The Vision Of Saras Garden Blossoms In Wauseon
Fulton County Treasurer Bev Schlosser Set To Retire November 30th After 28 Years
By: Mark Mercer THE VILLAGE REPORTER Fulton County Treasurer Bev Schlosser is set to retire on November 30, after 28 years of service in the Treasurers Office. Bev began her service in Fulton County as the Deputy Treasurer in December of 1985, and served in that capacity until she was appointed to her current position in September of 2003. Bev was appointed by the Republican Central Committee following the retirement of Dennis Hale from the Treasurers position. Bev then had to run for election soon after her appointment in March 2004, and has then been re-elected to the Treasurers Office an additional 2 terms. Bevs duties during her three terms in office include the collection of all real estate property tax, manufactured home tax, personal property tax, and estate tax. In addition, all monies collected throughout the various county departments are processed through the Treasurer's Office. The fees for vendors and cigarette licenses are also collected in the treasurers office. Bev has also managed and been responsible for the County Investment Portfolio, which is made up of several investments that total approximately $35 million. It is the Treasurer's responsibility to ensure that all public funds are invested with absolute safety and security. Bev stated that her time in the office has been interesting and challenging, but as a people person, it has been a very enjoyable time in office. One of the unique changes Bev witnessed during her service to the county was the transition from the pre-computer age to the computer age. Bev also stated the amount of money the office has managed has grown tremendously since I first

COMFORT ZONE ... Judy Burkholder, Clinic Director, and granddaughter sit inside their hyperbaric oxygen chamber. By: Tammy Allison THE VILLAGE REPORTER What began as a tragedy in the lives of two families, has blossomed into a ministry serving individuals across states and even into other countries. The Burkholder and Rychener families anticipated a blessed event in the birth of their son and grandson on March 15, 2002, only this pregnancy and birth did not end as joyfully expected. Sara Burkholder died during childhood birth leaving spouse Jay to raise newborn son Jackson alone. Jacksons little life was not without his own set of challenges, though. Jackson, born without oxygen during the delivery, experienced the effects that lack of oxygen can have on the body and was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy (CP). At age 13 months, the family learned of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) treatment. Grandmothers took turns transporting Jackson to Detroit for treatments. The family began to see immediate positive changes in Jackson. For instance, he no longer cried in his car seat, and his appetite increased three fold. In the next nine months, he grew 7 inches and gained 7 pounds. The family realized how fortunate they were to be able to take Jackson to Detroit for treatments, but also realized that many other families would not easily be able to do this. A vision unfolded-maybe people in this community could benefit from such a facility if one was closer. Possibly families with triplets with CP or single mothers with children with disabilities in this community could be helped by HBOT. Today, several years later after this vision first enveloped the families with a God-given purpose; Saras Garden has transpired into a reality and will celebrate their 10 year anniversary on May 5, 2014. If you drive by Saras Garden at the corner of Leggett Street and Lawrence Avenue in Wauseon, you will notice a construction project in full-swing. Judy Burkholder, Clinic Director and Jacksons grandmother, shares that Saras Garden is presently in Stage 1 of their building expansion process. The facility is in desperate need of more office space. The construction is presently focused on six additional offices, a conference area, a mini-caf area for clients to prepare food between treatments, an expanded assessment room, and an expanded waiting area for families and friends. Phase 2 of the project will include removing the original chamber, refurbishing it, painting it purple to match the other, newer chamber, and changing the entrance to allow for more efficient flow. Saras Garden treated its first clients with hyperbaric oxygen therapy in April 2005. The original hyperbaric chamber was donated by the United States Navy and is a refurbished and reliable U.S. Navy dive chamber. HBOT is the administration of 100% pure oxygen in the presence of pressure. The chamber that a person sits inside for the treatment acts as a pop can, and the patient becomes like living soda pop. During the treatment, oxygen is dissolved directly into the blood so the body no longer has to rely on red blood cells to absorb oxygen. Patients undergoing treatments wear a hood while inside the chamber. The original chamber holds 5 clients/staff while the newer HyperTec 7200 Series hyperbaric chamber constructed specifically for Saras Garden in April 2010, holds 10 clients/ staff. Inside the spacious chamber more than oxygen exchange occurs. Relationships are built. Burkholder shared that during the past summer months, a killer Uno club was going on inside the chamber during treatments. Patients undergo treatments consisting of anywhere from 75 minutes to greater than 2 hours depending on diagnosis. During their treatments, they can watch TV, read, work on homework, visit with one another, and play games. People become support systems to one another, and long-lasting relationships are built across the country. This summer, Burkholder spent time in the chamber with children from Oregon, Mississippi, West Virginia, Maryland, Michigan, ... CONTINUED ON PAGE 18

began, going from $12 million dollars in 1985 to over $65 million today, the tax base in the county has expanded significantly over the past 28 years. In addition to Bevs retirement, her longtime friend and co-worker Pam Yoder, Chief Deputy Treasurer, will also be stepping aside and retiring after 33 years of service to the county. Bevs replacement, since her retirement comes in the middle of her term, will be appointed by the Republican Central Committee 5 days after her retirement. Bevs plans for the future include spending time with her mother, Lorna Hausch (88) and she plans to do some traveling, spending time with her two sons Wes and Jacob, who reside in Georgia.

Public Encouraged To Donate Four County Career Center Hosts Lunch Expo Blood Around Thanksgiving
Some say Thanksgiving should be more than just a single day. When you donate blood through the American Red Cross, you can give thanks for a lifetime. As you reflect on what you are grateful for this holiday season, set aside time to come donate blood, said Tracy Fox, spokesperson for the Indiana-Ohio Blood Services Region of the American Red Cross. Your donation can give someone another moment, another day, another holiday to spend with love ones and friends. And thats something to feel thankful for. Patients rely on blood from volunteer donors. In fact, patients across the U.S. need more than 44,000 pints of blood each day to treat emergency and ongoing medical conditions. Locally, about 500 blood donations are needed daily for patients in the more than 60 hospitals served by the Indiana-Ohio Blood Services Region of the Red Cross. But while the need for blood is constant, the supply of blood sometimes isnt. Blood donations can dip around the holidays, making it important for donors to make and keep appointments to ensure a strong and stable blood supply for sick and injured people. If you want to express your gratitude this holiday season and do something meaningful for others, try blood donation, said Fox, Someone, maybe in your very community, will need blood this holiday season and will be thankful for the gift of life you can give. UPCOMING AMERICAN RED CROSS BLOOD DRIVES IN YOUR AREA: Saturday, Nov. 16, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at Wesley United Methodist Church in Rooms 5 & 6, located at 903 Center St. in Bryan. HOW TO DONATE BLOOD To schedule an appointment to donate please call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-7332767) 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. Please bring your Red Cross blood donor card or other form of positive ID when you come to donate.

READY FOR OPENING NIGHT When a city teenager moves to a small town and finds rock music and dancing have been banned, his defiant spirit shakes up the repressed community he now calls home. Caught up in the classic tale of teenage rebellion ~ and the celebration of listening and guiding them with a warm heart and an open mind ~ played out in Footloose: The Musical, are townspeople, from left, Vi Moore (Cassidy Wilson), Rev. Shaw Moore (Alex Baker), Ethel McCormack Corisa Brown), Ariel Moore (Kaitlyn Sonneberger), Rusty (Jordan Matthews) and Willard Hewitt (Wyatt Zulch).
By: Lucinda Held Faulhaber THE VILLAGE REPORTER Small town Texas ~ complete with cowboy hats, boots, line dancing (even a feed mill!) ~ makes its way to Edon High School this weekend for the schools eagerly awaited production of Footloose: The Musical! Ren, Ariel, Rusty, Willard and friends take center stage at 7:00 p.m. Friday, November 15 and Sunday, November 17, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. in the Edon Schools Auditeria. Based on one of the most explosive movie musicals in recent memory, Footloose: The Musical broke open onto live stage with equally amazing results. Premiering fifteen years ago at Broadways Richard Rodgers Theatre, the production thrilled audiences for nearly two years before closing in July 2000. With charttopping songs once committed to memory Almost Paradise, Holding Out For A Hero, Lets Hear It For The Boy and the toe-tapping title song Footloose ~ along with dynamic, new songs written specifically for the stage musical ~ this rockin rhythm, Tony-nominated score will keep you captivated all evening long. Set in rural Beaumont, the story follows Ren McCormack and his familys move from big-city Chicago to the conservative farming community where he faces a real case of culture shock. Although trying his best to fit in, the streetwise teenager cant quite comprehend that he now lives in a place where his much-loved rock music and dancing are against the law! Wanting to do away with the town ordinance ~ instituted by local minister Shaw Moore to exercise control over the towns youth, including his own rebellious daughter, Ariel ~ Ren is the only one courageous enough to make their case before town council. With high hopes of having the outdated ban abolished in time for senior prom, a fixed vote easily defeats the motion and leaves Ren and his friends devastated. However, what emerges next is a tender, heartfelt revelation of a father longing for the son he lost and a young man aching for the father who walked out on him. Realizing grief and pain have overshadowed his life, and the lives of the community, Reverend Moore later on announces to his parishioners that after much soul searching, he has had a change of heart in fact, a dance just might be a good idea after all! Excited with the news, young people of all ages in Beaumont are now able to dance freely for the first time in years. As everyone joins in, the long awaited evening becomes not only a celebration but a blissful expression of healing as well. In daring to dance, Ren, Ariel and friends revitalized the spirit of their reserved community, giving its townspeople plenty of reasons to Cut Footloose! Bringing the vigorous and delightful production to life for their audience are Mike Peeples (Ren McCormack); Kaitlyn Sonneberger (Ariel Moore); Alex Baker (Rev. Shaw Moore), Cassidy Wilson (Vi Moore), Corisa Brown (Ethel McCormack), Jordan Matthews (Rusty), Wyatt Zulch (Willard Hewitt), River Wicker (Jeter), Kaden Sapp (Bickle), Evan Fisk (Garvin), Shannon Wieland (Wendy Jo), Crista Wortkoetter (Urleen), Colten Lyman (Chuck), Kenny Ordway (Lyle), Heath Brown (Travis), Baylee Gearhart (Lulu), Kaylie Brown (Elanor), Alexis Mitchell (Principal Clark), Crista Wortkoetter (Cowgirl Crista), Haley Jacoby (Betty Blast), Roxana Klempner (Coach Dunbar), Zane Eicher (Wes), Andrew LaDuke (Cop); Brittany Combs, Hailey Engel, Chelsea Mocherman, Karli Munger, Mikaela Myers, Luke Price, JJ Braun, Alyson Bergdall, Josh Braun, Katie Church, Alyssa Maier, Braden Miller, Sarah Lemmon, Karissa Sonneberger (Student Body at Beaumont High School) and Baylee Gearhart, Haley Jacoby, Kaitlyn Manahan, Emily Kaylor, Alexia Ewers, Kaela Gearhart, Hannah Kaylor, Shaylee Manahan, Paige Schaffter and Samantha Trausch (Principle Dancers). Co-Directing the production are Mrs. Cathy Frastaci and Ms. Crystal Bowers; senior Corisa Brown is assisting them as student director. This high-energy, dancefilled rendition of Footloose: The Musical is truly an enjoyable event you wont want to miss. Ticket prices for each performance are $8.00 for Adults and $6.00 for Students and Senior Citizens; freewill donations will be accepted during the special dress rehearsal slated for 7:00 p.m., Thursday, November 14. For more information, contact Edon Northwest Local Schools at 419-272-3213, Extension 1000. Be sure to Kick off your Sunday shoes and let the cast of Footloose pull you off of your knees!

meet at 6:30 p.m. prior to December 2nds 7:00 p.m. meeting at the West Unity Village Library. Old business was also addressed with a mention of gratitude for the successful Auction/Fall Festival and the efforts of all involved. From Octobers meeting, the Office Safe previously discussed was purchased and installed, and an upgrade of office technology (all in one Color Laser machine for the office) was still being reviewed for best price options. The guest speaker for the evening was Williams County Sherriff Steve Towns. Sherriff Towns, a 1986 graduate of Hilltop High School, was elected to his current position in November of 2012, and is a member of The Fraternal Order of the Police, as well as the Buckeye Sherriffs Association. Among the several issues addressed by Sherriff Towns, school safety was at the top of the agenda, and the Sherriff outlined two programs that are key to making the counties schools safer. The first program, the DARE program has been reinvigorated in all county schools, and the key issues that will be addressed are drug awareness and antibullying efforts. Sherriff Towns stated that the county is making a full on effort to confront the use of Spice, a pharmaceutical drug causing devastating and harmful effects on users, as well as a note regarding the use of Meth in Williams County. The department has concentrated multiple resources to combat the use of these drugs and is exploring innovative ways to confront the continued availability of these throughout the county. The second program Sherriff Towns discussed is the ALICE program for school safety. ALICE stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter and Evacuate. Sherriff Towns discussed how the program is a common sense program designed to get students out of danger in an emergency situation. Finally, the attendees were briefed on being aware of scams, trying to take advantage of elderly citizens. The Sherriff would like all residents to exercise caution when dealing with solicitors seeking personal or financial information. Following the guest speaker, the board then recognized the 2013 Member of The Year, Knead for Therapy, owned by Tina Booher. Knead for Therapy was recognized by the board for being a unique business that draws clients from all over Northwest Ohio and Southern Michigan and is an active supporter of the community and school events. Tina was accompanied by staff members Trina Ross and Amanda Matson at the event. The boards criteria for selecting member of the year is economic growth contribution, community betterment contribution, and community involvement and volunteer efforts. The owner and staff at Knead for Therapy excelled in all three of these areas during 2013. The final award for the evening was the presentation of Citizen of the Year. 2013s award was presented to Jim Eisel, West Unity Street Supervisor. Jim began working for the street department in 1994, and was appointed to his present position in 1995. In addition to his outstanding performance at work, Jim is also very involved in community affairs and is known for lending a helping hand to his neighbors in time of need. Jims involvement in chamber affairs also ensures each event put on in the community is an outstanding success. He is also serving in the position of Assistant Chief of the Brady Township Fire Department, which he has held since 1995 and has been a member of the department since 1981. Jim is a 1979 graduate of Hilltop High School, and holds a degree in Auto & Diesel Mechanics from Northwestern Business College in Lima. Jim is married to Pam Eisel, and has 6 children and 7 grandchildren. The board also honored with special recognition the Brady Township Fire Department for their dedication and duty to the community. Board President Alan Bennett stated these volunteers are the silent heroes of our community, they dont do it for fame, and they do it for a love of others. The board, members of the chamber and guests in attendance paid a long tribute by applause to these volunteers for their dedication and sacrifices to the community.

Benefit Being Hosted To Help Stryker Woman

By: Mitchell Peeples THE VILLAGE REPORTER Seven dollars is all it will take to help a local mother of three who is facing a major challenge. Fonda Grisier is a lifelong resident of Williams County who was recently diagnosed with throat cancer for the second time in ten years. Fonda was able to successfully battle the disease the first time around. However, a more aggressive version has been diagnosed, and is now spreading to other areas including her lungs, making her battle even more difficult than before. Since she is without health insurance, Fonda is currently off of work, and is at the James Cancer Center in Columbus Ohio seeking treatment. Being the single mother of three children, Autumn, Ashley, and Austin, Fondas medical bills are mounting higher and higher by the day.

REFLECTIONS FROM FAYETTES PAST
2nd Annual Kellen Keiser Memorial Walk/Run Continues Tradition Of Positive Outreach
By: Chelsie Firestone THE VILLAGE REPORTER Anyone at all familiar with Team KBob knows that the mission of its supporters is simple to bring something positive out of the loss of Kellen Keiser, who lost his battle with leukemia in 2010, while only a sophomore in high school. It is with that sentiment that Team K-Bob has come together with the help of the community to organize events such as the 2nd Annual Kellen Keiser Memorial Walk/Run. This years walk/run, held at the Fayette School on November 9, was organized so that everyone who wanted to was able to participate regardless of their fitness level or age. With options ranging from Fun Runs of 200 or 400 meters for youngsters to 5K walks and runs to half-marathon routes for individuals or teams, no one who wanted to show their support was without a route that was tailored for his or her ability. Strollers and wagons were also welcome so that those willing to participate as a family could bring their children out. With varying routes winding down the county roads of Fayette, assistance needed with traffic control and volunteers to help pass out water to runners and walkers also gave others wanting to help ways to lend a hand. Still many other volunteers stepped in lending a hand with registration, timing runners and walkers, handing out awards, and all the other multitude of tasks that it takes to put on such an event. Volunteers such as Gary and Mary Jo Kast came from as far as Grand Ledge, Michigan to help the Keisers make the event a success and to lend support to their long time friends. While having moved away from the Fayette area years before, Gary Kast was quick to point out that You just cant beat the support of a small town. It was a sentiment echoed by Kris Keiser, who noted that the support from the community has been tremendous since Kellen first became sick in 2009 and that the plan remains to see some positive come out of the loss. Support for Team K-Bobs efforts comes from both community members who come out to help by volunteering their time, making donations, or by running or walking. Awards were given to each of the runners who finished first in their respective age and gender divisions. However, the emphasis on the walk/run was not to see who could win a race but rather to work together to help raise the funds that Team K-Bob uses to support both Relay For Life of Fulton County and Friends 4 the Fields, which both receive donations from Team K-Bob in honor of Kellens memory. However, as Kris Keiser also pointed out Nothing comes from nothing and events such as the Kellen Keiser Memorial Walk/Run are also heavily dependent on the sponsorship of area businesses. Kris Keiser also explained that it is their hope to be able to pay all of the expenses for the event out of sponsorships and donations so that all of the funds raised by the walkers and runners can be used to donate to Relay For Life and Friends 4 the Fields. With a turn out of 309 participants last year that helped to raise approximately $5000, the goal for this year was to surpass those numbers. While the final numbers are still being put together, it is difficult to say whether or not that goal was met but easy to say that the turn out was good as a large number of runners and walkers of all ages, many bundled up to fight off the biting wind, massed together at the routes start at the school. And, while those final numbers are being put together, it is also easy to say that anyone who might have missed out on the walk/run can still lend a hand by sending a donation to Team K-Bob. Checks can be made out Team K-Bob and mailed to Kris Keiser, 10125 Co Rd 21-2, Fayette, Ohio, 43521. Chelsie Firestone can be reached at chelsie@thevillagereporter.com

How To Make Your Holiday Season More Eco-Friendly

Come the holiday season, it can be easy to overlook certain things, like eco-friendly living, in an effort to make entertaining easier. The holiday season has become a time of excess, with large meals, an overabundance of presents and other wasteful measures. This year, environmentally conscious hosts can make an effort to make their celebrations more environmentally friendly. * Purchase locally made gifts to reduce the amount of shipping required. This cuts down on materials used and fossil fuels that power planes or cargo ships needed to transport products made overseas. * According to the Environmental Protection Agency, roughly 40 percent of all battery sales take place during the holidays. Consumers concerned about the effect of batteries on the environment can give only battery-free gifts. * Make your own gifts. Not all gifts have to be bought at the store. There are many meaningful gifts that can be made by hand, and homemade gifts cut back on potentially harmful production practices and transportation. * Rely on natural items when decorating your home. When decking the halls this holiday season, collect pine cones and holly from outdoors and make garlands from raffia or vines. These materials can be put into compost heaps or ground up into mulch later on, reducing waste. * Cut back on lighting by reducing the number of lights you string up on your home and choosing energyefficient lights. LED lights, which use up to 95 percent less energy than traditional bulbs, is another way to leave a smaller carbon footprint this holiday season. * Avoid especially flashly wrapping paper.

Recycle Yard Waste Into Valuable Compost
The benefits of recycling are numerous. Reusing products and items saves money, reduces the amount of energy needed to make new items and reduces the amount of garbage that ends up in landfills. Paper is a commonly used recyclable material. In the United States, the world's largest consumer of paper, the average person uses the equivalent of a 100-foot tall douglas fir tree worth of paper and wood products every year, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Reusing consumed paper helps to reduce the number of trees cut down for making new paper and paper products. In order to cut down on the space that paper stored for recycling takes up, many people choose to shred the paper and compress it into bags to put out for pick-up. Shredded paper can be sent out for municipal recycling. However, there are many other practical uses for shredded paper. Here are the many different ways to put shredded paper to good use. Mulch: Forget buying mulching materials from the garden center. Use shredded paper bags and newspapers to provide weed control and to keep plants moist. Lay down the shredded paper as you would any mulching material on the soil in garden beds. Use a hose to wet it down and prevent flyaway. Mixing shredded paper with grass seeds also helps keep the seeds damp to create faster germination when reseeding bare spots. Worm bin: Some green gardeners have a worm bin in addition to a compost bin in their backyards. Worms produce a lot of nitrogen, which can cause a strong odor. Adding shredded paper, which is high in carbon, will neutralize the odor. Cat litter: Soak paper in water and a little dish soap to dissolve any ink. Rinse and repeat with clean water. Add baking soda to the paper pulp and knead it in. Crumble the pulp into bits and allow it to dry thoroughly. Then use as cat litter material. Animal bedding: Use shredded paper in the bottom of cages of small rodents, who will use it for nesting material, The paper also will help absorb animal waste for easier cage cleaning. Paper also can be used for dog or cat beds. Find a discounted material from the fabric store and sew inside out, leaving a small hole for stuffing. Stuff the paper shreds inside, and you have just made an inexpensive dog or cat bed to keep pets cozy. Wood stove material: Shredded paper can be used with kindling to start a fire in a wood-burning stove. Some people like to wet the paper and then make molds of "bricks" or "pucks" that can be used more easily once dried. Fill gift bags: Rather than buying tissue paper to use in gift bags, use shredded paper instead. Multi-colored shredded paper will go with just about any colored gift bag. Packing material: Fill reused zipper-top bags or produce plastic bags with the paper and then use them in boxes when shipping fragile materials. It's better for the environment than plastic or foam peanuts. Potting soil: Mix paper into potting soil to help the soil retain moisture. As the paper breaks down, it serves as a nutrition source for the plant. Craft projects: Mix shredded paper with equal parts flour and water to make papier mache modeling material. Storage: When moving or putting items in storage, pack them in boxes or bags filled with shredded paper to prevent breakage. Party confetti: During an outdoor party, enable kids to toss shredded paper as confetti. The material will not harm the lawn or soil.
Composting may be a person's first foray into an ecofriendly lifestyle. Compost is a nutrient-rich natural fertilizer that some people refer to as "black gold." It can be made from most types of lawn and garden waste as well as some discarded items from the kitchen. Many people have renewed interest in composting because they understand the environmental ramifications of over-reliance on chemical fertilizers. Ground water may become contaminated and certain fertilizers may have adverse effects on wildlife. Compost, a living organism of sorts, comprised of beneficial bacteria, insect life and nutrients for plants, is on the other side of the plant food spectrum. Because it can be generated for little to no cost, compost is not only environmentally responsible but economical as well. A home landscape can provide a wealth of material to use in a compost heap or bin. Rather than putting fallen leaves or lawn clippings to the curb or in the trash, they can be turned into beneficial material to help keep your garden self-sustained. To begin, you will first need to determine the composting method that will work for you. Compost can be generated from a pile of material placed in an out-of-the-way corner of the yard or be created in a specially designed, expensive compost bin. Many homeowners fall in between these two methods with their compost systems. Most create their own bins from wood and chicken wire or even use a trash container to contain the compost. Once the container or pile location is established, it is time to start the compost recipe. In order to function optimally, compost should have an abundance of aerobic bacteria, which will compost the waste quickly. Aerobic bacteria need oxygen and a certain amount of moisture to survive. Therefore, it is important to include materials in the compost that will achieve these conditions. Composters frequently refer to "greens" and "browns" in a compost mix. Greens are fresh leaves and grass clippings and kitchen scraps. These materials will have an abundance of moisture as well as nitrogen. Browns are older, dried out plant material and wood. The browns help create air cushions in the compost that facilitate aeration and also contain carbon. Without aeration, the compost will compact down too quickly, which could slow down the decomposition process. This may result in a foul odor. Avoid the use of bones, meat or cheese in a compost bin. This will only attract scavengers and may rot faster than it can be decomposed by the bacteria. Also, avoid pet waste or any lawn trimmings that have been treated with pesticides. Turning the compost will help keep it aerated and will also distribute the bacteria. This can help speed along the composting process. Avoid adding weeds to juvenile compost because it may not be hot enough to kill the seeds and then you'll be stuck with weeds in the compost -- and wherever you place that compost. Moisture is essential to the compost. Each time you add new material to the compost bin, dampen it. It should be moist but not dripping. Adding a balance between greens and browns should help regulate the moisture level as well. Remember, during warmer months, the compost may dry out more, so you will need to be on top of the moisture levels. The composting process works best at temperatures between 120 and 150 F. The compost will generate its own heat as matter is broken down. However, the heat of warm months can speed up the process. Novice composters may want to begin their composting in the summer as a first attempt. Hot composting piles can be turned into soil fertilizer in as little as 8 to 10 weeks. Therefore, plan your composting start date accordingly. Soon after you may have a naturally sustainable garden that produces material enough to continually feed your existing compost pile.

The Vision Of Saras Garden ...

granted, the construction will start in April to be completed for the 2014-2015 school year. Saras Garden saves human suffering and gives hope to parents and children. Burkholder expresses, Our clients have so many needs. Parents want their kids to be okay. We are taking care of families. Their website shares countless success stories of how HBOT has helped people with a variety of ailments, but those behind the vision of Saras Garden are quick to give all the credit to God. Burkholder shares a compelling story of a dream that Julie Rychener had a dream of waves, waves and waves of children. We are there, Burkholder says, waves and waves of childrenwe serve them so that they may live a productive, independent life. Jesus told us that little kids are his favorite. Burkholder is quick to express that if Saras Garden isnt able to provide these children with the best services that they need for their issues, they will help them find where they can best be served. The future vision for Saras Garden? We have 9 acres in city limits. We would love to see the entire 9 acres built to serve people. They envision an onsite health care center, an onsite Jackson House for clients to stay when traveling to Saras Garden, a handicap accessible playground, an indoor therapy swimming pool, a daycare center, a cafeteria for clients and families, and even possibly a place for families to get a massage or pedicure while loved ones undergo treatments. The possibilities are endless, the vision is huge, but through it all, those behind Saras Garden will attest that God has been faithful. The mission of Saras Garden is about helping people reach their fullest potential in life. For her own grandson Jackson born without oxygen and with Cerebral Palsy, Burkholder says, My goal for my grandson is he will go to college, he will be socially productive. Saras Garden does not define people by their disabilities but by their potential. Saras Garden is a 501(c)(3) non-profit facility so all gifts are tax-deductible and 100 % of the gift goes directly to benefit real people. For more information about the services they provide or how you can give to Saras Garden, you can visit their website at http://www.sarasgarden.org Tammy Allison may be reached at publisher@thevillagereporter.com
Trick Or Treat Coloring Winners Announced

The Village Reporter would like to thank everyone who supported the Trick or Treat Coloring Contest by sending in all the wonderful entries. This years winners are: Reiss Creighton of Stryker, Olivia Kannel of Montpelier, Alayna Dean of Edon, Karis Wheeler of Montpelier, Marissa Myers of Stryker and Kinsey Myers of Stryker. Thank you again for all the entries and keep coloring for our Easter Coloring Contest to be held this Spring.
Ohio, Indiana, Louisiana, and Canada. Because so many families travel from out of town, Saras Garden also has an off-site Jackson House that families can stay at. HBOT has been proven effective in a multitude of conditions such as anemia, diabetes, sports injuries, stroke, migraines, burns, Cerebral Palsy, brain injuries, Multiple Sclerosis, insect bites, spinal injuries, and many other conditions. Health benefits include enhancing white blood cell activity, reducing swelling and inflammation, increasing production of stem cells, boosting the immune system, boosting metabolism, increasing appetite, reducing scarring, increasing metabolism and appetite, decreasing pain, and reversing tissue damage to name a few. A multitude of success stories testify to the blessing of Saras Garden. For Beth Yackee, a freshman at Wauseon High School, her soccer injury April of her eighth grade year resulted in a broken tibia, and ended her spring traveling soccer season. Looking forward to playing high school soccer, she was disappointed when her leg was not healing as quickly as she expected. In September, her family turned to HBOT for hope, and in only 2 weeks of treatments, the bone had started to grow. Yackee says, It sped up the bone growth, and I was released to practice and play soccer. I really think it [HBOT] works. She was even able to finish her freshman soccer season with some varsity playing time. Although Saras Garden is most widely known for its HBOT, they also offer other services to the community. Connected with Saras Garden is the New Horizons Academy School which offers conductive education, sensory processing, and autism intervention. The school offers a holistic learning approach utilizing the conductive education principles to serve children with special learning needs. The school is held at the Hope Center on Saras Garden property and is an Ohio Department of Education recognized school. New Horizons Academy has seen increased enrollment of students over the past few years. The additional offices being built at Saras Garden will serve as temporary classrooms for the school. The Board has authorized the drawing up for an addition to the school to house 10-12 more classrooms. If approval is

Edon Area Ministerial Association Holds Monthly Community Dinner
Winning The Battle For A Generation

TO WHOM HAVE I SHOWN MY GRATITUDE?
Some 30 years ago the Lord laid upon my heart one Christmas Eve to write a note of thanks to an uncle who greatly impacted my life. My uncle was touched by this act of showing gratitude. There are many ways to express our gratitude, thank-you notes, cards, messages but few would rise to the experience of thanksgiving like a missionary had in Tibet. In 1921, Dr. Albert Shelton wrote an account of his service as a missionary in Tibet. Walking along the road one day, he met an old couple. When they saw him, they got down on the side of the road and began bumping their heads on the ground as a sign of humility. Shelton told them to get up, that he did not allow anyone to bow before him. Then they brought him an old rooster, a dirty piece of butter and six eggs and reminded the doctor their son had been severely injured in an accident. The doctor had operated on him and saved his life. They had come to thank him. They had walked five days just to say, Thank you. Regarding being thankful the Apostle Paul wrote to the church at Colossi Colossians 3:15 (NLT), 15 And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful. Whatever it may take for us to express thanks to someone for their help in our life, lets purpose to show gratitude while theres still an opportunity and time.

BY: REX STUMP - STAY HUNGRY!
gettable scene from the movie, Remember The Titans, in which we can find a little inspiration. The Titans football team has had an unforgettable season during Americas unforgettable period of integration/ segregation. The Titans were playing in the State finals and losing at halftime. It was during halftime that Coach Boone addressed his weary and broken players in the locker room. Coach Boone said, Its all right. Were in a fight. You boys are doing all that you can do. Anybody can see that. Win or lose... We gonna walk out of this stadium tonight with our heads held high. Do your best. Thats all anybody can ask for. Julius (Player) interrupted, No, it aint Coach. With all due respect, uh, you demanded more of us. You demanded perfection. Now, I aint saying that Im perfect, cause Im not. And I aint gonna never be. None of us are. But we have won every single game we have played till now. So this team is perfect. We stepped out on that field that way tonight. And, uh, if its all the same to you, Coach Boone, thats how we want to leave it. I like the scene because it was the player, not the coach, who realized that he was still hungry. He was not finished. He wanted more. Too often we find ourselves in a state of satisfaction. We are okay with being average or just making the team. We are comfortable with just looking at pictures of dream vacations. We are content with just getting by in our work, grades, and relationships. Stop it! Thats not Christ-like! Dont be satisfied with just getting by or just saying that you want to do more. In Matthew 5:6, Jesus says, Blessed are those who hunger... This hunger describes a profound hunger that cannot be satisfied by a snack. Its a longing that endures and is never completely satisfied on this side of eternity. This hunger is real, natural, intense, and a driving force! There are many who hunger for power, authority, success, comfort, happiness - but how many of us hunger and thirst for righteousness? In John 14:15 we read, If you love me, obey my commandments. Read that carefully...If you love me. I imagine that if I walked into any church, youth-group, FCA Huddle, etc., and asked Do you love Jesus? 99% of those in attendance would answer, Yes. I would then ask, How many of you obey His commands all the time? Would I have the same number responding Yes? I wonder if most of say we love Jesus but we dont obey His commands. Are we guilty of being satisfied with just saying I love Jesus but yet we arent faithful in obeying his commands? Dont be satisfied with just saying one thing and not doing another! If you love Jesus, obey Him! Stay hungry for Gods righteousness - keep loving and living for Jesus! For more reading, check out: Proverbs 15:9, I Timothy 6:11, and 2 Timothy 2:22.

Wauseon Opens Collection Site For Global Christmas Project

With holiday supplies already covering the store shelves, Wauseon individuals, families, churches and groups are working to make Christmas a reality for needy kids around the world by lling shoeboxes with toys, school supplies, hygiene items and notes of encouragement. Operation Christmas Child, the worlds largest Christmas project of its kind, is ramping up as Wauseon residents prepare to collect 2,000 gift-lled shoeboxes during National Collection Week (Nov. 1825). At this local collection site in the Wauseon area, anyone can drop off a giftlled shoebox to send to a child overseas. Then using whatever means necessarytrucks, trains, boats, bikes and even elephants the shoebox gifts will be delivered to children worldwide. For many children, the shoebox gift will be the rst gift they have ever received. Wauseon Collection Site: North Clinton Mennonite Church 831 W Linfoot Street Wauseon, OH 43567 1-800-567-8580 Operating Hours: Mon Sun Nov. 18 24 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Mon - Nov. 25 7:30 a.m. - 8:30 a.m. Though the shoebox gifts will often travel thousands of miles, Operation Christmas Child offers a way for participants to follow their box by using the donation form found at samaritanspurse.org. Donors will receive an email telling the country where their shoeboxes are delivered. Operation Christmas Child has collected and delivered more than 100 million shoebox gifts to suffering children in more than 100 countries since 1993. Celebrating its 20th anniversary, Operation Christmas Child hopes to collect another 9.8 million giftlled shoeboxes in 2013. Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritans Purse, an international Christian relief and evangelism organization headed by Franklin Graham. For more information on how to participate in Operation Christmas Child, call 1-937374-0761 or visit samaritanspurse.org. National Collection Week for gift-lled shoeboxes is Nov. 18-25; however, shoebox gifts are collected all year at the Samaritans Purse headquarters in Boone, N.C. Participants can also build a box through an online tool offering a personalized and convenient way to send a gift to a child in one of the hardest-toreach countries.
