VOLUME 161, NUMBER 15 – APRIL 10, 2013
By Beth Church
Bridge repairs, an upgraded
sheriff’s radio system and
a new parenting program
were among the diverse services
provided in Wood
County last year.
A State of the County presentation
by the Wood County
Commissioners highlighted
many of these county services
at the March luncheon
meeting of the Perrysburg
Area Chamber of Commerce.
“It is through the support
of citizens and the excellent
cooperation of the county
elected officials that we are
able to provide effective,
quality services in an efficient
manner,” Commissioner
Jim Carter said.
The commissioners are
responsible for the general
administration of county government,
which includes taxing,
budgeting, appropriating
and purchasing for county
government, he explained.
Mr. Carter began the
annual address with a look
back at the county 100 years
ago using details provided by
the Wood County Historical
Center.
In 1913, plans were being
finalized at the Bowling
Green Normal School (now
the university) to build University
Hall, at a cost of just
$300,000.
An oil boom was taking
place in northwest Ohio, with
280 barrels of oil drilled in
one week alone in the county.
Flooding and a “great
cyclone” hit Grand Rapids on
Good Friday.
Commissioner Carter
noted that 2012 saw the end
of an era in another way as
Commissioner Tim Brown
was elected as a state representative
and replaced by
Commissioner Doris Herringshaw.
Finances are a chief concern
for county officials, he
acknowledged.
“When we met with you
last year at this time, we were
reeling from another round of
cuts by the Ohio legislature
who was working to solve a
projected $8 billion shortfall.
One item included in their
solution continues to have a
significant negative impact
on county revenues,” Mr.
Carter explained.
The Local Government
Fund, through which the state
returns tax money to counties,
was cut by an additional
$200,000 from 2012 to 2013.
“While we hope this revenue
source and others have
hit their low point, we remain
cautious in our budgeting
approach,” he said.
The county’s 2013 gener-
al fund appropriations are
$37,304,773–the lowest since
2006.
In contrast, Commissioner
Carter said sales tax figures
remain the high point of
county revenue with an
increase of nearly 5 percent
from 2011.
Last year also saw a new
form of revenue–casino
tax–for the county.
The commissioners decided
to allocate the entire first
payment of $110,296 to the
county engineer for road and
bridge projects.
Commissioner Carter
emphasized that they did not
want to spend those dollars
on wages, and perhaps the
next payment will be used to
establish a wireless Internet
(wifi) system at the county
office complex.
Wood County is very
proud to maintain an excellent
bond rating of Aa2, he
said, which is “a direct
reflection of our conservative
fiscal management.”
The bond rating saves taxpayer
funds when the county
borrows for capital improvements,
keeping interest rates
and debt payments low.
Community partners affiliated
with Wood County, such
as the Falcon Health Center
(Wood County Hospital) and
St. Clare Commons, also
benefit from the bond rating,
he added.
“They are able to access
our excellent bond rating to
help their own borrowing
needs, without the county
incurring liability for their
debt,” Mr. Carter explained.
Commissioner Joel
Kuhlman told chamber members
that a number of retire-

The staff invites readers to submit photos of themselves

Before the holidays Carl and Marguerite Jensen of Perrysburg
took a vacation to Laguna Niguel, California.
“We enjoyed the great weather, beautiful coastline and
the beautiful gardens in bloom,” said Mrs. Jensen.
The couple had dinner in Newport Beach with a close
friend, Roberta Pratt and her husband Garry. “Roberta then
came and spent several days in Laguna Niguel, and there
was a lot of catching up to do,” she said.
On the weekend, the couple explored the coastline with
Carol Whitaker and her son Jason. “The trip was a great
way to unwind before the holidays,” Mrs. Jensen said.

ments and resignations are
saving county personnel
costs.
Tom Blaha of the economic
development office
and Ken Rieman of the solid
waste management district
both retired in 2012, and
Christie Weininger of the historical
center resigned to take
the position of executive
director at the Hayes Presidential
Center.
Dana Nemeth was named
the new director at the historical
center, and Wade
Gottschalk is new executive
director for Wood County
Economic Development.
The commissioners decided
to forgo filling the vacant
solid waste director position
while the Ohio Environmental
Protection Agency and
state legislature revamp
House Bill 592, the solid
waste law in Ohio, Mr.
Kuhlman said.
During this period, Joe
Fawcett, assistant county
administrator, will provide
leadership to the solid waste
office and the county landfill.
Operations at the landfill will
continue to be led by Superintendent
Ken Vollmar.
“When vacancies occur
within our departments,
rather than immediately filling
the vacancy, our staff
carefully analyzes our immediate
needs and whether a
possibility exists to combine
functions in order to save tax
dollars,” Commissioner
Kuhlman said.
Following a staffing
change in the Planning Commission,
the commissioners
combined the functions of
the vacancy into three other
positions absorbing most in

Diverse services noted in State of the County presentation
The Wood County Commissioners recently gave their State of the County address at a Perrysburg Area Chamber of
Commerce monthly meeting. From left are Bob Mack, chamber board member; Mike Olmstead, chamber president;

the commissioners’ office,
saving about $40,000, he
explained.
As a result, the solid
waste management district
will be reduced from a staff
of four to three, and the
office will move from Dunbridge
Road to the county
office building, saving another
$24,000 annually.
“This is only possible due
to our dedicated employees
understanding the times we
live in and willingness to
take on new and challenging
responsibilities,” the commissioner
said.
Commissioner Kuhlman
also discussed another major
project from 2012–an
upgrade to the sheriff’s radio
canopy system.
The current canopy system
has eight receiving sites
around the county that
enhance the sheriff’s twoway
radio system, which
allows for better portable
radio coverage for fire and
police departments. The total
cost is $174,572 with
$144,557 from a Homeland
Security grant.
Last year at the county
engineer’s office, Commissioner
Kuhlman said there
were six bridge projects completed
totaling $1.8 million,
and road projects totaling
$1.54 million, along with
more than 30 miles of ditch
cleanouts.
Following a three-year
closure, the railroad crossing
on Dunbridge Road in Middleton
Township reopened to
traffic in late 2012.
Construction on the
bridge was delayed because
of its location on CSX property,
Mr. Kuhlman explained.
The large culvert needed to
be replaced and relocated,
which involved working with
CSX and a property owner
for the purchase and demolition
of a house.
The final cost of the project
was $450,000.
“With over 3,000 miles of
ditches and nearly 500
bridges, the work of the
county engineer is never ending,”
the commissioner said.
Reporting on the work of
the Wood County Veterans
Assistance Center, Commissioner
Kuhlman said a Medal
of Honor monument was
added last year to the set of
veteran monuments at the
courthouse complex in Bowling
Green.
Veterans director Mary
Hanna reported that for every
dollar spent by the county for
veteran assistance, the center
received $48.78 in federal
funds.
“These funds directly
benefited those veterans
receiving benefits,” Mr.
Kuhlman added.
Commissioner Doris Herringshaw
told chamber members
about a special project
of the department of job and
family services.
After the deaths of two
children and serious injury to
another from abusive head
trauma in 2012, the staff
teamed up with Wood County
Hospital to provide new
parents information from the
National Center on Shaken
Baby Syndrome.
“While at the hospital,
new parents are now
required to watch a DVD

Wood County Park District hosts strategic planning meeting
What do Wood County
residents want to see in their
park district?
That question and others
were the focus of the first in
a series of strategic planning
sessions held at W.W.
Knight Preserve on April 3.
About a dozen area residents
gathered at the meeting
to learn more about the
park district and offer their
input.
Bryan Cavins, a consultant,
facilitated the meeting
for the park district.
“What do we aspire to be
as a park district?” he asked.
To answer that question,
Mr. Cavins broke down the
aspiration statement into
five categories: educational
and interpretive, passive
recreation, facilities, human
resources and natural/cultural
resources.
“Our goal is to get your
feedback on these,” he
explained. “We want you to
be open and honest.”
Before breaking into
groups for the strategic planning,
Neil Munger, park district
director, provided an
overview of the Wood
County park system.
“What is a park district?”
he asked. “There could be
more than 20 answers.”
Depending on the user,
parks can be a place to fish,
play on the playground,
walk in the woods or just a
place to enjoy nature, he
said.
“Parks are different
things to different people,”
he added.
Formed under title 15 of
the Ohio Revised Code,
park districts conserve and
preserve natural resources.
“Usually formed in county
boundaries, park districts
are separate political subdi-

visions,” he said, adding that
in addition to following the
revised code, the park district
has its own rules and
bylaws as well as an operating
budget.
The Wood County Park
District was established in
1934 with the Mary Jane
Thurston Park and is the
sixth oldest in Ohio.
In 1937, Otsego Park was
formed, followed by the
William Henry Harrison
Park in 1951 and Wood
County Infirmary in 1971.

‘Go Perrysburg’ campaign door-to-door event a success
Go Perrysburg, the committee working to restore transportation independence to the City of Perrysburg by
supporting a levy on the May 7 ballot, held a successful door-to-door canvassing event on April 6. Eleven volunteers
knocked on the doors of more than 500 voters, and the response received was positive, according to
committee members.
Door-to-door volunteers will continue neighborhood canvassing April 20 and May 4.
Without this levy’s passage, there will be no public transportation for seniors or people living with disabilities
in Perrysburg. The five-year, 0.8-mill levy will cost the owner of a $200,000 home about $4 per month and
will provide a dial-a-ride service for a fee to any location within the City of Perrysburg, on the Route 20 township
corridor and with connection service to and from Toledo at the Maumee Municipal Building and Rossford
Meijer store.

Owens CC announces layoffs, organizational changes
Facing a $7.5 million
deficit in the 2013-14 school
year, Owens Community
College has announced layoffs
and cutbacks for administrative
staff.
“We have worked to
reduce expenses and manage
this shortfall, but the deficit
is significant and positions
will be impacted,” Owens
President Mike Bower said.
“We are faced with very difficult
decisions that are necessary
to maintain the mission
of the college, which is
to serve our students.”
Due to this shortfall, contracts
for approximately 30
administrative staff members
will not be renewed as of
June 30. These individuals
will be eligible to apply for
open positions within

the college.
An additional 30 administrative
staff members will
likely be reassigned or have
their contracts modified, and
positions within other
employee groups continue to
be under review.
Owens will continue to
proactively realize cost savings
through the elimination
of vacant positions, retirement
and attrition, President
Bower added. These efforts
have already resulted in an
estimated reduction of 127
positions since 2011.
The layoffs and reductions
are one of many actions
the college is taking to bridge
the deficit, the president said.
Internal cost cutting measures,
such as significantly
reducing operating expenses,
have achieved nearly $6.86
million in budget reductions
in the past nine months
alone.
Owens has about 2,100
employees including fulltime
and part-time faculty
and staff.
“We are committed to
working with affected
employees either by placing
them internally into other
positions or by supporting
them in their external job
search efforts,” said Jack
Witt, vice president of
human resources.
Along with personnel
reductions, organizational
changes to academic areas
also are planned.
Several departments and
programs will merge or
blend to create a total of five
schools, described below.
This results in the elimination
of one dean and five
department chair positions.
School of Liberal Arts
and Criminal Justice–the
departments of English, communications,
humanities and
languages, social and behavioral
sciences, fine and performing
arts, and criminal
justice (including the peace
officer program) will merge
to form the School of Liberal
Arts and Criminal Justice,
led by dean Michele Johnson.
Within this new school,
English and communications,
humanities and languages
will merge into one
department under interim
chair Ellen Sorg.

covering 94 acres.
By 1998 the park district
had grown to 507
acres with 12 parks and a
nature preserve, said Mr.
Munger.
“Today we have 19
parks and 1,127 acres of
park land.”
The director believes it
is important for the park
district to “grow smart.”
Toward that end they
have been acquiring park
land that is adjacent to
existing parks, land with
unique characteristics and
acreage of significant size,
100 acres or more.
The park district’s mission
is to preserve and protect
natural resources and
provide educational opportunities,
he said.
After the last strategic
planning meetings held
about 10 years ago, the
park district responded to
residents’ input by adding
a picnic shelter, playground
and stone trail at
Cedar Creek Park.
At Beaver Creek a sidewalk
and new facility was
constructed, and officials
are currently restoring the
Carter Historic Farm to its
Depression era state.
“These are your parks.
We’re looking to you as to
what you want to see from
your parks in the future,”
Mr. Munger concluded.
Following his presentation,
Mr. Cavins split residents
into two groups to
seek their input on the five
topics.
Ideas for facilities
included the creation of
safe, functional buildings,
diverse recreational activities,
additional multipurpose
trails and connectivity
between parks.
The group also suggested
the park district
increase collaboration with
other area historical/educational
groups.
Ideas elicited for natural
and cultural resources
included more educational
programs on native
wildlife and plants,
brochures emphasizing
natural features, overnight
programs, geocaching,
activities with dogs and
engaging citizens as volunteers.
In the category of
human resources, residents
would like to see welltrained
staff retained and
earning competitive wages.
They suggested recognizing
the efforts of staff
and volunteers and
expressed an interest in
seeing staff receive training
opportunities.

Mr. Hunter first became
involved in the Washington

Mr. Wyandt was recognized
for his students’ performance
at the Capital

Achievement Fair.
Education Reform
In addition to the
awards presentation, the
conference featured
updates from OSBA officials.
Charlie Wilson, OSBA
president, spoke briefly on
a proposal by Ohio Governor
John Kasich to eliminate
locally elected educational
service center board
members.
He noted that the governor
also would like to
eliminate the election of
school board members at
the local level.
“It’s critical that we
stick together and resist
this change,” he said.
Richard Lewis, OSBA
executive director, urged
members to become more
involved in the organization
by helping out at the
federal or state level.
“The OSBA needs you
to talk to the legislators,”
he said.
Michelle Francis,
deputy director of legislative
services, agreed.
She noted that the new
school funding reform plan
will impact more than 400
districts. “Some are not
getting any more money
and, in fact, some will see
orary chairs for the event.
The proceeds raised at The
EyEvent will continue the
mission of The Sight Center:
To enrich the lives of
individuals with low vision
by providing personalized
services.
The Sight Center of
Northwest Ohio is a nonprofit
agency with a distinguished
history of service
to persons who are visually
impaired or blind.
In 2012, nearly 900
children and adults were
served through the wide
range of programs and
services. The goal of this
event is to ensure these
individuals continue to live
independently and enjoy
the things in life which
provide meaning and substance.

less,” she said.
She also pointed out
that his biannual budget
plan hinges on the ability
to implement sweeping tax
reform, including a plan to
implement sales taxes for
more than 80 service
industries such as beauty
salons, attorneys, laundromats,
bowling alleys,
movie theaters and more.
She said legislators are
hearing from business
owners statewide, who are
voicing objections to the
plan.
She encouraged board
members to weigh in on
the plan and let the legislature
know how important
education funding reform
is to their districts.
“Your voices need to be
heard,” she said.
Founded in 1955, the
Ohio School Boards Association
leads the way to
educational excellence by
serving Ohio’s public
school board members and
the diverse districts they
represent through superior
service, unwavering advocacy
and creative solutions.
In northwest Ohio 20
counties comprise the
OSBA northwest region.
They are Allen, Auglaize,
Defiance, Erie, Fulton,
Hancock, Hardin, Henry,
Huron, Lucas, Mercer,
Ottawa, Paulding, Putnam,
Sandusky, Seneca, Van
Wert, Williams, Wood and

Two young Perrysburg
entrepreneurs are hoping
they might have “the next
big idea.”
Krysten Jablonowski
and Hunter Bihn are
among nine Bowling Green
State University students
competing in “The Hatch”
on Wednesday, April 10.
Similar to the “Shark
Tank” TV show, BGSU
student entrepreneurs will
present their ideas to a
panel of investors, including
several BGSU alumni,
who will decide if they
want to help fund the business.
Krysten, a junior in the
College of Arts and Sciences,
is proposing the idea
of a dorm furniture retail
store, which she calls
“Campus Cribs.”
The idea came to her as
she and a friend were discussing
the hassle of moving
furniture into their residence
hall.
Krysten said her dorm
room furniture company
would sell the furniture and
move it into a student’s
dorm room.
Hunter, who is a senior
at Perrysburg High School
and a post-secondary
enrollment options student
at BGSU, developed the
idea of a special needle for
diabetics.

History lecture series continues
at Fort Meigs Thurs., April 18
Bill Pickard, archaeologist,
will present “A Tale
of Two Horses: The Horse
Burials at Fort Meigs” on
Thursday, April 18, at 7:30
p.m., at the Fort Meigs visitor
center in Perrysburg.
The presentation is free
and open to the public.
Doors open at 7 p.m.
The lecture is part of
the Fort’s Sixty Years War
for the Great Lakes Series.
In the early 2000s, Fort
Meigs was shut down to
undergo a rebuilding of the
reconstructed fort and the
building of a new visitor
center. An archaeological
study was conducted as
part of the project. During
the study the burial site of
two horses was discovered,
the first of its kind on a
War of 1812 Battlefield.
Mr. Pickard, the lead
archaeologist on the study,
will explain how the horses
came to be discovered,
what that tells about the
battle, and quite possibly
to whom the horses may
have belonged.
Mr. Pickard has been
involved in archaeology
for nearly 30 years and has
done extensive fieldwork
on a wide variety of prehistoric
and historic
archaeological sites.
Although he has worked
primarily in Ohio he has
also excavated on sites in
New York, West Virginia,
Illinois and Washington
State.
In Ohio, he has been
involved in still ongoing
archaeological investigations
at several major
Hopewell geometric earthwork
sites in the Ross
County area, at Serpent
Mound in Adams County
and at the Newark Earthworks
in Licking County.
He also was involved in
excavations at the site of
Ft. Laurens, Ohio’s only
Revolutionary War fort
near Canton, at Fort Meigs
(actually a year and a day
during reconstruction) a
War of 1812 fort near
Toledo and the 1750s era
English trading post of
Pickawillany near Piqua in
Miami County.
His special interests are
flint reduction techniques
and 18th century firearms
and edged weapons. He
especially enjoys working
with the public and has
given numerous presentations
on projects he has
been involved with as well
as conducting artifact identification
workshops. He
has worked in the Collections/Curatorial
division
on the Ohio Historical
Society in several capacities
since 1999.
The program is sponsored
by the Anderton
Bentley Fund in memory
of Christopher Perky, who
served at Fort Meigs during
the War of 1812.

the title song, “Footloose.”
Leading the cast is
junior, Jake Knight as Ren
MacCormack, a big city
high school rebel who relocates
to a small town where
dance and rock music is
forbidden. Ren is drawn to
the minister ’s daughter
Ariel, played by sophomore
Abby Newman, who is a
rebel in her own way. Ren
shakes things up when he
takes up the right to dance
as his cause. Throw in an
overprotective minister
father (Connor Leupp), a
roughneck boyfriend
(Kevin Korczyk), and a cast
of young enthusiastic teens
who just want to dance and
you have a fun, entertaining
evening.
“Ren is a fun, multidimensional
character to
play,” said Jake Knight.
“He’s a rebel, a bit sarcastic,
but underneath he has a
good heart.” Jake said he is
excited for people to come
see the show. “We have so
much fun singing and dancing
to all the songs people
remember from the hit
movie.”
There will be four performances
at the Perrysburg

The Country Garden Club
announces Phase 2 of its collaboration
with the Perrysburg
Heights Community
Association (PHCA).
PHCA has been successful
in nurturing the 2,500-squarefoot
organic vegetable garden
that was started last spring as
a result of a collaboration
with the Country Garden
Club, Perrysburg Garden
Club, the City of Perrysburg,
and The 577 Foundation.
Each organization provided
either financial assistance or
the manpower and expertise
that was needed to bring this
project to fruition.
In Phase 2, the Country
Garden Club has donated
$900 with an additional $600
from the Perrysburg Garden
Club, which will be spent on
a $1,500 rain water retention
and distribution system which
will be built on top of the garden’s
adjacent garage.
This improvement will reduce
water cost and conserve
water for reuse, and the garden’s
bounty will again be
distributed to local residents
this summer.

WCCOA announces winners of poetry contest
The Wood County Committee
on Aging, Inc. held its
eighth annual poetry banquet
and drew in 29 entries from
throughout Wood County.
Additional entries from
Lucas, Henry and Sandusky
counties added a new dimension
to the contest this year.
These entries enabled the
contest to include a separate
category for out-of-county
participants.
The poems reflected the
individual’s personal feelings
about life, hope, dreams
and love, which celebrated
the heart and souls of the
participants as they have enjoyed
“Life’s Voyages.”
A celebration for the entries
and recognition of the
winners took place on
Wednesday, March 27, at the
Wood County Senior Center.
The declared winner was
Rosemary Yankin from Perrysburg,
author of “Hello,
I’m Here. You’re There.”
The second place winner
was Carolyn Rebar from
Bowling Green, with her
poem entitled, “Another
Birthday.” Larry Slaughterbeck,
of North Baltimore, received
an honorable mention
for his work entitled, “January
Corn Stalks of Wood
County.”
“I am honored and appreciative
to be selected as the
winner,” siad Ms. Yankin. “It
is totally awesome to receive
recognition for this poem.”
Her poem was written in
2012, a year after she had
lost her spouse. Her husband
was the inspiration for the
poem. The poem was her
way of being in touch with
him as he is not with her
anymore.
The program was sponsored
by Otterbein Skilled
Nursing and Rehab Neighborhoods.
Bowling Green
State University assisted
with the judging of the entries.

its meeting on Tuesday, March 26. Volunteers from the zoo brought materials for CSI members

meal-time more challenging for the animals. They also strung popcorn and cheerios for the
zoo’s bird population. After the project, the zoo volunteers introduced a corn snake and a
chinchilla to the group. Above and below: Members work on their projects for the zoo.

Owens CC hosts annual Motorsports Welding Night
Owens welding instructor Charlie Stewart shows the artistic
nature of welding.
Hundreds of racing car
and truck enthusiasts as well
as area residents interested in
welding careers turned out
April 4 for the annual Lincoln
Motorsports Welding Night
at Owens Community College.
Held in the School of
Technology, the event featured
an ARCA truck, a 305
Sprint car, trucks, stock racing
cars, drag racing cars and
drag bikes.
“Lincoln Motorsports
Welding Night is a great opportunity
for area residents to
check out some of the latest
advancements in competition
racing with more than 30
owners from around the region
showcasing their vehicles,”
said Jim Gilmore,
Owens chair of diesel and
welding technologies.
He noted that representatives
from local businesses
also were on hand to offer advice
to anyone choosing a career
in welding or the
automotive industry.
Local businesses included
Toledo Speedway, Norwalk
Raceway Park and Attica
Raceway Park.
Bowling Green State University’s
College of Technology
displayed two
all-electric, grand prix racing
vehicles.
Tony Palumbo, director of
the BGSU electric vehicle institute,
was eager to promote
the clean and renewable energy
technologies utilized in
the motorsports competitions.
A self-funded program,
motorsports utilizes students
from all disciplines, he explained.
It is a reality-based program
that provides students
experience with the operation
of a racing enterprise and research
and development of
green vehicles, he said.
“We need technology,
marketing, engineering, journalism
majors–anyone can
contribute,” he added.
The cost to assemble a vehicle
is $13,000, he said.
Also at the event were
representatives from Lincoln
Electric with virtual welding
machines.
Outside the technology
center, Owens welding instructor

O-I tests VersaFlip jar locally
Owens-Illinois, Inc. is introducing
a new product in its
Versa line of functional
food packaging glass containers
through an ongoing and
exclusive partnership with
Walt Churchill’s Markets.
The latest product innovation
is the VersaFlip jar.
Northwest Ohio will be
the only testing ground in the
United States for the new
glass container. Recently, a
limited supply of VersaFlip
jars packaged with Walt
Churchill’s Markets’ special
recipe Salsa Rustica hit store
shelves at the grocer’s two locations,
Maumee and Perrysburg.
The VersaFlip jar’s unique
design has a wide opening
with facets along the lower
half of the jar so it can be
tipped on its side. This distinctive
“tip and dip” feature
makes dipping a chip or
cracker directly into the jar
effortless eliminating the
need to pour the salsa or dip
into a separate bowl while
also reducing food waste.
“Working with a local retail
partner, such as Walt
Churchill’s Markets, lets us
gather insights about the
product directly from people
who have tried it and identify
value propositions that can be
applied to future partnerships
with retailers throughout the
U.S. and across the globe,”
said Saga Shoffner, vice president
of global marketing.
“We choose to test in our
backyard because we can get
reaction from friends, family
and neighbors in real time.
We learn what works and we
share that with our customers
all over the world,” added
Stephanie Johnston, director
of global commercial strategic
planning.
The VersaFlip jar is the
third product in O-I’s Versa
platform. The first product
was the VersaFlow jar, a marinara-style
jar that was introduced
in partnership with
Walt Churchill’s Markets in
April 2012. A smaller version
of the jar, which was designed
for sauces and condiments,
launched locally in October
2012. Both jars feature a
built-in pour spout allowing
food products to flow more
smoothly with less mess and
less food waste.
“The products in the Versa
line were crafted for modern
life with the design specifically
addressing known consumer
hassles,” said Saga
Shoffner.
O-I plans to bring the
Versa products to retail store
shelves throughout the U.S.,
Europe and South America.

program in the state, having
enhanced the riding skills of
over 115,000 motorcyclists
since its founding in 1987.
The organization has 22 permanent
training locations
throughout Ohio and one mobile
program, as well as a fleet
of 450 training motorcycles,
helmets and more than 250 instructors.
Motorcycle Ohio’s
Basic Rider Course or “Riding
and Street Skills” was first
made available to the public in
1988, while the Experienced
Rider Course was added in
1992. The Basic Rider Course
requires 16 hours of educational
learning. Four hours
maximize the steel.
Lincoln Motorsports
Welding Night was co-sponsored
by the Northwest Ohio
Chapter of the American
Welding Society and Lincoln
Electric Motorsports.
–Jane Maiolo
Owens offers motorcycle
safety training classes
will occur within a classroom
at the College’s Arrowhead
Park Learning Center on Indian
Wood Circle in Maumee.
Classroom topics will include
introduction to motorcycling,
preparing to ride and street
strategies. The final 12 hours
will be held as part of practice

driving pad adjacent to the
Fire Science and Law Enforcement
Center in Perrysburg
Township.

lane changes, avoiding hazards
and matching gears to
speed, among other topics.

with motorcycles, helmets
and a student workbook.
