Therapeutic partnership Rebirth,

West End celebrate Curley Pastor remembered for mission, ministry

By ANGIE ADAIR ZAM Editor The congregation at Rebirth Community Church and the surrounding community will use this weekend to remember and celebrate a man who brought them together and fought for something better. Pastor Brian Curley, who died CURLEY suddenly on Christmas Eve, will be honored Friday, Saturday and Sunday during Founder’s Weekend.

“I’m sure this weekend will be emotional for some,” said Tony Calloway, the new pastor at Rebirth. “It’s a time of reflection.”

But the weekend also serves as a time of celebration that Curley’s mission and ministry live on.

He founded the church and had a major part in kicking off the revitalization efforts under way in the neighborhood historically known as Erie Gardens. The United Way and city officials partnered with Curley — and continue to work with the West End Association — to address issues in the neighborhood like minor vandalism, trash, dilapidated buildings, drugs and landlord issues.

“Every time we meet we’ve got something new

Riders Unlimited offers equine-assisted activities and therapies to people with disabilities.

All involved report benefits from alliance between Riders Unlimited and Ottawa County’s Board of DD Sam looks forward to riding his horse all week long and one day a week he rides high in the saddle just like the actor he admires, John Wayne. Quest, a quarter horse mare, and Sam have built a trusting relationship. If Sam is not feeling well, Quest gently and calmly waits for Sam to get in and out of the saddle.

Lyle has developed a very close relationship with Sweetie, a quarter horse mare. Lyle’s self esteem has improved since he began working with the horse.

Michael has been riding for about three years, and loves the horse, Sprite.

Michael, who has cerebral palsy, has improved his balance and muscle strength significantly since beginning to ride.

The therapeutic sessions that Sam, Lyle, Michael and others enjoy is thanks to a partnership of the Ottawa County Board of Developmental Disabilities and Riders Unlimited. The board provides the funding for at least seven of those it serves to take advantage of the services. Riders Unlimited offers equine-assisted activities and therapies to people with disabilities. The therapeutic benefits of riding through natu-

These benefits abound while riders are simply having a good time.

“You forget about what you can do and you go beyond your limits,” said Board of DD Superintendent Melinda Slusser. “The sense of joy and pride … you wouldn’t see with normal therapies.”

According to Slusser, the equine therapy can be beneficial for people with many kinds of disabilities from seizure disorders and muscular dystrophy to Down Syndrome.

Horses provide many therapeutic

benefits and there are many physiological and psychological benefits documented in people during interactions with animals. These include lowered blood pressure and heart rate, increased beta-endorphin levels, decreased stress levels, reduced feelings of anger, hostility, tension and anxiety, improved social functioning and increased feelings of empowerment, trust, patience and self-esteem.

But according to Slusser, “it’s just plain fun.”

And that goes for the volunteers too.

Bobbi Beck, Slusser’s secretary and family support specialist for the Board of DD, volunteers one day a week for the program helping to ready the horses, assist during the therapy, clean stables and feed the animals at the end of the night.

Sound Off Thank you Our heartfelt thanks to all of you for your help with the 2nd Annual Mary Ann Market Memorial bake sale at Waterline Shop last weekend. Through your generosity--whether you baked, bought, helped to sell, gave monetary donations, or just offered encouragement-----we were able to raise $793 ! We heard many favorable comments from our “customers” who appreciated the “goodies” and there were even those who were asking for the recipes!! $693 was sent to St. Paul’s Episcopal Church Food Pantry on Put-in-Bay, and $100 was sent to the St. Vincent de Paul food pantry in Port Clinton. We were happy with the success we had and look forward to doing this event again next year! (possibly with locations at Catawba & Put-in-Bay).

Sincerely, The Employees of Miller Boat Line

BCS administrators take voluntary pay freeze During a special meeting on July 12, the board approved a resolution to freeze the salary base for all the administrators for the 2011-2012 school year. This decision is in direct response to the current financial situation of the school district.

“During these tough economic times everyone needs to do what they can,” said Superintendent Diane Kershaw. “The administrators’ volunteering to freeze their salaries is the right thing to do.”

Following are the other business actions taken by the board at the special meeting: • Approved Eric Sweet as Boys Varsity Basketball Coach • Approve d the resignation of Candy Bensch as Middle School Guidance Secretary for the purpose of retirement

after 14 years of service • Approved Megan Damschroder as a certified substitute teacher for the 2010-2011school year.

• Approved the Elementary, Middle and High School Handbooks for the 20112012 school year.

• Approved the following lunch prices for the 2011-2012 school year: Elementary — $2.05, middle school — $2.30, high school — $2.30, adult lunch — $2.80, uice and milk will remain the same — $.50 and breakfast prices will remain the same at all schools — $1.25.

The board then went into executive session to discuss personnel. The next board meeting is being held on July 27th at 6 p.m. at the Board of Education Office.

Workers continue progress on the Building D renovation.

Allied health, music and art students will find impressive new facilities when they arrive on campus at Terra State Community College in August.

The Terra College Foundation is working hard to make sure the newly-renovated Building D is fully equipped with the most up-to-date equipment and that students have scholarship opportunities.

To that end, the Foundation has launched a fundraising campaign, Investment in Education. So far, the total raised is $401,903 of the $700,000 goal.

About $500,000 will be used to support the two major academic areas – nursing and allied health and fine and performing arts – that will be located in Building D. The other $200,000 will be directed to scholarships.

“The needs are so great for the new facilities, but with our enrollment growth in the past three years, the need to support our students with scholarships is

Bowling Green State University Firelands College will be closing for several days in August to facilitate the upgrade and improvement of the main electrical lines and infrastructure serving all campus buildings.

The campus will be completely closed Aug. 5-7 and Aug. 12-14. During these periods the campus buildings will be without power while the new main lines and equipment are connected. For safety reasons, students, college employees and guests will not be permitted on campus.

The electrical upgrade project began in early June with work being completed on the feeder lines from the road leading to the buildings and will culminate with the August connections to the individual buildings.

The new electrical lines replace the original cabling that was installed when the campus was first constructed in 1967.

The original lines have become unreliable

“We want to address both needs with this campaign.”

One donation avenue with this campaign is naming rights for the new building. Several rooms and studios have been selected but many remain.

“Having your name or that of a loved one on a studio or lab is a very visible way of showing support for our students and their education,” said Dr. Marsha S. Bordner, Terra’s President.

College officials are planning for the new building to be ready for students on Aug. 22, the first day of fall semester. A grand opening is being planned for Sept.

The end does not justify the means In this age when spiritual foundations are considered by some to be irrelevant to real life situations and when moral relativism seems to be the primary guide for many people, we may need to remind ourselves that for all of us one of the ways education takes place, both inside and outside of school, is through repetition.

Repeat something often enough or have it repeated to us often enough and soon we claim it as our own — a part of our

storehouse of information.

The problem with repetition as a tool of education is that it isn’t necessarily a very discriminating tool. We can learn fact or fiction with this tool – it works as well with either.

Take the expression “The end justifies the means” as an example. We’ve heard people — probably ourselves included — use that phrase as a justification for any number of actions. It is an oft-repeated phrase and has been given a high degree of credibility just because we’ve heard it so often.

The Cookie Lady I even had someone tell me it is a quote from The 1871 NE Catawba Rd. Holy Bible. It isn’t. One (Midway Plaza) reason you won’t find it in 419-797-9426 The Bible is because the www.cookie-lady.com phrase is not true — at least in the sense in which most Cookies, Cut-Outs, Danish, Coffee Cakes, people use it.

Brownies, Lemon Bars The “end” is our goal or goals — our objectives in Hours: Thurs, Fri. & Sat 8-4 • Sunday 8-12 life, sometimes our most wishful thinking. “Means” Senior Citizen are the things we use to reach our goals and objectives or what we use to 55 & older strive after those things which we wishfully 1st Thursday of Every Month of think. As the philosopher Milovan Dijilas once wrote FREE Small Ice Cream Cone “Throughout history at Drown’s Dairy in Oak Harbor there have been no ideal ends which we attained Sponsored by: with non-ideal, inhumane means. Nothing so well reveals the reality and greatness of ends as the methods used to obtain them.” He’s right – and not only about the larger movements and thrusts of history – but in individual and family “ends” as well.

We live our lives in the “means.”

100th rehab patient discharged from Riverview Ottawa County Riverview HealthCare Campus is celebrating it’s 100th discharged rehab patient this year. Bruce Perry has just completed a successful stay at the Campus completing his rehab.

Perry hails from the Oak Harbor area and is the only child of Alfred and Loretta Perry, former owners of the Red & White store on the corner of Benton Carroll Road and Ohio 2. When Perry was 5, his parents sold the store and bought a farm.

He attended Rocky Ridge school through the eighth grade and went to high school at Salem Oak Harbor High School where he fell in love his senior year with Judy Felder. They married in the fall of 1963, a few months after graduation.

Perry helped his father farm and took over all of the farming duties when his father died about 10 years later. He said that

it was very difficult to run the farm alone.

His wife Judy helped him when time permitted her to, but she was busy with the couple’s four children by this time. Since farming was challenging by himself, Perry decided to his hand at truck driving. This move was encouraged by his father-in-law, Ray Felder, who owned his own trucking company at that time. Perry went on to haul steel for the next 25 years until his retirement in 2001. He worked for several trucking companies.

Keeping his promise to himself of “Returing on the Golf Course,” Bruce and Judy sold their home in Oak Harbor and built a new one on the border of the Oak Harbor Golf Club and he has spent six to seven days a week golfing ever since.

Bruce complimented Riverview’s staff on a job well done.

Dr. Harold Brown hasn’t played the piano since he was a child, and neither has his wife, Terra State Community College President Dr. Marsha S. Bordner. But future music students at Terra will forever relate them to the ivories.

The Port Clinton couple has donated $10,000 for the naming rights to the piano lab in the new Arts and Health Technologies Center, which is slated to open with the start of fall semester on Aug. 22.

The Bordner/Brown Piano Lab will house six to eight pianos where students will study keyboard skills required of all music majors, and provide a resource for students to practice and develop compositions and song writing requirements.

“There is no more important investment for our nation, our state, and for our local community than education,” Bordner said. “In this instance, Harold and I wanted to show our commitment to the arts and to the many ways that they enrich the life of the region Terra serves.”

As part of its Investment in Education campaign, the Terra College Foundation is offering naming rights for the new building, the fine and performing arts and the nursing and allied health wings, and various labs, classrooms and studios throughout the building Several areas have already been selected but others remain.

Lakeside Federation of Women’s Club holds 117th Convention

Camp Perry Maintenance Shop earns prestigious certification The Field Maintenance Shop 17 at the Camp Perry Joint Training Center recently achieved the prestigious ISO 9001:2008 certification.

“The achievement of ISO certification reflects the leadership at Camp Perry and the dedication of everyone in the field maintenance shop,” said Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur. “Winning internationallyrecognized certification is a clear testament to the quality of the work being performed at Camp Perry. We thank everyone at the base for their service to our nation and for a job well done.”

ISO 9001:2008 is a quality standard established by the International Organization for Standardization, which for more than half a century has encouraged consistent quality of goods and services worldwide. ISO certification provides a process to measure organizational performance and continual improvement. ISO certification thus recognizes an organization’s commitment to overall quality.

The field maintenance shop’s quest for ISO certification dates back more than a

year and a half. In November 2009, Col. Michael W. McHenry, who then served as deputy chief of staff of logistics for the Ohio Army National Guard, designated Field Maintenance Shop 17 as only the Ohio Army Guard maintenance facility to seek ISO certification.

McHenry, who has since been promoted to brigadier general and serves as commander of the Special Troops Command, launched an ambitious plan to achieve certification within 12 months. Master Sgt. Dennis Lidke and the maintenance shop staff embraced the goal, passed a comprehensive audit and received a recommendation for certification on their first attempt.

Kaptur, a member of the House Appropriations Committee, has been a strong supporter of the Camp Perry facility. She has secured federal funds to construct new modern barracks and classroom facilities at the base, an improved water delivery system and alternative energy projects such as a solar power field.

Monument commemorates 226th anniversary of the birth of Oliver Hazard Perry Ready to party like it’s 1812? Join us at Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial on Aug. 20-21 for a celebration in honor of an American hero. Commodore Perry, commander of American naval forces in the Battle of Lake Erie, demonstrated unparalleled strength of character and bravery worthy of remembrance. In a time of great adversity, Perry’s exceptional leadership allowed American troops to claim triumph over the British in one of the most significant navel victories in U.S. history.

Come to Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial to learn more about this incredible historic figure through a special tour of his life as presented by a costumed Perry interpreter. This tour will take the visitor through the Perry’s Victory grounds and through time stopping in several War of 1812 period stations including a historic cooking demonstration, cannon demonstration, medical tent and black powder musket demonstration. The tour will include stories of the life of Perry, his crewmates and civilians of the time period. The Perry tour will begin every hour on the hour between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. at the Perry’s Victory Visitor Center back porch.

Celebratory events will include fun and educational activities for adults and children alike. Everyone is encouraged to pull out their best historic threads to participate in the event and compete in our Historic Costume Contest on Saturday. There will be prizes for the most historically accurate and most creative costumes for both adults and children. In addition to our costume contest guests can also compete for a prize in our Perry lookalike Contest.

Judging for both contests will occur at 4:30 p.m. at the visitor center.

On Saturday, children can participate in the building of our cardboard replica fleet from 11a.m. to noon and from 1 to 2 p.m. and get their very own sailors temporary

Beck also credits the horses for seemingly sensing the needs of the participants.

“They are steadfast and loyal to those riders,” she said. “If the rider has a seizure or has trouble getting up, they stand their ground.”

The confidence and social skills the riders gain are just as important as the physical benefits.

“In a couple of them I can see it makes them more fluid. Their bodies just move easier, walk easier, stand up easier,” Beck said. “They don’t seem to have quite as

CURLEY from 1A to work on,” said Anton Jackson, the church’s representative at the association’s meetings.

Jackson, who also works as the church’s director of ministry outreach, said progress is visible throughout the neighborhood. There’s new playground equipment, community cleanups have been held and basketball court has been upgraded — something that will be put to good use this weekend with a three-onthree basketball tournament.

Other events include church services at 7 p.m. Friday and 10:30 a.m. Sunday and a rib cook-off and live entertainment Saturday.

“It’s always a celebration of community, about God and love,” said Jackson.

“Everything Pastor Brian Curley was all about.”’

Also this weekend will be the release of a book of Curley’s messages called “Rebirth: To a Life Worth Living.”

CANCER from 1A want to come and watch the ducks race around the Lazy River. Our sponsorship and many thanks go out to Monsoon Lagoon and the Miller Boat Line for their gracious donation of passes and to Northern Manufacturing, Snyder Group, Kasper Auto Group and all the local merchants who donated the gift certificates.

Following the Duck Drop at 3 p.m. will be the third annual Chemo Crawl. This is a great fundraising event held by seven downtown Port Clinton restaurants to raise money for the American Cancer Society.

From 3 to 8 p.m., participants visit the pubs for food and drink specials that benefit the cause. Starting at the OurGuest Inn & Suites at 220 E. Perry, you purchase a Crawl Card for $10 and a chemo crawl T-shirt and begin your adventure. You will visit McCarthy’s, Big

Riders Unlimited has purchased property outside Oak Harbor and is working to ready the property for full use. They are in need of either monetary donations or gift cards to stores for cleaning products, paint and furniture for the house portion of the property where a classroom is being planned. Anyone interested in donating or volunteering for the program can do so at www.ridersunlimited.org.

And according to Beck, spending time at Riders Unlimited will be time well spent.

“You get just as much back as you give, and then some.”

“It’s exhilarating to have your husband honored in such a loving way,” said Katherine Curley.

The pastor’s widow said the family is getting stronger every day since the sudden loss of Curley. He left behind not only Katherine, but children Sean Rivera and Demetrius and Brianna Curley.

“In order to overcome the loss of a good man, husband and father, I had to change my mind set,” Katherine explained. “The 15 years I had with him was a gift.

“When my attitude changed, that’s when joy and life came back to me. The church and community lifted me up daily,” she said.

That support will be even stronger this weekend.

During Pastor Calloway’s sermon Sunday morning at Rebirth, he said something that could be considered the motto of the weekend. “After all I’ve been through, I’ve still got joy.”

Financial Focus

Like the weather, hot investments can cool off

We’re in the “Dog Days” of summer – traditionally the hottest, steamiest time of year. But in a few weeks, the temperatures will begin to cool down. Nature isn’t alone in this heating-and-cooling pattern — you can also find evidence of it in the investment world. To be specific, today’s “hot” investments can lose their sizzle quickly — which means that, as an investor, you’ll need to take steps to avoid being left out in the cold.

An investment can become “hot” — that is, its price can shoot up — for any of a number of reasons. For example, a company that provides a well-known product or service may decide to “go public” by making its shares available to investors; when this happens, the stocks become “hot” for a while. An investment may also become hot if a favorable event occurs, as might be the case with a drug company that gains permission to sell a medicine that’s much in demand. And some investments heat up because an “expert” is touting them in the media.

But although different investments may get hot for different reasons, they all share one thing in common: They will cool off. In fact, by the

time you and many other investors hear about a hot stock, it may already be cooling off. If you buy into an investment that’s been hot for a while, you should recognize that its “upside potential” may not be what you think.

To help achieve your financial goals, you may be better off by not chasing after hot stocks. Instead, consider these ideas: • Increase share ownership. One key to building wealth is to increase the amount of shares you own in your investments. Hot stocks are often expensive stocks, so you may be limited in the number of shares you can purchase. As an alternative, look for quality investments that are trading at reasonable prices. You might also consider buying additional shares in quality companies you already own.

• Buy appropriate investments.

Even if you can afford to buy some shares in hot stocks, should you?

These stocks may not be suitable for your needs, for any number of reasons: too risky for your risk tolerance, too similar to other stocks you already own, and so on. You need to own investments that are appropriate for your individual needs. Of course, you also need to

keep in mind that any investment in stocks — whether hot or not — will fluctuate with changes in market conditions and may be worth more or less than your original investment when you sell.

• Diversify your holdings. By continually pursuing hot investments, you might end up with an unbalanced, non-diversified portfolio. By diversifying your holdings, you can help reduce the impact of volatility on your portfolio. However, diversification, by itself, cannot guarantee a profit or protect against loss.

• Think long term. Chasing hot stocks is strictly a short-term move.

Successful investors adhere to longterm strategies that require discipline, patience and a constant focus on the future.

By following these suggestions, you’re unlikely to experience the “thrill” of chasing after hot investments — but you will get the satisfaction of building a portfolio designed to help meet your important investment goals. nnn

Coaching toughness

Every coach, especially those who work with older kids, wants their players to be mentally and physically tough. As we enter the fall sports high school season, I’m urging coaches to be cautious about putting athletes through hard exercise during excessive heat in order to improve toughness.

The unquestioned belief about making athletes tougher used to be putting them through grueling conditioning and practice sessions. The more kids vomited or collapsed, the better it was. A lot of verbal (and sometimes physical) punishment was heaped on those who didn’t follow orders or didn’t stick it out and finish. It was thought that the players who survived would be proud and develop a camaraderie which made for great team spirit. The weak would quit and be weeded out.

If this sounds like training military recruits, you are correct. It was, and still is, how recruits were prepared to go into battle. Drill sergeants were justifiably feared. Often they were hated, which was the intent all along. The hate was a motivation to keep going and prove them wrong or gain the respect of their sarge.

When teams compete in sports, it is a form of going into battle. It’s not surprising that coaches adopted the same techniques for making players mentally and physically strong. (It’s a little known fact that one of the original reasons for having athletics in schools was to prepare young men for military service.)

Times have changed, however. Attitudes about how to treat young adults have changed. The drill sergeant coaching style is offensive to many parents and criminal to some. It also doesn’t work very well with today’s kids. Coaches are usually quick to use new ideas for drills and incorporate strategies successfully used by others. The old attitudes about conditioning and punishment have been slow to change, however.

A loud and clear message is being sent to all who want to coach youth sports. Kids have rights and it is our duty to protect our athletes from harm! It is definitely our responsibility not to hurt them through our own actions. We are increasingly facing liability lawsuits and protests from parents who believe their children are

being mistreated. Even winning coaches lose jobs due to people’s perception of players being mentally or physically being mistreated.

So what should coaches do? How can you create toughness without using extreme measures? The makeup of your team may determine what kind of coaching style you use. You can be a benevolent dictator who makes all the decisions, but runs a kid-friendly program. You can be a master motivator who sets the structure and rules, but gives the players ownership of their goals and development. You can run your program based on mutual respect and cooperation. These styles of coaching require more work and interaction than the drill sergeant style, but they will prove to be more effective. Positive coaching techniques work better than fear-based methods. Yes, fear can be a good motivator for a while, but the resentment it creates will lesson the results eventually.

If you run a kid-centered program, the players will be happier and therefore practice harder. They will spend extra effort to accomplish goals. They will buy into your value system when they know you care about them personally. Make no mistake about what I’m saying: this does not mean you relinquish leadership. You have high expectations. You enforce consequences for breaking rules. You lead your players into the battle, rather than push them from behind. This is YOUR team and it is an extension of you.

Today’s teens can amaze you with their loyalty and capabilities. They want to excel. Many have been used to taking the easy way out if things get tough. They may quit trying or act like they don’t care if they aren’t successful. Your encouragement and support is all they need to keep working. If you can help an athlete persevere at something hard and achieve success, you are teaching them to be tough. You are also a great coach.
