Standoff

A standoff at 1137 Earl Street, East Toledo, brought the Toledo Police SWAT Team to the scene Thursday morning. One suspect was arrested after fleeing from police where a chase began at Varland near Woodville Rd. The other suspect was found dead in the house but police say it is not clear at this time if he was killed by an officer or if it was selfinflicted. One of the suspects shot and killed a K-9.

900 hours worked

Forty volunteers clean 14 properties By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com Volunteers witnessed arrests, found tires, picked up garbage, mowed, weeded, raked and did whatever was necessary to clean up an East Toledo neighborhood during T-Town Action Week. For six days, 40 volunteers spent 900 volunteer hours cleaning up the area between Starr to Navarre and Oak to White, focusing on East Broadway over to Main to Oak. Ages of volunteers ranged from 11 to 72, and they focused on “the worst of the worst” — 14 properties, and mowed over 30 properties during the course of the week. The basic premise is — if they don’t do it, then who will? Among the volunteers were youth employees from Pathway and the City of Toledo’s Neighborhood Department. Police set up a temporary substation on East Broadway and remained in full force the entire week. The city provided lawnmowers, rakes, brooms, garbage bags, and gloves. Jodi Gross, East Toledo Family Center community builder and One Voice leader, says many volunteers worked three, even four days — she had one who worked every day. Some did not even live in East Toledo. “We’re very fortunate. It’s a lot of people, especially during the week because

Oregon residents may get some relief from overpopulated mosquitoes after City Administrator Mike Beazley met with officials from the Toledo Area Sanitary District Mosquito Control last week. “I did meet with the folks with the Toledo Area Sanitary District on Friday morning about mosquito control,” said Beazley at a council meeting Aug. 10. “One of the things they’re dealing with, with the volume of rain we’ve had, there’s really almost no system that keeps everyone happy. But we did advocate for a more aggressive response in Oregon.” At the July 27 council meeting, Councilman James Seaman said he was getting calls from the public complaining about the need to increase spraying in their neighborhoods because of the increase in mosquito bites during the day and night time hours. “It’s horrible,” he said. “Kids don’t play outside...They’re getting eaten alive.” He also said that many residents reported problems in contacting the District by phone. Seaman had asked Beazley to contact the District to find out about the spraying schedule. Phillip Cervantes, S. Stadium Road, asked city officials at last week’s council meeting to cut tall weeds in a ditch on S. Stadium Rd between Pickle and Brown. The stagnant water in the ditch is a breeding ground for mosquitoes. “Right now, the ditch is so clogged with weeds,” said Cervantes. “The weeds are almost the same height as the road. That’s anywhere from three to four feet high. Right beneath those weeds is solid water. It looks like a swamp. I go out to my mailbox and I get swamped with mosquitoes. That’s how bad it is. The water just stagnates by staying there,” he said. Cervantes urged council to drive out to the ditch to see the problem for themselves. “If you have a few minutes, perhaps drive down there and take a look. But take a lot of Off with you. The mosquitoes are

people work,” Gross said. One of them, Mason Street resident David Segura, heard about the clean-up in his community and worked almost every day. When he saw that weeds were becoming trees, he found his niche. He ran home, got clippers, and clipped small trees while volunteers followed behind and picked up the branches. “There was another gentlemen who lived in the neighborhood as a child. He saw the information and came out to help. He doesn’t live here any longer, but still lives in Toledo, and he came out about every day, also,” Gross said. In homes, they found tires, couches, and garbage left by other residents. Gross suspects even businesses are leaving their garbage inside these abandoned homes.

“They are basically just dumping. If it looks like an eyesore, they are dumping their stuff there,” Gross said. “I think sometimes it is probably small businesses or folks see an empty lot. That’s one of the important things — if we clean up those empty lots, then they can’t become a dumping ground. That’s the importance of focusing on the worst of the worst on a block — cleaning it up and then saying, ‘OK, this is what we are going to do — clean this block and keep it clean.’” Gross says while working, volunteers witnessed criminal activity and an arrest. “In the targeted area, the Toledo police were in the neighborhood. They were on foot and they were on bike,” Gross said. “It was a combination of ‘Let’s take back the neighborhood.’ It was not easy, though. Activity, and some of the crime we saw, runs rampant. We saw people arrested and all that good stuff. We saw a couple guys, I don’t know what the scenario was, but they were arrested while we were out there.” Once a property was cleaned, the city boarded the home. Now, Gross says it’s time for certain people to take responsibility. “I think that’s important because the properties we did get, we need people to be held accountable for that property,” Gross said. “The city and the people who enforce those code enforcement laws need to folContinued on page 2

451 Potter — once a family home, now a nuisance By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com

This is what 451 Potter Street looked like after volunteers spent hours cleaning up the property and the Department of Neighborhoods boarded the house. (Submitted photo) body could go in there,” Gross said. Gross says Lucas County Land Bank executive director Cindy Geronimo is considering making an example of the Potter Street property. “The one thing about Cindy Geronimo — I think they do realize that they have to do more enforcing and there has to be more follow-up,” Gross said. “She is going to use this Potter Street property as kind of the benchmark — OK, a group of volunteers cleaned it up, we boarded it up, now let’s use it as that scenario as this is what happens if we all work together. “I think that’s the biggest thing with T-Town — all the city departments, volunteers from that community all need to come together to make this happen. We can’t do it alone. We can’t clean up those properties by ourselves. So the city has to come in and help, and they have to offer those services. Cindy keeps telling us if there is something else you need, or if you see something, tell us so we can address it.” Of course, 451 Potter Street is not the

“

...there are several homeowners who maintain their properties, beautiful properties, and then they have crime right at the corner...

“

Once upon a time, the house at 451 Potter Street in East Toledo was a family homestead. Now, the property is a nuisance, and neighborhood leaders want to make an example out of it. A photo shows a garbage pile that fills the entire front yard. “451 Potter had been an eyesore for a very long time. We cleaned it up and the garbage pile was just from that property,” said Jodi Gross, East Toledo Family Center community builder and One Voice leader. “There was so much stuff in the yard. There were couches. There was a Christmas tree that had been there for a couple years. Just trash — things that should have been thrown in the garbage or removed in different ways. “A team of volunteers, and the City of Toledo’s Department of Neighborhoods worked to clean this eyesore up. The city boarded the property up after we cleaned it up.” The property is on the Lucas County Land Bank’s demolition list, but it has not been acquired by the land bank yet. Instead, it is owned by an investment business trust based in Utah that paid $1,200 for it — less than someone might pay for a 20-year-old automobile. “That’s the first problem. If they have a management company, they are not doing (maintaining) it on a regular basis, and they are behind in taxes by $7,000,” Gross said. “We did find that a lot of the blighted properties are supposed to be maintained by management companies, but they are not maintaining them on a regular basis. “They buy these properties sight unseen. It’s worth more than that. It’s amazing. It’s really crazy. That’s what we come up against if we don’t have these T-Town Action Weeks, or if we don’t have these ‘trailer days,’ as we call them.” Gross believes the property at 451 Potter could be renovated, but what business person in their right mind would invest the money — funds they likely would never recoup. “Honestly, if you look at it, it’s got such great features, like some of the detail on top of the roof and the peak of the house — but as you look at the property, it still wasn’t secured. It’s a mess. Maybe some-

only example. Just drive East Toledo’s streets and you’ll see them. “The sad part is for East Toledo it’s across the board. I don’t want to say it’s only East Toledo, because people can’t get out from underneath their homes for a reasonable price or to recoup what they put into their homes,” Gross said.

“Even on Mason Street, there are several homeowners who maintain their properties, beautiful properties, and then they have crime right at the corner of Mason and East Broadway, or Delence and East Broadway. You know you feel bad for them because they are right in the midst of all this going on in an area that has deteriorated over the years.” While residents want to blame absent landowners, and rightly so, Gross says it’s also transient renters who need to take responsibility. It’s typically the same people, mostly local homeowners, who show up to volunteer and only a handful of the thousands of renters in East Toledo get involved, even though they can be seen on the streets daily. “Homeowners come out because they have a vested interest. Renters are a little more reluctant, but we need them to come out, too, because you live here. It’s not always up to the landlord. If I live on a property, I would hope that I would take pride in it,” Gross said.

Forty volunteers work 900 hours cleaning properties Continued from front page low through, and if you own a property, you need to realize that you have to be responsible for that. That’s the biggest thing. “And, if you can’t be, then it becomes the people who live on that block — it’s their responsibility to clean that up, because that is what happens. People who used to live in the neighborhood, people who live in the neighborhood, came out and said, ‘Let’s clean this up. Let’s make

it better.’ I think we made that statement that we can all work together to clean up a blighted property.” Even though T-Town Action Week occurs on a regular basis, Gross believes her volunteers could take action on their own on an even more regular basis, if provided the right tools. “We could have these monthly projects, finding the worst of the worst and get some volunteers, and we could do it probably every week on our own,” Gross said.

“It’s going to need to happen. But, I think the biggest thing is we need to encourage the residents of that block — if you have that property that is the worst of the worst, clean it up. Just get rid of the garbage alone, and some of the weeds, and mow it. “And the thing we found, too, is there are many people in the neighborhood who are maintaining two or three properties because they don’t’ want them to be eyesores. There was an older gentleman, who I think was an ex-Marine — he maintained three

properties besides his own so that they look decent. We cleaned those properties for him. We cleaned up the weeds, we asked the city to do the back of the property, but those are the things that are happening on every street, basically.” For anyone wishes to recycle, Gross notes that a tire and Latex paint recycling event will be held on Aug. 22 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Oregon Municipal Building on Seaman Road. Ten tires can be recycled for free, and cost is $1 per Latex paint can.

Genoa Schools hypes honors for top students By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press news@presspublications.com Reaching the top of your high school graduating class is no easy feat. That is why members of the Genoa Academic Committee decided to spotlight that achievement by creating a Valedictorian/Salutatorian Wall in the main hallway by the high school auditorium. A dedication ceremony takes place at 5:45 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 20. Final touches are still under way on the acrylic panels designed by 1157 Design Concepts of Sidney, O., according to GAC President Jennifer Witt. The wall honors the top students from the 2015 graduating class back to 1964. GAC members are seeking out previous valedictorians and salutatorians to invite them to share in the moment. “It’s all been very exciting,” she added. The path to creating the wall has been in group member’s minds but just took shape in the last 12 to 18 months. “We are a young group and we had to concentrate on getting up and running and then establishing some programs for the kids first,” she said. Some of the payoffs for the hard work of this parent-volunteer run committee in operation about three years include: A Top 20 banquet, Career day, rewards events like setting up ice cream and sundae bars during the school day and a donation of 20 graphing calculators for the math department. “The schools are very pressed for money these days. You have to be very creative to find funds,” Witt explained. The district is also very blessed, she noted, to have strong support from the community and area businesses. Genoa Kiwanis Club members had a plaque at the school that contained gold plated bars engraved with valedictorian names. “We didn’t want to step on their toes. But we wanted to expand their effort, grow it,” Witt said. “That’s why we talked to them first before we even started the project.”

Students work to achieve this honor and, sometimes, were left with a disappointing feeling of how the honor is recognized in the school hallways compared to trophies and accolades of sport glories, she explained. Her own son, Derek, the 2014 class valedictorian, experienced some of those feelings, she said. “It’s a tribute to say “You made it to the top of your class. Good for you!” Witt said of the new wall. Derek, who’ll be a sophomore at The Ohio State University this fall majoring in atmospheric science, will be on hand for the ceremony. He drew his inspiration from his mother, who reached salutatorian status in 1989 at Lake High School. The proud mother sees the payoff for a steady educational course. “He’s my little weather geek. He’s always known what he wanted to do,” she said. The family has already begun testing weather man titles for the day he reaches his goal. “I like Doplar Derek,” she mused. His 2015 counterpart, Nathan Szymanski, son of the former GAC president Kellie Szymanski, follows in the footsteps of his brother, Ryan, who also claimed

the valedictorian title. Their mother, a teacher, has always encouraged them to reach for their goals and ask for help if need be. Nathan boosted his academic prowess by participating in the Sylvan academic boot camp at Genoa High School. The program, sponsored by the GAC, teaches kids a number of homework tips and learning skills. The wall cost nearly $11,000 to create and the names of the contributors, including the Kiwanis Club, will be prominently displayed. Witt also lauded the efforts of the school secretaries who searched through records and yearbooks to help compile the class lists for the honor wall. Classes start Aug. 19, in the Genoa School District. The wall dedication event takes place just prior to the Genoa High School and Middle School open house nights. “So we are looking forward to a pretty good turnout and then people can walk around and check out the school facilities,” Witt said. For more information about the wall or to donate to the GAC program, contact Witt at 419-277-2761.

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is proposing a project that would place a concrete barrier on the sidewalk of the SR 51 bridge over the Portage River in Elmore to supplement the deteriorating bridge railing. Placing the barrier would close the sidewalk on the bridge. The posted pedestrian detour would be the North Coast Inland Trail (NCIT) pedestrian bridge to the south. The sidewalk closure is expected to start in spring 2016 and last until the Elmore Bridge is rehabilitated, which is expected to occur in 2020.

Mosquitoes Continued from front page just horrendous,” he said. Cervantes said he stopped by the municipal building to ask if the city would clean the ditch, but said he received no response. “They did send a truck over once, and tried to clean under one of the bridges and that’s as far as it went, and it was unsuccessful,” he said. He asked if the city would clean the ditch this year. “I just need someone to clean that up,” he said. Mayor Mike Seferian said the city cut and dredged the ditch on Stadium Road, south of Navarre Avenue, a few years ago. “We not only cleaned that ditch, but we actually dredged that ditch. So it has been serviced. Even at that time, the city crews went in and jetted out each of the houses’ private lines that went to the ditch. So they did do a lot of work there. They spent two weeks on that whole project. I remember they even brought an instrument to drag through the under bridges and did do a lot of work,” he said. The city has many ditches, he added, and there have been problems with some of the cutting equipment. “But they’re out there servicing the ditches where we think they’ll do the most good. The upstream ditches like we’re seeing, where they actually start precisely on Mr. Cervantes’ property, are still flowing. That water does flow. Does it retain some water? Yes. But if it was cut and dredged all the way down, it would still hold that same amount of water. The grade and how that ditch actually flows is not perfect. But if it was cleaned all the way out, it would literally hold the same amount of water as it does right now. We will get to those, but we do have a priority list and as time prevails, we keep moving south with the equipment.” Council President Dennis Walendzak said Public Service Director Paul Roman will speak to his staff to “see what we could do to address that.” Beazley also said he will look into the matter.

Former state rep to be sentenced Friday By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A sentencing hearing is set for Aug. 21 at 1 p.m. for a former state representative convicted of theft last month in Ottawa County Common Pleas Court. Steven Kraus, 56, who represented the 89th district, was found guilty of a fifth degree felony theft charge but jurors found him not guilty of burglary and breaking and entering charges. Attorneys for Kraus last week filed motions for acquittal, a new trial, or, absent a new trial, a reduction of the charges. Kraus was indicted last year on allegations he entered a Danbury Township home around April 4 and took several items. A real estate agent and auctioneer at the time, Kraus claimed he went to the residence at the request of the listing agent for the home to inventory property for a possible auction. Geoffrey Oglesby, a Sandusky attorney

for Kraus, said visiting Judge Dale Crawford has several options for considering the motions. He said he’s challenging jury instructions and the indictment because it didn’t include a specified requirement for an elderly person. “He can grant or deny, have a hearing, or continue the sentencing,” Oglesby said. “He has quite a bit of discretion. I’m not challenging what the jurors did. I’m arguing points of law. Should a person be convicted when the victim of the offense may have been elderly but the theft was from someone else? It’s complicated. Clearly the realtor had control over that property because she allowed him to go there.” Kraus, a Republican, lost his seat due to the felony conviction. Even though news accounts of the investigation were swirling around his campaign, Kraus defeated incumbent Democrat Chris Redfern in the November 2014 election by less than 1,000 votes. The district covers Erie and Ottawa counties.

Speaker of the House Clifford Rosenberger (R – Clarksville) and members of the Ohio House Republican Caucus have said a panel will be organized to screen candidates who want to fill the vacant seat. Rep. Kirk Schuring (R- Canton) will chair the panel. “In response to the recent vacancy in the 89th House District, it is important that our caucus work with local elected officials and residents in Erie and Ottawa counties to find a qualified replacement,” Rep. Rosenberger said. District residents wanting to be considered for the appointment should send a letter of interest to Rosenberger at 77 S. High Street, 14th Floor, Columbus, O. 43215 by Aug. 28 at 5 p.m. Letters may also be sent to Rep91@ohiohouse.gov. Brittany Warner, a spokesperson for Rosenberger, said members of the House Republican caucus will vote on the appointment during the legislature’s next session scheduled to start Sept. 30.

Schools making sure adults get fair shake Rash of A change in the job market back to trades means that Oregon City Schools, Toledo Public Schools, and Penta Career Center are making sure adults can get into the game, too. These districts offer classes for adults interested in becoming medical technicians, practical nurses, and various other health care provider-associated classes, including first aid training. There is even a barber academy at TPS. It can also mean retraining for today’s high-technology trade jobs. At Penta, Superintendent Ron Matter says there are two paths for adults who want to be retrained for today’s market. “It is for someone who is coming in who wants to get specific training because they want to upgrade their skills to get a different kind of job or maybe get into a different type of organization, or someone who is retraining on something where they say, ‘I have this skill set, but in order for me to get a raise or move up, I need to get retrained in something,’� Matter said. “That is an area where we see a lot of growth. We have specific training contracts with some companies in the area where we doing the training, we are testing those individuals, and then the company is getting into the game, employing those people for 90 days. If they pass the training we give, pass the requisite skills test, they are employing them on a kind of probationary status, and then if they go in there and do a great job, then they move into a full-time employee status. We’re looking for more customized training opportunities like that.� Daphne Derden, Director of Career Technology at TPS, believes the switch to trades is good news for Toledo, a city which decades ago was a national leader in low unemployment because of its high-grade manufacturing jobs. Now, because of our centralized location to American’s population, distribution and warehousing is replacing manufacturing, and even that is becoming high-tech. In response, TPS has begun offering supply chain management classes at Woodward High School, but Derden says people still don’t understand that these jobs are all around us. “But, again, people have no idea what that means when you say logistics, or procurement. This whole community has no idea what that means. Getting that message out is a challenge,� Derden said. “We’ve got to get all hands on deck and this isn’t just an education issue that we need to get the word out. We have to get everybody involved — industry, churches, and community organizations, and I think now more than ever that is beginning to occur and those conversa-

Career Technical Education for today’s students 1:2:7 Ratio ... ¡ For every 1 job requiring a Master’s degree or higher ... - there are 2 jobs requiring a Bachelor’s degree ... - and 7 jobs requiring technical skills obtained through a certification program/2 year degree ¡ This ratio existed in 1950, 1990 and will continue to exist in 2030

“

when we do that type of thing,� Matter continued.

I drove right past it and had no idea what was right here in my community and it’s a job and a good job.

tions are beginning to take place.� TPS is not the only one looking at starting a program to train people in distribution. Penta, which serves five counties surrounding Toledo, is considering expanding those programs, but there are drawbacks to teaching this to their high school students. But, for adults, it’s already on the curriculum. We looked at one time to creating a logistics program with warehousing a part of that. That’s been a real tough sell,� Penta Superintendent Ron Matter said. “Where we get into that is on our adult side. We have forklift training opportunities, so that is something that we are going to look at it with this new student diploma grant we received. We are in the lead in Northwest Ohio with creating an adult diploma program for 22-year-olds who don’t have a diploma. They will earn their high school diploma, not a GED, by enrolling in a training program — one of those is going to be a warehousing operation piece. That is going to be a huge area. “You have the Home Depot facility in the Eastwood district, and with the I-75turnpike corridor and with North Baltimore having the CSX terminal, this is prime for that type of development, and these types of skill sets are what we want to focus in on

Warehouse partnerships Business and academic partnerships in warehousing are starting to happen, too, in the same way partnerships occur in manufacturing and construction. “In the fall of 2013, we did a manufacturing day with our member school counselors and administrators, and one of the sights we toured was the Walgreen’s (distribution) center on 795,� Matter said. “The automation that is used in there, and that’s where things are going in warehousing, is instead of a human picking that product, it’s a robot. It’s finding four boxes of aspirin. If I need this, it’s going out to a computer and to a robot. “Down in Findlay, a company there is going to be a food distribution warehouse and automation is going to be huge in there. But, one of their biggest numbers of employees they are going to hire is going to be truck drivers. That’s something that we’ve already been approached about and had numerous conversations with. This company down in Hancock County is looking to Penta to possibly create some training opportunities, and not only general type things that would meet employee needs, but also customized training. What we’re doing is getting the attention of people and offering that kind of training wherever it’s needed.� Derden says many people don’t have a clue how big warehousing is here. You might be driving by an old building you think serves no purpose, but it does. “I’ll give you a prime example right here where this board (TPS offices on Manhattan Street) is located, and I grew up here — I’m a North Toledo girl. Here is this industry in North Toledo, and I didn’t know about it, but I drove right past it and had no idea what was right here in my community and it’s a job and a good job,� Derden said.

Several burglaries and thefts from vehicles were reported recently to the Lake Township Police Department. On Aug. 9, a resident of the 1200 block of Millbury Road reported someone forced their way into his home and removed a Play Station 3, golf clubs, savings bonds, jewelry and power tools. A resident of the 29000 block of Kearsley Street on Aug. 7 reported the theft of a leaf blower from his garage. Several thefts from vehicles parked at a commercial complex at 27800 Lemoyne Rd. were reported Aug. 9: • The doors, two mirrors, two headlight assembly units and a fire extinguisher were removed from a Peterbilt tractor. • Four tires were removed from a trailer. • The doors, two mirrors, two headlight assembly units and a fire extinguisher were removed from another Peterbilt tractor. On Aug. 9, a driver reported someone entered his truck and removed two headlights and a CB radio while it was parked at a service station in the 3500 block of Moline Martin Road. A resident of the 28000 block of Case Street on Aug. 10 reported someone entered his garage and took Calloway golf clubs and a golf bag. A boat, trailer and motor were reported stolen Aug. 11 from the front yard of a resident of the 4400 block of Walbridge Road.

Zoo levy co-chairs The Citizens Committee for the Zoo has announced the co-chairs for the Toledo Zoo’s 2015 Capital Levy Campaign. The zoo is seeking a 1 mill renewal levy which will generate funds to support construction of new exhibits, renovation of current exhibits and maintenance of zoo grounds. This year’s levy co-chairs are Fran Anderson, Doni Miller and Bruce Baumhower. Anderson, a philanthropic leader in the community and advocate for senior citizens, said, “I want to remind all Lucas County seniors that the zoo has a long-standing commitment to seniors through sponsoring events to engage our segment of the community and help us remain close to our grandchildren.�

Level of microcystin continues to rise in lake

The levels of a toxin that shut down the water supply for Toledo water customers for three days last August inched up in samples and tests taken from the raw water intake crib in Lake Erie last week. On Monday, Aug. 10, samples taken from the intake crib showed .99 parts per billion of microcystin in the raw lake water, and non-detected in tap water. On Tuesday, Aug. 11, tests showed it dropped slightly to 6 ppb in raw lake water and no detection in the tap water. By Wednesday, Aug. 12, the level increased to its highest level so far this year. Samples and tests showed 4.9 ppb of microcystin in the raw lake water, and a nondetect in tap water. The “dashboard� remained at watch status In June, Toledo launched its easy-toread “dashboard� or graphic on water quality that is posted to the city’s website. It is updated to reflect the most recent water quality data analysis. The color-coded system shows the current status of the region’s drinking water quality. Water quality is “clear� when there is no detection in the intake crib in Lake Erie and in the tap water. It is elevated to “watch� when there is a detection in the intake crib, but not in the tap water. City officials are emphasizing that the tap water continues to be safe to drink. Toledo officials have been monitoring the intake crib since Toledo Mayor Paula

Hicks Hudson called a press conference on July 27 to announce that the city’s water quality status had been changed from “clear� to “watch� after 0.5 parts per billion ppb of microcystin was detected in the intake crib. The press conference was called as the area approached the one year anniversary of Toledo’s three day tap water ban for its water customers after microcystin, a toxin created by blue green algae, was detected in samples taken from the Collins Park water treatment plant in East Toledo on Aug. 2, 2015. Samples at that time taken from the plant, which draws its water from the western basin of Lake Erie, showed that microcystin was detected at 3 ppb, exceeding the 1 ppb safety threshold established by the World Health Organization. The toxin, at high levels, can cause abnormal liver function in humans and animals. People swimming, waterskiing or boating in contaminated water can also be exposed to mycrocystins. Pets and livestock have died from drinking water contaminated with microcystins, according to the EPA. Last year’s tap water ban touched off a public frenzy to find bottled water to purchase. Stores last August had reported empty shelves where bottled water had once been located just hours after the ban had been announced. Some stores this year have ordered more bottled water than usual

so that there is enough for the public should a drinking water ban be repeated this year. Signs have also been posted sporadically to limit the number of bottled water individuals can purchase. In May, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued health advisory guidelines for the level of microcystin in drinking water. For healthy adults, the level should not exceed 1.6 micrograms per liter of microcystin. For children younger than school age, it recommended the level should not exceed 0.3 micrograms per liter. The health advisory values are based on exposure for 10 days. Water protection In other news on water quality, President Barack Obama last week signed into law The Drinking Water Protection Act, which was authored and introduced into the House of Representatives by Congressman Robert Latta. The law amends the Safe Drinking Water Act to provide for the assessment and management of the risk of algal toxins in the drinking water. Latta called the law “a major step in addressing the crisis Ohioans faced last year when microcystin contaminated public drinking water, leaving nearly 500,000 residents unable to safety use their water.� “The law guarantees that the proper short and long-term focus is on scientific understanding and mitigation efforts,� Latta said in a prepared statement. Within 90 days, the Environmental Protection Agency has to put forth a strategic plan for assessing and managing risks associated with algal toxins in public drinking water. And earlier this month, the Ohio Lake Erie Commission (OLEC) awarded grants through Ohio’s Lake Erie Protection Fund, established to help finance research and projects aimed at protecting, preserving and restoring Lake Erie and its watershed. Ohio State University received a $15,000 grant to determine whether specific brands of household pitcher-style water purification systems are effective at removing microcystin from drinking water. Water with varying concentrations of the toxin will be used for the experiments, according to Paula Payne, of the Ohio EPA.

As part of a comprehensive wildlife management program, Metroparks is accepting applications for archery permits to take deer on designated park district properties. Metroparks anticipates issuing 100 to 110 permits. Volunteer bow hunters will be selected in a lottery drawing and will be required to perform a qualification shoot at Cleland’s Outdoor World, Swanton, or Bass Pro Shops, Rossford. Complete rules and regulations are available online at MetroparksToledo. com. Registration will close August 31 at 5 p.m. Those drawn in the lottery will be permitted to hunt with a companion in one of approximately 20 prescribed areas for a three-week period during the hunting season, Sept. 26-Feb. 7, 2016. This year, applicants can indicate their preferred three-week period on the permit application. All the management areas are within the Oak Openings Corridor, which stretches from Secor to Oak Openings Preserve Metroparks. “The park system has a responsibility to find a balanced, sustainable approach to resource management,� said Steve Madewell, Metroparks executive director.

Gordon Lumber selling off local sites By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press news@presspublications.com Gordon Lumber, once a mainstay in the Oak Harbor business community, is selling off the last of its land south of the Portage River Bridge as well as its corporate office building in Fremont. “We just outgrew it and we already had a facility in Findlay,” said operations manager Rob Hofelich of the reasoning behind closing the buildings based in Oak Harbor. The building materials company notified village officials in early spring that it would be transferring the truss and panel division to the Findlay facility located near U.S. 224, according to Village Administrator Randy Genzman. “They are completely out of here,” he said Tuesday. The move south allowed Gordon Lumber to quadruple its roof and floor truss operation, Hofelich explained. Ten employees once staffed the operation. There are 40 now in Findlay. The move to a larger city also allowed the company to draw from a larger pool of prospective staff in and around the area. It also placed the operation directly adjacent of the Interstate-75 corridor, a vital transportation route for the company. The employees once based in Oak Harbor were offered positions at other Gordon Lumber sites. The company roots date back to its first facility in Oak Harbor on the shores of the Portage River in the 1860s.

NEW LOCATION 4604 Woodville Rd., Northwood, OH. 43619

The country was putting itself back together after the Civil War when a man named Washington Gordon came to the young village of Oak Harbor to start a business, according to the company website. What began as a single saw mill on the banks of the Portage River has grown into a trusted home improvement resource throughout Northwest Ohio, the site states. Gordon Lumber home improvement stores today are located in Fremont, Port Clinton, Bellevue, Bowling Green, Genoa, Huron and Findlay. Gordon Lumber once housed a lumber facility, concrete shop and retail store in Oak Harbor. “That lasted up until the late 1980s, early 1990s,” Genzman said. The store and the main out buildings on the banks of the Portage River just southwest of the Water and Locust Street intersection were sold years ago. The site is now owned by Mike Shadoan, owner of Radiant Windows. Gordon operated the truss plant on its property south of the Veterans Memorial Bridge. Signature Realty of Toledo is handling the sale of the property. Four buildings stand on the 7½ acres, Hofelich said. The sale price is $380,000. And as prospective buyers eye that property, Gordon Lumber officials are putting their land where the corporate offices are located in Fremont up for sale, too. They are looking for a new site. “We’re just outgrowing that space, too,” Hofelich said.

A malicious prosecution complaint filed by a North Genoa-Clay Center Road man against his neighbors is scheduled for trial Jan. 5, 2016 in Ottawa County Common Pleas Court. Anthony Simon filed the complaint against his neighbors, Wayne and Dorothy Fondessy. The Clay Township residents have been in a legal dispute for about five years and Simon had also filed complaints against Terry Mitchell, the township police chief, and James Blausey, who was a patrol officer for the township at the time. After a hearing last month, the court granted a summary judgment in favor of Mitchell’s and Blausey’s motion to have Simon’s claims dismissed. A motion by the Fondessys for summary judgment was also granted to dismiss Simon’s claim of false arrest and intentional infliction of emotional distress, according to the court docket, but their motion on the malicious prosecution complaint was denied. Wesley Miller, attorney for Simon, last week said his client may file an appeal in the case involving Mitchell and Blausey. “Based on the way the judge had written the order on the granting of summary judgment for the officers, we can’t appeal it until the part of the case involving the Fondessys is done,” he said. According to Simon’s lawsuit and court records, Chief Mitchell initiated a criminal complaint around Sept. 19, 2011 against Simon, charging him in Ottawa County Municipal Court with trespassing and disorderly conduct. The charges stemmed from a property dispute Simon had with the Fondessy’s, who live next door, but they were dismissed in 2012. Statements made by the Fondessys to Blausey and Chief Mitchell resulted in the charges being filed against Simon but were “...untrue or misleading and had no reasonable basis or underlying cause for a criminal complaint,” Simon’s lawsuit contends. An email message left with Chief Mitchell for comment was not returned.

Oregon Foundation considers new senior center By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon City Council last week approved a contribution to the Oregon on the Bay Regional Economic Development Foundation to meet its budget needs and achieve the objectives of the city and Foundation. The city makes annual contributions to the Foundation in exchange for the Foundation providing economic development services, marketing and promotion of the city, and fostering a healthy environment for business and development within the city. This year, council agreed to contribute $70,000 to the economic development group. Previously, the city’s contribution would match the amount of contributions the Foundation received within the organization, said Mayor Mike Seferian. “In the last several years, we have made the $70,000 contribution at this time

juncture each year,” he said. Lindsay Myers, executive director of the Foundation, said she has been talking with City Administrator Mike Beazley in the past few months about the organization moving its offices into a building the city recently purchased for the new senior center at 4350 Navarre Avenue. “There’s some extra square footage there that would suit our needs,” said Myers. The Foundation is currently leasing space at the Wynn Center on Bay Shore Road. “It’s been a great place for us, but it is rather far and out of the way. It’s not exactly easily accessible,” said Myers. “And with there still being a pre-school in the basement, there are some restrictions on entering the building, who can enter the building, checking in,” she said. “And then currently, we’ve had some Internet issues going on day 15. So yes, we are definitely interested in leasing some space from you guys at the senior center.” “I think that would be a terrific move,”

said Councilman Jerry Peach. The city purchased the building last November for $850,000 for the new senior center. It has 13,500 square feet, with some of the space leased to First Insurance Group. Approximately 6,500 feet is devoted for senior activities. The senior center, which moved from an older building on Bay Shore Road, had a grand opening in June. Seferian said the city didn’t know what type of space would be available at the time the city purchased the building. “But due to the new arrangement with the organization that is leasing space there, it does free up more space there and makes this a more viable possibility,” said Seferian. “So we can come up with some type of arrangement. I’m not sure `lease’ is the term to use because we wouldn’t want to be contributing money and getting our money back for a lease. But we can come up with some type of an arrangement that would work out in our best interests.” “I know the location would be a major upgrade for us,” said Myers.

More than a school To the editor: Oregon Schools is so much more than just a place to get an education. It is a place for students to figure out who they are and what they are good at by getting involved in extracurricular activities. These opportunities give them a chance to make friends and memories and learn real world skills. As student body president of Clay High School this past year, I can say that my experiences dealing with some of the day-to-day operations of the high school prepared me for the real world. Student government allowed me to interact with my peers to reach a common goal. It gave me an opportunity to compile ideas with the faculty and administration, which taught me how to communicate with superiors. Student government also taught me how to be a leader – someone for others to look up to, and a person that others knew was looking out for them. As a member of the Career & Tech Visual Communications and Marketing programs, I was faced with real-world business situations. In class we prepared for competitions which placed us in realworld scenarios. We learned how to handle ourselves in the business world. Commitment is a very important character trait that everyone needs to develop. I was also involved in athletics at Clay. As captain of our varsity football team, I learned what it means to be committed. Football also taught me how to deal with adversity. This is very important. Life is not fair and everything will not always go your way. Without knowing how to deal with adversity in the world we live in today, you will already be 10 steps behind the other person. The skills I developed at Oregon Schools helped sculpt me into the person

Separation implied To the editor: I must challenge the letter in the Aug. 10 issue about the separation of church and state. In the bill of rights, the Constitution calls for a separation of church and state by implication. James Madison and Thomas Jefferson fought the establishment of a state church in their home state of Virginia because they believed in separation. Madison is mainly responsible for writing our constitution. As I wrote before, the founding fathers were learned men. They knew in the past that kings were considered God’s representative and they wanted no part of that. They knew in early religious colonies, dissenters were killed or imprisoned. Albert Kapustar Oregon

When holding a grudge you only harm yourself Holding a grudge is easy. Grudges start when you have been slighted, treated unfairly, taken advantage of, insulted, or mistreated in any way. This results in you becoming angry, upset and bitter. A grudge makes you determined to never forget the offense or the offender. An erroneous belief is that grudges somehow punish the people they are directed at. In fact just the opposite is true. Grudges harm the people holding them, not those targeted. Whenever you harbor a grudge, you are hurting yourself. Anger, bitterness, and resentment are toxic poisons which harm you. A grudge is an anchor which pulls you down, limiting or preventing positive progress. Holding a grudge generates negative energy. You then spend too much time focused on what was done to you and who did it. Too much time is defined as any time at all. You can’t control the actions of other people. You can control your response. When you find yourself holding a grudge, you need to let go of the anchor. As you know, the world is filled with all types of people. They range from wonderful individuals, to those who are evil and vicious. You will encounter and have to interact with a broad cross section of people. Whenever possible, you endeavor to interact with nice people. However, you will encounter those who are not nice.

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden Some people will mistreat you. Some people will try to take advantage of you. How you respond is up to you. Responding with bitterness is deleterious to your wellbeing. This does not mean that negative emotions are unjustified. It does mean that you must carefully consider the impact your emotions have on your ability to move forward. A good analogy is becoming caught up in a shouting match. In response to the other person raising their voice, you raise yours. After several iterations, both of you are screaming at each other. Your becoming angry is the only result. Corrective action should be taken rather than holding a grudge. Corrective action is any appropriate behavior that makes things better for you. This is often as simple as removing yourself from a toxic situation. Whenever possible, don’t spend time with people who treat you poorly. You don’t need to socialize with someone who creates conflict. This can include acquaintances, relatives or strangers. Excuse your-

self from negative interactions without being rude. Eliminating or minimizing contact with those who cause strife is amazingly effective. Once you have cut free from a bad situation, let it go mentally, it’s over. If you continually obsess on the past, you have not accomplished anything. The only way to move forward is to let go of any grudges. Insults you receive are easily turned into grudges. It doesn’t matter what other people say. Just ignore any negative garbage which may spew from someone’s mouth. However, if false assertions are made about you, by all means speak up in your defense. Most of the slights which lead to grudges don’t matter in the long term, or even short term. They are not worth your energy or attention. People are who they are. You won’t change them. Attempting to teach someone a lesson results in your frustration. Letting go of grudges is not synonymous with being walked all over. Always stand up for yourself when warranted. Do this without being dragged into a cesspool of negative behavior. Imagine grudges sliding off of you. A grudge free life is a happier life. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book.

Do you want to be a boss, or a leader? Here’s the difference

“

I think most people confuse leadership with being the star.

“

So, you want to be a leader. Not a boss. Not a manager. But, someone who can take a vision, motivate a team to pursue it and have the spirit and will to make it come true. Could be as simple as a family reunion. Or, as difficult as launching a new product in a crowded marketplace. Let’s look at the family reunion. The matriarch is gone and the task has fallen to you for the first time. How do you lead? Start with creating the vision of what a good family reunion will be like. Communicate with others to help create the vision. Do the work and refrain from telling others what to do. Communicate. Communicate. Communicate. And, do so in a way that doesn’t sound like a command. “Everybody wants to have a purpose and a good leader lets everybody know how they can contribute,” says Kelly Croy, local author of a new book entitled Along Came A Leader: A Guide to Personal and Professional Leadership. Croy has been in leadership positions as an English teacher in the Benton-CarrollSalem district for 24 years, as a football coach, a business owner and a father of four. What he says about leadership a good leader knows, but it may not be what a “boss” or an aspiring leader wants to hear. Why should you listen? His bona fides include giving motivational talks including one in 2012 at Michigan State University to 8,000 Boy Scouts at the National Eagle Scout Association’s 100th anniversary celebration of the Eagle Scout Award. It was in Scouting that Croy got his first taste of leadership when his Scoutmaster asked him to lead his fellow Scouts in a

project. “I was kind of blown away that he thought I had the knowledge and leadership ability to lead the group,” he said. Croy took what he learned from Scouting and coaching into the classroom. “Instead of focusing on disciplinary issues, I focused on leadership issues. Leadership is the solution to almost all our ills.” Parents liked the messages he was sending home with his students. He was soon asked to speak to a mothers’ group. From there he has built a second career as a motivational speaker and accomplished artist. He combines art, music, and computer animation with his inspirational speeches. Croy has studied leadership most his life. His book is rife with quotes from the many leaders he has admired, and many of the concepts he writes about are those you will find in other books about leadership. However, if you are unsatisfied with the status quo and aspire to become a leader, this book can be your developmental handbook for both leadership and its requisite course—personal development. So, you’re thinking personal develop-

by John Szozda ment doesn’t have anything to do with being a boss? You simply have to give orders and delegate? Correct? Think again. Boss and manager are just titles. And, while you can accomplish some things with a title, if you really want to make a difference and unlock the potential of those you have power over, you need to develop yourself into a leader. “I think most people confuse leadership with being the star,” Croy writes. “They don’t want to be the leader. They want their picture in the paper, the trophy on the mantle or their name on the record board.” True leadership, on the other hand, emanates from a desire to serve others. “If I was the leader of a business or an organization, I would want to get to know

my employees well and encourage their dreams. If they know, you’re supporting them, they’re going to want to support the vision of the organization,” Croy says. That desire to serve is just one trait a leader has. Croy says there are six skills a good leader must possess. They are: a good attitude, wisdom, tenacity, the ability to communicate often and accurately, vision and authenticity. The most important trait? Authenticity. “That’s where a lot of leaders fail. They may be good communicators, but to be a good leader you have to walk the talk. If you want to help an individual become the best, you have to be at your best.” That takes a lot of hard work. Creating the vision for an organization takes research and positioning your product or service against your competitors’. Then, you need to communicate the vision often and accurately, have the tenacity to see it through even in tough times, the wisdom to make the right decisions, and, finally, you need to lead from the front. That means doing the dirty work in order to set the example that all work that contributes to the vision is important. A good leader continually improves her skills through reading a wide variety of trade and personal development books and articles. She eats right, sleeps right, works out, dresses appropriately, is punctual, neat, organized and walks with confidence. She needs to become, at the very least, the person, she wants those she leads to become. Still interested? Go to www.kellycroy.com To order the book, go to amazon.com or call 1-800-831-4825.

Happy picking!

American Pickers looking for “rusty gold” in Ohio “American Pickers” Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz and the Antique Archeology team will be coming to Ohio in early October in search of America’s most valuable antiques, from motorcycles, classic cars and bicycles to one-of-a-kind vintage memorabilia. The modern-day archaeology team will film episodes of the hit History Channel series, “American Pickers” – a documentary series that explores the fascinating world of antique “picking” on history. Wolfe and Fritz, two of the most skilled pickers in the business, are embarking on a road trip across the U.S. on a mission to recycle America, restore forgotten relics to their former glory, and learn a thing or two about American history along the way. The show is looking for interesting characters with interesting and unique items. Among the list of what they’re looking for is vintage bicycles, toys, unusual radios, movie memorabilia, advertising, military items, folk art, vintage musical equipment, vintage automotive items, early firefighting equipment, vintage clothing, pre-50’s western gear and more. Currently, the show is not looking for farming/agriculture items, tools, glassware, appliances, tractors, crocks, stoves or country primitives. If you have a large collection or want to refer someone to Mike and Frank, email: your name, number, address and description of the collection and photos to: americanpickers@cineflix.com 855-old-rust. If you and your “rusty gold” qualify, you could be visited by Mike and Frank and appear on “American Pickers.” “American Pickers,” produced by Cineflix Productions, airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on History channel.

Young girls share different ideas

Financial views on family money matters: no one size fits all As many children as there are in your family, whether they’re your siblings or your own kids, there will be just as many approaches to money. Denying this truth can lead to tremendous frustration if not downright contempt for those whom you care about most. Learning to better understand the financial views of those in your family may allow a heightened sense of cohesion and better outcomes for all involved. On a recent weekend, I was left in charge of my five daughters while my wife served in the Air National Guard. While traveling across town in our minivan, I decided to take a detour through a very depressed neighborhood. I wanted my young daughters to understand how differently some people live and to engage them in conversation about the topic of finances. As the girls looked around at our surroundings, they began to share some interesting thoughts. Two of them agreed that they had no idea that where we live is not as normal as they thought. While many of their friends from school live in the “rich” neighborhoods, they

Beyond the Money by Adam Cufr didn’t realize that our house must look like that to other people, some of whom live in this part of town. As a result, they said when they grow up, they want a nice, small house in a safe area so they’ll have money left over to help other people in need. While these two girls were agreeing on the small, safe house generosity plan, another chimed in and said: “I’m going to make a lot of money so I won’t have to worry about anything.” While that statement may be a bit naïve, I share it to illustrate that these five girls all come from the same parents, live

in the same house, yet have very different views on what money is and what money means to them. I’ll guess that your family is no different. Because we all view money, and its meaning, differently, we should consider how this impacts our relationships. Where one person sees money as an opportunity for helping others, another may see money as a means by which she can protect herself from suffering. What a profound difference. When people close to you do something or say something about money that makes you want to lose your mind, consider what their money meaning is as compared to yours. Is it possible they are approaching the situation from a different worldview than you? Is it possible that a little compassion from you will allow you to discuss the situation to see where one another stands? Ultimately, a family’s financial dynam-

ic can have lasting effect on relationships, both good and bad. Differing financial worldviews can ruin a funeral. On the other hand, seeking financial harmony can lead to amazing financial benefits, whether in the form of an accelerated debt payoff plan, or gifts to grandchildren and charities. The difference in outcome lies in the willingness to understand one another’s relationship with money well enough to find shared understanding. Money can be an amazing gift or a lingering curse depending on the family’s financial dynamic. In reality, the choice is yours.

Elmore church to honor Andy Chavez with soccer field

“

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com

From what I know of the project and talking to Tom, he's done more of his homework and figured out what they can afford....

“

Elmore Church of God is planning a soccer field in hopes of honoring the memory of fallen police officer Jose “Andy� Chavez. “Along with our planning for this soccer field, we established a relationship with a local family whose late husband and father was an assistant coach for the Woodmore varsity boys’ soccer program,� stated a press release from church pastor Tom Willhardt. “Officer Andy Chavez graduated from Woodmore and stayed involved with the soccer program in an unofficial role until the head coach, Carlo Pacino, invited Andy to come aboard as an assistant coach for the boys’ team a few years ago,� Willhardt’s release continues. “With his family’s blessing, we began planning for this soccer field to be a memorial to Andy and all he stood for. We want to honor his memory and honor his contributions to Woodmore soccer.� An Elmore policeman, Chavez was off duty and belatedly celebrating his birthday at a tavern March 9, 2014 in Fremont when he and two others were shot and killed during an altercation. Chavez lived in Woodville with his wife and two children. He was an auxiliary member of the Woodville Police Department and worked full-time with a private security firm in Toledo before joining the Elmore department as a full-time officer in January 2012. Willhardt is also hoping that the field can be used by the Woodmore soccer teams. “We believe the field is sorely needed not only for recreational use but also for games played by the local Woodmore High School varsity Wildcat boys and girls soccer program,� Willhardt’s statement reads. “These teams currently share use of the varsity football field, the condition of which deteriorates drastically by the end of their respective seasons that span concurrently during the same fall months of September, October and November,� the statement continues. Willhardt says he has talked to school officials about the idea and has support from both the boys and girls soccer coaching staffs. He hopes playing off campus will not affect the district’s decision — many

Elmore police officer Jose "Andy" Chavez. high schools play sports off campus, including parks. “Right now, it’s not a big deal,� Willhardt said. “We can certainly lease it to them for a very minimal cost. I was involved with the girls’ soccer program for a few years at the high school, and I just know they are very limited as to where they can play the game. Our church is willing to least proceed forward with this, and I was pretty excited that they were willing to do that.� Woodmore athletic director Steve Barr believes an off-campus field under the supervision of a local community organization would be beneficial. It would take the burden off taxpayers, and partnerships like this are common today. “Certainly it would be a great help. If it does come to fruition, it would be a very good thing for our programs at the school, and its win-win because it’s also a community project, too,� Barr said. “Tom, through the process of and on, has been very thorough. From what I know of the project and talking to Tom, he’s done

more and more of his homework and figured out what they can afford and what they can’t afford. We’re absolutely on board with him.� Barr noted the cooperation between Lourdes University, a Catholic-based school, and Sylvania Schools for recently completed renovations at Cat Stadium, which Lourdes will use as it starts up its football program. “Lourdes has a turf football field, and that’s basically done and the kids are starting now. For Lourdes and Sylvania schools it’s a partnership thing, and that’s what this will be, too.� Real work begins Elmore Church of God currently owns 12 acres along State Route 51 between Elmore Medical Center and the former Special Cast Molds facility, which is where the field would be located. “We have committed a sizeable portion of this property to be used for this memorial soccer field,� says Willhardt’s release. “Over the last year, we have worked closely with Elmore’s village council, planning

commission and zoning board in successfully securing the necessary approvals and zoning designation to move forward. “Now the real work begins. As with any project of this magnitude, fundraising is the key to its success.� The church estimates the cost for building a soccer field of a certain caliber — “a soccer field our players and fans alike deserve� — would fall between $90,000 and $100,000. The church is hosting a meeting open to the public on Aug. 19 at 7 p.m. to discuss the kick-start for the soccer field. This is not the first time Chavez has been honored since his passing. Last summer, Penta Career Center student Clark Jividen (Woodmore), constructed a a bench and table that would provide a lasting memorial to Chavez. He set out to create a design that would tell the story of Chavez’s life. The memorial is now located in Ory Park in downtown Elmore. Jividen’s design includes a tree featured on the back of the wooden bench. The tree includes a heart with “Andy + Amber� and two apples representing the “apples of Chavez’s eyes,� his children Marieh, and Emmitt. “Stuck Like Glue,� Amber and Andy’s wedding song, is featured at the base of the tree. The bench seat is a tribute to Chavez’s law enforcement career, and features a badge in the center, and the American flag and the flag of the State of Ohio, along with the tribute, “In loving memory of Andy Chavez.� The table also pays homage to Chavez’s love for soccer.

Chicory:

aka, ‘watcher of the road’ By J.K. DePeal Garden Writer

Magic show

Magician Greg Carson performs one of his tricks with some help from volunteer Lori Heninger at the Genoa Library. Carson’s theme was “Every Hero Has A Story.” (Press photos by Ken Grosjean)

Almost as suddenly as it comes, summer begins to wind down with the “dog days” of August. These late summer days are filled with the song of the cicadas – buzzing and droning on so that they almost drown out the bird songs. Vegetables are ripening and green beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, and sweet corn are ready to harvest and enjoy. Along the field edges and roadsides now the wild chicory is in bloom. Northwest Ohio, with its natural limestone deposits, is an ideal area for chicory to grow. The bright, blue, daisy-like flowers of the chicory are the color of a clear August sky and, because it is so commonly seen along roadsides, its German name “Wegewarte” meaning “watcher of the road” is very appropriate. Chicory, though it grows wild, is not an American native plant but came to this country centuries ago from the Mediterranean area. The plant was originally used as a food crop for animals. Different varieties of the plant were also grown and used in salads and the root of “chicory sativum” was roasted, ground, and prepared as a beverage that is very similar to coffee. Chicory root contains a carbohydrate called inulin, which is now used commercially as a sweetener and to add fiber to foods. Inulin acts in the body by slowing down the metabolism of sugars, which makes it a beneficial addition for those with blood sugar conditions. For centuries, chicory was used medicinally as a general tonic, cleansing remedy, and skin ointment. That starry, blue blossom growing wild along our byways has quite a valuable and useful reputation. Tomatoes and onions are ripening now and can be prepared for dining in so many different ways. Eaten right off the vine, tomatoes are delicious but they can also be fried for a side dish or a tasty treat. Fried tomatoes – Wash and cut in half medium-sized tomatoes. Do not peel.

Get Growing Season half a cup of flour with a 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/8 tsp. pepper. Coat the tomato halves in the flour mix. Fry the halves, turning carefully once, in 3 tbsp. of bacon fat or cooking oil. Place the cooked halves on a paper towel to drain and serve warm. Serve with a ranch dip or sour cream. Onions can also be prepared as a cooked dish. Stuffed onions – Take large onions, one per person. With an apple corer, remove a section in the center large enough to hold the stuffing. Parboil the onions for 20 minutes until they are partially tender. Fill the centers with a bacon dressing, made by browning two slices of bacon until crisp. Crumble the bacon fine and add it to bread crumbs browned in the bacon fat. Place the filled onions in a shallow baking pan and brush with butter or milk. Pour around the onions 1 cup of meat stock or diluted mushroom soup. Baste the onions with this stock as they bake. Bake at 325 degrees until they are brown and tender. August garden tips: • Continue to deadhead annuals and perennials to keep them blooming. Make sure that newly planted shrubs, trees and perennials receive a deep watering two to three times a week to help them establish healthy root systems before winter. Begin to cut back on fertilizing plants and trees to give them time to harden off before the colder weather ahead. • August is a great time to sow for one more harvest of vegetables before winter comes. Green and yellow beans, radishes, Asian greens and some lettuces can be started now.

Woodville Road at Drouillard, Looking West, Early 1900s.

by Larry Michaels A good day to take the train. This early photo of a muddy Woodville Road looks west across the intersection of Drouillard Road toward an approaching Lake Shore Electric car at Groll Street. The C.S. Drouillard family, for whom the road was named, lived in the large Queen Anne home at the left on the southeast corner of Woodville and Drouillard. Beyond the house stands the old Drouillard grocery store with the windmill in front on the southwest corner. Lake Shore Electric went out of business in the 1930s, and the Drouillard house and store were torn down when Woodville Road was widened in 1952. (Photo courtesy of Kirk Hise.)

Toledo will be test market for seafood consumption Toledo has been know as a test market for food products from such national firms as Taco Bell and Pizza Hut. Now Toledo can add seafood to its test market resume. Hart, an Ohio-based marketing and advertising agency, has been selected by Seafood Nutrition Partnership (SNP) to help raise awareness about the essential health and nutritional benefits of seafood, according to a company spokesperson. Seafood helps reduce the risk of heart disease and is the best source of Omega-3 fatty acids, which are healthy fats essential to human health and development. Seafood also improves baby brain and eye development, when the mother eats seafood during pregnancy. As part of the awareness campaign, Hart will be working with SNP to host several educational events around the city in October, which is National Seafood Month. The USDA recommends at least two servings of seafood each week, but 90 percent of Americans are not coming close to

Educator participates in research excursion Metroparks environmental educator Mike Mathis recently participated in a weeklong research effort on Lake Michigan aboard the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency vessel Lake Guardian. Mathis was one of 15 educators chosen from more than 60 applicants to collect data alongside EPA scientists July 1218 as part of the Lake Michigan Shipboard Science Workshop. “The experience was once in a lifetime,” said Mathis. “I learned so much about scientific research and the Great Lakes. With this knowledge I hope to develop new Great Lakes programming for Metroparks.” Thanks to facilitators from IllinoisIndiana Sea Grant (IISG), the workshop afforded teachers an opportunity to work alongside four scientists from the U.S. EPA Great Lakes National Program Office, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Loyola University Chicago. Teachers evaluated the presence of microplastics and assessed the impact of aquatic invasive species, particularly zebra and quagga mussels, on Lake Michigan’s ecosystem, with the goal of taking their experiences back to the classroom and inspiring students to want to do scientific exploration of the Great Lakes.

Military Notes Environmental educator Mike Mathis Lessons focusing on food-web dynamics, endangered and invasive species, climate change, plastics pollution, water contaminants and stewardship opportunities for students throughout the basin helped educators connect the research they were doing to their classroom curriculum. The Lake Michigan Shipboard Science Workshop was supported by the EPA through funding from the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative and Center for Great

Lakes Literacy (CGLL) cgll.org. The Center for Great Lakes Literacy is a collaborative effort led by Sea Grant educators throughout the Great Lakes region. CGLL fosters informed and responsible decision-making that advances basin-wide stewardship by providing hands-on experiences, educational resources and networking opportunities. Teachers blogged about the cruise as well. Web logs are posted at http://www.

nspirational essage of the eek: Helping Others to Help Themselves The nineteenth century British philosopher John Stuart Mill argued persuasively for a variety of social reforms, and especially for state-supported public education, on the grounds that it “is help towards doing without help.”That is, education makes people more likely to be able to take care of themselves and live healthy, independent lives. It may be easier to just give people food or money to meet their immediate needs, but in the long run this may only foster a state of dependency, whereas if we take the time to teach the person how to fend for himself, he might fare better in the long run. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day but teach

Oregon

him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. There are lots of ways in which we can help others to help themselves, whether it is teaching them a skill or trade, or teaching them how to drive or to read. Reading opens doors to a whole world of help, because once you teach someone how to read, it gives them access to the entire fund of human knowledge. We should consider how we might help the people in our community, or even in our own families, to be more independent. For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat. —2 Thessalonians 3:10
