Lighthouse Landing Hall
was the site of an exhibit honoring the late Toledo artist and
World War II veteran Eddie
York.
On display were 65 busts of
celebrities created by Mr.
York, along with his journals,
tools, gadgets, documents,
coins, and many photos.
Josh Nagel and Charles
Boyk created a Toledo Tribute
video which was played during
the exhibit. The video is a
heartwarming tribute to Mr.
York. It also tells the story of
his friendship with Ali Joseph,
owner of Angry Sea, which
was later named Mugshots in
honor of Mr. York.
Among the hundreds of
visitors to the three-day exhibit
were Mary Alice Powell,
Mayor Paula Hicks-Hudson,
and Toledo City Councilwoman Lindsay Webb. Bob
Hendoza, a member of the burial squad at Mr. York’s funeral,
presented the American flag
from the funeral to Mr. Joseph.

This year, 8,710 women in
Ohio will be diagnosed with
breast cancer. And 232,670
women will be diagnosed in
the United States.
“These are scary statistics
to think about and something
must be done about it,” said
Lissa Guyton, of WTVG13
ABC. “We are making
progress–we have discovered
behaviors that can prevent
breast cancer and developed
new treatments to beat it. As a
result, more women today are
surviving breast cancer than
ever before. But, more needs
to be done to finish the fight.”
Ms. Guyton was the emcee
for the March 14 kick-off
breakfast for the American
Cancer Society’s (ACS) Making Strides Against Breast
Cancer of Northwest Ohio
held at the Hilton Garden Inn
at Levis Commons.
The annual 3.1-mile noncompetitive
fund-raising
Strides walk will take place at
9:30 a.m., Saturday, May 9, at
the Town Center at Levis
Commons.
Last year, more than 2,300
walkers joined the Northwest
Ohio Strides event and raised
more than $118,000.
“This year, we need even
more walkers to join us to help
finish the fight,” said Ms.
Guyton, a member of the
Wood County ACS board of
directors. “We are all here
today for a reason. Maybe you
are here in honor of a breast
cancer survivor–the memory
of their journey still fresh in
your mind. Maybe you lost a
loved one to breast cancer and
you are walking in their memory. Maybe the memories of
your own breast cancer experience motivate your efforts.
Or maybe you are here to
make sure no one ever has to
hear the words, ‘you have
breast cancer.’”
Money raised from Strides
events across the country help
fund a national call center that
answers more than one million
requests annually for cancer
information. It allows free
lodging for cancer patients
traveling for treatment. Last
year alone, patients saved
$23.5 million in lodging costs
through ACS’ Hope Lodge
program.
ACS’ Road to Recovery
program provided more than
380,000 rides last year to cancer patients to or from treatment, said Ms. Guyton, adding
that the program also connected more than 72,000
women newly diagnosed with
breast cancer to a breast cancer
survivor.
“Many women battling
breast cancer are taking lifesaving drugs, such as Herceptin and Tamoxifen, which
were developed by American
Cancer Society-funded researchers,” said the board
the hunt was moved to Friendship Park, where it is held
now.
The hunt is set up, and
more than 1,600 plastic eggs
filled with candy are scattered
in five large circles throughout
the park. The children are separated into ago groups. The
hunt starts promptly at 10
a.m., when the infants up to 2
years of age start their hunt.
I have been the official
starter for many years. I remind the adults that this hunt
is for the children, please let
them pick up the eggs.
An adult may accompany
an infant or toddler but they are
encouraged to let the child pick
up the eggs. It does not matter
how many eggs each child
finds, each child will get a
prize.
Each age group starts their
hunt separately to give parents
time to travel to all their children’s circles. No adults are allowed in the circles for the
four older age groups.
Here are a few suggestions
for an enjoyable egg hunt:
•Make it fun for your child,
not a competition.
•Bring something for your
child to put their eggs in. A
bucket or basket is easier than
a bag.
•Practice picking up eggs
with your child at home.
•Come early to get a parking place and find your child’s
age group.
•Dress children appropriately. If the ground is wet or
soft, boots are suggested.
•Reassure your child that
they will get a prize. Be grateful for what your child receives. Some prizes are worth
more than others, but they are
all free.
There is no pre-registration
or sign up. Just show up before
10 a.m. on April 4, at Friendship Park.
Anyone who would like to
make a donation to continue
this great Point Place tradition
can do so by dropping donations off at Rite Aid, 4869
North Summit Street. Please
mark your donations to “the
Attention of Nancy Anderson.”
Checks should be made
payable to PPBA Easter Egg
Hunt and can be mailed to P.O.
Box 5074, Toledo, OH 43611.
Please mark the outside of the
envelope for Easter Egg Hunt.
The Easter Egg Hunt is
made possible by the generous
contributions from Point Place
and Shoreland businesses, individual PPBA members and
area residents. Remember to
thank and support our local
businesses.

PPBA to celebrate 40th annual Easter egg hunt Saturday, April 4
By Joyce Ejhinger, PPBA
This year marks the 40th
Point Place Business Association Easter Egg Hunt. It is one
of the largest and oldest hunts
in the Toledo area.
It was originally put on by
the Point Place Jaycees at Ottawa River Park more than 40
years ago. The PPBA took it
over and made improvements
each year.
Before becoming a PPBA
member 28 years ago, I lived
next to Ottawa River Park and
took my niece and nephews to
the hunt. After becoming a
member, I have been involved
with the egg hunt every year
since then, except one.
In the early years, real hard
boiled eggs were colored by
senior citizens from St. John
the Baptist Catholic Church.
Some had numbers on them. If
a child found an egg with a
number, they turned it in for a
prize. Later, we went to colored plastic eggs filled with
candy but still used the number system. Only children with
numbered eggs got one or
more prizes.
One year it rained so hard
that we just handed out eggs
and prizes to every child who
came out. The idea came up
that every child should go
home with a prize. So the new
system for handing out prizes
was started. We have seen all
kinds of weather over the
years–sun, rain and even
snow.
There have been a number
of chairmen of the hunt over
the years. Nancy Anderson has
been the chairman for at least
the past 15 years. She purchases prizes with donations
collected. She stores the prizes
until they are sorted into age
groups by volunteers the
weeks before the hunt. Volunteers load up the prizes early
on the day of the hunt and deliver them to the park.
When the new Ottawa
River School was being built
Children in the 3-4 year age group gather eggs at last year’s event.

member. “We’ve invested
more than $84 million in
breast cancer research to date.
In fact, just this past year here
in Ohio, ACS funded 13 researchers with more than $6
million in funding toward
breast cancer research. So we
have our advocacy work,
groundbreaking research and
free comprehensive support.”
She noted that since 1989,
breast cancer death rates have
declined by more than 34 percent–more than 203,000 lives
saved.
“I have been supporting
the American Cancer Society
for many, many years. I love
supporting this organization,
but I am also eager to stop my
support,” said Ms. Guyton,
who lost her father to colon
cancer when she was 9 years
old, and her sister passed
away in 2011 from breast cancer. “I know that I speak on
behalf of all of you when I say
that we are ready to put the
American Cancer Society out
of business and celebrate the
day when cancer becomes a
thing of the past and we finish
the fight.
“We have talked a lot
today about the capability
each of you has to make a difference in the fight to end
breast cancer. But the ‘what’
and the ‘how’ do not matter
much if we don’t remember
the ‘why.’”
The kick-off breakfast
honored many local breast
cancer survivors and recognized sponsors for Making
Strides Against Breast Cancer.
Sara Shiels, of Temperance, Michigan, was the honorary survivor at the
breakfast.
“As a survivor, I know we
have inspiring, meaningful
and truly important stories to
share. Take the time to hear
those survivor stories–be inspired by them and understand how much impact it had
on their life,” said Ms. Shiels.
“I am forever grateful for the
wonderful gift this journey
has given me. I have never felt
more loved, I have never felt
more support and I have never
felt so much positive energy
and kindness from close
friends and strangers alike.”
The honorary survivor said
there are two reasons she is
pleased to be a part of Strides
and the American Cancer Society–her mom and giving
back and supporting the community.
On February 29, 2012, Ms.
Shiels lost her mom to breast
cancer. And less than two
years later, on September 12,
2013, eight days before her
35th birthday, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
“It seemed to come out of
nowhere,” she said. “I underwent two rounds of fertility
treatment,
followed
by
chemotherapy and radiation.
The last 18 months truly was
an emotional journey–lots of
ups and downs for sure. And
my mom was with me every
step of the way. Losing my
mom as well as progress for
all others battling cancer,
made my fight and recovery
that much more important to
me.”
This past September, in
celebration of her birthday
and her one-year cancer free

anniversary, Ms. Shiels held a
fund-raiser with family and
friends raising more than
$1,500 for ACS.
And then in December,
Ms. Shiels received some extraordinary news–she was expecting her first child.
“I never thought I’d have
children of my own,” said the
mother-to-be. “And I want to
be here for many, many years
to come. That is why everything we do for the American
Cancer Society and Strides is
so important. Let us form
teams and raise funds to advance research and put an end
to this fight. By coming together and supporting this
common cause, we can really
make a difference–one stride
at a time.”
Co-chairwomen of the
Strides walk are Casey Pogan
and Julie Shope.
Dan Galloway, manager of
the Kroger store in Perrysburg, presented a $15,326 donation to ACS to kick off the
fund-raising.

include the University of

AHA celebrates National Walk Day April 1
In celebration of National
Walking Day on Wednesday,
April 1, the Northwest Ohio
Division of the American
Heart Association is inviting
everyone to walk at least 30
minutes during the day.
Americans are spending
more time than ever sitting in
front of screens–at work and at
home–which means less time
being active. Physical inactivity has a detrimental effect on
health. Studies have shown
that inactive people can double their risk of heart disease.
“We want people to lace up
for their shoes and get moving
on National Walking Day and
every day,” said Lori Mika,
Heart Walk director for the
NW Ohio Division of the
American Heart Association.
“Whether it’s walking, running, biking, playing sports or
joining a group class, the goal
is getting more active.”
Several local companies
are getting involved in National Walking Day and getting more active on that day.
Buckeye CableSystems is
kicking off their new wellness
program on April 1. The company is using the American
Heart Association’s free activity tracker to “walk” to popular destinations across the
country, such as New York
City. According to company
representatives, each team
member walking the equivalent distance to New York City
by New Year’s Eve will win a
prize. The company plans to
establish checkpoints along
the way to keep employees engaged and active. Their theme
is “Smile and Move” or
“Smove!” and they plan to
participate in the American
Heart Association Greater
Toledo Heart Walk on May 30.
ProMedica Toledo Hospital also is planning an event on
National Walking Day called
“Walk with the Docs.” Dr. Jim
Bingle will lead a walk along
with AJ Farah, PA, Ken Armstrong, COO of PHVI and
other cardiologists from
ProMedica. The walk will kick
off in the auditorium with a
heart healthy message, and a
healthy lunch will be served to
all participants at the conclusion.
The American Heart Association recommends at least
150 minutes of physical activity weekly for adults, and 60
minutes a day for children.
Being physically active is important for overall wellness.
About 80 percent of adults
don’t get enough activity to
maintain good health. Regular
physical activity can help an
individual:
•Lower his or her risk of
heart disease and stroke.
•Maintain a healthy weight.
•Reduce or control blood
pressure.
•Raise HDL (“good”) cholesterol.
•Reduce the risk of diabetes and some kinds of cancer.
•Sleep better.
•Have more energy.
Physical activity is anything that makes a person
move his or her body and burn
calories. This includes things
like climbing stairs, gardening,
housework, shoveling snow,
walking the dog, playing
sports and dancing, as well as
traditional aerobic activities
like walking, running, swimming and biking. Strengthening and stretching exercises
are also good for overall stamina and flexibility.
Sign up to participate in
National Walking Day (as an
individual, school, community
organization or company) at
heart.org/NationalWalkingDay.
Participants are invited to
wear red shoelaces on National Walking Day and show
how they are “lacing up” for
heart and brain health by posting a picture of their red laces
in action with the hashtag
#AHALaceup to their social
media accounts.
Happy
Easter!

Helldobler named new girls varsity
basketball coach at Central Catholic
The Central Catholic
High School department of
athletics has named Corri
Helldobler as the new girls
varsity basketball coach.
A native of Point Place,
Ms. Helldobler recently
served as the interim Lady
Irish girls varsity coach with
an 18-6 record, and led the
team to a TRAC Championship and the OHSAA District finals.
She holds a bachelor’s degree in secondary education
with a focus on history from
Adrian College, and a minor
in business administration.
She was a four-year starter
on the women’s basketball
team. She graduated from
Central
Catholic
High
School in 2003, where she
earned three varsity basketball letters, was a member of
the 2001 State Final Four
Team and earned four City
League titles.
Ms. Helldobler has taught
and coached at Central
Catholic for seven consecutive years. She was the junior
varsity basketball coach for
three years before advancing
as the varsity assistant the
last three years.
“It is a tremendous honor
to be chosen to lead the Lady
Irish basketball program.
The program has a rich tradition and also great potential
for continued success,” said
Ms. Helldobler. “My heart
has always been with Central
Catholic and the Lady Irish
basketball program. I am
grateful to the athletic department, administration,
players, parents, coaching
staff and my incredible family for their support. I am beyond excited to have this
opportunity.
“I couldn’t be more proud
of the accomplishments our
team achieved this season.
The players and staff worked
Corri Helldobler
extremely hard with an undeniable commitment to the
goals we established for the
program. To see the hard
work pay off in a TRAC
championship is very rewarding. We are more motivated than ever by the
success of this past season
and will continue our dedication to hard work and the
goals of making the entire
Irish community proud.”
“We are pleased to announce the appointment of
Corri Helldobler as Central
Catholic’s girls varsity basketball coach,” said Dan Gill,
director of athletics. “Her extensive coaching expertise,
passion and knowledge of
the game without a doubt elevates not only the level of
competitiveness in our girls
basketball program, but our
athletic department as a
whole. She will continue to
be an integral ingredient in
making Lady Irish basketball
one of the premier programs
in our region and throughout
the state of Ohio.”

New business filings released
Secretary of State Jon
Husted has announced that
7,918 new entities filed to do
business in Ohio in February.
These numbers are up
slightly compared to February 2014, in which 7,753
new entities filed.
In 2015, the Secretary of
State’s office has assisted
with a total of 15,423 new
business filings (January
and February). This is
slightly lower than the same
period last year in which
there were 15,533 new business filings.
The state has experienced
record business growth over
the past five years, beginning
in 2010. Growth in online
business filings has been
steady and available online
services continue to be expanded through the Secretary
of State’s Ohio Business
Central service.
In January, Secretary
Husted urged lawmakers to
pass legislation to cut fees
associated with forming a
new business in Ohio, which
resulted in the introduction
of both House Bill 3 and
Senate Bill 26. This move
was made possible by Secretary Husted’s responsible fiscal stewardship over the past
four years where his office
has reduced its operating expenses by more than $14 million, representing a 16
percent cut, from the previ-
ous administration.
Both pieces of legislation
are moving quickly through
the Ohio legislature. Upon
passage, it would mark the
first time this fee has been
cut in modern history and
would make Ohio the least
expensive state in the region
to start and maintain a new
business.
Though the most visible
role of the Secretary of State
is that of chief elections officer, the office is also the first
stop for individuals or companies who want to file and
start a business in Ohio.
While recognizing these
numbers can’t provide a
complete picture of Ohio’s
jobs climate, they are an important indicator of economic activity that Secretary
Husted hopes will add to the
discussion of how to improve
the state’s overall climate for
business.
New business filings are
classified as forms filed with
the Ohio Secretary of State
that declare the formation of
a business entity, including
for-profit, non-profit and
professional corporations,
limited liability companies,
partnerships, limited partnerships and limited liability
partnerships. Filing as a business in Ohio does not guarantee the company will begin
operations, be profitable or
create jobs.

Ohio motorists can use now Sen. Edna Brown announces
for Valentine Theatre
electronic proof of insurance funding
State Senator Edna Brown and I look forward to all of the
Ohio motorists can now
use electronic devices to
show proof of insurance for
their vehicles. This change
has been implemented thanks
to the enactment of Senate
Bill 255, sponsored by Senator Edna Brown during the
130th Ohio General Assembly.
“This was a common
sense step forward which
takes advantage of widely
used technology and adds
convenience for Ohioans,”
said Senator Brown. “I was
proud to lead the effort to
bring this change to our
state.”
The new law does not
eliminate the printed insurance identification cards currently in use, but allows
drivers to provide the same
information through an electronic device.
has announced that the Ohio
Facilities Construction Commission has approved funding
for the Valentine Theatre community project in Toledo,
sponsored by the Toledo Cultural Arts Center.
“I am always happy to see
funding go towards local community projects in Toledo,”
said Senator Brown. “The
Valentine Theatre is a hub for
cultural and economic activity
future programing this funding will help facilitate at this
beautiful facility.”
The Toledo Cultural Arts
Center operates the Valentine
Theatre and will use the grant
money to purchase equipment
directly related to the function
of the facility. The project is
expected to be completed by
June 2016 and the facility will
remain open and operable
throughout.

TRIXIE
Trixie is a seven
month old American

full of energy and has
plenty of love to give.
Trixie has had a
rough past, but she just
keeps moving forward
and is excited to start a
new life in a new forever home.
Trixie only has
three legs, but you
wouldn’t even be able to tell from the way she runs and
plays. She does not let anything bring her down. Trixie gets
along great with other dogs and would love to be a part of a
family with other dogs. Trixie will need a good amount of
exercise to help keep up with her level of energy. Trixie is
spayed, up to date on vaccinations and is microchipped.

the guitar through hands-on
interactives,
performance
video, audio and stunning images.
The exhibition is composed of three elements: the
science of sound; the evolution, engineering and design
of the guitar, and the guitar’s
cultural impact.
“The science of sound is a
rich area for scientific discovery. Guitar: The Instrument
That Rocked The World uses
an instrument that most people are familiar with to explore some fascinating science
concepts. ” said Carl Nelson,
chief scientist for Imagination
Station. “Sound impacts our
lives on a near-constant basis,
but many people never think
about how sound is created
and transmitted.”
“The guitar is the most enduring icon in American history,” according to HP
Newquist, the executive director and founder of the National Guitar Museum. “It has
been around longer than baseball, basketball, soft drinks
and sports cars. This exhibition is a celebration of all that
and more. It’s hard to find
anyone who hasn’t been affected by the guitar, whether
as players or as fans of music
ranging from country and folk
to jazz and rock. And it may
be apocryphal, but it’s said
that the two most recognizable
man-made shapes on the
planet are the Coke bottle and
the electric guitar.”

Lake Erie license plate proceeds
fund projects within watershed
The Ohio Lake Erie Commission (OLEC) awarded two
quarterly grants through
Ohio’s Lake Erie Protection
Fund at its December meeting
in Columbus.
The fund was established
to help finance research and
projects aimed at protecting,
preserving and restoring
Lake Erie and its watershed.
The fund is supported by
Ohioans through tax-deductible donation or purchase
of a Lake Erie license plate
displaying the Marblehead
Lighthouse or the Lake Erie
life preserver.
Grants were awarded to:
•John Carroll University–
$15,000 to develop and test a
water quality metric for algal
phytoplankton in the Lake
Erie nearshore area. The metric will be used to score the
health of algal phytoplankton
communities and the impacts
of phosphorus. Researchers
will use a numeric scale based
on sensitivity values of organisms at each sampling site.
The metric will serve as a tool
for assessment of water quality along Lake Erie’s
nearshore.
The Ohio State University
–$14,956 to compare compo-
sition, size and seasonal variation of fish species at three
different water conveyance
structures in Lake Erie coastal
wetlands. The project will assess which structures provide
the most efficient and cost-effective fish passages for wetland restoration purposes.
Results will help inform management decisions related to
maintenance of coastal wetlands for both water levels and
fish access.
All donations and proceeds
from the sale of Lake Erie license plates are used to fund
grants to benefit Ohio’s Great
Lake. Citizens may make a
tax-deductible donation directly to the Lake Erie Protection Fund by sending a check
to the commission office at
111 E. Shoreline Drive, Sandusky, Ohio 44870.
OLEC was established to
preserve Lake Erie’s natural
resources, protect the quality
of its waters and ecosystem
and promote economic development in the region.

Navy Petty Officer Johnetta Heckard named Sailor of the Year
Intelligence Specialist 1st
Class Johnetta Heckard, of
Toledo, was recently named
the 2014 Chief of Naval Personnel/Manpower, Personnel,
Training and Education
(MPT&E) Sailor of the Year
(SOY) at a luncheon ceremony held in the Port O’ Call
Banquet and Conference
Center on Naval Station
Great Lakes.
The announcement was
made at the luncheon by
Chief of Naval Personnel
Vice Admiral William Moran,
who oversees all commands
in the MPT&E domain.
“Sailor of the Year allows
us to pause and reflect on
service, humility and the importance of recognizing excellence,” said CNP Moran.
Ms. Heckard participated
in a weeklong interview
process conducted by CNP
Fleet Master Chief April
Beldo and MPT&E domain
force master chief petty officers. Along with other finalists for the award, she toured
a number of commands on
the Quarterdeck of the Navy
at Naval Station Great Lakes.
During their tours at these
training commands they were
given an opportunity to mentor sailors at Training Support
Center (TPC) Great Lakes
and recruits at the Navy’s
only boot camp, RTC Great
Lakes. They toured where recruits conduct their final capstone event of boot camp,
Battle Stations, the culmination of their boot camp training on board the Navy’s
largest ship simulator, the
210-foot-long replica of an
Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, USS Trayer (BST
21).
They also observed the
weekly Pass-In-Review graduation, in the Midway Ceremonial Drill Hall. There they
joined more than 1,000 parents, relatives and loved ones
to watch as 599 recruits graduated and became U.S. Navy
sailors.
The group also was given
a day to take in numerous
Chicago attractions, including
the German submarine U-505
at the Museum of Science and
Industry, the 103rd floor Skydeck of the Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower), Pritzker
Military Library and Navy
Pier. And they were the guests
of honor of the National Basketball League’s Chicago

Bulls and were joined by
CNP Moran at the game with
the Charlotte Hornets at the
Bulls’ home stadium, the
United Center.
Before the game on the
Bulls home floor, the sailors
were given an on-court salute
by the Bulls organization and
met several players from each
team, including Hall of Fame
center and former New York
Knick Patrick Ewing, now a
coach for the Hornets.
Ms. Heckard said she was
very humbled by her selection and the entire process. “I
feel overwhelmed right now,
humbled, thankful for the opportunity, and kind of
shocked that my name was
called. It was kind of like an
‘are you sure?’ type moment.”
“For the most part, I’m
just humbled and thankful to
just even be part of this and
then to be recognized and selected as MPT&E Sailor of
the Year has been overwhelming,” she said.
Ms. Heckard credited her
command, her mentors and
sailors that work for and with
her for getting the 13-year
sailor this far into the annual
competition. Her next step
will be to go through the
Chief of Naval Operations
(CNO) Shore Sailor of the
Year competition in Washington, D.C. If she is selected,
she will automatically promote to chief petty officer.
“The opportunities I’ve
had to be mentored and to
mentor, I think, has really
helped me become a better
Sailor,” said Ms. Heckard.
“I’ve always believed that if
you keep your focus, keep
your eye on the prize or on
your goals, everything will
work out.”
The Sailor of the Year program is an opportunity for
Navy commands to recognize
a Sailor that represents the
best of the Navy by demonstrating both professional and
personal dedication.
Admiral Elmo Zumwalt,
the then Chief of Naval Operations, or CNO, initiated the
Sailor of the Year program in
1972, to recognize the outstanding Atlantic and Pacific
Fleet Sailors.
The following year, the
Shore Sailor of the Year program was introduced.
Today, every Navy ship,
station and command around
the world chooses its Sailor of
the Year based on leadership,
professionalism, dedication,
and superior performance.
These selectees compete
against recipients from other
commands competing at
higher and higher echelons
until the Navy’s four finest
are chosen from U.S. Fleet
Forces (Atlantic); Navy Reserves; U.S. Pacific Fleet, and
from shore activities. These
four are then meritoriously
promoted to Chief Petty Officer.
The Toledo Botanical Garden will sponsor a spring
workshop series at the Robert
J. Anderson Urban Agriculture
Center.
The programs are free and
open to the public. Reservations should be made at least
