PERRYSBURG YOUR HOMETOWN NEWSPAPER 1853 1935 VOLUME 160, NUMBER 27 – JULY 4, 2012 Former Perrysburg firefighter Dr. Chris Goliver coming home Mercy recently unveiled its proposed emergency and diagnostic center on the corner of State Route 25 and Eckel Junction Road. Pictured from left, are Wood County Commissioner Tim Brown, Dr. Chris Goliver, Perrysburg Mayor Nelson Evans and Wood County Commissioner Joel Kuhlman. Dr. Chris Goliver, medical director of Mercy LifeStar and Life Flight services, said he is very excited about what this new facility will mean to Perrysburg. The doctor said he actually started this venture several years ago as an employee of the City of Perrysburg. A former Perrysburg firefighter/paramedic, he worked his way through the ranks of the Perrysburg Fire Division to deputy chief. After taking a psychological profile exam required for city employees, it was recommended the firefighter may want to consider a new career. “It was on that test that Eric Summons [psychologist who administered the exam] called me back into his office and recommended me for the position of deputy chief,” explained the doctor. “And at the same time, he sat me down and said, ‘Chris, I want you to consider a career change. I want you to consid- er becoming a physician.’ Well, my whole family is firefighters–my grandfathers, my father and myself–that is all I ever knew. Little did I know he planted a seed and we can say the rest is history because here we are today coming back home.” Dr. Goliver said as a paramedic and physician he has seen first hand what a difference seconds can make in saving a life. “Being able to have that immediate treatment can make a profound impact in quality of care we need and the ultimate outcome for your patient.” He recognized the firefighters and paramedics of the Perrysburg Fire Division. “I salute you guys– you are Please turn to page 3➧ At its June 28 meeting, Perrysburg Planning Commission approved the preliminary site plan for the proposed emergency care center with the condition of successful rezoning of the property from highway commercial to institutional and the approval of a special approval use.

More than 300 community members and friends filled the aisles of the library to welcome home Perrysburg native, author and professor Douglas Brinkley. The author of the current best-seller biography on Walter Cronkite, “Cronkite,” shared stories about the CBS icon and why he decided to write the biography. “I want to tell you a little bit about why I am here tonight with Walter Cronkite,” he told the group. “My father used to work for Owens Illinois in Toledo and my mom was a teacher at Perrysburg High School and we would watch, as so many of you did, the CBS News with Walter Cronkite in the evenings. He sort of was seared in my childhood memories–as much as when you go down Louisiana Avenue or Country Charm Shopping Center or going past all the old haunts when you come back home. “It dawned on me that Cronkite needed to be taken more seriously in history when I was in New Orleans with the great writer David Halberstam. He made the comment that Cronkite was the most significant journalist in the second half of the 20th century. It kind of took me aback because I always thought of print reporters as being the ones that count. As we talked about it, I knew he was right and he said that somebody should write his biography.” Mr. Brinkley, who lives in Texas with his wife and three children, then called his literary agent and asked if anyone was writing a biography on the news anchor, and the answer was no. And so the author had his next book. “And coincidently, all of his papers had just been donated to the University of Perrysburg Mayor Nelson Evans, left, presented Douglas Brinkley with a War of 1812 Commemorative Challenge Coin. One side has a ship depicted on it and the reverse side the Commodore Statue, Fort Meigs and a river scene. “On behalf of the City of Perrysburg, you are the first recipient of the Mayor’s Honorary Coin for Excellence,” said the mayor. Texas,” added the author. “He spent two years at UT as a Longhorn and then Cronkite dropped out. But never the less, when I say a paper collection, what we do as historians is read other peoples mail. We are going back looking at the past. So to have all of Cronkite’s correspondence, diaries, papers and photographs all in one library depository was a great boon. After that, since I am the historian for CBS, I was able to get access to all of their corporate papers, private papers of the company and then the fact that I knew Cronkite slightly– now when I say slightly, many of you know that I am from Perrysburg.” The Perrysburg native’s first encounter with Mr. Cronkite was in 1992 at a book signing for Mr. Brinkley’s first book, “Dean Acheson: The Cold Years.” “A well-heeled couple in New York threw a book party for me, my first book, and it was a big deal. I was going to autograph my book in front of people,” said the author. “And low and behold in line was Walter Cronkite–wow, I made it. The guy I used to watch every night in Perrysburg is now at my book signing. Well, he got up to the autograph desk and he said, ‘well how ya doing? I haven’t seen you since North Carolina when we went sailing with your father.’ I thought, my father doesn’t know you–he thought I was David Brinkley’s son. I was suddenly in a bit of a conundrum whether to tell him or listen to him and sign the book and let him go his way. But I eventually interrupted him because he was getting too detailed about the sailing trip. I said, ‘Mr. Cronkite, I am no relation to David Brinkley’ and he had a complete look of being shellshocked. He turned a shade of red and said, ‘oh well, I like Dean Acheson quite a bit too’ and I signed the book for him and watched him just slink out of the room.” 75¢ SINGLE COPY K9 ‘X’ becomes newest member of Perrysburg Twp. police dept. Mercy announces plans for emergency and diagnostic center in Perrysburg By Deb Buker Mercy Health System recently announced plans to open the region’s first fullservice, free-standing emergency and diagnostics center in Perrysburg. The proposed 15,000square-foot facility, to be located near the corner of State Route 25 and Eckel Junction Road, will feature 10 exam rooms, lab services and imaging services typically found in hospital settings including MRI scans, CT scans, 3D mammography, digital radiology ultrasound and Dexascan. At a press conference held at the site last week, Andrea Price, president and CEO of Mercy, welcomed guests, members of the Perrysburg business community, elected and appointed officials, healthcare experts and extended Mercy family. “This is a big day for Mercy–one that represents our conviction and our mission–to respond to communities and provide healthcare to the under served,” she said. “And we believe that today represents a significant change to Perrysburg– a change that we feel would benefit everyone here. It is exciting to know that today we are going to introduce another piece of healthcare in this community so people have access to quality healthcare but also a convenient location for them.” She told the group the new facility will offer the same level of care a patient would receive at a hospital. The new Mercy Emergency and Diagnostic Center will be staffed by board certified and board eligible emergency room physicians and a team of experienced emergency staff delivering comprehensive emergency services around the clock.

I knew him a little and about eight months before he died, I had dinner with him at this condo,” said the historian. “He did not have full-blown Alzheimer’s–he was able to talk to me about the 1930s and 40s, but yet he did not know what city he was in. It doesn’t feel right to call it an interview, but I tell you this–I got to know him some and it helped me understand his personality. He let me look at his memorabilia and things, which is helpful to do a contemporary biography.” The author reached out to the Cronkite children, who were incredibly helpful, he added. Mr. Brinkley told the group that he also does radio shows while working on a book to tell people what or whom he is writing on because people may call and tell stories or have additional information about the person or event. “I was doing the Don Imus radio show and I was called by a guy in Illinois who told me he had all of Walter Cronkite’s love letters from high school. The circumstance was that he [Mr. Cronkite] fell in love with a girl that was a junior when he graduated as a senior. She moved to Illinois with her family so he had to correspond with her– hence this great batch of love letters.” The Cronkite stories shared by the author were abundant–from his growing up years to his CBS fame covering the 1952 political Please turn to page 3➧ By Jane Maiolo There’s a new officer on duty in Perrysburg Township and although he may not be the tallest, he is certainly the youngest and fastest and can detect trouble in the air–literally. At the June 20 meeting, the Perrysburg Township trustees were formally introduced to K9 “X” who joined the department just a few weeks ago. The newest member of the department began active duty a few weeks ago after completing six weeks of intensive training in Columbus with his handler, Officer Jason Gladney. “We got a good dog, his temperament is awesome,” said Officer Gladney of his 1-year-old companion. A German shepherd from the Czech Republic, X has been busy during his first few weeks. “We had a stabbing near Evergreen apartments and did an article search,” said his handler. X also was brought in when Sergeant Matt Gazarek suspected drugs during a traffic stop. “He found 1,400 pills and one ounce of marijuana,” said Officer Gladney. The K9 has been involved in other traffic stops in which heroin, pills and marijuana were found. “He’s actually doing really well,” said his handler. Officer Gladney said X is trained in several areas. “He’s a dual purpose dog,” he explained. The K9 can assist in apprehension of a criminal. When a suspect surrenders, X will circle and contain the suspect until ordered back by Officer Gladney. The K9 also is trained in bite work and will bite down on a fleeing suspect until the suspect surrenders. “The bite is not considered deadly force. It’s somewhat like a taser,” said the officer, adding that X “bites properly.” His is a pressure bite and By Deb Buker Perrysburg City Council is expected to approve the appointments of Bridgette Kabat, city administrator, and Tim Warren, director on public utilities at its July 10 meeting. Ms. Kabat, a certified public financial officer, holds a bachelor’s of business administration degree from the University of Toledo. She currently is the chief of staff/assistant county administrator for the board of Lucas County Commissioners, a position she has held for seven years. Prior to her position as chief of staff, Ms. Kabat served the county commissioners since 1994 as assistant director of the office of management and budget, senior management/budget analyst and clerical specialist. She is a member of the Law Library Resource Board, Lucas County Children Services Board, FrontPath Health Coalition, Lucas County Tax Increment Review Council, Lucas County Architectural Control Committee and the Wabash Cannonball Corridor Committee. “Bridgette will be an exciting addition to the city’s administrative staff,” said Mayor Nelson Evans. “She comes with great financial and government budgeting experience and isn’t afraid to actually investigate different functions of government by participating in the day-to-day operations of that entity to understand its inner workings. She has great enthusiasm for the role of administrator and will provide a smooth transition for that position.

You are great,” he told them. “You offer a tremendous service. The service they provide is invaluable to the community. When you add one more critical resource, a fully staffed hospital quality emergency care center, we are going to be able to take that level up another notch. It is going to be wonderful.” Involved with Mercy Health System for more than 10 years, Dr. Goliver said he is impressed with their emergency and trauma services. “Their standards are of the utmost,” he added. “This new free standing emergency center will provide state-of-theart facilities that will allow our staff of emergency trained doctors, nurses and clinical services do what they do best–which is to save lives. “The new center will treat all levels of illness and injury whether you are one week old or 101 years old. We are here to serve you with the highest quality of care that has been synonymous with Mercy for the last 157 years–that is amazing.” The new facility is designed to be patient-friendly. It will have specialized treatment centers for trauma, cardiac resuscitation, orthopedic injury, women’s care and designated pediatric area. Patients needing to be admitted to the hospital, such as those requiring surgery or heart attack patients will be treated, stabilized and transported as appropriate. The facility has immediate access for ambulances and a helipad will be available if needed for rapid transport. “We are centering this around the patient–you are our primary cause,” said Dr. Goliver. “Finally, I would like to say this is a great day for the citizens of Perrysburg and the surrounding areas. For me personally, it is a dream come true. I am so excited to return to the Perrysburg area. It is here that I started my journey thanks to that test, and with the connection Mercy has made to Perrysburg with its life saving technology and with a highly trained staff. It is going to make Perrysburg even a better place to live.” Perrysburg Mayor Nelson Evans welcomed Mercy to the city and welcomed the return of former deputy fire chief. “Maybe we should do away with those psychological tests–we lose too many good employees,” said the mayor. “This is another component of our quality of life here in Perrysburg,” he added. “With at least 100 medic runs Perrysburg native Douglas Brinkley comes home ➧Continued from page 1 conventions, space travel and the 1960 Olympics. In 1962, Mr. Cronkite became the CBS evening news anchor. “That is the year that really brought Cronkite a step forward and we all remember the Kennedy assassination. Cronkite guided our country through that,” said Mr. Brinkley. “I traveled around and talked to people and they remembered the assassination– well, what they remembered was Walter Cronkite telling us about the assassination. He was our filter for all these events when we didn’t have so many media outlets. He was our pastor, our minister throughout those tragic times. “He guided us through Bobby Kennedy’s assassination, Martin Luther King’s assassination and the Chicago Democratic convention. The two men standing proud at the end of 1968 were Walter Cronkite and Richard Nixon.” The author also stated that Mr. Cronkite’s coverage of Neil Armstrong’s walk on the moon was his greatest performance. “Everyone was wondering what Armstrong would say on the moon but they also were wondering what Cronkite would say about what Armstrong said,” Ohio CCW July 15, 2012 Great Lakes GunWorx $100 419-754-9265 ~ 419-340-0931 OPOTA and NRA instructors A FOUNDATION OF added the author. “We all know what Armstrong said, ‘this is one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”–very powerful. And then Cronkite says those famous words–‘by golly, I’m speechless.’ “They loved him so much, by 1972 polls had him the most popular man in America and the most trusted man in America. His sign off, ‘and that’s the way it is’ with the date became known by all of us. “It was hard for a biographer to be balanced and I did. I tell hard stories about Cronkite that are true but it was very hard to find somebody who didn’t like him.” Mr. Cronkite died in 2009. At his death bed, Jimmy Buffet was playing his ukulele and singing songs to him–they were close friends, said the author. Mr. Brinkley and his family are spending a month in the Perrysburg area before heading back to Texas. What will bring the author back to his hometown again? Maybe a possible biography on Oliver Hazard Perry. each month within the city, this is going to add some extra time-saving minutes that could save the number of lives. This is a great addition to our community. Congratulations, and let’s build.” Also addressing the group, Dennis Johnson, chairman of the Mercy board of trustees, again stated it was a big day for Mercy. “However, it is a bigger day and more important day for the residents of Perrysburg and the surrounding area. “As you heard from Dr. Goliver, in cases of critical injuries and illnesses, minutes save lives. The people of Perrysburg deserve the same level of care that they are accustomed to in hospitals. They deserve to have care in their hometown. That is what guided our decision to establish this new facility–in Perrysburg there was a need, Mercy was in a perfect posi- tion to meet that need. “We are very fortunate to have a doctor of Chris Goliver’s experience and energy to lead this new venture. He has been involved with top performing emergency care services across northwestern Ohio. This facility will reflect Mercy’s long standing commitment to care and compassion. I am confident the residents of Perrysburg and the surrounding area will see a valuable community resource when we open this facility in early 2013. We think this is going to be a leading edge facility and the residents of Perrysburg are going to experience some wonderful care as a result of it.” Pending approval by the Perrysburg Planning Commission and Perrysburg City Council, groundbreaking will be scheduled in the fall with the facility opening in 2013.

Chief Brice spoke with the fire chief from Van Wert who bills for accidents. “He said it has been a good thing for them. My recommendation is that we pursue this,” he said. Trustee Gary Britten agreed, “I think it’s a good idea.” •Approved as minor changes two zoning revisions N in the Waterford subdivision. George and Sue Gusses of 30248 Waterford are adding a pergola to their home which would extend beyond the building envelope, and Michael Morant of 30179 Waterford is planning an expansion, which also exceeds the building envelope.

Last fall he and Brad Good, PTA, began instructing medical professionals across the country in continuing education courses, detailing them on this unique technology that was born here in northwest Ohio. Owners of Holiday Park Physical Rehab are currently in a joint venture in Sarasota, Florida, opening a physical therapy clinic there in early July. The Sarasota clinic will serve as an outpatient rehab clinic as well as a training facility for therapists around the country. This new technology has eliminated the need for hundreds of spinal surgeries and other invasive interventions. All of this is causing healthcare professionals to want more information, since the non-surgical treatment of spines has changed little in 40 years. •Heard from Police Chief for the bookkeeping program Perrysburg’s ONLY Mark Hetrick that members at a cost of $2,968. •Approved the purchase of the newly-formed SWAT Full Service Car Wash! team graduated from SWAT of ammunition from Sage W WE DO THE INSIDE, TOO! school recently. “The team is Control Ordnance Inc., for now fully operational,” he the SWAT team at a cost of * Carpets Vacuumed * Dashboard Cleaned * $4,034. added. •Authorized payment to •Approved an EMS/fire * Center Console Cleaned * department request for the Heatherdowns Veterinary * Windows Cleaned * purchase of a new drug cabi- Clinic of $68.56 to treat an net security lock system for injury to K9 X’s pad.

Happy 100th Birhday! Evely Vajen July 7, 2012 Best Wishes With Love om Your Family Summer evening walking tours Public forum scheduled on new offered at Woodlawn Cemetery Healthy Lake Erie Fund July 10 Summer Evening Strolls will be held on the second Thursdays of July and Au- gust, at Woodlawn Cemetery. Each tour begins at 6 p.m. and lasts approximately 90 minutes. Guides Fred Folger and Robert Lamlein will lead participants on the discovery of Toledo’s industrial pioneers. Walkers will learn about many of the cemetery’s architectural landmarks, including the area’s extensive collection of private mausoleum. Founded in 1876, Woodlawn Cemetery is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Its development paralleled the growth of Toledo for much of the late 19th and early 20th century. Although Woodlawn was considered an example of the “rural cemetery movement” when its gates first opened, the city’s expansion gradually transformed it into a quiet natural retreat well within the city limits. Historic Woodlawn Cemetery also is home to more than 300 species of trees, making it one of the finest arboretums in northwest Ohio. A public forum will be held July 10 for residents interested in learning more about Ohio’s new Healthy Lake Erie Fund with an opportunity to provide input on solutions to resolving the lake’s algae problems. State Representative Randy Gardner, sponsor of the Healthy Lake Erie Fund, will host the forum with invited guests Director Jim Zehringer of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Director David Daniels of the Ohio Department of Agriculture and Ohio EPA Director Scott Nally. “No issue is more important to the environmental and economic health of our region than protecting Lake Erie,” said Rep. Gardner. “The new Healthy Lake Erie Fund can be an important next step in helping to solve the algal bloom problems that have been getting worse in recent years. This is an opportunity for the public to become additionally involved in being part of the solution.” The forum will begin at 4 Im B I’m Back!! Contact me for a new or used vehicle.

This is a continuation of a series on the City of Perrysburg’s departments, divisions, offices and bureaus. The City of Perrysburg employs 154 individuals plus 60 seasonal employees who serve the more than 20,000 Perrysburg residents. Features will give residents the opportunity to meet city employees and learn how each job contributes to the “quality of life” in the city. Parks Bureau By Greg Kuhr Superintendent of Lands and Sanitation The Parks Bureau consists of six full-time and nine seasonal employees. The crew is responsible for the maintenance of all 11 city parks and playgrounds totaling approximately 170 acres. The staff also maintains other city properties including the municipal offices, police, fire, courts, engineering, senior center, Schaller Memorial and the public service division. Along with the mowing and trimming of these areas the crew handles roadside mowing; cleans park shelters and restrooms; plants, trims and removes trees, and cleans storm damages. The crew is a very diverse group with many talents which includes carpentry, painting, landscaping, welding and fabrication. Other responsibilities are the annual brush and leaf collection, mosquito control, holiday lighting and snow and ice removal from streets, lots and sidewalks. This past year, crews collected 716 tons of leaves and 690 tons of brush. These materials were hauled to the city compost site, processed into usable mulch and available to residents to pick up for their use. As the superintendent of the Parks Bureau, I would like to introduce the crew and highlight the years of service. Jerry Rehard is a heavy equipment operator for the parks bureau and has 36 years of service. Mr. Rehard is the senior man in the parks bureau and who we call on for painting projects. Dave Brossia is a light equipment operator for the parks with 33 years of service. Mr. Brossia is my “tree guy.” He plans to retire this month and his experience and knowledge will be missed. John Conley is a heavy equipment operator and has 17 years of service with the bureau. He is quite the welder and fabricator of the group. Jody Sheets is a light equipment operator and has 16 years of service. One of his duties is roadside mowing and he also does a lot of our tree work. Matt Bondy is a light equipment operator with 13 years of service. He is the carpenter of the crew and also is involved with the tree trimming. Justin Santchi is a light equipment operator with 12 years of service with the city. He joined the parks a couple of years ago from the refuse bureau. Mr. Santchi is multi-talented, as is the whole crew. The Parks Bureau has seasonal employees in two groups. We have early hires who start in spring with mowing and clean-up while regular employees are doing spring brush collection. Then later as the school year ends, the city hires college and high school students to fill additional needs. Jerry Sass is an 11-year seasonal employee and does the watering in the downtown streetscape and landscape beds throughout the city. He is a Chrysler retiree. Rudy Benavidez and Mike Durham are in their first season with the city. Both are retirees from Chrysler Corporation. Dante Sabo also is a first season employee has a background in the con- The City of Perrysburg Bureau of Refuse and Recycling. Standing, from left are Mike Kasza, Dan Hayes and Andy Hartman.

Andrew attends Ohio State University and Noah attends the University of Toledo. Students Spencer Brogan, Joshua Seibert and Micah Carter are first season employees. Spencer and Joshua attend Owens Community College and Micah will be attending Eastern Michigan University. Bureau of Refuse and Recycling The Bureau of Refuse and Recycling consists of nine full time employees. The bureau covers the city weekly collection of refuse and recycling. The city is divided into five collection areas with yard waste collection the same day as refuse and recycling April thru November. The men work six Saturdays each year to cover the major holidays. Last year the crews collected 6,485.75 tons of garbage and 1,422.68 tons of recyclables. They do a terrific job, especially with the adverse weather conditions they sometimes face. All crew members hold a CDL license and are capable of driving when needed. Dan Hayes is the bureau’s crew leader and truck driver. A six year employee with the city, he also worked in the water pollution control division. Tom Williams is a refuse truck driver and has 32 years of service. He is planning his retirement for August this year. Mr. Williams is very dedicated and will be missed. Mike Shuman and Andy Hartman are the other truck drivers in the bureau. Mr. Shuman is an eight year employee and Mr. Hartman a four year employee. These drivers do a great job for the city and keep fellow employees safe on the back of the trucks. Mike Kasza a seven year employee, Keith Shue a four year employee, Herman Shiffler a two year employee and Jeremy Hurst, our newest crew member with six months, are the laborers of the crew. These guys are truly The City of Perrysburg Summer Litter Crew from left Justin Mickels, Will Brundrett, Wayne Eilers, Kenzie Chalfant and Dean Mills. the muscle of the group and really do a nice job for the city. The refuse and recycling collection takes a team effort and these men do it well. Summer Litter Crew By Judy Hagen Program Coordinator for Office of Litter Prevention and Recycling The summer litter crew does much more than pick up litter along the roadside and on public property. The work season begins when spring arrives. The first two members of the crew start with spring cleanup of flower beds. They are joined by volunteer Adopt-A-Spot groups for the Great American Cleanup to clean litter from their adopted areas and to spring clean. The other members of the crew are students. During the growing season of May through the September, the city crews tend to all the plantings/landscape at city buildings which includes municipal courthouse, municipal building and city buildings across Indiana Avenue including the fire division, senior center, Schaller building and engineering. In the downtown area, they make certain the streetscape and three downtown parking lots are ready for Farmers Market and First Friday activities. A member of the crew, Jerry Sass, daily waters all the hanging baskets that line the downtown business district and waters the flower pots at Louisiana dock and the municipal building. The crew also plants and maintains the landscape plantings at the 11 city parks. This year the crew has the new maintenance responsibility of the Roachton Road boulevard and Michael Owens Way. The crew applies mulch to all plantings to help prevent weed growth and retain moisture. Last year, the crew applied 33 dump trucks of mulch to all the plantings/landscape they maintain. This mulch was made from the spring city brush collection and other branches dropped off by residents at the city compost site. When the weather gets hot, the crew places the tree watering bags at all the new trees planted in fall 2011 and spring 2012. Staff includes: Wayne Eilers, crew leader, second year with the city; Justin Mickels, summer employee; McKenzie Chalfant, Perrysburg resident and sophomore at Defiance College; Will Brundrett, Perrysburg High School graduate who will begin his second year at the University of Cincinnati, and Dean Mills, PHS graduate who will be a freshman at University of Toledo this fall.

The event was chaired by Heather Toner and based on an original concept by her when her daughter, Calista Toner, suggested they work on an event together to benefit the Toledo Opera. Ms. Toner, Calista and her peers, Wendy Kromer-Schell and the guild were honored for their efforts in a Proclamation by Toledo Mayor Michael Bell.

Doug Grosjean, local whitewater kayaker, photographer and author, will recount the adventure of a life time–rafting the Grand Canyon–in a special talk at Way Public Library on Monday, July 9, at 7 p.m. Mr. Grosjean basically lived in the Canyon for three weeks on this rafting trip along the Colorado River. Rafters brought their own equipment–sleeping bag, tent, boating gear, personal items, and other gear. He will talk about his 280mile trip through the Canyon. His group consisted of men and women of various outdoor abilities, all comfortable in big whitewater. Mr. Grosjean was enlisted to row one of the support rafts–which carried food and camping gear–due to his kayaking background, whitewater experience, and rescue training. The only catch? He had never rowed a raft, and learned in the canyon itself, on the highest flows in 10 years. Mr. Grosjean will discuss canyon history, geology, boating and hiking. His talk will include visual photography, drawings and gear. This presentation is free, and refreshments will be served.

Over the past 15 years, the Relay has raised more than $900,000. Sixty percent of the money stays in Wood County to assist cancer patients. It also is used for prevention, early detection and programming. The remaining 40 percent goes toward cancer research. The theme for this year was “Harbors of Hope” with the survivor area theme of “Keep Hope Sailing.” Participants enjoyed an evening of entertainment, activities, refreshments and a very special luminary ceremony. Opening ceremonies kicked-off the 17-hour event with a survivor and caregiver lap followed by a team lap. “At the American Cancer Society, we are working to create a world with more birthdays–where cancer never steals another year from anyone’s life,” said Lindsay Eaton, ACS Perrysburg development coordinator. “With your help we are not just fighting one type of cancer, we’re fighting for every birthday threatened by every cancer in every community.” To make a donation or for additional information on the American Cancer Society and activities, contact Ms. Eaton at 888-227-6446 extension 5216 or send an e-mail to [email protected].

Recently, six Pekin ducks were abandoned at Three Meadows Pond to fend for themselves. Pekin ducks are not wild ducks. Outside a commercial setting, the Pekin duck is becoming viewed as a pet. The friendly nature of the bird and its non-aggressive temperament means that when raised from a youngster, it will respond to its owner. As a pet, the Pekin duck can live as long as 12 years. Some care needs to be taken as most Pekin ducks are incapable of flight. Also they love water, but may require assistance out of the water in the form of a ramp. With the help of Perrysburg Animal Control Officer Jeff Studer and city staff, duck advocate Kelly Meister was able to rescue the ducks and find a safe home environment for them. “The poor creatures were terrified of everything and everyone and had no idea how to survive on their own,” said Ms. Meister. “If you absolutely cannot care for that animal, please contact the humane society. Better yet, don’t get any animal that you are not prepared to take care of for its entire lifetime.” Pictured from left, are city staff Justin Mickels, Wayne Ellers, Dean Mills and McKenzie Chalfant, and Ms. Meister.

This photo was taken on the front pad of the first of 22 containers to create Missions International of America’s (MIA) new Ron Meier Farm Resource Center in Savanette, Haiti. The 3,200-square-foot conference center will be surrounded by 18, 40-foot containers designed to provide housing for 136 visiting farmers, students, missionaries and staff. The facility includes 18 bathroom/shower units. Pictured from left, standing, are Boomba, Angemange, MIA founders Jan and Dr. Jay Nielsen, Cheribin, Ermso and Asson. Kneeling from left are Claude and a volunteer worker. Journal readers around the world Missions International of America to create the Ron Meier Farm Resource Center “‘Arrival of Ravens’ expresses the freedom, beauty and mystery wild ravens command in our world,” said Gerry Brock, creator of the handmade paper art ravens. The armatures are made from wire mesh, then covered with a base of recycled paper. That is followed by handmade paper from Abaca pulp and beaten in a Hollander beater for three hours. The pulp is colored with black iridescent pigment and then sheets are made and pressed. The sheets are placed on the armatures and dried. Perrysburg resident Dr. Jay Nielsen, cofounder and president of Missions International of America (MIA), said 2011 was an exciting year for the organization. MIA, founded in 2002 by Dr. Nielsen and his wife Jan, is a 501(c)3 organization with a goal to provide medical care, education, microeconomy and basic supplies to the people of Haiti. “Who thought five years ago when we opened the Brad Reddick School in that dry, hopeless desert that we would now have 55 Hire a Haitian men and 47 bead ladies making a living wage in Savanette?” he stated. “There are about 300 students in the school, and we have graduated two sixthgrade classes. After 10 years of work on infrastructure, we have two wells–soon to be four–and 30 gallons of clean water–more than 7,000 feet of mainline and 12,000 feet of distribution water pipe. By February, 2013, we’ll have 60 family gardens, two acres of research gardens and 360 rabbit cages in the community.” Dr. Nielsen recently announced that a small insurance policy to honor the life of Ron Meier, who passed away in July, has been committed to the creation of the Ron Meier Farm Resource Center. The 3.3-acre center will utilize containers to surround the property which will include a guest house and conference center. The center will allow for many new agricultural projects, he added. “We are pending a grant from E.C.H.O. to make the Ron Meier Farm Resource Center the training center for agriculture in southeast Haiti,” said the founder. “The guest house will decrease team expenses, allow for more work hours and provide more opportunities for connection with community members.” MIA is proud of what has been accomplished over the years, but Dr. Nielsen said there is more work to be done. “Each $10,000 will add a well, well head and mile of pipe providing water for 60 family gardens and rabbit systems,” he explained. “It is amazing to think that using the solar panels provided by First Solar, this investment could provide $1,600 in income a year to each of the 60 families for 25 years–a $2.4 million return. “A friend suggested we rename MIA ‘Just Add Water’ at one time. It seems to be true. In the next few years, we pray and are working diligently toward independence for the people of Savanette. We expect all our teachers to be graduates of the Brad Reddick School in a few years. “We have tried to be good stewards of your generous support over the years. None of this would be possible without your commitment and we are grateful.” Dr. Nielsen added that he is available to speak on MIA to area groups and businesses. MIA Current Projects Brad Reddick School- Savanette–This nine room school opened in 2006 with 170 students and most recently served 300 students in kindergarten through sixth grade. All children are fed daily using the Consolidated Biscuit bakery oven. The school is named after the late Mr. Reddick, father, coach, Christian educator and beloved member of the Perrysburg community. The school is operated by Amoce Amazan, MIA’s island coordinator. There are ten teachers and an administrator. Water Project-Savanette– MIA hopes to bury six miles of water pipe in the desert. To date 7,000 feet of three-inch main line and 13 water stands for bathing, drinking and gardening has been completed. First Solar donated 300 solar panels. The first few dozen have powered four solar pumps, several orphanages as well as providing cost free water from 200 feet below the desert. Farm Resource Center: Using ECHO and Hope Seed, two acres of seed production is in place and irrigated. Two hundred Artemesia plants are growing for replication to treat malaria and import market product as an herbal to the United States. In December 2011, MIA purchased 3.3 acres of land across the road from the school. Twenty-six, 40-foot shipping containers from Port au Prince surround the land and create a new guesthouse in Savanette. With the upcoming grant from ECHO, the center may be the southwest Haiti agricultural training center, providing weekly training for farmers from a fourth of Haiti. The demonstration gardens are for training in agricultural techniques and to determine what plants grow best in local soils. Community Gardens– Drip irrigation was installed in 18 community gardens in 2011; 42 more are planned in 2012. Wire and waterers for 360 rabbit cages are in place for 60 families to provide family consumption and market sale for income. CENEAH Orphanage– One half mile north of the school is an orphanage with 40 children who attend the Brad Reddick School. MIA assists with education, clothes, provide medical care and supports nutrition. Medical Clinics–Students and the public are seen in the MIA medical clinic across the road from the school. Dental and optical clinics are planned when staff is available for trips. August Benefit; Perrysburg–Each August, MIA holds a fund-raiser, “Helping Hands for Haiti,” at Grace United Methodist Church. It features bands, performances, silent auction, competitions and displays to support the school. One hundred dollars provides tuition, shoes, uniforms, books and food for a child for one year. This year’s event is scheduled Sunday, August 12, from 2 to 8 p.m. Circle of Life–MIA jewelry project employs 42 women and five men who make bracelets, handbags, quilling and other items from recycled magazine pages and other supplies. The group is constantly looking at new projects to add to their product line. Each participant has made approximately $400 each year–more than the annual income of the average Haitian. These women have never had an opportunity to help feed their families before this.

Right, Valerie French demonstrates torn paper landscaping. Perrysburg’s first ever ‘cash mob’ takes place The first ever Perrysburg “cash mob” recently took place, and according to organizer J.D. Justus it was a success. The purpose of a cash mob is for community members to join together and support local businesses. The concept is simple–with $20 in hand, members of a community come together to shop in a locally-owned establishment to support a favorite local business and the area economy, he said. Community members gathered at the corner of West Second Street and Louisiana Avenue to find out the designated businesses for the first cash mob by the “funny dressed” lady–aka Mary Ann Woolley. The businesses were Mills Hardware and Artforms. Also, entertaining the crowd was the Quartet Bernadette Trio. “It is time to help our small businesses who have been there for us all these years,” said Mr. Justus, adding that another cash mob is planned for later this summer. The C-SPAN Campaign 2012 bus, in partnership with Buckeye Cablesystem, made a stop at Way Public Library last week on its “Road to the White House” tour, named after C-SPAN’s signature political program. The Campaign 2012 bus travels the country to promote and enhance C-SPAN’s extensive resources and political coverage by stopping at major political events such as candidate debates and speeches in early primary states and meeting with voters on the campaign trail. Additionally, the bus will tour state capitals, visit community events, and host students and treachers around the nation, giving them an inside look at C-SPAN’s comprehensive educational and political resources. The bus also made a stop at Owens Community College. ± Tell Them You Saw It In The Journal PERRYSBURG MESSENGER JOURNAL )DP LO\) ULHQG O\(Y >QKSQ;MLTIS _Q\P HQW Journal readers are everywhere Journal readers are everywhere From there to here, from here to there, Journal readers are everywhere.

Gary Hinkson of Perrysburg, and his daughter Lauren, assistant curator of collections at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Perrysburg High School graduate, took the Perrysburg Messenger-Journal with them to Rome, Italy in early February. Mr. Hinkson was attending the opening of his daughter’s curated show, “Guggenheim Collection: The American Avant-Garde 1945–1980”, which includes works by Pollock, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Dan Flavin, Robert Bechtle, Richard Estes, and many others. Showcasing more than 60 exemplary works from the museum’s permanent collection, Ms. Hinkson show traces the key upheavals in art during the decades after World War II and highlights the often radical challenges to traditional notions of art and art making that emerged during the period. “The exhibition is being shown in Rome’s historic Palazzo delle Esposizioni in the heart of Rome, and runs through May 6,” said Mr. Hinkson. “An interesting experience we had while in Rome, was observing snow floating down from the Oculus opening in the dome of the world famous Pantheon,” he said, adding that this was the first measurable snow in more than 30 years in Rome.
