l Page 4 — March 6, 2013 — PERRYSBURG MESSENGER JOURNAL AM radio station 1370 WSPD has launched the show “Retirement Journey with Jeff Bucher,” hosted by veteran financial advisor Jeff Bucher. The show focuses on the critical issues of health, wealth and freedom crucial to the retirees and preretirees of northwest Ohio. Mr. Bucher, co-founder of Citizen Advisory Group, a Perrysburg-based comprehensive retirement planning firm serving hundreds of clients throughout Ohio, is a well-known advisor, speaker and now a talk show host. Dismayed by the lack of attention given to the true needs of current and upcoming retirees, Mr. Bucher decided to take to the airwaves to help. “As long as I can remember, the people of northwest Ohio have supported me in fulfilling my dreams,” said Mr. Bucher. “Their goodwill and contributions helped me become the student and wrestling standout I was at Ohio State, and I believe it is my duty and my privilege to return good for good. “This is extremely important to me because, not all, but most of the focus of other financial advisors, especially the guys on radio and TV, seems to be in separating good people from their money. “The ‘normal’ rules of financial planning don’t always apply the same to retirees. Old, accumulation-driven strategies must be revisited. Concepts like ‘buy and hold’ have not been serving people so well in recent years. “Further, I have a tremendous interest in serving the nonprofit community. Talk about a setting where the normal rules get turned on their heads. Surprisingly, a donor might do as much financial harm as good simply by not knowing the unique rules that apply. I’ve seen tragic results occur when only good was intended. I have the understanding and experience to change that, so it’s my responsibility to help. “As luck would have it, 1370 WSPD was willing to open the noon hour on Sundays for me to develop a radio show. If you had asked me five years ago, I never Dr. Wayne F. Koskinen Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician The Arbor Building 139 W. Indiana Ave. Suite 102 Perrysburg, OH 419-874-4463 Shop TALK w o u l d ’ v e dreamed I’d be doing this. But now I’m on the air int e r v i ew i n g authors, executive direct o r s , thought-leaders from all over North A m e r i c a every Sunday at noon. “So far A FOUNDATION OF I’ve interviewed fivetime Mr. Jeff Bucher A r k a n s a s , Todd Scarborough, on how people over 50 can get and stay fit; Christopher ‘Coach Chris’ Klesh, a travel coach who told us how to live a life of privilege all around the world at 10 cents on the dollar, and the 2011 Senior Market Advisor Magazine ‘Advisor of the Year,’ Jim Brogan. “Coming up soon, we have Helaine Olen, who has written for the New York Times, Washington Post, and many other publications. She’ll be talking about her book ‘Pound Foolish.’ My producer tells me we have authors and experts lined up for weeks in advance. I think people are hungry for this kind of information. “I’m passionate about bringing the kind of information pre-retirees and retirees need. I’m a financial guy, so sure, I’ll have plenty to talk about in that area. But I’ll be bringing experts in the area of health too, because if you lose your health, you’re sure to lose your wealth. And if you lose both your health and wealth, there’s no way you can live life on your own terms. And isn’t that what everyone wants” “Retirement Journey with Jeff Bucher” airs from noon to 1 p.m. each Sunday on WSPD.

The Salvation Army is asking for non-perishable foods that can be distributed through their food pantry at their downtown offices, as well as monetary donations. Food will be collected at various sites across the Toledo area, but The Salvation Army is looking for more groups or organizations who would like collection boxes at their sites. Any group or organization who would like to have a collection box at their site can call The Salvation Army at 419-241-1138.

It serves approximately 850 individuals each month through its food pantry and Mobile Social Service Unit. The Feinstein Foundation will distribute up to $1 million this year to participants in the food drives throughout the United States. Each year since 1996, the Feinstein Foundation, started by Alan Shawn Feinstein, encourages non-profits and churches across the country to host food drives in an attempt to end hunger in the United States. Each nonprofit and church reports the total of food and monetary donations, then will receive a portion of the million dollars. The more food and monetary donations each group brings in will increase the amount of the donation money from the Feinstein Foundation. Food items can be dropped off at The Salvation Army, 620 North Erie Street, Toledo, Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Downtown Perrysburg, Inc. ‘gives back’ to PHS art club Downtown Perrysburg, Inc.

PERRYSBURG MESSENGER JOURNAL — March 6, 2013 — Page 5 Wine, Cheese and Chocolate event to benefit CFF A local group will host a Wine, Cheese, and Chocolate event on Friday, April 12, from 7 to 10 p.m., at Belmont Country Club. All proceeds from the event will go directly to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to be used to research a cure for the disease. Tickets are $30 each and may be purchased in advance by sending an e-mail to VictoryforViolet@bex.net or by calling 419-873-5773. Cystic fibrosis is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of about 30,000 children and adults in the United States (70,000 worldwide). A defective gene and its protein product cause the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections and obstructs the pancreas and stops natural Abdur Khan named finalist Perrysburg High School senior Abdur Rafey Khan has been named a finalist in the Johnson Scholarship competition at Washington and Lee University. “We are very proud of Abdur,” said Dr. Michael Short, PHS principal. “He is a terrific student and a dedicated learner.” The first stage of the scholarship competition involved the review of applications, which ran from early December through mid-January. The Scholarship Committee narrowed down the applicants to a pool of 200 finalists to invite to the second stage, which is the on-campus competition held March 3-5. Abdur and the other finalists stayed in residence halls with current students, and participated in a full schedule of events, including classes, receptions, open houses, tours and meals both on campus Abdur Rafey Khan and in town. A series of interviews with faculty, current Johnson Scholars and admissions constitutes the actual competition. He also has received a full ride scholarship to Washington and Lee University. ‘Asian Carp in Great Lakes’ topic of talk at Way Library Way Library and the Perrysburg League of Women Voters will welcome Sandy Bihn, clean waterways advocate and Western Lake Erie Waterkeeper on Tuesday, March 19, at 7 p.m. In her capacity as an official waterkeeper of the nonprofit Waterkeeper’s Alliance and also as a long-time resident of the shores of Maumee Bay, Ms. Bihn is an advocate for the protection of area water. In her talk, Ms. Bihn will describe the problems associated with the introduction of Asian Carp into area waterways and the need for a permanent solution. She also will address the role of climate change in the dropping water level of Lake Erie. This program, which is free and open to the public, will be held on the Violet O’Leary enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food. In the 1950s, few children with cystic fibrosis lived to attend elementary school. Today, advances in research and medical treatments have further enhanced and extended life for children and adults with CF. Many people with the disease can now expect to live into their 30s, 40s and beyond. A total of 160 patients with Cystic Fibrosis from this area are cared for by the local Cystic Fibrosis Center at the Toledo Hospital. Perrysburg resident Violet Jane O’Leary is counted in this number. Violet’s family was devastated when they learned of her inherited disease when she was just 10 days old. Simple acts of breathing and eating are a challenge for her each day. At 17 months old, she is now taking more than 20 pills a day in order to digest her food and has a minimum of two, 45-minute breathing treatments each day to keep her lungs clear. Advances continue to be made in finding a cure but funds are needed to keep up the momentum of this lifesaving research.
