Thousands of birding enthusiasts will ock to North-
west Ohio on May 3-12 for the fourth annual The BiggestWeek in American Birding event.
The three previous Biggest Week events drew more peo-ple than the one before it, and this years festival will drawbirders not only nationally but from Panama, Ecuador,Guatemala, Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan andChina.
Kim Kaufman, executive direc-tor of the Black Swamp BirdObservatory in Oak Harbor,said thats no accident.We have put tremen-dous effort into mar-keting this area andusing a lot of part-nerships, like Birdsand Bloom magazine,
Bird Watching maga-zine, Bird WatchersDigest and AudubonMagazine, she said. Last
year, we were featured inSpirit Magazine, which is thein-ight magazine for SouthwestAirlines.
Nationally and internationally, this fes-tival is becoming one of the top birding festivals in thecountry. Certainly, word of mouth is a component, butour (BSBO) marketing effort has been reaching a lot ofpeople. Were including a strong tourism component intoour mission.
Kaufman said this years theme is Birding Is For Every-one, and the event will again include birding workshopsand bus trips to various birding locations in Ohio and
Michigan.We had just under 64,000 people here between the end
of April and the middle of May last year, Kaufman said.I expect that number to continue to increase every year,because it has been. Our marketing efforts are reaching
more and more people.Black Swamp added the new website (www.biggest-
weekinamericanbirding.com) this year. We wanted some-thing fresh and new. Were adding new events and activi-ties that outgrew the reach of the old website. This allows
the new website to be treated almost like a blog,where we can add content in a much more
uid way.The festival headquarters will
be Maumee Bay Lodge andConference Center, but
there will be a lot goingon at BSBO, Kaufmansaid.
Bus trips are tak-ing people into fourcounties Lucas, Ot-
tawa, Erie and San-dusky, she said.Were also running
some trips into Michiganthis year, to Point Mouillee
State Game Area in Mon-roe County. All of our bus trips
leave out of Maumee Bay and go outto birding areas. Point Mouillee has always
been really good for shorebirds and waterfowl. Its an in-teresting place and not that far to take people.
The goal of each The Biggest Week festival is to raiseawareness and appreciation for birds and habitat conser-vation. In 2012, The Biggest Week helped raise more than$25,000 for local bird research, education and conserva-tion in Northwest Ohio. The festival also raised fundsto purchase 200 copies of Guia de campo a las aves de
Norteamerica, Spanish-language bird guide that serves asa valuable tool for diversity outreach programs in the des-
ert Southwest and northern Mexico.Proceeds from the 2012 Biggest Week also provided
funding to help build a new shorebird viewing platform
on the Boss Unit of Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge, andcontinued development of the new Crane Creek EstuaryTrail near the Magee Marsh Boardwalk.
Hundreds of different kinds of birds will be on displayduring The Biggest Week, but the stars of the annualspring get-together in this part of the state are the war-blers.
This is one of the best places in the world to see so manywarblers in one place, Kaufman said. Last year birderssaw 222 (bird) species, including 37 warbler species.
Kaufman added that BSBO is really pumping up ourefforts to get local people to come out and try birding.Several workshops have been set up to teach people aboutbird watching.
This festival is so unique, she said. We get birders fromall ages, all walks of life. This is a massive inux of peopleand birds coming together in Northwest Ohio. Were do-
ing some Urban Bird Walks with Toledo Metroparks. Wellvisit Toledo Metroparks and try to get people out birding.
The Metroparks walks are scheduled to be led by twoAfrican-American birders, Doug Gray and Dr. Drew Lan-ham. They are working to encourage people of color to gobirding and will host speaking engagements and UrbanBirding Walks during The Biggest Week.
Kaufman stressed that, yes, The Biggest Week in Ameri-can Birding is about birds and bird watching, but there isa more all-consuming effort each year the festival is heldhere.
We want people to come here and have a good time,Kaufman said. Its such a huge economic boost for theregion, but we hope it helps people become much moreinvested in protecting the habitat that brings the birdshere. If we dont conserve the habitat, the birds arent go-ing to come and the birders arent going to come.

Lake Erie anglers should enjoy diverse shing oppor-tunities in 2013, according to the Ohio Department ofNatural Resources (ODNR).
When you consider the mix of species and sizes thatare seasonally available to Ohio anglers, we are optimis-tic about the shing prospects this year, said Jeff Tyson,Lake Erie sheries program manager for the ODNR Divi-sion of Wildlife. Weather is always a wild card at LakeErie, but if conditions are similar to those in 2012, anglersshould have excellent seasonal opportunities this year tocatch walleye, yellow perch, smallmouth bass, white bassand steelhead.
Lake Erie walleye and yellow perch sheries are managedthrough an interagency quota system that involves Ontar-io, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio jurisdic-tions. Each jurisdiction regulates their catches to complywith quotas and minimize the risk of over-shing thesespecies. Quotas for the upcoming shing season are de-termined through consensus agreement by these jurisdic-tions through the Lake Erie Committee of the Great LakesFishery Commission, which were recently announced for2013.
The walleye daily bag limit is four, and the yellow perchdaily bag limit is 30 per angler in Ohio waters until April30. The daily bag limit will be six walleye from May 1through Feb. 28, 2014. From March 1, 2014, through April30, 2014, the daily walleye bag limit will be four. A 15-inchminimum size limit is in effect during the entire season for
walleye. The yellow perch daily bag limit is 30 from May 1through April 30, 2014, with no minimum size limit.
WalleyeOhio walleye anglers in 2013 will catch sh mostly from
the 2010, 2009, 2007 and 2003 hatches. Walleye from the2011 hatch continue to show good growth based on 2012fall surveys and many individuals will be near or overthe 15-inch minimum size limit during the 2013 shingseason. Walleye from the moderate 2010 hatch will rangefrom 17-22 inches, while walleye from the 2007 hatch willrange from 18-25 inches. The 2003 and 2007 hatches arelikely to carry most of the Central Basin sheries. Thesewalleye will complement the larger 22- to 30-inch shfrom the strong 2003 hatch. Large walleye from stronghatches in the mid-1990s will provide Fish Ohio oppor-tunities (greater than 28 inches).
Yellow PerchExpect good perch shing in 2013, with the largest sh
in the eastern areas of the Central Basin. Perch anglersshould encounter sh ranging from 7- to 13-inches fromthe 2011 through 2007 hatches in this years shery, withmajor contributions from the 2007 and 2008 year classes.Fish from the large 2003 year class are still present, par-ticularly in the central basin, and will provide some of this
years trophy perch opportunities.
Smallmouth BassSmallmouth bass shing in 2013 is expected to be fair.
Bass catch rates in 2012 were the highest observed since

GPAAC eventsAs this year marks an exciting time for Port Clinton
and Ottawa County, so to it is for the Greater Port Clin-ton Area Arts Council (GPAAC). With the summer sea-son just around the corner, people will soon be makingtheir way back to our area for the enjoyment broughtby Lake Erie, the islands, boating, shing, camping orotherwise simply the thought of getting away. With allthe upcoming events planned around the Battle of LakeErie bicentennial celebration, we may very well see thegreatest inux of tourism in our lifetime.
In its sixth year, the GPCAAC has already made greatstrides in promoting the arts in our area, and with goodreason. According to Robert Lynch, President and CEOof Americans for the Arts, an organization dedicatedto advancing the arts and art education, art carriessignicant weight when it comes to economic impact.Through a survey conducted last year involving thoseattending arts-based events in communities across thenation, it was observed that the average person spent$25 beyond admission cost. And where might have thatextra $25 been spent? The impact of being drawn to alocation by a particular event also resulted in increasedpatronage at area restaurants, retail stores and hotels.Remember that such spending has occurred in the faceof a down economy, which gives suggestion to the valuepeople still place on the arts.
Research within the tourism industry has continuallyshown that arts and cultural tourists tend to stay longerand spend more than the average traveler. Lynchs nd-ings also reected these results by revealing that nearlyone-third of event attendees came from outside thecounty in which an event was held. This would suggestthat if people were going to take the time to travel, theywere 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 thekind of activity that GPCAAC works to help generate.The purpose we serve is to encourage and support thearts in the communities of Ottawa County. We believethat a signicant portion of our areas welfare dependson the success of the arts. By fostering a cooperative ef-fort 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 anessential part of the human creative spirit.

Coming from a long family line of farm-ers, Kurt Bench always knew he wanted togrow vegetables for a living. But it wasntuntil the spring of 2008 that he was able toreturn to his roots in Ohio to make good
on that dream. Rather than duplicate whathis parents were doing with a vegetableroadside stand in Curtice, he decided totake his chances on a new form of agri-culture hitting the Midwest CommunitySupported Agriculture or CSA for short.People had been asking my parents if theywould start a CSA with their vegetables,but they didnt have time to get it going,said Kurt Bench. So my wife and I decidedto try developing one as a hobby, and therst year we had 12 customers, said KurtBench. That was ve seasons ago. This yearShared Legacy Farms CSA in Elmore plansto grow enough vegetables to feed 350families. And local interest is growing.
Common in New England and the WestCoast region, CSAs are essentially a ve-hicle for individuals or families to becomemembers of a local farm and share in itsweekly harvest. Members pay a set fee upfront when they sign up, and in return eachweek of the growing season receive a box offresh, organically-grown vegetables pickedby their farmer. Customers pick up theirshare or box in one of six locations aroundthe metro-Toledo area: Port Clinton (Sut-ton Center), Elmore, O-I Campus in Per-rysburg, the Perrysburg Farmers Market,Sylvania, and Toledo Farmers Market. Ahalf share costs $360, while a bigger, fam-ily share costs $680 for the whole 19 weekseason. Each weeks box contains roughly
7-10 different types of vegetables.Our customers never know what theyregoing to get in their box. Its always a funsurprise for them, said Bench. They lovelearning about new vegetables and enjoy-ing the old favorites.
Along with their vegetables, members re-ceive a weekly newsletter with recipes andmenu plans to equip them with ways touse up everything in their box that week.It also includes educational articles aboutfarming and even an entertaining journalentry by the farm dog entitled Siennas Di-ary.
That newsletter gets more commentsthan anything else, says Bench. Since alot of our customers are unaware of farm
life, they enjoy learning about farm topicslike the importance of bees or cover crops,or how organic farmers fertilize the crops.It becomes an education for the kids andthe whole family.
Members of the CSA are also invited tomultiple Farm Day events each season,which allow them a peek at farm life inElmore. They include the Harvest HayridePotluck, Pizzapalooza, Pesto Fest, Flash-light Pumpkin Hunt, Farm Olympics,multiple canning classes to learn how topreserve vegetables and Spring Work Days.We have a high participation in thoseFarm Days, and its one of the things wedo best. Families like to bring their kidsand get their hands dirty in the soil plant-ing potatoes or just walking the elds andsmelling the fresh, country air. You dontget that in the suburbs. Its eye-opening fora lot of them.
This year, Shared Legacy Farms is alsotaking another leap. As of April 1st, afterve years of building the CSA business as aside-job, Farmer Kurt decided to leave hisfull-time job with ADM Grain to becomea full-time farmer. It was time, said Kurt.I couldnt keep burning the candle atboth ends, trying to farm in the dark everynight. I had to commit to one or the other.Becoming a farmer has always been mydream. We found out how many custom-ers wed need to make it nancially pos-sible to become self-employed, and we justdecided to go for it.
The gamble is paying off. To date, SharedLegacy Farms is just 25 vegetable sharesaway from becoming nancially self-sus-taining. And Farmer Kurt is nally livingthe dream.
The Benches believe that what their cus-tomers want most -- aside from organic,delicious and fresh vegetables -- is the farmexperience and a relationship with theirfarmer. Weve found that most of ourcustomers want to be able to look us in theeye and feel good about where their foodcomes from. They want to be inspired toeat well again. They like being a part of re-dening agriculture. Our CSA is changingpeoples lives in a very tangible way. For afarmer, theres nothing better than that.
To learn more about Shared LegacyFarms or to join their 2013 CSA season,visit their website: www.sharedlegacy-farms.com.
If youd like more information aboutthis topic or to schedule an interview,
please contact Kurt or Corinna Benchat 419-862-3576 or sharedlegacyfarms@

Catawba Island VotingResidents-Ballot Box JusticeFive tax-paying, law abiding, adjoining property owners wrote letters
to the Township Trustees and attended meetings to stop the horrible
smell o rotting fsh in a local Motel in our neighborhood. For some rea-
son, Trustee Rokar said they have a right to clean fsh under an acces-
sory use clause he ound somewhere. Nowhere in the laws is it ound
that in order to run a motel, it is necessary nor dependent on cleaning
fsh. Arguing that a fsh cleaning operation is an accessory use to a Ho-
tel/Motel does Violence to the well-established legal defnition o acces-
sory use. The Trustees arguments are misguided, directly contradictory
to Ohio Law and are o no moment. This was language used in Court.
They ignored the fve o us and encouraged the one oending the
neighborhood to continue his practice; I took the owner to Court and
fled a Summary Court Injunction to stop this practice. Judge Winters
ound him guilty o 44 Findings o Fact and Conclusions o Law and had
him tear down his fsh cleaning station and to permanently stop clean-
ing fsh, Judge Moon awarded my wie and I $69,522.50 in damages.
I spend over $14,000 in getting this done. The Motel owner is under
oreclosure/receivership, has 37 liens against the property, amounting
to tens o thousands o dollars or services, construction and fnancial
institutions against the property. We probably will never see any o the
award. All this because our trustees choose to ignore their own Zoning
laws and nuisance laws in the revised Code o Ohio. They can do this
and be protected under the Sovereign Immunity clause that they oper-
ate under. Common sense be damned, they can make their own laws
and get away with it. You can be their next victim. The Governors
Ofce, State Attorney Generals Ofce, the Ethics Committee and the
Inspectors Generals Ofce cannot do anything about this. ONLY YOU
CAN. BY VOTING EACH AND EVERY ONE OUT OF OFFICE. Someone
that respects the rights o its citizens, ollows the laws o Ohio, and
wants something more than ree health insurance, ree lie insurance, a
part time job that nets them $$$$$ and a State retirement at the end
o their tenure, needs to govern our Island, not the reewheeling obsti-
nate group thats in there now. Reerence public record, Case Number
10CV605Two Trustees are up or reelection this November. Its time or
a change. Would two residents o Catawba PLEASE run or that ofce
this all. All you have to do is go to the Board o Elections on RT 163 and
get the application orm, get 25 valid registered voters signatures rom
Catawba by August 4th and return it to the Board o Elections. Your
name will be on the Voting Ballot. It would be nice to see some emale
names there or a change. Ethics and accountability is severly lacking
with this group. I they cant clean up their own house how ca we have
trust in their uture actions? ITS TIME FOR THEM TO BE VOTED OUT OF
OFFICE.

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR)is reminding those who own or manage property alongLake Erie that early spring is a good time to inspect coastalproperty for signs of erosion or damage to existing shoreprotection structures. Heavy wind and wave action inthe fall of 2012 combined with the effects of ice, as wellas freezing and thawing during the winter may damagecoastal property.
Routine monitoring and maintenance of shore struc-tures is necessary and will, over time, save coastal prop-erty owners money, said Ofce of Coastal ManagementChief Scudder Mackey. Smaller repairs performed morefrequently will be less costly than major repairs or replace-ment. Yearly inspections and repairs can often increasehow long a structure will be effective at controlling ero-sion.
The ODNR Ofce of Coastal Management providesfree technical assistance to coastal property owners orresidents who are experiencing erosion or have damagedstructures. Coastal staff will guide littoral owners throughthe permitting process for construction of new shorestructures and modications to existing shore structures.
Safety is of the utmost importance when inspectingshore structures and should be done from a safe location.This includes keeping a safe distance from bluff edges anddownslope areas where falling material may be a hazard.
It is important to document observations made duringeach inspection with photos and notes since this infor-mation can be helpful in comparing changes over time.Things that coastal property owners should look for in-clude:
Slumped areas of the bluff including areas above arevetment, seawall or unarmored shore;
Increased erosion of the bluff or bank along an unar-mored shore or at the ends of a structure;
Signicant changes to the beach, either at the site oralong adjacent or nearby properties;
Cracked concrete or armor stone; Armor stone that has moved down-slope (toward the
water) from its original location; Uneven settling of seawalls or retaining walls; Seawalls, bulkheads or retaining walls that appear to
be leaning; or Corrosion or ice damage to steel sheet piling or crib-
bing.
If erosion issues or structural damage is observed, prop-erty owners should remember:
Proper permits need to be obtained at the federal,state and local level prior to the construction of new
structures and prior to rehabilitation or improve-ment of existing structures.
Dumping material (rubble, yard waste, etc.) addsweight to the face of the bluff and can increase ero-sion. Leaves and grass clippings can become saturat-ed with water and greatly increase the weight on thebanks slope, directly causing slumping.
Concrete rubble is ineffective as shore protectionbecause individual pieces of concrete rubble are toolight to withstand wave forces and are easily dispersedinto the nearshore zone. Exposed rebar from brokenconcrete rubble is a signicant public health and safe-ty hazard along the shore.
Any structures (concrete decks, stone walls) andheavy objects (vehicles or construction equipment)placed near the bank edge will increase the stresswithin the soil and can lead to slope failure.
When possible, coastal property owners/residents shouldconsider working with neighboring property owners toaddress erosion issues. This will generally save money andproduce a more effective erosion control measure.
Residents, businesses and communities are encouragedto contact ODNR with concerns or questions regardingwhat they have observed. To speak with an ODNR Of-ce of Coastal Management engineer or to schedule a sitevisit, contact the ofce at 419-626-7980 or by [email protected].
In addition to in-person assistance, the ODNR Ofceof Coastal Management has various resources avail-able to assist coastal property owners, including:
Ohios Coastal Design Manual (LakeErie.ohiodnr.com/design) demonstrates how structures along theshore of Lake Erie should be designed and how coast-
al engineering principles are best applied; The Lake Erie Shore Erosion Management Plan (La-keErie.ohiodnr.com/erosion) provides recommenda-tions to help control erosion based on site conditions;and
Application and guidance materials for regulatory re-quirements (ohiodnr.com/tabid/9281/default.aspx).
ODNR ensures a balance between wise use and protec-tion of our natural resources for the benet of all. Visit theODNR website at ohiodnr.gov.
