Wyandot County Commissioners Ed Kuenzli, Joyce Morehart and Mike Wheeler helped Wyandot County Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center kick off National Nursing Home Week, observed this week, on Monday with a balloon launch and proclamation.
"Many nursing home residents are the people who planted the seeds that have made our community grow stronger," Kuenzli said. "They have been teachers, the business people, the parents and other central figures who produced all of the good things that we now enjoy. This week gives us a chance to honor these special residents, as well as the families, staff, volunteers and community.
"Wyandot County Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center will be holding several activities with their residents and give them a chance to shine. These stirring events will feature residents, as well as staff, and will give a nod to (a) bygone era as well as reveal the extraordinary talents of their residents," Kuenzli said.

New school issue in Carey going to the voters
By ALISSA PAOLELLA
Staff writer
CAREY - The Carey Exempted Village School District Board of Education heard an update from superintendent Mark Vehre at its regular meeting Monday evening to move forward with plans to build a new school, if the issue is passed by voters at the polls in November, in conjunction with the Ohio School Facilities Commission.
"We do not need a resolution at this time," Vehre said. "What we needed to do was make a commitment. ... We’re looking at renovating the current facility or pursuing a new school facility. At this time, we’re looking to pursue (a new facility). ... We are following timelines designed by OSFC. We have to commit one way or the other.
"We saw through the survey and the costs we’ve seen associated with building new, it’s not practical to (renovate) this facility," Vehre said.
The board accepted the resignation of varsity girls basketball coach Tom Lee after 14 years at the helm of the program.
"(Lee is) dealing with personal and health issues," Vehre said. "Lee was deciding whether to stay or not stay in the program. I respect his issues with his health and I’m not pursuing any other thing with that."
Treasurer Karen Phillips presented the board with the five-year forecast, check register and financial reports.

Nevada Council looks to scoop up the mess of dogs
By AARON KORTE
Editor
NEVADA - Nevada Village Council could be stepping into a messy issue next month.
Council has asked village solicitor Charles Hall to draw up an ordinance regarding dog owners cleaning up after their pets when away from their property.
Councilwoman Diane Morgan said the leash ordinance seemed to nip the problem with loose dogs and one for the dog feces also could clean up the mess.
Hall expressed a concern about another ordinance being put in place that lacks bite due to a lack of enforcement.
"We have open burning laws being ignored. We have dogs loose ordinances that are being ignored," Hall said. "We have a list of park regulations that are being ignored. And now you want to add a dog manure ordinance that’s probably going to be ignored. It’s simple to pass an ordinance but..."
"Getting it enforced is different," Councilman Dave Brunson said.
Councilman Allen Irvin said the ordinance has to be on the books if the village ever hopes to have the sheriff’s office enforce it.
