Mayor Collins asks for help from feds on water quality
Walking group promotes exercise, safety, community
Walking groups have been meeting regularly for the past few
weeks in Point Place. Participants meet on Monday, at 6:30
p.m., at Lighthouse Landing, 4441 North Summit Street, and
Thursday, at 8:30 p.m., at various places in the community.
Walkers are enjoying the benefit of exercise while experiencing the scenic lakeside community and trails in the Point
Place/Shoreland area. The walkers also establish a presence in
the community, which helps cut down on crime.
Pictured are some of the walkers enjoying commaradarie
while viewing the area scenery.
Sponsors are being sought for the Walk Point Place campaign currently under way. The program is designed to bring
more people to the community. For more information, call Debbie or Kellie at 419-214-0331. To learn more about the walking
group, call the number above or visit the Facebook page at

Cullen Park to be closed for upgrades Water
forums set
Signs will be posted soon to inform the
public of the closure of Cullen Park, which
is scheduled to begin sometime after Labor
Day.
The closure is necessary to begin work
to replace the docks, ramps, lighting, navi-
gational aids and the parking lot.
This project is being funded by a grant
from the Ohio Department of Natural
Resources and is to be completed during
2014. Cullen Park is located at 4526 North
Summit Street.
A Point Place and Shoreland Community forum on
water quality is planned. All
area residents are invited to
attend. Speaker Len Syrek
will discuss:
•The good, the bad and the
ugly truth
•How long has this been
going on
•What we can do as a community
The first meeting was held
Friday, August 15. Additional
meetings are set for Tuesday,
August 19, from 11 a.m. to
noon, and Thursday, August
21, from 7 to 8 p.m.
The programs will be held
at the Lighthouse Landing
Banquet Hall, 4441 North
Summit Street. Those attending are asked to park behind
the building and enter through
the café doors.
Toledo
Mayor
D.
Michael Collins is asking
federal officials for
help–and
funding–to
address concerns with the
quality of local drinking
water.
“We are calling upon
President Barack Obama,
the U.S. Senate and the
U.S. House of Representatives to take swift action to
preserve our health and
quality of life,” he said.
The mayor sent his letter
of request August 11 to all
the U.S. Congress members
from Ohio and three from
Michigan.
“While the water is now
safe to consume, danger
remains lurking off of our
shoreline in the form of
harmful algal blooms,” he
wrote. “Eleven million people rely on Lake Erie for
their water supply.”
Chemical testing on
August 2 at Toledo’s
Collins Park water treatment plant revealed two
sample readings for microcystin in excess of the recommended 1 microgram
per liter standard.
Microcystin is a toxin
produced by cyanobacteria,
also known as “blue green
algae.”
The algae changes the
lake water to a bright green
color and occurs when
excess nitrogen and phosphorus are present in lakes
and streams. These nutrients come from runoff of
fertilized fields and lawns
and malfunctioning septic
systems.
Despite meeting phosphorus reduction targets
that are a part of the Great
Lakes Water Quality Agreement, the algae blooms are
increasing and not decreasing, Mayor Collins noted.
Studies suggest additional reductions are needed in
phosphorous coming to the
western and central basins
of Lake Erie, the mayor
said.
“Toledo is not the primary contributor in the creation of harmful algal
blooms (HABs) and is
purely a victim of geographical location,” he stated.
Lately, the greatest concentration of algae has been
over the city’s water intake
unit.
Mayor Collins noted that
the Great Lakes provide 84
percent of North America’s
surface fresh water and 21
percent of the world’s supply.
Lake Erie adjoins 17
metropolitan areas with
populations of more than
50,000 apiece, he added.
“Toledo and many other
cities impacted by this
threat need additional
resources, not only to make
improvements to water
treatment facilities but to
minimize the economic
impact insecurity that water
quality concerns can create,” he said.
Mayor Collins called for
additional research to find
ways to reduce or eliminate
the harmful algal blooms
and to develop more cost
effective and reliable methods of testing.
“Our federal government
cannot continue to pass
along the costs of dealings
with HABs to cities that
have no ability to control
the behavior of those outside of our authority who
are contributing to poor
water quality,” he stated.
Mayor Collins believes
Toledo, and other affected
cities, should have “a seat
at the table” but need leadership by the federal government.
“We must put partisanship aside and focus on
what is good for the overall
health of our Great Lakes,”
he concluded.
Water Treatment
Standards
The EPA annually
requires water treatment
plants to mail a Consumer
Confidence Report (CCR)
to every customer, and have
copies available in the local
library, explaining how the
water ranks in regard to 15
to 20 compounds.
The EPA sets minimum
testing requirements, and
the CCR will indicate how
well the treatment plant
performed.
However, microcystins
are not in the CCR, and
there are no specific treatment criteria or reputable
levels for microcystins in
drinking water.
This is why area residents heard measurements
such as 0.5, 1.0 or parts per
billion being discussed during the water alert.
Some types of microcystin are highly toxic, and
even drinking a small
amount can be harmful to
the liver, and an irritant to
the skin, eyes and throat.
The U.S. EPA and Ohio
EPA do not regulate microcystins in drinking water,
but the World Health Organization (WHO) has established a provisional guideline of 1.0 microgram per
liter or 1 part per billion.
To combat the microcystin, Toledo water treatment officials are treating
the affected water with
higher doses of chlorine
and activated carbon.
City of Toledo Report
A preliminary report
released August 4 by the
Toledo Department of Public Utilities includes numerous pages of testing results
and raw data.
“From the onset of the
unusual readings, Collins
Park chemists found inconsistencies in the data,”
states the report, signed by
Edward Moore, director of
the public utilities department.
Attempting to verify the
results, the city sought
independent analyses by the

$1 Campaign under way
Ride, roast raises funds for memorial
Journal readers are everywhere
From there to here, from here to there, Point and Shoreland Journal readers are
everywhere.
George and Vivienne Sommerfield, of Shoreland, recently traveled to northern
Michigan to enjoy the Michigan outdoors. They took their bicycles and rode many
miles on trails through Harbor Springs, Petoskey and Alanson. Then they went west,
where they sampled wines made in the vineyards they saw. At Sleeping Bear Sand
Dunes, they hiked for nearly a mile–uphill–to watch the sun set over Lake Michigan
from Pyramid Point.
“The sand dune in this photo goes straight down to the water,” said Mrs. Sommerfield.
The Point and Shoreland Journal invites all readers to submit photos of themselves with family and friends reading the paper wherever they travel– whether
that is Spain or Spokane.
Photos may be submitted by email to [email protected], dropped off at
the Friendship Center, 2930 131st Street, or sent by mail to Point and Shoreland
Journal, 117 East Second Street, Perrysburg, Ohio 43551.
Please note the names of the people in the photo and their hometowns, businesses or schools, as well as any other details about the trip and a daytime telephone number.
For more information, contact the Journal at 419-874-4491.
A motorcycle ride and pig
roast was held Saturday,
August 9, to benefit a Memorial stone project for the 134
men and women from Lucas
County who lost their lives in
Vietnam.
The bike route was to the
memorial in Monroe,
Michigan, and Ottawa Hills
Cemetery, where a family of
a Vietnam veteran was waiting, and then past the
memorial site and back for
the pig roast.
Many supporters attended the event to make a
donation and just enjoy the
food.
There also were raffles
and entertainment by a DJ
and a band with Megan
Lesle and Meaghan Roberts.
Nearly $1,500 has been
raised for the memorial,
which is scheduled to be
dedicated on September 11.
The stone will be located
near the Point Place Lighthouse. It is sponsored by
Remembrance Inc., organized by Nick Haupricht.
The goal is to raise
$7,000 to have the dedication on time.
A “$1 Campaign” is currently under way. To make a
donation, visit Lighthouse
Landing Mall located at
4441 North Summit Street
Toledo, Ohio 43611 or mail
a check to the address made
payable to Remembrance
Inc.
ment plant, Lake Superior
State University, the Ohio
EPA in Columbus and U.S.
EPA in Cincinnati.
On Saturday, August 2,
between midnight and 1:10
a.m., samples taken
throughout Toledo showed
the following levels of
microcystin:
•Woodmore, 0.73 micrograms per liter;
•6000 block of Summit
Street, 0.65;
•6200 block of Edgewater, 0.61;
•Western and Detroit,
0.59.
On Sunday, August 3, at
2 p.m., the data showed raw
water at the plant with a
level of 5.089 micrograms
per liter.
After treatment, water
samples taken from around
the city on Sunday afternoon and evening showed
the following levels:
•Arlington at UTMC,
0.561 micrograms per liter;
•Holland-Sylvania and
Bancroft, 0.612;
•Summit and Merchants
Landing, 0.803.
By August 4, at 3:10
a.m., the tap samples had
returned to a range of 0.180
to 0.283. Raw water still
was above 5.55.
The analysis from Lake
Superior State University
reported that samples taken
August 2 showed microcystin levels all were less
than 0.2.
The treated water fell
below the WHO’s 1.0
microgram per liter recommendation.
Additionally, Mayor
Collins has not ruled out
the possibility that some of
the test results could have
been “false positives.”
An agreement, signed
August 3 by the mayor and
Ohio EPA Director Craig
Butler, states that the following protocol has been
established to deal with the
situation:
•Raise plant chlorine
levels to 2.7 parts per million– up from 2.2 parts per
million.
•Raise carbon feed rate
from 6.3 parts per million
to 15 parts per million.
•Maintain microcystin
levels below 1.0 micro-
grams per liter.
•Toledo will continue to
provide copies of all testing
to Ohio EPA and notify the
agency to discuss appropriate actions anytime microcystin levels in tap samples
exceed 0.6 micrograms per
liter.
•Following any water
advisory situation, regular
daily sampling and analysis
will be initiated until there
are three consecutive days
of raw water samples less
than 5.0 micrograms per
liter and non-detect readings below 1.0 micrograms
per liter at the tap.
•Following these three
days [after the August 2
alert], daily sampling will
continue with analysis performed twice each week for
one month.
“The microcystin crisis
was a learning experience
for all of the agencies
involved,” Mr. Moore wrote
in the report. “The positive
result was the design of an
established protocol for
procuring consistent sampling that will be used as a
model statewide.”
Circus clown Melvino shares
a smile with area children
The Kelly Miller Circus performed
at Friendship Park on August 7. Circus clown Melvino arrived in town
two weeks early and gave 30-minute
performances at Happiness Is Day
Care and the Shoreland Shelter
House. Melvino also performed and
ate lunch with children at an event
hosted by Kathy’s Confections at
Lighthouse Landings.
Winners were named in the two
contests held in advance of the circus. Cameron Sobczak, 2, pictured
at right with his mother and Melvino,
won a ticket to the circus for Best
Dressed Clown. In the coloring contest, Olivia Matuszewski, 10, won
first place; John Hart, 8, second
place, and Kristiana Baughman, 5,
third place.

plain, possibly Irish
•Mrs. Dorgan, Danny’s
mom and wife of maintenance man in the building, 45
to 50, faded and frustrated

Ejhinger Comfort Services celebrating 30th anniversary
Ejhinger Comfort Services
Inc., located at 5321 North
Summit Street, is celebrating
30 years in business this
month.
Bob and Su Ellen Ejhinger
are the owners of the full service heating, ventilation and air
conditioning business. They
are proud of their long association with the Point Place area
and attribute their company’s
longevity to customer service
and personal attention.
“I learned early on that the
customer is the most important
part of my business,” said Mr.
Ejhinger. His business philosophy is to “treat the customer
the way you would like to be
treated.”
“We are a very service-oriented business,” agreed Mrs.
Ejhinger. “Customer service is
number one in our book.”
A resident of the Point
Place community since 1956,
Mr. Ejhinger has been in the
trade since 1968, and started
his own business in 1984 in a
building on Summit Street. He
has been a member of the
Toledo Heating and Air Conditioning Contractors Association for 30 years.
Mrs. Ejhinger takes care of
the office management duties.
The family business also includes daughter-in-law Jaclyn,
who has worked in the office
for 10 years as an administrative assistant, setting up appointments, scheduling service
calls and handling all of the

Residents urged to participate in emergency alert system
Lucas County residents
are urged to sign up for the
Lucas County Alerts program to be notified by text
message or email in case of
an emergency.
Residents can visit the
website www.lucascounty
alerts.com to sign up for the
free service.
The system is operated
by the Lucas County Emergency Management Agency
(EMA).
Does this cost anything?
Lucas County Alerts is a
free service provided by
Lucas County. However,
normal message fees may
apply. Contact your phone
service provider for more
information about what fees
may apply.
Why can’t I sign up for
voice calls?
Text messages and
emails are the fastest and
most efficient methods of
sending emergency alerts to
a large number of people.
Voice calls–even automated ones–take a long
time to send. In emergency
situations, it is essential to
get the message out as
quickly as possible.
Because
of
Lucas
County’s large population,
it may take hours to send a
voice call to every resident
at times when residents
need to know in a matter of
minutes.
Why do you need my address?
If an emergency only affects a neighborhood or region within the county,
Lucas County Alerts has the
ability to send an alert just
to the residents who live
within the affected area.
By giving your address,
you will be able to receive
alerts about nearby emergency situations which may
not affect the entire county.
What is the difference
between Lucas County
Alerts and City of Toledo
alerts or other alerts by
local townships and cities?
Lucas County Alerts
sends subscribers text messages and emails alerting
them of emergencies such
as tornado warnings, Amber
Alerts, snow emergencies
and more.
Lucas County also has
partnered with communities
in the county to allow their
residents to sign up for important community-specific
notifications in addition to
emergency alerts.
Those communities are
able to send their own notifications with information
relevant to their residents,
such as trash pickup delays,
road closures and more.
Contact your local government offices to find out
more about what kinds of
notifications are available
through your community.
My village or township is
in Lucas County but isn’t
listed on the sign up page.
Can I still sign up?
Yes, anyone can sign up
for Lucas County Alerts.

Battle of Fallen Timbers 220th
anniversary commemoration Aug. 23
Metroparks and partners
will commemorate the
220th anniversary of the
Battle of Fallen Timbers
Saturday, August 23, with a
wreath-laying ceremony,
guest speakers and tours of
the battlefield in Maumee.
The free, public event
will honor those on both
sides of the battle who
clashed in 1794 in the
woods amid trees toppled
by a storm. About 30-50
men died on each side of
the battle line: On one side
was General Anthony
Wayne’s Legion of the
United States, with help
from the Kentucky Militia;
on the other side were Native Americans who had
joined a confederacy supported by the British to
fend off Wayne’s army.
The Legion’s decisive
victory in the brief battle
led to the Treaty of
Greenville, and ultimately
to Ohio becoming a state.

River Road in Maumee, is
also a Metroparks property

the War of 1812.
A visitor center has been
designed for the battlefield,
