The last regular meet-ing of the West Unity VillageCouncil lasted only approxi-mately thirteen minutes asthere was no legislative mat-ters or new items of businessneeding addressed by coun-cil. Council did hear a reportfrom Village AdministratorRic Beals, who informedcouncil that the "No Park-ing" sign has been posted asrequested on East JacksonStreet in front of Subway

and Main Stop. The signswill hopefully deter trucksfrom parking alongside thestreet, which creates a safetyhazard. "Slow - Children

Playing" signs have also beenposted on West Rings Streetas requested.

Beals's report also in-cluded that he is currentlyworking with Little Leaguerepresentatives and contrac-tors on the fence construc-tion at Daft park. Initial bidshave been very high so thevillage is looking at scalingback the project and solicit-ing additional bids. KamcoIndustries has also recentlyinstalled a 4" waterline fromthe village's main to thebuilding on Oak Street in or-der to meet additional waterneeds. The village was ableto provide Kamco with the4" meter from the old schooland has waived the usualtap fee due to the village nothaving to do any of the workneeded to install the line.

Other items included inthe report were that the de-molition of the home at 307E. Jackson Street has beencompleted and that studentsfrom the Four County Ca-reer Center have been strip-ping and waxing the oor at

the Kissell building. Bealscommented that the workis done at a minimal cost tothe village, which only paysfor supplies, and that he has

been impressed by the jobthat the students have donein the past.

Beals would also like toremind all residents that leafcollection has concluded andthat all citizens will need tobag leaves and set them atthe curb from now on.

Police Chief J.R. Joneswould also like to remindall residents that the wintersnows have set in and thatthis sometimes requires ex-tra precautions to be takenfrom everyone in order tokeep everyone safe. Jones isreminding everyone to keepsidewalks cleaned and salted

to prevent slips and falls andto bear in mind the road con-ditions while driving.

The next regularly sched-uled meeting of the WestUnity Village Council will beheld on Monday December30, 2013 at 5:30 p.m as op-posed to 7:30 p.m. as previ-ously stated.

WILLIAMS & FULTON COUNTY AREA LOCAL POLICE, EMS & FIRE REPORTSKEEPING READERS NOTIFIED OF LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT, FIRE, COURT & CRIME STOPPER ACTIVITIES


Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine announcedthat a Williams County man was found guilty todayof raping three children.

Daniel Bignell, 40, made an Alford plea to threecounts of rape in Williams County Common PleasCourt this morning. Williams County CommonPleas Court Judge J.T. Stelzer then found him guiltyof the charges.

The plea happened in the midst of his jury trial,which started Monday.

Bignell was indicted in September after an in-vestigation by the Williams County Sheriffs Ofcerevealed that he had raped three children over aperiod of 11 years. The crimes happened between2001 and 2010 and began when the children were13-years-old or younger.

Investigators began looking at Bignell after one

of the victims, who is now an adult, came forward.That is very courageous, said Attorney GeneralDeWine.

The case is being prosecuted by attorneys fromthe Attorney Generals Special Prosecutions Section.

Bignell will be sentenced on January 9, 2014, andcould receive up to 30 years in prison.

Williams County Man FoundGuilty Of Raping Children

[Wauseon, OH] This holiday season, Fulton Countypolice will be out in force cracking down on drunk driversthroughout the region with aggressive Drive Sober or GetPulled Over enforcement. From Dec. 13, 2013, to Jan. 1,2014, state and local law enforcement will be watching fordrunk drivers to help keep roads safe for holiday travelers.

Fulton County Safe Communities and Fulton CountyLaw Enforcement is giving fair warning to all partygoers.Youll see us making lots of stops during this highly vis-ible enforcement period and if we suspect anyone is driv-ing while intoxicated, ofcers will show zero tolerance fordrunk driving, said Fulton County Sheriff Roy Miller.

Unfortunately, the excitement and celebrations of theholiday season can lead to terrible decisions-- and seriouslegal consequences.

Data shows that the holiday season is a particularlydeadly time due to the increased number of drunk driverson the roads, and all Fulton County Law Enforcement are

prepared to stop and arrest any drunk driver they see tokeep roads safe.

Nationally, in the Decembers from 2007 to 2011 therewere 4,169 people killed in crashes that involved driverswith blood Alcohol concentrations of .08 grams per decili-ter or higher.

The December holiday season is the most wonderfultime of the year, and we are going to keep our roads safe

for travelers heading to visit friends and family, said Sher-iff Miller. This holiday, we will show zero tolerance fordrunk drivers on the road. If you choose to drive drunk,we will see you, we will stop you, and you will be arrested.

Drunk drivers often face jail time, the loss of their driv-er licenses, higher insurance rates, and dozens of otherunanticipated expenses ranging from attorney fees, courtcosts, car towing and repairs, to lost wages due to time offfrom work. Even worse, a drunk driver can cause a trafccrash that claims someones life, or their own.

Please follow these tips to keep the holidays safe andhappy:

Even one drink can impair your judgment andincrease the risk of getting arrested for driving drunkorworse, the risk of having a crash while driving.

If you will be drinking, do not plan on driving. Planahead; designate a sober driver before the party begins.

If you have been drinking, do not drive. Call a so-

ber friend or family member. Be responsible. If someone you know is drinking,

do not let that person get behind the wheel. If you see an impaired driver on the road, contact

law enforcement. Your actions may save someones life,and inaction could cost a life.

Remember, it is never safe to drink and drive: Drive So-ber or Get Pulled Over.
