Otter Creek

Urban runoff capture project will reduce pollutants Oregon City Council on Monday approved an agreement with Mannik & Smith Group, Inc., Maumee, to provide professional engineering services for the Urban Runoff Capture and Otter Creek Restoration Project. The contract amount was $70,790. The project’s aim is to create a wetland near Otter Creek that will help reduce pollutants. The project area is directly upstream of the Western Basin of Lake Erie. The city applied for and received a grant from the United States Environmental Protection Agency Great Lakes Restoration Initiative for the design and construction of a stormwater treatment and wetland habitat restoration project near Eastmoreland Blvd., adjacent to Otter Creek, according to Public Service Director Paul Roman. The grant will reimburse the city for 94 percent of the eligible design and construction costs up to a maximum of $499,977 for the project. “This is the fourth ditch or stream system that we’ve tackled that continues to show Oregon as a leader in helping filter out nutrients,” said City Administrator Mike Beazley. “We do what we can to take care of our lake, to help with flooding and other challenges.” Beazley is referring to major improvements the city has made to

Wolf Creek, Amolsch Ditch and Big Ditch to improve drainage and water quality. “This is the fourth and the last of the major stream systems. Council should feel good about our efforts over the years,” he said. “I also think this is a great project,” said Councilwoman Sandy Bihn, who is also executive director of Lake Erie Waterkeeper. Storm flow The Urban Runoff Capture and Otter Creek Restoration Project will intercept stormwater from a 43-acre developed urban and commercial watershed and route it to a newly constructed wetland system. Natural wetland processes will be used to reduce non-point source pollutants such as Total Suspended Solids, e.coli, and Total Phosphorus within the system.

The immediately adjacent areas surrounding the 2.1 acre wetland will be upland areas that will be seeded with native upland grasses. Presently, 54 storm sewer catch basins and manholes collect storm water along roadways and route this water directly to a 20’ storm sewer that discharges into Otter Creek, adjacent to Eastmoreland Drive. The project seeks to intercept the flow from this storm sewer and route it by gravity to the proposed wetland area, adjacent to Otter Creek. The project includes a single parallel stream channel that will reroute mid to high storm flows of Otter Creek. The vegetated water quality channel will be approximately twice the width of the existing Otter Creek. It will decrease flow velocities and help filter out suspended solids. The project also proposes to stabilize the banks of the existing Otter Creek. Due to the historical industrialized pollution of Otter Creek, and the potential for contaminated sediments to be found, the existing creek bed will be left untouched. If contaminated sediment is found during the project, it will be tested, handled, and disposed of in an appropriate manner. In addition to reducing pollution, the project will create a habitat for wildlife and increase greenspace within an urban neighborhood.

A tax abatement agreement between Lake schools and First Solar, Inc., has temporarily eliminated the need for the Lake school board to seek additional property tax millage - possibly as early as this November, Tim Krugh, board president, said Monday. The school board approved an abatement incentive package that exempts the company from paying property taxes for 15 years on a planned manufacturing facility in Lake Township at the intersection of State Rt. 795 and Tracy Road. In lieu of the property taxes, First Solar is agreeing to pay the school district $898,000 annually for 15 years. Board members Krugh, Scott Swartz, John Ervin and Monica Leppelmeier voted in favor of the abatement and Brad Delventhal abstained during the special meeting to consider the company’s request. Jeff Carpenter, district treasurer, said the board held workshops in the winter to discuss the district’s financial situation and formed a consensus it would have been necessary to place a levy on the ballot this fall or next year. “No decision had been made to actually go on the ballot,” he said. “But based on projections we made it was obvious we were going to have to do something.” Carpenter said Lake schools and other districts are still feeling the effects of the state phasing out the tax on personal tangible property. With the abatement agreement, “Everybody wins; students, graduates. It’s not a zero sum game,” Krugh said.”The timing couldn’t be any better.” The annual payments from First Solar would be roughly equal to 3.6 mills in additional property taxes, according to figures compiled by Carpenter. For the owner of property with a valuation of $100,000, it would be the equivalent of paying about $126 a year.

Urban runoff project to reduce pollutants Continued from front page Walking path A walking path will be constructed around the project area to provide parklike recreational opportunities for the public who will be able to access the site. The path will include an overlook and park benches. A new parking lot is proposed at the north side of the project site. Parking lot runoff will be treated by a bio-retention cell before being discharged. Educational signage is planned to inform the public of the wetland system and native plantings. Bihn asked if the city conducts baseline water quality assessment tests after heavy rainfall near ditches and streams where major projects were completed to determine their success in drainage and water quality improvements. “I think it’s always interesting when we

do these projects. One thing that isn’t done is a before and after in terms of what the runoff actually is,” said Bihn. “It wouldn’t be expensive. It needs to be done after a heavy rain because that is when you get the rush of drainage into a creek. We need to see if it’s achieving what we hope it does.” Roman said testing is required as part of the grant. “We are required to show that we’ve improved drainage,” he said. “We do have data for Otter Creek that we’ve collected in the last 10 years. We’re probably the only community that got a baseline when the rules first came out to show we’re actually improving it.” “I think we do a great job in getting a baseline,” said Bihn. “But I also think that after a heavy rainfall, we don’t always go out. And that’s really when the surge comes, especially in the spring - and per-

haps in the fall as well. You can tell if your projects are really doing better or worse if you do it after a heavy rainfall.” Roman requested qualification statements from consultants to provide professional engineering services for preliminary and detail design of the project. In addition to the Mannik & Smith Group, Inc., professional consultants who submitted qualifications to the city include Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc.; DGL Consulting Engineers, LLC; Foth Companies; and Hull, Inc. “I interviewed the top two, and decided that the Mannick & Smith Group was the most qualified consultant for this project,” said Roman. “They are definitely more in tune to the area, as well as the project itself. During our discussion, they had many cost saving ideas for the design and the construction.”

Trustees approve abatement The Lake Township trustees also held a special meeting Monday in the middle school media center to vote on the abatement agreement and unanimously approved it. First Solar plans to build a 1-million-square-foot plant that will cost about $400 million where it will produce its thin film photovoltaic module. The company expects the facility will employ 500 workers. Wade Gottschalk, executive director of the Wood County Economic Development Commission, said the Penta County Career Center school board has also signed an abatement agreement. Lake Township residents Arlyn and Sue Brinker questioned whether the township would derive any benefit from the agreement while burdening the township budget for services when the plant is up and running. “The township is a 15-year loser on this thing. We’re underwriting them,” Arlyn said. He noted the township isn’t receiving any funding under the agreement that could be used for police and fire service or roads. Gottschalk said First Solar employees would be paying sales and gas taxes that would help county and local coffers. Richard Welling, a trustee, said the jobs created by First Solar would have a spin-off benefit for the local economy. Overall, people move to their work,” he said. “They’ll be buying a house and supporting local businesses. It will be a benefit to everybody.” Abatement agreements are made possible by the state’s enterprise zone program, which provides real and personal property tax exemptions to businesses making investments in Ohio. The enterprise zone where First Solar proposes to build covers property in the townships of Lake, Perrysburg, Troy and Middleton as well as the Village of Haskins.

The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency has issued a permit to Mlynek to use the property as a transfer station for the leaves but the township can decide whether or not the owner has met requirements for stormwater controls and buffers, according to an opinion from Phil Dombey, township solicitor. Mlynek said he and his son cleaned up the parcels after buying them. At the time, the Wood County auditor’s website listed the parcels as commercial, he said. He said he’s been accepting leaves from Lake Township and other communities for years without charging a disposal fee. Joe Zemenski, a Bailey Road resident, said the composting process begins while the leaves are still piled on the site, causing odors and other problems Ohio law allows for a vote by township residents on the modifications to the zoning request through the referendum process.

In addition, the Wood County Planning Commission in December recommended rezoning half of the two parcels to B-2 and leave the other half R-2, he said. The nonbinding recommendation called for the half fronting Woodville Road to be rezoned to B-2 and the portion along Bailey Road to remain R-2. “Should you ignore the recommendations of the Wood County Planning Commission and your own zoning commission?” Parker said. Mlynek’s attorney, Brian Ballenger, told the trustees the county’s recommendation was impractical for the site especially with setback requirements in the zoning code. Ballenger said the parcels have been taxed as commercial property since at least 1995. “We’re just asking for a fair shake,” Ballenger said, noting there are many businesses along Woodville Road next to residences.

ALLERGIES • NEUROPATHIES

The Lake Township trustees have agreed to a request to rezone two parcels covering 2.3 acres along Woodville Road from R-2 residential to B-2 general commercial but included two stipulations. Jim Mlynek, who owns Woodville Road Nursery, sought the zoning change. He is using the parcels to temporarily store leaf piles before composting them at his nursery on the other side of Woodville Road. The trustees Tuesday voted 2-1 in favor of rezoning the parcels after trustee Ken Gilsdorf proposed modifying the request to stipulate that Mlynek be required to construct an earthen mound at least 4 feet high with trees along the perimeter of the western side of the property that abuts Bailey Road residences. Also, Mlynek would have to agree to not place an access road from

Bailey to the parcels. Gilsdorf and trustee Jeff Pettit approved the request but Richard Welling voted against. After the hearing, Welling said future boards of trustees and the zoning office will still be “saddled” with complaints from residents about odors and drainage issues. The trustees’ meeting room was packed with residents – many of them Bailey Road residents opposing the change in zoning. A petition bearing the signatures of about 60 residents against the zoning change was presented to the trustees. Jerry Parker, the attorney representing Bailey Road residents, told the trustees it would be inappropriate to have B-2 zoning along a residential area. He said there would be more than 320 feet of commercially-zoned property fronting the residences with the zoning change and he reminded the trustees that the township zoning commission has twice recommended against changing the zoning.

City Council

Oregon OKs bids for road improvements By Kelly J. Kaczala News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon City Council on Monday accepted bids from three contractors for the 2018 Roadway Improvement Program. The three will share in the work, according to Public Service Director Paul Roman. Council approved the bids of Bowers Asphalt & Paving, Inc., Quinn Concrete Construction, and Henry W. Bergman, Inc. The total cost of the project is $1,293,508. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each had the lowest and best bid for the project,â&#x20AC;? said Roman. The project will include asphalt overlay, concrete repair, South Shore Park road improvements, Navarre Avenue resurfacing, and various pavement repairs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of base repair. We had a harsh winter,â&#x20AC;? said Roman. Oregon council authorized Roman to take bids for the project on January 18, 2018. Bids were received and opened on May 3. The project was included in the Capital Improvement budget for this year. Added to the list was repaving a section of Navarre Avenue. It had been part of a recent joint project with Toledo, which did not extend beyond a railroad underpass on Navarre Avenue, according to Roman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Toledo would not go any further east. We asked them to do that, but environmentally there are certain limits to that project, and they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that area under the bridge. It left a small area that would be unpaved. So we added it to our roadway project that will cover that,â&#x20AC;? said Roman. Councilwoman Sandy Bihn said residents living between Bay Shore Road and the Bay asked her at a South Shore Park meeting whether their streets were on the list of the roadway improvement program this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They thought they were. But there is nothing on here I see between Bay Shore and the Bay. All of these projects seem to end at Bay Shore Road as they go south to Grisell,â&#x20AC;? said Bihn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So they seem to go in other directions. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the status of

these roads. Maybe someone can check it out so I can respond to them.â&#x20AC;? She asked Roman if they were scheduled for next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roadway improvement program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very possible,â&#x20AC;? said Roman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did do some roads in previous years where we did waterline replacements and so on. But these roads that are listed this year are definitely in need and definitely were the highest priority. There are a lot of roads in the South Shore Park area [on the list]. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite a bit. Half of the program is in that area.â&#x20AC;? Roman said one of the projects in the South Shore Park area is the pavement of the walking path between Bay Shore Road and the Bay. Councilman James Seaman said nearly half a million dollars funding this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roadway improvement program is in the South Shore Park and Bay Shore Road area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you take in the walking path, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s close to half a million dollars for that section of the city, when you add it all up,â&#x20AC;? said Seaman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of money. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always something more that needs to be done, so I understand what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re saying Mrs. Bihn.â&#x20AC;? Bowers Asphalt & Paving, Inc., of Walbridge, will receive $1,114,270 to do asphalt overlay of the following roads: â&#x20AC;˘Aldershot Lane, from Ashcroft Drive to Lilias Drive; â&#x20AC;˘Ashcroft Drive, from Bay Shore Road to Seaford Drive; â&#x20AC;˘Blanche Drive from Bay Shore Road to Wildhurst Lane; â&#x20AC;˘Boxelder Road, from South Shore Boulevard to Plympton Circle; â&#x20AC;˘Colchester Road, from Ashcroft Drive to Seaford Drive; â&#x20AC;˘James Road, from Plympton Circle to Lagundovie Road; â&#x20AC;˘Lilias Drive, from Bay Shore Road to James Road; â&#x20AC;˘Seaford Drive, from Ashcroft Drive to Lagundovie Road; â&#x20AC;˘Sugarbush Road, from Ashcroft Drive to Grisell Road; â&#x20AC;˘Wildhurst Lane, from Ashcroft Drive

Value of gold? Doesn’t compare to the value of soil Fresh Country Air

by Matt Reese

“

We restored the soil really fast, much faster than I would have guessed from the research I had done on ancient civilizations.

“

In terms of civilization, it is more valuable than gold. The soil is the foundation for food and stability required for organized, structured society. Without good, productive soils, everything else starts to erode away. The loss of productive soil is a sad tale that shows up over and over throughout the history of mankind. This repeated trend throughout the earth’s millennia of agriculture intrigued David Montgomery, a geologist at the University of Washington in Seattle, who spoke at the Conservation Tillage and Technology Conference in March. “As a geologist I started looking at soils and studied erosion around the world. A decade ago I got really interested in how soil erosion affected ancient civilizations. That culminated in a book that looked at the role of soil degradation in the decline of ancient civilizations. There is a depressing component to that because you see the same story play out in society after society. Societies that degraded their land didn’t prosper in the long run. You can look at places like Syria or Libya as modern examples of places that degraded their land to the extent that it compromised their descendants greatly in terms of their prosperity and stability,” Montgomery said. “Then my wife and I bought a house in north Seattle that came with a yard with dirt — not much in the way of soil. It had an old growth Seattle lawn with six inches of tangled roots. We pulled that lawn off to make a garden and we didn’t find a single worm. It was dead dirt. We embarked on an attempt to bring life back to the soil to make a garden.” In the small-scale urban backyard project, Montgomery and his wife had surprising success in rebuilding their soil with the addition or organic matter, increasing biological diversity and minimizing soil disturbance. “We restored the soil really fast, much faster than I would have guessed from the research I had done on ancient civilizations. Nature takes a long time to make an

According to University of Washington geologist David Montgomery, “Nature takes a long time to make an inch of soil, but we can do it much faster by taking advantage of our ability to bring organic matter in to enhance what nature would take a long time to do.” (Photo provided by Metro Creative Graphics) inch of soil, but we can do it much faster by taking advantage of our ability to bring organic matter in to enhance what nature would take a long time to do. We wrote a book about that experience and the parallels between what microbial activity does in the soil to help plants and what happens in the human gut. They are kind of like the same system. Then I was left wondering if we could do that same thing on a global scale on farms around the world,” Montgomery said. “I took some time off of teaching at the University of Washington

Get a loan from the post office? By Brian Wakamo Millions of Americans live in “banking deserts,” without adequate access to brick and mortar banks and the services they provide. Rural and poor communities, where local banks left town thanks to the recession or the big banks buying them out, are especially affected. Often it’s risky payday lenders who come along to fill the void. They exploit America’s 88 million “underbanked” people, making ridiculous profits by charging sky-high interest rates on people just trying to survive paycheck to paycheck. In some places, annual interest rates for these lenders average over 500 percent. That badly hamstrings low-income people with fees and interest payments, all because they lack simple banking services. The practice is especially predatory toward people of color. The recession shuttered around half of all black-owned banks, leaving black Americans over 100 percent more likely to use a payday lending service than white people, according to a Pew Charitable Trust survey. But the problem is also rampant in white, Hispanic, and Native rural communities. The National Community Reinvestment Coalition estimates that most of the over 6,000 bank branches closed between 2008 and 2016 were in rural areas. It’s despicable, and it needs to change. One solution could come from your friendly neighborhood post office. What if you could get a low-interest loan there, rather than an extortionate payday loan from a for-profit payday loan company? Postal banking used to be widespread. Now it could be coming back. New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand recently announced a bill to reintroduce the practice, aiming to put the post offices scattered throughout the country for a broader use: providing banking to the unbanked. The bill would allow postal banks to make loans of up to $1,000 at low interest rates, cash people’s paychecks free of charge, and provide other basic services such as checking accounts. The idea, long touted by progressive senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and many local activists, would give millions of Americans a service long

Guest Editorial excluded from their communities. It’s “a solution to take on payday lenders, to take on the problems that the unbanked have all across the country,” Gillibrand has said. It would also tackle the banking industry writ large. Big banks often refuse to open branches in poor or minority areas, and the few banks still around shutter thanks to industry consolidation and online banking. None of this is due to a lack of profits or money — banks are saving billions thanks to the Republican tax reform. Instead, it’s a larger, conscious choice by these banks. Postal banking would provide essential banking services throughout these banking deserts, reaching out to people who struggle to make it day-to-day without something as mundane as a debit card. It also provides an alternative to the shady tactics used by banks to lure in customers and make record profits. Wells Fargo famously encouraged employees to open up false accounts in their customers’ names to boost the corporate bottom line. Major banks have also helped payday lenders siphon money out of customers’ accounts automatically, so the lenders can get their own payday. And, of course, predatory banking practices were one of the catalysts of the financial crisis. Americans deserve better options than banking with these wolfish institutions. Getting trapped in a payday loan cycle badly hurts their ability to get past living paycheck-to-paycheck. An opportunity to break that cycle is badly needed. Postal banking would succeed in fracturing an industry that works so hard to keep on exploiting hardworking Americans. It would also help under-served communities get on their feet.

in Seattle to visit farmers around the world who had already restored fertility to their land. I brought a shovel with me and said, ‘What’d you do? What did you start with and what do you have now? Can we dig a hole here and at your neighbor’s place?’ I was really impressed how rapidly some farmers had been able to restore fertility to their land and how much they had been able to reduce their use of fertilizers and pesticides. No-till was a sort of foundation for re-building soil health.” The crucial role of reducing and eliminating tillage initially surprised Montgomery. “What do you think of in terms of icons for agriculture? The plow. It is on the seal of the USDA — Thomas Jefferson’s plow is still there. Societies throughout history have relied on it. The idea that plowing could degrade soil over the long run is a little counter intuitive but it is pretty solid in terms of causing soil erosion. If you till the soil you are leaving it vulnerable to the wind and the rain until the next plant comes up. If you do that for generations it can really add up,” Montgomery said. “I found three simple principles that were in common among

the farmers who had reversed the trend of ancient soil degradation and rebuilt the fertility of the land. The principles are: ditch the plow, cover up with cover crops, and grow a diversity of crops, whether in the cash crops or cover crops. Some of the farmers I visited with were growing corn, soybeans and wheat and adding diversity with cover crops in between. They had all greatly reduced fertilizers and pesticides while maintaining yields, which increases farmer profits. I view rebuilding soil health as the best long-term investment a farmer can make but it can also pencil out over the short run too. We are starting to learn about the role of soil life bacteria and fungi in plants and crops. They can help rebuild soil health at a pace that, as a geologist I find quite fast.” Montgomery’s first popular book, “Dirt,” was a fairly grim look at how erosion undermined ancient civilizations around the world. The follow up “Growing a Revolution: Bringing Our Soil Back to Life,” is more of a good-news environmental story. Montgomery’s most recent book, “The Hidden Half of Nature,” cowritten with his wife, Anne Biklé, looks at the power of microbes in the soil and in human health.

Hamburger Harry’s, 741 E. Broadway, about 1949

Harry Wier began selling hamburgers in 1936 at 718 E. Broadway. As his business grew, he soon built this familiar building just north of Navarre Avenue where he sold steak burgers for 35 cents and Dipsy-Dogs for by Larry Michaels 10 cents.The cheeseburgers were delicious. It became Pete’s Drive-In in 1949 and closed in 1970. Recently, before a repainting, the old Hamburger Harry’s sign could still be seen on the front of the building.

Dear Graduate

Inspiration to help you discover your place in this world We recently learned that President Donald Trump uses the term “fake news” to disparage news about his administration that he just doesn’t like. That’s a far cry from what most of us believe the term means-- fabricated content packaged as news. “Fake news” will move into our lexicon with its alternative meaning just like “cool, “neat” and “rad”. Our hold on reality can slip when such words can be twisted, their meaning expanded. But, words are alive, meanings can change over time. Some words strung together in a phrase can have little meaning to one person while inspiring another. Here’s hoping one of these class mottos speaks to you as you embark on your journey to discover yourself and your place in this world. 8) Oak Harbor: Together we have experienced life. Separately, we will pursue our dreams. Forever, our memories will remain. (Anonymous). The important sentence here is the one about pursuing your dream separately. You need to make your dream your own, driven by the passion you have for it. Don’t get sidetracked in someone else’s dream. It’s easy to do. 7) Eastwood, Northwood: Our lives are before us, our past is behind us, our memories are forever within us. (Unknown). True. But, write it down. Take selfies. Cultivate friends. You will need these

Page Two by John Szozda to access some of the memories you never thought you would forget. 6) Woodmore: Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. (Ralph Waldo Emerson). Don’t get nervous when you blaze your own trail. There will be obstacles and failures and dead ends. Expect them. Don’t get concerned when you follow the well-worn path for a while. There is much to learn from others and their journeys. 5) Lake: I am ready to face any challenges that are foolish enough to face me. (Dwight Schrute). A top salesperson in the television sitcom The Office, Dwight Schrute exudes the confidence you will need to achieve your dreams. Be careful though, there is a fine line between confidence and bravado. One is the trait of a leader, the other the hot air of a paper tiger. 4) Gibsonburg: What feels like the end

is often the beginning. (Unknown) There will be ends—to jobs, to careers, to relationships. But, you can pick up from those ashes the embers of lessons learned and spark a new beginning. 3) Genoa: You will have failures in your life, but it is what you do during those valleys that will determine the heights of your peaks. (Rahm Emanuel) Failure is a training ground for success. Start again with the knowledge you acquired. Don’t mope, don’t whine, don’t quit. Take the first step to reach that next peak. 2) Waite: Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning to dance in the rain. (Vivian Greene). There’s joy to be found in the struggle, reassurance in the sharing of difficult times and satisfaction in performing admirably in the dark times. The storm can replenish and nourish. Dance, dance, dance. 1) Cardinal Stritch: It always seems impossible until it’s done. (Nelson Mandela). You learned your ABCs. You learned your numbers. You made the team. Don’t believe you can’t do it, believe you haven’t done it yet and take the first step to tackle that impossible task with your eyes open and your mind engaged. Each step you take will bring you closer to turning the impossible into reality.

Beware of the ripple effect stemming from your actions Your actions have a far more reaching impact than you realize. Even small, seemingly insignificant actions may have a long-term impact. It’s just like what happens when a small stone is tossed into a calm pond; ripples radiate out for quite a distance. We are not always cognizant of the farreaching effect of our actions. Often, we act without fully thinking through the ripple effect we are initiating. This ignorance creates a swirling vortex which appears out of our control, even though we initiated it. Unfortunately, it seems as if negative behavior creates more of a ripple effect than other actions. When you make a mistake, a cascading effect ensues. Each resulting problem spawns new problems. This is a very frustrating situation. However, you can use the power of the ripple effect to your advantage. Any positive action has the potential of initiating this process. Helping another person is a great way to start. You can offer to assist with solving a problem or offer encouragement. The way parents interact with their children offers clear examples of both positive and negative ripple effects. When a parent puts down a child by telling them they are stupid, no good, incapable, or that they won’t amount to anything; the child tends to believe it. As such, their mind is programmed to achieve the outcome predicted by their parent. As they subconsciously seek to fulfill these negative objectives, their behavior

Dare to Live by Bryan Golden radiates accordingly. Surveys of convicted criminals serving jail time have found that many of the prisoners were told by a parent that they were no good and would wind up in jail. On the other side of the spectrum are people who encourage their children through love, praise, and assistance. These parents teach by example, have high standards for themselves and their children, and strive to teach rather than condemn. People treat others the way they themselves have been accustomed to being treated. Therefore, their experiences growing up are carried forward into their adult years. This process exemplifies the ripple effect. Each person’s experiences radiate outward throughout their lives, affecting the many others they come into contact with. As evidence, many abusive adults were themselves abused as children. Therefore, it’s imperative that children be treated as the blank slates they are. You always want to treat children in a positive, loving fashion. The way you interact with children begins a ripple effect for the rest of their lives.

The manner of your interaction with adults also has the power to start a ripple effect. How you treat someone in the morning may have a strong influence of how the rest of their day progresses. Having a rude encounter with someone at the start of your day may put you in a foul mood which lasts for hours. As you are then subsequently short with others, they in turn have the same impact on those they encounter. This is how bad behavior ripples out. Conversely, being kind and considerate to a person who has been having a bad day, can brighten their mood, putting them on a more positive track for the remainder of their day. As their mood improves, their positive energy radiates out to all of the people they come into contact with. Before you act, think about the ripple effect you will be starting. Always treating others with courtesy, respect, and consideration, makes you a positive ripple generator. Act morally and ethically in everything you do. Every simple act of kindness, such as holding open a door, letting another driver merge in front of you, or helping someone carry groceries to their car, starts a positive ripple effect.

Pet precautions To the editor: At least five animals have died already this year due to heatrelated 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 tipproof 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. Lindsay Pollard-Post Norfolk, Va.

Published third week of month.

The Eagle’s Nest set to reopen around Memorial Day By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com Just in time for ice cream season, the Eagle’s Nest Sweet Retreat, located at 16 S. Stadium Road, Oregon, has been purchased by Laura and Tracey Merrithew, of Toledo. The two hope to open by the end of the month. The Eagle’s Nest was designed, built, and owned by Diane Lynn Masserant, who opened her business in 2005. Masserant passed away in 2016. The restaurant has sat idle for the last two years. Laura, a former stay-at-home mother, and Tracey, formerly of the Lucas County Coroner’s Office, are hoping to breathe life back into the much-loved Oregon ice cream and pizza institution. “From what we have heard, Diane was the life and breath of the place,” Laura said. “She really made the restaurant a success. We are hoping to continue working with the community. We hope to re-open the place by Memorial Weekend.” Laura said she has been hoping to own a business similar to Chuggie’s Ice Cream in East Toledo. Both she and Tracey thought about it, and finally decided to purchase the Eagle’s Nest after much thought and research. “We went there and liked what we saw,” Laura said. “We took baby steps and finally the time was right. It would have been stupid not to do it.” Laura said for a time, she and Tracey thought about changing the menu and the name. Then, well, Mother Nature stepped in. “We had thought about the name change,” she said. “We met our Realtor there for a photo and saw two bald eagles on the property. We just decided that the name had to remain.” Laura said there are several factors that may delay the opening by a week. Including repairing equipment that has sat idle for two years. “We are waiting for a final inspection from the health department as well,” she said. “Also, the POS (Point of Sale) system we purchased cannot be installed until the week after Memorial Day. We are trying to come up with a way to open and get around

Laura and Tracey Merrithew, shown with son Matthew, plan to open Eagle’s Nest Sweet Retreat in the coming weeks. (Photo by Matthew Kowalski) that.” The Eagle’s Nest will offer a similar menu as before. Pizza, hot dogs, grinders and both hand dipped and soft serve ice cream creations will be mainstays in the ice cream parlor. “We may expand the menu in the future, but for now, we will just add to the menu as we go,” Laura said. “We are going to offer pizza by the slice and a build your own pizza option. We will also offer pizzas like a Philly

Cheese Steak and a cheeseburger option.” Laura said if the kitchen has an item, you can request it on your pizza. “If you want Cheetos on it, we will do it,” she explained. “We are looking at ways to make things even more fun. We will also offer people the ability to rent the place for baby showers, etc., in the future.” Laura said her two children, Matt, a junior at Toledo Early College High School, and daughter, Molly, of Indianapolis, will also be

working to help keep the business a family affair. The Eagle’s Nest will be open from noon until 9 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday.

Like they have been invited to my home to eat. I want to keep and expand on that feeling Diane gave it.”

The cutest cat in the land Amy Driftmeyer’s “Zoey” took first place in the Cutest Cat in the Land Photo Contest held by Oak Harbor Library and Radiant Remodeling. “We really had fun with this and people really thought it was super cute,” said Martha Meyer, of Radiant Remodeling. “We had so many entries and all of them were great; I am so glad I wasn’t a Judge.” The library hung all the photo entries up and judges cast their votes. They included Dr. Michael Stone, Oak Harbor Veterinary Hospital; Lesa Heredia, Humane Society of Ottawa

County; Randy Genzman, Oak Harbor Village Administrator; Shirley Stary, vice president – arts programming, Lakeside Chautauqua and James Jordan, owner of Oak Harbor Distillery. In addition to Zoey, winners included Angel and Baby & Blue, with Whispy taking honorable mention. Winners received baskets full of treats for both the owner and the cat. “We have 3-D cat bookmarks for all who entered; just stop by the library and pick one up,” said Lina Hall, library director.

Aches and pains? Acupuncture may help what ails you By Melissa Burden Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com Sun, warmth, swimming, baseball and gardening. If the season also means back and joint pain as well as sports injuries, acupuncture may be a safe and cost-effective way to get rid of the aches and pain. According to Norman G. Zavela, M.D., F.A.A.M.A., acupuncture could be what the physician ordered. “Acupuncture can treat pain and relieve symptoms without medications,” Zavela said. “It is possible to get relief without the use of narcotics.” Zavela has been practicing acupuncture since 1996. He is a medical doctor who is board certiﬁed in Medical Acupuncture and Anesthesiology. He’s a member of the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture, American Society of Anesthesiology, Ohio Society of Anesthesiology, American Society of Regional Anesthesia, American Medical Association, Ohio State Medical Association and Toledo Academy of Medicine. Zavela, whose ofﬁce is currently in

Perrysburg, practiced in Oregon for several years. “I believe in Western medicine and Eastern medicine,” Zavela said. “The difference is Western medicine tends to treat everybody with a ‘condition’ the same way. The same treatments, the same medications. Eastern medicine tends to look at the patient and the patient’s particular needs. The treatment is individualized to the patient.” Acupuncture can be used to treat pain and to help heal acute injuries that can result in things like low back pain, sciatica, knee pain, osteoarthritis, tendonitis, sprains, strains, and tennis elbow, just to name a few. “It can also be used for issues that do not involve pain – asthma, depression, smoking cessation, appetite suppression,” he said. “Acupuncture can be tailored to the patient’s speciﬁc needs and the symptoms they are having.” Zavela said that acupuncture is particularly useful in resolving physical problems related to tension, stress and emotional problems. “It can also help with arthritis, worn out knees, rheumatoid arthritis, headaches and migraines,” he said. “We see people

with both diabetic neuropathy and neuropathy caused by chemotherapy drugs. I also work with patients after they have had surgery. Acupuncture can help with the healing process.” There are several types of acupuncture that can be used, he said. “The type we use would depend on what is it needed for,” he said. “The most important thing is to make sure you go to someone who is board certiﬁed. I have seen complications and injuries people have had after seeing a physical therapist or chiropractor who tried dry needling or other acupuncture on them.” Acupuncture is covered by some insurance companies, he said, but not all. “In most instances, acupuncture is very cost effective over the cost of being on medications long-term,” Zavela said. “In most cases, medication is not needed and there are less side effects and complications.” Dr. Z’s Acupuncture Clinic, Inc. is located at 3775 Truman Rd., Perrysburg.

Locals join Habitat for Humanity Women Build Week Volunteers from several local organizations joined Habitat for Humanity of Wood County for Women Build activities last week. National Women Build Week (NWBW) is a nationwide partnership with Lowe’s that supports Women Build programs in hundreds of communities across the nation. Lowe’s donated nearly $2 million this year to various Habitat for Humanity affiliates. Volunteers from Women in the Wind, Rudolph Libbe Group, Wells Fargo, Danberry and State Rep. Theresa Gavarone participated in Women Build by working on the build site of a Habitat home in Walbridge. Calvary Lutheran, St. Paul’s United Methodist and St. John’s Lutheran churches provided lunches for the volunteers. Future homeowner Danielle Bowles brought her sister and best friend to get involved with the construction of her new home. “I feel so blessed that I was able to participate in Women Build and to have met so many other women by my side,” Bowles said. “It was amazing.” As part of the NWBW grant, Habitat will be receiving money from Lowe’s to use for future builds in Wood County. “Women Build educates, inspires and empowers women to advocate for decent housing,” said Clara Maynard, Community Outreach Director. “We are so appreciative of Lowe’s for supporting not only our affiliate, but affiliates across the nation through this amazing program.”

Genoa

Owen’s Ark Veterinary Clinic breaks ground A groundbreaking was held April 11 for an expansion at Owen’s Ark Veterinary Clinic, Genoa. Crews went right to work. The practice opened as Village Veterinary Clinic in 1979 by Dr. Anthony Matthews, who ran the business until 2008, when Dr. Kelly M. Riedeman purchased it and changed the name to Owen’s Ark Veterinary Clinic LLC. Dr. Matthews continued to work at the clinic part-time for six years, when he decided to fully retire and enjoy more time with his family. “Since 2008, we have grown our small animal clinic into a three-doctor practice, and starting in 2016, we added large animals (farm animals and horses) to the mix,” Dr. Riedeman said.

Over the last four years, it became apparent that the clinic had outgrown the current building, which has two exam rooms, a surgery room, a treatment room that serves as a patient treatment area, a lab and dentistry area, and one 10 x 10 office that the three doctors share. “Our practice manager, Michelle Hofelich, uses an old table in the storage room for her office,” Dr. Riedeman said. “Our technicians see various appointments throughout the day – because the exam rooms are usually filled with doctor appointments, the techs have to take the pets to the back of the clinic away from their owners to do the treatments (laser treatments, blood draws, nail trims, etc.). “This is not how I like to run my business,” she said. “I want the owners to be

involved and see the care that their pet is getting, but we just do not have the space for that in this building.” The new building will have seven exam rooms for small animals as well as two stalls for large, farm animals. The first floor will have dedicated dentistry, surgery, ICU, radiology, isolation, large-animal procedure and stalls, a break room, cat ward, dog ward and lab areas, as well as an office for the practice manager. The second floor will house doctor’s offices and storage. “We are keeping the existing building, which looks like a small farmhouse, so we decided what better than a typical Midwest gambrel roofline red barn to go with the existing white house,” she said. Construction is projected to be finished near the end of the year

Dr. Riedeman credited the clinic’s “wonderful clients” and caring staff for Owen’s Ark’s continued growth. “We love what we do, and we love and treat our patients as if they were our own furry family members,” she said. “We have great relationships with our clients. Anna, our receptionist says, ‘You walk in as a client and walk out as family.’ Clients also appreciate the fear-free concepts that Owen’s Ark employs, to help change the way animals react to coming to the vet. “While it doesn’t work for every pet, the majority of our patients love coming to see us and getting filled up on treats and belly or ear scratches,” Dr. Riedeman said.

evoke certain moods and set the tone for the day. Some colors work beĆŠer together than others, so while choosing a color scheme may seem like an easy undertaking, some couples may ÄŽnd it requires more careful consideraĆ&#x;on than they ÄŽrst imagined. According to the bridal guide A PracĆ&#x;cal Wedding, wedding colors can give couples a starting-oÄŤ point for all of the other details of their weddings. This ensures the wedding ulĆ&#x;mately has a cohesive look. Colors need not necessarily match, but borrowing on similar hues can make it easier to plan wedding party wardrobes, Ĺ&#x2021;owers, table linens, and much more. Colors can come from anywhere, but many couples try to coordinate their color schemes with the season in which the wedding takes place. In fact, couples who are ÄŽnding it diÄ¸cult to decide on a paleĆŠe can look to seasonal colors for inspiraĆ&#x;on. For example, pastels and blooming Ĺ&#x2021;owers can set the scene for spring weddings, while jewel tones and rich reds and greens may be ÄŽĆŤng for winter ceremonies. Some couples opt for more loosely deÄŽned color paleĆŠes, such as neutral and natural colors. Country and garden weddings can borrow ideas from the landscape, with natural linens paired with wildĹ&#x2021;owers. Using whites, grays and beiges enables couples to add a pop of color without overwhelming the seĆŤng. Brides magazine suggests that couples avoid choosing too many colors. A maximum of three with one metallic can ensure that things look cohesive without being over-the-top. Also, brides and grooms neednâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel pressured by the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; colors of the moment. As with clothing and hairstyles, trends change. It is beĆŠer to select colors that will stand the test of Ć&#x;me and look good for years to come. Couples may have to incorporate colors already at their wedding venues into their style. Fortunately many recepĆ&#x;on sites are ouĆ&#x17E;iĆŠed in neutral tones to enable customizaĆ&#x;on. The wedding resource The Knot also says having a basic knowledge of the color wheel can help. Typically, colors that pair well together are those that are opposites on the color wheel. Also, colors that share proximity on the color wheel will have similar tones and play well together. Examples of opposite colors include purples and yellows, reds and greens, and oranges and blues. Couples should not be afraid to take some chances with their color paleĆŠes, especially if they want to make a bold and modern statement.

Ottawa County Senior Resources announce Hall of Fame recipients

• Sharon Arndt is an active member of the Elmore community. She has been active with the church, having served on the church council, as church secretary several times, treasurer, and deacon, as well as Bible Study, Honor Workers, and the Bells of St. John Choir. Her community involvement includes serving as head of the Salvation Army Angel Tree. The nomination states that Sharon is extremely compassionate and caring with everyone. She has faced many health challenges, including undergoing hip surgery last year. She loves to raise asparagus to sell to the community. She also has several chickens and sells eggs. She enjoys needlework and reading in her spare time. Sharon lives with her husband just outside the village where she raised one son. She is retired as a clerk for the village of Elmore Board of Public Affairs and has helped to welcome many new residents to the village. • Ruth and Ned Ammons are an active couple and regularly attend programs at the Genoa Senior Center. They often help members return dinnerware to the kitchen, help others get drinks and help with cleanup after the meals in preparation for the games and activities. They are longtime members of St. John’s UCC Church where they served as ushers and also helped with all the dinners. Ruth was also very active with the

preschool program. They are also longtime members of the American Legion and were instrumental in the development of the Veterans Memorial at the Clay Township Cemetery. Ned served several years on the Clay Township Board of Appeals and served 10 years as the deputy director of the Ottawa County Board of Elections. Ruth was active as a Genoa Band Booster, having three kids who were in the band. Ned also served as coach for his daughters’ ball teams during the summer. According to their nomination, their positive characteristics include their genuine care about others and compassionate manner shown to everyone. They truly enjoy the fellowship of others, especially at the senior center. They are also great entertainers and keep everyone laughing. In March, they celebrated 74 years of marriage with their Genoa Senior Center family. • Dean Whiteside, of Oak Harbor, served the community for many years as an Ottawa County Transportation Agency driver. He especially likes the senior day trips. He also delivered home-delivered meals for a number of years before retiring. He has volunteered for all senior events when working for OCTA and then came back to help with Senior Day at the booth. He was often the requested driver for senior center trips and events. His nomination notes that Dean has one of the biggest hearts possible and will go out of his way to make someone smile, offer advice and encouragement. Even after retiring, he has been known to stop in to OCTA and Senior Resources and brighten staff members’ day. As a young man, Dean enlisted in the Marines, where he served in the Vietnam War. While he survived the war, he was exposed to Agent Orange. Years later, he suffered from lung cancer, losing part of his lung before winning the battle. “He is the epitome of positive, he doesn’t care what age you are he treats everyone the same. Kids and adults look up to him and his blunt voice of reason. He doesn’t know how to quit no matter the challenge. The community is blessed to have him here with us,” the nomination says.

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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;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.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Romans 5: 2-4 NIV

Individual results may vary. There are risks associated with any surgical procedure including NAVIO-enabled Knee Replacement. NAVIO is not for everyone. Children, pregnant women, patients who have mental or neuromuscular disorders that do not allow control of the knee joint, and morbidly obese patients should not undergo a NAVIO procedure. Consult your physician for details to determine if NAVIO is right for you. ™Trademark of Smith & Nephew.
