Woodland principal selected as
PJHS hosts ‘International Educator Night’ with teachers from 17 countries Rossford Schools superintendent
‘The World is Our Classroom’
Students, staff and community members had the opportunity last Wednesday to visit with 20 international teachers at Perrysburg Junior
High School’s “International Educator Night.” Left, Perrysburg Junior High sixth-grade student Zach Shultz asked South African teacher
Erica Van Lingen, “Who was the first democratically elected president of South Africa?” At right, students Andrew Lease and Carey Gray
participated in an international scavenger hunt to learn more about each country. Students are pictured with Panama science teacher Gregorio Montuto.
Left, Bolivian English teacher Charo Jose Dorado talks to Ayli and Arielle Moehling about native costumes. Right, students Lexi Stroble
and Sarah Murdock learn about Kazakhstan from teacher Gulnar Abileva.
Why do Russians never
shake hands over a doorway? Which was invented in
Estonia–skype or qr code?
Who was the first democratically elected president of
South Africa?
Perrysburg Junior High
School students received
first hand answers to those
questions last week at
“International Educator
Night” hosted by PJHS.
Twenty international sci-
ence and English teachers
from 17 countries shared
their cultures with students,
staff and community members.
“We were very pleased
with the opportunity to bring
such a diverse group of professional educators to Perrysburg Junior High,” said
Bill Hilt, PJHS social studies teacher. “It’s a bit unusual for students and the community to have a chance to
interact directly with such a
large varied group. And they
will remember this experience. It is so valuable when
we can make learning so
personal. Kids may have
trouble remembering what
they read about other cultures, but when they get a
chance to have a conversation with someone from
Nepal, Jordan or Estonia
they remember and often
they are curious to learn
even more.”
Through a federal grant,
the Bowling Green State
University International
Democratic Education Institute (IDEI) welcomed the 20
secondary school teachers
from February 1 through
March 18.
The Teaching Excellence
and Achievement (TEA)
Program brings these teachers to the United States to
further develop expertise in
their subject areas, enhance
their teaching skills and
increase their knowledge
about the United States.
The goals of the TEA
program are to:
•Build lasting relationships that promote international understanding and
collaboration between the
U.S. and international teachers and students.
•Provide pre-service and

Strides kick-off breakfast prepares for ACS annual walk
By Beth Church
One in two women
newly-diagnosed with breast
cancer turns to the American
Cancer Society for help.
“That’s half of all
women, reaching out to us,
when they first hear they
have breast cancer,” said
Lissa Guyton, news reporter
for TV13 ABC and member
of the ACS board of directors.
“That’s an incredible
responsibility that the American Cancer Society has
earned through nearly 100
years of leading the fight
against cancer.”
Ms. Guyton was the
emcee for the March 9 kickoff breakfast of this year’s
Making Strides Against
Breast Cancer walk, hosted
by the American Cancer
Society.
The walk will take place
at 9:30 a.m., Saturday, May
11, at the Town Center at
Levis Commons.
Ms. Guyton noted that
Strides participants have
many reasons for supporting
the event.
She explained that her
father died of colon cancer
when she was 9 years old,
and her sister recently
passed away from breast
cancer.
“Someone you love has
cancer and she’s a survivor.
Or maybe you’re here to
remember someone you’ve
lost.
“You want to be part of
something great–something
even greater and bigger than
yourself.
“Maybe you want to be
part of a team that makes a
difference in the fight
against breast cancer.”
The kick-off breakfast
honored many local breast
cancer survivors and their
caregivers.
“Let’s recognize all of
those in the room this morning who are the living proof
that we’re making great
strides toward a cure,” she
said.
Kathleen Walsh of Rossford noted that she is
“relieved to say that I’m a
breast cancer survivor.”
She was diagnosed in
August 2011 and endured
eight rounds of chemotherapy and then radiation.
“I’m really joyful,” she
added.
She is participating in
Strides “to bring awareness
and to bring hope to those
who are just starting this
journey.”
Mrs. Walsh thanked ACS
for its support during her
year-long treatment.
“Now I look around and
wonder who’s next. All our
hearts are heavy while there
is no cure,” she said.
“I’m here today because
I’m a wife, a daughter, a sister, an aunt and a mom. I
want a world where they’ll
never have to hear they have
cancer.”
Ms. Guyton noted that
even minimal fund-raising
efforts by volunteers can
make a difference for cancer
patients.
Sending 13 e-mail messages to friends asking for a
$10 donation can raise
enough to pay for a wig for a
woman who has lost her
hair.
An office bake sale that
raises $150 equals a one
night stay at Hope Lodge for
a patient who needs to stay
overnight for treatment in
Cleveland or Cincinnati.
Raising $2,000 can pay
for the supplies, space and
manpower necessary for one
week of breast cancer
research.
“The very research that
continues to uncover treatments and will one day help

London of Bowling Green.
us end breast cancer,” Ms.
Guyton added.
Bob Thompson of the
Thompson-Williams-Donahue Group at Merrill Lynch
explained why he has been
involved in 10 years of fundraising for ACS.
“Silence doesn’t start a
fight and it doesn’t finish a
fight,” he said.
Two of three women
diagnosed with cancer
become survivors, “but we’d
prefer three out of three,” he
added. “So this organization
can celebrate life.”
Co-chairwomen of the
Strides walk are Bridgett
Roost of Perrysburg and
Rachael London of Bowling
Green.
“It’s a great cause,” said
Ms. Roost, who also serves
as president of the Lucas
County American Cancer
Society board.
Her involvement with the
event is based on “a lot of
personal connections to people with cancer.”

Woodland Elementary
School Principal Dan
Creps has been selected as
the next superintendent of
Rossford Schools.
Mr. Creps, a Rossford
native will take over for
interim superintendent Bill
McFarland, as of April 1.
Rossford Board of Education President Dawn
Burks said the board is
“tremendously pleased”
with its choice.
“It was a difficult decision,” she said. “Our two
finalists were both very
well-received by the staff
and community during
their interviews.”
After the board narrowed the candidates to
two, Mr. Creps was selected last week over Deborah
Piotrowski, a Toledo
native who has served as
superintendent of Xenia
Community City Schools
since July 2010.
“Dan made a great connection with the board and
is looking forward to
becoming superintendent
in the community where
he grew up,” said Ms.
Burks, who also is a guidance counselor at Perrysburg High School.
The school board
planned to officially vote
on Mr. Creps’ appointment
and introduce him at a
meeting Monday evening.
Mr. Creps, a Rossford
High School graduate, has
served since 2007 as principal of Woodland Elementary, and previously as
principal of Sylvan Elementary and assistant principal of Arbor Hills Junior
High, both in Sylvania.
He also was a math
teacher at Timberstone
Junior High in Sylvania
from 1999 to 2003, and
teacher at Whiteford Elementary in Sylvania from
1994 to 1999.
He earned a bachelor’s
degree in education from
Wittenberg University,
master’s of education from
the University of Toledo
and superintendent license
from the University of
Findlay.
Now in his sixth year as
a Perrysburg principal, Mr.
Creps said his experience
has included curriculum
development, Common
Core standards, labor
negotiations, and shortand long-range planning.
At Perrysburg, Mr.
Creps has been part of the
Ohio Improvement Plan
for schools and the Race to
the Top program. He
helped the district establish goals for reading and
math and created a plan to
accomplish those goals.
Student achievement is
his primary focus, he said,
and he would talk with
administrators and teachers for “a solid understanding of where our students
are now and where they
need to go.”
Along with new grade
configurations at the elementary buildings, the new
superintendent said students must be prepared for
Rossford native Dan Creps, who describes himself as
“a hometown boy with a worldwide view” will become
the Rossford Schools superintendent April 1.
the new state testing and
assessments under the
Common Core standards.
Also, the teacher evaluation system will be
changing, and the school
report card system will
now be ranked from A to F
instead of Excellent to
Academic Emergency.
In addition, student
learning objectives need to
be developed, and Mr.
Creps already has been
discussing these with educators in Anthony Wayne,
Sylvania and Maumee.
He described himself as
“a hometown boy with a
worldwide view.”
He believes Rossford
students should be taught
“21st century skills” to
prepare them for their
careers.
Mr. Creps, his wife and
their children live in Perrysburg Township.
Penta Career Center receives Ohio
Association of Senior Centers award
By Jane Maiolo
Penta Career Center
received recognition from
the Ohio Association of
Senior Centers (OASC).
At the March 13 meeting, Superintendent Ron
Matter said the school was
presented with OASC’s
partnership award for its
work with senior citizens
in the community.
“We’re really excited to
get this award,” he said.
The district was nominated for the honor by
Denise Niese, executive
director of the Wood County Committee on Aging.
“She nominated Penta
for our partnerships on a
number of projects,” he
explained.
For the past several
years, the career center’s
auto technology program
has hosted “Car Fit,” a car
safety inspection for
mature drivers. The event
is held in collaboration
with the Wood County
Committee on Aging and
the AARP.
Additionally, Penta’s
culinary program has
worked with several senior
centers in Wood County,
preparing meals and pastries.
“They make specially
prepared meals for older
adults,” said the superintendent.
Other programs including hair design, medical
technologies and floral
have provided services to
seniors at special events
over the past few years, he
added.
In addition to Mr. Matter, accepting the award on
Penta’s behalf were Steve
Davis, automotive technology instructor, and Chef
Jim Rhegness, culinary arts
instructor.
Retirements
For the second month in
a row, the board accepted a
number of personnel retirements.
“We have a number of
retirements again this
month,” said Mr. Matter.
Retiring are Beverly
Bonnough, instructional
aide; Keith Haig, adult
education, heating, ventilation and air conditioning;
Vera Leo, math; Julie
Newby, English, and Mary
Earlier this month the career center received the partnership award at the Ohio Association of Senior Centers’ annual spring conference. Denise Niese, far left, of the Wood
County Committee on Aging nominated Penta for the award. She is joined by, from left,
Chef Jim Rhegness, instructor of culinary arts; Steve Davis, instructor of automotive
technology; Penta Superintendent Ronald Matter; Danielle Brogley, Wood County Committee on Aging, and Dave Bibler, president of the OASC.
Jill Toepfer, all effective
May 31.
Also retiring are Starla
Eisenmann, technology
specialist, effective June
30 and Debra Kelly, marketing education, effective
October 31.
Changes in the state
teachers retirement system
prompted the seven
instructors to retire. Last
month,
the
district
announced the retirements
of nine other teaching professionals.
Mr. Matter said the
seven teachers will be
missed. “Combined they
have 168 years at Penta,”
and he noted that with last
month’s retirements, the
district will be looking at
373 years of experience
“walking out” at the conclusion of the school year.
“That’s a lot of good
experience and will be
hard to replace,” he added.
Culinary Awards
Students in the culinary
arts program earned
awards at the Ohio
ProStart Invitational in
February.
Senior Alyssa Basham
of Perrysburg Schools
received the top Ohio
ProStart Culinary Award.
She and fellow class-
mates Zach Bethel (Anthony Wayne) and Raven
Davis (Maumee) earned
fifth place in the team
competition.
They competed against
24 culinary teams throughout Ohio. The competition
included knife skills, food
production, recipe creation, menu cost preparation and menu display
preparation.
Instructor Chef Janea
Makowski expressed her
appreciation to the board.
“I’d like to thank you for
your support.”
Mr.
Matter
was
impressed with how well
the the students performed
under pressure. “They
were as cool as cucumbers
on the competition floor,”
he said.

board:
•Hired Ron Gillen, adult

Speaking of ACS’ mission to fund research for a
cure for cancer, she said, “I
love that the ultimate goal of
this organization is for it not
to exist any more.”
Ms. London has been involved with ACS and
Strides for six years.
“It’s wonderful to see
everybody come together
and show their support for
each other–the bond they all
seem to have,” she explained.
She noted that more than
9,000 women in Ohio annually are diagnosed with
breast cancer.
Ms. Guyton emphasized
that donations to ACS are
put to good use for patients.
“The American Cancer
Society is the most effective
cancer-fighting organization
in the world. And when you
walk with us in Making
Strides Against Breast Cancer, you’re part of it,” she
said.
“At the American Cancer
Society, we know the fight
against breast cancer isn’t
going to be won with money
alone. We provide the things
that matter most to cancer
patients and their families.”
Among those services,
ACS helps patients navigate

in-service professional development to enhance teachers’
expertise in their teaching disciplines and equip them with
a deeper understanding of
best practices in teaching
methodologies, lesson planning and the use of technology in education.
•Contribute to improving
teaching in participating
countries by preparing participants to serve as teacher
leaders, equipped to apply
and share their experience
and skills with colleagues and
students upon returning
home.
Participating teachers in
the six-week program are
from Bangladesh, Bolivia,
Costa Rica, Egypt, Estonia,
Honduras, India, Ivory Coast,
Jordan, Kazakhstan, Nepal,
Panama, Peru, Russia, South
America,
Ukraine
and
Venezuela.
In addition to participating in professional development workshops, teachers
have been going into area
schools to observe as well as
co-teach.
Participating
schools along with Perrysburg are Bowsher, Northview,
Ottawa
Hills,
Scott,
Southview, Springfield and
Swanton high schools and
Toledo School for the Arts.
Teachers from Estonia,
Jordan and Russia were at
PJHS and a teacher from Cote
D’Ivoire was at PHS.
The teachers also took part
in two weekend homestays
with local families which was
coordinated with the help of
Global Connections of Bowling Green and the World Affairs Council of Northwest
Ohio. During the homestays,
the teachers experienced a
wide range of activities from
a hockey game to a radio talk
show to visiting places of
worship and joining family
dinners.
“Our host families really
opened their hearts and their
homes to teachers to give
them a sense of what daily
life is like here,” said Kathleen Lawry, of the BGSU
College of Education and
Human Development.
Before returning home,
the teachers traveled to Washington, D.C., for four day to
share experiences with other
TEA program fellows from
other universities. BGSU was
one of five universities in the
United States to host the program.

Cancer-free participants
sought for national study
Local residents are being asked to participate in a longterm study by the American Cancer Society.
The study, Cancer Prevention Study-3, requires 800 participants, according to Amy Boehm, ACS health initiatives
director.
The study seeks to better understand how lifestyle, genetics and the environment affect cancer, and how the disease can be prevented.
She described the study as “your fund-raising dollars in
your community at work.”
Past ACS studies since the 1950s have determined the
connections between cancer and smoking and obesity, she
noted.
Anyone is eligible who:
•Is willing to make a long-term commitment to the study,
which involves completing periodic follow-up surveys at
home.
•Is between 30 and 65 years old.
•Has never been diagnosed with cancer (not including
basal or squamous cell skin cancer).
Participants can sign up at the University of Toledo’s
Dana Cancer Center and UT’s Savage Arena from April 16
to 20.
The enrollment process involves several steps–to read
and sign an informed consent form, complete a brief written
survey, provide some physical measurements and give a
small blood sample, which will be drawn by a trained, certified phlebotomist.
At home, participants must complete a more comprehensive baseline survey with information on lifestyle, behavioral and other factors related to health.
ACS will continue to mail participants follow-up surveys
every few years to update information for 20 years. CPS-3
is not a clinical study, so participants will not receive individual blood test results.
Register by calling 1-888-604-5888 or at the Web site

scale is critical to both Ohio
and America's economy,”
said Congressman Latta. “I
am honored to accept the National Association of Manufacturers

Manufacturing Legislative
Excellence, and look forward
to continuing to work with
NAM to achieve policies that
support growth in the manufacturing industry and create
jobs here in Ohio and the
U.S.”
The award is given to
members of Congress who
score a 70 percent or higher
score on key manufacturing
votes as determined by the
NAM. Congressman Latta
scored a 95 percent during the
Mike Olmstead
accountability and ensure that
tax dollars have been spent efficiently while maintaining an
exceptional level of service
and safety in the community,
he said.
“For me it is about working toward and achieving effective limited government –a
government at the local level
that protects our lives, property and our way of life in Perrysburg,” he explained.
“As mayor, I will work to
continue toward this objective
Volunteers
sought
W
through a policy of limited
taxation, reduced complexity
in our local city bureaucracy,
and minimizing regulations
and red tape that slow
progress.”

Nicholas, Rachael and Sarah.
The councilman is a member of the Rotary Club of Perrysburg and a supporter of the

“If you believe, like I do,
that more than ever, the time is
now in our history for limited
effective government, a government that is representative
of our Constitution and that
our prosperity as a community
is dependent on its successful
implementation, then I am
asking for your vote in November.”
Perrysburg Mayor Nelson

Harper Lee documentary to be shown
at Way Library Thursday, March 21
The Reel Opinions with
WGTE Public Media series
at Way Library will show
and discuss an American
Masters program called
“Harper Lee: Hey, Boo” on
Thursday, March 21, at
10:30 am.
This documentary chronicles how the beloved “To
Kill a Mockingbird” came to
Perrysburg City Councilman Mike Olmstead has announced his intention to run
for mayor in November.
“For the past eight years, I
have had the privilege to serve
you as a city councilman,” he
said. “I want to take my experience, skills and talents and
continue to serve the people of
Perrysburg as your mayor.”
Mr. Olmstead noted that as
a student of history, he deeply
believes in the ideas and principles of America’s Founding
Fathers when it comes to “a
government of the people, by
the people, and for the people.”
A favorite quote that has
been a guide in his decisionmaking comes from Thomas
Jefferson’s first inaugural address when the President said,
“The happiness and wellbeing of the citizenry is best
achieved with a wise and frugal government, which shall
restrain men from injuring one
another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their
own pursuits of industry and
improvement, and shall not
take from the mouth of labor
the bread it has earned.”
“These words of Jefferson
have been much of the basis
on how I have made my decisions as a councilman over the
years,” Mr. Olmstead explained.
He has served as the chairman of the service safety committee
and
economic
development committee and
also on the recreation committee during both terms on city
council.
Among his major accomplishments are working with
the division heads of the service safety divisions to improve
be written and provides the
context and history of the
deep south, where it is set.
It also gives new insight
into the life and mind of
Harper Lee, including why
she never published again.
Contemporary writers make
cameo appearances as well,
discussing the novel’s
power, influence, popularity

To the community:
It is with a heavy heart that
I am sitting down to write this
letter. A few weeks ago I was
informed that the rental contract for Kid’s World PreSchool was not going to be
renewed.
Kid’s World has had 35
years of a successful history of
educating preschoolers, enriching social skills and
preparing children for kindergarten entrance. We have had
the opportunity to partake and
support our city as it grew
through many activities; Harrison Rally Days, public
school cookbooks, book donations to the Way Library, toy
and food drives, thank you
lunches to the Perrysburg Fire
Division, adopting families at
the holidays, supporting families who had a parent(s) at war
defending our country, Fort
Imagination, Christmas caroling at local merchants and Elm
House,
sponsoring
baseball/softball teams for
PAB/SC–the list is endless.
As the director and owner
of Kid’s World, I can personally attest that our involvement
made our program strong, and
taught and showed the
preschoolers respect, manners
and simple acts of kindness.
I am forever grateful for
the 35 years that families from
Perrysburg, Maumee, Rossford, Whitehouse, Pemberville
and Anthony Wayne have entrusted Kid’s World with their
most precious gift, their child.
I did some quick math and realized that the staff at Kid’s
World has educated more than
2,520 preschoolers in their 35
years of business and that for
those 35 years, each and every
one of those children left a
positive mark in our lives, as I
know we have theirs.
I also want to acknowledge
our local merchants and public officials who generously
donated their time to our
preschoolers. Field trips, classroom visits, friendly waves
when they would drive by,
stopping in to share an animal
that had been caught, local
farmers that would stop by
with a live turkey at Thanksgiving time for the children to
see. Our community also
helped enrich the preschoolers’ experience, and I thank
them as well.
Lastly, my staff. I have
been very privileged to have
had a low turn over in my staff
in my years of operation. That
speaks for itself. Great communication, respect, support,
team work and love for children.
As the doors close behind
us that last day in May, we can
leave knowing that we served
our community well.
Lynn Steinmiller,
owner/director
Kid’s World Pre-School
Open Letter
To the residents of Perrysburg:
Once again, Easter is just
around the corner, and once
again, I’m writing to ask you
not to put live ducklings in
your children’s Easter baskets. While I appreciate the
cute factor of ducklings as
much as the next person,
those ducklings aren’t actually wild mallards. Wild mallards are federally protected
birds that feed stores are not
allowed to sell. What they sell
instead are flightless domestic ducks that look just like
wild mallards.
Those domestic ducks belong on farms where they can
be sheltered from predators.
In the wild, domestic ducks
are at the mercy of folks like
me, who must sustain them
over the winter when their
supplemental food sources
become hidden by ice and
snow. They’re also at the
mercy of the many predators
that live in the area: dogs, raccoons, hawks and snapping
turtles. Wild mallards will not
protect them, nor will the
other ducks raise those foreign ducklings as their own.
So, this Easter, please resist the cute factor of live
ducklings and fill those baskets with what your kids really want: candy, and lots of
it.
Kelly Meister
To the Community
I have 28 years experience in the justice system in the Perrysburg Municipal
Court as the Chief Bailiff and Probation Officer, and six years as a Police Officer of the Perrysburg Police Department. I have seen many attorneys in action
as both prosecutors and defense attorneys. I also worked with many judges
during my time at the Perrysburg Municipal Court. I had the privilege of working with Aram Ohanian when he started at the Perrysburg Municipal Court as
an intern in 1992, and through his time at the Public Defendersʼ office.
Aram has always shown himself to be fair and unbiased. He worked very diligently as a defense attorney to ensure that those he represented had a fair
chance to present their side of the case. Aramʼs demeanor was always very
professional, and he proved to be very knowledgeable of the law in any area
from minor misdemeanor charges, like traffic violations, petty thefts and snagging walleye, up to severe felony cases, such as drug charges, assaults and
domestic violence.
I have come to know Aram and his family very well over the years. He is a very
family-oriented man. He is dedicated to his community and has served as a
Cub Scout leader, he coaches soccer and basketball for his kids teams, and
is a great supporter of the schools and our educational programs within the
schools. He worked hard in bringing the community together for the Going
the Extra Mile event last August.
I have followed Aramʼs career after he joined the Wood County Prosecutorʼs
Office. He has worked very hard as a prosecutor, handling thousands of cases
in the Perrysburg Municipal Court and in Bowling Green Municipal Court and
Wood County Common Pleas Court. He has worked hard at combating domestic violence and helping families affected by domestic violence and substance abuse. He has done a great job for the people of our community.
Having known Aram Ohanian for the past 22 years, I can honestly say that he
is the best candidate for judge at the Perrysburg Municipal Court. Aram Ohanianʼs extensive experience in the Perrysburg Municipal Court, his unwavering
integrity and his commitment to making the judicial system one that serves all
members of our community in a fair and impartial manner makes him the one
that deserves your vote on May 7, in the Republican primary election.

joined up. By February 1943
she was in Fort Knox, Kentucky. She later traveled to

board her ship to Europe.

Daniel Perch who she had
met while in nursing school.
They had five children. He
was a U.S. Navy corpsman
and a PBA flyer.

refreshments will be
served.
Schedule:
•11 a.m.–Donald Hickey
presents “Forgotten Conflict: Why the War of 1812
Matters Today.” Mr. Hickey is an award-winning
author and a professor of

2nd U.S. Artillery at Fort
Meigs will perform a musket firing demonstration
and talk about the life of a
soldier in the War of 1812.
•2 p.m. –American Girl
Soiree with Caroline
Abbott. All youth in grades
kindergarten through fifth
grade are invited to travel
back to 1812 for an American Girl party. Caroline
Abbott is an American Girl

War of 1812. Registration
for this portion of the program is required by calling
Maumee Branch Library at
419-259-5360 or online at
toledolibrary.org.
Although the War of
1812 is not as well known
or as popular as the Revo-
lutionary War or the Civil
War, the second war with
Great Britain helped forge
the idea of the United
States as one nation. The
Star Spangled Banner, written during the British siege
of Baltimore, is enduring
proof of that legacy. Several important battles, such as
The River Raisin, Fort
Meigs, and Lake Erie, were
fought in Northwest Ohio
and Southeast Michigan.
As a result of the war, the
spirited resistance of the
Native American tribes to
American settlement came
to an end in this region.
The Alzheimer’s Association, Northwest Ohio
Chapter, will host “Living

The Country Garden
Club of Perrysburg, a
member of the Garden
Club of America, is offering an opportunity to discover and explore Ikebana,
the ancient art of Japanese
flower arranging. The
club will host Grand Master Ingrid Lüders of the
Ohara School of Ikebana
on April 24 and 25, for
three different appearances–one demonstration
lecture and two interactive
workshops.
Ikebana, the art of
Japanese flower arrangement, is one of the traditional arts of Japan, and it
has been practiced for
more than 600 years.
What distinguishes Ikebana from simpler decorative approaches is its
asymmetrical form and the
use of empty space as an
essential feature of composition. A sense of harmony among the materials, the container and the
setting is also crucial. A
respect for the beauty of
natural materials shines
through in every well-executed Ikebana arrangement.

Library of Congress Veterans Project continues at Way Library
By Richard Baranowski
Way Library recently
interviewed Frank Brahier for
the Library of Congress Veterans Project. Way Library is
a partner in this project and
continues to tape hometown
veterans, preserving their service stories for national, local
and family history.
Mr. Brahier was born in
1934 at home on the corner
of Roachton and Scheider
roads. His parents were
Joseph Brahier and Helen
(Eckel) Brahier.
“We lived on the farm,”
he said. “My grandfather,
Fred Eckel, lived just down
the road from us and I did a
lot of farming with him as I
was growing up.
“I graduated from Perrysburg High School in 1953. I
really didn’t have a plan. I
was working on the farm, and
I worked at Kasco Mills in
east Toledo, making dog food
and other animal feed. I made
90 cents an hour.
“The Korean War was
going on and guys my age
were being drafted, so I went
down and volunteered. I
took the bus from Bowling
Green to Cleveland for my
physical. A doctor listened to
my heart. He said, ‘Son, you
ever had heart trouble?’ I
said no sir. ‘Well, you have a
heart murmur. You’ll never
be in the Army.’ They sent
me home.
“I went to see Dr. Fraser,
and he agreed I had a murmur, but he said I could live
to 99 or my heart could quit
tomorrow.
“I struck up a deal with
my grandpa to farm the farm.
He was getting up in years.
And I still had my job with
Kasco. I put some cattle in
and went to work. Six
months later I got a draft
notice. I was told to report to
the draft office. I was classified 4F so it would just be
routine. I would take the
physical and they would send
me home. So I got on the bus
again. I knew some guys on
the bus, Don Traver, from
Pemberville was one. I told
the guys I wouldn’t be going
with them. I told my mom I
would be home tonight, and I
left my car in Bowling
Green.
“I got to Cleveland and
that station of the physical.
There was a different doctor.
He listened to my heart.
‘You ever had heart trouble?
he asked. Yes sir, I said. I
was turned down the last
time because of a heart murmur. ‘Yes, you do have a
pretty bad heart murmur,’ he
said. ‘It will never bother
anything. Now move along.’
“I couldn’t believe it. I
had cattle in the barn. I had
my job. I had driven my car
to Bowling Green. I called
home. Mom, I’m in the
Army. She said, ‘What?’
“The next thing I knew I
was on a train to Fort Knox,
Kentucky. It was February of
1955.”
Boot camp was culture
shock for Mr. Brahier. He
was a small-town country
kid. He had never been away
from home. He had never
been exposed to different
people or places. He would
quickly find out.
“They took away all our
clothes,” he said. “We had to
send them home. I was called
a Yankee. I didn’t know what
that was. I had never been
around black people before. I
had never heard such rough
language. They gave me a
uniform. I looked at myself. I
looked at the guys around
me. The sergeant was hollering at you, calling you names
and so forth. I was homesick
and felt like crying, but I
dared not do that, although
some guys did.
“My drill sergeant was
named Jenkins. He was a
short, muscular guy who
really laid it on us. He got us
out of bed in the pouring rain
one night and made us do
about faces in the mud carrying our foot lockers, which
were three feet long. During
the exercise we couldn’t help
ramming each other with our
lockers. He finally said ‘fall
out and make sure your boots
are cleaned and polished
when you fall in in the morning.’ By the time we got our
boots clean, it was morning.
“Basic lasted six weeks.
We took some tests. I was in
the 3rd Armored Division, so
I figured I would be doing
something with tanks. I got
my orders, and I was to go to
Wheel Vehicle Mechanics
School. I knew I had
mechanical ability. I’d been
working on cars all my life.
On the farm, my uncle, Barney Dotson, and I never took
our cars in to get them fixed.
We did it ourselves. We also
fixed them to go faster. Some
of us guys, like Bob Heilman
and Jerry Shiple, hung out at
the Shell station uptown and
did a little drag racing at
night,” he said chuckling.
“Mechanics School was
easy for me. The instructor
showed us a tank engine. It’s
not much different than a car
engine and they both had
semi-automatic transmissions, so this was easy for me
too.
“At that time, I started
visiting the service club at
Fort Knox. There was a
group of girls that came over
from Louisville and sang at
the club. I met one of the
girls. Her name was Joyce
Metzger.
“I finished tank school,
and I was to report to Fort
Lewis in Washington State,
meet my division and go to
Korea to fix tanks. They
issued us greens–heavy wool
uniforms. It was cold in
Korea. We got our shots. We
were to ship out at 5:30 a.m.
About 12:30, a guy came in
the barracks and hollered
four names. It was three of
my mechanic buddies and
me. They took us to the captain. ‘Gentlemen,’ he said.
‘You’re not going to Korea.
You’re going to Yakima–the
Yakima Firing Center.’ We
had never heard of the place.
“The firing center was a
summer camp for the
reserves and had an artillery
firing range. In the summer
there were thousands of guys
around, in the winter only
about 100. There were hundreds of vehicles. I worked
on trucks, tanks and Jeeps.
The tanks had International
engines with automatic transmissions. The Jeeps came
from Willys-Overland in
Toledo. I could fix them all.
“I was in the motor pool a
month when this Captain Faring came in. He had a big,
black Lincoln Continental
convertible. Now you
weren’t supposed to bring in
personal cars but he was a
captain. He came over to me.
‘They told me that you are
the best mechanic they got
here,’ he said. Whatever you
say, sir, I said. His car was
running terrible. I adjusted
the distributor, making it hotter which in turn makes the
engine run better. He came
back the next day, and he was
pretty happy. He wanted me
to take it for a drive. ‘They
got plenty of guys here, go
take it out for awhile.’
“I said no thanks and then
he asked me if I wanted to
join the MPs. He was in
charge of them on the base. I
knew it would be a better job,
so I took it. For one, although
MPs stayed in the barracks,
they had their own room.
They sent me back to Fort
Lewis for school, and I went
from tank vehicle mechanic
to MP. MPs were part of the
infantry.
“MP school lasted six
weeks, but there were only
10 days left in that session
but I still graduated with the
class. I was a tall guy, 6’2”.
The MPs like tall guys. I also
knew how to iron and kept
my uniform sharp. I even
hired myself out, ironing
shirts for 50 cents, as most
guys don’t know how to iron
a shirt.
“I was put on town patrol.
Yakima was about six miles
from the base. We used the
civilian police station. If soldiers got into trouble, they
brought them over to us.
About the third night they
brought in a drunk guy. He
was a master sergeant. The
police were going to lock
him up or I could take him
back to the base. I put
Sergeant Cook (it turned out
he was the company cook) in
our van and took him back.
Taking him home was the
best move I made. I saved
him from being demoted to
private and probably a oneway ticket to Korea. I could
walk into the mess hall at
anytime and get anything I
wanted to eat–and that
included steak at four in the
morning when I got off
patrol.
“We also patrolled the gun
range. It was seven miles out
there, and civilians wandered
in. We investigated accidents.
One time a truck went down
the mountain outside Yakima.
It was carrying Army cots.
The guys in the truck jumped
clear, but the mountainside
was strewn with cots. By the
time we got there it had
snowed and the cots were
buried. There was a ski lodge
across the road and we stayed
there. Every so often we’d
walk over to the window and
look out. That was pretty
good duty.
“There were other benefits of being an MP. We were
allowed to take an Army
vehicle off post. In my spare
time I visited Mount Rainier
and Mount St. Helens. I had
my deer rifle sent out, and I
went deer and elk hunting. I
also went salmon fishing.

The Perrysburg Schools
Foundation has awarded six
mini-grants to Perrysburg
teachers this winter. These
mini-grants are funded by
contributions from individuals in the community
through the foundation’s
annual fund drive.
Foundation mini-grant program was the first project
undertaken by the foundation board following its
inception in 1985. The
mini-grants are designed to
enable teachers at all grade
levels to bring innovative
ideas, techniques and
resources to the classroom
using funding other than tax
dollars. Since 1985 the
foundation has awarded
more than $100,000 in
mini-grants, impacting
every student in the school
system, many of them several times by the time they
graduate.
The grants, which totaled
$1,541, were in the following areas:
•Olivia Zuchowski and
Mandy Craig, Woodland
Elementary
All-Day
Kindergarten–Interactive
Writing and Reading Teaching Cart for each teacher,
$562. The carts will be used
to enhance daily interactive
writing at the kindergarten
level. Students will be able
to participate in the writing
process, modeling for their
peers, as well as allowing
the teachers to model for a
large group of students.
•Maura Meyers, Perrysburg Junior High, grades 68– Art for Special Needs,
$55. The money will provide materials for students
on Individual Education
Plans (IEP) who need project modifications.
•Julie Jagodzinski, Perrysburg Junior High School,
grades 6-8–Application of
Social Skills in a Real
World Setting, $100. The
grant will purchase games
that students with and without disabilities will play to
encourage social skills, such
as taking turns.
•Kerry Stoots, Perrysburg Junior High School,
grades 6-8–Battling Bullies
with Books!, $70. This
grant will purchase books to
help develop a deeper
understanding of both bullying and accepting others.
•Andrea Monheim, Tom
Przybylski, Nicole Wagner,
Perrysburg Junior High
School, grades 6-8–New
School Counselor-Led
Groups, $473. The money
will provide materials for
school counseling groups at
the junior high in the areas
of study skills and dealing
with anxiety and stress.
At last year’s event, Pastor Tim Philabaum, back row,
right, served as a celebrity waiter.

Frank Brahier, U.S. Army, 1956
“Time went pretty fast. I
got a 30-day furlough and
drove down to Louisville and
picked up Joyce and brought
her to Perrysburg for a visit.
She stayed with my sister. I
showed her the farm. Tractors and hog barns were all
alien to her. She was from
the city and had gone to an
all-girl Catholic High School.
“I was discharged February 13, 1957. By then I had
made corporal. The guy who
was corporal got drunk and
was demoted. They had a
spare corporal slot and I was
promoted by default,” he said
with a laugh. “But my
monthly pay went from $68 a
month to $80.
“Joyce and I got married
in Louisville. We got back to
Perrysburg on March 2. Our
first house was a place next
to the Koch Lumber Company. We rented three rooms in
the back. It was $60 a month
rent. It was an old, rough
place, but cheap, which was
good because we had no
money. There was no place to
park, so I parked my car
behind Lloyd Neiderhouse’s
Gulf station. I resumed work
at Kasco and Joyce got a job
at Gendron Wheel as a secretary. That was good since she
could walk to work. We only
had one car. A few weeks
later I lost my job. I never
knew that my experience as
an Army MP would help me
get my next one.
“I told Lloyd Neiderhouse, who was also mayor,
that I was out of work. He
knew that the village needed
a policeman. Fred Sasse was
retiring. He told me to see the
chief, Ross Enright. Ross
either forgave or forgot my
drag-racing days. I think my
experience as an Army MP
convinced him to hire me. I
had done investigations. I had
worked traffic. Ross was an
old state highway patrolman
and he loved working traffic.
So without me really knowing it, the service helped
enormously in preparing me
for what turned out to be my
lifetime career. And best of
all, I met my wife while I
was in the service. It’s really
funny how things go in life.
“The service also gave me
the opportunity to see the
northwest and to hunt and
fish out there. I had the
chance to meet all sorts of
different people. It gave me
knowledge that I wouldn’t
have otherwise if that second
doctor had turned me down. I
had no idea there were some
of the things that I did.
“I even hired myself out
to pick apples in Yakima. I
picked for two weeks and got
10 cents per box. I was fast. I
could pick 100 boxes a day
and that was ten bucks. That
was a lot of money back
then. But I’ve never picked
apples since then,” he said
laughing.
Perrysburg Legion raises funds for Honor Flight
Perrysburg American Legion Post 28 recently presented a check for $2,400 to Beth Emery for Honor Flight

Josie Fowler, a Perrysburg High School freshman,
and Celia Oatis, a St. Ursula
Academy freshman, recently
attended the Olympic Development Program’s (ODP)
National Camp held January
29 to February 3 in Phoenix,
Arizona.
The soccer players were
two of 72 girls in their age
group from across the
United States who were invited to attend the camp.
While in Phoenix they
were coached and trained by
national, college and club
soccer coaches.
Both girls participate in
the Ohio North Region 2
ODP program that identifies
promising soccer players
and provides them with additional training and higher
levels of competition to improve their skills and knowledge.
From there, they were
named to the ODP Region 2
team. The ODP Region 2
covers 13 Midwestern
states, which are comprised
of 14 ODP programs.
There are four ODP Regions in the country and
each have their own regional
team of only 36 players.
ODP’s National Camp
focused on teaching the
technical and tactical aspects of soccer, as well as
the importance of proper nutrition, training, stretching,
and rest. The camp included
small-sided games of 6 v. 6
as well as inter-regional
matches pitting girls from
across the country against
each other.
“It was fun to play at a
high level with girls my age
from across the country,”
Josie said.
“Two of my favorite
teammates were the goalie
from Nebraska, and one of
my defenders from Mississippi. I was definitely challenged because everyone

want to be a good soccer
player you have to be able to
see the entire field and anticipate what’s going to happen.”
Jorge Diaz, Perrysburg
High School’s co-head
coach and founder of PSC
Impact, a Perrysburg soccer
club, coached Josie for a
number of years and feels
the opportunity to attend the
national camp will help not
only the two girls but also
their teammates.
“Josie and Celia will
definitely become better
soccer players from the
training they received at the
camp,” said Mr. Diaz.
“But they can also bring
back the knowledge they
gained to their Perrysburg,
St. Ursula, and club teams
and share it with their teammates. That will help to
make both teams better.”
Josie and Celia, both center midfielders, have been
playing soccer since age 4,
and they continue to play for
local clubs and coaches.
Josie was the only starting freshman on Perrysburg
High School’s undefeated
Division I Girls State Championship team.
She plays club soccer for
PSC Impact, a Perrysburg
soccer club in the Midwest
Regional League (MRL), as
well as for the Michigan
Hawks of the Elite Clubs
National League (ECNL).
Celia was a starter on the
St. Ursula Academy girls
soccer team that advanced to
the state semi-finals. She
was named to First Team All
League and Second Team
All District, as well as carrying an impressive 4.57 grade
point average.
She plays club soccer for
the Greater Toledo Futbol
Club (GTFC) of the MRL.
Both girls will travel with
their club teams this spring
to outlying states so they can
compete in multiple soccer
showcase tournaments that
will be attended by college
soccer coaches from across
the country.

points of the game.

Wine, Cheese and Chocolate event
to benefit Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
A local group will host a
Wine, Cheese, and Chocolate
event on Friday, April 12, from
7 to 10 p.m., at Belmont Country Club. All proceeds from
the event will go directly to the
Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to
be used to research a cure for
the disease.
Tickets are $30 each and
may be purchased in advance
by sending an e-mail to
[email protected] or
by calling 419-873-5779.
Cystic fibrosis is an inherited chronic disease that affects
the lungs and digestive system
of about 30,000 children and
adults in the United States
(70,000 worldwide). A defective gene and its protein product cause the body to produce
unusually thick, sticky mucus
that clogs the lungs and leads
to life-threatening lung infections and obstructs the pan-
Violet O’Leary
creas and stops natural enzymes from helping the body
break down and absorb food.
In the 1950s, few children
with cystic fibrosis lived to attend elementary school. Today,
advances in research and medical treatments have further enhanced and extended life for
children and adults with CF.
Many people with the disease
can now expect to live into
their 30s, 40s and beyond.
A total of 160 patients with
Cystic Fibrosis from this area
are cared for by the local Cystic Fibrosis Center at the
Toledo Hospital. Perrysburg
resident Violet Jane O’Leary is
counted in this number.
Violet’s family was devastated when they learned of her
inherited disease when she
was just 10 days old. Simple
acts of breathing and eating are
a challenge for her each day.
At 17 months old, she is now
taking more than 20 pills a day
in order to digest her food and
has a minimum of two, 45minute breathing treatments
each day to keep her lungs
clear.
Advances continue to be
made in finding a cure but
funds are needed to keep up
the momentum of this lifesaving research.

TALK
Hot Head Burritos announces the grand opening of its
Holland location at 1510 South McCord Road at Springfield
Meadows. They can be reached at 419-491-0094 or by fax at
419-491-0131.
This is the second location in northwest Ohio for the fast
growing chain. The franchise is owned by Gail and Chuck
Salmon, Perrysburg residents for more than 15 years. The
restaurant features seating for 80+ people along with televisions to watch while enjoying a meal. Hot Head Burritos offers customers a meal served quickly with the option for take
out or dining in with a family atmosphere.
Gail Salmon explained, “Hot Head Burritos prepares all
food fresh daily. We get multiple food deliveries throughout
the week. There is no freezer or fryer in our restaurant; everything is prepared throughout the day allowing us to serve great
tasting food. Our strategy is to prepare less food more often
throughout the day to ensure our flavor profile consistency.”
“We are locally owned and Ohio based. We are investing in
northwest Ohio, live here, and believe in the opportunity available here. We also will be supporting various groups in Holland, Springfield, and hopefully both local high schools
through various sponsorships. We have over 25 employees.
We are proud to partner with Scott Dennis Construction (a
local contractor) on our build-outs, which also added jobs to
the local economy. We are eager to offer local opportunity for
employment and will continue to partner with Scott Dennis
Construction on our future build-outs. We also utilize local
suppliers for all our needs in operating our restaurants. We
are another affordable dining option for northwest Ohio and
plan further expansion in the region,” said Mr. Salmon.
Hot Head Burritos is a Dayton based company and will
have about 75 locations open by the end of 2013. Hot Head
Burritos was voted “Best Burrito in Dayton” and listed among
the “Ones to Watch” in the December 2011 edition of Q.S.R.
magazine. The company Web site is www.hothead
burritos.com.

PET OF THE WEEK
Oro: female domestic short hair,
brown tabby
Hello, my name is Oro and I am the
quintessential version of a pretty little lady. I mind my manners, speak
quietly, and am sweet. I will follow
you around the house, offer a listening ear when you want to vent, and
give you space when you need it. I
like to perch and make myself a
comfortable spot so I can keep a close eye on you to make sure everything is well. I am considered special needs because I am on a certain
kind of food to help my G.I. tract. I tend to have soft stool on a daily
basis, but do know how to use a litter box. I am a lady after all!
Please visit or call the Wood County Humane Society at 419-352-7339
to learn more about this great pet. All of our adoptable animals can be
viewed by visiting www.WoodCountyHumaneSociety.org.

Latta encourages constituents Photographer Baron Wolman
give lecture at Owens March 21
to schedule U.S. Capitol tours toArea
residents are invited portraits.
The Obama administration recently announced that
White House tours are being
canceled until further notice
due to staffing reductions as
a result of sequestration.
Congressman Bob Latta
encouraged constituents of
Ohio’s Fifth Congressional
District to contact his office
to set up tours of the U.S.
Capitol.
“I understand the disappointment of those who have
had their previously scheduled White House tours canceled. My office will
continue to provide public
tours of the U.S. Capitol and
welcome constituents who
are visiting Washington to
schedule tours through my
office,” said Congressman
Latta. “As a result of seques-
tration the federal government is undergoing budget
cuts, including a 8.2 percent
cut in congressional office
budgets, however plans to
meet the new spending levels
have been implemented
within my office to ensure
regular activities, such as
public tours, can proceed as
usual.”
The mandatory federal
budget cuts, known as sequestration, went into effect
March 1, 2013. Under sequestration, federal agencies
and offices are required to reduce spending within their
budgets.

office, visit his Web site at

Established 1999
to gain insight into the lives
of some of the most wellknown contemporary musicians of the 20th century as
part of a free lecture presentation by internationally-recognized photographer Baron
Wolman at Owens Community College on Thursday,
March 21.
The lecture, which is taking place in conjunction with
the Walter E. Terhune Art
Gallery presenting the exhibit
“Rock On: Photographs by
Baron Wolman” through
March 28, will begin at 7 p.m.
in the Center for Fine and
Performing Arts Studio Theatre on the campus on Oregon
Road in Perrysburg Township. The event is free and
open to the public.
In 1967, Mr. Wolman was
approached by Jann Wenner,
the founder of “Rolling
Stone” to become the publication’s first chief photographer. The meeting led to Mr.
Wolman witnessing and capturing the moments of arguably one the most
important periods of change
in popular music and culture
through his camera, with the
images serving as a focal
point for the magazine. For
three years at the publication,
his photographs were known
for capturing the events and
personalities as well as visualizing the music.
Over the years, his artistic
talents have been showcased
in art galleries around the
world. His most recent book
“Every Picture Tells A Story
–Baron Wolman, The Rolling
Stone Years” highlights stories and photographs of some
of the most significant artists
and events of the period. Mr.
Wolman’s professional background also includes sports
photography, aerial photography, figure photography and
More than 30 photographs
are on display in Owens’ current “Rock On: Photographs
by Baron Wolman” exhibit.
Featured musicians within the
photographs include James
Brown, B.B. King, Johnny
Cash, Willie Nelson, Duke
Ellington, Jim Morrison, Neil
Young, Tina Turner, Chuck
Berry, George Harrison and
Joan Baez, among others.
In addition to the photographs, music-specific artifacts and collectibles from the
1880s through the 1980s are
showcased in the Walter E.
Terhune Art Gallery. Items
ranging from record albums
and posters to period clothing
and concert tickets provide
attendees with a further look
into the musical past. “Rock
On: Photographs by Baron
Wolman” is being presented
in part by a grant from the
Ohio Humanities Council.
Admission to the Walter
E. Terhune Art Gallery is free
and open to the public.
