This Sunday afternoon, a pair of historic Piper Cub airplanes land at the Port Clinton Airport. Two pilots, Joe Murray and Ron Siwik will be leaving Kent State to fly their way across the northern part of Ohio to spend the afternoon and evening in Port Clinton. The pair is attempting to set a record of flying to and landing in every county in the State of Ohio, all 88 of them. Their goal is to land in 10 or so airports a day as they zigzag their way, eventually ending up in, where else, Dayton. Thanks to Dave Hirt for the tip.

BIRDING from 1A
Bird watching, like golf, is a pursuit known for its honor code. If youre compiling a life list, for example, you cant count birds in a zoo or sanctuary or birds you cant positively identify. Bartlett recalls one such disappointment regarding a warbler during a Big Sit. This Cerulean Warbler was sitting around the corner and I never could see it. People would walk 30 feet from me and see it preening in the tree and feeding in the tree, but because of all the vegetation I couldnt see through it to see it on the other side. At the end of the day, I walked around the corner and there was the bird sitting there. But, I couldnt count it because I didnt see it during the time period. Serious stuff, this bird watching. While Bartlett cant leave his 17-foot circle to count a bird, that doesnt mean he cant call the birds to him. He does this with his MP3 Player loaded with calls for such birds as the Great Horned Owl and the Screech Owl. The most effective time to call is just before dawn so Bartlett arrives at Magee Marsh shortly before 5 a.m. Bartletts Big Sit has become a big event annually for the Black Swamp Bird Observatory. He pledges $1 per species and those who join him make their own pledges. Kim Kaufman, executive director of BSBO, says these birders have contributed some $32,000 to support birding activities, including the Young Birders Club. Last year, Bartlett was joined by about 20 other birders, six of whom stayed the entire 12 hours. Bartletts love of birding arose from his inability to decide a career path when he moved from New Jersey to attend Heidelberg College in Tiffin, where he still lives. He would eventually graduate with four

majors religion, psychology, biology and American studies but it was taking an ornithology class on a whim that hooked him to avian life. Since then, the retired science teacher has become a licensed bander, one of only 50 in Ohio. As a master bander, he is certified to teach banding. He is also a research associate in the Division of Ornithology at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. Bartlett first volunteered as a trail guide for BSBO in 1995. What he discovered was that birders on the trail didnt need him, so he settled in on the Big Sit. You can join him on May 12 just for fun, or to learn more about birds. Hes not shy and hes willing to share his knowledge and his stories, but just dont ask him to leave his 17-foot circle. By the way, no reservations needed. If you wish to help the Young Birders Club, go to bsbo.org and download a pledge form.

next door to GSE Jewelers. That allowed Bassett to expand his hardware floor space from 10,500 square feet to 15,000. So, what has this accomplished? One of Bassetts Do-itBest customers said it best. Now we dont have to go to Sandusky anymore. At nearly $4 per gallon for gasoline, that could mean significant savings for Bassetts customers. Our customer survey told us that they wanted more items, so we added them, said Bassett, whose family has been in business in Ottawa County since 1898. The expansion has allowed them to add more than 8,000 new items. They now claim the largest inventory of stainless steel items, nuts, bolts, fittings and nails, etc., in northwest Ohio. They have expanded their plumbing inventory and have a wide variety of furnace filters, house wares and seasonal items such as fans and other warm weather helpers. One of the new services being provided is a special keymaking department that includes the technology to make replacement remote entry keys for most cars and truck. They have also worked to expand their ability to take care of the building trades side of the business. Bassetts parking lot will be the site for Rally for the Kids on Saturday, May 19. The family event will benefit the CASA Court Appointed Special Advocates and Joyful Connections, an agency that provides supervised visitations and supervised exchanges for families in need. The event will be a Sidewalk Sale, and local residents are invited to bring their garage sale items as well as crafts and home party items. One lucky person can win a 3-minute shopping spree at Bassetts Market. For information on Rally for the Kids, contact Sheila Powell at 419-366-7420.

Magruder Hospital Edgewood Manor: excellent satisfaction brings urology services to community survey results
The Ohio Department of Health released the results of the skilled nursing facility resident satisfaction survey conducted this past winter. Edgewood Manor scored a 91 on the survey, while the State average was only 87.1. The current results demonstrate a continuing upward trend for resident satisfaction both at Edgewood Manor and other facilities in Ohio. The residents were asked specific questions that rated their satisfaction regarding the facilitys environment, activities, administration, direct care/nursing assistants, laundry, meals, dining, social services and therapy, as well as general satisfaction. The number of residents interviewed and which residents are interviewed are determined by the Ohio Department of Health. Edgewood Manor Executive Director, Lori Lieb-Opfer is extremely pleased with the results. I am very happy with the results of this survey for many reasons. Most importantly, with the broad scope of questions asked, this is an accomplishment of our entire team. It does not just reflect one department, but everyone working together to provide great care for our residents, and it shows, she said. The facility also conducts its own satisfaction surveys to residents upon returning to the community. According to facility statistics, the average score is 98 percent satisfaction. To learn more about Edgewood Manor or take a tour of the facility, call Carrie McGlothlin, Edgewoods marketing director, at 419-734-5506, or stop by the facility located at 1330 S. Fulton St., Port Clinton. Dr. Dino Santacroce, a urologist with the RoMIUS Institute of Northwest Ohio, has recently joined the Magruder Hospital Medical Staff, specializing in adult urology. According to Mike Long, president and CEO of Magruder, Sanatcroce is adding a much-needed service to the commugroup of physicians at the RoMIUS Institute, the decision to move forward was unanimous. We really think the community will be happy with these doctors. Dr. Santacroce will be the primary urologist seeing patients here at Magruder a couple of days a week, said Long. Santacroce completed his undergraduate degree at The Ohio State University. He then went on to graduate from the University of Toledo Medical Center after completing his residency in Urologic Surgery. During his medical studies, he earned the Edward F. Ockuly Award for outstanding achievements in Urology, achieved the highest score in the nation on his Inservice Examination and served as the Resident Representative to the Ohio Urologic Society. Santacroce is accepting new patients. His office is located in the Medical Office Building, Suite F, behind the hospital on its main campus. Appointments can be made by calling 419-732-6776.

nity. For several years now, the majority of people within the community have had to leave the area for urology services, said Long. When the RoMIUS Institute approached us about bringing their services to Magruder, we saw this as a great opportunity for Magruder and the community. Long said after meeting with the entire
The Ottawa County Health Department has welcomed Andrea Trick to its nursing staff. Trick, a Catawba Island resident, began work as a registered nurse part-time on Feb. 19. Previously, she worked for Stein Hospice, Fremont Memorial Hospital (19 years as a registered nurse case manager) and at Oberlin Hospital in the chemical dependency unit. A native of Northeast Ohio, Trick is a graduate of North Central Technical College and the Mansfield branch of The Ohio State University. Trick said she looks forward to her
service with the health department because she enjoys the one-on-one time she is able to spend with home care patients. I love the personal relationships you create and develop with the families, said Trick, who considers nursing her mission in life. At present, the health department nursing staff consists of four fulltime nurses and four part-time nurses, said Diane Kokinda, director of nursing. The part-time nurses main role concentrates on the home health care division. During her orientation pe-
riod, Trick was teamed with another registered nurse and will eventually undertake the home visits by herself, Kokinda explained. Trick and her husband, Craig, TRICK have four children: Nicole, Shelby, Corban and Alexis. Her favorite pastime is leisure boating on Lake Erie.

If youre a mother, youll probably get some nice cards and flowers on Mothers Day. But of course, your greatest gifts are your children themselves. And since you want to see them happy and financially secure, perhaps you can use this Mothers Day as an opportunity to consider ways to help your children at various stages of their lives. So, lets take a look at steps you can take:
Skills for Life Marine Trades Think long-term program cited for economic on Mothers Day development efforts
Officials from Ohio University and the Ohio Association of Community Action Agencies will visit the area on May 17 to unveil a report that cites the Skills for Life Marine Trades program as a contributor to the areas economic development efforts. The group chose to release the report in May in recognition of Community Action Month across the nation. The report will be released during a presentation that begins at 11 a.m. on May 17 at the Ottawa County Resource Center, 8043 W. Ohio 163, Oak Harbor. Ohio Universitys research study proved the significant contribution CAAs make to a communitys economic development, said Philip E. Cole, executive director of OACAA. WSOS Marine Mechanics program is an excellent example of Community Actions achievements. The program helps people attain stable careers and meets the training needs of the local business community. Titled Community Action Agencies: Strengthening Ohios Communities, the report was conducted by the Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs at Ohio University. The purpose of the report was to determine the impact that community action agencies have on the economic development of the communities they serve. Until 2001, Ohio lacked a training program to create a pool of qualified marine mechanics necessary to serve Ohios 400,000 registered boats. Partnering with the Ottawa County Improvement Corp., Penta Adult Career Center and area marine businesses, WSOS filled this local labor gap by creating a sector-based Marine Trades Training program that attracts students from across the country. Data from the study revealed that, to date, the program has trained more than 130 individuals, and of that number, 71 percent have secured employment. Not only does this program serve existing businesses, it has also attracted new ones to the Ohio area. In 2002, Volvo Penta of the Americas moved its training facility from Chicago to Oak Harbor in order to capitalize on this emerging labor pool. We are proud of the success of the Marine Mechanics course and continue to add advanced classes to enhance program graduates skills, said WSOS President/CEO Neil McCabe. This program provides participants with program instruction and hands-on training in the proper use of all tools used in the marine mechanic industry; diagnosis, repair and replacement of all components of outboard motors, stern drive motors; as well as the maintenance and repair practices of seasonal marine work. Participants also receive a boating safety certification from the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and an Ohio boating law certification provided by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Watercraft Division. It designed as an open entry and open exit hands-on program that allows participants to master the skills of the marine trade in less than six months. The participant who completes the requirements of this program can work at any marina around the nation. For information on how to enroll in this program, call George Dupey at 419-334-3332.
Financial Focus
WHEN YOUR KIDS ARE YOUNG Teach them to be savers Encourage young children to put away part of their allowance, or any money GARY COON they receive for household jobs, in a savings account. Offer to match their contributions dollar for dollar. Help them become investors Consider giving your children a few shares of stock in companies with which they are familiar. By following the movements of their stocks with them, you can explain how the markets work and how increasing share ownership is one key to helping build wealth. Contribute to a college savings plan One of the best things you can do to boost your childrens chances of success in life is to help them go to college. Youve got several good college-savings vehicles available, such as a 529 plans, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and custodial accounts. Your financial advisor can help you choose the vehicle that suits your needs and objectives. WHEN YOUR CHILDREN ENTER THE WORKFORCE Encourage IRA contributions An Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is a great retirement savings vehicle. As long as your children have earned income, they can contribute to an IRA, so you may want to help them max out on their contributions each year. While you cant directly contribute to a childs IRA, you can write a check to your child and encourage him or her to use it for funding an IRA. Make long-term care arrangements If you needed long-term care, such as an extended nursing home stay, and you had inadequate financial preparations, the burden could fall on your children. Now is the time to consult with your financial advisor to begin preparing for possible long-term care costs. WHEN YOUR CHILDREN REACH MIDDLE AGE Communicate your financial situation and estate plans Dont leave adult children in the dark as to your financial information. Share everything you can about how much you own, where you keep your assets and how you plan to eventually distribute them. By clearly communicating your situation and wishes now, you can avoid major problems later. Create a durable power of attorney By creating a durable power of attorney, you can appoint another person, such as an adult child, to conduct your business and financial affairs if you become physically or mentally incapacitated. Such a move can help reduce stress your children may be feeling, while allowing them to make moves that can help preserve your finances. Mothers Day commemorates the special bond that mothers have with their children. By following the above suggestions, you can help strengthen that bond throughout your lifetime.

Billboard winners
Ottawa, Sandusky and Seneca County fifth grade students had the opportunity to participate in the OSS Solid Waste Billboard Contest earlier this spring. The contest is run annually and the billboards are posted throughout the month of April in Celebration of Earth Day. Students are encouraged to create a design with a recycling or litter prevention theme. OSS district staff selects three winners from each county displaying artwork on billboards within their respective counties. Winning designs include the following students and their school: Ben Strnad Danbury Middle School, Kalee Rakosky Danbury Middle School, Izzy Cuevas Genoa Middlel School. All of the winners and their schools received a replica mini billboard featuring their artwork. Students also received a T-shirt with their winning entry and an eco-friendly fleece sweatshirt made form recycled soda bottles. Brad Schwan was at Danbury Schools April 19 for the Awards Assembly to make the presentations. He also took the opportunity to talk and involve the students in making their classrooms a Green Classroom. The winning designs can be viewed on the OSS website at www.recycleoss.org or on the billboards throughout the county.
