The College of Wooster\, the Cleveland Clinic Foundation\, Wooster Community Hospital\, and Dunlap Hospital will join forces again this year to sponsor the third annual Wellness Lecture Series.

\\"All four speakers have a national reputation\,\\" said Dan Dean of The College of Wooster's Wellness Center. \\"We are very fortunate to have people of this caliber on campus to talk about health issues that affect such a wide range of people.

The third lecture will be delivered by Deborah Madison\, founding chef of San Francisco's Greens restaurant and the author of 10 cookbooks.

Boundaries can be viewed as obstacles or opportunities. It all depends on one's point of view. In some cases\, boundaries define territory\; in others they invite dialogue. The College of Wooster's 2010 Spring Academy of Religion will explore both options when it presents \\"Border Crossings\: Good Fences do not Make Good Neighbors.\\" The four-week lecture series is free and open to the public. Each of the sessions will be held in Lean Lecture Room of Wishart Hall (303 E. University St.)\, with the exception of the third lecture on Feb. 18\, which will be held in Gault Recital Hall of Scheide Music Center (525 E. University St.). All sessions begin at 7\:30 p.m.
\\"The world's religious traditions have long declared\, but too seldom practiced\, the need to breakdown barriers and borders\,\\" said Charles Kammer\, The James F. Lincoln Professor of Religious Studies at The College of Wooster and academic dean of the Spring Academy of Religion. \\"Certainly one could argue that the human\, perhaps the global\, future depends on our ability to render boundaries and borders into sites of creativity rather than danger. We are called to see the 'other' as a gift\, a resource that brings richness to our lives\, not as one who is a threat to our existence. Cultivating such attitudes\, however\, and creating the structures to allow for border crossings\, is hard\, sometimes dangerous work.\\"
The four speakers will explore a range of boundaries\, particularly those that exist between religions\, nationalities\, ethnicities\, gender\, and class. \\"Our speakers\, using their experience\, research\, and wisdom\, will help us to negotiate border crossings with the hope that we can become part of a movement that has the courage\, the knowledge\, and the commitment to aid in the destruction of walls and barriers so that a more just\, compassionate\, and inclusive future can be built\,\\" said Kammer.
The series begins Feb. 4 with the Reverend Dr. John Fife\, presenting \\"Crossing the Line\: Faith\, Ethics\, and Law on the Border.\\" Fife is Pastor Emeritus of Southside Presbyterian Church in Tucson. He also is co-founder of the Sanctuary Movement and was moderator of the 204th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA).
The second session\, which will be held Feb. 11\, features Dr. K. Christine Pae presenting \\"Western Princesses in the Borderlands\: Searching for Transnational Solidarity Countering Globalized Militarism.\\" Pae is an assistant professor of ethics/Christian Ethics in the Department of Religion at Denison University.
At the third session on Feb. 18\, Dr. Eboo Patel\, executive director of the Interfaith Youth Corps in Chicago\, will present \\"Acts of Faith\: Interfaith Leadership at the Crossroads of Inheritance and Discovery. Patel was recently named to President Obama's Advisory Council of the White House Office of Faith Based and Neighborhood Partnerships.
The final session will be held on Feb. 25 with Professor Kammer presenting \\"Something There is That Doesn't Love a Wall.\\"

The Ashland Center for Nonviolence announces its 2010 spring symposium \\"Creating a Caring Community in These Hard Times\\" with four different programs beginning Tuesday\, February 4 and ending Thursday\, February 11. All programs for the spring symposium are free and open to the public.

OFCF is a partnership of state and local government\, communities and families that enhances the well-being of Ohio's children and families by building community capacity\, coordinating systems and services and engaging and empowering families. Ohio Family and Children First has unified Governor Taft's \\"Commitment to Child Well-Being\\" with Governor Strickland's \\"Vision to Move Ohio Forward\\" and developed a partnership that would become a powerful message to the youth and families of Ohio including\:
•Provide every child a fair start
•Create schools that work for every child
•Broaden access and ensure success to higher education degrees
•Focus on Ohio's strengths
•Develop skills for high-quality jobs
•Stabilize health costs
•Retain\, create and attract jobs worthy of Ohio

Members of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) have been concerned about stewardship of the earth for hundreds of years.

The discussion series continues on the first Sunday of each month\, at 12\:15 p.m. Future discussions will focus on other practices and testimonies of Quakers\, including equality\, peace\, sacramental living\, the relationship to Jesus\, and the testimonies for simplicity and integrity.
The discussion is open to the public\, and people unfamiliar with Quakers are invited to attend and participate.

In\, Out\, Moving Ahead
Wednesday\, February 17\, 2010
Shisler Center\, OARDC\, Wooster
2009 was a pitiful and challenging year
for the dairy business. This economic
disaster has both short and long term
implications for our dairy businesses.
Good farms could easily have added at
least $1000 of debt per cow last year
simply for the privilege of milking
cows…not to increase efficiency or prof-
itability! Others\, who have had particular diffi-
culty\, face the dilemma of continuing
their dairy farms. Being able to accu-
rately evaluate the current situation
and alternatives knowing the implica-
tions of a partial or full dispersal on
their financial situation is critical.
You will go home with tools and the
ability to evaluate your farm’s historic
production costs and project future
costs. Resource materials include cost
of production worksheets\, the “15
Measures of Dairy Farm Competitive-
ness” bulletin and proceedings from all breakout sessions.
Morning Program
-Easily calculating and using your
cost of production
-Snapshot Milk Price Outlook
Afternoon Breakout Sessions
Track I\: Managing milk prices
at the farm level
-Class III Milk Futures and options
-Livestock Gross Margin Insurance
-Working with your lender when
contracting
Track II\: Legal Issues
-Using and understanding security
agreements
-Understanding default provisions
on notes
-Closing out the dairy business
-Legal considerations
-Tax implications
-People considerations
Objective\:
To provide dairy producers with tools to
evaluate their current business position
and make informed and effective deci-
sions to meet their farm’s and family’s
short and long term objectives.

— ORIGINAL DATE CANCELLED DUE TO SNOW STORM —
The Wayne Center for the Arts Has rescheduled open auditions for its Storytime Family Theatre production of Twain’s Tales for Saturday\, February 13\, from 10\:00AM-12\:00AM. The auditions were rescheduled due to the closing of the Wayne Center because of the snow storm on February 6th. No preparation is necessary\, but please plan on staying the entire time. Rehearsals will be on Saturdays from 10\:00-12\:30\, February 20-March 20\, with Dress Rehearsals on March 23 and 25. Performances are at 7\:00PM on Friday\, March 26\, and 2\:00 PM on Saturday March 27.
Twain’s Tales is a collection of five short stories by the master American storyteller-Samuel Clemens\, also known as Mark Twain. The stories are “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County\,” “Science v. Luck\,” “The Joke That Made Ed’s Fortune\,” “The Belated Russian Passport” and “Is He Living or Is He Dead?” – as well as the fence-painting chapter from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. The play takes place on the front porch of a general store in Hannibal\, Missouri in the late 1800s. The locals – the storekeeper and his wife\, a printer\, a reporter and a riverboat pilot – spend the morning entertaining each other by seeing who can spin the tallest tale. This play is full of wit\, humor\, great stories\, and interesting characters. I don’t know who will be more entertained – you as actors\, or the audience.
This play has a large\, flexible cast. Everyone ages 10 to adult who auditions will be assigned a role. Children under the age of 10 may be accepted based on audition and at the discretion of the directors. There is a production fee ( $50 for Wayne Center Members\, $70 for Non-members) to help with the costs of scripts\, costumes\, props\, and sets. Full and partial financial aid may be available for those who qualify.
For more information\, call 330-264-ARTS (2787). Wayne Center for the Arts is a non-profit arts organization established in 1973. Its mission is to strengthen the community by enriching people’s lives through the arts. The organization is located in the old Walnut Street School in downtown Wooster. The Arts Center is funded in part by private support from patrons\, foundations and businesses in addition to public funding by the Ohio Arts Council.

Clean Ohio AEPP Program
Applications for the 2010 Clean Ohio Agricultural Easement Purchase Program (AEPP) are open and available in the Wayne County Planning Department or online at www.agri.ohio.gov/farmland.
This year there will be $6.25 million to distribute to Ohio Farmers to protect their farmland. Farmland preservation efforts ensure that agriculture remains a viable industry in our state. Farmland is the foundation of Ohio's $98 billion food and agriculture industry and the Clean Ohio funds\, which were supported by voters in every Ohio county in 2008\, are one tool for protecting Ohio's agricultural future. The Clean Ohio AEPP utilizes the agricultural easement\, a voluntary and legally binding restriction placed on a farm\, to ensure the land stays in agriculutre. This easement limits the use of the land to predominantly agricultural activity. The land still remains under private ownership and management and stays on the tax rolls under Current Agricultural Use Valuation (CAUV) and the farm can be sold or passed along as a gift to others at any time\, yet the restriction prohibiting non-agricultural development stays with the land.
Farmer's and landowners interested in applying for this year's OAEPP should contact the Wayne County Planning Department at 330-287-5420.
Applications must reach the Ohio Department of Agriculture by April 26. The Wayne County deadline for submitted applications is April 19.

Spring Ozark Ramble
May 14-24\, 2010
Join TWC Executive Director\, Gordon Maupin\, as he returns to his old Ozark stomping grounds with a biogeocultural ramble through the Ozark highlands of Missouri and Arkansas.
David Tylka\, a vertebrate biology professor from St. Louis Community College\, will join the trip as the local naturalist. Gordon and Dave worked together to make the itinerary unforgettable.
The trips will begin with a flight to St. Louis and quick travel to Ha Ha Tonka State Park in the Missouri Ozarks. The group then heads south with a stop at La Petite Gemme Prairie\, a Missouri Natural Area and native (never plowed) prairie. Then it's down into the Boston Mountain section of the Ozarks.Using Harrison\, Arkansas as a base\, you will visit the Ozark Underground Laboratory for a combined surface and underground tour to learn how water has shaped the Ozark Mountains from above and below.
The following day we'll visit the Ozark Natural Science Center where various species of wildlife\, including Box Turtles\, have been radio tagged. There will be time to visit a special waterfall as well.

Ohio State University’s Fred Michel will talk about it at an upcoming sustainable energy workshop in Wooster.
“Solar\, Wind and Wood\: Sustainable Energy Options” takes place 7-9 p.m. on Tuesday\, Feb. 23\, at the Prentke Romich Company (PRC)\, 1022 Heyl Rd. (County Road 39). Admission is free and open to the public.
A composting and bioenergy researcher by day\, a solar energy proponent by night — fueled by sunlight captured during the day of course — Michel will discuss residential solar photovoltaics (PV)\, including from his own experience with his own home system.
“There are so many incentives\, not to mention environmental reasons\, to install solar PV\, that every homeowner should be seriously considering it\,” he said. “Together these incentives make installing a solar system a money-making proposition.”
He’ll explain the process of getting PV installed on your home and how a solar PV system can provide a greater return on investment over the next 10 years than investing the same amount of money in the bank.
Further\, he noted\, a new Ohio law on municipal financing “allows you to pay off the investment in your PV system through an increase in your property taxes and makes the upfront costs of installing PV essentially zero.”
A Wooster resident\, Michel holds a joint appointment with Ohio State’s Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center (OARDC) and with Ohio State University Extension.
Also on the panel\:
• Bernie Caldwell\, owner of Caldwell Energy Options and a high school industrial technology and physics teacher\, on wind power.
• Mike Powers\, lead design engineer with Meggitt Aircraft Braking Systems\, on solar thermal and passive solar.
• John Lehman\, assistant store manager and stove department manager with Lehman’s of Kidron\, on wood stoves.
The second in a series of homeowner clinics sponsored by the Wayne County Sustainable Energy Network\, the program will feature a question-and-answer format\, and participants are encouraged to bring their questions for discussion.
