With News of Point Place, Shoreland and Washington Township areas A weekly newspaper serving Point Place, Shoreland and the surrounding area of North Toledo Please Recycle This Newspaper $20.00 per year Point Place plans special events during Biggest Week in Birding The Point Place-Shoreland community is gearing up to join in the celebration of the Biggest Week in American Birding, May 8-17. Northwest Ohio has become a popular spot for nature lovers to enjoy the 10-day festival. The area’s proximity to Lake Erie makes it a perfect place to watch the spring migration of songbirds. The birds make a “pit stop” at areas along the southern edge of the lake to refuel before crossing the water. Trees and shrubs are not fully developed at this time of year, making the birds easier to spot. Two local parks offer prime locations to observe birds during their migration. At Cullen Park, 4500 North Summit Street, shorebirds can be found along the rugged, mile-long causeway, as well as warblers and other perching birds in the trees along the path. Bay View Park, 4120 North Summit Street, offers the Howard and Mary Pinkley walkway, where one may find an active eagle’s nest and appreciate views of the Maumee Bay. The “Biggest Week” is hosted by the Black Swamp Bird Observatory, a local bird conservation organization. Last year’s event attracted birders from all over the world. Traditionally, nature lovers have been drawn to events at Magee Marsh Wildlife Area and Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge, among others. This year many special events have been planned in hopes that birders also will flock to the Point. A page in this year’s Biggest Week Visitors Guide Magazine invites everyone to “Come bird with us at Cullen Park and Bay View Park.” The following free workshops, walking tours and kayak tours offer opportunities to get in touch with nature: •May 9, from 10 to 11:30 a.m.–Guided Birding Walk at Cullen Park. Meet in the back left corner of the park at 4500 North Summit Street. •May 10, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.–Kayak Tour from Cullen Park to Grassy Island.

Washington Twp. Police issue crime alert bulletin The Washington Township Police Department has received several complaints of a possible telephone scam. The caller–who in some instances is a male and in some instances a female– claims to be an agent for the IRS. The caller then threatens the intended victim that they face arrest for delinquent back taxes owed to the IRS unless a debit or credit card is given over the telephone. In one case, a “509” area code showed up on the caller I.D. Anyone who receives a telephone call of this nature should simply hang up the telephone. Do not give out credit or debit card information. The IRS does not contact individuals by telephone or e-mail. IRS contacts are made by registered U.S mail. Anyone who suspects fraud over the telephone or by someone in person, should call 9-1-1 immediately. The WTPD reminds residents that they should never give out their personal information in this situation.

In 2015, the Secretary of State’s office has assisted with a total of 25,525 new business filings. “If you build it, they will come,” said Secretary Husted. “Over the past few years, we’ve turned an outdated and cumbersome business startup process into a modern, 21st Century system that helps businesses hit the ground running in less than 24 hours. If we want jobs in Ohio, we need businesses; and to attract businesses, we have to move at the speed of business, which is exactly what we are doing today.” The historical high puts the state on track for a recordbreaking year in 2015. The state has experienced record business growth over the past five years, beginning in 2010. Under the leadership of Secretary Husted, the state has made it possible for more than 80 percent of all filings to be done online with one in two companies now being established electronically State’s Ohio Business Central service. The state legislature is poised to give final approval in the coming weeks to legislation that will cut fees associated with forming a new business in Ohio. Secretary Husted urged the General Assembly to undertake this initiative in January after responsible fiscal stewardship over the Secretary of State’s office has reduced operating expenses by more than $14 million over the past four years, representing a 16 percent cut from the previous administration. 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 ognizing 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 forprofit, non-profit and professional corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships, limited partnerships and limited liability partnerships.

Mom and Pop project to celebrate TBG’s 50th year Rep’s production of “State seek to win blue ribbons while Sunflower faces will be smiling on the Toledo area this summer in recognition of Toledo Botanical Garden’s 50th year. Community members also are invited to participate in Operation Sunflower, the planting of sunflowers in celebration of the TBG’s anniversary. The goal is to have sunflowers blooming at business and non-profit locations, parks, community gardens, vacant lots, backyards and front yards in neighborhoods throughout the community. Sunflower Week is May 10-16, the opportune time for planting sunflower seeds to ensure the most dramatic, community-wide blooming event. During Sunflower Week, the Andersons will give a free scoop of sunflower seeds with a purchase from the Andersons’ nursery. “It is an awesome undertaking, but we hope the community will respond and embrace this opportunity to Class of 1956 plans reunion spread a little sunshine,” said Gretchen DeBacker, TBG board president. “We invite everyone to join us in this effort, however large or small their planting space.” No green thumb is required to grow sunflowers. They are among the hardiest of flowers. They just need direct sunshine and occasional watering. In six to eight weeks, sunflower blossoms should appear. Those who want to showcase their efforts and have an opportunity to win prizes can join the fun and competition by emailing photos of their prized sunflowers to [email protected]. Select one of the following categories and submit by August 14: •Before and after photos (demonstrate beautification) •Largest flower (photo must include measurement) •Most unique growing location (creativity) For detailed planting and growing information and contest details, go to www. toledogarden.org and look for sunflowers.

The home’s former location is fitting because Ms. Jones, an accomplished organist and singer, subsequently started the museum’s music program. Her love of music will once again fill the Peristyle when “Flashback and Flash Forward: The Helen Beach Jones Memorial Concert” is presented there at 7 p.m. on May 8. The special organ concert pays tribute to Ms. Jones, her husband and the many who sang with the Toledo Women’s Chorus she founded. Ms. Jones gave up her Victorian home on Monroe Street to make way for the new concert hall, and she never lost interest in it, according to her grandson, Samuel M. Jones III. A church organist, she regularly created, produced and directed concerts of the Toledo Woman’s Club Chorus, widely thought to have been held in the Peristyle, he said. Performing on May 8 will be Marilyn Keiser, a renowned concert organist and professor emeritus at Indiana University, and Jessica Park, a 2014 graduate of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music and an American Guild of Organists award winner. The program will conclude with the audience participating in singing “Hymn to Truth,” written by Samuel Jones and put to music by his wife, Helen. In addition to the concert, “Samuel “Golden Rule” Jones: Music and Reform in Early 20th Century Toledo” will be presented in the Museum’s Little Theater at 2 p.m. Saturday, May 9. Samuel “Golden Rule” Jones, Helen’s husband and former mayor of Toledo (18921904), ran his company, Acme Sucker Rod, with the motto, “Do unto others as you would do unto yourself.” He referred often to the Golden Rule, which led to his nickname and his popularity during his tenure as mayor of Toledo at the turn of the 20th Century. Mary Natvig, professor of musicology at Bowling Green State University, will give a presentation with musical accompaniment about the former mayor that includes the performance of songs composed and written by Mr. Jones and his wife, Helen. Both events are free and open to the public. Parking is free for museum members and $5 for non–members.

Great Backyard Bird Count sets new species record Page 8 — May 5, 2015 — POINT-SHORELAND JOURNAL Participants from more than 100 countries submitted a record 147, 265 bird checklists for the annual Great Backyard Bird Count and broke the previous count record for the number of species identified. The 5,090 species reported represents nearly half the possible bird species in the world. The four-day count was held February 13-16, the 18th year for the event which is a joint project of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society with partner Bird Studies Canada. The information gathered by tens of thousands of volunteers helps track the health of bird populations at a scale made possible by using the eBird online checklist program. GBBC participants even reported two species, Millpo Tapaculo and Santa Marta Screech-Owl that have not yet been described in the official scientific Trumpeter Swans at Au Sable River photograph by Douglas Jackson of Oscoda Charter Township, Michigan. literature. The bitter cold, snowy weather in much of the northeastern United States and much of Canada was a major factor in this year's count. In much of the Northeast, Sunday was particularly frigid and windy, and the number of reports showed an obvious dip as some counters were forced indoors. As one participant in Quebec noted, watching birds came with a price as wind chill temperatures rarely topped zero degrees Fahrenheit. For those who did brave the cold, the GBBC data will help to better understand the impact of the cold on birds and bird populations. For example, scientists will be able to compare the abundance of some so-called “halfhardy” species, such as Carolina Wren and Yellowrumped Warbler, to see if this cold winter has affected their populations. Snowy Owls are one of the most charismatic and emblematic birds of winter. They breed in Arctic regions worldwide and drop south in some winters (“irrupt”), depending on food supplies and their breeding success in the previous summer. The winter of 2013-14 was a huge year for these owls which appeared in amazing numbers across the Great Lakes states, Northeastern United States, Atlantic Coast, and southern Canada. GBBC reports for 2015 also show a surge in Snowy Owl sightings across the same range, though the fre- quency of reports is about half of last winter’s. This is a well-known phenomenon with Snowy Owls, with the year after a very large invasion often being referred to as an “echo flight.” Winter finches–such as Evening Grosbeaks, Pine Siskins, redpolls, and crossbills–are popular among GBBC participants. These birds also “irrupt” south of their usual haunts depending on food supplies, so their numbers in a given region may change widely from year to year. 2015 was a banner year for Pine Siskins which are reported on 10.5 percent of GBBC checklists so far. Compare that to 1.2 percent of checklists in 2014 when most siskins stayed far north in Canada. Siskins will likely be hanging around through April and May, especially if the feeders are stocked with their favorite nyjer (thistle) seed. Surprisingly, a Eurasian species, the Brambling, appears on the Top 10 list of most reported species for the first time ever. Since November, some of these birds have been spotted on the West Coast and others strayed even farther by turning up in Montana, Wyoming and Ontario, with one 2015 GBBC record in North America from Washington state. But the Brambling’s appearance among the Top 10 can be traced to one checklist from Germany reporting a flock estimated at one million birds. Up to three million Bramblings have been known to gather at that site. In Lucas County, 153 checklists were submitted, with 57 different species sited. The most popular place for bird watching was Maumee Bay State Park. The top bird sightings were, in order, Trumpeter/Tundra Swan, Mourning Dove, Canada Goose, Northern Cardinal, Gadwall, Passerine, Herring Gull, Mallard and Finch.

Mobile Meals of Toledo is partnering with Graber’s Animal Hospital to collect pet food during the month of May. Mobile Meals of Toledo has participated in The Season of Suppers campaign during the holidays, whose goal is to feed pets of homebound seniors and clients who receive meals from the meal program. This national program through Meals on Wheels Association of America (MOWAA) calls attention to the importance of pets to the well-being of homebound clients. Helping keep these companion pets well fed, healthy and part of the family for as long as possible became the motivating factor behind the campaign. Due to the success of the holiday program, it has been extended to other months during the year to assist clients with the cost of keeping their pets.

When young animals are discovered with no adults in sight, the adult is often nearby waiting for people to leave the area before they retrieve their young. Most wild animals are raised by only one adult or are not tended to during the daylight hours. In the case of white-tailed deer, a doe will hide her young from predators by leaving it alone in a secluded spot, such as a grassy meadow or a flower bed. A hidden fawn has virtually no scent and when left alone is difficult for predators to find. The doe will tend to the fawn or fawns several times each night. It is important to leave animals in the wild. If people disturb a nest, they should replace the young animals and the nest material as close to the original location as possible. It is a myth that wildlife parents will not tend to young because of human scent. State and federal laws protect and regulate wildlife and endangered species in Ohio. Only licensed wildlife rehabilitators, working under special permits issued by the ODNR Division of Wildlife, may possess and care for native wild animals. These laws are in place for the benefit of humans as well as wild animals. To further protect young and vulnerable wild animals, keep pets under control so they do not raid nests and injure wild animals. Keep pets inoculated against parasites and diseases. Check for nests before cutting down trees or clearing brush. It is best to cut trees and clear brush in the autumn when nesting season is over. Educate children to respect wildlife and their habitat, observing wildlife from a distance. Contact your local wildlife official before taking action. Call 1-800-WILDLIFE or visit wildohio.com to be connected with the proper individuals. Toledo Museum of Art offers a day for the dogs The Toledo Museum of Art is hosting a day for the dogs called K-9 May 9, a museum event geared toward pets and their owners. From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 9, the Welles Sculpture Garden will be the setting for a number of Fidofriendly activities, from wiener dog races to a highfrequency music concert. Visitors are invited to bring their dogs along for the fun. Others visiting the museum that day will have the opportunity to meet adoptable dogs from area rescues. The festivities are being held in conjunction with the museum’s exhibition “Best in Show: Animal Illustrations from the Mazza Collection,” which is on view in Gallery 18 through July 5. Admission is free to K-9 May 9 and the exhibition. “The children’s book illustrations on display in Best in Show reveal the special relationship we have with our pets,” said K-9 May 9 organizer Stephanie Elton, the museum’s social media and digital communications manager and a self-proclaimed dog enthusiast. “We thought this would be a great way to celebrate that bond.” The museum has issued a Pet Portrait Challenge for children age 12 and younger in conjunction with K-9 May 9. Parents or guardians can upload a picture of their child’s animal illustration to Facebook.com/ToledoMuseum for a chance to win prizes, including the opportunity to have their drawing turned into a glass sculpture. Contest entries are due by Saturday, April 25. During K-9 May 9, visitors can watch dachshunds compete for “top dog” honors in races from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Participants also can enjoy hands-on or paws-on activities hosted by the museum’s Family Center, where pet parents can make a mold of their pet’s paw and children can create portraits of their fa- Connect with your customers!

A storyteller will read children’s books featured in the Best in Show exhibition, and docents will provide guided tours of the Welles Sculpture Garden. Pet owners are asked to clean up after their dogs (bag dispensers will be handed out to the first 500 visitors and trash bins are located throughout the grounds). There also will be water bowls placed along pathways so visiting pets can stay hydrated. All dogs must be on a non-retractable leash that is six feet or shorter. In case of inclement weather, the event will be moved indoors and only assistance dogs will be allowed inside museum buildings. Cancellation notices will be published on the museum’s website and social media channels. Toledo Museum of Art offers scholarships for summer camps The Toledo Museum of Art is offering scholarships to children and teens interested in its summer camp program. Participants from ages 5 to 13 can try their hand at traditional creative challenges like painting and sculpture, or try newer course offerings like game design and Lego architecture, in the museum’s halfand full-day sessions. Teens ages 14 to 18 can enroll in glassblowing, mural painting or digital photography, among other subjects. Scholarships cover the full cost of tuition, which ranges from $100 to $225 per week. Teen work-study opportunities also are available. “The scholarship program was established to supply families with more opportunities for art enrichment,” said Mike Deetsch, the museum’s interim director of education. “We’re glad to be able to provide funding that will help give children an artistic outlet this summer.” The camps, which last one week each, are offered in halfday sessions from 9 a.m. to noon or from 1 to 4 p.m. Fullday sessions are from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Students can explore different course offerings by registering for more than one week of camp. Full-day students are provided a chaperoned dining space, but are required to bring their own lunch. For a detailed list of course offerings, to register for a camp or to apply for a scholarship, visit toledo museum.org/learn/classes.
