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
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

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
DEW ON THE BEANS ... Cool overnight temperatures led to heavy dew levels on the
soybean fields across the area in August.
