Osburns Co-Chair Successful Former Wauseon Council Member


Convicted On Felony Charge

DOING GOOD WORK ... Kim and Susie Osburn enjoy an afternoon on their porch.
The couple has just accepted the roles of Co-Chairmen for the Williams County
United Ways Fundraising Campaign.
By: T.J. Hug
THE VILLAGE REPORTER
The day had been a good one.
In an effort to help families with
financial struggles supply their children
with school supplies, the United Way had
teamed up with the Department of Job
and Family Services to provide those in
need with book bags. Over 1,000 bags
had been given away already, and United
Way workers Kim and Susie Osburn felt
the project had been pretty successful.
It was Kim who came to help him.
A father, with his children present, had
come for some book bags. The emotion of
the moment had gotten the better of him,
and the man began to weep.
I couldnt have done this by myself,
The man said. God bless you.
The moment was the most profound of
Kims time with the United Way.
The more we get involved, the more
we see the need for help.
Perhaps this is why the husbandwife combination elected to accept the
position of Co-Chairmen of the United
Way Fundraising Campaign for Williams
County. And it is the United Way of the
entire county.
From Edgerton to Stryker, Kim
stated, its all of Williams Countys
United Way. Not just Bryans.
Susie Osburn is an ideal choice to
represent such an ideal, as shes been
very active throughout the county. Shes
served the Bryan, Pioneer, and Montpelier
Chambers of Commerce. Currently, she
is still active in Bryans Chamber, in
addition to acting as the Treasurer for

the Black Sheep Harley Davidsons For


Christ charity. Shes even worked through
her church, Life Changing Realities
Fellowship, stationed in Edgerton, to
provide meals for funeral dinners.
We have a passion for the community.
Susie explained. We want it to thrive.
That passion quickly caught the
attention of their fellow United Way
workers. With the couple only joining the
organization in March of this year, it was
their dedication to the community that
earned them this position so early into
their tenure.
The Osburns are excited about the
various programs the United Way funds
within the area. Programs like the Dolly
Parton Imagination Library, which will
send every registered child under the
age of five a book every month until they
enter school.
Its great that children can have
cuddle time while their parents read to
them because their new book came in the
mail, Susie expressed.
The United Way also works with
Families in Crisis, as well as local food
banks to provide assistance to those in
need. But its their work with victims of
domestic violence about which Susie is
most passionate.
They have a need, and we are able to
meet it. For me, thats absolutely huge.
These programs need funds of course,
and raising them began at the Williams
County Fair on Monday. In a ceremony
that involved bands from all local high
schools playing together as one, the
Osburns hoped to raise $320,000 to help
support the community. At the time of
print, it was still unknown
if they had succeeded.
The
Osburns
understand just how far
this money can go within
the community, when put
to use properly.
To me, the United Way
is like a ripple effect. Susie
admitted. You never know
how far you reach.
At least, not until youve
seen a grown man cry.

Former
Wauseon
Councilor
Fred
Allen,
age 62, of Wauseon pled
no contest to, and was
subsequently
convicted
of, a fifth degree felony
count of theft of office in
the Fulton County Court
of Common Pleas on
Tuesday, September 2.
Originally
indicted
by a grand jury on
June 24 and arrested
on June 25, Allen was
charged with knowingly
obtaining county monies
by reporting and receiving
compensation for work
hours he did not actually
work during the dates
of January 12, 2012
through
February
6,
2014. Allen was employed
as the Fulton County
Inspector of Weights and
Measures at the time. The
discrepancies in reported
work hours were first discovered by the
Fulton County Auditor, who forwarded
the case to the Fulton County Sheriff's
Department for further investigation.
Visiting Judge J.T. Stelzer from the
Williams County Court of Common Pleas
has been presiding over the court during
the case.
As part of the plea agreement,
additional felony charges of tampering
with records that had also been levied
against Allen were dismissed. In return,
Allen agreed to pay restitution in the

amount of $7500, which was paid at the


time of his plea.
At the time of his indictment, Allen
had also been serving on Wauseon City
Council and as Wauseons Assistant
Fire Chief. He has since resigned from
his seat on council and asked for an
undetermined amount of leave from the
Fire Department.
Allen will not be allowed to hold public
office in the future. Sentencing will be
sentenced on September 22 at 1:30 PM.

The family of Hazel Gearhart gratefully acknowledges your kind comforting expressions of

Improvement Levy for


another round.
On the books since
1990 ~ and renewed
each
five-year
cycle
since its initial passage
~ the levy placed on the
November 4 ballot by
District School Board
members in July will not
result in any new tax for
local residents. This is
NOT an additional tax,
noted Superintendent Ed
Ewers. This levy is a fiveyear renewal of a 3-mil tax
~ currently at an effective
rate of approximately
1.32 mills.
According to Williams
County
Auditor
Deb
Nester,
the
average
home value in the Edon
Northwest School District
is $67,545. What this
means, Ewers shared, is
the average home owner
will pay approximately
$27.29 per year; $2.27
per month; $0.52 per
week or $0.07 per day in
PI taxes. Additionally,
based
on
appraised
property values, owners
are now paying around
$1.68 a month per
$50,000
of
property
value.
Set
to
generate
approximately $118,000
in
annual
revenue,
monies brought in by the
Permanent Improvement
Levy can only be used
for specified purchases
that
improve
District
assets. Dollars can pay
to maintain, update and
repair our facilities and
make purchases that
have a life expectancy of
at least five years, Ewers
went on to explain. By
law; however, PI revenue
CANNOT be used for
salaries or benefits of
any school employee;
[teacher supplies or daily
operational expenses].
So, just how would the
District utilize Permanent
Improvement
funds
collected by the levy
renewal?
Outlined
during
a recent tour of the
facilities, Superintendent
Ewers
and
board
members
focused
on
repairs and upgrades
that could be undertaken
with PI monies, such as:
Repairing
parking
lots (at the present time,
minimum work is being
done to keep them in
drivable condition)
Drainage issues and
possible additional catch
basins (to help prevent
trapped
water
under
asphalt, etc.)
Future replacement of
two busses in the present
bus fleet

The Stryker Rotary Club was graced


with a visit from District Governor
Rex Engle at their regular meeting
on Tuesday evening. Governor Engle
challenged each of the members to
think about why they joined Rotary
and if they have invited others to
join recently. He said we read about
the international projects Rotary is
involved with where they are carrying
out the core values of the organization,
and those same core values are
involved with the many local projects
individual clubs support regularly.
Governor Engle also discussed
several of the core values in service,
fellowship, leadership, and ethics.

He also told of the importance of


supporting the Rotary Foundation in
continuing the work of supporting
good will and peace around the world,
and improving the quality of life for
millions of people.
Governor Engle challenged each
Rotarian to donate $125 to the Rotary
Foundation this year, suggesting
$100 for the foundation and $25
toward Polio Plus. Rotarys goal to
eradicate polio has been challenged
this year with at last count 249 new
cases worldwide.
Governor Engle encouraged the
club to have fun and find ways to
bring new life back into their club. He

OATH Wauseon Mayor Doug Shaw administers the Oath of Office to Wauseons
newest councilman, Martin Estrada.
By: Chelsie Firestone
THE VILLAGE REPORTER
The September 2 regular meeting of
the Wauseon City Council opened with
Mayor Doug Shaw administering the
Oath of Office to Martin Estrada, who
was unanimously selected by Council
during the prior meeting to fill the
remainder of the term of Don Mathews
to December 31, 2014.
Following Estradas oath, council
moved on to hear from the Street
Committee, who after hearing from a
concerned citizen about a concern with
visibility and safety, was recommending
that a sign be put up to push parking
back an additional 20 feet at the
southeast corner of Cherry Street
and Franklin. Council unanimously
approved the recommendation.
During department head reports,
council learned that:
~A mass press release of the grant
deadline will soon be out to inform
interested persons about the Downtown
Revitalization Grant recently awarded to
the city. A total of $270,000 to be used
in the target area was recently awarded.
Projects that can be completed by
August 2016 may be eligible for
assistance through the grant funds,
which offer a 1:1 matching program.
Any funds not used by the City will be
forfeited so business owners are strongly
encouraged to take part in the program.
~It is hoped that construction on the
playground at Saras Garden will begin
early if funds are received sooner than
anticipated.
~The Wauseon Police Department
recently received a grant through
the Attorney Generals Drug Abuse
Prevention Grant to help fund the cost
of the School Resource Officer (SRO)
placed at Wauseon Schools. The grant
helps to pay 25% of the wages for the
SRO. Police Chief Keith Torbet noted
that this brings the total coverage of
costs to about 50%. The SRO is in the
schools approximately 6 hours per day
and also handles all juvenile issues at
the department.
In legislative matters:
~Resolution 2014-13, Accepting the
Amount and Rates as Determined by the
Budget Commission and Authorizing

the Necessary Tax Levies and Certifying


Them to the County Auditor, passed on
first reading under emergency language
and is now in effect.
~Resolution 2014-14, Providing a
Grant in the Amount of $75,000 from

for Police Services between the City of
Wauseon and the Village of Whitehouse
passed on first reading. The agreement
is for mutual aid.

of the Undivided Local Government

was made that the City of Wauseon
waive any hearing before the Fulton
County Budget Commission regarding
apportionment of the Undivided Local
Government Fund pursuant to Ohio
Revised Code Section 5757, and to agree
to the Fulton County Budget Commission

put the icing on the cake
for a colder than normal
summer for 2014.
According
to
the
monthly
report
from
KIWX, after the second
coldest July on record,
August 2014 started out
with near to slightly below
normal
temperatures
through the first 11
days of the month. An
upper level trough across
the Great Lakes region
brought below normal
temperatures through the
middle of the month, with
a high temperature of only
71 degrees on the 12th
and a low temperature
of 43 degrees on the
15th. A ridge of high
pressure over the central
United States built northeastward through the
Ohio Valley into the Great
Lakes region after the
middle of the month. This
brought near to above
normal
temperatures
during the second half of
the month. With the Great
Lakes on the fringe of this
high-pressure ridge, the
local area was primed for
an active precipitation
pattern during the last
half of August. During
this time period, Fort
Wayne experienced above
normal
precipitation,
while some areas saw
even more precipitation.
The
average
temperature in August
at the KTFW observation
station in Fort Wayne was
71.3 degrees, which was
0.2 degrees below normal.
This tied as the 44th
coldest August since 1912.
The warmest temperature
was 89 degrees on the
25th and the coldest was
43 on the 15th. With no
90 degree days, August
2014 was only the 20th
August since 1912 with
no 90 degree days. When
combined with no 90
degree days in August
2013 at Fort Wayne, this
is the first time on record
with consecutive years
with no 90 degree days
during August.
August 2014 was an
overall wet month at Fort
Wayne, with over half of
the monthly precipitation
falling in a 24-hour
period. 6.04 inches of
precipitation fell, which
is 2.40 inches above
normal.
This
ranked
as the seventh wettest
August on record, and

the wettest August since


2007 when 9.69 inches
of precipitation fell. There
were only nine days with
measurable precipitation,
and only six days with
0.10 inches or more of
precipitation.
However,
three of these days had
over one inch or more of
precipitation. The greatest
24 hour rainfall total was
3.11 inches on the 21st
and 22nd.
July
and
August
contributed in making
for a colder than normal
summer. The average
monthly temperature for
this summer was 70.8
degrees, which was 0.9
degrees below normal.
This tied as the 30th
coolest summer on record.
The highest temperature
was just 93 degrees, and
there were only two days
with temperatures in the
90s this summer at Fort
Wayne, both of which
occurred in June. The
lowest temperature was
43 and this occurred on
August 15th. Each month
this summer had at least
one low temperature in
the 40s. The very cool
July was offset by the
warmer June, and August
ended up being close to
normal. July also saw the
return of our old friend,
the Polar Vortexnot
once, but twice.
Precipitation for the
summer
was
13.85
inches, 1.81 inches above
normal. This was the
19th wettest summer on

record. June and August


were above normal, while
July was below normal.
Looking ahead to the
month of September,
the Climate Prediction
Center is calling for
normal precipitation and
temperature levels for
the month. Going beyond
that, the CPC is seeing
normal
precipitation
levels and above normal
temperatures for midautumn through midwinter. Something about
that prediction bothers
me. First off, that forecast
is coming from the same
fine folks that seemed to
miss all the signs that
the winter of 2013-14
was going to be the beast
that it indeed turned out
to be. Secondly, the Old
Farmers Almanac has
apparently contradicted
the prognostication of the
CPC.
Technology is a grand
thing, but as we found
ourselves
shoveling
snow every 3.5 days last
winter, we also learned
that technology is by no
means infallible. I tap
into the NOAA computers
on a daily basis, but I
tend to believe that the
old farmers who predict
the weather may be onto
something much better
than the finest technology
can offer.
As per the usual, just
wait a whilewell see
soon enough.

Fall Flu Shot Clinics Planned In Fulton County

Mike Oricko, Health Commissioner at the Fulton


County Health Department wishes to remind the
citizens of Fulton County that flu season is quickly
approaching; being vaccinated against the flu is
the best way to protect you from this respiratory
illness. There are no restrictions as to who can
receive vaccine and there is plenty of vaccine
available for everyone 6 months of age and older.
Your Health Department will provide flu vaccines
by appointment every Monday beginning September
15th and the first walk-in clinic of the season will
be held on Thursday, September 25th at the 606 S.
Shoop Ave location. There will also be appointment
clinics for children and their parents and walk-in
clinics at various locations throughout the county.
This year all flu vaccines contain the H1N1, H3N2,
and the influenza B/Massachusetts virus strains.
The quadrivalent vaccine contains the above three
strains plus the additional B/Brisbane strain.
For years, the flu vaccine has offered protection
from the top three strains of flu viruses scientists
predicted would be circulating during the flu season.
The vaccine contained two different A strains and
one B strain of flu. This is a trivalent vaccine.
With additional testing of people with influenza,
scientists determined that children and younger
adults are more likely to become ill from the B
strains of influenza. As a result, it was decided that
a quadrivalent vaccine would be produced. It
protects against two A strains and two B strains
of influenza virus.
There is also a high-dose influenza vaccine
for people age 65 and above. This vaccine has four
times as much antigen per strain in the vaccine.
The Health Department has been giving high-dose
vaccine to the 65+ population for the past two years.
The high-dose vaccine provides a much higher
immune response in this group and protects against
three strains of virus. Researchers also found that
this group of people has better protection against
B viruses than younger people through previous
exposure; its not as likely that an older adult will
become ill with a B strain of influenza. As a result,
its much better for the person to get high-dose
trivalent vaccine than the new quadrivalent vaccine.
So, as you head out to get your flu shots this
year, be sure you get the high-dose vaccine if you
are age 65 and older. If you are younger, be sure
you are getting the quadrivalent vaccine. When
you see flu shots advertised, youll probably notice
that some are cheaper than others. Just remember
that you may not be comparing apples-to-apples!
The quadrivalent will cost more, but will give better
protection. Be sure to ask what type of vaccine is

being given. Of course, the important thing is to get


vaccinated!
Your Fulton County Health Department will be
giving quadrivalent vaccine to all persons under
the age of 65 as well as the high-dose vaccine for
those aged 65 and above. Medicare, Medicaid, and
most insurances are paying for influenza vaccines.
You will not be paying the increased cost for these
vaccines out-of-pocket. Be sure to check your plans

Approximately 36,000 people die in the U.S. each


year of the seasonal flu and its complications. The
symptoms of influenza include fever, chills, upper
respiratory congestion with cough, body aches and
fatigue. Because it takes about two weeks after
receiving the flu vaccine for protection against the
flu, the CDC recommends that people be vaccinated
as soon as vaccine is available. Everyone is at risk
for the flu, Oricko states. Take the time to get a
vaccination for yourself and encourage your family
members to do the same.
The Fulton County Health Department will be
offering vaccinations at 606 S Shoop Avenue and
other locations on the dates and times listed below.

Disasters can strike at any


time, and the American Red Cross
encourages eligible donors to help
their
communities
prepare
for
emergencies by giving blood during
National Preparedness Month.
The mission of the Red Cross is to
help the public prevent, prepare for
and respond to emergencies. During

Preparedness
Month,
the Red Cross reminds Americans
to take simple steps to get ready
for emergencies in their homes,
workplaces and communities. One
way to support this mission is to
become a regular blood donor.
A stable blood supply is central
to ensuring patient needs are met
in emergencies. Blood can take up
to three days to be tested, processed
and made available for patients. Its
the blood already on the shelves that
can help save lives when disaster
strikes.
Appointments to donate and help
the Red Cross prepare for patient
needs across the country can be made

CHURCH & SPIRITUAL NEWS

Devotional Thought / Fellowship of Christian Athletes


BY: REX STUMP - YOU STINK

You stink! Ever hear


that phrase before?
I
heard a funny story the
other day, let me share it
with you...
It was a particularly
tough football game, and
nerves were on edge. The
home team had been the
victim of three or four
close calls and they were
now trailing the visitors by
a touch-down and a field
goal. When the official
called yet another close
one in the visitors favor, the home quarterback blew his
top. How many times can you do this to us in a single
game? he screamed. You were wrong on the out-ofbounds, you were wrong on that last first down, and you
missed an illegal tackle in the first quarter. The official
just stared.
The quarterback seethed, but he suppressed the language that might get him tossed from the game. What it
comes down to, he bellowed, is that you STINK!
The official stared a few more seconds. Then he bent
down, picked up the ball, paced off 15 yards, and put
the ball down. He turned to face the steaming quarterback. The official finally replied, And how do I smell
from here?
Maybe you told someone they stink. Maybe you said
this about yourself or your team - I stink at this! Or
you could have possibly condemned the surrounding circumstances in your life by saying, This stinks! Then
again, we could be discussing the fact that you literally stink, due to an unappealing scent oozing from your
body - sweat, body odor...etc. Regardless Im sure that at
some point in time this past year, the phrase you stink
has been proclaimed by you or about you!

2 Corinthians 2:14-16a, But thank God! He has


made us his captives and continues to lead us along in
Christs triumphal procession. Now he uses us to spread
the knowledge of Christ everywhere, like a sweet perfume. Our lives are a Christ-like fragrance rising up to
God. But this fragrance is perceived differently by those
who are being saved and by those who are perishing. To
those who are perishing, we are a dreadful smell of death
and doom. But to those who are being saved, we are a
life-giving perfume.
Paul uses something from his day and age that everyone understood - the Roman army. When the Romans
celebrated victory and entered the city in a triumphal
procession, the Roman general would display his treasures and captives within a cloud of incense burned
for the gods. To the victors, the aroma was sweet; to
the captive in the parade it was the smell of slavery and
death. In the same way, when we share or proclaim the
Good News about Jesus Christ, it is good news to some
and repulsive news to others. Those who have faith in
Jesus Christ and believe in Him, this message is a lifegiving fragrance. To those who dont believe, it smells
horrible, a smell of death and doom!
Paul also wrote to the Romans, For I am not ashamed
of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God
at work, saving everyone who believes... (Romans 1:16)
He wasnt ashamed to tell people about Jesus Christ.
He would share this message of truth with every opportunity that came his direction. How about you? Are you
ashamed? Or are you ready to stink it up?!
To some, you smell awesome like a coffee shop, bakery, or grandmas kitchen on Thanksgiving! To others
you will smell like a sweaty locker room, a sewer, or the
insides of a skunk!
So, do you stink for Jesus?
For more reading, check out; Matthew 5:13-15; Acts
22:14-16; and Acts 1:8

Winning The Battle


For A Generation
HOW DO YOU OVERCOME WORRY??
Will I lose my job? Will
my children grow up to be
healthy, responsible adults?
Will I get a bad report when I
take my physical exam? Will
my marriage survive? Does
my husband/wife still love
me? Will I have enough money
this week/month to pay my
bills? And the questions that
reflect our worry worn hearts
could go and on. How do you
overcome worry?
I read the following article in PreachingToday.com
that illustrated how J. Arthur Rank, an early film
pioneer from Great Britain, overcame worry.
Sometimes, if you will just wait, problems take
care of themselves. J. Arthur Rank had a system for
doing that. He was one of the early pioneers of the film
industry in Great Britain, and he also happened to be
a devout Christian.
Rank found he couldnt push his worries out of
his mind completely; they were always slipping back
in. So he finally made a pact with God to limit his
worrying to Wednesday. He even made himself a little
Wednesday Worry Box and he placed it on his desk.
Whenever a worry cropped up, Rank wrote it out and
dropped it into the Wednesday Worry Box.
Would you like to know his amazing discovery?
When Wednesday rolled around, he would open that
box to find that only a third of the items he had written
down were still worth worrying about. The rest had
managed to resolve themselves.
If you have a troubled heart, ask God to give you
a new perspective. Also ask Him to give you patience
so you do not jump ahead and worry about a problem
that may never come. Most important of all, ask God
for more faith. Faith in God is the best remedy for all
our problems. Jesus put it plainly, Do not let your
hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in
Me. (King Duncan, Collected Sermons, adapted from
Daily Bread, Dec. 1, 1999. Cited by David Jeremiah,
Slaying the Giants in Your Life).
Jesus added this to his words regarding how to
overcome worry Luke 12:29 (NIV)
29 And do not set your heart on what you will eat
or drink; do not worry about it.
Perhaps the wisdom of having a worry box with a
word from scripture would be some practical ways for
you to win the battle of worry.
Rick Jones, was former Executive Director of
Defiance Area Youth for Christ and serves
as a pastor of an area local church.
