Fulton County Receives Wellness Grant; Implements Wellness Initiatives For 2014
Fulton County is pleased to announce that they are the recipients of a Wellness Grant for 2014 from the County Employee Benefits Consortium of Ohio (CEBCO). The award of $5,760, will be used for implementing a variety of wellness initiatives for county employees who are enrolled in CEBCO, the countys insurance provider. We are thrilled to receive this grant, states Laura Howell, Director of Organizational Development for Fulton County. Fulton County has a long history of providing wellness to their employees. However, over the last few years, we havent been able to provide as many wellness initiatives as funding sources have diminished. So receiving this award is exciting for us as we feel that it is beneficial for employees to have access to healthy lifestyle activities as well as to have access to education on a variety of topics related to health. Howell notes that a wellness committee, comprised of various county employees and community members has been re-instated and has begun planning 2014 initiatives. The committee is currently comprised of Howell, Sharon Morr, Director of Corporate and Community Health Promotion at Fulton County Health Center, Rachel Kinsman, Health Education Coordinator/Public Information Officer for the Fulton County Health Department, Melissa Welker, OSU Extension Family and Consumer Sciences Educator, and Toni Schindler, Director of Marketing and Communications for Fulton County Commissioners. Events slated for 2014 include an Onsite Wellness Coach who will be available to meet with employees in one-on-one sessions to encourage healthy lifestyle choices. There will be quarterly Lunch and Learn Sessions highlighting Onsite Coaching, DermaScan, Local Foods and Healthy Holiday Eating. The committee is also working on implementing facility walking routes at different county building sites and will work with Geographical Information Systems to design user friendly maps. They will also be designing stairway signage that will encourage stair use. The yearly biometric and body fat composition screenings will be available again in late 2014.

BROWN DRAIN CLEANING

MONTPELIER, OH 419-212-4756
Brown Drain Cleaning is owned and operated by Mark Brown. Most service is scheduled Monday through Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., with other times available that may be more convenient to your schedule. Emergency service is also available. If your drains are slow or stopped up, Brown Drain Cleaning can get them going again. Chemicals are not recommended or used as we have power augers to use on drains from 1-1/2 inches up to main sewer lines. This is both safer and more effective as most chemicals lose potency the further they travel through the drain. Buying a house? It may be wise to have Brown Drain Cleaning auger the sewer and drain lines before you get settled in to insure against backups and check the condistion of your system. Having the sewer system cleaned early is a cost effective way to avoid unpleasant surprises. Brown Drain Cleaning does only drain cleaning, and with our 30 years experience, you can be assured of expert, professional service. Brown Drain Cleaning serves Northwest Ohio, Northeast Indiana, Hillsdale County Michigan, and beyond. Rates are reasonable and the work is guaranteed! Call Mark at 419-212-4756.

Edon High School Choir Performs In Cleveland
Edon High School Choir Performs With Toledo Symphony
SPECIAL CELEBRATION On Sunday, April 6, 2014, the Edon High School Choir performed Beethovens 9th Symphony with the Toledo Symphony and one-thousand-member choir. This Ode to Joy concert was a 70th Anniversary celebration of the Toledo Symphony and the first event of this scale ever in their history. Held at the Huntington Center in Toledo, the concert had an audience of over three thousand people. Beethovens 9th Symphony was the first symphony ever to include a chorus part in it. The text is in German and is based off a famous German poem by Friedrich Schiller. The well-known melody of Ode to Joy comes from this symphony.

Edon High School Juniors & Seniors Enjoy Prom 2014

By: Lucinda Held-Faulhaber THE VILLAGE REPORTER After months of planning every imaginable detail, the social event of the school year came to fruition when the Class of 2015 hosted the annual Edon High School Junior ~ Senior Prom on Saturday evening, May 3, 2014. Young women in dazzling gowns and young men in dapper tuxedos ~ each complimented with broad smiles of excitement and anticipation ~ began arriving early for the start of the time-honored Promenade through the beautifully decorated high school gymnasium. Promptly at 6:00 p.m., EHS juniors, seniors and guests strolled under the Sea of Love Masquerade moonlight pausing briefly for family and friends to capture the moment as they made way to the traditional sit-down dinner. There, midst a lovely blue and white themed masquerade ball complete with masks visitors to the Sea of Love dined on tossed salad, Teriyaki grilled chicken, buttered corn, creamy scalloped potatoes, beverages and assorted cookies (prepared by Grants Catering of Antwerp) until sounds from Music Pro filled the auditeria with top musical selections, beckoning everyone onto the dance floor. For nearly three hours, lively, spirited teens danced and socialized, taking time to welcome the departure from the end-of-the-year rush of activities leading up to next months graduation. Highlighting the dance for the sixth year was the much anticipated Prom King and Queen and Prom Prince and Princess coronation. Accompanied by roaring applause and wild shouts of approval, Junior Class Advisor Katie Rummel announced the 2014 royals ~ Heath Brown and Cassidy Wilson were selected by juniors as Prom Prince and Princess; seniors crowned Connor Hug and Cassi Trausch Prom King and Queen. Upon receiving their tiaras, crowns and sashes, each couple took to the floor for the customary spotlight dance. After a thrilling night at the Sea of Love Masquerade, everyone changed into trendy post-prom attire, arriving back at school before the stroke of midnight, energized and raring to go. Hosted by junior parents, Post Prom 2014 featured bowling at Bryan Lanes ~ and plenty of snacks and beverages for everyone to enjoy throughout the fun-filled affair. While sea waves subsided and the masquerade drew to a close, everyone gathered one last time for Edon juniors and seniors to receive gift bags filled with food, fuel and gift cards to area businesses ~ all valued at eighty-five dollars apiece. Additionally, four-hundred dollar cash prizes were given away to one EHS senior and junior boy and girl; lucky winners were J.P. Michael Hayes and Nicole Newell ~ Class of 2015 and Allysia Fikel and Trevor Green ~ Class of 2014. Individual and business donations, along with several fund raisers sponsored by the Junior Class Parents Post-Prom Committee, helped subsidize this years activities and prizes. While three oclock in the morning may have signaled the end of another amazing Junior ~ Senior Prom at Edon High School, fond memories of Sea of Love Masquerade will truly be cherished by these young men and women for a lifetime to come.

Special Fishing Regulations For Lake La Su An Have Been Set

Fisheries biologists have set the special fishing regulations for this year at Lake La Su An Wildlife Area, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Division of Wildlife. Anglers are reminded that they are no longer required to make reservations, or obtain special fishing permits in order to fish the lakes on the La Su An Wildlife Area. In addition, anglers are not required to check in or out at the fish check station. All lakes on the area will be open to fishing, however; the number of days that anglers can fish the lakes will be restricted. From May 2 through Sept. 29 the lakes will be open to fishing 4 days a week: Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The La Su An Wildlife area will be closed to fishing at all other times. All lakes will be open from sunrise to sunset during designated fishing days. Sunfish bag limits for 2014, will be 25 fish daily, with no more than 5 fish being 8 inches or larger. Largemouth bass will have an 18 inch minimum length limit, with a 5 fish daily bag limit and channel catfish will have a 2 fish daily bag limit. All bag limits are in effect area wide. This means that only 1 bag limit will be allowed each day regardless of how many lakes an angler fishes. All statewide fishing regulations apply to the area lakes except when superseded by the special regulations mentioned above. Anglers are also reminded that no fish may be used as bait on the area. These changes have been designed to continue the tradition of quality bluegill fishing on the La Su An area lakes by continuing to regulate the amount of fishing pressure without the need for anglers to obtain a reservation. Parking will only be allowed in designated areas. For more information about fishing at Lake La Su An, visit the Division of Wildlifes webpage at: wildohio.com under the Public Hunting, Fishing & Wildlife Viewing Areas tab. Select Lake La Su An on the Lake and Reservoir Maps page. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources ensures a balance between wise use and protection of our natural resources for the benefit of all.

With Unemployment rates continuing to fall across Counties and the State, some readers have formed their own opinions and shared last week online. It is encouraging to see manufacturing positions advertised in local newspapers. Jobs yes, but are they with full time benefits? Or is that becoming something of the last decade? Im all for part time work as long as it doesnt mean multiple part time jobs to stay afloat for the long term. Just my opinion. -Rose Its bologna. Quite easy to adjust the formula to reduce unemployment. They just stop counting a person as unemployed after 6 months. Those numbers are pure B.S. Our Govt is totally corrupt. -Richard Dont believe it! The government took away the extension which left tons of people still without a job but off of the unemployment benefits. Makes it look real good on paper but more people are struggling than any one realizes. The government sugar coats so much and people are falling for it. Our country is in a sad state. -Myrna Also consider that the average jobs that are slowly coming back do not pay nearly as much as the average job that was lost previously. Between people dropping out of the workforce and average wages decreasing, things are still pretty bleak. -Jason One thing to keep in mind is that there are several people who were dropped off the list because they still dont have a job and their benefits ended. These figures do not include those whose benefits have ended. -Steven

One of Alexs comrades was wounded in a minefield and Alex volunteered to go rescue him. On his way back, with his comrade, Alex stepped on a land mine and both were killed. This award is presented in his honor to those who show the highest dedication to the ideals and standards of a JROTC cadet. Cole Brown was then awarded a Superior Cadet award for being in the top ten percent of his JROTC class and

Stryker Rotary Members Enjoy Special Stryker Rotarian Helping To Provide Learning Materials To Children Display Thanks To Local Woodcarver
When Mel Honig retired he knew he wanted to do something meaningful with his time. He had ran successful businesses and wanted to put his many talents to good use. As a District 6600 Rotarian, Mel became involved with Resource Centers International, a MASA project assisting to provide learning resources to underprivileged people outside the United States. Mel was involved with the work in Belize and Jamaica, providing donated items such as books and computers to children. Mel has seen first hand the difference some of these resources
make in the lives of children. He also understands that the largest impact is made with children at a very young age. Many of the children served by this program will begin the learning process at 3 to 5 years of age. He has also learned that family support is very important, so the schools often involve the parents in the learning process of the children. Children naturally love to learn and thrive in the proper environment. Mel on the left is pictured with Stryker Rotary President Ruth Wieland and Rotarian Rev. Dane Meuschke.

Vic Dunlap has been carving wooden figures for 35 years. He spoke as a guest of Ray Brown at the Stryker Rotary Meeting on Tuesday. Vic brought an extensive display of his work as well as pictures of other items he has made over the years. Vic said he begins by tracing a figure on two sides of a block of wood. Using either a scroll saw or a band saw he cuts along the figure traced on the block. Further work is done with either a knife or a power tool called a dremmel. Vic has competed in carving shows
around the area and earned awards for his work. He enjoys carving animals, as well as people. Working on animals requires study to insure the anatomy is correct. The research can be extensive because most documented pictures of animals are from the face side, and a carving requires study of all sides. Vic has also carved Christmas ornaments for his children each of the last 23 years. Vic Dunlap, pictured on the left, and Ray Brown are pictured in front of a table displaying some of Vics work.

Prom Night In Stryker, Ohio: One Village, One Town, & Seven Cities In One Night
By: Timothy Kays THE VILLAGE REPORTER Post-Prom activities were about to commence in the school. The doors of the Stryker School were transformed into a portal in which attendees crossed the portal and passed from Stryker, Ohio, straight into Paris. As the yellow brick road transported Dorothy and her entourage to the Kingdom of Oz, so did the cobblestone path just inside the doorway at the school. Beginning on a side street in old La Ville-Lumire and proceeding past the check-in point to the Caf de Pari in the Commons where one could step up to the microphone for karaoke, the cobblestone path was the magic carpet that carried away the attendees to A Night in the City...and not just one city. One could depart Paris with a short walk which led to Las Vegas, complete with Texas holdem, blackjack and roulette tables. Retracing their steps through the Caf and across the way on the other side of the path, attendees could immediately find themselves in a dance competition in New Orleans. Half of the western world awaited within fifteen seconds of check-in... There was so much more to follow for those who followed the cobblestone path. Hollywood awaited beyond Vegas, where the photo booth was ready to get your good side. A turn to the left found attendees chilling out with slushees and movies in Honolulu. Further down was the sports City of Champions, Detroit, complete with tests of baseball hitting skills, football throwing ability, and basketball three-point shooting prowess. The final stop took the attendees to the City That Never Sleeps...New York. Steeping through the portal put the traveler into a trendy New York night club. Dancing was of course the standard, but New York also offered shirt, face and arm painting. Before departing the Big Apple, attendees signed a graffiti wall. This was quite the event for those in attendance at the 2014 Stryker Prom and Post-Prom. After all, it isnt everybody that can leave a village, drive to a neighboring town, then hit seven major cities in Europe and America... all before the first light of the dawn on the following day. Timothy Kays can be reached at tim@thevillagereporter.com.
The Defiance Room of the NWOESC/ NWOCA building in Archbold is not only spacious, but it has a flair of the Gilded Age to it as well. One has difficulties seeing the decor when the lights are turned down though, especially when the center of the room has been transformed into a dance floor whose lighting commands attention. This was just the tip of the iceberg of what awaited those in attendance as they walked the Red Carpet into the 2014 Stryker High School Prom on the evening of May 3. After socializing, the attendees feasted on a sumptuous buffet style banquet featuring prime rib, along with Fettuccini Alfredo with charbroiled chicken. Rounding out the feast was corn, green beans, mashed potatoes and gravy, and tossed salads. Of course an occasion such as this demanded an ambrosia worthy of the event, and it was available in abundance. Huge strawberries and other dippables, all stationed next to a decadent chocolate fountain, the mere aroma of which could stop even an amateur chocoholic dead in their tracks. After the meal, an evening of dancing under the fog-illuminated lasers made for an exceptional night. Highlighting this portion of the evening was the naming and coronations of the 2014 Stryker Prom King and Queen...Zach Greutman and his date, Ruthann Stuckey. The newly crowned King and Queen reigned over the festivities until they wound down with the approach of the 11:00 hour. The venue then changed from Archbold back to Stryker, where the

Wauseon High Hosts A Party At Gatsbys As The 2014 Prom Is A Success

By: Mitch Peebles THE VILLAGE REPORTER their classmates and friends fancied up in their tuxedo and prom dresses. The party then moves to the high school, where family, friends, and community members gathered outside the school to watch the students walk down the red carpet and in to the prom. Prom attendees came in all sorts of vehicles, ranging from classic 1950s era cars, modern day muscle cars, an ice cream truck, and one group of young men even were hauled in with an outhouse. As they walked down the path in to the school, the students had their names announced by Wauseon High School attendance secretary Becky Wagner, and were welcomed with a round of applause. After getting the red carpet treatment, next the students moved inside the gym, where the seniors were treated with their first glimpse of the gym that the juniors had decorated for them. Hors doeuvres were served around a stunning ice sculpture. The junior class officers made their way to the stage to first welcome their guest, and then to wish their fellow classmates a safe, fun, and memorable night. The officers then announced the 2014 Prom Queen and Kings as voted on by the student body, and that honor went to Queen Stephanie Whitman and King Axel Bueter. The Queens court was made up of Morgan Murry, McKenzie Seif, and Alexia Morena, while the Kings court consisted of Ty Suntken and Alec Lillich. Now that the business was taken care of, the attention of the guests turned to the meal! Prom-goers were treated to chicken alfredo, roasted potatoes, cupcakes, cheesecake, and much more. Once the meal had been eaten, it was time to dance. The students moved to the back gym were DJ Nune Molina was ready to entertain the night away. The Wauseon High school juniors and seniors, along with their dates celebrated with each other, noting the end of another successful school year coming to a close, sending the seniors out on a high note. After the music stopped and the lights went out in the high school, it was time to move over to the middle
WAUSEON--- It was a night filled with glitz and glamor, and it was one that surpassed all expectations as the 2014 Wauseon junior/senior prom took place. The theme for the night was Party At Gatsbys , based on the F. Scott Fitzgerald classic 1925 novel and the recently released movie, The Great Gatsby. The big day started early in the morning, with volunteers coming to the high school around 9 a.m. to start cutting potatoes, frosting cupcakes, and getting other foods ready to cook. The finishing touches were made to the decorations, making sure everything was perfect for the night to come. The meal and dance part of the prom took place in the high schools gym but you wouldnt have been able to tell it was a basketball gym if you didnt know it. The junior class did an excellent job preparing, designing, and building what turned out to be one of the best prom elaborations in recent memory according to many in attendance. The gym was decorated with black and gold. The bleachers were covered with wooden panels that had been painted to look like a scene straight from the movie. A drop ceiling was put over the entire room to make for a much more intimate scene. The stage was back-dropped by several golden pillars, with a pair of eyes looking over the room, a motif that comes from the movie and book. One of the great Wauseon prom traditions is pictures at South Park before the prom begins. Dozens and dozens of prom-goers come to the park to get their pictures taken at the gazebo and to get a sneak peak of
school for the after-prom festivities. There were games, prizes, and even a hypnotist show. However, the party didnt stop their as then the attendees moved out to Skye Cinema in Wauseon where they were treated to their choice of movies, and where some were treated to much needed naps. In the end, the night was a successful one, and will be remembered by all who came for the rest of the lives. It was a night filled with dancing, singing, celebrating, and was without a doubt a fitting send off for the class of 2014. Mitch Peebles may be reached at publisher@thevillagereporter.com.

ADAMhs Board Awards $4.7 Million In Contracts Starting July 1 Building Permit & Development
Requirements For 2014
As all of us look forward to warmer weather, many remodeling and construction projects are being planned. In order to clarify the building permit process, we kindly submit the following information for public reference: 1) Ohio Revised Code 5713.17 states that written notice shall be given to the county auditor by any person making structural improvements to their property or buildings costing more than $2,000. The county auditor is authorized to appraise any building or improvement that is discovered and was not previously notified of construction by the owner. The auditor will place the new valuation upon the tax list and duplicate at its taxable value for all the years from the date of completion to the date of discovery, together with a penalty equal to fifty percent (50%) of the taxes that would have been collected had the county auditor been notified of its construction as required. 2) In Williams County, a building permit is required for all new construction including renovation of existing structures, regardless of value, as established by resolution of the Williams County Commissioners. Persons living within a city or village of Williams County must obtain their building permits through their city or village office (except for Blakeslee and Holiday City). Persons living outside of a municipality, plus the villages of Blakeslee and Holiday City, will be required to obtain a county building permit from the Auditors office, located on the second floor of the courthouse. (Office hours are 8:30 a.m. through 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday). 3) The cost of building permits obtained from a city or village office may vary. The cost of a county building permit obtained at the Auditors office is $25 if the construction value is $2,000 or more. There is no fee for the county building permit if the construction value is under $2,000, however the building permit is still required. A penalty of $100 may be assessed, along with the permit fee, for any permit not obtained before the start of construction. These fees and penalties may be added to the real estate taxes of those who fail to acquire a building permit. A BUILDING PERMIT AND A
ZONING PERMIT ARE TWO ENTIRELY DIFFERENT DOCUMENTS WITH SEPARATE PURPOSES. Center, Pulaski, and Springfield Townships are zoned townships. Residents of Center Township must obtain a zoning permit, prior to construction, from the township zoning inspector (phone 419-636-5522). The Center Township zoning permit must be presented when applying for the county building permit. Residents of Springfield Township must obtain a zoning permit, prior to construction, from Springfield Township zoning inspector, Phil Short (phone 419682-6421).

With a new fiscal year starting in less than three months, the Four County ADAMhs Board awarded nearly $4.7 million in contracts for a variety of mental health, addiction and related healthcare services. The largest contracts were awarded to Maumee Valley Guidance Center, $1,550,000, and Recovery Services of Northwest Ohio, $1,200,000. Also receiving contracts at the April board meeting were Four County Family Center, $528,232; the Fulton County Health Center (Stress Unit), $400,000; First Call for Help, Inc., $315,000; New Home Development Company, $262,000; Health Partners of Western Ohio, $231,000; the Center for Child and Family Advocacy, $126,511; and Northwest Ohio Community Action Commission (The P.A.T.H. Center), $65,000. Several smaller contracts were also approved for the 2014-15 fiscal year. Those include Glenn Adult Foster Care in Toledo, $11,800; Unison Behavioral Health, $3,600; and attorney Carla Davis for representation at commitment hearings at the rate of $110 per hour. Additional contracts for next year will be brought to the board for approval in May and June. The board approved the following appropriations for the current fiscal year: Williams County Department of Job and Family Services, up to $26,000 as the boards share of a residential placement; Maumee Valley Guidance Center, $7,600 for a group home placement; First Call for Help, $5,000 for emergency transportation
costs; Defiance County Health Department, $600 for the Parents Who Host Lose the Most underage drinking awareness campaign; and the Fulton County Health Department, $1,000 for a consultant to review the countys submission of a DrugFree Communities grant renewal. In his report to the board, CEO Les McCaslin said that mid-year budget correction bill has passed the Ohio House of Representatives and is now headed to the state senate. He noted that two items will affect behavioral health, although it is not entirely clear how the impact will be felt at this time. First, the state is seeking to keep $47.5 million in funding next year that had been allocated directly to boards this year to meet local needs. The state intends to target this money on opiate addiction. This would mean a reduction of $340,000 in state funding to the Four County ADAMhs Board next year unless it is changed in the senate. The budget also proposes that the state create 90 additional mental health crisis beds at six different locations across Ohio for the boards to use. If approved, a total of 540 additional mental health crisis beds would be created and more than 400 recovery beds would be created for opiaterelated addiction. The next meeting of the board will be held at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, May 14 at the ADAMhs Board office on State Route 66 south of Archbold.
The Ohio Gas Company Celebrating 100 Years Of Service

Ohio Gas Company will celebrate its 100th anniversary on May 14, 2014. The company was first chartered as the Ohio Gas Light and Coke Company in 1914 for the purpose of delivering manufactured gas to several communities in Fulton, Henry and Williams Counties. The natural gas was produced through a process of burning coal with coke as a bi-product which was sold to steel mills. The coal gas had a BTU value of 400 to 500 per cubic foot. In the late 1930s, natural gas was first transported to Northwest Ohio from the gas fields of Texas and Oklahoma. At this time, natural gas became available at 1,000 BTU per cubic foot and coal gas was phased out. Ownership changed in 1945 and the company became Ohio Gas Company and post war growth took hold. Today, Ohio Gas Company serves nearly 50,000 customers in six counties of Northwest Ohio and employs 80 people. Ohio Gas Companys Eastern and Western Districts provide 24 hour emergency service. Ohio Gas Company is proud of its heritage and wishes to thank their loyal employees and customers.

Tips For Dining Out On Mothers Day

Mothers Day is right around the corner and this special holiday serves to honor all those women who devote so much time and effort to their families. While gifts and other trinkets are certainly part of the celebration, a vast majority of children opt to treat Mom to a night out on the town come Mothers Day. Not only does this give mom a night off from cooking, but also it presents an opportunity to get dressed up and spend time together as a family. A vast number of families travel to their favorite restaurants for Mothers Day meals. Mothers Day is one of the busiest holidays of the year for restaurants. The National Retail Federation says 54.8 percent of Americans treat their mothers to a special meal out on Mothers Day. Billions of dollars are generated by people eating out with their mothers. With large crowds to be expected, diners can follow a few tips when treating Mom to a meal. Book early ... very early. To guarantee a reservation at any restaurant, namely your favorite restaurant, you will need to make a reservation well in advance of Mothers Day. Its never too early to put your name on the reservation list. Dont forget Mothers Day is Sunday, May 11, 2014. Expect to wait. Even with a reservation, youre bound to spend some time waiting at the restaurant. Other families may be lingering at their tables, as no one wants to rush Mom out of the door. Plan accordingly for a potentially long wait time. This means having a snack before you leave. Dont arrive famished, as no one wants the dining party to be hungry and cranky, which is not a good way to celebrate Mom. Have plenty of snacks and drinks on hand for young children, as well as activities to keep them entertained. Consider dining out a day before or after. Restaurants are generally packed on Mothers Day, and as a result

TAKING MOM OUT TO EAT ... Sometimes eating in public with small children can be stressful, plan ahead to make moms day special. kitchen and wait staffs might be overtaxed. Whats more, diners might be relegated to a special or abbreviated menu. If you want a more relaxed setting and the ability to order whatever you desire, it may be a better idea to celebrate Mothers Day in advance. Then have Mom enjoy a relaxing day at home on her special day. Take-out is an option. Families can treat Mom to a dinner out, without really having to go out. Many restaurants offer takeout service, so you will not be limited to pizza or Chinese. Even chain restaurants have curb side service, so if Mom is in the mood for a burger or something more elaborate, shell have that option. Expect an included gratuity. Restaurants often include a gratuity in the bill when servicing larger parties, such as those that might be celebrating Mothers Day. The standard gratuity rate is 18 percent, but you may want to go above and beyond if you feel the service is exemplary. Hire a sitter for young kids. Although Mothers Day is a chance for the entire family to spend time together, the main goal is to ensure Moms comfort and happiness. If very young children are in tow, she may not be able to relax and enjoy her meal. Infants will need to be fed, and toddlers may be easily distracted. Have a sitter watch little ones when adults are dining out, and then Mom can enjoy time with the kids when she returns home for more celebrating.

Juggling A Career & New Motherhood

The role women play in society and within their own households has changed dramatically over the last half-century. According to Pew Research Center analysis of the Decennial Census and American Community Surveys Integrated Public Use Microdata Sample files, in 1960 just 10.8 percent of married mothers were the primary earners in households that included children under the age of 18. That figure rose steadily over the next 50 years, reaching 40.4 percent by 2011. Though the steady rise in those percentages makes the 2011 figure less than surprising, the fact remains that todays working mothers have more on their plate than ever before and are under more pressure to juggle those responsibilities than their predecessors. Juggling a career and motherhood is difficult for any woman, but the transition to wearing two hats can prove an especially difficult adjustment for new mothers. The following are a handful of tips for new mothers about to embark on the challenging task of juggling a career and a growing family. Carefully consider career decisions. Some new mothers respond to motherhood by making changes with regard to their careers. While adjustments will almost certainly need to be made, its important that women avoid knee-jerk reactions. Some women feel guilty about not spending enough time with their children and ultimately allow that guilt to govern their decisions about their careers. But women who dont give ample consideration to such decisions may grow to regret them when they find they miss their old jobs and the responsibilities and sense of purpose that comes with those jobs. When making career decisions as new motherhood is approaching or after it arrives, make a list of the pros and cons to each decision and the motives behind each decision you might make. The more thoughtfully you approach each decision, the happier youre likely to be with that decision once its been made. Avoid going overboard at the office. Working mothers are often driven to show their employers that new motherhood will not affect their on-thejob performance. In their haste to prove motherhood wont prove a distraction, new mothers may take on more they can chew. Recognize that being a working mother does require an adjustment period, especially in the immediate weeks and months after maternity leave has ended and your body has yet to adjust to its new schedule. Accept help when its offered and recognize that good employers understand the adjustments you will need to make in the immediate aftermath of a pregnancy. Look for ways to reduce your workload at home. Juggling a career and new motherhood wont just have an impact at the office. Part of making a successful transition from working professional to working mother is recognizing that adjustments need to be made at home as well. Both new parents are in the same boat, but mothers are the ones who spend the first three months at home with their new child, and during those three months new mothers typically develop a certain rapport with their new babies that new fathers do not. Babies may prove more comfortable being fed or rocked to sleep by mom instead of dad. In such instances, look for ways to reduce your workload at home, whether thats sharing cooking duties or other chores around

Saving Tips For Single Moms

Life as a single mother is not easy. In addition to the challenge of raising a child without another parent in the household, single mothers face many of the same challenges faced by married parents, only they must do so on just one income. Stress is a reality for many single parents, and much of that stress can be traced to the financial burdens of single parenthood. Single parents often find themselves looking for ways to save money, and the following are a handful of ways to do just that. Resist the urge to overextend your budget. Many expenses, such as groceries and housing, are necessities. But single parents know there is also tremendous presSunday, May 11, 2014 sure to spend money on things that have nothing to do with need. Explain your financial situation to your kids. Keeping kids in the dark about your finances may lead to trouble or create undue stress. Single mothers who explain the idea of a budget and define that budget for their kids will likely find their kids are willing to cooperate and make good partners with regard to staying within the budget. Pay bills on time. Allowing bills to go unpaid or routinely paying them late is only adding stress to a situation that, for many single mothers, is already stressful enough. Interest payments and penalties for paying late can quickly add up and turn a significant but manageable bill into an albatross that can loom over your finances for months if not years. If your credit card bills have already spiraled out of control, consult the credit card company to see if you can work out a payment plan in which interest will stop accruing so long as you continue to make agreed-upon monthly payments. Companies may be willing to work with you, and such a payment plan is less likely to have a negative impact on your long-term credit, something that cannot be said for declaring bankruptcy. Trim entertainment costs. Another way for single mothers to save money is to trim the amount of money they spend each month on entertainment. Cable television has become increasingly expensive in recent years, but single mothers have alternatives that can be considerably less expensive. In lieu of paying for cable television, TREAT MOM TO BREAKFAST IN BED ... Breakfast in bed is made even better single mothers can subscribe to a streaming service, such with a beautiful presentation that helps anyone feel pampered on a special as Netflix or Hulu Plus, that charges a fraction of what cable companies charge but still offers a substantial amount occasion. of current content. ideal fit for breakfast in bed. No one wants to spill food onto pillows or go to bed the next evening to find a pile of crumbs beneath the sheets. Finger foods or bite-sized items that can be popped into the mouth will not make much of a mess. Crepes may be a nice alternative to messier muffins. Serve coffee or tea in a cup with a lid to help prevent spills. Invest in a food tray to make serving breakfast in bed that much easier. A bedside table or nightstand also can fit the bill. Add small details to make the breakfast even more special. Use heart- or flower-shaped cookie cutters to add whimsy to everything from pancakes to fruit. A hand-written card or poem is another nice touch. Breakfast in bed is a special treat for any family member. Employing a few strategies for success can make it that much more special.
Breakfast In Bed For Special Occasions

Few gestures of affection create such a stir as presenting a loved one with breakfast in bed. On special occasions, treating a loved one to breakfast in bed can get their big day off on the right foot. The success of such an endeavor often boils down to following a few tips. The surprise of breakfast in bed is almost as important as the presentation. Make sure everyone keeps the secret and rises early enough to prepare the meal. Time the meal so that it is ready when the person of honor typically awakes. Banging and clanking in the kitchen does not a relaxing morning make, so select an easily prepared dish to cut back on the noise. Storeor restaurant-bought foods can still make a nice impression if they are dressed up. Adult supervision is a must when young kids are cooking. This ensures everything goes safely and smoothly while still giving kids the chance to pitch in. Delegate some tasks to kids. A young child may be able to arrange flowers in a vase, while a slightly older child may be more adept at slicing toast or helping to flip pancakes. The breakfast should be a joint effort so that the person treated to breakfast knows everyone involved cared enough to pitch in. Choose easy-to-eat foods. Crumbly and messy foods are not the
Did You Know?

Many countries have passed laws that legally mandate paid leaves for mothers of newborns. While some might expect the United States to be among those countries, working mothers in the United States are actually not guaranteed paid leave. In fact, when Australia passed its own parental leave law mandating paid leave, the United States has been the only industrialized nation that does not guarantee paid leave for mothers of newborns. Russia allows mothers to take 140 days with 100 percent pay after their children are born. Brazil (100 days), France and Spain (112), Germany (98), and China (90) round out the top six, while Indonesia, India and Mexico mandate that new mothers receive 100 percent of their pay for 84 days after giving birth. Australia offers 126 days of paid leave at the federal minimum wage, while the United Kingdom offers 280 days of leave, the first six weeks of which are offered at full salary, while the remaining days are paid on a flat rate.
Enjoy A Successful Ladies Night Out

Women are busier today than ever before. The demands of work and the responsibilities of family life can dominate a womans time, making it increasingly difficult to find time to kick back and relax. As their careers take off and families grow, many women find it challenging to make time for social interactions, particularly with their female friends. But ladies night out is a great way to relieve stress and maintain social contacts. Making time to hang out with friends can be good for the body and mind. GIVE PLENTY OF NOTICE When planning a ladies night out, give several weeks worth of notice so more people can carve out time to attend. Begin plans for a get-together a month or more in advance, asking friends which dates work and which will not. Treat a night out with friends just like you would any important obligation.

How Men Can Pitch In During Pregnancy

The days of yore when men took a hands-off approach to pregnancy are largely a thing of the past. Though veteran fathers might know what to expect and how to help, a first-time father may know little about how he can help. The following are a handful of tips for expectant fathers who want to take an active role in their partners pregnancies. Accompany your partner on prenatal visits. Do your homework. Read up about pregnancy so you can better understand what your partner is going through. Attend classes with your partner. Clean the house. Pregnant women should avoid exposure to household cleaning products, including cleansers and insecticides. Reduce your partners stress. Stress is potentially harmful for anyone. Stress will only make the pregnancy more difficult and might prove harmful to mother and child alike. Alter your diet along with your partner. Your partner will likely be on a restricted diet during her pregnancy. Pregnancy can be an exciting and difficult time for expecting parents. Men can make things easier on their partners by taking steps to reassure them that the pregnancy is a team effort.

Celebrate Spring On The Farm At Sauder Village

The Farm Day events at Sauder Village offer families the opportunity to try hands-on activities, watch unique demonstrations, enjoy stories and special music to experience life on an Ohio farm more than 100 years ago. The first event in the series, Spring on the Farm, will be celebrated on Saturday, May 10 with activities including churning butter, making rope, stomping beans, gardening and much more! With baby animals, festive music and so many unique, hands-on experiences Spring on the Farm continues to be one of our most popular events for families to enjoy together, shared Kim Krieger, Public Relations. Our Farm Day series is a great way for families to experience how life on the farm changes with the seasons. We encourage families to join us this spring and then come back for Summer on the Farm on July 12 and Fall on the Farm on October 11. During Spring on the Farm guests can watch sheep shearing demonstrations and there will be new baby animals to visit in the historic barns. At Natives and Newcomers visitors will smell the smoke of the cooking fires as they step inside the wigwams and Trading Post and guests can try cordage making and bean stomping. In the historic homes guests can help wash dandelion greens, churn butter, grate horseradish and roll out a pie crust. There will also be gardening activities (weather permitting), rope making, rug beating and window washing. The oldfashioned spelldown in the District 16 School is another favorite activity for youth to enjoy. Throughout the day costumed guides in the historic homes will be preparing dried foods stored from the fall. Other special demonstrations will include making corn cob jelly, making turnip kraut and making home-made soap. Performances by special guest Bob Ford are also a traditional part of this family event. A folk musician from Cedarville, Ohio, Bob Ford has been a recognized performer in the Historic Village for many years. Bob brings history to life through songs and stories. Weather permitting he will perform on the Village Green throughout the day. We are always pleased to welcome Bob Ford back to Sauder Village, Krieger added. Bobs folk-song performances always bring smiles and laughter from the crowd. Historic Sauder Village is open Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 a.m.-3:30 p.m., Saturday from 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. and each Sunday afternoon from noon to 4:00 p.m. The Historic Village is closed on Mondays, except holidays. Admission is $16.00 for adults and $10.00 for students ages 6-16. Children 5 and under are always free with family and Sauder Village members receive free admission to the Historic Village for an entire year. And again this year, children 16 and under are free every Sunday this season! For more information about Spring on the Farm or other events planned for the 2014 season at Sauder Village, call 800-590-9755, visit www.saudervillage. org, like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter @ SauderVillage.

WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH ONE MINUTE?
I was reminded in preachintoday.com this week of the power of one minute A minute is a funny amount of time. Its long enough to notice, but its too short to do much of anything with. There are only about five hundred thousand of them in a year. But when you add all of humanity together, a lot starts to happen in that lowly minute. Consider what happens before the second hand of a clock completes one rotation: 25 Americans will get a passport, according to the U.S. Department of State. 58 airplanes will take off around the world, according to the International Air Traffic Association. 116 people will get married, according to data from the United Nations. 144 people will move to a new home, according to Gallup. 11,319 packages will be delivered by UPS. 243,000 photos will be uploaded to Facebook. 5,441,400 pounds of garbage will be created, according to the World Bank. 7,150,000,000 human hearts (according to the United States Census Bureau) will beat 500,500,000,000 times, according to the American Heart Association. With regard to the gift of time the scriptures remind us that God has set eternity in the hearts of menEcclesiastes 3:11 (NIV). What will you do today with one minute?

BY: REX STUMP - REPRESENT YOUR TEAM!
The L.A. Clippers were playing Charlotte and the game was just getting started. The score was tied and both teams were trying to establish themselves. And then Corey Maggette dribbles up the court and passes the ball to the other team. What? That seemed like the most ridiculous turnover, as it was clearly the wrong team. He was clearly wearing the wrong jersey! Why would you ever pass the ball to the other team? Didnt you recognize your teammate? Has that ever happened with you? Did you assume someone was on your team and you made an errant pass to them? Or have you ever assumed someone was against you, so you purposely ignored them, not realizing they were on your team? Is this a case of mistaken identity? In Acts 23:2-5 we read an interesting identity crisis story. Instantly Ananias the high priest commanded those close to Paul to slap him on the mouth. But Paul said to him, God will slap you, you corrupt hypocrite! What kind of judge are you to break the law yourself by ordering me struck like that? Those standing near Paul said to him, Do you dare to insult Gods high priest? Im sorry, brothers. I didnt realize he was the high priest, Paul replied. For preaching the truth about Jesus Christ, Paul was arrested and standing before the High Council. When Paul began to share his side of the story, Ananias the high priest ordered for someone to slap Paul on the mouth. It wasnt just a slap, the word means to strike or beat! Ananias assumed Paul was guilty, without a trial, and ordered a punishment. This was a violation of Jewish law and Paul knew it! So Paul replied that God would slap Ananias for being a corrupt leader! Paul didnt recognize that Ananias was the high priest, probably because he broke the law he was pledged to represent. When they told Paul that he offended the high priest, Paul apologized for his harsh words, even if the high priest deserved it. Im sure there is a great lesson in here about jumping to conclusions, holding your tongue, anger management, etc. But, consider thisdo your actions represent Jesus Christ? Would others recognize that you are a representative of Jesus Christ? As Christians, we represent Jesus Christ, Gods Son. We are His ambassadors. If someone we know says, I didnt know you were a Christian, we have failed to represent him as we should. We arent just followers of Jesus Christ, we are his representatives too! When people look at you, can they see that you are clearly on Gods team? People are always watching your life. Can they see Christ in you? How well are you doing at representing Him? Honor God today with your actions! As a believer in Jesus Christ, you wear his colors, you are on His team represent Him with honor. For more reading, check out Ephesians 4:1-2; Matthew 5:13-16, and I Peter 2:11-12.
