VOLUME 161, NUMBER 17 – APRIL 24, 2013 

By Deb Buker 

Fort Meigs, the largest 

wooden-walled fort in America, 

is celebrating its bicentennial. 

And, from Friday, May 3 

through Sunday, May 5, more 

than 400 re-enactors from 

across the United States and 

Canada will commemorate the 

anniversary of the First Siege 

of Fort Meigs. 

Guest speaker at the Perrysburg 

Area Chamber of 

Commerce monthly luncheon 

meeting, Rick Finch, Fort 

Meigs site director, shared a 

brief history of the First 

Siege–the siege that helped 

turn the tide of the war in 

favor of American forces and 

ushered in a series of American 

victories that would secure 

the Ohio frontier. 

“Fort Meigs is 200 years 

old and her gates are creaking 

a little bit, but she is still going 

strong,” said Mr. Finch to 

chamber members and guests. 

“And, we are not only celebrating 

our bicentennial of the 

building of the fort but also of 

the two sieges that were 

fought here at Fort Meigs.” 

The site director told the 

group the War of 1812 began 

June 18, 1812, when the United 

States of America declared 

war on Great Britin. 

“And some of the earliest 

fighting in the war actually 

happened out here in the western 

Great Lakes or what they 

call the Western theater of 

war,” he said. “However, 

things did not go very well for 

the Americans. After the declaration 

of war, we saw the 

first series of defeat. We managed 

to lose Fort Michilimackinac, 

which is up in the 

northern territory; we managed 

to lose Fort Dearborn, 

which is present day Chicago, 

Illinois; we managed to lose 

Fort Detroit as well. We did 

manage to keep Fort Wayne in 

the Indiana territory. So we 

have one bright spot.” 

A major defeat was suffered 

in January 1813 at the 

Battle of the River Raisin– 

present day Monroe, Michigan. 

With a 1,000-man force 

of U.S. troops, only 30 managed 

to escape and more than 

900 were killed, captured or 

wounded, said Mr. Finch. 

“So, things are going 

absolutely atrocious for us 

very early in the war,” he continued. 

“We lost pretty much 

what is the entire state of 

Michigan today, Wisconsin 

and northern Illinois.” 

In February 1813, General 

William Henry Harrison, commanding 

the Army of the 

Northwest, ordered construction 

of a massive fortification 

to amass enough men and supplies 

to eventually launch a 

winter invasion into Canada, 

said the site director. The fort 

was completed in three

Perrysburg City Council 

approved a community reinvestment 

area (CRA) tax 

abatement agreement with V 

Couture at its April 9 meeting. 

The 10-year, 75 percent 

abatement will begin January 

1, 2015, and end December 

31, 2024. 

Valentine Ononye, owner 

of men’s clothing retailer V 

Couture, is proposing an 

expansion and relocation of 

V Couture from 123 West 

Indiana Avenue to 135 West 

Indiana Avenue. 

Mr. Ononye purchased the 

vacant house at 135 West 

Indiana Avenue and plans to 

either demolish or move the 

house and construct a new 

building. V Couture would 

expand to include additional 

customer services, which are 

currently offered by the 

retailer but often offsite. He 

also is proposing a spa, 

women’s retail, lounge and 

small café with indoor and 

outdoor seating. 

Real property improvements 

are estimated between 

$1.2 to $1.5 million with total 

project costs estimated at 

approximately $3 million. 

There will be an additional 

25 full-and part-time employ- 

months and named Fort Meigs 

in honor of the then governor 

of Ohio–Return Jonathan 

Meigs Jr. 

“Now the British under the 

command of Brigadier General 

Henry Proctor–whose main 

base was Fort Malden, just 

south of Detroit and what they 

called Canada at the 

time–realized what General 

Harrison was doing,” said Mr. 

Finch. “And he realized if he 

allowed Harrison to continue 

to build and fortify Fort Meigs 

and amass men and supplies 

there, eventually war is coming 

to Canada. So instead, 

General Proctor decides on a 

pre-emptive strike. He wants 

to come down here in the 

early spring of 1813 and hit 

Fort Meigs while it is still 

being constructed and either 

capture the garrison and all the 

troops inside or completely 

wipe it off the map. 

“So that early spring of 

1813, he amasses an army of 

about 2,200 men comprised of 

British regulars, Canadian 

militia and the Native American 

warriors who are loosely 

led by Tecumseh, the Shawnee 

war chief. 

“They set sail from Fort 

Malden on April 24, 1813, 

sailed across Lake Erie, up the 

Maumee River and they land 

at an old abandoned British 

fort– Fort Miami– about two 

and a half miles northeast of 

Fort Meigs. 

“General Proctor sends his 

engineer down and some of 

City to begin discussions with Ride Right 

ees with an estimated annual 

payroll of $575,000 to 

$600,000. 

The project is scheduled 

to begin this October with a 

completion date of October 

2014. 

Council President Joe 

Lawless and Councilor Tim 

McCarthy opposed the CRA. 

Mr. Lawless stated that he 

supports the project and is in 

favor of retail and small business, 

but does not believe the 

city should grant a tax abatement 

for retail–“it will set a 

precedent,” he said. 

Councilman McCarthy 

said the location is desirable 

and believes an abatement is 

not necessary. 

Ride Right LLC 

Council approved an ordinance 

to begin discussions 

with Ride Right, LLC to provide 

transportation services 

subject to passage of the May 

7 tax levy. 

If approved by voters, the 

five-year, 0.8-mill transportation 

levy will provide bus service 

Monday through Friday, 

6 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday, 8 

a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday 

from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. 

The transportation plan 

includes rides to any location

Rick Finch, Fort Meigs site director, shares history of the First Siege May 1813 

Rick Finch, Fort Meigs site director, was guest speaker at the Perrysburg Area 

Chamber of Commerce April monthly meeting. Mr. Finch shared the history of the 

First Siege of Fort Meigs. 

Pictured from left, Mr. Finch; Mike Olmstead, chamber president, and Sandy 

Latchem, chamber executive director. 

“If you remember one thing about Fort Meigs, what I hope you remember is that 

Fort Meigs is the turning point in the war out here in the Great Lakes. It is the success 

achieved at Fort Meigs in this siege and a few months later in July that really 

turned our fortune in the Western theater. And from these successes, it brings nothing 

but American successes after that which ultimately leads to the destruction of 

General Proctor’s army at the Battle of Thames in October 1813.” 

–Rick Finch 

his officers to Fort Meigs and 

they realized they have come 

too late. Fort Meigs is way too 

strong and way too strengthened 

to be able to take this in 

any type of frontal assault. So 

instead, what General Proctor 

decides on is an artillery bombardment. 

He places his main 

British batteries on the north 

side of the Maumee River, 

roughly where the First Presbyterian 

Church in Maumee is 

today and St. Joseph’s 

Catholic Church is as well,” 

continued the site director. 

“And he decides he is going to 

throw enough shot shell 

bombs into Fort Meigs. And 

when General Harrison is 

forced to retreat from the fort 

to the south, all of Proctor’s 

soldiers and Indians that are 

surrounding the fort on that 

side are going to ambush his 

forces, capture the men and 

capture the fort.” 

On May 1, 1813, General 

Proctor’s group mounted a 

massive five-day artillery 

bombardment. 

“To give you an idea, in 

the first three days alone more 

than 1,200 shot shell bombs 

were thrown into the fort. 

Over 400 rounds a day were 

landing in Fort Meigs. One 

Ohio soldier said they basically 

‘threw everything at 

us–solid shot, pot shot, round 

shot, bar shot, chain shot, old 

wagon wheels, lose 

brick–anything that they could 

cram down a mortar or cannon 

with little intermission except

about every two hours at night 

when they threw long bombs 

just to keep us awake,’” added 

Mr. Finch. 

On the third day of the 

bombardment, the British 

crossed another artillery battery 

to the south side of the 

river–about 350 yards southeast 

of Fort Meigs, which is 

now Fort Meigs Union Cemetery. 

“So General Harrison realizes 

that he is in a little bit of a 

pickle here,” said the director. 

“He is getting bombed from 

the north, he is getting 

bombed from the southeast 

and he realizes he needs to do 

something about this or his 

position might become untenable. 

The problem is he is out 

numbered about two to one by 

the enemy. He only has about 

1,000 effective men inside the 

fort, and he is desperately in 

need of reinforcements. 

“Now, luckily General 

Harrison knew the British 

were coming and he sent out a 

request for reinforcements 

before the British arrived. And 

on the fourth day of May–the 

fourth day of the siege, a runner 

sneaks into the fort with 

word that those reinforcements 

that he wanted and so 

desperately needed are only 

about nine miles away floating 

on boats down the Maumee 

River to come to the aid of 

Fort Meigs. About 1,200 Kentucky 

militia under the command 

of Brigadier General 

Green Clay had stopped for 

ers on November 3, 2009. 

Voters have approved the 

levy every two years since 

1987. 

Other Business 

In other business, council: 

•Approved a $50,000 contract

and engineering for the 2013

•Approved amendments 

to the planning and zoning 

sign codes. 

•Authorized an agreement 

the night and were waiting for 

their orders. 

“So here is the plan and I 

will let you decide–it is either 

very bold and ambitious or it 

is an act of desperation. 

“He tells the runners to go 

find General Clay and tell him 

these orders, ‘General Clay, 

you are to split forces. Eight 

hundred of your men are to 

land on the north side of the 

Maumee River and they are to 

sweep up and capture the 

British artillery batteries, disable 

the guns so they can’t fire 

any more.’ 

“And here is the important 

part folks–‘once the number is 

stable, retreat back to the 

boats, cross the south side of 

the river and fight your way 

into Fort Meigs. Meanwhile, 

your other 400 troops are 

going to land on the south side 

of the river and fight their way 

into the west gate and sweep 

the enemy back in that section. 

That will create a diversion for 

another 350 troops to lead the 

east end of the fort, work 

through the ravine system and 

pop up, come across the open 

plain and capture the artillery 

battery southeast of the fort.’ 

“Bold and ambitious? Certainly. 

Act of desperation? 

Probably,” said Mr. Finch. 

“Splitting his forces over a 

major swale of river and he 

had no satellite communication, 

no walkie-talkies, no cell 

phone to coordinate any of 

this. And this, keep in mind, is 

supposed to be a very wellcoordinated 

attack and happen 

simultaneously to pin the 

British forces and their Indian 

allies down in place so they 

can’t shift troops and move 

one way or the other. But as 

many things happen in battle, 

plans are well laid out but they 

are not always well executed. 

“Those were the orders and 

the runners found General 

Clay, told him the orders. He 

said ‘fine’ and told them to go 

to the lead boat and tell the 

orders to Colonel William 

Dudley–he will be commanding 

the men on the north side 

of the river. 

“And on May 5, in the 

middle of a rain storm in the 

early morning, the Kentucky 

soldiers loaded up their boats. 

Now originally the action was 

supposed to start on the north 

side of the river because these 

guys had about a mile and a 

half to march to take the battery. 

But the action actually 

starts on the south side when 

General Clay and 400 troops 

under Lt. Col. Boswell land on 

the south side, fight their way 

into the west gate, pushing 

back the enemy twice in that 

section of the battlefield. They 

almost were captured themselves.

Township trustees welcome two new deputy chiefs 

By Jane Maiolo 

At the April 17 meeting, 

Perrysburg Township welcomed 

two new deputy 

chiefs. 

Deputy Police Chief 

Michael Gilmore was hired 

by the trustees earlier this 

month. The deputy chief’s 

benefit package will mirror 

that of Police Chief Mark 

Hetrick, who retired in 

December but returned to 

the department a month ago. 

Mr. Gilmore, who begins 

work on July 1, will be paid 

a patrolman’s salary of 

$56,000. His one-year contract 

includes two weeks 

paid vacation and paid sick 

days and holidays. 

A 29-year veteran of law 

enforcement, he has worked 

for the City of Perrysburg 

police division as deputy 

chief for three years. He 

will retire from that post on 

May 1. 

Prior to his employment 

at Perrysburg, he was a 

member of the Toledo 

Police Department from 

1986 to 2010. During his 

tenure, he worked his way 

up from a patrol officer in 

1986 to a sergeant in 1997. 

A Toledo area native, he 

graduated from Central 

Catholic High School, 

received a bachelor of science 

degree in criminal justice 

from the University of 

Toledo and a master’s 

degree in administration of 

As April 29, 1813 

dawned, the soldiers at Fort 

Meigs had been surrounded 

for two days by British 

forces and their Native 

American allies. This was a 

defining moment in the history 

of Ohio and the nation. 

The First Siege of Fort 

Meigs would help turn the 

tide of war and usher in a 

series of American victories 

that would secure the Ohio 

frontier. 

General William Henry 

Harrison wrote that day, “It 

is at length reduced to certainty 

that the enemy are 

about to carry into effect 

their threatened attack on 

this post” and urged his 

men “to your posts then fellow

charge and pushed the enemy 

backwards of about half a 

mile. They started to become 

splintered and their lines were 

separated. But nonetheless, 

they achieved their objective 

and it is a victory on the south 

side. 

“About a half hour later, 

some of the troops that took 

part in that fighting went 

down to the east end of Fort 

Meigs and with some U. S. 

regulars and some volunteer 

militia, 350 men under the 

command of Lt. Col. John 

Miller, left the east end of 

Fort Meigs, lined up in the 

ravine and marched up, came 

out of the ravine and man- 

aged to capture the British 

artillery pieces, to disable 

them, capture 42 British pris- 

oners and push the enemy 

backwards about a 

mile–about where Louisiana 

Avenue is today. 

“So yet again, another 

good victory on the south 

side,” explained Mr. Finch. 

“This one however, comes at 

a price because the British, 

Canadians and Indians launch 

a series of fierce counter 

attacks as the American 

forces were retreating back 

into Fort Meigs. And we suf- 

fered about 30 men killed in 

that engagement and about 90 

men wounded. In fact, it was 

a Kentucky unit that took the 

brunt of that counter assault. 

“And one of the men who 

fought in that engagement 

writes of that unit ‘the com- 

pany on our right which 

marched out 80 strong 

returned with 20 effective 

men.’ But again, we achieved 

the objection of the south 

side. 

“However, there is always 

a however. On the north side, 

things do not go very well for 

American forces. Col. Dudley 

manages to land his 800 men 

on the north side of the river 

and he forms them up in three 

main attacking columns with 

a far left column of scouts 

and spies. They managed to 

march a mile and a half 

through the woods, complete- 

ly surprised the British bat- 

tery and captured those guns. 

Yea for us. However, things 

start to fall apart almost 

immediately after that. 

“They look for the man 

who should be carrying the 

sack full of soft metal spikes 

that they can ram down into 

the cannon so they can’t fire 

any more–and that guy is on 

the south side of the river, not 

the north side. 

“So they tried to disable 

the guns as best they can and 

then for whatever reason, 

Col. Dudley fails to execute 

that third initial order. He 

fails to get the men back to 

the boat to the south side of 

the river. Instead, he allows 

the men to hold their ground. 

And as they are holding their 

ground, this bought the Indi- 

ans time to re-form and they 

poured a volley of fire into 

the far column of scouts and 

spies. 

“Those guys fire back at 

the Indians and they see them 

melt into the woods. They 

think they have them on the 

run and chase after them into 

the woods. But the Indians 

were just setting them up for 

an ambush, drawing them 

further and further into the 

woods, further and further 

away from the protection of 

their fellow Kentuckians and 

from the protection of the 

guns at Fort Meigs. 

“Now at this point, Col. 

Dudley was forced to make a 

choice–he could either aban- 

don those men to their fate 

and get the rest of his troops, 

the bulk of his troops, back to 

the boat and cross to Fort 

Meigs like he is supposed to. 

Or he can come to the aide of 

his fellow Kentuckians, his 

friends, his neighbors, his rel- 

atives and he can push his 

forces into the woods and try 

to free those men. 

“And that is what hap- 

pens–he pushes his forces 

into the woods. In fact, he 

does not even tell the other 

two junior officers who are 

commanding the other 

columns what he is doing. He 

pushes his forces into the 

woods and when the other 

junior officers see what is 

happening, they push their 

men into the woods thinking 

a general assault. This ends 

up being a very small 

unit–bloody, chaotic fighting 

that stretches over a two to 

three mile stretch of ground 

and over a two to three hour 

period. Col. Dudley is cut 

down rather quickly in the 

fighting. His troops look on 

in horror as he is butchered in 

front of them by the Indians. 

“The command then falls 

to Major Shelby, who is 

swinging his sword wildly 

about his head when he gets it 

caught in the brush and as he 

rips it out, he slices open the 

back of his neck. He climbs 

off into the bushes and refus- 

es to command. 

“And then what happens 

is that this buys the British 

forces enough time to form 

up their main unit and march 

two miles down to Fort 

Miami and surround the Ken- 

tuckians. The Kentuckians 

realized that all hope was lost. 

“It is a complete and utter 

disaster on the north side of 

the river. Of the 800 men that 

land on the north side of the 

river, only 150 of them man- 

age to escape–650 of them 

were killed, captured or 

wounded. They were rounded 

up, stripped of their belong- 

ings and they were marched 

the two miles or so back to 

Fort Miami. And when they 

got within 40 feet of the fort, 

they were forced to run a 

gauntlet of Indians and as the 

unarmed American prisoners 

run through the tunnel of 

Indians, they are shot, they 

are stabbed, they are clubbed, 

they are tomahawked. They 

get inside Fort Miami think- 

ing they are safe and are hor- 

rified to see that the Indians 

have jumped the banks and 

continued to fire into them 

and even worse, jump in 

amongst them and continue 

to tomahawk them. And it is 

not until Tecumseh rides up 

and puts an end to the mas- 

sacre. But by that time, anoth- 

er 20 to 30 Americans are 

dead. 

“A complete and utter dis- 

aster on the north side of the 

river. And because of this, it 

fails to allow General Harri- 

son to claim a complete vic- 

tory because the British 

afflicted more causalities on 

the north side of the river and 

they captured more Ameri- 

cans and made them prison- 

ers. But nonetheless, General 

Harrison does claim this as an 

American victory because the 

British objective was to either 

capture Fort Meigs or com- 

pletely wipe it off the map 

and they did neither. 

“If you remember one 

thing about Fort Meigs, what 

I hope you remember is that 

Fort Meigs is the turning 

point in the war out here in 

the Great Lakes. It is the suc- 

cess achieved at Fort Meigs 

in this siege and a few 

months later in July that real- 

ly turned our fortune in the 

Western theater. And from 

these successes it brings noth- 

ing but American successes 

after that which ultimately 

leads to the destruction of 

General Proctor’s army at the 

Battle of Thames in October 

1813,” concluded Mr. Finch.

Bicentennial weekend activi- 

ties see schedule on front

introduction,” said the 

chief. “Jim has always 

been an asset to the depart- 

ment.” 

The deputy fire chief 

position has been vacant 

since Chief Brice was pro- 

moted to chief in March 

2011. 

Mr. Rodriguez began 

working for the fire depart- 

ment as a volunteer fire- 

fighter in the mid-1990s. He 

was hired full time in 1997 

and has been a captain since 

2006. 

A certified firefighter II, 

he completed his paramedic 

courses in 2011. 

He and his wife Barb 

reside in Rossford with 

their three children. 

FedEx Revenue 

The trustees heard from 

Administrator Walt Celley 

that the township received 

the fourth quarter revenue 

distribution of $15,296 

from the joint economic 

development district 

(JEDD) at FedEx. 

“That brings our total 

receipts from February 

2009 to December 2012 to 

$96,266,” he said. 

Mr. Celley said at a 

JEDD board meeting last 

year, a FedEx representative 

had asked if 3rd Street from 

J Street west to the intersec- 

tion could be repaired. He 

noted that the consensus 

among officials was to 

widen the stretch to three 

lanes and create a center 

turn lane. 

“It would improve traffic 

flow and safety,” he 

explained. 

The administrator 

believes the Ohio Depart- 

ment of Transportation may 

provide some funding, but a 

study must be conducted to 

determine the cost for 

improvements and the 

impact on utility lines. 

Estimating the study 

would cost between $5,000 

and $6,000, he asked the 

trustees if they would pay 

for the design estimate. 

“It is our road,” he 

reminded the trustees, 

adding that with what the 

township has received in 

revenue from the JEDD, “it 

would probably be well 

warranted.” 

Mr. LaHote responded, 

“I’m supportive of the 

study. They have been a 

good corporate citizen.” He 

also noted that if FedEx 

were to eventually expand 

the complex, the road 

would need to be widened. 

Trustee Gary Britten said 

the Ampoint complex does 

have numerous businesses 

utilizing the road. “We’ve 

got to start somewhere,” he 

said, adding that just 

because the study is done 

doesn’t mean work will pro- 

ceed. 

Mr. Celley said once the 

study is complete, he will 

look into available funding 

from ODOT and other 

sources. 

Mr. Britten expressed 

concern about utility poles 

“Some of those poles are 

close to the road,” he said. 

He also questioned the 

status of a Northwestern 

Water and Sewer District 

pump station. 

Mr. Celley responded, 

“The pump station there is 

to be eliminated.” 

The trustees agreed to 

hire Feller, Finch & Associ- 

ates to conduct the prelimi- 

nary design study. 

Other Business 

In other business, the 

trustees: 

•Approved the hiring of 

EMT/firefighter Andrew 

Berry, effective April 30. 

He will receive a salary of 

$20.16 per hour. 

•Agreed to send four 

members of the fire depart- 

ment to National Fire Acad- 

emy training in Emmits- 

burg, Maryland for Ohio 

Weekend June 28 to 30 at a 

cost of $200 per person. 

•Approved the purchase 

of a printer for the police 

department from MT Busi- 

ness Technologies at a cost 

of $1,662. 

•Met Barrett Dorner, a 

part-time firefighter who 

recently was hired as a full- 

time dispatcher for the 

police department at an 

hourly rate of $20.91. 

•Heard from Bob Warni- 

mont, recreation director, 

that the Fort Meigs Ceme- 

tery board meeting will be 

at 6 p.m., Tuesday, May 7, 

at Perrysburg City Council 

chambers. The cemetery 

budget will be discussed, he 

said. 

•Approved a purchase 

order of $5,000 for the 

annual Recycle Roundup to 

be held from 9 a.m. to noon, 

Saturday, May 4 at the 

township recycling center 

on Lime City Road. 

•Heard from Mr. Warni- 

mont that the police depart- 

ment and Walgreens on U.S. 

Route 20 will participate in 

the Drug Take Back day on 

Saturday, April 27, and the 

fire department will host a 

safety day at the pharmacy. 

•Agreed to purchase a 

newer model Dodge pickup 

truck for use by the zoning 

department to replace an 

old vehicle. The pickup was 

forfeited to the police 

department following a 

drug-related crime. The 

department was required to 

pay the lien of $4,500. 

•Learned from Mr. Cel- 

ley that the business expo in 

Perrysburg “went excep- 

tionally well.” The adminis- 

trator said the township had 

34 residents sign up to 

receive the newsletter. 

•Heard from a Glenwood 

Road resident who would 

like to see the gas line 

extended one-half mile past 

Mandell Road to Buck 

Road. Residents along that 

stretch are currently using 

propane, and the cost is 

becoming exorbitant, 

explained Richard Hens. He 

said the trustees had signa- 

tures of 11 residents who 

would like to see the line 

extended by winter. 

The next trustees meet- 

ing will be at 6 p.m., 

Wednesday, May 1 at the 

township meeting hall, 

26609 Lime City Road, and 

is open to the public.

Fort Meigs is in need of 

community volunteers for its 

First Siege 1813 Bicentennial 

event on May 4 and 5. 

Volunteers are needed in 

several areas, none of which 

require any previous experi- 

ence or historical knowledge. 

In exchange for a 1.5 hour 

shift we will give you free 

admission to the event. Volun- 

teer opportunities include gate 

greeters, store helpers, food 

servers and battle guides. 

Gate greeters will be post- 

ed at a tent near the entrance to 

the fort. Greeters will welcome 

folks to the event and make 

sure they have admission 

stickers. Store helpers will 

work inside the visitor center 

and help distribute admission 

stickers and schedules to 

guests. Food service workers 

are needed to help prepare 

and/or serve food to re-enac- 

tors at lunch time both days 

and dinner time on Saturday. 

Battle guides will help make 

sure guests get to the proper 

viewing areas and not venture 

onto the battle tactical area 

during the battle re-enact- 

ments. 

To inquire about volunteer- 

ing for the weekend and to dis- 

cuss shift times, send an e-mail 

to Rick Finch at rfinch@ohio- 

history.org or call the fort at 

419-874-4121.

NWSD 

holds 

open house 

The Northwestern Water 

and Sewer District hosted an 

open house at 12560 Middleton 

Pike, on Sunday, April 21. 

Employees, board members, 

elected officials and customers 

were all invited. 

Formed in 1994, the District 

moved to its present location 

with new buildings in 

2002. An expansion and remodeling 

was just completed 

at the site at a cost of approximately 

$3.5 million. 

The District provides 

water and sanitary sewer service 

to approximately 15,000 

customers throughout Wood 

County and Scott Township in 

Sandusky County. They operate 

10 water and 13 sewer 

plants, more than 85 pump 

stations and eight water towers 

around the county. Treatment 

for water and sewer 

services is provided under 

contract by the communities 

of Toledo, Bowling Green, 

Oregon, Fostoria, Perrysburg 

and Lucas County (sewer 

plant). 

The District has absorbed 

utility responsibilities in the 

past few years with the villages 

of Weston, Cygnet and 

Bloomdale as well as the City 

of Rossford. New customers 

have also come from projects 

in Custar, Milton Center and 

West Millgrove as well as 

new users in Perrysburg 

Township, Middleton Township 

and other areas throughout 

Wood County. 

The District has been actively 

involved in economic 

development projects in the 

county playing an integral 

role in new development at 

the CSX facility in Henry 

Township, the Troy Township 

(Job Ready Site) location, the 

new FedEx location in Northwood 

as well as the other 

FedEx location in Perrysburg 

Township. It also provides 

service in the Crossroads, Access 

Pointe, Ampoint and 

Cedar Creek commercial 

areas and some other commercial, 

industrial and retail 

users around the county. It is 

an active corporate member 

of the Wood County Economic 

Development Commission 

and Wood County 

Port Authority. 

The District is self-supported 

financially operating 

with an annual budget funded 

entirely through user fees, 

grants and long-term loans. 

The District is operated by 

a board of directors who include: 

John Cheney, John 

Current, Bill Davies, William 

Hirzel, Melinda Kale, 

Leonard Michaels, Alex Molner, 

Lyle Schulte and Adam 

Seibert. A staff of approximately 

65 employees who 

hold approximately 122 EPA 

operating licenses.

ODOT releases road construction schedule for summer 2013 

By Jane Maiolo 

Area residents wondering 

what detours to expect this 

summer found out on April 

10, when the Ohio Department 

of Transportation District 

Two announced its road 

construction project plans for 

this summer. 

Todd Audet, ODOT district 

two deputy director, discussed 

what is in store for 

northwest Ohio drivers during 

a special meeting in Perrysburg. 

The theme for this year’s 

construction is “Keeping 

Ohio’s Economy Moving,” 

and toward that end, Mr. 

Audet said the press conference 

was held at the Town 

Center at Levis Commons 

due to its proximity to a big 

project. 

“One of the major areas of 

work that will impact traffic 

this year in district two is a 

project that will add a turn 

lane from northbound State 

Route 25 to eastbound I-475. 

At peak travel times, many of 

you are familiar with the congestion. 

This [turn lane] will 

add capacity and reduce congestion,” 

he explained. 

During construction, motorists 

can expect lane restrictions 

on Route 25 from 

Roachton Road to I-475. 

The ramp from northbound 

Route 25 to eastbound 

I-475 will be closed from Friday 

at 7 p.m. to Monday at 5 

a.m. The project will be complete 

in August at a cost of 

$333,000. 

ODOT also will be resurfacing 

Route 25 from Front to 

East South Boundary streets. 

The resurfacing includes the 

U.S. Route 20 and Route 25 

intersection. The work will be 

complete in December at a 

cost of $500,000. 

Mr. Audet said statewide, 

ODOT is launching one of its 

largest construction seasons 

with projects totaling $2.3 

billion. ODOT will begin or 

continue construction of 

nearly 1,000 projects 

throughout the state, including 

more than 70 in northwest 

Ohio. 

In district two, which encompasses 

the counties of 

Fulton, Henry, Lucas, Ottawa, 

Sandusky, Seneca, 

Recent events in Boston 

and Texas emphasize the importance 

of knowing what to 

do when an emergency occurs. 

Even as first responders 

rushed into help at both 

scenes, much of the initial 

care to the injured was provided 

by friends, neighbors 

and bystanders who were 

trained in CPR and first aid. 

Whether the emergency is 

community-wide and involves 

numerous injuries, or 

involves a single individual 

being hurt at home, it is vital 

that someone close by knows 

what to do when such an 

emergency occurs. 

“Getting yourself and your 

family more prepared for disasters 

can bring peace of 

mind during trying times and 

can help save someone’s life 

during future emergencies,” 

said Tim Yenrick, regional 

CEO of American Red Cross 

of Northwest Ohio. “Taking 

an action like downloading 

Williams and Wood, ODOT 

will spend more than $170 

million. 

Mr. Audet said the aggressive 

construction season can 

be attributed to House Bill 

51, which allows the state to 

leverage the Ohio Turnpike, 

and use the revenue toward 

infrastructure improvements 

statewide. He noted that 90 

percent of the funds raised 

will be used within 75 miles 

of the turnpike. 

He explained that leveraging 

the turnpike has helped 

make up for funds the state 

has been losing through gas 

taxes. More energy efficient 

vehicles and fewer people 

traveling has led to a decline 

in gas tax revenue over the 

past few years, he added. 

Mr. Audet said that in addition 

to construction projects, 

Ohio motorists will see 

another change beginning 

July 1. “Ohio joins 34 states 

in increasing the speed limit 

on rural interstates to 70 

miles per hour, he said, 

adding, “Urban and congested 

areas will remain 65 

mph.” 

ODOT officials reminded 

the traveling public to remain 

cautious on the state’s highways 

this summer. “Please 

obey the speed limit when 

driving through orange barrel 

construction zones,” said 

Theresa Pollick of the district 

two communications office. 

“The top three causes of 

work zone crashes are following 

too close, failure to 

control and improper lane 

change–all of which can be 

prevented by safe driving,” 

she added. 

She referred to ODOT’s 

Web site www.ohgo.com for 

the latest road conditions and 

details on highway construction 

projects. 

Wood County Projects 

In addition to the Route 25 

turn lane projects, the following 

are projects taking place 

this summer. 

•U.S. Route 20 lane addition–expect 

intermittent lane 

restrictions on Route 20 for 

the construction of left turn 

lanes at the intersection of 

Route 20 and Lime City 

Road. Route 20 will close for 

five days for railroad tie-in 

our first aid, taking a first aid 

class or building a disaster 

supply kit can help people 

feel empowered to act when 

disaster strikes.” 

The American Red Cross 

has numerous ways people 

can get the information and 

training they need to be able 

to help when an emergency 

occurs and urges everyone to 

be better prepared by taking 

advantage of training and mobile 

apps available to teach 

them what to do when someone 

needs assistance. 

The Red Cross has classes 

available that emphasize 

hands-on-learning of first aid, 

cardiopulmonary resuscitation 

(CPR) and use of an automatede 

external defibrillator 

(AED). The courses teach 

someone the skills they need 

to help save a life. Participants 

learn how to respond to common 

first aid emergencies, 

how to respond to cardiac and 

breathing emergencies in 

work. Motorists will be detoured 

via Oregon Road, 

Route 795 and I-75. The 

project will be complete in 

October at a projected cost of 

$704,400.

Austin to celebrate 94th birthday 

By Morgan Keel 

“Quickly, I realized that 

human love and having children 

was something I wanted 

to complete in my life.” 

– Dorothy Jane Austin 

“Carpe Diem –live your 

life to the fullest, be spontaneous, 

and go for it.” I have 

heard these words many 

times growing up from my 

great-grandmother, but never 

really had a grasp on truly 

what these words meant until 

now. 

As I finish up my second 

year of college, majoring in 

journalism, these words in 

every aspect represent my Dorothy Jane Austin 

grandmother, Dorothy Jane 

Austin. Dorothy has and still continues today at the ripe age 

of 94 to live by these words. Grabbing life by its horns and 

enjoying the ride every second of it rain or shine. Pushing 

not only herself to complete and make adventures, but others 

around her, pushing them to be better for themselves. I've 

learned many things from her, but the most important one is 

that not everyone is going to like you and that’s ok. 

There are days when you stand alone and days when you 

don’t. Just make sure you can look yourself in the mirror and 

you’re true to yourself. 

On behalf of my family and I, we would like to wish a 

wonderful 94th birthday to this amazing woman. We love 

you grandma.

fit and capable of running a 5K or 1 Mile walk. I have sufficiently trained for the competition of this event.

Shop TALK 

Brown & Brown, Inc. has 

announced that Benjamin 

Goff has been named executive 

vice president and profit 

center leader for the Perrysburg 

office. Mr. Goff accepted 

the new role after serving as 

vice president of employee 

benefits division for the Ohio 

office since August 2008 when 

his company, Great Lakes 

Risk Management, Inc., 

merged with Brown & Brown. 

He succeeds Jerry Zaccardelli, 

who served as interim vice 

president of the Perrysburg office. 

Prior to its acquisition by Benjamin Goff 

the national company, the Perrysburg 

office of Brown & Brown of Ohio was the former 

Daniel James Insurance Group that had served local and regional 

customers since 1975. In 1998, the Daniel James Insurance 

Group was one of the largest acquisitions of the year 

for Brown & Brown. The Perrysburg office gained new benefits 

from national resources, while remaining decentralized 

and retaining independence to manage its operations locally. 

Since joining Brown & Brown in 2008, Mr. Goff’s focus 

remained on group health and benefits, and the growth in 

that department has exceeded his initial expectations, even 

in tough economic and legislative conditions. “My plan is 

to devote lots of energy to elevating the personal lines and 

small/mid-size commercial business insurance for property 

and casualty divisions to the same level as I’ve done with 

group health and benefits,” he said. 

In addition to managing the agency, Mr. Goff will begin 

seeking out growth opportunities from across the state of 

Ohio. “Brown & Brown has grown into the seventh largest 

insurance brokerage firm in the United States, and continues 

to acquire quality agencies and recruit top talent as part of 

its business plan,” he said. “I am very excited about having 

the opportunity to find and recruit other profitable agencies 

and people to join the Brown & Brown of Ohio team.” 

Mr. Goff is a graduate of Bowling Green University with 

a degree in insurance and risk management. He currently 

serves on Brown & Brown’s National Employee Benefits 

Steering committee and is recognized as a regional expert in 

the areas of health care reform and employee benefit plan 

design. He is past president of the Northwest Ohio Better 

Business Bureau, past state legislative chairman for the 

Ohio Health Underwriters Association, and past president 

for the Epilepsy Center of Northwest Ohio.

In Memor of 

Janet Wood 

In loving memory of my 

beloved mother, Janet D. Wood, 

who passed away April 25, 1988. 

It has been twenty-five years since 

you’ve been gone and though it 

hasn’t been easy, God knows I’ve 

tried to be strong. I have our precious memories, they linger 

within my mind, and how can I help but miss you, no one 

knows the bitter pain I have suffered since I lost you, and 

life has not been the same. There is not a day, Mom, that I 

do not think of you. To me you were very special, God 

must have thought so too. My heart still aches with loneliness 

because you went away. Even though the years have 

come and gone, I still miss you. You will live in my heart 

forever. I love you. Sadly missed by Trina

PROCLAMATION 

WHEREAS, In 1872, J. Sterling Morton proposed to the Nebraska Board of 

Agriculture that a special day be set aside for the planting of trees, 

and 

WHEREAS, this holiday, called Arbor Day, was first observed with the planting 

of more than a million trees in Nebraska, and 

WHEREAS, Arbor Day is now observed throughout the nation and the world, 

and 

WHEREAS, trees are a renewal resource giving us paper, wood for our homes, 

fuel for our fires and countless other wood products, and 

WHEREAS, trees in our city increase property values, enhance the economic 

vitality of business areas, and beautify our community, and 

WHEREAS, trees, wherever they are planted, are a source of joy and spiritual 

renewal, and 

WHEREAS, The City of Perrysburg has been recognized as a Tree City USA 

by the National Arbor Day Foundation and desires to continue its 

tree-planting practices. 

NOW, THEREFORE, I, NELSON D. EVANS, Mayor of the City of Perrysburg, 

do hereby proclaim April 26, 2013 as 

ARBOR DAY 

in the City of Perrysburg, and I urge all citizens to celebrate Arbor Day and to 

support efforts to protect our trees and woodlands, and 

FURTHER, I urge all citizens to plant trees to gladden the hearts and promote 

the well-being of this and future generations. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great 

Seal of the City of Perrysburg to be affixed this 26th day of April in the Year of 

our Lord, Two Thousand and Thirteen. 

Nelson D. Evans, Mayor 

City of Perrysburg

Drug take-back collection 

at two locations April 27 

Area residents are invited 

to turn in their unused or 

expired medications at a 

drug “take-back” day on 

Saturday, April 27. 

The Perrysburg Police 

Division and the Perrysburg 

Township Police and Fire 

Departments will assist the 

Drug Enforcement Administration 

with the collection. 

Locally, collections will 

be held at Walgreen’s, 

10003 Fremont Pike, and the 

Perrysburg police station, 

330 Walnut Street, from 10 

a.m. to 2 p.m. 

The service is free and 

anonymous, and no questions 

will be asked. 

Local residents are 

encouraged to empty their 

medicine cabinets, bedside 

tables and kitchen drawers 

of unwanted, unused and 

expired prescription drugs. 

Last fall, the DEA’s state 

and local law enforcement 

partners, working at more 

than 5,263 locations, collected 

488,395 pounds (244 

tons) of medications from 

the public. 

In the five years of Take 

Back events, they have collected 

more than 2 million 

pounds–1,018 tons– of pills. 

The nationwide prescrip- 

tion drug take-back initiative 

seeks to prevent increased 

pill abuse and theft by collecting 

potentially dangerous 

expired, unused and 

unwanted prescription drugs 

for destruction at sites 

nationwide. 

Many Americans do not 

know how to properly dispose 

of their unused medicine, 

often flushing them 

down the toilet or throwing 

them away–both potential 

safety and health hazards. 

According to the 2011 

Substance Abuse and Mental 

Health Services Administration’s 

National Survey on 

Drug Use and Health, more 

than six million Americans 

abuse prescription drugs. 

That same study revealed 

more than 70 percent of people 

abusing prescription pain 

relievers got them through 

friends or relatives, a statistic 

that includes raiding the 

family medicine cabinet. 

The National Prescription 

Drug Take-Back Day 

aims to provide a safe, convenient, 

and responsible 

means of disposal, while 

also educating the general 

public about the potential 

for abuse of these medications. 

Glass City Marathon events 

to remember tragedy at Boston race 

Marathon will be featured 

at the Marathon Expo, 

scheduled for 10 a.m. to 6 

p.m. on Saturday, April 27. 

“With our Marathon 

coming so soon after the 

horrific events of the 

Boston Marathon, we have 

a special responsibility to 

remember those affected by 

the bombings while honoring 

the bond of runners 

everywhere,” said Clint 

McCormick, race director. 

The team representing 

the police forces of the 

City of Toledo, Ottawa 

Hills, Sylvania Township, 

City of Sylvania and The 

University of Toledo has 

reviewed all security systems 

and protocols. All 

safety measures are in 

place, and will be continuously 

reviewed as race day 

approaches. 

Inside the Glass Bowl, 

runners and spectators will 

be greeted with a banner 

that commemorates the 

unity between the Boston 

Marathon and the Medical 

Mutual Glass City 

Marathon. Runners will be 

given commemorative 

wristbands to wear in this 

and future races. The wristbands 

will carry the phrase 

“runners united,” and be in 

the Boston Marathon colors 

of yellow and blue. 

“We’ll also remember 

the Boston Marathon with 

a moment of silence just 

prior to the 7 a.m. start of 

our Marathon, Half- 

Marathon and Marathon 

Relay,” said Mr. 

McCormick. The 5K run 

begins at 7:15 a.m. 

In addition, Marathon 

officials recommend supporting 

its official charities 

as a way to make a positive 

impact in our local area. 

Official charities include 

the Great Lakes Collaborative 

for Autism, Maumee 

Valley Habitat for Humanity, 

Kids Unlimited, Family 

House, Catholic Charities 

USA, Girls on the Run and 

Research Down Syndrome. 

At the national level, visit 

www.redcross.org to learn 

more about making financial 

or blood donations. 

“The best short-term 

action is the community’s 

support for the Marathon. 

Wear yellow and blue in 

solidarity with the Boston 

Marathon,” he said. “But 

more important, come out 

and support the participants 

of the Medical Mutual 

Glass City Marathon and 

their families and friends 

along the route,” he said. 

“It will mean a great deal 

to all the runners.”

Local business leaders, 

representatives from educational 

institutions and speakers 

discussed career options 

with about 100 area high 

school students from Penta

Based Intervention program 

at a job fair on April 19.

Toledo Zoo and Gordon 

Food Service as well as representatives 

from Herzing 

University, Universal Technical 

Institute, U.S. military, 

the Ironworkers and Penta 

Adult and Continuing Education. 

“This is an opportunity 

for our students who are getting 

ready to graduate, the 

opportunity to talk with 

employers and educational 

institutions as they prepare 

for life after high school, 

said Phil Stockwell, CBI 

instructor. “This event helps 

students make employment 

connections and build confidence.” 

The event also featured 

presentations on different 

topics including one on 

“How to get hired and keep 

your money.” 

Dana Delph-Ruffner, CBI 

instructor for Perrysburg and 

Rossford Schools, believes 

the fair will be helpful to her 

students. CBI students earn 

three elected credits per year 

by working a job for a minimum 

15 hours per week, she 

explained.

regular classroom environment. 

“It’s an alternative 

path to graduation,” she 

said. 

Dawson Shaw of Springfield 

Schools was among 

those attending the job fair. 

Currently working at Granite 

City Brewery in the 

Shops at Fallen Timbers, he 

has been looking into enlisting 

in the U.S. Army sometime 

after graduation. 

The senior enjoys being 

in the CBI program. “I like 

it. It is a really easy way to 

get work experience and 

school credit,” he said, 

adding. “It’s more engaging 

than sitting in the classroom.” 

Dawson learned about 

the program from his guid- 

ance counselor, Tim Reiser. 

The teen worked at KFC 

before landing the job at 

Granite City Brewery. “It 

was rough starting, but I 

stuck with it and got a lot 

better. It’s a very fun place 

to work,” he said. 

As for a future career in 

the restaurant industry, Dawson 

said, “That would be 

nice. I’d like to own my own 

business.” 

Perrysburg Schools senior 

Nick Edwards learned 

about the program from his 

guidance counselor Dawn 

Burks. He believes the program 

is a good fit. “I wasn’t 

much for homework,” he 

said. 

Nick is employed at Blue 

Pacific Grill at Levis Commons. 

“It’s a good place to 

work,” he said of the job he 

has held since last summer. 

After graduation, Nick 

plans to attend Owens Community 

College and earn an 

associate degree in business. 

“I want to open my own 

restaurant.” 

Of the CBI program, he 

said, “I like it. I’m graduating,” 

and he was appreciative 

of the job fair. “It’s a lot 

of good information.” 

The goal of CBI is to 

help students become productive 

workers and earn 

credits toward graduation 

with the cooperation of 

employers, parents and the 

school district.

School boys tennis team traveled 

to Upper Arlington on 

Saturday, April 20, to participate 

in the UA Invitational. 

Teams invited to the event included 

Perrysburg, Springboro 

and New Albany. Upper 

Arlington is the defending 

state champion from last season. 

The highlight of the match 

with UA vs. Perrysburg was 

at first singles. 

Perrysburg’s Jeffrey 

Schorsch was matched with 

state contender Stuart Little in 

a classic battle that many 

might say is the future D-1 

Ohio State Singles Championship 

match in Columbus 

later in June. 

Jeffrey jumped out to a 

first set win 7-5, with the second 

set being very tight. 

At 4-4, a close line call 

was made by Jeffrey, and 

when challenged by his opponent 

he gave the point back to 

him. 

Jeffrey went on to win that 

second set 6-4, which won 

him the match. 

Troy Weider, at second 

singles also demonstrated a 

competitive fire, taking his 

opponent to a tie-break but coming up two points short.

As the spring semester 

nears an end, many students 

are about to reach the pinnacle 

of their academic careers 

by receiving a college 

diploma. However, the parties

the graduate’s cap and gown

gown in the college’s Student 

Health and Activities Center 

Room 165 on the campus in 

Perrysburg Township starting 

April 24. Donated items will

“Owens Community College’s 

Student Government 

sees the cap and gown collection

back by donating their cap 

and gown to those less fortunate 

students,” said Marlissa

St. Rose School to present 

spring musical April 26-28 

By Ashley Keane and 

Renee Mortemore 

Every year, at Saint Rose 

School, the students in 

grades 4-8 present a spring 

musical. This year is the 

tenth spring musical presented 

by the Saint Rose 

School students. 

The work involved 

strengthens the lives of the 

students in many ways. Students 

participate and enjoy 

performing for others and 

they also enjoy working with 

their friends to present a 

great show. 

Students go through 

months of preparation for 

this annual performance. 

They learn many dances, 

songs, acting skills and the 

character traits of the character 

that they are portraying. 

The students interact 

with Saint Rose school 

teachers, who are the directors, 

as well as the other students 

who are part of the 

cast and crews. 

“It is a lot of hard work 

and requires a great deal of 

dedication, and it also involves 

a lot of spirit. It’s all 

about having fun while 

working hard,” said eighth 

grader Darcy Cavanagh, who

is one if the cast members. 

This year, Saint Rose will 

be presenting Disney’s 

“Beauty and the Beast Jr.” 

During auditions in January, 

many anxious fourth 

through eighth grade students 

waited for their chance 

to obtain a role, preferably a 

lead role. 

“I felt nervous but excited 

because I didn’t know what 

to expect when it came to 

what role I would receive,” 

said Renee Mortemore, one 

of the students chosen. 

Roles were posted a few 

days after auditions, which 

created loud excitement in 

the hallways. 

Maggie Hunter and Jake 

Cowan rejoiced as they 

learned that they would be 

transforming themselves into 

the lead characters of the 

musical, Belle and the Beast. 

“A bunch of my friends 

participate in the musical 

too. Being backstage and 

stressing over some of the 

things related to the musical 

and the theater is something I 

love because I am a dramatic 

person,” Maggie said. 

This year, a new co-director 

is working with the talented 

cast and singing coach 

and other co-director, Tracy 

Fahim. 

“I was presented with this 

opportunity, and I jumped on 

it. I love being back in the 

theater setting and working 

with a musical again,” said 

new co-director Ashley 

Gibel. 

Disney’s Beauty and the 

Beast Jr. will be performed 

April 26 and 27, at 7 p.m., 

and April 28, at 2 p.m., in the 

Saint Rose School auditorium. 

Tickets can be purchased 

in the school office. 

They are $10 for adults and 

$8 for students in grade 8 

and under and seniors.

of Art at the Starbucks 

in Levis Commons, Perrysburg. 

The current display entitled 

“Reflections of Nature” 

features the work of Prizm 

artist Brenda Baker and will 

be on view through May 30. 

The display encompasses an 

array of watercolor works 

depicting detailed paintings 

of nature and wildlife, many 

of which are native to northwest 

Ohio. 

Ms. Baker utilizes an intensive 

watercolor style that 

is often referred to as meticulous 

dry brush. The techniques 

have been used for 

centuries from illuminated 

manuscripts and into modern 

times by artists such as Andrew 

Wyeth. The effect is 

achieved by several layers of 

transparent pigment with the 

last details being more 

opaque. Her technical approach 

reveals her love of detail 

and her desire to 

communicate the intimate relationship 

between the artist

is that art serves to illuminate 

and define the human 

experience; both through 

man’s relationship with nature 

and man’s relationship

Bowling Green, Ohio. She received

World Affairs Council welcomes exchange students from Hungary 

The World Affairs Council 

of Northwest Ohio recently 

welcomed four 

students and a principal from 

Szeged, Hungary. The girls 

range in age from 13 to15. A 

potluck dinner reception was 

held in their honor on April 

30, at the Hungarian Club of 

Toledo. 

The purpose of the exchange 

is to provide participants 

the opportunity to visit 

the northwest Ohio area in 

order to participate in a program 

specifically designed to 

give them a cultural perspective 

of the area, and to further 

build skills in civic 

engagement and leadership 

skills. Programs are designed 

to expose them to successful 

professionals, especially females 

who have been successful 

in their fields. There 

also will be an opportunity to 

compare educational practices 

in the U.S. and Hungary, 

especially regarding 

service learning and youth 

voice. Participants also will 

increase their English language 

skills through this immersion. 

The guests will visit local 

schools including Perrysburg, 

Eastwood, Central 

Academy of Ohio, as well as 

a school in the Chicago area. 

They will spend a day at 

Bowling Green State University 

with a program sponsored 

by the International 

Democratic Education Institute 

and will spend some 

time on the University of 

Toledo campus. 

Other programs will be 

provided by the Arts Council 

Dr. Ezumeh Gyorgyi with students Daniella Ferenczi, Viktoria Bende, Reka Voros, Zsofia 

Botka at the World Affairs Council welcome event. 

Lake Erie West, Imagination 

Station, The Toledo Zoo, 

Perrysburg Heights Community 

Center, and the Hungarian 

Club of Toledo. Special 

luncheons will be sponsored 

by the local chapter of Zonta 

International and the International 

Awareness Committee 

of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. 

Other excursions for the 

group include a trip to the 

Chicago area and an 

overnight stay on South Bass 

Island, and a tour of Put-in- 

Bay sponsored by the 

Toledo-Szeged Committee. 

The group will be hosted 

by families of students in the 

Perrysburg and Eastwood 

school districts, and they will 

experience typical family life 

in northwest Ohio, as well as 

special activities these families 

will arrange. 

The students will share 

their cultural perspective 

with the families and serve 

as a prime example of the 

value of world language acquisition. 

These students are 

proficient in English at an 

age when American students 

are typically just starting to 

learn another language. 

“It has been said that ‘cultural 

exchange is a bridge to 

enhance the mutual understanding 

and friendship between 

the people of different 

nations,’ well, here in northwest 

Ohio we are building 

those bridges,” said Bill Hilt, 

president of the World Affairs 

Council of Northwest 

Ohio. “And this bridge is a 

two-way street of learning 

and understanding.” 

TMA April programs 

The Toledo Museum of 

Art announces the following 

program highlights for April. 

Admission is free. 

Exhibition Openings 

Crossing Cultures: The 

Owen and Wagner Collection 

of Contemporary Aboriginal 

Australian Art at the 

Hood Museum of Art 

through July 14, in Canaday 

Gallery. The first major exhibition 

of Aboriginal Australian 

art in this region in 

more than 20 years, Crossing 

Cultures: The Owen and Wagner 

Collection of Contemporary 

Aboriginal Australian Art 

from the Hood Museum of 

Art features approximately 

120 works of contemporary 

Indigenous art from Australia. 

The works, most created since 

2000, represent the many artmaking 

practices of Aboriginal 

peoples across the 

Australian continent, including 

acrylic paintings on canvas, 

earthen ochre paintings 

on bark, sculpture and photography. 

Organized by the Hood 

Museum of Art, the Toledo 

showing is made possible by 

TMA members with the support 

of the Ohio Arts Council 

through a sustainability grant 

from the National Endowment 

of Arts. Free admission. 

The companion catalog is 

available for purchase through 

the Museum Store and its 

Web site. 

Symbols, Stories and Social 

Justice, April 19 through 

June 13, in the Community 

Gallery. Art students from the 

University of Toledo explored 

how Aboriginal Australian 

artists express their relationship 

to the land, how they use 

symbolic meanings throughout 

their works, and reflect social 

justice issues. 

In conjunction with the 

Crossing Cultures: The Owen 

and Wagner Collection of 

Contemporary Aboriginal 

Australian Art from the Hood 

Museum of Art exhibition, the 

students created their own 

personal symbols and explored 

their own narratives, 

hidden meanings and personal 

attachments to the land. 

Native Lands and Other 

Stories, April 19 through June 

13, in the Community Gallery. 

In conjunction with Crossing 

Cultures: The Owen and Wagner 

Collection of Contemporary 

Aboriginal Australian Art 

from the Hood Museum of 

Art, participants in the Toledo 

Museum of Art ArtReach 

workshops examined how 

Aboriginal Australian art celebrates 

one’s native land. 

Some used aerial views of 

the Toledo region–including 

the Maumee River, farmland 

and urban downtown–as inspiration 

to paint their own 

native land. Others used their 

personal stories to illustrate 

narratives, much like the Aboriginal 

tradition of explaining 

origins through art. Free ad- 

mission. 

Slow Art Day Workshop, 

April 27, from 10 am. to noon. 

Participants should meet in 

the Green Room. The Toledo

‘Good Choices’ classes offered at Way Library 

The Wood County Education 

Service Center is offering 

“Guiding Good 

Choices ® ” an interactive 

five-part program for parents 

of students entering 

middle and high school. 

The next session begins 

April 25, at 6:30 p.m., at 

Way Public Library. 

As a child prepares to 

enter middle or high school, 

he or she will confront many 

new experiences. 

Peer pressure and exposure 

to alcohol and drugs are 

only two of these challenges. 

The nationally-recognized 

program gives parents 

the skills they need to help 

say no to substance abuse 

and other harmful choices. 

Parents will receive tips on 

establishing the clear expectations 

and solid communication 

that help adolescents 

exercise sound judgement. 

The workshops are free 

for attending parents. 

Child care and a light 

dinner will be provided each 

week. 

Parents may attend all or 

any sessions, and walk-ins 

are welcome. 

The “Guiding Good 

Choices” series will be offered 

throughout the year in 

various locations in Wood 

County. 

The program is funded in 

part by the federal Safe 

Schools, Healthy Students 

Grant.

Perrysburg receives Tree City USA designation for the 29th year 

Perrysburg was recently 

recognized for the 29th year 

as a Tree City USA. 

The awards were presented 

to the Tree City USA 

communities by the Ohio 

Department of Natural 

Resources, Division of 

Forestry at Hope United 

Methodist Church in Whitehouse. 

The title of Tree City 

USA was bestowed upon 

Perrysburg for demonstrating 

environmental improvement 

and a higher level of 

tree care. 

Perrysburg achieved Tree 

City USA recognition by 

meeting the program’s four 

requirements: a tree board 

or department, a tree-care 

ordinance, an annual community 

forestry budget of at 

least $2 per capita and an 

Arbor Day observance and 

proclamation. 

“Everyone benefits when 

elected officials, volunteers 

and committed citizens in 

communities like Perrysburg 

make smart investments 

in urban forests,” said 

John Rosenow, founder and 

chief executive of the Arbor 

Day Foundation. “Trees 

bring shade to our homes 

and beauty to our neighborhoods, 

along with numerous

Perrysburg Symphony 

Chorale at the Way Public 

Library on Saturday, April 

27, at 2 p.m. The ensemble 

will be performing the 

madrigal, “The Nightingale” 

by Thomas Weelkes. The 

group, one of four ensembles 

from Perrysburg High 

School, performed the 

same piece at the Ohio 

Music Education Association 

competition in February 

as a Class A piece and 

received a Superior rating. 

The performance at Way 

Library will be presented to 

the public for free as a 

thank you to the community 

for its support. 

Pictured are members of 

the PHS Women’s Ensemble,

also will be presented 

to the audience on 

Friday, April 26, at 7 p.m., at 

Trinity Church, Toledo, and 

Sunday, April 28, at 2 p.m., 

at the First United 

Methodist Church, Perrysburg. 

Tickets are $10 and $5 

for students and seniors 

for these performances.

opportunity for people to 

be empowered through 

their canine companion 

partnerships and to contribute 

to cancer cures 

through the mission of the 

ty to become qualified as a 

Tree City USA. The Urban 

Forester recommends a 

community to the Arbor 

Day Foundation for this 

standing. 

The state of Ohio currently 

boasts the greatest 

number of Tree Cities in the 

country, with a grand total 

this past year of 235. Fiftythree 

of northwest Ohio’s 

communities are Tree Cities 

and Ohio Northern University 

is a tree campus. All

Canine companions 

represent unconditional 

love, security, compassion, 

joy and no judgments of 

human abilities or appearances. 

The ACS Bark for 

Life is an irresistible way 

to “take the bite out of 

cancer,” smile and make 

new friends–canine and 

human.

When the curtain rises 

on Perrysburg High 

School’s production of 

“Footloose,” audiences will 

be transported to Bomont, 

Utah–a small rural town, 

where rock music and 

dancing have been banned, 

until a rebellious teenager 

moves in and really shakes 

things up. 

It took more than 50 

students and hundreds of 

hours to transform the 

stage into this fictional 

town. Perrysburg senior 

Morgan Shank is the stage 

manager who oversees all 

the crews for light, sound 

and stage. 

“The work began back 

in February,” Morgan said. 

“And with set construction 

and about three weeks 

before the show we start 

with sound, then it’s about 

five hours a night.” 

The crew had to build 

several sets–a huge church, 

train tracks, and junkyard–all 

with different 

looks. This production 

also has two lighting 

crews. “Without giving 

too much away there are a 

couple of surprises for the 

audience,” said Morgan. 

“They involve curtains

Individuals with 

Williams Syndrome have 

extraordinary gifts and 

unique challenges. But not 

enough people know that. 

During May, volunteers 

for the Williams Syndrome 

Association (WSA) will 

work hard to inform the 

community and others 

across the country about 

the syndrome. 

As part of the awareness 

week, a Walk for 

Williams will take place in 

more than 50 locations 

throughout the country. 

Locally, a walk will be 

held at Grace United 

Methodist Church, 601 

East Boundary Street, 


“This is our second 

annual walk in Perrysburg 

Northwest Ohio,” said 

Michelle Self, one of the 

event organizers. “And it 

promises to be even bigger 

and better than last year.” 

Registration begins at 

9:30 a.m. at the church 

with the walk starting at 

10 a.m.. After the walk, 

participants and families 

are encouraged to return to 

the church for lunch, activities 

including a professional 

photographer, chair 

massages, moonwalk, raffles 

and silent auction. 

Entertainment will be provided 

by a DJ from Family 

Sound Entertainment 

along with Denise’s Dance 

Academy Dance Group. 

A group of six parents 

and grandparents of children 

with Williams Syndrome 

are organizing the 

annual local walk. 

The cost is $20 for an 

individual or $50 for a 

family of four. 

The Perrysburg Symphony 

Orchestra will conclude 

its 2012-13 season with a 

concert at the Owens Community 

College Fine Arts 

Building on Saturday, April 

27, at 3 p.m., under the leadership 

of Conductor Robert 

Mirakian. 

Dr. Carol Dusdieker, guest 

soloist for the concert, will 

Sing “Tomami a Vegheggiar” 

from “Alcina,” composed by 

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, 

and “Deh Vieni, Non Tardar” 

from “Le Nozza de Figaro,”

Recently featured on 

ABC’s “20/20” and 

MSNBC, Williams Syndrome 

is a genetic condition 

that is present at birth 

and can affect anyone. It is 

characterized by medical 

problems, including cardiovascular 

disease, developmental 

delay, and learning 

disabilities. These 

occur side by side with 

striking verbal abilities, 

highly social personalities 

and an affinity for music.

Dr. Dusdieker is an assistant 

professor at Heidelberg 

University. She received her 

doctoral and master’s degrees 

with voice emphasis from the 

Indiana University Jacobs 

School of Music. She has 

sung with various opera companies 

and symphonies 

throughout the United States, 

including Opera Cleveland,

where to go,” Morgan said. 

“The crew is basically the 

glue that holds the show 

together.” 

Performances are scheduled 

for Thursday, Friday 

and Saturday, April 25, 26 

and 27, at 8 p.m. with a 

matinee performance on 

people worldwide–an estimated 

20,000 to 30,000 

people in the United 

States. It is known to occur 

equally in males and 

females and in every culture. 

Children with this syndrome 

need costly and 

ongoing medical care, and 

early interventions (such 

as speech or occupational 

therapy) that may not be 

covered by insurance or 

state funding. As they 

grow, they struggle with 

things like spatial relations, 

numbers and 

abstract reasoning, which 

can make daily tasks a 

challenge. Additionally,

Carolyn and Tom St. Meyers took a cruise to Hawaii recently 

after spending a few days exploring San Francisco, 

California. 

“The 15-day cruise was highlighted by docking for a day

picture was taken on the island of Maui at the Haleakala National 

Park.

she explained. 

While in Hawaii, the couple also walked through a volcano 

tube and enjoyed a luau in Honolulu.

DAR hosts guest speaker from Quilts of Valor 

The Fort Industry Chapter 

of DAR invited Jeanette 

Fairman, of Perrysburg, to 

its April meeting at Way 

Public Library to speak 

about the Quilts of Valor 

Foundation. The Maumeebased 

non-profit agency was 

founded in 2008 by JoEllen 

Morris as part of the national 

organization founded in 

2003. 

The original purpose of 

the foundation was to provide 

a quilt to only injured 

service men and women, but 

the group has broadened its 

coverage to now include all 

combat military service 

members. It’s their way of 

honoring those who put their 

lives on the line for our 

country. To date, approximately 

83,000 quilts have 

been distributed on a national 

level, and as long as there 

are American service people 

in combat, Quilts of Valor 

will continue to make quilts 

for them. 

Ms. Fairman became 

involved in the local chapter 

when her own son was on 

his second tour of duty in 

Iraq. She started quilting at 

the age of 10, and now 

meets with about 11 other 

local quilters on the second 

Tuesday of every month at 

the Quilt Foundry in 

Maumee. The quilters work 

at home in between meetings, 

designing and making 

quilt tops out of red, white 

and blue all-cotton fabric. 

They then take the tops to 

the monthly meeting for the 

“long-armer” machines to 

do the batting and top stitching. 

The original quilter then 

finishes the quilt at home by 

sewing on the binding by 

hand. This is the only part 

of the quilt that is not sewn 

by machine. 

The Maumee Chapter of 

Quilts of Valor has awarded 

quilts to World War II veter- 

Fairgreen Preschool to hold annual 

clothing and toy sale Sat., April 27 

Fairgreen Preschool will 

hold its 39th annual clothing 

and toy sale on Saturday, 

April 27, from 8 a.m. to 3 

p.m. A half-off sale will be 

held from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. 

The sale will feature 

clothing for children from 

newborn to size 12, baby

are now busy building

Diocese of Toledo’s ‘White Mass’ 

to honor health care workers 

All health care workers 

are invited to attend. Bishop 

Leonard P. Blair will 

celebrate the Mass. 

The White Mass is 

called so because health 

care workers traditionally 

wear white coats. White 

also is a symbol in the 

church of hope and comfort 

to the ill and hospitalized. 

At the end of the Mass, 

Bishop Blair will offer a 

blessing over all of the 

health care professionals.

Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim 

Bearing a sophisticated score and a quirky take 

on our beloved Grimm fairy tales, the Junior 

version of “Into the Woods” is revised for 

content, run-time, and approachability by 

younger cast-members. In classic Sondheim 

style, “Woods” represented the American 

actor’s-musical at its best when it first 

appeared on Broadway, and certainly does 

today!

The inaugural award was 

presented to Welch Publishing 

in 2011 and last 

year the award was presented 

to WGTE ‘Toledo 

Stories’ series,” said Becky 

Visser, past president of 

HPI. “We decided to establish 

the award after reading 

more and more about Hilda 

Bentley and her family–we 

have to remember her and 

what she has done in historic 

preservation. We 

want to make sure that 

what she started continues 

not only in Perrysburg and 

in our neighboring communities 

but state and 

nationwide.” 

The late Mrs. Bentley

National Volunteer Week April 21-27 

Improve the lives of youth 

Currently 600-plus volunteers 

work with youth involved 

with the Ohio 

Department of Youth Services 

(DYS). Last year volunteers 

across Ohio provided 

29,739 hours of service to 

youth in DYS facilities and 

on parole. 

The agency offers opportunities 

for mentoring and volunteering 

for a variety of 

time commitments and levels 

of service. Volunteer training 

is provided, and volunteers 

can reap great rewards knowing 

that they have made a 

positive impact on the life of 

a youth. 

“The value of a committed 

volunteer is immeasurable 

for youth when it comes to 

personal growth and development,” 

said Harvey Reed, director 

of the Ohio 

Department of Youth Services. 

“Mentoring is a key to 

realizing our vision of a Safer 

Ohio: one youth, one family 

and one community at a 

time.” 

All youth committed to 

DYS will eventually return to 

their communities. DYS volunteers 

and mentors engage 

youth in a variety of meaningful 

activities in an effort to 

teach life skills and aid youth 

in successful reentry back to 

their community. 

“Let’s just say that 

comfort is our thing.”
