A special spring at Country Lane Tree Farm By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The annual spring Easter event at the Country Lane Tree Farm this year will be especially poignant for owners John and Melissa Bowlander. Called the Easter Bunny hayride/egg hunt and baby animal tour – and scheduled for March 24, 25 and 31 - it will be the first event at the farm since a fire last month. The farm will be open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. those days. “The spring event has always been something special we do for families,” Melissa said. “They can come and celebrate spring at our farm. We have a hay wagon that takes them to an egg patch where the kids can collect eggs for candy. The Easter Bunny will be here for pictures and they can hold baby ducks, chicks and bunnies. We have baby lambs that were just born and baby goats. There will be pony rides, a barrel-train ride and hay climb. It’s been growing in popularity. I think people just want to get out after the winter.” The Bowlanders have been operating the farm for 27 years and Melissa says they were determined to not let the fire stop them from continuing. According to Mike Musolf, chief of the Allen-Clay Joint Fire District, the blaze was reported about 2:12 a.m. on Feb. 20. When firefighters arrived a barn structure had collapsed and another building was burning. Crews were at the scene for about three hours and were able to protect a third building from the fire. But six goats, including four babies, were killed as were several chickens and other fowl. Fortunately, the farm’s cows were not seriously injured. One day after the fire, Melissa said she and her husband and their two children, John, Jr., and Alexandria, decided the best way to ease the Chase Johnson holds a young turkey at the Country Lane Continued on page 4 Tree Farm.

An East Toledo man was arraigned at the Lucas County Court of Common Pleas on March 14 after being indicted for the alleged rape, gross sexual imposition, and abduction of a woman who was shopping at Goodwill on Navarre Avenue in Oregon. Jesus L. Escalara, Sr., of 523 Potter Street, pled not guilty. On Feb. 21, Escalara allegedly entered a dressing room at Goodwill, 3249 Navarre Ave., and sexually assaulted a 29 year old female customer who had been trying on clothes in a dressing room at approximately 11:30 a.m. The suspect was told by the woman to leave, according to a report from the Oregon Police Department. He did, but came back a couple of seconds later. The suspect asked the woman for a lighter. She gave him one, and told him to leave. The suspect continued to stand in front of the door blocking the woman from exiting. He was mumbling, but she couldn’t understand what he was saying, according to the report. When the woman gave him a lighter, he exposed himself to her, according to the report. The suspect then asked the victim to perform a sexual act on him for $16. The woman states the suspect continued to “play with himself,” and that she continued to tell him to leave. The suspect then reached his hands down inside the woman’s underpants. The suspect leaned in close to the woman’s face and tried to kiss her. She felt him make contact on her lips, according to the police report. The woman was able to push the suspect away from her by placing her hands on his chest, continuing to tell him, “No.” After pushing the suspect away, the woman grabbed her purse, clothing off the rack and ran out of the dressing room. The woman told her friend, who was sitting outside the dressing room, “We have to go.” The woman told others inside the Goodwill store there was a guy inside the dressing room trying to rape her and he had exposed himself. There was a patron of the

Young bird watchers, you can get into the act, too By Katie Siebenaller Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com

Birders of all ages enjoyed the Ohio Young Birders Club sponsored young birder walk at Magee Marsh during the 2017 Biggest Week in American Birding. (photo submitted from Black Swamp Bird Observatory). month of October, the individual chapters will host their own local Big Sit or Big Day event. At these events, people pledge money for every species of bird spotted. At a Big Sit, birds are viewed from one location, whereas at a Big Day multiple locations are viewed from throughout the event. All of the proceeds are employed to help educate young people about birds, the importance of being good stewards to the environment and utilizing natural resources responsibly. Camps, classes and workshops The OYBC offers scholarships, allowing members to attend other camps, classes and workshops as well. These scholarships are funded by OYBC partners, private donations, and proceeds from special fundraising events. OYBC membership offers young people opportunities to develop creative and professional skills as well. Students are encouraged to submit articles, artwork, poetry and photographs to Golden-Wings, a print newsletter made up entirely of student-submitted content. And the Annual Ohio Young Birders Conference presents students with a chance to conquer the challenge of public speaking through presentations to audiences of more than 100 people. The Annual Ohio Young Birders Conference is the OYBC’s keystone event. In 2006, the inaugural conference represented the first of its kind, hosting presentations all given by students 18 and under. Drawing participants of all ages from Ohio and beyond, the conference features a keynote address by a regional, national or international youth conservation leader. This unique event is open to non-members and invites families to attend.

...an impressive number of the students who have ‘graduated’ from the OYBC program have gone on to pursue careers in conservation, birding and sciencerelated fields.

“

During The Biggest Week In American Birding, visitors to northwest Ohio will find birders of all ages, including the youth members of the Ohio Young Birders Club (OYBC). The OYBC will be organizing two young birders walks at Magee Marsh. These walks are free and open to all young people. You need not be a member of the OYBC to attend. In May 2006, members of Black Swamp Bird Observatory (BSBO) education staff brought together a group of six young birders from across the state to discuss forming a club for youth interested in birds and nature. The Ohio Young Birders Club was formed as a result, and has been a program of BSBO’s ever since. Open to students ages 12-18, as well as supporting adult members, the Ohio Young Birders Club has grown from its starting six to over 200 members. The club strives to create a community for young nature enthusiasts, and to encourage, educate, and empower our youth conservation leaders. The OYBC is comprised of five chapters in total: NW Ohio, NE Ohio, Central Ohio, SW Ohio, and Holmes-Wayne County. Partners of these chapters include the Columbus Audubon Society, Cleveland Metroparks, Toledo Metroparks, and the Amish communities in Holmes and Wayne counties. “What I hear most from participants is that the OYBC provides them with the opportunity to connect with other young birders,” says Laura Guerard, BSBO’s Education Director and statewide coordinator for the OYBC. “For some, they may be the only young birder in their grade at school or in their community of friends. The OYBC fosters an environment of acceptance, where students find connections with other students who have a similar passion for nature and birds. It is incredibly heartwarming to watch friendships spark and grow through participation in field trips and statewide outings. Many members also participate in summer camps and connect with young birders and nature enthusiasts from across the nation — and other countries too — and develop life-long friendships.” Adriana Losey, a student member active in the Central Ohio Chapter says, “[The] OYBC allows me to connect with other teenagers that share a common interest. It’s a nice break from school life,” In addition to participating in The Biggest Week, the OYBC offers adventures all over the state of Ohio, including a winter birding by boat trip on Lake Erie, birding by kayak, and many fun and interesting field trips. Student members are involved in choosing locations and making these plans. The OYBC is in the process of planning out-of-state outings, hopefully to give young birders the opportunity to experience locations they might not be able to travel to on their own. Each chapter of the OYBC also participates in at least one community service project every year. This year, members have helped remove invasive species from a critically endangered habitat, built nest boxes for The Barn Owl Project, and designed, implemented and monitored a bluebird trail, amongst other projects. To support the OYBC, its members seek pledges and donations for their annual Big Sit & Big Day fundraisers. During the

Since its inception, the Ohio Young Birders Club has paved the way for the formation of similar programs across the country. “As the founder of the OYBC, this country’s first young birders club, Black Swamp Bird Observatory receives many requests for information on how to start a young birders club,” Guerard states. Using their OYBC model, BSBO has mentored 16 states in establishing like programs, greatly expanding its impact on today’s youth and the future of birding and conservation. Black Swamp Bird Observatory’s success with the OYBC eventually led to a partnership with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology (CLO) in 2012. With its partners at CLO, BSBO created the Young Birders Network (YBN), which aims to provide resources for young birders, as well as

giving their adult advocates a platform to encourage and support them. The network, geared for ages 12-18, does provide some resources that may aid younger birders and college students too. The YBN also features the Young Birders Club Toolkit, a resource for anyone wishing to start a local birding club. “A real indication of the success of the program’s goals is reflected in the fact that an impressive number of the students who have ‘graduated’ from the OYBC program have gone on to pursue careers in conservation, birding and science-related fields,” Guerard affirms. It is clear that the benefits of the program do not end once students have, as Guerard puts it, “graduated.” Through participation in the OYBC program, members are not only focused on the present, but given many possibilities for careers after leaving the program. Presley Riggs, another student member, confirms, “[The] OYBC has helped me explore and grow my birding passion with other young birders locally and across the state. It has guided me in seeking out career choices in this area for the future.” “My son has grown up with OYBC,” says Liz Rising. “This club has been the pathway for him to meet friends across the state that share his interest in birds, connect with mentors, and find fun opportunities to explore Ohio. There’s no question that he has more knowledge and feels rooted in the Ohio birding community because of the dedicated effort of OYBC.” Black Swamp Bird Observatory is located at 13551 SH-2, Oak Harbor.

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Some walked; others held a moment of silence. Some read the names of the 17 victims of the shooting a month ago at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. In varying ways, area students Wednesday took part in a national demonstration against gun violence in schools. At 10 a.m. on the campus of Lake Local Schools, the names of the Parkland victims were read and there was a moment of silence. “The service lasted 17 minutes for the 17 victims,” said superintendent Jim Witt. “This was not a political walkout. We were not advocating gun control; this was a memorial service in which we were honoring those victims who lost their lives, and we were standing together against school violence. “At our middle school and elementary school we encouraged kids to walk up rather than walk out. The concept being to walk up to someone and be kind in some way, shape or form.”

Opioid update Thursday

Eastwood At the Eastwood School District, about 80 high school students gathered for an observance that also ended at 10:17 a.m. “We are fortunate to have great kids who handled themselves well,” said Brent Welker, superintendent. Gibsonburg Instead of a walkout, students in the Gibsonburg district took 17 minutes to reflect on the shooting in Parkland. “We took the opportunity to make this an educational opportunity. We did different things in the two buildings, but we did not have students walk out,” said Tim Murray, superintendent. Woodmore Woodmore High School students planned a period of silence to stand in solidarity with the Parkland victims and students across the nation, said superintendent Tim Rettig. “Our staff and administration worked with our students on ways to show support for Parkland, Florida as well as support the movement to find ways to stop these terrible acts. Kudos to our kids for working with us. It is another place our kids of Woodmore show they are students of integrity. We hope to continue to work together with our students, staff, and community to prevent these terrible acts from happening,” he said. Benton-Carroll-Salem Approximately 50 students at Oak Harbor High School walked out around 10 a.m. for 17 minutes, according to superintendent Guy Parmigian.

Elevator upgrade a priority for grant By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A grant of $150,000 in the state’s latest capital appropriations budget bill for renovating the Genoa Civic Theatre will help pay for a variety of projects, mayor Ken Harsanje says, but a majority of the funding will be used to upgrade the elevator. “We have to get the elevator fixed. If we don’t get it repaired then we can’t do much in the building,” the mayor said. “That’s the priority and we’re expecting it to cost about $100,000.” After passing in the House of Representatives, the appropriations bill was referred last week to the Senate Finance Committee. Rep. Steve Arndt and Sen. Randy Gardner included the grant in the bill. “It’s getting hard to find parts for the

elevator. The company that takes care of it does the best it can. It gets inspected every year and we have to pass a load test every October. But it’s time to have it upgraded. We also need to do some repairs on the bell tower and install new carpeting in the theater,” mayor Harsanje said. “Some of the tiling also needs to be replaced and the walls need to be painted.” The village plans to use its own funds for roof and gutter repairs, he said. The theatre is located in the upper floor of the Genoa Town Hall building, which is listed in the National Register of Historical Places. According to the theatre website, an exterior renovation was completed in 1979, including rebuilding of the bell tower and ornamental chimneys, replacement of the slate roof and restoration of the window glass. The entrances were also made handi-

capped-accessible. With the village observing its sesquicentennial this year, members of the civic theatre are planning to stage some brief plays during the homecoming celebration, the mayor said. “Instead of a long play, they will do some 25- or 30-minute skits. They’re going to come up with some ideas,” he said. Rep. Arndt said he and Sen. Gardner met with village officials in December to discuss the theatre’s needs. “Civic and state theaters represent a special carve-out in the capital appropriations bill and don’t fall under any one agency budget,” he said. “These are very competitive projects for the funding. There are very narrow and finite criteria for the funds.” In Erie County, the Sandusky State Theatre is to receive $125,000 if the bill passes the senate and is signed by Gov. John Kasich.

Rape suspect of Goodwill shopper arraigned store who used her cell phone to video the suspect, as he was fleeing the store. The suspect walked outside the front doors and proceeded east, then to the north behind the Kroger Store. Teamwork Paul Magdich, assistant chief of the Oregon Police Department, praised the teamwork of his officers for tracking down the suspect soon after he fled the store. “The suspect fled prior to the arrival of our officers, but that’s what makes this a great story, with regard to the teamwork and persistence that led to an apprehension,” said Magdich, who described on the Oregon Police Department’s Facebook page how police found the suspect. Oregon Det. Mike Blazevich and Sgt. Tony Castillo, who were in Yorktown Village behind the business, responded to the dispatcher’s call. Blazevich noticed a vehicle leaving the area shortly after the dispatch communication and recorded its description and registration. Det. Larry George arrived to the

Goodwill site to collect evidence, while Det. Janet Zale monitored the radio transmission from her office. Zale conducted research on her computer and located another Oregon address Escalara that was associated with the registered owner of the vehicle. She shared the information with Det. Sgt. Kelly Thibert, who was also out looking for the vehicle. Thibert drove by the residence but the vehicle in question was not there. As she drove away, she spotted a vehicle fitting the description given by Blazevich in a restaurant parking lot. Blazevich and Castillo entered the restaurant and were able to identify one of two individuals they had seen in the vehicle in Yorktown Village. The individual told police he had given a lift to the suspect, who he said he did not know, and had dropped him off at the Dearborn Carryout in East Toledo, according to Magdich. Blazevich, Castillo and Thibert went

to the Dearborn Carryout, but the suspect was no longer there. Someone at the carryout told officers the suspect had gotten a ride to the Island Variety Store in the 700 block of Dearborn in East Toledo. At the Island Variety Store, the officers were told the suspect had called for a ride and was picked up. The officers were given a description of the vehicle that had picked him up. Officers also were able to view security video of the lot and view footage that included the vehicle in question. The registration was traced to an East Toledo address. “A check of the residence found that a registered sex offender was a resident, and that he bore a strong resemblance to our suspect,” said Magdich. The vehicle was located at the residence, but no one would come

to the door for the officers. Toledo had no officers available to assist Oregon, said Magdich. Blazevich contacted the U.S. Marshal’s service, which assisted in the apprehension of the suspect. The suspect was positively identified by the victim. “Now it doesn’t always work out like that, but man, it’s great when it does. It’s all about teamwork! said Magdich. Escalara was arrested and taken to the Lucas County jail. Escalara, a registered sex offender, has a prior record. He was convicted on October, 17, 2016, of gross sexual imposition, according to records from the Lucas County Sheriffs official website. A pretrial hearing for Escalara has been set for April 4 at 9 a.m. A bond hearing was also held on March 14. On count 1, Judge Gene A. Zmuda set bond at $100,000 and no 10 percent. On count 2, bond was set at $75,000 and no 10 percent. On count 3, bond was set at $100,000 and no 10 percent with electronic monitoring as a component of bond with a zone of exclusion and the court’s permission. Further, he is not to have any contact with the victim.

Ohio EPA issues covenant not to sue to Pilkington By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Pilkington North America, Inc. has received a covenant not to sue under the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency’s Voluntary Action Program (VAP) after the company investigated and remediated the East Broadway industrial warehouse property in Northwood. The 79.4 acre property, located at 1769 East Broadway, was first developed in 1924. In the late 1980s, the property was used as a glass grinding, polishing and finishing plant. The southwestern-most portion of the property is currently occupied by Mike’s Hauling and Demolition Co. where a new warehouse building was con-

structed, according to the Ohio EPA. Following standards developed by the Ohio EPA, a certified environmental professional was hired to assess the property and address areas of environmental concern. “Contaminants found on the property are common contaminants for old industrial properties, including volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds, hydrocarbons, metals and PCBs,” Dina Pierce, coordinator for the northwest and southwest districts of the Ohio EPA, told The Press last week. “All were at levels low enough to meet the standards for continued use for industrial or commercial activities.” Meets standard The property meets VAP require-

ments to be used for commercial or industrial uses. Higher standards must be met if the property were to be used for residential purposes, she said. “The risks for exposure are higher on a residential property, where people spend up to 24 hours a day and may be in direct contact with soils,” said Pierce. “At a business property, people are generally present 8 to 9 hours a day with little or no contact with soils.” The environmental covenant includes a prohibition on extraction or use of ground water under the site. “Groundwater on the site does contain contaminants that make it unsafe for potable uses,” said Pierce. “That area is served by a public drinking water system. The lower groundwater zone can be used for non-potable industrial purposes, such as heating and

cooling, quenching and fire suppression.” Protects owner A covenant not to sue protects the property owner or operator and future owners from being legally responsible to the State of Ohio for further environmental investigation and remediation relating to known releases. The protection applies only when the property is used and maintained according to the terms and conditions of the covenant. In the 22 years since Ohio EPA issued the first covenant not to sue under the VAP program, more than 12,300 acres of blighted land have been revitalized at more than 570 sites across the state, according to the EPA.

Keep cabin fever at bay with a trip to historic Chelsea There’s not a bad seat in the house. In fact, they’re all up close and personal. It’s an intimate experience at the Jeff Daniel’s Purple Rose Theater in Chelsea, Michigan. Every one of the theater’s 168 seats is 20 feet or less from the stage. It’s doubtful there’s a better venue for performance excellence than this special place on Park Street, just off Main Street and the city’s historic downtown. The theater is the brain child of Daniels, a celebrated actor who grew up in Chelsea and subscribes to the notion that a successful actor need not make Hollywood home base. The theater is housed in what was a used car and bus garage owned by Daniels’ grandfather. He bought the structure in 1989, renovated it complete with the look of 1930s theater decor, and donated it to the Purple Rose, a non-profit that’s the creative home for the Purple Rose Theater Company, “a creative home for theater artists to define our collective Midwestern voice.” That voice has been diverse and active, humorous and revealing, incisive and creative. And popular. Patrons routinely travel 90 miles or more to enjoy quality, professional productions at affordable ticket prices. In spring, master sleuth Sherlock Holmes meets genius artist Vincent van Gogh in “The Adventure of the Elusive Ear.” “Willow Run,” a personal story of four women among the 40,000 employees, mostly women, who turned out B-24 bombers during World War II, will fill the venue into next fall. The Purple Rose is a worthy destination in itself, but the small but inviting city of Chelsea offers so much more – entertainment, dining, fine lodging. The oft-praised Common Grill is just around the corner on Main Street offering “amazing” food and a “fine-dining experience in a hometown setting.” It’s a hands-down favorite among regulars to the Purple Rose, who stop in before and after performances. Those who want to make their visit even more leisurely can opt for a variety of overnight accommodations. TripAdvisor calls the Chelsea House Victorian Inn with its antique-laden rooms and renowned

Chelsea Michigan’s historic downtown is just two hours away and holds some keys to curing cabin fever this winter, including quality performances in the intimate Purple Rose Theater and great meals at The Common Grill.

For those who want excellent accommodations in a more modern atmosphere, there are the Baymont Inn Suites and Comfort Inn, among others. Expand the horizon to nearby Ann Arbor and the choices and opportunities multiply exponentially. If you’re looking for a great close-tohome adventure to break the winter doldrums, Chelsea and its Purple Rose may be just the right destination.

Image is short term, substance is for the long term Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden

“

Having real substance serves you for a lifetime. It’s never out of date and cannot be taken from you.

“

We are all influenced by image. The way things look can either attract, or repel us. Initial attraction to a potential boyfriend or girlfriend, deciding on where to eat out, choosing a car to buy, selecting clothes to wear, and even picking a place to live, are all impacted by image. Although you make initial judgments based on image, it is substance which is the basis of long-term decisions. You may decide to eat at an impressive looking restaurant. But if the food isn’t good, you won’t return. You may go on a first date based on appearances. But if you don’t like your companion’s personality, there won’t be a second date. You might buy a stylish, sporty car. But if it’s always breaking down, you will not be happy. You could move into an apartment in a fashionable neighborhood. But if you are surrounded by noisy neighbors, you’ll want to move as soon as possible. Substance is essential for long-term satisfaction. Substance provides contentment and contributes to happiness. Just as substance is important to you, it is also

important for you. Your image is how you project yourself. Your substance is your foundation. Ideally, your image is fully supported by substance. Having an image without substance is just like visiting a nice looking restaurant which serves bad food. Patronizing that establishment leaves you with a bad taste, vowing never to return. You want your image to be based on a solid foundation of substance. This is a powerful combination which creates a positive attraction force. Courtesy, respect, consideration, and integrity are all essential components of your substance. These solid character traits reinforce the positive image you want to project. Having real substance serves you for a lifetime. It’s never out of date and cannot be taken from you. Treating people with courtesy, dignity, and respect speaks volumes about the type of person you are. Being polite in your interactions with others brings out the best in people. You may encounter some who don’t appreciate your efforts, but fortunately these sour individuals are a small minority.

Long live the Jersey tomato

Our food system should cooperate with nature By Jim Hightower Food corporations and their academic cohorts keep trying to “make” an industrial tomato to rival Mother Nature’s product. And they keep failing. They might consider this instead: the Rutgers 250. It’s a revived version of the classic hybrid tomato bred in 1934 by Rutgers University and Campbell Soup. The Rutgers tomato’s excellent flavor and texture made it the variety choice for years, eventually accounting for 60 percent of all tomatoes grown commercially in the United States. But it fell out of favor in the 1960s, when big industrial growers in California and Florida switched to hard — and tasteless — tomatoes bred to withstand the crushing power of the harvesting machines they’d begun using. The Rutgers variety soon disappeared from grocery bins and was forgotten until 2009. That year — with the Good Food movement mushrooming and with consumers demanding that supermarkets sell truly flavorful tomatoes — plant breeders discovered that Campbell still had genetic material from the parent plants used 75 years earlier to develop the original Rutgers variety. Since then, they’ve been working with it again, using cross-breeding techniques that go back to Latin America’s pre-Columbian natives. Slowly but surely, they brought back the Rutgers and its natural flavor, glowingly described as “the very taste of summer.” The resurrected Rutgers tomato isn’t hard enough to be machine-harvested and shipped across country — which is one its major virtues. The fact that this tomato must be grown and marketed regionally is

Armed teachers To the editor: After reading the story about the public forum on school shootings, we must respectfully disagree with Oregon Police Chief Mike Navarre’s position that armed teachers are dangerous and are a risk to students. The assumption that a teacher or other school employee cannot be properly trained and trusted to stop an active killer is false. Teachers have the ability and intelligence to learn the skills needed and some have the motivation to risk their lives for the kids. In Parkland, Florida, the first four law enforcement officers to arrive on the scene did nothing to stop the killer. A teacher, however, did use his body as a human shield to protect children. That was the only tool he had, and he lost his life using it. Imagine if he’d had an effective tool to defend himself and those kids. Utah has allowed anyone with a concealed carry permit to carry in their schools for more than 15 years. That’s teachers and parents. They’re not even required to notify

the school administration. And in all those years, not a single student has been killed or even wounded by a gun. Rhode Island has a similar law. Ohio is a leader in training teachers. Through the Buckeye Firearms Foundation, the FASTER Program, (FasterSavesLives.org) has been training school personnel for five years. The training is intense and not only covers armed response to an active killer but also trauma care. How long did it take EMTs in Parkland to start helping victims? Unlike police officers who must be able to handle a wide range of situations from traffic accidents to burglary, investigations, teachers only need to be trained to a very narrow mission. And if Utah and Rhode Island have no problems with people who have very minimal training, just think of the benefit of having screened highly trained school personnel. Personnel who are required to meet minimum ongoing practice requirements, recurrent training, and pass the police firearms qualification test annually. Tom and Diana Skaff Curtice

Grain House: a monthly “destination” for treasure hunters By Tammy Walro Press Features Editor twalro@presspublications.com For Brittany Sinsel, making hand-painted signs was a fun creative outlet and a way to make a little extra money by selling her pieces at local craft markets. Early last year, she approached Michelle Wilson, owner of the Rustic Grounds coffee shop in downtown Genoa, about the possibility of consigning her signs at the shop, where Wilson showcased her own art and furniture pieces, along with those of other local artisans, in addition to brewing up coffee and other beverages. Though the consignment never worked, the women’s meeting may have turned out to be life-changing for Sinsel. “One day, Michelle called to tell me she was closing the business, and she wondered if I would be interested in taking over her lease,” Sinsel said. “She said she had seen that I was doing furniture and signs, and she loved my pieces. She also said the town had done an assessment and the townspeople were wanting a boutique-type store. She thought I’d be perfect for it.” “I was like…oh?” A busy stay-at-home mom of two young boys, Sinsel wasn’t interested in a full-time job running a store. Instead, she envisioned a once-a-month marketplace that would be more of an event – a place to go – than a boutique. “I knew a bunch of artists locally through local markets, so I contacted them to see if they were interested in joining a marketplace like this,” she said. “When I gathered them all together and pitched my idea, everybody was interested and excited about the idea.” In October, with the blessing and support of her husband, David, she took over the lease of the shop, located at 624 Main St. She planned the first marketplace at her new business – The Grain House Co. – in January. “When I put out my Facebook event, I was shocked to see more than 2,000 people expressed interest in coming to our grand opening,” she said. “Not that many showed up, obviously, but it was still a very good crowd – it was packed wall-to-wall on our opening night. “When we had our ribbon-cutting, the mayor mentioned that we had the biggest turnout for a ribbon-cutting that he’d ever seen for a downtown business,” she said. “It was a lot of work, but also so much fun,” she said. “And we made more than enough to cover overhead…and did well in February, too.” Shoppers and treasure hunters were excited to browse the eclectic mix of unique treasures – handmade and “found” items picked from estate sales or auctions, and sometimes on the side of the road, which are then lovingly restored

Brittany Sinsel, of Gibsonburg, opened The Grain House Co. in January at 624 Main St., Genoa. The once-a-month marketplace features an eclectic array of items handmade by Sinsel and her husband and other local artisans and craftsmen. (Press photo by Tammy Walro) and refinished or repurposed. “Sometimes my husband and I will take the trailer for a weekend and we’ll go to Kentucky and pick five or six estate sales to go to,” she said. “We actually pulled a fireplace out of an old farmhouse there.” In addition, to pieces created by Sinsel and her husband, shoppers will find items by: • Gina Donnell, Thirty4Knots – Macramé; • Jami Fadley, JAM’S Creations – Wood signs, refinished furniture, Wise

A word to the wise for those shopping at the market – if you see something you absolutely have to have, don’t snooze or you may lose. “We had multiple people come back at the February market that were looking for things from the January market and the items were gone,” Sinsel said. “I had one woman actually break down and cry over missing out on a vintage apple orchard sign, which we had pulled out of an actual orchard.” Marketplace hours are Thursday 4-8 p.m.; Friday 10 a.m.-7 p.m.; Saturday 11 a.m.-8 p.m. and Sunday noon-4 p.m. For more details, about The Grain House Co., visit www.facebook.com/ thegrainhouseco/.

Wood Lane Celebrates “CommUNITY” in March The Wood County Board of Developmental Disabilities began its celebration of Developmental Disabilities Awareness month with a trip to the Ohio Statehouse on March 7. There, members of People First of Wood County and Special Olympics Leadership Academy graduates heard from self-advocates across the state and visited with their legislators and their aides. Wood County attendees spoke with State Sen. Randy Gardner about school safety and State Rep. Theresa Gavarone’s legislative aide about transportation needs and more opportunities across the county. Attendee Mike Stanford of People First, asked Gavarone’s aide about the potential for more people like him to receive their driver’s license and for improved access to higher education opportunities. “I have my driver’s license and I think others would benefit from it, too, he said.” He also described his desire to attend college. The Wood County Board of Developmental Disabilities plans to continue bringing awareness to the county with several other events throughout the month using the theme “Celebrate CommUNITY.” Wood Lane will host The CommUNITY Honors program Saturday, March 17 at Nazareth Hall. The event honors self-advocates, community members, families, and staff of the Wood County Board of Developmental Disabilities who tirelessly work to make change for the better in Wood County.

Cyrus Foos portrays “The Nerd” in Fremont Community Theatre’s production of the same name. The comedy runs March 16-18 and 23-25. His father, Michael PJ Foos, is directing the show, and he also portrayed the role in FCT’s production of the show 23 years ago. (Submitted photo)

“The Nerd”

Production a family affair Twenty-three years ago, Fremont Community Theatre produced the play, “The Nerd,” starring Michael PJ Foos in the title role. This month, “The Nerd” once again hits the FCT stage starring 23-year-old Cyrus Foos, directed by his father Michael PJ Foos. The comedy, written by Larry Shue, tells the story of Willum Cubbert (Jeff Buchanan, of Woodville), a Vietnam Veteran who is apparently reunited with Rick Steadman (Foos), the soldier who saved Willum’s life while unconscious. Willum’s girlfriend, Tansy (Amy Wylykanowitz, of Fremont) and best friend, Axel (Scott Havice, of Fremont) encourage Willum to stand up for his architectural artistry with businessman Ticky Waldgrave (Wayne Biggert, of Fremont). A surprise visit from the nerdy Rick while entertaining the Waldgrave family

creates a social mixture of mayhem and ridiculousness. Fremont Community Theatre celebrates its membership of families such as the Fooses – Director PJ Foos, Assistant Director Mary Jo Foos, actor Cyrus Foos, and set designer Delilah Foos, all of Gibsonburg. Also portraying the Waldgrave family is the Biggert family of Fremont – Wayne, Toni, and daughter Grace. Grace plays Thor Waldgrave, the ill-behaved son of aggressive businessman Ticky and his mild-mannered schoolteacher wife, Clelia. “The Nerd” runs March 16, 17, 18, 23, 24, and 25. Curtain time is 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays. Tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for seniors, and $5 for students and children. Call 419-332-0695 for reservations. “The Nerd” is rated PG due to adult language.

Helping in Walbridge

Lake students team with Habitat for Humanity Lake High School students will be participating in a wall panel build with Habitat for Humanity of Wood County 9 a.m. Saturday, March 17 at the Loop Park shelter house. The organizations are partnering to complete wall panels for a Habitat home starting construction this April in Walbridge. Tonya Shauwecker, Lake High School Students in Action adviser, spoke about the group’s inspiration for working with Habitat. “In 2010, many of our community members lost their homes to the devastating tornado that ripped through our towns and schools,” Shauwecker said. “Because we received so much help from others, our Students in Action team wanted to give back in a tangible way—by building a home for one of our own.” The Students in Action club also hosted a stud fundraiser, which raised more than $300 to fund the upcoming build. “As the winners of the ‘National Jefferson Award for Outstanding Community Service by a High School,’ we want to continue to spread our message of giving and kindness. Our students are generous beyond any expectation, and we are so proud to work with them every day,” Shauwecker said. With the students’ help, Habitat hopes to complete all 30 wall panels needed for the Walbridge home. “We’re excited to see the students playing such a big role in the build,” said Community Outreach Director Clara Maynard. “We rely on our many volunteers to further our mission of building homes, communities and hope.” Habitat for Humanity of Wood County looks forward to continuing partnerships with students across the communities it serves. For more information on Habitat for Humanity, visit wchabitat.org.

The island, managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, is a federally designated wilderness area.

The area is closed to all but permit-holding researchers who visit the island three to four times per year. On the cruise around the island, tour participants will learn about the rookery from researchers representing the Ohio Division of Wildlife and the United States Fish & Wildlife Service. They can expect to see great egrets, great blue herons, blackcrowned nightherons, double-crested cor-

morants, snowy egrets, gulls, and a bald eagle nest. There is also potential to see migrating warblers and waterfowl. The cruise will launch from the Jet Express dock in downtown Port Clinton, at 7 p.m. and return to port at 9 p.m. Horsd’oeuvres and a cash bar will be provided on the passenger ferry.

Honeymoons are big business. According to a recent Conde Nast Bridal Infobank survey, the average couple spends more than $5,000 on their honeymoon, indicaĆ&#x;ng just how much meaning couples assign to their ÄŽrst oÄ¸cial trip as newlyweds. If the average spending on honeymoons seems high, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for couples working on budgets to realize that there are plenty of ways to plan memorable getaways without breaking the bank. Couples can keep the following strategies in mind as they plan their honeymoons. â&#x20AC;˘ Plan and book early. In its 2016 Real Weddings Study, online wedding resource The

Knot found that the average engagement length was 15 months. That gives couples plenty of Ć&#x;me to plan their weddings, but also a great chance to book their honeymoons well in advance of their wedding days. FiĹ&#x152;een months aÄŤords couples the chance to piece together the perfect honeymoon on their own or shop around for package deals. â&#x20AC;˘ Delay the honeymoon. Couples without much wiggle room in their budgets or those who simply want to save money can delay their honeymoons, choosing to take their getaways months aĹ&#x152;er they Ć&#x;e the knot. This provides couples with more traveling Ĺ&#x2021;exibility. And depending on when couples get married, delaying the honeymoon may push the trip into the vacaĆ&#x;oning oÄŤ-season, when more aÄŤordable deals can oĹ&#x152;en be found. â&#x20AC;˘ Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shy away from your newlywed status. Resorts might not adverĆ&#x;se it, but many oÄŤer special ameniĆ&#x;es to honeymooning newlyweds. Some may provide complimentary spa services, while others might oÄŤer free room upgrades if they have any vacancies. Such ameniĆ&#x;es may be grand or small, but no maĆŠer their size, they can make honeymoons feel more special. â&#x20AC;˘ Give ample consideraĆ&#x;on to all-inclusive honeymoon packages. Whether couples are working on Ć&#x;ght budgets or planning their honeymoons without regard to cost, all-inclusive packages may be worth the extra money upfront. All-inclusive packages tend to include meals, some beverages and fun acĆ&#x;viĆ&#x;es that couples would otherwise have to pay for ĂĄ la carte. All-inclusive packages may also remove some of the work of planning the honeymoon because couples wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to Ć&#x;relessly research acĆ&#x;viĆ&#x;es and ÄŽnd the most aÄŤordable local vendors. Couples can examine the nuts and bolts of all-inclusive packages to make sure they include acĆ&#x;viĆ&#x;es and foods theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to enjoy. Planning a honeymoon takes work, but much of that work is fun, and couples who do their due diligence can save substanĆ&#x;al amounts of money.

Planning for your own funeral offers many benefits By Tammy Walro and Katie Siebenaller Press Staff Writers Death and taxesâ&#x20AC;Śtheyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re something we all wish we could avoid. Just as careful preparation can make taxtime go more smoothly, thoughtful pre-planning can make funerals less burdensome for the loved ones we leave behind. Funeral pre-planning is a step many baby boomers are taking, according to local funeral directors â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with some reporting 40 to 50 percent of funerals now being preplanned. Pre-planning a funeral offers a number of benefits, both for the person planning and those he or she leaves behind, according to the National Funeral Directors Association. First, you have the peace of mind and comfort of knowing your loved ones will not have to make funeral arrangement decisions during the difficult time of their initial grief. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Very often, family members may not know their loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wishes, or they may not all agree,â&#x20AC;? said Larry Schaffer, manager at Eggleston, Meinert & Pavley Funeral Home in Oregon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By taking care of arrangements, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re relieving them of that burden and giving them more time and energy to focus on healing and remembrance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With decisions already made, they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to ask themselves, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Am I making the right choices?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he said. Creating your own unique life celebration also allows you to make sure that your wishes and desires are respected upon your passing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; how you will be memorialized and that your arrangements reflect exactly what you envisioned them to be. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a woman who planned all the details,â&#x20AC;? said Mick Merz, general manager of Witzler-Shank Funeral Home in Walbridge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She wanted to wear pink â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that was her color, and wanted her favorite pumps (shoes). She was an elegant lady and her funeral reflected that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When they came in, her family was happy to find their mom had already laid out

Funeral preplanning is a step many baby boomers are taking. (Photo courtesy of Metro Graphics) everything that she wanted,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When it comes to pre-planned funerals, the deceasedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kids always say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Thank God Mom and Dad did that for us,â&#x20AC;? Merz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They can pre-arrange and just put all their information on file if they want,â&#x20AC;? Merz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they want to pay for it, they can do that in a single payment, or they can do it for a period over up to 10 years.â&#x20AC;? While pre-funding a funeral is certainly not required in order to pre-plan, pre-payment means that your funds will be set aside and protected against inflation and unfore-

seen increases in cost, according to Joe Freck, of Freck Funeral Chapel in Oregon â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cost any more or less to pre-plan,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pre-payment has the advantage of locking in the price on services so you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry about the price going up 10 or 20 years down the road.â&#x20AC;? Pre-funding a funeral can also be an important part of estate planning or preparing to apply for Medicaid or SSI benefits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once you go on Medicaid â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and statistically, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all going to go there someday, and go into a nursing home, you can only

have $1,500 of cash assets, and $1,500 of insurance, and a pre-arranged funeral is an asset that you can have that Medicaid doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attach to,â&#x20AC;? Merz said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why you see a lot of older people pre-pay for their funerals.â&#x20AC;? Anyone can create a plan, at any stage in their life, and you can make changes at a later date if you wish. For personalized assistance in creating a funeral plan including information about various pre-payment options, consult your preferred funeral director.

Funeral planning checklist â&#x20AC;&#x201C; tips to take into consideration Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot that goes into planning a funeral, but making those arrangements in advance offers time to consider various options and gather all the necessary information.

A little planning can go a long way to protect loved ones When helping families plan a successful retirement, I’m a big advocate of beginning with the end in mind. In this context, having a goal of passing away with even a bit of money left over means you’ve planned well. The converse of that means you’ve passed away with no money left; you’ve run out. If a successful retirement plan means there’s some money left over at the end, then somebody else must receive that money. Determining how that’s handled is a basic function of estate planning. No longer a luxury for the wealthy, estate planning is a must for just about everyone who seeks to plan well. It turns out there are a lot of reasons to consider estate planning, beyond the obvious. In order to better understand some of these other facets of proper planning, I’ve sought the insight of Estate Planning Attorney, Richard Chamberlain, of Chamberlain Law Group in Perrysburg. What follows are his thoughts on the subject of protecting a loved one through properly planning one’s estate. Some people view estate planning in a very straight-forward, transactional manner, simply as a way to transfer assets to other people after they pass away. However, that can be a very limited view of the opportunity you have in your estate planning to impact the lives of the people to whom you are leaving your property. When we work with our clients, we help them create estate plans that will provide protections for their loved ones and preserve their assets from unnecessary costs, fees, and taxes. Let’s take a closer look at the “protecting” aspect of estate planning. You have essentially two different options when it comes to how to leave assets to your beneficiaries. You can leave assets “outright,” or you can leave them in a “protective trust share.” An outright distribution is just what it sounds like – the inheritance is given directly to the beneficiary, and they can then do whatever they like with the assets. There are no protections associated with an outright distribution. A protective trust share is a bit differ-

they manage their own inherited assets). Instances where you would appoint someone else trustee for the beneficiary: • Beneficiary is disabled or has special needs; • Beneficiary has creditor problems; • Beneficiary has poor spending and saving judgment or has an addiction problem; or • Beneficiary is young and inexperienced in handling money.

Because estate-planning choices can either help loved ones financially, or potentially cause them harm, it’s best to plan carefully and review and update plans as necessary. ent; it’s a trust share that continues for the beneficiary with the assets remaining in a trust. The trustee of the trust share distributes the assets to the beneficiary as directed in the trust agreement. This arrangement can protect the beneficiary and the assets. So why might you consider leaving your financial legacy with the enhanced protections of a protective trust share? It doesn’t have to be a matter of not believing that your beneficiaries are equipped to handle the assets on their own, although that

can certainly be a reason. Many people use the protective share approach to planning even if their beneficiaries are perfectly capable of managing the inheritance well on their own. Depending on the reasons for the ongoing protections, you can have someone else serve as trustee and manage the trust assets for the beneficiary (if the beneficiary cannot handle the inheritance on their own), or you can design the plan so that the beneficiary serves as their own trustee (so

Instances where you would allow the beneficiary to be his or her own trustee: To protect your beneficiary and the assets from any and all of the following: • The possibility of a divorcing spouse; • A spouse who is controlling, or a spendthrift or has creditor issues; • Creditors from their own potential financial mishaps, accidents or frivolous lawsuits; • Losing needs-based government benefits if they should become incapacitated; • Being subjected to a guardianship if they become incapacitated; • Being subject to probate when the beneficiary passes away; • Being lost to non-bloodline individuals (your in-law, or worse yet, your in-law’s next spouse) when the beneficiary passes away. When you do your estate planning, or when you are sitting down and reviewing your estate plan for updates, think about whether using ongoing protections would make sense for you and your loved ones. The choices you make can have the impact of either helping a loved one financially, or potentially causing them harm. Given this, we’ve found that a little planning can go a long way toward protecting those whom we care most about.

Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history and Social Security By Erin Thompson Social Security Public Affairs Specialist, Toledo March is Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s History Month, a a time to focus on womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s achievementsand the challenges women continue to face. In the 21st century, more women work, pay Social Security taxes, and earn credit toward monthly retirement income than at any other time in our history. Knowing this, you can take control of your own history, with knowledge you can get from Social Security. Social Security has served a vital role in the lives of women for more than 80 years. With longer life expectancies than men, women tend to live more years in retirement and have a greater chance of exhausting other sources of income. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, a female born today can expect to live more than 80 years. As a result, experts generally agree that if women want to ensure that their retirement years are comfortable, they need to plan early and wisely. A great place to start is with Social Securityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Retirement Estimator. It gives you a personalized estimate of your retirement benefits. Plug in different retirement ages and projected earnings to get an idea of how such things might change your future benefit amounts. find it at www.socialsecurity.gov/estimator. You should also visit Social Securityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial planning website at www.socialsecurity.gov/planners. It provides detailed info about how marriage, widowhood, divorce, self-employment, government service and other life or career events can affect your Social Security. Your benefits are based on your earnings, so you should create your personal my Social Security account to verify that your earnings were reported correctly. Your account also can provide estimates of your future retirement, disability, and survivors benefits. You can access my Social Security at www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount.

March for Meals The Wood County Committee on Aging (WCCOA) is participating in the 16th annual March for Meals – a month-long, community-by-community celebration of Meal on Wheels and the vulnerable seniors who rely on the vital service to remain indepen-

dent at home. WCCOA’s celebration will include a special Community Champion’s Week March 19-March 23, during which WCCOA will be inviting local elected officials to join experienced volunteers on their meal delivery routes to see the service in action. ”The services that we provide the seniors of Bowling Green, North Baltimore, Pemberville, Perrysburg, Rossford, Walbridge and Wayne are critical and the need is rapidly increasing,” said Denise Niese, executive director of WCCOA. “Together, we can keep seniors living independently, healthier at home and feeling more connected to their community as they age.” The annual March for Meals commemorates the historic day in March 1972 when President Nixon signed into law a measure that amended the Older Americans Act of 1965 and established a national nutrition program for seniors 60 years and older. Since 2002, Meals on Wheels programs from across the country have joined forces for the annual awareness campaign to celebrate this successful public-private partnership and garner the support needed to fill the gap between the seniors served and those still in need. “This March, hundreds of local Meals on Wheels programs will rally their communities to build the support that will enable them to deliver nutritious meals, friendly visits and safety checks to America’s most at-risk seniors all year long,” said Ellie Hollander, President and CEO of Meals on Wheels America. “With the demand for Meals on Wheels increasing along with our country’s senior population, we need to ensure that seniors are not forgotten.” For more information on how to volunteer, contribute or speak out for the seniors in Wood County this March, visit www.wccoa.net.

Law you can use

Telephone marketing scams: how to avoid falling prey You answer a telephone call. A marketer says her company can get you out of debt, save you from a problem detected with your Windows computer or extend your vehicle warranty. Or, a man says you have been selected to receive a discount on a great vacation, product or service. Excited (or alarmed), you hand over your personal and financial information to remedy the problem or take advantage of an amazing opportunity. Later you wonder, “What did I just do?” Telephone scams are a huge problem today. It is virtually impossible to recover your money after you have become a telephone scam victim, but you can take steps to reduce the likelihood of falling prey in the future. Q: What is a telemarketing scam? A: A telephone marketing (“telemarketing”) scam typically involves a caller who seeks to obtain personal information, money or access to financial information without a legal, legitimate purpose. The caller promises products without any intention of delivering them, or creates a situation and then charges money to resolve it, or obtains the money or information for other fraudulent purposes, including possible future identity theft. Q: When I returned a call using my Caller ID, I reached a completely different person. Why? A: Savvy scam artists may “spoof” your Caller ID using a “spoof card,” which tricks the Caller ID into showing a false reading. This technology then sends the false reading to your Caller ID. Some scammers even change the caller’s voice. If you attempt to call the number indicated on your Caller ID, and reach someone who has never heard of you, you may have been the victim of a Caller ID spoof. Q: Why can’t I get my money back if I am a telemarketing scam victim? A: It is virtually impossible to identify or locate a telemarketing scammer. In fact, many scammers operate from outside the country. You cannot press criminal

To avoid being scammed, never provide any personal or financial information to a caller unless you can verify the call is legitimate. If you’re not sure, hang up or asked to be contacted by mail. charges, seek restitution or pursue a civil lawsuit if you cannot locate or identify the person who fraudulently took your money or personal financial information. Some states have established victim funds to assist telemarketing victims recover some of their financial losses, but Ohio does not yet have such a fund. Q: What kinds of scams are currently operating? A: Telemarketing scams offer everything from fake lotteries to fake jobs. Many scams have been around for several years. In one ongoing scam, a caller claims to be

from Windows Tech Support, saying that a virus has been detected on your Windows device and patiently walks you through a process to correct the problem. Instead, the scammer secretly installs virus programs onto your computer, then offers to remove the virus for a fee. In the “Sweetheart” and/or “Grandma” scam, a person calls, often late at night, pretending to be a loved one, a child or a grandchild. The person quickly states that he/she is in the hospital or in jail and needs money or information immediately. The scammer may transfer the call to a third

person claiming to be a police officer or a hospital employee, who then demands personal or financial information to release or treat the fictional loved one. Q: If I believe a scammer is contacting me by phone, what should I do? A: Never provide any personal or financial information unless you can verify that the call is legitimate. Most reputable companies will not request such information over the phone. Hang up or ask to be contacted by regular mail. Research the caller online to learn if there have been complaints about the company. Call the telemarketer back using the telephone number shown on your Caller ID. Contact the Ohio Attorney General and the Federal Trade Commission to find out if this is a known scam. Q: What if I am a victim of a telemarketing scam? A: Dispute the charge and report the scam. You can dispute charges made via credit (and sometimes debit), and your financial institution may be able to credit the charge back to your account. If you have provided your financial or banking information to the scammer, consider closing the associated account to prevent future fraud. You should also report the scam to the Ohio Attorney General’s office at: www. ohioattorneygeneral.gov/About-AG/Contact/ Report-A-Scam, and the Federal Trade Commission at: www.ohioattorneygeneral. gov/About-AG/Contact/Report-A-Scam. Q: Where can I learn more about telemarketing scams? A: The Federal Trade Commission tracks many scams that are being reported here: www.consumer.ftc.gov/scam-alerts. Other websites can also indicate potential scams, such as www.RipoffReport.com. This “Law You Can Use” consumer legal information column was provided by the Ohio State Bar Association. It was prepared by consumer protection advocate, Dayton attorney Mandy A. Jamison, of JAMISON LAW, LLC.

Church Worship Guide Deadline: Thursday 11:00 am

Inspirational Message of the Week: Spiritual Maturity Just as we grow and develop physically and mentally, we should do so spiritually as well. Children grow and learn in relation to their parents in much the same way that we grow and learn in relation to God. We go from being completely dependent on our parents to being an integral part of our family, helping with chores and supporting each other, and in the process, we should also grow in love and appreciation for our parents and siblings. As children of God we will always remain dependent on God, but we should also mature to the point where we are “pulling our weight” in the spiritual realm. Spiritually mature persons will take the initiative to pray and do good works without having to be

Oregon

persuaded by others. They are also willing and able to accept hard truths about their own failings and will work diligently to improve. The spiritually mature strive to become more like God, and to judge others not by their outward appearances but by their inner attributes. They are painfully aware of their own tendency to judge others more harshly than they judge themselves and consequently will be merciful in their judgement of others. “Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.” —1 Peter 2:1-3 NIV
