Start the school year off right by giving your kids a breakfast they’ll love that also provides the protein they need to kick-start their day…….
(Family Features) Most parents know the first few weeks of school season and new daily routines can be hectic. From stocking up on school supplies to finishing up homework, there’s few unused minutes in the day.
One thing that’s particularly easy to forget in the mad dash to catch the bus or make it to morning drop-off is a well-balanced, protein-packed breakfast. According to a No Kid Hungry study, when students have a balanced breakfast in the morning, they are more likely to attend school and perform better on standardized tests.
Start the school year off right by giving your kids a breakfast they’ll love that also provides the protein they need to kick-start their day. Recipes like Simple Ham and Waffle Breakfast Sandwiches or Baked Eggs in Avocado can be ready in minutes and provide fuel long past the first morning school bell.
As a simple time-saver, Smithfield offers pre-diced, cubed and sliced ham that can make breakfast a breeze any day of the week. Incorporate it into a simple breakfast sandwich for a protein boost you can enjoy on-the-go. Served crispy or chewy depending on your preference, Thick Cut Bacon also puts a savory spin on nearly any breakfast plate, whether paired with eggs and avocado or a simple side of toast.

Tip: Try spreading fruit jam on your sandwich for a change of pace.

Matthew Oestreich, Wood County Auditor, has announced the distribution of the Real Estate, Public Utility tax, and Special Assessments for the second 
half 2018 settlement.
A total of $84,965,393 was collected and distributed including $2,341,637 for special assessments. In addition $9,035,755 is to be reimbursed from the State Income Tax Funds, $6,229,285 in non-business credit, $964,092 in owner-occupied credit, and $1,842,378 in homestead exemption monies. These represent tax reductions for qualifying properties.
The Board of Developmental Disabilities requested that the 2.95 mill voted developmental disabilities levy collection be reduced to collect 1.48 mills for this year due to sufficient fund balance. This provided tax relief of $51 annually on a $100,000 home.
Wood County currently maintains 75,259 individual land parcels of record and distributes the taxes to eighteen school districts, nineteen townships, and twenty-six cities and villages.
Wood County has over 100,000 individual special assessments, which are distributed to regional, county, municipal and township governments. Examples include ditch construction and maintenance, sewer and water systems, street lighting, street cleaning, and tree maintenance programs.
Totals for the second half revenue distribution are as follows:

From weekly meetings to extracurricular activities and weekend sports, try using lists and charts to stay organized…..
(Family Features) Just when it seems like you have gotten into your summer groove, it’s time to get back into your school routine, which can be cause both relief and stress at the same time for parents and students alike. Even if your kids are fairly adaptable, big changes like heading back to school after a summer of limited scheduling can be stressful.
Head off potential problems as you transition into the busy back-to-school season with these family-friendly tips to get everyone back on the school-time track:
Set a Family Schedule
Rather than rushing into school season all at once, try to plan your schedule ahead of time. Easing into school season can make for a much smoother transition. This means gradually tapering off later bedtimes and enforcing an earlier wake up call. If meal times have gotten lax, it’s also a good idea to start working back toward your school-time schedule.
Pack Easier
Getting everyone up and on their way can be one of the greatest challenges on school days. Serve breakfast, pack lunches and make it out the door with a cup of still-hot coffee with an option like the Chinet Comfort Cup insulated hot cup. It’s designed to help keep drinks the perfect temperature while remaining cool to the touch, and with the snap-and-go lid, you can avoid messes during busy mornings.
Stay Organized
From weekly meetings to extracurricular activities and weekend sports, try using lists and charts to stay organized. Especially as kids grow older and their activities lists and school deadlines expand, keeping track of everyone can become a real chore. Find a place in the house where you can post calendars and lists that everyone can see. Try color-coding by child or type of activity (school, work, sports, etc.) for extra organization.
List Family Goals
Have each person in the family list out his or her goals for this school year. They can be small or challenging, but it can give everyone something to strive for. It’s also a good way to remind kids about family values like encouraging one another and making time to support everyone’s individual interests.
Buy Supplies Ahead of Time
Don’t wait until the last minute to search for school supplies like notebooks, pencils and paper or the bigger ticket items like backpacks. Seeking out necessary items ahead of time can alleviate the stress of not being able to find what you need, and spreading out purchases over time can eliminate a major one-time hit to the family budget.

Village to hire new Police Chief…
By Sue Miklovic
The Village Council met last Tuesday for the first of two regularly scheduled meetings for August. All members were present.
Among the topics discussed was the hiring of a replacement for Police Chief Allan Baer who is leaving the village after almost 11 years of service.
Village Administrator Allyson Murray asked for a motion to authorize her to advertise for the Police Chief position. Council was not in favor of doing that until they had the opportunity to see if anyone qualified already within that department was interested in the job.
“I think we need to look at an interim position” said Councilman Matt Beegle. Councilman Ty Carles suggested hiring from within with a probationary period, “Like we did for the Water Superintendent position.” Mayor Goldner added, “We have people who are qualified and interested inside the Village”
The mayor said, “Chief Baer has given exemplary service to the Village. He was truly an asset and will be sorely missed.”
Other conversations and topics of note:
%- Income tax receipts for July 2018 are up 15% compared to July 2017.
%- The returned check fee has been changed to $30.00
%-Allyson Murray is seeking bill payment options to accommodate those who would like to pay water bills online.
%-The Village will continue its agreement with the NB Local School District to provide a SRO( School Resource Officer)This is a win-win for the village and the school.
% The Village authorized the Administrator to advertise for an open position in the water/sewer department.
%- The village is recommending that customers do NOT place CASH in the night drop box.
%-The Council members voiced their disappointment with the lack of quality workmanship on the ADA upgrades to the concession stand in the park. Council paid $13,000—1/4th of the total cost for the Community Development Block Grant project. “We were scammed” said Councilman Aaron Patterson.
%- V.A. Murray and Public Works Superintendent Doug Wickard have compiled a street inventory for the purpose of developing a plan to pay for much need improvements.
%- Councilman Matt Beegle suggested the village declare the Saturday in June before Village-Wide trash Pick be named “Garage Sale Day”
%-Councilman Aaron Patterson announced that he had received a copy of the contract from Skip Baltz, representing the NB Masonic Lodge, in regards to the long standing Recycling Program in NB.
%- A special meeting was scheduled to immediately follow the Council of the Whole meeting on August 14th.
%-Dalton Teaford, NBHS Student Representative on the Village Council was thanked for his service. His term is now complete, since he is a Senior, and the position is to be held by a Junior. (Editor’s note: He did an outstanding job! Typically when the school year ends in the Spring, the student is finished. Dalton had the desire to continue throughout the Summer months as well. Well Done, Dalton!)
The regular meeting was adjourned and followed by an executive session for the purpose of discussing Employee Compensation.
