PERRYSBURG YOUR HOMETOWN NEWSPAPER 1853 1935 PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER ©WELCH PUBLISHING COMPANY, PERRYSBURG, OHIO, (419) 874-4491 VOLUME 163, NUMBER 15 – APRIL 15, 2015 75¢ SINGLE COPY School district’s 1.9 mill, five-year permanent improvement levy expires Dec. 31; A day of family fun! board of education discusses renewal or replacement and length of levy Plans are underway for Harrison Rally Day–Saturday, September 12 By Deb Buker Permanent improvement funds can only be used by school districts for maintaining buildings, purchasing busses and educational equipment. It cannot be used for salaries or day-to-day operations, explained Superintendent Tom Hosler at last week’s Perrysburg Board of Education work session. At the end of this year, a five-year, 1.9-mill levy, which was passed in 2010, will expire–which raises approximately $1.5 million annually. The superintendent told board members there are three options regarding the levy–let it expire, replace it or renew it. “If the levy expires, that would mean the 1.9-mill levy would expire on January 1, 2016, and the $1.5 million collected annually for permanent improvements would go away,” he said. “So any type of bus purchases, or any type of roof repairs would come out of the general budget which is what we use to fund programming for students.” District Treasurer Matt Feasel explained the difference between a renewal and a replacement levy. A renewal levy renews the current tax, said the treasurer. “It will continue to generate the same amount of tax revenue as when it was originally approved by voters. If the value of the district has grown, the millage rate is reduced so that the tax generated stays the same,” he said. “With a replacement levy, the millage rate is restored to the original rate as what it was when originally approved by the voters. “If the value of the district has grown, the original millage is multiplied against the newer/higher value and additional revenue is generated because of the growth in the total valuation. Whatever revenue that updated millage rate and current valuation generates creates a new baseline–collection amount. If in the following year the valuation increases, the millage rate would then be reduced so that it was generating the same amount of revenue it did in the first year of collection.” Since 1980, every five years, the permanent improvement levy has been approved by the voters, said the superintendent. “We have been very fortunate that the community recognizes that this is an investment in our facilities,” he added. “But I do want to point out, that if we continue that trend with the possibility of a 2015 renewal, it would come up again in November 2020. And next year, our four-year operating levy is set to expire–that has been a fouryear levy cycled with the Presidential election. That too, if we go with a four-year levy, will potentially expire in 2020. We could have two levies expire in 2020, which is something to consider here. “Today, we are just introducing this, so there is time to discuss and plan.” The superintendent told board members there are different types of levies available for schools–operational levies used for salaries, programming and day-to-day operations; bond issues which means additions or new facilities, and permanent improvement. “A couple of things to keep in mind as we move forward are the ages of our buildings,” added Mr. Hosler. “Our newest building is the high school which is now over 10 years old and are oldest building is more than 80 years old. The bulk of our buildings are in that 40 year and up, in terms of maintenance. If you own a home that is 40 years or older, you can appreciate the needs that go with that. “The other thing that is a big item is our bus fleet. While we have enough busses, the ages of the busses are to the point where they are requiring a lot of work. We have 49 percent of our busses–almost half of our bus fleet–are 15 years old.” All district administrators submitted project requests for permanent improvement (PI) funds. “We received more than $9.5 million worth of requests from all the different groups,” he said. “We then began to meet and began to look at prioritizing those kinds of things. “Example–roof replacement is something that you see here. We have an assessment that was done of all our roofs. The roofs were rated in terms of conditions and based on the number of repairs done over the years. We coupled that with the assesment information, and we came up with a replacement schedule. We do this with parking lots, boilers, etc. So the first thing we do is look at those schedules and plug those in and work our way down the list. Then we have to map that on how much money we get annually from the PI. “The last PI called for air conditioning at Toth and Frank elementary schools. Those were big ticket items and beyond the dollar amount that we collected in one year, so we had to break those up over two years.” The total amount proposed for 2016-20 PI levy projects is $7.7 million. “This puts us right in the range of what we would collect over a five-year levy. If we change it to a four-year, we will have to go in and adjust it. This is built on a five-year levy,” added Mr. Hosler. He explained that the summary by year is by priority and cash flow. “You do see security cameras at every location–something very important to us,” said Mr. Hosler. “We do have cameras at some of our buildings right now, but we certainly wanted to expand that.” The proposal also shows the purchase of 10 new busses–two each year. “Another important issue is the seating at the junior high athletic stadium, which was built in 1967. We have done a great job maintaining it, but we know there are some things we need to do,” continued the superintendent. “We need to look at a long-term solution for the seating there. We want it to be safe for our spectators. We also want it to be accessible to all spectators whether you are somebody who has trouble getting up the stands right now or somebody who is handicapped. We want them to come to our facilities and sit in the stands and enjoy the games. “It isn’t just about football, it is about boys and girls soccer, lacrosse, track– it is about all those kinds of activities that go on there. This is something we also are proposing and splitting it over two years. It is an important area of our facilities.” The superintendent added that $50,000 annually will be set aside for junior high and high school band and orchestra instrument replacement. This needs to be incorporated into the proposed project summary. Mr. Hosler also reviewed the project list from the 201115 PI levy. “In 2010, when we went to the voters, we had a list of projects and posted it on our website. And here is our report and what we accomplished,” he told the board. “We are very proud of what we do with the voters in terms of that accountability. These are the things we said we were going to do and five years later, how did we do? “Also, the PI does much more. We have a contingency set aside each year of the PI for those things that come up that are not on list. For example–when we were doing the PI in 2010, we didn’t know Permanent Improvement Levy Proposed Project Summary 2016-2020 •High school–gym repairs, outdoor track facilities development, security vestibule/cameras, insulation, sealcoating and new scrubber: $358,771 •Junior high school–roof replacement, PA system, security vestibule/camera, sealcoating, new scrubber, instructional and performance area renovations and athletic complex-irrigation system, stadium seating and press box: $1,760,782 •Fort Meigs Elementary–security cameras, replace locks and door handles, clocking system, cafeteria tables, gutters/downspouts, stage curtains, sealcoating and new scrubber: $85,420 •Frank Elementary–secondary heat, roof replacements, security cameras, PA system, playground renovation and sealcoating: $735,874 •Toth Elementary–roof replacement, security cameras, windows, parking lot replacement, sealcoating and new scrubber: $734,747 •Woodland Elementary–replace roofs, drains, PA system, security cameras and sealcoating: $907,227 •Commodore Building–auditorium windows and blinds, boiler, roof, security cameras, parking lot and sealcoating: $366,761 •Maintenance/Grounds–replace six plows/trucks, concrete/catch basin repairs, roofing preventative maintenance, sealcoating, HVAC repairs, district flooring, district furniture and contingency: $1,743,395 •Transportation–10 busses at two each year, garage doors and openers, HVAC, security cameras and sealcoating: $1,049,286 Total: $7,742,266 we would have to purchase portables.

By Jane Maiolo When it comes to public education, Ohioans may want to consider the expression “be careful what you wish for.” In response to citizens’ concerns regarding teacher accountability, the state developed two programs, OTES (Ohio Teacher Evaluation System) and RESA (Resident Educator Summative Assessment). At the April 8 meeting, the Penta Career Center board of education reviewed the latter, discussing issues with it. Mark Smith, RESA coordinator, gave an update on the program, designed to support new teachers. In Ohio, all beginning teachers including those in career technical fields are required to successfully pass a performance-based assessment. As part of the assessment, teachers must demonstrate the ability to “design and implement instruction that engages students in complex thinking and uses formative and summative assessments to inform their teaching practices.” When teachers begin their careers, they receive a four-year resident educator license that is nonrenewable. To maintain licensure, they must complete all four years of the program and pass a comprehensive RESA exam to receive a five-year license, explained Mr. Smith. He compared the program to “building a plane while it is taxiing down the runway,” adding, “Unfortu- nately the plane is flying now, and we’re still dealing with building issues.” Mr. Smith said the first group of teachers recently completed the full, four years with four out of five successfully passing it. Penta teacher performance at 85 percent exceeded the statewide passing rate of 63 percent. Career Center Director Jeff Kurtz attributed the higher than average passage rate to the extraordinary support Penta’s teachers received. “These five were the guinea pigs, Mr. Smith noted. “And they are so over this program.” During the first year, new instructors receive oneon-one mentoring including classroom management and curriculum. They also must deal with requirements of OTES. Even with mentoring, the program can be a challenge for career technical teachers who come from industry and have never taught in a classroom, he explained. In year two of the fouryear induction, the instructors no longer receive individual mentoring. “There is one mentor for all teachers,” he said, and the focus is on professional development planning. “It’s about how you teach and present [instruction],” Mr. Smith added. Years three and four entail planning and implementation. He described year three as the “toughest” because educators are assigned five online tasks to complete with no assistance Harrison Rally Day Saturday, September 12 9:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. Downtown Perrysburg A Day of Family Fun! Presented by Penta Board of Education reviews Resident Educator program, discusses flaws with system from Mr. Smith. “This is a lot of work. It’s long, frustrating and fraught with problems.” He noted issues with video uploads and the Ohio Department of Education “forgetting things.” “Teachers are so frustrated with how it works,” he continued. “There were so many technical issues, and last year it kept crashing the system.” He pointed out that each time the system crashed, data was lost. To add insult to injury, the test results, computed in California, take months to receive. “The results from May were not released until December,” he said. And when the results came, instructors who failed the assessments were given no feedback on the areas in which they are weak. Mr. Kurtz said RESA has made it more challenging to retain career technical teachers. “A couple are on the cusp this year, and the paperwork is overwhelming,” he added. Mr. Smith agreed, “Every first-year teacher in Ohio must do this, and ironically, we’re losing teachers to it.” “If this is an Ohio program, why in the world is it administered in California?” questioned board member Bob Righi. Superintendent Ron Matter explained that the assessment was outsourced, he believes, through Stanford University. The superintendent said another frustration with RESA is that no system is in place for teachers who do not pass. He believes the first two years of resident educator contain “good stuff,” but would like to see individual districts administer the last two years “instead of farming it out. Let us have more local control.” Mr. Smith explained that the Ohio Department of Education is considering some changes such as eliminating the OTES requirements in year three; replacing year three with an OTES assessment; eliminating RESA for career technical teachers; dispensing with years three and four of the program, and allowing districts to create their own mentoring plans. But, he added, “I don’t anticipate them getting things fixed anytime soon.” Other Business In other business, the board: •Hired personnel for 2015-16.

Superintendent addresses administrative changes, new school, levies Perrysburg city council approves amended CRA for O-I Perrysburg Schools Superintendent Tom Hosler addressed families and community members in a letter last week regarding administrative changes, the new fifth/sixth grade building and future levies. “We are honored to have earned the community’s support for a bond issue this past fall. Planning is already under way for a new school building that will serve many generations of students. We anticipate that the new school could be ready for occupancy as early as August 2017. While selecting a site and constructing a new school is important, it is not as important as selecting the people who will serve our students and community in the new facility. At this time, we would like to announce our plans to address the administrative needs now and in the near future. We also will outline the process that we will use to staff the new fifth and sixth grade building. It is our goal to provide the community and staff with as much information as possible so that individuals can make Last week, Superintendent Tom Hosler announced that Frank Elementary School principal Brent Swartzmiller will assume the duties of Perrysburg Junior High School principal beginning with the 2015-16 school year. Scott Best, Fort Meigs Elementary School principal, will serve as principal for the new fifth/sixth grade building when it opens in the fall of 2017.

Administrative Changes We have been very fortunate to have Dale Wiltse serve as the principal at Perrysburg Junior High since 2008. He is a tremendous leader and his love and pas- sion for students and the staff who serve them is second to none. He has announced that he will retire at the end of this school year. Our students, staff and community is better for the seven years of his service, and we wish him the very best in retirement. I have asked Brent Swartzmiller to serve as PJHS principal beginning with the 2015-2016 school year. Mr. Swartzmiller has been principal of Frank Elementary School for seven years. He also has helped lead the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program for the district. Before joining Perrysburg Schools, Mr. Swartzmiller was assistant principal of athletics and activities at Maumee High School. He is currently working towards a doctorate OAESA’s SAIL program in partnership with Concordia University. The Frank Elementary principal position will be posted on Monday. I have asked Scott Best, principal at Fort Meigs, to serve as the principal for the fifth and sixth grade building when it opens in the fall of 2017. Mr. Best will leave the Fort Meigs principal’s position in the fall of the 20162017 school year and serve in a dual role as co-principal of Fort Meigs and also as fifth and sixth grade building principal as we prepare to staff, train and transition to open the new building.

Artomatic is a non-juried art show for Toledo area residents. It covers a broad spectrum of media, subject matter and skill levels. PJHS art teacher Maura Meyers held a school-wide art contest for work that was a maximum of 8”x10”. “While I teach 6th-8th grade art, not all students interested in art have time in their schedule to take art electives,” said Ms. Meyers. “Having a contest helped find students who create original works of art to post in Artomatic.” Ms. Meyers also will have a space on the fifth floor, where she created a 21-foot-long paint-by-number style mural of houses in the Old West End that people attending the show can help paint.

In the fall of 2016, Kellie Johnson, Perrysburg High School assistant principal, will be named coprincipal of Fort Meigs Elementary School and will assume the day-to-day operations of that building. The following year she will be principal of Fort Meigs. Prior to serving at PHS, she taught fourth grade at Woodland Elementary. Mrs. Johnson is a PHS graduate and attended Fort Meigs the year it opened when she was in fifth grade. The decision on filling the PHS assistant principal position will be made in the spring of 2016. All of the recommendations above have been discussed in the board personnel committee and will be submitted to the board for approval. Staffing for the Fifth/ Sixth Grade Building The district is in a unique position as it opens an entirely new building serving a grade band that • Meet local wellness experts • Learn more about the state of your health • Talk with Dr. Stacey Hoffman, Kingston’s Medical Director. has never existed before. Unlike moving an entire grade level, sixth grade to the Commodore and then to PJHS, this building will be pulling staff from five different buildings and we will create its specific educational philosophy, vision and pedagogy. During the 2015-2016 school year, we will develop a process to provide all interested staff a chance to explore positions in the new building. The goal would be to have a process in place for staff and the administration to work together to name the fifth and sixth grade team by the end of the 2015-2016 school year. This will allow an entire school year for team building, intensive instructional planning, professional development and a review of instructional materials. It will also give the team a chance to work with parents and students one whole year before the transition. Committee Work A core design committee is overseeing seven committees formed to oversee different areas of the project–site review, building programming, interior design, efficiencies, 5/6 building instructional, transportation and operations, and 7/8 building instructional. The committees include a cross-section of faculty, staff, district leadership and community leaders who reached out to us to become involved after the passage of the bond. The first three committees have already begun meeting regularly. The board has made offers on three properties and expects to announce the location in about a month. It will most likely be within a mile of PHS. From this first step, we will move forward in two tracks–the construction plan and the instructional plan. The construction planning team will look at recently built facilities and develop a recommendation based on what is best for the site, energy savings, etc. For the instructional plan, we will assemble a team of faculty, staff and parents to look at other districts that utilize a 5/6 model and develop a recommendation based on those findings. At that stage, both plans will come together to form the building design. At that point, we will break ground. Auxiliary Gym, PJHS Renovations and Elementary Security For the auxiliary gym, junior high renovations and elementary security proj- ects, planning will be similar but on a smaller scale. We are anticipating that the air conditioning will be installed at PJHS this summer, making all of our schools fully air-conditioned. Impact on Future Levies At this time, we are anticipating that we will renew the permanent improvement (PI) levy that expires at the end of 2015 for the same amount—no new money. Also at this point, we are planning to renew the operational levy that expires at the end of 2016. Based on district budget projections and an always-challenging projection of state funding for schools in the future, it is the board’s goal to be able to open and operate the new building for at least two years before needing to consider exploring new revenue (2019). The vast majority of staffing costs for the new building are already part of the current budget since we will be relocating fifth and sixth graders and supporting staff. We will continue to update you as things continue to move forward. In the interim, please let me know if you have any questions.” U.S.P.S. #428-380 PERRYSBURG MESSENGER JOURNAL Published every Wednesday at Perrysburg, Ohio 43552 Periodicals Postage Paid at Perrysburg, Ohio 43552 Matthew H.

Humane Society seeks support for trap-neuter-release efforts The Wood County Humane Society (WCHS) is seeking financial assistance from the community to help the organization lend support to the Cocoon Shelter. A non-profit dedicated to providing safety, healing, and justice for battered women and their children, the Cocoon Shelter recently discovered its property is home to a large feral cat colony. Members of the WCHS SNIP Committee initially offered its assistance in remedying the problem. Together the two organizations have been trying to get as many of the feral cats trapped, neutered/spayed, and returned. But WCHS funds are tight, and the organization is seeking monetary donations from the community. “It’s a ‘help us help them situation,’ so please donate if you are able,” said Leyna Jennings, WCHS board member and chair of the SNIP committee.

Dear Editor: Tis the season every three months for school systems to put continuous levies on the ballot until they can rally their special interest PAC to add to your taxes. They “only” need to win once if only “one” vote passes their levy. The current levies are designed to use intimidation and threats against the student customers and parent stockholders/owners of the schools. The operating levies are designed to insure wage increases (80 percent of the budget) over operating cost of the school systems. This is a totally unfair situation where the wage increases hold actual day-to-day operating cost including sports, bussing, and other services hostage to maintain their cradle to grave entitlement wages. There is a very simple solution by having three levies instead of two levies. One levy for wages only, a levy for actual operating cost, and a levy for permanent improvements. This would allow for Tell them you saw it in the Journal NWWSD open house set for May 3 U.S. Rep.

Balancing the budget is now much easier when a school district has a shortfall that could be solved with across the board cuts on wages. This would avoid any inconvenience to the students or their parents and would allow all their Union Brothers and Sisters to maintain their jobs. All this without having to layoff the fresh new teachers while protecting the tenure ridden senior teachers. The action required is to only allow money levies to be in November and not multiple times per year–an insult to voters and taxpayers. They need to learn to live within their budgets just like each stockholder of the school districts. We need our representatives to propose this kind of legislation ASAP to now represent the majority taxpayers and not the entitlement driven education coalition.

Owens celebrating Community College Month Owens Community College will celebrate its role in providing higher education to the surrounding northwest Ohio region with a series of events and activities during Community College Month, which is held nationally in April. “Owens Community College plays a prominent role in providing area residents with innovative learning and training opportunities on which to build future success,” said Mike Bower, Ph.D., president of Owens Community College. “As community colleges across the country celebrate April as Community College Month, I encourage those individuals who are or have attended a community college to share their story of success with someone who may have never considered higher education as an option. Together, we can positively impact the lives of others through lifelong learning.” The celebration will include a variety of weekly events to help recognize the important role that community colleges play in educating students and to express appreciation to faculty, staff, students and community partners for their hard work and dedication to Owens and our communities. Community College Month is celebrated around the country in April to commemorate the contributions community colleges make in educating and training students for the future. Community colleges provide enhanced educational opportunities, create greater access to higher education and strengthen economic development initiatives in the communities they support. There are more than 1,100 community colleges in the United States, with a combined enrollment of more than 12 million students. The average age of a community college student nationwide is 28. More than 750,000 associate degrees are awarded annually and 46 percent of all U.S. undergraduates attend a community college. Owens’ Community College Month activities are collaboration between several College departments. For additional information and a list of events, visit www.owens.edu.

The daily bag limit will be six walleye from May 1 through February 28, 2016. From March 1 through April 30, 2016, the daily walleye bag limit will be four. A 15inch minimum size limit is in effect during the entire season for walleye. The yellow perch daily bag limit is 30 from May 1 through April 30, 2016, with no minimum size limit. Lake Erie anglers can find walleye and yellow perch bag limit information at ODNR offices, in special publications at bait and tackle shops and at wildohio.gov. Lake Erie walleye and yellow perch fisheries are managed through an interagency quota system that involves Ontario, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio jurisdictions. Each jurisdiction regulates their catches to comply with quotas and minimize the risk of over-fishing these species. Quotas for the upcoming fishing season are determined through consensus agreement by these jurisdictions through the Lake Erie Committee of the Great Lakes Fishery Commission, which were just recently announced for 2015. Walleye Ohio walleye anglers in 2015 will catch fish mostly from the 2011, 2010, 2009, 2007 and 2003 hatches, with some fish from the 2008 and 2012 year classes. Walleye from the moderate 2010 hatch will range from 18 to 23 inches, while walleye from the 2007 hatch will be more than 20 inches. The 2003 and 2007 hatches are likely to carry most of the Central Basin fisheries. These walleye will contribute to the population that has a good number of fish over the 26inch range. Large walleye from the strong hatch in 2003 will continue to provide “Fish Ohio” opportunities (greater than 28 inches), with this year class nearing the size that may give Ohio a new state record walleye. Yellow Perch Expect good perch fishing in 2015, with the largest fish in the eastern areas of the Central Basin. Perch anglers should encounter fish ranging from 7 to 13 inches from the 2012 through 2007 hatches in this year’s fishery, with major contributions from the 2012, 2010, and 2008 year classes. Fish from the average-to-better hatch in 2007 will contribute fish in the greater than 10-inch range. Black Bass Smallmouth bass fishing in 2015 is expected to be fair but improving. Smallmouth bass catch rates increased in 2014 compared to 2013 and were the highest observed since the mid-1990s. Smallmouth bass caught should be excellent size (14 to 22 inches, weighing up to 6 pounds). The best fishing for smallmouth bass will continue to occur in areas with good bottom structure, which is the available habitat across much of the entire Ohio nearshore area and islands areas. Continuing the trend from previous years, largemouth bass fishing should be excellent in 2015. This emerging fishery is producing high catch rates and some large fish in nearshore areas and harbors across Ohio’s Lake Erie. All black bass (smallmouth and largemouth) must be immediately released from May 1 through June 26, 2015. Beginning June 27, 2015, the daily bag limit for bass will be five, with a 14inch minimum length limit. Steelhead Steelhead anglers should enjoy another year of great fishing in 2015 in Ohio’s Lake Erie open waters and in tributaries. Peak summer steelhead action on Lake Erie can be found offshore from June through August between Vermilion and Conneaut, with catches measuring 17 to 29 inches. Most Lake Erie anglers troll for steelhead in deep waters using spoons with divers or downriggers until fish move close to shore in the fall. The daily bag limit remains at five fish per angler from May 16 through Aug. 31, 2015, and two fish per angler between Sept. 1, 2015, and May 15, 2016. A 12-inch minimum size limit is in effect throughout the year. White Bass White bass continue to provide excellent seasonal fishing opportunities in the Maumee and Sandusky rivers and in the open lake. The 2015 catch will be dominated by fish from the 2012, 2011 and 2010 year classes. Fish from 2007 could be as large as 16 inches. Anglers should focus on major Western Basin tributaries during May and June and nearshore areas of the open lake during the summer. There is no white bass daily bag limit or size limit. Other Species Bays, harbors and main lake shorelines offer excellent fishing for panfish, as well as occasional northern pike and muskellunge in vegetated areas. Anglers are reminded that fishing conditions on Lake Erie can change hourly, and adjustments are often necessary to improve success. Anglers should take into account factors such as water temperature, cloud cover, water clarity, boat traffic, wave action, structure, currents and the amount of baitfish in the area. Anglers are also reminded to carefully monitor Lake Erie weather and to seek safe harbor before storms approach. Updated Lake Erie fishing reports are available at wildohio.gov or by calling 888HOOKFISH (888-466-5347). Information is available from ODNR Division of Wildlife staff from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays at the Fairport Harbor station (440-352-4199) for the Central Basin and at the Sandusky station (419625-8062) for the Western Basin.

All are part of NDA’s prestigious International Baccalaureate (IB) Program. “The entire group of students has been very committed, we have numerous students that have pursued artistic thematic issues of global, national, and social importance at a very professional level that in several cases pushed boundaries,” said NDA art teacher Susan Kozal. Meghan plans to study international relations in college and has focused on numerous contemporary global issues including the abduction of the Nigerian girls by Boko Haram, the Russian Annexation of Crimea and its parallels to Germany’s start of World War II, the Middle East countries delineation after World War II separating ethnic, religious, language groups and how this may be a contributing factor to the ongoing unrest in that region. Meghan’s show was en- titled “Learn from our Past…History Always Repeats Itself.” She received an honorable mention in the Design category for the Cleveland Institute of Art 2d3d exhibition for her graphic design work entitled III?. She also had her pieces III? and An Eye for an Eye, both computer art works, juried for the Ohio Governor’s Youth Art Exhibition in Columbus. Caroline is a full IB diploma candidate who plans to major in science in college presented a show called, Elements. “Science directs the main focus of my artwork. Central American travel and their music are also present throughout my collection,” said Caroline. She has covered a broad range of scientific topics in her work including creating a large cloud formation that illustrates its scientific transition of formation even lighting up to show the lightning. Katherine debuted her collection in her show called, “Where I’ve Been.” Ms. Ryder has grown as an artist through the IB program. “I have learned to take charge, put research and thought into all of the projects that I do. I have tried various media that I had Grace Herring at the exhibition. Meghan Kozal The concert was held in the R.L. Heminger Auditorium at Findlay High School.

Grace presented her show entitled “First Impressions.” “I’m influenced by a lot of artists; the Impressionists Caroline Thornbury and Surrealists are my primary influences, while my classmates are my immediate influences. I draw a lot of inspiration from what’s happening around me, physically and emotionally,” said Grace.

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 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. Blood drive set for April 26 The American Red Cross will hold a blood drive on Sunday, April 26, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Greater Toledo Islamic Center, 25877 Scheider Road, Perrysburg. To schedule an appointment, call 1-800-733-2767 or visit redcrossblood.org for more information. To be eligible to donate blood, an individual must be at least 17 years of age, or 16 with parental permission, weigh a minimum of 110 pounds based on height, and be in good general health. All donors need to present valid identification. The Western Lake Erie Region serves 11 counties, and needs to collect about 300 units of blood a day to meet patient need in 24 hospitals. •EDGAR SCHWIETERMAN Edgar D.

Mist comin’ in ... Like somethin’ was brewin’, about to begin ...” The magical adventures of Mary Poppins are about to begin at Perrysburg High School. The directors, orchestra, cast and crew are getting ready for opening night Thursday, April 23. The PHS stage has been transformed into Cherry Tree Lane in London in preparation for the upcoming performances. Planning for this production began a year ago, including the design and creation of costumes by a costume designer in Chicago. Construction of the many set pieces began in February and has taken more than 120 hours and the help of over 100 students. In addition, backdrops were brought in from Michigan, Florida, Kansas and California, as well as some rented set pieces and props from Indiana. And since Mary Poppins wouldn’t be proper without a flying nanny, a professional flying effects company out of Las Vegas was hired to create the flying effects and train the actors and handlers. This production will be one of the largest and most elaborate shows ever to be produced at PHS. Theatre productions are not funded through the district or board of education, but rely totally on patrons, ads and ticket sales to produce the show. Sound effects and lighting will add to the play’s magic and adventure. Approximately 50 students on the technical crew will add their time and talents behind the scenes to making a successful production. This year’s technical crew includes Megan Galle serving as stage manager, Katherine Swartzbeck and Sean Dunphy as assistant stage managers and Faith Best as house manager. Additional technical crew members are: •Lights Crew–Katie Pach (co-chair), Haley Palicki (cochair), Nathan Brown, Soliman Dastagir, Adam Dykes, Nicole Jackson, Matt Kerr, Abbi King, Courtney Lucas, Christin Malear, Jacob Middleton, Stephen Schnurbusch and Riley Seely. •Sound Crew–Sean McGivern (co-chair), Meric Pope (co-chair), Alex Bentley, Tyler Lewandowski, Jacob Hertzfeld, Josh McGee, Geoffrey Mintz, Enrico Tabernero, Connor Thomas, Michael Toffler and Spencer Tye. •Stage Crew–Marissa Amstutz, Noel Blewitt, Jacob Cope, Emily Cottle, Marcus DeWitt, Sarah DeWitt, Kelly France, Gage Frankevic, Elise Gallerno, Olivia Henthorn, Brock Lauer, Ryan McConnell, Ronny Seely, Brittany Seese, Patrick Wang and Michael Werling. •Publicity–Katie Pach (cochair), Brittany Seese (cochair), Faith Best, Maggie Davis, Kaylee Enck, Jacob Hertzfeld, Nicole Jackson and Michael Werling.

An estimated 6,000 northwest Ohio residents will join together at the Town Center at Levis Commons on Saturday, May 9, for the American Cancer Society’s (ACS) annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer (MSABC) event. The non-competitive 5K walk unites the community in an effort to celebrate breast cancer survivors, educate people about how to reduce their breast cancer risk, and to raise funds for research and treatment. Making Strides has raised more than $685 million nationally with 11 million walkers in 300 communities across the country. This year marks the ninth annual MSABC event in Northwest Ohio which has raised more than $500,000 since its inaugural year. The 2015 goal for MSABC is to raise $100,000 plus locally to support the ACS mission to save lives by helping people stay well, helping people get well, by finding cures and fighting back against breast cancer.

Participants of the annual event will enjoy a wide range of entertainment and activities as they walk the 3.1-mile route through Levis Commons. From performances by the Perrysburg High School Marching Band and the Perrysburg Twirling Sophisticates to face painting, a photo booth and strolling mascots, there will be plenty of fun for walkers of all ages. Additionally, many Levis Commons businesses offer discounts, giveaways and special promotions during the event. There is a special emphasis at Making Strides Against Breast Cancer on celebrating and showing support for people who have been victorious in their fight against breast cancer. Survivors are invited to a “Survivor Tent” at the walk where they receive an honorary recognition item and are pampered with free chair massages and camaraderie. For additional information about the walk, to sign up a team or to make a donation, visit makingstrideswalk.org/ nwohio. The American Cancer Society combines an unyielding passion with nearly a century of experience to save lives and end suffering from cancer. As a global grassroots force of more than three million volunteers, ACS fights for every birthday threatened by every cancer in every community. ACS save lives by helping people stay well by preventing cancer or detecting it early; helping people get well by being there for them during and after a cancer diagnosis; by finding cures through investment in groundbreaking discovery; and by fighting back by rallying lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and by rallying communities worldwide to join the fight. As the nation’s largest non-governmental investor in cancer research, contributing more than $3.4 billion, ACS turns what they know about cancer into what they do. As a result, more than 11 million people in America who have had cancer and countless more who have avoided it will be celebrating birthdays this year.

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. Dr. Stockwell’s book, “The Other Trail of Tears,” 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. Ms. 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 currently is 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.

WS individuals have extraordinary gifts and unique challenges Join Walk for Williams Syndrome–Sat., May 16, at Grace Church Individuals with Williams Syndrome have extraordinary gifts and unique challenges. But not enough people know that. During May, volunteers for the Williams Syndrome Association (WSA) will work hard to inform the community and others across the country about the syndrome. As part of the awareness week, a Walk for Williams will take place in many locations throughout the country with more than 10,000 people participating. Locally, a walk will be held Saturday, May 16, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at Grace United Methodist Church, 601 East Boundary Street, Perrysburg. Michelle Self, mother of a Williams Syndrome high school freshman and Williams Syndrome board member, is organizing the local walk. She is joined by Sherry and Greg Grover of Toledo and Julie and Elisa Oglesbee of Danbury to help “spread the word” about Williams Syndrome and raise funds for research programs. In addition to the walk, activities at the May 16 event include lunch, a bounce house, musical entertainment, visit from Muddy the Mud Hen, raffles and silent auctions. Registration begins at 9 a.m. at the church with the walk starting at 10 a.m. The cost is $20 for an individual or $50 for a family of four. Registration can be done on the event morning or to receive a free T-shirt, register online at www.walk4will iams.org before April 26. Featured on ABC’s “20/20” and MSNBC, The community is invited to join the fourth annual “Walk for Williams” on Saturday, May 16, at Grace Church in Perrysburg. Joining Alex Bentley and his dog Hamden last year for the walk were his parents Michelle Self and Bill Bentley, grandparents, aunt and uncle. Williams Syndrome is a genetic condition that is present at birth and can affect anyone. It is characterized by medical problems, including cardiovascular disease, developmental delay and learning disabilities. These occur side-by-side with striking verbal abilities, highly social personalities and an affinity for music. It affects one in 10,000 people worldwide–an estimated 20,000 to 30,000 people in the United States. It is known to occur equally in males and females and in every culture. Children with this syndrome need costly and ongoing medical care, and early interventions (such as speech or occupational therapy) that may not be covered by insurance or state funding. As they grow, they struggle with things like spatial relations, numbers and abstract reasoning, which can make daily tasks a challenge. Additionally, their overly friendly personalities and tendency to think everyone is a friend can put them at risk in the community. WSA is the most comprehensive resource for people and families living with Williams Syndrome as well as doctors, researchers and educators. WSA provides resources, support and the latest medical information to help children with this syndrome throughout their lives. Awareness month activities help fund the Williams Syndrome Association’s research, medical emergency and scholarship funds. The medical fund provides financial support directly to families for expenses associated with costly medical procedures for their children. Scholarships are provided for summer enrichment, postsecondary and transition programs and grants to educational conferences and conventions.

Animals come out of hiding and hibernation while trees and flowers bloom anew. The spring season can be an exciting time for naturalists and lovers of the great outdoors because they can immerse themselves in the sights, sounds and smells of nature. But for many people, spring also marks the start of allergy season and spending time outdoors can become downright uncomfortable for them. The American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology says nasal allergies affect approximately 50 million people in the United States. Allergic diseases, including asthma, are the fifth most prevalent chronic diseases among people of all ages and the third most common in children. Allergic rhinitis, or hay fever, can occur in spring, summer and/or early fall. People who experience hay fever often can attribute their symptoms to sensitivity to pollens from trees, grasses, weeds, or airborne mold spores. No two allergy sufferers are alike, so medications that may work for one per- the library’s Information Desk or call 419-874-3135, extension 112, by April 22. The program is open to the public. Refreshments will be served. formances. All performances are subject to approval by Way Library. Space is limited. Anyone who is interested in performing can sign up at son may be only mildly effective for another. Many medications can cause side effects, which may be just as frustrating as the initial allergy symptoms. Treatments may target sneezing and itching but fail to clear up congestion. Drowsiness, dry mouth and nasal irritation may be side effects of common allergy drugs. People who want to avoid allergy medication can look to natural remedies to alleviate their symptoms. Whether used alone or in concert with traditional medicine, these remedies may make spending time outdoors more pleasant. •Try probiotics. Probiotics, those friendly bacteria that reside in the digestive system, can do more than just treat an upset stomach. Naturopathic doctors say that probiotics also can influence the immune system and may help strengthen its response to common allergens. Since probiotics are good for replenishing healthy bacteria in the body anyway, many people may want to keep taking them once their allergy symptoms have come and gone. •Use neti pots or saline sprays. A small amount of saltwater can rinse away allergens, such as pollen, that get lodged in the nose. These rinses also can help clear up congestion and flush out any other irritants. •Load up on omega-3s. A German study published in the journal Allergy found that participants who ate foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids were less likely to suffer allergy symptoms than those who didn’t regularly eat these foods. Omega-3s can help fight inflammation. Drinking more fluids and using spices in cooking can help flush out allergens as well. •Don’t forget vitamin C. Vitamin C is an immunesystem booster and may help prevent the formation of histamine in the body, a substance responsible for many allergy symptoms. We are Kubota.

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 threedimensional 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.

The list includes an impressive array of sports camps sponsored by the Eagles, All Sports Champs 11 times in a row, to encourage girls to soar on the playing field. There is even a special princess camp for students in kindergarten through grade 3. “'We researched existing programs across the country and conducted focus groups to get ideas about what would interest high school as well as younger students. NDA Summer Academy, ‘To NDA and Beyond,’ has been designed to have a broad appeal to girls as well as boys in grades K-12,” said Lauren Boyles-Brewitt, Summer Academy director. “In our inaugural year, we are offering coed camps including cooking, fused glass, fencing and archery, the SafeSitter program, theatre and performance, Laurel Lovitt'’ Royal Princess Academy and much more. Parents are especially excited about our Career Exploration Experience week, ‘Road Rules’ driver safety course, ACT prep and college tours. We can hardly wait to get started and to grow the program.” Girls Only Camps Girls only camps include a Beauty Boot Camp (grades 7-12) highlighting hair, nail, and make-up tips and Dance/Baton/Cheer (grades 2-6) a great way to try all three to see what your daughter enjoys most.

Agents hope parents and students make the decision not to participate in illegal and dangerous behavior, such as providing alcohol to minors and consuming underage. “While we know alcohol consumption takes place before prom, most of the illegal activity happens after prom has concluded,” said OIU Enforcement Commander Eric Wolf. “Either way, the excitement that comes along with prom can easily turn into a time of tragedy because of the increased occurrences of underage drinking at after prom parties. We urge parents not to provide a place or allow alcohol consumption to take place on your property.” To help foster good choices, parents and teens need to understand Ohio’s underage drinking laws. It is illegal to provide a place for your child and his/her friends to drink in a “safe” environment. In fact, parents may not provide alcohol to children who are under 21, who are not their own, even in their own home with the other parents' permission. Those convicted of providing alcohol to a person under 21 years of age face maximum sentences of six months in jail and/or a $1,000 fine. It is illegal to purchase alcohol for anyone under 21. Anyone who purchases, sells or gives alcoholic beverages to underage individuals faces a $1,000 fine and/or up to six months in jail. Anyone under 21 who is caught driving with a blood alcohol concentration of .02 percent or higher, a level that can be reached after just one or two drinks, can be arrested. Punishment is suspension of driver license for at least 90 days up to a maximum of two years, plus four points added to the offender’s driving record. Having an open container of alcohol in a motor vehicle also is illegal. Anyone who has information about a bar, store or carryout selling beer and/or liquor to persons under the age of 21; or information of an underage house party, notify the Ohio Investigative Unit by calling the #677 on a cell phone and the complaint will be investigated.

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.

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. To place an ad, call 419-874-4491 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. 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, which can include uneven steps or missing railings. •Keep it well-ventilated. Increase the amount of fresh air in your home. Eliminate tobacco smoke and test your home for radon and carbon monoxide. •Keep it contaminant-free. Reduce your exposure to lead and other contaminants in your home. If your home is connected to a well, have the water tested regularly. •Keep it well-maintained. Inspect, clean, and repair your home routinely. Check your gutters, downspouts, air filters, heating system and batteries in smoke alarms regularly. •Keep it pest-free. Seal cracks and openings to prevent insects and rodents from entering your home. Keep food in airtight containers and clean up any spills and extra food immediately.

When this little lady isn’t napping or looking for some affection from her many human friends among our staff and volunteers, she can often be found entertaining herself with all of the toys around the cat room.Shimmer is an adult white cat, about 4 ½ years old. In temperament, she is calm, affectionate, and personable. In stature, she is quite dainty. Shimmer loves to be petted and she gets along well with her feline friends around the shelter. Does Shimmer sound like the perfect addition to your family? Then come meet her today! Omar can best be described as “sweet and needy.” He loves to be around his humans, so much that he barks and cries when left alone for lengthy periods. Omar is very fond of lap sitting, sloppy kisses, and food sharing (we use the word “sharing” very loosely here!). He also is very high energy. He will go on as many walks as you’ll indulge him. This Dachshund really needs is a human who can give him enough time and attention to tire him out! Omar is a still a bit skittish. He is frightened by quick movements and strangers, so he would be best placed in a home without children. Does Omar sound like the kind of companion that you’ve been searching for? Then, stop by the shelter and meet this guy 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.

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. 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 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.

DANNON furbearer trapping season dates also were passed. Season dates and bag limits for migratory birds, including mourning dove, Canada goose, rail, moorhen, snipe, woodcock and waterfowl will be set in August in compliance with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s framework. The Ohio 2015-16 hunting and trapping season dates can be found at bit.ly/1516 Ohiohuntingseason. Deer regulations have been trending toward reduced bag limits and restricted use of antlerless permits in recent years. The reduced bag limits and adjusted hunting seasons work to stabilize deer populations. Deer population goals will be revised this summer through a random survey of hunters and landowners. Participants in the survey will have the opportunity to provide input about the future of deer management in Ohio. Overview of the deer seasons for 2015-16: •Deer archery: September 26 through February 7 •Youth deer gun: November 21-22 •Deer gun: November 30 through December 6, and December 28-29 •Deer muzzleloader: Jan. 9-12 Approved County Bag Limits No more than two eithersex deer permits: Athens, Auglaize, Belmont, Butler, Carroll, Champaign, Clark, Clinton, Coshocton, Darke, Erie, Fairfield, Fayette, Gallia, Geauga, Greene, Guernsey, Hancock, Harrison, Hocking, Jackson, Jefferson, Lawrence, Madison, Meigs, Mercer, Miami, Monroe, Montgomery, Morgan, Morrow, Muskingum, Noble, Ottawa, Perry, Pickaway, Preble, Sandusky, Shelby, Tuscarawas, Van Wert, Vinton, Warren, Washington and Wood.

The statewide bag limit of six deer was approved, a reduction from the limit of nine deer last season. Only one deer may be antlered, and a hunter cannot exceed a county bag limit. Antlerless permits may be used from September 26 through November 29. Small game hunting seasons will continue during the second gun weekend, December 28-29. The ringed-neck pheasant and chukar hunting seasons were extended one week to January 10. The Ohio Wildlife Council voted to approve the proposals after receiving public input from Ohioans at open houses and a statewide hearing in March. Open houses gave the public an opportunity to view and discuss proposed fishing, hunting and trapping regulations with the ODNR Division of Wildlife officials. For Ohioans who were unable to attend an open house, comments were accepted online at wildohio.gov. The Ohio Wildlife Council is an eight-member board that approves all of the ODNR Division of Wildlife proposed rules and regulations. Council meetings are open to the public. Individuals who want to provide comments on a topic that is currently being considered by council are asked to preregister at least two days prior to the meeting by calling 614265-6304. All comments are required to be three minutes or less. A reduction in white-tailed deer bag limits and antlerless permit use during the 2015-16 hunting seasons were among regulations approved by the Ohio Wildlife Council at its scheduled meeting on Wednesday, April 8, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR). The council also voted to remove the peregrine falcon from Ohio’s list of threatened species. The Ohio Wildlife Council voted to approve deer hunting proposals prepared by ODNR Division of Wildlife. Among the approved changes: •Reduce bag limits in most counties, and remove antlerless permits in all but 10 counties. No county had a bag limit increase. •Reduce the statewide bag limit of deer from nine to six. •Suspend the antlerlessonly muzzleloader weekend. •Offer two additional days of deer-gun hunting, December 28-29. •Move muzzleloader season to January 9-12. •Move the start of fall turkey hunting to October 10, two days earlier than 2014. •Add one straight-walled cartridge rifle, the .450 Marlin, to the existing list of legal hunting rifles during the deergun and youth deer-gun seasons. The Ohio Wildlife Council also approved changes to Ohio’s list of threatened species. The peregrine falcon, previously threatened, was removed from the list. The population of peregrine falcons in Ohio, and throughout the eastern United States, has made a significant recovery through conservation efforts. The ODNR Division of Wildlife will continue to monitor peregrine populations, but on a smaller scale. This will allow biologists to focus on recovery efforts for other species which need additional attention. The Rufa red knot, previously unlisted, was added to Ohio’s list of threatened species.

In an effort to make roads safer, Wood County Safe Communities is continuing to promote the “One Text or Call Could Wreck It All” campaign to stop distracted driving. Wood County Safe Communities has pledged its support to help spread the message that distracted drivers are not only a danger to themselves, but everyone else on the road. “We all know that talking on our cell phones while driving is distracting, but that doesn’t stop most people from continuing to do it,” said Sandy Wiechman, Wood County Safe Communities coordinator. “This effort is intended to educate our community about the dangers of cell phone use and other distractions while driving. We hope that once people see the statistics and realize the dan- ger involved, they will change their driving habits to help protect themselves, their families, and others on the road.” In 2013, 3,154 people were killed in crashes involving a distracted driver and an estimated additional 424,000 were injured in motor vehicle crashes involving a distracted driver. That same year, 11 percent of fatal crashes were reported as distraction-affected crashes. While anything that takes your eyes off the road, hands off the wheel, or mind off the task of driving is a hazard, there is heightened concern about the risks of texting while driving because it combines all three types of distraction–visual, manual, and cognitive. The national mobilization to stop distracted driving focuses on ways to change the behavior of drivers through legislation, enforcement, public awareness, and education–the same activities that have curbed drunk driving and increased seat belt use. “Every driver in Wood Perrysburg Area Democratic Club to meet on Thursday, April 16 The Perrysburg Area Democratic Club will meet at Way Public Library on Thursday, April 16, from 7 to 8 p.m. Starr Wlodarski will be welcomed as the club’s new treasurer and Jerry Robison will be honored for his 17 years of service to the club. Ms. Wlodarski joins club officers Rachel Johnson, president; Barb Baumgartner, vice president, and Carol Russell, secretary. Mr. Robison has joined the board of trustees. The April meeting will focus on the club’s annual strategic planning update, newly formed committees and the November election. “We are excited to talk about our progress and goals for this year,” said Ms. John- son. “We welcome all area Democrats to this meeting and look forward to sharing how they can be a part of our activities for this year. It’s going to be a lot of fun.” The 2015 PADC meeting schedule is as follows: •June picnic, date and location to be determined •Thursday, August 13 •Thursday, October 8 •Holiday gathering, date and location to be determined Unless otherwise noted, all meetings are held at 7 p.m., in Way Library meeting rooms A and B. To learn more about upcoming events, contact the club or to join the mailing list, visit www.perrysburgarea democraticclub.org. County has a role in this effort,” said Ms. Wiechman. “However, we especially want to reach out to parents with teen drivers because we know that statistically, the under 20 age group had the highest proportion of distracted drivers involved in fatal crashes.” Wood County’s goal with this campaign is simple– save lives by getting drivers to remember that “One Text or Call Could Wreck It All.” For additional information contact Lt. Jerrod Savidge at 419-352-2481 or Ms. Wiechman at 419-372-9353 or send an email to [email protected].

Brodin L. Walters Planning and Zoning Administrator GOT MULCH??? Published in the Perrysburg Messenger Journal, issue of April 15, 2015 Mulch is the material placed on the soil to conserve moisture and improve growing conditions. Common mulches include wood chips, bark, pine needles and compost. Organic mulches are preferred because they improve soil structure, add organic materials and provide nutrients. Applying a 2-4 inch layer of organic mulch can mimic a more natural environment and improve tree health. However, if mulch is applied too deep or the wrong material is used, it can actually harm trees. The beginning of the root flare, the place where the trunk widens out to form roots, must remain visible. Avoid the lollipop look. Benefits of Proper Mulching • • • • Helps reduce soil moisture loss, control weed and grass competition Protects the trunk from lawnmower and weed eaters Insulates soil, protecting roots from extreme summer and winter temperatures Gives a well cared for look in the landscape plantings Proper Mulching • Check soil drainage in the area to be mulched. • Most organic mulches work well in most landscape situations. • Apply a 2 to 4 inch layer of mulch over welldrained soils. Use a thinner layer on poorly drained soils. • Do not pile mulch against the tree trunk. Pull mulch back several inches from the trunk so the base of the trunk and root crowns is exposed. The mulch ring should resemble a “doughnut” not a “volcano”. • If mulch is already present, check the depth. Do not add more if a sufficient layer is already in place. Rake old mulch to break up matted layers and improve its appearance. • Composted wood chips make good mulch, especially when it contains a mixture of leaves, bark and wood. Fresh wood chips may be used around established trees and shrubs. Avoid using fresh wood chips that have piled without exposure to oxygen. Sawdust and straw are not recommended. If a Little is Good, Then… ‘Volcano Mulching’ is an improper mulching technique where mulch is piled high against the tree trunk. Mulch should not touch the trunk of the tree. The trunk was simply not meant to be covered. Volcano mulching causes harmful effects on the tree’s health and will eventually kill the tree. Volcano mulching: • Promotes excessive soil moisture and root rot. • Causes inner bark tissue to die • Leads to insect and disease problems • Creates habitat for rodents that chew the bark and girdles the stem • Results in anaerobic conditions that produce alcohols and organic acids toxic to young plants • Causes imbalances in soil pH • Becomes a matted barrier that prevents the penetration of water and air Planting Bed at Tree Base • Trees in the forest usually have bare ground or moss around their trunks. Placing an elevated planting bed around the perimeter of your trees has the same detrimental effects as volcano mulching. • The tree may develop stem girdling roots or development of insect and disease problems. • The bark on the trunk of the tree is not intended to be covered by soil and mulch/soil will cause damage and eventually kill the tree.

Many adult wild animals will leave their young offspring alone while they forage for food, or to divert the attention of potential predators away from the more vulnerable young. When young animals are discovered with no adults in sight, the adult is often nearby waiting for people to leave the area before they retrieve their young. Most wild animals are raised by only one adult or are not tended to during the daylight hours. In the case of white-tailed deer, a doe will hide her young from predators by leaving it alone in a secluded spot, such as a grassy meadow or a flower bed. A hidden fawn has virtually no scent and when left alone is difficult for predators to find. The doe will tend to the fawn or fawns several times each night. It is important to leave animals in the wild. If people disturb a nest, they should replace the young animals and the nest material as close to the original location as possible. It is a myth that wildlife parents will not tend to young because of human scent. State and federal laws protect and regulate wildlife and endangered species in Ohio. Only licensed wildlife rehabilitators, working under special permits issued by the ODNR Division of Wildlife, may possess and care for native wild animals. These laws are in place for the benefit of humans as well as wild animals. To further protect young and vulnerable wild animals, keep pets under control so they do not raid nests and injure wild animals. Keep pets inoculated against parasites and diseases. Check for nests before cutting down trees or clearing brush. It is best to cut trees and clear brush in the autumn when nesting season is over. Educate children to respect wildlife and their habitat, observing wildlife from a distance. Contact your local wildlife official before taking action.
