PH: 419-258-2000 • 260-246-8843 • www.westbendnews.net NHAT Fire (Continued from Page 1) pate in the Firefighter 1 & 2 set to begin in the first quarter of 2014. First, interested individuals should pick up an application at the main NHAT Fire Department Headquarters located at 910 Hartzell Road in New Haven and return the fully completed application to the station prior to September 13, 2013 at 5:00 p.m. The next step in the process is a Written Exam, which will assess candidate’s basic math, reading, and writing skills. This will take place at the main NHAT Fire Department Headquarters at 8:30 am on Saturday, September 14, 2013. For those unable to attend the September 14th exam, a make-up test will be given on September 17th at 7:00 p.m. at Headquarters. Following the Written Exam, candidates undergo a Physical Agility Test that assesses each potential firefighter’s level of acrophobia (fear of heights), claustrophobia (fear of enclosed spaces), and general physical agility. The Physical Agility Test will take place on October 12, 2013 at 8:00 a.m. at NHAT Fire Department Headquarters; in the event of inclement weather, the test will be taken on Saturday, October 26, 2013. Anyone who is unable to successfully complete any of the above tests will not be permitted to move on to the next step in the process, and will be encouraged to work on developing their skills and reapply in the future, said Etzcorn. The final step in the process is an Oral Interview of the candidate with members of the Volunteer Firefighter Board on November 2-3, 2013. Candidates that are chosen for the Firefighter 1 & 2 class will be expected to commit to participate in classes twice a week in the evening and for either a ½ of full day on Saturdays until the course is completed. Once the candidate has successfully completed the Firefighter 1 & 2 course, he or she is expected to volunteer usually one night a week for training or work detail; according to Etzcorn, however, many chose to serve more. There is no cost to apply to become a volunteer firefighter, said Etzcorn, nor is there any cost associated with any of the required testing. Etzcorn said the department hopes to bring in between 10 and 12 new volunteers to divide between each of the three stations the department staffs. While the testing is no doubt both rigorous and thorough, there are many benefits to becoming a firefighter, such as camaraderie and the opportunity to give back to the community, said Etzcorn. In 2010, I watched my own husband Jon successfully go thru this very process; it was a challenging time for him, and for our family, one of sacrifice and growth, but also a very rewarding time that has brought many blessings and new opportunities to our family. In 2012, Jon took his Emergency Medical Responder certification course, and as part of the class he wrote an essay about why he became a firefighter. This is a small part of what he wrote: “For me, the fire service is all about serving– being there to help when it is needed the most. We are to be the people children look up to and the ones adults tell stories about, those who answer the call to help no matter PAGE 3 – WEST BEND NEWS – AUGUST 14, 2013 what the problem may be. We will always be there for those who are in need.” If you have a heart for helping your community in the Fire Service like my husband Jon, I would encourage you to stop by the NHAT Fire Department Headquarters on Hartzell and pick up an application to become a volunteer firefighter. The upcoming Firefighter 1 & 2 class set to begin in early 2014 is open to all of Allen County, so if you reside outside of New Haven/Adams Township, check with your local fire department (such as Hoagland, Woodburn, Monroeville, Poe, Northeast Fire) for information about becoming a member and getting enrolled in the upcoming class. For more information about the process of becoming a New Haven Adams Township volunteer firefighter, contact Dan Etzcorn, Josh Hale, or Cody Brooks by calling 260-493-7500 or Volunteer Board President Terry Smith at 260-580-0547. www.newhavenbulletin.com Antwerp School Board Meeting (Continued from Page 1) Joe Smalley - Kennel Mate Dealer in Paulding County – 419-258-7245 • 419-258-2584 Ryan suggested the school look into price comparison per kilowatt hour per square foot to see how it compares to other schools in the area. High School Principal Michael Bute said middle schoolers could pick up their schedules on August 14-16 and the high schoolers can pick up theirs on August 12-16. He also stated there will be a faculty orientation on Monday, August 19. The staff has been a great help according to Elementary Principal Tim Manz. He has been working hard to get settled in while learning the ropes at the school while also receiving lots of training in Wapakoneta. He was also proud to announce the school enrollment has increased for both preschool and kindergarten. The Antwerp school is at full capacity in the preschool and now has a large waiting list. Superintendant Pat Ross made note of the changes in the bus schedule. A meeting with the bus drivers and staff will help people understand the changes in the new single bus route system that will take effect this year. The Safe Routes to School has also changed part of the route south of River Street in town. There is a meeting at 6:30 at the school on Thursday, August 9 for parents to talk about the route changes with bus drivers and staff. Pat also mentioned the custodians have done a great job getting the school prepared for the next year. There were several staff changes announced: Harla Long was approved for a one year contract as a .5 time middle school English teacher and .25 Title 2nd and 3rd grade math teacher for the 2013-14 school year; Alexandria Gillis as a long term Spanish substitute for the 2013-2014 school year. Alexandria has a Master’s degree in Spanish Language. Kathy Jones, Deb Ricard and Michael Schmidt will become full time custodians effective August 19, 2013. The school board at Antwerp is excited about the new school year starting. P.O.

Serving Since 1920 NEW CHAPTER FOR PAYNE BRANCH LIBRARY “I feel like I am home,” shares Suzi Yenser, the new manager for the Payne Branch of the Paulding County Carnegie Library system. “I always thought I would rather live in a larger city, but I am back in Paulding County. I guess I am just a small town girl.” Suzi Yenser took over the management of the Payne Branch earlier this summer when then manager, Sara Molitor, was promoted to Head of Youth Services at the main historic Carnegie Library in Paulding. Yenser graduated from Paulding High School in 2006 and from Bowling Green State University in 2010 where she received a degree in Education with specialties in Event Management and Recreation. She has been a volunteer coordinator for the Black Swamp Arts Festival in Bowling Green and more recently an event manager for Vera Bradley’s production facility in Fort Wayne. “We are thrilled to welcome Suzi as part of the library team,” states Susan Pieper, Library Director. “She is enthusiastic and creative with a background that is sure to enhance library service in the Village of Payne.” Mrs. Yenser has been busy this summer with the Summer Reading Program and becoming familiar with the library and library procedures. “I love it. The people are great, the Summer Reading Program is a success and the kids are excited,” shared Yenser. Yenser feels right at home. Her husband, Jake, has opened up his own heating and air-conditioning business right around the corner and she used to work at the local Marathon. “I cannot say enough about our love for this small town,” said Suzi. “It is a wonderful feeling to be able to call a local business, or call in a pizza order, and just give them your name. Small town folks are on first-name basis with each other, and that is priceless.” Suzi is the daughter of John and Judy Mumma of Payne. The Yensers are expecting their first child in early 2014. The couple resides in rural Paulding County.

STATEMENT FROM OHIO SECRETARY OF STATE HUSTED State Senator Frank LaRose (R-Copley) introduced Senate Bill 175 to establish online voter registration, online absentee ballot requests and improve the exchange of voter data among states and state agencies – innovations for which Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted has long supported and advocated. All of the following may be attributed to Secretary Husted. “Allowing Ohioans to register to vote online will improve voter access, ensure greater security, save taxpayer dollars and increase the accuracy of the state’s voter rolls. It is the next step in further modernizing Ohio’s election system. “Leveraging data and technology is an effective way to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse in our democratic process – ensuring that it is easier to vote and harder to cheat. “I commend Senator LaRose for the work he has already done on this issue and encourage the legislature to take up and pass this important measure this year.” We deliver!

I fear that people are missing out on such a beautiful thing because their views have been warped by Christians who are representing Christ in a false way.” Brennan Manning, who passed away earlier this year, wrote, “The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians, who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, then walk out the door, and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.” Jesus taught, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another,” (John 13:3435 ESV).

Luke 8:41 – Whose feet did he fall down to? 4. Luke 8:41 – What did Jairus beg Jesus for? 5. Luke 8:42 – How many daughters did Jairus have? 6. Luke 8:42 –How old was Jairus daughter? 7. Luke 8:42 – What thronged Jesus? 8. Luke 8:43 – How long had the woman had a flow of blood? 9. Luke 8:43 – What had this woman spent her livelihood on? 10. Luke 8:44 –Whose garment did she touch? Comments or questions? Call James Potter at 419-3934775 or Lonnie Lambert at 419-399-5022. Jesus loves you and so does the Oakwood church of Christ. Answers to last week’s questions: 1. Jesus had the greater authority; 2. They entered the swine; 3. They ran into the water and drowned.; 4. They fled to the city and the country.; 5. The demons; 6. To see what happened; 7. In his right mind; 8. To depart from them; 9. Because of fear and unbelief; 10. If he could go with him. Now some comments on what we have been studying. Notice in Luke 8:41, Jairus was a synagogue official whose responsibilities were administrative and included such things as looking after the temple and supervising the worship. Even though at times there were exceptions (see Acts 13:15). This Jewish official had a daughter who was dying of an illness, when a lady intervenes and wants healing. This lady had an issue with her blood, for about twelve years and had spent the money she had on seeing physicians or doctors. Anyone who touched her was made ceremonially unclean. (Leviticus 15:25-33). Notice the woman’s faith in verse 44, she touches the border of Jesus garment and immediately she is healed. Loved ones, don’t let any- one tell you that they have this power today, for they are all liars, they know this, and others know this as well as myself. Read James 5:13-18 (especially). The Bible tells us how to be healed today. Luke 8:48 tells us that this woman was healed spiritually (peace) and physically, for her faith had made her well. Ol’ Baldy says bye for now, but continue to pray, read, and studies God’ holy word, the Bible. Luv ya! SUBMISSION By: Rev. Ernie Johnson What is submission? There have been various meanings given this word over the years. According to Dictionary.com, submission means: 1. To yield oneself to the power or authority of another: to submit to a conqueror. 2. To allow oneself to be subjected to some kind of treatment: to submit to chemotherapy. 3. To defer to another’s judgment, opinion, decision, etc.: I submit to your superior judgment. Let us today look at what submission meant to Mary when she was given news that would shake her world. We find the account recorded in the book of Luke. Luke 1:26-38: 26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city in Galilee called Nazareth, 27 to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the descendants of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And coming in, he said to her, “Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you.” 29 But she was very perplexed at this statement, and kept pondering what kind of salutation this was. 30 The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; for you have found favor with God. 31 “And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name Him Jesus. 32 “He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David; 33 and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end.” 34 Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I am a virgin?” 35 The angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for that reason the holy Child shall be called the Son of God. 36 “And behold, even your relative Elizabeth has also conceived a son in her old age; and she who was called barren is now in her sixth month. 37 “For nothing will be impossible with God.” 38 And Mary said, “Behold, the bondslave of the Lord; may it be done to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her. NASB Mary was troubled at Gabriel’s words as well she should be, but notice the difference between what she said and did, and that of Zacharias when Gabriel made a birth announcement to him. Mary asked the logical question in verse 34: “How can this be, since I am a virgin?” A logical question to be sure and it would be safe to say she knew what was implied. Look at her response when Gabriel answered her and told her about Elizabeth as well as how she would become pregnant. She may still have been amazed that this could happen but look at her response. She did not laugh as did Abraham and Sarah. She did not tell God it was impossible, as did Zacharias. Mary simply replied that God do His will in her life and as a result, Jesus was born. When God reveals His will to us, we usually make one of three choices. We laugh and say “No way!” and he shows us that there is “HIS” way. Then we accept that which we cannot change and God has His way. Another choice is to tell God it is impossible and He will have to prove it to us. That is what Zacharias did and when God made him mute, he surrendered and God had his will. The third choice is always best. Mary, in love, said “Yes Lord!” and God accomplished His will through her submission. The three choices are simply: 1. Acceptance: accepting the reality of something we cannot change. 2. Surrender: yielding to a superior force. 3. Submission: voluntary obedience in love, not from force. Abraham accepted, Zacharias surrendered, Mary submitted.

He was fishing on Rose Lake in Northern Minnesota for anything that would bite. He was using live bait and after awhile his bobber disappeared. He waited a good while so what was biting was get himself hooked pretty good. He waited and then rolled in all his slack line until he could feel the tug on the end of the line. Then he leaned over and set the hook, and when he did that the water exploded. The fish did not come out of the water but he took off like a jet engine. He was taking line and a lot of it. Pete was dragging his thumb on the reel but the line was still going out, but maybe a little slower. After a few minutes of reeling in and the big fish taking out more line the action slowed down a little. After some time Pete realized he could not reel any line in and the line was not going out anymore. Things were at a standstill the line was not moving at all and Pete wanted to see what he hooked on to, he knew it was big but he wanted to see it anyhow. In a few minutes a man in a divers’ suit walked up and stood on the bank. Pete talked to the diver and told him about his big tussle with something and would like the diver to go into the water and find out what was on the end of the line. The diver said he would see what Pete had, so down he went into the lake. After a bit he surfaced beside the boat. He said to Pete, “Mister you have hooked the biggest Northern Pike that I have ever saw. He was still on your line but you will never get him.” “Well, why can’t I catch him, why can’t you get him for me?” “There is an old Model T Ford Chassis down there on the bottom and he is inside this old car body.” “Well, why didn’t you pick him up for me?” “Every time I get close to him he rolls the window up.” See Ya! HORNISH TRUCKING FROM 1940 – NOW By: Stan Jordan When Stan Hornish was called into the army back in 1940, he was already set up pretty good in the trucking business. PH: 419-258-2000 • 260-246-8843 • info@westbendnews.net He had two good trucks and some good contracts. They had a meeting and it was decided that his father would drive one of the trucks. Her father would drive the other one. His wife Nellie would keep the books and do the dispatching. These fathers did a fine job and advised Nellie when she asked for it. Such as they had her to buy 60 acres just for the taxes on the main highway between Goodyear and Buckeye. This transaction proved to be a Godsend. They had her order two International trucks from the trucking company in Fort Wayne, IN. When they started to make new trucks again, Hornish Trucking should get the first two. These two old drivers retired just as soon as Stan left them after the war. They didn’t go too far away. They also told Stan to switch his trucks as soon as he could to diesel fuel, that is the future in trucking. Sgt. Jenkins came to drive for Hornish Motors. That part of the Hornish Trucking Corral became Hornish Motors. They are both intrastate and interstate. Jenkins runs most of the interstate and he is home almost every night. In the past five years, Brig. Gen. Norm Guggenheim retired from the army and spent his time between his kin and NYC and his pals in Goodyear, AZ. He has informed Stan Hornish to go big in trucking as Arizona will grow fast in the next few generations, so you might as well get in on the ground floor, so to speak. I can get you all the money you need for 2%. So Stan sent letters to all the Hornish’s to everyone that was in the 589th Fighter Wing and to his wife’s Nellie family to meet in the truck garage on a certain day to make plans for the up and coming Hornish Truck Corral, at Goodyear, AZ. All that was invited came. The reunion was held the night before and the big picture came at 8:00 a.m. the next day. Everyone was present from the 589th Fighter Wing including old Dan and I. Stan opened the meeting but turned the program over to Norm Guggenheim to tell us while we are here. See ya! THE MIGHTY MAJESTIC MUDDY MAUMEE RAFT RACE By: Stan Jordan August the 17th is rapidly approaching—that’s the day of the big raft race. All entrants are to put their rafts in the river at the east end of Veteran’s Memorial Park at 12:00 noon that day. The P.C. Women’s Club called the Busy Fingers and Evil Doers are dead set against having mermaids at the race sight. What is so wrong with have a pretty blond mermaid sitting on a rock? They will probably influence Mrs. Eagle to protest also. One of the eaglets has already left home. It looks now like the water level in the river will be a little higher than last year, most of the rafts had to portage a little last year. You will probably need a life vest for security. I am again making the mermaids wear a life jacket. Oh, what a tangled web we weave! See ya! A LONG HARD COLD WINTER By: Stan Jordan I have told this story twice before, but a lady asked me to do it again. So please bear with me. This fellow was a big successful cattle raiser up in Northern Montana. They raised white-faced top of the line cattle. They had just finished making their hay crop when the dad said to his #1 son, “I wonder if we have enough feed for the cattle if we have a bad winter? Why don’t you ride over to the reservation and ask the old chief what kind of winter we’re going to have?” The son did that chore and the chief replied, “We are going to have a long hard cold winter.” When the father heard that he went out and bought 40 more acres of hay for the winter feed. They got those loaded and put in the barn and the farmer was still in doubt in having enough feed for a long winter. So he sent his son over to the reservation to ask his prediction for the winter. The boy asked the chief what kind of winter we were going to have. We’re going to have a long hard cold winter. The boy returned home and told his father what the chief predicted a long hard cold winter. The father wanted to be sure he would have enough hay to feed the steers through the winter and went out a bought 20 acres of hay. By now everything was full of bales of hay, all the barns and lean to and some bales under some tarps. The farmer had his son to go see the chief about the prediction for the coming winter. The boy returned with the same answer, the chief predicts a long hard cold winter. The father was a little perturbed about the chief’s prediction. He told his son, “Please go and saddle my horse and I will ride with you over to see the chief.” They rode side by side over to the reservation and the father was telling the boy that the Indians use all the elements to predict the weather, the moon, the sun, the stars, even that snow there swirling around those twin peaks. They have used those signs for hundreds of years. So the father asked the chief what kind of winter we’re going to have. The chief replied, “I predict we’re going to have a long hard cold winter.” The farmer asked the chief, “On what do you place your predictions?” The chief replied, “The farmers are putting in a lot of hay.” See ya! ODNR KEEPING YOUTHONLY FISHING PONDS FULL The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) stocked five state-owned ponds which have designated family-friendly fishing areas for youth on Monday, August 12. Young anglers are encouraged to bring their family and enjoy these fishing areas throughout the remainder of the summer and fall. “This is a great opportunity for families to take advantage of the weather and enjoy the outdoors,” said ODNR Director James Zehringer. “We encourage everyone to take advantage of this chance to create some fishing memories.” The designated youthonly fishing areas are located at Sycamore State Park, west of Dayton; Delaware State Park, north of Delaware; Maumee Bay State Park, east of Toledo; Caesar Creek State Park, southwest of Xenia; and the Wildlife District Three youth fishing ponds in Akron. Adults are not allowed to fish in the youth area, but they may assist their young anglers. Picnic tables and restroom facilities are available, and young anglers are encouraged to wear hats and sunglasses to protect themselves while casting their lines. State park ponds will be stocked with catchable channel catfish and hybrid bluegill. These family-friendly youth-only fishing areas are partially funded by the purchases of Ohio fishing licenses and federal contributions from the Sport Fish Restoration Fund.

You received a class schedule and locker code in the mail a few weeks before school started, and that was that. In fact, when I tried to think of something to compare my first days of high school, the only thing that came to mind was Shark Week on the Discovery Channel; we lowly Freshman were thrown into the tank at the end of another hot August summer and you either had to figure out what you were doing real quick, or you stood about as good of a chance of making it out alive as a cute and cuddly baby seal in shark infested waters. In other words, the odds were not in your favor. Luckily for modern day students, times have changed since I was a Freshman. For instance, at New Haven High School on Friday, August 9, 2013, the entire morning was devoted to getting incoming students off on the right foot. Students (and their parents) filled the gymnasium to meet the NHHS administrators, staff, and student leaders. After the students were welcomed to Orientation by NHHS Principal Greg Mohler, new EACS Superintendent, Dr. Kenneth Folks, offered the students a few words of PAGE 7 – WEST BEND NEWS – AUGUST 14, 2013 wisdom. “Get involved. The time you spend participating in clubs and sports and activities are the things you will remember long after high school,” said Dr. Folks. Senior Daniel Romary offered some additional advice to the incoming Freshman based on his own experiences at NHHS. “Start off your career as a Bulldog strong, but if you get overwhelmed don’t be afraid to ask for help.” Comedian and motivational speaker Craig Tornquist, who has appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and the Sinbad Show, offered a hilarious and poignant take on what to expect as they enter high school as he drew on his own life experiences to make his point. “Everyone in this world has a talent you are born with,” Tornquist told the students. “New Haven is a great place for you to develop those talents.” Tornquist encouraged the students to become smart risk takers and develop their ability to persevere. “If you dream really big, make really good choices, and work really hard, anything is possible!” said Tornquist. Following Mr. Tornquist’s address, Principal Mohler talked with the students about the importance of integrity as they begin their adventure as high school students next week. “You all have a clean slate when you walk in these doors on Tuesday,” said Principal Mohler. “You set the course for the next four years.” Principal Mohler went on to challenge the students to take calculated risks during their time as students at New Haven High School. Parents of NHHS students were also challenged to take risks by joining the new Parent Group that meets at NHHS at 5:30 p.m. on Monday evenings. For more information about this group, contact the school office at 260-446-0220. Maureen O’Donoghue, Director of Guidance, welcomed the new students to NHHS along with some sound advice. “You are going to have opportunities while students at New Haven,” said O’Donoghue. “You may not understand why you have all of these opportunities, but be open to them. Seize them! Welcome to NHHS!” Dave Myers, NHHS Athletic Director, also welcomed the incoming students to New Haven High School. “My #1 piece of advice is, whether you are participating in a club or sports, is get involved!” said Myers. Following the motivational part of the morning, the students were off to face challenges of a more pressing variety: learning where their classes would be and how to open those pesky lockers. Led by veteran members of the Student Council, the Freshman class was broken down into more manageable small groups by first letter of their last name, and with class schedules clutched in hand, set off to make their way thru the hallowed halls of New Haven High School. By my calculations, the only thing left they still need to learn to get off to a great start on Tuesday is the NHHS School Song: Old New Haven, My Old New Haven Old New Haven, We’re all For You We Will Fight For The Gold And Purple For The Colors We Know Are True, Never Daunted We Will Not Falter For The Colors So Bright And True Old New Haven, Old New Haven Old New Haven We’re All For You! BACK TO SCHOOL ROAD SAFETY DOS AND DON’TS BUS RIDERS: DO wait for a signal from the bus driver before crossing the street. Walk at least 10 steps away from the front of the bus so the driver can see you. DON’T play in the street while waiting for the bus. DO look both ways before stepping off the bus to be sure no cars are passing on the shoulder/side of the road. DON’T bend down in front of the bus to tie shoes or pick up objects, as the driver may not be able to see you. If you drop something, tell the bus driver. PEDESTRIANS AND BIKE RIDERS: DON’T walk alone—always travel with a buddy. DO pay attention to all traffic signals and crossing guards along the way. DON’T talk or text on your phone while crossing the street. DO always try to walk on paths or sidewalks. If there are no sidewalks or paths, walk facing traffic. DON’T forget to wear a helmet when riding a bicycle. Make sure it fits right. It should sit even on top of the head–not rocking in any di- rection – and always fasten the strap. DO learn the proper hand signals and use them. CAR DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS: DO always wear a seatbelt. DON’T overfi ll your car’s capacity so that passengers don’t have a seatbelt or proper restraint. More passengers create more distractions and increase the risk of crashes. DO check your tire pressure once a week to make sure your tires are properly filled to avoid tire failure and poor emissions. DON’T ever text or talk on the phone while driving. Not only is it illegal, but it is the most life-threatening thing you can do behind the wheel. One recent study found that texting makes you 23 times more likely to get in a crash! www.newhavenbulletin.com VISIT westbendnews.net for latest daily news updates, video, obituaries and pictures in the area.

The Foundation consistently meets the standards of organizations that monitor charities, including the Better Business Bureau’s Wise Giving Alliance (give.org) and the American Institute of Philanthropy (charitywatch.org). More than 81 cents of every dollar the Foundation spends goes to mission-critical programs. For more information visit www.ccfa.org. Join us on Saturday, September 7, 2013 at Indian Trails Park in Fort Wayne! The Indiana Chapter of the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation will be hosting its annual Take Steps for Crohn’s and Colitis walk and celebration to raise critical funds for research and support programs. Take Steps is the organization’s primary tool for spreading awareness about Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, collectively known as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). IBD affects more than 30,000 Hoosiers, or 1 in 200 people, many of whom live in extreme pain and silence. Due to the nature of these diseases and the symptoms that accompany them, IBD is often not discussed and leaves patients feeling isolated. CCFA is working to change this! With events like Take Steps, the Indiana Chapter of the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation is working to educate Indiana and provide resources to all IBD patients, their families and caretakers.

Y2201 Y2313 Sienna PAGE 10 – WEST BEND NEWS – AUGUST 14, 2013 AVOID “CRAMMING” FOR COLLEGE SAVINGS Financial Focus by: Phil Recker, Edward Jones Advisor If you have children, you’re keenly aware that it’s getting close to back-to-school time. Today, that might mean you need to go shopping for notebooks and pencils. But in the future, when “back to school” means “off to college,” your expenditures are likely to be significantly greater. Will you be financially prepared for that day? It could be expensive. The average cost for one year at an in-state public school is $22,261, while the comparable expense for a private school is $43,289, according to the College Board’s figures for the 2012–2013 academic year. And these costs will probably continue to rise. Still, there’s no need to panic. Your child could receive grants or scholarships to college, which would lower the “sticker price.” But it’s still a good idea for you to save early and often. To illustrate the importance of getting an early jump on college funding, let’s look at two examples of how you might fund a college education. A 529 plan is one way — but not the only way — to save for college. (The following examples are hypothetical in nature and don’t reflect the performance of an actual investment or investment strategy.) Example 1: Suppose you started saving for your child’s college education when she was 3 years old. If you contributed $200 a month, for 15 years, to a 529 plan that earned 7% a year, you’d accumulate about $64,000 by the time your daughter turned 18. With a 529 plan, your earnings grow tax free, provided all withdrawals are used for qualified higher education purposes. (Keep in mind, though, that 529 plan distributions not used for qualified expenses may be subject to federal and state income tax and a 10% IRS penalty.) Example 2: Instead of starting to save when your child was 3, you wait 10 years, until she turns 13. You put in the same $200 per month to a 529 plan that earns the same 7% a year. After five years, when your daughter has turned 18, you will have accumulated slightly less than $15,000. Clearly, there’s a big disparity between $64,000 and $15,000. So, if you don’t want to be in a position where you have to start putting away huge sums of money each month to “catch up” on your college savings, you’ll be well advised to start saving as early as possible — specifically, during the first few years of your child’s life. Of course, given all your other expenses, you may find it challenging to begin putting away money for college. And with so many years to go until you actually need the money, it’s tempting to put off your savings for another day. But those “other days” can add up — and before you know it, college may be looming. Consequently, you may want to put your savings on “autopilot” by setting up a bank authorization to move money each month into a college savings account. And, as your income rises, you may be able to increase your monthly contributions. Save early, save often: It’s a good strategy for just about any investment goal — and it can make an especially big difference when it comes to paying for the high costs of higher education. LATTA SPONSORS LEGISLATION TO DRIVE DOWN ENERGY COSTS Congressman Bob Latta (R-Bowling Green) has introduced the Energy Employment and Security Act of 2013, a bill that seeks to increase domestic oil production, drive down gas prices, repeal onerous energy development policies and mandates, and reduce bureaucratic delays that obstruct the refining and permitting process. “Hardworking Americans, small business owners, and farmers across Ohio’s Fift h Congressional District feel the negative impacts of escalating gas prices on their budgets. Unstable gas prices and high energy costs result in a host of negative day-today impediments that make everything from groceries to commuting to work more expensive. It is imperative that we implement policies that PH: 419-258-2000 • 260-246-8843 • info@westbendnews.net make energy more affordable for American families,” said Latta. The bill will curb increased gas prices and create downward pressure on the cost of oil by allowing America to take advantage of its vast domestic oil resources while preserving the free market, and reducing unnecessary government interference. “We need a true all-ofthe-above approach, one that includes allowing America to utilize our domestic energy resources to provide relief at the pump while creating new jobs and improving U.S. energy security. Recent technological advances in the energy sector have opened up access to once unavailable domestic sources of energy, and specifically in Ohio, this energy renaissance has led to a number of positive economic benefits in small towns and communities,” Latta concluded. Specifically, this bill expands access in the Outer Continental Shelf, opens up ANWR to exploration and production, establishes a streamlined process for permitting and lease sales, increases access to onshore oil, including shale oil, blocks burdensome and unnecessary regulations, and simplifies the judicial review process to limit frivolous environmental litigation on leasing and permitting that would indefinitely halt energy production.

By: Beth Stauffer Everyone enjoys a night out on the town, and when the night out is spent in the lovely Schnelker Park in downtown New Haven on a perfect evening in late summer it doesn’t get much better. Unless, of course, you consider that the event was entirely free to the public and included food and beverages, the live band Scarlet Raven, Target knapsacks filled with PAGE 11 – WEST BEND NEWS – AUGUST 14, 2013 complimentary goodies, and door prizes. Tuesday evening August 6, 2013 was such a night in Schnelker Park as the City of New Haven and the New Haven Police Department hosted its annual National Night Out event. According to New Haven Mayor Terry McDonald, the 30th annual National Night Out in New Haven drew the largest crowd in memory on Tuesday evening as individuals and families flocked to the pavilion and surrounding gazebo and playground area to take part in the variety of activities available for community residents to participate in. The purpose of the National Night out is to enhance police-community relationships and offer the public information and tips on preventing crime in their communities.

On Tuesday, August 6th more than 35 million people were expected to participate all over the country. Here in New Haven, the first 100 attendees to the National Night Out received nylon drawstring backpacks from Target filled with coloring pages, safety information, stickers, a Frisbee, and a clip on flashing light to enhance safety while walking or biking. Everyone in attendance was eligible to participate in a free raffle for more than dozen prizes. Free pizza was provided all night long for National Night Out attendees, in addition to canned soft drinks, bottled waters, popcorn, potato chips, cookies, and mini cupcakes served by a large crew of volunteers from the Fort Wayne area Target Stores. Additional sponsors of the event included Pepperidge Farms, New Haven Parks & Recreation Department, A Party Apart, the Fort Wayne TinCaps, FritoLay, Pepsi, Domino’s Pizza, Coca-Cola, Kroger, and Snyders of Hanover. Over at the dunk tank, Police Chief Steve Poiry and Detective Henry McKinnon took turns poised in the hot seat as residents lined up for three chances to knock the pair into the tank. By the looks of both Chief Poiry and Detective McKinnon at the end of the evening, New Haven has some really accurate pitchers and/or quarterbacks that were in attendance at the National Night Out because they were both drenched! All of the money raised at the dunk tank will go towards the Police K-9 Unit Fund; speaking of which, this particular unit was also hard at work in Schnelker Park on Tuesday evening. K-9 Officers Remi, Armor and trainee K9 officer Henry were VIPs of sorts at a K-9 Officer Meet & Greet in the park along with their partners, Officer Scott Adam, Sargeant Brent Bolinger, and Officer Jonathan Wenzel. K-9 Officer Remi also starred in an impressive live demonstration on TV during Indiana’s Newscenter’s evening news broadcast. Bad guys, beware—Remi may have looked sweet during the Meet & Greet with New Haven children, but that was definitely not the case during her television appearance. Back at the Schnelker Park pavilion, New Haven city officials had a booth set up to help parents create a Kid Care I.D. Card that documents a child’s photograph, fingerprints, and other vital information. By the bouncy house, 27 year old Kris D’Angelo held her infant daughter in her arms while watching her older son frolic with the other children in the inflatable fun house. D’Angelo said she has been bringing her children to the National Night Out since moving to New Haven in 2011 because she wants her children to know that the public safety officers are good people to know, and here to help. The New Haven Adams Township Fire and EMS Department were also on hand Tuesday night. Engine #17 was on display with a crew of firefighters available for resi- HARLAN DAYS 2013 RAFFLE WINNERS The Harlan Days Committee is happy to announce the 2013 Harlan Days Raffle winners.

Throughout the evening, several children wanted to have their photos taken with a “real” firefighter in front of Engine #17, and Firefighter Dan Etzcorn happily obliged. I watched at one point as an adorable brown haired boy with a shiny badge on his chest approached the firefighter turnout gear on display in front of Engine #17 with his little sister, a curly haired little blonde with blue eyes. As the little girl peered into the big pair of firefighter’s boots, I smiled at the boy and said cheerfully, “Do you want to be a firefighter when you grow up?” He very seriously crossed his arms over his chest and glared at me. His mother smiled and said apologetically, “His dad is actually one of the policemen over there.” She pointed sheepishly towards the K-9 demonstration area. “I see,” I said, smiling at the little boy. “I bet you want to be a policeman then!” He nodded slowly, and a big smile stretched across his face. I can’t say I blame the little guy… the Police Department really knows how to throw a party, and the 30th Annual National Night Out held on August 6, 2013 is Exhibit A! www.newhavenbulletin.com Hormann’s HEATING & COOLING Geothermal • Gas • Electric ANTWERP, OHIO 419-258-1640 Meyer Excavating 17197 Road 45 • Antwerp, Ohio 45813 (419) 542-8450 cell: (419) 506-0002 Stone & Dirt Hauling • Backhoe & Dozer work • Snow Removal • Demolition Pleasant Valley Golf Course 4152 Rd 17 Payne, Ohio 45880 419-263-2037 1-800-803-3405 MEMBER OF U.S.G.A DMC Container Service 10 Yd 15 Yd 260-267-8274 PAGE 12 – WEST BEND NEWS – AUGUST 14, 2013 PAULDING COUNTY COURT REPORTS Criminal Disposition Report Jason A.

VETERANS’ DISABILITY CLAIMS DESERVE PROMPT ACTION Guest Column from Representative Tony Burkley In recent years, the number of veterans who have returned home applying for disability benefits has increased. This increase has caused a backlog in our system to provide medical care for men and women who put their lives on the line for our country. Some estimates I have seen have indicated that more than 900,000 service members are facing delays in receiving disability benefits. Because of continual advancements in medicine and technology, there are more opportunities for veterans to be treated and to live longer after returning from service. But it is critical that their claims are respected and responded to promptly. This is primarily a federal issue, so what states like Ohio can do is very limited. Still, it is an issue that affects our state and region. The VA office in Cleveland has said that nearly 24,000 veterans in Ohio alone have waited an average of 265 days to have their disability claims processed. Our area veterans organizations do a great job of providing services and maintaining unity among our service men and women. However, processing delays at the federal level put serious strain on the people who need help. Between fiscal years 2009 and 2012, the average time for the Department of Veterans Affairs to complete a disability claim went from :$11(0$&+(5$8&7,21((5·6 WANNEMACHER AUCTIONEER'S 38%/,&$8&7,21 PUBLIC AUCTION DGED)ROW]5HDOW\ adba Foltz Realty 1:LOOLDPV6W3DXOGLQJ2KLR 106 N.

Talking over the upcoming event are teens: (l-r) Lauren Hill, Megan Reineck, Isaac Nice, and Ashley Snipes with Dave Bussing, from the Dooley Drive band. First Presbyterian Church invites area high schoolers to a 5th Quarter party on Friday, August 23rd, from 7:30–10:00 p.m. in the church parking lot. The party will immediately follow the football scrimmage and Meet the Team night at Paulding High School. Featuring live music by the Christian band Dooley Drive. There will be free food and pop, and a variety of games. In case of inclement weather, the party will go on indoors. The Presbyterian parking lot is right along Williams Street (Rt. 127) at the corner of Caroline Street, one block north of the courthouse… look for the tents! While the tents are up, worship will be held in the parking lot on Sunday, August 25th at 9:15 a.m. Special worship leaders will be Trinity, a musical trio ministry from Van Wert. This is a casual event, and everyone is invited to come and enjoy… bring a lawn chair if you like! For more information about 5th Quarter on Friday, August 23 , or Trinity on Sunday, August 25, check the church website, www. pauldingpresbyterian.com, or contact the church office, 419-399-2438. 161 days to 260 days, according to the United States Government Accountability Office. In that same time, the number of backlogged claims that have been pending for more than 125 days has tripled. Again, while states are very limited with what they can do to address this problem, they can put pressure on the federal government and make it clear that the delays in processing veterans’ disability claims is a serious problem that must be corrected. Recently, the Ohio House passed a resolution urging the president, Congress and the US Secretary of Veterans Affairs to take every step needed to reduce this wait time. As with many problems our nation is facing, the solution might not be simple. But when it comes to taking care of the individuals who have admirably served our country on the battlefield and who now require medical attention, patience is no virtue. donated by Heritage Park and the supplies are provided by the New Haven Fire Department, Paterson Do-It-Best, Rent-A-Center of New Haven, Big Lots and Greater Mount Ararat Baptist Church.

Residents and visitors alike enjoyed a beautiful day at the Antwerp Day in the Park. The day of events started off with the parade traveling north on Main Street with the Antwerp Police Department leading the tour. Barry Delong introduced each parade participant as they worked their way towards the Riverside Memorial Park. At the park Regan Clem, was the MC and he introduced each of the entertainment lineup as their show time arrived. The award for “Gem of the Year” was presented to Dr. William Bricker, who stated how he always wanted to be a dentist. He worked hard and a lady had helped him through college from Hicksville. Eight years after entering college he graduated from OSU as a doctor of dentistry and opened his practice in Antwerp. The Dance Dolls captured the attention of the passersby with the familiar tunes and smooth dance moves. The Antwerp Community Band and The Old Brass Band serenaded fair-goers on through the lunch hour. At 1:30 p.m. it was lunch time, and that meant it was time to kick off the Pie Baking Contest hosted by the Antwerp Friends of the Library group. Judges David and Stephanie McCullough, Pastor Rick Grimes, Tianne Pendergrast, and Becky Zartman tucked in at the judging table with fork and pen in hand as 13 pies were paraded by them. After all was said and done (and the judges were dazed with sugar shock!), Sandra Taylor won 3rd place with her Almond Joe Pie, Clay VanCleve took 2nd place with her Red Raspberry Pie, and the 1st place prize went to Paula Skeens with a Bourbon Bacon Pecan Pie. After the judges was over the Friends group gave away slices to all who were in the park. And that bacon pie didn’t last long! Many people helped pulled together Day in the Park this year, but two standouts included Michelle Dooley and Nancy Lichty of the Chamber. Michelle said all of the planning started in February to make sure Day in the Park was a success, arranging all of the entertainment, parade, and much more. Great job to the Chamber and all who worked hard to bring the community together.

Upon inspection, they identified a serious breach in the integrity of the building. Up until this time, it was thought that the triangular brick shifts visible above the lower windows, were part of the original design and repair was not addressed. All Trades found that these breaches allowed moisture to enter the building behind the walls which explained why the library had so much unexplained moisture damage over the years to the interior walls. By closely inspecting every brick, every cement feature, All Trades was able to recommend a program of comprehensive restoration and repair of the historic library exterior. All Trades not only expertly removed, reset and secured the heavy keystones with customized steel rods; they also reset and replaced all bricks to the original location, removed and replaced old mortar, repaired all exterior windows and replaced aging storm windows. All Trades takes pride in the restoration of historic buildings and worked above and beyond the scope of the project to enhance the atheistic of the building, such as replacing unattractive drain scuppers with customized designed scuppers that repeated the design of an existing ornamental style. Jeff Hollis, the principle restoration specialist with All Trades was in charge of this restoration and repair project and supervised a team of skilled masons and designers. Hollis and his team used ingenuity and creativity to ascertain the best way to reset the keystones and replace the bricks; therefore preserving the integrity and the historic profile of the building. This technique of ingenious repair could be used as a model for other historical buildings with shifting keystones or other architectural elements that create a slip and shift hazard for brick façades. Jeff Hollis of All Trades and Susan Pieper, representing the Paulding County Carnegie Library, will receive their awards at the Ohio Historic Preservation Office Awards Luncheon on September 28, 2013.

See Video Tours of These Homes at www.Realtyfive.com TRANSMISSION FLUSH $114.95 BODY SHOP It’s hard to believe it’s been eight years since the first Redneck Jamboree. Broughton has held this small, but fun event centered around the Town Hall on Saturday, August 10. There was plenty of fun for the youngsters at the Inflatables setup on the east end of the Hall. The stage was setup and nearly ready to go when a downpour started and the rain delayed the starting of the evening. Quickly the rain passed and the line formed for dinner. The evening opened with the singing of the national anthem and a dedication of the US flag provided by the Grover Hill VFW and then prayer for the dinner. Immediately after the dedication the kids let balloons go and they watched as they travelled high into the western sky. Following the veterans’ cere- mony they were all invited to stand up front around the flag raising ceremony and then to the front of the food line. While the food line moved along, the music started on the stage up against the Town Hall. The entertainment featured: Rhonda Smalley singing gospel music, Morgan Bland, the beloved fiddle player from Hicksville, and Charity Moore and the Big Ugly Boys. For the young people there were balloon animals, crafts, face painting and fun inflatables. There was also a Kids Tug of War and Egg Toss games. Robin Dobbelaere, Kathy Sanderson, Teresa Matthews and a host of others worked hard to make the 2013 Broughton Redneck Jamboree a fun area event.
