Technology can be a
blessing and a curse to individuals and businesses alike
as con artists continue to
devise scams, cheating people out of money and in
some cases, their very identity.
Ray Foeller, senior outreach and education program specialist for the Ohio
Consumers’ Counsel (OCC),
knows all too well the scams
that occur–and some that
simply won’t go away.
Mr. Foeller, who has
been with the OCC since
1997, spoke at the Sylvania
Chamber of Commerce
November 4 luncheon.
“Part of my job is to raise
awareness of the state
agency,” he explained. “We
are the legal representative
to residential customers.”
Established in 1976,
OCC represents Ohio’s residential consumers in matters
related to their utility services.
It advocates for residential consumers in administrative proceedings before
the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO), state
and federal courts, federal
regulatory agencies, and the
Ohio General Assembly, he
explained.
He noted that the agency
monitors utility companies’
compliance with regulatory
standards and educates consumers about utility issues
and the services provided by
their investor-owned electric, natural gas, telephone
and water companies.
Since its inception, the
OCC has saved utility customers billions in avoided
utility rates, helped create
payment assistance programs for low-income customers and worked to safeguard consumer protections.
Although the OCC primarily serves consumers on
utility rate and regulatory
issues, it also works to protect consumers from con
artists, said Mr. Foeller.
In years past, those
scams were limited to the
telephone, but the Internet
and computer have led to
broader opportunities for
con artists.
“How do you protect
yourself and personal wealth
from these scams?” he
asked.
The number one complaint the agency receives
pertains to identity theft, he
said. “Lots of attempts are
made.”
One way to steal a person’s identity is through utility bills. Thieves will access
utility information with a
person’s name on it and can
do so by going through the
trash, he explained.
They then set up an
account with the individual’s name. He recalled one
person who found out his
identity had been stolen
after receiving a utility bill
$20.00 per year
Please Recycle This Newspaper
for an address where he did
not reside.
“The thieves also use that
person’s name as a way to
obtain credit,” he added.
Mr. Foeller cautioned
chamber members against
another scam, in which the
person receives a phone call
allegedly from a utility company threatening to turn off
the power or disconnect the
cell phone unless a payment
is made over the phone.
“This is a very successful
scam and very prevalent
right now in this part of the
country,” he said.
Yet another popular form
of fraud is the “one-ring”
scam in which the caller
only lets the phone ring
once and then hangs up.
Thinking that the call
may be important, the consumer calls back, and is then
automatically charged for
the call.
“If you don’t recognize
the call, don’t call back,” he
advised, urging members to
check the phone number
online first.
“They are counting on
your curiosity to take the
bait and call back,” he
added.
He asked for a show of
hands from members who
experienced the “grandparent scam,” and many raised
their hand.
In this scheme, a grandparent receives a call from
someone claiming to be a
grandchild asking for money
to be wired to them.
Other deceptions are not
always obvious, he said,
referring to a gas pipeline
case in which consumers are
urged to obtain insurance for
the natural gas pipeline.
Mr. Foeller pointed out
that the utility company is
responsible for the line from
the meter to the curb, and
homeowners insurance poli-
cies likely cover from the
meter to the house.
“Make you sure you
know what is and isn’t covered [in your policy],” he
added.
An issue facing consumers currently is the
choice of energy supplier.
Most people are already
receiving a good rate

As the Springfield Board
of Education prepares to
move forward with cuts in
personnel and services, talk of
the levy failure continues to
haunt school leaders.
At the November 18 meeting, area residents spoke
about the district’s inability to
pass a 7.9-mill operating levy.
Stan Dorris noted that the
levy amount–six times higher
than the permanent improve-
ment renewal levy–was too
much to request.
He would like to see how
the district spends its money
and believes the board could
make reductions elsewhere to
avoid curtailing transportation.
He expressed concern
about the safety of students
walking in the winter and in
areas of high volume traffic.
“I disagree with charging
for extra-curricular activities,”
he said, and worries that
lower income student-athletes
won’t be able to continue to
participate.
He recalled his schooling
in the late 1960s when the
district had one superintendent and 40 students per
class. Student scores were
higher then than they are
today, he added.
He suggested downsizing
the number of teachers per

Penta to upgrade campus
ODOT readies for winter following record-breaking season Residents continue to address board
with energy efficient lighting
when we were at our old regarding district finances, cuts in service
By Sean Maiolo
An $800,000 energy retrofit project is being planned
for Penta Career Center.
At the November 5 meeting, the board of education
discussed the project, which
calls for changing all interior
and exterior lighting to energy efficient LED bulbs.
Rich Birt, supervisor of
operations, said carbon dioxide sensors also will be
installed. The sensors detect
when there is an occupant in
the room, activating lighting
and temperature controls to
the comfort level.
Superintendent Ron Matter said the district has been
looking at the electrical
upgrade for more than a year
but wanted to make sure the
project would be feasible.
“The technology is there,
and the prices have come
down,” he added.
The scope of the work
entails:
•Career center–retrofit
exterior and interior lighting
to LED, replace 17 lighting
control panels, install 238
occupancy sensors, retrofit
greenhouse lighting, add
greenhouse lights to the
building automated system
and add electric meter for
energy monitoring;
•Operations building–
retrofit exterior and interior
lighting to LED; replace one
lighting control panel; add
electric meter for energy
monitoring and update the
building automated system;
•Maumee career-based
intervention facility–retrofit
interior and exterior lighting,
add a building automated system.
Penta officials expect to
receive a First Energy rebate
for the operations building of
$2,900 and are projecting an
annual energy and maintenance savings of $118,992.
The district should begin
to see a payback from the
project in 6.7 years, said Mr.
Matter.
Retrofitting will begin in
January in the operations
building, and work on the
career center is expected to
take place next summer with
a completion date of August
1, 2015.

Journal readers are everywhere
Northwest Ohio residents
hope this winter season will
be far kinder and more tolerable than the record snowfall and cold temperatures
that gripped the region last
year. But should there be a
repeat of last year–and early
signs
are
not
promising–ODOT officials
are ready and able.
“It’s a mental exercise.
Obviously
you
lose
endurance over the year. But
at least we’re mentally prepared that if it’s going to be
as bad as last year, we know
we’re going to get through
it,” said Todd Audet, deputy
director. “Nobody likes it,
but everybody’s signed on
for it.”
Plow drivers frequently
worked 12-hour shifts last
winter to keep up with the
snow and unrelenting blowing and drifting that seemed
to follow every storm.
Mr. Audet noted many
plow drivers logged twice as
many hours last year as tthe
year prior, which happened
to be one of the mildest winters in recent memory.
Conditions last winter
were so raw that at one point
a driver returned to the
Technology Drive garage in
Maumee when the salt in his
truck froze to a solid block.
Workers chipped apart the
frozen salt before sending it
and the truck back out on
the next shift.
“We went to dump it out
and it’s just like this big,
frozen block of salt,” Mr.
Audet recalled. “I’ve never
seen anything like that. It
was that cold.”
That intense cold often
proved more troublesome in
clearing the roads than the
record snowfall.
“Salt doesn’t work in the
extreme cold, so we’d have
to chemically treat the salt
with calcium chloride,”
explained public information officer Theresa Pollick.
“It just takes longer for the
salt to activate. Temperatures like that held for days
to where we couldn’t even
treat because it wouldn’t be
worth it financially. So we
just had to plow and plow.”
One thing that proved
especially beneficial in battling the brutal elements was
the
new
Maumee
facility–one ODOT moved
into only months before
winter ’s onslaught. The
expansive garages, truck
wash and advanced, efficient
brine production system
paid big dividends, allowing
for better maintenance and
deployment of plow trucks.
“Having a facility like
this, we can keep [trucks] in
here and drivers can do their
own limited technical
inspections. And if there’s
anything wrong, we can
work on them [on site],”
said Mr. Audet. “This is a
very effective facility for
maintaining the fleet.”
The larger garage with
more than twice the salt
capacity of the old one was
equally essential. The new
location helped as well by
providing plow drivers with
quick, easy access to main
arteries such as I-475 and
U.S. Route 24.
“It was amazing,” Ms.
Pollick said. “First of all, it
was just an accomplishment
to get it out here because
facility on Detroit Avenue,
to get anywhere would take
us 20 minutes. To have that
time for our trucks to get
salt, to get everything, was
nice.”
One precautionary measure ODOT took was to purchase roughly 6,700 tons
currently in the salt stores on
a much cheaper summer
contract. Ms. Pollick said
officials anticipated a jump
in prices following last winter.
“If you noticed our salt
shed out there, it is stacked
because we bought the bulk
of our salt on the summer
contract because we could
get it for $54 a ton,” she
said. “When that runs out,
we’ll have to buy it on the
winter contract. The winter
contract is $105 a ton.”
Despite the spike on the
commodities market for salt,
Mr. Audet said there was
never a consideration to
adopt a practice that some
snowier parts of the country
use.
“We talked to areas that
do 80 to 120 inches of snow
normally and in some areas
they don’t even put salt on
the roads,” he said. “They
just plow the roads and wonder why we do what we do.
Well, we [salt] because
there’s an expectation in this
part of the country that we
use salt and keep the roads
snow and ice free.”
What will be different is

McCord also will close to
begin construction of the
roundabout, said Mr. Zienta.
During the closure, a
temporary pedestrian walkway will be constructed for
students to cross from the
Walmart parking lot to the
high school on the west side
of McCord.
Public service director
Mike Hampton expressed
concern that students won’t
use the elevated walkway
and may try to cut directly
across the street.
Mr. Zienta responded that
a barricade should deter students from any short cut. He
noted that the barrier is eight
feet tall.
By next fall, the roundabout is expected to be complete. “The roundabout will
open at the end of August,”
he said, in time for the new
school year.
Work also will be complete on the temporary twolane road, which will connect McCord Road and the
south and north sides.
By September 2016, resi-
dents should see the opening
of the new McCord Road,
and the temporary road will
be removed.
The bridge engineer
admitted that other construction projects will further hinder travel in the area. That
includes a 90-day closure of
Angola Road at I-475 scheduled for next fall as ODOT
continues the interstate
bridge widening project.
The trustees urged residents to be patient during
construction, noting that it
will be well worth the inconvenience in the long run.
They also pointed out
that traffic patterns will
change at Spring Meadows
since the shopping center
entrance will be used more
frequently to access Walmart, Huntington Bank and
other businesses on McCord
Road.

With major construction
set to begin next spring on
the McCord Road railroad
underpass project, the
Springfield
Township
trustees received an update
on construction plans.
At the November 17
meeting, Bryan Zienta,
bridge engineer for the
Lucas County engineer ’s
office, said that although the
project is in the early stages
this year, it is progressing on
schedule.
There has been no great
disruption to traffic yet, he
explained, but there will be
temporary road closures as
the crews build the temporary track foundation.
Also, beginning in
December a two to three
week closure of a southbound lane on McCord can
be expected as crews perform sewer work.
In March 2015, major
changes in the flow of traffic
will occur as McCord closes
at North Mall Drive.

Habitat, OC present new home to family
Just two months after
construction began, officials
from the Maumee Valley
Habitat for Humanity
turned over the keys to the
house to new homeowner
Anastasie Ngendakumana.
On November 18, volunteers from Owens Corning
and Habitat for Humanity
held a dedication ceremony
at the newly completed
home on Rhode Island Road
in Springfield Township.
Mike McIntyre, Habitat
for Humanity executive
director, said the project is
the 11th build sponsored by
Owens Corning in northwest Ohio. “What a great
community partner Owens
Corning is,” he added.
He also expressed appreciation to the Springfield
Township trustees and the
Lucas County Land Bank
for procuring the three lots
on Rhode Island, which are
being split in half for construction of second home
next year.
“This project is unique
in how it evolved through
the land bank and township,” he said.
The executive director
noted that the organization’s
mission is to “create a
world where everybody has
a decent place to live.”
Dave Uncapher, volunteer build coordinator with
Owens Corning, said he
was honored to direct the
build. “Thank you for the
opportunity. It’s been a
tremendous experience.”
Following his presentation, Lisa Ovenden, Habitat
development director, presented Ms. Ngendakumana
with a Bible, and Ann
Malak, community relations
lead at Owens Corning,
handed the homeowner the
keys to the house.
“I’m so happy,” said Ms.
Ngendakumana. “Thank
you so much for everything.”
The ceremony concluded
with a home dedication
prayer by Elder Hutzler of
the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-Day Saints. and
the presentation of housewarming gifts donated by
Proctor & Gamble and the
Sylvania United Church of
Christ.
Leslie Kohli, township
administrator, greeted Ms.
Ngendakumana and her two
children. “On behalf of
Springfield Township, welcome to our community,”
she said.

student. “I think we need to
step outside the box,” Mr.
Dorris said, recommending
the district look at different
options that would require a
lower millage. “Then I may
be more supportive.”
Barb Irons countered that
the district can not afford to
lose any more teachers, noting that the state has a
required teacher/student ratio.
“I’d cut every bus before
I’d cut one more teacher,”
she said.
Mrs. Irons, who has
helped work on the recent
two levy campaigns, suggested the board return to voters
with a reduced millage of
about 4.9 mills limited to five
years instead of continuing.
“I don’t think it’s smart,
but it is doable,” she added.
Responding to Mr. Dorris,
board member Ev Harris
pointed out that education is
not like it was in the 195060s.
“It’s a whole different ball
game today,” he said, adding
that the state has numerous
mandates the district must
follow, and those rules
weren’t in place 50 years ago.
He also disagreed with a
reduction in teachers. “The
bottom line is teachers are
needed in the classroom.”
Board member Ken
Musch noted that the district
eliminated $3 million from
its budget a few years ago
and an additional $1.1 million in staff cuts this spring.
“We are staff-wise at bare
bones,” he explained.
Mr. Musch said the state’s
lack of action on a plan to
resolve school funding is
hurting districts statewide.
“It’s a situation none of us
like.”
He believes that until people get angry enough with
legislators in Columbus,
nothing will change, and “we
will have no choice but to go
to voters.”
Following the discussion,
Superintendent Dr. Mike
O’Shea provided the board
with an update on reductions
that have been made.
He said eight drivers and
one transportation aide
received notice of the district’s intent to terminate their
employment.
In addition, a permanent
secretary position was eliminated.
Looking ahead to the
2015-16 school year, he
asked the board to consider
cuts in electives at the high
school and cuts or a reduction
in physical education, music,
art and technology classes at
the elementary level.

Speaker discusses consumer scams

In this deception, representatives go door to door
claiming to be able to lower
the consumer’s utility bill.
“Our concern is that the
individual representatives of
these companies aren’t
always helping to save
money.”
He advises consumers not
to let these people see a utility bill. He noted that some of
these representatives are
expert at obtaining the
account number off the bill
and then calling the utility
company to switch the
unsuspecting consumer in
what is referred to as “slamming.”
“Be aware of this,” he
said and urged consumers
never to show their bill to
any of these representatives.
He closed with a new
scam, “Do not call,” in
which the caller claims that a
person’s registration on the
do not call list is about to
expire and requests personal
information to continue the
service.

A final scheme to be
aware of is one that Mr.
Foeller’s son brought to his
attention. Known as Caller
ID spoofing, the scam uses
an app that can be downloaded, allowing a person to
call from what appears to be
the number of someone else.
“My son texted a friend
who thought it was his girlfriend,” he recalled. “Scammers have this same technology.”

through a litany of construction zones, many of which
are still active. Ms. Pollick
said drivers are prepared to
navigate and clear those
areas of snow and ice.
“What we have done is
taken the plows through
and said, ‘Okay, this is
where we can fit, and this is
what we’re going to do to
go through each and every
single work zone and how
we’re going to manage the
snow,’” she explained.
“We can do all the preemptive work that we can.
But until we actually get
through the storm, based on
wind conditions, everything’s going to be different. People–when they go
through them–have to
reduce their speed.”
Regardless of what winter has in store, ODOT officials are confident in their
ability to make drivers’

concerned about. This is
something we do every

the district’s operating budget
were forced to enact all of the
program and services cuts detailed in advance of the election. The cuts which will be
most visible to our community
is that of the reduction of
transportation services to the
state minimum.
Springfield will now only
offer transportation to prekindergarten–grade 8 students who live more than two
miles from their school. Just
like when failure to pass the
levy in August necessitated
the elimination of transportation for all our high school
students, district administrators have been hard at work
to create and implement and
communicate plans to manage these changes. The district continues to partner with
our community’s law enforcement agencies to address the influx of traffic at
and surrounding the schools
that is expected at drop-off
and pick-up times.
It is very important that
everyone be aware that even
for those students living more
than two miles from their
school–the levy’s failure also
has forced changes in the location of bus stops. Students
receiving transportation also
will be required to walk to a
specific pick-up/drop-off site.
Information has been disseminated to parents and both
site plans for each school and
new bus routes have been
posted at each school and on
the district website at
http://springfieldlocal

Best Wishes
to John Kahmann
Join Springfield Local
Schools in wishing John
Kahmann, who served the
district for 10 years as our
transportation supervisor, the
very best as he moves on to a
new role in the Old Fort
School District.
John recently completed
the additional educational requirements and certification
to become a school treasurer.
We will certainly miss the expertise and creativity that he
brought to our district yet always celebrate when talented
individuals challenge themselves to advance and attain
their professional goals.
The Board of Education
has rehired Ann Liggett, a
former Springfield transportation supervisor (who has
also trained/mentored many
of our region’s transportation
supervisors) to serve in an interim role.

Grocery store owners Amy, Karen and Kurt Baumgartner cut the ribbon to open the market. The family is joined by Springfield Township trustees and Holland-Springfield Chamber of Commerce members.
Springfield Township residents need not wait for the
Kroger to open at Orchard
Centre if they are looking for
a new and fresh grocery option.
On November 15 Amy,
Karen and Kurt Baumgartner
officially opened the doors to
Garden Harvest Marketplace
and Deli, formerly Dennis
Market on Airport Highway,
with a ribbon-cutting ceremony hosted by the HollandSpringfield Chamber of
Commerce.
Springfield Township officials and customers gathered outside the store to
welcome the business to the
community.
Unlike the new Kroger,
this store is much smaller, but
co-owner Karen Baumgartner
said it offers a strong local
focus, something she believes
sets them apart.
“We’re easy in, easy out,”
she said. “Our staff will be
able to talk to people if they
have questions, so excellent
customer service, easy in and
out and the freshest produce.
When in season we buy from
local farmers. We definitely
support Holland, Swanton
and Toledo growers.”
Their produce section,
currently well stocked with
apples from MacQueen’s Orchard, is easily the largest
part of the store. That colorful area and the entire store
looked far less appealing
when the family first purchased the market.
“It was a mess when we
got in here,” said Ms. Baumgartner. “We gutted the entire
place. My husband’s a carpenter as well, and he did a
lot of the work.”
The deli comprised a large
part of the renovations– of
which Ms. Baumgartner is
particularly proud, especially
with a gourmet chef creating
all of the entrees.
“All of our salads are
homemade [and] all of our
sandwiches are homemade,”
she said. “They do taste-testing on every employee. If it
doesn’t work out, they start
all over again.”
“They’re very unique
sandwiches–they’re grab and
go. The salads are very
unique, and we have a variety
of meats and cheeses. We do
have a line of meats that are
all natural, hormone-free,
dye-free meats. It’s all pure
and natural.”
In addition to fresh deli
and produce items, the store

She noted that the Toledo
Chamber of Commerce was
tremendously helpful in getting the business running,
providing counseling and a
business plan to help turn
their dream into a reality.
“Their whole staff was
wonderful,” she said. “They
helped us decide if it was absolutely feasible to do this
and helped us move forward.”
Kurt and Amy Baumgartner, who have experience in
the market business, said it
has always been their dream
to operate their own deli.

PET OF THE WEEK
BAILEY
Bailey is a twoyear-old sweetheart
who is ready to find
her forever home. A
dachshund and chihuahua mix, she is
very petite and does
not need a big yard
in which to get her
exercise.
Bailey is not a
fan of being picked
up, but if you let her
come to you and
climb up on your lap, she loves to cuddle. Chihuahuas are
very intelligent, and dachshunds are playful and loving dogs.
Talk about the perfect combination.
Because she is still fearful of being picked up and
roughly handled, she would do best with a home that is free
of kids. She just needs some patience and love to help her get
over her fears. Bailey is spayed, up to date on her vaccinations and is microchipped.
For more information, visit the Toledo Area Humane Society,

Lou Ellen, Mariah, and Madelyn await the crowning of the 2014 Springfield High School
JROTC Military Ball Queen. They were joined by Sophomore Attendant Jazlyn Wyman and
Freshman Attendant Audrey Beatrice.
Springfield High School News
By Rhonda Jemison,
principal
The annual Springfield
High School Military Ball is
more than what one might
perceive as “a school dance.”
Rather, the event is an educational and developmental
evening led by students as
part of the course’s leadership/citizenship curriculum.
Planned by cadet officers
from the opening “receiving
line” to the ending dance, the
Springfield High School Military Ball features many traditions
including:
the
Presentation of Colors;
JROTC girls choir; student
master
of
ceremonies
speeches; introduction of the
school board, principals and
other VIPs; formal toasts to
the country and leaders; dinner; keynote leadership
speaker, the honoring of
Springfield graduates who
have served in the military;
the honoring of selected
cadets, the Saber Arch for the
court, and presentation of the
Springfield High School Military Ball Court. Only after
that do all cadets relax to
enjoy dancing.
This year, the planning efforts were led by Cadet
Mariah Coleman, who served
as the mistress of ceremonies
throughout the evening.
The 2014 Military Ball
featured a very special
keynote speaker–Springfield
Local Schools Superintendent Dr. Michael D. O’Shea.
In his comments, Dr. O’Shea
suggested that there are three
major components that, if
they are applied throughout

life, will take each one of us
as far as we wish to go:
strong habits of mind, uncompromising work ethic
and a non-negotiable commitment to excellence in all
that you do.
He discussed with the
cadets that it takes hard work
to apply those three thing–
yet, he cited that there are
many on hand to support us
throughout our life’s journey.
He asked the cadets to, “Consider this–it’s a national epidemic that I call the ‘if-only’
syndrome ... if only I were
out of middle school ... If
only I had more friends ... If
only I had my driver’s license
... If only I was out of high
school ... and so on. Pretty
soon you wake up one day
and realize that you’ve been
looking for experiences and
missed the living that takes
place every day.” He suggested that, “Real living takes
place in the ‘in-between moments–those embraced in between the ‘if only I ...’ times.”
Following his comments.

Safety Program, OVI Task Force remind drivers:
‘Buckle up before you hit the road this Thanksgiving’
The Lucas County Traffic
Safety Program and the
Lucas County OVI Task
Force are joining in the national effort to reach out to
Thanksgiving travelers with
one important message:
buckle up.
Historically, Thanksgiving is the busiest travel time
of the year, putting more
people on the road and increasing the likelihood of
crashes. Each year in our
country, tens of thousands of
passenger vehicle occupants
die in motor vehicle crashes.
In 2012, more than 300 people were killed in crashes on
Thanksgiving
weekend
alone. Many of those deaths
could have been prevented
with one simple click of a
seat belt.
The National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that
proper seat belt use reduces
the risk of fatal injury to
front seat passengers by
45 percent, and the risk of
moderate to serious injury by
25
25
50 percent.
The latest seat belt survey
in Lucas County was done in
June 2014. Seat belt use was
63.2 percent which is down
from the May 2014 survey
when it was 75.6 percent.
National belt use is at 87 percent and in Ohio it is 85 percent. In 2013, 53 percent of
the people killed in motor
vehicle fatalities in Lucas
County weren’t buckled up
at the time of their crash.
“More than half the drivers and passengers being
killed in crashes aren’t
wearing seat belts. That’s a
major problem, said Deputy
Rob Sweeney, coordinator
for the Lucas County OVI
Task Force. Law enforcement will be doing overtime
enforcement
over
the
Thanksgiving
holiday.
Along with impaired driving, they also will be focusing on seat belt use.”
Younger drivers are the
most likely to be unbuckled
in a fatal crash. In 2012, the
age group 21 to 24 had the
highest percentage of occupants killed who were unrestrained: 63 percent were not
buckled up. NHTSA data
also reveals that males are
more likely to be unbuckled
than females in a fatal crash.
Fifty-six percent of the males
killed in crashes in 2012
were not buckled up, as compared to 43 percent for females.
“For those people who already buckle up every time:
Thank you,” said Gwen Neundorfer, coordinator of the
Lucas County Traffic Safety
Program. “For them, this
campaign serves as a reminder. But for those people
who still don’t buckle up for
whatever reason, please remember that buckling your
seat belt is one of the simplest, safest things you’ll
ever do.”

On Thanksgiving my
mom makes turkey, gravy and
corn. She gets a turkey that
weighs about 15 pounds because we have about 15 people in our family. She puts it
in a big pan and sprays this
stuff on it to get it clean. It
gets all the germs off it. Since
the pan was in a cupboard, it
probably had bugs on it, so
the spray gets rid of them, too.
The bugs will leave because
they don’t like the smell of
the spray.
The head isn’t on the
turkey, so my mom reaches in
where the head was and pulls
out all the stuff the turkey ate,
but we don’t eat like the
worms it ate before it died.
Then she puts it in the oven
for 40 minutes on number 3.
