Headwaters of Riley Creek could serve as beaver reintroduction effort

Posted by Fred Steiner on March 31, 2014 - 11:40pm

Fans of the beaver – never say die.

Save the Mammals, a national proactive wildlife organization dedicated to animal heritage projects, this week announced its intention to reintroduce beavers in Ohio.

The feeder streams of the Riley are among four areas in Ohio under consideration for reintroduction of the once-common Black Swamp mammal.

The other three areas are Ripley, near the Ohio River in southwestern Ohio; Barnesville in southeastern Ohio; and a yet-to-be named area in northeastern Ohio.

Where are you right now?
Rochester Hills, MI

Tell me about your job.
I am a sales account manager for Falken Tire.  I sell passenger, light truck and commercial (semi) tires to wholesalers and retail stores in Eastern Canada (Ontario to the Eastern Seaboard) and in the US (OH, KY, WV, PA & western NY).  My job is mobile so when I am not traveling to meet with clients, I can typically be found working from my home office or occasionally from Common Grounds!

850 items of food collected by Bluffton Boy Scouts

Posted by Fred Steiner on March 31, 2014 - 10:32am

To the community of Bluffton,

On behalf of Troop 256, I would like to thank all the people who donated to the Bluffton Food Pantry during our Scouting for Food event. On March 23rd, scouts put out bags on people’s doors around Bluffton. On March 30th, Scouts collected the bags filled with food. We collected around 120 bags that contained 850 items. If your bag was missed or you did not get a bag, you can call Mike Metzger at 419-235-5654 to still donate. Again, thank you for all the support in this year’s food drive.

Sincerely,

Kaden Reneker
