Students from Hocking College with their fish walleye. The yellow perch daily bag limit is 30 from May 1 through April 30, 2014, with no minimum size limit. Walleye Ohio walleye anglers in 2013 will catch fish mostly from the 2010, 2009, 2007 and 2003 hatches. Walleye from the 2011 hatch continue to show good growth based on 2012 fall surveys and many individuals will be near or over the 15-inch minimum size limit during the 2013 fishing season. Walleye from the moderate 2010 hatch will range from 17-22 inches, while walleye from the 2007 hatch will range from 18-25 inches. The 2003 and 2007 hatches are likely to carry most of the Central Basin fisheries. These walleye will complement the larger 22- to 30-inch fish from the strong 2003 hatch. Large walleye from strong hatches in the mid-1990s will provide Fish Ohio opportunities (greater than 28 inches).
Yellow Perch Expect good perch fishing in 2013, with the largest fish in the eastern areas of the Central Basin. Perch anglers should encounter fish ranging from 7- to 13-inches from the 2011 through 2007 hatches in this years fishery, with major contributions from the 2007 and 2008 year classes. Fish from the large 2003 year class are still present, particularly in the central basin, and will provide some of this years trophy perch opportunities. Smallmouth Bass Smallmouth bass fishing in 2013 is expected to be fair. Bass catch rates in 2012 were the highest observed since

GPAAC events
As this year marks an exciting time for Port Clinton and Ottawa County, so to it is for the Greater Port Clinton Area Arts Council (GPAAC). With the summer season just around the corner, people will soon be making their way back to our area for the enjoyment brought by Lake Erie, the islands, boating, fishing, camping or otherwise simply the thought of getting away. With all the upcoming events planned around the Battle of Lake Erie bicentennial celebration, we may very well see the greatest influx of tourism in our lifetime. In its sixth year, the GPCAAC has already made great strides in promoting the arts in our area, and with good reason. According to Robert Lynch, President and CEO of Americans for the Arts, an organization dedicated to advancing the arts and art education, art carries significant weight when it comes to economic impact. Through a survey conducted last year involving those attending arts-based events in communities across the nation, it was observed that the average person spent $25 beyond admission cost. And where might have that extra $25 been spent? The impact of being drawn to a location by a particular event also resulted in increased patronage at area restaurants, retail stores and hotels. Remember that such spending has occurred in the face of a down economy, which gives suggestion to the value people still place on the arts. Research within the tourism industry has continually shown that arts and cultural tourists tend to stay longer and spend more than the average traveler. Lynchs findings also reflected these results by revealing that nearly one-third of event attendees came from outside the county in which an event was held. This would suggest that if people were going to take the time to travel, they were intent on making their visit worthwhile. In fact, they were shown to have spent, on average about $40; over twice the amount as local attendees. This is the kind of activity that GPCAAC works to help generate. The purpose we serve is to encourage and support the arts in the communities of Ottawa County. We believe that a significant portion of our areas welfare depends on the success of the arts. By fostering a cooperative effort between artists and the public to promote the arts, we are doing our part to help attract positive growth. We believe that art is not frivolous, but very much an essential part of the human creative spirit. GPAAC, Aaron Gonya, Chair Jen Nickel, Carol Morgan, Chris Sacksteder, Keith Fleming, Rebecca Booth

Billboard featuring some of the students participating in the collaborative project between middle school and high school students. Recently the Oak Harbor High School DECA programs financial literacy promotion project, which included high school students Austin Wiegand, Nathan Segaard and Samantha Durivage, partnered with two of Mrs. Kriegers fifth grade mathematics classes at Oak Harbor Middle School. Krieger spearheaded the activity by registering her students into the Toledo Blades Stock Market Contest, sponsored and judged by Fifth Third Bank and the Toledo Blade. Krieger and the DECA students instructed fifth graders on basic investment vocabulary, stock market basics and how the exchanges work. The students are learning how to analyze current events that affect the economy and investments. In addition, the fifth grade students are learning about career opportunities within the financial sector, ranging from financial planners to stockbrokers. In the stock market contest the students are competing against 115 teams from across the area, grades five through twelve. Each team starts with a hypothetical $40,000 to invest in four stock picks from U.S. exchanges. The teams are trying to earn the most money they can from their start up money. The Billboard has generated a great deal of pride.

on that dream. Rather than duplicate what his parents were doing with a vegetable roadside stand in Curtice, he decided to take his chances on a new form of agriculture hitting the Midwest Community Supported Agriculture or CSA for short. People had been asking my parents if they would start a CSA with their vegetables, but they didnt have time to get it going, said Kurt Bench. So my wife and I decided to try developing one as a hobby, and the first year we had 12 customers, said Kurt Bench. That was five seasons ago. This year Shared Legacy Farms CSA in Elmore plans to grow enough vegetables to feed 350 families. And local interest is growing. Common in New England and the West Coast region, CSAs are essentially a vehicle for individuals or families to become members of a local farm and share in its weekly harvest. Members pay a set fee up front when they sign up, and in return each week of the growing season receive a box of fresh, organically-grown vegetables picked by their farmer. Customers pick up their share or box in one of six locations around the metro-Toledo area: Port Clinton (Sutton Center), Elmore, O-I Campus in Perrysburg, the Perrysburg Farmers Market, Sylvania, and Toledo Farmers Market. A half share costs $360, while a bigger, family share costs $680 for the whole 19 week season. Each weeks box contains roughly 7-10 different types of vegetables. Our customers never know what theyre going to get in their box. Its always a fun surprise for them, said Bench. They love learning about new vegetables and enjoying the old favorites. Along with their vegetables, members receive a weekly newsletter with recipes and menu plans to equip them with ways to use up everything in their box that week. It also includes educational articles about farming and even an entertaining journal entry by the farm dog entitled Siennas Diary. That newsletter gets more comments than anything else, says Bench. Since a lot of our customers are unaware of farm life, they enjoy learning about farm topics like the importance of bees or cover crops, or how organic farmers fertilize the crops. It becomes an education for the kids and the whole family. Members of the CSA are also invited to multiple Farm Day events each season, which allow them a peek at farm life in Elmore. They include the Harvest Hayride Potluck, Pizzapalooza, Pesto Fest, Flashlight Pumpkin Hunt, Farm Olympics, multiple canning classes to learn how to preserve vegetables and Spring Work Days. We have a high participation in those Farm Days, and its one of the things we do best. Families like to bring their kids and get their hands dirty in the soil planting potatoes or just walking the fields and smelling the fresh, country air. You dont get that in the suburbs. Its eye-opening for a lot of them. This year, Shared Legacy Farms is also taking another leap. As of April 1st, after five years of building the CSA business as a side-job, Farmer Kurt decided to leave his full-time job with ADM Grain to become a full-time farmer. It was time, said Kurt. I couldnt keep burning the candle at both ends, trying to farm in the dark every night. I had to commit to one or the other. Becoming a farmer has always been my dream. We found out how many customers wed need to make it financially possible to become self-employed, and we just decided to go for it. The gamble is paying off. To date, Shared Legacy Farms is just 25 vegetable shares away from becoming financially self-sustaining. And Farmer Kurt is finally living the dream. The Benches believe that what their customers want most -- aside from organic, delicious and fresh vegetables -- is the farm experience and a relationship with their farmer. Weve found that most of our customers want to be able to look us in the eye and feel good about where their food comes from. They want to be inspired to eat well again. They like being a part of redefining agriculture. Our CSA is changing peoples lives in a very tangible way. For a farmer, theres nothing better than that. To learn more about Shared Legacy Farms or to join their 2013 CSA season, visit their website: www.sharedlegacyfarms.com. If youd like more information about this topic or to schedule an interview, please contact Kurt or Corinna Bench at 419-862-3576 or sharedlegacyfarms@ gmail.com.

Home Instead aims to hire Magruder Hospital scores high with patients 50 CAREGivers in 2013
In a recent review of hospitals, Magruder Hospital stood again at the top for patients satisfied with their hospital care. Magruder ranks 30th in a report released by Beckers Hospital Review titled, The Top 58 Hospitals Patients Rated 9 or 10 in HCAHPS. This report placed Magruder 30th in the country and among the highest-ranked, acute-care hospitals in Ohio. We are pleased and proud, but not surprised, by our ranking, said Todd Almendinger, Magruders President and CEO. Our entire staff employees, physicians and volunteers focus on providing the best care and services to our patients and these survey results validate that our patients believe we are hitting the high quality mark. Beckers list reflected acute-care hospitals with the highest percent of patients who rated their hospital a nine or 10 on the HCAHPS (Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) survey. It is a standard survey sent nationwide to randomly selected patients age 18 and over. Patients rate several aspects of their hospital care, including the hospital staff s communication and responsiveness, the hospital environment, pain management and whether or not the patient would recommend the hospital. A rating of nine or 10 means the hospital usually or always meets or exceeds patient expectations. The high score confirms what Magruder sees on its other patient satisfaction surveys. As an example, inpatient scores are at or above the 95th percentile and emergency services scores have been as high as the 98th percentile as compared to like-sized hospitals nationwide. These high scores have been consistent over the last several years. I attribute our high scores to the dedication of our staff, continued Almendinger. We regularly monitor our patient satisfaction and quality scores to determine how to maintain and improve our performance for patients. We listen to our patients and everyone at Magruder is in charge of this effort - it is a hospital-wide collaboration. The Home Instead Senior Care office serving Erie, Huron and Ottawa counties announced that it expects to add 50 CAREGivers to its existing staff in 2013. The local companys anticipated growth is a key indicator of the increasing demand for home care professionals and the strength of the industry. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of personal care aides is expected to grow by 70 percent from 2010 to 2020, much faster than the average for all occupations. The rate of aging adults is increasing faster than the economy, and talented caregivers are in great demand, said Enedelia Marez, general manager of the Home Instead Senior Care office serving Erie, Huron and Ottawa counties. The growth of the Home Instead Senior Care franchise network is particularly good news for older Americans searching for second careers. Franchisees anticipate mature workers will fill
many of the job openings. Currently, about 30 percent of the networks employees are 60 and older. For many, serving as a Home Instead CAREGiver helps them fulfill personal desires to give back, while offering job flexibility frequently sought by retirees. Many part-time opportunities are available for those seeking to stay active professionally, at reduced hours. We aim to provide quality, compassionate care to our senior clients and to do that, we need qualified, ambitious and caring individuals to serve as our CAREGivers, Hoyer said. Home Instead CAREGiver positions also represent viable career paths for younger Americans who want to help others or pursue caregiving careers. Personal experiences inspired a large number of the current employees to pursue caregiving careers. For more information about current employment opportunities, call 419734-5050 or visit www.homeinstead. com/625.
