 2003. While that book carried the reader through Cooney from its inception in the nineteenth century up until 2003, the new book focuses on the

Local Historian Barbara Fogel Returns Village Of West Unity Recognizes Dan Fedderke For 30 Years Of Service; With Follow-up Book Dedicated To Cooney Welcomes New Fiscal Officer Kim Grime
COMMITMENT ... Assistant Police Chief Dan Fedderke was recognized for his 30 years of service and commitment to the West Unity Police Department. Pictured helping honor Fedderke are, from left, Police Chief J.R. Jones, Mayor Peggy Bernath, Assistant Police Chief Dan Fedderke and his wife, Nora. By: Chelsie Firestone THE VILLAGE REPORTER Several people were on hand for the March 27 meeting of The West Unity Village Council and to help recognize the commitment of Dan Fedderke. Fedderke, who has been with the West Unity Police Department for 30 years, started as a part time officer but now serves as the Assistant Police Chief. Police Chief J.R. Jones, Mayor Peggy Bernath, and council all extended their gratitude for the commitment that Fedderke has given to the Village and the residents of West Unity. New Fiscal Officer Kim Grime was also officially welcomed by the Village the same evening. Grime replaces former Fiscal Officer Becky Thatcher, who was dismissed in a Special Meeting held by council on Monday, March 24. Grime previously held the position of Deputy Clerk of the Village for nine years. The Village is currently working to fill her vacated position and hopes to do so soon. Grime thanked everyone for their vote of confidence as she takes on her new role. Council also heard from Village Administrator Ric Beals. In his report, Beals noted that he is continuing to work on obtaining a 12% discount on the streetlight electricity as well as that he has been notified that the project involving the paving of the parking lot behind the Village Office qualifies for SWIF grant from the EPA. He is currently working on submitting the paperwork for the grant. Beals also reported that Kamcos construction project involving a new addition on Linden Street will begin as soon as weather permits. In legislative matters, Ordinances 2014-02 and 2014-03 both passed under emergency language. Ordinance 201402 allows for the Village to bill an owner of a manufactured home park, mobile home park, or multi-family apartment complex for water usage that is beyond that shown by the individual renters' meters. It was noted that individual residence meters at times totaled less than the master meters provided for the property as a whole due to leaks within the propertys water system. The Ordinance will allow the Village to avoid any further losses resulting from the discrepancies. Ordinance 2014-3 authorizes the sale of the 1983 Chevrolet C30 V8 Truck, which has been deemed unneeded personal property. Passing on first reading was Resolution 03-2014-02, which is a show of support for the Mill-Creek West Unity May 2014 tax levy to fund a School Resource Officer. Village Solicitor Ryan Thompson commented that it is important for the public to understand how important the School Resource Officer is to the school system as it provides a uniformed police officer at the school at all times. Mayor Peg Bernath also commented on the good that current SRO Michael Polley brings to the community and West Unitys youth by building relationships with the students during both the school year and the summer when Polley spends his time with the Police Department being active in the parks. During her report, Mayor Peggy Bernath provided Council with the news that she had learned from Rails to Trails that two areas of the Rails to Trails path will soon be seeing improvements. One of these areas, Bernath was happy to report, is the section that lies between Wabash Park and the school. The next meeting of the West Unity Village Council will be held in council chambers on April 10 at 7:30 pm.

A man calling from (917)460-9954 may call to tell you that he is with Publishers Clearinghouse. He tells you that you have won a sweepstakes cash prize and that all you need to do is send him a $500 deposit so you can claim your prize. He will want the deposit via a MoneyPak that he will suggest you buy from K-Mart, Walgreens, or CVS. After you buy the MoneyPak, he will want a return call from you. That is when he will ask for the 14 digit code on the MoneyPak. Once he has the code, he can cash in the MoneyPak card without having it in his possession. Letigimate sweepstake prizes do not require a down payment. You might as well burn $500 as that is the last you will see any of that money. Scammers are always trying to prey on unsuspecting members of our community. Thankfully, many are becoming aware of the scammers tricks. Even better, they are contacting law enforcement about these scams. Do not send money or offer your credit card information to anyone unless you are certain that you know them or you initiated contact with them. Keep your internet information secure. Please consider an action plan with yout friends and family so that you can talk to others before you act on a telephone call or internet solicitation. Protect your money. If you have a question or want to report a scam or fraud attempt, call the Williams County Sheriffs Office at (419) 636-3151. Sheriff Towns and his staff are ready to help. (Mar. 29) The Williams County Sheriffs Office observed a vehicle traveling east on US-20A, west of SR-15 in Madison Township at a high rate of speed. A traffic stop was attempted but the driver refused to stop, committing several traffic violations. During the pursuit it was found the suspect vehicle had been stolen out of Michigan. Due to the unsafe nature of vehicle operation and the substantial risk of serious physical harm to persons and property, spikes were deployed to stop the vehicle. The Williams County Sheriffs Office was able to stop the vehicle on CR-C just west of the intersection of SR-576 in Center Township. Forcible entry was made into the vehicle and the driver, identified as Stephen A. Asher, age 26, Battle Creek, Michigan, was removed and taken into custody at approximately 2:07 a.m. He has been initially charged with Fleeing and Eluding a Police Officer, a Felony of the Third Degree, Receiving Stolen Property, a Felony of the Fourth Degree, and additional traffic offences. He was incarcerated at the Corrections Center of Northwest Ohio (CCNO). Assisting with the pursuit were the Montpelier and Bryan Police Departments. The matter remains under investigation. FULTON COUNTY SHERIFF Sheriff Roy Miller reports that on Saturday, March 22, deputies were dispatched to a burglary in progress at 7330 County Road 5-2, Delta. Neighbors called 911 reporting a suspicious male kicking at the door of the neighbors residence. The suspect left the area prior to deputies arrival but was stopped by Delta Police. The callers description given to the deputies matched the suspect and the vehicle. The driver, Seth Bowers, 31, of Delta, was arrested and taken to CCNO. Charges are pending. The Sheriffs Office reports that the neighbors watchful eye was instrumental in this arrest. Deputies do not think this is the only individual doing burglaries in the area. Citizens are again reminded to watch out for any suspicious activity and report it right away to your local law enforcement agency. WILLIAMS COUNTY TRAFFIC Codie J. Ledford, Edon, OH. 65/55 speed.

CONTINUED FROM THE FRONT PAGE

over on State Route 49 in order to get out of my car and survey the landscape at Rigelman's Corners. True to the aforementioned observation of her fellow teacher, there is practically nothing to indicate that at one time this was an early hub of rural American commerce, including a post office. The visionary that is Barbara Fogel, however, creates a vivid time machine that transports the reader backward through the decades, enabling the reader to not just envision daily life in the community, but also, through the engine of imagination, to feel the presence of the activity. To those of whom I offended whilst traveling Route 49 at Rigelman's Corners, don't blame me...blame Barbara. If her historical accounts were not so riveting and lifelike, I would have not been putzing around near County Road S, staring and imagining, and you would not have not been straining your vocabulary for obscure adjectives for which to describe me. While the new book on Cooney does not rely heavily on historical documentation of the businesses and people of the community at the turn of the century, it does provide a more powerful account of life in the Cooney area from the most reliable of sources...the people that call Cooney home. "I had a lot of information left over from the first book," Barbara explained. "What happened with that first book was that it spawned memories in people who bought it. They started to share their additional memories with me, especially school memories. I had a ton of school memories because I was teaching school then, plus
Local Historian Barbara Fogel Returns With Follow-up Book Dedicated To Cooney
I talked to a lot of people who had gone to school there. It wasn't just school, it was people...local people who were sharing their memories living in Cooney. I thought, 'I've got enough for another book,' and so I wrote another book. That's how it went." Why would a girl who grew up in Camden, Michigan write two books about Cooney, Ohio? Barbara explained that Camden and Cooney have always had strong ties. "When I was growing up in Camden," she said, adding, "I found out many years later that many of the kids that I played with, their families came from down here in this area." Both of Barbara's daughters went to school in Cooney. The youngest, Roxanne Fogel Kaufman, designed a beautiful cover for her mother's new book. Although she does not consider herself a genealogist, "Rooted in the Corner: The People of Cooney, Ohio," is a master class in small town America genealogy, and an essential read for anyone with ties to the Cooney area. "The first book was historical in that I researched the buildings, the organizations, the houses. This new Cooney book is people's memories; it's very sentimental. This is more of a book of people's recollections, their sentimental feelings of living in a place like Cooney." The research done was not shallow by any extent of the imagination. For being such a small community, Barbara has compiled recollections in her new book that spans over 224 family names. "Now I can say that Cooney is in good hands," Barbara said. "Before, I always got negative feedback from outsiders saying, 'there's nothing there,' the school closed, it's going to die. That concerned me, so I wrote the book. Since then, we've got a fire department that we've never had, and we have an auxiliary. We have a Township Board; I think it's going to be fine...Cooney is fine. At the time I wrote though, I felt that it was a threatened place. Now, I don't feel that way." Writing is an art form, and every artist has a trigger...something that inspires them to take up the implement of their art and create. With Barbara, it is people. "People not getting the recognition that they deserve, or people being forgotten, or people who are underappreciated. People and places. I want to reach out and tell the world that these people did live, and that this place did exist. I'm very passionate about it. I mean, very VERY passionate about it." While she has covered Cooney and Rigelman's Corners, Barbara noted three other communities that have practically vanished over time, Billingstown in the far Northwestern corner of Williams County, South Camden, Michigan, and an even more obscure community on the east side of Nettle Lake, Kintightown. The remnants of the latter are the old church and Nettle Lake cemetery that can be found on the lands of the Kintigh (pronounced kintee) families that bordered the East Nettle Creek between what is today County Roads 5.75, County Road R and County Road S. "Those places fascinate me," Barbara said. "Those people lived and died, and you never hear anything about them. I guess it's because I live in a rural area, and I live on an old farm. I think about the old people on my farm. Somebody came in every night after chores. Somebody sat down to supper. Some people kept diaries, but most people didn't; they were working too hard. I just feel that I am their storyteller." All three books by Barbara Fogel are teleportation time machines that take the reader back to a younger America where success was determined by the sweat of the brow and the aching of the back at the end of the day. As time moves forward, she delves into the social cliques that developed between the students of the Edon and Cooney schools, noting that when the Cooney kids transferred to Edon, they were often picked upon and given derogatory nicknames like, 'hayseed'. If you have connections to Northwest Township, these three books by Barbara Fogel should be prominent in your personal library. If you are one of the 224 families referenced, or if you are simply interested in a uniquely enjoyable yet exhaustive view of the people and places surrounding the Northwest Township communities of Cooney and Rigelman's Corners, you need these books. Sit back, relax, and allow Barbara Fogel to guide you on a tour of a small section of the county with big dreams and ambitions in a younger America. You can obtain copies of each of the books directly from the author by telephone at 419-4594567, or e-mail at bfogel104@gmail.com. Correspondence with the author can be made by writing to Barbara Fogel, 03984 County Road R, Edon, Ohio, 43518. Timothy Kays can be reached at tim@thevillagereporter.com

NEW DIRECTOR ... Williams County Department of Aging welcomes new director Donna Sprow.

By: Tammy Allison THE VILLAGE REPORTER
Experiences in life often prepare one for the journey ahead and Donna Sprow can attest to this as it has proven true in her own life. In the beginning of February Donna took over as the Executive Director of the Williams County Department of Aging, which services all the communities in Williams County. Donna, a nurse by profession, says, I honestly know that every job I have PHOTOS BY JENNIFER MANLOVE, STAFF had was leading to this. This is where ANTIQUES ... Shoppers enjoy over 30 vendors at the Antique Show. I belong. Donnas love and passion for working with people naturally flows from her helping profession of nursing. In the nurse role, she has worked in an intensive care setting, doctors office, and nursing home. In 2007 she became the Director of Nurses at Hillside Country Living where she remained for about 5 years and enjoyed working with the residents. She transitioned to home health and accepted a position as the Home Health Geriatric Managed Care Nurse with the Williams County Health Department. While in that role Donna found herself working closely alongside Alzheimers disease and its effects on caregivers and took on the role of facilitator for an Alzheimers Association support group meeting in Bryan the second Tuesday of every month at 7 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church, a role she continues in. Donna says, Ive worked with TRINKS ... Lots of trinks and items for collectors of all ages. different ages throughout my career, but my focus has turned to generations before me. The public health sector really opened my eyes to the realization that I really enjoy the people. Barb Lingvai, the previous Executive Director, retired from the position February 1. Donna had the opportunity to train with Barb for three days before being on her own. Donna speaks very highly of Barb. She put together a very good team. I love when I interview the staff. The first thing everyone tells me is that they love their job. They have a heart for what we do and the people we serve. The job responsibilities of the Executive Director for the Department of Aging are many. Donna spends her CHAIRS ... From collectables to household items, there was something for everyone. days overseeing the daily operations and functions of the seven senior centers that service the seniors of Williams County. Senior centers are located in Bryan, Montpelier, Edon, Edgerton, Stryker, Pioneer, and West Unity. The centers in Bryan, West Unity, and Montpelier are open Monday through Friday while the other centers operate Monday through Thursday. The centers offer meals, home delivered meals, activities, transportation services, support services, and information and referral assistance. Donna acknowledges that people are working and living longer and that the population is changing and, henceforth, the needs of the senior population are changing as well. Donna attests, While activities like bingo and cards are good, there are other things we can do as well. I want to keep what we have but also add

onto to it. The nurse in me wants to bring out more education and support groups such as a mens coffee group for male caregivers . Donna understands firsthand the progression of dementia and how it affects caregivers. Donna has dealt with care-giving issues both professionally and personally as a caregiver for her mother-in-law. What you know doesnt prepare you for what you deal with day to day. As a caregiver routines change and sometimes you are just too tired to come up with new ideas. She feels that by introducing a support group for male caregivers, they will feel more comfortable in the presence of other men who, over a cup of coffee, can share new ideas in a safe place. Donna is interested in building onto the vast array of activities already offered at the various centers. One of the first things she did when she started in her new role was to visit each center and talk with both the staff and the seniors. During these initial conversations with seniors, they offered ideas and suggestions for things they would like to see. One suggestion was more exercise programs. Other ideas are providing more of the music they enjoy which brings back fond memories. Also, outings such as the one taken to Lake Erie last year provide opportunities for seniors to socialize with others and travel safely in a group. Donna envisions the Senior Centers as a place for seniors to come to meet up with friends and relax for a while. One thing she has learned through her interactions with people in her nursing career is that there are a lot of lonely people in the world. I would love to stop loneliness. She believes this can actually achieve multiple goals. For instance, seniors at the center can make cards to share with residents of local nursing homes and reach out to others. Loneliness leads to health issues. Seniors appreciate togetherness. We werent created to be alone, reminds Donna. Donna is also interested in parallel programming, possibly offering multiple activities simultaneously. Whatever activities are offered, she feels they need to have a purpose. Seniors arent content with just crafts. They need a purpose. I want to help people to find and use their purpose. Donna also acknowledges the importance of the volunteer support to the success of the Senior Center. She says presently the centers do have a lot of active volunteers but they are always open to new volunteers. Donna feels as though she is exactly where she is meant to be. Her passion for seniors and the Department of Aging is evident. I dont want to spend all my time behind the desk. I enjoy spending time with the seniors. With Donnas experience, passion, and vision, the future of the Williams County Department of Aging will continue to flourish. I love it so far. I really believe that God has led me here. This is where I belong.

Hollywood Comes To Northwest Ohio

Northwest Ohio native Jesse Houk is poised to bring Hollywood to his hometown of Pioneer, Ohio. He is the writer and producer of a high school comedy called SIEGFRIED THE BOY, which is in the vein of EASY A and JUNO, with a touch of NAPOLEON DYNAMITE. SIEGFRIED THE BOY is a movie project that has been picking up momentum. In addition to receiving a favorable review from a former SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE writer, Houk has received a letter of intent from one of Hollywoods hottest up-andcoming actors. Ive always wanted to bring the excitement of Hollywood back to where I grew up, said Houk. Ohio has many great locations that have never been used in a feature film and I would like to show them off to the rest of the world. I would also love to give the people of Ohio a chance to get behind the scenes and see how movies are made. While on a visit in January, Houk and his producing partner/actress wife, Holly, were able to scout out locations. They received permission from North Central Local Schools Superintendent, Ken Boyer , and the school board, to use the same high school that Houk graduated from in 2000. We received permission to shoot at some great locations including a leather shop, a pig farm, and my old high school, said Houk. I think its awesome that well be shooting this film in the very halls that I walked during my school days. Houk said they are in discussions with several directors and are looking to expand the number of committed named actors. Houk plans on blending Hollywood talent with regional actors that he has become acquainted with over the years. I know some very talented regional actors, some of the funniest people I know, said Houk. I want SIEGFRIED THE BOY to be a collaborative effort between the pros of Hollywood and regional actors that are looking for a chance to breakout. Houk plans on shooting the movie in July of 2014 but still has some investments he needs to raise in order to pull every piece of the project together. He and his wife have created a Kickstarter video campaign, which features actor and comedian Andy Dick, which can be viewed at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ siegfriedtheboy/siegfried-the-boy?ref=live or by going to www.kickstarter.com and searching for SIEGFRIED THE BOY. Kickstarter is the worlds largest platform for funding creative projects. It allows anyone to contribute directly to projects they believe in. Houk is hoping a lot of people believe in his project. Although we have made great progress on SIEGFRIED THE BOY, we still need help raising funds. This is a dream of mine and Im hoping that people show up in a big way and help me accomplish something I could never do on my own.
Rupp Recognized At Holiday City Council Meeting
RECOGNITION ... Lauri TenEyck-Rupp (far left) is presented with a Certificate of Recognition from Mayor Dan Hughes for helping the village with their new accounting system and for filling in for Stryker Village Fiscal Officer Beth Rediger (far right) during a family medical emergency. By: Kay Raypholtz THE VILLAGE REPORTER Holiday Citys clerk/treasurer Lauri TenEyck-Rupp was honored during the March meeting of the Holiday City Village Council on Monday, March 20, 2014. Stryker Mayor Dan Hughes presented Rupp with a plaque to thank her for her help during their changeover to a new financial system, as she was already familiar with the program, and for her more recent help during their clerks absence due to a family emergency. Rupp had stepped in to help out when needed on her own time and refused any compensation. The Stryker council members and Mayor Hughes wanted to find a way to thank her, so she was awarded an official Certificate of Recognition for her outstanding and dedicated service above and beyond the call of duty. Ordinance 2014-1 was passed after its third reading. This is an ordinance approving the 2014 Annual Appropriations for current and other expenses. Resolution R-2014-3 was passed, also in its third reading. This resolution addresses water/sewer line debt fees to the Village of Montpelier. Clerk/Treasure Rupp reported that deposits for the month ending February 28 were $933,293.78; expenses were $870,364.13; and there was a total balance of $2,323,987.56. The total investment balance stands at $172,831.14. Rupp also told council that the insurance policy for the village had been renewed and that the new storm siren and shelter house were added to the policy. The cost for the policy had come in under budget, due in part to an Advantage Credit in the amount of $1425, for a net purchase price of $11,791.00 for the one year term. A motion to approve the policy and pay the bills for the month was passed. Lee Dick was present at the meeting to address his concern. He had purchased land near the Holiday Village limits, and has plans to build a home on a lot adjacent to his parents. The lot does not have electrical access. He had contacted Toledo Edison and Northwest Electric about putting in a line to the property without success. He asked council to extend one of the villages lines to his property. Council said that they were waiting to hear from the electrical superintendent in Montpelier and for their approval and would need to see the figures before proceeding. Protocol requires that, after such information is received, the Holiday City council would have to put the issue to a vote. They would then need to obtain a building permit from the township to construct the line. Council indicated that they were willing to work with Dick to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. In his administrators report, Gary Baker distributed a draft of the residential line extension policy. This was a sample policy and was used to show how fees would be paid and reimbursed. He suggested that the utility committee meet for further discussion. The line extension would be either a single phase overhead or a three phase overhead line, or an underground line. In the report for the Visitors Bureau, Kellie Gray sent a notice that the Wine & Arts Festival, which had originally been slated for May, now had a new date for Saturday, November 1, 2014, from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Ramada Inn. There will be wine tasting, art display and sales, and specialty food tasting. More details will be made available as plans proceed. In new business, the village is searching for someone to mow the Visitors Bureau lawn as the person who had done the job last year notified the village that he was not able to continue. One quote has already been received and they are seeking more quotes. With no further business, the meeting was adjourned. Meetings of the Holiday City council are held on the third Thursday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at the Visitors Bureau. Kay may be reached at publisher@thevillagereporter.com

Quadco Board Plans For Broader Services

We need to look at making sure the services we provide are as integrated into the community as possible. Thats what Quadco (QRC) Executive Director Bruce Abell told members of the QRC Administrative and Non Profit Board members when they met in regular session on Tuesday, March 25th. During a planning session held by the board, Mr. Abell explained the emphasis being placed on community employment and integration for individuals with disabilities across the country and in the state of Ohio. Decisions by the Department of Justice and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid are directing that individuals with disabilities have full access to benefits of community living and the opportunity to receive services in the most integrated settings appropriate. Mr. Abell noted that officials in Ohio had been promoting efforts in support of these objectives even before the decisions were made, including an emphasis on community employment. The Employment First Initiative was signed by Governor Kasich over a year ago providing that adult Ohioans with developmental disabilities, including young people reaching graduation, explore community employment opportunities. Mr. Abell pointed out that the new Employment First rule includes a provision that every adult with developmental disabilities of working age is to have an employment goal in their plan. QRC supports those measures in a number of ways. During her report to the board, Sharon von Seggern, manager of QRCs Northwest Employment Services, pointed out that QRC has been a noted provider of employment services for individuals with disabilities for many years and is now beginning to provide employment services for a couple individuals through the Employment First program. As he mentioned in last months board meeting, Mr. Abell said that he felt it will be necessary to take a broader view of the kinds of services QRC will provide in the future to make sure they help people work toward their own

independence whether they have a disability or not. This is not something new for the center, as they have served individuals referred to them by local Jobs and Family Services agencies for many years in a variety of ways including job training and skill development. It will mean that the center will broaden their array of services, he said, in order to assist people to reach the goals they need to achieve in their lives. One of the first orders to business will be to broaden the centers mission statement. Mr. Abell said he expects to review the mission statement at the next board meeting in April. In department reports, Program Coordinator Shannon Zellers told the board about a number of activities over the past month. She said with the weather improving and people looking forward to the beginning of baseball season that the participants in one area at the Stryker building recently picked their favorite baseball player.

Williams Soil & Water District Plans Soil Health, Lake Erie & The 4R Program
Plan to attend a nutrient management update on Soil Health and Lake Erie on Tuesday, April 8, at the Williams Soil & Water Conservation District Meeting Room on Buffalo Road, in Bryan, Ohio. Carrie Vollmer-Sanders from The Nature Conservancy will be addressing the Lake Erie phosphorous concerns; and Florian Chirra, OSU Extension Educator, will be talking about soil health and the benefits it brings to your farm, residence, and Lake Erie. Carrie Vollmer-Sanders is the Director of the Western Lake Erie Basin Project for The Nature Conservancy and will be giving the latest details on the phosphorous effect on Lake Erie. Carrie also leads the Conservancys efforts to promote a healthy Lake Erie by working with farmers, agribusinesses, researchers, government agencies, and conservation groups to improve nutrient management and drainage practices. This broad group has developed a voluntary, third-party certification program in which farmers fertilizer and crop advisers can be recognized for their efforts to improve water quality. The 4R Nutrient Stewardship Certification Program was created to be a consistent, recognized program for the agricultural retailers that ensure social, environmental and economic 4R nutrient sustainability goals. The 4R Stewardship Program of applying the Right source of fertilizer, at the Right rate, at the Right time, and in the Right amount applies to both agriculture and residential areas and will lead to long-term positive impacts on water quality in Lake Erie. Florian Chirra will discuss that by improving soil health we can improve water infiltration, reduce soil erosion, increase water holding capacity, lessen soil crusting, reduce nutrients lost, suppression of weeds and diseases all by improving soil structure. As we are finding out, it takes all three areas: chemical, physical and biological to make it work. Thus the physical, chemical and biological components all depend on one another to make it work. When one gets out of sync, problems arise, and sustainability declines and environmental issues arise. The evening meal is sponsored by the Ohio Livestock Coalition, OSU Extension Williams County, and the Williams Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD). The meeting starts at 6:00 p.m. with a pork chop meal, followed by the presenters. Reservations are required for the meal and handouts. For reservations, please call the Williams SWCD at 419636-2349 Ext 101 or 419-636-5608 by April 4.

FA
Twain-Roosevelt Scholars Assemble Fayette Village Council Hears Citizen Complaints At March 26th Meeting At The Fayette Opera House
The story of how the American writer Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) and President Theodore Roosevelt brought a twenty-first century Presidential Scholar, a nationally syndicated illustrator and an university scholar/ collector together to produce a play that places these two personalities on stage for an imagined debate, is the topic of a panel discussion to be held at the Fayette Opera House this coming Friday, April 4th. The doors will open at 6:00 p.m. with the discussion beginning at 7:00 p.m. The Panel discussion features the plays creator, Dr. Jan Younger, its illustrator, Polly Keener, and Collector & Department Chair, Dr. Doug Collar (Heidelberg Univ.) in a conversation about the life and times of both of these American icons. The program is the introduction to a three performance production of the play As Different as a Frog and a Grizzly to be held on Thursday May 1st, 2014 (a 1:00 p.m. Law Day special event), Friday, May 2nd at 7:00 p.m. and again on Sunday, May 4th for a 3:00 p.m. matinee production. The panel, as well as the play, is a part of the newly inaugurated SteinemNyce Series. The series is designed to stimulate Civil Conversations that lead to Civic Engagement at the local level. Series collaborators, the Bean Creek Valley History Center, and the Fayette Arts Council, noted that in an age that has experienced increased polarization, it is important to recognize that different perspectives and opinions are a part of our local and national tradition. Mark Twain and Theodore Roosevelt certainly did not share the same view on every issue, but their collective influence on defining the American character is profound said Opera House Director, Tom Spiess. Producers stated that the SteinemNyce Series is not simply about panels and performances; it is about the discussions and conversations that follow those events. We want people to reopen conversations about issues that impact our daily lives said Spiess. Over the years, our post concert receptions and conversations have become a trademark of our programming efforts he continued. We want to build on that tradition. Following the hour long panel discussion, the audience will be encouraged to ask questions of all panel members. In addition there will be a special exhibition of the works of illustrator, Polly Keener, in the University Gallery of the Opera House. The panel event is free and open to the public. A free will donation will be collected with all proceeds directed to the support of the Steinem-Nyce Series and education outreach programs. As always, a reception will follow the panel discussion. For ticket information, call (419) 2373111 and leave your ticket request. For additional information check out our web site at www.operahouse-fayette.org
By: Timothy Kays THE VILLAGE REPORTER Members of the Fayette Village Council convened in regular session on the evening of March 26. In the absence of Mayor Ruth Marlatt and Council President David Borer, the meeting was presided over by Councilor Scott Wagner. Council heard from Jody Jennings pertaining to a complaint about a local business. Ms. Jennings, a former employee of Palmer Plastics, requested that Council look into her complaints that her former employer was bouncing checks. I started working there and every single one of my checks bounced, she said. She said that she filed a police report but said that she had heard that Fayette Mayor Ruth Marlatt was talking with representatives of the business. To me, I think that (Fayette Chief of Police) Jason (Simon) should handle it...legally. She said that, since the Mayor got involved, she has had trouble getting her checks. They fired me because they said that I was speaking around town about their company, when I never said anything, she said. Ive just been having trouble cashing the checks. She continued, They wanted me to go to the store and cash it so they could bounce there, instead of going to my bank. They said it was Mike Figgins fault because my checks were not getting cashed. I have one more check coming. This has been going on since January, she added, explaining that when a check bounces, They will issue another one, then I have to keep it in (the bank) for two weeks to see if it will clear. I cant touch nothing in there, and all my bills are piling up. Council said that there was nothing INFORMATION PROVIDED they could do other than what service is already being provided through the police investigation. Village Administrator Steve Blue said that Councilor Borer and Mayor Marlatt wrote a letter stating that despite what the administration of the factory might say to the contrary, that neither were giving the business a pass on this issue. According to Chief Simon the investigation is continuing. Council then heard from Mr. Gary Ragsdale of the Buckboard. Mr. Ragsdale inquired about his personal parking situation in lieu of the new parking regulations, a situation that Council said was still under evaluation. Mr. Ragsdale had a more pressing concern that followed. He said that the recent road pavement removal near his facility caused significant mortar damage to the cobblestone foundation of his business, allowing for a large piece to fall out and water to enter, thereby flooding his basement. They shook it like an earthquake for a week, he said, adding that with the pieces falling out of the wall and the recent rains, ...the water was just pouring in. This is serious, he continued. This is something that I will not stand...I will not wait around six months or a year to get done. Im giving thirty days. If I dont see action, Im getting a lawyer, and Im suing the hell out of somebody. I dont know who, and I dont care, but the building is going to start sinking on one side. This (the pavement removal process) was done wrong. Mr. Blue said that Gleason has insurance to cover incidents like this, and that he has been riding them to get the repairs taken care of. Village Solicitor Tom Thompson noted that Gleason has been notified and that it is up to them to get the ball rolling. The Administrators report of Mr. Blue noted the concerns of the village pertaining to the business footing of Gleason, especially with the rumors circulating of the potential bankruptcy of the company. If necessary, the village still has an approximately $4.6 million performance bond to fall back upon should Gleason fail to finish the sewer separation tasks remaining. Due to weather issues, Gleason requested the enacting of Change Order 3-A, extending the contract deadline until May 15. Council approved the measure without dissent. Council approved the payment of bills totaling $146,056.36. Under suspended rules of reading, Council approved a revised Ordinance 2014-04 designating annual appropriations. Council also suspended the rules of reading to adopt Resolution 2014-01, authorizing Mr. Blue to enter into an agreement with ODOT for the inspection of bridges.

Fulton County Participates In National County Government Month

The Fulton County Commissioners announce that April is National County Government Month (NCGM). NCGM, held each April, is an annual celebration of county Government. With the encouragement of the National Association of Counties (NACo), Fulton County will be participating in a variety of ways this year. The theme this year is Ready and Resilient Counties: Prepare. Respond. Thrive. National County Government Month is an excellent way for Fulton County to kick off initiatives weve been working on to highlight county programs and to raise public awareness and understanding of county government, notes Toni Schindler, Director of Marketing and Communications for the Fulton County Commissioners. Counties are a vital part of our local communities. Counties build infrastructure, maintain roads and bridges, provide health care, administer justice, keep communities safe, run elections, manage solid waste, keep records and much more. The initiatives we are launching are going to highlight county services in several different mediums. The first of these initiatives to begin in April is a collaboration with local radio station, 96.1 WMTR. We will be launching a 5-10 minute radio show called The Commissioners Corner in which I will interview various elected officials, highlight departments, note upcoming events and important information that the Commissioners would like to convey to the public, Schindler notes. Aprils shows will highlight the NCGM theme and highlight ways in which Fulton County prepare, respond and thrive in todays ever challenging environment. The program will be produced every two weeks, and will be inserted at various times throughout the week into local WMTR programming. Other initiatives that will be launched during the month of April will be a Quarterly Newsletter, highlighting similar information. This will be distributed in hard copy with an e-mail option via the Notify Me section on the County Website. The public can sign up for the newsletter as well as several other alerts pertaining to various county departments. Additionally, the county will be posting Did You Know fact(s) every day of the month of April on the front page of the website and their Facebook and Twitter pages. To access this information, visit www.fultoncountyoh.com Were very excited to launch these initiatives states Commissioner Rupp, Board President. Fulton County has so much to offer, and County government can be somewhat of an enigma to the general public. We plan on offering this communication not only for National County Government Month, but on an ongoing basis.
In order to open and improve the grounds at 4-H Camp Palmer, we need volunteer help. Does your club or organization need a service project? Youth ages 8-15 years of age, must be accompanied by an adult. All volunteers on April 12 will be provided a picnic lunch around noon.

Dons Automotive Group To Host Benefit For McKenna Nicole Knipp

McKenna Nicole Knipp was born on February 4 2014 at the Fulton County Health Center following a normal pregnancy and delivery. Within the first 24 hours following her birth, McKenna was transported to Toledo Childrens Hospital. After seven days, McKenna was then transported to Mott Childrens Hospital in Ann Arbor, Michigan. After many tests and procedures, McKenna has been diagnosed with a genetic disorder known as CHARGE Syndrome. As a result of this disorder, McKenna has two large holes in her heart that will require surgery, is unable to swallow and protect her airways, and is receiving her nutrition through a G-Tube. With this diagnosis, McKenna will be facing many challenges duing life; some of which are unknown at this time. Mckenna is the daughter of Wade and Whitney (Weber) Knipp of Archbold. Grandparents are Steve and Molly Knipp of Archbold, and Roger and Beth Weber of Pettisville. To help offset the ongoing medical expenses, Dons Automotive Group Wauseon along with Wade and Whitneys families and friends will be hosting a Benefit on April 26, 2014 at the Pettisville Missionary Church from 4:30pm - 8:00pm. Dinner will be a Freewill Donation. Come enjoy a 50/50 raffle, games for the kids, an auc-
A precious few moments in the life of a child are gone all too quickly as children grow up. Last March Heather Hartlen of Canada captured some precious footage of a tiny baby and sadly reflected on this very truth. She realized that many parents never have professional photos of their newborn children. Thus was born the Tiny Footprints Project, a free service where photographers offer their services free of charge to parents of babies born in the NICU. The program quickly spread and the project now serves the United States as well. Locally, Sierra Medina, a selfemployed photographer from Wauseon who specializes in labor and delivery photography, learned of the Tiny Footprints Project on Facebook via a group she is a part of for newborn photographers. Moved by the greater desire to give back to the community, Sierra requested information about how she could become a part of this project. Sierra, a graduate of Four County Career Centers Graphic Design program, has enjoyed taking pictures since she was a small child. At the age of seven she received a Polaroid camera and took pictures of everything including the stones in the driveway. While in high school she was an active part of the yearbook. Mr. Buchholz, her graphic arts teacher, whom she credits for encouraging and helping her in her photography skills, continues to be a mentor even today. Sierra, who moved to Wauseon from Holgate in 2012 to be closer to her finance, discovered a love of labor and delivery photography when her pregnant neighbor asked her to do some photos of her actual labor and delivery. This type of photo shoot captures the first few precious moments of life and provides parents with a priceless keepsake. It is a relatively new concept in photography in our local area. While Sierra says she will do any type of photography, her passion is in newborn and labor and delivery photos. It seems natural that Sierra would be interested in such an amazing project as the Tiny Footprints Project. Any family with a baby in the NICU qualifies for a free session with Tiny Footprints. Tiny Footprints is a non-profit organization. Photographers, who volunteer their services, pay a $10 fee which provides them with an official badge identifying them as a Tiny Footprints photographer. Photographers can accept no cash donations but are permitted to accept gas card donations. So far Sierra has photographed three babies through the Tiny Footprints Project including a set of twins who underwent open heart surgery and the baby of a Toledo Police Department officer. She has done photo shoots at Toledo Childrens Hospital and Mercy St. Vincents Hospital in Toledo. To Sierras knowledge she is the only Tiny Footprints photographer in this local area. Tracy Lee from Defiance, the mother of the twin babies, who had her babies on
February 17 at 23 weeks and 4 days, was told that the baby girls would not survive birth. The babies are presently in the NICU at St Vincents hospital in Toledo. Tracy shares that the Tiny Footprints Project was a blessing. She says, Sierra was so polite, so friendly, so caring, and did such an amazing job that I would recommend them [Tiny Footprints] to anyone. They are truly a blessing to anybody to do such an amazing thing for people in the same situation that we are in. Anyone who knows they will be delivering prematurely can pre-arrange a Tiny Footprints photo session. Besides the photo session, families also receive a photo necklace through Picture Perfect Printing and Gifts. There are no income stipulations. Once the photographer has finished the session the family will receive the photos within 30 days. The family will then receive all photos that turn out on disc or a digital download with a form for print release. With Sierras experience in labor and delivery, she states, I feel comfortable with complicated delivery situations. Given the delicate health of babies in the NICU, Sierra acknowledges that sometimes these stories do not always have happy endings. The Tiny Footprints Project provides parents with something special, something tangible to hold onto. Its a win-win situation. Parents have images to look back on as their babies grow or they have something to treasure, Sierra attests. For more information about the Tiny Footprints project, you may e-mail them at bookingsusa@thetinyfootprintsproject. com and provide your name, phone number, name and location of the hospital, and approximate time your baby will be in the NICU. Once the request has been made, the family will be matched with a photographer. Tiny Footprints Project can also be found on Facebook at Tiny Footprints Project. For more information about Sierras photos, check out her Facebook page, Sierra Medina Photography.

Community Comes Together To Support Wauseon Family

painful and costly. The cost of the treatments and medicines, along with the travel expenses that are accumulated going to and from the doctors visits, add up. Over the course of the eight years since Thanes original diagnosis, the bills have continued to build. One of the great benefits of living in a close-knit community is knowing that others will always be there to help those in need and this case was no different. Friends, family, and community members from throughout the area gathered to help alleviate some of these costs as a benefit was held in honor of young Thane Sunday afternoon at Crossroads Church in Wauseon. A spaghetti dinner was served to the hundreds of guests in attendance. Many items were being raffled and auctioned off, cookies and cakes were sold, faces were painted, and a photo booth snapped pictures of visitors, with all the proceeds from these stations going to the family to help offset the bills that come from the treatments that help Thane fight his disease. The support from the community means is much appreciated by Thanes family. To think that an entire community would care and love this kid as much as they do feels amazing. Thanes brother Wade said It RAFFLE ... Many auctions and raffles took place at the makes our situation a thousand times easier to know benefit, as all money raised went back to the family. we arent alone. The encouraging words and prayers mean the most. It means more than Ill ever be able to express. If you were not able to make it out to the benefit, you can still donate to the cause by contacting Tanja Ringle, the director to the benefit. She can be reached my emailing her at tjringle93@yahoo.com, or calling her at 419-367-4024. Donations will still be gladly accepted. Thane continues to fight day in and day out against this awful disease, and is a reminder to us all that life is valuable. We should all strive to live our lives in the way that Thane does. With passion and vitality, even in the face of adverse situations. Thane is proof that you do not have to be tall for people to look up to you.

By: Mitchell Peebles THE VILLAGE REPORTER He has the ability to show an entire community how to have a true passion for life and how to stay strong. This was how Defiance College basketball star and Wauseon graduate Wade Wooley described the personality of his younger brother Thane. Thane is a 12 year old Wauseon student who enjoys playing basketball, video games, and chowing down on his moms home cooked meals. You wouldnt know it by how he acts and how he lives his life but Thane has had an on going battle with a serious medical issue. At only four years of age Thane was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma, a type of cancer where nerve cells improperly form and grow in to cancer cells instead.

Sportsmen & Hunters Come Together For Dining Opportunity

By: Mitchell Peebles THE VILLAGE REPORTER Sportsmen, hunters, and adventurous eaters alike gathered in Wauseon this past weekend as the Fulton County Fairgrounds played host to the Big Game Hunt Dinner. This is the first year that the dinner has been held, giving guests the opportunity to gather together and sample some unique foods. The menu for the night contained such specialty eats as turtle soup, elk, buffalo, wild boar, moose, and even black bear. On the night of the Big Game Hunt Dinner, dinnergoers could stack their plates to the brim with these delicacies, some of which cannot be bought, and can only be enjoyed if hunted. However, the food was not the only thing that the guests enjoyed. According to Randy Smith, coordinator of the Big Game Hunt Dinner, the fellowship that the hunters enjoy is one of the best parts of the dinner. One of the greatest things about gathering together is getting to listen to other hunters talk about their past hunts. The stories they tell are exciting and fun said Smith. Mr. Smith says that the dinner is more than just a gathering, it is a culmination of many years of preparation and effort to help others enjoy hunting like he has. My goal for putting on this game dinner is to help others have that hunt he or she has always wanted he said Most my life I have been an outdoorsman. I have always loved camping, fishing, hunting, trapping, etc. I have been very fortunate to hunt the game that I have inside and outside the

There were also chances for guests to win their own big game hunts, including a chance to hunt moose, caribou, mountain lion, black bear, and wild boar. The proceeds from these drawings will be used to help with the advancement of the dinner in the future and to help educate the youth on hunting. We are putting the profit towards youth education of gun shooting, bow shooting, and putting on youth hunts. This is the first year for this game dinner and I have personally spent $20,000 to start this function. I believe educating the young people of America will save lives and create better values. Education is knowledge and knowledge is safety and freedom. Hunting has played a big role in Mr. Smiths life and he wants to help others share in the enjoyment that he has had. Hunting trips are always memorable, always different, and always new. One never knows what is around the corner when you are on the hunt of an exotic game, said Smith. The night saw nearly 500 guests enjoy the company of fellow hunters. Hunting, according to Mr. Smith, has many parallels to life itself, as well as that much DONATIONS ...
