PERRYSBURG YOUR HOMETOWN NEWSPAPER 1853 1935 VOLUME 163, NUMBER 11 – MARCH 18, 2015 Wood County Health District shares 2014 annual report ‘Ranked sixth best in the state of Ohio for health outcomes’ The Wood County Health District (WCHD), located 1840 East Gypsy Lane, Bowling Green, provides numerous services to the community, including medical services for uninsured and underinsured men, women and children. The mission of the health district is to take the initiative to facilitate opportunities for county residents to lead healthy lives. “The last year brought many transitions for us at WCHD, and it provided many opportunities for growth and positive changes in our programs and services,” said Wood County Health Commissioner Ben Batey. “Through the receipt of new federal funding, we were able to complete a full renovation of our community health and wellness center. This funding also has led to an increase in staff and health care services offered. These are exciting times for us in public health.” The health district operates on revenues provided mostly by its tax levy, government grants, contracts and user fees. “About two-thirds of our expenses support the district’s greatest asset–the personnel who provide much needed public health services to the residents of Wood County,” said the health commissioner. The staff at the Wood County Health District is wearing blue in recognition of colorectal cancer awareness. month. Community Health and Wellness Center The community health and wellness center provides primary and preventive care regardless of ability to pay or health insurance status. The center offers primary care, prenatal care, senior health care, preventive health, women’s health care, men’s health care, immunizations, pediatrics and STD/STI testing.

Neil Munger, Wood County Park District director, said there is a limit of 25 parking spaces on the premise due to deed restrictions, adding that there will be minimal development to maintain the natural setting. Park officials are looking at the possibility of moving administrative offices from Mercer Road, Bowling Green, to the newer home built in the 1980s and overlooking the old limestone quarry off Lime City Road. The 60-acre preserve also features an old miner’s home constructed in the early part of the 20th century. Mr. Myers said the new entry drive leading into the park will be widened to two lanes that will accommodate emergency vehicles and school buses. He said there had been some discussion on additional landscaping. “We talked it over and came to the conclusion that there is plenty of landscape now,” Mr. Myers said, adding that only a minimal number of trees and foliage will be removed as needed to accommodate the wider road. “This will be a nice asset for our county and particularly our township,” said Rob Black, president of the zoning commission. Donated last year by the Sawyer family, the nature preserve brings to 20 the number of parks in the Wood County system. Zoning Changes Two zoning change requests were approved by the commission for parcels at 9677 Fremont Pike and 28747 Glenwood Road. Bayer Park LLC, across from the Target complex on U.S. Route 20, submitted an application to rezone 51.12 acres from A-1 agricultural and R-6 manufactured home park to C-2 community business. Rob Shouhayib, speaking on behalf of the applicant, said Bayer Park is seeking the change because the acreage is better suited for commercial development. The second request was submitted by FAE Glenwood Properties for two parcels on the west side of Glenwood Road north of State Route 795. Rossford’s corporate limits abut the property’s west side. David Bruhl spoke for the applicants, who requested the 4.842 acres be rezoned from C-2 community business to I2 general industrial. He said the owners plan to operate a general contracting business from the site and would like to put up a sign which is larger than currently permitted by the zoning code. Rather than seek a variance for the signage, the owners decided to request the zoning change which is more compatible with the area. Township zoning inspector/administrator Kelly Hemminger said the Wood County Planning Commission recommended unanimously that both zoning requests be approved. Other Business In other business, the commission: •Heard from Mrs. Hemminger that 15 zoning permits were issued in January, collecting $1,778. In February 10 permits were issued totaling $1,767. •Learned that conversion of paper zoning certificates to digital format is now complete. “Records from 1958 to 2014 have been successfully scanned and preserved, allowing more flexibility in the future and quick and convenient access to the records,” said the zoning inspector. •Announced that Walmart on Route 20 submitted plans for a $400,000 general interior/exterior remodel. Exterior surfaces will be painted and new signage installed. “There will be no structural alterations,” Ms. Hemminger added. •Reviewed a breakdown of November election results for the zoning initiative. Of the 2,280 registered voters, 626 voted in the general election with 263 voting in favor of zoning and 363 opposed. •Heard from Mrs. Hemminger that she is working with Eckel Trace subdivision developers on a funding method for the extension of Carronade Drive. Midland Agency of Northwest Ohio, Inc., trustee, is listed as the owner.

Park director Neil Munger said plans are “progressing very nicely,” adding that the township zoning commission approved the site plan at its March 9 meeting. “They were very positive about the park and what is going on.” The work to be performed this year includes widening the entry drive to two lanes. Mr. Munger noted that the township fire department reviewed the road’s width to make sure first responders could navigate the road in an emergency. A turnaround at the end of the drive will be able to accommodate school buses for field trips to the park. In addition to the entrance road, 25 parking spaces will be installed with spaces at both homes on the property. A grass parking area is included as an alternate in the plans. Mr. Munger said the park district is limited by terms of the conservation easement on the number of paved parking spaces. Plans also call for a sidewalk to connect two homes on the 60-acre preserve located north of U.S. Route 20. Plans for the preserve call for widening the entry road and adding parking spaces When asked what would become of the stone columns at the entrance to the park, he said the columns will be removed but the stones will be preserved and reused. A gate similar to those at other county parks will be installed near the entrance, he added. There also are plans to install a sign at the park entrance. The park director said there was some question regarding landscaping along the drive, but after some discussion, it was determined that no additional landscaping is needed. “We are disrupting as little [natural area] as we can,” Mr. Munger added. In a related matter, he said a public meeting will be held at 7 p.m., Tuesday, April 7, at W.W. Knight Preserve on White Road in Per- rysburg Township to accept public input on what area residents would envision for the park. Other Business In other business, the commissioners: •Approved the purchase of a brush mower from VR Power Equipment for $3,830. •Passed a resolution to participate in the 2016-17 ODOT roadway funds. The park district has received funds in the past to repair and resurface roads and lots in its parks. In the last biennium budget, the district received $58,829. •Announced there will be a grand opening celebration at Black Swamp Preserve, 1014 South Maple Street, Bowling Green on Earth Day, Wednesday, April 22, at 11:30 a.m. •Heard from Virginia Dean of Friends of the Wood County Parks that the friends are gearing up for spring with activities including a monarch butterfly program and plant sale in May. Mrs. Dean also said membership in the organization is growing with close to 1,000 members. To become a member, visit the website at www.wcnet.org/~fwcp/. •Reviewed plans for converting the house at Bradner Preserve to an interpretive center. The center will feature a large meeting room, offices, window on wildlife area, mudroom, greenhouse and restrooms. The next commissioners meeting will be at 3 p.m., Tuesday, April 14, at J. C. Reuthinger Memorial Preserve Park, 30730 Oregon Road, Perrysburg Township, and is open to the public. –Jane Maiolo ‘Finish the fight against breast cancer’ PHS senior Dan Waltermeyer, state wrestling ACS Making Strides Against Breast Cancer annual walk is May 9 Congratulations! champion–first in 160 pound weight class Perrysburg High School senior Dan Waltermeyer, center, captured a state wrestling championship in the 160 pound weight class last weekend in Columbus. Trailing 6-3 with less than a minute remaining in the match, Waltermeyer pinned his opponent to earn the championship. The wrestler concludes his senior year with a record of 46-8. PHS junior Mario Guillen placed third in the 120 pound weight class at the championships and his brother, sophomore Moises, placed third at 132 pounds. The PHS wrestling team is under head coach Sam Cotterman. By Deb Buker This year, 8,710 women in Ohio will be diagnosed with breast cancer. And 232,670 women will be diagnosed in the United States. “These are scary statistics to think about and something must be done about it,” said Lissa Guyton, of WTVG13 ABC. “We are making progress–we have discovered behaviors that can prevent breast cancer and developed new treatments to beat it. As a result, more women today are surviving breast cancer than ever before. But, more needs to be done to finish the fight.” Ms. Guyton was the emcee for the March 14 kick-off breakfast for the American Cancer Society’s (ACS) Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Northwest Ohio held at the Hilton Garden Inn at Levis Commons. The annual 3.1-mile noncompetitive fund-raising Strides walk will take place at 9:30 a.m., Saturday, May 9, at the Town Center at Levis Commons. Last year, more than 2,300 walkers joined the Northwest Ohio Strides event and raised more than $118,000. “This year, we need even more walkers to join us to help finish the fight,” said Ms. Guyton, a member of the Wood County ACS board of directors. “We are all here today for a reason. Maybe you are here in honor of a breast cancer survivor–the memory of their journey still fresh in your mind. Maybe you lost a loved one to breast cancer and you are walking in their memory. Maybe the memories of your own breast cancer experience motivate your efforts. Or maybe you are here to make sure no one ever has to hear the words, ‘you have breast cancer.’” Money raised from Strides events across the country help fund a national call center that answers more than one million requests annually for cancer information. It allows free lodging for cancer patients traveling for treatment. Last year alone, patients saved $23.5 million in lodging The American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Northwest Ohio held its kick-off breakfast last Saturday. The annual 3.1-mile walk will be held May 9, at the Town Center in Levis Commons. Pictured from left, are Casey Pogen, Strides co-chair; Sara Shiels, 2015 honorary survivor, and Lissa Guyton, of WTVG13 ABC, who served as the emcee for the breakfast. costs through ACS’ Hope Lodge program. ACS’ Road to Recovery program provided more than 380,000 rides last year to cancer patients to or from treatment, said Ms. Guyton, adding that the program also connected more than 72,000 women newly diagnosed with breast cancer to a breast cancer survivor. “Many women battling breast cancer are taking lifesaving drugs, such as Herceptin and Tamoxifen, which were developed by American Cancer Societyfunded researchers,” said the board member. “We’ve invested more than $84 million in breast cancer research to date. In fact, just this past year here in Ohio, ACS funded 13 researchers with more than $6 million in funding toward breast cancer research. So we have our advocacy work, groundbreaking research and free comprehensive support.” She noted that since 1989, breast cancer death rates have declined by more than 34 percent–more than 203,000 lives saved. “I have been supporting the American Cancer Society for many, many years. I love supporting this organization, but I am also eager to stop my support,” said Ms. Guyton, who lost her father to colon cancer when she was 9 years old, and her sister passed away in 2011 from breast cancer. “I know that I speak on behalf of all of you when I say that we are ready to put the American Cancer Society out of business and celebrate the day when cancer becomes a thing of the past and we finish the fight. “We have talked a lot today about the capability each of you has to make a difference in the fight to end breast cancer. But the ‘what’ and the ‘how’ do not matter much if we don’t remember the ‘why.’” The kick-off breakfast honored many local breast cancer survivors and recog- nized sponsors for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. Sara Shiels, of Temperance, Michigan, was the honorary survivor at the breakfast. “As a survivor, I know we have inspiring, meaningful and truly important stories to share. Take the time to hear those survivor stories–be inspired by them and understand how much impact it had on their life,” said Ms. Shiels. “I am forever grateful for the wonderful gift this journey has given me. I have never felt more loved, I have never felt more support and I have never felt so much positive energy and kindness from close friends and strangers alike.” The honorary survivor said there are two reasons she is pleased to be a part of Strides and the American Cancer Society–her mom and giving back and supporting the community.

Business News Jeff and Kevin Bucher of Citizen Advisory Group Jane Weber, of Perrysburg, was the guest speaker at a recent meeting of the Fort Industry Chapter of the DAR. Ms. Weber retired as director of volunteer services at the Northwest Ohio Psychiatric Hospital, after 38 years of working in Ohio psychiatric and developmental facilities. She discussed her volunteer work since its inception in 2005 as a member of the Cemetery Reclamation Committee. The committee works under the auspices of the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI), the University of Toledo and the Ohio Department of Mental Health. The cemetery project aims to honor those patients admitted for all types of behavioral disorders who were buried in the two state hospital cemeteries: the “old” cemetery, located on Arlington Avenue behind Bowsher High School with 906 burials, and the “new” cemetery on the UT Health Science Campus with 1,100 burials. Together the two cemeteries were in active use for 85 years, beginning in 1888, when the Toledo Asylum for the Insane opened its doors, and they contained more burials than any other state hospital in Ohio. At the time of burial, the state of Ohio only provided flat numbered Perrysburg Commons Retirement Center granted a special Heart’s Desire for Eugenia “Jean” Fassold on Friday, March 13. Her son, daughter-in-law and special friends gathered in the community room at The Commons to surprise her during a luncheon to honor her. Her favorite lunch of shrimp, baked potato and German chocolate cake was prepared and served by Perrysburg Common’s Dietary Department. Ms. Fassold has been making quilts and lap quilts for many years for a variety of organizations. “We wanted to let her know how much we appreciate everything she does for people,” said Kelly Ebersbach, executive director. Ms. Fassold, 95, spends at least eight hours a day, seven days a week sewing in her apartment at Perrysburg Commons. She has never used a thimble, cutting board or wheel. The bed in her apartment serves as her cutting space. Her methods of sewing date back from more than 80 years ago when she, with help from her mother, made her first queen-sized quilt. She said she enjoys the touch and feel of fabrics and enjoys creating the patterns in a quilt.

Student volunteers have started to compile short profiles of some of the buried patients, many of whom were abandoned by their families when they were admitted to the hospital. By referencing the marker number with hospital medical records, volunteers have been able to identify 74 war veterans, including some from the Civil War.

These are the first uniform statewide rules that have been adopted and the first revision since first adopted in 1977. -The rules require a comprehensive operation and maintenance program for all systems in the county. This program will be phased in over several years. -The rules do not mandate automatic system upgrades, and all existing systems will be deemed approved unless they fail or need replaced. -The rules establish new standards for system construction, alteration and maintenance when a system fails, is altered, replaced or newly installed. -System owners can request a timeline for incremental repair or replacement of a system to spread costs out over time. -A wide range of design choices and technologies for new and replacement systems are available. -Lower cost, low maintenance systems such as septic tanks to leaching trenches that use natural soil for treatment will continue to be the primary system installed. New technologies will be available for use where soils present greater challenges for sewage treatment. -The new rules combine state standards with options for local flexibility. -Residents are currently required by statute to tap into a sanitary sewer once it becomes available, regardless of the status or age of their current system and this requirement will not change in the new rules. Housing and Demolition Program -In 2014, the health district partnered with the Wood County Planning Commission utilizing more than $600,000 from the Moving Ohio Forward Grant to demolish 65 structures in the county. This is the most demolitions in a single year since the program began in 1996.

One of the gaps we identified was the lack of supplies for EMS responders if they needed to care for a patient with confirmed or suspected Ebola. To address this, we applied for and received a grant to purchase a cache of supplies for EMS responders. In 2015, we expect to continue to meet to work to improve our planning and preparedness.” County Health Rankings The 2014 County Health Rankings report stated that Wood County was ranked sixth best out of 88 counties in Ohio for health outcomes. “This represents an improvement for the third year in a row,” said the health commissioner. “In 2011, Wood County was ranked 11th; 2012, ninth; 2013, seventh and now sixth in the state of Ohio.” For additional information on the health district programs and services, visit the website at www.wood countyhealth.org. ➧Continued from page 1 On February 29, 2012, Ms. Shiels lost her mom to breast cancer. And less than two years later, on September 12, 2013, eight days before her 35th birthday, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. “It seemed to come out of nowhere,” she said. “I underwent two rounds of fertility treatment, followed by chemotherapy and radiation. The last 18 months truly was an emotional journey–lots of ups and downs for sure. And my mom was with me every step of the way. Losing my mom as well as progress for all others battling cancer, made my fight and recovery that much more important to me.” This past September, in celebration of her birthday and her one-year cancer free anniversary, Ms. Shiels held a fund-raiser with family and friends raising more than $1,500 for ACS. And then in December, Ms. Shiels received some extraordinary news–she was expecting her first child. “I never thought I’d have children of my own,” said the mother-to-be. “And I want to be here for many, many years to come. That is why everything we do for the American Cancer Society and Strides is so important. Let us form teams and raise funds to advance research and put an end to this fight. By coming together and supporting this common cause, we can really make a difference–one stride at a time.” Co-chairwomen of the Strides walk are Casey Pogan and Julie Shope. Dan Galloway, manager of the Kroger store in Perrysburg, presented a $15,326 donation to ACS to kick off the fund-raising. Sponsors for the event also include the University of Toledo Medical Center, 13ABC, 101.5 the River and 92.5 Kiss FM Toledo. This year’s breakfast sponsor was Thompson, Williams, Donahue Group with Merrill Lynch Wealth Management.

Wood County Health District shares 2014 annual report PERRYSBURG MESSENGER JOURNAL —March 18, 2015— Page 3 419-260-0522 www.kraftytravel.com “Located Right Here in Perrysburg!” PERRYSBURG WINDOW & GUTTER CLEANING physician and author Angelo Volandes, M.D., on April 28, at 7 p.m., at Premier Catering, 4480 Heatherdowns Boulevard, Toledo. The free, hour-long community event will emphasize the importance of having conversations about a person’s wishes if he or she were unable to speak due to an illness or accident. In his new book, “The Conversation: A Revolutionary Plan for End-ofLife Care,” Dr. Volandes makes the case that the most important tool in medicine is, in fact, the conversation between the physician and patient. He contends that if doctors ex- plain options–including the choice to forgo certain medical interventions that are often of little benefit to patients with advanced illness–then patients can better understand their options and set clear goals for how they wish to spend the remainder of their lives. Equally if not more important, it is critical that the conversation is taken one step further and shared with family members who would be called upon to make medical decisions in the event you could not speak for yourself. While these conversations are imperative near the end of life, they are just as important for younger people. Dr. Volandes will discuss ways to empower indi- viduals and their families to advocate for an individual’s wishes before a crisis occurs. Dr. Volandes practices internal medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, and is on faculty at Harvard Medical School. He is co-founder and president of Advance Care Planning (ACP) Decisions, a non-profit foundation implementing systems and technologies to improve the quality of care delivered to patients in the healthcare system.

Saif Alkhatib, 23, an employee of Wireless Connection and Reynolds Quick Stop was indicted in federal court for his alleged role in a wide-ranging conspiracy in which stolen computers, smartphones and other electronics were fenced at stores in Toledo and resold in Michigan and the Middle East, law enforcement officials said. According to the federal indictment, some members of the conspiracy used firearms, threats and violence as part of their operation. Others illegally cashed millions of dollars worth of checks at their stores. Others sold counterfeit clothing from their stores. And members of the conspiracy worked together at Toledo stores to launder money. The indictment was announced last week by Steven Dettelbach, U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Ohio; Stephen Anthony, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Cleveland office; Toledo Police Chief George Kral; Lucas County Sheriff John Tharp, and Troy Stemen, assistant special agent in charge, IRS criminal investigation, Cincinnati. “This is a sophisticated crime and money-laundering racket whose reach stretched from Ann Arbor to Amman, Jordan,” Mr. Dettelbach said. Also indicted were residents of: Maumee–Mamoun Awwad, 43; Ayman Awwad, 42, and Aref Kahala, 23. Toledo–Adnan Awad, 33; Ihab Awad, 31; Anwar Awad, 39; Kamal Awwad, 40; Fady Awwad, 34; Freddy Delatorre, 32; Jeffrey Houttekier, 24; Ahmed Abdulateeef, 47; Ehab Adbdelsalam, 22; Timothy Fields, 32; Mayssam Kaddoura, 36, and Jamal Abdel Aziz, 44. Michigan–Haney Sarsour, 36, Dearborn; Ameen Sarsour, 31, Dearborn; Michael Safadi, 37, Westland; Fali Abdallah, 34, Dearborn; Mustafa Deebajah, 27, Dearborn, and Omar Dari, 54, Ann Arbor. Jordan–Essa Allawneh, and Adli Alawneh, ages unknown, Amman. Address unknown–Mutaz Almumani, 29, and Fadi Qasis, 30. In the indictment Mamoun Awwad, Adnan Awad, Ihab Awad, Ayman Awwad, Anwar Awad, Kamal Awwad, Fady Awwad and Aref Kahala are listed as family members who own and operate clothing stores, electronics stores and grocery/convenience stores in Toledo. It alleges that the businesses were used to facilitate criminal schemes, including the sale of counterfeit goods, trafficking stolen goods and unlawfully cashing checks, according to the indictment. The Awwad family enterprise bought stolen electronics, such as iPhones, iPads and Samsung cellular phones from drug addicts and low-income people, then altered the electronics’ hardware and software so they could be registered on cellular networks, the indictment reads. The Awwad family enterprise then allegedly sold the stolen electronics locally, in Michigan and overseas. Mamoun Awwad did this, in part, by meeting with crew members of Royal Jordanian Airlines in Detroit to have them transport electronics and cash, according to the indictment. The goal of the conspiracy was to generate cash and send it overseas to establish a series of residences in Rammoun, Palestine, for members of the Awwad family enterprise and their families, the indictment alleges. The family unlawfully cashed checks at the Reynolds Quick Stop and other grocery/convenience stores as a way to generate revenue and launder proceeds from the sale of counterfeit and stolen goods. The family cashed more than $11 million in checks at store locations between 2011 and 2014, according to the indictment. The family also knowingly sold shoes, sweat suits, T-shirts and other clothing bearing counterfeit logos and trademarks of brands includ- ing Nike, Timberland, Coogi, Ralph Lauren, RoccaWear, Ecko, Lacoste, Dolce Gabbana and others, the indictment states. The Awwad family enterprise also allegedly used violence to maintain control of the stolen goods market in Toledo. “The Awwad criminal enterprise used force and intimidation to control their complex network of illegal schemes all in an effort to line their bank accounts with millions,” Special Agent Anthony said. “We are pleased the strength of our long standing local, state, and federal law enforcement partnerships has successfully dismantled a pervasive criminal enterprise that has plagued the citizens of Toledo and Lucas County for more than a decade. “ “I think an operation such as this shows how well local law enforcement works with the federal government,” Police Chief Kral added. “The citizens of the City of Toledo are much safer thanks to this multidisciplinary approach to policing.” “The 26 individuals indicted went to great lengths to create the illusion of a successful family enterprise,” Special Agent Stemen said. “This massive federal indictment has exposed these individuals for who they really are–thugs and thieves.” The case is being prosecuted by assistant U.S. attorneys Duncan Brown and Michael Freeman. Motorists reminded to use headlights during foggy weather Motorists are reminded that as the weather warms, foggy conditions can become more prevalent, making the need to use headlights imperative. Wood County Sheriff Mark Wasylyshyn said fog is one of the most dangerous weather hazards, especially dense fog or when combined with other adverse weather. “Foggy conditions are the number one cause of large multi-car pile ups,” he added. He advises drivers to use their headlights. “Daytime running lights are not enough as they do not illuminate tail lights. Driving with your headlights on in fog is not necessarily for you to see better, but for you to be seen,” he explained. Automatic headlights do not turn the full lights on, he continued. “You must manually turn on the headlights. You essentially become a ghost car when you don’t have headlights on.” He cautioned against using high beams during foggy conditions. “High beam headlights reflect off the water vapor and actually decrease visibility,” the sher- iff said. “While drivers may believe low beams have the same effect, it is important to keep them on so other drivers can see your vehicle.” Sheriff Wasylyshyn also reminds drivers to maintain a safe following distance in fog. “Most drivers tend to bunch up because they feel it’s easier to see. That’s one of the big reasons massive pile ups occur.” If the fog becomes too dense, motorists should find a place to park and wait for conditions to improve. “Pull into a driveway, parking lot, rest area, side street or any place where you can get away from heavy traffic,” he said. “If the roadway shoulder is your only option, pull way over. Go into the grass if necessary. If there’s a curb, drive over it and park. Stay buckled and turn your lights off since people may think you are driving on the roadway and rear-end you.” The sheriff also reminds drivers that using headlights in fog and rainy conditions is required by state law, and anyone not using their lights could be issued a citation. Suggestions for avoiding identity theft offered Our neighbor is dealing with a case of identity theft. It’s been a nightmare for him. What can we do to protect ourselves? Identity theft is running rampant, and it can take many forms. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, 16.6 million people experienced identity theft in 2012. Plus, a recent report by the Identity Theft Resource Center revealed that more than 85 million records were compromised in 783 data breaches during 2014, putting many people’s information at risk. And the Federal Trade Commission recently reported that tax-related identity theft complaints made a big jump in 2014, accounting for almost one-third of the nearly 333,000 identity theft complaints it received. Identity thieves have numerous tricks up their sleeves. Once they have your personal information, they can take money from your bank account, use your credit card information to make purchases, file a tax return and get your refund, and open new accounts in your name that you never know about until creditors start hounding you. Thieves can get your personal information in many ways, from hacking into computerized records to rifling through your trash or recycled paper to find sensitive information. You can take steps to reduce your risk, including: • Protect your personal information as much as possible. Shred statements with account numbers on them and change online credit and bank account passwords every three to six months. Limit what you carry in your wallet to only the credit or debit cards you need. Leave your Social Security card at home in a secure place. If you have a Medicare card, carry it with you only when you need to use it. •Review your credit re- ports regularly. By law, you can get a free credit report from each of the three credit reporting companies — Equifax, Experian and TransUnion—every year. The companies don’t always have the same information, so get reports from each. Some experts advise setting up a schedule to get one free report every four months. You can get free reports by calling 877-322-8228 or going to annualcreditreport. com. Once you get your report, check it to make sure it lists only accounts that you have opened. Take immediate steps to correct any errors you find. • You may want to consider requesting a credit freeze. This will help prevent anyone from opening a new account with your information. You will need to lift the freeze if you ever want to open a new credit account or allow a lender or other business to review your credit report, and that may also cost a fee. But the inconveniences could be worth your peace of mind. To find out more about how to protect yourself, as well as what to do if you become a victim of identity theft, see the FTC’s publication, “Taking Charge: What To Do If Your Identity is Stolen,” online at consumer.ftc.gov.

Solid waste district sets recycling cancellation policy Due to inclement weather this winter, the Wood County Solid Waste Management District has established a policy that addresses cancellations. At the March 4 meeting, recreation director Bob Warnimont informed the Perrysburg Township trustees of the changes. According to the policy, the district in cooperation with the Bowling Green Recycling Center will only cancel satellite recycling when a weather emergency has been declared by the sheriff which inhibits the delivery of the applicable cargo trailers. If this occurs, respective volunteer groups and political subdivisions will be notified as well as news outlets. At the discretion of the solid waste district, individual satellite locations and respective volunteer groups may cancel collection as they see fit. The cancellations must be made no later than 3 p.m. on the Wednesday before the regularly scheduled collection. Cancellations must be approved by the district prior to any public notice being given. If a cancellation is made after the deadline which results in unwarranted delivery of cargo trailers, the district may withhold a portion of the subside to cover the cost of placement of unused trailers. “The intent in doing this is not to prohibit groups from cancelling service when they feel that doing so must be done, but rater to ensure that when this occurs, proper communication takes place to inform the public,” said Joseph Fawcett, assistant county administrator. “This is also to ensure that the recycling center is notified in advance if they service the satellite location,” he added. .==ŻQ 0ŻŸQ Huge Garage Sale!

Examples of summer produce include: broccoli, cucumbers, peppers, eggplant, onions, tomatoes, potatoes, squash, zucchini, kale, melons, corn, blueberries, and peaches.

(HPI) is seeking nominations for its annual Bentley Historic Preservation Award. The purpose of the award is to increase awareness of Perrysburg’s heritage by recognizing individuals, organizations, businesses and agencies whose contributions demonstrate outstanding commitment to excellence in historic preservation, local history or promotion of the heritage of the community. In addition to public and private buildings and structures, historic preservation projects may include media, publications, presentations and exhibits, parks, burial grounds, public art, oral history, theater productions, events and video presentations. This is the fifth year Historic Perrysburg will present the Bentley Award. The inaugural award was presented to Welch Publishing in 2011. Subsequent awards were presented to WGTE “Toledo Stories” series, to local historian C. Robert Boyd Sr. and to Rev. Monsignor Marvin Borger. This award was established by HPI after discovering what Hilda Bentley and her family did for historic preservation not only in Perrysburg and neighboring communities, but also statewide and nationwide. The late Mrs. Bentley was known as a historic preservationist. She worked for decades to preserve historical architecture and sites in the Maumee River Valley and around the country. The Perrysburg resident was a member of the National Trust for Historic Preservation and served as an advisor for the National Trust of Ohio for two terms. She also served on the study committee for goals and preparations for the trust in Washington, D.C. In 1991, Mrs. Bentley was named advisor emeritus for the National Trust. She was a member of the Ohio Historical Society, served on the state Preservation Advisory Board and on the board of trustees on the Ohio Historical Society, and chaired the Historic Preservation Committee Board. Mrs. Bentley was given the Ohio Preservation Award in 1986 for her efforts in the Maumee Valley and throughout the state. The preservationist was on the Maumee Valley Historical Society board of trustees and was a founding member of the society’s landmarks committee. Her conservation interest spear-headed the surveys of downtown Toledo, Perrysburg and Maumee. She worked to have these areas placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Mrs. Bentley was a founding member of the Citizens Committee for Fort Meigs in 1965 and was instrumental in the fort’s preservation and reconstruction. From 1971 to 1976, she worked on the research of the Heising Mill (Ludwig Mill) in Grand Rapids, which resulted in the placement of the site on the National Register in 1974. She also was a founding member of the Citizens Committee for Ludwig Mill for the Toledo Metropolitan Parks. In 1973, she assisted in the establishment of the Friends of the Maumee River, an action group which worked toward designation of the river as a State Scenic and Recreational River. She was a long-time member of the Country Garden Club which is affiliated with the Garden Club of America (GCA). She served as a national officer of the senior club and in 1970 received the Zone X conservation award for Historic Preservation. She also served as chairman of the National Committee to Preserve the Redwoods and was instrumental in enlarging the size of the GCA to be one of the largest in the country. As her interest in preservation grew, she became a member of the National Society of the Colonial Dames of America–the foremost conserver of historic properties in the country. Mrs. Bentley died at the age of 95 on April 5, 1997. Nominations for the Bentley Historic Preservation Award will be evaluated on the basis of one or more of the following: •Active involvement and or contribution to the preservation of/or the promotion of northwest Ohio history. •Initiative in pursuing preservation activities that are not required by law and which do not reflect the organization’s mandate. •A completed nomination form. •A typed statement describing the project or activity for which the organization, individual, business and/or agency being nominated and its impact on the community and overall contribution to the area’s history and preservation. •Nominations should include copies of any related publications and photos. •Also to be included are any news clippings or other supplementary data.

Call for entries The eighth annual fiber577 art show June 6 and 7 PERRYSBURG MESSENGER JOURNAL — March 18, 2015 — Page 9 The fiber577 committee recently announced the dates for the eighth annual fiber577 art show–June 6 and 7. The event will take place at the 577 Foundation, former estate of Virginia Secor Stranahan, 577 East Front Street, Perrysburg. The juried show takes place in the 577 house and features a variety of fiber art pieces including art quilts, felting, mixed media and sculpture. The entire grounds feature fiber-related activities, demonstrators as well as a non-juried fiber show. Last year more than 1,200 people visited the show. The history of the show began with a transition from the “Art Dabbler Fair” sponsored by the former Perrysburg Area Arts Council into a show that focuses on fiber. This was in large part to honor the love of both arts and the fiber arts by the 577 Foundation founder, Virginia Secor Stranahan, as well as a group of dedicated volunteers who kept the idea of an annual art show at 577 alive. One of those members, Frances Parry, Mrs. Stranahan’s granddaughter, was instrumental in the transition from art dabblers to arts with the concentration on the fiber field. “My love for fiber arts is something I shared with my grandmother” said Ms. Parry. “She always had a knitting project going and I know she would be thrilled to see her home come alive each June with the works of so many talented textile artists.” Ms. Parry also believes that if alive today, her grandmother would “enjoy mingling with each of these artists.” “The range of work that the fiber577 art show attracts would very much appeal to her creative and curious nature. Her legacy is very much alive through this show,” she added. Visitors to the show will experience a delight of the senses as they walk through the 577 house viewing a show that attracts artists from around the country. As guests enter, they are greeted by a fiber sculpture of a sweet lady knitting, affectionately referred to as “Virginia” by many. It was created by Michigan fiber artist Lynn Spitz-Nagel. As guests leave the house they can discover fiber “bombs” throughout the grounds, music, a pottery sale and visit with fiber related animals. The juried exhibition portion of the show is open to all artists working in the fiber or fiber-influenced media. This show is free and open to the public. Sponsors include Angelwood Gallery, Entelco, Garden Smiles, Kingston Health Care, Natural Fiber & Yarn, Principle Business Enterprises, Taylor Cadillac, The Andersons, Toledo City Paper, Welch Publishing and WGTE. For additional information visit the website at www.fiber577.com or follow fiber577 on Facebook. Call for Entries The fiber577 committee is now seeking entries for show. The fiber577 exhibition continues its mission to bring the most relevant regional and national artists working in fiber and fiberrelated mixed media, from exquisitely crafted traditional to cutting edge experimental. Fiber based work includes felting, art quilts, weaving, wearable, collage, mixed media, assemblage, sculpture and textiles. Participating artists will be eligible for monetary awards including Best of Show, first through third places, and the People’s Choice Award. For the fourth year, at the conclusion of the weekend, artists will have the opportunity to participate in Fabulous Fibers 2015–June 14 through July 19–at Angelwood Gallery in Grand Rapids, Ohio. This year’s judge is acclaimed fiber artist Brooks Harris Stevens, an associate professor of fibers at Eastern Michigan University. Her formal training began at the Savannah College of Art and Design and continued with graduate work at the School of Art and Design at East Carolina University. Ms. Stevens creates interdisciplinary works of art that are deeply rooted in the history of textiles. Her current research focuses on various cultural observations of rituals worldwide. The associate professor has shown her work extensively nationally and internationally with solo shows in Paris, France, Prizerine, Kosovo, Vancouver, Washington, as well as Ann Arbor, Michigan. Currently, she is preparing work for upcoming solo and group exhibitions in Tirana, Albania, Atlanta, Georgia, and Bloomington, Indiana. Artists may submit up to three pieces per $16 entry fee (non-refundable). Application deadline is April 17. To enter the show, visit the website at fiber577.com. Guest speaker Clint Mauk Historic Perrysburg to host ‘Tea with Virginia Secor Stranahan’ Mar. 28 In celebration of Women’s History Month, Historic Perrysburg, Inc. (HPI) is hosting a ladies tea–“Tea with Virginia Secor Stranahan” on Saturday, March 28. The tea will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., at the Carranor Hunt and Polo Club on East Second Street in Perrysburg. The late Virginia Secor Stranahan was the daughter of Jay Secor and Mary Barnes Secor, a Western oil and gold heiress. In 1929 she married Toledo industrialist Duane Stranahan Sr., the retired vice president of Champion Spark Plug Co. She was surrounded by financial well-being and by the family’s strong social and civic role in the city’s development. Mrs. Stranahan was an accomplished sportswoman, expert skier, fly fisherwoman and amateur golfer. She traveled extensively, often seeking out remote destinations of particular geographic or ecological interest. She continued her parents’ legacy of enlightened community service, responding to the challenges of each decade.

She volunteered as a nurse’s aide during the World War II days and served on many community boards. Mrs. Stranahan was particularly keen on helping individuals achieve their highest potential through ed- ucation and experience. So many people were able to move their lives ahead because of her support, both financial and spiritual. She always trusted people’s instincts about what they thought was important in their own lives. Mrs. Stranahan, who passed away in 1997, founded the 577 Foundation–a lasting gift to Perrysburg. Guest speaker at the tea will be Clint Mauk, a Perrysburg native who grew up with the Stranahan children and was a friend of Mrs. Stranahan. Mr. Mauk, a third generation native of the Toledo area, has a great interest in the history of Perrysburg, Toledo and northwest Ohio. His book, “Historic Tales of Toledo” has raised more than $150,000 for the Toledo Rotary Foundation. He has given more than 600 talks and lectures as an historical story-teller. Mr. Mauk is a past president of Historic Perrysburg and currently serves on the board of the 577 Foundation. The speaker will share stories of growing up with the Stranahan children. The cost for the tea is $25 per person and reservations are due by March 21. For reservations, send a check, made payable to Historic Perrysburg, Inc., to P.O. Box 703, Perrysburg, Ohio 43552. Following the tea, guests are invited on a tour of the 577 Foundation. For additional information on HPI, visit the website at www.historicperrysburg .org.

GBBC reports for 2015 also show a surge in Snowy Owl sightings across the same range, though the frequency of reports is about half of last winter’s. This is a well-known phenomenon with Snowy Owls, with the year after a very large invasion often being referred to as an “echo flight.” Winter finches–such as Evening Grosbeaks, Pine Siskins, redpolls, and crossbills–are popular among GBBC participants. These birds also “irrupt” south of HOME P E R I T A L F KS A E T S LARGE grees Fahrenheit. For those who did brave the cold, the GBBC data will help to better understand the impact of the cold on birds and bird populations. For example, scientists will be able to compare the abundance of some so-called “half-hardy” species, such as Carolina Wren and Yellow-rumped Warbler, to see if this cold winter has affected their populations. Snowy Owls are one of the most charismatic and emblematic birds of winter. They breed in Arctic regions worldwide and drop south in some winters (“irrupt”), depending on food supplies and their breeding success in the previous summer. The winter of 2013-14 LB.

Compare that to 1.2 percent of checklists in 2014 when most siskins stayed far north in Canada. Siskins will likely be hanging around through April and May, especially if the feeders are stocked with their favorite nyjer (thistle) seed. Surprisingly, a Eurasian species, the Brambling, appears on the Top 10 list of most reported species for the first time ever. Since November, some of these birds have been spotted on the West Coast and others strayed even farther by turning up in Montana, Wyoming and Ontario, with one 2015 GBBC record in North America from Washington state. But the Brambling’s appearance among the Top 10 can be traced to one checklist from Germany reporting a flock estimated at one million birds. Up to three million Bramblings have been known to gather at that site. In Wood County, 42 checklists were submitted, with 43 different species sited. The top bird sightings were, in order, Canada Goose, Wild Turkey, Darkeyed Junco, Common Grackle, Mallard, Horned Lark, Blue Jay.

The 5,090 species reported represents nearly half the possible bird species in the world. The four-day count was held February 13-16, the 18th year for the event which is a joint project of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society with partner Bird Studies Canada. The information gathered by tens of thousands of volunteers helps track the health of bird populations at a scale made possible by using the eBird online checklist program. GBBC participants even reported two species, Millpo Tapaculo and Santa Marta Screech-Owl that have not yet been described in the official scientific literature. The bitter cold, snowy weather in much of the northeastern United States and much of Canada was a major factor in this year's count. In much of the Northeast, Sunday was particularly frigid and windy, and the number of reports showed an obvious dip as some counters were forced indoors.

Visitors can discover the science and history behind the instrument that revolutionized music. Play the world’s largest guitar, see more than 60 instruments ranging from the rare and antique to the wildly popular and investigate how different materials affect a guitar’s sound. This exhibition explores all facets of the world’s most popular instrument–from its evolution into an instrument of popular culture to the science of creating sound with wood and steel. Interact with the guitar through hands-on interactives, performance video, audio and stunning images. The exhibition is composed of three elements: the science of sound; the evolu- Send your news item to: newSforAll@ PerrySBurG.Com Above: Part of the Guitar exhibit at Imagination Station.

Guitar: The Instrument That Rocked The World uses an instrument that most people are familiar with to explore some fascinating science concepts. ” said Carl Nelson, chief scientist for Imagination Station. “Sound impacts our lives on a near-constant basis, but many people never think about how sound is created and transmitted.” “The guitar is the most enduring icon in American history,” according to HP Newquist, the executive director and founder of The National Guitar Museum. “It has been around longer than baseball, basketball, soft drinks and sports cars. This exhibition is a celebration of all that and more. It’s hard to find anyone who hasn’t been affected by the guitar, whether as players or as fans of music ranging from country and folk to jazz and rock. And it may be apocryphal, but it’s said that the two most recognizable manmade shapes on the planet are the Coke bottle and the electric guitar.” For more information, call 419.244.2674 or visit the website at www.imaginationstation toledo.org. 419-874-9499 E: [email protected] Fax: 419-874-7990 Ohio Newspapers Foundation Scoles selected to serve as jurist announces scholarship, internships for AIA/ALA building awards The Ohio Newspapers Foundation has broadened scholarship opportunities for students majoring in one of the following newspaper industry related fields: journalism, advertising, marketing and communications.

This guy just loves to nap, nap, and nap some more. But that shouldn’t be too much of a surprise since this handsome tuxedo and tabby fella is about 10 years old. When Ervin is not napping, he is pretty even keel in personality. He gets along very well with other cats and he seems to just want to hang out, relax, and enjoy his golden years. Ervin is part of our March Madness promotion (just like the rest of the cats currently in our care), so his adoption fee is only $4. Do you have some comfy places around your home where Ervin could catch some “zzz”s? Then stop by the shelter and meet him today! Trilla is a special little lady. She came to us without her left hind leg, but no worries. That missing leg doesn’t slow this boxer/terrier mix down one bit. In fact, Trilla is especially fond of taking long walks, so she is looking for an equally active human with a strong sense of adventure. Trillia is sweet-tempered and very affectionate. She also is a bit of a diva: Trilla enjoys being pampered and receiving extra love, attention, and, of course, treats. We recently introduced Trilla to a play group (of dogs), and she does quite well with them. However, she doesn't get along with all dogs, and plays best with “easy going” dogs. Does Trilla sound like the perfect addition to your family? Then come out to the shelter and meet her today! *All of our pets have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated appropriate to their age, tested for heart worm and current on prevention in dogs, received an initial de-worming and flea prevention, have a 14-day health guarantee and a free physical exam to local participating veterinary offices. All of our pets are also microchipped prior to adoption. Bring this advertisement to the shelter when you come to adopt one of our featured animals and receive $10 off the animal’s regular adoption price (not combined with any other specials) with an approved application. Please visit or call the Wood County Humane Society at 419-352-7339 to learn more about these great pets. All of our adoptable animals can be viewed by visiting www.WoodCountyHumaneSociety.org.

Page 16 — March 18, 2015 — PERRYSBURG MESSENGER JOURNAL Penta CBI students research job opportunities at career fair From left are Jodie Watson of CSX, Austin Fargo, a Perrysburg High School senior, and Esten Hartman of CSX. For seniors who may not be thinking about entering college this fall, there are numerous career opportunities available in northwest Ohio. On March 6, students enrolled in the career based intervention (CBI) programs at Penta Career Center learned about job opportunities during a career fair at Cedar Creek Church in Perrysburg Township. The event featured 18 area employers including CSX, Dynamic Dies, the Andersons, Meijer, Thayer FordNissan, Wendy’s Corporation, Ironworkers Local 55, Laborers Local 574 and Bergquist, Inc. Representatives from the U.S. military, Penta Adult and Continuing Education and MIAT (Michigan Institute of Aviation and Technology) also were on hand. “This is an opportunity for our students to talk with em- ployers and educational institutions as they prepare for life after high school,” said John Chaney, supervisor of CBI programs. “This will help students make employment connections and build confidence.” During the fair, students participated in workshops presented by area apprenticeship programs, employers and post-secondary institutions. Brad Mich and Steve Stewart spoke on the apprenticeship program available through Ironworkers Local 55. “We are a five-year program,” explained Mr. Stewart, adding that those enrolled earn money during the day on the job and attend school a few evenings each week. Students learn all aspects of HVAC systems, pipefitting and electrical. The students construct pipes that carry steam, air, compressed air, argon, nitrogen or “anything that can go through a pipe,” he said. Mr. Mich noted that much of the work pipefitters do entails preventive maintenance. “We have many maintenancetype contracts, and we do a lot of emergency calls,” he said. “It’s really a neat field. There’s a lot of learning about how a building works,” he added. When asked about pay rates, he said the starting wage is $15 per hour with most workers topping out at $38.30 per hour. Mr. Stewart pointed out that the cost for the apprenticeship training program is minimal since everyone in Local 55 contributes a portion of their paycheck to the school. Mr. Mich said that in addition to the pay, the benefits are “great,” and include health care and a fringe package. Mr. Stewart believes the program sets students on a career path. “It’s a very good career. You can make good money and raise a family,” he added. The two noted that safety is a top priority with workers receiving annual OSHA training, drug screening and other training as the field warrants. They encouraged students to apply at their Northwood facility. “We only take 40 students per year, and the program hasn’t filled up,” said Mr. Stewart. He suggested that any interested students “come dressed to succeed. Look like you want the job.” Jodie Watson and Esten Hartman of CSX spoke about career opportunities available at the CSX intermodal complex in North Baltimore. Their presentation began with a video of trains entering the facility and cranes loading and unloading freight. Ms. Watson said the intermodal was constructed four years ago and is undergoing expansion. “We started with five train (lines), and we’re now up to seven. “ She noted that the work seen on the video was per- formed by intermodal service workers. Training is done on-site while working with a mentor, she explained. Employees begin by operating a crane simulator and move to the rail yard after completion of training. They will work with mentors as teammates until they are ready to perform the tasks on their own, she said. “The goal in training is to move 12 to 15 (cargo) units in an hour. We have guys doing 40,” she added. Pay is $21.06 per hour with full benefits and a railroad retirement package after 30 years of employment, Ms. Watson said. Currently CSX employs 350 people at the complex which operates three shifts–7 a.m. to 3 p.m., 3 to 11 p.m., and 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. In addition to crane operators, there are positions available in other areas. She encouraged interested candidates to visit the website at csx.com and clicking on the link “Working at CSX.” Following the presentations, students were invited to the lobby where they spoke with representatives about career and educational options and had the opportunity to complete applications. –Jane Maiolo Kevin Rantanen of Perrysburg Lawn and Landscape, speaks with senior Austin Garcia at the fair. Perrysburg Women’s Softball League announces changes The Perrysburg Women’s Softball League is getting ready for the 2015 summer season and changes are coming with it. One of the most important changes has come after much discussion with PABSC in the scheduling of fields this year. Since PWSL was unable to secure a lighted field, games will be played on field numbers 2 and 5 at Municipal Park at 5:30 and 7 p.m. instead of the traditional 5:30 and 8:30 p.m. schedule. The 10-game schedule will start on May 3. The other change this year is in the appointment of a new commissioner. The league is overseen by three commissioners who serve for three years each. Jen Garringer is serving her third year and Amy Allan is in her second year. Erica Parish was welcomed as the newest commissioner at the captain’s meeting on March 2. PWSL is a recreational slow-pitch league made up of A team in the PWSL from last season. mostly Perrysburg City and Township residents. A fee of $30 covers the rental of the fields, umpire fees, purchase of balls, scorebooks and in- surance for the league. The league is comprised of six teams and welcomes new players, over the age of 23, regardless of previous softball experience.

Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge Humane Society holding March Madness adoption event to hold spring volunteer training The Wood County Humane Society (WCHS) is getting in the spirit of spring by hosting a March Madness adoption event this month. The event, which officially kicks off on Wednesday, March 11, will offer reduced adoption prices for select featured animals in an attempt to place as many current shelter residents as possible in their forever homes. The WCHS March Madness adoption event is patterned on the annual National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Men's Division I Basketball Tournament, which was created in 1939 by the National Association of Basketball Coaches. Like its namesake, the event will put a number of animals–both cats and dogs–against one another in a head-to-head race to see which animals will be adopted the quickest. All dogs over one year old and all cats over the age of six months have been grouped, or bracketed, based on adoption fees. Prices will vary by bracket, but all featured animals will be offered at a pre-set reduced adoption fee of $4, $16, or $64. To learn more about the event, community members can stop by the shelter, located at 801 Van Camp Road in Bowling Green, on or after March 11. Hours of shelter operation are Wednesdays and Thursdays, from noon to 7 p.m., and Friday through Sunday, from noon to 4 p.m. The Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge Association is looking for volunteers who have a passion for wildlife and an interest in helping people enhance their visit to the Refuge.
