PROGRESS IN PERRYSBURG INSIDE! PERRYSBURG YOUR HOMETOWN NEWSPAPER 1853 1935 VOLUME 160, NUMBER 30 – JULY 25, 2012 PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER ©WELCH PUBLISHING COMPANY, PERRYSBURG, OHIO, (419) 874-4491 75¢ SINGLE COPY Six transportation proposals received City to place 1.45-mill levy on Nov. ballot to fund transportation Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney visited Bowling Green last week where he was welcomed by about a thousand supporters, along with local and state officials. Romney outlines economic plan during visit in BG Emphasizing the importance of business owners in the nation, U.S. Presidential candidate Mitt Romney made a campaign stop in Bowling Green last week. “My optimism flows from what’s happening in states like this, where people believe in common sense principles like holding down spending, balancing budgets, keeping taxes as low as possible, putting in place business-friendly legislation so that you encourage businesses to come back and to add jobs here,” he said to about a thousand supporters gathered at the Bowling Green Training and Community Center on July 18. Mr. Romney cited a study released last week by the National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB), asking economists to predict what would hap- pen if President Barack Obama’s tax policies were enacted. “His tax policy is to take the tax on small business from 35 percent to 40 percent,” Mr. Romney said. “The NFIB came back with a number they say that if that policy gets put in place, it will kill 710,000 jobs. That’s the direction of this President.” The Republican Presidential candidate also responded to President Obama’s recent comment that “If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.” Former Massachusetts governor Romney asked business owners in the audience to stand and be recognized with applause. “I recognize that a lot of people help you in a business–the banks, the investors, there’s no question your mom and dad, school teachers, the people that provide roads, the fire, the police. There are a lot of people in government who help us, and allow an economy that works, and allow entrepreneurs and business leaders to create jobs,” he said. “Don’t forget that by the way, government doesn’t come up with these people out of thin air. We pay for these people, for the resources we receive. “But to say what he said is to say that Steve Jobs didn’t build Apple, or Bill Gates didn’t build Microsoft, or Henry Ford didn’t build Ford Motor Company,” the candidate continued. “Because what he’s saying is if someone succeeded, if they built something, they didn’t really build it. It was the government. It was the government that takes responsibility.” “I know how to get this economy going, by the way. Having spent 25 years in the private sector, I have some understanding of how business people make decisions,” Mr. Romney said. The candidate outlined five steps he would take to spur the American economy. His plan is “not based on a philosophy that says that government has all the answers. It’s based on a recognition that free people have dreams of taking risk, and building jobs again.” First, he plans to take advantage of energy resources–oil, coal, gas and the pipeline from Canada, to make the nation “energy secure.” “This President has done almost everything in his power not to make it possible to mine coal, he’s held off on the development of our oil resources. He’s tried to have the federal government insinuate itself into the production of natural gas resources, has not made it easier for people in the energy industry, has not made it easier for the American consumer and has forced jobs that left to go elsewhere where energy is less expensive.” Secondly, Mr. Romney emphasized opening new markets to trade American goods. “We are the most productive people in the world, and I want to open up the markets to Latin America,” he explained. “The Chinese and the Europeans have figured that out. In the past three and a half years, they have Please turn to page 2➧ ‘If you don’t mind my saying so’ PAAC Youth Theater presents ‘Music Man, Jr.’ tonight and tomorrow at PJHS By Deb Buker At a special meeting last week, Perrysburg City Council approved a resolution to place a 1.45-mill levy on the November ballot to fund a new city transit system. If approved by voters, the five year levy would generate approximately $800,000 annually, costing an owner of a $100,000 home about $44 a year. The levy request was forwarded to the Wood County auditor and Board of Elections for certification of the total current tax valuation and the dollar amount of revenue the levy would generate if approved in November. At its July 31 meeting, city council will vote for final approval for levy placement on the ballot. Transportation Proposals The health, sanitation and public utilities (HSPU) com- mittee, on July 13, reviewed six proposals received for public transportation services. Committee chairman and Councilman Todd Grayson stated that three companies were local bidders and three had home offices outside Ohio. The city’s request for proposals (RFP) RFP included a fixed route community shuttle, ADA paratransit service and dial-a-ride service. The six proposals received were: •Black & White Transportation Services -Regular fixed route service, pull-out-to pull-in: $49.66 rate per hour. -ADA paratransit service, door-to-door: $43.62 rate per hour (87 scheduled weekly hours). -Dial-A-Ride demand response service, curb-tocurb: $43.62 rate pr hour (87 scheduled weekly hours). •LeFleur Transportation of Tupelo, Inc. -Regular fixed route services, pull-out to pull-in: $40 rate per hour. -ADA paratransit service, door-to-door: $40 rate per hour (87 scheduled weekly hours). -Dial-A-Ride demand response service, curb-tocurb: $40 rate per hour (87 scheduled weekly hours). •MV Transport, Inc. -Regular fixed route service, pull-out pull-in: $54.29 rate per hour. -ADA paratransit service, door-to-door: $50.79 rate per hour (87 scheduled weekly hours). -Dial-A-Ride demand response service, door-todoor: $50.79 rate per hour (87 scheduled weekly hours). •Mobile Care EMS & Transport -Regular fixed route service, pull-out pull-in, one vehicle, year one: $53 rate per revenue hour. -ADA paratransit service, door-to-door, two vehicles, year one: $75 rate per revenue hour (87 scheduled weekly hours). -Dial-A-Ride demand response service, curb-tocurb, two vehicles: $75 rate per revenue hour (87 scheduled weekly hours).

At the July 18 township trustees meeting, Fire Chief Tom Brice said the department made a total of 161 runs in June. “That’s 31 above the average and a pretty substantial jump,” he added. Of those calls, 136 were EMS runs and 25 were fire calls. Mutual aid was needed twice and provided in five cases. EMS responded to 61 residential calls as well as 16 businesses including five visits to the Chrysler plant. They also handled 10 calls at Owens Community College, 21 from Perrysburg Commons, five at Holiday Inn French Quarter and six along U.S. Route 20. The most frequent requests for EMS services pertained to illness, 20; falls, 16; multi-vehicle accidents, 15 and cardiac, 12. The fire department responded to 10 fire alarms, five structure fires, three grass fires and two open burns. Chief Brice also noted that the department generated revenue of $34,292 in June, a significant increase from June 2011 when the department generated $15,105. Other Business In other business, the trustees: •Reviewed the detective report from June 18 to July 18. Detectives are working on drug, breaking and entering, theft, retail theft, felonious/abduction and credit card fraud investigations. Police Chief Mark Hetrick also noted the detectives participated in a vice operation on June 26 with the Wood County Sheriff’s Department. Four men and three women were arrested for solicitation; one for promoting prostitution, and one for drug abuse, said the chief. •Accepted the retirement of Kris Swihart from the fire department. “She has been with the department since 1988 and before coming to us, she worked for Sandusky County EMS,” said Chief Brice. “She will be missed but has volunteered to stay on as a volunteer through the end of the year.” •Approved the purchase of a 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe for the police department from Baumann Auto Group of Genoa at a cost of $29,650. •Heard from Recreation Director Bob Warnimont that the agreement for two baling machines at a cost of $12,000 for recycling has been sent to Wood County. Mr. Warnimont also informed the trustees that he has applied for a park grant to resurface the walking track at Starbright Park. •Hired John Appt as a computer consultant on an as needed basis for desktop/laptop issues. •Approved assessments for 27 lighting districts at a total cost of $81,000. •Renewed membership in the Wood County Port Authority for 2013 at a cost of $4,500. •Agreed to put a 15-yearold all-terrain vehicle owned by the police department on GovDeals.

The transition to Emergency Communications Network’s (ECN) CodeRED mass notification solution from One Call Now began earlier this month. ECN recently acquired all One Call Now’s Government Emergency Center/911 clients. The transition from One Call Now to CodeRED will offer Perrysburg Township access to unique, Webbased features that were not available with the previous provider. Emergency managers at Perrysburg Township will be able to more effectively communicate time-sensitive messages using ECN’s robust dialing infrastructure that is entirely managed by ECN, allowing calls to be delivered seconds after township officials launch a message. The Perrysburg Area Arts Council’s (PAAC) six-week Youth Summer Musical Theater Camp will present “Music Man, Jr.” tonight, Wednesday, July 25, and tomorrow evening, July 26, at 7:30 p.m., in the Perrysburg Junior High School auditorium. Tickets are $7 and can be purchased at the door. A reception will follow the performances. “Music Man, Jr.” is an adaptation of the classic musical that is family entertainment at its best. The story follows fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill as he cons the people of River City, Iowa, into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys’ band he vows to organize–despite the fact he doesn’t know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian the librarian, who transforms him into a respectable citizen at the end. The cast includes the Rock Island Train Passengers and Salesmen–Henry Newberg, Giovanni Lanza, Geronimo Simon, Derrick Egli, Connor Treece, Seth Lanza, Justin Weider, Jenna Carella and Ashley Keane; Charlie Cowell/Tommy Djilas, Giovanni Lanza; Harold Hill, Connor Treece; Mayor Shinn, Henry Newberg; Ms. Dunlop, Caroline Conner; Mr. Hix, Derrick Egli; Mr. Britt, Justin Weider; Ms. Squires, Samantha Perkins; Marcellus Washburn, Seth Lanza; Marian Paroo, Emily Cottle; Mrs. Paroo, Emma Hayward; Amaryllis, Kayleen Kalb; Winthrop Paroo, Katherine Swartzbeck; Eulalie Mackecknie Shinn, Fiona Conolly; Zaneeta Shinn, Ashley Keane; Gracie Shinn, Emma Rasar; Ethel Toffelmier, Jenna Carella; Alma Hix, Kate Lake; Maude, Abby Henry; The Kids Band–Kayleen Kalb, Katherine Swartzbeck, Emma Rasar, Geronimo Simon, Mackenzie Neff and Isabel Cottle.

However, citizens are encouraged to update their information by visiting the Web site and registering on the Citizen Enrollment Notification page their current contact information including cell phone, business and home telephones, as well as e-mail and text addresses of where they would like notifications to be sent. Although residents are guaranteed to receive emergency notifications upon enrollment, they may optout of receiving a variety of other general notifications that may include road work and community announcements. To ensure you are included in the new CodeRED database, visit the Perrysburg Township Web site at www.perrys burgtownship.us for instructions. As a new feature, the township also will send notifications to CodeRED Mobile Alert app subscribers. The Mobile Alert app provides users geobased public safety alerts that impact them at their current location. The app provides an additional method for the township to communicate messages to not only local residents, but also to anyone traveling through the area. “Once you sign up, even if you travel to another CodeRED community, you will be able to access those alerts as well,” explained the fire chief. ECN Emergency Communications Network is headquartered in Ormond Beach, Florida. ECN has pioneered City of Perrysburg second quarter income tax estimates due Tuesday, July 31 high-speed emergency notification services capable of reaching millions of citizens in minutes. ECN’s sophisticated network supports a Web-based product suite featuring four major services: CodeRED® which enables local government officials to communicate time-sensitive, personalized messages via voice, e-mail and text messaging; CodeRED Weather Warning™ which provides automated alerts to citizens in the path of severe weather just moments after a warning has been issued by the National Weather Service; My Daily Call™ for scheduling calls to check on atrisk individuals, including the elderly, infirm and latchkey kids, and CodeED® for use by school systems to improve communications with their communities.

The prices are good for one year and can increase up to 5 percent each additional year, explained Tim Fisher, city deputy finance director. The proposals are for three years with two additional one-year options. Councilman Grayson recommended that proposals from Mobile Care EMS and TLC Transport be eliminated because he believes they do not have the requisite scope of experience and size for the city.

It signifies clearly that our county remains a place where people want to work, live, raise a family, obtain an education and open a business,” said Mr. Brown, who is a candidate for state representative this November. “This economy demands that we remain vigilant in doing all that we can to make our country, our state and our county a great job producer again–and my message in Columbus is that we can continue to move our economy forward with Wood County’s successful model of conservative governance. “Our economic template in Wood County or VOICE*CONTEMPORARY*IRISH STEP DANCE We’ve also seen healthcare costs go through the roof.

Perrysburg Township police were searching this week for two Toledo men allegedly involved in killing a woman in Perrysburg Heights. Detective Sergeant Jim Gross said officers were called at 1:20 a.m., Sunday, July 22, to a house on Broad Street, on the report of a woman being shot. Leandra Frankum, 21, sustained a fatal gunshot wound and was pronounced deceased at the scene, he said. Ms. Frankum recently had been been staying in Perrysburg Township, although the murder took place in the home of a cousin, the detective said. The report was called in by a person sleeping in the home, he explained. “We’re still working on confirming the information,” Sgt. Gross said, but added that the two suspects in the case “did not suddenly come barging in.” At press time, police were still searching for Jose A. Moya Jr., 23, of Utica Street, Toledo, to charge him with murder, and Raul Moya, 18, East Buckeye Street, Toledo, on a charge of obstructing justice. Ms. Frankum is the mother of an infant, but the baby was not in the residence at the time of the homicide, the detective said. Sheriff’s Report, Middleton Twp.

REMINDER Wood County Manufactured Home Tax Due Date July 31, 2012 Penalty of 10% is assessed after due date. JILL ENGLE Wood County Treasurer PERRYSBURG MESSENGER JOURNAL — July 25, 2012 — Page 3 OPEN LETTER To the residents of Perrysburg Township: Since January 2012, I have attended several Perrysburg Township Trustees’ meetings to encourage our trustees to talk to the private trash haulers who provide service to our township to see if any of them would be interested in providing a more competitive rate to our residents. The purpose of my request was to have fewer heavy trucks on our township roads (resulting in less frequent resurfacing), lower costs to our residents as well as trash containers at curbside on fewer days. Only one carrier currently serving our township was interested in doing so and has sent out postcards twice to all Perrysburg Township residents with a reduced rate for trash and curbside recycling. I am going to sign up for this special rate for one trash and one recycling container by going to the Perrysburg Township Web site. The reason for my request to the trustees was not only to benefit our residents but the costs to our township as well.

Other girls bringing their strength to the blocks each meet for the 9-10 year olds are Angelina Barone, Reagan Black, Jordyn Bohland, Emily Claypool, Hannah Davis, Elizabeth Diaz, Jenna Foos, Alaina Foster, Hatden Fry, Allison Pisula. Regan Root, Ella Sams, Jillian Seitz, Delaney Rimes and Hope Yost. Also swimming in a stellar group of 9-10 years old boys this year are Peter Cooper, Gianni DeLucia, Jake DiSalle, Sid Fernandes, Grant Hayward, Eric Mefferd, Jason Mefferd, Zach McClellan, Will Nedley, Drew Paule, Jack Ryder, Seth Stahl, Jacob Villani and John Welsh. “Many of our 9-10 boys swim in the 11-12 events, which is twice the distance,” said Coach Mefferd. “While we have a big team, there are no 11-12 year old boys. These younger boys get points in an older age group.” However, the 11-12 year old girls team is solid with Grace Davis, Jordan Foos, Madelyn Frantz, Caroline Lathrop and Michelle Lee. This summer, Belmont has their largest 13-14 year old group with many strong, year-round swimmers. On the girls team are Mary Sophia Barone, Meghan Burnard, Anjali Fernandes, Fatima Knight, Alexa Rooney, and Natalie Ryder. Swimming for the boys are Sean Brown, Jack Carroll, Grant Ewbank, Nick Harms, Max Johnston, Swilliam Knight and Hayden McClary. Finishing Belmont’s strength are the 15-18 year old swimmers which include Belmont Country Club swimmers traveled to Inverness with the goal of finishing the season undefeated. It did happen, barely. Belmont swimmers came home a bit humbled with a mere 8-point win. Relays began the meet and each team was taking turns with the win. At the end of the first set of relays, Inverness was ahead by 4 points. After the Individual Medley, in which participants swim all four strokes in one event, the Belmont swimmers took the lead by 6 points. “This meet was not a sure win and we knew it,” said Head Coach Jackie Venzel. “Inverness has continually had some very strong swimmers. We took the league trophy from them last year and they want it back.” After the freestyle individual events, Inverness again took the lead by 6 points. Then Belmont took the lead by 30 points with the backstroke events. The score was Belmont, 173; Inverness, 141. After breaststroke, Belmont maintained the lead 212–185. But, after butterfly the margin was only 14 points, 243–229. “With each series of events, our lead was becoming more narrow,” said Kelsey Mefferd, coach of the 9-10 year old swimmers. “It actually came down to the last relays holding our lead. We had to win those relays.” Coming through as always this season were the 9-10 age swimmers. Mia Schmittenberg, Claire DeRaad, Cecily Hayward and Molly Dynda took first, as did John Burnard, Alex Harms, Sam Lathrop and Arison Zeisloft in the 200 Free Relays. These relays gave Belmont the Meghan Burnard, Fatima Knight and Ketan Fernandes look forward to their next competition. Drew Paule and Peter Cooper check out their scheduled events.

The CSI Youth Camp will be offered at the college’s Center for Emergency Preparedness, which is located on Tracy Road in Lake Township. The camp will take place Tuesday through Thursday, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. “Owens Community College is proud to offer an educational camp in which students will learn how to solve a crime using actual forensic skills,” said Michael Cornell, Owens director of the Center for Emergency Preparedness. “Attendees will not know if they solved the crime until the last day of camp when the SWAT team raids a building and captures the villain, which will make for an exciting end to the CSI Youth Camp experience.” Working with a forensic team, each student detective will have the opportunity to enter a re-creation of an unusual and challenging crime scene where an instructor will direct and coach the students as they use deductive skills, teamwork, math and science to solve the crime. Each camp attendee will be trained in the basic process of evidence collection that includes fingerprints, fibers and hair, blood tectives will learn how to protect the chain of evidence as they interview witnesses and develop theories while working as a team to solve the crime. During the last day of camp, each attendee will make a presentation detailing their theories of the crime and identifying the perpetrators of the criminal activity. Each team presentation will be critiqued by a panel of law enforcement officers and forensic scientists. For more information, or to register, call 567-6612411.

Features will give residents the opportunity to meet city employees and learn how each job contributes to the quality of life in the city. Emergency Medical Services By Assistant Fire Chief Jon Seiverth Prior to the 1970s, fire departments had a very small role in providing emergency medical services (EMS). They were called only for car accidents requiring extrication or a delay in the ambulance arriving on scene. Firefighters had very basic first aid training and equipment, if any at all. Almost all ambulances were based out of funeral homes with their employees trained for EMS and funeral duties. Locally, Witzler-Shank Funeral Home provided the ambulance for the Perrysburg community. Several Perrysburg firefighters worked for Witzler-Shank on an as needed basis. In the 1970s, the medical community realized people were needlessly dying due to a lack of prehospital care. The Vietnam War demonstrated early medical intervention meant the difference between life and death. This concept created a national standard of care. New standards meant more training and expensive equipment that many funeral homes could not afford. As with fires, a key component of saving lives is response times. Fire stations were already located based on community response times and logical choice for the newly evolving EMS. Then Witzler-Shank stepped out of the ambulance role, allowing the fire division to assume the emergency care and transport of the sick and injured. The division began housing a Basic Life Support ambulance in 1975, keeping a minimum of one full time firefighter on station 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Ambulance staffing at that time was primarily volunteer, with all ambulance personnel still responding from home to the fire station. From the station, the personnel would take the ambulance to the scene. In 1976, the fire division responded to 236 EMS calls with the ambulance. Then in 1978, the City of Perrysburg hired our first four paramedics. Paramedic training was still relatively new. It wasn’t until the early 1980s paramedics were required to pass a state test. Of the four paramedics hired, often times only one was on duty to respond with the ambulance from the station. Ambulance staffing was augmented with volunteers or off-duty personnel who responded from home. Typically only two to three providers would respond to medical calls, regardless of severity. Protocols, the standards by which EMS operates, were very restrictive. Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) can recall asking for permission to start an intravenous line on a patient. EMS was still a very new concept and though treatments and procedures were very limited compared to today’s standards–this first generation of EMS providers were providing a level of care never seen previously. By 1978, the fire division was responding to 266 EMS calls with their Advanced Life Support Unit. In 2000, the fire division responded to 1,088 EMS calls. All newly hired employees were required to be certified paramedics. Sixteen career firefighter/paramedics were on staff with a minimum of four on duty at all times. Today’s level EMS care hardly resembles the care provided just 30 plus years ago. The transition of EMS has been phenomenal. While early forms of EMS would focus on delivering patients to the hospital, modern day EMS incorporates ever-advancing assessments and treatments at the point of care. Assessments and treatments once reserved for the emergency room have extended into the living room of the patient. Many medical conditions can be treated within minutes of fire division arrival. In some cases conditions can be treated and reversed, eliminating the need for hospital transport and unnecessary expense. Paramedic training was once taught over a few months but now can run up to two years. Training is intense with multiple demands placed on students that rival medical residents. Once a student becomes certified as a paramedic, recertification in Ohio is required. Over a three year period, paramedics acquire a minimum of 86 hours of continuing education to recertify with the state. Though not required, many of our paramedics are nationally certified, requiring 72 hours of continuing education for a two year cycle. Many of our para- medics acquire more than 100 hours of continuing education pertaining to a myriad of topics. By comparison, a registered nurse is required to attain 24 hours each two year cycle, and a typical emergency physician is required to attain 100 hours. When Perrysburg first hired paramedics, medical emergencies such as heart attacks were undetectable by their equipment. This changed in the 1990s with advances in heart monitors. Perrysburg began implementing 12 lead EKGs in the field, allowing paramedics to detect when a patient is having a heart attack. A 12 lead EKG looks at 12 angles of the heart. Prior to a 12 lead EKG, we could only see three angles and were not able to detect many heart attacks. Early detection allows for better on-scene treatment and earlier notification to the hospital. Today, when a paramedic reports to the hospital a patient is having a heart attack, the hospital has time to prepare. The emergency room notifies the cardiology team and at times will direct the EMS crew to take the patient straight to the operating room. In cases such as this, it is not uncommon for a patient to have heart surgery within an hour of calling 911. The result is a better course of treatment, transition of care and improvement in patient outcome. Today, patients tend to recover quicker and have fewer long-term problems directly attributed to the medical condition they encounter. What makes Perrysburg EMS unique is that we strive to be on the leading edge of patient assessment and care. In many cases we find that our protocol group (Monclova, Waterville, Perrysburg Township and Perrysburg City) have been implementing tools and techniques long before other entities. One example is treatment for cardiac arrest patients. Four years ago, the number of cardiac arrest patients successfully resuscitated was only 12 percent. Within the last four years, our resuscitation rate has been one of the best in the nation–topping 51 percent. Often we are asked why a fire engine responds with an ambulance to EMS calls. In addition to better utilizing manpower, the members are able to more efficiently care for patients. Assessment and care is more thorough and transfer to the hospital more effective. If we as pre-hospital providers are more effective in our care, the overall care of the patient tends to improve. Making improve- ments with our response is one aspect enabling us to provide a higher level of service. Our cardiac arrest save rate illustrates the importance of our dual response. One hundred percent of our cardiac arrest resuscitations in the previous eight years were accompanied with a dual vehicle response. Interestingly, several of our cardiac arrest patients (now survivors) were not determined to be pulseless until our arrival on scene. Having enough providers on scene in the early moments of resuscitation is critical to the survival of patients. Once a cardiac arrest patient is resuscitated, we then begin the process of cooling the patient below normal body temperatures, which continues for 24 to 48 hours. This allows the patient more time to heal and aids in better outcomes. This is a treatment that Perrysburg was one of the first in the nation to perform. Perrysburg delivered two of the first cardiac arrest survivors to St. Luke’s Hospital who received this hypothermia treatment regimen. Some of our most critically ill patients require swift and decisive action. At times patients need intravenous fluids and medications. A critical patient can be so ill that accessing a vein is nearly impossible. Our paramedics have been able to overcome this obstacle by the use of an intraosseous (IO) drill. This device drills into the bone, allowing quick access to blood circulation. This technique provides fluids and medications that otherwise would be delayed. The world of pre-hospital medical care has dramatically evolved. The Perrysburg Fire Division has been diligent over the years to provide not only the highest of care, but staying with current trends. Many of today’s paramedics are providing a level of care that only 30 years ago was once limited to a physician. The key to saving lives in Perrysburg is calling for a paramedic when the symptoms first begin. You can have the best doctor in the world, but all they have to work with is correcting the problem when you get to them. Calling 911 early can help to reverse many conditions such as heart attacks. When you see our firefighters at one of the many events we participate in the community, please feel free to talk to our paramedics and ask to see the equipment. We promise you will be amazed at the level of care for you and your loved ones. PERRYSBURG MESSENGER JOURNAL — JULY 25, 2012 — Page 9 PHS graduate and entrepreneur April Francis featured in new summer CBS reality show ‘3’ April Francis never had any aspiration to star in a reality television show. “None,” she said. In fact, where would this 29-yearold entrepreneur find the time? Ms. Francis, who lives in Chicago, created and manages three businesses in the Chicago area–Haute Closet, a wardrobe styling service; Dose Market, a year-round market featuring food and fashion, and AF, a full-service brand consulting business. And, in between, she teaches a course at Columbia College in Chicago– “The Business of Styling.” But never say never. And on Sunday evening, the 2001 Perrysburg graduate has a change…a change of heart. She is one of the three main cast members in the CBS reality show “3”–a new relationship series in which three single women of different ages, life experiences and backgrounds meet for the first time with a common goal–to find true love. A member of the PHS Class of 2001, Ms. Francis actually graduated a year early, in 2000. She continued her education at the University of Michigan receiving a bachelor ’s degree in English language and literature in 2004. The Perrysburg resident went to work for Adams Street Publishing selling ad space for several area publications. “It was an incredible experience and gave me confidence to start my own business,” she said. The entrepreneur also recalls working during her high school days at Santa Fe Way and Meig in downtown Perrysburg. “Tina Mather Bothe of Santa Fe Way hired me when I was in high school and that was a very informative experience–working for such a creative, entrepreneurial spirit. I love Tina,” said the young woman. “I was glad to work with Meig Nitschke when she first opened ‘Meig’ and was always inspired by her mom, Camela, at The Ribbonry.” Ms. Francis remembered her sixth-grade teacher Annettee Sipp, “who stands out as super motivating and encouraging” and former Perrysburg Area Arts Council executive director Robin Ballmer “who was one of the first to encourage me in my fledgling creative attempts, professionally.” But her biggest supporters are her parents, Patrick and June Francis and younger brother Tyler. “My mom and my dad are incredibly supportive and loving,” she said. “My mom taught me that life is what you make it, and my dad taught me to never settle.” The entrepreneur has always had a love for fashion. “You can see it in my earliest childhood photos,” she said. “I have a pretty robust archive of pieces I have worn throughout the years. Everywhere I travel, I seek out boutiques.” On October 18, 2005, she wrote the business plan for Haute Closet. “When I decided I wanted to go it alone, I asked myself, ‘what can I offer the world?’ Styling was always something that came very naturally, so I built the business around this,” she explained. With Haute Closet, a Chicago based business, Ms. Francis “edits your wardrobe, organizes your closet, details the pieces you still need and shows you how to pull it all together. The end result–your Haute Closet.” “I loved the process of building Haute Closet’s image and brand and, especially teaching people how to love what they are wearing and love themselves in the process,” she added. In 2010, the PHS graduate created Dose Market, a market to serve the Chicago community, consumers and producers. “Basically, I was challenged by a business associate to start a market at the River East Art Center, and so I did,” she explained. “I christened it ‘Dose,’ and went about bringing together a highly-curated edit of the best in food and fashion specifically for Chicagoans. “I love Dose. It has been personally rewarding to see many vendors launch at Dose and/or find increased success in getting their products out there. I absolutely love when people say they love to get ‘Dosed.’” AF, her consulting business, focuses on verbal messaging and has such clients as Hyatt International. So why a television reality show? “A producer of the show asked my friend Kelly if she had any recommendations for this new show and she recommended me,” explained the cast member, who recently was featured in a video for the Made by Nike campaign. “I was not that into it. But the process became extremely interesting to me, and there was no way I was going to tell CBS executives interested in me that I was not interested in them.” The television series also stars 34-year-old pharmaceutical sales rep Rachel Perrysburg High School graduate and Chicago entrepreneur April Francis will be featured on the new CBS reality show “3” tomorrow, Thursday, July 26, at 10 p.m. Harley and 24-year-old model Libbey Lopez. The series is hosted by Alex Miranda. During the series, the three women meet nearly 100 men before they begin to narrow down their suitors. As they search for partners, they share their lives and emotionally support one another during the dating and decision-making process. “The show was an absolute riot to film,” said Ms. Francis. “I feel like my whole life has changed for the better. I am now a much better dater and feel like a more relaxed person. Do a reality show and insecurities disappear.” Yes, she said there was definitely a change–a change for the better. But, does the entrepreneur ’s heart find love? The CBS show “3” premieres tomorrow, Thursday, July 26, at 10 p.m. The second esisode airs on Sunday, July 29, and continues on Sundays thereafter. -Deb Buker Perrysburg Rotary Community Park Rotary Club and city officially open five new tennis courts A ribbon-cutting ceremony recently was held to officially open the five new tennis courts at Perrysburg Rotary Community Park. Located on Fort Meigs Road, across from Fort Meigs Elementary School, the park has been a 10-year project with the Perrysburg Rotary Club donating $200,000 as seed money to fund infrastructure of the park. “What you don’t see here is the underground work–the foundation, the drainage, etc.,” said Rotary President Steve Hopkins at the ribbon cutting ceremony. “We are very pleased to work with the city on this project. Thank you.” The City of Perrysburg contributed $100,000 for infrastructure work which included a walking/jogging trail. The tennis courts are the first non-infrastructure portions of the park to be added. The city also funded construction of the five tennis courts at a cost of $166,000 aided by a $23,000 Ohio Nature Works grant. The asphalt courts are fenced and painted blue and green–the same colors used by the U.S. Tennis Association. The courts are open to the public during daylight hours and meet regulations allowing high school tennis tournaments to be held at the park. “This has been such a wonderful project for all of us,” said Jon Eckel, director of public service. “We started out with the acquisition of the property many years ago, then trying to find a use for our citizens, for our public. We put a committee together and came up with the idea of a ‘little people’s park’ concept. It has gone rather slowly, but now we are moving. “There are a lot of neat things coming. And hopefully by the end of the year we can get this graded and seeded for soccer fields and baseball fields. We also are planning a splash park–a lot coming. We have 18 wonderful acres here, and I guess our imagination can be the guide.” Rotarian and project architect Jeff Normand told those assembled what he finds most interesting about the park is “that it is not the city doing it, it is not Rotary Perrysburg Rotary Club members, city officials and members of the city’s parks, recreation advisory committee (PRAC) recently gathered to officially open the new tennis courts at Perrysburg Rotary Community Park on Fort Meigs Road. Pictured from left, are Ron Stewart, PRAC; Jeff Normand, project architect and Rotarian; Council President and chairman of the recreation committee Joe Lawless; behind Mr. Lawless is Steve Hopkins, Rotary president, and Jon Eckel, director of public service; Mayor Nelson Evans; Councilmen Tom Mackin, Mike Olmstead and John Kevern; Rotarian Jim Euting and Tom St. Meyers, PRAC. doing it–it is the community doing it. There has been a lot of people who have donated their time and effort to make this come about.” “If there are other community groups who would like to become a part of this, we would love to have them come alongside and partner–that is why it is called Community Park and not just Rotary Park,” he added. “Hopefully this is just the beginning of many, many more city and community collaborations that makes Perrysburg such a wonderful place to live.” Sponsorships are available for the soccer fields–six half-sized fields for young children which can be converted to three full-sized fields–and two baseball diamonds for Little League play. Also, there are sponsor opportunities to fund wind- screens for the tennis courts. The Perrysburg Garden Club will be landscaping the park entrance and the boulevard entering the park. Mayor Nelson Evans told the group being mayor of Perrysburg is very simple “because the people in this town know what needs to be done and they do it. They don’t depend on government to get it done–we work as a team and everyone works together. It takes a group effort. Thank you.” For sponsorship opportunities, contact Judy Hagen, city recycling, litter and beautification coordinator, at 419-872-8034 or send an email to jhagen@ci.perrys burg.oh.us.

Zoar Lutheran Church is sponsoring r.a.d.KIDS (Resist Aggression Defensively) program August 6-9 at the church. The personal empowerment safety program is designed for elementary-aged children. It teaches children the skills they need to protect themselves from abduction, violence and exploitation. The curriculum includes home, school, and vehicle safety; Internet safety; avoiding predators and abductors; good, bad and uncomfortable touching, and responding to bullying. The program’s three principles are that children can say no; that what happens is not their fault, and that they can tell someone. These principles are key to giving children a psychological advantage in facing unsafe situations. Children ages 5 to 7 will attend from 9 to 11:30 a.m. each day; children 8 to 12 years old will attend from 12:30 to 3 p.m. The training is fun, interactive and informative.

The college unveiled its new state-of-the-art VRTEX 360 system, a virtual reality arc welding training system from Lincoln Electric, at a July 18 open house. Held at the college’s Arrowhead Park campus in Maumee, the open house featured free demonstrations on the two computer-based training systems the school purchased for $50,000 apiece. “Owens is the first academic institution in northwest Ohio to utilize the new virtual welding training system,” said Dave Siravo, director of skilled trades and apprenticeship training. Designed to allow students to practice their welding techniques in a simulated environment, the technology promotes the efficient and effective transfer of skills from the virtual training environment to the welding booth. Mr. Siravo said the unit is “very cost effective compared to traditional welding” since it reduces material waste, scrap and energy consumption. The new technology enables students to simulate SMAW (stick), GMAW (MIG) and FCAW (flux-colored) welding processes in multiple configurations and positions. Additionally, the system mimics welding environments, including a simulated welding booth training a working plant and a military installation. The realistic, hands-on training experience is designed to complement actual training conducted within welding booths. During the welding simulation, participants wear a VR Welding Helmet, which features internal monitors that immerse them in the virtual environment. To make the scenario as realistic as possible, students are required to wear gloves and other protective equipment while they work, explained Mr. Siravo. As students work, they “will hear and see the weld,” he said, adding that instructors also can watch the student’s progress on a monitor that sits atop the system. When a student completes a technique, his performance is measured through sensors in the handheld VR Welding Gun. Detailed information about the student’s technique for each pass is scored in the areas of position, arc length, work angle, travel angle and travel speed. The score is then posted on the monitor. “The report tells us areas the student needs to concentrate on,” Mr. Siravo said. When a student completes all the welds and receives a passing score on visual components, the weld is then bend tested virtually. “We’re testing for strength,” he said, adding that there are different bend tests. The instructor passed his weld through one bend test only to receive boos and hisses as the weld broke, but when he sent the weld through another bend test, the connection held, and the computer responded with cheers. The bend test tells the instructor and the student what techniques have yet to be mastered. For Mr. Siravo the beauty of the system is its portability. The machine can be taken onsite to help train employees on a technique for a specific weld. The new technology is used to conduct initial assessment of skills for employees of business and industry as part of Workforce and Community Services corporate training initiatives. Mr. Siravo said he leaves the unit on site for several days while workers practice welding. “When I come back, I download their information on my flash drive, pull up their results on my computer and review the reports.” Each worker’s results are relayed back to the company, with recommendations for areas of improvement. “It’s a great assessment tool for companies,” said Joe Peschel, programmer of workforce and community services. He noted that in the classroom, the system is a good tool for students learn welding techniques. Most of welding involves technique, he explained. “Once you have the technique, you are ready to move on to actual welding.” For more information on the welding program, visit the college’s Web site at www.owens.edu. –Jane Maiolo PUBLIC NOTICES “BECAUSE THE PEOPLE MUST KNOW” REALTY 14632 WOOD CREEK - New On Market Stylish 5 bed, 3 1/2 bath masterpiece.
