gospel music!
The event, “A Night of
Gospel Singing with Doug
Anderson and Molly Pickett,”
will be held Friday, Feb. 20
at Maranatha Bible Church,
located at 10965 Ohio 613 in
Van Buren. The concert begins

When you think of a typical teenager, you don’t often
think of them recording a CD
of gospel music, but that’s what
makes Pickett unique. She has
opened for Triumphant Quartet
and The Hoppers, and has the
opportunity to sing with Dove
Award-winning Anderson of
Ernie Haase and Signature
Sound. Pickett has also had
the honor of singing at The
National Quartet Convention.
Pickett’s first CD, “A Song to
Sing,” was released in November 2012. Two years later, she
released her second CD, “Living
the Good Life.” The Nelons
worked with her and did her
background vocals.
As an original founding
member of the award-winning
group Ernie Haase and Signature Sound, Anderson is happy
to be singing night after night
with a group that tours constantly and is in high demand.
But now he has taken on new
duties as a featured solo artist.
He received a GMA nomination for male vocalist of the
year in 2011, and in 2012 his
first project, “Dreaming Wide
Awake,” won the GMA Dove
Award for country album. This
past year at the GMA Dove
Awards, Anderson’s latest
2014 release, “Drive,” won for
country album and the single
“Love With Open Arms” won
for country song.
Hollywood comes to Hancock County
on Saturday, Feb. 21, for the sixth annual
KeyBank Oscar Night gala to benefit the
American Red Cross of Hancock County.
Oscar Night 007 will be held from 7 p.m.
to midnight at the new Hilton Garden Inn,
1050 Interstate Drive West in Findlay.
“It’s going to be an evening of glamor
and black-tie sophistication with a license to
thrill,” Executive Director Todd James said.
“We’re excited about our new location at the
Hilton Garden Inn and what we’re adding
to the event for our guests.”
James said KeyBank Oscar Night 007
will feature upscale dining and desserts
prepared by the area’s top chefs, including host Chef Casey Johnson of the Hilton
Garden Inn, Chef Tim Cooper of Birchaven,
Chef Tara Hughes of TASTE by Tara, Anne
Hermiller Cheesecakes, Coffee Amici and
Colleenie Cakes. The Ford Jazz and Pop
Ensemble will perform live from 7 p.m. to
9 p.m., playing themes from James Bond
movies, courtesy of Reineke Family Dealerships. Time Warp DJ Service will be playing
dance music beginning at 9 p.m.
“Our guests are the stars of the evening
and we give them a real red carpet experience. This year, that includes high-stakes
fun in the Whirlpool Casino Royale Room
and they can enjoy Commander Bond’s
favorite drink from the Ice Creations frozen
martini louge,” James said.
KeyBank Oscar Night 007 also features
live and silent auctions with items including
a golf package for the Julie Cole Tournament, fine jewelry, Ohio State University
football tickets and more.
James said guests will also be taking
home a “swag bag” with gifts. “We treat
our guests like the stars they are, and stars
always get free gifts at Hollywood parties.
We’re giving our stars the same treatment,”
he said. James said the swag bags will
include a free round of golf for two with
cart at the Findlay Country Club, a $200
value. “The gifts alone are worth more than
the price of the ticket,” James said.
Tickets for KeyBank Oscar Night 007
are $100 each, which includes dining
and open bar. Full tables of eight can be
reserved for $800 and half-tables of four can
be reserved for $400. Tickets are available

UF ready to get groovy Feb. 18-22
It’s a musical about following
your dreams, on roller skates, to
a disco soundtrack.
The University of Findlay’s
vocal music and theater programs will present “Xanadu,”
a hilarious, family-friendly and
rollicking parody of the 1980 cult
classic movie of the same title
that starred Olivia Newton-John,
Michael Beck and Gene Kelly.
Show times will be Wednesday
through Friday, Feb. 18-20 at 7:30
p.m.; Saturday, Feb. 21 at 2 p.m.
and 7:30 p.m.; and Sunday, Feb.
22 at 2 p.m. at the Frank J. Egner
Center for the Performing Arts’
John & Hester Powell Grimm
Theatre on Frazer Street.
Admission will be $10 for
adults; $5 for senior citizens,
UF faculty and staff, and non-UF
students; and $3 for UF students.
Tickets are available at UF’s
box office located in the Alumni
Memorial Union on Frazer Street,
and can be reserved by calling the
box office at 419-434-5335 or by
emailing [email protected].
If the event hasn’t been sold out,
tickets will also be available at the
door.
The UF community is getting
in on this act, and the results are
sure to be memorable. Along with
16 students, the production will
include 13 faculty, administrators and university friends who
will play gods and goddesses on
Mount Olympus.
“Xanadu” highlights the journey of a magical and beautiful
Greek muse, Kira, who descends
from Mount Olympus to Venice
Beach, California in 1980 on
a quest to inspire a struggling
artist, Sonny, to achieve the greatest artistic creation of all time: the
world’s first roller disco. But when
the muse falls into forbidden love
with the mortal, her jealous sisters
take advantage of the situation
and chaos abounds.
The hit-filled score was composed by pop-rock legends Jeff
Lynne and John Farrar. Some
of the ’80s hit songs by NewtonJohn and Electric Light Orchestra include “Suddenly,” “Evil
Woman,” “I’m Alive,” “Magic,”
“Strange Music,” “Don’t Walk
Away” and “Have you Never Been
Mellow.”
The book for “Xanadu,” based
on the original Universal Pictures
screenplay by Richard Danus and
Marc Rubel, has been expanded
with new plot twists and satirical
humor by Tony-nominated Douglas Carter Beane. It won the 2007
Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Book of a Musical, and was
nominated for the Tony Award for
Best Book of a Musical.
UF’s lead actors will be sophomore Tabitha Kittle as Kira, or
Clio, the muse of history; senior
Preston Eberlyn as Danny; senior
Timothy Sherman as Sonny;
senior Alaina Counts as Melpomene, the muse of tragedy; and
freshman Abbey Bubledare as Calliope, the muse of epic poetry.
Other muses will include
junior Allison Dilbone; freshmen
Makenna Fox, Ben Frankart,
Meghan Lasher and Katie Swank;
and sophomore Rose ManselPleydell.
The three “Andrews sisters”
will be played by junior Caitlyn
Murphy, freshman Sarah Schroeder and sophomore Beth Johnson-Walsh.
Senior Katie Mehlow and sophomore Britney McIntosh will play
backup rock singers “The Tubes.”
Gods on Olympus will be
portrayed by Bob Schirmer as
Zeus, Roger Fell as Hermes, Ron
Tulley as Poseidon, A.J. DeFresne
as Adonis, Mike Scoles as Dionysus, Bryan Crissman as Apollo
and John Leach as Ares.
Goddesses will be played by
Denise Anders as Aphrodite,
Cheri-Hampton-Farmer as Hera,
Diana Montague as Athena, Sean
Farmer as Thetis, Elkie Burnside
as Demeter and Rebecca Butler
as Artemis.
Have you ever wondered what
happens at the theater before the
show goes on stage?
Fort Findlay Playhouse presents “Play On!“ by Rick Abbot,
which will explain it all to you
with a “play within a play” full of
zany characters.
A community theater group is
putting on a show called “Murder
Most Foul.” The show sees them
through rehearsal of the dreadful
show, where the script changes
every time they try to rehearse it,
the disatrous dress rehearsal, and
the actual performance where
anything that can go wrong does.
Of course, the show is filled
with characters you see in any
show, but this time the direc-
tor, Geraldine Dunbar (Dotty
Dewulf) and the author of the
show, Phyllis Montague, get to
be onstage as well. As a special
treat, Phyllis is being played by
longtime FFP member Marjorie
Ryan, back from New York City
to make a special appearance on
the FFP stage.
Others in the cast include the
harried stagehand Louie Peary
(Bob Huber), the young hero
Billy Carewe (Andrew Conway),
the sweet ingenue Smitty (Jenna
Gobrogge) and the crazy married
couple Polly and Harry Bennish
(Alicia Anne Creger and Dennis
Clark). Rounding out the show
are Casey Rebal as Aggie Manville, Kelly Gobrogge as Violet
Imbry and George Rustemeyer
as Saul Watson.
The madcap comedy is
directed by Jim Toth, and Barb
Pace is producer.
Come see it Feb. 19-22 or Feb.
26-28 for your look at all the backstage hijinks.
Tickets are available for $12
online, by phone or in person at
the Arts Partnership box office by
calling 419-422-4624 or at www.
artspartnership.com. Available
seats can also be purchased at
the door on performance nights
a half-hour before curtain time,
which is 8 p.m. most nights with
a Sunday matinee at 5 p.m.
The show is produced with
permission of Samuel French.

between the book and the movie.

flexible, the “standard” band consists of a “front line” of trumpet (or

and his mistress, Picasso’s date, an

Through May 3
The nearly 200 limited-edition
and unique works of art in this
exhibition include drawings, dimensional prints, 3-d collage, and sculptural and experimental books. For
more than 50 years, Werner Pfeiffer
(German-american, born 1937)
has experimented with the multiple uses of paper as both a canvas
and a structural material. Much of
his work as a sculptor, printmaker
and painter suggests a fascination
with machines and machine-like
constructions. His drawings are
schematic, his dimensional works
project into space, claiming their
own territory, and his complex
artist books have moving parts. He
is fascinated by puzzles and contradictions, metaphors and wordplay,
and this curiosity serves in turn to
inspire works that are thought-provoking in themselves. a prodigious
artist, Pfeiffer’s works on paper have
been shown and collected internationally. admission: Free. Hours: 10
a.m.–4 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, 10 a.m.–9 p.m. Thursday and

Archie the black bear faces an uncertain future
T
he state department
of ag riculture has
regulatory authority
once administered by
the state department of Natural Resources, and its reach has
extended to a family in Lodi.
Jeff Gillium has owned a black
bear named archie for over 30
years, since archie was 6, and
considers him part of the family.
“I rescued him from a horrible
situation. He was living in a cage
that was 4 feet high,” Gillium said.
The department of agriculture
now says that Gillium doesn’t have
the proper permits and will have
to surrender the tame bruin.
Gillium said he used to get his
permits through the department
of Natural Resources and didn’t
know the department of agriculture was handling them until the
deadline passed.
Gillium had permits through
2013 from the division of Wildlife.
at that point, he was told the laws
were changing and the paperwork
wasn’t needed. New regulations
were created and he claims he was
never informed. Now, authorities
say it’s too late.
While I don’t advocate holding
large, possibly dangerous exotic
wildlife privately, consideration
must be given to the origin and
health of the animal, where it is
kept, and to previous permits held.
Regulations were tightened
after a number of exotic animals
were turned loose by a suicidal
man near Zanesville in 2012.
“The dangerous Wild animal
act was passed in 2012 to prohibit
casual dangerous wild animal
ownership in Ohio. The law provided a reasonable opportunity
for existing owners to obtain a
permit to keep their animals and
this owner did not comply,” said
Erica Hawkins of the department
of agriculture.
Along the Way:
The West’s high country has
drawn men’s imagination and
wanderlust since their first explorations. Some saw unchecked
freedom in the mountains and had
little regard for laws. This was the
case for Earl durand.
at 26 years old and standing
6-foot-3, durand struck an imposing figure while staking his claim
on property near Powell, Wyoming. an expert woodsman, he
lived off the land and often said
he didn’t care much for rules governing hunting and fishing.
On March 13, 1939, durand,
accompanied by three friends,
took to the woods to hunt elk.
durand killed two near an occupied cabin but left them for fear
of getting caught. He later killed
two more.
Just after nightfall, a game
warden, responding to the poaching report, stopped the group at
a roadblock. durand fled and disappeared into the darkness. The
others were taken to the Cody jail.
While on the run, durand killed
a rancher’s calf and cut out the tenderloin. He was nabbed the next
day with the meat hung around his
neck. He was sentenced to 60 days
for poaching while awaiting the
more serious charge of cattle theft.
On March 16, the jailed durand
assaulted a deputy and obtained
the man’s gun. He forced him to
drive to his property near Powell.
Unarmed Police Chief Chuck
Lewis and deputy d.M. Baker
arrived on a hunch that durand
would return. They were shot and
killed on sight.
For four days, a posse scoured
the area. at one farm, durand left
a note for his pursuers:
“Of course, I know I’m done for
and, when you kill me, I suggest
you have my head mounted and
hang it up in the courthouse for
the sake of law and order.”
On March 22, durand killed
two members of the posse, ending
the day’s search. That night, after
dark, he crept from his hiding
place and stole the badge off the
body of one of his victims.
durand used the badge to flag
down a car. He then revealed his
identity and forced the occupants
to drive him to purchase 300
rounds of ammunition and to take
him to an abandoned mine.

passage of the exotic animal law. Gillium claims he was never informed of the permit change and now
the deadline has passed.
Releasing them, he said, “don’t
forget to come to my funeral.”
Time was running out and
durand sensed it. He returned
to Powell to rob the bank. It was
quickly surrounded and an old
West shootout began. He forced
three tellers outside in front of
him while he fired his gun in every
direction. One of his hostages was
killed.
durand spotted 17-year-old Tip
Cox, who had been posted with
a Winchester. durand raised his
gun to fire but the young man’s
reflexes put a bullet into his chest.
He crawled back into the bank
then shot himself.
More than 3,000 people visited
the funeral home and a newspaper reported, “The Tarzan of the
Tetons, who belonged, if the world
ever had a place for such a man,
in another age, has passed into
legend.”

KaLaPaNa, Hawaii — Go
ahead, sink your toes in the sand
on Hawaii’s famous beaches. But
you might be surprised by the
color of that sand — it’s not always
golden. you’ll find black sand, red
sand and even green sand across
the island chain.
The Big Island, Maui and
Molokai offer black sand beaches.
Maui is home to a red beach, and
the Big Island is home to a green
beach, both rare and off the beaten
path. While common golden sand
is made up of small pieces of coral
and seashells broken up by ocean
waves over time, the more unusual
colors found around Hawaii’s
beaches can be traced to volcanoes.
Black sand beaches are formed
“when hot molten lava enters the
cold ocean and is immediately
quenched to solid glass then shatters from the resulting steam,”
according to darcy Bevens at the
Center for the Study of active Volcanoes at the University of Hawaii
at Hilo. Maui’s Kaihalulu Bay red
sand beach is colored by the crumbling volcanic red cinder cliffs that
surround the bay, she said, while
the green sand on the Big Island’s
Papakolea Beach is from olivine
crystals from an eroding volcanic
cinder cone.

ered the beach that was there, and
extended the shoreline, creating a
new beach about a half-mile from
the original. Locals began cultivating a grove of coconut trees at
the new beach as soon as the lava
cooled.
Today a small visitor’s center
at the beginning of the beach trail
displays pictures of the area before
disaster. It takes 10 to 20 minutes
on the trail, through the lava field,
to reach the ocean. don’t go too far
off the trail as the lava field can be
tough to navigate and the region
still has active lava flows.
The beach sits below an eroding lava plateau and strong white
waves rumble across the black lava
rock face. Swimming is not recommended as the waves and current
are treacherous, but the views
are unmatched. and knowing the
beach is only 25 years old is mindblowing — it’s younger than some
of its visitors.
The new Kaimu Beach is at the
end of Highway 130, past Pahoa
town, where the road meets Highway 137. There is adequate parking. Vendors sell fruit smoothies,
barbecue lunch plates and souvenirs. Check with local authorities

Back on the Big Island is the
Papakolea green sand beach, surrounded by olive-colored cliffs and
crashing surf. Olivine crystals
eroding from an ancient volcanic
cinder cone give Papakolea its hue.
Papakolea Beach is located
near the Big Island’s southernmost
point. Beach-goers have to shimmy
down the side of the cinder cone
on a worn trail to the beach. The
sand itself is not as vibrant as some
patches of green you’ll find outside
on the trail leading to the beach.
There are no lifeguards, so swim
with caution.
To get there, drive to the end
of South Point Road via Highway
11 to a dirt parking lot. From
there’s it’s an hour hike (each way)
through a lava field to a worn dirt
road to the beach. Sturdy shoes and
drinking water are essential. The
route offers scenic views, ancient
Hawaiian structures and patches
of emerald green sand. Locals may
offer rides for $15-$20 in 4X4s, but
they’re not legally permitted, so go

February is american Heart
Month, the perfect time to refresh
your knowledge on how to protect
your heart.
Cardiovascular disease
includes heart disease, stroke,
and high blood pressure, and,
according to the Centers for disease Control and Prevention, it
is the number one cause of death
among both men and women. But
most deaths can be prevented
with healthy habits.
There are many steps you can
take to decrease your chances of
developing cardiovascular disease. The first step is to get a
checkup at least once a year.
Standard tests include blood
pressure and cholesterol, as well
as blood sugar. These simple tests
determine if you have or are at
risk of diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol. Having high
cholesterol and blood pressure,
and having diabetes, puts you at
risk.
discuss the results of your
tests thoroughly with your doctor
or specialist, so that you understand your responsibilities for
health. In the meantime, there
are number of other steps you
can take to get started.
Physical activity is a great way
to get your heart healthy. Start in
small increments appropriate for
your level of health, and increase
at levels you and your doctor
decide are best for you.
you can also start by alternating some of your daily choices.
Take the steps instead of the elevator. Go out of your way and let
someone else have that close-in
parking spot. It will make them
smile, and make your heart smile,
too.
Remember, your heart is a
muscle that works hard to keep
you healthy. It needs physical
action, exercise and motivation.
What you eat, or don’t eat, can
have great impact on your heart
as well. Many foods can promote
heart health. Consume five servings of fresh fruits and vegetables
each day, and choose foods high
in fiber, such as whole grains.
Cut out or limit foods high in
sodium, saturated fat, and cholesterol. Choose lean cuts of meats in
appropriate serving sizes.
also, avoid prepackaged convenience foods such as quickcook rice in microwaveable bags,
canned fruits and veggies, as well
as boxed sides. It takes time to
eliminate these foods. Remember
that moderation is key to heart
health.
Keep a positive frame of mind
and ask a friend to join you. It
will help his or her heart, too.
Share healthy recipes, do physical activities together and support one another.

IF YOU WANT to impress your Valentine with an elegant

fruit, pound cake, cookies, marshmallows or anything else
that inspires you.
a Valentine’s day fondue for
even the most clueless of cooks
By ALISON LADMAN
AssociAted Press
Worried your kitchen
skills may not be up to pulling
together something impressively decadent for Valentine’s
day? Fear not. a pricy restaurant meal isn’t your only
option.
We created this delicious,
yet simple pair of fondue sauces
to be easy for even the most
clueless cook. But we didn’t
sacrifice the wow-factor in
the process. Warm chocolatemango and five-spice caramel
sauces are anything but ordinary. For ease, we pair them
with purchased items for dipping — biscotti, pound cake,
sausage and Butternut squash
Personal Lasagnas
Fondue duo of chocolate-Mango
and Five-spice caramel sauces
Start to finish: 11/2 hours (30 minutes active). Servings: 2.
2 cups cubed butternut squash
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
6 ounces loose Italian sausage
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3/

1 egg
1/
3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/
4 teaspoon dried basil
1/
4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/
2 cup heavy cream
6 ounces fresh pasta sheets (three 6-by-81/2 -inch sheets)
1/
2 cup grated mozzarella cheese
Heat the oven to 375 F. Line a baking sheet with foil, then
mist it with cooking spray. also mist the bottoms and sides of
two 4-inch round springform pans.
arrange the squash on the prepared baking sheet in a single
layer. Mist with cooking spray, then season with salt and pepper.
Roast the squash until lightly browned and tender, about 25 minutes. Set aside to cool for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, combine
the sausage and onion. Saute until the sausage is cooked and the
onion is tender and lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta, egg, Parmesan,
basil and oregano. Set aside.
Transfer the cooled squash to a blender, then add the cream.
Puree until smooth, then taste and adjust seasonings. Set aside.
Use a round biscuit cutter that fits just inside the springform
pans to cut 8 rounds from the sheets of pasta.
Spoon about 2 teaspoons of the pureed squash evenly over
the bottom of each springform pan. Set 1 pasta round over the
squash in each pan. Spread 2 tablespoons of the ricotta mixture
over the pasta, then spoon 3 tablespoons of the sausage mixture
over it. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, then top with another
round of pasta.
Repeat the layering process until both pans are full. Finish
each lasagna with a final round of pasta, a generous amount of
squash puree and a liberal sprinkle of mozzarella.
Set the pans on a rimmed baking sheet, then bake on the
oven’s middle shelf for 40 minutes, or until lightly browned and
bubbling. Cool for 10 minutes before setting each lasagna on a
serving plate and removing the sides of the pans.

IN FEBRUARY, we want comfort food, not fussy
food. Yet, some of our favorite comfort foods come
laced with garlic and can be a downer when it comes
to a Valentine’s date. Sausage and butternut squash
personal lasagnas, made without red sauce are the
perfect solution. They’re easy to assemble, cook faster
than a whole lasagna and look great on the plate.
Spend time on your
sweetie, not at the stove
By J.M. HIRSCH
AP Food editor
The notion that a great Valentine’s day dinner should be
fancy or somehow over-the-top
is way overrated. I’ll take delicious comfort food over a fussy
meal any day, regardless of the
romance quotient.
and when I want real comfort
— deep down, rich, winter night
snuggling comfort — I want
noodles and cheese. Now that is
a romantic combination. How to
pare them for this special dinner,
however, requires some thought.
a basic mac and cheese could
be a little too pedestrian (particularly if your partner is hoping
for at least a little pizazz). and
most red sauce pasta dishes rely
on that great killer of romance
— garlic.
I liked the idea of lasagna,
but a giant baking dish of lasagna tends to radiate “potluck”
more than “intimate dinner.” So
I decided to downsize this meal,
using individual springform pans
to create personal lasagnas.
They are easy to assemble, cook
faster than a whole lasagna and
look great on the plate.
For dessert, keep it simple. In
a small saucepan, stir together
a few tablespoons of strawberry
jam with a splash of balsamic
vinegar and a bit of black pepper.
Heat until just warm, then drizzle over vanilla or chocolate ice
cream. Crumble almond biscotti
over the top and call it a night.
For the chocolate fondue:
1/
2 cup mango puree
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
3 tablespoons honey
For the caramel fondue:
1/
2 cup half-and-half
5 ounces caramels (about 17 to 18 pieces)
1/
2 teaspoon five-spice powder
For dunking:
Wafer cookies
Fresh berries
Biscotti
Marshmallows
Pound cake, cut into cubes or sticks
Angel food cake, cut into cubes or sticks
In a small saucepan over medium, heat the mango puree
and butter until simmering and the butter has melted.
Remove the pan from the heat and add the chocolate and
honey. allow to sit for 2 minutes, then stir with a rubber
spatula until smooth. Set aside, but keep warm.
In another small saucepan over medium, heat the halfand-half until it simmers. add the caramels and five-spice
powder, then cook, stirring constantly, until the caramels
are melted and the mixture is smooth.
Transfer the two mixtures to 2 small serving bowls. Set
on a platter surrounded by the various items for dunking.
alternatively, set up 2 heated fondue pots according to
product directions and pour the dipping sauces into those.
Serve immediately.

Area family returns
from Venezuela
The following news items first
appeared in the Fostoria ReviewTimes in February of 1954:
Mr. and Mrs. Carl Bartch
(she being the former Miss Janet
Jacobs) and two children, Chris,
4 and Vickie Sue, six months old,
have arrived home from Caracas, Venezuela, for a leave prior
to Mr. Bartch’s next assignment
with the U. S. State Department.
Mr. Bartch, who has been connected with the U.S. embassy
in Caracas for more than two
years, will assume new duties in
Toronto, Canada, after his current leave.
Prior to his assignment in
Venezuela, Mr. and Mrs. Bartch
were on the Isle of Cyprus in the
eastern Mediterranean Sea for
three years and their first child
was born there.
They will spend their leave
visiting in the homes of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Floris Bartch,
Findlay and Mr. and Mrs. Harry
Jacobs, 571 N. County Line
street, Fostoria.
Plans for the construction of
a new church edifice in Fostoria,
the third within recent months,
were announced today by the
Rev. Joseph Ferrante, 139 W.
High street, pastor of the Assembly of God church.
T he Rev. M r. Fer ra nte
announced that the congregation of the church, now housed
in a building at 671 Lynn street,
with a seating capacity of only
150 persons, has purchased a site
for a new church on the east side
of the 700 block on N. County
Line street, just south of Jackson
gene kinn
street.
The lot, with 52 feet frontage
and 198 feet deep, is located at
the rear of a residence facing on
Jackson street. The lot was purchased from Grover Myers.
Plans call for the construction
of a one-story brick veneer building with a full basement. The
sanctuary will have a seating
capacity of 350 and the basement
will provide for adequate Sunday
School facilities.
One new church, Trinity Episcopal, was constructed in Fostoria in 1953 and work already is
underway on the construction of
a new edifice for the Church of
the Nazarene, facing on Sandusky
street, west of Caples street.
The Rev. Mr. Ferrante said
a financial campaign, to be
conducted by mail, has been
launched. The work of clearing
the ground will get under way
early this spring and it is hoped
that construction work on the
edifice will start this year.
Not only will the new site
provide more adequate facilities
for the church but parking space
will be available at the rear of the
building, the Rev. Mr. Ferrante
said.
Plans and preparations for a
huge Fostoria Merchandise and
Automobile Exposition, to be
held May 19-20-21, were made
by committee heads under the
direction of Justin Nye, general
chairman, at the Richwood Room
of the Mar Jo Restaurant, Thurs-
day.
The exposition, an outgrowth
of the highly successful home
show, staged by the Fostoria
building material firms last
spring, will be held in large tents
to be erected on the old athletic
field at the rear of the Fostoria
High school building.
Two tents, erected in the form
of a “T”, will be used. One will
be 40 feet by 180 feet and the
other will be 40 feet by 150 feet.
Booths will be set up in 10-foot
blocks on each side, to permit
viewers to pass down the center
of the tents.
Mr. Nye appointed the following committee chairmen: Ed
Townsend and Kenneth Weeks,
prizes; Joe Tulley, Robert Gillig,
Howard Hicks and Lowell Graves,
display space; David Yerkes and
Wilbur Knipple, arrangement of
booths; Howard Hicks, budget
and J. Oliver Pore, automotive.
The exposition, which will
be an annual event and will be
similar to the Home and Builders
Show, in 1953, will be open to all
business firms affiliated with the
Chamber of Commerce in Fostoria for participation.
Hours for the exposition
were established as follows: on
Wednesday, from 7 to 10 p.m.;
on Thursday and Friday, from 2
to 10 p.m.. Guards will be on
duty 24 hours per day to protect
the merchants’ display items.
A feature of the event will
be distribution of prizes each
evening and a grand prize at
10 o’clock each evening. Adult
admission will be 25 cents and
children will be admitted free, if
accompanied by parents or other
adults.

Flat screen TVs are
bigger and greener
Dear EarthTalk: I am in the
market for a new flat screen TV.
Are some models greener than
others? — Michael Kavanaugh,
Rome, NY
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, Americans’ 275
million TV sets burn through
some 65 billion kilowatt hours
of energy each year, representing four to five percent of U.S.
household electricity consumption. Each U.S. household spends
around $200/year for electricity
to power their TVs and related
equipment. But while we may
not be giving up our TVs anytime soon, there is some light at
the end of the tunnel, as the consumer electronics industry has
started to prioritize reducing its
environmental footprint.
While screen size has continued to increase, the overall mass
of televisions is much smaller
than back in the days of boxy
cathode ray tube (CRT) sets.
And many new flat screen models
(LCD, OLED or plasma) sport
hyper-efficient screens that can
be tweaked even further by the
user to reduce their power needs.
Some of the energy-saving features that this new generation of
greener TVs makes use of include
screens back-lit by light emitting diodes (LEDs), automatic
brightness controls that adapt
the picture to the light intensity
of the room, “local dimming,”
where sections of backlighting
are dimmed or turned off when
not needed, and the ability to
pre-determine picture settings
optimized to save energy. All of
the major TV makers—Vizio, LG,
Samsung, Panasonic, JVC, Sharp,
Toshiba, Sony—now offer powersipping models.
“Even though televisions are
the most widely owned device in
the U.S., with a 97 percent household penetration in 2013, their
total annual electricity consumption dropped 23 percent from
2010,” reports the Consumer
Electronics Association (CEA),
the trade group for electronics
manufacturers that puts on the
annual Consumer Electronics
Show in Las Vegas.
The U.S. Environmenta l
Protection Agency’s (EPA’s)
ENERGY STAR program certifies appliances, electronics and
other energy-efficient consumer
items to help Americans save
money and protect the climate
through saving energy. If you’re
shopping for a new TV, start
your search at EnergyStar.gov,
where you can find and compare
new models that are all at least
25 percent more energy efficient
than conventional ones. The easyto-use site allows you to checkoff which brands, screen sizes,
technology types, resolutions
and other features you’re looking
for before it serves up a list of
matches complete with estimated
energy use over a year. The EPA
reports that if every TV, DVD
player and home entertainment
system purchased in the U.S. this
year qualified for an ENERGY
STAR label, consumers would
keep some 2.2 billion pounds of
greenhouse gas emissions out of
the atmosphere, the equivalent of
taking 200,000 cars off the road.
Of course, buying a new TV
introduces another potential
environmental hazard: that
associated with the disposal of
your old set. Throwing your old
TV in the garbage where it will
end up in a landfill is not only
bad for the environment, given
the risk of chemical and heavy
metal leakage, it is also typically
illegal. If you’re buying your
new TV from a local store, ask
them if they can take back your
old set. Also, the CEA’s Greener
Gadgets website provides an upto-date list of resources to find
out how to responsibly recycle
old TV sets and other electronics
directly with the manufacturers
or through third-party recyclers.

Your Birthday
Born today, you are both a
thinker and a doer, and you do
your best to balance thought and
action in all of your affairs, from
the trivial to the momentous, the
personal to the professional -- and
beyond. When things are out of
balance, in fact, you tend to wind
down and get little done, preferring instead either to sink into a
depression or spin your wheels to
no end whatsoever. It is essential,
then, that you always do what you
can to remain squarely between
thinking and doing in everything
that happens in your life. What
this means is that you will be able
to apply considerable brainpower
to even the most complicated situations and come out on top because
you know how to turn an idea into
productive and rewarding action.
You aren’t one to take criticism
lightly, so you do what you can to
avoid it. When you cannot avoid it,
you view it with a keen and often
biting sense of humor. Laugh at it,
you believe, and it will not sting
you -- though this may simply be a
way to avoid showing others how
much it stings!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
-- You may have a few apologies to
offer as the day wears on, as others
realize just what you have done -albeit unintentionally.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -It’s a good day to make plans with
someone who is not as organized
as you are. He or she has the vision, and you have the know-how.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -You can find what you need if you
look in the right place, of course
-- but someone else may have a
shortcut for you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
-- What you do today must be in
no way substandard. Take pains
to ensure that everything is in its
proper place before you begin.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
-- What began only a short time
ago is coming to an end very soon.
Today you have the opportunity to
reflect.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- Your sense of humor will see
you through a trying time. What
happens after that depends on your
ability to negotiate.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You
may have trouble sticking with
those who are going for broke,
so be sure to rely on those inner
resources you know are in full
supply.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -What you observe from a distance
may be more instructive to you
than anything in which you may be
involved more directly.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- It’s
a good time to debrief with someone who has been observing you
as you’ve gone through a rather
difficult phase.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
-- You will find it very easy to
entertain yourself throughout the
day. Indeed, you may choose to
pass up an opportunity for social
interaction.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21) -- A surprise is in store for
you if you think that everything is
going to fall out according to plan.
Nothing is that stable right now!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- You’ve been facing every
day recently as if it were the trial
you’ve been waiting for, but today
is, in fact, the real test!

There were major advancements in
the treatement of two types of cancer
last year.
The first is metastatic melanoma. We
know that melanoma can be uniquely
dependent on the immune system for
treatment. a specific pathway has been
identified, called Pd1/PdL1, that regulates the immune system.
a new class of drugs inhibits this
pathway and allows the body’s own
immune system to
fight tumor cells.
The two drugs that
allow this to happen,
pembrolizumab and
nivolumab, are available.
We have seen
spectacular responses
from these two drugs.
a deciding factor
about this new treat- Cole
ment, however, will
start in the next year
because studies suggest that bladder
cancer and lung cancer may respond
well to the Pd1 inhibitors, too. So far,
patients undergoing these treatments
have experienced almost no side effects.
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is
a very common blood disorder, particularly among the elderly. Most often
this disease is mild, symptomatic
and requires no treatment, but more
advanced cases do require treatment.
Last year, we had three new drugs
released for this single disease.
The first one, which is given intravenously, is called obinutuzumab and
is allowed only in patients never treated
before. We have treated six patients and
all six have had a complete response
within the first month.
The other two oral agents are ibrutinib and idealistib. Many patients
respond to these drugs, and again,
experience minimal side effects. These
drugs will also soon branch out into
other diseases.
There were many new drugs tested,
but these few drugs mentioned had the
most striking results in my clinic.
Bevacizumab has just gotten approval
for metastatic cervical cancer. This is
not a common cancer in our practice,
but we are happy to have this addition.
also, we have firm data that combining some known drugs had better effect
particularly in HER2-positive, a type of
breast cancer.

Bedtime often becomes a battleground between
harried parents and fearful children.
a fretful 5-year-old, whiney and irritable, tells his
mom that he doesn’t want to go to bed, that he is afraid
of the dark. all too often, parents are very familiar
with this scenario.
To the child, his perceived fear might be genuine.
To the parents, their child might be seeking their
attention.
Nighttime fears occur in many
children between the ages of 4
years old and 12 years old and, if
unaddressed, they can lead to sleep
disruption, behavior problems, and
possibly other anxiety disorders.
Nighttime fears can be
expressed in a variety of ways. In
addition to being afraid in the dark,
which is most common, children
might imagine burglars or mon- Branwell
sters, or they may fear unfamiliar
sounds.
One child told her parents that she was afraid that
she might die if she fell asleep in the dark. another
child dreamt that the dark swirled her around like a
tornado.
Once these fearful children do go to sleep, they
often wake up throughout the night and go to their
parents’ bedroom for reassurance and comfort, resulting in a lack of sleep for both child and parents.
additionally, experts have reported that almost
half of the children who had a fear of the dark were
also afraid of being alone, thus, putting them at risk for
other anxiety disorders, such as generalized anxiety
disorder and separation anxiety disorder. Not surprisingly, loneliness and depression can develop as well.
It is worth noting that children who fear the dark
either had a sibling or a parent who was also afraid of
the dark. additionally, while it may seem ridiculous
to some, fear of the dark can be learned by observing, especially when children watch frightening TV
shows or movies.
Unfortunately, many parents do not know where
to turn when seeking treatment for their children’s
nighttime fears.
It is important for parents to be reassuring. This
may mean staying in the room until the child falls
asleep.
Some parents use children’s books. These often
give parents ideas in a humorous, playful way, so that
children can actually have fun overcoming their fears.
a parent, with their child, can also gradually expose
them to their fear, through repeated contact with it.
If your child continues to show anxiety over their
nighttime fears, you might consider professional help.
While a child’s phobias seem exaggerated to us, for
them, they are very real.
