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.\\"

Wayne County Planning Dept.
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.
