PERRYSBURG 1853 1935 VOLUME 162, NUMBER 28 – JULY 9, 2014 YOUR HOMETOWN NEWSPAPER ©WELCH PUBLISHING COMPANY, PERRYSBURG, OHIO, (419) 874-4491 PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER 75¢ SINGLE COPY Construction to begin next month on new Holiday Inn Express and Suites Perrysburg School District employee Eric Whitson arrested for theft On July 2, investigators from the Wood County prosecutor’s office and Perrysburg Police Division arrested Perrysburg School District employee Eric Whitson for two counts of theft–fourth degree felonies–related to two unauthorized checks issued from the Perrysburg School District account to the Bowling Green High School Athletic Booster Club. Mr. Whitson, 30, has been employed with the school district since July 2004, working in the treasurer’s office handling accounts receivable and student activities accounts. At a press conference on July 3, Wood County Prosecutor Paul Dobson stated his office has been working in cooperation with Perrysburg and Bowling Green police, Perrysburg School administration and the BGHS Athletic Booster Club. “It appears, so far in the investigation, that Mr. Whitson not only being an employee of the Perrysburg School system but also the treasurer for the Bowling Green Athletic Booster Club for several years,” stated Mr. Dobson. “And it appears, at least at these initial stages, that he was taking unauthorized funds from the Bowling Green Athletic Booster Club and he utilized the Perrysburg funds in order to replenish the booster club fund when it became apparent that a new treasurer was going to be appointed.” Mr. Whitson served as the booster treasurer from 2009 until early this year. The prosecutor stated that two checks from Perrysburg Schools, one for $42,000 and one for $38,000, were issued on February 28. “This was initially brought to our attention by the Bowling Green Athletic Boosters,” said Mr. Dobson. “We just received word and started the investigation very recently.” If found guilty, Mr. Whitson could face up to 18 months in prison and fines up to $5,000 on each count. The school employee was arrested at the Commodore Building and taken to the Wood County Justice Center. Mr. Whitson, who lives with his parents in Bowling Green, was arraigned in Perrysburg Municipal Court on July 3. During the arraignment, Mr. Dobson stated there was a search of the Whitson home and investigators found uncashed checks, numerous bank account paperwork and cash in his bedroom. Mr. Whitson has no spouse or children–minimal ties to the area and could be a flight risk, he added. Representing Mr. Whitson, attorney Peter Hallek stated that Mr. Whitson is a lifelong resident of Wood County and would not flee. Municipal Court Judge Molly Mack set bond at $80,000 with 10 percent allowed. Judge Mack also set the following conditions with bond: no contact with any Perrysburg School administrators or employees; no contact with Bowling Green Athletic Boosters; no contact with the Northwest Ohio Please turn to page 2➧ Twp. trustees approve factfinding agreement with police union Plans are under way to construct a 112-room Holiday Inn Express and Suites on the southeast corner of Levis Commons–State Route 25 and Roachton Road. Jon Roumaya, from Key Hotel and Property Management of Toledo, said they expect to break ground in August with a completion in a year. The $11 million hotel will feature an indoor pool and 2,000-square-foot meeting room. Along with the hotel, Mr. Roumaya stated, the management firm has plans with the 10-acre site that also include some national restaurants and franchises. The architectural drawings and site plan have been submitted to the Levis Commons architectural review committee for review and comments. By Jane Maiolo The Perrysburg Township trustees accepted factfinding reports from the Ohio State Employment Relations Board as it pertains to negotiations between the township and the sergeants, patrol officers and dispatchers unions of the Ohio Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association. At the July 2 meeting, Trustee Bob Mack noted that the report was “a lot of give and take. Neither of us got all we wanted.” Terms of the three-year agreement, which is retroactive to January 1, call for wages increases of 1.5 percent in 2014 and 2015 with this year’s increase retroactive to January 1. In 2016, the raise will be 2 percent. The union had sought 4 percent increases annually, and the township had countered with increases of 1, 1.5 and 2 percent over three years. Regarding insurance, employees will pay 15 percent, and the township will pay 85 percent of the premium. The factfinding report recommended that no change be made to the current language regarding compensatory time, but did include a meal reimbursement of $50 per day for officers who attend training seminars or conferences. This is not the first time the trustees and nearly 30 members of the union have been unable to come to terms on an agreement. The last time the trustees and police union relied on a factfinder to resolve their issues was during negotiations for the 200810 contract. Route 199/Scheider Road Trustee Gary Britten updated the trustees on the State Route 199, Eckel Junction and Scheider roads discussion. He said representatives from Perrysburg Schools the mosque, soccer association and ODOT met, adding that it was a “mixed bag” on whether to close Scheider Road where it meets Route 199. Mosque officials questioned whether the road could be made one way, but the trustee is concerned that people may still drive both ways. Mr. Britten believes closing Scheider at Route 199 is the best option. Trustee Craig LaHote agreed. “Closing Scheider is my number one preference,” but he asked if a four-way stop sign at the intersection is good compromise. “I’m ready to move forward with a four-way stop and get it in place before school starts,” he said. Mr. Britten is opposed to the stop sign option. “I will not support a four way stop sign,” he said, pointing out that it will create a backup of traffic to the north side at the Eckel Junction intersection over the hill. He also predicts that if Costco is built at State Route 25 and Eckel Junction, traffic will increase. “We’re going to create a problem. That’s [stop sign] one of the worst mistakes we can make.” Mr. Britten asked for more time to meet with the parties involved to see if they can reach a consensus. Mr. LaHote agreed but said he would like to see a timetable set for a decision.

(PAHM) officially opened its doors on June 28. The museum, 27340 West River Road, is open Thursday through Sunday from noon until 5 p.m. General admission is $5 for adults, $4 for senior citizens and high school students, $3 for junior high and elementary students, and 5 and younger are free. At the ribbon-cutting ceremony, J.D. Justus, PAHM board liaison, welcomed community members, guests and elected officials. “It has been a long process,” he said. “Phyllis Morton, 13 years ago this was your dream, your idea. We are so proud of what you have done for our community. This is all because of you, thank you.” The museum features an entrance foyer, 1830s keeping room, early American kitchen, judge’s office, research library, Native American history and artifacts room, 1830s bedroom, old-fashioned school room and military, fire and police room. The museum is a safe, professionally run repository for a vast array of historic items. These objects by themselves or through demonstration by trained volunteers will exhibit the ideas and achievements of the individuals, both Native Americans and settlers, who inhabited this territory over the past 200 years. The museum displays objects and tells the history that portrays the skills of these people as well as their trials, successes and failures. The format of the museum includes a dis- play of rotating exhibits, special collections and historic artifacts as inventory expands. “Our gift to future generations will be the careful maintenance and protection of items reflecting this heritage,” said Judy Justus, PAHM president. Above left, U.S. Marine Corps Vietnam veteran Juan Artiaga and U.S. Marine Corps World War II veteran Robert Romaker raised the flag while members of the Old Northwest Military History Association volunteer group are waiting to do a gun salute.

Back row, from left are State Representative Tim Brown, Wood County Commissioners Doris Herringshaw, Jim Carter and Joel Kuhlman. Representative Brown presented a commendation from the Ohio House of Representatives and read a portion of it–“In this modern era in which the durability of goods is valued often in months and days rather than in years and in decades, it is not only enlightening but also satisfying to discover that some representation of our past still stands for future generations as a record of and monument to previous achievements. The Perrysburg Area Historical Museum has certainly made a positive contribution to the quality of life in our society maintaining the rich heritage of bygone days.” Below left, State Senator Randy Gardner presents Mrs. Justus and Mrs. Morton a commendation from the Ohio Senate. “I don’t think there is any community in Ohio that has a brighter future than Perrysburg, plus none other that cares more about its history and heritage,” said the senator. “Judy, Phyllis–we are all benefactors of your hard work and dedication.” Below center, from left are Mayor Mike Olmstead, Mr. Justus and former mayor Martha Baldoni. “We learn from our history, we are inspired from our history,” said Mayor Olmstead. “Here is an opportunity for us and future generations to do both those things as we continue to make Perrysburg the community that it is already but even more so, take it to the next level.” Below right, Perrysburg Township Trustee Craig LaHote presents a proclamation to the museum officers. “It is wonderful when a community can not only do the basic services that we all need, but to also have wonderful things like this to help preserve our history and remind us of where we all came from,” said the trustee.

David Christoff Fallen Heroes Memorial Fund-raiser will take place Friday, August 8. Lisa Brondes, who is coordinating the event, said all proceeds will benefit the Wounded Warrior Project. The annual fund-raiser is named in memory of U.S. Marine Sgt. David Christoff of Rossford. Sgt. Christoff was killed in May 2006 serving his second tour in Iraq. He volunteered for duty the day after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, motivated by the desire to protect the freedom and safety of those he loved. He is now laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. “David was a warrior and a true leader of men, receiving numerous citations and medals for valor and bravery,” Ms. Brondes said. She explained that there are several ways to participate in the fund-raiser: •Become a sponsor in the Fallen Heroes Memorial Golf Tournament or golf in the event on Friday, August 8, at Stone Ridge Golf Club in Bowling Green. •Make a donation or vol- unteer to assist at the fundraiser at the website www.HeroesUnforgotten. com. “At any level, your participation in honor of Sgt. Christoff and the many others who have served and sacrificed for our benefit and the benefit of our country, is very much appreciated,” Ms. Brondes said. The Wounded Warrior Project serves veterans and service members who incurred a physical or mental injury, illness or wound coincident to their military service on or after September 11, 2001. “Many of those who serve to protect our great country return home injured and are in need of help,” she said. “This project provides aid to those individuals and their families. It is a wonderful organization that is helping to rebuild the lives of those who have sacrificed so much for our freedom.” The golf tournament begins with a shotgun start at 10 a.m. It includes a four-person scramble, lunch and awards reception following the round. Registration is limited to the first 30 teams. There is an $85 fee per golfer, or $35 to attend the awards reception. Cynthia Parsons will be the guest speaker at the awards reception with a message of “love and endurance” about her son, U.S. Army Sgt. Shane Parsons. On September 30, 2006, anti-coalition forces attacked his convoy on a mission in Rhamadi, Iraq. He suffered a severe anoxic brain injury and two cardiac arrests, and ultimately succumbed to bilateral abovethe-knee amputations. He is improving every day as he works on his speech, social skills, occupational and physical therapy. “He’s alive, and he’s a precious gift,” Mrs. Parsons said. “I’m honored to be his mother, and I’m proud of all the men and women who serve our country.” To sponsor, donate or golf in the fund-raising event, visit www.HeroesUnforgotten. com.

I wish to thank the following for helping make the opening of the Spafford House Museum sponsored by the Perrysburg Area Historic Museum, Inc., a wonderful happening for the history of our area. If it had not been for the organization, dedication and hard work of J.D. Justus and others, we still would not be open. The PAHM board wishes to thank the following groups and people who shared with us the joy of our grand opening on June 28: American Rent-All, tent; Fort Meigs, parking; Perrysburg Schools and Abundant Life, transportation) Perrysburg Police, and parking attendants Chuck Stocking, Jeff Wilbur, Dave Ward, and Brad Taylor; City of Perrysburg and Mayor Olmstead; Accessible Renovations, contractors; architect Kate MacPherson, represented by Scot; State Senator Randy Gardner; State Representative Tim Brown; Craig LaHote, Perrysburg Township; our County Commissioners James Carter, Doris Herringshaw, Joel Kuhlman; Juan Artiaga and Bob Romaker, U.S. Marines flag raisers; Fort Meigs re-enactors, gun salute, and Christine Best, Spafford House Museum curator. Of special interest to our visitors were the historical interpreters: Rick Thielen (Judge Aurora Spafford’s library), Phyllis Morton (family Keeping Room and front hall), Nancy Wilbur (upstairs bedroom), Joann Ward (the one room school), J.D. Justus (Military, Police and Fire room), and Ted Weaver (Native American room.) It took a great deal of coordination and effort from the people who were responsible for assembling the artifacts and pictures in the W rooms. We thank J.D., Juan Artiaga, Art Schaller, Doug Bahnsen, Nancy Wilbur with Joann Ward, and Ted Weaver for their momentous efforts. We couldn’t have done all this without our intern, a senior from Bowling Green State University, Erin Magill who became a whiz on the labeling machine. Judith P. Justus, president Wood County Humane Society N investigates cruelty cases The Wood County Humane Society (WCHS) employs a Humane Agent to investigate reports of neglect, cruelty, and abuse from concerned citizens, social services, health departments, and other law enforcement agencies. The following cruelty report was submitted by Humane Agent D’Ann Gregory for May 2014. This past month, Ms. Gregory handled a total of 23 cases, 16 of which she successfully resolved, seven of which are still pending further investigation. Of the 16 closed cases, three were filed with “reason for concern,” eight resulted in the administering of additional education, four resulted in referrals to other Maumee Band concert to be on July 15 The Maumee Community Band is presenting a free concert series this summer. A program is scheduled for Tuesday, July 15, at 7 p.m., on the lawn of the Maumee branch of the Toledo Public Library, 501 River Road. The band is under the direction of Kevin Heidbreder. Concert goers are invited to bring blankets or lawn chairs for seating. agencies, one resulted in owner surrender of an animal, and one resulted in prosecution. Ms. Gregory also conducted 33 followups to ongoing and/or W closed cases during the month of May. During the same month, the WCHS took a total of 56 cats and 13 dogs into the shelter. WCHS Shelter Manager Erin McKibben reported the following information about intakes. Of the cats, 49 were strays, one was a surrender, five were cruelty cases and one was a return. Of the dogs, 10 were surrenders, one was a WASH transfer from another shelter, and two were returns. The WCHS also adopted N out 17 cats and 13 dogs during the month. Dear Editor: When I opened up my June 25th Messenger and saw on the front page that the schools were needing somewhere in the neighborhood of $35-$40 million to build another school, I thought, more money again? I suppose that $12 million levy the voters passed recently didn’t raise our taxes enough? Of course that money was for other things, I suppose, but it still raised our taxes. Most of us do have other bills which seem to continually go up, while my one fixed income per month does not. I guess for those who have more than one income, all well and good, but I struggle to keep my head above water now. Is Perrysburg getting to the point where those in the lower income bracket or those who don’t keep up their lawns according to other people’s standards and can’t afford to pay to have them done, should move? Some of us really love living here and would like to continue. Hopefully that will be the case. 4198742877 Barbara Brenneman N $ 4198742877 N Perrysburg’s ONLY Full Service Car Wash!

Nancy Lendrum helps her students keep time as they practice for the recital. By Allison Barrick Students encorporated their love of music with learning at the HarpFest held in June at St. Timothy’s Episcopol church in Perrysburg. Nancy Lendrum, director of HarpFest and principal harp in the Toledo Symphony, said she began teaching harp lessons 20 years ago, but the camp is a brand new program. The HarpFest is sponsored by St. Timothy’s Discovers program, which brings in various artists to perform at the church. Ms. Lendrum was invited to put on the special harp program. “We’re getting together to share our love of music,” she said. In order to participate in the HarpFest, one must already know how to play the harp, explained the director. Participants this year are all students of Ms. Lendrum ranging from age 7 to 83. Students from ages 7 to 19 came from various schools and places, including Michigan, St. Joseph’s in Sylvania, Lourdes University, University of Toledo, •Interstate 475 Resurfacing Through October from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. Lane restrictions are possible overnight on I-475 from SR 25 to U.S. 20A for resurfacing.

This year, four hailed from Perrysburg High School. “I’m so excited that there are students from Perrysburg,” Ms. Lendrum added. The HarpFest allowed the young harpists to learn more about tuning, changing strings, moving a harp and harp history. In preparation for the closing recital, the harpists listened to their recital pieces in their original format. “The music that they are playing was rewritten for harp,” she explained. All of the students gathered to conclude HarpFest with the recital on June 26. The harp teacher described the event as a “huge success” with about 175 audience members. While there may have been some minor mistakes, Ms. Lendrum explained that the recital was not about playing perfectly. “It’s about camaraderie and coming together to share our love of the harp,” she The last date for paying the current SECOND half real estate tax: JULY 11, 2014, 4:30 p.m. in the Treasurerʼs Office OR POST MARKED when paying by mail.

Ms. Stanfa-Stanley is a fiction, humor, and humaninterest writer whose stories have appeared in The Rumpus and in the anthology Fifty Shades of Funny. This past year, she challenged herself with 52 new weekly life experiences far outside her comfort zone. They have ranged from visiting a nude beach (naturally, she had her 75-year-old mother in tow), to auditioning for “Survivor,” to crashing a wedding reception where she accidentally caught the bouquet. She says she didn’t know fright and fun could be so closely entwined until she babysat quadruplets, exfoliated a rhinoceros, and went on a drug raid with the metropolitan vice squad and SWAT team. Through The 52/52 Project, she has pushed her boundaries, gained courage, and learned to laugh at herself in the most awkward of situations. The 52/52 Project is proof it’s never too late to reinvent yourself.

The strongest submissions were selected as finalists and will be sent to the America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education Advisory Council for final review. Composed of farmer-leaders from across the United States with a vested interest in both agriculture and education, the Advisory Council will select the winning school districts. The school district could receive a grant for up to $25,000. The winning grant recipients will be announced in early August.

PERRYSBURG MESSENGER JOURNAL — July 9, 2014 — Page 7 Five YMCA swimmers qualify for Senior Olympics Four women and the instructor of the Advanced Adult Swim Class at the Fort Meigs YMCA, Perrysburg, have qualified to compete in the 2015 Senior Olympics in July 2015, in Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota, after placing in events at the Ohio Senior Olympics in Canton June 22. Qualifying are Nell Maser of Swanton and Perrysburg residents Marcia Eck, Joan Fechter, Tricia Halstead and Mary-Chris Kay, instructor/ coach. The Fort Meigs Y team earned six gold medals, seven silver medals and five bronze medals in the Canton competition. All also take part in the Y’s 100-miles-per-year swim club. The National Senior Olympics Games are held every two years and have grown from 2,500 participants in 1987 ages 50 and older to an expected 12,000 competitors next summer in 16 individual and three team sports. It is the world’s largest multi-sport event for senior athletes, who compete in five-year age brackets up to age 100. The NSOG is an organization of the U.S. Olympic Committee. Although each state hosts games every year, senior athletes qualify for the national games in even-numbered years. Regional competitions precede state meets. Of the four “student” qualifiers, only Ms. Halstead had even taken formal swim lessons–a longago semester in college–before enrolling in Mrs. Kay’s swim classes four years ago. “I am an 11-year breast cancer survivor and hope to inspire other breast cancer survivors,” said Ms. Halstead. “Through Mary-Chris’s outstanding instruction, I have won gold medals at the regional and state levels, and have competed in the national competition at Cleveland State University.” Ms. Halstead qualified in the 50-yard backstroke, 100-yard backstroke and 50-yard freestyle events. Ms. Fechter was inspired to swim by her daughter, Kim, who competed in Special Olympics swimming. Upon starting eight years ago, Ms. Fechter could barely swim a length, but slowly worked up to swimming a mile (66 lengths) several times per week. “Five years ago MaryChris invited me to join the Y lap classes, which greatly improved my technique and speed,” said Ms. Fechter. “I had never competed in anything athletic, and needed lots of convincing to enter the 50 Sports Classic sponsored by the Area Office on Aging in 2010. Since then I have competed in several Senior Olympics.” She qualified in two backstroke events, plus 100-yard freestyle and 50-yard breaststroke. Ms. Maser also could barely swim a lap when she joined the class in 2012. Last year she began competing. “It’s very exciting to know that this old dog really can learn new tricks,” said Ms. Maser. She qualified in five of her six events, which included backstroke, freestyle and breaststroke, plus the 100-yard individual medley. “I enjoyed the water, but never had taken formal lessons until Mary-Chris’s lap swim classes over the last few years,” said Ms. Eck. “MaryChris improved our stroke technique while introducing the competitive aspects of the sport. The striving for style and efficiency, goal-setting and especially the camaraderie with like-minded aquaphiles has had a valuable impact and serves as a tension-release valve for me. Swimming simultaneously helps me battle my demons, reach a higher fitness level and have fun.” She competed and placed in all three breaststroke events. Ms. Kay grew up as an athlete in southern California, and was a college swimmer and • Consistent caring nursing staff with you every day & night. • Private suites adjacent to the large family room & kitchen. • Stay involved with gardening, cooking, & crafts! • Home-cooked meals served family-style. • Expert speech, physical & occupational rehab therapy.

At age 102, Mr. Chapman’s art career has spanned more than 80 continuous years. He has garnered a long list of awards, including a Bronze Star for combat art during World War II. His historic wartime renderings have been published in numerous books. Many of his wartime pencil sketches are archived in the Brown University Military Collection. Mr. Chapman’s paintings can be found in the permanent collections of the Springfield Museum of Art in Missouri; The Southwest Museum of Art in Arizona; The Federation of Societies Purchase Award collection in Toledo; The Canaday Library in the University of Toledo; The Zanesville Center for the Arts and the Rockefeller Library in Rhode Island. The Toledo Museum of Art Tell them you saw it in the Journal! The Plaza at Oaxaca is one of the paintings by Walter Chapman in the exhibit. honored him with a retrospective exhibition in 1988 which recognized 50 years of artistic achievements. In 2012, The City of Sylvania marked Mr. Chapman’s 100th birthday by inducting him into the Sylvania Distinguished Artists Hall of Fame and hung 100 banners from light poles along Monroe and Main streets featuring reproductions of three of his paintings.

Mr. Chapman and his wife Jean owned and operated The Chapman Art Gallery in Sylvania for more than 30 years. Currently Mr. Chapman’s home studio in Sylvania is listed as a historical point of interest in the community. The exhibit, “Walter Chapman: People, Places, and Things” is filled with images of unique people ranging from a stoic historic reenactor called a Soldier’s Portrait to a motion filled painting of a New Orleans Jazz Band. Mr. Chapman painted all over the world. The exhibit contains many beautiful watercolor paintings inspired by travel as well as local beauty as close as the Maumee. The collection shows his interest in ordinary things that he painted purely for the decorative aspects that inspired him. A flower cart filled with flowers hangs next to a painting of a dilapidated building. The opposing scenes exem- plify how inspired Mr. Chapman is by the people, places, and things around him. There are numerous pieces in the show from the Chapmans’ private collection that have never been shown to the general public. The Traditional Indian Dancers were subjects Mr. and Mrs. Chapman met in India who willingly modeled for him. The two paintings illustrate his artistically inspired regard for the cultural beauty of India’s traditional dance and attire. Some of the paintings in the exhibit are available for purchase. The exhibit includes several of Mrs. Chapman’s favorite paintings, as well as Mr. Chapman’s favorite painting destinations and portraits of intriguing people they have met along the way. The City of Perrysburg will honor Mr. Chapman with a special acknowledgment on Wednesday, July 16, at the City Council meeting, at 6:30 p.m. Residents of the Perrysburg area are invited to meet and greet Mr. and Mrs. Chapman shortly before the start of the city council meeting. For more information about Mr. Chapman, visit www.mainart-ery.com. ‘Sound of Music’ programs slated at Way Public Library Way Library will present two programs featuring “The Sound of Music.” On Tuesday, July 22, Judy Pfaffenberger will present “Germany/Austria: The Sound of Music Tour.” Visit the stage where the Von Trapps sang “Edelweiss,” take a walk down the aisle of the wedding church, and enjoy the Mirabel Gardens and the Hellbrunn Palace gazebo.

Leads chosen for Perrysburg Musical Theatre’s ‘The Music Man’ Perrysburg Musical Theatre's production of “The Music Man” hits the Perrysburg High School stage July 31 through August 3. Conman Harold Hill, played by Christian Siebenaler, rolls into River City, Iowa, prepared to swindle the good townspeople by promising to equip and train their children as new band members, all the while planning to leave town with pockets full of cash before the first band lessons begin. Local librarian and part-time piano teacher, Marian Paroo, played by Sarah Keune, intrigues Professor Hill and ultimately thwarts the con-man’s plans. Christian is returning to PMT for his second year. “I first became involved in Perrysburg Musical Theatre as Simeon in last year’s production of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” he said. “PMT has allowed me to entertain and perform, something that has always been a passion of mine, while meeting some awesome people and having a great time.” Christian is a graduate of Ottawa Hills High School, Christian Siebenaler, left, and Sarah Keune, right, have the lead roles in the Perrysburg Musical Theatre production of “The Music Man.” where he starred as Seymour in “Little Shop of Horrors” and as Daddy Warbucks in “Annie.” He also participated in “The Fantasticks” and “Pippin.” He also played Reuben in “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” while at Ottawa Hills. Sarah is very familiar with the PHS stage, as she is an Heartbeat seeks volunteers lum called ‘Earn While You Learn,’” said Mrs. Todak. “Using DVDs, workbooks, and worksheets, we help new and expectant parents learn how to be the best possible moms and dads.

Heartbeat of Toledo, a pregnancy support center, is looking for volunteers to serve as nurses, parenting instructors and advocates. “Our greatest need right now is for nurses–RNs and LPNs–who would do health assessments and pregnancy tests for the women who come to our offices,” notes Pat Todak, executive director. Heartbeat also needs volunteer advocates who will meet with women facing unplanned pregnancies to provide information and emotional support. Finally, volunteers are needed to meet one-on-one with new and expectant mothers and fathers to facilitate prenatal and parenting lessons. “Our parenting program is done using a national curricu- alumna of Perrysburg High School, where she was an active participant in the drama club.

Dr. Cummings taught teaching introductory and specialized accounting/finance courses. She did consulting and made presentations to NEU colleagues, local organizations, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities and Nha Trang University. The professor was involved in volunteer activities, NEU committees, activities and student organizations. This is the final article in the series written by Paul Cummings as he accompanied his wife Louann on their journey in Vietnam. I think that when Louann and I were first confronted with the thought of spending five months in southeast Asia–and most of the time in Hanoi, Vietnam–we didn’t know what to expect, especially me. Louann had been to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) a couple years prior on a threeweek professor exchange program through the University of Findlay. She absolutely loved the experience and the people, so that was my security blanket prior to taking the plunge. We always have to trust our wives’ opinion, right? That being said, I was still hesitant before we left but I agreed to help her get there and be the bellhop schlepping all of her shoes, clothes, text books, etc. Little did I know then what I know now–we can depart from our normal comfort zone and establish a new one. The latter part of April, when Louann’s university– National Economics University–was on break for a week, we ventured to Laos and spent a few days at the Elephant Conservation Center (ECC) near Sayaboury. After a one-hour flight from Hanoi to Luang Prabang, we spent the night and the next morning took the “local” bus from Luang Prabang to Sayaboury–around three hours road time. That vintage bus ride might provide enough material for another article, so let’s just say the passenger door of the bus was open the whole trip. There was a young boy sleeping up against the windshield for most of the ride, and to my right sat a young man with a live chicken in his lap. Need I say more? During our stay at the ECC, we helped the on-site team of vets and mahouts (elephant keepers) in their daily activities of entering the forest each morning to bring the elephants back to camp, feed them to some degree, and ride them on occasion. Other activities like bathing and training, we watched from a safe distance and we especially enjoyed the training session on how to be a mahout. It ain’t easy! A mahout raises his elephant from when it is born, and they work together as a team most of their lives. Elephants can live to be 80 years old or so. They are very bright animals. This facility resembles others in neighboring countries where efforts are being made to keep the elephant population from being depleted due to poaching and extreme and inhumane work environments. We spent a couple more nights in Luang Prabang, Laos, and at the end of this weeklong trip. It is a laid back, relatively quiet, and picturesque small city and great place to relax. You can even feel fairly secure renting a motor bike there which we did for 24 hours–much different than the noisy sea of motor bikes that is a constant in Hanoi! When we returned, we were down to our final month in Vietnam. Our last trip away from Hanoi was to the northwest region of Vietnam to a city called Sapa. We took the overnight train on a Friday night from Hanoi to Sapa–around eight hours–spent Saturday night in a hotel, and then back to Hanoi by overnight train again on Sunday night. On the train, we shared a sleeper cabin with Sarah from New Zealand and Graeme from Scotland. This remains one of the very positive things about our time in southeast Asia. Not only did we make many new Vietnamese friends, but we also made new friends from all over the world. It was good that they spoke English and didn’t snore as our quarters were tight! Sapa sits among large panoramic valleys with mountains everywhere and terrace farming runs up and down the hillsides making this part of Vietnam extremely scenic. It would not be a fun area to run a marathon! H’mong locals dress in heavy but colorful hemp clothing even in warm temperatures. They know how to work the crowd at the Sapa Market and are savvy, persistent sales people. This area is a must see if you are visiting Vietnam. Our final few weeks in Hanoi were bittersweet indeed. Around May 1, it became very hot and humid so if there was one thing we were ready to get away from, that topped the list. Otherwise, I don’t think either of us were ready to leave the many new friends we had made through our work or volunteering activities. Even during our final weeks, Louann made a wonderful new friendship with Keiko, a Japanese lady who works at their embassy, and her dog, Aroha. We hope that our paths cross again, and we say that about so many new acquaintances. Even though we never became very proficient speaking or understanding the 54th annual Five Point Steam Threshers reunion Sunday, July 20, 11 to 5 The 54th annual Five Point Steam Threshers Reunion will be held Sunday, July 20, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The event is open to the public, and admission and parking are free. This year’s reunion will take place at the corner of State Route 199 and Bayer Road in Perrysburg Township. Local farmers have gathered wheat into shocks, and the dry shocks will be collected in wagons and brought to the reunion to be threshed by old-fashioned steam-powered machines. The annual reunion provides an opportunity for city and country folk of all ages to experience life on the farms of yesteryear. The “good ole days” are here again. Sawmill and wheat threshing demonstrations will take place throughout the day, and steam engine plowing demonstrations begin at 1 p.m. Again this year will be a “kiddie tractor pull.” Registration for this event begins at 1 p.m., and the pull starts at 2 p.m. Steam engines, antique cars and tractors, and gas engines from the turn of the century will be on display and operating throughout the day. Homemade bean soup stirred in a giant kettle, fresh steamed corn on the cob, kettle-popped corn and cold drinks will be available for purchase. In the event of inclement weather, the reunion will be held 11 a.m. to 5 p.m,. on Sunday, July 27. Pets are not allowed at the reunion.

Music at the Market concert series continues tomorrow, July 10, 7 p.m., at Commodore Schoolyard with Irish band Extra Stout The Music at the Market concert series continues tomorrow, Thursday, July 10, at 7 p.m. Concert goers are encouraged to bring blankets and chairs to the lawn of Commodore Schoolyard in downtown Perrysburg and enjoy an evening of music with Extra Stout. Extra Stout has carved a unique niche in the regional music scene. Not only do they specialize in Irish music, but they go a step beyond with a repertoire of Irish pub music–silly, fun Irish ditties that are entertaining and surprisingly familiar, so the band encourages audience participation. The six members of the group all have a common Irish heritage and are committed to keeping Irish music alive and regarded. Despite their fun and engaging performance, they are serious musicians. The group has released two CDs–”Fiddlers Green” in 2002 and “It’s About Time” in 2006. Additionally they contributed a track, “Christmas in Killarney” to the “Holiday Wishes 2” CD benefitting Make-AWish Foundation. Their concerts include a range of traditional Irish folk music along with modern folk music and a sprinkle of original music. The free concert series Extra Stout will perform at the Music in the Market series tomorrow, July 10, 7 p.m., at Commodore Schoolyard.

Above, a farewell dinner with Mrs. Cumming’s philanthropic accounting club. Below, Mr. Cummings’ final session of “conversation hour” at the American Center in the U.S. Embassy, Hanoi. Vietnamese language, there was generally always someone there to come to our rescue. Most of the Hanoi locals under age 30 are bound and determined to understand and speak English as they view it as their ticket to a better future. As I told the young people I spoke to weekly at the American Center in the U.S. Embassy, “Your English may not be where you want it to be, but it’s a hundred times better than my Vietnamese.” That generally created the comfortable atmosphere I was shooting for and fostered good conversation and many laughs. The good-byes were tough, all of them, and we continue to correspond, chat, correct the grammar in emails, and do Google hang- outs with a variety of people and groups. I am trying to continue a weekly English tutoring activity with a group of visually impaired folks, a couple who are totally blind, and a couple who can see well enough to be chatting with me regularly on Facebook. Our hangouts session is 8 a.m. Wednesday for them so 9 p.m. Tuesday night for me. It seems to be working so far. Technology helps to minimize the 8,000 miles we are now separated from our new friends even though we still miss the daily interaction a lot. Louann and I once again thank the Fulbright Scholar Program for giving us this opportunity to become fully immersed in another country and culture for just under five months.When we arrived at the airport in Detroit on June 1 (another long story–we were supposed to get back on May 30 but hey... it’s Vietnam!), we experienced reverse culture shock in a big way. What we learned from our time away is that you can step out of your comfort zone and be away from all the creature comforts we Americans take for granted and adapt to new, very different, less frills surroundings. It’s all about the people, and in this case, the Vietnamese people were very welcoming, very friendly and very willing to help us. We hope to pick up where we left off in Vietnam at some point, and we will be ready to sign up for another tour of duty at the first opportunity. Try it, you’ll like it!

Dr. Nancy Orel speaks to Chamber on ‘re-imaging’ aging, Baby Boomers By Allison Barrick Since 2011, Baby Boomers having been turning 65 or older by the 10,000s– not every year or even every month, but every day. However, growing old is not a sudden event in one’s life. “Getting old is not just something that happened when we turned 65,” said Dr. Nancy Orel, associate dean in the College of Health and Human Services and professor in the gerontology program at Bowling Green State University. “We start aging at conception, but even before that.” Dr. Orel was the speaker at June’s Perrysburg Chamber of Commerce meeting. She explained that one’s ancestral history can have a huge impact on aging. “The best way to increase your longevity is to choose your parents wisely,” Dr. Orel said jokingly. While genetics play a huge role, it is still important to take care of what is given, continued the gerontology professor. “We create our own future,” she said. The population always has been aging, but it has only recently been more noticible. “It’s right in front of us, but yet we don’t see it,” she added. In the 1900s, only 4 percent of the population was older than 65. In 2012, that became 12 percent of the national population, a little more than 14 percent of Ohio’s population. In 2030, it is projected to be 21 percent, and in Ohio, 24 percent. Ohio has a very high percentage of persons over 65, but Wood County’s percentage is rather low–about 12 percent. This is due to the At the June meeting of the Perrysburg Area Chamber of Commerce, are, from left: chamber board members Matt Feasel and Bob Mack, chamber board president Debbie Paul, guest speaker Dr. Nancy Orel and chamber board member Vic Gable. many students who attend the local universities, she explained. According to recent statistics, while the ratio of caregivers to elderly recipients was seven to one in 2010, it is projected that in just 15 years, that ratio will drop to four to one. In 2050, the ratio will be three to one. The question that Dr. Orel posed in response to these ratios–are there enough young individuals to care for Baby Boomers? “Wood County is still below the national average, but it is still increasing in the number of older adults.” Dr. Orel went on to say that, unfortunately, many people think that looking old is “bad.” Growing old should not be a negative experience or view but should be faced with a positive attitude. “When someone tells you ‘you’re old,’ you should respond, ‘no, I’m chronologically gifted.’” Even so, she explained that it is important to set a plan for care now before it’s too late. “You don’t want to realize that you don’t have a plan when you get a call from the hospital,” said Dr. Orel. While planning for the future is important, the professor said that becoming disabled is not inevitable. Arthritis is the most common illness among the elderly, but it does not need to be dehibilitating, said Dr. Orel. However, it is becoming hopeful that by the time Baby Boomers, those born between 1946 and 1964, reach age 85, they will be known as “super-agers.” “A super-ager is someone over the age of 85 who does not have severe limitations,” she explained. Becoming a super-ager should be every person’s goal, she added. In addition to staying informed and using resources, Dr. Orel said that it was important to support “aging in place.” Aging in place refers to the elderly who are capable of living in their own homes. Most older people prefer this option over residing in assisted living facilities, or even living with their children. Dr. Orel explained that this often is because they do not want to be a burden to their children. The BGSU professor encouraged the audience to prepare themselves for aging by staying physically fit, intellectually active, social and finding purpose and meaning in life, because all of these aspects will help one to successfully age.

Science On a Sphere is an animated globe, with a six-foot diameter, that can show animated images of the atmosphere, oceans, vegetation and more. Science On a Sphere is the brainchild of Dr. Alexander McDonald, director of the Na- tional Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Forecast Systems Laboratory in Boulder, Colorado. Four projectors cast rotating images onto a sphere, approximately six feet in diameter, to create the effect of Earth in space. Because the images originate from data collected by satellites, researchers refer to the projected images as “data sets.” Researchers at NOAA developed Science On a Sphere as an educational tool to help illustrate Earth System science to people of all ages. Animated images of atmospheric storms, climate change and ocean temperature can be shown on the sphere, which is used to explain what are sometimes complex environmental processes, in a way that is simultaneously intuitive and captivating Imagination Station, Toledo’s Science Center is a non-profit organization located in downtown Toledo.

The brief was published through the work of the C. William Swank Program in Rural-Urban Policy, an Ohio State research initiative chaired by Partridge. “As funding for SNAP has grown, it has become increasingly important to determine whether the program reduces food insecurity,” Ms. Cho said. “Our finding that most SNAP stores in Ohio are clustered in urban areas while some of the largest increases in SNAP participation rates occurred in rural areas could partially explain why the SNAP program has an uncertain effect on food insecurity in the state.” Since 2008, SNAP participation at all levels– national, state and by Ohio county–has increased. SNAP is authorized through SCHWABEL HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING 419-874-9900 www.schwabel-hvac.com the Farm Bill and provides support to millions of Americans each year. Nationally, enrollment in the program increased by 50 percent from 2001 to 2005 and by 70 percent from 2007 to 2011. At the state level, in 2002, 9.8 percent of Ohioans were eligible to participate in the food assistance program, while in 2012 this figure reached 16 percent. Based on this data, Ohio is now the 10th most food insecure state in the nation, having previously ranked 30th in 2000. The researchers found that SNAP enrollment increases in Ohio have varied by county, though all counties have experienced an increase in program enrollment since 2000. The lowest increase in SNAP participation occurred in Delaware and Holmes counties, with a 2 percent enrollment increase in the program from 2000 to 2010. The greatest increase in program enrollment during that period occurred in Vinton County, with a 16 percent increase in program participants.

It’s not clear why in counties such as Scioto County, the number of SNAP-authorized stores would not increase in response to the growing number of participants, especially since the overall population increased as well,” Ms. Cho said. In the U.S. there is much debate on the effectiveness of the SNAP program. By offering a lens on SNAP retail participation rates in Ohio compared to where SNAP program enrollment is occurring, the authors examine a key aspect of the program that may be hindering its effectiveness: program participants’ access to SNAP-authorized retailers. This finding may be critical in understanding how SNAP participants in rural settings may be prevented from fully on installs 110 Findlay Street PO Box 126 Haskins, OH 43525 Phone 823-1394 Fax 823-1832 We have all types of batteries–not just auto! • We Rebuild Power Tool Batteries It’s Hard To Stop A Trane.™ Toll Free 1-866-823-1394 “The Company You Can Be Comfortable With” Turn to the Experts™ Be Prepared With Batteries For: u Alarm Systems u Radios u Auto/Trucks u Camcorders CELL PHONES Dynalite Battery 26040A Glenwood Rd.

FREE ESTIMATES 419-874-2251 EPA ‘Lead-Safe’ Certified www.metzpainting.com Research finds gaps in retailers accepting food stamps; could be affecting effectiveness New analysis from economists in Ohio State University’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences finds that the number of authorized stores in Ohio that serve participants in the U.S. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as the Food Stamp Program, has not followed a consistent growth pattern in the state to match program enrollment, possibly impacting the program’s ability to meet the needs of participants. The economists found that SNAP-authorized retailers are mostly clustered in the state’s large urban centers even though rural populations have seen equal increases in the proportion of residents who are SNAP participants over the last decade. While much attention has focused on low benefit levels as a reason for program ineffectiveness, the Ohio State researchers conclude that limited access to SNAPauthorized stores, particularly in rural areas, also may hinder the program’s effectiveness. In a recently published policy brief, “The Supplemental Nutrition Program FINANCING AVAILABLE Great Lakes Urgent Care participating in the program. “Although additional research on accessibility of SNAP-authorized stores needs to be conducted, the distribution of stores in relation to the location of lowincome residents in Ohio further indicates the need to improve transportation access of disadvantaged households for work, childcare, education and food,” Mr. Partridge said. “In the recent debate on whether rural poverty is overstated because of lower costs of living, other factors have been largely ignored, such as longer commutes and limited access to services such as grocery stores,” he said. “Oftentimes in rural areas, there are large areas of land without stores or with few options to choose from, as seen by the distribution of SNAP-authorized stores in Morgan County.” In their research, Mr. Partridge and Ms. Cho found that while Morgan County had a food insecurity rate of 20 percent in 2010, ranking it as one of the top five most food insecure Ohio counties, there are significantly large areas in the county that lack SNAPauthorized stores. 25660 N.
