Class projects
The foster care awareness project is just one of two being tackled by this years Leadership Ottawa County class. The other Ottawa Countys Best Kept Secrets will be covered in an upcoming issue of The Beacon. We looked at like it was a missing piece of the puzzle, said class member Conrad Marsili. Marsili, who owns Kidsville News, had run stories in his publication about the need after hearing from Judge Kathleen Giesler of the Probate and Juvenile Court. Another class member, Shelley Asmus of Habitat for Humanity, learned about the issue during the Take Back

Sewing smiles
In September of 2010, I wrote in The Beacon of my granddaughter, Sarah Elizabeth, who was undergoing cancer treatment at the time. We remain grateful for the response we received. The recent Beacon article, Sew Smiles for Sick Kids, served as a reminder of that time when the horror of a childs ongoing cancer treatment was firmly seated on a young familys doorstep. In the 18 months or so that Sarah was involved in her various lifesaving and life-altering procedures; there wasnt one admission that there didnt appear a cheerful spot in an environment that otherwise wasnt much fun for a kid. In the midst of the pain and fear of a little kid and the care and concern of her stressedout parents, the bright pillowcase

this countrys Military Industrial Complex. Our future as a democratic society is now in doubt. Big corporations that develop military hardware need LIVE war as a laboratory for their products, which they then sell to many countries around the world. We have no security interest in Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan or Syria. After all, because of this Complex, we have the worlds greatest inventory of hydrogen bombs to keep us safe! This ongoing military engagement is only political! Our sons and daughters are being killed, and all the politicians say is they died for the cause, which is really whatever the politicians tell us is important for their electability. Let all of us stand up to REALITY!!! STOP WAR!!! Thank you. Dick and Elaine Renn
FOSTER from 1A
the Night event when the Habitat booth was placed next to a booth for Adriel, a foster care licensing agency. And so a series of chance encounters has led to a movement for change. Its turned into this wonderful relationship where theyre really helping us get the word out, said Jessica Smith, licensing specialist with Adriel. The class has teamed up with the agency and the Ottawa County Department of Job and Family Services and is speaking to various groups around the county to explain the need for more local families. If we could maintain children in their school and their community it really is in their best interest, said Smith. Ideally, the county would have at least two families per school district and thanks to the project, at least one more helping home is in the works. Joan Washburn, a member of the LOC class, is in the process of becoming licensed to provide respite care. Though not a full-time foster care provider, Washburn will be eligible to take in a child on an emergency basis or fill in if a foster family needs to go out of town or just needs a break. Conrad brought up the fact that there were so few people qualified that kids were being sent to other counties, Washburn said. It just really called to my heart. I didnt seem to be able to forget it. Washburn followed up with Adriel and began the licensing process, which includes six full days of classes, home inspections and extensive interviews. Classes were great, she said. It was
a total learning experience from CPR to how to handle a belligerent child. Foster families have total control over the kids that come into their homes from age range to physical and developmental disabilities. They are extremely flexible, Washburn said. They want it to work for the childs sake. According to Smith, Adriel works hard to make the children are placed into the right families. We want to find the right fit. We really want kids to excel, she said. In addition to keeping the kids local and placing them in appropriate families, Adriel also tries to make the kids comfortable by handing out personal comfort totes another piece of the puzzle the LOC class is looking to help out with. Each child receives a tote upon entering the foster program. The bag is their possession sometimes their only possession and is filled with hygiene products, a pillow and comforter and comfort items such as stuffed animals and puzzle books. I have had multiple kids that I have brought the black bags to where they have looked through them and made comments, You mean I get to keep this?, said Sharon Fortkamp of Adriel. We have so many kids come to us with only the clothes on their backs, so the black bags give them something to have of their own. The class set a goal of 60 totes and other groups around the county are jumping in to help. Local Girl Scouts collected items at their recent Thinking Day event and Ottawa County Senior Centers are challenging each other to see which group can collect the most. something wonderful. Dr. Judge noted another positive result of the amazing seven week campaign. I believe that we now have a stronger team at St. Boniface. The students, parents and teachers bonded in this cause. It came down to a decision of the bledick Art Scholarship to be held at Averys on the Peninsula. Kathryn was an inspirational young lady who passed away too soon following a courageous battle with cancer. She was always the highlight when she did the opening lap of the local Relay for Life event.

Better Together
Our Community is Better Together is the theme for Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month 2012. The Ottawa County Board of DD and other related organizations celebrate Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month in March, and invite you to consider the true meaning of this years theme. Statewide organizations devoted to serving individuals with developmental disabilities are planning special events in March to raise public awareness of the many abilities people have, regardless of disability. Our Community is Better Together encourages people to understand that when people with disabilities are welcomed into local neighborhoods, workplaces, houses of worship and schools, everyone wins. This is a time when our organization focuses on encouraging the public to better understand the people we serve, said Melinda Slusser, Superintendent. During Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, we encourage people to learn more about the 450 people in this community who have developmental disabilities and to recognize that all of us have talents and abilities that we can offer to make this a better place to live. Together we can accomplish more. To kick off the month, the Ottawa County Board of DD hosted an open house and provider fair March 1. The event featured displays and booths from both partner and provider agencies from across the county. The open house allowed for vendors to share information regarding services available to county residents. Those in attendance enjoyed music performances by individuals with DD. Children in attendance were able to participate in a Make-It, Take-It craft item as well as have some fun with Truman the Dinosaur from Kidsville News. Thank you to ActivStyle, Imagine Art, Oak House, OCTA, for their donations of door prizes. As you are out in the county, you may notice additional items in support of DD Awareness such as: Billboards located at Ohio 163 west of Oak Harbor, Ohio 53 south of the Mon Ami entrance, Ohio 53 north of turnpike exit 6 and on Ohio 53 west of Genoa by Clay Center Road. Banner on school building located on Ohio 163 between Port Clinton and Oak Harbor Bulletin inserts in many of the churches throughout the county Displays in local libraries Posters in county business windows including our photo contest winner. We hope that you will join us during the second part of March, and reach out to someone who has a developmental disability. Youll learn that everyone has something to offer and that when we are all together our communities are stronger, we accomplish more and everyone wins! For more about the services offered by Ottawa County Board of DD, call the office at 419-898-0400, visit www. ocbdd.org or follow us on Facebook.

Respite is defined as: a short period of rest or relief from something difficult or an obligation. We dont often think of caring for our loved ones as difficult or even an obligation. But it can be.

Otterbein North Shore offers Respite Care to give you that holiday. You may just need some time to collect your wits. Or other family members need your attention. Your family may need a vacation. Or, maybe Mom needs more than you can do right now. Perhaps you work full time and the kids are at school all day so your loved one is spending too much time alone. Whatever your reason, Otterbein North Shore has an option to help your family. Call Robyn Karbler at 419-7988203 for more information.
