STRYKER: March 18, 2014-The

Stryker High School Chapter of theNational Honor Society held their annualmeeting on March 18, welcoming six newmembers to the Stryker Chapter. Thestudents selected for the Stryker HighSchool, 2014 induction are: SeniorsMegan Neville and Kyle Rohrs; JuniorsAmy Chappuis, Zach Tingley, TannerClingaman and Katie Yoder.

The National Honor Society wasestablished in 1921 and is the Nationspremier organization established torecognize outstanding high schoolsstudents who demonstrate excellencein the areas of scholarship, leadership,service and character. According tothe National Honor Societies website(www.nhs.us), four main purposes have

guided the chapters of the NHS fromthe beginning: to create enthusiasmfor scholarship; to stimulate a desire torender service; to promote leadership;and to develop character in the studentsof secondary schools. These purposesalso are used by chapters as establishedcriteria for membership selection intoeach local chapter.

At Stryker High School Katie Jimenezserves as the NHS Advisor and is assistedin her duties by faculty membersMelanie Baldwin, Shane Marshall,Donneen Dyess, Mike Donovan, andPrincipal David Schultz. Using thecriteria set forth above, Katie Jimenezand her committee reviewed this yearscandidates by closely scrutinizingeach students overall record and by

comparing the students achievementsin the four categories set forth by theNHS.

Each category is explained as follows:Scholarship represents the academiccomponent of National Honor Societyinduction requirements. The nationalorganization recommends a B average,meaning an 85 percent on a 100-pointscale or a 3.0 on a 4.0 grade point averagescale. However, the faculty advisersat each school can choose higherscholarship standards. The scholarshipportion of the NHS requirements is therst cut for applicants; faculty will notconsider any student who does not meetthese academic requirements.

National Honor Society hopefuls must

also demonstrate service to the school,their church or community to join theorganization. Students can showcasethis service experience by participatingin individual service projects after

school or on weekends.Students interested in joining

the National Honor Society must

demonstrate leadership capabilitiesas well. They can show leadership byearning roles as captains of sportsteams or executive councils of clubs.According to the National Honor Societywebsite, leadership also includes theability to solve problems, contributeideas, and be resourceful. Studentscan look beyond school extracurricularactivities for leadership opportunitiesand nd them in their community.

Students also must demonstratea strong character to be inducted intothe National Honor Society. They candisplay their character by followingschool rules and staying out of trouble.A NHS inductee can further show strongcharacter by demonstrating honesty,reliability, courtesy, and respect;

students should demonstrate ateachable spirit and a genuine interestto learn and grow.

With theVillages last sanitary sewer loan paymentexpected in July, future allotments tothe department could be eliminated andpercentages to General and Capital OutlayFunds be adjusted accordingly.

With a motion onthe table, Council went on to approverepairs to the Village backhoe as initiallysubmitted.

A Tasty Tap In Montpelier, Ohio

By: Jennifer Manlove


Even though Montpelier missed out

on the rst place win at the 24th annual

Berkeley Springs International Water

Tasting Competition in West Virginia,

they did place. Montpelier was named as

a Clean Water Winner. They say it was abattle of titans and The Best Municipal

Water Award went to Montpelier who

tied with Dickinson, ND. Montpelier is

not a stranger to this competition, the

Village has won rst-place honors for

the municipal water on three separate

occasions: in 2003, 2006, and 2007.

The entries were judges from 18

states, three Canadian provinces, 12

foreign nations and ve continents.

The top winner again this year was a

Canadian competitor from Clearbrook,

B.C. The ten media judges selected by

Klein Rone included representatives

from various regional and national

media including television and online

magazines. They were instructed by

von Wiesenberger to look, sniff, and

taste each water under guidelines

similar to those in a wine tasting.

The water is rated on several criteria.

First is the appearance. It needs to beclear or slightly opaque for the glacial

waters. The aroma of the water is also

considered, of which there should be

none. The taste needs to be clean, light,

and make you thirsty for more.

For anyone who is interested,

the 25th annual Berkeley Springs

International Water Tasting is scheduled

for Saturday, February 21, 2015. For

more information on Berkeley Spring,

you can check out their website www.

By: Jennifer ManloveTHE VILLAGE REPORTER

Recently a local resident contactedthe Montpelier Police Department in re-gards to a potential scam that claims po-lice ofcers benet from the funds. Theorganization is called Police ProtectionFund and, while it is an actual organi-zation, the majority of the funds thatthey take in do not actually help ofcers.The funds raised are supposed to go topay death benets for ofcers killed inthe line of duty. The organization usestele-marketers to seek out donations fortheir cause. Legally, the calls cannot bestopped the way other marketing callscan under federal and state do-not-calllaws because non-prot groups are ex-

empt. However, it is important to re-member that just because they have thelegal status of a non-prot charity does

not make them legitimate. There are amass amount of scam charities that col-lect millions with little money actuallygoes to their causes.

The Better Business Bureau has aWise Giving Alliance Program. This pro-gram reports that they requested infor-mation from the Police Protection Fundbut they have not responded. The pro-gram reports on national charities and

determines if they meet 20 voluntarystandards on matters such as char-ity nances, appeals, and governance.The participation is voluntary but whena charity fails to participate it lacks acommitment to transparency. Withoutthe requested information, the Alliancecannot determine if this charity adheresto the Standards for Charity Account-ability.

The Montpelier Police Departmentmade a statement saying that they donot endorse this group and would notrecommend your donation to them. Theycontribute nothing to our agency and ifthey pose as representatives of our agen-cy it is false. It is our recommendationthat you contribute to specic memori-als for fallen ofcers if you so choose.
