Lakeside Chautauqua welcomes NBA All-Star and gold-medal Olympian Jerry Lucas this Friday, July 28 for three special events highlighting his three life journeys: faith, memory and athletics.

Lucas will serve as the keynote speaker for Lakeside’s first Prayer Breakfast at 7:30 a.m. in Wesley Lodge. The Prayer Breakfast is in memory of Jim Kettlewell and his dedication to nurturing Lakeside’s spirit.

Throughout his accomplished athletic career and his strides in memory research, Lucas held onto his strong faith, which he will share about at the Prayer Breakfast.

Sue Ramsey, former head coach of Ashland University’s women’s basketball team, will also join the Prayer Breakfast to briefly reflect on her own faith journey.

Linda Green, a longtime Lakesider, is the owner and founder of Omnigreen, a company that has offered services focused on natural and holistic healing for more than 40 years. She is an herbalist, aroma therapist, naturist and yoga instructor.

Her earliest memory as a child was of her exploring in the backyard, learning about which plants she could and could not eat.

“That is where it all began,” explained Green.

Since then, she has studied under many teachers, such as Vishnu Devananada, Swami Satchidinanda, Juliette de Bairacli Levy, James Duke and Jeanne Rose.

Green has spent years traveling and studying, from the Bahamas at the Sivananda Retreat, where she received her yoga instruction education, to the jungles of Central and South America, learning Polarity and Maya Abdominal therapies from the indigenous peoples. She also created her own degree curriculum in natural health sciences at Union University.

New Recycling Bins Placed Across the Grounds

Last summer, Lakeside Chautauqua received a grant from the Ottawa Sandusky Seneca (OSS) County Joint Solid Waste District and a donation from the Lakeside Environmental Stewardship Society (LESS) to purchase recycling containers, which have recently been placed around the Lakeside grounds.

The goal of the Competitive Funding Grant Program is to enhance recycling opportunities for residents of the three-county district.
Prior to receiving the grant, Lakeside had a developed recycling program in place, which includes a recycling pick-up service and a large recyclables collection area near the South Gate entrance.
