Ohio Lake Erie Commission

Use of dredge material to be discussed Grant proposals for using dredged material from Lake Erie will be discussed by the Ohio Lake Erie Commission at its quarterly meeting Sept. 18 in Port Clinton.

The meeting will be held at Camp Perry, Building 600, 1000 Lawrence Rd. and will start at 10 a.m.

The commission’s Dredge Research and Innovation in Farming Team, which was established by state statute to advise the commission of benefits and effectiveness of applying dredged material to agricultural land, has been reviewing various proposals.

According to a briefing paper prepared for the commission, commodities that pass through the Toledo Harbor contribute about $7 billion in annual business revenue and support 40,000 jobs. To maintain an adequate lake depth for vessels to use the harbor, about 850,000 tons of sediment are excavated annually from the shipping channel and disposed in the open waters of the lake – which will be prohibited after

“

This pilot project is an example of the type of public-private partnership that will help us eliminate the open lake disposal of dredge material by 2020.

July 1, 2020.

In 2016, the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority opened the Great Lakes Dredged Material Center for Innovation. The center is located on Summit Street in north Toledo and includes four cells to hold dredged material used for agricultural field testing.

There is also an “edge-of-field” treatment system research area, a blended soil pro-

duction area and a barge mooring area.

According to OLEC, the Toledo Harbor receives more sediment than any other Great Lakes harbor. Toledo Harbor dredging is the largest annual dredging project of any Great Lakes port, both in terms of cost and quantity dredged. Toledo Harbor dredging alone constitutes 25 percent of the total dredging in the Great Lakes.

“This pilot project is an example of the type of public-private partnership that will help us eliminate the open lake disposal of dredge material by 2020. Over the next four years, Ohio will be making a concerted effort to look for and develop beneficial use projects like this one for dredged material and sediment,” Craig Butler, Director of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, said at the opening of the dredged material center.

In addition to the 2020 deadline prohibiting the disposal of the material in open waters of the lake, agencies are also facing diminishing capacity at confined disposal facilities.

The Jerusalem Township Fire Department will use funds awarded by The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to upgrade its radios.

The Township will share $936,043 awarded by FEMA that will support and protect firefighters in eight Toledo area fire departments.

The fire departments will use $712,280 in Regional Request funds to finance the replacement of mobile and portable radios.

The departments will also get $223,223 to purchase operations and safety equipment.

Jim Wolfe II, a captain of the Jerusalem Township Fire Department, told The Press that FEMA has a few grant programs specific to fire safety services.

“This regional grant was written under the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) program for the 2017 fiscal cycle. So this grant is through 2017 monies but was just awarded last month,” said Wolfe, who also works for the Sylvania Township Fire Department. Wolfe wrote the grant.

The township fire department has received air packs from FEMA in the past, he said. The new funds will be used to upgrade portable radio communications.

“We’re going to start with our line officers who communicate and carry the portable radios all the time. We need to be able to communicate with other responding units and our dispatchers to get more information. The newer equipment will be in the hands of our officers. We also are going to replace some other first line portable radios. Every fire truck has a portable radio in each seat position. So we’re going to start rotating that stock out. We’re also going to upgrade mobile radios in two of our apparatus – a fire truck, and an ambulance,” said Wolfe.

Each portable radio retails for just under $5,000, he said.

Dredge material Continued from front page

International Dredging Review in July that four disposal facilities in Ohio at Toledo Harbor, Huron Harbor, Lorain Harbor and Cleveland Harbor have some capacity but are dwindling fast.

The OEPA is looking at other options for the dredged material, including using it to restore and create wetlands and making a marketable soil.

The Ohio legislature this summer approved an additional $10 million in capital funding for the Healthy Lake Initiative to reduce open lake disposal of dredged materials.

OLEC meetings are open to the public and include reports from the member state agencies and advisory committees, followed by a public comment period.

Harvest market dinner The annual Harvest Market Dinner, hosted by Toledo GROWs, will take place Thursday, September 20, from 6:00 p.m. – 9:30 p.m. at the Toledo Farmers’ Market, 525 Market Street in downtown Toledo.

This event serves as both a celebration of the fall harvest and a fundraiser for Toledo GROWs. The event features fresh, sustainably-grown local foods, locally crafted beer and wine, and local chefs. In the first six years of the gathering, nearly $220,000 has been raised to support the work of Toledo GROWs in the community, which educates people about the value of local nutritious food through an active urban farm and support for community gardens.

Local chefs create dishes from a signature ingredient produced at Toledo GROWs’ urban farm or in one of the Toledo GROWs community gardens.

New this year: local craft brewers will be serving their beer as tastings. Guests can enjoy a variety of locally-brewed beer and vote on which brewer will be first to gain the honor of Toledo GROWs Brew Boss!

Costs for the Harvest Market Dinner are just $75 per guest, or $200 for a group of four, and includes food and a cash bar.

Reservations may be made online at www. toledogrows.org or by calling 419-720-8714.

Plastic bags in Lake Erie cause of concern Oregon City Council last week said it would look into a resident’s request to find ways to reduce the pollution of plastic shopping bags that have blown into Lake Erie.

Maryrose Bigelow, of Seaman Road, asked city council at a meeting on Monday, “What are we doing to stop plastic bags from going into the lake?

“I’ve lived here for 35 years and it’s always been a problem to me to see the plastic bags blowing all over. We’re just not showing very good stewardship by not stopping things that we can stop,” said Bigelow. “It’s a huge problem for our oceans.”

She said she’s contacted the Monterey Bay Aquarium, a nonprofit aquarium in Monterey, California, that is considered a global leader in research and conservation of the ocean, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

“They sent me information on how huge this problem is. They say by 2050, we’re going to have more plastic in our oceans than fish. That’s just terrifying to me. I think if we can do something small locally it will have a big impact in the long run,” she said.

She asked council how the problem could be addressed. “I don’t know how you go about doing this – a petition to take it to the people, or a proposed city ordinance,” she said.

“

I think if we can do something small locally it will have a big impact in the long run.

“

Different approaches “There are many ways in which it can be approached,” said Council President Dennis Walendzak. “I know on the west coast, Monterey Bay, San Francisco, Seattle - those areas have plastic shopping bag bans. There’s a big effort now to go out and try to capture the plastic that’s floating in the ocean – there’s an island of plastic floating out in the ocean. There’s an effort right now to come up with technology to go out and try to capture some of that plastic in the ocean. But I don’t know if there’s ever been an effort by anyone in the Midwest.”

“Which is ironic,” said Bigelow, “because we’re living around the biggest fresh water source in the country.”

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, some of the plastic grocery bags found littering parks, roadsides and parking lots are transported into rivers when it rains via storm sewers, sewer over-

flows and drainage outflows. Eventually, rivers carry the plastic into lakes or oceans.

Reduced use City Administrator Mike Beazley said Chicago requires a .10 deposit for the single use of plastic shopping bags.

“Most people choose to have some other arrangement,” he said. “Kroger, an Ohio company, will phase out all plastic bags in seven years.”

“But I think as a community, we need to do something,” said Bigelow. “That’s my feeling. And I think there are a lot of other citizens who feel the same way. I’d be willing to do the leg work” Bigelow said she has lived six months out of the year in Eugene, Oregon after she retired. “It’s banned there. The Monterey Bay Aquarium is actually trying to help local communities fight these kinds of fights and stop the use of plastic bags. I don’t know if they have reached out to Ohio, but I can find out,” she said.

Councilman James Seaman asked about the status of plastic straws being banned in some parts of the country as a conservation measure. “They are eliminating those in many situations,” he said.

Walendzak said Starbucks has eliminated straws. He said the city will look further into Bigelow’s request to address the problem of bags in the lake.

“We’ll definitely take it under advisement and we’ll talk about it and see where it goes,” said Walendzak. He added that Bigelow can follow up on the issue with Beazley.

Meeting set for new neighborhood watch group A new Millbury Neighborhood Watch group will conduct its first meeting at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 20 at St. Peter UCC Church, 28505 Main St. “We announced at the Millbury Village Council meeting in August we were in the process of forming the township’s fourth Neighborhood Watch group in Millbury,” Lake Township Police Chief E. Mark Hummer said.

“We have now set the date, time, and place for an organizational meeting for this new group.”

Although the new group has been in the planning stages for the past few months, the recent armed robbery of a Millbury business may spur some Millbury area residents into attending the Neighborhood Watch meetings, the chief said.

“Millbury, like other areas of Lake Township, is certainly no hotbed of crime, and we want to keep it that way. This robbery should make it clear to everyone no area is immune from crime. One way to thwart criminal activity is for citizens to be vigilant, and Neighborhood Watch provides citizens with the knowledge and the

tools to do just that,” Chief Hummer said.

The new group will be open to residents of the Millbury area, including all residents of the northeastern portion of the township.

At the Sept. 20 meeting, members will be given information on what Neighborhood Watch is and what it isn’t.

“This is not a group of vigilantes who go out and fight crime themselves,” the chief noted. “Rather, it is a group of citizens who keep their eyes and ears open, reporting crime and suspicious activity.”

The chief gave a recent example that occurred earlier this year in Millbury in which citizens did contribute to the apprehension of suspects and to reducing crime.

“Our dispatch got a call from a citizen reporting damage being done at a recreational area in Millbury, and our responding officers were able to make arrests for the vandalism that was done,” Chief Hummer said.

Most meetings will include a presentation on a variety of crime prevention topics such as scams, personal safety and protection of property, and updates on any criminal activity occurring in the area.

Millbury’s Neighborhood Watch group will also be able to join members of the township’s three other Neighborhood Watch groups in a tour of the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Identification laboratory in Bowling Green on Saturday, Oct. 6.

At the organizational meeting, members will decide the time and date for the second meeting of the group. Another integral part of an organizational meeting is to identify persons who are interested in playing key leadership roles in the group. It will be emphasized at the meeting thatthe police department is there to get the group started and to provide support along the way.

“Neighborhood Watch members make most decisions on what they are going to do. We are there primarily to provide guidance and to make sure the groups stays on course,” Chief Hummer said.

Property thefts from vehicles continue to rise in the area An increase in thefts from vehicles is being reported in northern Wood County, and Lake Township police are urging area residents to take the necessary steps to protect themselves and their property.

Ron Craig, Lake Township Police Department’s crime prevention officer and community policing officer, said most thefts from vehicles are preventable.

Keeping vehicles locked is imperative in preventing such thefts, Officer Craig said, noting vehicles involved in the recent thefts in Troy, Freedom and Webster townships were left unlocked.

“One of the simplest things a vehicle owner can do is to remove all valuables from inside. If someone is going from vehicle to vehicle looking for something easy to take, they are looking inside for something,” he said.

“Even something like loose change is enough for them to make entry into a vehicle.”

It is worth the time to take all valuables inside the residence when drivers arrive home, even during daylight hours. If that is not possible, the next best thing to do is put the items in a locked trunk where they cannot be seen.

“A lot of people are now driving SUVs, which don’t have trunks. For those drivers, it is even more important to take items inside the residence.

The items should at least be put in the back of the vehicle and covered up,” Officer Craig said.

Most thieves looking for something quick to steal will not normally break a vehicle window, which will make noise that will draw unwanted attention. It does occur from time to time, however, he said.

“Having an alarm system on a vehicle is very helpful, but it does no good if it’s not turned on. Most vehicles must be locked for the system to be armed,” he added.

“

Even something like loose change is enough for them...

Village could update zoning code A planning meeting to discuss proposed changes to the Village of Walbridge zoning code is scheduled for Sept. 18 at 6:30 p.m. in the village council committee room at the administration building, 705 N. Main St. Mayor Ed Kolanko said this will be the third meeting to discuss the changes and he expects a few more to be held before they are brought to council for approval.

“Our village administrator Jim Bishop and members of council have been working on getting the language updated to what is allowable and what is not allowable and making it more current,” he said, adding some areas of the code haven’t been changed for decades. “I would suspect it will be brought before the full council be-

fore the end of the year for a first reading.”

Definitions covering domestic, farm and exotic animals are included in the proposals as are height limits of four feet for portable pools. The pools can be used between May and September and dismantled and stored between October and April.

Ohio Issue 1

Bar association, ACLU are on opposing sides Two organizations have recently come out on opposing sides of State Issue 1 that will be on the Nov. 6 ballot and, if passed, amend the Ohio Constitution to reduce prison sentences for certain drug-related convictions.

It would also require the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction to grant an inmate with sentence credits of 0.5 days for each day that the person participated in rehabilitative, work, or educational programs. The ballot initiative would require that state funds saved due to a reduction of inmates, resulting from the initiativeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s implementation, be spent on substance abuse treatment programs, crime victim programs and probation programs.

At the Ohio Judicial Conferenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual meeting last week, Ohio State Bar Association President Robin Weaver announced the OSBA stands with Ohio judges and other organizations opposing the issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We firmly believe that treatment and rehabilitation are the right strategies for curbing Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opiate crisis and have seen them working in drug courts around the state. However, when you categorically strip our judges of their discretion and take away an important tool â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the threat of prison time â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you significantly lower the chances that they will get sober, enroll in and complete a drug treatment program,â&#x20AC;?

Weaver said.

The American Civil Liberties Union is

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

...by removing accountability for defendants and shifting the cost burden to local governments, this proposal will set Ohio back...

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

By Press Staff Writer

urging voters to support the issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For decades the Ohio General Assembly has refused to acknowledge our over-crowded prisons, has repeatedly increased and enhanced sentences for drug use and possession, and has perpetuated the failed â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;War on Drugsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in a disastrous way. Ohio voters now have the opportunity to reform our broken criminal justice system by supporting Issue 1,â&#x20AC;? said Gary Daniels, chief lobbyist for the ACLU of Ohio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At its core, the initiative will improve community health, reduce our prison populations, and reinvest in communities.â&#x20AC;?

The ballot initiative includes language that would prevent re-imprisonment of those formerly incarcerated when their only infraction is a probation violation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People who miss curfew or an appointment with their probation officer

should not be sent to prison,â&#x20AC;? said Jocelyn Rosnick, policy director for the ACLU of Ohio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ohio has a bad habit of relying on mass incarceration to attempt to solve every issue in our society, and Issue 1 will divert thousands of people back into community-based programs where they belong.

People who miss an appointment should get a second chance. Ohioans struggling with addiction deserve treatment opportunities, not incarceration.â&#x20AC;?

Weaver said a lack of accountability for defendants would be costly for local governments.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Make no mistake, by removing accountability for defendants and shifting the cost burden to local governments, this proposal will set Ohio back, and because it would be written into the Ohio Constitution, it will take years and significant resources to fix. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We understand and share the sense of urgency of Issue 1 proponents, but our time would be better spent working together through the legislative process to expand and promote the use of drug courts and treatment in lieu of conviction,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Jerusalem Twp. grant will upgrade fire equipment â&#x20AC;&#x153;The radios weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re operating off of now were bought from a Homeland Security Grant about 12 years ago. But they were purchased when Lucas County switched over its radio system. So weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re operating on radios that no longer have manufactured parts or repairs or replacement. There are stock piles of parts. But as the years passed, there are fewer and fewer parts. The bigger municipalities that are operating off this radio system are gobbling up these parts.

So theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be harder and harder to find,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Lead agency The Sylvania Township Fire Department will receive the funds through multiple grants as a part of the AFG program. The township is the lead agency for the Regional Grant award. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very excited about receiving these FEMA grants,â&#x20AC;? said Sylvania

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to start with our line officers who communicate and carry the portable radios all the time.

Township Fire Chief Mike Ramm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Operations and Safety grant will assist us in purchasing new SCBA (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus) for our firefighters.

Our current SCBA are 15 years old and have reached the end of their useful life. We are also excited to be the lead agency for the Regional Grant award, which will assist us

and several area departments in upgrading and replacing mobile and portable radios, which have also reached the end of their service life and parts are no longer being made. Most Toledo area departments rely on each other for assistance during structure fires and other major emergencies, and assuring we have radios with the ability to talk to all neighboring departments in an emergency is critical. This grant money will also help us reduce the effect on our fire department budget for these needed purchases, as we work very hard to be fiscally responsible with our tax payersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dollars.â&#x20AC;?

Besides Jerusalem and Sylvania townships, other area fire departments to receive funding include: â&#x20AC;˘Toledo Fire & Rescue Department â&#x20AC;˘Springfield Township Fire Department â&#x20AC;˘Richfield Township Fire Department â&#x20AC;˘Village of Whitehouse

Fire Department â&#x20AC;˘Rossford Fire Department â&#x20AC;˘Maumee Fire Department Protecting families â&#x20AC;&#x153;Firefighters and first-responders work every day to protect our families,â&#x20AC;? said U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown, who announced the grant award last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We must support our first-responder organizations so that communities have the resources to shield families and homes from fire hazards.â&#x20AC;?

The AFG Program supports fire departments across the country to ensure the safety of both first-responders and the public. The program provides funds for supplemental training, upgrades to protective equipment, facility modifications, and other supplies that protect firefighters and first-responders in moments of crisis. Grants are awarded to fire department-based and non-affiliated EMS organizations that best address the priorities of the AFG Program.

Inspirational Message of the Week: Altering Destiny Will things be different after we die? There is a natural tendency to think that there will be a radical transformation after death, that we will be unburdened by our bodies and that our souls will fly off to heaven and be united with God. But then shouldn’t we prepare our souls now to be with God? The truth is that God won’t be changing, and probably neither will we. Our souls and the virtues and appetites we cultivate become more or less permanent parts of who we are. If you have cultivated a spirit of love and compassion in your life, and live in the presence of God, you can certainly expect more of this in the hereafter, but if you have cultivated a spirit of anger and hatred, or any of the other

Northwood

vices, these have become a part of your soul. Fortunately, these things can be changed, but only with steadfast hard work and a conscious decision to alter our characters. We can change our destiny, but only if we do the hard work necessary to change our characters. If you aren’t living in the presence of God now, what makes you think you’ll be in his presence in the hereafter? Live now as you would for eternity. “The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray.Above all, love each other because love covers over a multitude of sins.” —1 Peter 4:7-8 NIV

Where the rich are “hiding” their wealth in trillions

By Chuck Collins The rich are hiding trillions in wealth.

You’ve probably heard about their offshore bank accounts, shell corporations, and fancy trusts. But this wealth isn’t all sitting in the Cayman Islands or Panama. Much of it’s hiding in plain view; maybe even in your town.

America’s big cities are increasingly dotted with luxury skyscrapers and mansions.

These multi-million dollar condos are wealth storage lockers, with the ownership often obscured by shell companies.

In Boston, where I live, there’s a luxury building boom. According to a study I just co-authored, out of 1,805 luxury units — with an average price of over $3 million — more than two-thirds are owned by people who don’t live here. One-third are owned by shell companies and trusts that mask their ownership. And of these units, 40 percent are limited liability companies (LLCs) organized in Delaware.

Delaware? Criminals worldwide set up their shell companies in Delaware, the pre-

Guest Editorial miere secrecy jurisdiction in the United States — where they don’t have to disclose the real owners. As a result, human traffickers, drug smugglers and tax evaders enjoy the anonymous cover of Delaware companies - which use illicit funds to purchase real estate in North America to launder ill-gotten money.

In New York City, dozens of luxury towers have been connected to global money laundering. In Vancouver, Chinese investors disrupted the city’s housing market so badly that the province of British Columbia established a foreign investor tax and a tax on vacant properties.

With European countries now insisting on more transparency, illicit cash is now cas-

cading into the United States. In fact, the U.S. is now the world’s second-biggest tax haven and secrecy jurisdiction, after Switzerland.

The U.S. Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network has increased scrutiny of real estate in Miami, New York, and parts of California, Texas, and Hawaii.

But that makes the rest of the country more attractive for secret cash. In a small Vermont town, I met a Russian investor who lives in Dubai. He’s buying thousands of acres of Green Mountain farmland.

Our communities are being fundamentally transformed by land grabs and luxury building booms. These drive up the cost of land in central neighborhoods, with ripple impacts throughout a community. And this worsens the already grotesque inequalities of wealth and opportunity. Our communities should defend themselves.

Property ownership should have to pass the “fishing license” or “library card” test. In most communities, to get a library card or a fishing license, you need to prove who you are and where you actually live. In Boston, they’re

pretty strict — you need to show a utility bill with your name on it. Cities should require the same for real estate purchases.

Bi-partisan legislation from Senators Marco Rubio and Sheldon Whitehouse would require real estate owners to be disclosed when buyers use shell corporations and pay millions in cash. That would be a welcome development.

Better still, cities should tax luxury real estate transactions on properties selling for over $2 million to fund local services. Such a tax in San Francisco generated $44 million last year that’s been used to fund free community college and help the city’s neglected trees.

Communities could discourage high-end vacant properties by taxing buildings that sit empty for more than six months a year.

Vancouver has created incentives to house people, not wealth. We need to defend our communities for the people who live in them, not just store their wealth there.

Time to assess: What are you feeding your mind?

A farmer feeds his crops fertilizer which helps his plants grow. It would be a disaster for the farmer to spread any toxic substance which would cause his crops to suffer.

Your mind functions in a similar fashion. When it’s fertilized with positive, can-do thoughts, your mind is capable of awesome achievements. Conversely, when poisoned by negative thoughts, your mind impedes your progress.

There is a direct connection between your thoughts and the results you achieve. Your positive attitude is the fertilizer which feeds your accomplishments. Therefore, if you are not reaching your desired objectives, make an assessment of exactly what you are feeding your mind. Positive thoughts are a high potency diet for your mind.

Being solution oriented is part of a positive attitude. You have to deal with problems, but every problem has a solution. Once a problem has been identified, devote all of your effort to finding a solution. Any time spent making on excuses is wasted. Don’t think, or act like a victim. Doing so taints your attitude, attracting the very outcomes you want to avoid.

Golden Advice

by Bryan Golden Curiosity is great food for your mind. It motivates you to ask questions and search for answers. Curiosity keeps you searching for a better way. It gets your brain engaged in appreciating all of the wonders in the world along with all of the blessings in your life. Don’t become jaded. Instead, maintain a childlike curiosity.

Engaging in new activities prevents you from getting stuck in a mental rut. Your brain thrives on challenges, which result in growth and learning. Just like your muscles, your brain requires exercise to stay in peak condition. Pushing your mind in new directions is a healthy endeavor.

Continually learning new things feeds your mind. Education should be a lifetime pursuit. Make a commitment to learn something new each week. In addition to formal

schooling, there are numerous learning opportunities available to you. Reading, watching online tutorials, or taking online classes, are just a few of the options available to you.

Connecting with other positive, cando people is wonderful food for your mind.

Involvement with these types of people creates a powerful, synergistic energy which benefits all who participate. In this group, each person motivates and inspires the others.

Helping others solve problems also helps you. Your mind is fed with new ideas, approaches, and perspectives. You gain invaluable insight which assists in solving your own problems. You become more skilled at solving problems by solving problems. It doesn’t matter if the problems are yours or someone else’s.

Positive self-talk is more great food for your mind. It reinforces all of the other nutrients you are providing. This self-talk consists of all of the things you can do and will do. You tell yourself that you will overcome whatever obstacles you encounter. Your positive selftalk displaces any negative thoughts or selfdoubts which sometime creep into your brain.

Avoid poisoning your mind with negative influences. These toxins create a mindset

Tools for School serves 408 Ottawa Co. students To the editor: Every year, since 2002, the Salvation Army-Port Clinton Service Unit has offered a school supply assistance program (Tools for School) in August.

This year, the program served 408 Ottawa County students with school supplies and a new backpack. Since this program was funded by donations, we owe its success to local residents, businesses and organizations who donated funds such as Firelands Presbyterian Church, Kroger, Joe Stys, Marblehead Knights of Columbus, La Pointe Church, Catawba Moorings, United Way, St. John Lutheran – Port Clinton, Debbie Hymore-Tester-CG Salon, Trinity Lutheran – Elmore, St. John Church – Williston, Girl Scout Troop #1022, Davis Bessie, St. Joseph Church of Marblehead, Nazarene Church and Ottawa County Republican Women’s Club, along with

anonymous community contributors.

Thank you for all who have donated funds, supplies and volunteer hours to this program. We could not continue to help our children without your support.

For further questions, please call our office at 419-732-2769.

Heritage unlearned To the editor: I read the recent letter to your paper by Douglas Boos. I agree that we as a nation most certainly should educate ourselves about our nation’s heritage.

President John F. Kennedy said it best when he said: “Ask not what your country can do for you but, what you can do for

your county.”

The ignorance so many Americans share about our veterans and heritage is disgraceful.

Wildcat harriers are running to create awareness

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Under head coach Mike Moreno, the Woodmore girls cross country team hopes to get a couple runners back to the regional or state meet.

However, the girls have another purpose this fall — they want use meets to create awareness for social and health causes.

“One day we were on a run and we just decided that it would be cool to do something more than just run — like, run for something,” cross country runner Olivia Thatcher said. “So, we thought we should come up with different causes for people we know, like family, friends, and cousins, and try to make it more meaningful so we know we have something more to run for. It motivates us.”

Teammate Sydney Wank added, “The causes are different things like Cystic Fibrosis, cancers, and autism, and some of these things mean a lot because they are teammates, parents, friends, and neighbors, and we just want them to know that we are not just out here running. We are running for a cause. One of our coaches has two kids who live with autism and that means a lot to us, and one of our friends, Paul Koenig — his mom died of breast cancer.”

On September 15 at the Lakota Myron Cline Invitation, the girls ran for Alzheimer’s disease and on Sept.

18 at the Northern Buckeye Conference Invitational it will be child abuse awareness. On September 22 at the Fremont St. Joseph Invitational, it will be “Drug Free & Proud.”

“The girls came up to me one summer and said, ‘We have this idea. Instead of doing funny themes for our events, we want to do something more serious.’ So, they came up with the idea. They picked the causes,” said assistant coach Alexis Klassen, who is overseeing this aspect of the team’s season.

“I know they have some friends, relatives and neighbors who have some pretty serious conditions, so they wanted to dedicate their runs,” Klassen continued.

“Every meet has been a different cause, so we did a run for people who are affected

by Down syndrome. We did one for people affected by cancer and Cystic Fibrosis.

My track coach in high school was on an organ donor team, so he would fly and retrieve organs, so we did one for organ donors.”

The girls wear matching support or awareness tattoos, coordinate their hair ribbons and accessories with the cause color, and most importantly, compose an informational sheet on their cause that they send out to all athletes and parents involved in the school’s program.

“We are not raising money, just awareness, and then also trying to tell anyone affected by these conditions that we’re running strong for you — stay moti-

cluding children in our own community.

Cystic Fibrosis is a progressive, genetic disease that causes persistent lung infections and limits the ability to breathe over time.

“Former Woodmore students Carson and Kennedy Slates are affected by this disease but persevere and show us all that it is possible to be active through all of the sports and activities they are in.”

On September 8 at the Tiffin Carnival, it was for those affected by Parkinson’s disease.

“This is a condition that affects over 200,000 people in the US alone per year.

It is a disorder of the central nervous system that affects movement, often including tremors. Some symptoms include slow movement, stiffness, and loss of balance,” Olivia Thatcher wrote.

“We know everyone isn’t fortunate enough to be able to run every weekend like we are. Simple everyday things like walking can be very difficult with anyone diagnosed with Parkinson’s. Our team will never take for granted how lucky we are to run every chance we get. So many people who have been diagnosed with this disease would give anything to be able to do our everyday activities like running and walking.”

Woodmore runners Julia Cable, Greta Bauder, Ava Beam, Sydney Wank, Maddie Thatcher, and Olivia Thatcher.

He is going to come out and do a practice with us and we are going to let him be an honorary team member. And, we have the childhood cancer organization is going to be sending us stuff that we are going to be handing out at that meet on September 29th.”

Klassen said that if foundations want to contact them and become part of their activities, or send materials to hand out at events, they are welcome.

In addition, the team coordinates with the school’s National Honor Society to further their movement by handing out free water, informational sheets, awareness support tattoos, and several other items to the spectators at the meets. Each girl had to do her share of research so information could be provided to the public.

“Maddie (Thatcher) is in the National Honor Society, so she’s incorporated this into one of their movements for this year.

So, they are partnering together and involving other students and the student body to try to make it into more of a movement,” Klassen said.

Maddie Thatcher said, “We’re just trying to spread awareness throughout the community. My two cousins have

autism, so that means a lot in supporting them.”

Running for Pam Koenig On August 18 at a meet in Hebron, Ohio, the girls named their cause “Support Comes in Many Colors,” running for those who are affected by cancer.

“Today, we are wearing tattoos with multiple colored ribbons, multi-colored scrunchies and tie dye ribbons to show our support for those who are affected by cancer of any kind. Cancer is a disease that affects millions of people worldwide,” Olivia Thatcher wrote on her informational sheet handed out to people at the events. “In 2018, 1,735,350 cases of cancer will be diagnosed in the U.S. alone (and) 609,640 people will die from this terrible disease. All together, 38.4 percent of men and women will be diagnosed with a type of cancer in their lifetime.

“Woodmore cross country runs today for all those affected by cancer, including those most dear to our hearts, the parents of our teammates. Today we especially dedicate our run to Pam Koenig, who we lost to breast cancer in 2011.”

At the Columbus Grove Invitational, their cause was Cystic Fibrosis.

“Today we are wearing purple tattoos to show our support for those affected

by Cystic Fibrosis,” wrote Julia Cable.

“Cystic Fibrosis is a condition that affects more than 70,000 people worldwide in-

Mismatched socks On August 25 at Seneca East High School in Attica, they ran for Down syndrome, calling their efforts “More than special.” People were encouraged to wear bright, colorful, and mismatched socks.

“Today we are wearing yellow and blue tattoos and ribbons to show our support for those affected by Down syndrome.

Down syndrome is a condition that affects 6,000 babies born in the United States each year. In 2008, researchers estimated about 250,700 children, teenagers, and adults were living in the United States with Down syndrome,” wrote Ava Beam.

During an NBC Jamboree on August 28 at Elmwood High School, the awareness was for organ donors.

“Today we are wearing green ribbons in our hair and green tattoos to show our support for organ donors,” wrote Maddie Thatcher. “On average, 20 people die every day waiting for an organ transplant. One organ donor can save up to eight of those lives. Forty-five percent of Americans are currently registered organ donors.”

On September 29 at the Old Fort Invitational, the cause will be childhood cancer. After that causes will be Support Our Troops (Fostoria Invitational, Oct. 6), Acceptance (NBC Championships, Mary Jane Thurston Park, Oct. 13), Autism Awareness (District Meet, Galion, Oct. 20), Anti-Bullying (Regional Meet, Tiffin, Oct. 27) and Heart Health (State Meet, Hebron, Nov. 3).

Encouraging 10 million steps The Ohio Department of Agingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s STEADY U Ohio initiative is celebrating the month of September as Falls Prevention Awareness Month and inviting all Ohioans to help them take â&#x20AC;&#x153;10 Million Steps to Prevent Fallsâ&#x20AC;? to raise awareness of the prevalence of older adult falls and the simple things we can all do to remove hazards and reduce risk.

One in three Ohioans over age 60 will fall this year, and for many of them, that fall could lead to a life-changing injury or even death. A single fall can change the life not only of the person who falls, but also their family members, friends and neighbors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Older adult falls are a serious problem in Ohio, affecting one in three older Ohioans every year, but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a little fun helping people understand that falls are not a normal part of aging and most falls can be prevented,â&#x20AC;? said Beverley Laubert, director of the department. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;10 Million Stepsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is our challenge to Ohioans and our communities, businesses and other groups to be part of the effort that ends the epidemic of older adult falls.â&#x20AC;?

The department created â&#x20AC;&#x153;10 Million Steps to Prevent Fallsâ&#x20AC;? because engaging in regular physical activity, such as walking 15-30 minutes each day, is one of the most basic things you and your loved ones can do to maintain muscle strength and flexibility, increase endurance and reduce your risk of falling.

Any time in September, take a one-mile walk and post a selfie to social media using the hashtags #PreventFalls and #10MStepsOH. Be sure to set your posts to â&#x20AC;&#x153;public.â&#x20AC;?

Other ways older Ohioans can prevent falls: â&#x20AC;˘ Engage in 15-30 minutes of simple exercise like walking or swimming every day. â&#x20AC;˘ Talk to your doctor about falls and your risk at every visit; ask for an assessment. â&#x20AC;˘ Review your medications with your doctor or pharmacist for combinations that may increase your risk. â&#x20AC;˘ Get your hearing and vision checked at least annually. â&#x20AC;˘ Stay hydrated and eat a balanced diet. â&#x20AC;˘ Examine your home for common slipping and tripping hazards and remove them.

Visit www.steadyu.ohio.gov for more falls prevention tips and resources. While there, you can take an online falls risk assessment and learn about community-based falls interventions available around the state.

Choosing best retirement strategy for you Beyond the Money

by Adam Cufr Car buyers use them, and so do people shopping for appliances.

The buyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guide can be an extremely valuable resource for the person who wishes to compare and contrast the options available to them. But what about retirement plans? Is it possible to test drive various options for converting oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nest egg into an income for life? While Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not aware of such a thing for aspiring retirees, perhaps we can touch on some of the options available, to at least narrow down your choices based on a few key attributes.

So, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your very-abbreviated Retirement Success Buyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Guide: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have really solid guaranteed income available through pensions and Social Security and arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t concerned about the stock marketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ups-anddowns.â&#x20AC;?

Depending on how much income youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to draw from your investment accounts each year, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely a candidate for an almost all-stock portfolio plan.

Because most lifestyle costs can be covered by existing income sources, your remaining nest egg can fluctuate in the market while enjoying the long-term growth potential available through stocks. If the market drops considerably, your life (and lifestyle) isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t affected much, so you can ride out the dips until sunnier days. If some income is desired from â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or required from (thanks to IRSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Required Minimum Distributions past age 70) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; your investments, you may still weight heavily in stocks but use a high percentage of blue chip dividend-paying stocks to create the income you need, while providing some added sleep at night knowing youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re investing in larger, more stable companies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a lot in company pensions, so we need our investments to provide us with consistent income. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve long invested in the market, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re concerned that a big market decline will be too costly at this stage in our life, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a bit nervous about taking a lot of risk.â&#x20AC;?

With a willingness to invest but a need for sleep-filled nights, a guaranteed/risk-based hybrid plan may suit you nicely. In this plan, essential retirement income needs are met through a combination of guaranteed income annuities that provide a known level of income for a known period of time, sometimes for life, while remaining nest egg funds are invested in the markets, via a combination of stocks and bonds. Using this strategy, long-term growth can be achieved through the risk-based investments while income unknowns are eliminated

Consider personal preferences and life experiences when planning for retirement. through the use of pension-like annuity income. The insurance company that provides the annuity income can offer a rate of income thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s higher than most folks can accomplish on their own because of risk-sharing and longevity credits, which allows a retiree to invest a bit more aggressively in their risk-based accounts, providing the opportunity for even more long-term growth. This strategy is one that you could call a â&#x20AC;&#x153;his-and-hersâ&#x20AC;? plan because each spouse can get what they want from the plan; generally, one spouse is comfortable with some risk, while the other is not. Opposites attract! â&#x20AC;&#x153;The market is a terrifying place for us. We lost a ton in 2008 in our 401(k)s, and our parents always taught us to never lose money. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to retire, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even try to convince us to invest in the stock market.â&#x20AC;?

Fair enough.

Your experience is uniquely yours. A plan for you to consider is a principal protection strategy; one that uses a combination of guaranteed annuities (often a different type than used in the example above), bank CDs, and cash. For this plan, most of the income generated will be from a return OF your money rather than a return ON your money. In other words, in exchange for a risk-free retirement, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll experience fairly low rates of interest, requiring you to live off of both interest and principal. While not an impossible task,

this requires a bit more planning and frugality to achieve a lifetime of income.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll look like the smartest person in the room when the markets decline and your nest egg didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, but you may wonder if you shouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve dipped at least a toe in the market waters when everyone around you seems to be celebrating their big wins when markets inevitable rise.

Ultimately, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the buyer. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your money that you likely worked decades to accumulate. Choosing the best plan for you is a very personal decision.

Hopefully this Retirement Plan Buyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Guide offers some indication of the direction thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best for you. Many nuances exist in all planning options, but personal preference and life experience should steer the conversation so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re feeling comfortable with the chosen approach.

Buying a shiny new car may be more fun, but putting the wrong retirement plan in place can cause you endless sleepless nights and many, many thousands of dollars.

Attorney General DeWine warns of grandparent scams Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine is warning families to beware of the “grandparent scam,” which has been reported by dozens of Ohioans in recent weeks.

The scam begins when a grandparent receives a call claiming the person’s grandchild is in trouble and in urgent need of money. The caller may claim the grandchild was in a car accident, caught with drugs, or put in jail, for example.

The grandparent is asked to send money immediately, supposedly to pay a fine, attorney’s fees, or other costs.

“These con artists prey on a grandparent’s worst fears,” Attorney General DeWine said.

“They claim the person’s grandchild has been in an accident or is in serious trouble, but it’s all a lie. We want people to be aware of the scam and to talk to their family about it.”

Many people who report the scam haven’t lost any money, but among those who have, the average reported loss is over $6,000 this year.

Victims commonly are told to pay using gift cards (by purchasing the cards

and then reading the card numbers over the phone) or by wire transfer or cash. In some cases, con artists ask victims to tuck cash into pages of a magazine and then send the magazine. With these methods of payment, it is difficult to trace or recover the money once it’s been sent.

Grandparents who send money once likely will receive additional calls requesting more money.

Scam artists also may encourage grandparents not to talk to other family members about the situation, making the scam harder to detect.

The elderly — beware of scammers

Tips to avoid the grandparent scam include: • Communicate with your family members. Talk to your family about scams and discuss how you would communicate during a true emergency. If you receive a call from a grandchild or another family member who claims to be in trouble, contact someone else (such as the grandchild’s parents) to determine if the person truly needs your help, even if you’ve been instructed not to contact anyone else. When in doubt, ask questions

Locally-owned businesses are more likely to utilize local advertising, banks, insurance companies, and other local professional services.

comfort

only your real family members would know how to answer, such as the last time you saw each other.

• Limit the amount of information you share online. Don’t post upcoming travel plans or detailed personal information online, and encourage your family members to take similar precautions.

Check your account privacy settings and limit who can view your information. Be aware that scammers may use information posted on social media or publicly available online to learn more about their targets and to make their ploys seem believable.

• Be wary of unusual payment requests. If a caller demands that you pay over the phone using a gift card, pay via wire transfer, or pay by mailing cash, be skeptical. These are preferred payment methods for scammers because it is difficult to trace or recover the payment once it is provided.

Ohioans who suspect a scam should contact the Ohio Attorney General’s Office at 800-282-0515 or www.OhioProtects. org.

Birders: change strategies for observing fall migration

By Art Weber Special to The Press Birders know something the calendar doesn’t.

Fall comes early.

At least in the world of birds. Fall migration, the massive movement of birds from north to south, has its roots in July, and each species travels in its own time.

Shorebirds are the earliest to head south, though some species will likely linger into November. By late summer, blackbirds, for example, were already flocking and adult male ruby-throated hummingbirds were getting more and more scarce.

Don’t take those hummingbird feeders down yet, though. And, if you want the chance to see one of the rare hummingbirds that can show up here in November or even December, keep those feeders cleaned and refilled regularly until then.

As local birding expert Greg Links noted, the fall is both a wonderful and bittersweet time.

“Fall migration is always a bittersweet pill to swallow,” Greg said. “It’s great having the influx of diversity into our area but, of course, it also means winter is coming faster than maybe we’d like.

“Many shorebirds have been southbound since the Fourth of July or so, and even a few songbirds like yellow warblers, Baltimore and orchard orioles have been on the move since July.”

For those interested in viewing shorebirds. Greg recommends a visit to Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge and Howard Marsh Metropark, which opened this spring.

“Ottawa and Howard will be great for shorebirds this fall,” he said. “Kudos to the staffs at both those marshes for managing for them.”

Pickerel Creek Wildlife Area near Fremont is also a nice hot spot, he said.

Every year, warblers and other neotropical migrants are coming through in large numbers from more northerly nesting

grounds.

“They’ll peak just after Labor Day,” Greg said. “September is second only to the month of May in terms of numbers of species found in Northwest Ohio. Songbirds, shorebirds, raptors and some ducks are all headed for better weather and finding a hundred species or more on a September day isn’t difficult.”

Birders need to change their strategy for observing fall migration.

“Finding fall migrants is a different proposition than finding spring migrants,” Greg said. “While spring migrants are often tied to geographical features like the Lake Erie shoreline, fall migrants tend to be spread out over the entire area. That means you’re just as likely to have productive birding days in your neighborhood woodlot.”

Would-be birders also need to be aware that some of the birds will have done a changeover in wardrobe.

“If you’re looking for warblers, many of them won’t look like they did in May,” Greg said. “Species like blackpoll warbler and chestnut-sided warblers are completely different and you’ll need to learn those plumages.

“Many, however, are just dull versions of their spring attire, and you’ll be able to identify most – adults anyway – without too much imagination.”

Different, too, is the sound. Fall migration is quieter than spring.

“Another thing to keep in mind is that most fall migrants do not sing, which can make finding them a bit more challenging,” Greg said. “They tend to rove through woods and wooded edges in mixed feeding flocks and you can often detect them by hearing their high pitched ‘zeeps’ and ‘seets.’”

Greg recommends looking for fall warblers in Oak Openings Metropark, especially along Oak Openings Parkway between the White Oak Picnic Area and Reed Road, and along the Swan Creek corridor where it crosses Reed Road.

“Pearson Metropark can be productive,” Greg said. “Magee Marsh is usually

A black-necked stilt, a large strikingly attractive long-legged wading bird, scours the shallows at the new Howard Marsh Metropark.

The species, a rarity in Ohio, successfully nested this year in Howard Marsh and is expected to remain in our area into September.

(Art Weber photo courtesy of Metroparks Toledo). interesting and Maumee Bay State Park is a much better fall warbler watching locale than in the spring.

“Howard Marsh has been a huge success with both birds and birders so far. Though black-necked stilts have been expanding their range in recent years, they are still a genuine rarity in Ohio and it is likely at least three pairs nested at Howard this summer, which is fantastic news. It also means that these birds will likely return next spring.

“Wilson’s phalarope was also confirmed breeding at Howard, a species that has had very few nesting attempts in Northwest Ohio ever. Uncommon summering ducks also took advantage of the Metropark - both lesser and greater scaup, redheads and even a canvasback spent the summer there. There is no question that Howard Marsh Metropark has already established itself as a prime destination for birders from both near and far.”

Raptors – birds of prey – often put on quite a fall show in our region.

“If raptors are your thing, then fall is

your season,” Greg said.

One of the best places to view their migration is Lake Erie Metropark in southern Wayne County Michigan, just 45 minutes north of Toledo off I-75.

“It’s the best hawk-watching site in the interior of North America. In September, hundreds of thousands of broad-winged hawks pass over the Detroit River and continue their journey to the southwest.

Sometimes 50,000 or more can be seen in a single day there.

“Later in October, hawk diversity increases and the rarer Golden Eagles and northern goshawks are regular.”

Closer to home, Greg recommends raptor-watching anywhere in the Oak Openings with a “big sky” and also along the Maumee River in Perrysburg and Maumee.

For more information check the websites for such organizations, including the Black Swamp Bird Observatory, the Toledo Naturalists Association and Metroparks Toledo.

Through tragedy, foundation hopes to spread “Heartfulness”

By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com The founders of the Do Something Amazing Foundation are hoping to raise money to help give back to the community that has helped support them through immense personal tragedy.

Miken Oliver, and the other two founders, Alexandra Bernath and Jessica Kersey, all have lost loved ones due to car accidents.

Oliver and Bernath lost both of their parents and sister to a fatal car crash. On March 26, 2017, Whitney Meinke, 33, of Curtice, was killed along with her parents Robin Shellhammer, 60, and Barbara Shellhammer, 56, of Oregon, when Alejandro RamirezJaramillo, 26, of Asheboro, North Carolina, ran a stop sign in Jerusalem Township and struck their vehicle.

In August, 2017, Ramirez-Jaramillo, pleaded guilty to three counts of aggravated vehicular homicide and one count of failure to stop after an accident. He was sentenced 21 years in prison.

Meinke was a third-grade teacher at RC Waters Elementary School, in the Benton-

Carroll-Salem School district. Barbara Shellhammer was the director of Nourish Early Learning, in Oregon. Robin was an engineer. Oliver is now the director of Nourish.

Kersey, of Oregon, lost her husband Ryan, on March 26, 2018, in an automobile when he struck the back of a semi-truck in Erie Township Michigan. The accident occurred one year to the day of the Meinke and Shellhammer tragedy.

Ryan was a 2004 St. Francis de Sales High School graduate. He played both football and hockey. He won a state title in football in 2001 and a National Championship hockey title for the Toledo Ice Diggers in 2003. Jessica is the owner of Mind Over Core Nutrition, in Oregon.

“We all lost people in tragic accidents, but we want to recognize the people who have been there for us,” Oliver said. “The money we are trying to raise will go towards scholarships for engineering, education and athletics.”

The group is holding the second Annual Amaze Race 5K Run/Walk Sept. 21-23.

Although the group held a race in 2017 to raise funds for Meinke’s two children, The Do Something Amazing Foundation is holding its

inaugural weekend and race.

“This is for the whole weekend,” Oliver said. “We are hoping to do this every year. Our goal is to create the website and foundation to help people in the community.”

On Friday, the group will hold a gratitude dinner for volunteers. On Saturday, they will host a reception and dance party at Maumee Bay State Park from 6 pm to 11 pm. Tickets are $75 and include cocktail and other foods, drinks, dancing and a silent auction as well.

On Sunday, the 5 K Race/Walk and a kids’ 1 K Race/Walk will be held at the park. Participants are asked to meet at the lodge. The 1K will begin at 8:30 am. The 5 K will begin at 9 am. Registration is $15 for kids, $25 for adults.

“We believe in Heartfulness,” Oliver said. “We define Heartfulness as knowing

and understanding your character, values and strengths and intentionally using those for the good of the community.”

Oliver said they are hoping to create curriculums, camps, classes and forums centered on heartfulness and kindness for all age levels, from early childhood, adolescents to adults.

“We also want to express gratitude to those who help in our community,” she said. “We will recognize three nominated people in our community, per year, that epitomize the idea of Heartfulness and truly do something amazing.”

Registration for all of the events can be completed at https://www.dosomethingamazingfoundation.org. Please click on “Inaugural Weekend” to register. For those unable to make the race, donations may also be made on the website.

Information can also be found of the group’s Facebook Page, Do Something Amazing Foundation.

Silvestre family reunion Several members gathered for the 65th annual Silvestre Family Reunion and Potluck, which took place at the Christ Dunberger American Legion Post #537 on Saturday, Sept. 1. The reunion began with the families of Italian immigrant sisters Rosaria and Rosa Silvestre, and continues today with Mary Siebenaller (neé Donofrio), daughter of Rosa and Vincenzo Donofrio, and the eldest living relative at the age of 95, and four generations of Silvestre descendants, hailing from as close as just down the street from the Legion Post to Pennsylvania, gathered under one roof to enjoy the company of family – and of course, share an Italian feast.

Health Dept. accepting clients for tobacco cessation Sandusky County Health Department has begun accepting clients for its Community Cessation Initiative (CCI). The program is designed to connect individuals who wish to quit smoking or using other tobacco products with local cessation services. The Health Department encourages community members who are ready to quit using tobacco to call 419-334-6366.

Through the CCI program, cessation services are billed through participants’ private health insurance and/or Medicaid.

If cessation services aren’t covered or the

participant is uninsured, the program will cover the cost of the counseling services at no expense to the participant.

Participants also will benefit from a unique feature of the program, relapse management. The Health Department’s CCI coordinator will follow up with participating clients to help them stay tobacco-free, encourage additional quit attempts and conveniently connect them with additional cessation services, if needed.

CCI is made possible through the Ohio Department of Health Bureau of Health Promotion grant funding, awarded to serve Huron, Erie, and Sandusky counties.

For more info, call 419-334-6366 or visit www.alwayschoosehealth.com

A band can bring excitement and more opĆ&#x;ons to your venue Booking a live band for a wedding or another special event can be a great idea. The atmosphere live musicians can provide is unmatched. Live musicians oÄŤer a level of excitement that may not be met by other musical opĆ&#x;ons. But some couples may ÄŽnd the prospect of booking live entertainment a bit challenging, especially if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never hired musicians for an event before. Here are some Ć&#x;ps to make the process go smoothly.

Call 419-836-2221 and speak with a sales rep about the best way to promote your bridal offerings!

â&#x20AC;˘ Get recommendaĆ&#x;ons. Just like you might before booking other vendors, seek advice from friends or family members who have recently goĆŠen hitched or had live performers at their events. They may have wonderful things to say about parĆ&#x;cular bands or performers. Individuals also can consider a resource such as HireLiveMusicians.com, a global musician database that can help couples narrow down their opĆ&#x;ons. â&#x20AC;˘ Decide on when the musicians play. Live musicians can entertain guests throughout the ceremony and recepĆ&#x;on, but the longer musicians play, the more theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to cost. Work with musicians to develop a schedule that suits your budget. â&#x20AC;˘ Discuss the theme. Make sure musicians understand the type of atmosphere youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping to create. A band that customarily plays swing or big-band era songs may not ÄŽt in at weddings with more modern themes. â&#x20AC;˘ Understand the fees. Musicians may have fees related to their agents, cartage (extra given to musicians who carry large equipment), mileage costs, travel Ć&#x;me, lighĆ&#x;ng, and other factors that aÄŤect the overall price. Discuss these fees before signing any agreements. â&#x20AC;˘ Be sure the venue ÄŽts. Live musicians are great but not if the space is too small. Otherwise, the music can be too loud and overpowering, or the band will not have adequate space to set up. Consider these factors before making any decisions.
