WREATH PLACING ... Placing the wreath were WWII veteran Feron Betts of Bryan, Vietnam veteran Bob Funnell of West Unity American Legion Post 669, and Doris Kingerski
of the Ladies Auxiliary of Post 669.
Sunday December 7th at 12:48 pm
EST - the exact moment the attack started on Pearl Harbor 73 years ago.
A Military Tribute wreath containing
flags for all branches of the service and
the American and POW/MIA flag was
placed at the Williams County Veterans
Memorial below the US flag to honor all
that perished that day. The wreath is also
to remember all who have served and
honor those serving now in our nation's
military. Placing the wreath were WWII
veteran Feron Betts of Bryan Vietnam,
veteran Bob Funnell of West Unity American Legion post 669, and Doris Kingerski
of the Ladies Auxiliary of post 669. Also
in attendance were Noe and Debbie Hernandez of Ossian, In and Mike Frybarger
of West Unity.
The annual Wreaths Across America
ceremony will take place at Floral Grove
Cemetery east of West Unity on Co. Rd.
K Saturday, December 13th starting at
10:30 am with the ceremonial wreaths being placed at 12:00 sharp to coincide with
the ceremonies taking place at over 1000
locations nationwide. Everyone is invited
to attend the event with hopes of other
communities starting their own at their
local cemeteries. I believe it was Calvin
Coolidge that said..."A nation that forgets
it's defenders will itself be forgotten".

FULTON COUNTY
SHERIFFS OFFICE
Sheriff Roy E. Miller announces that the Fulton
County Sheriffs Office conducted a High Visibility Blitz
designated Thanksgiving Blitz,
which started on Nov. 21 and
went through Nov. 30. Deputies who worked this Blitz
made 55 traffic stops and issued 16 citations. The citations were for 7 speed violations, 3 stop sign violations, 3
for driving under suspension,
a marked lane violation, a rear
license plate light violation,
and one for impaired driving.
Deputies also issued 49 warnings to motorists. The High
Visibility Blitz is paid from a
grant that the Sheriffs Office
has received from the Ohio
Department of Public Safety.
Sheriff Miller and his deputies
are dedicated to protecting the
citizens of Fulton County and
the motorists who travel its
highways. This grant allows
extra patrol to enforce the
traffic laws that will increase
the safety of motorists on the
roadway in the areas that are
prone to a higher number of
serious and fatal crashes.
FULTON COUNTY
COMMON PLEAS
An Archbold woman was
sentenced on November 25,
2014, in the Fulton County
Common Pleas Court according to county prosecutor Scott
A. Haselman. Veronica Zambora, 31, of 600 Park Street,
Lot 29, pled guilty to Theft.
Between September 26, 2012
and February 28, 2013, she
received benefits from the Futon County Department of Job
and Family Services to which
she was not entitled. Judge
James E. Barber sentenced
Ms. Zambora to 5 years of
community control and ordered her to pay prosecution
costs and attorney fees, make
restitution of $5,000 to JFS,
stay out of bars/taverns, not
possess or consume alcohol,
seek and maintain employment, be disqualified for 12
months from receiving food
stamps, and serve 2 days in

served. Failure to comply
could result in Ms. Zambora
spending 11 months in prison.

The Board heard from Assistant Chief
Eisel with the Brady Township Fire
Department about a unique equipment
need. Eisel demonstrated a two-way
radio headset used by the firemen who
operate the pumper during fire calls.
The headset cost $438 and the Fire
Department was looking for donations
to cover the cost of a second one since
they currently only have one that was
purchased with pancake breakfast
fundraiser money. The Board asked
questions and after discussion, it was

THE VILLAGE REPORTER
President of Wauseon City Council,
Heather Kost, brought up concerns on
changing the wording of Section 505.01(a)
(2) of the Codified Ordinance to eliminate
breed-specific wording from the definition
of a vicious dog at the December 1 council
meeting.
While the first reading Ordinance 201415 that would amend the definition of a
vicious dog to match that of the State of
Ohios Revised Code 955.11 ultimately
passed 4-1-1, Kosts said I personally
would like to have the other side of the
story before I vote on this issue, because
we havent heard from someone from the
police department and the dog warden.
She abstained from the vote and Richard
Frey was the only dissenting vote.
Kost said that her concerns stemmed
from talking to the dog warden and to a
couple people from veterinarians offices.
She also stated that the dog warden has
some concerns and that she also received
an e-mail from a person who indicated the
state might be changing its wording to be
a little more stringent again at the state
level because of some of the things theyve
seen. Kost suggested tabling the issue for
now, but wasnt opposed to going forward
with voting on the first reading if the others
wanted to do so.
In response to Kosts concerns, Estrada
said the Safety and Code [committee] did
hear from what we feel are pretty important
people in the city being the Chief of Police
and the City Law Director.
The council passed the Safety
committees recommendation to remove
breed-specific language from the vicious
dog ordinance 5-1 at the November 17
meeting. At that meeting, Chief Torbert
stated that Wauseon doesnt have a dog
issue at the moment.
Its not necessarily that we shouldnt
pass it. Its just that I think I dont want
to jump into something and then have to
change it again next year, Kost said.
Estrada said that the committee
contacted other cities in Ohio and Lima

The numbers presented to the now stone silent
audience by Mr. Haselman did not have a silver
lining to their dark cloud.
Four to five percent of all Fulton County youth,
ages 12 to 18, reported that someone had offered
or sold them illegal drugs on school property in the
last 12 months. The average age for onset of alcohol
consumption in Fulton County is between 12.8
and 13.1 years of age. 58 percent of Fulton County
high school students have consumed alcohol, with
22 percent having done so in the last 30 days. 69
percent of Fulton County youth who have consumed
alcohol in the last 30 days, did so in binge drinking.
That number increased to 81 percent for the age 17
and over group.
In Fulton County, 10 percent of high school kids
have smoked pot in the last 30 days. Of the polled
Fulton County youth, 7 percent have admitted to
using inhalants, and 5 percent have admitted the
use of synthetics such as K2, Spice and Bath Salts. 3
percent have abused over-the-counter medications,
and 2 percent have abused cough syrupthe same
amount that have also used cocaine and ecstasy,
respectively.
A huge problem is the misuse of prescription
drugs, especially opiates. These drugs are also
amongst the most frequently misunderstood. In a
survey of Fulton County children from under the
age of 13 to 17, each age group saw smoking a pack
of cigarettes as more dangerous than the misuse of
prescription drugs. This is a horribly erroneous point
of view, as prescription opiates are the gateway for
a cheaper, quicker, but more lethal optionheroin.
The leading cause of accidental death in the
State of Ohio is not automobile accidents, it is drug
overdoses, and has been since 2007. Studies have
shown though, that if a parent or a respected adult
speaks regularly with a child about the dangers of
illicit drugs, that child is 50 percent less likely to try
drugs. It is there that a major chink in the armor
is exposed though as 48 percent of Fulton County
youth report that their parents had not spoken to

How long did it take for the woman with a bleeding disorder to reach out and touch the robe of Jesus?
How long did it take David to throw down his armor and run towards Goliath?
It doesnt take long for your life to change. One
moment, one decision and suddenly you can be
moving in a different direction. That can be bad.
But it also can be good! Do we refuse to act because
we are lazy or fearful? Author Mark Batterson said,
If you let fear dictate your decision, you will live
defensively, reactively, cautiously. Living by faith is
playing offense with your life. Thats the difference
between holding out on God and going all out for
God.
Its time to go all out for God! Its time to set
some God-sized goals! Stop pointing out the problems and become part of the solution. It starts with
one step of faith and 20 seconds of insane courage!
I often challenge teams to set goals. Write them
down. Goals are dreams with a bulls-eye on them!
Get up, get on the offense and take 20 seconds of
insane courage!
Share your testimony. Pray for a friend. Lead
your FCA Huddle or youth group Bible Study. Volunteer to pray. Share your faith. Stand up and
walk away when things get vulgar or disrespectful.
Burn the sinful bridges and blaze new trails for God!
Say an encouraging word to the person working the
cash register! Do it!
Quit holding out - quit holding back - 20 seconds
of insane courage for God! Go for it!
