Take the tests, hope you pass

I like working with numbers, so when I started typing the costs for the different blood tests at this weekends Kiwanis Health Fair, I started breaking the cost down by numbers. I started with the main test, the Chemistry Profile. With this little vile of blood, they conduct 39 tests to find out important things about me such as my electrolytes, renal function and good and bad cholesterol count. I get all this done for $35. Doing the math I realized a little more than $.89 per test. That sounds like a bargain to me. The hardest part will be fasting for 12 hours before the test. The best part will be rewarding my fast with a breakfast served by Rose Riepenhoff of Rosehaven Bed and Breakfast and her crew. I can enjoy sausage links, scrambled eggs, hash brown casserole and pecan cinnamon pancakes. This year my husband said he is planning on taking all the tests that are available. Its a great deal he said. So once again I had to do the math. The total costs for all additional four tests available to him is only $100 more. This is for four tests including a PSA test, A1C test, TSH test and magnesium test. At first it all sounded like some foreign language to me until I did some research. Of course the PSA test is only for men. It helps discover prostrate cancer in its early states. This is important since prostrate cancer is normally symptomless in the early stages. This test cost is $40. Since I dont need that test, the three remaining tests will only cost me an additional $60. For this I can find out how my thyroid is functioning, by having the TSH test done for only $25. The magnesium test will tell me my levels of magnesium, an electrolyte that is critical in nearly all metabolic processes. Abnormal levels may indicate renal insufficiency, chronic renal disease, uncontrolled diabetes, diabetic acidosis, Addisons disease, hypothyroidism, malnutrition, malabsorption, hypoparathyroidism, and alcoholism. Twenty dollars seems like a bargain to find out this information. The final test, the A1C test can tell me if I have developed diabetes. Since I take medications that can cause diabetes this test is important to me. The mere $15 seems like an affordable pro-active health activity. I hope you join me at this Saturdays Kiwanis Health Fair, 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. at the Ottawa-Glandorf High School Gymnasium.

OTTAWA There had been a Lions Club in Ottawa that was chartered in 1956, but for reasons unknown, that club disbanded. On April 24, 1987, the Glandorf Lions Club sponsored a new Club in Ottawa, and the Lions came roaring back. During the Clubs Charter Night Celebration, which was April 22 at the Schnipke Inn, the six original Charter Members who are still active in the Lions Club were recognized. Those members, Rick Carder, Dwain Hohman, Mike Kaufman, Dan von der Embse and George Wisser (Terry Schroeder was unable to attend), reminisced about how they became involved in the Lions, and what Lionism has meant to them. Each Charter Member will receive a 25-year Lions pin at a later date. Rick Carder remembered that when he grew up in Ottoville, every street sign had a Lions emblem on it. After having relocated to Ottawa, the Glandorf Lions decided to start an Ottawa club; Carder was invited to be a Charter Member. I wanted to meet people and give back to the community, he explained. I enjoy helping with fundraisers and service projects. I am honored to be a Lion, Carder stated. Dwain Hohman recalled he was in the process of retiring from one job and transitioning into another when he was asked to be a Charter Member. Someone said to me, Dwain, youd have the time to do this, Hohman said with a grin. He was elected the Charter President. Hohman described the Clubs first fundraiser, Cow Chip Bingo, in which members had made small cow chips, complete with flies for Bingo games. He has enjoyed being a Lion and working with fellow Lions. I hope we can continue doing what we have done, he commented. Mike Kaufman was invited to be a Lion in 1987. He was the one who had discovered the 1956 Charter certificate and had it framed (the Lions hope to have that displayed at the Schnipke Inn). Kaufman said he gets pleasure from the numerous Lions activities in which he has been involved, especially bringing Eddie Eyeglasses (an actor dressed as a giant pair of eyeglasses who

Peter and Paul and Ottawa Elementary Schools. Kaufman challenged his fellow Lions to invite neighbors and friends to join the club. Dan von der Embse said his father had been actively involved in the Kalida Lions Club. He reminisced about helping with a float for a parade. His father, Norman, had always told his children they needed to be more involved in the community than just through the church. von der Embse said when he was invited to join the Ottawa Lions, he felt there was no excuse not to join. He commented, I sometimes feel like we cant do enough, but weve done a lot to be proud of. von der Embse is glad to see that younger members have joined the Club. George Wisser told of the many fundraisers in which he took part, in order to further the Clubs causes. Weve sold brooms, t-shirts, Easter bunnies, and root beer floats. One time, the chicken barbeque was rained out, and Jim (Schnipke) had 50 chickens in his freezer! Wisser is the senior member of the Ottawa Club. Although not a Charter member, Deb Carder, currently serving as the clubs secretary, recalled that she did a lot of behind the scenes work to help her husband, Rick, in his Lions endeavors. When the Lions began, women were not allowed to be members, she stated. I knew when they allowed women, I wanted to be first on the list. Carder became Ottawas first female member in 1991. The men told of the time that the Clubs gavel, which rings the bell to call each meeting to order, was kidnapped. We got pictures of it traveling all over the United States, they laughed, including Denver and Cleveland, at a Browns game. They even had a trial for the offender! Lions Clubs are primarily identified with helping persons with vision-related issues. They also support youth, provide disaster relief, and meet humanitarian needs. The Ottawa Lions is involved in numerous projects to better the community (see box). Above and beyond the vision-related projects, the one project of which they are most proud is their connection to and support of the Ottawa-Glandorf High Schools Art Club. The Lions and the Art Club formed a partnership several years ago when the Lions needed to spruce up their Christmas in the Park decorations. Recently, when the Art Club lost their funding, the Lions stepped in and paid the stipend for the Art Club advisor. This partnership has been good for both the Lions as well as the students. They have collaborated three years on a food

drive that has benefited the Ottawa Food Pantry. This past January, they joined forces on a Spaghetti Dinner that will help the Lions Club fund various projects. The Club hopes that by getting the youth involved now, they will want to become Lions when they are older. The Ottawa Lions Club is one of the smaller clubs (27 members) in town, but they are mighty- hear them roar! Heres hoping the next 25 years are as great for the Ottawa Lions. Ottawa Lions meet at the Schnipke Inn, on the second Wednesday of each month at 8:30 p.m., and the second Saturday after the Wednesday meeting at 7:30 am.

EVENT

Ottawa residents film to be screened at festival

OTTAWA Drew Wolke, a resident of Ottawa, is among the filmmakers selected to have work screened at 23 on 23, the 23rd annual Dusty Film & Animation Festival taking place at the SVA Theatre in New York City from May 6-9. The Dusty Film & Animation Festival will showcase more than 100 films by students graduating from the BFA Film, Video and Animation Department at the School of Visual Arts. The program includes screenings of short films, videos and animations and culminates in an awards ceremony with notable presenters from the film and animation industries. Thirteen awards-including Outstanding Film and Achievement in Directing, Outstanding Documentary, Outstanding Traditional and Stop Motion Animation, and the New York Women in Film and Television Award-are given to students in recognition for outstanding thesis work. All festival screenings and the awards ceremony are free to the general public and will take place at the SVA Theatre (333 West 23 Street, New York City). Further details and screening schedules are available at www.sva.edu/dusty. The Dusty Film & Animation Festival and Awards began in 1990 when the BFA Film, Video and Animation Department sought to bring its year-end screenings of student thesis films to a wider audience. With sponsorship, a venue, and the support from the film industry, the event came to life. To pay tribute to School of Visual Arts Founder Silas H. Rhodes, the event was named Dusty after the nickname Mr. Rhodes had as a soldier in World War II. Over its more than two-decade history, the Dusty Film & Animation Festival has introduced many graduates of the BFA Film, Video and Animation Department who have gone on to earn national and international recognition. School of Visual Arts in New York City is an established leader and innovator in the education of artists. From its inception in 1947, the faculty has been comprised of professionals working in the arts and art-related fields. SVA provides an environment that nurtures creativity, inventiveness and experimentation, enabling students to develop a strong sense of identity and a clear direction of purpose.

OTTAWA When children were done with their Easter Egg hunt recently at New Creation Lutheran Church, Ottawa, they had their pictures taken in front of a realistic-looking tomb in front of the sanctuary. Most of the children were unaware of the many hours of labor and creativeness needed to make the tomb. The idea for the tomb started with Rev. Ken Pollitz, pastor at New Creation. He wanted a nice setting for this years pictures. When I started thinking of where to get it from a member of our church, Max Inniger, suggested Becca Schroeder, Pastor Pollitz said. She was a friend of his and good with artistic items. Schroeder was away on a trip at the time, but the preliminary work was started to build the tomb. Danika Miller, the art teacher at Ottawa-Glandorf, had her husband build a wood structure and add chicken wire as the base for the tomb. When Schroeder returned from her trip she brainstormed with the teacher on how they could make the tomb look realistic. We took rolls and rolls of paper and crumpled it, then laid it flat, Schroeder said. Then we covered the crinkly paper with duct tape. Huge sheets of paper were crumpled and sprayed with gray paint. Then with the help of volunteers Schroeder covered the entire structure with paper mache. We even covered crumpled Pizza Hut boxes from where I work, Schroeder said. Schroeder said she used four periods a day for two and a half weeks to work on the structure. She was assisted by her friends including Max Inniger, Joe Pothoff, Jenna Vorst, Leah Williams and Ralph Recker. On Holy Thursday, Inniger and Jacob Siebeneck delivered the completed tomb to the church. Schroeder and her art teacher had added flowers and ivy to make the tomb look more realistic. The inside of the tomb was lined with dark garbage bags. Were extremely appreciate of the work that Becca and her friends put in to making this for us, said Rev. Pollitz. It served as a wonderful backdrop. He said the tomb will remain at the front of the church until Pentecost. It will then be stored for use next year.

April is National Distracted Affordable Driving Awareness Month camp is

With ever increasing demands on our personal and professional time in todays busy society, learning to juggle multiple tasks at once is something we all face daily. As a result, a new traffic safety epidemic has emerged on Americas roadways that demands immediate attention: distracted driving. In 2009 alone, nearly 5,500 people were killed and a half million more were injured in distracted driving crashes. One of the most alarming and widespread forms of distracted driving is cell phone usage. According to a Carnegie Mellon study, driving while using a cell phone reduces the amount of brain activity associated with driving by 37 percent. And a report from the National Safety Council found that more than one out of every four traffic accidents is caused by people talking on cell phones or sending text messages. Text messaging is of heightened concern because it combines three types of distraction visual, manual and cognitive. In other words, texting involves taking your eyes off the road, your hands off the wheel, and your mind off the task of driving. Younger, inexperienced drivers younger than 20 have the highest proportion of distraction-related fatal crashes. Their lack of driving experience can contribute to critical misjudgments if they become distracted. Not surprisingly, they text more than any other age group and the numbers of young drivers who text is only increasing. Its a trend that poses a growing danger, so its important to address this issue now. Parents need to set good example for their children and show them from an early age it is not safe to text and/or talk on their phone while driving. So the next time you are pressed for time, and it seems like multitasking in the car is the best decision, remember those 5,500 lives that were taken because someone decided they could do two things at once. A text or call is not worth your life, or anyone elses. Remember, One Text or Call Could Wreck it all.

Meadows First National celebrates community banking month receive award for service
The Meadows of Kalida, Leipsic and Ottawa-Glandorf were all recognized for their customer service excellence at the 2012 Trilogy Health Services Spring Meeting which was April 16-18 in Columbus. The Meadows of Kalida and Leipsic were the recipients of the Platinum Award and The Meadows of Ottawa-Glandorf was the recipient of the Presidential Award. The Award is based on customer satisfaction results from a semiannual survey that Trilogy sends to residents and family members. Each of The Meadows campuses received recognition for their customer satisfaction scores in Staff Attitude, Quality of Nursing Care, Food Quality, Activity Programming and Appearance / Cleanliness. Companywide, more than 5,500 surveys were mailed to family members and other responsible parties. Nearly 50 percent of the surveys were returned, and the results were compared to the campuses past survey performance, as well as to the performance of other Trilogy campuses. We are excited and pleased to receive such great recognition, said Stephanie Clark, executive director at The Meadows of Ottawa-Glandorf. Jim Sherry, executive director at The Meadows of Leipsic, added, We value the fact that our customers have given us their stamp of approval. Our goal is to exceed the expectations of our residents and their families every day by delivering the best care possible. Kevin Kidd, Executive Director at The Meadows of Kalida, added that this award was made possible by the contribution of all staff members. I feel very fortunate to lead such a wonderful team of healthcare professionals. I Did My 50! Which three local businesses would you miss if they closed their doors? Maybe its the local deli on the corner where you grab the best sandwiches. Perhaps its the florist who already seems to know exactly what your wife will love for her birthday and is good enough to give you a reminder call so you never forget the date. Or is it the hometown movie theater where you can actually afford to take your family out for an evening? At First National Bank, community banking and supporting local businesses is what its all about. To celebrate Community Banking month in April, First National Bank employees have once again unanimously committed to supporting local, independent businesses. The impetus behind the commitment is The 3/50 Project. This initiative, started by a Minneapolis, Minnesota, business owner in March, 2009, was created to build loyalty and increased revenue for independent, locally owned businesses and relies on a simple message: Pick 3. Spend 50. Save your local economy. According to The 3/50 Project (the350project.net), for every $100 spent in locally owned stores, $68 remains in the local economy. In contrast, only $43 of every $100 remains local when spent in national chains, and little or no local revenue results from online purchases. So, during the month of April, every FNB employee has committed to picking three local businesses and spending a total of $50 as a way to keep money in the community, support local business owners, and help local communities thrive. Todd Mason, President and CEO at First National Bank, is excited about the intent behind the effort: community banks thrive because they work hand in

River otter given permanent home in museum

By NANCY KLINE
nkline@putnamvoice.com 419-231-2444

KALIDA A river otter, discovered earlier this year in a raccoon snare along the Auglaize River in Putnam County, has found a permanent home in the county. On Monday night the Putnam County Historical Society accepted the otter for exhibit in the county museum in Kalida. The otter drowned before the trapper, Ryan Brinkman, discovered it. I was shocked when I found it, Brinkman said. I knew they are not supposed to be in Putnam County. He immediately notified the game warden about the otter. Brinkman said the otter had been trapped underwater for a few days before it was discovered and had drowned. Because Putnam County is closed to trapping for river otters, Brinkman turned over the otter to state wildlife officials. It was the first verified report of an otter in Putnam County in nearly 100 years, said Jason Porinchok, wildlife officer with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. He said the ODNR studied the otter to determine its age and sex. Porinchok said it was suggested to place the otter for public viewing at the museum. Everyone all the way up to Columbus officials liked that idea, he said. Kalida Fish and Game and Steve Burgei with Steves Taxidermy & Tanner donated the money and labor to have the otter professionally preserved.

NANCY KLINE Putnam Voice

A river otter was dedicated by the Putnam County Historical Museum on Monday evening. Taking part in the dedication were (from left) Ryan Brinkman, trapper who discovered otter; Mike Gerding, Kalida Fish and & Game; Steve Burgei, Steves Taxidermy & Tannery LLC, and museum curator Carol Wise. Porinchok said they have since discovered prints of another otter in the county. We dont know if that was his female mate, the game warden said. Otters will mate for life. Janis Lentz, vice president of the Putnam County Historical Society, said the board appreciates being given the Otter. I want to thank all of you for considering giving this otter to us, Lentz said. She expressed her appreciate to Brinkman, the Kalida Fish and Game for their financial donations towards preserving the otter and to Steve Burgei for donating labor in doing the taxidermy work on the otter. She also thanked Ottawa Ordinance for donating the plaque that tells the individual background of this otter. Burgei said he did quite a bit of research to find out the natural habitat for the otter before doing the

work. He was assisted by his mother Donna Burgei, who serves on the historical society board. River otters are native to Ohio, but they were considered a nuisance and were exterminated from the state by the early 1900s. Wildlife officials reintroduced river otters in Ohio between 1986 and 1995, releasing 123 otters that had been captured in Arkansas and Louisiana, Windau said. The otters were released in the Grand River, east of Cleveland; Killbuck Creek, south of Wooster; the Little Muskingum River in the southeast corner of Ohio; and Stillwater Creek, a tributary of the Tuscarawas River in eastern Ohio. Fifteen years later, otter populations have spread to at least twothirds of Ohios 88 counties. The success of the reintroduction prompted the state to recommended river otters be removed from the states endangered species list in 2002. Ohio held its first regulated trapping season for river otters in 2005-06. Trapping is permitted in 43 counties with bag limits of one or three river otters per season, depending on the county. Successful trappers are required to present the otter pelt to the Division of Wildlife within 72 hours of capture for tagging. River otters are very adapted for swimming, with a long, tapered body, webbed feet and a flattened muscular tail. Otters can reach 38 to 58 inches in length with half their length being tail. They average 7 to 10 inches high and adults can weigh 11 to 33 pounds. In the wild, river otters generally live 10 to 15 years.
