School district’s 1.9 mill, five-year permanent improvement levy expires Dec. 31; A day of family fun!
board of education discusses renewal or replacement and length of levy
Plans are underway for Harrison Rally Day–Saturday, September 12
By Deb Buker
Permanent improvement
funds can only be used by
school districts for maintaining buildings, purchasing
busses and educational equipment. It cannot be used for
salaries or day-to-day operations, explained Superintendent Tom Hosler at last week’s
Perrysburg Board of Education work session.
At the end of this year, a
five-year, 1.9-mill levy, which
was passed in 2010, will
expire–which raises approximately $1.5 million annually.
The superintendent told
board members there are three
options regarding the levy–let
it expire, replace it or renew
it.
“If the levy expires, that
would mean the 1.9-mill levy
would expire on January 1,
2016, and the $1.5 million
collected annually for permanent improvements would go
away,” he said. “So any type
of bus purchases, or any type
of roof repairs would come
out of the general budget
which is what we use to fund
programming for students.”
District Treasurer Matt
Feasel explained the difference between a renewal and a
replacement levy.
A renewal levy renews the
current tax, said the treasurer.
“It will continue to generate the same amount of tax
revenue as when it was originally approved by voters. If
the value of the district has
grown, the millage rate is
reduced so that the tax generated stays the same,” he said.
“With a replacement levy, the
millage rate is restored to the
original rate as what it was
when originally approved by
the voters.
“If the value of the district
has grown, the original millage is multiplied against the
newer/higher value and additional revenue is generated
because of the growth in the
total valuation. Whatever revenue that updated millage rate
and current valuation generates
creates
a
new
baseline–collection amount. If
in the following year the valuation increases, the millage
rate would then be reduced so
that it was generating the same
amount of revenue it did in the
first year of collection.”
Since 1980, every five
years, the permanent improvement levy has been approved
by the voters, said the superintendent.
“We have been very fortunate that the community recognizes that this is an investment in our facilities,” he
added. “But I do want to point
out, that if we continue that
trend with the possibility of a
2015 renewal, it would come
up again in November 2020.
And next year, our four-year
operating levy is set to
expire–that has been a fouryear levy cycled with the Presidential election. That too, if
we go with a four-year levy,
will potentially expire in 2020.
We could have two levies
expire in 2020, which is something to consider here.
“Today, we are just introducing this, so there is time to
discuss and plan.”
The superintendent told
board members there are different types of levies available
for schools–operational levies
used for salaries, programming and day-to-day operations; bond issues which
means additions or new facilities, and permanent improvement.
“A couple of things to keep
in mind as we move forward
are the ages of our buildings,”
added Mr. Hosler. “Our
newest building is the high
school which is now over 10
years old and are oldest building is more than 80 years old.
The bulk of our buildings are
in that 40 year and up, in
terms of maintenance. If you
own a home that is 40 years or
older, you can appreciate the
needs that go with that.
“The other thing that is a
big item is our bus fleet.
While we have enough busses,
the ages of the busses are to
the point where they are
requiring a lot of work. We
have 49 percent of our
busses–almost half of our bus
fleet–are 15 years old.”
All district administrators
submitted project requests for
permanent improvement (PI)
funds.
“We received more than
$9.5 million worth of requests
from all the different groups,”
he said. “We then began to
meet and began to look at prioritizing those kinds of things.
“Example–roof replacement is
something that you see here.
We have an assessment that
was done of all our roofs. The
roofs were rated in terms of
conditions and based on the
number of repairs done over
the years. We coupled that
with the assesment information, and we came up with a
replacement schedule. We do
this with parking lots, boilers,
etc. So the first thing we do is
look at those schedules and
plug those in and work our
way down the list. Then we
have to map that on how
much money we get annually
from the PI.
“The last PI called for air
conditioning at Toth and
Frank elementary schools.
Those were big ticket items
and beyond the dollar amount
that we collected in one year,
so we had to break those up
over two years.”
The total amount proposed
for 2016-20 PI levy projects is
$7.7 million.
“This puts us right in the
range of what we would collect over a five-year levy. If
we change it to a four-year, we
will have to go in and adjust
it. This is built on a five-year
levy,” added Mr. Hosler.
He explained that the summary by year is by priority
and cash flow.
“You do see security cameras at every location–something very important to us,”
said Mr. Hosler. “We do have
cameras at some of our buildings right now, but we certainly wanted to expand that.”
The proposal also shows
the purchase of 10 new
busses–two each year.
“Another important issue
is the seating at the junior high
athletic stadium, which was
built in 1967. We have done a
great job maintaining it, but
we know there are some
things we need to do,” continued the superintendent. “We
need to look at a long-term
solution for the seating there.
We want it to be safe for our
spectators. We also want it to
be accessible to all spectators
whether you are somebody
who has trouble getting up the
stands right now or somebody
who is handicapped. We want
them to come to our facilities
and sit in the stands and enjoy
the games.
“It isn’t just about football,
it is about boys and girls soccer, lacrosse, track– it is about
all those kinds of activities
that go on there. This is something we also are proposing
and splitting it over two years.
It is an important area of our
facilities.”
The superintendent added
that $50,000 annually will be
set aside for junior high and
high school band and orchestra instrument replacement.
This needs to be incorporated
into the proposed project summary.
Mr. Hosler also reviewed
the project list from the 201115 PI levy.
“In 2010, when we went
to the voters, we had a list of
projects and posted it on our
website. And here is our report
and what we accomplished,”
he told the board. “We are
very proud of what we do with
the voters in terms of that
accountability. These are the
things we said we were going
to do and five years later, how
did we do?
“Also, the PI does much
more. We have a contingency
set aside each year of the PI
for those things that come up
that are not on list. For example–when we were doing the
PI in 2010, we didn’t know

When it comes to public
education, Ohioans may
want to consider the expression “be careful what you
wish for.”
In response to citizens’
concerns regarding teacher
accountability, the state
developed two programs,
OTES (Ohio Teacher Evaluation System) and RESA
(Resident Educator Summative Assessment).
At the April 8 meeting,
the Penta Career Center
board of education reviewed
the latter, discussing issues
with it.
Mark Smith, RESA coordinator, gave an update on
the program, designed to
support new teachers.
In Ohio, all beginning
teachers including those in
career technical fields are
required to successfully
pass a performance-based
assessment.
As part of the assessment, teachers must demonstrate the ability to “design
and implement instruction
that engages students in
complex thinking and uses
formative and summative
assessments to inform their
teaching practices.”
When teachers begin
their careers, they receive a
four-year resident educator
license that is nonrenewable. To maintain licensure,
they must complete all four
years of the program and
pass a comprehensive
RESA exam to receive a
five-year license, explained
Mr. Smith.
He compared the program to “building a plane
while it is taxiing down the
runway,” adding, “Unfortu-
nately the plane is flying
now, and we’re still dealing
with building issues.”
Mr. Smith said the first
group of teachers recently
completed the full, four
years with four out of five
successfully passing it.
Penta teacher performance
at 85 percent exceeded the
statewide passing rate of 63
percent.
Career Center Director
Jeff Kurtz attributed the
higher than average passage
rate to the extraordinary
support Penta’s teachers
received.
“These five were the
guinea pigs, Mr. Smith
noted. “And they are so
over this program.”
During the first year,
new instructors receive oneon-one mentoring including
classroom management and
curriculum. They also must
deal with requirements of
OTES.
Even with mentoring, the
program can be a challenge
for career technical teachers
who come from industry
and have never taught in a
classroom, he explained.
In year two of the fouryear induction, the instructors no longer receive individual mentoring. “There is
one mentor for all teachers,”
he said, and the focus is on
professional development
planning.
“It’s about how you
teach and present [instruction],” Mr. Smith added.
Years three and four
entail planning and implementation. He described
year three as the “toughest”
because educators are
assigned five online tasks to
complete with no assistance

A Day of Family Fun!
Presented by
Penta Board of Education reviews Resident
Educator program, discusses flaws with system
from Mr. Smith.
“This is a lot of work.
It’s long, frustrating and
fraught with problems.” He
noted issues with video
uploads and the Ohio
Department of Education
“forgetting things.”
“Teachers are so frustrated with how it works,” he
continued. “There were so
many technical issues, and
last year it kept crashing the
system.”
He pointed out that each
time the system crashed,
data was lost.
To add insult to injury,
the test results, computed in
California, take months to
receive. “The results from
May were not released until
December,” he said.
And when the results
came, instructors who failed
the assessments were given
no feedback on the areas in
which they are weak.
Mr. Kurtz said RESA has
made it more challenging to
retain career technical
teachers.
“A couple are on the
cusp this year, and the
paperwork is overwhelming,” he added.
Mr. Smith agreed,
“Every first-year teacher in
Ohio must do this, and ironically, we’re losing teachers
to it.”
“If this is an Ohio program, why in the world is it
administered in California?”
questioned board member
Bob Righi.
Superintendent Ron Matter explained that the
assessment was outsourced,
he believes, through Stanford University.
The superintendent said
another frustration with
RESA is that no system is in
place for teachers who do
not pass.
He believes the first two
years of resident educator
contain “good stuff,” but
would like to see individual
districts administer the last
two years “instead of farming it out. Let us have more
local control.”
Mr. Smith explained that
the Ohio Department of
Education is considering
some changes such as eliminating the OTES requirements in year three; replacing year three with an
OTES assessment; eliminating RESA for career technical teachers; dispensing
with years three and four of
the program, and allowing
districts to create their own
mentoring plans.
But, he added, “I don’t
anticipate them getting
things fixed anytime soon.”

Superintendent Tom Hosler
addressed families and community members in a letter
last week regarding administrative changes, the new
fifth/sixth grade building
and future levies.
“We are honored to have
earned the community’s support for a bond issue this
past fall. Planning is already
under way for a new school
building that will serve
many generations of students. We anticipate that the
new school could be ready
for occupancy as early as

about where they would like
to work.
Administrative Changes
We have been very fortunate to have Dale Wiltse
serve as the principal at Perrysburg Junior High since
2008. He is a tremendous
leader and his love and pas-
sion for students and the
staff who serve them is second to none. He has
announced that he will retire
at the end of this school
year. Our students, staff and
community is better for the
seven years of his service,
and we wish him the very
best in retirement.
I have asked Brent
Swartzmiller to serve as
PJHS principal beginning
with the 2015-2016 school
year. Mr. Swartzmiller has
been principal of Frank Elementary School for seven
years. He also has helped
lead the Olweus Bullying
Prevention Program for the
district. Before joining Perrysburg Schools, Mr.
Swartzmiller was assistant
principal of athletics and
activities at Maumee High
School. He is currently
working towards a doctorate
OAESA’s SAIL program in
partnership with Concordia
University.
The Frank Elementary
principal position will be
posted on Monday.
I have asked Scott Best,
principal at Fort Meigs, to
serve as the principal for the
fifth and sixth grade building when it opens in the fall
of 2017.
Mr. Best will leave the
Fort Meigs principal’s position in the fall of the 20162017 school year and serve
in a dual role as co-principal
of Fort Meigs and also as
fifth and sixth grade building principal as we prepare
to staff, train and transition
to open the new building.
Mr. Best joined Perrysburg Schools in 2007. Prior
to that he was principal at
Willis Intermediate School
(5/6 building) at Delaware
City Schools. While at

a.m. to 11 p.m., April 16 and 19, from noon to 5 p.m., at
One Lake Erie Center, located at 600 Jefferson Avenue.
Artomatic is a non-juried art show for Toledo area residents. It covers a broad spectrum of media, subject
matter and skill levels.
PJHS art teacher Maura Meyers held a school-wide
art contest for work that was a maximum of 8”x10”.
“While I teach 6th-8th grade art, not all students interested in art have time in their schedule to take art electives,” said Ms. Meyers. “Having a contest helped find
students who create original works of art to post in
Artomatic.”
Ms. Meyers also will have a space on the fifth floor,
where she created a 21-foot-long paint-by-number style
mural of houses in the Old West End that people attending the show can help paint.

school concept, which
included work on the curriculum, co-curriculars,
extra-curriculars, master
schedule, staffing, continuous improvement, intra-district transitions and unique
activities particular to this
age group.
In the fall of 2016, Kellie Johnson, Perrysburg
High School assistant principal, will be named coprincipal of Fort Meigs Elementary School and will
assume the day-to-day
operations of that building.
The following year she
will be principal of Fort
Meigs. Prior to serving at
PHS, she taught fourth
grade at Woodland Elementary. Mrs. Johnson is a PHS
graduate and attended Fort
Meigs the year it opened
when she was in fifth grade.
The decision on filling
the PHS assistant principal
position will be made in the
spring of 2016.
All of the recommendations above have been discussed in the board personnel committee and will be
submitted to the board for
approval.
Staffing for the Fifth/
Sixth Grade Building
The district is in a
unique position as it opens
an entirely new building
serving a grade band that

has never existed before.
Unlike moving an entire
grade level, sixth grade to
the Commodore and then to
PJHS, this building will be
pulling staff from five different buildings and we will
create its specific educational philosophy, vision
and pedagogy.
During the 2015-2016
school year, we will develop a process to provide all
interested staff a chance to
explore positions in the new
building. The goal would be
to have a process in place
for staff and the administration to work together to
name the fifth and sixth
grade team by the end of
the 2015-2016 school year.
This will allow an entire
school year for team building, intensive instructional
planning, professional
development and a review
of instructional materials. It
will also give the team a
chance to work with parents
and students one whole
year before the transition.
Committee Work
A core design committee
is overseeing seven committees formed to oversee
different areas of the project–site review, building
programming, interior
design, efficiencies, 5/6
building instructional,
transportation and operations, and 7/8 building
instructional. The committees include a cross-section
of faculty, staff, district
leadership and community
leaders who reached out to
us to become involved after
the passage of the bond.
The first three committees
have already begun meeting
regularly.
The board has made
offers on three properties
and expects to announce the
location in about a month.
It will most likely be within
a mile of PHS.
From this first step, we
will move forward in two
tracks–the construction plan
and the instructional plan.
The construction planning
team will look at recently
built facilities and develop
a recommendation based on
what is best for the site,
energy savings, etc. For the
instructional plan, we will
assemble a team of faculty,
staff and parents to look at
other districts that utilize a
5/6 model and develop a
recommendation based on
those findings. At that
stage, both plans will come
together to form the building design. At that point,
we will break ground.
Auxiliary Gym, PJHS
Renovations and
Elementary Security
For the auxiliary gym,
junior high renovations and
elementary security proj-
ects, planning will be similar but on a smaller scale.
We are anticipating that the
air conditioning will be
installed at PJHS this summer, making all of our
schools fully air-conditioned.
Impact on Future
Levies
At this time, we are
anticipating that we will
renew the permanent
improvement (PI) levy that
expires at the end of 2015
for the same amount—no
new money.
Also at this point, we are
planning to renew the operational levy that expires at
the end of 2016. Based on
district budget projections
and an always-challenging
projection of state funding
for schools in the future, it
is the board’s goal to be
able to open and operate the
new building for at least
two years before needing to
consider exploring new revenue (2019). The vast
majority of staffing costs
for the new building are
already part of the current
budget since we will be
relocating fifth and sixth
graders and supporting
staff.
We will continue to
update you as things continue to move forward. In the
interim, please let me know
if you have any questions.”

Humane Society seeks support
for trap-neuter-release efforts
The Wood County Humane
Society (WCHS) is seeking financial assistance from the
community to help the organization lend support to the Cocoon Shelter.
A non-profit dedicated to
providing safety, healing, and
justice for battered women and
their children, the Cocoon
Shelter recently discovered its
property is home to a large
feral cat colony.
Members of the WCHS
SNIP Committee initially offered its assistance in remedying the problem. Together the
two organizations have been
trying to get as many of the
feral
cats
trapped,
neutered/spayed, and returned.
But WCHS funds are tight,
and the organization is seeking
monetary donations from the
community.
“It’s a ‘help us help them
situation,’ so please donate if
you are able,” said Leyna Jennings, WCHS board member
and chair of the SNIP committee.
For more information or to
make a donation, call 419-3527339.

Dear Editor:
Tis the season every three
months for school systems to
put continuous levies on the
ballot until they can rally their
special interest PAC to add to
your taxes. They “only” need
to win once if only “one” vote
passes their levy.
The current levies are designed to use intimidation and
threats against the student customers and parent stockholders/owners of the schools.
The operating levies are
designed to insure wage increases (80 percent of the
budget) over operating cost of
the school systems. This is a
totally unfair situation where
the wage increases hold actual
day-to-day operating cost including sports, bussing, and
other services hostage to
maintain their cradle to grave
entitlement wages.
There is a very simple solution by having three levies
instead of two levies. One
levy for wages only, a levy for
actual operating cost, and a
levy for permanent improvements. This would allow for

Balancing the budget is
now much easier when a
school district has a shortfall
that could be solved with
across the board cuts on
wages. This would avoid any
inconvenience to the students
or their parents and would
allow all their Union Brothers
and Sisters to maintain their
jobs. All this without having
to layoff the fresh new teachers while protecting the tenure
ridden senior teachers. The
action required is to only
allow money levies to be in

times per year–an insult to
voters and taxpayers. They
need to learn to live within
their budgets just like each

We need our representatives to propose this kind of

and not the entitlement driven

Owens celebrating Community College Month
Owens Community College will celebrate its role in
providing higher education to
the surrounding northwest
Ohio region with a series of
events and activities during
Community College Month,
which is held nationally in
April.
“Owens Community College plays a prominent role in
providing area residents with
innovative learning and training opportunities on which to
build future success,” said
Mike Bower, Ph.D., president of Owens Community
College. “As community colleges across the country celebrate April as Community
College Month, I encourage
those individuals who are or
have attended a community
college to share their story of
success with someone who
may have never considered
higher education as an option. Together, we can positively impact the lives of
others through lifelong learning.”
The celebration will include a variety of weekly
events to help recognize the
important role that community colleges play in educating students and to express
appreciation to faculty, staff,
students and community partners for their hard work and
dedication to Owens and our
communities.
Community
College
Month is celebrated around
the country in April to commemorate the contributions
community colleges make in
educating and training students for the future. Community
colleges
provide
enhanced educational opportunities, create greater access
to higher education and
strengthen economic development initiatives in the communities they support.
There are more than 1,100
community colleges in the
United States, with a combined enrollment of more
than 12 million students. The
average age of a community
college student nationwide is
28. More than 750,000 associate degrees are awarded annually and 46 percent of all
U.S. undergraduates attend a
community college. Owens’
Community College Month
activities are collaboration
between several College departments.

Making Your Vision a Reality
ODNR predicts good fishing in 2015
for Lake Erie anglers
Anglers in pursuit of Lake
Erie’s sport fish should experience another successful year
as they pursue a variety of
fishing opportunities in 2015,
according to Ohio Department of Natural Resources
(ODNR).
“Similar to 2014, we expect fishing to be good again
this year, especially when you
consider the mix of species
and sizes that are seasonally
available to Ohio anglers on
Lake Erie,” said Jeff Tyson,
Lake Erie fisheries program
manager for the ODNR Division of Wildlife. “While fishing success will vary among
species and seasons, the
lake’s population of walleye,
yellow perch, black bass,
white bass and steelhead are
all stable, with a very broad
distribution of sizes for each
species.”
As a result of the 2015
quota allocation, the walleye
daily bag limit is four and the
yellow perch daily bag limit
is 30 per angler in Ohio waters of Lake Erie until April
30. The daily bag limit will be
six walleye from May 1
through February 28, 2016.
From March 1 through April
30, 2016, the daily walleye
bag limit will be four. A 15inch minimum size limit is in
effect during the entire season
for walleye.
The yellow perch daily
bag limit is 30 from May 1
through April 30, 2016, with
no minimum size limit. Lake
Erie anglers can find walleye
and yellow perch bag limit information at ODNR offices,
in special publications at bait
and tackle shops and at
wildohio.gov.
Lake Erie walleye and yellow perch fisheries are managed through an interagency
quota system that involves
Ontario, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio jurisdictions. Each jurisdiction
regulates their catches to
comply with quotas and minimize the risk of over-fishing
these species. Quotas for the
upcoming fishing season are
determined through consensus agreement by these jurisdictions through the Lake
Erie Committee of the Great
Lakes Fishery Commission,
which were just recently announced for 2015.
Walleye
Ohio walleye anglers in
2015 will catch fish mostly
from the 2011, 2010, 2009,
2007 and 2003 hatches, with
some fish from the 2008 and
2012 year classes. Walleye
from the moderate 2010 hatch
will range from 18 to 23
inches, while walleye from
the 2007 hatch will be more
than 20 inches. The 2003 and
2007 hatches are likely to
carry most of the Central
Basin fisheries. These walleye will contribute to the population that has a good
number of fish over the 26inch range. Large walleye
from the strong hatch in 2003
will continue to provide “Fish
Ohio” opportunities (greater
than 28 inches), with this year
class nearing the size that
may give Ohio a new state
record walleye.
Yellow Perch
Expect good perch fishing
in 2015, with the largest fish
in the eastern areas of the
Central Basin. Perch anglers
should encounter fish ranging
from 7 to 13 inches from the
2012 through 2007 hatches in
this year’s fishery, with major
contributions from the 2012,
2010, and 2008 year classes.
Fish from the average-to-better hatch in 2007 will contribute fish in the greater than
10-inch range.
Black Bass
Smallmouth bass fishing
in 2015 is expected to be fair
but improving. Smallmouth
bass catch rates increased in
2014 compared to 2013 and
were the highest observed
since the mid-1990s. Smallmouth bass caught should be
excellent size (14 to 22
inches, weighing up to 6
pounds). The best fishing for
smallmouth bass will continue to occur in areas with
good bottom structure, which
is the available habitat across
much of the entire Ohio
nearshore area and islands
areas. Continuing the trend
from previous years, largemouth bass fishing should be
excellent in 2015. This
emerging fishery is producing
high catch rates and some
large fish in nearshore areas
and harbors across Ohio’s
Lake Erie. All black bass
(smallmouth and largemouth)
must be immediately released
from May 1 through June 26,
2015. Beginning June 27,
2015, the daily bag limit for
bass will be five, with a 14inch minimum length limit.
Steelhead
Steelhead anglers should
enjoy another year of great
fishing in 2015 in Ohio’s
Lake Erie open waters and in
tributaries. Peak summer
steelhead action on Lake Erie
can be found offshore from
June through August between
Vermilion and Conneaut,
with catches measuring 17 to
29 inches. Most Lake Erie anglers troll for steelhead in
deep waters using spoons
with divers or downriggers
until fish move close to shore
in the fall. The daily bag limit
remains at five fish per angler
from May 16 through Aug.
31, 2015, and two fish per angler between Sept. 1, 2015,
and May 15, 2016. A 12-inch
minimum size limit is in effect throughout the year.
White Bass
White bass continue to
provide excellent seasonal
fishing opportunities in the
Maumee and Sandusky rivers
and in the open lake. The
2015 catch will be dominated
by fish from the 2012, 2011
and 2010 year classes. Fish
from 2007 could be as large
as 16 inches. Anglers should
focus on major Western Basin
tributaries during May and
June and nearshore areas of
the open lake during the summer. There is no white bass
daily bag limit or size limit.
Other Species
Bays, harbors and main
lake shorelines offer excellent
fishing for panfish, as well as
occasional northern pike and
muskellunge in vegetated
areas.
Anglers are reminded that
fishing conditions on Lake
Erie can change hourly, and
adjustments are often necessary to improve success. Anglers should take into account
factors such as water temperature, cloud cover, water clarity, boat traffic, wave action,
structure, currents and the
amount of baitfish in the area.
Anglers are also reminded to
carefully monitor Lake Erie
weather and to seek safe harbor before storms approach.

Four Perrysburg residents featured in NDA IB Visual Arts Exhibition
Notre Dame Academy’s
International Baccalaureate
(IB) World School senior art
students and Perrysburg residents Meghan Kozal, Caroline Thornbury, Katherine
Ryder, and Grace Herring recently displayed their art
works in the NDA 2015 IB
Visual Arts Exhibition. All
are part of NDA’s prestigious
International Baccalaureate
(IB) Program.
“The entire group of students has been very committed, we have numerous
students that have pursued
artistic thematic issues of
global, national, and social
importance at a very professional level that in several
cases pushed boundaries,”
said NDA art teacher Susan
Kozal.
Meghan plans to study international relations in college and has focused on
numerous
contemporary
global issues including the
abduction of the Nigerian
girls by Boko Haram, the
Russian Annexation of
Crimea and its parallels to
Germany’s start of World
War II, the Middle East
countries delineation after
World War II separating ethnic, religious, language
groups and how this may be
a contributing factor to the
ongoing unrest in that region.
Meghan’s show was en-
titled “Learn from our
Past…History Always Repeats Itself.” She received an
honorable mention in the Design category for the Cleveland Institute of Art 2d3d
exhibition for her graphic design work entitled III?. She
also had her pieces III? and
An Eye for an Eye, both
computer art works, juried
for the Ohio Governor’s
Youth Art Exhibition in
Columbus.
Caroline is a full IB
diploma candidate who plans
to major in science in college
presented a show called, Elements.
“Science directs the main
focus of my artwork. Central American travel and their
music are also present
throughout my collection,”
said Caroline.
She has covered a broad
range of scientific topics in
her work including creating
a large cloud formation that
illustrates its scientific transition of formation even
lighting up to show the lightning.
Katherine debuted her
collection in her show called,
“Where I’ve Been.” Ms.
Ryder has grown as an artist
through the IB program.
“I have learned to take
charge, put research and
thought into all of the projects that I do. I have tried
various media that I had

Grace presented her show
entitled “First Impressions.”
“I’m influenced by a lot
of artists; the Impressionists
Caroline Thornbury
and Surrealists are my primary influences, while my
classmates are my immediate
influences. I draw a lot of
inspiration from what’s happening around me, physically and emotionally,” said
Grace.

Lecture to discuss importance
of advance directives April 28
Hospice of Northwest
Ohio and the Advance Care
Planning Coalition of Greater
Toledo will host an evening
with respected physician and
author Angelo Volandes,
M.D., on April 28, at 7 p.m.,
at Premier Catering, 4480
Heatherdowns Boulevard,
Toledo.
The free, hour-long community event will emphasize
the importance of having conversations about a person’s
wishes if he or she were unable to speak due to an illness
or accident.
In his new book, “The
Conversation: A Revolutionary Plan for End-of-Life
Care,” Dr. Volandes makes
the case that the most important tool in medicine is, in
fact, the conversation between the physician and patient. He contends that if
doctors explain options–including the choice to forgo
certain medical interventions
that are often of little benefit
to patients with advanced illness–then patients can better
understand their options and
set clear goals for how they
wish to spend the remainder
of their lives.
Equally if not more important, it is critical that the conversation is taken one step
further and shared with family members who would be
called upon to make medical
decisions in the event you
could not speak for yourself.
While these conversations are
imperative near the end of
life, they are just as important
for younger people.
Dr. Volandes will discuss
ways to empower individuals
and their families to advocate
for an individual’s wishes before a crisis occurs.
Dr. Volandes practices internal medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital in
Boston, and is on faculty at
Harvard Medical School. He
is co-founder and president of
Advance Care Planning
(ACP) Decisions, a nonprofit foundation implementing systems and technologies
to improve the quality of care
delivered to patients in the
healthcare system.
Advance registration is required for the lecture by calling 419-931-5190 or online at
www.hospicenwo.org. Light
refreshments will be provided.
Blood drive set for April 26
The American Red Cross
will hold a blood drive on
Sunday, April 26, from 10
a.m. to 3 p.m., at the
Greater Toledo Islamic Center, 25877 Scheider Road,
Perrysburg.
To schedule an appointment, call 1-800-733-2767
or visit redcrossblood.org
for more information.
To be eligible to donate
blood, an individual must be
at least 17 years of age, or 16
with parental permission,
weigh a minimum of 110
pounds based on height, and
be in good general health.
All donors need to present
valid identification.
The Western Lake Erie
Region serves 11 counties,
and needs to collect about
300 units of blood a day to
meet patient need in 24 hospitals.

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer–a Mother’s Day weekend
tradition at the Town Center at Levis Commons–May 9
PERRYSBURG MESSENGER JOURNAL — April 15, 2015 — Page 9
‘Mary Poppins’ opens at Perrysburg High School on April 23
“Winds from the east ... Mist
comin’ in ... Like somethin’ was
brewin’, about to begin ...” The
magical adventures of Mary
Poppins are about to begin at
Perrysburg High School. The
directors, orchestra, cast and
crew are getting ready for opening night Thursday, April 23.
The PHS stage has been
transformed into Cherry Tree
Lane in London in preparation
for the upcoming performances.
Planning for this production
began a year ago, including the
design and creation of costumes
by a costume designer in
Chicago.
Construction of the many
set pieces began in February
and has taken more than 120
hours and the help of over 100
students. In addition, backdrops
were brought in from Michigan, Florida, Kansas and California, as well as some rented
set pieces and props from Indiana. And since Mary Poppins
wouldn’t be proper without a
flying nanny, a professional flying effects company out of Las
Vegas was hired to create the
flying effects and train the actors and handlers.
This production will be one
of the largest and most elaborate shows ever to be produced
at PHS. Theatre productions are
not funded through the district
or board of education, but rely
totally on patrons, ads and
ticket sales to produce the show.
Sound effects and lighting
will add to the play’s magic and
adventure. Approximately 50
students on the technical crew
will add their time and talents
behind the scenes to making a
successful production. This
year’s technical crew includes
Megan Galle serving as stage
manager, Katherine Swartzbeck and Sean Dunphy as assistant stage managers and
Faith Best as house manager.
Additional technical crew
members are:
•Lights Crew–Katie Pach
(co-chair), Haley Palicki (cochair), Nathan Brown, Soliman
Dastagir, Adam Dykes, Nicole
Jackson, Matt Kerr, Abbi King,
Courtney Lucas, Christin

Seely.
•Sound Crew–Sean McGivern (co-chair), Meric Pope

An estimated 6,000 northwest Ohio residents will join
together at the Town Center
at Levis Commons on Saturday, May 9, for the American
Cancer Society’s (ACS) annual Making Strides Against
Breast Cancer (MSABC)
event.
The non-competitive 5K
walk unites the community in
an effort to celebrate breast
cancer survivors, educate
people about how to reduce
their breast cancer risk, and to
raise funds for research and
treatment.
Making Strides has raised
more than $685 million nationally with 11 million walkers in 300 communities
across the country.
This year marks the ninth
annual MSABC event in
Northwest Ohio which has
raised more than $500,000
since its inaugural year.
The 2015 goal for
MSABC is to raise $100,000
plus locally to support the
ACS mission to save lives by
helping people stay well,
helping people get well, by
finding cures and fighting
back against breast cancer.

booth and strolling mascots,
there will be plenty of fun for
walkers of all ages.
Additionally, many Levis
Commons businesses offer
discounts, giveaways and
special promotions during the
event.
There is a special emphasis at Making Strides Against
Breast Cancer on celebrating
and showing support for people who have been victorious
in their fight against breast
cancer.
Survivors are invited to a
“Survivor Tent” at the walk
where they receive an honorary recognition item and
are pampered with free chair
massages and camaraderie.

‘The Other Trail of Tears’ topic of lecture at Fort Meigs
Dr. Mary Stockwell, Earnhart Foundation Fellow and author, will present “The Other
Trail of Tears: The Removal of
Ohio Indians” on Thursday,
April 16, at 7:30 p.m., at the
Fort Meigs visitor center in
Perrysburg. The presentation is
free and open to the public.
Doors open at 7 p.m.
While most people have
heard of the “Trail of Tears,”
down which the Cherokee,
along with the Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, and Seminole,
were driven from their homes
in Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi to reservations in present-day Oklahoma, few realize
that this struggle was part of a
wider story that reaches back
across time to the closing
months of the War of 1812,
back through many states–most
notably Ohio–and into the lives
of so many tribes, including the
Delaware, Seneca, Shawnee,
Ottawa, and Wyandot.
They, too, departed down
the “Other Trail of Tears” from
their traditional homeland to reserves in Kansas and Oklahoma.
Dr. Stockwell’s book, “The
Other Trail of Tears,” chronicles the struggles of Ohio’s native tribes in the period leading
up to their official removal
from the state, and sheds light
into how complex the removal
process actually was.
Looking back, the removal
of Ohio's tribes may seem inevitable today, but it never
looked that way when people in
Ohio in the early 19th century–both Indians and American citizens–looked toward the
future.
Ms. Stockwell received her
Ph.D. in American history from
the University of Toledo and
was a professor of history and
department chair at Lourdes
University. She currently is an
Earhart Foundation Fellow at
the William L. Clements Library at the University of
Michigan, where she is researching her upcoming book
on the life of Anthony Wayne.
She is the author of history
books used by young people
throughout the United States
including “The Ohio Adventure,” “A Journey through
Maine,” and “Massachusetts,
Our Home,” the 2005 winner
of the Gold Lamp Award from
the Association of Educational
Publishers for Best Book.
The program is sponsored
by the Anderton Bentley Fund
in memory of Christopher
Perky, who served at Fort
Meigs during the War of 1812.

WS individuals have extraordinary gifts and unique challenges
Join Walk for Williams Syndrome–Sat., May 16, at Grace Church
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 many locations throughout the country
with more than 10,000 people participating.
Locally, a walk will be
held Saturday, May 16, 9
a.m. to 1 p.m., at Grace
United Methodist Church,
601 East Boundary Street,
Perrysburg.
Michelle Self, mother of a
Williams Syndrome high
school
freshman
and
Williams Syndrome board
member, is organizing the
local walk.
She is joined by Sherry
and Greg Grover of Toledo
and Julie and Elisa Oglesbee
of Danbury to help “spread
the word” about Williams
Syndrome and raise funds
for research programs.
In addition to the walk,
activities at the May 16 event
include lunch, a bounce
house, musical entertainment, visit from Muddy the

The community is invited to join the fourth annual “Walk for Williams” on Saturday, May 16, at Grace Church in Perrysburg.
Joining Alex Bentley and his dog Hamden last year for the walk were his parents Michelle Self and Bill Bentley, grandparents, aunt and uncle.
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.
It affects one in 10,000
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, their overly friendly
personalities and tendency to
think everyone is a friend can
put them at risk in the community.
WSA is the most comprehensive resource for people
and families living with
Williams Syndrome as well
as doctors, researchers and
educators. WSA provides resources, support and the latest medical information to
help children with this syndrome throughout their lives.
Awareness month activities help fund the Williams
Syndrome Association’s research, medical emergency
and scholarship funds.
The medical fund provides financial support directly to families for
expenses associated with
costly medical procedures
for their children. Scholarships are provided for summer
enrichment,
postsecondary and transition programs and grants to educational conferences and
conventions.
For additional information about the Perrysburg
walk, send an email to Ms.
Self at maselfadvocate@hot

Natural ways to beat seasonal allergies
The arrival of warmer
weather changes the landscape completely. Animals
come out of hiding and
hibernation while trees and
flowers bloom anew. The
spring season can be an
exciting time for naturalists
and lovers of the great outdoors because they can
immerse themselves in the
sights, sounds and smells
of nature. But for many
people, spring also marks
the start of allergy season
and spending time outdoors
can become downright
uncomfortable for them.
The American College
of Allergy, Asthma and
Immunology says nasal
allergies affect approximately 50 million people in
the United States. Allergic
diseases, including asthma,
are the fifth most prevalent
chronic diseases among
people of all ages and the
third most common in children. Allergic rhinitis, or
hay fever, can occur in
spring, summer and/or
early fall. People who
experience hay fever often
can attribute their symptoms to sensitivity to pollens from trees, grasses,
weeds, or airborne mold
spores.
No two allergy sufferers
are alike, so medications
that may work for one per-
the library’s Information
Desk or call 419-874-3135,
extension 112, by April 22.
The program is open to
the public. Refreshments will
be served.
formances. All performances
are subject to approval by
Way Library. Space is limited.
Anyone who is interested
in performing can sign up at
son may be only mildly
effective for another. Many
medications can cause side
effects, which may be just
as frustrating as the initial
allergy symptoms. Treatments may target sneezing
and itching but fail to clear
up congestion. Drowsiness,
dry mouth and nasal irritation may be side effects of
common allergy drugs.
People who want to
avoid allergy medication
can look to natural remedies to alleviate their symptoms. Whether used alone
or in concert with traditional medicine, these remedies
may make spending time
outdoors more pleasant.
•Try probiotics. Probiotics, those friendly bacteria that reside in the digestive system, can do more
than just treat an upset
stomach. Naturopathic doctors say that probiotics also
can influence the immune
system and may help
strengthen its response to
common allergens. Since
probiotics are good for
replenishing healthy bacteria in the body anyway,
many people may want to
keep taking them once their
allergy symptoms have
come and gone.
•Use neti pots or saline
sprays. A small amount of
saltwater can rinse away
allergens, such as pollen,
that get lodged in the nose.
These rinses also can help
clear up congestion and
flush out any other irritants.
•Load up on omega-3s.
A German study published
in the journal Allergy found
that participants who ate
foods rich in omega-3 fatty
acids were less likely to
suffer allergy symptoms
than those who didn’t regularly eat these foods.
Omega-3s can help fight
inflammation. Drinking
more fluids and using
spices in cooking can help
flush out allergens as well.
•Don’t forget vitamin C.
Vitamin C is an immunesystem booster and may
help prevent the formation
of histamine in the body, a
substance responsible for
many allergy symptoms.

Exhibition by Sandra Jane Heard
opens at River House Arts May 9
River House Arts in
downtown Perrysburg will
present “the other line is
moving faster,” an exhibition featuring works on
paper and in glass. The
show runs April 18 through
May 23.
Artists included in the
exhibit are Jean Foos, Jeff
Mack
and
Michael
Ottersen.
Ms. Foos moved to New
York City’s East Village
from her hometown of
Greece, New York, to
attend Cooper Union,
where she received her
bachelor of fine arts degree
in 1976. Following a fellowship at the Rome-based
program of Tyler School of
Art (Temple University)
and a fellowship from the
National Endowment for
the Arts, she intensified her
pursuit of illusions of threedimensional motion and
interacting planes. Inspired
by her years of graphic production at Vanity Fair, she
has also created installations of fashion images
altered with her skeins of
interwoven depths.
Mr. Mack is an award
winning glass artist and
manager of the glass studio
at the Toledo Museum of
Art’s Glass Pavilion. He
has worked in glass for
nearly 20 years in contexts
including master glass
blower, factory stem maker,
artist’s assistant, gaffer and
fabricator for artists. He has
keen interest in historic
glass-making techniques
and has devoted much of
his study and work in glass
to this topic.
He is the recipient of
more than a dozen prestigious fellowships and residencies. A graduate of
Bowling Green State University, he continues to
teach extensively and
demonstrate internationally.
Mr. Ottersen has exhibited in New York, Zurich,
Albuquerque, Seattle, and
at the Bellevue (WA) Art
Museum. His work has
gained mention in several
publications.
He currently balances
his studio practice with his
teaching schedule at three
Seattle area arts institutions. His bachelor of fine
arts degree was earned at
Tyler School of Art (Temple University), and he
studied in Rome concurrently with Jean Foos–also
establishing himself in New
York’s East Village and
exhibiting at Gracie Mansion Gallery, Alexander
Milliken, and Feature Inc.
His practice of drawing
was manifest in an earlier
style of figural work–
impasto oil on panel or canvas that extended the style
of 16th-century Mannerism
into bodily contortions.

WGTE and Way Library
will present a screener of
“American Experience: Last
Days of Vietnam” on Thursday, April 23, at 10:30 a.m.
During the chaotic final
days of the Vietnam War, as
the North Vietnamese Army
closed in on Saigon, the
South Vietnamese resistance
crumbled. The United States
had only a skeleton crew of
diplomats and military operatives still in the country.
With a Communist victory
inevitable and the U.S.
readying to withdraw, many
Americans on the ground
worried their South Vietnamese allies and friends
faced imprisonment or death
at the hands of the approaching North Vietnamese. With the clock
ticking and the city under
fire, a number of heroic
Americans took matters into
their own hands, engaging
in unsanctioned and often
makeshift operations in a
desperate effort to save as
many South Vietnamese as
possible.
A discussion will follow
the screening.
The program is free and
open to the public; refreshments will be served.

dents about Ohio’s alcohol
laws. Agents hope parents and
students make the decision
not to participate in illegal and
dangerous behavior, such as
providing alcohol to minors
and consuming underage.
“While we know alcohol
consumption takes place before prom, most of the illegal
activity happens after prom
has concluded,” said OIU Enforcement Commander Eric
Wolf. “Either way, the excitement that comes along with
prom can easily turn into a
time of tragedy because of the
increased occurrences of underage drinking at after prom
parties. We urge parents not to
provide a place or allow alcohol consumption to take place
on your property.”
To help foster good
choices, parents and teens
need to understand Ohio’s underage drinking laws.
It is illegal to provide a
place for your child and
his/her friends to drink in a
“safe” environment. In fact,
parents may not provide alcohol to children who are under
21, who are not their own,
even in their own home with
the other parents' permission.
Those convicted of providing
alcohol to a person under 21
years of age face maximum
sentences of six months in jail
and/or a $1,000 fine.
It is illegal to purchase alcohol for anyone under 21.
Anyone who purchases, sells
or gives alcoholic beverages
to underage individuals faces
a $1,000 fine and/or up to six
months in jail.
Anyone under 21 who is
caught driving with a blood
alcohol concentration of .02
percent or higher, a level that
can be reached after just one
or two drinks, can be arrested.
Punishment is suspension of
driver license for at least 90
days up to a maximum of two
years, plus four points added
to the offender’s driving
record. Having an open container of alcohol in a motor
vehicle also is illegal.
Anyone who has information about a bar, store or carryout selling beer and/or
liquor to persons under the
age of 21; or information of
an underage house party, notify the Ohio Investigative
Unit by calling the #677 on a
cell phone and the complaint
will be investigated.

Humane Ohio offers free
services for cats in April
During the month of
April, Humane Ohio will
offer no-cost spay and neuter
surgeries, plus free rabies
vaccinations as part of
“Community Cat,” PetSmart
Charities’ spay/neuter campaign to alter free-roaming
cats.
If left unaltered, unowned
outdoor cats produce large
quantities of unwanted kittens each spring, flooding
local animal shelters and
leading to higher euthanasia
rates. By taking a proactive
approach and getting the cats
fixed now, Humane Ohio
will help lessen the impact of
the coming kitten season.
Spaying and neutering is
one of the most effective
ways to reduce the homeless
pet population and spaying a
female cat before the first
heat cycle can be beneficial,
improving the health of the
cat by reducing the risk of
certain reproductive cancers
and infections.

McMahon, community education coordinator with Home

you’re not in this alone and

MONDAY, APRIL 6 – 7:00 A.M.
HOMEOWNER’S BRUSH MUST BE AT THE CURB
PREPARE:
N NEW: Limit on length is 12’ long.
N This year the “out by date” is Monday, April 6, at 7
a.m.
N All brush must be placed at the curb, not in the alley.
N Pile brush parallel with street.
N Do not tie into bundles—stack loosely.
N Place small clippings and twigs in personal garbage
cans so they can be easily dumped (not in Toters).
N City crews will take branches, bushes, logs, stumps,
firewood and Christmas trees.
N Crews will begin on the west side of town this year
and work their way east.
N Once crews have been down your street, they will not
return. A supervisor will check daily to make sure all
brush piles were picked up.
AVOID:
N Brush pick up is not a yard waste or large item pick
up. Please do not place anything but brush to the
curb. Information on yard waste or large item pick up
is available by calling the Department of Public Service at 419-872-8020, Monday through Friday, 7 a.m.
to 3:30 p.m. or check the city website at www.ci.

N If other items such as ornamental grasses, weeds, sod
or leaves are mixed with the brush pile, everything
will be left and the homeowner will be responsible
for removal of all items.
N Metal, stones and other debris may damage equipment or injure workers.
WOOD MULCH:
N An area on the outside of the locked gate at the City
Compost Site near the Wastewater Treatment Plant at
1 West Boundary Street has wood mulch that is available at no charge to City residents throughout the
year.
N Residents may take this mulch during daylight hours.
N This mulch stockpile has been double-ground into
wood mulch and is used as a finishing touch for your
landscaping needs.
CITY COMPOST SITE:
N Available year round to City residents only—no commercial use.
N Weekdays—Monday through Friday (excluding
holidays) from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Residents must stop
at the Department of Public Service, 11980 Roachton
Road, first to get a key to unlock the gate. At that
time, the load will be inspected.
N Saturdays—the second and fourth Saturday of the
month from 8 a.m. to noon. Residents proceed
directly to the site and a city employee will be at the
gate to check your load. Residents must be registered to use the site on Saturdays. Stop by the
Department of Public Service, 11980 Roachton Road,
to register or for further information call 419-8728020 or go to the city’s website at www.ci.perrysburg
.oh.us. Click on City Compost Site.
N The City Compost Site now accepts ornamental grasses, cornstalks, straw bales and loose straw as well as
branches, bushes, firewood, logs, stumps and leaves.
Please keep the leaves separated from the brush as
there is a brush area and a leaf area.
N Grass clippings, plants, fence posts or building
materials are not accepted at the City Compost Site.
Thanks for your cooperation. If you have any questions, please call the Department of Public Service
at 419-872-8020 or go to the city’s website at www.ci.perrysburg.oh.us. Click on spring brush collection.

April is Healthy Homes Awareness Month ODA seeks entries for ‘Agriculture is Cool’ contest
Every day Americans are
exposed to health hazards in
their homes. According to the
United States Environmental
Protection Agency, Americans spend about 90 percent
of their time indoors. Indoor
hazards include mold, lead,
radon, carbon monoxide, tobacco smoke and pests. As
Americans spend so much of
their time indoors, these hazards can have negative effects
on health including lead poisoning, carbon monoxide exposure, and injuries such as
falls.
Despite the many hazards
in homes, these health issues
are preventable. To bring
awareness to these health concerns, Ohio Governor John R.
Kasich has designated April
as Healthy Homes Awareness
Month.
To place an ad, call
419-874-4491
There are seven principles
of having a healthy home.
Healthy homes are dry, clean
and safe. These homes are
well-ventilated and wellmaintained as well as free of
contaminants and pests. It is
important to have a healthy
home to reduce rates of lead
poisoning, asthma and falling
hazards.
The Wood County Health
District is joining Gov. Kasich
and the Ohio Department of
Health to promote healthy
homes for all Ohioans. This
year’s HHAM theme, “Ohio
Healthy Homes, Building a
Foundation for Healthy
Lives” underscores the importance of having and maintaining a healthy home to support
wellness throughout people’s
lives.
Families can maintain a
healthy home by understanding the seven principles of a
healthy home.
•Keep it dry. Prevent water
damage and mold growth by
checking your plumbing, your
roof and your draining system
for leaks. Make sure your
basement remains dry.
•Keep it clean. Remove
clutter and contaminants from
your home. Use a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA)
vacuum and wet cleaning
methods to remove small dust
particles and lead-based paint
dust.
•Keep it safe. Install
smoke and carbon monoxide
detectors. Put fire extinguishers in your home. Address
possible home safety hazards,
which can include uneven

birders visited Ohio in 2011,
with Lake Erie being the
most popular destination.
These groups spent more
than $843 million in Ohio in
2011 alone on supplies,
lodging, gasoline, travel expenses and food. A typical
May can see 80,000 visitors
from across the country
come to Magee Marsh
Wildlife Area to witness the
spectacle of the spring migration.
Magee Marsh Wildlife
Area is listed as one of the
top 10 bird watching spots in
the country.

enjoy nature and want to
help fund conservation in
Ohio can now purchase the
2015 Ohio Wildlife Legacy

eastern bluebird. The sale of
the Ohio Wildlife Legacy
Stamp benefits the Wildlife

PETS OF THE WEEK
Meet Shimmer. When this little lady isn’t
napping or looking for some affection from
her many human friends among our staff and
volunteers, she can often be found entertaining herself with all of the toys around the cat
room.Shimmer is an adult white cat, about 4
½ years old. In temperament, she is calm,
affectionate, and personable. In stature, she is
quite dainty. Shimmer loves to be petted and
she gets along well with her feline friends
around the shelter. Does Shimmer sound like
the perfect addition to your family? Then
come meet her today!
Omar can best be described as “sweet and
needy.” He loves to be around his humans,
so much that he barks and cries when left
alone for lengthy periods. Omar is very
fond of lap sitting, sloppy kisses, and food
sharing (we use the word “sharing” very
loosely here!). He also is very high energy.
He will go on as many walks as you’ll
indulge him. This Dachshund really needs
is a human who can give him enough time
and attention to tire him out! Omar is a
still a bit skittish. He is frightened by quick
movements and strangers, so he would be best placed in a home
without children. Does Omar sound like the kind of companion
that you’ve been searching for? Then, stop by the shelter and meet
this guy today!
*All of our pets have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated appropriate to their age, tested for heart worm and current on prevention

Imagination Station hosting ‘Guitar’ exhibit
history,” according to HP
Newquist, the executive director and founder of The
National Guitar Museum. “It
has been around longer than
baseball, basketball, soft
drinks and sports cars. This
exhibition is a celebration of
all that and more. It’s hard to
find anyone who hasn’t been
affected by the guitar,
whether as players or as fans
of music ranging from country and folk to jazz and rock.
And it may be apocryphal,
but it’s said that the two most
recognizable
man-made
shapes on the planet are the
Coke bottle and the electric
guitar.”
For more information, call

The exhibition is composed of three elements: the
science of sound; the evolution, engineering and design
of the guitar, and the guitar’s
cultural impact.
“The science of sound is a
rich area for scientific discovery. Guitar: The Instrument That Rocked The World
uses an instrument that most
people are familiar with to
explore some fascinating science concepts. ” said Carl
Nelson, chief scientist for
Imagination Station. “Sound
impacts our lives on a nearconstant basis, but many people never think about how
sound is created and transmitted.”
“The guitar is the most
enduring icon in American
Imagination Station in
Toledo is hosting “Guitar:
The Instrument That Rocked
The World” through May 17.
Visitors can discover the science and history behind the
instrument that revolutionized music. Play the world’s
largest guitar, see more than
60 instruments ranging from
the rare and antique to the
wildly popular and investigate how different materials
affect a guitar’s sound.
This exhibition explores
all facets of the world’s most
popular instrument–from its
evolution into an instrument
of popular culture to the science of creating sound with
wood and steel. Interact with
the guitar through hands-on
interactives, performance

antlerless permits in recent
years. The reduced bag limits
and adjusted hunting seasons
work to stabilize deer populations.
Deer population goals will

through a random survey of
hunters and landowners. Participants in the survey will
have the opportunity to provide input about the future of
deer management in Ohio.
Overview of the deer seasons for 2015-16:

The statewide bag limit of
six deer was approved, a reduction from the limit of nine
deer last season. Only one
deer may be antlered, and a
hunter cannot exceed a county
bag limit. Antlerless permits
may be used from September
26 through November 29.
Small game hunting seasons will continue during the
second gun weekend, December 28-29. The ringed-neck
pheasant and chukar hunting
seasons were extended one
week to January 10.
The Ohio Wildlife Council
voted to approve the proposals after receiving public input
from Ohioans at open houses
and a statewide hearing in
March. Open houses gave the
public an opportunity to view
and discuss proposed fishing,
hunting and trapping regulations with the ODNR Division of Wildlife officials.
For Ohioans who were unable to attend an open house,
comments were accepted online at wildohio.gov.
The Ohio Wildlife Council is an eight-member board
that approves all of the
ODNR Division of Wildlife
proposed rules and regulations. Council meetings are
open to the public. Individuals who want to provide comments on a topic that is
currently being considered by
council are asked to preregister at least two days prior to
the meeting by calling 614265-6304. All comments are
required to be three minutes
or less.
A reduction in white-tailed
deer bag limits and antlerless
permit use during the 2015-16
hunting seasons were among
regulations approved by the
Ohio Wildlife Council at its
scheduled
meeting
on
Wednesday, April 8, according to the Ohio Department of
Natural Resources (ODNR).
The council also voted to remove the peregrine falcon
from Ohio’s list of threatened
species.
The Ohio Wildlife Council
voted to approve deer hunting
proposals prepared by ODNR
Division of Wildlife. Among
the approved changes:
•Reduce bag limits in most
counties, and remove antlerless permits in all but 10
counties. No county had a bag
limit increase.
•Reduce the statewide bag
limit of deer from nine to six.
•Suspend the antlerlessonly muzzleloader weekend.
•Offer two additional days
of deer-gun hunting, December 28-29.
•Move muzzleloader season to January 9-12.
•Move the start of fall
turkey hunting to October 10,
two days earlier than 2014.
•Add one straight-walled
cartridge rifle, the .450 Marlin, to the existing list of legal
hunting rifles during the deergun and youth deer-gun seasons.
The Ohio Wildlife Council
also approved changes to
Ohio’s list of threatened
species.
The peregrine falcon, previously threatened, was removed from the list. The
population of peregrine falcons in Ohio, and throughout
the eastern United States, has
made a significant recovery
through conservation efforts.
The ODNR Division of
Wildlife will continue to monitor peregrine populations, but
on a smaller scale. This will
allow biologists to focus on
recovery efforts for other
species which need additional
attention.
The Rufa red knot, previously unlisted, was added to
Ohio’s list of threatened
species.

Wood County Safe Communities announced last
week that there have been
three fatal crashes in Wood
County for calendar year
2015, compared to two for
the same time period in 2014.
In an effort to make roads
safer, Wood County Safe
Communities is continuing to
promote the “One Text or
Call Could Wreck It All”
campaign to stop distracted
driving.
Wood County Safe Communities has pledged its support to help spread the
message that distracted drivers are not only a danger to
themselves, but everyone else
on the road.
“We all know that talking
on our cell phones while driving is distracting, but that
doesn’t stop most people
from continuing to do it,” said
Sandy Wiechman, Wood
County Safe Communities
coordinator. “This effort is intended to educate our community about the dangers of
cell phone use and other distractions while driving. We
hope that once people see the
statistics and realize the dan-
ger involved, they will
change their driving habits to
help protect themselves, their
families, and others on the
road.”
In 2013, 3,154 people
were killed in crashes involving a distracted driver and an
estimated additional 424,000
were injured in motor vehicle
crashes involving a distracted
driver. That same year, 11
percent of fatal crashes were
reported as distraction-affected crashes.
While anything that takes
your eyes off the road, hands
off the wheel, or mind off the
task of driving is a hazard,
there is heightened concern
about the risks of texting
while driving because it combines all three types of distraction–visual, manual, and
cognitive.
The national mobilization
to stop distracted driving focuses on ways to change the
behavior of drivers through
legislation,
enforcement,
public awareness, and education–the same activities that
have curbed drunk driving
and increased seat belt use.
“Every driver in Wood
Perrysburg Area Democratic Club
to meet on Thursday, April 16
The Perrysburg Area
Democratic Club will meet at
Way Public Library on Thursday, April 16, from 7 to 8
p.m. Starr Wlodarski will be
welcomed as the club’s new
treasurer and Jerry Robison
will be honored for his 17
years of service to the club.
Ms. Wlodarski joins club
officers Rachel Johnson, president; Barb Baumgartner, vice
president, and Carol Russell,
secretary. Mr. Robison has
joined the board of trustees.
The April meeting will
focus on the club’s annual
strategic planning update,
newly formed committees
and the November election.
“We are excited to talk
about our progress and goals
for this year,” said Ms. John-
son. “We welcome all area
Democrats to this meeting
and look forward to sharing
how they can be a part of our
activities for this year. It’s
going to be a lot of fun.”
The 2015 PADC meeting
schedule is as follows:
•June picnic, date and location to be determined
•Thursday, August 13
•Thursday, October 8
•Holiday gathering, date
and location to be determined
Unless otherwise noted,
all meetings are held at 7
p.m., in Way Library meeting
rooms A and B.
To learn more about upcoming events, contact the
club or to join the mailing list,
visit www.perrysburgarea
democraticclub.org.
County has a role in this effort,” said Ms. Wiechman.
“However, we especially
want to reach out to parents
with teen drivers because we
know that statistically, the
under 20 age group had the
highest proportion of distracted drivers involved in
fatal crashes.”
Wood County’s goal with
this campaign is simple– save
lives by getting drivers to remember that “One Text or
Call Could Wreck It All.”

GOT MULCH???
Published in the Perrysburg Messenger Journal, issue of April 15, 2015
Mulch is the material placed on the soil to conserve moisture and improve
growing conditions. Common mulches include wood chips, bark, pine
needles and compost. Organic mulches are preferred because they
improve soil structure, add organic materials and provide nutrients.
Applying a 2-4 inch layer of organic mulch can mimic a more natural environment and
improve tree health. However, if mulch is applied too deep or the wrong material is used, it
can actually harm trees. The beginning of the root flare, the place where the trunk widens
out to form roots, must remain visible. Avoid the lollipop look.
Benefits of Proper Mulching
•
•
•
•
Helps reduce soil moisture loss, control weed and grass competition
Protects the trunk from lawnmower and weed eaters
Insulates soil, protecting roots from extreme summer and winter temperatures
Gives a well cared for look in the landscape plantings
Proper Mulching
• Check soil drainage in the area to be mulched.
• Most organic mulches work well in most
landscape situations.
• Apply a 2 to 4 inch layer of mulch over welldrained soils. Use a thinner layer on poorly
drained soils.
• Do not pile mulch against the tree trunk. Pull
mulch back several inches from the trunk so
the base of the trunk and root crowns is
exposed. The mulch ring should resemble a “doughnut” not a “volcano”.
• If mulch is already present, check the depth. Do not add more if a sufficient layer is
already in place. Rake old mulch to break up matted layers and improve its appearance.
• Composted wood chips make good mulch, especially when it contains a mixture of leaves,
bark and wood. Fresh wood chips may be used around established trees and shrubs.
Avoid using fresh wood chips that have piled without exposure to oxygen. Sawdust and
straw are not recommended.
If a Little is Good, Then…
‘Volcano Mulching’ is an improper mulching technique where mulch is piled high against
the tree trunk. Mulch should not touch the trunk of the tree. The trunk was simply not
meant to be covered. Volcano mulching causes harmful effects on the tree’s health and will
eventually kill the tree.
Volcano mulching:
• Promotes excessive soil moisture and root rot.
• Causes inner bark tissue to die
• Leads to insect and disease problems
• Creates habitat for rodents that chew the bark and girdles
the stem
• Results in anaerobic conditions that produce alcohols and
organic acids toxic to young plants
• Causes imbalances in soil pH
• Becomes a matted barrier that prevents the penetration of
water and air
Planting Bed at Tree Base
• Trees in the forest usually have bare
ground or moss around their trunks.
Placing an elevated planting bed around
the perimeter of your trees has the
same detrimental effects as volcano
mulching.
• The tree may develop stem girdling
roots or development of insect and
disease problems.
• The bark on the trunk of the tree is not
intended to be covered by soil and mulch/soil will cause damage and eventually kill the
tree.

enjoy wildlife from a distance
and leave young animals in the
wild.
Many adult wild animals
will leave their young offspring alone while they forage
for food, or to divert the attention of potential predators
away from the more vulnerable young. When young animals are discovered with no
adults in sight, the adult is
often nearby waiting for people to leave the area before
they retrieve their young.
Most wild animals are
raised by only one adult or are
not tended to during the daylight hours. In the case of
white-tailed deer, a doe will
hide her young from predators
by leaving it alone in a secluded spot, such as a grassy
meadow or a flower bed. A
hidden fawn has virtually no
scent and when left alone is
difficult for predators to find.
The doe will tend to the fawn
or fawns several times each
night.
It is important to leave animals in the wild. If people disturb a nest, they should replace
the young animals and the nest
material as close to the original location as possible. It is a
myth that wildlife parents will
not tend to young because of
human scent.
State and federal laws protect and regulate wildlife and
endangered species in Ohio.
Only licensed wildlife rehabilitators, working under special
permits issued by the ODNR
Division of Wildlife, may possess and care for native wild
animals. These laws are in
place for the benefit of humans
as well as wild animals.
To further protect young
and vulnerable wild animals,
keep pets under control so they
do not raid nests and injure
wild animals. Keep pets inoculated against parasites and
diseases. Check for nests before cutting down trees or
clearing brush. It is best to cut
trees and clear brush in the autumn when nesting season is
over.
Educate children to respect
wildlife and their habitat, observing wildlife from a distance.
Contact your local wildlife
official before taking action.
Call 1-800-WILDLIFE or visit
wildohio.com to be connected
with the proper individuals.
