Wauseons Ace Hardware Paints A Pretty Picture For Habitat
DONATION ... The General Manager, Rick Stidham, of Ace Hardware presents Robert Nafziger, Habitat Board President, and Heidi Kern, Habitat Executive Director, with five shopping carts of paint. This generous donation will be used to further the Habitat mission in Fulton County.
Ace Hardware recently made a large donation of paint to our local Habitat for Humanity affiliate. The numerous gallons and quart size containers filled five shopping carts and hold a retail value of over $3500.00. This donation will help Fulton Countys Habitat organization continue its mission of building simple, decent homes at affordable prices for local families in need, along with assisting with the newest part of the Habitat mission: weatherizing and rehabilitating existing homes. Habitat for Humanity builds homes and partners with qualified families who then purchase the homes with zero percent interest mortgage payments. Each family must perform sweat equity, working on the homes the program builds and attending educational classes on home ownership and budgeting. Habitat for Humanity keeps the cost of building homes low by securing donated and low priced materials, services, funding, and contract labor. Without the aid and

support of county businesses, churches, organizations such as The United Way, and individual contributions, Habitat for Humanity could not fulfill this mission. This is not the first time Ace Hardware has blessed the Habitat mission, and Habitat for Humanity is grateful to owners Jeff and Becky Rupp for their generosity. Fulton Countys affiliate is planning to offer weatherization and small project assistance to local families in need who are willing to partner with Habitat. This new part of the mission will follow the same guidelines as the new home build portion and will be offered in the near future. If you or your organization would like to be part of this, please contact the Habitat office at 419-335-7000. Thank you to ACE Hardware of Wauseon, Jeff and Becky Rupp, and their employees for this generous donation; please consider patronizing the organizations that help us improve the neighborhoods and communities in which we all live and work.
At the tender age of 10, Edon, Ohio native Roxanne Schuller was bitten by the travel bug. Fast forward to over 20 years later, and youll find that she has visited between 70 and 80 different countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America. Roxanne grew up in a family headed by a single mother. They didnt have a car, yet her mother worked hard to provide for her children. Roxanne, in turn, had to work hard for everything, and she learned the value of work while very young. She counts herself fortunate to have grown up in a small town, and says that she is fond of Edon to this day. It has made me who I am. She recalled that momentous day when she was 10 years-old, and Peace Corps volunteers who had just returned for a stint in Swaziland spoke to a church group about their travels and experiences. She was entranced by their slideshow of pictures, and touched when she heard about the extreme poverty of the nation. She had always thought that she was poor, but that day forever redefined her perception of poverty. Her eyes were opened to another culture and way of life. From that day on, she was fascinated by the National Geographic magazine, spending hours at the library thumbing through old issues. She also obtained maps of different countries and the world, and plastered them on her bedroom walls. Though she was confined to Edon, Ohio due to lack transportation, she dreamed of seeing the world. She memorized the capitols of countries around the world, and learned which language was spoken in those various lands. She was 18 years-old when she made her first trip out of the United States. CONTINUED ON PAGE 9 She and her high school boyfriend were gifted with a trip to Cancun, Mexico from his parents. It was also her first trip on an airplane, and this springbreak adventure set the tone for my life. She remains very grateful to her benefactors. Roxanne moved on to attend Bowling Green State University after high school and majored Your Hometown News Source in International Studies,
graduating in 1999. She worked hard in college and even began a campus chapter of Amnesty International. She feels that her experiences and work in college afforded her opportunities that she might not otherwise have had. Because of this, she was able to stand out to get a position as an intern in the State Department and was a White House correspondent during the Clinton Administration. She spoke of feeling awkward at her first press conference amid all of the professionals in their expensive suits and dresses, while she felt out of place in her simple suit. She adapted quickly, and since that time has learned to adapt to whatever situation and place in which she may find herself, whether at a formal event, or dancing with local tribes in Africa. In 2004, Roxanne entered the Peace Corps and served in Madagascar, the island country off the southeast coast of Africa, for two years. Her job was as an educator, mostly teaching about malaria prevention. Volunteers with the Peace Corps live in the villages and among the people in the same conditions as those who are natives of the land. She received a small stipend of equal to about $100 per month, with which she was able to purchase chickens, milk, and eggs. Madagascar is one of the poorest countries in the world, and the entire income for the community was only about $100 per year, so this small amount of money was actually very generous. Prior to her time in Africa, Roxanne did not even like to camp out but she adapted to living in a primitive hut, which included other tenants such as snakes and scorpions. Quickly adjusting to the situation, she learned to remove them from her hut. She was impressed by how well she was supported by the community of Edon and by the Lutheran Church during her time in Madagascar. People ...

Fulton County Health Center To Franklin B. Walter All-Scholastic Awards Winners Announced Celebrate National Public Health Week
The Franklin B. Walter Scholarship Awards Program was established by the Ohio Superintendents Educational Service Center Association to promote student achievement and recognize outstanding students. A senior from each county within the State of Ohio will receive the award annually. This scholarship award is named in honor of Franklin B. Walter, who served as State Superintendent Of Education for Ohio from March 1977 until August 1991. Throughout his career, Dr. Walter exemplified concern for young people and dedicated his life to the improvement of education in Ohio. Applicants must be a high school senior from a local, city, or exempted village school within the County. Eligible students must demonstrate outstanding academic achievements as indicated by high school test scores and achievement awards as stipulated by the Franklin B. Walter program. The students are expected to have been a positive contributor in their high school and in their Community. All applications must be completed according to deadlines established. The Northwest Ohio Educational Service Center, serving Defiance, Fulton, Henry and Williams Counties, fully support the Franklin B. Walter Program. The NwOESC Franklin B. Walter Recognition and Celebration program was held on Monday, March 10th, 2014 at the Northwest Ohio Educational Service Center building in Archbold, OH. The NwOESC expanded the recognition to include one outstanding student in each of our 23 school districts as well as the Four County Career Center to receive a scholarship award of $200 each. Then, one student from each county is selected and the overall county winner and is awarded $500. To promote teaching excellence, along with student achievement, one teacher is recognized in each district. The district student winners are asked to write a tribute to the teacher who has been the most positive influence on the students success in school. The students provide the tributes to the teacher at the recognition celebration. In addition, one special education provider is recognized from each county for the work done on behalf of students with disabilities across northwest Ohio. These special educators are nominated by area administrators for going above and beyond in their work. The local winners are: Marcus Stoltzfus of Fayette, honoring Teacher Barbra Bruggeman. Christopher Yackee of Wauseon, honoring Teacher Eric Richer. Baylee Gearhart of Edon, honoring Teacher Lauren Hurtig. Emily Maneval of Millcreek, honoring Teacher Cristin Hagans. Conner Varner of Stryker, honoring Teacher Katie Jimenez. Marinna Mercer of Montpelier, honoring Teacher Matthew Kaullen, and Nathaniel McBride of North Central, honoring Teacher Amanda House.

National Public Health Week is from April 7th through April 13th this year. This week was created to celebrate the work of public health systems in support of better health for all. The theme is Public Health: Start Here and the focus is on raising awareness about the changing world of public health and prevention in our lives. Fulton County Health Department invites you to celebrate Public Health Week with us. Check out our website, www. fultoncountyhealthdept. com, and visit our Facebook page for daily themes and information about our programs. Displays will be set up in the Health Department all week highlighting our services provided to our community. The value of a strong public health system is quite literally all around us - its in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, and the places where we all live, learn, work, and play. From maternal health and school nutrition to emergency preparedness, public health starts at home. Good health doesnt happen by chance; it is shaped and nurtured - its connected to the environments in which we live, work, and play; its tied to the resources available in INFORMATION PROVIDED our communities; and
a persons access to health care. Prevention is a nationwide priority. Help us work to be the healthiest nation in one generation. We need public health to monitor West Nile virus or other emerging diseases and implement prevention strategies; make sure new moms have the resources and knowledge they need to have healthy babies; enforce food safety rules and investigate foodborne illness outbreaks; respond to and prepare communities for natural disasters and emergencies; provide access to vaccines; test our drinking water; ensure clean marine water for growing shellfish; and so much more. Public health is so broad in terms of improving our
quality of life that its nearly impossible to comprehend its impact in its entirety. National Public Health Week, April 7-13, 2014, is the perfect time to begin thinking about the critical role that public health and prevention play in keeping communities healthy. This week we have a wonderful opportunity to empower our family, friends, neighbors, and perhaps most importantly, ourselves. This is a time for the community to work together to make Fulton County a healthier place to live, work and raise a family. Public Health: Start HERE. For more information go to www. fultoncountyhealthdept. com or call 419-3370915.

Im back! he wittily announced to the delight of everyone in attendance. It was just last year the well-respected and admired Stoll was feted during a poignant farewell celebration only to be brought out of retirement for one more final year at Edon High School. Have you looked at our theme on the front of the program? the longtime mentor noted. Its Ignite. Now one thing [you should know]; as a teacher, you dont always get that ignition [right away]. It may be freshman year, it may be sophomore year ~ it may not even be while theyre in high school; it takes awhile on some things. But the other part is, at some point ~ and thats what fun about being here forever, Paul lightheartedly remarked, is seeing former students being successful in life; seeing their growth. For a teacher, thats the [best] part were rewarded with: the success of our students. And thats the theme tonight ~ what we work hard at ~ to ignite that leadership; growth; success [in our students]. Paul then went on to give explanation on what he had adopted as his own theme. My theme for this year is Second Chances, he emotionally began. It started with the opportunity to teach full time [again]. I did not think I would be here tonight in the capacity I am; I didnt think that at all a year ago. Its been a blessing for me to do this. This second part is hard, Paul shared as he continued on a more personal note. You dont always get second chances with your parents and I did. Through tears he proudly stated: Im glad my mom and dad are here tonight! Crediting the many volunteers and students who stepped up and helped during a time it was appreciated most, he made it through. I was struggling; [my students] probably didnt even know it, but I did get that second chance [with my parents]; everything worked out for a purpose. Before closing out his

thirty-five year stint as Advisor, Paul got a second chance to proudly don his 1975 FFA Blue Jacket as he said he would. I guess my philosophy has been he started as his voice quieted. Im not the smartest person in the world, and I dont pretend to be, but my philosophy has always been Im going to outwork the other person. Thats what Ive tried to instill in my kids. Youre not always going to be [the smart one], but you can outwork people. So tonight, I thank you for the opportunity to teach here at Edon High School. Thank you Mr. Ewers for bringing me back; its been great. Ive appreciated all the support and thank you for attending. Midst tears, thunderous applause and a richlydeserved standing ovation, Paul unassumingly exited the podium once last time as Edon FFA Chapter Advisor, returning to his station to witness the outpouring of heartfelt respect, appreciation, and affection from a grateful community. Paul had his opportunities for second chances; his students and friends now had theirs. With all business addressed, awards received, and 75th Anniversary Commemorative Mason Jar mugs distributed, the Annual Edon FFA Banquet was adjourned for another year.

donated bags and boxes of books to send overseas so that Roxanne could start a library in the village. She remains touched that people came together to support her. Since that time, she has visited many more countries, both for work and for personal reasons, with much of it paid from her own pocket. She has lived in England, France, Ireland, Indonesia, Panama, and Madagascar. She has visited many other countries. Most of her trips last from one to two weeks, though some have been for as long as a month. Her most recent trip was to Ecuador in South America. Roxanne finds it difficult to name one country in particular as her favorite, but said that she has been particularly fond of northern Thailand where she was charmed by the city of Chiang Mai. She loved how polite the people are, their culture, the food, and the environment. She shared that it was also one of the safest places for a single woman to travel. As a frequent solo traveler, this was significant to Roxanne. She also mentioned Italy as among her favorite countries, and also Tanzania, where she found amazing safaris, and a rich culture. Wherever she finds friendly, loving people, she also falls in love with the country. During all of her travels, she has found that speaking English serves her well, though she does speak some French and Madagasy, both of which are official languages of Madagascar. When asked if she ever thought of permanently making her home overseas, Roxanne was quick to say that the United States

GROUPIES ... Roxanne said that the idea of privacy didnt exactly exist in my village in Madagascar, as children hung out in her window at all times. would always be her home base. She shared that the more I travel, the more I appreciate this country which has such amazing resources. She also appreciates the U.S.s unique blend of all races and cultures of people. Though she has traveled all over the world, she finds the time to return to the Edon and surrounding area about once per year. Roxanne has worked as an analyst for the government for the last 8 years and presently makes her home in Washington, D.C. Settling down has never been her priority, but she has found an equal partner who loves traveling as much as I do, and they are planning their wedding. They plan to live their life with no plans and to live in the moment and accept what God has for them. Whatever they do, continuing to see the world will be part of her life. This adventurous woman has led a fascinating life, and expects to add many more countries to her travel roster. Her life is proof that a little girl or boy with big dreams can work hard to make those dreams come true. She has done just that, and has given back to the world in return.

Montpelier Parks & Recreation Montpelier Boys & Girls Department Holds Monthly Meeting 2014 Buckeye State Delegates
Our summer leadership and citizenship programs, sponsored by the American Legion and the American legion Auxiliary, are for high school students between their junior and senior years. These programs are held in each of the U.S. States (excluding Hawaii) and are usually on a college campus within that state. In general, male and female programs are held separately and mirror each other in content. Buckeye Boys State began in 1936 and Buckeye Girls State began in 1947. Buckeye Boys State is held at Bowling Green State University from June 8th to June 15th. Buckeye Girls State is held at University of Mount Union, Alliance, Ohio from June 15th to June 21st. Program participants are first divided up into subgroups referred to as cities. The citizens of each of these cities elect mock municipal officials and representatives to the mock state legislature. If enough citizens are present, then a county level is added to the program between city and state. The participants also elect state officials, such as governor, lieutenant governor, and other state-level officials that their real state has. The legislature meets to organize, elect leaders, and to pass bills, in a way that is similar to how their actual legislature operates. The program takes a hands-on approach by running the mock government activities all week. Boys/Girls State is typically staffed by Legion members and community leaders who volunteer their time and effort. Administrative costs are defrayed by their state Legion organizations. Boys/Girls State participants are selected with the help of high school principals or guidance counselors in consultation with the schools local American Legion leadership. Selection is merit-based and includes consideration of grades and leadership potential. Todays largest Boys State occurs annually in Ohio with over 1,300 boys. A group from Israel recently visited the Buckeye Boys State in Ohio to use it as a template for their own version. This Years Buckeye Girls and Boys State Delegates are Marisa Hillard, Lisa Cook, Nate McCord, Hunter McKelvey, all of Montpelier, OH. A number of local Community, Civic, and Fraternal organizations assist the American Legion in sponsoring young men and women to American Legion Buckeye Girls/Boys State. Among these organizations are the Montpelier Eagles; St. Pauls United Methodist Church Mens Group; Montpelier Rotary; and CK Technologies along with the Williams County VFW Post 944.

reports were approved. Don Brown provided the park update. He has been busy picking up trash and branches throughout the park. He recently attended an OSHA meeting on blood born pathogens as well. He has been working diligently throughout the park getting everything ready for the upcoming season. Mr. Brown has also been conducting interviews for park help. He has April 26th set to interview lifeguards for the pool. Due to changes in federal regulations there will be a change in which guards will be able to tend to the water slide. The attendant must be at least 16 years of age because the water is power driven. Quotes were also reviewed from three separate businesses for purchasing 14 gauge type 304 stainless steel urinals and toilets for the bathroom facilities at the park. A motion was made and approved to allow Mr. Brown to proceed with the purchase once the final details were worked out. Having stainless steel will eliminate the cracking
as seen in porcelain throughout the winter months. Sandy Gordon provided the recreation report. The program guides will be sent to the press this week and they should return the first week in May. She has also been conducting interviews for concession stand help. The parks sponsorship fee is now $500 and this will pay for equipment and treats. With summer quickly approaching, the parks lunch program will be running. The park has received approximately $1500 in donations to this program. Thank you letters will be sent out shortly to those contributors. Last year 2000 lunches were provided and this year the expectations are similar. The board then went into executive session. The board meets the first Wednesday of each month at the Recreation Office located at 932 South Pleasant Street at 7:00 p.m.

Pioneer Writer On Fire With Women On Fire

to inspirational speakers while also providing small group opportunities to connect on a more personal level. During these small group sessions of about six women, participants are asked to discuss personal topics such as what they are most proud of, what they struggle with, personal goals, and what they are on fire about. Kay says it is a time of sharing and listening. Women of all ages, races, and religious beliefs attend these events. The main criteria is that these women have a desire to lift up other women. Kay has heard famous speakers including Stedman Graham, known as Oprah Winfreys boyfriend, while at a Women on Fire retreat in Chicago. So what does a Women on Fire retreat have in common with Kays love of writing? Kay began writing long before she began attending these retreats. In fact, Kays love of writing is rooted in her childhood. She credits her second grade teacher, who kept all her stories, for inspiring her. In 2004, her college instructor provided an opportunity for extra credit through journaling. This instructor encouraged her to someday write a book. Fast forward to October 2011. At the Women on Fire retreat, Kay approached Debbie about her upcoming book, a compilation of inspirational stories for women. Kay shared with Debbie that she would be very interested in sharing her story in the book. Stories were limited to 3,000 words in a Chicken Soup for the Soul type of format. Kays story entitled Life Along the Borderline confronts her daughters mental illness. The story covers mainly her daughters teen years and Kays perspective as a mother. This is something that Kay always wanted to write about. I sat down and wrote an emotional 3,000 words in three hours. When Kay received word that her story had been accepted to be included in the book, she says, Im not a crier, but I literally sobbed. My dream was coming true. Last April, Kay along with 17 of the 21 authors in the book, were able to gather in New York City for a day. After a professional make-up session, Kay was filmed for inclusion in the trailer for the book. The trailer can be viewed at the Women on Fire website: www.womenonfire.com. Kay says this was a wonderful opportunity to meet the other authors. In December 2013, the book was published. At this years Women on Fire retreat held in Naples, Florida February 28-March 1, Kay had the opportunity to share with other women the name of her story and a brief synopsis of it. She says the entire The Women on Fire retreat in Naples, Florida was fabulous. The retreat included a book signing as well as a private gathering for all the authors at Debbies Naples home. Besides writing for the Village Reporter and her Women on Fire story, Kay is a full-time student working towards her Bachelors degree in Social Work from the Defiance College. She will graduate in May and looks forward to working as a social worker and having more time to write. Although she has no book signings scheduled at this time, she definitely plans to focus on this when school is completed. Kay, who retains the rights to her story, has dreams to someday develop the chapter from Women on Fire into her own book. Kay is inspired. I am looking forward to the future and where life will take me. Her spouse Mike, a pastor, is supportive and encouraging in her writing journey. The book has been read and endorsed by multiple authors including Judy Blume who read the entire book. With a smile and a sense of gratitude, Kay affirms, Knowing that Judy Blume read my story, wow. Kay feels very blessed. At my age of fifty-five, my dreams are coming true Im getting my Bachelors degree, Im going to be a social worker, Im published in a book, and Ive traveled to New York City. Its happening.

On March 28th, the library was transformed into a movie theatre where the new Disney hit movie Frozen was viewed. Sleeping bags, pillows and dozens of children (and a few adults too) arrived in their jammies to snuggle in to watch the movie. The tables and chairs were cleared in the childrens department and the bare floor was covered with bean bag chairs and blankets to stretch out on. Popcorn, candy and drinks were available in true theatre-type fashion. The next Family Night at the library will be held on Friday April 25th. The family favorite board game Candy Land will be brought to life...full size life! It will be a fun evening to attend! The library would like families to sign up if they are interested in attending to be able to plan for snacks and prizes. Please call the Fayette Library at 419-237-2115 for more information and to sign up for the Candy Land event.

Turn To Spring Car Care After Rough Winter

Many vehicles were neglected during the recent brutal winter months and could use a little extra care by now. The Car Care Council recommends setting aside a little time during National Car Care Month in April to get your vehicle ready for the spring and summer driving season. Your car has gotten you through one of the worst winters in recent memory, working overtime in harsh conditions, but the extreme cold, potholes and road salt have taken a toll, said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. Since most Americans rely on their vehicles nearly every day to get to work, school, and everywhere in between, taking a little time for car care now can save headaches and money in the long run. The non-profit Car Care Council recommends that motorists follow three simple steps during National Car Care Month in April. Keep your vehicle clean. Regular car washes and waxes protect the paint and body of your car from corrosive debris. In parts of the country where salt is used on the roads, regularly washing is especially important. Keep your car on schedule. Every vehicle has a manufacturer recommended maintenance schedule. Whether you choose to do your own maintenance or patronize a local repair shop, following a routine service schedule is essential to keeping your car in safe and dependable working order. Keep an eye on the little things. Your windshield wipers arent cleaning as well as they should? Your gas tank is missing its cap? Theres a warning light on your dashboard? When you see your car needs attention, dont delay. Repairing small things now can help avoid more costly problems down the road, and add years of useful vehicle life.

Pothole Season and Your Car... Dont look now, but youre probably about to hit another pothole. This years brutal winter weather has resulted in an unprecedented number of potholes appearing on roads and highways across the country, causing considerable damage and unexpected, costly repairs for car owners. No matter where you drive these days, theres a pothole epidemic and as winter turns to spring, its only going to get worse, said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. Drivers know immediately when they hit a pothole, but what they dont know is if their vehicle has been damaged in the process. While tires and wheels can be visually checked, potholes can also cause considerable damage to the steering, suspension and alignment systems that you just cant see. Motorists will spend nearly $5 billion on car repairs from damage caused by potholes, according to a recent report by WJLATV in Washington D.C. The U.S. PIRG Education Fund and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) estimate that poor road conditions cost the average
Potholes Can Put A Hole In Your Wallet
motorist around $335 a year. If you hit a pothole while driving, the Car Care Council recommends that you watch for the following warning signs and have your vehicle inspected by a professional technician without delay. Loss of control, swaying when making routine turns, bottoming out on city streets or bouncing excessively on rough roads. These are indicators that the steering and suspension may have been damaged. The steering and suspension are key safety-related systems.
Together, they largely determine your cars ride and handling. Key components are shocks and/ or struts, the steering knuckle, ball joints, the steering rack/box, bearings, seals, and hub units and tie rod ends. Pulling in one direction, instead of maintaining a straight path, and uneven tire wear. These symptoms mean theres an alignment problem. Proper wheel alignment is important for the lifespan of tires and helps ensure safe handling. Low tire pressure, bulges or blisters on the
sidewalls, or dents in the rim. These problems will be visible and should be checked out as soon as possible as tires are the critical connection between your car and the road in all sorts of driving conditions.

Six Vehicle Warning Signs Your Nose Can Recognize

Smell Test - Most vehicles start out with a new car smell, but there are other specific odors that motorists should never ignore. Identifying these suspect smells early on can help car owners be car care aware and avoid the hassle and expense of an unexpected breakdown, says the Car Care Council. Unusual smells can be the sign of serious, and potentially costly, trouble for your vehicle. By acting quickly and making necessary repairs, youll be able to breathe easy knowing there is no harmful damage to your car, said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. The Car Care Council recommends a sniff test of your vehicle to identify any unusual smells, including the following six warning signs: 1. The smell of burnt rubber could be slipping drive belts or misplaced loose hoses that might be rubbing against rotating accessory drive pulleys. Do not reach in if the engine compartment is hot. 2. The smell of hot oil could mean that oil is leaking onto the exhaust system. To verify the leak, look for oil on the pavement or smoke coming from the engine area. 3. The smell of gasoline is likely the sign of a gas leak in some area of the vehicle such as a fuel injector line or the fuel tank. Any smell of fuel can result in a possible fire hazard, so immediate attention should be given. 4. The sweet smell of syrup may be a sign that your car is leaking engine coolant from a leaky component related to the cars cooling system. Do not open the radiator cap when it is hot. 5. The smell of burning carpet could be a sign of brake trouble and a safety hazard. Have your brakes checked right away, especially if this smell is happening during normal driving conditions. 6. The smell of rotten eggs is never a good one and, if you smell it coming from your vehicle, it could mean a problem with your catalytic converter not converting the hydrogen sulfide in the exhaust to sulfur dioxide properly. This smell can also be attributed to a poor running engine, causing the catalytic converter to become overloaded and fail due to meltdown.

When you smell any peculiar odor, you should not ignore it. Instead bring your vehicle to a professional service technician that you trust to get an informed opinion on the nature of the odor, concluded White.

Car Care Council Tips Help Save Money As Gas Prices Near $4
Consumers pain at the pump is back with gas prices rising for 33 consecutive days according to the Washington Post and the average price of gas moving closer to $4 per gallon. No need to worry, says the Car Care Council. A few simple and inexpensive vehicle maintenance tips can help alleviate the pain. You cant control the price of gas, but you can control how much gas you burn by performing proper maintenance and how you drive. Performing simple and inexpensive maintenance can save as much as $1,200 per year in gas costs, said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. The Car Care Council offers these gas-saving maintenance tips: Keep your car properly tuned to improve gas mileage by an average of 4 percent. Keep tires properly inflated and improve gas mileage by up to 3.3 percent. Replace dirty or clogged air filters and improve gas mileage by as much as 10 percent. Improve gas mileage by 1-2 per-

cent by using the manufacturers recommended grade of motor oil. Driving behavior also impacts fuel efficiency. The council offers these gas saving driving tips: Observe the speed limit. Gas mileage decreases rapidly above 50 mph. Each 5 mph over 50 mph is like paying an additional $0.25 per gallon for gas, according to www. fueleconomy.gov. Avoid excessive idling. Idling gets zero miles per gallon. Warming up the vehicle for one or two minutes is sufficient. Avoid quick starts and stops. Aggressive driving can lower gas mileage by 33 percent on the highway and 5 percent in the city. Consolidate trips. Several short trips taken from a cold start can use twice as much gas as one longer multi-purpose trip. Dont haul unneeded items in the trunk. An extra 100 pounds in 600 E.

The Wauseon High School Theater Department is set to bring audiences Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. The famous musical comes to the WHS auditorium April 11, 12, and 13. The cast and crew have been working feverishly over the last three months despite the weather obstacles and other common roadblocks, but this cast and its director, Jason Robinson, could not be more excited about the performances. I wanted to try Joseph because I thought it would be a challenge, Robinson began. It is a musical and story that most people have a good knowledge of. The past few years we have done Once on This Island and Pippen, musicals that people were not necessarily familiar with. This musical has a high degree of expectation going into it. Obviously, I just thought it was time to return to something that is a little more traditional that the community would know and be familiar with. But mainly it was because the talent is here and is available for this production. One of the pieces of talent that has been found and not common in most Wauseon productions is dancing. Joseph lends itself to dancing and singing and Robinson saw that as a big part of the challenge that he wanted to attack. I thought all around that it was a really good concept to push for since we had more time in the schedule. I just thought it would be great to present something like this to
our fine community right before Easter. One of the main stumbling blocks that not only put a damper on play rehearsals, but life in general, was this historic winter time weather. We had to cancel some rehearsals, Robinson said. We probably lost three or four rehearsals because of the weather situation. It backed us up a bit and put a little extra pressure on us, but we had some extra time that was built in. And I am a firm believer in that fact that God gives you all the time you need to get a job done. It was not an overnight decision to bring Joseph to the WHS stage. Robinson took a few weeks to finally decide to give it a shot. When we did Les Mis and Once on This Island those were constant music the entire time. So the thought of doing an operetta was nothing really knew for me. But this style of operetta is something completely different than what we have done before. The first week of rehearsal, when we got done with everything, I looked at the blocking and choreography and I thought this was not what I had pictured in my head - what I am seeing on stage. So we scrapped that week and started over. It was a few weeks before I finally felt I had a niche of what I wanted to do with the show. After the false start, things have come together quite nicely for Robinson and his cast. Obviously the weather was an obstacle, and perhaps a greater obstacle with
the weather situation we were not able to get out to the barn to get our set pieces because of the mounds of snow. So here we are now, two weeks before the show and it this is the first time the cast has really been able to walk on the set. Despite all this, the cast, as all casts have done in the past at the school, have been ready to perform when the time comes for the show to go live. We have a very specific mindset here at Wauseon Theater, Robinson explained. We are constantly reminding them to focus on what they need to do and what they need to accomplish individually. The longer the student worries about themselves and their own performance, the less they have to worry about. I think that allows them to have a certain amount of perspective of the situation. Robinson is more than happy with his cast this time around. I see a repore that I have not seen before, Robinson said This is a group of people that come in focused. In terms of experience, this is probably one of my less experienced cast that I have ever had. A lot of our leads are people who have only been in theater for two years. Half of the brothers in the cast have only been in the theater for one year. But the leaders that we do have have stepped up to help this cast have a discipline and focus that is unparalleled here in Wauseon theater.

Four County Skills USA Chapter Wauseons Assistant Chief Of Police To Attend Institute Members To Compete In Columbus On Violence Against Women
Assistant Chief William F. McConnell has been chosen as one of several law enforcement executives from across the state to participate in the Ohio Law Enforcement Leadership Institute on Violence Against Women hosted by the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP). Through the Institute experience, the IACP intends to raise the response of violence against women crimes higher on law enforcements agenda and support the adoption of best practices by the officers in the Wauseon Police Department. During the four-day Institute taking place in Columbus-Worthington, OH, Assistant Chief McConnell, along with the other selected participants, will explore innovative approaches for investigating crimes of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, and stalking. Additional attention will center on assessing agency performance and sharing challenges and solutions with law enforcement colleagues. In an effort to help law enforcement agencies enhance their response to crimes of violence against women, the Ohio Institute will focus on planning and methods for effective resource allocation to help crime victims and hold perpetrators accountable. The participating law enforcement executives will be engaged in the development of action plans throughout the Institute in order to adopt new strategies for pro-active coordinated community collaboration upon returning to their departments. Attendance at the Institute is supported by a grant to the IACP from the United States Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women. The International Association of Chiefs of Police is the worlds oldest and largest non-profit membership organization of police executives, with over 20,000 members from over 100 countries around the world.

THE LEAD ROLES ... Chris Yackee (Joseph) and Sam Richer (Jacob) are new leads on the scene for this years musical. By: Bill Bray THE VILLAGE REPORTER
Senior Chris Yackee, best known for his trumpet solos in the band, thought he would like to give this singing business a try. When he finally did during his junior year, he found out that he had a gift of singing. With the gift, he finds himself in the spotlight as Joseph in the upcoming production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. I did the musical last year and enjoyed it, Yackee said. With that, I joined acapella Choir this year and developed my voice further. It was indeed a shock the at the fall concert when the senior was up with his fellow choir members singing. So the young man who has always been a staple in the first chair trumpet spot in the band is now turning his attention to bettering his singing voice. It is a talent that Yackee figured he probably possessed but never had the confidence or want-to to put himself out there. When I was little I never used to like to sing, I do not know why. But being in

band since sixth grade, I already have the needed musical background. My mom is a wonderful singer and my dad carries a tune very well, so it has always been there with an entire family that has singing talent, but up until the musical last year, I did not even sing in church. But I just came out after the musical last year and tried out and made Chorale, so it was like a light bulb came on last year and I thought I can do this. Even with an experienced background the challenges of a lead role can be many, and Yackee is learning firsthand and under fire that the statement is true. Mostly memorization of the songs, Yackee said. The main concern is that this is just my second production, so I do not have that experience that is expected from a lead role. So I have trying to learn as much as I can from Cole Stiriz, Katie Spieles, and Cassidy Wells, who have been doing this ever since they have been in high school. I try to pick up on their leads. It is not quite second nature yet but I do what they ask me and add a little bit of emotion to it.

Devotional Thought / Fellowship of Christian Athletes

BY: REX STUMP - BAD DAYS & JESUS SPIT!
High school sports give us a great glimpse of mistakes and bad days. Only so many teams post winning records and titles, everyone else seems to be challenged by bad days and rough moments. Had a bad day recently? Ever wonder Why me? Maybe it wasnt you, maybe it was someone else struggling with a problem. Ever ask, why them? Do you need some answers or maybe a little encouragement? In John 9 Jesus and His disciples are walking along and come across someone having a bad day (possibly life), a man born blind. They ask Jesus, Why did this happen? The incredible thing is that Jesus doesnt answer their why question, using their suggested answers. Instead Jesus says This happened so the power of God could be seen in him. Funny that Jesus uses the word seen in discussing a blind mans situation. Maybe we are blind to why bad things happen? Why? Why did this happen to me? Why didnt I get the job? Why did she dump me? Why wont people help me.... Fill in the blank and toss out your own why question to Jesus - He is listening. Now listen to Him as He reminds the disciples (those who follow Jesus) that God is at work. Jesus answers their question by focusing on the future, not the past. It wasnt because the blind man sinned or that his parents sinned in the past. He was blind so that the power of God could be seen in him. It wasnt about this mans past, it was about his future, and it was about God. For God would work through him and reveal His power to many. What appeared to be something bad would become something incredible. Why does my dad have cancer? I dont know, but Gods power is revealed in my dads attitude to keep loving others. Why do athletes fail? I dont know, but Gods power is revealed in their attitude to persevere and keep trying. I dont know why Im emotionally blind and crippled spiritually at times, but I do know that Jesus can take my handicap, my pain, and my daily challenges and do something powerful with them. Heres the kicker - Jesus spit on the ground, made mud, and wiped it on the blind mans eyes! Add insult to injury - thats just weird and gross! Moments later a man born blind is miraculously seeing the world for the first time! Life doesnt always make sense and how God works in our lives may be weird and gross. But in the end, I trust God to help me get up and keep moving forward in life. For more reading, check out: Psalm 28:7, Proverbs 28:26, and Isaiah 40:31.
WHY HAS NO ONE TOLE ME ABOUT MY MESSIAH BEERFORE?

As we observe Lent, a time to consider what we might give up as symbol of what God gave for us, Jesus, lets purpose to tell others about our wonderful Savior. I read the following piece in preachingtoday. com that captured my heart, who have I told about my Messiah? John Lennox (an author and professor of mathematics at Oxford University) tells a story about touring Eastern Europe and meeting a Jewish woman from South Africa. The woman told Lennox that she was researching how her relatives had perished in the Holocaust. At one point on their guided tour, they passed a display that had the following words written on it: Arbeit macht frei (or work makes free). It was a mock-up of the main gate to the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz. The display also had pictures of the horrific medical experiments carried out on children by the infamous Dr. Josef Mengele. At that point of their tour, the Jewish woman turned to Lennox and said, And what does your religion make of this? Lennox writes: What was I to say? She had lost her parents and many relatives in the Holocaust. I could scarcely bear to look at the Mengele photographs, because of the sheer horror of imagining my children suffering such a fate. I had nothing in my life that remotely paralleled the horror her family had endured. But still she stood in the doorway waiting for an answer. I eventually said, I would not insult your memory of your parents by offering you simplistic answers to your question. What is more, I have young children and I cannot even bear to think how I might react if anything were to happen to them, even if it were far short of the evil that Mengele did. I have no easy answers; but I do have what, for me at least, is a doorway into an answer. What is it? she said. I said, You know that I am a Christian. That means that I believe that Yeshua is the messiah. I also believe that he was God incarnate, come into our world as savior, which is what his name Yeshua means. Now I know that this is even more difficult for you to accept. Nevertheless, just think about this question if Yeshua was really God, as I believe he was, what was God doing on a cross? Could it be that God begins just here to meet our heartbreaks, by demonstrating that he did not remain distant from our human suffering, but became part of it himself? For me, this is the beginning of hope; and it is a living hope that cannot be smashed by the enemy of death. The story does not end in the darkness of the cross. Yeshua conquered death. He rose from the dead; and one day, as the final judge, he will assess everything in absolute fairness, righteousness, and mercy. There was silence. She was still standing, arms outstretched, forming a motionless cross in the doorway. After a moment, with tears in her eyes, very quietly but audibly, she said: Why has no one ever told me that about my messiah before? Peter writes in 1 Peter 3:15, (NIV) Always be Hallett, Hallett & Nagel prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you Attorneys At Law to give the reason for the hope that you have. TIMOTHY W. HALLETT Rick Jones, Executive Director, ERIC K. NAGEL Defiance Area Youth for Christ.
