Owens CC hosts annual Motorsports Welding Night<br />

Owens welding instructor Charlie Stewart shows <strong>the</strong> artistic<br />

nature <strong>of</strong> welding.<br />

Hundreds <strong>of</strong> racing car<br />

and truck enthusiasts as well<br />

as area residents interested in<br />

welding careers turned out<br />

<strong>April</strong> 4 for <strong>the</strong> annual Lincoln<br />

Motorsports Welding Night<br />

at Owens Community College.<br />

Held in <strong>the</strong> School <strong>of</strong><br />

Technology, <strong>the</strong> event featured<br />

an ARCA truck, a 305<br />

Sprint car, trucks, stock racing<br />

cars, drag racing cars and<br />

drag bikes.<br />

“Lincoln Motorsports<br />

Welding Night is a great opportunity<br />

for area residents to<br />

check out some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> latest<br />

advancements in competition<br />

racing with more than 30<br />

owners from around <strong>the</strong> region<br />

showcasing <strong>the</strong>ir vehicles,”<br />

said Jim Gilmore,<br />

Owens chair <strong>of</strong> diesel and<br />

welding technologies.<br />

He noted that representatives<br />

from local businesses<br />

also were on hand to <strong>of</strong>fer advice<br />

to anyone choosing a career<br />

in welding or <strong>the</strong><br />

automotive industry.<br />

Local businesses included<br />

Toledo Speedway, Norwalk<br />

Raceway Park and Attica<br />

Raceway Park.<br />

Bowling Green State University’s<br />

College <strong>of</strong> Technology<br />

displayed two<br />

all-electric, grand prix racing<br />

vehicles.<br />

Tony Palumbo, director <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> BGSU electric vehicle institute,<br />

was eager to promote<br />

<strong>the</strong> clean and renewable energy<br />

technologies utilized in<br />

<strong>the</strong> motorsports competitions.<br />

A self-funded program,<br />

motorsports utilizes students<br />

from all disciplines, he explained.<br />

It is a reality-based program<br />

that provides students<br />

experience with <strong>the</strong> operation<br />

<strong>of</strong> a racing enterprise and research<br />

and development <strong>of</strong><br />

green vehicles, he said.<br />

“We need technology,<br />

marketing, engineering, journalism<br />

majors–anyone can<br />

contribute,” he added.<br />

The cost to assemble a vehicle<br />

is $13,000, he said.<br />

Also at <strong>the</strong> event were<br />

representatives from Lincoln<br />

machines.<br />

O-I tests VersaFlip jar locally<br />

Owens-Illinois, Inc. is introducing<br />

a new product in its<br />

Versa line <strong>of</strong> functional<br />

food packaging glass containers<br />

through an ongoing and<br />

exclusive partnership with<br />

Walt Churchill’s Markets.<br />

The latest product innovation<br />

is <strong>the</strong> VersaFlip jar.<br />

Northwest Ohio will be<br />

<strong>the</strong> only testing ground in <strong>the</strong><br />

United States for <strong>the</strong> new<br />

glass container. Recently, a<br />

limited supply <strong>of</strong> VersaFlip<br />

jars packaged with Walt<br />

Churchill’s Markets’ special<br />

recipe Salsa Rustica hit store<br />

shelves at <strong>the</strong> grocer’s two locations,<br />

Maumee and <strong>Perrysburg</strong>.<br />

The VersaFlip jar’s unique<br />

design has a wide opening<br />

with facets along <strong>the</strong> lower<br />

half <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> jar so it can be<br />

tipped on its side. This distinctive<br />

“tip and dip” feature<br />

makes dipping a chip or<br />

cracker directly into <strong>the</strong> jar<br />

effortless eliminating <strong>the</strong><br />

need to pour <strong>the</strong> salsa or dip<br />

into a separate bowl while<br />

also reducing food waste.<br />

“Working with a local retail<br />

partner, such as Walt<br />

Churchill’s Markets, lets us<br />

ga<strong>the</strong>r insights about <strong>the</strong><br />

product directly from people<br />

who have tried it and identify<br />

value propositions that can be<br />

applied to future partnerships<br />

with retailers throughout <strong>the</strong><br />

U.S. and across <strong>the</strong> globe,”<br />

said Saga Sh<strong>of</strong>fner, vice president<br />

<strong>of</strong> global marketing.<br />

“We choose to test in our<br />

backyard because we can get<br />

reaction from friends, family<br />

and neighbors in real time.<br />

We learn what works and we<br />

share that with our customers<br />

all over <strong>the</strong> world,” added<br />

Stephanie Johnston, director<br />

<strong>of</strong> global commercial strategic<br />

planning.<br />

The VersaFlip jar is <strong>the</strong><br />

third product in O-I’s Versa<br />

platform. The first product<br />

was <strong>the</strong> VersaFlow jar, a marinara-style<br />

jar that was introduced<br />

in partnership with<br />

Walt Churchill’s Markets in<br />

<strong>April</strong> 2012. A smaller version<br />
