The rst thing you notice is the sunnynature of the place and of the staff. Thenext thing you notice is the great selectionof toys and games. Through a childs eyes,the visitation rooms at Joyful Connectionsmust be welcoming and inviting. For a

child whose parents and families are goingthrough troubled times, Joyful Connec-tions must seem like a wonderful respite.

The mission of Joyful Connections inOak Harbor is to provide a healthy, safe,and home-like environment where chil-dren can interact with family members ina non-judgmental setting. Children of allages, from newborn to age 17, are served.

Joyful Connections was founded in Oc-tober of 2008. Judge Bruce Winters per-ceived the need and the Leadership Ot-tawa County class developed the plan.Since that time, Joyful Connections staffhave hosted 2300 visits, 4500 hours offamily time. Currently the four part-timestaff and nine volunteers supervise visits

for children from non-custodial parents,grandparents and siblings from an areathat extends beyond the boundaries of Ot-tawa County. There are always two staffpresent at each visitation.

Sheila Powell, Fiscal Operations Direc-tor, says that referrals come from variouscourts, from Childrens Services, or even

from self-referrals.Ric Powers, new Executive Director at

Joyful Connections in Oak Harbor, de-scribes the efforts of Joyful Connections toaccommodate families: Anytime anyonewants a visit, we can schedule it.

Powers, who resides in Oak Harbor, has

over 20 years experience in the social ser-vice realm. He has been very impressedwith the judges and magistrates in OttawaCounty.

The facility is set up to keep the visit-ing parties from meeting and interactinginappropriately. We offer no opinions, justrecord what is taking place, like if the fam-ily members are showing up on time, saysPowers.

There are no televisions or video gamesat Joyful Connections, to encourage familymembers to spend quality time interact-ing. It is interesting to watch a child showa parent how to play checkers, said Pow-ers.

Powell is grateful for the generosity of

the community. Except for a copier andcomputer, everything at the facility hasbeen donated.

On Feb. 11 there is an Open House atJoyful Connections from 5-7 p.m., to wel-come Powers and because we want every-one to know what we are doing. We alwaysneed volunteers and board members, says

Powers. And, as every par-ent knows, there is always aneed for new toys.

Joyful Connections is at8200 W. State Route 163,Oak Harbor. Their websiteis www.joyfulconnectons.com. For further informa-tion or to volunteer or do-nate, call 567-262-3181.

BY DONNA LUEKE

At Riverview Health Care Center in Oak Harbor whenthe Christmas tree decorations come off the lobby tree,the tree is redecorated with individualized memorial or-naments dedicated to residents who have died in the past

year.The ornaments often reect the interests of the one re-

membered. Decorations on and inside this years orna-

ments include golf tees, the Chicago skyline, bingo me-mentos, a hat and feathers, bowling pins and an OSUemblem.

The tradition was started several years ago by the staff

of Riverview. Staff members each design and make an or-nament that commemorates the life of the departed resi-dent. This past Sunday, in addition to the hanging of theornaments, there was a memorial service at the Riverviewchapel.

Melany Bonell, social worker, coordinates the service.At the simple service Bonell played a beautiful pianonumber. Music and readings and a list of those departed

were shared. We also invite families and staff to sharememories, said Bonell. Families gathered after the servicearound the tree for refreshments and memories.

It was a gentle and tender afternoon.

Riverview remembers

After the non-native Emerald Ash Borer(EAB) was discovered at some Ohio StateParks in western Ohio, The Ohio Depart-ment of Natural Resources (ODNR) Di-vision of Forestry and Ohio State Parksformed a partnership to remove the ef-fected ash trees. The Division of Forestrybrings a level of expertise to this projectthat allows the infested trees to be removedsafely, quickly and in a cost-effective wayfrom the state parks, said ODNR DeputyDirector Glen Cobb. While it is disap-pointing to lose the ash trees, their remov-al is necessary to protect the safety of our

visitors, which is our biggest priority.Approximately 500-700 ash trees will beremoved from East Harbor State Park, Ca-tawba Island State Park and Maumee BayState Park. Ash tree removal at East Har-bor, Catawba and Maumee Bay State Parkswill be completed, weather-permitting,before the spring camping season. Theleftover wood from the trees is free to anyindividual at each of the three state parksin designated areas from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. sev-en days a week. All interested individualsshould contact the park ofces at East Har-bor or Maumee Bay for more information.It is recommended that rewood from theash trees be burned locally by April.

The park managers for the three state

parks would like to thank the Division ofForestry for their help in removing theEAB infected trees. Park Managers areencouraging people to donate a tree toreplace the ash trees that will be removed.People interested in giving a nancial giftor donating a tree may contact the indi-vidual park ofces for more information.

Its not so easy being a college kid these days. The jobmarket for recent graduates has been shaky while, at thesame time, students are leaving school with more debtthan ever before. If you have children who will somedaybe attending college, should you be worried?

You might indeed have cause for concern. Americans

now owe more on student loans than on credit cards, ac-cording to the Federal Bank of New York, the U.S. Depart-ment of Education and other sources. For the college classof 2011, the most recent year for which gures are avail-able, the average student loan debt was about $26,500, ac-cording to the Institute for College Access and SuccesssProject on Student Debt.

This type of debt load, coupled with the struggles to nda well-paying job commensurate with their education, iscausing many recent graduates to get off on the wrongfoot in terms of developing savings and investment strate-gies that could help them throughout their lives.

So, what can you do?If you want to help your kids pay for college, you may

want to consider a 529 plan. When you invest in a 529plan, all withdrawals will be free from federal income

taxes, as long as the money is used for qualied collegeexpenses. (However, non-qualied withdrawals may besubject to ordinary income tax plus a 10% penalty on theearnings portion.) Contribution limits are high, and, con-tributions may be eligible for a tax deduction or credit for

residents in certain states.A 529 plan, while valuable, is not the only college sav-

ings vehicle available. You may also want to consider aCoverdell Education Savings Account, which, like a 529plan, can generate tax-free earnings if the money is usedfor higher education expenses. However, a Coverdell ac-

counts contribution limits are much lower than those ofa 529 plan. You could also establish a custodial account,known as an UGMA or UTMA, which offers some taxbenets and no contribution limits.

Nonetheless, while these vehicles may help you save andinvest for college, they may also divert resources that youmight have used for other nancial goals such as acomfortable retirement. Of course, its not an either-orsituation theres nothing stopping you from contribut-ing to a 529 plan, Coverdell account or custodial accountalong with your 401(k) and IRA.

Clearly, though, it will take discipline and perseveranceon your part to save and invest for both your childrens ed-ucation and your own retirement. Like everyone else, youdont have unlimited resources. But you do have anotherally time. The earlier you begin investing for educa-

tion and retirement, the greater your chances of achievingyour goals in these areas. And by understanding how yourgoals interact, you can work to make sure you dont inad-vertently derail one when saving for another.

Avoiding the student loan debt trap while still mak-

ing progress toward your retirement savings will requirecreative thinking and both you and your children mayhave to make some sacrices along the way. But the ulti-mate goals a college degree that isnt one big IOU and acomfortable retirement are worth the effort.

Pisces Fisheries Inc. of Wheatley, On-tario, was ned $5,000 for shing illegallyin Ohio waters, according to the Ohio De-partment of Natural Resources (ODNR).Pisces Fisheries was sentenced by the Ot-tawa County Municipal Court in PortClinton on Dec. 21 by Magistrate Louis P.Wargo III.

This was a great multi-agency response,said Gino Barna, ODNR Division of Wild-life law supervisor for the Lake Erie LawEnforcement Unit. Gill nets have not beena major issue on Lake Erie in recent yearsbecause of the cooperation with otheragencies. Because of this support network,incidents like this do not go undetected,and Ohios resources are better protected.

The charges were the result of the AdcoII, a gill net tug owned by Pisces Fisher-ies, shing with gill nets in Ohio waterson two separate occasions. On May 5, theODNR Division of Wildlife, with the as-sistance of the U.S. Border Patrol, the U.S.Coast Guard (USCG) Station Marblehead

and ODNR Division of Watercraft, venets belonging to the Adco II were foundin Ohio waters north of North Bass Island.

On May 9, ve more nets set by the AdcoII were found by the U.S. Border Patrolsouth of Middle Sister Island in Ohiowaters. The USCG monitored the netsthroughout the night and boarded theAdco II the following morning.

Wildlife investigators from the Lake ErieLaw Enforcement Unit investigated the in-cidents. Two charges were led for possess-ing gill nets in Ohio, and two charges wereled for shing with commercial nets inOhio without a commercial license.

The use of gill nets is not a legal methodfor taking sh in Ohio. Although commer-cial shermen may use other types of nets,such as trap nets and seines, gill nets wereoutlawed in Ohio in 1983.

Anyone who observes or suspects wildlifeviolations are occurring may report illegalactivity by calling the Turn-In-A-Poacher(TIP) hotline toll free at 1-800-POACHER.
