Oregon Foundation

Business retention program launched The Oregon Economic Development Foundation is helping launch a business retention and expansion program.

Over the next several weeks, nearly 1,000 businesses in Oregon will have an opportunity to help better understand the issues facing companies in today’s economy.

The first phase of the project will involve surveying nearly 1,000 businesses on and around the Navarre Avenue business corridor, according to Sommer Vriezelaar, executive director of the Foundation.

The area has the largest concentration of Oregon businesses.

“Our goal is to increase and open up the lines of communication between businesses, city government staff and local development officials,” said Vriezelaar.

“Existing businesses create up to 86 percent of all new jobs in a community, so it’s important to examine the needs of those companies already committed to Oregon.”

The Foundation, and the Eastern Maumee Bay Chamber of Commerce, assisted by Ohio State University Extension in Lucas County and the Ohio Sea Grant

College Program, is sponsoring the program to evaluate the local business climate and to assist existing businesses with expansion within the community.

“I work with the county on economic development,” said Vriezelaar. “They work closely with us. They usually attract bigger industry and businesses. But if any business in Oregon needs to strengthen its workforce, or needs help finding someone with the right skills, the county can get

that business in touch with the right people to get help. They can also assist with grant funding. The county also provides job training.”

Target focus A team of community leaders has been working since December 2018 to develop the survey. The group, with representatives from diverse segments of the economy, including business, government, education and health care, has identified the Navarre Avenue corridor as the target focus area.

Navarre Avenue and its ancillary streets, including Coy, Dustin, Lallendorf, Stadium, Wynn and Wheeling, house most of the medium to small business establishments that will be targeted for this particular survey.

After the survey data has been tabulated, the task force will examine the results and look for ways to assist businesses in Oregon with operations and potential expansion plans, according to Vriezelaar.

Businesses are encouraged to complete and return the survey by May 24.

“In the short term, we’ll be identifying immediate concerns and looking at community services that need improvement,” Vriezelaar said. “Ultimately, we want to Continued on page 2

State Representative Steve Arndt, R – Port Clinton, has provided testimony to a bill that would provide local authority over “junk” watercraft similar to that covering junk vehicles.

Arndt told the House State and Local Government Committee that he’s sponsoring House Bill 74 at the urging of rural residents in his district.

Under the bill, a junk watercraft vessel or outboard motor is defined as one that is at least three years old, is apparently inoperable and has a market value of $1,500 or less.

“The idea for this legislation arose as I travelled throughout my district this past summer. Within one week I was approached by four different property owners asking me to address this problem as they had reached out to their township trustees and informed them that nothing could be done to address the issue,” he told the committee.

“Today’s fiberglass boats, although structurally compromised, do not decompose like older boats constructed of wood. Fiberglass watercraft are left to decay in many communities throughout our state. Over time these become an eyesore and degrade property values.”

According to an analysis of the bill by the Legislative Service Commission, it would prohibit a property owner from not complying with a notice from a local authority to “cover, house or remove a junk watercraft vessel or outboard motor within 10 days of receiving the notice.”

A violation would be a misdemeanor.

The bill also specifies that each subsequent 30-day period of violation constitute a separate offense.

County sheriffs, chiefs of police or legislative authorities of a municipality, highway patrol troopers and township boards of trustees or their designee are authorized by the bill to send notices to property owners by certified mail.

The analysis states it’s likely that municipalities with home-rule authority already may order junk vessels and outboard motors into storage through their own ordinances.

address such complex issues as the skills of the local workforce and the competitiveness of local businesses.”

Vriezelaar said the last survey of Oregon businesses was conducted in 2016.

It fell by the wayside when the Foundation’s former Executive Director Lindsay Myers resigned to take another job. The position had remained open for a period of time, and there was little followup to the original survey.

“Nobody was in this position for a while. There was a transition period. When they did the survey, they got some feedback, but then Lindsay ended up leaving. I don’t think anything was followed through.

When I got the position nine months ago, I was approached by Joe Lucente, from the Ohio Sea Grant Program, who told me about the business survey, and how it would be a great opportunity to launch it again. I was all on board because it gives me the opportunity to meet all these businesses. And if they do need anything, they have a face they can go to, a phone number to call. I can help them figure out what their needs are - do they want to expand, is there another place I can put them if there is a need? The survey is a high priority with my group. I have a ton of people on my committee when the survey results come back.

“As Chair of the GOP Conference, Congresswoman Cheney is on the front lines delivering the message of lower taxes, strong borders, and protecting our Constitutional rights,” said Congressman Bob Latta. “With Nancy Pelosi leading the most liberal House of Representatives in our history, standing up for what we believe in has never been more important. At a time when Democrats are pushing to implement policies like the Green New Deal, Medicare for All, and a rollback of our 2nd Amendment rights, we welcome Liz to Ohio’s 5th Congressional District to speak on how Republicans can win the debate in Ohio and across the country.”

Ohio Waterline Initiative Governor Mike DeWine last week outlined his H2Ohio water quality initiative, which he is introducing as part of his proposed budget for the 2020-2021 biennium.

“Water is vital to everyone, yet communities throughout the state face real and different challenges, such as algae blooms, failing septic tanks, nutrient pollution, and threats of lead contamination,” Gov. DeWine said. “We cannot continue to lurch from water crisis to water crisis. I am proposing an H2Ohio initiative that would allow us to invest in targeted, long-term solutions to ensure safe and clean water across the state of Ohio.”

The governor said his proposal would create a special fund that would be used to protect Ohio’s water quality over 10 years and could amount to approximately $900 million.

“Rather than borrowing to pay to fix our water problems, we want to create a special account, where we can deposit funds to be used specifically for water quality across Ohio,” he said. “We believe that this is a responsible approach to address a critically important issue.”

H2Ohio funding would be used for wa-

ter programs across the state, including for Lake Erie and other rivers, lakes, and waterways in Ohio, for efforts such as: • Prevention and land-based management programs, such as funding efforts to minimize the introduction of nutrients and other runoff into Ohio waterways, additional staffing at soil and water conservation districts, and more aggressive action to address failing septic systems and other water treatment needs across Ohio.

• Water-based restoration programs, such as the creation of more wetlands in targeted areas to naturally filter out nutrients and sediment and utilizing emerging technologies to minimize water quality problems and treat polluted water.

• Science, research, and measurement, such as supporting ongoing research and data collection to advise on metrics and measurable goals, and to stay updated on and utilize new prevention and treatment technologies.

Gov. DeWine’s remarks were part of his keynote address at the Impact Ohio Toledo Regional Conference at the Renaissance Toledo Downtown Hotel.

Prison sentence upheld by court

By Press Staff Writer The Ohio Sixth District Court of Appeals has upheld a prison sentence for a man who had been on judicial release after being convicted of making phone threats to schools in Lucas and Ottawa counties.

The appeals court ruled that the Ottawa County Common Pleas Court didn’t err in revoking community control probation sanctions for Charles Tingler and instead impose the prison sentence.

Tingler had argued the lower court failed to appoint the appropriate legal counsel to represent him at a hearing to determine if community control should be revoked. He also contended that the court abused its discretion in revoking community control because the bulk of the evidence at the hearing didn’t indicate he violated conditions of the control program.

According to court records, Tingler was convicted in March 2015 of two counts of inducing panic, one count of disrupting public services and one count of aggravated menacing. Waite High School and Oak Harbor High School and Middle School were among the schools receiving threatening calls.

Tingler was sentenced to four years in prison and was represented by appointed attorneys throughout the trial and sentencing process as well as his appeal.

The appeals court affirmed his conviction but remanded the case to the common pleas court to consider jail-time credit for Tingler’s time incarcerated before the trial.

In a retro-active judgment, the lower court imposed three years of community control with 28 conditions.

By April 2017 Tingler was charged with violating three and the appeals court ruled that the trial court had evidence of at least one violation.

“We find the record contains substantial evidence of at least one violation of appellant’s community control sanction. We find the trial court’s attitude was not unreasonable, arbitrary or unconscionable when it revoked appellant’s community control sanction. We find no abuse of discretion,” the appeals court decision says.

In December 2018, Tingler was also indicted for allegedly making threats to officials in Ottawa, Erie, Crawford and Defiance counties.

Gov. announces plans for specialty courts Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced funding for an additional 30 specialty courts would be included in his budget recommendation for the upcoming 2020-2021 budget biennium.

“Specialty dockets give judges the flexibility necessary when they encounter someone in the court system who may benefit more from treatment for substance use disorder rather than serving jail time,” Gov. DeWine said. “These specialty courts are a proven way to hold those with substance use disorder accountable and ensure participation in mental health and addiction treatment.”

The recommendation, announced during a visit to the Mahoning County Common Pleas Drug Court, overseen by Judge John Durkin, includes $2.5 mil-

Lesser Scaup

lion in fiscal year 2020 to add 15 specialty dockets and $5.0 million in fiscal year 2021 to support the newly created specialty dockets and fund an additional 15.

Once a person successfully completes a specialized docket program, they are often able to reintegrate back into the workforce without felony conviction or other collateral consequences, reducing their chances of recidivism.

Increasing the number of specialty court dockets in the state is part of the governor’s RecoveryOhio plan to improve prevention, treatment, and recovery supports for those with a mental health condition and/or substance use disorder.

Drug charges filed

Cocaine seized

An Arizona man has been charged with trafficking in drugs after a deputy of the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office was called to assist March 10 with a vehicle crash investigation in Martin.

Victor Hugo Chavez Luzania, 34, Peoria, Arizona, was also charged with operating a vehicle under the influence, possession of criminal tools, obstructing official business and failure to control a motor vehicle.

According to the sheriff’s office, nearly 20 pounds of suspected marijuana were found with plastic bags and other items commonly used for packaging and distribution.

The deputy observed signs of impairment from the driver and detected an odor of raw marijuana from inside the vehicle.

Clay Township police assisted on the scene.

Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers filed felony drug charges March 7 against a Michigan woman after a traffic stop in Wood County. During the traffic stop, troopers seized 500 grams of cocaine worth $17,750.

Troopers stopped a rented 2019 Jeep Compass with Michigan registration for a speed violation on Interstate 75. While interacting with the driver, troopers detected an odor of raw marijuana coming from the vehicle. A probable cause search revealed the contraband.

The driver, Karrisa Calhoun, 30, of Grand Rapids, Mich., was incarcerated in the Wood County Justice Center and charged with possession and trafficking in cocaine, both first-degree felonies.

If convicted, she could face up to 22 years in prison and up to a $40,000 fine.

Oregon OK’s agreement with natural gas supplier

By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon City Council on Monday approved an agreement with Volunteer to act as the city’s natural gas supplier for a 24 month period.

The city is a charter member of the Northwest Ohio Aggregation Coalition (NOAC), which was formed in 2003 after legislation permitted aggregation by governments of gas and electric purchases to cut costs for consumers. Since 2003, NOAC has saved residents and small businesses millions in natural gas bills versus the Columbia Gas tariff price.

On an annual basis, NOAC evaluates and makes recommendations as to whether communities should enter into agreements with managed programs. NOAC, through Palmer Energy, solicited proposals from 11 potential suppliers for a new supply of natural gas. At least two proposals were received. After a thorough review of each proposal, it was determined, and recommended, by Palmer Energy that the proposal of Volunteer be accepted as the one that would provide the most cost savings to consumers. It is estimated that the contract will save the NOAC customer base $1,080,000 annually. “We always found it to be in the best interests of consumers in Oregon to be in the aggregation,� said Mayor Mike Seferian. “Quite frankly, it’s rare to find someone who saves money who is not in the aggregation.�

City Administrator Mike Beazley agreed. “So far, we’ve put a couple million dollars in the pockets of our residents in the aggregate since its inception. We’ve never found anyone who’s been able to beat the aggregation price over a period of time. We think it’s a reasonable approach.�

Calls from residents Councilman Tim Zale asked Beazley if the city informs residents about the aggregation program.

“How many calls do we get per year to the city offices from people who are confused about this? Do we let people know that we’re actually doing this? We used to have it on our website.�

Beazley said the city still gets calls from residents regarding the program. “No matter how much we communicate about it, we still get calls,� said Beazley. “We get certainly dozens and dozens.� He added that many calls come in when competing marketers contact residents about the supposed benefits of signing up with their companies.

Among the challenges, he said, is that the Public Utilities Commission requires that residents be notified of “opt out� provisions of NOAC agreements if they want to choose their own suppliers. “That prompts the calls,� said Beazley. “We get fewer calls than we used to as people have gotten used to it over the years.

Many times, the calls will be from residents who signed with a supplier going door to door. Then they discover it sounded really good when they signed up. Then they realize they are paying more than if they hadn’t signed up. Then we help them get out of it.

We connect them with the folks at Palmer

Energy, who talk them through and help them switch out.�

Other calls are from residents who are just asking simple questions about the program, he added.

Solar option Beazley said he is exploring a solar option for residents. “By the time this next contract is up, we’re going to see if we can get some proposals. We are getting requests to allow our residents to be able to make the choice if they want to buy a sustainable power source. It would be a choice available to our residents. We’ve been meeting with First Solar on some options available. We’ll see if there is something on the next contract on the electric side.�

Solicitation Councilwoman Sandy Bihn said she constantly gets solicitation calls from Toledo Edison wanting her to switch her electric supplier. “I can’t get rid of them. Can anyone tell me how to stop the calls? I can’t imagine I’m the only one. It’s extremely annoying.

I can hardly understand them. They don’t

speak good English. I’ve told them not to call me again. But I can’t get rid of them. Is there anything anyone can do to stop the barrage of calls trying to get us to switch?� she asked. “My wife and I actually have a solution to that,� said Beazley. “We don’t answer our landline anymore,� he laughed. “I actually talk to them,� said Seferian, who is known to enjoy a good conversation. “They don’t usually call back.� “You’re going to have to let me know what you’re saying,� said Bihn.

Emergency management director named The Wood County commissioners have selected Jeff Klein as the new Director of the Emergency Management Agency.

The EMA director coordinates local, state and national resources that may be needed to respond to and recover from the effects of a disaster.

Klein, from Perrysburg, will begin his new role on March 29 with the retirement of current Director Brad Gilbert.

Klein currently serves as the Deputy Director of the Wood County Emergency Management Agency. He has 32 years of fire service experience, having worked most recently for the City of Perrysburg as a firefighter-paramedic, assistant fire chief, and for 10 years as fire chief.

Boiler gifted to Woodville Library If you’re visiting the Woodville Library this winter and find it warm and toasty you can thank Chuck Henson, owner of Henson Plumbing & Heating, Inc., Bridge Street, Woodville.

When the library branch’s 22-year-old boiler system began needing frequent repairs, Henson installed a new boiler, in-

cluding piping, pumps and other material at no charge to the library. The removal of the old system and installation of the new one took about 1 ½ days and Henson even donated his labor to the library – a total value of about $6,000.

“The library greatly appreciates Chuck and this gift,” said Rene Dix, branch supervisor.

Deb Grove, office manager at Henson Plumbing & Heating, called The Press about Henson’s generosity and said he would be too modest to mention it.

Office manager retiring The Lake Township trustees have accepted the resignation of Jeanne Rogacki, the office manager of the police department for 30 years, who is retiring.

In her letter of resignation, Rogacki wrote she had worked for five police chiefs.

With accumulated time, her resignation will be effective May 1.

Trustees Richard Welling said she is “an outstanding employee who will be missed.”

Workplace Grant to help low-income in Ottawa County Commodore Perry Federal Credit Union has been awarded a grant of $875,000 to increase economic opportunity for low-income residents of Ottawa County.

The grant was awarded through the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Community Development Financial Institutions Fund to provide access to technical school training.

The non-profit credit union will leverage grant funds with two products: a wage replacement loan and a career training loan.

Under the grant program, CPFCU will partner with Terra State Community College, EHOVE, Benton-Carroll-Salem schools, Port Clinton schools and the Ottawa County Improvement Corp.

“Commodore Perry exists to help the hard working people of Ottawa County,” said Mike Barr, president/ceo of the credit union. “As a not-for-profit, our credit union is committed to helping people to help themselves get to a better place in their lives.

He said the wage replacement loan is the first of its kind in the country and the career training loan addresses a funding barrier as traditional forms of financial aid

and student loans often can’t be used for certificate programs.

The funding is part of a nationwide round of awards to organizations like Commodore Perry totaling $202.2 million.

Commodore Perry was one of 48 credit unions nationwide to receive the grant.

Seventy percent of Commodore Perry’s members are low income, earning less than $53,346.

93% Yes, they should have waited until all the facts were presented.

7% No, it was a serious issue that needed to be focused on.

Break your mental chains of self-imposed bondage Metal chains have been used throughout history to keep people in bondage.

Chains limit freedom by restricting movement. People in chains long to be free of their bondage. No rational person wants to live in chains.

Yet, a surprising number of people choose to live in self-imposed virtual bondage. They restrict themselves with the mental chains they create. This strategy limits what they can, and will accomplish.

Mental chains are just as constraining as the physical ones.

Are you frustrated with negative issues which are holding you back? These are aspects about yourself which you would love to change, but feel you can’t. You may have tried unsuccessfully to make improvements and now have given up.

The way you think impacts every aspect of your life. If you tell yourself you can do something, you are right. Conversely, if you tell yourself you can’t do something, you are also right. So, the first step to breaking your chains of bondage is altering your thinking.

Some of the chains people create for

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden themselves include addictions, a hot emotional temper, guilt, regrets, low self-esteem, fear, and financial problems. These people make excuses as to why they can’t, or won’t free themselves. Excuses keep you in bondage.

The excuses typically blame other people or circumstances for your current predicament. Excuses are made to absolve you of taking responsibility for your life.

Breaking your mental chains of bondage requires you to stop making excuses.

Once the excuses are gone, you can start taking responsibility for your life.

This step enables you to move forward toward your desired objectives. This process involves figuring out exactly what you want, formulating a plan to achieve it, and then taking action.

Your mental chains are broken one little step at a time. You won’t reverse many years of conditioning instantly. Making these changes requires dedication and determination. You must commit yourself to doing what it takes to break free.

Although breaking free takes effort, so does suffering in bondage. Since effort is required either way, you may as well direct your effort to producing a more desirable way of life. Enjoying life is preferable to constant frustration.

Your chains are broken one step at a time. Each step should be small enough to be successfully doable. The key is to be constantly moving forward, step by step.

Stumbling and falling is a normal part of the breaking free process. Whenever this happens, get right back up and resume your forward journey.

Progress, no matter how small, is still progress. Getting from the starting line to the finish line is a process. It doesn’t happen in one step. Breaking free requires patience.

It may not happen as fast as you would like.

But as long as it is happening, you are ahead.

Positive self-talk is also essential for

Questions about the ‘farmer of the future’

By Jim Hightower How’re you gonna keep ‘em down on the farm after they’ve seen… Angus? Not the cattle breed, but the 1,000-pound “farmer of the future.”

Angus is a robot, toiling away on an indoor hydroponic farm that’s soilless as well as soulless. Programmed by a multimilliondollar Silicon Valley start-up named Iron Ox, Angus’ homestead is an 8,000-squarefoot concrete warehouse in a San Francisco suburb.

The farm bot is more of a heavy lifter than a heavy thinker, wheeling around the warehouse to lift, move, and hand off large pallets produce to another robot that, so far, hasn’t earned a name. The human overseers of this robotic animal farm don’t wear John Deere caps, but clean-room hair nets, ap-

We have also recently begun directing efforts to combat the current opioid crisis in Ottawa County. Rotary also funds many national and international projects providing assistance for medical relief for people in need including polio and small pox vaccinations in third world countries and disaster plagued areas.

mega farms ship from thousands of miles away. But local farmers markets already do that, and the consumer dollars stay in the community, rather than being siphoned off to Iron Ox and the Wall Street financiers of Angus robots.

The robotic indoor farm hucksters quietly concede that their real business plan depends on “sidestepping” the cost of human labor and local farm owners. Instead of democratizing our food economy, their scheme concentrates food profits in a handful of absentee syndicators, rich investors, and technology giants.

breaking free. Constantly tell yourself exactly what you can, and will do. This programs your brain to focus on accomplishing your goals. Your mind works nonstop processing what you are telling it. Breaking free requires telling yourself that you can, and will be successful.

Worrying about changing is a waste of time. Worry also leads to fear and doubt.

Worry must be replaced with action. Being busy moving forward displaces your insecurities. Each successful step forward adds to your confidence.

You can break through whatever mental chains have been holding you back.

You free yourself from one link at a time, and then one chain at a time. This is an immensely rewarding process which will enhance your life in ways you never imagined.

Children Services lauds investments in child protection Before an audience of county children services agency leaders, including Lucas County Children Services (LCCS) executive director Robin Reese, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine on March 7 announced an unprecedented 95 percent increase in the state’s investment in protecting abused and neglected children.

That $74 million announcement, along with related spending proposals, makes good on a campaign promise that Ohio should not be last in the nation when it comes to the state’s responsibility for funding such a critical program.

“This proposed investment is very needed in Lucas County. While the number of child abuse reports declined slightly between 2017 and 2018, the number of substantiated abuse victims jumped 16 percent.

The number of calls involving suspected abuse or neglect that were confirmed rose five percent in that same period, because the referrals we investigated involved more serious situations,” Reese said.

“Gov. DeWine is standing up for the vulnerable children and families of Lucas County,” Reese added. “This investment will help us address the crisis in our children services system by providing funding to offset rising placement costs, serving families struggling with addiction and mental illness, preventing children from coming into foster care, and providing more suitable placements for children who do have to come into custody.”

In addition to increasing the State Child Protection Allocation by $30 million per year, up from $60 million, to give struggling county agencies the ability to pay the rising costs of serving children, Governor

Governor Mike DeWine and LCCS executive director Robin Reese. (Submitted photo) DeWine announced: • $25 million for multi-system youth,

to prevent parents from having to relinquish custody of children with develop-

mental disabilities or severe mental illness so that they can get the treatment they need; • $8.5 million to support struggling grandparents and other kin care providers who unexpectedly find themselves caring for children, and to invest in recruiting much-needed foster parents; • $5.5 million to expand the Bridges program for youth who emancipate from our system without achieving permanency; • $4.5 million to expand evidencebased programs like Ohio START, a wraparound sobriety and trauma treatment program being piloted in several counties; and 30 Days to Family to prevent children from coming into foster care; • $2.6 million to help our caseworkers be more efficient and productive in the field.

“The Governor is saving a system in crisis and making wise investments,” Reese said. “These programs will alleviate the pressure on our county agency budget, which has struggled to pay rising costs. But more importantly, he is saving children and families by improving their chance for a better future.”

LCCS is a longstanding member of Public Children Services Association of Ohio, which is working with county agencies across the state and other stakeholders to support the Governor’s proposals. “The Governor’s leadership, with the support of his administration, will afford Ohio’s vulnerable children and families the quality services that will strengthen our state across the board,” Angela Sausser, executive director of the PCSAO said, adding, “As an association, we stand ready to work with our local legislators on the Governor’s proposals.”

Doctors offer eight tips to help prevent rosacea flare-ups Rosacea is a common skin condition that causes redness to form across the nose and cheeks.

According to dermatologists from the American Academy of Dermatology, multiple factors — including sunlight, stress, and many foods and beverages — can play a role in worsening rosacea symptoms.

In addition to seeing a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment, patients can help control their condition and prevent it from getting worse by identifying and avoiding the things that cause their rosacea to flare.

“Rosacea makes the skin extremely sensitive, and as a result, many things — what we call triggers — can make the condition worse,” says board-certified dermatologist Arielle N.B. Kauvar, MD, FAAD. “Although triggers can vary from one person to the next, a good way to help pinpoint your triggers is to keep a journal of the things you eat and drink, the personal care products you use, and the things you’re exposed to that could cause your rosacea to flare. Once you have identified your triggers, it’s important to avoid them to prevent flare-ups.”

Dr. Kauvar recommends the following tips, based on common triggers, to help

avoid rosacea flare-ups: Protect your skin from the sun. Sun exposure is one of the most common causes of rosacea flare-ups. Even people with dark skin tones can have a flare-up after being outdoors in the sun. To protect your skin, seek shade and wear protective clothing, including a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses with UV protection, whenever possible. In addition, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher to all exposed skin every day you’re going to be outside. Make sure the sunscreen is fragrance-free, and look for the active ingredients zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, as they are least likely to irritate sensitive skin.

Minimize stress. If stress causes your rosacea to flare, find an activity that helps relieve your stress and do it often. Common outlets for stress include exercise, meditation, tai chi or joining a rosacea support group.

Avoid overheating — even during exercise. Take warm baths and showers rather than hot ones, and sit far enough away from fireplaces, heaters and other heat sources so that you don’t feel the direct warmth. If you’re working out, keep supplies with you

Limit alcohol. When it comes to flareups from alcohol, red wine may be the biggest culprit. If you choose to drink, consider beverages other than red wine, and limit your intake to one or two drinks with a cold glass of water in between.

Protect your face from wind and cold.

Wearing a scarf is a great option for protecting your skin against the elements. Look for scarves made of silk or acrylic, and avoid wool and other rough-feeling fabrics, as these can trigger a flare-up.

“Without treatment, rosacea symptoms can worsen and include permanent redness, visible blood vessels, burning and stinging, and acne-like breakouts,” Dr. Kauvar says. “That’s why it’s important to see a dermatologist for treatment, as well as understand what causes your condition to flare and avoid those triggers.”

These tips are demonstrated in “How to Prevent Rosacea Flare-Ups ,” a video posted to the AAD website and YouTube channel. This video is part of the AAD’s “Video of the Month” series, which offers tips people can use to properly care for their skin, hair and nails. A new video in the series posts to the AAD website and YouTube channel each month.

to help you cool down, such as a cold water bottle, or a towel that you can dip in cold water and drape around your neck. It’s also a good idea to dress in layers so you can remove clothing if you get too warm.

Simplify your skin care routine. Skin care plays an important role in keeping rosacea under control, as many skin care products are too harsh for people with rosacea. When shopping for skin care products, look for mild, gentle formulas made for sensitive skin. Avoid any skin care products that contain menthol, camphor, sodium lauryl sulfate and alcohol, as these can trigger flare-ups. Products that contain retinoids can irritate your skin and may need to be avoided or used less frequently.

In addition, be gentle to your skin and do not rub, scrub or massage your face.

Opt for mild foods. Since spicy foods often trigger rosacea symptoms, opt for milder versions of your favorite dishes. If your rosacea still flares, it’s best to avoid spicy foods altogether.

Opt for cold beverages. Studies show that the heat from hot beverages can cause some people’s rosacea to flare. Try iced coffee or tea instead, or let your beverage cool first before drinking it.

benefit the Brown Bag Food Project is being planned for Saturday, April 13 from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. at the Wood County Historical Center & Museum, 13660 County Home Rd., Bowling Green.

The project is sponsored by the BGSU Ceramics Department and the Wood County Historical Center & Museum with a goal of raising funds to help fight food insecurity in Wood County.

The Brown Bag Food Project is a local nonprofit that seeks to address issues of food insecurity in Wood County. The organization provides individuals with a fiveto seven-day supply of food and personal hygiene items, as well as pet food to those who need it, to help meet immediate needs.

It also offers a resource guide to connect people to additional community resources for long-term support.

Teen suicide talk During a meeting of Millbury Neighborhood Watch on Wednesday, March 20, a representative from Children’s Resource Center in Bowling Green will lead a discussion on the important topic of teen suicide. The meeting, which is open to the public, will begin at 7 p.m. and is being conducted at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church.

Teen suicide has become more and more of an issue, with a recent incident occurring in Lake Township.

The discussion will focus on warning signs everyone can watch for that may be indications a teen or even younger child may exhibit if they are contemplating taking their own life.

“The speaker will also talk about risk factors for adolescent suicide,” said Ron Craig, Lake Township Police Department’s crime prevention officer and community policing officer. “Things the teen may say or do may not mean much to some people unless they are able to recognize these warning signs. We need to do everything we can to prevent these incidents from happening.”

Teen suicide is the third leading cause of death of people ages 15 to 24, behind accidents and homicides, and the fourth leading cause of death of youngsters ages 10 to 14.

The meeting is expected to last about one hour, with time for questions from the audience.

St. Paul’s United Methodist Church is located on SR 795 on the south edge of Millbury, just east of Main Street.

Further information on the meeting, and on Neighborhood Watch, may be obtained by contacting Officer Craig at 419481-6354.

Inspirational Message of the Week: Letting Go of Bitterness We all sometimes hold on to anger and bitterness for too long. Thereis something in us which wants to savor the bitterness of real or imagined wrongs which have been done to us. We obsessively return in our mind to what the person said or did, like touching the sore of a wound. But just as your mother reminded you to stop picking your scabs, we would do well to let go of anger and bitterness. In the book Flourish the psychologist Martin Seligman reports that “Holding on to anger and bitterness maintains depression and undermines well-being.”

Besides being the Christian thing to do, and a

Northwood

reflection of God’s forgiveness, forgiving others allows us to move on with our lives. It’s always better to forget the wrongs done to us in the past and move forward with plans for a better future. Some people are blessed with the ability to almost immediately let things go, while others are cursed with a long memory for grievances. So even if you cannot manage to forget the wrong done to you, you might still find it in your power to forgive. “Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” —Ephesians 4:31-32 NIV

In Hocking Hills

Yurts offer a comfortable way to connect with nature Getting close to nature is fulfilling and satisfying, as well as easier and more comfortable than ever.

Thoughts like that happen when a staccato of raindrops hits the canvas, an instant throwback to experiences tent camping over so many years. It’s a comforting sound, really. A secure feeling that you’re safely sheltered – warm and dry – with the bonus of a soothing rhythm to lull you to sleep.

The rain is falling on a tent, but it’s a spacious tent – a yurt, actually - like no other you’ve experienced.

On a clear night, the crescent moon and stars are visible through a clear plastic opening – sort of a big skylight – in the center of the tent’s circular roof. Through the canvas walls, owls and other creatures of the night can be heard hooting and moving about. Dawn brings the sound of birds singing and woodpeckers drumming out territories.

In a yurt, you’re warm and comfortable, yet connected with nature. Simple satisfactions, simple pleasures enjoyed in a tent based on those used by the Mongols and other nomads of central Asia. Traditionally it was a cylindrical structure with a wall supported by poles then covered with skins hung on wooden lattice-work.

Yurts like those at the Inn at Cedar Falls in Hocking Hills are kind of like that,

Natural Wanders

by Art Weber Continued from page 12 only different. Nomads aren’t likely to have heat and air conditioning, electricity, running water, toilet, shower, a luxurious king size bed, gas log fireplace, kitchenette, and, well, pretty much every comfort you can imagine in a quality accommodation.

So, staying in a yurt at the Inn at Cedar Falls has all the advantages of a modern getaway with the bonus of a special connection with the outdoors.

Simple, natural, yet with the conveniences of home.

“It’s cushy camping that includes a gourmet breakfast,” said Innkeeper Ellen Grinsfelder,

The yurts – three of them – were added to the Inn last fall, giving visitors a choice of four different kinds of accommodations – yurts, luxury cabins with fireplaces, cottages with in-room whirlpool tubs and gas log stoves, and bed and breakfast rooms.

Some of them are pet-friendly.

“No one else has four different kinds of accommodations and the full range of experiences,” she said. Also available at the inn is fine dining and a spa, all fitting neatly on 75 acres of natural beauty that butts up to Hocking Hills State Park on three sides.

Initially, the plan was to make the yurts a three-season availability.

“Our first thought was to close them in winter, but we reconsidered and people are just loving them,” Ellen said. Though winter is the Inn’s slowest season it’s actually one of the best times to visit.

“The rushing waterfalls and all the ice formations just can’t be beat,” she said.

Three important stretches for chronic sitters ProMedica Fitness Team ProMedica HealthConnect We all know that prolonged sitting takes a toll on our bodies. It can lead to stiff joints, weak muscles and an overall sedentary lifestyle that may increase your risk for disease.

Our bodies were made to move. But, the reality for many of us is that we have to sit, sometimes for a long time. Ann Heckler, fitness instructor at ProMedica Wildwood Athletic Club, says that listening to your body is key.

“Move when you need to move,” she says. If you’re typing at a computer, stop to rotate your wrists every 15 minutes or so.

Depending on your job, get up to walk when you can. How you sit is important, too. “When you’re seated at your desk, you should have your sitting bones (the bony protrusions on your bottom that touch the seat of your chair) higher than your knees.”

“You can also firm your core while sitting,” says Heckler. “Try to lift the area just be-

low your navel area up and back, as if you are pulling it into your ribs. You can perform this exercise anywhere, such as an office chair or even the car. When done regularly, it can build strength in the low abs and support for your low back.”

Good posture makes a difference, too.

Sitting with your shoulders slouched and your tailbone tucked under can lead to strain and muscle weakness. Your pelvis should be in a neutral position and your shoulder blades pulled down toward your waist so your upper back muscles are engaged. This will help keep your body aligned while sitting.

For chronic sitters, Heckler recommends three types of stretching that move your spine in the various directions that it needs to move.

“Try to make time to fit these movements into your workday at least every hour, or more frequently if you feel discomfort or compression building up,” she says.

Rotation

Get Stretching Flexion Extension (Seated Cat Cow) Similar to a “cat cow” movement, this exercises helps awaken your spine and get blood moving. Round your back and tuck your tailbone under, then pull your shoulders and tailbone back to extend.

Rotation This rotation is a little more than just a turn or twist. Keep your hips and legs stable, then pull yourself up tall before rotating. “A spinal twist should be like going up a spiral staircase–you’d go up and around and not just turn yourself around,” explains Heckler. It shouldn’t be a big or fast movement either. Ease into it mindfully.

Lateral flexion (side bends) Similar with a rotation, pull yourself up tall before bending to each side. Hold each bend for about five breaths.

Outreach program supports grandparents raising grandkids For example, we got custody of our grandkids in Erie County, so there’s no record of that in Ottawa County,” Cornett said.

Peters has also been working to procure funding and set up Grandparent Cafés – evenings of sharing, learning and making new friends for grandparents raising grandchildren.

“We’ve been kind of doing it on a group basis and trying to help people who need cash assistance and food assistance,” she said. “We are currently in the process of trying to hire another advocate.”

“

...connect grandparents with services available to them.

“

Raising kids is enough of a challenge, but raising grandchildren offers unique challenges all their own.

That’s why the Ottawa County Family Advocacy Center created GRANDlove, a program designed to help people raising their grandchildren.

Connie Cornett, executive director of the OCFAC, talked about what the program does.

“GRANDlove is an advocacy program for grandparents who have taken custody of children,” she says. “We offer support and connect grandparents with services available to them.

“Our job is to help families navigate the legal and educational framework of the county, to have stable families in the county and to help families work through the county. We help with cash assistance, getting them to Job & Family Services and getting them the monetary support they need. We also help with a grandchild needing tutoring and mental health services. We’re trying to help them navigate all of the systems so they can get all of the services they need. Being a custodial grandparent myself for the last 16 years, I know what that’s all about.

“It’s a passion of mine because I took custody of my grandchildren when they were 2 years old and now they’re 18.

Through the Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) program, we see how grandparents are ending up with the kids, and a lot of it has to do with the opioid crisis. Lots of grandparents take the grandchildren and keep them safe.

It changes the grandparents’ whole life (because) they are no longer empty-nesters, they are back to dealing with schools and

dealing with social media. It’s a passion for me to see that the grandparents get the support they need. If the grandparents have the support they need, the kids do better.”

The program coordinator is Judy Peters, who has a background in education.

Most recently, she was the director of student services at Benton-Carroll-Salem Schools.

“What Judy has been doing since she started with us is a huge task that has been trying to identify grand families that don’t necessarily wind up with the court system.

Those poised to begin a health regimen that includes probiotics would be wise to also educate themselves about the closely named, yet different, “prebiotics” that are also beneficial to health.

Prebiotics are to probiotics what fertilizer is to a vegetable garden. Prebiotics are essentially a special type of soluble fiber that is used by the beneficial bacteria as fuel, advises the prebiotic supplement company Prebiotin.

Examples of good sources of prebiotics include bananas, onions, garlic, Jerusalem artichokes, and apple skins.

The prebiotic fiber moves through the small intestine undigested and fermented until it reaches the large intestine. Beneficial bacteria break it down and use it as food. Thusly, the prebiotics can then multiply readily and improve the balance of good and bad bacteria in the gut. Eating prebiotic foods can fuel the process, but many probiotic supplements now have a combination formula that includes prebiotics in the recipe.

Financial symmetry & weight loss — it pays to do the math When I decided to study business in college, I did so not really knowing what it meant to actually “study business.”

Like most people, I had a vague sense that marketing was involved somehow and that some math must be a part of the deal, but I really didn’t know much more than that. So when I sat in my first accounting class and we were presented with something called the accounting equation, my head almost exploded. You mean to tell me that the entirety of a business’ health could be expressed in a single equation?

That’s…crazy.

Well, if it were fully true, it would be crazy. The truth is, the accounting equation is the basis for something called the double entry accounting system that entails a whole lot of other nifty formulas and tools that begin to tell a story about a business.

In other words, it’s not that this single formula explained the entire financial universe, but it was still really impactful to see an equation so simple and elegant do some much heavy lifting for those who wish to understand a business.

If you’re wondering what the equation is, it’s: Assets = (Liabilities + Owner’s Equity). That translates roughly to: a company’s value is comprised of what it owes to others plus what the owners actually own outright.

Like double entry accounting, the weight loss business could be made to appear wildly simplistic. For those wishing to lose weight, the formula looks like, Desired Weight = (Calories Burned + Calories Consumed). Again, this doesn’t tell the entire story of food quality, genetics, and other factors, but the multi-billion dollar weight loss industry could choose to cut through a lot of clutter and simply tell people, “Eat less, exercise more.”

What’s so intriguing about these formulas is the fact that there’s an elegant symmetry to them. Balance one side with the other and beauty results. Simply select the goal, determine one side of the

Beyond the Money

by Adam Cufr equation and the other side of the equation will tell you precisely what work needs to be done to achieve the desired outcome.

For example, want more assets, then reduce debt. Want a thinner figure? Then reduce calorie intake or increase exercise.

It’s so simple – yet...

Why do we all continue to struggle with these things if it’s so darned simple?

Why can’t we just do the math and dial-in perfect results?

Here are some reasons why it’s not so simple: • Chocolate cake with boiled chocolate frosting • Pizza Hut’s stuffed crust pizza • Nutella • Starbucks Breakfast Blend • The new Lincoln Navigator • Quartz countertops and professional grade stainless steel appliances • Coach Dreamer bags • iPhone XS • Every exotic trip your friends take that you haven’t taken yet Any of these items, when placed into your equation for weight loss or financial freedom, can throw the symmetry out of balance. Not forever, but for long enough that something will need to be done soon or the equation becomes either unworkable or so painful to look at that you stop looking altogether. After all, it’s just easier to just pretend everything’s okay than it is to apply some effort to shoring up the equation.

I suppose we could use an equation for retirement success. Something like, Retirement Success: Annual Income Needed To Remain Retired = (Size Of Nest Egg x 4 percent Annual Withdrawal

Rate). In many situations, this would prove to be quite close to the truth. Like everything else, there’s much nuance to consider, but we’re getting close to the heart of the matter with just these ingredients.

Naturally, people who live on a lot less income than they earn for a long period of time grow a much bigger nest egg than those who don’t. Those who draw more than 4% from their nest egg during retirement will shrink the nest egg much faster than those who live on less. And those who don’t live very long in retirement needn’t worry as much about any of this as those who do live a long life; just enjoy spending the money! So with any equation, it’s the variables that need to be solved for.

So whether your variables are

Starbucks and Coach Bags or maybe an affinity for large luxury SUVs, it pays to do some math every now and then just to keep on track. After all, none of us are made up of pure math, so let’s not pretend this is all about the numbers. Vacations are fun and so are beautiful new kitchens.

We just need to watch the numbers closely enough that we keep some symmetry in our equations, whether that be our account size or our waistline.

Neighbors Calling Neighbors ProMedica and Area Office on Aging (AOoA) have teamed up to implement a program that prevents social isolation and brings new social connections for seniors.

Research shows social isolation can affect physical, mental and emotional health.

As the aging process continues, social connections decrease and the older population is at risk of social isolation. This isolation is a health hazard that increases mortality in adults aged 55 and older.

Neighbors Calling Neighbors is a free program consisting of weekly scheduled phone calls from trained AOoA volunteers to seniors’ homes. The goal of the program is to formulate friendships and prevent social isolation, specifically during the winter months when social isolation is at an increase. To determine referrals for the program, seniors go through a screening process by their primary care office to determine the risk of social isolation.

For more information about Neighbors Calling Neighbors, contact the Area Office on Aging at 419-382-0624.

Make unoccupied homes look “lived-in” There are many things that need to be considered when it comes time for a relative to enter a nursing facility, but most family members rarely consider safety and security at that person’s home.

Thieves have become very skillful at spotting homes that are vacant, even temporarily. As a result, these homes are prime targets for burglaries, and there are measures family members can take to help prevent them.

Stays in a nursing facility can range from short times, such as stints for rehabilitation, to a permanent move. Even when a family member enters a nursing facility for a more permanent situation, many sons, daughters and other relatives are understandably reluctant to rent out or sell the property. This is thought of as being akin to taking mom’s or dad’s keys to a vehicle— something children know is tough to do and can have psychological impacts.

One measure that can be taken to make a home less vulnerable to burglary is to make it look more lived-in. Variable timing devices are a good way to accomplish this.

Although single-event timers are better than nothing, thieves can quickly recognize a pattern in lights, radios, and televisions coming on and going off at usual times.

A variable timer that can be set for different and multiple times each day are not that expensive and can be purchased at discount department stores, hardware stores and farm stores. You can program these timers to have devices come on and go off just about any time of the day and night.

Having radios and televisions on at various times will use some electricity, but it is still a very inexpensive method to give the impression someone is at home.

If a vehicle is parked on the property, take a few minutes to move it to different spots every few days, giving the impression someone at the residence is coming and going. Keeping the yard mowed and trimmed is another good idea.

You will also want to make sure mail and newspapers do not pile up. You can spend money and expend energy doing things to make a home look lived-in, but if mail and newspapers are not handled prop-

Have the post office hold the mail for you to pick up regularly or consider renting a post office box while your loved one is away. Ask any daily newspaper to suspend delivery and stop by the home on Mondays to get The Press if it is delivered to the home. This also gives you an opportunity to check the residence regularly for any problems.

You will want to make sure doors have good deadbolt locks that work properly.

Ones with a longer bolt action work best.

Older doors that have a window through which a burglar can reach in to unlock the door should have a metal grate installed on them to prevent this.

How to improve circulation throughout your body The human body is a complex, efficient machine. One highly important component of that machine is the circulatory system, which sends blood, oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.

In perfectly healthy bodies, blood, oxygen and nutrients circulate throughout the body without issue. However, several conditions, including obesity and diabetes, can contribute to poor circulation, which is not a standalone condition but rather a byproduct of another serious health issue.

According to the health information site Healthline, when the circulatory system is not working at optimal capacity, people may experience tingling, numbness and throbbing or stinging pain in the limbs. Pain and muscle cramps also may result from

ment you note a symptom. Doctors will confirm if patients are experiencing circulation issues and diagnose what’s causing those issues. Doctors also will work with their patients to devise a course of treatment for the issue that’s causing their poor circulation.

• If necessary, lose weight and keep it off. Obesity is one of the conditions that can contribute to poor circulation. So many people who are diagnosed with poor circulation may be advised to lose weight and keep the weight off once it’s been lost. A 2009 study published in the International Journal of Cardiology found that losing weight helped obese women improve their circulation. A healthy diet that includes fish like salmon that is high in omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to improve circulation,

can help people lose weight and maintain healthy weights going forward.

• Consider yoga. A 2014 review of an assortment of peer-reviewed studies found that yoga can have a positive impact on risk factors for cardiovascular disease. A low-impact exercise, yoga can compress and decompress veins, potentially improving circulation. It takes time to master yoga positions, but even beginners who cannot fully perform poses during a yoga regimen can benefit from doing the exercises to the best of their abilities.

Poor circulation is a byproduct of various conditions. Once a condition has been diagnosed, patients can help themselves by taking various steps to improve their circulation.

poor circulation, the symptoms of which vary depending on the causes. For example, someone whose circulation issues are a result of peripheral artery disease may experience different symptoms than someone whose circulation has been compromised by diabetes.

Because issues affecting the circulatory system are complex, it’s important for men and women to learn how to address such issues if they suspect their systems have been compromised.

• Visit your physician. Poor circulation results from various health issues, so people who think they are dealing with poor circulation should not try to address the issue on their own. Rather, the best way to improve circulation is to visit a physician the mo-

Balancing aging parents, family demands From the American Counseling Association Today more of us are living longer. The changes we’ve seen in people’s lifestyles, along with improved healthcare, have meant that living into our 80s and 90s is becoming more common.

That’s the good news, but these longer life spans can also represent additional burdens for many families. Although Dad and Mom may be looking forward to their 85th birthdays, they may not be in the same shape as they were in years past.

They may have increased health issues, can no longer be as independent as they once were, and may be making, out of necessity, more demands on younger family members.

While most of us want to be as supportive as possible to the seniors in our families, there can be times when the needs of elderly parents are demanding too high a price from their children. There are no easy

The

Counseling Corner answers to such situations, but there are some actions that might help.

A first step is trying to determine if the needs of an aging parent are real, or are they simply demands being made because he or she feels you “owe” help when and where it is desired? If some such demands don’t seem to have a legitimate basis, having a sincere heart to heart about the stress and problems these demands are causing you is a step that should be taken.

You might also want to look for other sources of help. Are there siblings who might be able to lend a hand? Even siblings or other relatives far away may surprise you with offers of unexpected aid. It’s also

worth exploring non-family help that may exist in the area. Neighbors and friends, when made aware of the problem, may be eager to offer some help and reduce your burden. Similarly, most towns have services for the elderly that might be able to aid with transportation and recreation needs.

Managing your time well is also important. Rather than simply being available on demand, you can create a schedule with an aging parent to cover small chores like shopping or bill paying.

It’s natural to want to provide needed help as parents become older and less capable, but it’s also important to be realistic and reasonable in how much assistance you can give. When you exceed your limits, you can end up with negative results for yourself, your family and that aging parent.

Social Security offers resources for women

By Erin Thompson Social Security Public ]Affairs Specialist, Toledo March is Women’s History Month – a time when we reflect on the achievements and contributions of our nation’s remarkable women.

Many of these heroes might be people close to you – mothers and daughters, aunts, and grandmothers. Each of them plays a special role in our lives as they provide love and support.

Social Security plays an important role in providing economic security for women. Nearly 55 percent of the people receiving Social Security benefits are women. In the 21st century, more women work, pay Social Security taxes, and earn credit toward monthly retirement income than at any other time in our nation’s his-

tory.

Women face greater economic challenges in retirement. First, women tend to live longer than men. A woman who is 65 years old today can expect to live, on average, until about 87, while a 65-year-old man can expect to live, on average, until about 84.

Second, women often have lower lifetime earnings than men.

And, third, women may reach retirement with smaller pensions and other assets than men.

Today, women have challenging choices to make. Some may spend their entire adulthood in a career or job outside the home. Some may work for a few years, leave the labor force to raise children, and eventually return to work. Others may choose not to work outside the home. Whether they work, have worked, or have never

worked outside the home, women should understand how Social Security can help them and their families.

If you’ve worked and paid taxes into the Social Security system for at least 10 years and have earned a minimum of 40 work credits, you may be eligible for your own benefits.

Once you reach age 62, you may be eligible for your own Social Security benefit whether you’re married or not and whether your spouse collects Social Security or not.

If you’re eligible and apply for benefits on more than one work record you generally receive the higher benefit amount.

We have specific information for women at www.socialsecurity.gov/people/women that you can easily share with friends and family. Giving this gift of knowledge can change the life of a woman you care about.

When patients struggle with vision, physical function, or cognition, driving can become one of the most difficult activities they’ll face in their daily lives.

To help patients overcome this challenge, Mercy Health – Oregon Outpatient Rehabilitation and Therapy launched the “On the Road Again” driver evaluation and training program with the help of Yark Automotive Group and the Mercy Health Foundation.

The “On the Road Again” program is broken into two portions: off-the-road evaluation, and on-the-road evaluation.

Using a simulator, the off-road evaluation includes testing of patients’ vision/ perception, cognition, and physical abilities to check whether it’s safe for them to get behind the wheel. Once in a vehicle, the on-road evaluation then tests these same skills with the use of specialized equipment to help determine if the driver would need vehicle modifications and training.

“I am so glad Mercy Health is able to fill this gap in patient services,” said Lynne Chapman, Mercy Health – Occupational Therapist and Certified Driver Rehabilitation Specialist. “The people who will be participating in this program will have the opportunity to maintain independence that is critical to their mobility, or determine if they need to explore alternative transportation methods.”

Supporting the cause, Yark Automotive Group and the Mercy Health Foundation are teaming up to provide necessary equipment needed for patients undergoing the “On the Road Again” program. The Mercy Health Foundation is donating a driving simulator for patients to test their off-road abilities, while Yark Automotive Group is donating a vehicle.

Colt, 1 year old, has been in search of that special someone since November! â&#x20AC;&#x153;A rock on the outside, but marshmallows and syrup on the inside. Nothing better than some old Johnny Cash records and fresh things to pee on for this guy. I love America, sticking my head out of the car window, and watching epic fail vids. So if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re into simple joy like getting off work early, or petting a dog, we should hang out and maybe drink some water out of the toilet. I love to dance when no one is looking, and live life to the fullest! Want to live it with me? My number is A024891, come swing by Lucas County Canine Care & Control and letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hang!â&#x20AC;?

Colt and 60+ of his canine friends are in need of homes right now! Spring is the perfect time to adopt, so stop on down to Lucas County Canine Care & Control - 410 S Erie St. Toledo - and ďŹ nd your new best friend!
