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.
Other winning poems are

“Hello, I’m Here.
You’re There”
By Rosemary Yanik
Hello, I’m here. You’re
there.
I’m talking to you even
though you seem so far away.
I’m sending my thoughts
And hoping you hear
them.
Hello, I’m here. You’re
there.
I miss our time together,
Our talks, our laughs, our
sharing.
I’m holding on, moving
forward,
But I miss having you beside
me, around me.
An Irish 5K will be held

Hello, I’m here. You’re
there.
It’s difficult to enjoy the
creative pursuits when you’re
not here to discuss the outcomes
and see the results.
Hello, I’m here. You’re
there.
You were my support and
motivation to accomplish.
Now I am by myself,
And the excitement to
create must be there with
you.
It’s harder to find it here
with me.
Hello, I’m here. You’re
there.
My tears touch my heart.
