Apple Dumpling Fest Brings Crowds To Delta

By: James Pruitt
THE VILLAGE REPORTER
Area residents turned out in force for the 2017 Apple Dumpling Festival in
downtown Delta Sept. 30. Main Street (U.S. 20A) was lined with vendors in tents
and people strolling up and down both sides of the street. There was a lot of activ-
ity on the grassy rectangle area where kids games, a live band, food vendors and a
pie-throwing contest was held.
The pie throw offered people a chance to smash a tray of whipped cream into a
local personality’s face at $2 a pop. Delta 109 restaurant was offering up the Apple
Dumplings and ice cream for $5.

Tis The Season For Bomber Victories The Theme For Edon Homecoming 2017

By: Nate Calvin PHOTOS BY FORREST CHURCH, STAFF
THE VILLAGE REPORTER

Hopes were high for the Bomber fans in attendance
for Homecoming 2017 that this would be the night for
win number one this season. Pregame festivities began
with the presentation of floats made by each class fol-
lowed by the crowning ceremonies on the field. At half-
time, the Queen and attendants were escorted across
the field by their relatives while the Edon High School
Band, under the direction of Sarah Vogel, performed.
Attendants were chosen by each class with the entire
student body choosing the Queen.

The 2017 Homecoming Queen and Court consisted
of Freshman Attendant Victoria Green, the daughter
of Paul and Debra Green, Sophomore Attendant Claire
Radabaugh, daughter of Joe and Jacque Radabaugh,
Junior Attendant Chloe Thiel, daughter of Carol Thiel,
and Senior Attendant Desi Bohn, the daughter of Jes-
sica Moran. The 2017 Edon Homecoming Queen was
Cameron Lord, the daughter of Rick and Christina
Lord. The attendants were escorted by Carson Brandt,
son of Mike and Hayley Brandt, and Travis Siebenaler,
the son of Ty Siebenaler and Nancy Humphrey. The
flower girl for this year was Harper Till, daughter of
Keirstin and Joe Werling while the crown bearer was
Ceagan Oberlin, son of Corissa and Corey Oberlin. The
Edon football team kept with this year’s theme as they
earned their first win of the 2017 season by defeating
Cardinal Stritch 69-22.

Charter Member Of Archbold Rotary Archbold Rotary Hears
Celebrates 90th Birthday About Ten Thousand Villages

PHOTO PROVIDED

CHARTER MEMBER CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY ... Chuck Lugbill, the only remain-
ing charter member of the Archbold Rotary Club, celebrated his 90th birthday
just like he does most Fridays – attending Archbold’s weekly Rotary at The Barn
Restaurant. For the last 21 years, Chuck hasn’t missed a meeting. However, to
help celebrate his 90th birthday, Archbold Rotarians surprised him with a cake
and birthday greetings signed by Ohio Governor John Kasich and Ohio Lt. Gover-
nor Mary Taylor. Chuck attended his first Rotary meeting on February 10, 1955.
Helping Chuck celebrate on his 90th birthday were three other Rotarians who have
been a member of the club for more than 30 years (from left): Dan McQuade, Bill
Rufenacht, Chuck Lugbill, and Tony Rupp. Each joined Archbold Rotary in 1976.
Maynard Sauder, not pictured, joined the club in June 1965. Chuck’s longtime
contributions to the club and the area’s agricultural community was recognized
five years ago when a shelter house in Woodland Park built by the Rotary Club was
named The Charles Lugbill Rotary Shelter.

Window Creation Speaks At Stryker Rotary

GUEST SPEAKER ... Elizabeth Baer, manager of Archbold’s Ten Thousand Vil-
lages store, and Rotarian Rick Mueller talked about the fair trade store on South
Defiance Street and the two Care and Share stores located in the same building
but with entrances off Lugbill Street at Friday’s Archbold Rotary meeting. Rick ex-
plained how the Care and Share Home and Clothing stores meet important needs
in the community with the help of 130 volunteers who sort through the gently used
donated items to determine the best way to market the merchandise and then in-
troduce the items in the stores. He said there is continual turn-over. Archbold’s
Ten Thousand Villages shop was one of the first opened by the Mennonite Central
Committee in the 1970s to support artisans and their families in developing coun-
tries. The shops trace their beginnings to Edna Ruth Byler. In 1946, she visited
Puerto Rico with MCC and brought back needlework to sell at a fair price to friends
and family in the United States. Today, what began with sales from the trunk of
her car has become hundreds of shops and even an online store. But, the basic
mission remains the same: Develop long term relationships with the artisans in
developing countries, guarantee that they receive a fair price for their goods, and
assure that their crafts are created under good working conditions without child
labor. Buyers for Ten Thousand Villages help the artisans create modern, inventive
designs for consumer tastes that still preserve the traditional skills of craftsman-
ship that have been passed down through the ages.

changes to the Justices depending on which party was in control at the time. In
1851 the people voted to begin the process of electing judges and they have been
elected from that time forward. Justice Kennedy told the club that the backbone
of Ohio’s judicial system is the municipal court where 2.3 out of 3.0 million cases
are heard each year. Common Pleas hear another 600,000 cases, and the Court of
Appeals hear 9,000. The Supreme Court is presented with about 2,000 cases each
year, and writes opinions on a nearly 300 of those cases. Ohio has seven Justices
on the Supreme Court and they serve six year terms in office. The Justice is able to
run for office until the age of 70, and can serve as Judge until the age of 72. Justice
Kennedy started her career in law as a police officer. Justice Kennedy closed her re-
marks by thanking the Rotarians for their service around the globe and also in our
local communities. Ruth Wieland, Stryker Rotary President, on the left is pictured

Fairgrounds. There, third graders had the opportunity to
learn more about the world of agriculture and even got to
participate in various activities throughout the day. The
Fayette officer team provided chickens, rabbits, a pig,
horse, and a dairy calf for this event. The children had a
lot of fun being able to see and pet the animals. This was
also a great learning opportunity for not only the third
graders, but even the teachers and chaperones as well.

Evergreen Vikings Shutout Delta Panthers 32-0

September 29th, 2017 PHOTOS BY BILL O’CONNELL, STAFF

Evergreen 32 Delta 0
Quarterback Jack Etue was 10/20 passing
for 107 yards with three touchdowns and the
Vikings defense turned in a stellar performance
holding Delta to just 61 yards of total offense as
they earned their first NWOAL win of the season.
Evergreen used two long drives in the first half
to take a 12-0 lead at halftime, the first drive be-
ing 12 plays going 77 yards resulting in an Etue
to Nick Beemer 13-yard touchdown pass and the
second an 11 play 80-yard drive ending with 17-
yard scoring strike from Etue to Free Canales.
Running back Hunter VanWert started the scor-
ing in the second half with a 7-yard run for a
score, part of his 25 carries for 187 yards and a
touchdown on the night. Trent Coopshaw added
a 41-yard touchdown run and Etue would throw
another scoring pass in the 4th quarter as the
Vikings pulled away. Delta was led offensively by
running back Travis Dunning who ran the ball 17
times good for 47 yards. JD Osborn was their top
tackler with nine on the night, seven unassisted
and two assisted. Evergreen (1-2 in the NWOAL,
3-3 overall) will host Patrick Henry (1-2, 2-4) this
week for Homecoming while Delta (0-3, 1-5) is on
the road at Bryan (1-2, 2-4).

about to score to seal the game but the Tigers
stopped Bueter at the 1-yard line on a fourth and

alive. With 1:20 to go and the Tigers at their own

Sonnenberg but Indians linebacker Matt Malone
read it perfectly and picked it off and returned it
38 yards for the touchdown to wrap up the win
for Wauseon. Wauseon’s passing game was on
target with Yackee going 9/13 for 198 yards and
two touchdowns with Owen Newlove his favorite
target. The 6’ 4” senior wide receiver pulled in 6
catches for 128 yards and a touchdown. Bueter
lead the Indians rushing attack with 9 carries
for 90 yards and two scores. Liberty Center, who
was playing without the services of running back
North West, was led in rushing by Carpenter who
had 17 carries for 86 yards and two touchdowns.
The Indians (2-1 in the NWOAL, 5-1 overall) re-
