Thursday is Circus Day

Creative gardeners help meet area need The nonprofit Lighthouse Landing Community Garden Foundation has 21 gardens behind the Lighthouse Landing Art, Antique and Craft Mall. Members of the community are raising vegetables in the plots, with some being sold in the Farmers Market. A garden club meets on the first Wednesday of each month from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. The community garden features a sitting area, and funds are being raised to add a small garden house/chapel. The gardeners hope to add new plants each year. Above: A bike garden and a pair of boots display creative planting techniques. Right: A canoe garden represents the nautical theme of the community.

This year’s circus dedicated in honor of Sherrie Shipman

The 2014 Kelly Miller Circus at Friendship Park Community Center is being dedicated in honor of Sherrie Shipman. Ms. Shipman, manager of recreation for the city of Toledo, joined the Parks and Recreation department as a summer lifeguard while in high school. After college she joined the recreation department full time, working her way to her current position. Approximately 20 years ago, she had a vision and burden to turn a boarded up, abandoned city building into a place with purpose where residents could gather and strengthen community. With many obstacles ahead of her and many of her own evenings and weekends invested, she and her coworker, Darleen, cleaned and painted the inside of the building, making it habitable for the community. The Friendship Park Community Center opened and has been a vibrant place of gathering ever since. Ms. Shipman was instrumental in obtaining grant

money to update the kitchen to commercial equipment– which made it viable to rent the building for private events–and to purchase tables and chairs to facilitate the many community meetings and senior activities. When city cutbacks threatened to close the facility, Ms. Shipman was instrumental in creating the center as a nonprofit organization, thus protecting it from closure. She is a vital resource to the board of directors and is an active liaison with the City of Toledo. Most recently, she advocated for having the raised gardens beds that are alongside of the building built by the parks department during winter months when things are typically slower. Because of her efforts, the Friendship Park Community Center went from a boarded up vacant building to a vibrant community resource, including the senior center. This year’s circus is being dedicated in her honor in recognition of how one person’s dedication can impact a community.

World War II veteran finally receives his service medals

Point Place World War II Veteran Robert Harry Hardesty recently received his medals after being discharged from military service 68 years ago. He enlisted in the Navy at age 16, and served from 1944 to 1946 on the Upham, a destroyer escort. He was a 3rd Class Petty Officer aboard the ship which ran from Newport News (Norfolk, Virginia) to Cuba in the Atlantic. His last assignment was at Floyd Bennett Airfield in New York. Mr. Hardesty said the commanding officer was unavailable at the time of his discharge, and he was unaware he was due any medals. His friend, Mary Jo Price, sent his service information to the military archives, and his unclaimed medals recently arrived in the mail. Mr. Hardesty works part time as a courier for Promedica. He is pictured, above left, proudly displaying the medals he earned. Above right: The young petty officer’s service photo at enlistment. Also pictured are Mr. Hardesty’s medals: American Campaign, World War II, Lapel Button Honorable Services.

Northwest Ohio RiverRunners moonlight cruise set for Aug. 5

The Northwest Ohio RiverRunners will celebrate its fifth anniversary with a moonlight cruise on Tuesday, August 5. The event is being dedicated to the memory of Howard Pinkley, a life-long resident of Point Place. Mr. Pinkley had the vision to organize a canoe, kayak and racing shell club in Point Place/Shoreland. The first meeting was held five years ago on July 28, 2009, at the Friendship

Park Community Center, with 24 boating enthusiasts in attendance. The group now holds weekly outings and monthly moonlight cruises, leaving from the HP Landing. The landing was completed in the fall of 2010 and on April 17, 2011, was dedicated and named the HP Landing in Mr. Pinkley’s honor. The club includes kayakers from northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan, ranging in

age from 14 to 86. The moonlight cruise begins at 6:30 p.m., with pizza and non-alcoholic beverages, and a time of on-land camaraderie. Kayakers will set out at approximately 8:30 p.m. for one to two hours of paddling. Bow lights will be provided, but participants should bring flashlights. For information on NWORR and upcoming events, visit nworr.org or the group’s Facebook page.

Annual walk raises nearly $3,000 for Mustard Seed The Point Place Business Association sponsored the 10th Annual Mile for Mustard Seed Walk on Saturday, June 29. The walk went from Cullen Park on Summit Street to the Mustard Seed building on 302nd Street. The charity walk grossed nearly $2,700 for the local feed your neighbor outreach program. Award winners included John Horvath, fastest walker; Nathan Rechel, the oldest walker at age 81, Mikayla Barth and Destiny Statlar, the youngest walkers, both age 8. Cindy St. Germain, music teacher from Ottawa River School, led the group in singing the National Anthem. After the walk, participants celebrated with a ballon release, and a light lunch was provided by members of RiverPoint Ministries United Methodist Church. Mustard Seed is located behind RiverPoint Ministries UMC and is supported by Point Place and Shoreland churches, schools, organizations and residents. The local nonprofit organization supplies food, school supplies and other necessities to families seeking assistance. Organizers thank all who volunteered, sponsored and walked to make this year’s event another success.

“Please, consider giving the gift of life. Each day donations come up short, less blood is available for patients in need–and you never know when it could be your loved one needing blood.” Eligible donors with types O negative, B negative and A negative blood are especially needed at this time. Type O negative is the universal blood type and can be transfused to anyone who needs blood. Types A negative and B negative can be transfused to Rh positive or negative patients. There also is an urgent need for platelet donations. Platelets–a key clotting component of blood often needed by cancer patients, burn victims and bone marrow recipients–must be transfused within five days of donation, so it’s important to have a steady supply of platelets on hand. The summer can be among the most challenging times of the year for blood and platelet donations as regular donors delay giving while they take vacations and participate in summer activities. When school is out of session for summer break, donations from those who normally give on campus tend to drop by more than 80 percent.

American Red Cross issues call for blood, platelet donors The American Red Cross is facing a looming blood shortage, leading to an urgent need for donors of all blood types to roll up a sleeve and give. Donations through the Red Cross are down approximately 8 percent over the last 11 weeks, resulting in about 80,000 fewer donations than expected. The number of donors continues to decline, and the shortfall is significant enough that the Red Cross could experience an emergency situation in the coming weeks. In addition, the Independence Day holiday falling on Friday reduced the number of blood drives scheduled in early July. Many sponsors did not host drives because people took vacations either over the long weekend or for the entire week. In an average summer week, about 4,400 Red Cross blood drives are scheduled, compared to Independence Day week when only 3,450 drives occurred. “Hospital patients continue to need lifesaving blood this summer, and they’re relying on the generosity of volunteer donors to give them hope in the days and weeks ahead,” said Michael Thome, chief executive officer for the Red Cross Western Lake Erie Blood Services Region.

To donate blood, call 1800-733-2767 or visit redcrossblood.org to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license, or two other forms of identification are required at check-in.

The Toledo Zoo is seeking volunteer divers for its new Aquarium exhibit which is expected to reopen in March 2015. The aquarium is currently undergoing major renovations. The interior size of the 1939 historic Works Progress Administration building will stay the same, but water volume will more than triple in size to 178,000 gallons, including a 90,000 gallon Pacific coral reef exhibit. “We want to inspire others to join us in caring for the animals and conserving the natural world,” said Jay Hemdal, curator of fish and invertebrates at the zoo. “This would be achieved by presenting the aquatic life in larger, more naturalistic displays, and by interpreting the animals through more interactive and engaging exhibits.” In addition, this renovation will include updating the life support systems to provide a better environment for the animals. As a key element to this anchor for the aquatic themed section of the zoo, volunteer divers are being recruited to support staff in creating a fully engaging and educational experience for the visitors. Divers will perform feeding demon-

The zoo is developing an outline of requirements for the volunteer diver program. Volunteers must meet all Toledo Zoo volunteer requirements, be 18 years old or older, possess a PADI open water diver (or equivalent) and have an additional five hours of logged open water dives, along with current CPR, first aid and oxygen delivery training certifications.

New analysis from economists in Ohio State University’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences finds that the number of authorized stores in Ohio that serve participants in the U.S. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as the Food Stamp Program, has not followed a consistent growth pattern in the state to match program enrollment, possibly impacting the program’s ability to meet the needs of participants. The economists found that SNAP-authorized retailers are mostly clustered in the state’s large urban centers even though rural populations have seen equal increases in the proportion of residents who are SNAP participants over the last decade. While much attention has focused on low benefit levels as a reason for program ineffectiveness, the Ohio State researchers conclude that limited access to SNAP-authorized stores, particularly in rural areas, also may hinder the program’s effectiveness. In a recently published policy brief, “The Supplemental Nutrition Program and Its Effect on Food Insecurity,” Mark Partridge, a professor in the college’s Department of Agricultural, Environmental and Development Economics (AEDE), and Clare Cho, a doctoral student in the de-

Rascal’s sweet face has a sweet personality to match it. Full of energy and love, he will make sure his new family is always entertained. Being only one year old, Rascal still needs some obedience training to make him the best dog he can be. He loves people and attention, so he is the perfect dog for an active family who will be able to play and keep up with him. His unique fur spots and puppy face is sure to put a smile on anyone’s face. American bulldogs are known for their confident and active personalities. They are typically very fond of their families and love attention. This means they form very strong bonds with their owners and learn to love and protect them. Rascal is neutered, up to date on his vaccinations and is microchipped. For more information, visit the Toledo Area Humane Society, 1920 Indian Wood Circle, Maumee or call 419-891-0705.

partment, examine the growth of the SNAP program in Ohio with a particular focus on participant enrollment and SNAP-authorized store presence by county. The brief was published through the work of the C. William Swank Program in Rural-Urban Policy, an Ohio State research initiative chaired by Partridge. “As funding for SNAP has grown, it has become increasingly important to determine whether the program reduces food insecurity,” Ms. Cho said. “Our finding that most SNAP stores in Ohio are clustered in urban areas while some of the largest increases in SNAP participation rates occurred in rural areas could partially explain why the SNAP program has an uncertain effect on food insecurity in the state.” Since 2008, SNAP participation at all levels– national, state and by Ohio county–has increased. SNAP is authorized through the Farm Bill and provides support to millions of Americans each year. Nationally, enrollment in the program increased by 50 percent from 2001 to 2005 and by 70 percent from 2007 to 2011. At the state level, in 2002, 9.8 percent of Ohioans were eligible to participate in the food assistance program, while in 2012 this figure reached 16 percent. Based on this data, Ohio is now the 10th most food insecure state in the nation, having previously ranked 30th in 2000. The researchers found that SNAP enrollment increases in Ohio have varied by county, though all counties have experienced an increase in program enrollment since 2000. The lowest increase in SNAP participation occurred in Delaware and Holmes counties, with a 2 percent enrollment increase in the program from 2000 to 2010. The greatest increase in program enrollment during that period occurred in Vinton County, with a 16 percent increase in program participants. Though enrollment in the program increased in all Ohio counties, the researchers found that the number of SNAP-authorized retailers has not matched this growth pattern.

“In regard to SNAP-authorized establishments, we found that these stores tend to cluster, particularly in areas with large populations, even though all counties in Ohio experienced an increase in SNAP enrollees over the last decade. It’s not clear why in counties such as Scioto County, the number of SNAP-authorized stores would not increase in response to the growing number of participants, especially since the overall population increased as well,” Ms. Cho said. In the U.S. there is much debate on the effectiveness of the SNAP program. By offering a lens on SNAP retail participation rates in Ohio compared to where SNAP program enrollment is occurring, the authors examine a key aspect of the program that may be hindering its effectiveness: program participants’ access to SNAP-authorized retailers. This finding may be critical in understanding how SNAP participants in rural settings may be prevented from fully participating in the program. “Although additional research on accessibility of SNAP-authorized stores needs to be conducted, the distribution of stores in relation to the location of low-income residents in Ohio further indicates the need to improve transportation access of disadvantaged households for work, childcare, education and food,” Mr. Partridge said. “In the recent debate on whether rural poverty is overstated because of lower costs of living, other factors have been largely ignored, such as longer commutes and limited access to services such as grocery stores,” he said. “Oftentimes in rural areas, there are large areas of land without stores or with few options to choose from, as seen by the distribution of SNAP-authorized stores in Morgan County.” In their research, Mr. Partridge and Ms. Cho found that while Morgan County had a food insecurity rate of 20 percent in 2010, ranking it as one of the top five most food insecure Ohio counties, there are significantly large areas in the county that lack SNAP-authorized stores.

Lucas County fatal crash update The Lucas County Traffic Safety Program reports that in the current federal fiscal year, October 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014, there have been 22 fatal crashes and 23 motor vehicle fatalities in Lucas County. During this same nine month period in FFY 2013 there were 21 fatal crashes and 22 fatalities. Three of the 23 fatalities were pedestrians and three were motorcyclists. Alcohol and drug use by the at-fault driver or pedestrian continues to be a major factor in far too many of the fatal crashes occurring within Lucas County. More than 41 percent of the fatal crashes involved a driver or pedestrian under the influ-

ence of alcohol or drugs at the time of the crash which is well above the National and State average. The average BAC (blood alcohol content) was .211 which is almost three times the legal limit. Forty percent of the people that died in these fatal crashes had a seat belt available but weren’t buckled up at the time of their crash. The Traffic Safety Program is funded through grants from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Ohio Department of Public Safety and is administered by the Educational Service Center of Lake Erie West.

Humane Ohio offers spay/neuter special for pit bulls in August Last year, approximately 40 percent of dogs admitted to the Lucas County Dog Warden were pit bulls and pit bull mixes, with only about 15 percent claimed by their owners. Unfortunately, pit bulls end up in shelters in large numbers due to myths and negative publicity, making them one of the most common types in shelters and therefore one of the most euthanized. With 8 million homeless pets entering U.S. shelters every year, Humane Ohio is helping to solve this problem by participating in PetSmart Charities’ “Primp Your Pit” August spay/neuter campaign. This year, PetSmart Charities is providing more than $388,000 in funding so that 57 animal welfare organizations across the nation can perform 6,796 spay/neuter surgeries on pit bull terriers and pit bull mixes during the month of August.

Locally, Humane Ohio plans to spay/neuter about 130 pit bull terriers and pit bull terrier mixes for the special $20 rate, which includes a free nail trim. This special rate during the “Primp Your Pit” event applies to all residents of Ohio and Michigan. “Spaying or neutering a pet is the most effective thing a pet parent can do to prevent unwanted litters from being born that will end up in local shelters,” said Humane Ohio Development and Marketing Director Kristy Kissoff. Pit bull parents who wish to take advantage of this special offer must mention the “Primp Your Pit” promotion when they schedule their appointments. The promotion is based on availability. For more information or to schedule an appointment, visit the website at www.humane ohio.org or call 419-2665607.

Oak Openings cabin originally built by WPA

Metroparks of the Toledo area recently completed renovations on the Caretaker’s Cottage at Oak Opening park. A former manager’s residence at the park, the cottage has been empty for more than a decade, said deputy director Dave Zenk, who noted that the building originally was constructed by the Works Progress Administration in the 1930s. The 700-square-foot structure, which overlooks Mallard Lake, features a living room with stone, wood-burning fireplace, two bedrooms, one bathroom and a combination kitchen/dining area. A porch with a swing and two rocking chairs offers a serene view of the lake and at the rear of the building is a shelter with a patio and firepit. The building can sleep up to eight people. The park district’s roving construction crew performed renovations, and park staff assisted with decorating, explained the deputy director. “Recent community surveys indicated strong support for primitive camping and modest overnight lodging, which is why we completed the project,” he added.

Alyssa Deiley graduates from Youth Leadership Toledo

Alyssa Deiley of Whitmer High School graduated from Leadership Toledo. Leadership Toledo works closely with administrators and their 4,000 freshman from each area high school s to identify students who possess that “it” factor. One to two students from each school then are selected to become involved in Youth Leadership Toledo. In addition to attending 11 sessions to expose the young leaders to issues, challenges, and opportunities, Youth Leadership Toledo class members join small groups to tackle projects, expand their awareness, compassion and entrepreneurial skills to benefit others. Cory Dippold, associate executive director of Leadership Toledo, has the primary responsibility for what is affectionately known as YLT. “The growth that we see from start to finish is rewarding. Imagine the first session–some shy students still wondering why they were identified by their schools mixing with others overflowing with confidence. By graduation, each describe their ‘YLT family’ with deep affection and the knowledge that they have built connections that will remain with them beyond their high school years.” Students explore common interests while acquiring skills to work together with the different personality traits that exist within any team. “Schools create imaginary boundaries that separate the youth–through YLT, those boundaries become blurred. The community benefits when the students come together to solve issues that exist regardless of where one lives or attends school,” Mr. Dippold added. As an example, he cited the innovation of a recent “project group” that decided to take on the issue of teenagers texting while driv-

ing. “We never underestimate the ingenuity of these young leaders,” he said. “On graduation day, we were presented with actual TEXT BANds–small sleeves designed by the group to slide over cell phones. They sought and received a $600 grant, arranged the production, and are now developing their distribution plan.” “Success is not always achieved–but that, too, is part of the learning process,” finished Mr. Dippold.
