construction and improvements, was
approved without issue as well. This will
transfer between $1.8-$1.9 million from
the Permanent Improvement Fund to
the schools portion of the construction
project.
Contract extensions were awarded
to Elementary Principal Paul Jones
and
Junior
High/High
School
Principal Tim Rettig by the board. Both
administrators were in the last year of
their deal and both were given a three
year extension on their respective deals.
Superintendent Boyer praised both men
for the improvements theyve made to
the school during their tenure.
Theyve been a real asset to our
school. Boyer proclaimed.
Jones himself stood before the board
as he gave his report.
According to Jones, Kindergarten
enrollment stands at 32 kids. 18 children
are participating in Pre-Kindergarten.
Also, the tactic of co-teaching will be
re-utilized in North Central Elementary
during the 2014-15 school year. In fact,
Sharon Deetz has been moved to the
role of full-time member of the React
to Intervention Program and progress
monitoring.
Jones let the board know that funding
for the 21st Century after-school
program had been cut by the state
government. This program supports the
creation of community learning centers
that provide academic enrichment
opportunities during non-school hours
for children. The state was providing a
grant for said program, but out of 160
applicants in Ohio, only 50-60 schools
received funding,none of which were in
Williams County.
The program may not be totally
dead, however, as Jones brought the
possibility of independently opening a
similar after-school plan.
We do have knowledge on how to
run the program.
Jones also noted that, without state
funding, the school would be able to set
its own standards.

on their start dates so the
transformer and switch

ready.
The concrete
pads are being poured
and will be complete
soon. The Village needs
to keep the transformer
with the company due
to liability issues and
needing to use a crane
in order to move it to a
new pad. The transformer
was ready more quickly
than anticipated. Original
quotes were for one year
but it has only been nine
months. A motion to

by

was
subsequently
unanimously approved.
A second change order
was also presented for
the transportation and
storage of Switchgear
necessary for the Airport
Substation
Expansion
Project. An inquiry was
made as to is storing the
equipment and Lucas
advised
council
that
the trucking company
is currently storing the
items. The storage for
the equipment is also
a timing issue with a
crane being needed for
removal and to place it
on the new concrete pad.

PREPPED AND READY FOR THE YEAR ... The Millcreek-West Unity Board of
Education met in the Hilltop School Library for their August Regular Meeting.
By T.J. Hug
THE VILLAGE REPORTER
Amidst the joyful cacophony of parents
and children walking the hallowed halls
of the building, the Millcreek-West Unity
Board of Education convened in regular
session at Hilltop School.
Grilling out on the front lawn, Hilltop
hosted its open house on August 18, an
earmark of the academic season which
began two days later. Relocating to the
schools library on the second floor, the
Millcreek-West Unity Board of Education
met for its August Meeting without
distraction. The recurring theme of the
evening was preparation of the building
and staff for the school year.
At this stage of the game, were just
moving forward. Superintendent Larry
Long explained to the board.
Theyd actually been moving forward
since August 4, when teachers began
to come in and prepare for the arrival
of their students. Persistently, the
educators continued to come in on a
daily basis.
Al Wheeler, the schools Maintenance
Transportation Manager, updated the
board on renovations to the building
that took place over the summer. Not
before humbly passing off the credit in
favor of his staff, though.
It wasnt me. Wheeler said. I
feel the crew did very well getting the
building ready.
And that was no easy task, either.
The parking lot was painted and
cracks were filled, as the harsh winter
had created more fissures on the asphalt
than usual. This issue had become so
severe that not all cracks were able to
be filled, leaving more work to be done
next summer.
Inside the building,
new lighting was installed in the
gymnasium, replacing 58 lights. Those
lights will eventually be sold, according
to Wheeler. A new garage door was put
up as well, donated to the Ag Shop by
A.J. Door LLC. Plastic strips were used
in an attempt to correct problems with
the old door, but they were ineffective.
Elementary Principal Laura Springer
also addressed the board for her
regular report. Hilltops enrollment from
Preschool to sixth grade is 310 for the
current school year. Students in the
third grade or younger will be taking
the DIBELS and STAR tests in midSeptember. These tests will evaluate
their reading levels, allowing the school
to place struggling children on a reading
improvement plan, or R.I.M.P., for
short. A R.I.M.P. is tailored to the needs
of individual students.
Unable to attend the meeting,
Principal Steven Ridleys report was
reviewed in written form. Of note, Ridley
plans to have all seventh grade students
take a Math Applications course, which

excessive noise and trash.
They also feel that TRW
has not been responsive to
any complaints that they
have made. Administrator
Blue suggested that they
come to the zoning board
meeting on August 25 to
make their comments.
He gave the Kramers a
copy of the plan for the
proposed addition.
Mayor Marlatt passed
out an article from the
Toledo Blade regarding
the shift of property
taxes from business to
homeowners.
The TRW expansion
means there will now be
a large roof where before
there was a grass field,
which means that storm
drainage
becomes
an
issue. The closest catch
basins are at the north
end of Cherry Street and
at the corner of Gross and
Gorham. The drainage
wont currently be able
to get to either basin. The
drainage along Industrial
Parkway is an open ditch
that travels west to a
country tile. TRWs plans
do include a plan for water
retention in the truck dock
during heavy rains that
would allow for gradual
release of the water at a
level not much more than
we handle currently. This
would be enough to cover
a 25-year rain event. We
need to extend the existing
storm drain from Gross
Street approximately 700
feet north along Gorham
to their building. This is
the most feasible/cost
effective plan.
There are three options
for financing:
1. Include in the
new sewer separation
project which is currently
financed 75% grant and
25% loan. Gleason gave a
tentative price of $30,000
for this project.
2. Share the cost with
TRW. It would probably
cost less in total to do
this (about half) but our
share would still be about
$7,500. There would be
no grant funding available
under this option.
3. Require TRW to pay
the full cost, similar to
when you want electricity.
However, they will be
adding jobs with the
expansion, paying more
taxes, etc.
Mr. Cox indicated that
the project is already on
a tight budget, but they
would be able to do a cost
sharing
arrangement.
TRW will be adding 4-5
manufacturing cells with
20-25 added jobs. If they
cannot expand here, they
may need to move the
entire plant elsewhere. Mr.
Cox will get a cost estimate
from the contractor to give
to Administrator Blue.
TRW has already paid a
zoning application fee of
$3,550.00, which is half
of our cost right there.

A GENEROUS BUNCH ... Members of the WHS French Club who generously
donated funds to former Wauseon students who are doing mission work.
By: Tammy Allison
THE VILLAGE REPORTER
French may be a thing of the past at
Wauseon High School, but the legacy of
the French Club will live on through the
generous gift of its members. Last year,
the remaining members of the French
Club chose to disburse the clubs
remaining funds to benefit WHS alumni
and former French Club members. Kim
Hackett, former French teacher, had
many French students over the years
before the school made the decision
to no longer offer French as a foreign
language elective. Mrs. Hackett retired
at the end of the 2013 school year, but
returned to teach French 3 and 4 this
past school year.
Her students enrolled in French
III and IV who had previously been
members of the French Club were
given the opportunity to decide how
the remaining funds from the French
Club would be allocated. The French
Club students had always raised club
funds through their annual fundraiser
of flower sales at Valentines Day. In
the past, monies earned from the flower
sales were always dedicated to St. Judes
Childrens Hospital.
Deciding that St. Judes Childrens
Hospital already has a strong recognition
through its national network of fundraising activities; the students opted to
go another direction with the remaining
funds. They decided to support two
fellow Wauseon High School student
graduates, both of whom were active
in French. They chose to make equal
contributions to both Matt Sauder and
Ashley Freytag. Both of these students
took 4 years of French in high school,
studied French in college, and have
traveled to France. They also have both
chosen to pursue missionary work and
have stayed in contact with their former
French teacher.
As missionaries, both Ashley Freytag
and Matt Sauder are required to raise
their support for their missionary work
in the field. Ashley has been serving
as a missionary in Southwest Mali in

DEDICATION CEREMONY ... Pictured during the presentation are (LEFT TO RIGHT)
Liechty; Shaver; and Burkley.
The Dedication Ceremony for the new
addition at Four County Career Center was
held Thursday evening. Superintendent
Tim Meister opened the ceremony while
William Spiess, past Superintendent,
thanked the Board of Education and
voters for their support and funding to
be able to complete the project. They
both emphasized that the new addition
was not only built for needed space but
most importantly for the safety of the
students and staff. State Representative
Tony Burkley and Kathy Shaver, Senior
District Representative for Congressman
Bob Latta, both spoke of their support
of career and technical education and
the need for facilities such as the Career
Center in Ohio.
