Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record
of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. --Corinthians 13:4-7

National Boy Scout Week Feb. 7-14

“On my honor, I will do my best, to do my duty, to God and my country, and to obey the Scout Law, to help
other people at all times, to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.”

The Boy Scouts of America is one of the nation’s largest and most prominent values-based youth
development organizations. The BSA provides a program for young people that builds character, trains
them in the responsibilities of participating citizenship, and develops personal ?tness.

For over a century, the BSA has helped build the future leaders of this country by combining
educational activities and lifelong values with fun. The Boy Scouts of America believes — and, through
over a century of experience, knows — that helping youth is a key to building a more conscientious,
responsible, and productive society.

We are proud of our Scouts and congratulate them on more than 100 years of service

WATERPROOFING
ODNR Tax donations available
J. A. KILBY ENT.
As Ohioans work to complete their taxes this year before
“Stop the water before it stops you!” the April 15 deadline, residents statewide are reminded of an
•Full Foundation Waterproofing •Wall Straightening, opportunity to help safeguard state nature preserves and wild-
Replacement and Repairs •Full Plumbing Services life with a tax donation.

•Yard Drainage Systems •Concrete Replacement “When Ohioans give a tax donation to wildlife or state
nature preserves, they are actively supporting conservation in
440-327-3433 our great state,” said Ohio Department of Natural Resources
(ODNR) Director James Zehringer. “These donations help
BASEMENT fund programs that protect endangered wildlife species, pro-
SOLUTIONS vide for the removal of non-native invasive species and help
fund facility improvements in Ohio’s state nature preserves.”
• Waterproofing
• Foundation Repair Several state nature preserves received facility improve-
ments thanks to tax donations. Additionally, these donations
• Yard Drainage helped pay for increased management efforts to control non-
• Excavating native invasive species, additional biological studies and
monitoring of state listed plant species.
• Sewer Replacement
Several different species of wildlife statewide bene?ted
440.773.3040 from Ohioans’ tax donations, including peregrine falcons,
trumpeter swans, Karner blue butter?ies, sandhill cranes and
bald eagles.

The ODNR Division of Wildlife does not receive taxpayer
dollars to conserve, restore or manage Ohio’s wildlife and
habitat. This means the tax donation program is an important
tool that helps the division protect and foster endangered and
threatened wildlife and other species of interest.

Donations made through the Wildlife Diversity Fund tax
donation help support critical ecological management activi-
ties in Ohio, including efforts to remove non-native and in-
vasive species that pose a serious and ever-growing threat to
sensitive habitats. Information programs such as ?eld guides
are provided free to the public from wildlife tax donation
funds.
