‘Warblerstock’ Biggest Week in American Birding starts

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com

When Indianapolis graphic designer Scott Arvin designed the cover for The Biggest Week in American Birding’s Visitors’ Guide, he chose to call the ten-day event “Warblerstock.”

For those too young to remember, Warblerstock is a reference to Woodstock — a legendary rock music festival attracting an audience of 400,000 people over four days on a dairy farm in New York state from August 15-18, 1969.

Arvin makes another reference to the Woodstock “love fest” with a subtitle under Warblerstock, “Peace Love Birds.”

For the 75,000 bird lovers from around the world who will arrive for this year’s Biggest Week, that is exactly what this event is. To them, there is no other place for chasing down warblers and other bird species than the shores of Lake Erie during spring migration.

This is the seventh year for the festival under the auspices of the Black Swamp Bird Observatory, which co-produces the award-winning visitors’ guide with The Press and The Beacon. The festival is May 6-15.

BSBO executive director and Biggest Week birding coordinator Kimberly Kaufman says the event continues to grow each year. In 2015, birders arrived here from 47 states and 22 countries, creating an annual economic impact of $37 million.

“We’re poised to host the seventh annual Biggest Week, and we couldn’t be more excited,” Kaufman said. “I love what this event brings to Northwest Ohio, and I don’t just mean the incredible economic impact.

“The event infuses the region with positive energy and a renewed sense of pride in what Northwest Ohio has to offer.

And, perhaps most importantly, the event helps BSBO raise awareness of the economic value of habitat conservation,” Kaufman continues.

Once again this year, festival headquarters are at the Maumee Bay Lodge and Conference Center. Kaufman says online registration is now closed, but walk in registrations are available at Maumee Bay Lodge and BSBO offices near the Magee Marsh entrance off St. Rte. 2. By the way, not far from the BSBO office is a bald eagle nest — perhaps your first stop upon arrival.

It isn’t just the thousands who arrive here each year who say Lake Erie is one of the world’s greatest places to bird, it is one million bird watchers from around the world. That is the number of subscriptions worldwide to Birds & Blooms, America’s No. 1 bird and garden magazine.

That magazine’s senior editor, Kirsten Sweet, arrived for the festival last year.

While here, she touted the shores of Lake Continued on page 2

Gregory: levy funds will not go for teacher raises The superintendent of the Oregon City Schools District said last week that he and School Board President Carol Molnar will honor a pledge to use revenue from a 3.95-mill levy, passed last November, for local Career Technical programs and extracurricular activities.

Superintendent Hal Gregory specifically noted in a recent email to The Press that the funds would not be “available for employee raises.”

“On behalf of Mrs. Carol-Ann Molnar, school board president, and myself, and, as the representatives of OCS [Oregon City Schools] who publicly committed to using the recently approved 3.95-mill levy proceeds exclusively for maintaining local Career Technical programs and extracurricular programs, we remain committed to that promise,” stated Gregory. “The

“

That was the campaign message.

We needed that money to continue those programs and maintain Career Tech locally.

funds generated from the 3.95-mill levy are less than the total cost to maintain these programs and are crucial to keeping local control of these programs. These funds are

fully committed to the promised programs and are not available for employee raises.

As one of the largest employers in Oregon, we are committed to attracting and retaining a highly skilled teaching and support staff. This is critical to the success of our students. Again, we remain committed to being fiscally responsible and honoring the commitments made to the tax payers.”

The pledge In a half-page ad, with the headline “Open letter to the residents of Oregon and Jerusalem Township Communities,” that appeared in The Press just before the general election last November, Gregory and Molnar pledged that revenue from the levy would be used “exclusively” to protect all of the extra-curricular programs and keep Clay’s Career-Technical programs under local control. The word “exclusively” in the ad was highlighted in bold. Molnar’s and Gregory’s photos and signatures are at the bottom of the ad.

The district had failed repeatedly to get an operating levy passed since 2008.

Voters on November 3, though, approved the measure by 62.64 percent to 37.36 percent.

In an article that appeared in The Press on April 4 about the district’s current contract negotiations with the Oregon City Federation of Teachers and the Ohio Association of Public School Employees (OAPSE), Gregory reiterated the pledge he made in the ad, saying “The community put their trust in us when we passed the levy, and we’re going to honor that trust…

We made it very clear that the levy money would cover the athletic department and Career Tech programs.”

School board member Jeff Ziviski agreed with Gregory in the last paragraph of the article: “We publicly stated that the levy money was to maintain the current level of services and programs in athletics and career tech. It would not include pay Continued on page 2

Erie as one of the greatest places on earth to bird during spring migration. She’s not the only one.

Magee Marsh Wildlife Area gained national recognition as a prime birding spot when USA Today’s 10Best Readers’ Choice travel award contest asked people to select from a long list of bird watching areas and select their favorite. After four weeks of voting, Northwest Ohio’s own Magee Marsh dominated. The BSBO launched a major social media campaign to remind people to vote every day.

Kaufman encourages everyone to come out and go birding this spring, even if it’s something you haven’t thought about doing before. It’s easy to get started, she says.

“The festival provides a wonderful opportunity for local people to discover the joy of birds and birding. It’s a wonderful family activity, gets us outside in the fresh air, and really helps us to see the beauty of the natural areas Northwest Ohio is fortunate to have,” Kaufman said.

The festival draws celebrities, too. Two years ago, acclaimed actress Lili Taylor was on the Magee Marsh boardwalk. Her show, Almost Human, was not being renewed that year. The science fiction drama co-starring Karl Urban (Star Trek, The Lord of the Rings) and Michael Ealy, aired for 14 episodes. Taylor played Captain Sandra Maldonado, the tough boss of a gruff detective (Urban) with a synthetic leg and his android partner (Ealy), who has trouble keeping his emotions in check.

Taylor took the bad news in stride and was looking forward to her fourth day on the Lake Erie marshes, hoping to catch a glimpse of one of the world’s rarest birds, the Kirtland warbler.

“That would be pretty amazing,” Taylor told former Press General Manager John Szozda.

raises, only maintain our current level of services, which would include the current salary structure,” he said.

It is the only comment Ziviski made in the article.

Where do you start?

If you don’t believe the event has a lot to offer, look again. The four-page festival schedule in the visitors’ guide includes daily guided walks at Magee Marsh and other wetlands, a bird tattoo contest, workshops, conservation programs, a Birder Prom, local food and music, international birding

(Press photos by Ken Grosjean) experts and authors, canoe trips, a marketplace, guest speakers and presentations, and even a movie night.

“Planning an event of this magnitude requires the support and cooperation of an astonishing number of partners and volunteers,” Kaufman said. “The staff at BSBO is blessed to work with more than 250 of the most wonderful volunteers, local partners ranging from convention and visitors’ bureaus, chambers of commerce, and our sensational Metroparks of Toledo. Without this support, the Biggest Week simply would not be possible.”

Kaufman says not all activities require free registration, like the “How to Get Started in Birding Workshops” and the bird tattoo contest. There are also special evening events that require no pre-registration and you can pay at the door, including the Birder Prom, Noah Strycker’s Epic World Big Year presentation, and movie night, which this year is a presentation of “The Messenger.”

The Biggest Week is famous for introducing totally new ideas to the world of

bird festivals, and 2016 is no exception. So, grab your date and migrate to the first-ever Birder Prom.

“Slip on your boogie shoes and get ready to dance the night away. We’ll provide the DJ, the dance floor, the ambiance, and a cash bar. You bring your best moves to the Tanager Tango, the Hummingbird Hop, the Warbler Waltz, and the Songbird Salsa,” says a promo in the visitors’ guide.

The prom is Saturday, May 7 from 7-10 p.m. at Maumee Bay Lodge and to participate, a $5 donation at the door is asked.

Meeting scheduled to discuss water quality Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments (TMACOG) invites sanitation professionals, engineers, elected and appointed officials dealing with permits, and the general public to an open meeting Wednesday, May 4 from 6-7 p.m. at the TMACOG offices, 300 Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive, Toledo, in the Amtrak building.

The goal of the meeting is to explain recent changes to the region’s Area-wide

Water Quality Management Plan (called the 208 Plan from that section of the Clean Water Act). Changes in federal regulations affect how local governments apply for a Permit to Install (PTI) for new wastewater services. Planning areas throughout the region have also proposed sewer extensions, changes in authority over sewer lines, and initiatives to reduce the number of septic systems and package plants.

Attendees will review maps and posters outlining new information. There will be two short presentations – one from a representative of the Ohio EPA about the permit changes, and the other from Kurt Erichsen, vice president of Water Quality Planning at TMACOG, about the 208 Plan.

The program is free and reservations are not required. Light refreshments will be available.

Backing away On April 11, Molnar, a retired teacher, contacted The Press to say that Ziviski’s comment was in violation of board policy.

Only the superintendent or the board president could comment to the media on behalf of the school board. Molnar also appeared to be backing away from her earlier pledge that levy revenue would be used exclusively for Career Tech and extracurricular programs. The levy money, she said, could indeed be used for pay raises for teachers.

And although Gregory said in the April 4 article that he would honor the pledge, he declined to comment for the April 18 article when asked whether revenue from the levy would go toward increasing teachers’ salaries as part of contract negotiations.

Last Wednesday, Gregory told The Press he did not want to comment further regarding the statement in the email due to the sensitivity of negotiations with the unions.

He did, however, reiterate that the levy was needed for Career Technical and extracurricular programs in the district.

“That was the campaign message.

We needed that money to continue those programs and maintain Career Tech locally,” he said.

The cost to maintain the programs, he added, is about $2.4 million annually, more than the $1.9 million in annual revenue collected from the 3.95-mill levy.

“So all that money that we’re collecting is going to pay for those programs because it is less than the programs’ costs,” he said.

Career Technical programs are taught in two wings of Clay High School, said Gregory. State law requires that technical skills be offered to students, either as part of a joint vocational program, or as a comprehensive program in high school.

There are 12 Career Tech programs taught at Clay. Part of the levy’s revenue will go towards maintaining Career Tech teachers’ salaries, support staff and equipment.

“The next generation of jobs will be in the trades and engineering fields. We’re really trying to grow those programs. But at the time of the levy, we had to make a choice to reduce some programs. That’s why, through a lot of conversation, we looked at Career Tech and extra-curricular activities because we didn’t want to cut our core educational programs. So we’re very thankful voters passed the levy,” said Gregory.

Performance center needed, drama director says

“

Everybody was helpful. I can’t say that enough. No one ever said, ‘You can't do this.’

“

After a successful presentation of the musical “Hello Dolly,” the director of the Woodmore Drama Club says it’s time for the school district to begin planning for a performing arts center.

The club staged the musical March 17-20 in the cafetorium of the new PreK-8 building in Woodville, drawing mostly sellout crowds, according to Marcia Busdeker, who praised administrators and staff members for accommodating the production team and cast as they held auditions and rehearsals in different district buildings to, in turn, accommodate the practice schedules of athletic teams, cheerleading squads and other groups.

Even the patience of a spirited Dolly Levi would have been tested by having to construct stage sets at private residences, move a grand piano into the high school gym for rehearsals, then move it back to the choir room, and contend with poor acoustics of the gym when singing or reciting lines, Busdeker reasons.

The stage area of the cafetorium is also used for a middle school classroom.

When musical productions were held in the auditorium of the now demolished former elementary school building, rehearsals and presentations went much more smoothly for the club.

Busdeker is asking the Woodmore school board to give its blessing to the formation of a committee to explore funding options for a performance center.

“I want our productions to be held on a stage worthy of our students and community,” she told the board last month. “I know that this will be a work in progress and I am also well aware that we are not able to put this on a ballot anytime soon, so I suggest we start fundraising, writing grants and seeking private donations. I would like to propose that we put together a strategic planning committee just for the purpose of obtaining a performing arts center. I have no issue knocking on doors and asking for money, but we need a plan first.”

She provided the board with an extensive recounting of what the production team and cast faced.

The cafetorium in the new school lacks stage wings and there was no area for cast members to wait for their entrance without the audience seeing them; so a plastic sheet was hung to block the back entrance of the stage from view.

The lighting and sound systems in the cafetorium aren’t suited for a stage production and the on-stage lights emit a distracting noise, Busdeker said. The club paid for having the company that installed the building’s sound system add the club’s seven microphones to the building system.

She describes the sound system as being operated “on a wing and a prayer” dur-

ing the shows.

Finding a suitable place for the pit band was also a challenge. After trying to have the band on about a quarter of the stage behind the characters, Tracey Nycz, the district’s choir director and music director for the show, suggested the band perform on an upstairs hallway. Because the piano used by accompanist, Sally Makulinski, couldn’t fit in the elevator, an electronic keyboard was used instead.

A seating arrangement for 270 chairs was set up. There were a few complaints from audience members about not being able to see and hear everyone on stage and that the chairs were uncomfortable.

Cast members never criticized the facility but in a meeting two weeks before

opening those playing the lead characters had concerns.

“We sat down and had a long chat and I said I feel like some of you are holding back yet on giving me 100 percent. Can you tell me why? Their concerns were valid,” Busdeker said. “They said what if we can’t hear the music because Mrs. Nycz is upstairs? What if we can’t hear our cues to come on because we’re not in our regular auditorium? What if people can’t see us because of how they’re sitting in the audience? I told them, that’s for me to worry about. I was very proud of them for bringing their concerns to me and even more proud of them for never complaining the entire five months it took to put the show together.”

She also has favorable reviews for school officials who recognized what the drama club was facing.

“Everybody was very helpful. I can’t say that enough,” Busdeker said. “No one ever said ‘You can’t do this.’ Everybody bent over backward for us, the administrative team; the secretaries at both facilities, the custodians, teachers, everyone we came in contact with couldn’t have been more helpful. It was a wonderful experience where people helped me. But it was the most challenging production I have ever been a part of because we were putting on a show in a facility that is not meant to have a musical on the stage.”

Grand jury indictments After a recent session of the Ottawa County Grand Jury, indictments have been returned against the following individuals, according to Prosecuting Attorney Mark Mulligan: • James Bell, who is currently being held in the Ottawa County Detention Facility, has been indicted on one count of Tampering with Evidence, a felony of the third degree. The charges are a result of an investigation by the Port Clinton Police Department, the Ottawa County Drug Task Force and the Ottawa County Coroner’s Office into the recent suspected drug-related death of Harold Carter. Bell is accused of destroying or concealing evidence at the scene in order to impede the investigation.

Mulligan noted that toxicology results are pending and are not expected to be available for several weeks.

“Based on what investigators learn from the toxicology report, additional changes are likely to be presented to the grand jury in the future, he added.

• Thomas Cooley, 36, 710 Buckeye St., Genoa, was charged with one count of Possession of Drugs, a felony of the fifth degree, after Clay Township Police officers reportedly found him in possession of prescription drugs during a traffic stop in February.

A summons was issued for Cooley to make his initial appearance in the Ottawa County Court of Common Pleas on April 27. A warrant has been issued for Bell.

Charity shoe drive The Wood County Humane Society is conducting a shoe collection drive to raise funds for the animals of Wood County.

The organization will earn funds based on the number of pairs collected, as Funds2Orgs will purchase all of the donated goods. Proceeds raised will benefit the Wood County Humane Society. Donate gently worn, used or new shoes at the shelter, 801 Van Camp Rd. Bowling Green.

All donated shoes will then be redistributed throughout the Funds2Orgs network of microenterprise partners in developing nations. Funds2Orgs helps impoverished people start, maintain and grow businesses in countries such as Haiti, Honduras and other nations in Central America and Africa. Proceeds from the shoe sales are used to feed, clothe and house their families. One budding entrepreneur in Haiti even earned enough to send to her son to law school.

“We are excited about our shoe drive,” said Bethany DeLuca, fundraising committee chair. “We know that most people have extra shoes in their closets, and it doesn’t cost anything. It also is great to help those less fortunate become self-sufficient. It’s a win-win for everyone.”

Ceremony welcomes vets home

“20 Under 40”

By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com Regardless of what your thoughts are on the Vietnam War, few argue that it’s fair to say that veterans who served this country in that conflict deserve our appreciation.

Unfortunately, for many of those veterans, anything but appreciation was shown to them when they returned in the 1960s and 1970s from southeast Asia. Many of the troops were treated by protestors with great disdain and abhorrence, something that might be difficult for many younger people to believe.

That’s why veterans believe that saying “thank you” is so important. They argue that people should showing respect and adoration for those who admirably served this country, as well as their loved ones, is important, no matter how long ago the war took place.

On a Saturday, the Vietnam Era Veteran Commemoration Celebration was held at Camp Perry and served that purpose, honoring several local men, both living and deceased, who served. In all, seven Ottawa County natives, Thomas Carstens, William Matthews, Jr., James Davenport, Glen Millinger, Clyde Enderle, Antonio Ruiz and David Kesterson, and 32 Sandusky County natives were recognized for their service in a war that saw U.S. troop levels escalate in 1961 and 1962 before direct military involvement from the military ceased in 1973.

The ceremony, which lasted just under three hours, featured a variety of speakers, including Lieutenant Carmen Marshall (Adams), a Columbus native who served during the war. Lt. Adams gave a 20-minute speech detailing the contributions of women to the armed forces during the war, stressing that is also greatly underappreci-

Local hero Gene Bihn, who served in the war with his brother, Jim Bihn, related his experience enlisting while he was in Bowling Green and how the Tet Offensive, one of the major events in the war, took place at a difficult time in the U.S., just three weeks after Martin Luther King was assassinated and six months before Robert Kennedy was murdered.

Another local Vietnam vet, John Davenport, who served in the war with his brother, Jim, who was killed in Vietnam, played the guitar and sang songs in remembrance.

Steve Brunn, the support coordinator for the Survivor Outreach Services, gave an emotional speech detailing the work he and his organization have done working with veterans and their families, who are still dealing with problems stemming from

a war fought decades ago.

“There is not greater calling than serving your veterans,” Brunn said. “It’s important to serve the family and friends in the absence of their loved ones.”

Oak Harbor resident and Vietnam vet Gary Cagle, who is on the committee that helped put on the event, also got his chance to stress the importance of showing appreciation to those who served during the war.

“We’re doing this to welcome home the Vietnam vets because when we came home, we were called baby killers and spit on,” said Cagle, who was wounded while serving from 1966-67. “This is a make-up for the vets who served from 1962-72.

That’s what this is about — a welcome home and a thank you. That’s probably the main reason we do this, for the heroes and the ones who didn’t make it.”

Oregon passes law regulating second hand shops

By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon City Council passed an ordinance that requires second hand goods dealers, such as pawn brokers, to provide the police department with an electronic record of goods to help police deal with an increase in reports of receiving stolen property.

“The reason for this ordinance is that the Oregon police division has experienced an increase in crime for receiving stolen property by dealers and second hand goods,” said Law Director Melissa Purpura at a council meeting Monday. “This offense is often the result of the theft of jewelry, electronics, tools and other collectibles.

This ordinance would require second hand dealers to now keep records and provide those records online to the Oregon Police Division.”

It would allow police to better identify property that has been stolen and help get it back to the victims of those thefts, she added.

“It would provide stricter guidelines for the individuals who are now trying to sell those goods by having to give the dealers photo identification, their address and where they live. The dealers would be prohibited from purchasing any items that the serial numbers had either been destroyed or tampered with. So there’s more record keeping,” she said.

“LEEDS online, the electronic record keeping we are proposing in this ordinance, is nationally known. It will allow the police to select parameters in which they want to search for certain items that have been stolen so that they can better identify them,” she said.

The ordinance is similar to one in Toledo, she added. “So we would be consistent with the City of Toledo. One of our second hand dealers also has a business in Toledo. It would be consistent with the business they have in Oregon, with just a few minor changes.”

dinance was requested by the detective bureau.

“We had a case where there was a lot of property that showed up at one of our local businesses that came from a burglary in Northwood. This particular ordinance is before you at the request of our detective bureau,” said Navarre. “And we discovered that…the owner has two businesses – one in Toledo, where he complies with their local ordinance and reports to LEEDS online, which he is required to do. He doesn’t do that in Oregon. And we do not want to become the repository for stolen property because our laws are a little bit lax in that reporting requirement. LEEDS online is a service we subscribe to. It works very well.

In a perfect world, we wouldn’t have to subscribe to that service. The state would provide that service to us. But they don’t provide it, so law enforcement agencies across the country are using LEEDS online very effectively to track stolen property and return it to their rightful owners.”

Councilman Terry Reeves asked what type of permit is required to open dealerships or second hand shops in the city.

Purpura said permits are not currently required for second hand dealers in the city.

“Obviously, they have to make sure that if they’re opening a business, they’re complying with our zoning and they’re in an appropriate place. However, just to open a business of a second hand dealer, they are not required by the city. There are some state regulations that they have to abide by,” she said.

Reeves also asked whether a waiting period of 15 business days could be added to the ordinance in which the items could be sold.

Navarre said he would not object to a waiting period.

“That would be to our advantage. A business owner could object to that, especially if he has businesses in multiple jurisdictions. And each jurisdiction has different wait periods. But I don’t see that being a big issue,” said Navarre.

Track stolen property Police Chief Mike Navarre said the or-

Public access Reeves also asked if the public could

access information regarding stolen goods.

“Currently, they cannot do that,” said Navarre. “They can register their property that has been stolen by entering serial numbers and descriptions. For whatever reason, LEEDS online does not provide that access to the general public to go on and look.

They provide that to us, of course. And we’re able to do that. I can inquire. We have a training session coming up next week. A representative from LEEDS online is going to be there. I can ask that very question.”

City Administrator Mike Beazley said he thought the city’s LEEDS license specifically prohibits sharing such information with the public.

“There’s no reason we couldn’t get a

link if we’re legally allowed,” he said about providing such information on the city’s website.

Councilman Steve Hornyak asked how the ordinance would affect a jewelry store that buys precious metals.

“This would be applicable to any individuals who fit within the definition of buying used goods,” said Purpura. “If it’s jewelry that has been used that they are now purchasing and reselling it, that would fit within that definition.”

The city will notify companies that provide second hand goods about the new ordinance, said Council President Dennis Walendzak.

Delegate visit An 18-member European Professional Fellows Delegation from Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia recently met with Oregon City Administrator Mike Beazley. The meeting gave the delegation a chance to see how local government works and compare it to the system in their own countries. This delegations' visit is funded by the U.S. State Department and locally organized by WSOS community Action Commision and the Great Lakes Consortium. (Submitted photo)

Second heroin forum planned

Police Beats

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A second public forum to address heroin addiction problems in the Woodville-Elmore area has been scheduled for May 15 at 2 p.m. at Woodmore High School.

Organizers said the large turnout of about 300 residents for the first forum in March prompted them to plan a second to further discuss issues surrounding the opiate/heroin problem.

Panelists will include representatives from agencies in Ottawa and Sandusky counties and other organizations will have displays and resource information available.

“The large turnout for the Sunday afternoon (March) event, as well as the emotional participation from the audience, revealed that the communities are very aware that this epidemic is hitting too close to home and have asked for more information,” a release

by Two Villages, a local initiative of parents, educators, clergy, professionals and others from the Woodville and Elmore communities, says.

Panelists at the second forum will discuss signs of drug abuse, what to do if drug activity is suspected, what happens when police follow up on a call and other issues such as local detox and recovery options, how opiates affect the brain and what type of recovery programs work.

A question and answer session will follow.

During the first forum, the Rev. Tom Willhardt, of the Elmore Church of God, asked for a show of hands if residents knew someone affected by opiates or heroin. About three-quarters of those attending raised their hands.

A young Woodville woman gave a personal account of her own descent into and recovery from heroin addiction and the effect it had on her family.

Sgt. Jeffrey Harrison, of the Elmore Police Department, and Woodville Police Chief Roy Whitehead said their departments have both seen increases in crime related to the epidemic.

Chief Whitehead said families have reported missing jewelry, heirlooms, televisions and other valuables as desperate users need to pawn items for quick cash to support their habits.

“In late 2012, we started hearing rumors of heroin being brought into town and distributed. By 2013, we were seeing the proof,” he said prior to the first forum.

According to the Ohio Department of Health 2014 Preliminary Overdose Report, 39 drug-related deaths have occurred in Sandusky County from 2009-2014 and there were 22 deaths in Ottawa County during that time.

Walbridge/Gibsonburg

Village offices on the move

By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The administrative offices of two area villages are moving to new locations.

In the Village of Gibsonburg, officials expect to be in a building at 526 N. Webster within a few weeks, according to Marc Glotzbecker, administrator.

“We don’t have an exact date yet,” he said, “But we’re looking at the next couple of weeks. It’s on the near horizon.”

The village purchased the property in December 2014, according to records in the Sandusky County auditor’s office. The building’s former owner used it to manufacture concrete items for Whirlpool Corp.

Glotzbecker said village officials last summer began planning renovations for the building to accommodate municipal offices.

“The idea of a new municipal complex was discussed for quite a while,” he said.

“The option for the building came up and we took a good hard look at it. We compared it to some other municipal complexes that would be similar, Woodville’s being one. And we factored in the overall cost for us to find suitable land in the village and build. This was a better option for us.”

The village plans to transfer the deed to the former town hall building at 120 N. Main to Madison Township.

Walbridge Walbridge Mayor Ed Kolanko said the administrative staff has been hearing positive comments from residents since the village began operating from municipal offices at 705 N. Main.

“We’re pretty much all moved in,” he said Thursday. “It’s been a gradual process but things are going well. People are slowly becoming more comfortable with our new home.”

The village purchased the property from Main Street United Brethren in Christ, Inc. and will continue to lease a portion of the building to the Wood County Committee on Aging for its senior center, the mayor said.

“It’s really great to have them in the same building,” he said. “It gives us more of a community centered complex.”

Village council will continue to hold meetings in the building at 111 N. Main until late May, the mayor said. A special meeting will be held then to approve an ordinance designating the location at 705 Main as the official municipal complex.

An open house at the new site is being planned.

The mayor said he wants the transition to the new location to be “a really memorable experience” for residents.

Council will list the former municipal building for sale, he said.

Women’s Connection luncheon approaches Area women are invited to attend a luncheon and program sponsored by the Toledo East Women’s Connection May 12 at noon at the Bayside Boardwalk, Oregon.

Doors will open at 11:30 a.m. Leanne Lutz, from Sylvania, will show her custom-made quilts and other items. Kristan

Church Worship Guide Deadline: Thursday 11:00 am

Inspirational Message of the Week: Desperation The shining dreams and ideals of youth often become tarnished and faded in mid-life. We expected great things from life but are disappointed to see our dreams unfulfilled and time running out. Thoreau famously remarked that “Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.” Living with this desperation takes a heavy toll which few can bear. Most of us either relinquish the dreams or lower our expectations. Some of us continue to believe that the brass ring might still be grasped. But no one can live with the thought that they have somehow failed at life, or failed to live up to their own ideals. So how should we face this? How do we live in such a way that we can

Oregon

approach the grave with a full-throated singing of our dreams and ideals? One way is to keep doing the best that we can, knowing we are finite creatures who often stumble. But, at least if we know that we have run the race with determination, never giving up, we will know we have done our best. We should also realize that this isn’t an individual race, but a relay race, where we have taken the baton from others and will soon pass it on.

And finally, to complete the analogy, the coach of our team is God, and ultimately God’s team will win. We are all cosmic winners if we are on the side of goodness.

“When my spirit grows faint within me, it is you who watch over my way.” Psalm 142:3

Board opposes renewal of two teacher contracts In a divided vote, the Oregon school board decided not to renew contracts for two teachers at its April 19 meeting.

The board voted 3-2 not to renew the contracts for Amy Hineline, a fifth grade teacher at Eisenhower Intermediate School and Ana Hernandez, a Spanish 1 teacher at Fassett Junior High School.

Terri Hook, president of the Oregon City Federation of Teachers, spoke on behalf of Hineline and Hernandez at the meeting. Hook said she had “great concern” that the teachers were highly rated by trained evaluators, which she believed should carry more weight.

“The teachers…were hired to do a job.

They were hired to not only teach, but to educate the students of this district,” said Hook. “According to the evaluations performed by the trained evaluators, who are the same building administrators who recommended their employment, both teachers are currently rated as “skilled” for their teacher performance.

“Are the time and treasury of the Oregon City Schools so rich and deep that the amount of effort and money that have been spent on the development, training, evaluation, and resource allocation for these individuals is simply disposable?,” Hook continued. “Are we so flush with money and resources that we can afford not to extend employment to teachers who have been evaluated as skilled?”

Hook said teachers in the district would be concerned if they did not have their contracts renewed, even though it was proved they were skilled in the classroom.

“I am concerned the message being sent out to all of the teachers in all of our schools is that even if they are skilled in their classroom performance and nurturing of students, other forces will be at play when considered for contract renewal, that are solely up to the discretion of an evaluator and not based on current understandings and intentions of the evaluation process,” she said. “These teachers are skilled

“

All of the reasons were discussed in executive session so I cannot comment

“

By Melissa Burden Special to The Press

according to the evaluation tool set forth by the Ohio Department of Education and executed by the approved credentialed evaluators of this district. Their performance warrants their employment and we are fortunate to have teachers who want to be part of this school system at these stages of their careers.”

Past practice Hook then pointed out that the board’s decision that evening not to renew contracts for long-term substitute teachers Susan Lind, Kelly Proestos and Deanna Tipton was listed as “in accordance with past practice.”

She said it “clearly states the action is based on past practice.”

“Voting to non-renew teachers with skilled performance ratings does not have `past practice’ in our school district,” Hook said. “It has occurred with teachers with ineffective or unsatisfactory performance ratings and when correct processes were followed. I reiterate that the Oregon City Federation of Teachers does not believe the basis for non-renewal for these individuals has been met.”

The board then went into executive

session, a meeting that the public is not permitted to attend. Only certain issues can be discussed in executive session, such as personnel matters.

Molnar said the board would not return to the public meeting.

“There will be no decisions made and we will go ahead and dismiss directly from executive session,” said Molnar.

But when executive session was over, the board resumed the public meeting and voted 3-2 not to renew the teachers’ contracts.

Board members Michael Csehi and Keith Kennedy voted against non-renewing the contracts, while Molnar, Jeff Ziviski, and Heather Miller voted in favor of not renewing the contracts.

Number of reasons Reached after the meeting, Molnar said there were a number of reasons as to why the contracts were not renewed but would not disclose them since discussions were held in executive session.

“All of the reasons were discussed in executive session so I cannot comment,” Molnar said.

The school board, which routinely records public meetings and posts the audio on its website, had problems with the April 19 recording and was unable to post the meeting in its entirety. Subsequently, all of Hook’s remarks were not recorded due to technical issues.

At the beginning of the audio, Superintendent Hal Gregory explains that portions of the April 19 meeting, including public participation, were missing, due to “technical error or human error.”

The audio picks up the meeting with only nine minutes left, with Molnar saying there were several children who wanted to speak, but public participation was over.

“I have several children who would like to speak,” Molnar said. “This is an adult meeting. We appreciate the children coming, we really do. This is an adult meeting. The board has decided that we really don’t think we should have children speaking at this meeting tonight.”

Oregon seeks input to improve landscaping at city hall

By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon is seeking input on designs to improve landscaping in the front of the municipal complex on Seaman Street.

“We had talked about improving the landscaping as you walk into this building out front – the trees, bushes and shrubs,” Mayor Mike Seferian said to council at a meeting on Monday. “It’s hard to keep weeds out of the grounds we have now.

I’m willing to listen to further input. We did get a price [quote] and drawing from Woodville Nursery [for landscaping] that is easy to maintain.”

The cost of the project, he added, was about $20,000. Woodville Nursery did not charge for its proposed design.

“It entails a lot of work. Even though we would have the ability to do that, does council have any objections to going forward with that improvement before we ac-

tually did something?” asked Seferian.

Councilwoman Sandy Bihn said she would like to see more price quotes on the project.

“Did we ask other people to give us a proposal as well so we could compare it?” she asked.

Seferian said there were no other quotes.

“That’s hard to do. We haven’t in the past,” said Seferian. “Anytime we did it, we considered it a professional service.

Then we got to the point where…we had to pay for the design.”

“It just concerns me that others in the community provide these services, and we haven’t reached out to them…to see what they would charge or suggest,” said Bihn.

“It’s not that it’s a bad proposal.”

Bihn said the city received more than one quote and design when improvements were made along Navarre Avenue.

“We reached out to people. It just seems to me we ought to be getting a quote

from someone else as well,” she said.

“That doesn’t come so easily,” said Seferian. “There’s a lot of work in putting it together. It’s a fairly costly thing, but it’s a lot of work, too. That’s why I asked. It’s not a secret. You yourself said it doesn’t look so sharp walking in here.”

“It’s better now than it was a long time ago when the weeds were all growing and the bushes were all bad,” said Bihn. “It’s not as good as it could be, but not as awful as it used to be.”

Councilman Steve Hornyak said he would like to see the project proposal.

“Something I would like to see, before we commit to spending money on the project, is maybe get a look at what the project proposal is,” said Hornyak. “I’d like to see what we’re approving if we have a rendering.”

Seferian said he just wanted further input on the project and to find out if council agreed to move forward.

The Redwoods of Northern California

Bicyclist rides through “The Cathedral of the Giants” Al Thompson left Northwest Ohio on August 17 on a bicycle ride around the perimeter of the United States in an effort to raise funds for Habitat for Humanity and Save the Children.

Here is an excerpt from his blog, which you can follow by going to presspublications.com and clicking the icon in the upper right corner.

I have felt as though I’ve run a marathon at the end of each these Golden State days

“

Hello Folks: Some have stood for over 2,000 years.

They were here before the Birth of Christ... probably just young and robust saplings then, but well on their way in their 2,000 year journey upward to become the tallest living organisms on the planet. At 350 feet tall, they have no equal in the plant or animal kingdom. The Redwoods of Northern California are a sight to behold and cherish.

A bicycle ride along The Avenue of The Giants through Humboldt Redwoods State Park is magical. It could be called The Cathedral of The Giants, because like a medieval cathedral, one’s eyes are drawn upward to the vaulted canopy of foliage far above. Rays of sunlight filter through the tree tops and seem to compete for places to illuminate on the shaded forest floor.

They range in a narrow coastal band 25 to 35 miles wide for a distance of five to six hundred miles from Southwest Oregon to central California; in fact, the Redwoods of Big Sur are at their southern limit. They used to encompass 1,000,000,000 acres of coastal territory bathed by the dense fogs of the Pacific, but are now down to approximately 150,000 acres having fallen victim to climate change, human incursions, and lumber companies wanting to turn these Living Giants into homes.

Thank goodness for those who had the foresight back in the early part of the 20th century to preserve these groves for future generations to appreciate and wonder at.

This preservation is commemorated in Founders Grove where a ceremony was held decades ago at the base of Founders Tree, an immense Redwood that reaches 346 feet skyward standing straight and true

“

Have you hugged a Redwood today? and tall and proud. It is good to know that these awesome creations of nature are here and that they HAVE BEEN preserved, and that they will be here for centuries and centuries for all to enjoy . . . for as long as there are Redwoods.

I did get my 8,000 miles, and it happened in a very appropriate place Eureka - which is what I exclaimed as 8,000 miles graced my odometer. My ride through northern California has been good the north winds have abated somewhat and the beauty and serenity of these Redwood forests evokes a sense of reverence for what nature has created here.

The climbing has been difficult along

this rugged northern California coastline - for a while yesterday I thought I was back in Big Sur as I pushed hard up and over a headland of 1,500 feet or more, and then down to sea level and into Crescent City, only a few miles from the California/ Oregon state line.

I have felt as though I’ve run a marathon at the end of each these Golden State days . . . in fact, I probably burn as many calories as a 26.2 mile run . . . or more. Fortunately, there have been a few coastal plains of late where the peddling is easier, and a welcome break from the constant climbing is appreciated by this cyclist.

I’ve ridden my final miles in California.

There have been 1,400 of them since I entered The Golden State at Needles (which was my 2nd entrance - the first didn’t go so well as you may recall)...a few hundred more than my crossing of Texas since I rode not only the width of California from east to west across the Mohave Desert, but also almost all of the coastline from LA to the Oregon border. It’s been a struggle with the wind and rugged west coast terrain, so it was a joy to ride 24 easy miles along a flat coastal plain aided by a rare south wind - a most fitting way to enter the great Northwest and my 25th state. Hello Oregon.

The weather is turning colder, and the rains are coming in off the Pacific this weekend . . . hunkering down here in the small coastal town of Brookings for a day or two before Proceeding On up the majestic Oregon coastline.

The good food movement needs science, too Guest Editorial

By Jill Richardson

“

The answer to science that leads to animal cruelty and environmental degradation, however, isn’t less science. It’s better science.

“

Perhaps you’ve heard some organic food advocates say, “We should just roll back the clock and farm the way we used to” — before modern science gave us factory farms and genetically modified ingredients.

Others disagree, saying that we’d all starve if we didn’t use science and technology in farming.

It’s a big debate. But maybe the turning of a clock isn’t the right metaphor.

Instead, I thought recently of an old Chinese saying: “Draw snake, add legs.”

It refers to when someone gets so carried away in doing something that they carry it too far, ruining it by adding extra, useless things.

A study of how our food system developed over the last century appears to be a clear case of drawing a snake and adding legs.

My master’s thesis is on chickens. I’ve dug into historical documents going back to the late 1800s to learn how Americans raised chickens over time. It’s not a pretty picture.

At the start of the 20th century, breeders bred chickens for aesthetic qualities that would win chicken shows. They took no notice of whether their chickens were any good at laying eggs or valuable for meat.

That might be nice if awards from chicken shows put food on the table, but I think eggs and meat taste better than blue ribbons.

It wasn’t a great deal for the chickens, either.

A 1918 study found some American city dwellers keeping up to 200 chickens in their backyards as for-profit ventures. The researchers reported that each person inter-

viewed claimed to take good care of their chickens. Yet examinations found the birds covered in lice.

In one instance, a woman had 60 more chickens in her yard than could fit in her coop. In another case, some of the chickens died and the owner left them to rot in the yard. A few times, the researcher noted the smell was so bad he could barely tolerate staying long enough to conduct the interview.

As late as the 1950s, scientists still didn’t know everything there was to know about chicken nutrition. Chickens survived because they foraged outside to meet their nutritional needs. Diseases that are now

rare were common. Early incubators served to spread germs, so that one infected chick spread disease to all of the others as they hatched.

Have science and technology improved these conditions? Absolutely.

Did we take it too far? Did we draw legs on a snake? I would say so.

Once scientists figured out how to cope with disease and provide for all of a chicken’s nutritional needs in a manufactured feed, they found they could keep them in confinement. The cooped-up birds went from having four to five square feet each in the early 20th century to just half a square foot apiece by 1966.

Stressed by confinement, chickens began pecking one another — sometimes to death. A solution, devised in 1942, was de-beaking. Breeders found that if they removed the tip of each bird’s beak, this kind of stress-induced pecking became less lethal.

The answer to science that leads to animal cruelty and environmental degradation, however, isn’t less science. It’s better science. There’s no need to turn back the clock on progress, or to erase the snake and start over.

Today’s science tells us that eggs are more healthful when hens are allowed to forage on bugs and grass. And odds are, if you want to keep backyard chickens, you’ll be grateful for a century of work eradicating parasites and disease. So will your neighbors.

If we use our judgment, we can find a way to move forward sustainably, healthfully, humanely — and scientifically.

Your effect on others may be greater than you think It’s too common to think that no one cares about what you do. This belief causes you to feel inconsequential. Wouldn’t it be nice if you really made a difference to other people? This would give your life added significance and impact.

Social media is used as an attentiongetting platform. People lay bare virtually every aspect of their existence in the hope of being noticed. Being outrageous is a typical strategy to stand out from the crowd.

It’s thought that the more extreme the behavior, the better.

It’s ironic, that while in pursuit of being the next big viral sensation, these people don’t realize how much positive influence they can legitimately have on others.

You influence more people and situations than you realize. How you act on a regular basis matters.

There are many people who are affected by your actions. Virtually everyone you come into contact with can be influenced by the good examples you set. From family, to strangers, the energy you radiate through your actions has an impact.

You can never go wrong by doing the right thing. There are no negative side effects to acting morally and ethically, being courteous and polite, and treating others with dignity and respect. There’s no benefit to lowering yourself to engage others in aberrant behavior.

Acting with anger or malice creates a negative influence. When you engage in negative behavior, you inflame a situation,

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden rather than working towards a resolution.

Negative people expect you to react in a negative way. This expectation is based on their experience since most people react negatively to being treated poorly.

You have the power to break this continually negative cycle. Actually, the only chance to have a positive influence on another person is through showing by example; acting in the way they should be behaving. Being nice to someone who doesn’t expect it is a great experience, which often results in a smile.

Being genuinely pleasant, polite, and friendly in your interaction with others, has great potential to brighten someone else’s day. Even surly individuals are not beyond the effect of a friendly face or a kind word.

Saying please and thank you has an amazingly positive influence. Just about everyone likes to be asked politely, rather than being barked at. Virtually all people crave the recognition which is provided by a sincere thank you. Good manners and courtesy have no destructive side effects.

Being polite in all of your interactions is an invaluable character trait.

Setting a positive example is a powerful influence. Your actions always speak louder than your words. Maintain a standard of excellence. Don’t be satisfied with mediocre. Do more than is expected.

Remember, a small amount of extra effort produces results far in excess of the effort required.

Your character should be beyond reproach. All of your actions must be honorable. Your word has to be absolutely reliable. Always do what you say you will do.

You do what’s right because it is the right thing to do. Stand up for the rights of others. Intercede when you witness incivility.

Through the way you live your life, you will have a positive influence on others. This is especially true as you raise your children. You are their role model.

They look to the examples you set. Always behave in the manner you would like them to emulate.

You should always be proud of the way you behave. This is not always the easiest route but it is the one with the strongest foundation. Influencing others is not the objective, it is the result.

A better offer To the editor: We have lived at 225 Guy Street in Walbridge for 48 years.

Recently, the property next to us at 223 Guy was acquired by the village and the house was razed. The lot needs several trees pruned or removed, black top and concrete removed as well as several truckloads of dirt brought in. With these future costs in mind, we offered to pay $5,000 plus last year’s taxes and this year’s taxes for the lot.

We received an email from the mayor that village council was going to have a first reading of an ordinance to have the property donated to Habitat for Humanity.

When my wife went to this meeting she asked why our offer wasn’t accepted. Their explanation was because we had no current plans to build on the lot.

Our question is, how can it be more economically feasible to give away the lot than to immediately return it to the tax rolls while at the same time removing it from the list of properties the village must maintain? Is the village going to do this with every residential property in town it is now maintaining?

The village has already given away one lot in the south part of town to Habitat and is going to give property to the Wood County Public Library. We guess the village is much better off financially than some might believe.

If you agree with us please contact the mayor and council and let them know this is not a good financial decision.

The buzz on cicadas To the editor: Cicadas – which will emerge this spring in the Northeast after 17 years underground – are causing quite a buzz.

In some parts of the world, these musical insects are considered good luck, and they’re good for the environment, too.

Cicada nymphs’ tunnels aerate the soil, allowing more water to reach trees’ roots.

Female cicadas perform a natural pruning service for large trees. When cicadas die, their bodies provide a nitrogen-rich fertilizer, resulting in trees that grow faster and flowers that produce larger seeds.

If you’re lucky enough to hear the cicadas’ love song this spring, please respect these beneficial insects and let them complete their life cycle in peace. For more tips on living in harmony with wildlife, visit www.PETA.org.

America’s poor aid in the quest for a greener country Do a Google search for “How do the poor benefit society?” and you will get “Your search did not match any documents.”

Not one.

To give you an idea how rare this is, Google the nonsensical “htftp” and you’ll get 2,590 references. Google “poor people in America” and you’ll get 331,000 references.

An estimated 46.7 million Americans, or one in seven of us, is considered poor, according to the United States Census Bureau. The Federal Government spends $500 billion to lift them up. The consensus is that the poor are not only a drain on society, but that they abuse drugs and alcohol, have a higher percentage of obesity and commit a higher percentage of crime than the rest of us.

So, do the poor not provide any benefit to us as a society?

Well, not exactly. I recently heard Paul Cook, director of Helping Hands of St. Louis, talk before the East Toledo Club.

What he had to say there and, in a subsequent interview at his East Toledo facility, show that the poor benefit society in at least one way—they make us a greener society.

In fact, you could call “The Helping Hands of St. Louis” “The Green Helping Hands of St. Louis” for its contributions to the environment. Cook provided the following examples: The kitchen serves lunches to an average 270 diners a day for a total of 70,420 meals in fiscal 2015. Much of this food is nearing the best-sell-by dates at corporate donors Kroger, Meijer, Gordon Foods, Snyder-Hanover and Sofo’s.

Cook sometimes has to scramble to use all the food. One time, he received 95 cases of salad and had to coordinate efforts with the Seagate Food Bank which supplies more than 400 food pantries and programs throughout Northwest Ohio. Sometimes, what he gets is comical. Once, it was 95 cases of pepperoni. But, no matter what it is, Cook and his staff do their best to make sure none of it goes to waste.

Paul Cook, director of Helping Hands of St. Louis Michael’s Gourmet Catering also donates day old food from its bakery and wedding receptions. Cook says he just secured the same arrangement with The Pinnacle, one of the area’s most prestigious reception halls.

It’s not an idle boast when Cook says, “Everybody who walks through the kitchen door eats and we have the best food in the city.”

Canned and boxed goods nearing the best-sell-by date are also donated and available to those in need through the pantry.

In fiscal 2015, Helping Hands received 204,232 pounds of food.

Much of this food would go to waste were it not for the poor. In fact, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council, 40

percent of all food in the U.S. goes to waste, much of it headed for the landfill where it decomposes and produces methane.

The poor also serve as a recycler of used clothing. Helping Hands provides free clothes to those in need. In fiscal 2015, some 81,168 pounds were donated, too much of it women’s clothing, too little of it men’s. Cook explained, “Women are always changing their wardrobes and making themselves look wonderful. Us guys we hang on to stuff until it falls off our bodies.”

Clothes that are too stretched out, worn or otherwise unacceptable are sold to Easter Seals for 20 cents a pound to be used for rags, or sent to third-world countries, Cook said.

The poor recently made the cull-

ing of the deer herd in the Metroparks a more tasteful necessity. Scott Carpenter, Metroparks spokesperson, said the park system donated some 6,240 pounds of ground venison to three non-profits including Helping Hands. The venison was valued at an estimated $62,500. Processing was paid for by a non-profit organization called Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Homeless.

“Making sure meat from hunting or culling is used for food and not wasted is a long held conservation ethic,” Carpenter stated. If not for Helping Hands and organizations like it, the park system would have to explore other options.

Paul Cook can tell you stories about the stereotypical poor he sees every day.

Some live on the edge because of their own undoing whether it’s because of addiction or poor choices. He can also tell you many stories about those who walked through his doors because they lost their jobs and then their homes. He can tell you about those he no longer sees because they overcame temporary poverty through hard work and sacrifice.

All deserve to be treated with dignity, Cook says. “You never know how Jesus is going to show up.

The disparity in income in America between the “one percenters” and the poor will be a hot issue this presidential election.

There are legitimate concerns about the cost of government assistance, however, in a capitalistic society, there will always be inefficiencies and waste and the poor serve as a green force to reduce landfill space and the ensuing greenhouse gases.

Natural Wanders

by Art Weber

Granville, Ohio is Americana personified Granville, Ohio, is one of those classic central Ohio communities that’s always fun to visit.

“We’re just so darned cute,” said local historian Jeff Gill. “We’re Currier and Ives at Christmas time and Norman Rockwell on the Fourth of July.”

It’s Americana personified.

Granville is sedate, dignified, beautiful, and, in season, festooned with flowers.

It’s home for Denison University and two of Ohio’s oldest and best-known inns – the Granville Inn and, right across main street, the Buxton. It’s all just minutes east of Columbus, and even closer to Newark with its Hopewell Culture earthworks, the Works Museum, and the former headquarters for Longaberger Baskets.

The Inn is rife with stories of guests experiencing, um…paranormal activity.

Usually it appears in the form of the deceased Major Buxton himself, the Lady in Blue or even her cat, which reputedly curls up at the feet of some guests.

Orrville Orr and his wife Audrey owned the inn from 1972 until late 2014. Orrville is a quietly engaging man in his 70s. If his demeanor isn’t enough to elicit trust, then his divinity school training should cinch it.

Understandably, his religious beliefs clash a bit with the notion of ghosts permeating his establishment.

Yet his own experiences, none of them unpleasant, have brought him to say, “I don’t try to explain these things, they just happen. They just appear as real people.”

The night clerk, who roams the empty old halls without the benefit of comforting

“We’ve had guests already on the road, headed out of town without bothering to try and check out,” the clerk said. “The husband in one couple called and said he and his wife had left, they’re headed home, and they didn’t care what we did with their credit card.”

Gill talked about ghosts to a group that was dining at the Buxton, reassuring them that the ghostly encounters have been friendly and mostly restricted to several of the oldest rooms. Bonnie Bounell, an inn

“I think I already have,” blurted one of the guests in surprise. He quickly turning to his wife. “Earlier today I thought it was odd you were wearing such a strong perfume, and I almost said something to you.”

It turned out his wife was neither wearing perfume, nor did she detect the strong gardenia smell herself, though she was right there.

National touring act to visit Pemberville Opera House Fresh from its New York debut, “Lovers & Monsters,” will perform at the Pemberville Opera House May 14 at 7 p.m. and May 15 at 2 p.m. The Pemberville performance is part of the national touring show’s tour of historical venues.

The comedic cabaret with dark undertones follows the story of two women brought together after an unintentional audition for the circus.

Featuring raw emotional storytelling and the stunning vocals of Kristyn Murphy and Abbie Stands, the show sets itself apart from a traditional cabaret with video projection, utilizing various videos to progress a distinct storyline with a movie screen backdrop. Joining the “Lovers & Monsters” show is Ohio based pianist Dean T. Marcellana.

“Within each person lies both a lover and a monster,” Stands said. “The colorful moments of romance, the childish ways we hold to, and the exotic people we encounter help shape the songs and stories in the narrative of these two women as they explore their own ‘Lovers & Monsters.’”

“Lovers & Monsters” is non-profit fine arts project produced by AK Touring, a new company that focuses on bringing live entertainment and revenue to historic venues in order to help keep them maintained and to help in the restoration process.

Tickets are $15. Half of all ticket sales will go to help the Pemberville Opera House raise funds for its ongoing elevator

Free fishing weekend Ohio is known for its world-class fishing, and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) invites state residents to take part in the annual free fishing weekend May 7 and 8.

Free Fishing Days are open to all Ohio residents and extend to all of Ohio’s public waters, including Lake Erie and the Ohio River. This is the only weekend all year that does not require anyone 16-years-old or older to obtain a fishing license.

The ODNR Division of Wildlife’s six fish hatcheries stocked more than 55 million sport fish in public waters in 2015, including walleye, saugeye, steelhead, rainbow trout, brown trout, muskellunge, channel catfish, blue catfish and hybrid striped bass, which will provide opportunities for more than 1.3 million Ohio anglers.

Ohio State Parks is also offering a camping discount during Ohio’s Free Fishing Days. Campers can receive a 20 percent off discount May 6-7 by using the promotion code 16ANGLER. The Free Fishing Days weekend offers Ohioans of all ages the chance to experience the fun of catching a fish.

Anglers 16 years and older are required to have a valid fishing license to take fish, frogs or turtles from Ohio waters when not fishing on Ohio’s free fishing weekend. An Ohio resident fishing license is only $19 a year for residents. Fishing licenses are available at participating agents and wildohio. gov.

The sales of fishing licenses, along with the Sport Fish Restoration (SFR) program, continue to fund ODNR Division of Wildlife’s fish management operations. No state tax dollars are used for these activities.

Mom’s Day fun Be transported south of the border to celebrate Mexico’s rich heritage with a traditional fiesta at the Toledo Zoo’s Cinco de Mayo Celebration May 1.

Cinco de Mayo literally translates to the fifth of May but it is much more than simply a calendar date. On May 5, 1862 underdog Mexican forces defeated the powerful French Army at the Battle of Puebla. While the battle was not a huge strategic win, it was a moral, patriotic and unifying victory.

The Zoo’s celebration will feature live entertainment from El Corazon de Mexico Folklorico Dance Group, music provided by DJ Tony Rios, piñatas, Mexican paper flower crafts and other fun activities.

The festivities will take place on the Main Plaza 11a.m.-3 p.m. unless inclement weather forces the fiesta indoors to the Museum of Science. The full schedule of activities can be found at toledozoo.org/cinco.

The family friendly fiesta is free with regular Zoo admission.

Celebrating mom All moms receive free Zoo admission when accompanied by at least one child on Sunday, May 8. In addition, the Zoo is celebrating in support of M.O.M., Missing Orangutan Mothers – an orangutan outreach organization. Each year, more and more orangutans (including moms and babies) are killed or left homeless as their native rainforest habitat is cleared for palm oil plantations. To help raise awareness for the protection of these amazing creatures, orangutan keepers and staff will be on hand to educate visitors and facilitate hands-on activities to help everyone learn more about the threats and how our small actions can make a big difference for Yaz and Wakil’s wild counterparts.

Movie Night The sweet sound of birdsong provides the background music to so much of our outdoor lives – everything from strolls and hikes in the woodlands, backyard barbecues and even the walk from the car into the grocery store and back.

Can you imagine a world without songbirds? Most of us wouldn’t want to.

Over the course of the year, Rynard and her team filmed on three continents, following the seasons and the birds. From the northern reaches of the Boreal Forest to the base of Mount Ararat in Turkey to the streets of New York, the film gives audiences a bird’s-eye view of a variety of human-made perils that have devastated thrushes, warblers, orioles, tanagers, grosbeaks and many

For Don Dauer, theatre is definitely in his blood

By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com Don Dauer, a 1976 Waite High School graduate, caught the theatre bug 15 years ago.

“I have always enjoyed the theatre and did some in high school,” Dauer said.

“My favorite has always been anything

by Andrew Lloyd Webber. When I was told that the Oregon Community Theatre was doing “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” I just had to try out for it. I was a member of the chorus and I was hooked.”

Dauer has been a member of the OCT for 15 years and has served the group in every capacity possible. He has directed, been a stage manager, worked on props and has performed over the years. He is also the OCT treasurer.

“Once I started there was no stopping me,” he said. “I really have made some great friends. Everyone is like family.”

Dauer said he attended the University of Toledo for one year before deciding to change his direction and go to barber school.

“I wanted a career and to get on with my life,” he explained. “I was also dating the young lady who would become my wife.”

Dauer has been married 36 years to his wife Joyce. The couple married on the third anniversary of the death of Elvis. They have two children: Andrew, 23, of Toledo and Joel, 17, who is a junior at Whitmer High School.

He has owned the Olde Tyme Barber Saloon on Navarre Avenue in East Toledo for 34 years. He credits his wife and children for being allowed to be involved in the theatre.

“My wife is not theatre person,” Dauer said. “She likes to see the productions, but she will not get on stage. I could not do anything without my family. When you do a production you are committed to showing up almost every night for eight weeks.

Don Dauer has played a variety of roles in his career. Top left, in “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.” Top right, as the professor in “Gilligan’s Island:The Musical.” Bottom left, in the one-act comedy “The Soon-To-Be In Laws.” (Press file photos by Ken Grosjean) Bottom right in “Moonlight and Magnolias.” (Photo courtesy of Oregon Community Theatre) My wife and my children have allowed me to go off and play dress up with my crazy friends.”

Reed Steele, president of the OCT, has known Dauer for 10 years. Steele said he

has never seen him in a bad mood.

“Don is a fun-loving, happy guy who does not seem to let a lot of things bother him,” Steele said. “He has been involved directly or indirectly in at least one pro-

duction per year. I performed side-by-side with him in ‘Moonlight and Magnolias’ in February and it was a blast.”

Having a sunny disposition could have been a challenge to Dauer after an accident when he was 16 eventually left him without a foot.

“I had a cut on my toe that became infected,” he said. “The doctors spent two years trying to battle the infection. I spent a large share of high school being tutored at home. It finally got to the point where it was amputate the foot or die. It really has not been a problem. The foot prosthetic I have has been wonderful and allows me to do what I want to do.”

Dauer said his favorite production to date has been ‘Les Misérables,’ which he directed. He does not have a least favorite show.

“It was an outstanding production,” he said. “The sets were amazing and the people who worked on that show did an outstanding job. In theatre, even if something is not going so well it is still better than a good day at work.”

Dauer said he has also learned a lot being involved in the OCT. “I have learned that you don’t do anything good by yourself,” Dauer explained.

“It is all a collaborative effort. You learn cooperation and compromise, especially as a director. You also learn the value of trust. If you are on stage and forget a line, the people you are with will help you. It is kind of like a ‘trust fall.” That is the way theatre works a lot of the time.”

The OCT will begin working on the children’s theatre production of “James and the Giant Peach.” For the third year in a row, Pastor Beth Giller, of St. Mark Lutheran Church, will direct the production that will include 100 children, he said.

Auditions will be held on Saturday, May 28, and Sunday, May 29 from 2-4 p.m., with call-backs set for Monday, May 30, at 6:30 p.m.

Questionable Decision in Walbridge, Ohio My wife and I have lived at 225 Guy St. in Walbridge for over 48 years.

Recently the property next to us at 223 Guy was acquired by the village and the house was razed. The lot needs several trees severely pruned or removed as well as black top and concrete removed and several truckloads of dirt brought in.

With these future costs in mind, we offered to pay $5,000 plus last year’s taxes and this year’s taxes for this lot.

We received an email from the mayor that council was going to have a first reading on an ordinance to have this property donated to Habitat for Humanity. When my wife went to this meeting she asked why our offer was not accepted. Their explanation is because we had no current plans to build on the lot.

Our question is how can it be more economically feasible to give away the lot than to immediately return it to the tax rolls while at the same time removing it from the list of properties the village must maintain? Are they going to do this with every residential property in town that they are maintaining now?

The village has already given away one lot in the south part of town to Habitat and is going to give property to the Wood County Library. I guess the Village is much better off than some might believe.

If you agree with us please contact the Mayor and let him and council know this is not a good financial decision.

Request for help answered When Kurt and Corinna Bench, owners of Shared Legacy Farms, needed help assisting a family of migrant workers they found an abundance of it among the members of their Community Supported Agriculture network of customers.

Kurt had received a desperate call from Lucero Medina. On their way from Florida to the Shared Legacy Farms in Elmore for the summer’s work, Lucero, her parents, and her 2-year-old son, Aaron, had become stranded on an interstate highway near Atlanta, Georgia when their truck caught fire.

“What do we do?” Kurt asked. “We need to help them and we need them here.

I have no plan B.” Corinna texted the farm’s CSA members, asking for donations. “Kurt and I planned to drive to Atlanta ourselves in a marathon convoy to pick them up from downtown Atlanta,” Corinna said, asking members to text her if they could help.

The response has been overwhelming.

The family is safe in Elmore at the Bench’s farm. Food for Thought donated enough food to help the family for days. Nearly 20 people have contacted Corinna and Kurt with offers to donate food, gift cards or personal items. Others have offered to send money to help with the costs of the U-Haul rental and truck repairs and one person has offered to let the family use a personal vehicle while the family’s truck is being repaired. Jon Pietrowksi, the truck driver, insisted on paying for the fuel for the overnight trip to Atlanta.

“There is no way I can fully describe the surreal experience it has been for me to watch this unfold in ways I had never anticipated,” Corinna emailed to CSA members. “I had hoped to raise some food donations and Meijer gift cards to help offset their lack of funds for the first few weeks.

Never would I have imagined that all the other needs would have been met – and not just a ‘little bit met’ – met in superlative creative ways.”

Mom, I am enjoying the time we’ve been able to spend together. You mean the world to me.

Love you always.

TYSON

Tyson is ready to play! Tyson is 6 months old and is an outgoing, social boy that loves to make new friends. He likes to toss around squeaky toys and play fetch, and he also enjoys being around other dogs.He along with many other lovable canines are all looking to share their love with a new family.

Come meet them today at 410 S Erie St Toledo, 419-213-2800, open Mon-Fri 11-7, Sat & Sun 11-5. If you are missing a dog please come and walk through the kennels. Stay up to date with all the exciting happenings and events at LCCC&C on FaceBook, and lucascounty . Share the love and adopt a shelter dog today!

Hi, I'm Gus! The kind people at Maumee Valley Save-A-Pet say I'm one of their sweetest cats, and for some reason they laugh every time I wag my stumpy little tail like a dog. I was found as a stray; no one knows if I was abandoned or just lost, but one thing is for sure....I didn't have any business being on the streets.

For one thing, I'm declawed.

And I'm diabetic! Don't worry though, diabetes is very treatable in a home setting where I can get the little bit of extra attention that I need. I would love to find my forever home, but a foster home would be great too! Staff isn't at the shelter around the clock, so the best thing for me is to be in a home environment where I can get my twice daily insulin injections at the same time every day and have a watchful eye on me in the unlikely event that my sugar gets too low. If you're not squeemish around needles, stop by Maumee Valley SaveA-Pet at 5250 Hill Avenue (at Reynolds) Wednesday through Saturday from 12 - 5 pm and let's go home together!
