Ensuring safety, planting gardens

AGAINST CRIME
Citizens from the Highland Heights area met at Toledo Heights library May 14 to sign up for various anti-crime task forces. The overriding sentiment at the meeting was that law-abiding citizens (the vast majority) will stand up to thugs, thieves and others who would lower the quality of life. For more on how to get involved, contact Crimebuster Coordinators Marsha Heidt at 419-389-1995 or Jimmy Lewis, 419-410-7526.

GARDEN BLITZ
On May 13, Jason Gorr, Linda and Carol Scheiber and Ellen Rodriguez expanded and planted the garden at South and Airport Hwy. They also planted the garden at Woodsdale and South. The experience gave all new respect for the Irishmen who dug the Erie Canal, as breaking sod is not for the faint of heart. A few days later Jason, Ellen , Cooper Suter and others dug more sod and planted a rain garden in Highland Park. Water and weed volunteers are still being sought. If you can help, email highland43609@gmail.com.
A hearty thank you to the following plant donors: Ohlman Greenhouse, Ohlman Greenhouse, Toledo Botanical Gardens, Sun Moon,Naturally Native Nursery, and Garden Nursery.
