After reorganizing for the new year, Edon Village Council carried on with the evenings straightforward agenda, addressing several items including the allocation of Village Income Tax. I would like Council to redo Ordinance [181.09]: Disbursement of Income Tax Funds starting next quarter, requested Fiscal Officer Heidi Bidwell. Currently, as she went on to explain, collected income tax disbursements are allocated 80.34 percent to the Villages general fund; 11.33 percent to sanitary sewer and 8.33 percent to capital outlay. Restructuring the Ordinance would increase percentages to general and capital outlay funds while eliminating future allotments to sanitary sewer. Current allocations would change to 90 percent to the general fund and 10 percent to capital outlay, she continued. At this point, theres no need to contribute to sanitary sewer since the sewers last [loan] payment will be in July. Upon review of the Ordinance and
all questions attended to, Council approved moving forward to reallocate Village Income Tax funds as proposed by Mrs. Bidwell; a new Ordinance reflecting the noted revisions will be prepared by Solicitor Thompson for approval at next months meeting. In other action taken, Council: Accepted the Minutes, Financial Report and bills as presented. Approved the Board of Public Affairs nomination of Chip Hulbert to fill its open seat; the one-term appointment continues through December 31, 2017. Supported Councilor Nesters suggestion to have Council and BPA exchange monthly minutes (as well as attending meetings) to keep and further open the lines of communication between the two boards; Fiscal Officer Bidwell will email copies to each councilor and board member. Agreed, without reservation, to UE Local 715s request to place its Union Retirees Plaque at the Edon Community Building upon closure of the DMI/Chassix Plant.

West Unity Village Council Receives Committee Assignments; Revises Kissell Building Rental Agreement
By: Chelsie Firestone THE VILLAGE REPORTER Members of the West Unity Village Council convened for their regularly scheduled meeting at 7:30 PM on January 23. With no legislative matters to address, council quickly moved on to hear reports. Village Administrator Ric Beals reported that he is continuing to work with Kamco on possible expansion and job creation, which includes possible purchase of property in West Unity. Additionally, Beals reported that the village has been working at cutting down some dead trees within the village and that the village will soon be bidding out the larger trees and stump removal. Beals also reported that the he has received notification that the last phase of the East Jackson Street water line replacement is a contingency project for Issue 1 funding so there is still a chance that the village will receive funds. Because Beals may not receive final notice of whether or not these funds will be received until the first of May, no plans for capital projects will be finalized at this time. In terms of the weather that has continued to bring relatively large amounts of snowfall and bitterly cold temperatures to the area, Beals reported that the village has been working to keep downtown parking areas cleared and has helped clear out some mailboxes. While the village will help if needed, however, residents need to remember that such clearing is the responsibility of the homeowner. Beals also urges residents to remember to keep PHOTO BY CHELSIE FIRESTONE, STAFF fire hydrants cleared. RENTAL AGREEMENT ...

Urges Increasing Five-Day Calamity Days Cap, Keeping Focus On Student Safety
COLUMBUS Today Gov. John R. Kasich urged the Ohio General Assembly and Ohio Department of Education to work together on legislation providing a one-time increase in the number of days that schools can take off because of snow or bad weather. Kasich said a one-time increase of just a few days is needed since so many Ohio schools have usedor are close to usingtheir five allowable calamity days due to the unusually severe winter weather this year. School closures can, of course, be an inconvenience but student safety always comes first. Many schools have already hit the maximum number of snow days, or will soon, and if they exceed it and have to extend the school year it can wreak havoc with schools budgets and schedules. Giving schools a few extra snow days this year will be helpful and let everyone stay focused on the top priority when weather hits, keeping kids safe, said Kasich. Ohio law allows schools five calamity days a year before they must start adding days to the school year. Kasich enacted legislation in 2011 increasing the number of calamity days from three to five. This proposed increase would be for the current school year only.
KASICH CALLS FOR EXTRA SCHOOL SNOW DAYS AS SEVERE WEATHER CONTINUES

HOOKRAFTERS GUILD PRESENT SPECIAL RUG TO SAUDER VILLAGE ... (left to right) Carla Allshouse, Julie Klinger and Debbie Sauder David. ARCHBOLD, OH Members of the Northwest Ohio Rug Hookrafters Guild recently donated a special rug to Sauder Village in celebration of the Guilds 40th Anniversary. The Brandon Barnyard rug was presented to Debbie Sauder David by guild members and will be on permanent display at the Sauder Heritage Inn. This special rug had a dual purpose to celebrate the guilds 40th anniversary and also to thank Sauder Village for their steady and continuous support of the art and craft of rug hooking. We are so pleased to accept this very special gift from such a talented group of rug hookers, shared Debbie Sauder David, Sauder Village President and CEO. This hand-crafted rug represents hours of hard work and creativity and will be a treasured addition to the unique dcor at our Sauder Heritage Inn. More than 20 guild members spent nearly 80 hours this past year to complete the hooked rug. The rug design and color pattern were donated by Barbara Carroll of the Woolley Fox, Ligonier, PA. Ms. Carroll is a well-known primitive rug hooker, designer and author. Group members involved with the creation of this rug include: Lisa Allomong, Carla Allshouse, Janine Davis, Jan DenHerder, Liz Eberle, Eilene Eis, Ann Furrow, Anita Hawkins, Charlene Hess, Cindy Kiacz, Julie Klinger, Rebecca Landin, Thelma Lehman, Norma Lusk, Sheryl McCoy, Mary McMasters, Lori Neff, Susan Pasterz,

There are currently 30 members from throughout Northwest Ohio and Southeastern Michigan. The group gathers monthly to share ideas, hook rugs and fellowship. The very active guild plays an important role in Rug Hooking Week each year at Sauder Village by contributing rugs to the exhibit, volunteering, offering a guild dinner and outstanding support and attendance. We want to thank members of the guild for their ongoing support of our Sauder Village Rug Hooking event and congratulate this tremendous group of ladies on such a special anniversary, shared Jeanette Smith, Sauder Village Director of Sales & Marketing. We appreciate all of the help they have provided us through the years and look forward to their involvement with our 18th annual Rug Hooking event in 2014!

BROWN DRAIN CLEANING

MONTPELIER, OH 419-212-4756
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.

Made other repairs and upgrades at the Water Plant and Wastewater Treatment Plant. The Engineer/Zoning Inspector issued 13 permits for a total of $335.00 creating a total of $454,000.00 in Land Improvement Costs. The Police Department continues to work diligently in keeping our Village and the surrounding area a safe place to reside. The Department also continues to work closely with Edon Northwest Local Schools Superintendent Ed Ewers and staff at the school to protect the children and maintain a safe environment. The closing of the DMI/Chassix Plant remains the top concern of the Village for 2014. Word of such closing was heard April 20, 2013. On April 24th myself, three Council members, Diamond Zimmerman, Coordinator of the Williams County Economic Development Corporation of Williams County met at the DMI/ Chassix Plant with two Executives from headquarters, the Plant Manager and Human Resource Manager. From that meeting on there have been continued contacts and conversations; however, the closing date of March 31, 2014 stands. As soon as possible the Village, with the assistance of WEDCO, will begin marketing efforts to bring in another company. The closing of DMI/Chassix and the loss of the municipal income tax will affect the Village budget for 2014; therefore each department will see a 10% reduction in their respective budgets. The Village will have revenue to operate and maintain; however there will not be extra funds for any new costly projects or infrastructure. We will continue to operate and provide the necessary needs of the Village and all the residents. There will continue to be many challenges and opportunities for the Village of Edon in 2014. Together with the Board of Public Affairs and all the employees we will continue to cautiously manage the future of our community. Finally to all of you that have contributed your time and expertise to the Village this past yearTHANK YOU!!!! - Mayor Darlene Burkhardt

Have A Heart - Donate Blood

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, except when you're talking about blood donors. Every day, hospital patients depend on steady and consistent blood donations from volunteer donors for the blood they may need for ongoing and emergency medical care. Since February is American Heart Month, it's a great time to put your heart into a worthwhile cause: donating blood at an American Red Cross blood drive to help hospital patients who require blood transfusion. "Blood donations help many types of patients, including cardiac patients who are one of the leading users of blood and blood products," said Tracy Fox, Communications Manager, with the Indiana-Ohio Blood Services Region of the Red Cross. "When individuals roll up their sleeve, they help build the blood supply. This is important anytime, but especially during the cold, wintry months when blood donations tend to decline. It's important that the blood is on the shelf when hospital patients need a transfusion." Since 1963, the President of the United States has proclaimed February as American Heart Month. "Donating blood, and sharing your good health with others less fortunate, is a great way to observe this annual event," Fox stated. "We're asking more people, young and old alike, to have a heart and give blood this February. If you're healthy and can give, your donation can help make a difference." UPCOMING AMERICAN RED CROSS BLOOD DRIVES IN YOUR AREA: * Friday, Feb. 7, from noon until 6 p.m. at Pioneer Area Chamber of Commerce in the Community Room, located at 100 N. Elm St. in Pioneer. * Friday, Feb. 7, from noon until 5 p.m. at First Lutheran Church in the Foyer, located at 701 S. Defiance St. in Stryker. * Tuesday, Feb. 11, from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. at Ck Tech, located at 1701 Magda Drive in Montpelier. * Thursday, Feb. 13, from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. at the Knights of Columbus in the All Purpose Room, located at 1216 Buffalo Road in Bryan. How to Donate Blood To schedule an appointment to donate please call 1-800-RED CROSS (1800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org for more information. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental permission in Indiana and Ohio), meet weight and height requirements (110 pounds or more, depending on their height) and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. Individuals should bring their Red Cross blood donor card or other form of positive ID when they come to donate. About the American Red Cross The Indiana-Ohio Blood Services Region serves northern and central Indiana and northwestern Ohio, and needs to collect about 500 units of blood a day to meet patient need in 60 hospitals. The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the nation's blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a not-for-profit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission. For more information, please visit redcross.org
Local Efforts For A No-Kill Shelter Begin

A group of local Williams County residents that love animals have started to put their love of animals to work. This group, who started a facebook page called Support Starting a No Kill Shelter in Williams County on January 1tth has already received a lot of support from other community members. While the group is in the beginning stages, they are working with established rescues from different parts of the United States to being their efforts. The group said that the need for more rescues and foster care providers is great in order to a decrease in the numbers of euthanasia. They recently asked for anyone who was interested in being a foster provider for the animals to send them a message. They are compiling a list of volunteers that they can contact as needed. When asked why they are working hard to get this rescue started, they gave some very startling statistics. In the United States alone it is estimated that three to four million cats and dogs are killed each year. Upwards of seven million companion animals enter into shelters each year. According to the national Council on Pet Population Study and Policy (NCPPSP), less than 2 percent of cats and only 15 to 20 percent of dogs are returned to their owners. For 2014, they have set some realistic goals for themselves. They would like to further establish themselves within the community. There are many grants available, and several individuals within the group are working on meeting the application deadlines. The funds would help to secure a future location within the county that they would be able to set up as their primary place of operation. The costs of starting a rescue as well as daily operating costs are high, so the group is aware that this could be a process. In the meantime, they wish to educate the community and be a resource for animals in need.

Previously, those wishing to rent the building could choose to rent only half of the building if desired. The revisal is an effort to encourage the public to rent the building more often for both private and community events. Private parties may have alcohol on the premises provided all liability is assumed by the renter. 501-3-C organizations wishing to rent still receive a substantially reduced rental rate.

WHAT WE READ YEARS AGO
Brian Carlan was the speaker for the regular meeting of the Stryker Rotary. Brian took Steve Caseberes position at Bryan Municipal Utilities as Utilities Director. Brian started with the Utility in the communications department many years ago, he moved to the Electric Utility area before taking his current position. The utility is somewhat unique is that it has two governing bodies. City council approves the budget while the Board of Public Affairs in the governing agent. Brian said he thought only three utilities are governed in this manner in the state of Ohio. Brian indicated that the city is in a good position to enjoy stable electrical rates for the next few years, and work is ongoing to find long term purchases of power
to extend this stability even further. The city also generates power when the conditions are right and uses its generation to add even more stability to electrical rates. Its generation includes hydroelectric, and solar that run on a continuous basis, with gas power generation added on an as needed basis. Brian did express his concern over water rates for the future because Bryans infrastructure for water is ageing and although an aggressive plan has been implemented to replace old lines and equipment the expense is very high. He is concerned that the water rates will have to be increased in future to offset some of these updating costs. Brian is pictured with and spoke as a guest of Stryker Rotarian Nicki Basset.

One of his most visible marks on the Fair was the development of the yearly Agricultural Heritage Display, the first of which was in 2007, in honor of Fulton County Fairs 150th anniversary. Located in the southwest corner of the fairgrounds, exhibit themes varied from planting through harvesting, each encompassing over 100 items on display from hand-tools to modern-day machines. Curt also looked forward to giving school children, including those from Toledos central-city, tours of the fair. He enjoys educating children about agriculture and the origin of items found in the grocery store, starting with where milk comes from children were able to experience a cow being milked. Curt, a former dairyman, was instrumental in promoting dairy farming education by giving the Fairs milking parlor an accessible, prominent place, complete with a posted milking schedule, so fairgoers can be sure not to miss the action. Curts other contributions to the fair include an antique tractor display which has well over
100 entries, a tractor maneuverability contest, the Junior Fair straw loading contest, and Curts Kids Corner box. Curt Johnson and his enthusiasm for agriculture get the credit for involving a growing number of farmers in the Fair. He has encouraged them to bring their cows, display their tractors, and join the other friendly competitions at the fair. And, as a special bonus, over the years, Curt has produced his own professional-quality video of the Fair and the many displays as thank you gifts to those who have participated. Curt started showing hogs at the Fulton County Fair when he was a young boy. He was involved in FFA and 4H, at an early age, and as an adult, hes a member of the Fayette UMC Church, Farm Bureau, a Farm Bureau Council and the Agricultural Society. He was also inducted into the Fulton County Agricultural Hall of Fame. During his tenure as a director, he has come up with innovative solutions that include making bleachers mobile by installing casters and re-engineering current buildings for creating much-needed space. He looked at various aspects of the Fair for the sole purpose of improving accessibility and enjoyment by fairgoers. When theres work to be done at the fairgrounds, Curt was one of the first to jump in and help. In fact, while not officially on the Board, Curt answered the call at the 2013 Fair to help newer board members navigate all the responsibilities and tasks associated with preparing for the Fair, as well as pitching in during Fair Week. Its this kind of dedicated service and passionate commitment that enables the Fulton County Fair to continue to grow and improve. Curtis Johnson is the epitome of dedication, passion, and enthusiasm.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

To residents of the Village of Fayette: You will read in the paper today, in the Village of Fayette Council article, that I resigned as Fiscal Officer of the Village. I wanted to set the record straight; that this was not voluntary, it was involuntarily. I was told that I either resign or get FIRED. When I questioned the reason, I was told that Council was looking in a new direction. Also, that with not having my books reconciled, this was also an issue (I never lied to council about my mistake), and I had the matter well in hand. One of my auditors and a representative from the bank were coming to the village at the end of February to help me find out what I was missing, and to help me fix the problem, It was not like I didnt lose a lot of nights sleep over this. I was also told that they didnt like the way I handled the front office after Dee Lawrence left was also an issue. I can guarantee that this was not my fault. I was told I was given a raise to do the job. (Which was not the case, I was given a raise because I received my Master Municipal Clerks Certification) When after one month of doing this, I asked Council for the increase, which I thought I would receive for doing the job but they said no. Thats when I decided not to take on the extra responsibility. So lets say that I knew that the raise was for doing the front desk duties. They hired Becky Thatcher, she was paid $12.00 an hour, when Genna Biddix was hired she received over $15.00 an hour and Dee Lawrence is being paid $20.00 an hour to train her. Do you know how much they would have given me to do the extra duties? 91 cents an hour. Do you see where Im going with this, did they really think I was that stupid !!!! Im sorry I couldnt keep up with doing four different jobs for the village Let me tell you, I was not expecting this and it came as quite a shock. Please believe me, I treated the funds for the village as if they were my own, even better than my own. I always had the villages best interests at heart when it had anything too do with village funds and my job. So to those Village residents that treated me with kindness, friendship and understood what I was fighting for and accepted me for who I am (you know who you are). Thank you with all my heart to those people. - Lisa Zuver
Members of the Fayette Village Council accepted the resignation of Village Financial Officer, Lisa Zuver, during their regular session meeting of January 22. As part of their legislative actions, Councilors were informed by Mayor Ruth Marlatt that Ms. Zuver was, "...involuntarily resigning as of January 20, 2014 at 9 a.m., effective immediately." Council approved the resignation, 4-0, with Councilor Linda Short abstaining, and Rodney Kessler absent. The Village Administrator report of Mr. Steve Blue made frequent mention of the weather. The walk-through with Gleason remains on hold due to the weather, as the snow is obscuring the work areas to be pointed out. Arcadis has developed a punch list of items that Gleason needs to accomplish. That list will likely not be completed by the February contract completion date. Mr. Blue has been in contact with Roberta Acosta of RCAP and Tim Harmsen of Arcadis to discuss how long of an extension should be granted. Again, weather will play a role in the determination. New water meter software has been installed, and a day-long seminar on the use of the software and the hand-held units is forthcoming. The new meters are not invulnerable to the cold, and it is strongly suggested that heat tape be employed to insure the proper operation of the meters. The County has received the funds for the meter purchases, so the invoice from Neptune needs to be paid as soon as possible to release the funds. Neptune is currently working with the Village on the two-stage meter at TRW, which is malfunctioning.. Council retired into executive session from 6:20 until 6:57 for the discussion of the hiring of personnel. Upon their return, they began their legislative actions for the evening.
Council approved the payment of the $43,921.00 invoice from Neptune as suggested earlier by Mr. Blue. Council also approved the changing of names on the signature cards at First Federal to read Mr. Blue or Genna Biddix. Council then approved the resignation of Ms. Zuver, then addressed the subject which was the topic for discussion during the executive session. The final measure of the evening was to hire Karin Sauerlender as a 'consultant'. Reading from prepared text, Council President David Borer offered a motion, saying, "We propose to hire Karin
Sauerlender as a parttime, acting fiscal officer for the Village of Fayette. She will work for $30.00 an hour on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and some Saturdays for at least the next month. Additional hours will be added, if necessary. Genna (Biddix) will be working with Karin to help out in going through all the files and papers that need sorted through." The motion was adopted without dissent. With no further business to address on the agenda, Council adjourned for the evening.

has been notified that Drug Take Back Day has been scheduled for the last Saturday in April. Code Administrator Tom Hall reported to Council that he is currently reviewing the street parking regulations, which havent been updated since the early 1980s. He also notified council that Habitat for Humanity is looking for lots to build on in town. Director of Public Service Dennis Richardson reported to Council the economic impact on the city after Winter Storm Ion passed through on January 6 and 7. Richardson reported that the city spent approximately $8,000 in overtime and an additional $6,000 for salt as a result of the storm. He also explained that the salt expense was not as high as anticipated due to less salt being used as a result of the extreme temperatures, which were too cold for the salt to work effectively. Richardson also noted that the Economic Development Director of Fulton County has resigned and explained that, as a part of the Executive Committee of the CIC, he is working with the Fulton County Commissioners on short term and long term plans as a result. In his update on the Linfoot Street project, Richardson gave notice that there will be a public meeting on February 6 from 7:00 to 9:00 PM that will allow for the public to look at the plans and ask questions about the project. Adjacent property owners will receive individual invitational letters to the meeting. Mayor Shaw responded to Richardsons report by expressing his and the residents gratitude to the Public Works Department and employees for the job they did on clearing the snow from roadways with Ions passing through. Director of Finance Jamie Gigurere reported to council that the auditors will be starting the 2013 audit as well as that she has been gathering information for the GAAP accounting report. Director of Law Thomas McWatters III reported that he has been working on finalizing some projects but that he had no new matters to report to council during the meeting. In legislative matters, Ordinance 201401, which provides for a City Law Director,
Wauseon City Council Sets Committee ...

Assistant Law Directors and which sets a rate of compensation for those directors, was brought before council and passed on emergency. Prior to the final vote pertaining to the ordinance, Councilor Shane Chamberlin asked for clarification regarding the pay rates for the Law Director and Assistant Law Directors. McWatters explained that the pay rate is set as a distribution between the positions, that the base rate is set at $650 per month, and that the city paid an additional $23,000 over the base rate in 2013. With passage as an emergency, the ordinance is now in effect. Similarly, Ordinance 2014-02, which provides for and sets a rate for a City Prosecutor, passed as an emergency and is now in effect. New business addressed by council included the authorization of the Director of Finance to reallocate $3,100 from the General Fund account entitled WagesRecreation to the General Fund account entitled EMA Assessment. Authorization came after Councilor Huner asked Council President Kost if council could receive a bi-annual input regarding the changes planned for the Fulton County EMA. Council President Kost agreed and the authorization passed with a 5-0 vote and Kost abstaining. Also approved was a request from the Wauseon Athletic Boosters to place the new State Championship sign, which had been previously determined to be too large to be set in replacement of the old sign in front of Dairy Queen, on the north side of the bike path right of way, west of Shoop Avenue, and facing north for view by south bound traffic. The city will be setting the posts for the design. Additionally, the re-appointment of Margaret A. Murphy as Clerk of Council for the term February 1, 2014 January 31, 2016 as well as the appointment of David Carroll to the Park Board for the term January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2018 were both approved by council. The meeting was adjourned after the approval of the bills and without need for executive session. Chelsie Firestone can be reached at chelsie@thevillagereporter.com

Devotional Thought / Fellowship of Christian Athletes

BY: REX STUMP - THERMOSTAT OR THERMOMETER?
Here is something Ive asked many teams. Whats the difference between the thermometer and a thermostat? What is the answer? A thermometer reflects the climate, giving us a reading on the temperature in that location. A thermostat is a device used to regulate and set the temperature for a location. I believe that most people (the average person) are like a thermometer in that they reflect the culture around them. They buy what others buys, they eat what others eat, they say what others say, they listen to what others listen to, they do what others do...the average person is like a thermometer reflecting their culture. I believe that people aspiring to be great and effective are like thermostats! They decide to set the temperature! They set the social climate, they set the pace, and they set the tone. I remember one day, my son came home from a practice and was complaining. I told him he needed to choose - be a thermometer or a thermostat. He looked at me and said...what? I told him that he is able to choose to be like everyone else at practice and settle to fit in, or he could work twice as hard, stop complaining, and set the tone! How do we do this? I dont claim to have all the answers, and Im sure there are more suggestions out there... but here is where I suggest we start. Lets go back to the heating problem in my house. We know that putting on blankets and layers of clothes was not the solution. Thats just adapting to the climate. In that moment we still reflected the temperature. We needed to get to the heart of the matter - the furnace. Fix the furnace, the heart of our house, and then we can set the temperature and not reflect the temperature. You want to set the tone? You want to be the thermostat God created you to be? Fix your heart! It starts in you. There are many skilled athletes, each being thermometers who reflect a messed up culture. Remember Kobe Bryants affair in 2003? Skills or value problem? Tiger Woods, Alex Rodriguez - skills or value problem? These great athletes have great skills, but their values reflect a broken culture and the result has been messy. Matthew 15:18-19, But the words you speak come from the heart-thats what defiles you. For from the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, all sexual immorality, theft, lying, and slander. Your heart is the furnace of your life. Fix the heart...and you are able to start adjusting your thermostat! Read the Bible and see what God says is valuable about you and in you. God gives us absolute values to live by that direct and help us move forward! I know from reading Gods Word that He values hard work, commitment, faithfulness, and integrity! When my heart is right with God, I can begin to reflect His values by being the hardest worker I can be, making honest and right choices, and staying faithful to my relationships and commitments. I know God values perseverance, so I will not give up! Thats setting the tone; that is turning up the heat for God! Get it right in your heart - you are on your way to being a thermostat! For more reading, check out Proverbs 17:27, 18:12; 21:2; 21:5; and Proverbs 21:21.
HOW WOULD YOU RESPOND IF YOU WERE TO LOSE ALL YOUR EARTHLY POSSESSIONS?
How would you respond if you were to lose all your earthly possessions? Consider with me what happened in a purported that took place at the Edgewater Beach Hotel in Chicago in 1923. A popular story recounts a meeting that may have taken place at the Edgewater Beach Hotel in Chicago in 1923. There is debate whether the meeting in fact occurred, but what is not in question is the actual rise and fall of the men featured in the story, who were nine of the richest men in the world at that time: (1) Charles Schwab, President of the worlds largest independent steel company; (2) Samuel Insull, President of the worlds largest utility company; (3) Howard Hopson, President of the largest gas firm; (4) Arthur Cutten, the greatest wheat speculator; (5) Richard Whitney, President of the New York Stock Exchange; (6) Albert Fall, member of the Presidents Cabinet; (7) Leon Frazier, President of the Bank of International Settlements; (8) Jessie Livermore, the greatest speculator in the Stock Market; and (9) Ivar Kreuger, head of the company with the most widely distributed securities in the world. What happened to these powerful and rich men twenty-five years later? (1) Charles Schwab had died in bankruptcy, having lived on borrowed money for five years before his death. (2) Samuel Insull had died virtually penniless after spending some time as a fugitive from justice. (3) Howard Hopson became insane. (4) Arthur Cutten died overseas, broke. (5) Richard Whitney had spent time in a mental asylum. (6) Albert Fall was released from prison so he could die at home. (7) Leon Fraizer, (8) Jessie Livermore, and (9) Ivar Kreuger each died by suicide. Measured by wealth and power these men achieved success, at least temporarily. But it did not surely guarantee them a truly successful life. Many people think of fame and fortune when they measure success. However, at some point in life, most people come to realize that inner peace and soul-deep satisfaction come not from fame and money, but having lived a life based on integrity and noble character. The scriptures put it this way, Matthew 6:33-34 (NLT), 33 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. 34 So dont worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Todays trouble is enough for today. (From a sermon by Sajeev Painunkal SJ, What Changed Zaccheus? 10/30/2010 ).

Winning The Battle For A Generation
During the end of December and beginning of January, our area experienced some really cold temps! It just so happened that one night when we came home late from a friends house, we arrived to a house that was 63 degrees! Thats cold for a house in the winter! So what did we do? We turned on the gas fireplace, turned on the space heater, turned on the electric blanket, and dove under a pile of blankets! Stay warm! Was that the right solution? Temporarily, but not necessarily. The right thing to do is set the thermostat, check the furnace, and make sure things are working properly!

Fulton County Website Offers Notify Me Option

The official Fulton County website offers a Notify Me option for the public to stay connected to a variety of county agencies and events throughout the county such as the Sherriffs office, Senior Center, Job Postings, Developmental Disabilities, Bid Notices and much more. The Notify me tab, which can be found on the homepage of the website, allows for individuals to subscribe to their preferred notification or event. The subscriber can choose up to two methods of notification via email and/or text to their smartphone or mobile device. A subscriber can unsubscribe at any time. One of our most popular and highly subscribed alerts is for the Sheriffs Office. A person could sign up for notifications for serious crimes, unexpected road closures, snow levels and scams, notes Toni Schindler, Marketing and Communications Director for Fulton County. In light of the recent winter weather, this tool to the public can come in handy to stay on top of the snow levels that the County officially issues. Other useful notification options are for the Fulton County Senior Center, which posts the monthly newsletter, upcoming events and cancellations. The Board of Developmental Disabilities offers a notification for delays and closings as well as Special Olympics updates. Bid postings for County construction, County office supplies, Economic Development/Workforce Development, Township and Engineers office can also be accessed via this option on the website as well as job Postings, tax notices, tornado warnings, Jobs and Family Services updates, ditch notices, Board of Election Notices and much more. The Notify Me feature on our website was a definite selling point for us when we were looking at website options, Hall notes. This tool allows us to stay connected to the public in a more efficient, effective and transparent manner, which is our goal. With this tool, we can now immediately communicate with our vendors for bids, the public for government job postings, ditch notices and so much more. It allows us the diversity we need to reach out to the public via all of the different arms of our local county government. The Notify Me tab can be assessed on homepage of the website at www.fultoncountyoh.com. The website offers a plethora of information on county agencies, departments and upcoming events. The site also features access to the Countys Facebook and Twitter pages, in which county notices are also posted.
