Although the meeting is public, City Administrator Mike Beazley said the city wants to get input from stakeholders along Navarre Avenue – those who would be impacted the most by the projects under discussion. “Those are property owners in the immediate area. We have a mailing list and we have reached out to them,” he said. “We want them to know that these are the things we are looking at.” Long-term plans for the “Core of the Community” involve goals to develop mixed use zoning between Pickle Road and Navarre Avenue. “We’ll discuss the zoning overlay, some of the efforts underway to work with developers, and moving to a world past Kmart, which closed in February. We want to work with property owners to discuss some of the options available. We want to give an update at that time about where those discussions are and what our hopes are,” said Beazley.

Meeting set: Tax abatement for First Solar By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The Lake Township trustees have scheduled a special meeting for May 14 to discuss a tax incentive enterprise zone agreement for First Solar, Inc. The meeting will start at 6 p.m. and be held at the Lake Middle School Media Center, 28100 Lemoyne Rd. The company last month announced it planned to construct a 1-million-squarefoot facility to produce its advanced thin film photovoltaic module. Five hundred jobs are expected to be created. Wade Gottschalk, executive director of the Wood County Economic Development Commission, said a proposed enterprise zone agreement was provided Wednesday to the trustees. Mark Hummer, Lake Township administrator, said the proposed building site is

Farmer’s Market Last year, the Eastern Maumee Bay Area Chamber of Commerce helped develop the city’s first food truck and Farmer’s Market held along Navarre Avenue. “We want to do more of them this year,” said Beazley. “We want to get some input from the stakeholders on that, find out how many they think we should do.” The city also wants to continue discus-

at the southeast corner of State Rt. 795 and Tracy Road. Construction of a new $400 million solar module manufacturing facility in the township is expected to begin by mid-2018 and full production will start by late 2019,

First Solar said in its announcement. “We thought it would be nice to get together with the Lake school board since any agreement would involve them,” said Jeff Pettit, who chairs the board of trustees. First Solar’s flagship plant in Perrysburg Township has a manufacturing capacity of 600 megawatts and the proposed facility’s annual capacity will be 1.2 gigawatts. First Solar is the nation’s largest manufacturer of photovoltaic modules. The company will be producing what it calls its Series 6 thin film module at the new site. The expansion plan is contingent on confirmation of state and local incentive packages currently in negotiation, the company said. Mike Koralewski, First Solar’s Senior Vice President of Global Manufacturing, said the new facility would

Weather, birds cooperate — bring in record numbers By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com The Black Swamp Bird Observatory’s Biggest Week In American Birding festival typically draws 90,000 visitors annually from all 50 states, from 52 countries, and six continents bringing an economic impact of $40 million to the area. The publicity and economic impact is so strong that BSBO Executive Director Kim Kaufman found herself doing interviews with the Wall Street Journal and Cleveland representatives from National Public Radio last Monday. In addition, Kim and her husband Kenn are always being featured in worldwide birding publications, even contributing to them. This year, the festival ran from May 4-13 to coincide with spring songbird migration. Don’t be surprised, thanks to the cooperation of the birds and the weather if the numbers from this year’s festival are even bigger. How can we say there will be record numbers before the actual figures come out? Through observation, social media feedback and besides, the numbers have grown every year so far. Why not this year? Last year saw a cold May, long-sleeve weather, and this year it suddenly went from near-winter to near-summer like temperatures, just like that. “The warblers are actually a little late, but then we got this big push. It warmed up here real quick and it pushed a lot of birds up at one time. It’s been a great time,” said BSBO staff naturalist Ryan Jacobs. Author and birding expert Kenn Kaufman of Kaufman Field Guides wrote in his blog, “After a very slow migration up through April 30th, the birding has been outstanding locally in the week since, making for a great start to The Biggest Week in American Birding. “Large numbers of migrants came in overnight on several nights, and rain helped to put birds down in local habitats around May 3rd and 4th. Numbers of new arrivals haven’t been as large for the last couple of days, but warblers, thrushes, and other migratory songbirds have remained numerous in woodlots near the Lake Erie shore, as they rest and feed to build strength for the next leg of their journey.” Northwest Ohio, specifically Magee Marsh Wildlife Area, is a hotspot for spring songbird migration. The stars of the show, warblers, make a stop in the area on their way from Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean to their breeding grounds in the north. The tiny visitors stop on the southern shores of Lake Erie in the spring to refuel before making the trek across the lake. Warblers are small, active birds that offer a wonderful diversity of bright colors and beautiful patterns. Their diet mainly

Not only does The Biggest Week In American Birding coincide with spring songbird migration, but it also offers a wide variety of workshops, walks, vendors, and events for birders. This year, Biggest Week is highlighting Women in Conservation with a discussion panel and celebrity walks with nationally recognized women who are breaking glass ceilings with their scientific work. The response is overwhelming, that the lone frustration is that many people are having a hard time finding a parking space. “It’s going really well. One of our volunteers just came in and said he wanted to go to the boardwalk but said there are no parking spots down there. Can you believe it?” said BSBO communications director Jasmine Cupp. During the weekend, Cupp expected the demographics to change even more, drawing even more people from outside the area who could not make it during the week. “There have been a lot of Quebec license plates the last couple days, but right now we’re expecting to see the new people come in and the people who have been here go out, so it will be a little bit of a shift,” Cupp said. ‘The Show’ When birders are filling up a wildlife refuge boardwalk, they tune in what they

typically call ‘The Show.’ This year, ‘The Show’ has already been good. For instance, Kim Kaufman went onto the boardwalk with representatives from the American Conservancy Board early in the festival, and Cupp says “they had a great show on the boardwalk.” It hasn’t just been warblers that are highlighting the show. “We did have one bird that we’ve never had before, and it was a Snowy Owl. Other than that, I think we’re seeing all the regular players,” Cupp said. “I went with (BSBO outreach director) Jason (Guerard) and we did a Facebook live from the boardwalk and we did see some species we hadn’t seen yet this year, which was really nice, and then I posted the pictures that I took on the Facebook page.” Kenn Kaufman continued to note some special sightings in his blog. “At Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge, a Neotropic Cormorant (very rare in Ohio) was along the auto tour May 5 and 6. It was near the northeastern most corner of the auto tour route (identified on refuge maps as the corner of Trumpeter Trail and North Estuary Avenue) but it would be worth watching for anywhere at Ottawa, Metzger Marsh, or Magee Marsh. A Rough-legged Hawk (common here in winter but very rare in May) lingered through this morning along Stange Road north of State Route 2,

on the southwest edge of Ottawa NWR. “The wave of birds that arrived last week included an interesting mix of species that usually push through in late April (like Palm and Yellow-rumped Warblers) with species more typical of the second wave in May (like Bay-breasted, Chestnut-sided, and Blackpoll Warblers). Some of the typical later migrants are still scarce or absent. Very few flycatchers have arrived, and very few of the late warblers like Mourning, Wilson’s, and Canada. If the weather forecast holds up, we should start to see more of such birds by this weekend. It isn’t just blogs. This group is high tech, too, thanks to BSBO and state wildlife agencies. There are multiple hotspots around the parks set up in eBird so birders can receive their bird checklists when they visit. You can use the hotspots to report birds seen on the boardwalk or elsewhere, although the hotspots are not consistently located in every park. “A lot of our van trips people have been seeing a lot of good stuff.” On our website, people have been checking in with their eBird lists. We have, if they submit them, put them on our website so people can see who is seeing what on what tour and on what day, which is good.”

New equipment will assist new metropark By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The Jerusalem Township Fire Department has updated its equipment that will improve access to the new Howard Marsh Metropark, which opened on April 28. . “We as a department have taken some preparation for it,” said Fire Chief Tony Parasiliti. Among the equipment that was purchased for the department is an Utility Terrain Vehicle (UTV), he said. “The Firefighters Association paid for a large portion of this John Deere UTV vehicle. It’s a four wheel drive all-terrain vehicle that is stealthy and lightweight. We bought it with the intent of serving not only the metropark, but also using it for brush fires, and transporting patients in rural areas that are tough to get to. If someone who needed our help was located at a distance in the metropark, we could go out there with the UTV and retrieve the patients and bring them back to our medic unit for further treatment. We can’t necessarily drive our squad out there. The ground wouldn’t take it because it’s so soft. So this will help us gain access.” The department also bought a trailer to carry the equipment. Inside the trailer will be a 15 - foot flat bottom boat that assists in shallow waters, he added. Challenges The new equipment will help the department address some of the challenges it

faces with the new metropark, he said. “Full access to the metropark has been given to the public. Because of the nature of how far away the trails are, and the fact they are at a great distance from any parking area, the equipment will improve our ability to access anyone who is enjoying themselves in the park but needs our help in an emergency. The equipment will get to those areas in an efficient manner. If we need to, we could transport our medic to begin treatment out there and shuttle people in that way. If someone were to have a medical emergency, for instance a heart attack, then we could get our personnel out there to perform CPR,” he said. Other uses The equipment will also be used to respond to emergencies at Maumee Bay State Park, he said, particularly for the annual fireworks display held in the summer. “We’ll use the UTV to staff EMS personnel to be more mobile with all those vehicles and people out there. It allows for a little bit more agility to move around to get to locations that are more difficult to access due to traffic congestion,” he said. “There are anywhere from 8,000 to 10,000 people out there. That provides a challenge. We can move around more freely with the UTV rather than try to maneuver around the traffic with our big squads.” The department also provides EMS on bikes to get better access to such locations, he added. Other uses of the UTV include assistance in putting out a field fire encroaching onto a home. “This can help us manage the

fire. It has fire capabilities on it. It carries 70 gallons of water, and has a fire pump on it.” The fire department bought the UTV late last year, and recently purchased the fire pump and tank a couple of weeks ago. “Our trailer is on order and we’re waiting for that to come in,” he said. Trained divers It is not uncommon for the pay, on call 24-member volunteer firefighters/EMTs to respond to emergencies on the lake, as the township is located along Lake Erie. “We cover 265 square miles in the township. Two hundred and thirty square miles of that is on the lake, and 30 square miles is land based. We’re one of the largest townships covered by one fire department,” he said, which also has three paramedics and a doctor on staff. The department uses a hovercraft to rescue people stuck on the ice in the winter. “Our people are trained in ice rescue. A hovercraft is one piece of equipment that helps us maneuver on the ice. We also work with mutual aid partners that have airboats. Our UTV will also be used for access to emergencies on the ice.” The department is one of just two in the area that have trained divers on staff, he said. “We elected to be a water rescue/dive department. We have six divers available. There are not many fire departments that have dive teams available. The only other dive team in the area is the Toledo Fire Department. We also support a good portion of Ottawa County with our dive support as well,” he said.

U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-OH9) leads a list of dignitaries scheduled to celebrate the reopening of Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Saturday, May 19, at 10 a.m. The memorial was closed in 2017 for $2.4 million in deferred maintenance (DM) work that included repointing the exterior masonry, removing efflorescence, replacing broken interior wall tile, and rehabilitating five exterior bronze doors. “This is a proud moment for us,” said Superintendent Barbara Fearon. “It’s an important moment in the history of this park, and we are thrilled to share it with the American public.” Congresswoman Kaptur will be joined by Sen. Randy Gardner (ROH-2), Rep. Steve Arndt (R-OH-89), Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) represented by his Ohio District Director Kelsey Krull, Gov. John Kasich (R-OH) represented by his Northwest Ohio Regional Representative LuAnne Cooke, and Ottawa County Commissioners Mark Coppeler, Jim Sass, and Mark Stahl. Huntington National Bank is paying for the first 103 adults to take the elevator to the Observation Deck in observance of the 103rd anniversary of the start of memorial operations. Webster P. Huntington, a decedent of the founder of Huntington National Bank, was instrumental in raising funds to build the memorial. Regular fees are $7 for adults (16 and older); is $7, those 15 and younger ride for free. Credit cards will be accepted for fee payment for the first time in 2018. The majority of entrance fees collected stay in the park and are applied to high priority needs that directly impact the visitor experience.

Howard Farms huge hit with the birding community By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com The newly opened Howard Marsh Metropark in Jerusalem Township has become such a hit with birders, that worldwide renown birding expert Kenn Kaufman of Kaufman Field Goals blogged about the park. “The new Howard Marsh Metropark has been outstanding for shorebirds this week. Big flocks of American GoldenPlovers have been consistent, with sightings of Black-necked Stilt, Ruddy Turnstone, Wilson’s Phalarope, and others. American Pipits and Horned Larks have been in open areas along the entrance road,” Kaufman said. Metroparks Toledo’s newest 1,000-plus acre park is located off Howard Road north of State Route 2, west of Metzger Marsh. It’s conveniently located in a region that also

includes Maumee Bay State Park, Magee Marsh State Wildlife Area and the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge. The new park creates a nearly eightmile continuous stretch of public lands developed into wetlands. Throw in Maumee Bay State Park and Cedar Point Wildlife Refuge to the west and 11,687 acres of unique wetlands are or will be preserved for waterfowl habitat and the public’s enjoyment. For wildlife and birding viewing opportunities, a boardwalk crosses wetland zones, about 1,000 feet of open water, and skip across to newly constructed upland and habitat islands, reverting to a gravel trail every time it reaches dry ground. That’s only the beginning. The birders, about 90,000 of them, are here for the Black Swamp Bird Observatory’s Biggest Week In American Birding festival, which ran May 4-13. “The response has been overwhelm-

ing,” said Metroparks Toledo public relations director Scott Carpenter. “We do traffic counts, vehicle counts, and as of the first thing Monday morning we had 9,300 visitors already since it opened a week earlier, so I would have no qualms at all about guessing that we’ve had more than 10,000 people up to (Wednesday). Large crowds, van loads from the Biggest Week festival.” Lucas County has an abundance of birds and plenty of places to see them. Metroparks is part of the Lake Erie Birding Trail, featuring the premiere sites to see almost 400 species. While the spring migration of warblers — those colorful little songbirds — put Northwest Ohio on the map as a birding destination, there are plenty of birds of all sizes to see any season. “People are here to see a variety of birds, especially warblers,” Carpenter said. “What I guess I didn’t fully appreciate until I talked to these birders is they like the park

as open as it is because it’s attracting some different species including a large number and variety of shorebirds. It’s not just more of what they are seeing at other places, it’s adding to the variety, which is what they are here for, which is great.” Educated group Carpenter said he knew that the birding community is an educated group, but he found that most had already done their research on Howard Marsh, even though many were coming from other parts of the world. He found that out when he stopped out to the Metropark the first Sunday of the festival. “One of the things that really stood out to me when I was walking around through the crowd on Sunday was how much people really know about,” Carpenter said. “The participants in the Biggest Week festi-

Howard Farms huge hit with the birding community (continued from page 5) val are very well educated in reading about it and watching the park develop for the last couple years. “Every person I’ve talked to, I’d always start with, ‘I’m from the park district. Did you know this was a farm field 18 months ago?’ and everybody I talked to knew all about it. That was really great to hear.” It isn’t just Howard Marsh that is benefiting from the festival. It’s Pearson Metropark in Oregon and other parks around the Toledo area. “Many of the Metroparks are stops for Biggest Week because we’re a sponsor. I think there is a sign that says ‘Welcome to the Biggest Week’ at Wildwood and Pearson and Oak Openings, and probably the other parks, so all of the parks are enjoying more visitors at this time of year for a variety of reasons, but birding is one of them. “It’s always hard to anticipate what the turnout is going to be for a brand new park. Of course, we expected a big turnout because of the Biggest Week, and that’s why we opened Howard Marsh (late April) when we did. Pearson has always been a popular destination for birding migration as well, so we’re seeing large crowds there as well,” Carpenter continued. “It’s exciting for us for a couple reasons. One, to be a part of this wonderful thing that the Black Swamp Observatory has put on now, but also to see that many people out enjoying our natural resources and being a part of showcasing our community to people from all over the world.” Howard Marsh will include dike-top trails on-grade and on berms for hiking. Deep water trails will be separated by portages for canoeists to cross, and a concrete public boat launch will be under construction. Through Ward’s Canal, this will be the first Metropark to have direct access to Lake Erie. Carpenter saw people taking advantage of those opportunities when he was out there Sunday. “(There were) lots of birders primarily, but lots of kayaking,” Carpenter said. “Every time I’ve been out there, there have been people kayaking. And, we’ll see more of that as the weather gets more reliably

Stakeholders meeting for Navarre projects Continued from front page sions on improving the appearance of the downtown area with the use of art, he said. The city is looking at art projects at the gateway at I-280 as well as in other locations. “We’ve talked about perhaps painting murals on the back of the buildings that face Dustin Road,” he said. The city may partner with the arts commission or tap into the talents of Clay High School student artists to achieve those goals, he added. “We’re looking at a variety of options,” he said. Navarre Safety The city plans to extend the Navarre Avenue Safety project further east to Coy Road. The city wants to hear from businesses along the road if they support those plans. “We want to know whether they think the project is working,” he said. “Some of those are businesses adjacent to the improvements, and some stakeholders would be property owners immediately east of the area that’s already been improved.” The recently completed Navarre Avenue Safety Project involved implementing various safety and aesthetic improvements along Navarre Avenue between I-280 and Isaac Streets Drive to reduce crashes and improve safety. The city received grant funding from the Federal Highway Administration through the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) for the project. Construction started early last year and was completed in November. Some businesses in the area were initially concerned that the project would cause inconveniences to their customers.

But meetings informing them of what it entailed helped allay those fears. The city wants to hear from those property owners to get feedback on the project and to hear from residents and businesses further east down Navarre Avenue who would be impacted by a second round of improvements to the east. “We want to find out how it’s working out for the businesses along there, whether the customers are getting used to it, and learn from them a little bit,” said Beazley. “We will give them an update on the traffic information that we have about how we think it’s going. The city is interested in continuing those improvements as you go east toward Coy Road. We feel like it’s working, but we want to listen a little bit and get a sense of what we can learn from

the first improvements we made and do better on the next one. We want to get a sense from the group about whether we should keep going in that direction. ”The project included the construction of a median along Navarre Avenue, bulb out and median openings to accommodate U-turns and emergency access, and the construction of a public road between Wheeling Street and Navarre Avenue, located northeast of the intersection, to the Freeway strip mall to improve access to area businesses as well as provide access for emergency vehicles.

It doesn’t have to be the same old thing “Same old, same old,” is a common response when inquiring how someone is doing. You don’t have to live the same day over and over. You can venture out in order to explore new horizons. Breaking up your routine is easier than you realize. The problem is that your current routine has become engrained and comfortable. Waiting for something to change typically leads to never ending frustration. When this happens, people resign themselves to their lot in life, accepting that nothing will ever change. These people go through their recurring daily routines in a joyless stupor. But you don’t have to live this way. You can proactively pursue changes which add to your happiness by making your life more interesting. Doing so involves getting over any fear of change you may have, along with a willingness to leave the comfort zone of regular routines. For too many people, their job is a source of endless monotony. Since a secure job is an important component of financial security, there’s an ingrained reluctance to risk any changes. Sometimes people will put up with a job they don’t like for the sake of their retirement. They will endure decades of dissatisfaction with the hope of being able to be happier when retired. Be the best at whatever you do. Maintain a standard of excellence. Don’t accept mediocrity as being good enough. There are more opportunities within your current employment than you realize. A great way to get a promotion is to perform at that level.

Dare to Live by Bryan Golden There are actions you can take to make any job less mundane. Take initiative, don’t act as if you are trapped. Learn new skills and/or get more education which will open up new possibilities for you. Learning new things provides numerous benefits. Acquiring additional knowledge and skills keeps your mind sharp, expands your career options, and broadens your perspectives. It’s an investment in yourself. Pursing additional education displaces boredom. There are abundant opportunities for learning; from formal schooling, to free internet based tutorials. Fears hold you back. They keep you in routines. Do what you are afraid to do. Try new things. The objective is breaking out of your comfort zone. Expanding your horizons uncovers new opportunities. This approach pushes you out of the same old routines. Connect with different people. You will be exposed to other perspectives, outlooks, and personalities. Your own thinking will broaden. New ideas will appear to you. You will be motivated to explore different paths. Review your goals. If they don’t excite you, find goals which do. If you have

no goals, figure out what you want to accomplish. This single step can reenergize the direction of your life. Working toward meaningful objectives ends daily monotony. Stop procrastinating. Start working towards those objectives you have been putting off. Making progress toward your desired destination adds meaning to each day, which provides you with more satisfaction. Change up your routines. Even simple variations get you out of a rut. Anything you do differently is effective. Try new foods, see different types of movies, read about new topics, take different routes to and from work, and visit places you’ve never been to. Make your own decisions. Don’t follow the crowd. Question conventional wisdom. Follow your own path. It doesn’t matter what other people say, think, or do. Live your life in a manner which brings you happiness. Simple changes will give each day new excitement. You have to be proactive. Don’t passively wait for circumstances to become more interesting. Instead, take action which leads to more excitement in your life. NOW AVAILABLE: “Dare to Live Without Limits,” the book. Visit www.BryanGolden. com or your bookstore.

Juveniles sent to detention increased during the same period from 382 to 833, an 118 percent increase. “We try to make them reach bottom sooner,” he told The Press, adding that striking a balance between punishment and treatment would send a message to teens that the party is over. Sports: Johnson Reels offered a $20,000 prize for the fisherman who could catch a specially-tagged walleye named “Tom”.

Health Published second week of month.

Mercy Health & Mercy Children’s Hospital launch GoNoodle A new initiative has elementary students across nine northwest Ohio counties participating in movement and mindfulness in their classrooms. With funding from Mercy Health and Mercy Health - Children’s Hospital, 249 area public and private elementary schools will be using GoNoodle’s online movement videos to get kids running, jumping, dancing, stretching, and participating in calming activities next to their desks. GoNoodle maximizes the scientific connection between physical activity, social and emotional health and better learning with hundreds of short videos and games that get kids moving. Grounded in research, the goal of using GoNoodle is to improve behavior, focus, academic performance and health. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only one-quarter of today’s youth meet the current recommendation of at least 60 minutes of physical activity per day. To use GoNoodle, teachers need to have a computer with an Internet connection and a shared screen such as a projector or interactive whiteboard. At home, kids can create and customize their accounts (with parent verification), and play GoNoodle online, on mobile or on Apple TV. Thanks to a community contribution by Mercy Health and Mercy Health Children’s Hospital, teachers, parents and kids will have access to GoNoodle Plus for free by signing up at gonoodle.com. A GoNoodle Plus kickoff event was held April 23 at Starr Elementary School in Oregon, where Mercy Health and GoNoodle officials joined the school’s staff and student body, along with OCS mascot Buddy the Bulldog. Oregon City Schools teachers now

Starr Elementary School students and staff celebrated the launch of GoNoodle Plus at a kickoff April 23. (Submitted photo) have access to GoNoodle’s premium version, GoNoodle PLUS, which brings movement and mindfulness together with core subjects to develop fluency in grade-specific math and English Language Arts (ELA) topics. With GoNoodle PLUS, teachers have the ability to customize GoNoodle content to support their lesson plans and the academic goals of the classroom. Starr Elementary kindergarten teacher Tracy Venia touted GoNoodle’s ease of use and effectiveness in getting students on their feet and moving. “GoNoodle has a wonderful variety of songs with educational themes as well as many others that can be used for fun, indoor recess options or even as classroom

rewards and incentives,” she told Mercy Health. “I especially love the educational songs, which are so easy for teachers to access based on grade level and standards. Venia noted she also appreciates that teachers can input their own questions or words based on lessons. “Our district has set a word list for students to learn, and it was easy to add them. “As a kindergarten teacher with almost 30 years of experience, I have seen the powerful effects of music and movement in my classroom,” she said. “Over the years, I have purchased countless CDs to use with my students when they needed a movement break. Now I love the ease of having GoNoodle at my fingertips, which has a huge variety of songs and movement

activities from which to choose.” “It’s great,” Starr Elementary Principal Tricia Soltesz said about GoNoodle. “Our teachers appreciate the opportunity to give students a fun yet beneficial ‘brain break’ between lessons.” The partnership with GoNoodle is expanding upon Mercy Health’s mission of fostering healthy communities and focusing on prevention across the Northwest Ohio region. “Mercy Health is committed to helping our community thrive – mind, body and spirit – and so it only made sense to work with GoNoodle to bring this innovative program to our area schools,” said Bob Baxter, vice president, Mercy Health and president and CEO, Mercy Health – Toledo.

Teacher’s message

Gibsonburg’s Reser raising funds, awareness for prostate cancer By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Knowledge is power. That’s the message Gibsonburg teacher Steve Reser is trying to get across to people with regard to prostate cancer awareness. What started out as an idea nine years ago after Reser’s father, Mike, was diagnosed with the illness, has become a local movement – one that has seen the Tiffin non-profit organization, Prostate Cancer Awareness (P.C.A.), gain momentum. “My dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer through an annual checkup, which prompted us to start Prostate Cancer Awareness. Our whole goal is to raise awareness so men take advantage of the resources out there and get the testing done to see where they are and where they

stand – it’s about getting the proper treatment,” said Reser. “We use those funds not so much to find a cure – there are plenty of organizations out there for that – it’s about getting the word out there and the awareness so people get tested and combat the illness. “A lot of men die with prostate with cancer; but men don’t need to die because of prostate cancer; hopefully we can combat and win the fight, not just for the men, (but also) for their families – these men are uncles, husbands, fathers, brothers, grandfathers.” Each September, the P.C.A has a golf tournament to raise funds, and it’s grown into quite an event. “In the last eight to nine years, it has really taken off. We do it in September, which is Prostate Cancer Awareness month.” said Reser. “We had eight teams

at the first event; now we have upwards of 26-28 teams. (The event) is held at Clinton Heights Golf Course.” “I think we’ve donated at least $7,500 to the cause in the last few years,” he said. It’s not just a golf outing that Reser holds in an effort to raise funds – there’s also a dinner held at Heidelberg University, his alma mater. Last year, former NFL and Ohio State receiver Dane Sanzenbacher spoke at the event, and Dan Cummins will speak this year. Reser works for Gibsonburg schools as a Spanish teacher and also served as the football coach there for the last eight years. His teams went 50-33 (.602), won a Toledo Area Athletic Conference title and advanced to the playoffs three times during his tenure. He was recently hired to take over at Tiffin Calvert, his alma mater.

Riverview Healthcare events celebrate Skilled Nursing

“

...proud to recognize the life stories of the many individuals at our campus...

“

Ottawa County Riverview Healthcare Campus, Oak Harbor, will host a series of special events as part of National Skilled Nursing Care Week (NSNCW), which runs May 13-19. The theme for this year’s national observance, “Celebrating Life’s Stories,” pays homage to the diverse set of perspectives that residents, families and staff bring to everyday interactions. “The events we have planned will give our residents, staff and visitors the opportunities to discuss life events and how those events were perceived differently across the generations,” said Kendra M. German, Riverview administrator. “We are proud to recognize the life stories of the many individuals at our campus and community,” she said. “This year, we share these unique stories through themed reminiscence discussions and special guests using the theme of the day to engage the residents in honoring the contribution each person makes to Ottawa County Riverview Healthcare Campus.” Established by the American Health Care Association (AHCA) in 1967, NSNCW (formerly known as National Nursing Home Week) provides an opportunity for residents and their loved ones, staff, volunteers, and surrounding communities to acknowledge the role of skilled nursing care centers in caring for America’s seniors and individuals with disabilities. Special events have been planned each day for Riverview residents, staff and their families. Highlights of this week include: • Monday May 14 at 1:30 p.m., Adam Benner, a professional storm chaser will visit Riverview. Benner, 24 and a lifelong resident of Oak Harbor, has been chasing storms for seven years. During that time, he has seen 12 tornadoes in various locations including Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas and Arkansas. He is currently the Eastern Regions’ Operations Manager of Research

and Development as well as the Lead Storm Chaser of Texas. At 6:30 p.m., D’Arcy Egan will share some of his favorite stories from his career as a journalist. Egan had been a sportswriter for The Plain Dealer for 43 years before retiring in 2015. Today, he is the editor of the Beacon in Port Clinton. • Tuesday May 15 at 6:30 p.m., German, will give an update on the current facility renovation project. The project is a six-phase, $10 million renovation that will touch all parts of the facility. It is being financed through a bond being paid back with funds from Riverview’s current .5 mil – five-year levy. Attendees can view the progress in Phase I and get a glimpse of the start of Phase II. • Thursday, May 17 at 2 p.m., a presentation from the Challenger Learning Center in Oregon, will discuss the history of the Challenger Shuttle tragedy in January 1986. • Friday, May 18 at 10 a.m., Riverview will host a Veterans’ Celebration with Port Clinton School’s Bell Choir and Sara Toris, director of Ottawa County Veteran Services The public is invited to all events. Riverview Healthcare Campus is located at 8180 W. SR 163.

Crime Prevention Corner

Don’t be taken by home improvement scammers By Ron Craig Crime Prevention Specialist, Community Policing Officer Springtime brings flowers, grass to mow, and chores most of us would rather have someone else do. It also brings out unscrupulous people who want to scam you out of your hard-earned money. Each year at this time, law enforcement agencies start getting calls from residents, reporting they have been taken by scammers who were supposed to perform work but did not live up to their promises. The types of scams are almost as numerous as the pool of swindlers, but most fall into one category or another of home improvement or fix-it work. The scams may involve driveway repairs, house and barn painting, roofing work, tree trimming or removal, swimming pool renovations, or sidewalk repair. Det. Aaron Leist, of Lake Township Police Department, has some good advice for those who are approached by someone wanting to perform such work. “Always question a situation in which someone wants all or a large amount of money for payment up front,” Leist says. “That

should raise a big, red flag.” Most reputable businesses will not make such a request. Those businesses may ask for a reasonable deposit, but if you are told you are expected to pay the entire amount or even a large sum of money before the job is completed to your satisfaction, don’t bite. “Never fall for high-pressure tactics. Tell them you need time to think it over or to check with a friend or relative. Then take that time to do some research into the business,” Leist said. The detective pointed out the Better Business Bureau is a good place to start when checking the legitimacy of a business. The Ohio Secretary of State’s Office also has a website which citizens can access to check into the background of some businesses and performing Google searches may uncover important information. Residents should also check to see if a contractor has any required licenses or permits. Also, check the vehicle the contractor is driving to make sure it is the kind of vehicle to be used for the work in question. Check for signs on the vehicle to see if the name of the business matches what they have given you. “Ask the business for references and inquire to see if they belong to any civic or-

ganizations like Rotary, Exchange Club, or Kiwanis. Another key is a business card. If you ask someone for a business card and they don’t have one, that could be another sign of a scam,” Leist said. You may also wish to inquire about how long they have been in business and ask what other area residents they have performed work for. Follow through by contacting those neighbors, asking them if the work was done properly and on time. Dates on any work contracts is another important factor to consider, the detective noted. If a contract does not specify an exact date by which the work is to be completed, a resident may not have any legal recourse. “When there is no date the work is to be done by, the issue becomes a civil matter that law enforcement may not be able to do much about. You should also make sure the contractor is bonded and insured by verifying any such information he or she provides,” Leist said. Making sure you are in a safe place when talking to prospective contractors is of utmost importance. Talk outside the home, thwarting any effort by the contractor to see what valuable items you may have inside. “Never be alone if you are inside your

home. Have a relative, friend, or neighbor you trust with you. Sometimes, these (contractors) have someone else with them. One of them may ask to use the bathroom while the other keeps you occupied, giving them a chance to scout the home for valuables,” the detective pointed out. If you are told you must pay cash, walk away from the deal. The detective says this is another sign you are about to be scammed. Likewise, if a contractor offers financing from a source with which you are not familiar, don’t make the agreement. Many of these issues can be avoided by dealing with a reputable, established local business. Be cognizant of all factors involved in any deal, making sure everything makes sense. The detective said an old saying can help in deciding whether to go forward with a deal. “If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.” This article is a public service from the Crime Prevention Division of the Lake Township Police Department. Township residents may obtain further information on crime prevention and public safety topics by contacting Craig at 419-481-6354.

Ohio egg farmers highlight egg nutrition, versatility, recipes May is National Egg Month, and the Ohio Poultry Association (OPA) is marking the occasion by celebrating the nutritional excellence and versatility of the incredible egg. “National Egg Month is the perfect time to recognize the nutritional value of eggs,” said Jim Chakeres, OPA executive vice president. “Eggs are an excellent source of high-quality protein, provide 13 essential nutrients, and are only 70 calories, which means they can be enjoyed during every meal.” The average American eats 250 eggs annually. At an average of just 17 cents each, eggs are an affordable source of high-quality protein. Additionally, eggs are an excellent source of choline which contributes to

a healthy pregnancy and aides in preventing age-related memory loss, the OPA says. Ohio “egg-sperts” recommend the below recipes to help incorporate eggs into every meal: Breakfast: Why not make pizza for breakfast? An excellent source of protein and calcium, a Hash Brown and Egg Pizza is a quick and easy option the family will love. (ohioeggs.com/recipe/hash-brown-and-egg-pizza/) Lunch: Kick the traditional egg salad recipe up a notch by trying Sweet Southern-Style Egg Salad. The 10-minute recipe is easy-to-follow and is a great way to use up leftover hardboiled eggs. (ohioeggs.com/recipe/sweetsouthern-style-egg-salad/)

Snack: Veggie Egg Pops are a quick way to help finish the day strong. Use a celery stalk or carrot slice to make a hard-boiled egg into

an egg pop and dip them in hummus or guacamole. (ohioeggs.com/recipe/veggie-egg-pops/) Dinner: Whip up Turkey Sloppy Joe Sliders with a Fried Egg in just 15 minutes. (ohioeggs.com/recipe/turkey-sloppy-joe-sliders-with-fried-eggs/) Dessert: Luscious Lemon Lime Squares taste as good as they look. The tart, rich treats are sure to be a hit at any summer picnic. (ohioeggs.com/recipe/luscious-lemon-limesquares/) Ohio is one of the largest egg farming states in the nation producing more than 9.5 billion eggs per year.

Fight the bite

Safety tips for mosquito & tick season With the arrival of mosquito and tick season in Northwest Ohio, the ToledoLucas County Health Department suggest the community take precautions preventing mosquito and tick bites to avoid diseases such as Zika virus, West Nile virus and Lyme disease. In Ohio, ticks are usually active April through September and mosquitoes May through October. Mosquitoes Ohio has a type of mosquito that can transmit West Nile Virus, and two cases were reported in Lucas County last year. The primary mosquito that transmits Zika virus is found in the tropics and southern U.S., but it is not known to be established in Ohio. It’s a “cousin” of the mosquito found in parts of Ohio that may potentially transmit Zika virus. Mosquitoes can live indoors and outdoors. Some species bite during the day, while others bite at dusk and dawn. The health department offers these tips to avoid mosquito bites and prevent mosquito-borne diseases: • If you are outdoors when mosquitoes are most active, be sure to wear long pants, a long-sleeved shirt, shoes and socks. • Wear light-colored clothing, which is less attractive to mosquitoes. • Use EPA-registered mosquito repellent and follow the label directions. • Wear clothing and gear treated with permethrin, an insecticide (do not apply permethrin directly to skin). • Install or repair screens on windows and doors to keep mosquitoes out of your home. To eliminate mosquito breeding sites around your home, eliminate standing water. Empty or remove water-holding containers, such as buckets, unused flower pots and bird baths. Make sure all roof gutters and clean and draining properly. Keep child wading pools empty and, on their sides, when not being used.

Ticks The types of ticks found in Ohio can transmit a variety of diseases including Lyme disease. Four cases were reported in Lucas County last year. “If you find a tick attached to your body, properly remove it, watch for a fever, rash, muscle or joint aches or other symptoms,” said Health Commissioner Eric Zgodzinski. “If you experience any of these symptoms contact your healthcare provider.” A few ways to avoid ticks and bites and prevent tick-borne diseases: • Avoid direct contact with ticks by avoiding wooded and bushy areas with high grass and leaf litter, and by walking in the center of trails. • Wear clothing and gear treated with permethrin. • Use EPA-registered tick repellent and follow the label directions. If you find a tick attached to your body,

use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin’s surface as possible. Pull upward with steady, even pressure. Do not twist or jerk the tick, which can cause the mouth parts to break off and remain in the skin. If this happens, remove the mouth parts with tweezers. If you are unable to remove the mouth easily, leave it alone and let the skin heal. After removing the tick, thoroughly clean the bite area and wash hands with rubbing alcohol, an iodine scrub or soap and water. Dispose a live tick by submersing it in alcohol, placing it in a sealed bag/container, wrapping it tightly in tape or flushing it down the toilet. Never crush a tick with your fingers. Avoid folklore remedies such as “painting” a tick with nail polish or petroleum jelly or using heat to make a tick detach from your skin.

Don’t let pets become statistics By Lindsay Pollard-Post The PETA Foundation Norfolk, Virginia At least five animals have died already this year due to heat-related reasons – and these are just the deaths that have been reported. Most aren’t. Please don’t let your animal companions become statistics – take these precautions to protect them. Never leave animals or children in parked vehicles. On a 75-degree day, the temperature inside a parked car can soar to 104 degrees in 20 minutes, and on a 90-degree day, it can reach 119 degrees in the same amount of time. Parking in the shade, leaving the windows partially open, and/or leaving water in the vehicle

will not keep vehicles cool enough to be safe. In warm weather, never make dogs run with you – they will collapse before giving up, and by then it may be too late to save them. Walk dogs early in the morning or late at night when it’s cooler and test the pavement with your hand to ensure it won’t burn their footpads. Never leave animals outdoors unattended. If there are chained or penned dogs in your neighborhood, ensure that they have water (in a tip-proof container), shade, food, and shelter. If they lack these necessities, give them water and notify authorities immediately. Visit www.PETA.org for more tips on keeping animals cool and safe this spring.

“Put a Lid on It” - Protect Before You Pedal By Allison Thomas, MPH, CHES Creating Healthy Communities Coordinator Sandusky County Health Department In 2010, the number of people injured by not wearing a bike helmet was 51,000 – almost the entire population of Sandusky County. Universal use of bicycle helmets by children ages 4-15 could prevent between 135 and 155 deaths, between 39,000 and 45,000 head injuries and between 18,000 and 55,000 scalp and face injuries annually. To help prevent injuries and save lives, the Sandusky County Health Department is joining the Ohio Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics (Ohio AAP) in a statewide effort to remind children to “Put a Lid on It! Protect Before You Pedal” during the month of May – Ohio Bike Helmet Safety Awareness Month. And, this month is not just for kids. We know that parents who model wearing their bike helmet increase the likelihood of a child wearing their helmet, so this month is not only to get children to wear their helmets, but also to allow them to see adults in all walks of life wearing their helmets proudly. It also makes fiscal sense to ensure that children wear helmets. For the cost of a $10 bike helmet, we can take $41 out of Ohio’s health care system. That’s a significant return on an affordable investment for our families. To learn more and show your support, visit OhioAAP.org, or the “Put A Lid on It” Facebook page, www.facebook.com/bikehelmetsafety.

Overpayment corrected An overpayment to a teacher in the Gibsonburg Exempted Village School District was flagged in a recent state audit of the district’s financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017. The 2016-17 salary schedule lists a salary of $71,800 for a teacher with a master’s degree and 15 years of experience. However, the incorrect rate of $72,753, which is for teachers with a master’s and 30 years, was entered for the teacher, resulting in an overpayment of $953. In February 2018, the district and teacher agreed to a repayment schedule for withholding equal amounts from 13 pay checks starting March 2. Results of the audit were released last week. “The district has reviewed the process for salary adjustments and implemented new procedures to ensure the accuracy of salary obligations,� the audit says.

Inspirational Message of the Week: Be Your Own Hero Works of fiction are sometimes disparaged by those with a practical bias as being useless, or at best, a harmless diversion. They would rather read non-fiction, presumably because it gives them knowledge which they can actually use. But fiction often teaches us valuable lessons about how to live life, how to handle adversity, and what it is to be human in difficult circumstances. Furthermore, we are sometimes struck by the realization that we might bend circumstances and events to our will, and in effect become the heroes of our own life. That is a valuable lesson, and one which can be learned from reading fiction, but also from reading biographies, autobiographies, and the narratives of the Bible. Becoming a hero usually starts, as it does in fiction, with conflict or adversity. From there, one must be inspired to

resolve the conflict or deal with the adversity. And before the inspiration fades, one usually has to create a workable plan. In the same way that an author must plan her work, thinking over and trying out different plots and plans for character development, we should plan our own lives, perhaps imagining different paths toward achieving something great, something worth writing about. And just as an author has to develop her characters, so too do we have to develop our own moral character. “And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.� —Romans 5: 2-4 NIV
