By: Pam Graber THE WAUSEON REPORTER State Senator Ran- dy Gardner stopped in Wauseon February 18 to offer a listening ear on any issues coming out of Columbus that have con- cerned Wauseon. Gardner stated that he is the new state senator for Wauseon and most of Fulton County. “I wanted a chance to meet you and begin a working re- lationship that will be posi- tive for Wauseon and for all of Fulton County,” Gardner said. He joked at the begin- ning of his talk that his first experience with Wauseon was “not all that positive. I played for Eastwood. Came to Wauseon. The only game of my high school career that I fouled out was against Wauseon in 1977,” Gardner said, “and I think you have a barber in town who was the star guard at that time. I believe he scored over 20 points against us and we lost by one point.” Several of the councilors offered to take him to Frederick’s to visit with Fred Richer, the 1977 star guard for Wauseon. All kidding aside, Gard- ner brought up House Bill 5, the municipal income tax reform bill. “This has been an issue that for the last year and a half has been discussed in Columbus,” Gardner said. “Usually the top ten bills, 1 thru 10, have a fairly high priority from the leadership. While I haven’t read this ver- sion – it changed from last year – I will say that I am absolutely opposed to any attempt by Columbus to collect your income tax or tell you how to do it. I just don’t have that much faith in Columbus, or Washing- ton to do that. I think those issues are best addressed at the local level. I’m pretty confident that will not hap- pen in the House or the Senate.” While Gardner was con- fident in saying the HB5 would not pass with leg- islation in it mandating state collection of munici- pal income tax, he did feel that there are components within it that could be good for municipalities. “More consistent application of income taxes around the state: I do think there is a small business aspect here that if we can get a bit more uniformity and more con- sistent definitions that we might be helpful to small business in terms of the myriad of forms that small business must fill out,” Gardner said. “I don’t know what the fate of that bill will be and I’m not pledging one way or the other until it goes through the legislative process.” Gardner asked city council if they’d had a chance to look it over and asked what they thought of it. Council President Karen Krumm said, “I do think it’s better but I’m not sure it’s ‘better enough.’ I can understand the desire of the administration to have some uniformity but I think it’s going to degrade our home rule powers. At this point, even the way it’s written in the revised ver- sion, I’m not looking very favorably at it.” City Financial Director Jon Schamp said he had read an email stating that the new house bill did not have the collection aspect in it. “That pleases all of us because, like you said, an outsider can’t collect it as accurately as we can. You can’t determine who a taxpayer is by zip code,” Schamp said. Gardner reiterated his opposition to any type of legislation that gives the state the authority to collect local income taxes. “There’s nothing they could do to legislation to encourage me to support something where the state gets additional, or any authority with respect to that,” Gardner said. “It’s not that I don’t think they can make the collection but when there’s a dispute or there’s a question from the taxpayer, they can come to Wauseon and have it looked at as opposed to try- ing to wrestle with the bu- reaucracy in Columbus.” Also present at Monday’s meeting were Jim Spiess and Nate Andre. Spiess presented Andre Tree Com- mission Booster Awards for both Nate and Paul Andre for their support of the ef- forts of the Wauseon Tree Commission. “This is a very rare opportunity,” Spiess said. “It isn’t often we get to pat somebody in the com- munity on the back for doing a wonderful job. To- night we’re going to pres- ent to both Paul and Nate , a small plaque that des- ignates them Booster of the Year. That is someone who helps the Tree Commission out in an immense way.” Nate Andre accepted the award for both himself and his brother, Paul. At the recommendation of the Personnel committee, Council approved the As- sistant Chief of Police Clas- sification Specification af- ter some discussion about the position. Council ques- tioned whether the Assis- tant Chief would be a road officer and Chief Keith Tor- bet stated, “We’re all road officers. He will have to fill a duty shift.” When asked if he saw a need to fill the vacancy left by promoting one of Wauseon’s officers to the post of Assistant Chief, Torbet stated, “At this time the budget won’t support adding another full-time officer. Looking down the road, maybe in 2015 or 2016 depending on how things go but I don’t see anything in the immediate future.” Council passed via emer- gency measures a resolu- tion authorizing a transfer of funds from the Revolving Loan Fund to complete the acquisition and demolition of the property located at 401 N.

Fulton County Legion Riders Elect 2013 Officers
The February 7 meeting of The American Legion Riders of Fulton County Ohio was held at the Delta Le-gion Post 373. There were 11 members present and a salute to the colors was given. The meeting began with old business; first discussed was that on January 31, 6 members of the Legion Riders attended the Archbold Post 311 and Sons of Post 311 meeting. Frank Grimes was presented with a certificate of appreciation for his time and generosity.
Also during the meeting with the Archbold Legion, they asked if The American Legion Riders were inter-ested in escorting a funeral procession in Archbold and Pettisville occasionally. Members Roger and Jane Thi-erry were chosen to look into the request. Also, Arch-bold Legion asked if The American Legion Riders would be in the 2013 Christmas Parade – The Riders plan to be there with their motorcycles up front escorting the colors with the other Veterans. They are also selling raffle tickets for Archbold Post 311 to help them raise funds for a special base for a flag display.
A check for sick call was made and Marv and Becky McIntosh are still on the road to recovery from a mo-torcycle accident in July.
As to new business, Officers were elected for the 2013 year for the Legion Riders o Fulton County Ohio. They were: Commander – Kendall Roth “Doc”; Vice Commander – Marvin McIntosh “Mac”; Sgt at Arms – Gary Leu “Gomer”; Trustees – Bob Cain, Tim Fraker, and Roger Thierry; Road Captain – Rick Gamber, Co-Road Captain – Tim Stiner, Treasurer – Becky McIn-tosh, and Secretary – Lynn Gamber.
Also, Delta Legion Post 373 needed help with their Reverse Raffle on Saturday, February 9. Seven Legion Rider members ended up making the trip to help them out. The Legion Riders donated also two American Flags that evening along with several pieces of mem-orabilia featuring the Legion Riders Logo. There was also a discussion about safety during group rides and it was decided that when riding in a group, hand sig-nals are to be utilized more often for the group’s safety.
The upcoming District meeting in Napoleon was also discussed. It is to be held on February 16 at 1:00 p.m. at the Napoleon Legion. That marked the end of the February 7 meeting of the American Legion Riders of Fulton County Ohio so the meeting proceeded to be closed by a salute to the colors.
The American Legion Riders of Fulton County Ohio are always looking for new members. If you’re inter-ested, contact Commander “Doc” Kendall Roth at (419) 583-0130, or Vice Commander “Mac” Marvin McIntosh at (419) 250-3954.

The Wauseon Chamber of Commerce conducted an extensive review of their operations, mission, goals and finances. Their Execu-tive Committee reviewed over twenty resumes to fill the position of Executive Director that had been va-cant since early October 2012. In the intervening period Neil Toeppe, who has led the Swanton Chamber for the past 10 years, filled in as Interim Executive Di-rector. After considering the future direction, budget and needs of the chamber the Chamber Board has asked Mr. Toeppe to con-tinue on a permanent basis as their Executive Director.
Mr. Toeppe will con-tinue to lead the Swanton Chamber and will assume the additional Wauseon duties. Neil will gener-ally be in the Swanton Of-fice in the mornings and in the Wauseon Office in the afternoons. However his schedule will, of necessity, need to be flexible enough to meet the needs of each community.
In addition to his cham-
ber responsibilities Mr. To-eppe is also the Vice Presi-dent of the Fulton County Community Improvement Corporation where he has been a member since 2003 and he serves on the North-west State Community College Business Manage-ment Advisory Committee and on Congressman Bob Latta’s Economic Advisory Group. He serves on ad-ditional community boards and committees and brings a breadth and depth of ex-perience to the Wauseon Chamber of Commerce.
The Wauseon Chamber Board of Directors invites you to join them in welcom-ing Neil to our community.

Fulton County Soil & Water Offers Habitats For BirdsSpring will soon be here, so you should check and
clean your wildlife houses. It is extremely important to clean out any nest debris left over from last year’s residents. Birds like to start new each year and rebuild their nests. Now is the time of year to install new hous-es for the birds returning from the South. New houses should be mounted by the middle of March so that any early arrivals will have your houses to choose from.
The Fulton Soil and Water Conservation District is offering for sale fully assembled houses for blue birds, house wrens, wood ducks, squirrels, bats, and more. These houses are sold at a low cost to promote wildlife in our county and to provide natural insect control. Birds and bats are a natural alternative to spraying chemi-cals. The houses are available in a variety of styles and types of wood. They are designed for easy cleaning after the nesting season is over. Included with each house is a set of instructions detailing the mounting and the care of each one. If you are a carpenter and would like to build your own wildlife nest box or feeder, we offer the building plans to these wildlife houses and feeders free of charge.
Also available for sale is a variety of bird, bat, and squirrel feeders. The bird feeders are made of high qual-ity cedar with flip-up lids for easy cleaning. Colorful booklets describing specific birds, bats, and butterflies are also for sale.
Stop in at the Fulton Soil and Water Conservation District at 8770 State Route 108, Suite B, Wauseon, across from the fairgrounds, to see all of these items on display. You can also see what the Fulton SWCD has to offer for sale at their website at http://swcd.fulton-countyoh.com. Click on the link “District Services” and “Items for Sale”.

Alexys Fisher, an eighth grader at Wauseon Middle School, has been selected and will attend this year’s National Youth Leaders State Conference in Columbus, Ohio. This is a leadership development
program that is being held in 30 cities across the U.S. – this year’s theme, Courageous Leadership. The four-day program is designed to help students build a working “toolkit” to help them dream, cre-ate, and implement plans that will change how they view their role as a leader in their communities.
Alexys was nominated for inclusion in this event by her math teacher, Mrs. Nofziger. In addition to this most recent activity, Alexys is a very active stu-dent both in school and out. She has played vol-leyball for two years, been diving for three years, been in the Wauseon Mid-dle School Musical for the past two years, and active in her Crossroads Youth
Group for five years.Alexys shares her ex-
citement for this upcom-ing event with her mother, Courtney Fisher, step-father, Jeremie Fisher, and her three siblings: Jocelynne, Addison, and Gavin, all of whom are very happy for her.
“The steps each per-son takes in discovering his or her own leadership strengths can be a very personal process,” said Marguerite Regan, Ph.D., Dean of Academic Affairs for the Congressional Youth Leadership Coun-cil, the organization which sponsors NYLSC. “The National Youth Leaders State Conference will help students get at the heart of their innate talents and skills and will also help them to identify how they can best serve their com-munities.”
NYLSC attendees are challenged to step forward in a manner that is deci-sive and confident accord-ing to program sources. They are asked to grasp the concept of leadership that will be taught and to act upon their dreams of making a difference in the world while maintaining the courage of their con-victions. These definitely seem to be worthwhile skills to acquire, and Alexys definitely deserves to be congratulated for all of her hard work that has earned her such an invita-tion. So, congratulations Alexys, and enjoy the ex-perience.
Have you seen the TV commercial from AT&T about which is better – “faster or slower?” Beck Bennett sits with children and asks them whether faster or slower is better. The kids all agree faster is better, but what’s fast? It’s funny listening to the children, especially the boy describing his grandma with a cheetah strapped to her back to make her faster. Let me ask you a question, which is better, “walking or running?”
According to ABC News, it was report-ed that the amount of calories burned standing and walking over the course of a day is superior to an hour of intense exer-cise, as well in improving cholesterol and preventing diabetes. The report states that, “Danish researchers followed 18 young people ages 19 to 24, all of normal weight, who performed three separate exercise regimens over the course of the study.” In the first study participants did not exercise, as they sat for 14 hours. In the second study participants sat for 13 hours, but performed one hour of vigor-ous cycling. In the final study, partici-pants sat for 8 hours, but engaged in 4 hours of walking and 2 hours of stand-ing. The researchers found the partici-pants had improved insulin sensitivity and lower cholesterol by simply walking and standing compared with when they performed no activity. Surprisingly, how-ever, the researchers also found the par-ticipants who walked and stood had im-proved insulin sensitivity, more so than when they participated in one hour of in-tense exercise.
So, which is better…walking or run-ning? (This could be a non-ending de-bate, right?)
Allow me to change the focus. It seems that many of us tend to move at a fast pace running everywhere to do big things for our churches or ministries, sprinting to work to make ends meet, accomplish-ing many things, and checking off an endless “to do” list. But is all that run-ning around really healthy? What about all the running around many of us par-ents do for our kids. Do they really need to be involved in everything?
What if all that running isn’t actually good for us? What if we slowed our pace and took time to walk with a discerning attitude. Check out what Proverbs 28:25-26 says; “Greed causes fighting; trusting the Lord leads to prosperity. Those who
trust their own insight are foolish, but anyone who walks in wisdom is safe.”
These are some interesting verses, don’t run past them. Stop…walk in those Words slowly…
“Greed causes fighting” – duh! The word “Greed” describes someone who wants more, someone who can’t seem to get enough of things and they are always ready to snatch up more. This leads to controversy with other, an engaging in war. Check out what James says about this in his book – James 4:1-3.
Instead we are to “trust the Lord, which leads to prosperity.” Another word for “prosperity” was “fat” which described the filling marrow in the bone. This wasn’t just blubber, it was a fattening which leads to strength. When we choose God’s portions and not our own portions, we become stronger. Think about this for a minute, Jesus tells us in Matthew 6 to pray for daily bread (that which strength-ens us), instead we pray for a bakery – we want more. Right? It seems innocent, like a righteous hunger, so we work at a frantic pace, gobbling up opportunities, running frantically to keep the bakery open. But is that really healthy?
Read on…”Those who trust their own insight are foolish.” In our quick paced world we tend listen to our own heart and ignore the helpful advice of godly friends, mentors, pastors, or wise coaches. We run through life going with what seems right to us. We trust our own insight, in-stead of listening to the counsel of God’s Words. What is that called? The author uses the word “foolish” which also mean stupid or arrogant! Ouch.
So what should we do? Finish the verse, “but anyone who walks in wisdom is safe.” Walk. Not run…walk. Walk in wisdom. The Biblical word for “walk” means to “choose a lifestyle or a manner of living.” What manner? What lifestyle? We are promised that daily choosing the right thing; the wise choice leads to “safe-ty.” This word “safety” describes being in a dangerous or harmful place, but escap-ing by the skin of your teeth. That’s close!
So, which is better – walking or run-ning? How about today and every day we make the choice to walk in God’s Word, in His truth that leads to prosperity and safety. Anything else is foolish! For more inspiration words of God, check out 2 Pe-ter 1:1-10.

One of the consequences of living in a culture of affluence has to do with an insatiable appetite for more, where one can never have enough.
Nancy Ortberg illustrates this truth when she tells the story about how their family dog, a golden retriever named Baxter, would get covered with ticks. So after doing some research about ticks, here’s what she discovered:
They actually call ticks “the overeaters of the insect world.” For those of you who are really technical in your biology … they’re of the arachnoid family; they’re not really insects.
[Ticks] have the disease of “more,” and when they latch on they can’t stop. Before a tick lands on its host it’s not very attractive, but it is very flat. Then a tick drops onto (because they do not have the capacity to jump) from
a bush or a thicket onto their host, looking for a warm-blooded creature. Once they engorge themselves with the host’s blood, they balloon up to 7-10 times their normal size. They’re utterly transformed.
The fascinating thing is once a tick has bloated up it automatically drops off the host and then can’t move. All of the energy in its body is directed to digesting what it’s just eaten. For the next few hours it is at the mercy of predators because it has eaten so much that it can’t move. Nancy Ortberg claims there can be a parallel with our spiritual lives. She says, “I have to admit that when I consider what I learned about ticks, there’s a little bit of a tick in me. I can be sometimes a picture of excess, not knowing when to say ‘enough,’ not knowing when to stop, and always wanting more.”
To curb and even cure our appetite for the material things of this world we read in scripture… Matthew 6:33 (NIV), 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness…” From this scripture we would always do well to remember to keep, “first things first.”
