BETTER COMMUNITY SERVICE ... According to Fire Chief Sluder, Wauseon hopes
to have EMS services and operations up and running by early spring.
By: Shar Dimick
THE VILLAGE REPORTER
Wauseon City Council unanimously
approved the Finance Committees
recommendation
to
bring
EMS
operations in-house and took the first
steps to do so at the January 19 council
meeting.
Councilor Jon Schamp of the Finance
Committee said that they reviewed the
proposal to bring medical transportation
operations in-house, which would
include the purchase an ambulance
along with monitoring and resuscitation
equipment at an estimated cost of
$234,500 on January 8. Schamp said
that while the initial capital expenditure
to get the operations up and running is
high, there is also a potential revenue
stream.
In his report to the Finance
Committee, Fire Chief Rick Sluder
stated, If we transport with our own
ambulance, we get to bill the patient,
if we use the county ambulance, the
county gets to bill. There are 300-500
runs that the county doesnt take and if
we he had an ambulance we could have
taken the patients and billed for it.
Schamp said Once its up and
running within a twelve month period
of time we should be able to recoup the
entire capital expenditure. Therefore,
the Finance Committee saw no reason
not to give Chief Sluder the go ahead
to proceed with this proposal. Schamp
further explained that when projecting
the time to recoup the capital outlay he
took the high end on expenses and the
low end on revenue.
Three additional resolutions on
the agenda related to bringing EMS
operations in-house in the event the
council approved the recommendation
of the finance committee. That being the
case Council unanimously approved:

said.
Shredder
has
many
projects
currently in the works, including his
CD, playing guest solos for other people,
and doing clinics and demonstrations.
I was asked to go for the world
record for speed shredding this summer
in Nashville for Summer NAMM, he
explained.
A special guitar is being built for
him by JHL Custom Guitars; it will
be lightweight and have a twisted,
contoured neck for speed.
In addition, he will also debut a new
signature guitar, the Goliath 7, from
Colson Custom Guitars and demo a
guitar made out of Legos.
He is currently working with St.
Jude Childrens Hospital, and one
of the guitar companies, who also
endorses him, has built two guitars to
be auctioned for the project. He is in
the process of having other musician
friends autograph the guitars.
Shredder has been supported, in
his endeavors, by Megadeth, Saliva,
Foghat, Night Ranger, and many
others.
Im also working on a music video
with Rockers Against Bullying, said
Shredder.
Although Shredder does solo work,
his current band is Ratnip. They are a
power rock band taking on the style of
Journey or Foreigner.
Current
members
are:
from
Montpelier, Brian McKibben on drums;
from Stryker, Randy Alan as vocalist;
from Pioneer, Dave Perez on bass
guitar; and Shredder on lead guitar.
Ratnip is working on a show with
Foghat for the Veterans Memorial
fundraiser, writing original songs for
their upcoming CD, and will also be
performing in Nashville this summer.
When asked about his future,
Shredder said, Im 26 now and I see
myself being on stage the rest of my life.
My dream is to play with The TransSiberian Orchestra.
Influenced by every musician he
meets, in some form or another,
from local guys he jams with or great
legends, Shredder said, Everyone has
something to teach if you just take the
time to learn.
Its all about the music and
coming together to share it. It makes
no difference to me about age, color,
religion, or anything; music will bring
us all together, he explained.
Intent on saving a much loved music
venue, Ratnip will be playing a charity
event at The Historic Dawn Theater in
Hillsdale, MI on February 7.
My band and I are always willing to
help with charities, Shredder stated.
He feels the community needs to
stick together and support local bands.
Ratnip would be honored to play the
fair this year and have been asked why
they do not.
Lets show off some local talent
this year and some hometown pride,
Shredder added.
For more information about his
schedule or to book him or the band,
go to shredderpinstripe.com or visit
him on Facebook.

gymnasium was the site of the traditional
Homecoming dance, which was well attended. Although the dance has always
been intended to be entertaining for the
students attending, it appeared that Mr.
Molter and Mr. Ryan Eberly were having
just as much fun as the kidsand the kids
reciprocated the positive energy.
Kids and school officials having a great
time, at the same timein the same place.
It is not a movie script from the Hallmark
Channel, but it is indeed something that
outside of decades-old memories, is no
longer easily found. Such is not the case in
Eagle Country, however. The small-town
values that form the very foundation upon
which America was constructed are still
alive and well in Fayette, and Homecoming
Night there will always be a beacon that illuminates the true meaning of community.
