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.

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.

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 Regatta Inn was just opened in late 2014.

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! Check out our Put-in-Bay Edition Volume XLII...
