PHS drama students polish dance steps for ‘Mary Poppins’ Members of the Drama Club at Perrysburg High School are polishing dance steps and fine tuning harmonies for the upcoming production of “Mary Poppins.” Under the direction of codirectors Rob Gentry and Joel Hamilton, vocal coach/accompanist Nicole Spadafore, choreographer Clark Ausloos and assistant scenic designer Perry King, they are making sure everything is done “in the most delightful way.” Performances are scheduled for Thursday, April 23, through Saturday, April 25, at 7:30 p.m., with matinee performances on Saturday, April 25, and Sunday, April 26, at 2:30 p.m. All performances are in the PHS auditorium located at 13385 Roachton Road. “Mary Poppins” is the story of the Banks family from London. Things are not going well for the family; the children, Jane and Michael, are out of control and are in need of a new nanny. Mr. Banks wants the new nanny to be strict, but Jane and Michael have their own ideas about what sort of person she should be. When a mysterious woman named Mary Poppins appears at their doorstep, the family finds that she’s the answer to their prayers, but in a rather peculiar way. Mary Poppins takes the children on many magical adventures, including on the rooftops of London and a magical stroll in the park. Not only are these adventures memorable for the children, Please turn to page 2➧ By Deb Buker In 1968, the Ohio State Buckeye football team won the NCAA championship and the Detroit Tigers won the World Series. The phrase “Book ‘em, Danno” was made popular by actor Jack Lord who portrayed Steve McGarrett in the original “Hawaii Five-O” television series. “And, 1968 was the year that our corporate citizen of the year established a business in a three-car garage,” said Wood County Commissioner Doris Herringshaw announcing the Corporate Citizen of the Year at the 22nd annual Wood County Economic Development Commission (WCEDC) dinner. Forty-seven years later, added the commissioner, the business remains family owned and operated by second generation family members and a third generation nephew. “Our Corporate Citizen of the Year employs 27 skilled machinists, engineers and support personnel,” said Commissioner Herringshaw. “The company provides precision machine component parts, mechanical assembly, and engineering design services to industry across the world. They are located in Perrysburg Township.” The commissioner told the more than 500 people attending the dinner at the Hilton Garden Inn, that the Corporate Citizen of the Year has an excellent reputation for innovation and quality, reliability and speed and state-of-the-art facilities and equipment. “Congratulations to the 2015 Corporate Citizen of the Year–Northwood Industries,” announced the commissioner. Accepting the award for Northwood Industries was Kurt Miller, company president. “On behalf of our company, we are humbled and honored to receive this recognition from Wood County where we were founded 47 years ago,” said The Wood County Economic Development Commission 2015 Corporate Citizen of the Year award was presented to Northwood Industries of Perrysburg Township. From left, are Wood County commissioners Jim Carter and Doris Herringshaw; Northwood Industries president Kurt Miller and his wife Laura Miller of Perrysburg, and Commissioner Joel Kuhlman. Mr. Miller. “Northwood Industries was started by my dad, Jim Miller. And when dad initially started the business, he really didn’t have a vision for the company. His motivation, however, was to figure out how he could work a second job and stay close to home at night.” The founder received his first order from Owens Illinois to build wooden crates for transporting large glass panels. “Dad won that order for two reasons,” Mr. Miller told those attending. “The first was that he had space to build them. And the second reason is that he actually had a pickup truck that could haul the crate to where they needed to be at the end of the job. “So dad learned a couple things on that first order. One was that there were always people willing to help someone with some ambition. And the other was, while getting the sale is vital, the job is really not complete until it is delivered. “Dad had a passion to help engineers make their ideas work. He coupled that passion with his natural mechanical aptitude and the machining skills he learned while working for his fatherin-law in a machine shop. “The vision of the company evolved into helping engineers develop their ideas into working prototypes and delivering those in a short period of time.” His father built an 800square-foot garage in the backyard of the family home to house his shop. He worked part-time–evenings, weekends and holidays. “Dad’s office was in the basement of the house, mom prepared invoices and paid bills from a converted family room,” recalled the son. “And when we did have business meetings, they usually were held at the kitchen table and just to save time, they were normally done over dinner.” The Millers’ son and daughter worked in the shop on weekends and during school breaks. “We would clean machines, sweep floors, count parts and we would even run machines that dad had set up so that we could safely operate them,” the son recalled. “Dad always had something for us to do.” In 1986, Mr. Miller decided to go full time with his business and was joined by his son the same year after graduating from the University of Toledo. The father purchased a steel warehouse in north Toledo, and the company expanded to nine employees. And with continued growth, almost 10 years later, the company purchased property in the Cedar Business Center on State Route 795 in Perrysburg Township. “Just like the lesson he learned on his first sale, dad found there were always people willing to help,” said the son. “Some of that help came from the guidance of Tom Blaha [WCEDC past executive director] who helped secure a tax abatement on the facility. The other came from a gentleman named Dick Kelsey from Rudolph Libby. Dick helped turn our project into a reality.” Northwood Industries’ new home was completed in 1999. Then in 2013, the company expanded its facility doubling its size to 23,000-square-feet. “After running the business for 34 years, dad retired,” said the son. “Today, my wife Laura and I operate the business together with our 25 employees. We also are happy to have our nephew represent the third generation of our business. “In the early days, we were considered a machine shop or contract job shop. As business grew and our capabilities expanded, we have grown to become a Please turn to page 2➧ Penta Career Center Superintendent Ron Matter featured speaker at Wood County Economic Development Commission annual dinner–‘Good Jobs in Wood County’ By Deb Buker “Good jobs right here in Wood County. Let me say that again–Good jobs right here in Wood County,” said Ron Matter, Penta Career Center superintendent. “That could be a statement, a goal or even a question that everyone would be very interested in or very much in support of.” Speaking to more than 500 people at the Wood County Economic Development Commission’s (WCEDC) annual dinner, Mr. Matter stated that good jobs are a critical issue for the Wood County commissioners and an important driving force for all local city, village and township leaders as well as their business counterparts. “And I know that at Penta Career Center, good jobs is something that has always been of great interest and importance to us,” he added. “We’ve had the privilege for 50 years to be an integral part of that ongoing conversation about workforce development and good jobs in Wood County and across this region, both at the high school and adult training levels.” The superintendent read a statement from Alan Loofbourrow, vice president of Chrysler Power Train, that he made in May 1966 at a workforce conference–one day after the dedication of Penta County Joint Vocational School. “Considering this nationwide shortage of trained manpower, it stands to reason that the parts of our country which do the best job of educating and training young people are going to have the most success in attracting new industry. The Penta County Joint Vocational School–which some of you helped dedicate yesterday–was one of the deciding factors in our decision to locate our new machining plant in the Toledo area. “I can tell you from experience that it is a lot easier to find bricks and mortar today than it is to find the people to man the machines in a complex industrial plant. Wherever an expanding company can find the people it needs, it will bring the bricks, mortar and machines.” That statement was made 50 years ago, said the superintendent. “If you did not know the context, it could just have easily been made in recent days or months here in Ohio or anywhere across the country,” he added. “You see this challenge about good jobs and workforce development is not just limited to Wood County, northwest Ohio or the state of Ohio. It is a nationwide challenge that we all have been trying to figure out and get the competitive advantage on each other as states, as regions, as counties and communities. “And those regions who figure this out to gain that competitive advantage will be the economic development winners–those who can create and develop a comprehensive plan to train and attract a workforce to retain and add jobs; those who can engage a broad Ron Matter, superintendent of Penta Career Center, was the featured speaker at the annual dinner. base of the community to have this discussion and generate the ideas and needed change–that is who will see success.” The superintendent believes that conversation about education and training during and after high school needs to change. “For too many young people, the only message they hear in the media, from their peers, from their parents, from their counselors and teachers, is that fouryear degree is the only path to success,” he said. “At Penta and in Wood County, we know that belief could not be further from the truth.” The ratio of jobs in the economy is 1:2:7–which has remained constant for more than 60 years. “For every one occupation requiring a master ’s degree or more, there are two professional jobs that require a four-year college degree and seven jobs that require a one-year certificate or two-year degree. And these are the highly skilled jobs that are in great demand today,” he said. “This ratio is fundamental in all industries. It was the same in 1950, the same in 1990 and will be the same in 2030. Well-intentioned efforts to push high school graduates straight to a four- year university will not change the types of jobs that continue to dominate our economy. “I share in the belief of all Ohioans that we want our high school and adult students to be college and career ready. The challenge is providing well-planned pathways for these individuals, taking advantage of training opportunities at the appropriate career centers, Ohio technical centers, community colleges and four year institutions here in Ohio.” Two years ago a Good Jobs committee was formed in collaboration with the county commissioners, WCEDC, Ohio Means Jobs, Wood County, City of Bowling Green economic development, numerous business leaders, labor unions and contractor associations, Owens Community College, Bowling Green State University and Penta. “We have been meeting on and off for about two years trying to move the needle on this paradigm shift for Wood County,” said the superintendent. “It is a slow process, but one that all of us need to be engaged in because other counties in this region and across the state and country are having the same conversations trying to make that same paradigm shift in workforce training.” There is a supply and demand problem–plenty of demand from employers for high school and adult learners but students are in short supply, he said.

Ron Matter featured speaker ➧Continued from page 1 “Our enrollments have room to grow and those who take advantage of this training are experiencing success in school-to-work job placements at area firms such as Superior Wire, Radocy Inc., Whelco Industrial, Keimle Hankins, Jerl Machine, IMCO Carbide and more. We are always looking for additional partners for student placements. “These students also are experiencing success in regional, state and national competitions to demonstrate their skills with numerous gold, silver and bronze medalists in these competitions. They also are going on to apprenticeship opportunities with Iron Workers, the Boilermakers and the Pipefitters.” Next year, Penta Career Center will add robotics and advanced manufacturing technology to its programming. The career center will offer industry certifications to high school and adult students in the following areas–FANUC robotics, pendants and CNC; Yaskawa Motoman robotics and welding; industrial maintenance training with programmable logic controllers, and industrial maintenance training with fluid power in hydraulics and pneumatics. Mr. Matter also noted that the WCEDC executive committee has committed to Penta Career Center an investment of $30,000 over the next three years for scholarship opportunities for Wood County adults to access the manufacturing training programs at Penta to help meet the workforce needs of manufacturers in the county. In concluding, the superintendent read the following quote: “We must find jobs and employment for our young people who are entering the labor market. This is a duty for every elected Democrat and every elected U.S.P.S. #428-380 PERRYSBURG MESSENGER JOURNAL Republican. We must create a climate for business and industry to remain here and to come here. This is our finest hour in higher and secondary education in our state–technical and vocational education must reach everybody in the state, and Penta County is blazing the trail to reach this goal.” Mr. Matter told the group that this was from remarks made by former Governor James Rhodes, on May 15, 1966, at the dedication ceremony for Penta County Joint Vocational School District upon completion of the first year of operation of Penta and Penta Technical College, or what is known today as Owens Community College. “This quote from almost 50 years ago is just as relevant today as it was back then and it could have been made by Governor Kasich or any elected official in Ohio today,” concluded the superintendent.

As of March 5, all of the Otterbein locations in Perrysburg, Springboro, Lebanon, Cridersville, North Shore, Portage Valley, St. Marys, Maineville, Middletown, New Albany, and Monclova have completed the Music and Memory certification training and will be introducing the program to their communities in the near future. Music and Memory is a non-profit organization that brings personalized music to older persons through digital music technology in order to improve the quality of life. The organization trains nursing home staff and other industry professionals how to create and provide personalized playlists for residents using iPods. The program allows those struggling with Alzheimer’s, dementia and other cognitive and physical challenges to reconnect with the world through music-triggered memories. The group’s goal is to create a network of Music and Memory certified elder care facilities, and make this form of personalized therapy a standard of care throughout the health care industry. Otterbein is looking forward to becoming one of these partners. “It is thrilling to experience the excitement that Music and Memory creates. Everyone knows someone who can benefit, and the impact on each individual is powerful,” said Donna Coleman, director of charitable gift planning for Otterbein and member of their Music and Memory implementation team. “Board members, residents, family members, employee partners, contributors and volunteers are jumping on board. It’s great to be involved in the launch of this program.” Card Catalog at Way to host scavenger hunt, April 18 Way Library’s Card Catalog series aimed at 20 to 40somethings, continues with a Perrysburg photo scavenger on Saturday, April 18, at 2 p.m. Participate in a team of up to four people (the library will form teams) and take pictures of the items on the list.

Page 4 —April 1, 2015 — PERRYSBURG MESSENGER JOURNAL It’s on the Lecture to discuss importance of advance directives Hospice of Northwest Ohio and the Advance Care Planning Coalition of Greater Toledo will host an evening with respected 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-of-Life Care,” Dr. Volandes makes the case that the most important tool in medicine is, in fact, the conversation be- tween the physician and patient. He contends that if doctors explain 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 individuals 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 nonprofit foundation implementing systems and technologies to improve the quality of care delivered to patients in the healthcare system. Advance registration is required for the lecture by calling 419-931-5190 or online at www.hospicenwo.org. Light refreshments will be provided. A free Non Profits Matter event will be held Saturday, April 18, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., at Lighthouse Landing Hall, 4441 North Summit Street.

Perrysburg City Police Report Perrysburg Municipal Court $PNF4BJM8JUI.F 4198742877 :HVW,QGLHV+LGHDZD\ 7PZBHF To the residents of Perrysburg: It’s that time of year again, when I beg and plead with you to not buy ducklings to put in your children’s Easter baskets. For those who haven’t read my annual letter, the ducklings that you see at feed stores are not wild Mallards, which are protected by Federal law and are illegal to sell. Those ducklings are flightless domestic ducks who are meant to live on farms and be taken care of by humans. They do not migrate, and they do not know how to care for themselves in the wild. If you dump them at local ponds thinking that they will be all right, you are wrong. Eventually, they will either starve to death or be eaten by area predators. The same goes for those school projects in which you are asked to adopt the duckling after the class is finished with it: they cannot fly and are entirely dependent on humans for their survival. Unless you are prepared to take care of that duck for the next 10 years, please don't buy or adopt it. Instead, give your kids what they really want for Easter: candy and lots of it.

Seaman Cameron Tafelski is a boatswain’s mate and a member of Crew 101, the “Raptors,” who serves aboard the Freedom variant of littoral combat ships based in San Diego. Seaman Tafelski is part of a 53-person crew, one of several crews that rotate between USS Freedom (LCS 1) and USS Fort Worth (LCS 3), which use a crewing concept called “3-2-1.” Three crews serve aboard two different littoral combat ships, one of which is deployed. This allows the LCS to spend more time forward deployed without overtaxing the crew.

The church is located at 200 East Second Street. A dessert reception will follow. The musicians who will perform are Bowling Green State University faculty and students under the direction of Xavier Saurez, director of music at the church. Among the singers will be BGSU seniors Alexandria Schmidt, soprano, and Lara Harrison, mezzo-soprano. Musicians include BGSU faculty members Nermis Mieses, oboe, Susan Nelson, bassoon, and Andrew Pelletier, horn, and BGSU master’s student Garret Tanner, saxophone. Also to perform will be the Madrigals from Bowling Green High School, an acapella choir who is the school’s top selected choir. The Daughter Project is an organization established to help survivors recover from the trauma of street trafficking and to prevent and protect others from being trafficked.

Twin gas-turbine engines push the ship through the water at more than 40 knots. “The Navy has taught me to take on more responsibility and how to be a team player,” training, he had to qualify on a simulator that is nearly identical to the ship. “I have learned to perform major procedures at a fast pace, which makes the program even more exciting,” he said. “The Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) is designed to provide war fighting capabilities and operational flexibility that contribute to maritime dominance and provide improved access for the joint force,” said Capt. Warren Buller II, commodore of LCS Squadron One, based in San Diego. “The ship requires the addition of a mission package comprised of the primary mission module plus the mission module crew and aviation detachment to conduct its primary missions. The sailors assigned to them epitomize the ‘can do’ spirit of LCS.” Seaman Tafelski said it is an exciting time to be in the Navy, but that it’s not an easy path to take. “I love being out to sea. It is an exciting part of my job that I wish more people could witness,” he said.

PERRYSBURG MESSENGER JOURNAL — April 1, 2015 — Page 5 ‘The Other Line is Moving Faster’ exhibit opens at River House Arts Wed., April 18 River House Arts in downtown Perrysburg will present “the other line is moving faster,” an exhibition featuring works on paper and in glass. The show runs April 18 through May 23. Artists included in the exhibit are Jean Foos, Jeff Mack and Michael Ottersen. Ms. Foos moved to New York City’s East Village from her hometown of Greece, New York, to attend Cooper Union, where she received her bachelor of fine arts degree in 1976. Following a fellowship at the Rome-based program of Tyler School of Art (Temple University) and a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts, she intensified her pursuit of illusions of three-dimensional motion and interacting planes. Inspired by her years of graphic production at Vanity Fair, she has also created installations of fashion images altered with her skeins of interwoven depths. Mr. Mack is an award winning glass artist and manager of the glass studio at the Toledo Museum of Art’s Glass Pavilion. He has worked in glass for nearly 20 years in contexts including master glass blower, factory stem maker, artist’s assistant, gaffer and fabricator for artists. He has keen interest in historic glass-making techniques and has devoted much of his study and work in glass to this topic. He is the recipient of more than a dozen prestigious fellowships and residencies. A graduate of Bowling Green State University, he continues to teach extensively and demonstrate internationally. Mr. Ottersen has exhibited in New York, Zurich, Albuquerque, Seattle, and at the Bellevue (WA) Art Museum. His work has gained mention in several publications. He currently balances his studio practice with his teaching schedule at three Seattle area arts institutions. His bachelor of fine arts degree was earned at Tyler School of Art (Temple University), and he studied in Rome concurrently with Jean Foos–also establishing himself in New York’s East Village and exhibiting at Gracie Mansion Gallery, Alexander Milliken, and Feature Inc. His practice of drawing was manifest in an earlier style of figural work–impasto oil on panel or canvas that extended the style of 16th-century Mannerism into bodily contortions.

Drawn from texts of the 13th century and the 1800s, this service commemorates the suffering and death of Christ, as depicted by the ancient Tenebrae. Choral meditations based on the Seven Words from the Cross accompany the Bibli- cal text. At the end of each meditation, a candle is extinguished to portray the fading light of the world as Christ is leaving it. The glow from the Christ Candle remains to indicate that death only seems to triumph over Christ, and points toward the coming resurrection. Featured in the service are organist Nancy Russell, oboist Ed Bloedow, and lector Gordon Ward. The choirs are under the direction of Annelle Donaldson. •PATRICIA ISAACS Patricia Jenese Isaacs, age 64, of Toledo, passed away on Tuesday, March 10, 2015, surrounded by her family and friends. She was born on January 3, 1951, in Cincinnati, Ohio, to Thornton “Bud” Bowman and Beverly Ann Harrison. Patricia, or Patty to her friends, was a mother, grandmother, wife, sister, aunt, nurse, soldier, and most importantly a friend. Graduating from PHS in 1969, she completed her nursing studies in Toledo, and started a family. A natural healer and caretaker, she fulfilled a long career in the medical field which included serving as an officer in the Army Medical Corps, managing a dialysis unit, and obtaining specialties in cardiology and nephrology. Always a voice for her pa- tients, she truly loved her career. The impact she left on her patients’ lives stayed with them long after their sickness was cured. Estimating the amount of people she provided care for would be impossible. A voracious reader, Patty also engaged her creative side with practiced skills in cooking and knitting. Her greatest passion, however, were her friends and family, whom she held higher than anything. Left weary after a prolonged illness, she moved on from this life, stoically on her own terms. She is survived by her sons, Ivan (Kristi) Szilak and Alex (Alaina) Szilak; grandson, Sam; brother, Geoffrey (Susan) Bowman; sister, Deborah (Jay) Richmond; lifelong friends, John and Patti Gallagher. Patricia was preceded in death by her parents. A memorial service will be held at the Maison-Dardenne-Walker Funeral Home, 501 Conant Street, Maumee, on April 4, 2015 at 10 a.m. Memorial contributions may be made to Hospice of Northwest Ohio, 30000 East River Road, Perrysburg, Ohio 43551. Online condolences may be shared with the family at walker funeralhomes.com.

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. The fiber577 exhibition continues its mission to bring the most relevant regional and national artists working in fiber and fiber-related 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. This year’s show will feature a solo exhibit of the unique works of Cindy Steiler. Ms. Steiler has just returned from Portugal where she was the Artist in Residence at Contextile 2014Contemporary Textile Art Biennial. Her work has been displayed in numerous solo and group exhibits around the country, as well as featured in publications ranging from Lucky magazine to Sew Somerset. “I draw with thread,” explained Ms. Steiler. “It is a slow and meditative way to express myself. It is very tactile. Embroidery has a long WWW.PERRYSBURG.COM history, and placing myself into that continuum gives me a feeling of comfort. “Making art gives me a voice to communicate thoughts I can’t put into words–the complexity of love and relationships, death and dying, disappearing. It allows me to tell my story.” fiber577 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 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 Embroidery work created by artist Cindy Steiler, from her “forgotten series.” 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.

With a new time schedule, the 2015 Relay will be held at the Commodore Schoolyard, corner of Louisiana and Indiana avenues, on Saturday, June 6, from noon to midnight. “We are very excited with the new timeframe,” said Brian Gibson, ACS Relay specialist. “We are incorporating all of our Relay traditions–opening ceremony, walking laps, honoring survivors and luminaria ceremony–and planning a fun, family-friendly 12-hour event. We want this to be a rebirth of Relay.” Relay for Life gives everyone an opportunity to fight cancer and help save more lives. Teams of family members, friends and/or coworkers set up camp and take turns walking around a track or path. Because cancer never sleeps, each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. The 2015 Relay will be in memory of John Welch, general manager and publisher of the Perrysburg Messenger Journal, who lost his battle with lung cancer 19 months ago. Mr. Welch was always a supporter of the American Cancer Society and its fund-raising efforts in finding a cure. The Relay committee includes Adrian Sausman, Michele Youngdale, Rickey Rudey, Traci Morgan, Tiffany Brown, Amy Pett, Terry Steward, Michele Kipplen, Marcie Estep, Dawn Smith, Brad Thomas, Angie McLaughlin, Margo Leininger and Amy Chafins. The 2020 Dreamers Relay for Life team and O~Deer Diner have joined forces for a cupcake fund-raiser. Stop at O~Deer Diner and donate a $1 to Relay and receive a paper cupcake to write an individual’s name on it. It will then be displayed at the diner. Also, receive 50 cents off an order at the diner. The committee’s goal is to raise $45,000 with 14 teams participating in the 12-hour event. Over the past 17 years, the area Relay has raised more than $940,000. Sixty percent of the money stays in Wood County to assist cancer patients. It also is used for prevention, early detection and programming. The remaining 40 percent goes toward cancer research. The theme for the Perrysburg Area Relay is “Carnival for a Cure.” “We are planning carnival games, face painting, carnival food and carnivalthemed laps and entertainment,” said Mr. Gibson. “It truly will be a family friendly event.” For additional information, call Mr. Gibson at 1888-227-6446, extension 5205, or send an email to [email protected]. 2020 Dreamers...Dreaming for a Cure The owner of O~Deer Diner, Rick Ruffner, received the following letter from a junior high school Relay for Life team. The letter tells a wonderful story of why people join the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life. “I am writing you on behalf of the 2020 Dreamers. I have been going to the ACS Relay for Life for as long as I can remember because my life, just like so many others, has been impacted by cancer. “If you didn’t know, the ACS stands for the American Cancer Society. They raise money for cancer research and treatment as well as supporting those fighting the disease. Most importantly, they give hope. “This year, I decided to create a team. We are a group of 40+ kids from the class of 2020 at Perrysburg Junior High School. We are a very diverse group, but the one thing we have in common, is that we have all loved or lost someone to cancer. “We call ourselves the 2020 Dreamers...Dreaming for a Cure. “I’m writing this letter to ask if you business would be willing to assist in our fundraising efforts. There would be no cost to you. All you would have to do is ask your customers if they would like to donate $1 to the Relay. We would provide you with sponsorship cupcakes to be hung in your store. We would be willing to come and hang them for you if necessary. “Thank you for your participation.” Beginning this week, anyone who makes a $1 donation for a sponsorship cupcake [signs] will receive 50 cents off a purchase at O~Deer Diner. “I am very pleased to be able to help the 2020 Dreamers in their fund-raising efforts for Relay,” said Mr. Ruffner. “Because they are working so hard, I decided to offer an additional incentive–50 cents off a purchase at the diner with a dollar donation. Stop over and support Relay for Life.” den Smiles, Kingston Health Care, Natural Fiber & Yarn, Principle Business Enterprises, Taylor Cadillac, the Andersons, Toledo City Paper, Welch Publishing and WGTE.

Oak Bend Church to offer Freed-Up Financial Living class Oak Bend Church, 11275 Eckel Junction Road, Perrysburg, will offer a Freed-Up Financial Living course. Participants will explore what the Bible and the culture say about the five financial areas of life–earning, giving, saving, debt and spending. They are then coached on how to implement biblical principles into their daily financial lives through a personal spending plan. This is done in a grace-filled manner, with no guilt or judgment allowed. Two sessions will be offered: Saturday, May 2, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., or Tuesday and Wednesday, May 5-6, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. The cost for the workbook is $20. To register, call the church office at 419874-0219 by April 9.

Dry and wet dog and cat food can be dropped off at Humane Ohio (3131Tremainsville) from 7:30 am - 5 pm Monday through Friday. We are a non-profit organization. tXXXIVNBOFPIJPPSH XXXGBDFCPPLDPNIVNBOFPIJP Wood County Humane Society’s PETS OF THE WEEK Have you been looking for love in all the wrong places? Then, look no further because Kalista is your gal. Kalista loves to be loved. She is very sweet-tempered. She is outgoing (though she does not like to play). She loves to cuddle with humans and other felines. In fact, she adores other cats. She enjoys being held. She likes to be petted, to have her ears scratched and her belly rubbed. This girl just all around loves to give and receive affection. Oh, and she enjoys good food, too. Do you have some affection to spare? Then Kalista might just be the feline of your dreams! Miley is pretty much the quintessential Jack Russell terrier. This 7-ish-year-old is very energetic and loves to play, so she would be best suited for a forever home that can provide her with lots of stimulation and exercise. (If you’ve done your homework on Jack Russells, then you know that if they aren’t provided the necessary stimulation and exercise, they can become moody and sometimes even a bit destructive.) Miley also can be something of diva—but in an adorable way. She would definitely prefer to be the only child (animal or human) in the household. In fact, Miley’s ideal match would probably be a recently retired individual or couple with lots of newly free time to devote exclusively to this intelligent, athletic, fearless, and tenacious little sweetheart. *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.

Check us out on the web: www.perrysburg.com Question: I’m thinking of buying a home, and my friend says a house purchase is a “buyer beware” situation. What does that mean? Answer: “Buyer beware,” also known as the doctrine of “caveat emptor,” is an ageold doctrine. It means that, if you intend to buy property, you generally bear the responsibility for finding out about the property’s condition before purchasing it. This doctrine appears to place the entire risk on the shoulders of the homebuyer, but only does so if 1) the condition of the property is open to observation or discoverable upon reasonable inspection to the buyer; 2) the buyer had the opportunity to examine the property; and 3) there is no fraud or wrongdoing on the part of the seller. Question: What do I, as a buyer, have to do about a defect that may be found during a home inspection? Answer: A defect that is open, observable and can be discovered through inspection and inquiry is called a “patent defect.” You, as a buyer, are responsible for making efforts to obtain all information about such obvious defects or problems with the property. Also, you will be held responsible and liable for all defects that you could have discovered upon inspection, so make sure you make reasonable efforts to view and inspect the property before buying it. For example, you may notice such “patent” obvious defects as large cracks in the concrete foundation of the home, a hole in the roof or rotten wood on the home’s front porch. If you decide to buy the home in spite of these obvious defects, you could not later seek damages or a remedy against the seller for the costs of repairing them. The burden is on you to notice these issues before buying the property. Question: What about defects that are not obvious? Answer: The home may have “latent,” defects that are known to the seller, but cannot be easily discovered by the buyer or may present a dangerous condition. They are hidden in nature. As an exception to the doctrine of the caveat emptor/buyer beware doctrine, sellers must disclose latent defects to the buyer. This requirement provides protection for the innocent buyer. Latent defects are more complex than patent defects. For example, if a leaking roof can only be noticed when it rains, and an inspection shows no evidence of water damage, this would be a latent defect. Similarly, if a septic tank produces a bad smell occasionally, this would not be a readily observable problem. In such instances the burden falls on the seller. If the seller fails to disclose such issues, the buyer can seek a remedy, if necessary, in court. It is very important to retain a licensed property inspector to inspect the property before purchase, and make the purchase agreement contingent upon the property passing inspection. An inspector has the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary to thoroughly evaluate the property and notice issues you may never discover until it is too late. A seller is also liable for fraud or misrepresentations to the buyer. For instance, a seller cannot lie and tell the buyer the foundation is in great condition if the seller knows it is in need of repair or in danger of collapsing. Similarly, a seller cannot tell a buyer a roof has never had any leaks if the seller has replaced the ceiling’s drywall and paint to conceal the fact that the roof leaks every time there’s a severe storm. Question: What is an “as-is” clause? Answer: In certain circumstances, a seller does not have to disclose latent defects. If a real estate agreement contains an “as-is” clause, then the buyer assumes the risk that latent defects may exist. An “as is” clause relieves the seller of any duty to disclose, and means that the buyer cannot bring a lawsuit against the seller for any passive nondisclosure. For example, in Ferguson v. Cadle, 2009-Ohio-4285, the court held that sellers had no liability under an “as is” home sale contract for failing to disclose the existence of a steel support structure that was installed in a basement wall after the wall had sustained water damage.

Club members have donated their time, talents and treasures in an effort to support a variety of local and international causes. Now, the club has extended their commitment of service to involve high school students. This past fall, the Perrysburg Rotary Club helped establish an Interact Club at Perrysburg High School. Interact is a club for high school students who want to service projects a year: one that benefits their community and one that encourages international understanding. While Interact clubs receive guidance from individual Rotary clubs, they govern and support themselves. “This is a wonderful opportunity for these students to carry out hands-on service projects at their school and in the community,” says Hallie Nagel, Perrysburg Rotarian and one of several Rotarians who were instrumental in establishing the Interact Club. The others are Cindy Zajac, Kerri Adams, Perrysburg Rotary Interact Club is off and running join together to tackle the issues in their community that they care most about. The club was officially given a charter by Rotary International in the fall, and club officers were installed on December 16. There are more than 50 Perrysburg High School students in the club who meet twice a month to plan service projects. The goal of the Interact Club is for members to have fun while carrying out service projects and learning about the world.

The PHS Interact Club’s first service project was to assist at the Perrysburg Rotary Club’s annual charity auction this past February. Club members assisted guests with check in, logging into the mobile bidding system, as well as check out. Their second project came soon after the Rotary auction, when they created Valentine’s Day cards and cookies and delivered them to residents at Kingston Residence of Perrysburg. Another example of the Interact Club’s community involvement is the upcoming Interact Kids Against Hunger Service Project that will be held on April 11, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Gateway Middle School in Maumee. This is a collaborative effort between the Perrysburg Interact Club, Perrysburg Key Club, Maumee Interact Club, Anthony Wayne Interact Club, and Eastwood Key Club. The clubs, in conjunction with ISOH Impact, plan to collect food for hungry children through their “Food Build.” “These students are giving back to their communities and serve as an inspiration to other students,” said Ms. Nagel. “Hopefully, we can continue to grow the club’s membership to involve even more students.” Rotary International brings together a global network of volunteer leaders dedicated to tackling the world’s most pressing humanitarian challenges. Rotary connects 1.2 million members of more than 34,000 Rotary clubs in over 200 countries and geographical areas. Their work impacts lives at both the local and international levels, from helping families in need in their own communities to working toward a polio-free world. The Rotary Club of Perrysburg has approximately 125 members. For more information, visit www.perrysburg rotary.org. Imagination Station in Toledo is hosting “Guitar: The Instrument That Rocked The World” through May 17. 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 evolution, engineering and design of the guitar, and the guitar’s cultural impact. “The science of sound is a rich area for scientific discovery. 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 nearconstant 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 Above: Part of the Guitar exhibit at Imagination Station. Below: A see-through guitar. 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 man-made 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. 7 a.m. - 3 p.m. • Catering Available GRAND OPENING! 7250 State Route 795 Walbridge, OH Phone (419) 661-8500 SERVING BREAKFAST AND LUNCH!
