This is <strong>the</strong> conclusion <strong>of</strong><br />

a series on <strong>the</strong> City <strong>of</strong> <strong>Perrysburg</strong>’s<br />

departments, divisions,<br />

<strong>of</strong>fices and bureaus.<br />

By Mayor<br />

Nelson Evans<br />

Over <strong>the</strong> past few<br />

months <strong>the</strong> <strong>Perrysburg</strong><br />

<strong>Messenger</strong> <strong>Journal</strong> has<br />

been running a series <strong>of</strong><br />

articles on your city workers<br />

and <strong>the</strong> jobs <strong>the</strong>y do for<br />

you every day.<br />

These were meant to be<br />

a forum to introduce you to<br />

<strong>the</strong> employees who work<br />

for you, as well as instructional<br />

in <strong>the</strong> specifics <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

daily operations <strong>the</strong>y perform.<br />

I hope you found<br />

<strong>the</strong>m helpful and enlightening.<br />

There seems to be much<br />

angst today about government<br />

and its role in our<br />

lives, its efficiency versus<br />

<strong>the</strong> private sector, and <strong>the</strong><br />

employees who provide <strong>the</strong><br />

services.<br />

I can assure you that <strong>the</strong><br />

administration and council<br />

are constantly working on<br />

efficiencies that don’t<br />

reduce <strong>the</strong> quality service<br />

provided. We have no problem<br />

contracting with <strong>the</strong><br />

private sector for work that<br />

can be done at a lower cost<br />

and <strong>of</strong> higher quality.<br />

I may be biased, but<br />

your city employees are <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> highest quality. They do<br />

so many things, so well, and<br />

on many occasions over and<br />

above what <strong>the</strong>y are<br />

required to do. They know<br />

<strong>the</strong>y are <strong>the</strong>re because <strong>of</strong><br />

you, <strong>the</strong> taxpayer. There are<br />

a few glitches now and<br />

<strong>the</strong>n, but I would put <strong>the</strong>m<br />

up against any workers in<br />

America today.<br />

Our society and its<br />

expectations have changed<br />

dramatically since we <strong>of</strong>ficially<br />

became a city in<br />

1960.<br />

As a former police <strong>of</strong>ficer,<br />

I like to use <strong>the</strong> example<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Kerner Commission<br />

in <strong>the</strong> 1960s that was<br />

created as a result <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

riots during that time. One<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> recommendations <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> commission was to have<br />

a more educated police<br />

force sensitive to <strong>the</strong> issues<br />

<strong>of</strong> poverty, mental illness<br />

and o<strong>the</strong>r community needs.<br />

Soon after, colleges and<br />

universities started <strong>of</strong>fering<br />

criminal justice and law<br />

GARBAGE COLLECTION<br />

Garbage, recycling<br />

<strong>January</strong> 4, because <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> New Year’s holiday.<br />

enforcement degrees. States<br />

started police academies to<br />

train and certify police candidates.<br />

Hopefully <strong>the</strong> public<br />

feels <strong>the</strong>y are getting a better<br />

service as a result <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong>se standards. Additionally,<br />

firefighters are now paramedics,<br />

water and water<br />

pollution control staff have<br />

to be licensed, general labor<br />

employees have to have<br />

CDLs and o<strong>the</strong>r certifications<br />

to operate equipment.<br />

In addition, <strong>the</strong> EPA, <strong>the</strong><br />

Bureau <strong>of</strong> Workers Compensation<br />

and o<strong>the</strong>r federal<br />

and state safety and regulatory<br />

agencies have enacted<br />

many rules and processes to<br />

<strong>the</strong> city’s operations.<br />

My job is to try and<br />

strike a balance between<br />

employee quality, education<br />

and pay with service excellence<br />

and governmental<br />

regulations at a reasonable<br />

cost. The city has not raised<br />

its income taxes since <strong>the</strong><br />

early 1970s. I see no reason<br />

to increase that in <strong>the</strong> future<br />

despite <strong>the</strong> state cuts that all<br />

municipalities have experienced<br />

in <strong>the</strong> last few years.<br />

We’ve instituted many<br />

changes over <strong>the</strong> last few<br />

years that have saved millions<br />

<strong>of</strong> dollars and as a<br />

result helped us eliminate<br />

our general fund debt. The<br />

citizens <strong>of</strong> <strong>Perrysburg</strong> are<br />

<strong>the</strong> ultimate decisionmakers<br />

when it comes to services<br />

provided by <strong>the</strong>ir employees<br />

and/or government.<br />

With <strong>the</strong> city’s growth during<br />

a slow economic recovery,<br />

I surmise most people<br />

appreciate <strong>the</strong> standard <strong>of</strong><br />

service our city provides for<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir investment, o<strong>the</strong>rwise<br />

<strong>the</strong>y wouldn’t be moving<br />

and staying here.<br />

We will continue to commit<br />

to our mission:<br />

•To preserve our heritage<br />

while encouraging <strong>the</strong><br />

responsible growth <strong>of</strong> our<br />

community.<br />

•To provide courteous<br />

and pr<strong>of</strong>essional service to<br />

all citizens and visitors.<br />

•To maintain <strong>the</strong> highest<br />

possible quality <strong>of</strong> life for<br />

<strong>the</strong> community.<br />

•To provide and maintain<br />

effective and efficient public<br />

safety and service programs<br />

for <strong>the</strong> entire community.<br />

Hold us to it!<br />

‘It is all about family and <strong>Perrysburg</strong> is family’<br />

<strong>Perrysburg</strong> Schools dedicates new baseball field–<strong>the</strong> Jim Leyland Family Field<br />

Addressing more than<br />

200 guests, family and<br />

friends at <strong>the</strong> dedication ceremony<br />

for <strong>the</strong> Jim Leyland<br />

Family Field, <strong>Perrysburg</strong><br />

native and Detroit Tigers<br />

manager Jim Leyland said<br />

he is not sure <strong>the</strong> baseball<br />

field should be named Jim<br />

Leyland Family Field.<br />

“I think <strong>the</strong> way <strong>Perrysburg</strong><br />

is, it would more<br />

appropriate to call it Family<br />

Field because that is what<br />

<strong>Perrysburg</strong> is about–families,”<br />

he said. “There are so<br />

many friends, so many<br />

coaches, so many buddies <strong>of</strong><br />

mine here and my bro<strong>the</strong>rs<br />

and sisters are all here<br />

tonight–family. It is not<br />

about <strong>the</strong> Leyland family or<br />

<strong>the</strong> Dhondt family or <strong>the</strong><br />

Fishbaugh family–it is about<br />

family. And that is why we<br />

were so eager to participate<br />

in this project and fortunate<br />

enough to be able to give<br />

something back. And hopefully<br />

we can continue to do<br />

so in <strong>the</strong> future.”<br />

The new baseball field,<br />

which replaces <strong>the</strong> current<br />

field at <strong>the</strong> junior high, is<br />

located on <strong>the</strong> <strong>Perrysburg</strong><br />

High School campus on Fort<br />

Meigs Road and features a<br />

state-<strong>of</strong>-<strong>the</strong>-art drainage system.<br />

“That is so important in<br />

northwest Ohio. We have<br />

<strong>the</strong> best drainage system out<br />

<strong>the</strong>re,” said Ray Pohlman,<br />

<strong>Perrysburg</strong> District athletic<br />

director. “We will be playing<br />

games while o<strong>the</strong>r teams<br />

will be cancelling games.<br />

Ano<strong>the</strong>r advantage is <strong>the</strong><br />

irrigation system.”<br />

He also noted that <strong>the</strong><br />

new field has lighted<br />

dugouts, scoreboard, backstops<br />

and sound system.<br />

Superintendent Tom<br />

Hosler told <strong>the</strong> group <strong>the</strong><br />

new facility will usher in a<br />

new era for future generations<br />

<strong>of</strong> students.<br />

“The excellent facilities<br />

will serve as <strong>the</strong> new home<br />

for our teams, where <strong>the</strong>y<br />

can carve out new traditions,<br />

watch teams execute legendary<br />

and championship<br />

seasons, see players make<br />

spectacular plays and unfortunately<br />

watch umpires<br />

make terrible calls,” he said.<br />

“This highly anticipated<br />

facility represents an extraordinary<br />

step forward for<br />

our school and community’s<br />

already outstanding athletic<br />

program. This field will<br />

enable <strong>the</strong> programs to<br />

attract and retain quality<br />

players, host post season<br />

and championship games,<br />

reduce our costs by eliminating<br />

<strong>the</strong> need to shuttle<br />

students from <strong>the</strong> high<br />

school to <strong>the</strong> junior high for<br />

games and practices. And<br />

Mayor Evans, it will hopefully<br />

reduce teenage traffic<br />

speeding down South<br />

Boundary at 3:15 p.m. in <strong>the</strong><br />

spring.”<br />

The superintendent recognized<br />

<strong>the</strong> many contributors<br />

who made donations<br />

towards <strong>the</strong> fields–business<br />

partners; Whiston family;<br />

Burke Badenhop, class <strong>of</strong><br />

2001 and a major league<br />

In a letter to parents, faculty,<br />

staff and community members<br />

last week, <strong>Perrysburg</strong><br />

Schools Superintendent Tom<br />

Hosler addressed <strong>the</strong> tragedy<br />

at Sandy Hook Elementary<br />

School in Newtown, Connecticut.<br />

“It is difficult to find <strong>the</strong><br />

words as I write about <strong>the</strong><br />

tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary<br />

School in Newtown,<br />

Connecticut on Friday. The<br />

incident has left <strong>the</strong> nation<br />

stunned. This heinous crime is<br />

a reminder that we must<br />

remain diligent in protecting<br />

our most valuable and precious<br />

possessions–our children.<br />

I want to reassure parents,<br />

staff and community<br />

members that we take <strong>the</strong> care<br />

and protection <strong>of</strong> our students<br />

very seriously in <strong>Perrysburg</strong>.<br />

“We regularly review our<br />

protocols, make adjustments<br />

to our plans as needed and<br />

practice our response to a<br />

range <strong>of</strong> emergency situations.<br />

We convene a monthly district<br />

wide safety committee, in<br />

which Wood County Sheriff<br />

Mark Wasylyshyn serves as a<br />

The dedication <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Jim Leyland Family Field was held on Wednesday,<br />

December 19, at <strong>Perrysburg</strong> High School.<br />

Pictured above, from left are Superintendent Tom Hosler, Athletic Director Ray<br />

Below, PHS varsity baseball players Austin Lee and Steve Slocum unveiled Mr.<br />

Leyland’s high school jersey that will be displayed at <strong>the</strong> high school.<br />

<strong>Perrysburg</strong> High School Class <strong>of</strong> 2001 graduate and pitcher for <strong>the</strong> Milwaukee<br />

Brewers Burke Badenhop also contributed to <strong>the</strong> funding <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> new fields. The<br />

pitcher, who was unable to attend <strong>the</strong> dedication ceremony, was represented by<br />

his parents Dalynn and Sharon Badenhop. With <strong>the</strong> Badenhops is PHS head base-<br />

boosters; Mr. Leyland, class<br />

<strong>of</strong> 1962, his wife Katie and<br />

his family for <strong>the</strong>ir contribution<br />

and tireless support <strong>of</strong><br />

PHS programs; and <strong>the</strong><br />

entire <strong>Perrysburg</strong> community<br />

for <strong>the</strong>ir continued financial<br />

support <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> schools.<br />

“This all came toge<strong>the</strong>r<br />

under <strong>the</strong> leadership <strong>of</strong> Mr.<br />

Pohlman,” he said. “Thank<br />

you Mr. Pohlman for <strong>the</strong><br />

vision and your tireless<br />

work. Mr. Leyland has<br />

served as a catalyst for this<br />

project, and we are so grateful<br />

for his support and help<br />

in making today possible.<br />

“When Mr. Pohlman<br />

shared with me <strong>the</strong> vision<br />

and his initial conversations<br />

with Mr. Leyland, Ray said<br />

that Jim told him in no<br />

uncertain terms to ‘do it<br />

right.’ Mr. Leyland, I hope<br />

we got it right.”<br />

The superintendent said<br />

when baseball is mentioned<br />

in <strong>Perrysburg</strong> <strong>the</strong>re is only<br />

one name that comes to<br />

mind–Leyland.<br />

“The work ethic, tenacity,<br />

humbleness and devotion<br />

to family are just some <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> qualities that have lead<br />

to his success on and <strong>of</strong>f <strong>the</strong><br />

field,” he continued. “Dedicating<br />

<strong>the</strong> Jim Leyland Family<br />

Field is an honor because<br />

it is <strong>the</strong>se qualities that we<br />

want our players to exhibit<br />

on <strong>the</strong> field and in life. I<br />

remember reading an article<br />

about Mr. Leyland that<br />

relayed a conversation<br />

where he said he could sum<br />

up his philosophy with<br />

‘nobody is bigger than <strong>the</strong><br />

team.’ Mr. Leyland for years<br />

has been <strong>the</strong> patron saint to<br />

<strong>Perrysburg</strong> and <strong>Perrysburg</strong><br />

baseball. Giving when it<br />

was needed and helping<br />

when asked. All <strong>the</strong> while,<br />

never wanting to be recognized<br />

for his many gifts and<br />

contributions. In his personal<br />

life he doesn’t want to be<br />

bigger than <strong>the</strong> team. We are<br />

so happy to be part <strong>of</strong> that<br />

team.”<br />

<strong>Perrysburg</strong> Head Baseball<br />

Coach Dave Hall said in<br />

106 days, his team will take<br />

<strong>the</strong> field and win <strong>the</strong> game.<br />

“When I got <strong>the</strong> job as<br />

head coach back in 1986,<br />

one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> goals was to try<br />

to improve our baseball<br />

facilities. I am a slow learner.<br />

It has taken us a long<br />

time to get here, but it was<br />

always about trying to get<br />

<strong>the</strong> best facility for our<br />

kids,” he told <strong>the</strong> group. “It<br />

is all about <strong>the</strong> kids. Our<br />

program has been built on<br />

doing things right all <strong>the</strong><br />

time, being respectful to<br />

your family and playing <strong>the</strong><br />

game hard and respecting<br />

<strong>the</strong> game. We have a very<br />

good program, we have<br />

great players. I am just so<br />

excited. I will be starting my<br />

28th year and I am like a<br />

rookie again–I can’t wait to<br />

get out <strong>the</strong>re on <strong>the</strong> new<br />

field. Thank you.”<br />

PHS principal Dr.<br />

Michael Short presented Mr.<br />

Leyland with a new photograph<br />

to be hung at <strong>the</strong> high<br />

school.<br />

relationship with <strong>the</strong> City <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>Perrysburg</strong>’s Police Division<br />

and are in constant communication<br />

with its <strong>of</strong>ficers. This<br />

past August, Police Chief<br />

Booster president Dave<br />

Matolyak recognized two<br />

former booster board members<br />

Rick Stoller and Pete<br />

Allesee.<br />

“A few years back, <strong>the</strong>se<br />

two gentlemen inspired <strong>the</strong><br />

board <strong>of</strong> directors to donate<br />

more than $250,000 to prepare<br />

<strong>the</strong> land for <strong>the</strong> baseball<br />

response by <strong>the</strong> district and<br />

police to <strong>the</strong>se types <strong>of</strong> events.<br />

Last month, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Perrysburg</strong><br />

Police Division held a training<br />

session for our bus drivers<br />

regarding how to handle emergency<br />

situations.<br />

“Our administrative team<br />

met this weekend to review<br />

our crisis plan and how we<br />

support teachers and staff in<br />

talking with students who<br />

have questions or want to talk<br />

about <strong>the</strong> incident. I have also<br />

had conversations with <strong>Perrysburg</strong><br />

Police Chief Paez about<br />

<strong>the</strong> Connecticut tragedy.<br />

“Despite our best efforts<br />

and precautions, we cannot<br />

always keep evil at bay. Our<br />

best chance <strong>of</strong> preventing this<br />

type <strong>of</strong> violence is to use our<br />

eyes, ears and voices. When<br />

students and adults hear and<br />

see information or troubling<br />

and s<strong>of</strong>tball fields,” he said.<br />

“If it were not for <strong>the</strong>ir passion,<br />

foresight and time<br />

devoted to this project, we<br />

might not be here today.”<br />

“We have a great staff, we have a great<br />

team–Sandy Hook had that, too. We just have<br />

to be diligent. We need to create a culture<br />

where students, community members and parents<br />

feel comfortable sharing things that <strong>the</strong>y<br />

see and hear because that really is <strong>the</strong> best<br />

defense–something out <strong>the</strong>re just doesn’t feel<br />

As a parent, I want to hear that this will<br />

<strong>Perrysburg</strong> Schools dedicates new baseball field<br />

proclaimed Wednesday,<br />

December 19, as “Jim Leyland<br />

Day,” and presented <strong>the</strong><br />

baseball manager with a<br />

proclamation and commemorative<br />

coin.<br />

Mr. Leyland thanked<br />

everyone for attending <strong>the</strong><br />

dedication.<br />

“I got a lot <strong>of</strong> nice gifts<br />

tonight, but I am still looking<br />

for my diploma,” he said<br />

laughingly. “What a wonderful<br />

day. It means a lot to me<br />

and my family. You know, it<br />

is not <strong>the</strong> size <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> donation,<br />

it is <strong>the</strong> donation. There were<br />

a lot <strong>of</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r people besides<br />

me who reached in <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

pockets and game funds–let’s<br />

not forget about those people.<br />

I want to thank all who participated<br />

in this project and<br />

what a wonderful baseball<br />

field it is. It will be great for<br />

those kids to go out <strong>the</strong>re and<br />

take <strong>the</strong> field under Coach<br />

Hall.<br />

“I live in Pittsburgh now<br />

and I have been <strong>the</strong>re a long<br />

time. But once you are a <strong>Perrysburg</strong>er,<br />

you are always a<br />

about family.<br />

School district addresses community<br />

➧Continued from page 1<br />

At <strong>the</strong> December 17 meeting<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Perrysburg</strong> Board<br />

<strong>of</strong> Education, Mr. Hosler also<br />

responded to concerns raised<br />

by two elementary parents.<br />

Over <strong>the</strong> weekend, <strong>the</strong><br />

superintendent met with<br />

administrators and principals<br />

to discuss <strong>the</strong> situation on<br />

two fronts–communicating<br />

with <strong>the</strong> students and safety.<br />

Mr. Hosler also stated that he<br />

had several conversations<br />

with <strong>the</strong> chief <strong>of</strong> police during<br />

<strong>the</strong> weekend.<br />

“As a school district, we<br />

take many precautions to<br />

make sure our students are<br />

safe,” he said. “We have a<br />

protocol in terms <strong>of</strong> buzzing<br />

into buildings and video cameras<br />

in different locations.”<br />

The administrators also<br />

discussed o<strong>the</strong>r types <strong>of</strong> contingencies.<br />

“We talked about an<br />

intruder on a bus or o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

locations,” said Mr. Hosler.<br />

“Last month <strong>the</strong> bus drivers<br />

had training on how to<br />

respond and handle that type<br />

<strong>of</strong> situation. We do lockdown<br />

drills during <strong>the</strong> course<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> year.<br />

“But when you have an<br />

event like Sandy Hook where<br />

<strong>the</strong> intruder puts on fatigues,<br />

wears body armor, has an<br />

assault rifle and semi-automatic<br />

handguns, and is intent<br />

on getting into <strong>the</strong><br />

building–forced his way into<br />

<strong>the</strong> building–to do harm, all<br />

<strong>the</strong> planning and effort to prevent<br />

those kinds <strong>of</strong> things, we<br />

know that <strong>the</strong>re are those<br />

kind <strong>of</strong> circumstances that<br />

you can’t foresee.<br />

“We hire excellent teachers.<br />

We give <strong>the</strong>m <strong>the</strong> tools to<br />

be able to respond to those<br />

things to <strong>the</strong> best <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir ability.<br />

And <strong>the</strong>y are great problem-solvers.<br />

And as we listened<br />

to <strong>the</strong> situation unfold<br />

<strong>the</strong>re were teachers hiding<br />

kids in bathrooms, cupboards<br />

and closets, I doubt that was<br />

part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir practice, <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

plans. But yet, we want staff<br />

to know that by any means<br />

necessary, we need to protect<br />

our students and I believe our<br />

staff would be willing to do<br />

that.”<br />

The superintendent added<br />

<strong>the</strong> district is working with<br />

<strong>the</strong> police division on<br />

changes or additions to<br />

school safety–<strong>the</strong>re are many<br />

contingencies <strong>the</strong> district<br />

needs to look at, he stated.<br />

“I am a parent and when<br />

you watched <strong>the</strong> television on<br />

Friday, <strong>the</strong> first initial reaction<br />

is anger and grief. You<br />

know in <strong>the</strong> holiest <strong>of</strong> seasons<br />

where we are celebrating<br />

life and all good things,<br />

how devastating this is,” <strong>the</strong><br />

superintendent told those<br />

attending <strong>the</strong> board meeting.<br />

“And <strong>the</strong>n as a school superintendent,<br />

you look at this<br />

and say we have obligations<br />

to protect 4.800 students and<br />

we have to do our best in<br />

every way. We wake up every<br />

morning thinking about that.<br />

“We have a great staff, we<br />

have a great team–Sandy<br />

Hook had that, too. We just<br />

have to be diligent. We need<br />

to create a culture where students,<br />

community members<br />

and parents feel comfortable<br />

sharing things that <strong>the</strong>y see<br />

and hear because that really is<br />

<strong>the</strong> best defense–something<br />

out <strong>the</strong>re just doesn’t feel<br />

right.<br />

“As a parent, I want to<br />

hear that this will never happen<br />

here, and I can’t say that.<br />

But I can say as a superintendent,<br />

we are going to do<br />

everything in our power to<br />

ensure we care for our students.”<br />

<strong>the</strong> worst tragedies in our lifetime<br />

recently at a school in<br />

Connecticut. And I think that<br />

is one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> things we have<br />

to make sure that we get back<br />

to–this country is built and<br />

based on family, family traditions<br />

and family background.<br />

I don’t think we can<br />

lose sight <strong>of</strong> that because<br />

<strong>the</strong>re are so many people out<br />

<strong>the</strong>re that don’t like us–we<br />

can never forget that.<br />

“Thank you for coming<br />

from <strong>the</strong> bottom <strong>of</strong> my heart.<br />

I’m sorry about <strong>the</strong> World<br />

Series, I really am. Hopefully,<br />

we will be back next year.”<br />

More than 200 invited guests attended <strong>the</strong> dedication including from left, “Doc”<br />

Thomas, Rick Steinline, Larry Croy and John Welch.<br />

ODOT gives tips for winter driving<br />

As Ohioans get ready to<br />

drive in <strong>the</strong> first possible<br />

winter storm this season, <strong>the</strong><br />

Ohio Department <strong>of</strong> Transportation<br />

(ODOT) warns motorists:<br />

“In Ice and Snow,<br />

Take It Slow,” especially on<br />

interstates and state-maintained<br />

highways where<br />

speeds are faster and traffic<br />

volumes are higher.<br />

Research shows by <strong>the</strong><br />

time <strong>the</strong> first winter storm<br />

hits, most motorists have forgotten<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir safe winter driving<br />

skills.<br />

“Because <strong>of</strong> last year’s<br />

mild winter, many <strong>of</strong> Ohio’s<br />

motorists haven’t driven in<br />

significant ice and snow in<br />

about 20 months,” said<br />

ODOT Director Jerry Wray.<br />

ODOT will make history<br />

this winter by being <strong>the</strong> first<br />

state in <strong>the</strong> nation to use<br />

green-colored strobe lights<br />

on its snowplow trucks.<br />

Studies show green lights are<br />

more easily detected by <strong>the</strong><br />

human eye than o<strong>the</strong>r colors.<br />

The new green lights, along<br />

with new white lights, will<br />

be added to <strong>the</strong> existing<br />

amber lights creating a color<br />

combination unique to<br />

ODOT.<br />

Drivers also can stay safe<br />

–whe<strong>the</strong>r it’s <strong>the</strong> first storm<br />

or last–by following <strong>the</strong>se<br />

tips:<br />

•Plan Ahead: Before leaving<br />

home, find out about<br />

driving conditions by going<br />

to ODOT’s premier website<br />

www.BuckeyeTraffic.org.<br />

Safe drivers know <strong>the</strong><br />

wea<strong>the</strong>r, and <strong>the</strong>ir limits.<br />

Also, follow ODOT on Facebook<br />

and Twitter.<br />

•See and be Seen: Remove<br />

any snow on your vehicle’s<br />

windows, lights,<br />

brake lights and signals.<br />

•Check <strong>the</strong> Clock: Leave<br />

plenty <strong>of</strong> time to reach your<br />

destination safely. It’s not<br />

worth putting yourself and<br />

o<strong>the</strong>rs in a dangerous situation<br />

just to be on time.<br />

•Turn on your Lights: If<br />

you need to turn on your<br />

wipers, turn on your headlights.<br />

It’s <strong>the</strong> law.<br />

During last year’s winter<br />

season, <strong>the</strong>re were 16,167<br />

winter-related crashes on<br />

Ohio’s roadways. Ice and<br />

snow related fatalities on<br />

ODOT-maintained roads decreased<br />

by nearly 20 percent–<br />

from 21 to 17.<br />

The <strong>Perrysburg</strong> High<br />

School boys basketball<br />

team warded <strong>of</strong>f a pesky<br />

Maumee team Thursday<br />

night to lift <strong>the</strong>ir overall<br />

record to 4-1 and <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

league record to 2-0.<br />

<strong>Perrysburg</strong> traveled to<br />

Maumee to take on <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

league rival in a gym filled<br />

with two rowdy student<br />

sections looking for a hard<br />

fought game.<br />

The first quarter started<br />

out with Maumee jumping<br />

to a 6-2 lead thanks to<br />

Maumee big man Sam<br />

Kamer who had two <strong>of</strong>fensive<br />

rebounds that resulted<br />

in two inside jumpers to<br />

give <strong>the</strong> Pan<strong>the</strong>rs <strong>the</strong> lead.<br />

Matt Kaczinski narrowed<br />

<strong>the</strong> Maumee lead,<br />

receiving an inbound pass<br />

from Nick Moschetti on <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong>fensive end <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> court<br />

and hitting a three pointer<br />

with <strong>the</strong> Maumee student<br />

section at his back.<br />

The Jackets and <strong>the</strong> Pan<strong>the</strong>rs<br />

had six lead changes<br />

in <strong>the</strong> first quarter and with<br />

24 seconds remaining, <strong>Perrysburg</strong><br />

had <strong>the</strong> ball, a 13-<br />

12 lead, and was holding<br />

for <strong>the</strong> final shot. Bryant<br />

Byrd took <strong>the</strong> ball at <strong>the</strong><br />

top <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> arc and drove to<br />

<strong>the</strong> right side <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> lane,<br />

splitting Maumee’s 3-2<br />

zone. He <strong>the</strong>n turned and<br />

kicked it out to Shane<br />

Edwards, who knocked<br />

down a three from <strong>the</strong> top<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> three point line as<br />

<strong>the</strong> buzzer sounded to give<br />

<strong>Perrysburg</strong> a 16-13 lead.<br />

The first three minutes<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> second quarter<br />

Yellow Jackets hold <strong>of</strong>f Maumee<br />

involved lots <strong>of</strong> defense<br />

and scrappy hustle plays<br />

from both teams but nei<strong>the</strong>r<br />

side could produce a basket.<br />

Sean McGovern, <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Pan<strong>the</strong>rs, ended <strong>the</strong> scoring<br />

drought by knocking down<br />

a tough jumper in <strong>the</strong> lane.<br />

However, this would be<br />

one <strong>of</strong> only two made field<br />

goals for Maumee in <strong>the</strong><br />

second quarter.<br />

With four minutes till<br />

<strong>the</strong> half, Moschetti received<br />

a pass from Byrd on <strong>the</strong> left<br />

wing and knocked down a<br />

three pointer to finally get<br />

<strong>the</strong> Jackets moving <strong>of</strong>fensively.<br />

On <strong>the</strong> following<br />

possession, Byrd drove to<br />

<strong>the</strong> basket and again dished<br />

to Moschetti who knocked<br />

down a three in <strong>the</strong> same<br />

spot to give <strong>Perrysburg</strong> a<br />

22-14 lead with two minutes<br />

remaining in <strong>the</strong> quarter.<br />

Moschetti led <strong>the</strong> team<br />

with 12 points in <strong>the</strong> first<br />

half, and <strong>Perrysburg</strong> had a<br />

28-16 lead.<br />

In <strong>the</strong> third quarter, <strong>the</strong><br />

Jackets were outscored 15-<br />

an 11-0 run led by<br />

Maumee’s Jason Wanamaker<br />

who had seven <strong>of</strong> those<br />

11 points.<br />

The beginning <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

fourth quarter started with a<br />

Kamer basket underneath<br />

to bring Maumee within<br />

four <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Jackets, 37-33.<br />

<strong>Perrysburg</strong> brought <strong>the</strong><br />

ball up court looking for<br />

any form <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fense to slow<br />

down <strong>the</strong> Pan<strong>the</strong>r attack,<br />

and <strong>the</strong>y found it in <strong>the</strong> hot<br />

After watching<br />

Lady Jackets defeat<br />

Blue Devils 59-35<br />

By Andy Brungard<br />

<strong>Perrysburg</strong> moved to 8-0<br />

overall and 6-0 in <strong>the</strong><br />

Nor<strong>the</strong>rn Lakes League<br />

Tuesday night by defeating<br />

<strong>the</strong> Springfield Blue Devils.<br />

Sara Baer led <strong>the</strong> Jackets<br />

with 17 points, followed by<br />

Alex Brown who had 11.<br />

<strong>Perrysburg</strong> won with a<br />

score <strong>of</strong> 59-35, thanks in<br />

large part to a 26-point second<br />

quarter.<br />

The game started with<br />

<strong>the</strong> Jackets bringing <strong>the</strong> ball<br />

up court on <strong>the</strong> first possession<br />

and Abby Sattler<br />

draining a three pointer<br />

from <strong>the</strong> wing. Her basket<br />

was followed by one <strong>of</strong><br />

many Maddy Williams<br />

steals, who dished to Baer<br />

under <strong>the</strong> hoop. Baer<br />

scored was fouled and converted<br />

<strong>the</strong> free throw making<br />

<strong>the</strong> score 6-0.<br />

Springfield responded<br />

with two long distance<br />

shots and quickly tied <strong>the</strong><br />

game up at six by converting<br />

two three pointers.<br />

Both teams continued to<br />

be successful on <strong>of</strong>fense<br />

and at <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> first<br />

quarter, <strong>the</strong> score was 13-9<br />

<strong>Perrysburg</strong>.<br />

To start <strong>the</strong> second quarter,<br />

Baer scored <strong>of</strong>f <strong>of</strong> a<br />

post move near <strong>the</strong> basket,<br />

and <strong>the</strong>n scored again after<br />

Katie Dunphy stole <strong>the</strong> ball<br />

and pushed it up court<br />

which resulted in a Baer lay<br />

up. Then on <strong>the</strong> ensuing<br />

possession Dunphy<br />

received a pass on <strong>the</strong> wing<br />

and swished a three to put<br />

<strong>the</strong> Jackets up 20-9 only<br />

one minute into <strong>the</strong> second<br />

quarter.<br />

Springfield continued to<br />

fire away from behind <strong>the</strong><br />

arc converting two three<br />

pointers to end a 7-0 run by<br />

<strong>Perrysburg</strong> and pulling<br />

within five, only down 20-<br />

15 with four minutes till<br />

half. That’s when <strong>Perrysburg</strong><br />

responded. Alex<br />

Brown came <strong>of</strong>f <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

bench and started battling<br />

for loose balls, grabbing<br />

rebounds and added two<br />

inside jump shots <strong>of</strong>f <strong>of</strong>fensive<br />

rebounds to spark<br />

ano<strong>the</strong>r <strong>Perrysburg</strong> scoring<br />

run.<br />

With one minute until<br />

half <strong>Perrysburg</strong> led 35-15.<br />

Molly Whitacare stole <strong>the</strong><br />

ball at <strong>the</strong> defensive end<br />

and took it all <strong>the</strong> way<br />

down <strong>the</strong> court and scored.<br />

Springfield tried to advance<br />

<strong>the</strong> ball up court but <strong>Perrysburg</strong>’s<br />

defense held. They<br />

slowly moved <strong>the</strong> ball on<br />

<strong>of</strong>fense waiting to take <strong>the</strong><br />

last shot. It paid <strong>of</strong>f when<br />

Williams received a pass on<br />

<strong>the</strong> baseline and hit a jump<br />

shot as <strong>the</strong> buzzer sounded.<br />

The Lady Jackets now led<br />

39-16 at <strong>the</strong> half.<br />

In <strong>the</strong> third quarter it<br />

was <strong>Perrysburg</strong>’s defense<br />

that shined, allowing one<br />

free throw as <strong>the</strong> Blue Devils<br />

only point. Through <strong>the</strong><br />

third and fourth quarter<br />

Springfield played catch<br />

up, throwing up several<br />

threes but converting very<br />

few <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m.<br />

<strong>Perrysburg</strong> now moves<br />

Suggestions for making a household emergency supply kit<br />

The Federal Emergency<br />

Management Agency encourages<br />

all households to<br />

put toge<strong>the</strong>r a basic disaster<br />

supplies kit in case <strong>of</strong> an<br />

emergency.<br />

Details are online on <strong>the</strong><br />

Ready.gov website, http://<br />

www.ready. gov/basic-disas<br />

ter-supplies-kit.<br />

A basic kit should include:<br />

•Water, one gallon <strong>of</strong><br />

water per person per day for<br />

at least three days.<br />

•Food, at least a threeday<br />

supply <strong>of</strong> non-perishable<br />

food.<br />

•Battery-powered or<br />

hand crank radio and a<br />

NOAA wea<strong>the</strong>r radio with<br />

tone alert and extra batteries<br />

for both.<br />

•Flashlight and extra batteries.<br />

•First aid kit.<br />

•Whistle to signal for<br />

help.<br />

•Dust mask to help filter<br />

contaminated air and plastic<br />

sheeting and duct tape to<br />

shelter-in-place.<br />

•Moist towelettes,<br />

garbage bags and plastic ties<br />

for personal sanitation.<br />

•Wrench or pliers to turn<br />

<strong>of</strong>f utilities.<br />

•Manual can opener for<br />

food.<br />

•Local maps.<br />

•Cell phone with chargers,<br />

include a set <strong>of</strong> warm clothing<br />

with a coat and shoes for<br />

each person, additional<br />

sleeping bags or warm blankets,<br />

and extra personal hygiene<br />

items.<br />

“Conditions such as extreme<br />

cold temperatures,<br />

above-normal snowfall, ice<br />

storms, or blizzard conditions<br />

caused by wind can<br />

significantly reduce your<br />

ability to function through<br />

daily activities,” said Kent<br />

McGuire, health and safety<br />

coordinator for Ohio State<br />

University’s College <strong>of</strong><br />

Food, Agricultural, and Environmental<br />

Sciences and<br />

Ohio State University Extension.<br />

In addition, OSU<br />

Extension <strong>of</strong>fers free fact<br />

sheets on freezer safety<br />

when <strong>the</strong>re’s a power outage<br />

(http://ohioline.osu.edu/hom<br />

eating nutritiously when<br />

<strong>the</strong>re’s no power (http:// ohioline.osu.edu/hyg<br />

Select libraries to restore hours<br />

Keeping its promise to<br />

Lucas County voters, <strong>the</strong><br />

Toledo-Lucas County Public<br />

Library Board <strong>of</strong> Trustees recently<br />

agreed to restore Sunday<br />

hours at four library<br />

locations, beginning <strong>January</strong><br />

6.<br />

Sanger Branch Library,<br />

which has been <strong>the</strong> only location<br />

open on Sunday for <strong>the</strong><br />

past three years, will continue<br />

with Sunday hours.<br />

All five locations, which<br />

are Main Library, Hea<strong>the</strong>rdowns,<br />

Oregon, Sanger and<br />

Sylvania, will be open on Sundays,<br />

beginning <strong>January</strong> 6,<br />

from 1 to 5 p.m.<br />

The restoration <strong>of</strong> Sunday<br />

hours is a direct result <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

passage <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 5-year, 2.9 mill<br />

library operating levy on <strong>the</strong><br />

November ballot.<br />

“We made promises during<br />

<strong>the</strong> levy and now it’s time<br />

to keep those promises,” said<br />

Library Director Clyde Scoles.<br />

The library’s administrative<br />

team and <strong>the</strong> board <strong>of</strong><br />

trustees also are working to restore<br />

many weekly and Saturday<br />

hours.<br />

“We will not recover all<br />

lost hours but will <strong>of</strong>fer more<br />

access to <strong>the</strong> highest levels <strong>of</strong><br />

library services,” Mr. Scoles<br />

said, explaining that all new<br />

hours will be in place by<br />

March 1.<br />

Nearly 400 Toledo Christian<br />

School supporters and<br />

fans <strong>of</strong> NFL football ga<strong>the</strong>red<br />

at Toledo’s SeaGate Centre<br />

on December 5 for <strong>the</strong><br />

school’s annual fund-raiser<br />

banquet, which featured Terry<br />

Bradshaw.<br />

A commentator for FOX<br />

NFL Sports and four-time<br />

Super Bowl champion quarterback,<br />

Mr. Bradshaw’s appearance<br />

at <strong>the</strong> banquet was<br />

made possible through a<br />

speakers bureau, said Kathy<br />

Woodward, TCS board president<br />

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

She said Mr. Bradshaw<br />

had <strong>the</strong> choice <strong>of</strong> whe<strong>the</strong>r to<br />

accept <strong>the</strong> school’s invitation<br />

and was thrilled that he chose<br />

to visit Toledo.<br />

“We were delighted. He<br />

was so gracious, and he was<br />

<strong>the</strong> real deal,” she added.<br />

Chrys Peterson <strong>of</strong> WTOL,<br />

event emcee, introduced <strong>the</strong><br />

former Pittsburgh Steeler.<br />

“Terry Bradshaw is truly a<br />

modern day renaissance man.<br />

When God was handing out<br />

talent, he just kept getting in<br />

line,” she said.<br />

She noted that he is a perfect<br />

4-0 in <strong>the</strong> big game, winning<br />

Super Bowl’s IX, X,<br />

XIII and XIV. A two-time<br />

Super Bowl MVP, he also is a<br />

Pro Football Hall <strong>of</strong> Fame inductee.<br />

But his talents extended<br />

well beyond <strong>the</strong> 100-yard<br />

field <strong>of</strong> play.<br />

After retiring from football<br />

Mr. Bradshaw, already a<br />

talented singer went on to<br />

record four albums and author<br />

five books. He appeared<br />

in several movies and is <strong>the</strong><br />

only NFL football player to<br />

have a star on <strong>the</strong> Hollywood<br />

Walk <strong>of</strong> Fame, Ms. Peterson<br />

said.<br />

Since 1990, Mr. Bradshaw<br />

has been a sports commentator,<br />

first on “The NFL Today”<br />

and later on “Fox NFL Sunday.”<br />

“He is truly bigger than<br />

life and a completely impressive<br />

individual,” she said, but<br />

she believes his greatest attribute<br />

is his “big heart” and<br />

his desire to reach out and<br />

help o<strong>the</strong>rs. “He is an instrument<br />

in God’s hands.”<br />

Fans, many wearing <strong>the</strong><br />

former quarterback’s #12 jersey,<br />

broke into applause when<br />

Mr. Bradshaw took <strong>the</strong> stage.<br />

“All things are possible<br />

with our Lord and Savior,” he<br />

began. “There’s nothing like<br />

being knocked down, as long<br />

as you look up.”<br />

He believes that with God<br />

<strong>the</strong>re is guidance. Referring<br />

to <strong>the</strong> recent murder/suicide<br />

involving Kansas City linebacker<br />

Jovan Belcher, he<br />

said, “Obviously <strong>the</strong> young<br />

man was lost.”<br />

But being lost does not<br />

have to lead to tragedy.<br />

“Amazing things can happen<br />

when we’re lost, if we walk in<br />

light as He is in <strong>the</strong> light.”<br />

Mr. Bradshaw continued,<br />

“I’m 64 and happy to be<br />

alive. It’s amazing <strong>the</strong> wonderful<br />

things God has in store<br />

for us.”<br />

He believes today’s society<br />

is filled with too much<br />

turmoil, misery and chaos.<br />

“No one cares that <strong>the</strong>re is an<br />

answer.”<br />

Mr. Bradshaw pointed out<br />

that history provides a clue to<br />

<strong>the</strong> future. “If you study empires,<br />

most <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir collapses<br />

came with <strong>the</strong> decay <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

values,” and he worries about<br />

<strong>the</strong> lack <strong>of</strong> belief in God. “It’s<br />

amazing how we can see<br />

beauty and think it just came<br />

from an asteroid. We should<br />

be thankful to be alive.”<br />

The former quarterback<br />

enjoys his current career,<br />

working alongside Jimmy<br />

Johnson, Howie Long,<br />

Michael Strahan and Curt<br />

Menefee.<br />

“They’re all gorgeous<br />

people. Howie gets letters<br />

from women, I get nothing.<br />

I’m <strong>the</strong> only single guy, and I<br />

get nothing, he quipped,<br />

adding, “It’s a wonderful<br />

thing.”<br />

He doesn’t let life get him<br />

down. “I wake up say amen<br />

and put a smile on my face.”<br />

Mr. Bradshaw stresses <strong>the</strong><br />

importance <strong>of</strong> learning how<br />

to get along with people, although<br />

he admits his own<br />

shortcomings.<br />

“You’re always going<br />

have to deal with people.<br />

How many <strong>of</strong> you men got<br />

down on one knee to propose”<br />

he asked. “Don’t be<br />

shy. I did it three times,” he<br />

recalled <strong>of</strong> his three marriages.<br />

Although some aspects <strong>of</strong><br />

his personal life didn’t work<br />

out as he planned, <strong>the</strong> football<br />

star has found joy in his relationship<br />

with God. “Happiness<br />

changes from moment to<br />

moment and is based on<br />

things. Joy can’t be touched.<br />

It’s <strong>the</strong>re forever.”<br />

He recalled growing up in<br />

Louisiana and his earliest<br />

memories <strong>of</strong> living on a 40-<br />

acre cotton and watermelon<br />

farm. “I’m a sou<strong>the</strong>rn Baptist<br />

who grew up following behind<br />

my grandfa<strong>the</strong>r on <strong>the</strong><br />

plow. I remember getting<br />

electricity and our first light<br />

bulb.<br />

He also remembers being<br />

raised “with a solid foundation<br />

for <strong>the</strong> love <strong>of</strong> Jesus.”<br />

His mo<strong>the</strong>r’s side <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

family were talented singers<br />

and gospel music was <strong>of</strong>ten<br />

sung.<br />

As he got older, Mr. Bradshaw<br />

discovered he had a<br />

passion for football. “I don’t<br />

know why God called me, but<br />

it’s amazing <strong>the</strong> transformation<br />

when you trust Christ as<br />

your Savior,” he said.<br />

But although he had a passion<br />

for football, he lacked<br />

<strong>the</strong> same passion scholastically.<br />

“I flunked <strong>the</strong> ACT test<br />

so I went to a small school,<br />

Louisiana Tech.”<br />

It was <strong>the</strong>re that his skill<br />

with <strong>the</strong> pigskin caught <strong>the</strong><br />

eye <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> NFL, and Mr.<br />

Bradshaw was drafted to play<br />

for Pittsburgh.<br />

Reporters, eager to learn<br />

more about <strong>the</strong> new prospect,<br />

began looking into his background.<br />

After seeing his<br />

grades and <strong>the</strong> fact that he<br />

had lost four jobs, <strong>the</strong>y<br />

reached a conclusion. “I must<br />

be stupid,” he said, acknowledging<br />

that years later he was<br />

diagnosed with attention<br />

The Toledo Museum <strong>of</strong><br />

Art will hold its annual Great<br />

Art Escape between Christmas<br />

and New Year’s Day,<br />

December 26 through 30.<br />

New this year is Swing<br />

Time on <strong>the</strong> Peristyle Stage.<br />

The program on December<br />

27, at 11 a.m., features <strong>the</strong><br />

film “Swing Time” with Fred<br />

Astaire and Ginger Rogers,<br />

whose photograph can be<br />

seen in <strong>the</strong> exhibition Made<br />

in Hollywood: Photographs<br />

from <strong>the</strong> John Kobal Foundation.<br />

After <strong>the</strong> screening, from<br />

2 to 3 p.m., participants can<br />

see a live demonstration and<br />

take part in instruction by<br />

award-winning swing dancer<br />

Paulette Brockington. There<br />

will be a sign-up sheet at <strong>the</strong><br />

Libbey Court Information<br />

Desk <strong>the</strong> day <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> program.<br />

Each day <strong>of</strong> The Great Art<br />

Escape <strong>of</strong>fers different programming<br />

related to <strong>the</strong> Museum’s<br />

collection <strong>of</strong> art.<br />

There will be storytelling,<br />

performances in <strong>the</strong> Great<br />

Gallery and Peristyle as well<br />

as mini concerts and drawing<br />

in <strong>the</strong> galleries.<br />

Admission to <strong>the</strong> Museum<br />

and all <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> activities is free.<br />

Parking is free for Museum<br />

members and $5 for nonmembers.<br />

In addition to <strong>the</strong> events<br />

deficit disorder and depression.<br />

Mr. Bradshaw didn’t think<br />

<strong>of</strong> football as a difficult game.<br />

“I played simple. If a man<br />

was open, I threw it to him<br />

and if <strong>the</strong>re was a man in<br />

front <strong>of</strong> him, <strong>the</strong>n I threw it a<br />

littler higher. I called my own<br />

plays.”<br />

All that mattered to <strong>the</strong><br />

young quarterback were <strong>the</strong><br />

numbers on <strong>the</strong> field. “I knew<br />

<strong>the</strong> smaller <strong>the</strong> numbers were<br />

getting, <strong>the</strong> better we were<br />

doing <strong>of</strong>fensively,” he<br />

quipped.<br />

And what happened when<br />

none <strong>of</strong> his plays seemed to<br />

be working Mr. Bradshaw<br />

simply turned to his teammates<br />

in <strong>the</strong> huddle and<br />

asked, “You guys got any<br />

ideas”<br />

Looking back, Mr. Bradshaw<br />

noted that football certainly<br />

has changed over <strong>the</strong><br />

years. “The most I made was<br />

$300,000 in a year. Peyton<br />

Manning is getting $38 million<br />

over two years and Ben<br />

Roethlisberger is making $16<br />

million. “They’ll never come<br />

talk to you,” he joked.<br />

Football, although fun, is<br />

not life, he continued. “Life is<br />

not a program, dictated<br />

through an ear piece. We are<br />

measured by <strong>the</strong> choices we<br />

make. God gave us a brain,<br />

and he gave us a book. I<br />

chose that book.”<br />

But even with <strong>the</strong> book, he<br />

admits that his decisions have<br />

not always been <strong>the</strong> best.<br />

“I’ve failed many times in<br />

life. I failed at marriage, but I<br />

have two gorgeous children,<br />

Rachel and Erin.”<br />

He is proud <strong>of</strong> his daughters<br />

and <strong>the</strong> choices <strong>the</strong>y are<br />

making.<br />

As for Mr. Bradshaw, he<br />

continues to work hard at<br />

being a better person. He told<br />

occurring, visitors can enjoy<br />

<strong>the</strong> Manet: Portraying Life<br />

and Made in Hollywood exhibitions.<br />

Tickets per exhibition<br />

for nonmembers are $8<br />

for adults, $5 for seniors and<br />

students or a $12 combination<br />

ticket also is available.<br />

Admission is free for members.<br />

Also part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> week’s activities,<br />

featured glass artist<br />

Danny White will be at <strong>the</strong><br />

Glass Pavilion for demonstrations<br />

along with a presentation<br />

about his work and how<br />

he strives to bridge <strong>the</strong> gap<br />

between painting and glass.<br />

Storytelling sessions will<br />

highlight books that relate to<br />

works <strong>of</strong> art in <strong>the</strong> Museum’s<br />

collection. Examples include<br />

“Iggy Peck Architect” by Andrea<br />

Beaty, which will be<br />

read near “The Architect’s<br />

Dream” in Gallery 29B and<br />

“Art & Max” by David Weisner,<br />

which will be read in <strong>the</strong><br />

Cloister.<br />

Detailed information<br />

about all activities and current<br />

special exhibitions is<br />

available online at www.<br />

The Main Museum will be<br />

open on New Year’s Eve and<br />

New Year’s Day, from noon<br />

to 8 p.m. The Glass Pavilion<br />

will be closed.<br />

Following is a sample <strong>of</strong><br />

Toledo Christian students that<br />

“times are never that good,<br />

but never that bad,” and reminded<br />

<strong>the</strong>m that, “success<br />

comes and goes. Stay firmly<br />

grounded.”<br />

He closed by recalling <strong>the</strong><br />

story <strong>of</strong> Thomas, <strong>the</strong> disciple,<br />

who doubted that Jesus had<br />

risen. “We all have moments<br />

like Thomas. This may be<br />

your second chance. You can<br />

doubt or you can believe and<br />

in that moment <strong>of</strong> belief your<br />

life can change. Thomas got<br />

a second chance and so can<br />

you.<br />

“Very few second chances<br />

come our way. If you have<br />

problems, set aside your selfish<br />

pride. Second chances are<br />

marvelous.”<br />

And, he ended, “before<br />

you close your eyes tonight,<br />

think <strong>of</strong> one good something<br />

that happened today.”<br />
