administration
of
all

in his charge and is under
the guidance of both the
Mayor and council.
Randy is a graduate
of Patrick Henry High
School. He has an A.A.B.
in Business Management,
an
Accounting
Certificate, and a Human
Resource
Management
Certificate
from
two
years at Northwest State
Community College. He
also holds an Environment
Protection Agency Class
I Water Supply License,
and a Class II Wastewater
Treatment License.
He hopes to use his
experience as a past
working
Administrator
and his experience at
identifying, managing, and
using all resources in an
efficient manner. He states
It is hard to decide what
changes to implement,
but what I do know is that the Lord has
blessed me with all the opportunities I
have ever had. My beginning goal is to
identify what assets Edon Village has,
identify current practices, and implement
any and all helpful changes to improve
efficiency. I am a huge proponent of
small town USA and I love living and
working in small town USA. I believe
each community has its own niche that
makes them a great community.
Randy grew up in Malinta Ohio and
has resided in West Unity since 2004.
He is married to wife Amanda and they
have four children: Ethan - 15, Evan 12, Eden - 8 and Ezra - 3.
Randys favorite and most enjoyable
hobby is spending quality time with
his wife Amanda. He says, I have been
married for only nine years and I always
tell her I love her so much and am very
blessed. She always tells me Im crazy,
but I just tell her that everyone is crazy,
just in their own special way. He is
also a member of New Hope Community
Church and Sons of the American Legion
Post 300. He also volunteers his time at
Hilltop school events and donating to the
Womens Health Resource Center. His
interests include following and watching
the Denver Broncos whenever time
allows, but wife and children entertain
most of his hours.

Despite the October weather in mid-December, Wauseon Local Schools A Christmas Festival was a memorable experience
which instilled the classic holiday cheer
into the hearts of those in attendance.
Director Angelica Dunsavage began
the performance with one of the earliestknown Christmas carols, Gaudete. The
classic carol had a slight accompanying
twist, featuring percussion and repeated
bass parts.
The first half of the concert featured the
talents of the middle school chorus singing
classics such as Noel, Noel and Jingle
Bells, which, surprisingly, was written as
a Thanksgiving tune. O Holy Night was
sang in the style of the popular shortened
version from the movie Home Alone.
The middle school had a number of

You. The Mariah Carey-like performance
invoked a well deserved roar of applause
from the audience.
Following the intermission was a medley
based off the hit movie, Frozen. The standard choir performance quickly changed
into a Broadway musical; the Wauseon
High School Chorale began amongst the
audience, singing and stomping with vigor.
The dynamic singing ranges and syncopated dance moves created an upbeat, dazzling show that one wouldnt soon forget.
The Wauseon High School Concert and
A Cappella Choirs demonstrated their superlative artistic abilities with renditions
of Let It Snow, My Wish for You This
Christmas, and an enchanting experience
of A Musicological Journey Through the
12 Days of Christmas. An already cap-

Brown Drain
Cleaning is owned
and
operated
by Mark Brown.
Most service is
scheduled Monday through Friday between 9:00
a.m. and 5:00
p.m., with other
times available that may be more convenient to your schedule. Emergency service is also available.
If your drains are slow or stopped up, Brown Drain Cleaning can get them going again. Chemicals
are not recommended or used as we have power augers to use on drains from 1-1/2 inches up to main
sewer lines. This is both safer and more effective as most chemicals lose potency the further they travel
through the drain.
Buying a house? It may be wise to have Brown Drain Cleaning auger the sewer and drain lines before
you get settled in to insure against backups and check the condistion of your system. Having the sewer
system cleaned early is a cost effective way to avoid unpleasant surprises.
Brown Drain Cleaning does only drain cleaning, and with our 30 years experience, you can be assured of expert, professional service.
Brown Drain Cleaning serves Northwest Ohio, Northeast Indiana, Hillsdale County Michigan, and
beyond.
Rates are reasonable and the work is guaranteed! Call Mark at 419-212-4756.

WORKING INTENTLY ... Employees of Holiday City proceed with their work during the
Village Council December meeting. Pictured from left to right: The Village Solicitor.

By T.J. Hug
THE VILLAGE REPORTER
Before the minutes for the November
meeting could be approved, the Holiday
City Council heard the complaints of
Ron Kyle Senior.
Kyle, who served on the initial
Holiday City Village Council upon the
towns founding in 1997, took issue with
his electric rates. Purchasing his own
transformer, and then upgrading it to a
bigger size in order to power his grain
bin, the Holiday City Elder Statesman
expressed concerns that he was being
treated unfairly. He did, however, make
it very clear that he wasnt addressing
the council to look for a refund.
I dont want my money back. Kyle
stated plainly. I just want to make
council aware of whats going on.
Worried that his family and neighbors
may run into the same problem, Kyle
attempted to do just that. This wasnt
the first time hed spoken with village
officials on the matter, however. The
former councilor claimed hed spoken
with Village Administrator Gary Baker,
and that Baker had blown him off. At
one point, Kyle said, Baker allegedly
tried to say the meeting never occurred.
Remaining quiet while mayor and
council were searching for the words
to answer Kyles complaint, Baker

Jumbo-tron, seemingly
aware of the vicinity of
his defender. He cost
his team a touchdown!
These
celebrations
were selfish and painful.
Well, lets learn a lesson on how to celebrate
from a few men who
were not pros. They had
no titles, rings, contracts or high profile
positions in life. They
were simple shepherds.
An occupation without
respect. It was a quiet night in the fields,
hanging out with a
bunch of smelly sheep.
Just doing their job.
Then a top ten moment
occurred as an angel
and a heavenly army of
angels appeared in the
sky and put on a display that would make a
fourth of July firework
show look like a kiddy
parade.
Luke 2:13-14, Suddenly, the angel was
joined by a vast host
of others-the armies of
heaven-praising
God
and saying, Glory to
God in highest heaven,
and peace on earth to
those with whom God is
pleased.
After the angels left,
the shepherds talked it
over and decided to go
as fast as they could
to see for themselves
what God has revealed
to them! They left, running, and found Mary
and Joseph, and the
baby Jesus lying in the
manger. Seeing was believing. With great excitement they told everyone they met what
the angels had said
about this child. And
all who heard the shepherds were impressed.
They witnessed something greater than a ball
game. They ran faster
than a wide receiver to
reach baby Jesus, and
they hit the ground in
worship quicker than
linebacker blitzing a
quarterback! They left
celebrating a real victory! The Messiah has
arrived!
In Matthew 2, we
read that when the wise
