Spring Has Sprung In A Beautiful
Environment To Building Growth
FROM THE
COACH’S DESK
by Arnold Sutter
To be honest, it has been a “tough road to hoe”!!!
It has almost been a survival of the fittest, most
patient, and hardest working building/construction
for the teams in the Western Basin Toledo region.
We want to thank the commercial contractors (HPH
Mechanical Contractors & Development, Westfield
Electric, Shepherd’s Shoreline Construction, and
Frontz Drilling) for their cover feature in Volume
42. Spring has great new building projects all over
the Western Basin Toledo Region. For the first time
in five years, we have our four covers filled for the
(Volume 44). THANKS to all the subcontractors,
suppliers, and business partners of these fine cover
story businesses! It takes a quality team to survive
the tough times! 2015. Thanks to all the businesses who sponsored
the colorful exciting “end of the season on PIB”!!!
We are planning on doing this again at the end of
2015!!! We are featuring MARBLEHEAD ESTATES
AND YACHT CLUB, WAYNE HOMES, and the
personable real estate agent, KARMEN LUCAS
(Howard Hanna) as our spring issue (Volume 43).
We are also honored for the third time in 15 years
featuring DECKER HOMES as our summer issue
Detroit
Thanks to all the businesses who value a verbal
agreement on the phone on deadline days, a
handshake, and a solid commitment to support the
Western Basin Toledo building/constracting teams.
Earth (geothermal), Wind (turbines), and Fire
(solar) again to be keys to our magazine’s future!
“Net zero” and “micro-gridding” are just a couple
of the new technology strategies taking shape in
our region. Thanks to our staff, Bob Younker (administrative
assistant), Melissa Barber (graphic and web
designer), and our new addition Judi Halstead
(Integrity Productions), who will be focussing on
the Lakeside / Marblehead / Port Clinton / Sandusky
areas. It is an exciting time to bring you our 19th
year of high quality print media
coverage—a tough thing to throw
away!

Over 40 Years of Building Custom Homes and Partnerships.
By Madison Byers
For over 40 years, Wayne Homes has been
working to perfect the custom on-your-lot
homebuilding process. Our step-by-step
system was developed to make the custom
homebuilding experience what it should
be- predictable and enjoyable. We have over
40 fully-customizable floorplans and a team
dedicated to getting to know our customers
and what they really, truly want in their dream
home. We guide each customer through every
stage of the process and back our work with an
industry-leading warranty. It’s this approach to
homebuilding that has led us to be one of
the only homebuilders in the country to win
The National Housing Quality Award twice.
One of the most important tools we use is
our Personal Value List. Your New Home
Consultant helps you compile a list of all the
features that will make you smile every time you
walk through the door. Maybe you’re dreaming
of a deck overlooking the lake, a beautiful stone
fireplace or a comfortable space to entertain
family and friends. We want to help make your
ideas a reality. And since customization is our
specialty, you’ll usually get more than you ever
thought possible.
It’s never too early to stop into one of our nine
Model Home Centers to learn more about
Wayne Homes and the custom homebuilding
process. You don’t have to know where you
6
want to live, have your land purchased or your
financing decided. After being in business as
long as we have, we’ve establish long-lasting
partnerships with experts in all these areas.
The professionals we work with value the
Wayne Homes building process and share our
commitment to our customers’ experiences.
As an on-your-lot homebuilder, Wayne Homes
doesn’t restrict where you build. Your dream
home can have any setting you choose. If you’re
interested in a neighborhood community,
Wayne Homes is the recommended builder in
several developments including Marblehead
Estates, Emerald Shores, Village Hill Estates
and the Willow Lake subdivision.
Western Basin-Toledo Magazine
WAY 150465 WBM_Advertorial_M1.indd All Pages
Marblehead Estates is a gated community
with beautiful waterfront lots. The subdivision has a clubhouse with a fitness center
and community pool. Emerald Shores also has
waterfront lots available and is an ideal
setting for a vacation home or year-round
living. Nestled in a small, well-connected
community is Village Hill Estates. The
subdivision has spacious lots that are close to
schools and not far from amenities in Sandusky. If you’re looking in the Perkins Local
School District, then you may want to look in
the Willow Lake subdivision. This subdivision
is in a desirable area near great attractions.
If you prefer to be further from the hustle and
bustle, we have preferred Realtors who can help
you find plots of land with more privacy than
a subdivision may offer or in the neighborhood
you want. Not only are our Realtors
knowledgeable about the areas in which they
serve; they can help you sell your current home.
Once you have found the perfect setting for your
home, we’ll provide a complimentary home site
evaluation. If you want a better idea of what to
expect before you buy your property or you want
recommendations for how to position your home
to take advantage of the view, our knowledgeable
team will help ensure it’s a location you’re happy
with for years to come.
Our preferred lender, Home Savings & Loan,
can assist you in deciding how much you can
afford and which type of loan is best for you.
Building a custom home on your own home site
presents special challenges to mortgage lenders.
That’s why we carefully selected Home Savings
& Loan as our preferred lender. Their loan
specialists have worked with many Wayne Homes
customers to simplify the lending process and
help provide a seamless home buying experience.
We know building a custom home is one of the
biggest decisions a family will make. But when
we say we will help you through every step of
the process, we mean it.
When we hand over the keys to our customers’
new home, we don’t see it as the end of our
relationship. Our Wayne Home Warranty
Program is a promise of our continued
dedication. Both our warranties, a two-year Fit
and Finish Warranty and a 10-year Structural
Warranty, isn’t just a commitment to our
customers- we know it’s peace of mind.
We invite you to stop by our Sandusky Model
Center in Milan, OH to tour our beautiful
Gettysburg model and meet our friendly
and professional team. To learn more about
Wayne Homes, visit WayneHomes.com.

You’ll love your
new custom staircase.
Your kids will love their new jungle gym.
Kohen Cline of Celina, Ohio,
demonstrates the ups and downs
of a custom staircase.
Customization isn’t just about fixtures, finishes and personal taste.
It’s about how you’ll live. Since 1973 we’ve built thousands of homes
for thousands of families on their own land. And none of our homes are
ever created the same. Because none of our families are.

Spring View Bed and Breakfast
A Picturesque Setting in the Rolling Hills
of Indiana’s Amish Country

Amish pastry was awesome and the walk
around the beautiful picturesque pond was
inviting to the Northern Ohio/Northern
German visitors returning to the northern
latitudes after a few weeks in Florida and
South Carolina.
Spring View is newly constructed and
especially designed to be a bed & breakfast.
Every effort has been made for their guest
to enjoy a quiet, comfortable and relaxing
atmosphere. You can stroll around their
waterfront or rest in the gentle breeze to enjoy the
view of the screened lakeside sitting room. Walk the
quiet trail on their spacious 48 acres. It’s the perfect
country getaway for yourself, as a couple, or with
friends.
Located only a little over an hour from Toledo is
this beautiful farm-home of in the heart of Indiana’s
Amish/Mennonite heritage. This was my second visit
to this beautiful bed and breakfast! Remembering
the fantastic empathetic treatment for each visitor, I
knew a German friend would love the midwestern
America hospitality of Rox and Phil. We arrived late
in the evening, but a small evening snack was just
what was needed. The morning breakfast of warm

NATURE &
RECREATION I
Marsh’s Edge & Regatta Inn
Two Beautiful Bed and Breakfasts in
Historic Folly Beach, South Carolina
by Arnold Sutter
day on Folly’s!
Last year my two nights at the Marsh’s Edge
was simply delightful!! The southern hospitality of
the Water’s Edge staff was incredible. The owner of
both bed and breakfasts was extremely welcoming
to this Northern Great Lakes retired educator
and publisher of a Builder/Architect/Contractor
Magazine.
This was my eighth year to travel through
the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and enjoy
the trip through North Carolina’s Lake Norman
and head for the coast towards Charleston, South
Carolina. This can be challenging for even the
North Carolinian but once arriving on the South
Carolina coast—wow what a delight! Even in mid
January, one can happen upon a 70 degree beach
from a walk on the beach to watch the sun rise! The
rooms are elegant, the breakfasts were awesome,
and the fellowship of meeting others enjoying the
South Carolina low country were very memorable!!!
Be sure you book your stay by calling (843)
588-0101 or check out their website at www.
regattainnfollybeach.com.
You have to understand some history of Folly
Beach and the low counties of South Carolina to
truly appreciate the present lifestyle! This area is
off the beaten path of Charleston, South Carolina.
Back in the 1960’s it was a place for many “hippies”
of the South to enjoy their lifestyle away from the
hustle bustle of Charleston, Hilton Head, South
Carolina, and Savannah Georgia.

THE BUILDING
OF HISTORY I
National Museum of the Great Lakes
A Family Friendly Trip Through Maritime
History
by Warren DeWitt
Okay folks, this brand new
Maritime Museum in Toledo,
Ohio, is a sleeper. No, not like
“yawn,” but like “wow,” this is all
pretty cool. It was nothing like I
expected. The first thing you see
is one very impressive, huge boat
tied up at the dock; like seeing
a humongous old Buick from
the 80’s. It was beautiful. Green
and orange, a giant creation of
iron and steel, built to haul an
immense load of iron ore or coal,
or store all of Donald Trump’s money. Next to the ship is a
brand new, nicely designed museum building, with a huge
ship’s propeller mounted on display at the entrance. The
interior is also impressive, with the exhibits connected by
a maze of curving walls.
I expected to see stories and pictures of ships. There
is so much more. Models of the five lakes show their
comparative sizes, with accurate contour lines to indicate
the depth of each lake (Lake Superior is the deepest at
1,325 feet). The Great Lakes hold more fresh water than
any other place on Earth.
It’s only natural that enterprising humans have found
a way to navigate this vast area of water to their advantage.
Unfortunately, due to mechanical error, or human error,
ships sink. The museum extensively illustrates these
shipwrecks. Over 800 have been identified, and the
number is assumed to be much higher than that.
The immense size of the Great Lakes has a profound
effect on the weather, and many shipwrecks have been
caused by storms. The Edmond Fitzgerald, an iron ore
freighter and the largest ship to ever go down in the Great
Lakes, sank after being caught in a November gale near
Whitefish Point on Lake Superior.
The Edmond Fitzgerald’s home port was Toledo, Ohio.
Like many of the Great Lakes freighters, it was docked at
or very near where this museum is situated. During the
industrial revolution, these ships unloaded iron ore and
loaded coal in Toledo, making the city an integral part
of the industrial boom. The museum highlights stories
about the impact of industry and commerce on the upper
Midwest’s economy, and shows how the future of the area
was shaped by the hard working men and women here.
One of the most interesting topics covered by the
museum is a story about WWII aircraft carriers on
Lake Michigan. In order to prevent enemy submarines
from sinking our aircraft carriers in the ocean, two old
steamships were converted to carriers. Navy pilots, like
George H.W. Bush, learned to take off and land on the
decks of the USS Wolverine and the USS Sable.
Several displays focus
on events in Europe that
influenced the Great Lakes
region and how, over several
centuries,
these
events
impacted the lives of Native
American tribes in the area.
There are plenty of handson activities for children to see and do. Overall, the exhibits
bring back things we adults have learned in the past and
give our children a chance to experience education at its
best. Mark this museum as a must-see.
While you’re in the area, consider visiting several
other interesting places, such as Ft. Meigs in Perrysburg,
and the “Battle of the River Raisin” site in Monroe,
Michigan. As you travel east from Toledo, you can visit
marshes filled with a wide variety of birds. Follow the birds
to Port Clinton, where fishing boats return from Lake
Erie, filled with Walleye. To the east is Catawba Island,
a hilly peninsula with grape vineyards and a nice sandy
beach at East Harbor State Park. The beautiful Marblehead
Lighthouse is also here. From Catawba Island, you could
almost swim to Put-in-Bay, but the ferry would be much
faster. Heading south, you can visit Fremont, home of
Rutherford B. Hayes, the 19th President of the United
States. Fort Stephenson is also in the area, where, during
the War of 1812, the Americans defeated a much larger
British and Native American force. Travel northeast to
Sandusky and visit Cedar Point amusement park on Lake
Erie, home of giant roller coasters.
By now, it’s time to give your GPS a rest. Enjoy your
travels.

Key Largo Fisheries
An Incredible Key Largo, Florida Fishing
Community Along Highway 1
THE BUILDING
OF HISTORY II
by Arnold Sutter
The Gulfstream Party Fishing Boat service and
Captain Chan were introduced to me at the same
time as my meeting the Hills (Rick and Tom). What
a great business partnership here on the Atlantic
side of Highway 1 in Key Largo. Learning to catch
yellowtail and then having Mrs. Mac’s Kitchen
prepare them with all the “fixins” was a great
experience I would recommend to all fishermen
and fish lovers!
As the old saying goes—When one door closes
another window is opened—with the right attitude!
As my 8th year of the Hillbilly Coach’s Southern
Tour reaches its midpoint, one of my favorite spots in
the Florida Keys changed management and direction!
I decided to ease off Highway 1 and head to the ocean.
I found one of the hardest working brother teams (The
Hills) and the captain of the Gulfstream Party Fishing
Boat- who also was known for his “doubles”—two 8
hour trips per day in the sport-fishing waters off the
Atlantic side of the historic Key Largo, Florida. Divine
intervention is the foundation of why the Hill family
business is still providing the state of Florida and many
parts of the world with great salt water delicacies!
In 1972, the business perspective for Key Largo
Fisheries was not good; a fishing boat in a financial
crisis, a slow down in the mackerel demand, and a
family not all that unified how to remedy the situation.
Rick Hill turned to his father and said, “It is all up to
Him”, the man upstairs is in charge—I have lost faith in
what I can do! The rest is history!
Just watching the Hills operate for four days was
a venture in love for service!! Even other members of
the family were diligently working at their respective
roles in the business. The millions of pounds of fresh
mahi mahi, lobster, and yellowtail were just a few of the
varieties of delicacies sent all over Florida and to resorts
in the southern United States. Keeping them fresh was
extremely interesting—different temperatures below 0
were needed to make sure the freshness was as close to
perfect as possible!
