Many property owners have complained about the route running diagonally through their land, preventing future development. The pipeline–to be buried four feet underground– requires a 75-foot easement during construction and a 50-foot wide permanent easement thereafter. The centerline is less than 100 feet from 46 Please turn to page 2➧ Several residents opposed to an underground pipeline planned to run through their Perrysburg Township properties are now facing lawsuits from the pipeline company. North Coast Gas Transmission of Columbus filed a lawsuit February 27 against Paul Swartz, Miriam Berger and Raymond Swartz of Perrysburg, plus Connie Zitlow of Powell, Ohio, over their land on Oregon Road. Another lawsuit was filed by the company March 31 against Scott and Mary Rogers concerning their property on Neiderhouse Road. North Coast has proposed a 24-inch pipeline to transport natural gas from Maumee to the new Oregon Clean Energy Center power plant to be built on North Lallendorf Road, Oregon.

Written by Richard Baranowski, Way Public Library local history librarian, the book consists of 50 personal interviews conducted over the past few years and transposed to print form. The 204-page book also includes 175 photographs of local historical scenes and the people who shared their stories. “I am tickled to get these stories out,” Mr. Baranowski said. “And so are some of the people in the book. “I’ve been interviewing people for many years. There’s a wonderful crosssection of local color in the book, such as old-time business owners, attorneys, farmers, physicians, educators and several village workers.

Pipeline hearing on Monday The Ohio Power Siting Board (OPSB) was scheduled to meet Monday, April 6, at 3:30 p.m. for a public hearing on a request by local residents for a full review of the Oregon Lateral pipeline process. The board’s decision was not made before press time on Monday.

The project is not connected to the Columbia Gas pipeline project on West River Road nor the utility company’s gas line replacement project beginning in Perrysburg this year. The path runs through the City of Perrysburg’s River- Book celebrating Perrysburg Bicentennial soon to be released According to Theresa Pollick, Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) public information officer, funding is secure for the first diverging diamond interchange (DDI) in northwest Ohio–I-475/State Route 25. Construction is expected to begin in the summer of 2016. The estimated cost of the project is $8.75 million. The City of Perrysburg obtained a $3.4 million federal grant through the Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments (TMACOG) with ODOT paying for a 20 percent match, $800,000. ODOT also is providing $4.5 million in safety funds. Ms. Pollick said that SR 25 over I-475 has become heavily congested, especially during the evening rush hours. “New development along Eckel Junction Road will only increase the amount of traffic using the interchange,” she added. Studies have shown that a diverging diamond interchange reduces crashes between 19 and 46 percent due to the lessening of conflict points from 26 in a conventional interchange to 14 in a DDI. Only one other diamond exists in Ohio–on Roberts Road over I-270 in Columbus. And currently there are only 19 in the United States. Perrysburg City Council approved a resolution supporting the use of this type of interchange in early 2013. To view a video on how a DDI works, visit www.youtube.com/watch?v=HD-0QnUILOQ. Road repairs, construction subject of Twp. trustees meeting By Jane Maiolo In conjunction with the spring road construction season, the Perrysburg Township trustees discussed the repair of Hull Prairie Road, connection of Carronade Drive to State Route 199 and the Lime City/Buck roads intersections. At the April 1 meeting, the trustees reviewed several options for repairing Hull Prairie, which was damaged by an ice flow along the Maumee River last month. The trustees admitted to being “pleasantly surprised” by the repair costs which range from $12,150 to $32,450, depending on which option is selected. Trustee Gary Britten believes the first option at $32,450 will provide the best repair. “We’re better off going with option one. We’ve got to fix it right,” he said. That involves reconstructing the washed out area, removing the asphalt grindings, adding an aggregate base, asphalt concrete and a coat. The trustees agreed to obtain quotes on the first option. Connecting Carronade Drive to Route 199 also was discussed. With plans for a roundabout at the intersection in the future, the trustees said connection of the Carronade extension to Route 199 needs to move forward. A total of $50,000 was set aside previously for the connection, and the trustees agreed to provide up to $200,000 toward the project, which is estimated at $1 million for the connection and subsequent roundabout. “Our goal is to get a grant awarded,” said Trustee Bob Mack, suggesting they work with Mike Stormer of ODOT on a grant application. With plans under way for improvements to the Buck and Lime City intersection, the trustees agreed to commit up to $300,000 for the project, the township’s allocation. Mr. Mack noted that Rossford, Wood County and Penta Career Center officials are in agreement with the $2.64 million project which involves construction of a roundabout. “Everybody is comfortable with their local share of the cost. It seems like everybody’s on board,” he added. Zoning Applications The trustees unanimously approved two zoning change requests for parcels at 96777 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. “This brings the zoning in line with others in the area,” said Trustee Craig LaHote. Mr. Mack questioned whether the applicant understood that the acreage is subject to the overlay zone. Zoning inspector/ administrator Kelly Hemminger confirmed that the company is aware of the overlay. 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. The company requested to rezone the 4.82 acres from C-2 community business to I-2 general industrial, and the owners plan to operate a general contracting business at the site. Mr. Mack, pointing out that the surrounding property is surrounded by industrial, said, “I actually thought it was zoned industrial.” The trustees asked if the township zoning commission and the Wood County Planning Commission supported the two zoning changes. Mrs. Hemminger said the two commissions recommended unanimously that both be approved. Other Business In other business, the trustees: •Approved an automatic aid agreement with the City of Maumee for servicing accidents along the Ohio Turnpike between Exit 64 in the township and Exit 59 in Maumee. Fire Chief Tom Brice said the widening of the turnpike to three lanes in both directions has left insufficient room for emergency vehicles to turn around at designated crossovers. He said turnpike officials are requesting emergency vehicles enter only at approved exits, and noted that an emergency responder was involved in an accident in Cleveland a few years ago, when the vehicle was T-boned while attempting to turnaround at a median crossover point. As part of the agreement with Maumee, the township will respond to incidents occurring in the westbound lanes, and Maumee will answer eastbound calls. •Authorized the disposal of obsolete and unused township property through Internet auction. Items to be sold at auction include computer servers and a switch. •Approved the purchase of medical supplies for the fire/EMS department at a cost of $10,000. •Reconciled the SWAT account, distributing $7,000 to participating agencies. Due to budget constraints, the township police department withdrew from SWAT this year. •Heard from recreation director Bob Warnimont that the township received a grant of $9,000 for installation of safety barriers at the Perrysburg Heights playground. The work is to begin this spring. •Learned that a lawsuit filed against the township by Shavell Johnson, following Mr. Johnson’s arrest, was dismissed by the U.S. District Court of Northern Ohio. •Announced that the police department received $3,275 for a 2008 Pontiac, sold at ABC Auto Auction. •Passed a resolution of 2015 appropriations totalling $11.22 million. •Heard from Mr. Britten that the trustees seriously discuss renovating or constructing a new township hall. He noted that the building has a series of prob- lems and requested a list of repairs from maintenance supervisor Kraig Gottfried. “I’ve got a list,” responded Mr. Gottfried, adding that the sanitary sewer line tops the list, due to deterioration. •Agreed to allow a representative of Costco visit with employees to discuss membership. The next trustees meeting will be at 6 p.m., Wednesday, April 15, at the township meeting hall, 26609 Lime City Road, and is open to the public.

On Saturday, more than 60 volunteers amassed at Buttonwood to assist with clean-up efforts at the Wood County park situated on the banks of the Maumee River in Perrysburg Township. The park and Hull Prairie, the road leading to the park entrance, sustained heavy damage last month after ice broke upstream on the Maumee, sending enormous amounts of ice blocks cascading down the swift moving river. When it reached the area south of Fort Meigs, the river already overflowing its banks, scattered ice blocks throughout the floodplain. Neil Munger, director of the Wood County Park District, said people from several organizations came out to help including Friends of the Park District, the Native American Powwow and local soccer association. Perrysburg and Perrysburg Township residents also helped with restoration efforts. “We had a good cross section of volunteers,” said Mr. Munger, adding, “There are a lot of people here who care about their park.” Armed with shovels, rakes and wheelbarrows, volunteers donned work gloves and went to work, removing gravel, tree limbs and more from the soccer field site. Mr. Munger said the rushing river moved gravel from the parking lot to the soccer fields. The park director expressed his appreciation to Perrysburg Township maintenance employees for their work to reopen the end of Hull Prairie Road so volunteers could access the park. “I can’t say enough about how much I appreciate the work they did. They did a great job getting the road open.” Among Saturday’s volunteers was Bob Warnimont, township recreation director, who happened to be first to arrive at the park. Even though Buttonwood as a county park does not fall under his jurisdiction, he said, “It’s still my community and my park.” Above, volunteers pick up debris from the field. Below left, Dane Andrews shows his strength as he picks up a log and removes it from the grassy area. Bottom right, volunteers rake gravel from the northern end of the park. Page 2 — April 8, 2015 — PERRYSBURG MESSENGER JOURNAL Students explore their potential at Penta Career Center Pipeline company sues land owners along gas line route convenience and necessity,” the lawsuit states. In January and February, North Coast delivered a written “Notice of Intent to Acquire and Good Faith Offer” to each property owner, but the parties have been unable to agree upon just compensation based on the fair market value of the land. Those notices provided an offer of compensation and indicated that the property owners did not have to accept the agreement. It also warned that if the agreement was not accepted, the company could file suit to acquire the easements by eminent domain. The OPSB was scheduled to meet Monday and hear the appeal of residents who would like the state board to do a full review and slow down the pipeline process. Attorney Albin Bauer II, who is representing many of the affected residents, said they had hoped to hear a decision from OPSB before the process moved along. “It is frustrating that NCGT has initiated legal action against owners before the [OPSB] has made its final decision, particularly since NCGT has grossly failed to comply with the conditions of its certificate which require NCGT to work with the owners to adjust the pipeline location on properties to minimize effects on future use of the properties,” he stated in an email last week. State Representative Tim Brown and State Senator Randy Gardner were contacted about the lawsuits by the residents. Both said they would talk with OPSB and Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) officials on behalf of the residents. –Beth Church ➧Continued from page 1 Hive. Many people in the book are descendants of Perrysburg’s pioneer families and they tell how their ancestors made their way here. “And the photos, they are just tremendous–some as far back as 1850 or 1860. What these folks and others have shared puts history back into Perrysburg–and just in time to celebrate our Bicentennial.” The project was funded by donations–the largest a $10,000 grant from the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, Toledo’s Fort Industry Chapter. Members Beverly St. Clair and Chris Burkhart of the non-profit group helped write the application, said Mr. Baranowski. The City of Perrysburg and several civic groups including Historic Perrysburg Inc. and Country Garden Club also contributed. The Way Public Library Foundation facilitated the grant money and other donations, he added. One thousand copies will be printed and the book will sell for $25. Mr. Baranowski said complimentary copies will be given to families interviewed, donors and schools. Ian Dunn, City of Perrysburg software specialist, helped design the cover–a city map motif with a black and gold color scheme. The Perrysburg Messenger Journal is assisting in the publication of the book as well as coordinating details with the printing company. As Mr. Baranowski conducted the interviews during the past 10 years, he envisioned the present book as a highlight of the Bicentennial–complementing Ardath Danford’s book, “The Perrysburg Story” written for the 1966 Sesquicentennial. The previous book also had been a Way Library project, as she was director at the time. In a forward for the new book, written by Ms. Danford, before she died, she praised Mr. Baranowski’s publication for keeping local history efforts going. “I am indebted to many people,” Mr. Baranowski said. “I couldn’t have done this without their help, and all I can say is that we are going to have a great history book on Perrysburg.” Ellen Ennest and Jazmin Mills, Perrysburg High School juniors enrolled in digital video production at Penta, highlight careers in the field, including game design, animation and photography.

However, if asked, “What is Public health?” the average person may say something like “healthcare for low-income families.” Public health professionals focus on protecting the health of entire populations. The goal is to prevent disease and injury through population-based prevention programs. The Wood County Health District promotes healthy lifestyles through educational programs, developing policies, administering services, conducting research, monitoring community health status to identify community health problems and health hazards in the county and working with community partners to help solve community health problems. The health district also focus on controlling infectious disease, enforcing laws and regulations that protect health and ensure safety, reducing environmental hazards, violence, substance abuse and injury.

Vilified by some historians for his divided loyalties, he remains relatively unknown even though he is worthy of comparison with such famous frontiersmen as Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett. Wells married Chief Little Turtle’s daughter and distinguished himself as a Miami health is promoting healthcare equity, quality and accessibility. The Wood County Community Health and Wellness Center, part of the Wood County Health District, works toward that effort by offering comprehensive medical services for all, from prenatal care, to infants through seniors, including behavioral health, reproductive health, clinical pharmacy and dispensing pharmacy services.

Six to eight trains will be operating continuously on the ‘The Other Trail of Tears: The Removal of Ohio Indians’ St. Paul’s Lutheran Church hosting rummage sale topic of lecture at Fort Meigs on Thursday, April 16 Dr. Mary Stockwell, Earhart Foundation Fellow and Author, will present “The Other Trail of Tears: The Removal of Ohio Indians” on Thursday, April 16, at 7:30 p.m., in the Fort Meigs visitor center in Perrysburg. The presentation is free and open to the public. Doors open at 7 p.m. While most people have heard of the “Trail of Tears,” down which the Cherokee, along with the Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek and Seminole, were driven from their homes in Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi to reservations in present-day Oklahoma, few realize that this struggle was part of a wider story that reaches back across time to the closing months of the War of 1812, back through many states—most notably Ohio—and into the lives of so many tribes, including the Delaware, Seneca, Shawnee, Ottawa and Wyandot. They, too, departed down the “Other Trail of Tears” from their traditional homeland to reserves in Kansas and Oklahoma. Mary Stockwell’s book, The Other Trails of Tears (Westholme Publishing, 2015), chronicles the struggles of Ohio’s native tribes in the period leading up to their official removal from the state, and sheds light into how complex the removal process actually was. Looking back, the removal of Ohio’s tribes may seem inevitable today, but it never looked that way when people in Ohio in the early 19th century—both Indians and American citizens—looked toward the future. Mary Stockwell received her Ph.D. in American history from the University of Toledo and was a professor of history and department chair at Lourdes University. She is currently an Earhart Foundation Fellow at the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan, where she is researching her upcoming book on the life of Anthony Wayne. She is the author of history books used by young people throughout the United States including “The Ohio Adventure,” “A Journey through Maine” and “Massachusetts, Our Home,” the 2005 winner of the Gold Lamp Award from the Association of Educational Publishers for Best Book. The program is sponsored by the Anderton Bentley Fund in memory of Christopher Perky, who served at Fort Meigs during the War of 1812.

The EMV card–which stands for Europay, MasterCard and Visa–also is referred to as a chip card, smart card, chip-and-PIN or chipand-signature, The card contains an embedded, encrypted microprocessing chip, which provides “powerful security for payments,” Ms. Lanius said. Her company helps businesses establish a system to accept credit cards from customers. In the United States, she believes the chip-and-sign method will be used instead of chip-and-PIN. “We’re used to swiping the card and signing,” she said. The secure technology is used worldwide in credit, debit and pre-paid cards. “It’s virtually impossible to clone an EMV card,” Ms. Lanius added. There are three ways the chip cards can be used– through contact, contact-less and mobile. To make a purchase, the user inserts the card into a device (no longer “swiping” it along a slot), and then the transaction takes place. The device requires the user to enter a PIN or sign. The chip card generates a unique code for each transaction. The contact-less systems allow the card to merely be “tapped” against the device to begin the transaction. Through the mobile method, a bank can securely download a user’s EMV card onto a smart phone. The phone then is placed over top of a credit card terminal to initiate the transaction. “And with an iPhone, you’ll use your thumbprint,” she added. Ms. Lanius explained that the technology was invented in 1977, became popular in Europe from 2005-06 and then took hold in Canada by 2011. “We’re a little bit behind,” she acknowledged. Part of the difficulty in establishing EMV cards in the United States is the more than 10,000 major financial institutions in this nation. In comparison, there are about 5,000 in Canada. “With increased [security] breaches, there’s more of a fire lit, and we’re moving forward,” she said. The cost of credit card fraud totaled $11 billion last year, she added. Old credit/debit cards store data on a magnetic strip WWW.PERRYSBURG.COM Leah Lanius of Affinity Merchants Solutions, center, was the guest speaker at the chamber’s March luncheon meeting. With her are Perrysburg Township Trustee Bob Mack and Debbie Paul of First Energy, who are both chamber board members. that is swiped for the information to be transferred to the credit card terminal. “Some merchants can steal that information,” Ms. Lanius said, noting that illegal practice is known as “skimming.” However, the EMV card’s unique code–even if copied– cannot be used a second time. “Right now, if your card is stolen, you are not liable [for purchases illegally made],” she said, and that liability will not change with EMV cards. She pointed out that the new cards will not help with credit card fraud on-line or over the phone. “It’s really for the face-toface environment,” she said. CitiCard already has started issuing chip cards, and Ms. Lanius played a video of a TV commercial by the credit card company explaining its new card. Local businesses and merchants accepting Visa, Master Card, American Express or Discover cards have a deadline of October 1, 2015 to begin using the chip card system. Also at that time, the fraud liability will shift, she warned. Currently the bank is liable for an illegal charge–not the consumer and not the business where the transaction took place. But after October 1, the liable party will be “whoever has the lesser technology,” whether that is the merchant who does not have a device to process EMV card transactions–or the credit card company that has yet to issue EMV cards. “It’s really important that businesses know the date they are to upgrade by,” Ms. Lanius emphasized. However, the new equipment that businesses must purchase to read the EMV cards is not yet available in the United States. “They should be coming any minute,” she added. Ms. Lanius cautioned chamber members to be aware of companies taking advantage of merchants who don’t understand the new system and can be convinced to purchase the wrong equipment. She also advised against waiting until mid-September to try to purchase the necessary equipment. “Who knows how many people are going to wait? There could be a back order of equipment or increased costs.” Cast and crew hard at work on Perrysburg High School production of ‘Mary Poppins’ PERRYSBURG MESSENGER JOURNAL — April 8, 2015 — Page 9 Evenings in the Perrysburg High School auditorium are busy as students continue rehearsals for the upcoming production of “Mary Poppins.” Whether it is working on music and dancing or building the set, all of the cast–directors, set designers, orchestra and student crew members–are pitching in to bring this childhood classic to life.

Nigel Burgoine, BTT’s artistic director and choreographer, has brought Hans Christian Andersen’s love story of a beautiful mermaid and a handsome prince to life. “This timeless story has been popular through the ages” said Mr. Burgoine. “As I began choreographing this ballet, I immediately thought of areas around the world that I have visited and envisioned the undersea worlds of the island of Paxos, Greece and the reef in Recife, Brazil. While diving in these locations, I became aware of how the underwater creatures move to the rhythm of the sea which is very much like dancers, dancing to the rhythm of the music.” Regan Simon, left, will dance the lead in “The Little Mermaid.” At right, she is shown in This fairy-tale story is set rehearsals with Mason Bassett, who plays the Prince. to the music of Ravel and takes the audience under the sea on a journey with the Little Mermaid.

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. Above: Part of the Guitar exhibit at Imagination Station. Below: A see-through guitar. “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 Young Rep auditions May 2 Auditions for the Young Rep’s production of “Dear Edwina, Jr.” will be held Saturday, May 2, at the Toledo Repertoire Theatre, 16 10th Street.

Callbacks will be held Monday, May 4, at 7 p.m., at the same location. “Dear Edwina, Jr.” follows the adventures of spirited, advice-giver Edwina Spoonapple as she directs the neighbor- hood kids in a series of production numbers for her latest weekly extravaganza, “Advice-A-Palooza.” Written in the episodic style of “Schoolhouse Rock Live!,” “Dear Edwina, Jr.” is a lively musical featuring a nearly all-female cast with a host of supporting roles. Directed by Phillip Benson, “Dear Edwina, Jr.” performances will take place July 1619.

EPA ‘Lead-Safe’ Certified www.metzpainting.com Exhibition by Sandra Jane Heard opens at River House Arts May 9 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. 419-874-9499 E: [email protected] Fax: 419-874-7990 Humane Ohio offers free services for cats in April During the month of April, Humane Ohio will offer no-cost spay and neuter surgeries, plus free rabies vaccinations as part of “Community Cat,” PetSmart Charities’ spay/neuter campaign to alter free-roaming cats. If left unaltered, unowned outdoor cats produce large quantities of unwanted kit- tens each spring, flooding local animal shelters and leading to higher euthanasia rates. By taking a proactive approach and getting the cats fixed now, Humane Ohio will help lessen the impact of the coming kitten season. Spaying and neutering is one of the most effective ways to reduce the homeless pet population and spaying a Black Swamp Conservancy to host Earth Day presentation Black Swamp Conservancy is inviting the public to commemorate Earth Day by attending “Life in the Western Basin: an Earth Day Conversation” on Wednesday, April 22. The program, which is free and open to the public, will take place at the W.W. Knight Nature Preserve in Perrysburg, starting at 7 p.m. Black Swamp Conservancy, a northwest Ohio land conservation organization, is bringing together three local experts to speak on our great local resource–Lake Erie and its watershed. Presenters include retired outdoors editor Steve Pollick; environmental educator and advocate for conservation and land preservation, Cheryl Harner, and University of Toledo Professor of Ecology Christine Mayer. The presentations will be followed by questions from the audience and an open discussion. “A lot of attention has been placed on our watershed lately, and not always in the most positive light,” said Sarah Brokamp, Conservancy advancement coordinator. “We wanted to offer a public program which reminds us how fortunate we are to have this amazing natural resource.” More information about this event can be found by going to Black Swamp Conservancy’s website at Black Swamp.org, or by calling 419-872-5263. female cat before the first heat cycle can be beneficial, improving the health of the cat by reducing the risk of certain reproductive cancers and infections. “Female cats can have as many as three litters a year, and kittens can breed as young as four months old,” says Dr. Monica Monto, veterinarian, Humane Ohio. “Most people don’t want to see the cats they’re feeding get pregnant over and over again, so our “Community Cat” campaign is a great opportunity for them to get these cats fixed now.” This special is available to all residents of Ohio and Michigan. Residents feeding outdoor free-roaming cats who wish to take advantage of this offer must mention the “Community Cat” campaign when scheduling their appointment. Appointments are based on availability. Those interested should visit humaneohio.org or call 419266-5607.

Advertise your home in the classifieds 419-874-2528 The Wood County Health District is joining Gov. Kasich and the Ohio Department of Health to promote healthy homes for all Ohioans. This year’s HHAM theme, “Ohio Healthy Homes, Building a Foundation for Healthy Lives” underscores the importance of having and maintaining a healthy home to support wellness throughout people’s lives. Families can maintain a healthy home by understanding the seven principles of a healthy home. •Keep it dry. Prevent water damage and mold growth by checking your plumbing, your roof and your draining system for leaks. Make sure your basement remains dry. •Keep it clean. Remove clutter and contaminants from your home. Use a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) vacuum and wet cleaning methods to remove small dust particles and lead-based paint dust. •Keep it safe. Install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Put fire extinguishers in your home. Address possible home safety hazards, Every day Americans are exposed to health hazards in their homes. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, Americans spend about 90 percent of their time indoors. Indoor hazards include mold, lead, radon, carbon monoxide, tobacco smoke and pests. As Americans spend so much of their time indoors, these hazards can have negative effects on health including lead poisoning, carbon monoxide exposure, and injuries such as falls. Despite the many hazards in homes, these health issues are preventable. To bring awareness to these health concerns, Ohio Governor John R. Kasich has designated April as Healthy Homes Awareness Month. There are seven principles of having a healthy home. Healthy homes are dry, clean and safe. These homes are well-ventilated and wellmaintained as well as free of contaminants and pests. It is important to have a healthy home to reduce rates of lead poisoning, asthma and falling hazards.

Our Magnus is definitely a type-A personality—a Big Man on Campus, so to speak. He is so talkative and chatty, even when no one (cat or human) seems to be listening to him. He craves attention. He’ll beg to be petted. (He REALLY loves to be petted, actually!) In short, Magnus is the kind of fella that cannot (and will not) be overlooked. If you need a big presence in your life, then you might want to come meet Magnus. He will gladly fill the role of the leading man in your life. 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. 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.

PUBLIC NOTICES Business News “BECAUSE THE PEOPLE MUST KNOW” Kenetta Kay Jones, human resources manager for the Rudolph Libbe Group, has been elected vice president community relations for the Northwest Ohio Human Resource Association. She is responsible for overseeing outreach opportunities and driving social responsibility for the organization. She will be responsible for overseeing sponsorship packages for NOHRA events through its Resource Partner Steering committee and supports intransition members to improve job search and workforce readiness skills.

She also serves as a board member for FrontPath Health Coalition, and associate board director for Sun Federal Credit Union. Hospice of Northwest Ohio lecture to discuss importance of advance directives, on April 28 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 between the physician and pa- tient. 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 April natural gas costs decrease over last year April ends winter heating season with bills lower than winter of 2013-14 as natural gas costs among lowest in nation. The cost of natural gas, and in turn residential natural gas bills, continue to fall for Columbia Gas of Ohio customers. Columbia Gas has announced the Standard Choice Offer (SCO) price for April 2015 will be $.39 per 100 cubic feet (ccf), compared to $.59 per Ccf for April 2014. The average residential natural gas bill for April is projected to be $72.47, marking a decrease of $10.86 from the April 2014 average projected bill of $83.33. April also brings closure to the traditional winter heating season, and residential bills showed a slight decline over last winter. For the 2014-15 winter heating season—traditionally identified at November, December, January, February and March—the average residential bill was projected to be $518.04, an overall decrease of $53.41 from the 2013-14 winter heating season bill of $571.45. It was nearly half the record winter heating season bill of $1,062.59, set in winter of 2005-06. The most recent information from the U.S. Energy Information administration (EIA) shows that Ohio natu- ral gas costs are the 14th lowest in the nation. This is below neighboring states of Michigan (16th), Kentucky (21st) and Pennsylvania (31st). A sharp decrease in natural gas costs over the past decade due to increased supply from the Marcellus and Utica shale deposits, along with aggressive energy conservation programs have helped drive down bills for consumers. These factors have led to Ohioans having some of the lowest natural gas bills in the country. Columbia Gas of Ohio safely delivers clean and efficient natural gas to approximately 1.4 million customers in 61 of Ohio’s 88 counties. With headquarters in Columbus, it is one of the seven energy distribution companies of NiSource Inc. (NYSE: NI) and is the largest natural gas utility in the state. NiSource companies deliver energy to approximately 3.8 million customers located within the high-demand energy corridor stretching from the Gulf Coast through the Midwest to New England. More information about Columbia Gas of Ohio is available at: ColumbiaGasOhio.com. Be sure to call 811 at least two business days before you dig. For information about natural gas safety and what to do if you suspect a gas leak, go to: www.safegasohio.org. 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.
