KTS Equipment, Inc. welcomes customers A bike riding journey of hope


John Logar, a 2016 gradu-
ate of Midview High School,
is about to graduate from
the University of Cincinnati
with his bachelor’s degree on
Aerospace Engineering. He
is also a member of Pi Kappa
Phi fraternity, who’s philan-
thropy is giving him the op-
portunity to spend his sum-
mer riding his bike across the
country in order to volunteer
with people with disabilities.
This philanthropy is called
the Ability Experience, and it
serves people with disabili-
ties across the country.
“In the fraternity, we fre-
quently do smaller events to
fund-raise, spread awareness
and volunteer. The Ability Ex-
perience itself organizes and
puts on a few different large
national events each year, one
of which I’ve already done,

From Strong to Sick







As an emergency responder, Chad Arcaba knew that being
exposed to COVID-19 was inevitable. What the Elyria firefighter
didn’t know is how hard it would hit him, especially since he’s only
37 and works out regularly.

At first, he had just a mild temperature and loss of taste. “But it got
worse,” says Chad, who lives on a South Amherst farm that he works
with his dad. “I had a massive headache that lasted for days. I was
wiped out.”

Now, two months later, Chad hasn’t fully recovered. As part of
his training, he has to pass a fitness test. Normally, that’s
no problem for the father of two. “But I went running
yesterday, and I thought I was going to die,” he says.

While he is confident he’ll eventually recover, it’s been
tougher than he imagined. And he has a message for
those who think they’re too young or too strong to
get sick: The risk is real. With a vaccine right around
the corner, now is not the time to take your foot off
the gas. Wear your mask and keep your distance.

SEEDLING SALE CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE
We are pleased to offer a new selection of native perennial
wildflowers at this year’s 2021 seedling sale. Native wildflow-
ers not only offer aesthetic beauty, but they add many ecolog-
ical benefits to our landscape. Native wildflowers require less Early Bird Sale
maintenance than traditional landscaping plants, decreasing the
amount of water and fertilizer required for optimal growth, fil-
ter pollutants from stormwater, improve soil health and attract
pollinators and other wildlife. The new species offered this year
are Mistflower, Lanceleaf Coreopsis, Great Blue Lobelia, Star-
ry Campion, Crooked Stem Aster, Gray-Headed Coneflower,
Yellow Trout Lilly, Whorled Milkweed and Hope Sedge. Os-
trich Fern will be offered in quart size containers.
Many of these plants would make excellent additions to new
or established rain gardens! Visit our website for detailed de-
scriptions of bloom periods, size and preferred habitat of our
native perennial wildflowers. Order forms will be available on
our website, www.lorainswcd.com.
