According to Theresa Pollick, Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) public information officer, funding is secure for the first
diverging diamond interchange (DDI) in northwest Ohio–I-475/State Route 25. Construction is expected to begin in the summer of 2016.
The estimated cost of the project is $8.75 million. The City of Perrysburg obtained a $3.4 million federal grant through the Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments (TMACOG) with ODOT paying for a 20 percent match, $800,000. ODOT also is providing $4.5 million in
safety funds.
Ms. Pollick said that SR 25 over I-475 has become heavily congested, especially during the evening rush hours. “New development
along Eckel Junction Road will only increase the amount of traffic using the interchange,” she added.
Studies have shown that a diverging diamond interchange reduces crashes between 19 and 46 percent due to the lessening of conflict
points from 26 in a conventional interchange to 14 in a DDI.
Only one other diamond exists in Ohio–on Roberts Road over I-270 in Columbus. And currently there are only 19 in the United States.
Perrysburg City Council approved a resolution supporting the use of this type of interchange in early 2013.

Road repairs, construction subject of Twp. trustees meeting
By Jane Maiolo
In conjunction with the
spring road construction
season, the Perrysburg
Township trustees discussed the repair of Hull
Prairie Road, connection
of Carronade Drive to
State Route 199 and the
Lime City/Buck roads
intersections.
At the April 1 meeting,
the trustees reviewed several options for repairing
Hull Prairie, which was
damaged by an ice flow
along the Maumee River
last month.
The trustees admitted to
being “pleasantly surprised” by the repair costs
which range from $12,150
to $32,450, depending on
which option is selected.
Trustee Gary Britten
believes the first option at
$32,450 will provide the
best repair.
“We’re better off going
with option one. We’ve got
to fix it right,” he said.
That involves reconstructing the washed out
area, removing the asphalt
grindings, adding an
aggregate base, asphalt
concrete and a coat.
The trustees agreed to
obtain quotes on the first
option.
Connecting Carronade
Drive to Route 199 also
was discussed. With plans
for a roundabout at the
intersection in the future,
the trustees said connection of the Carronade
extension to Route 199
needs to move forward.
A total of $50,000 was
set aside previously for the
connection, and the
trustees agreed to provide
up to $200,000 toward the
project, which is estimated
at $1 million for the connection and subsequent
roundabout.
“Our goal is to get a
grant awarded,” said
Trustee Bob Mack, suggesting they work with
Mike Stormer of ODOT
on a grant application.
With plans under way
for improvements to the
Buck and Lime City intersection, the trustees agreed
to commit up to $300,000
for the project, the township’s allocation.
Mr. Mack noted that
Rossford, Wood County
and Penta Career Center
officials are in agreement
with the $2.64 million project which involves construction of a roundabout.
“Everybody is comfortable with their local share
of the cost. It seems like
everybody’s on board,” he
added.
Zoning Applications
The trustees unanimously approved two zoning change requests for
parcels at 96777 Fremont
Pike and 28747 Glenwood
Road.
Bayer Park LLC, across
from the Target complex
on U.S. Route 20, submitted an application to
rezone 51.12 acres from
A-1 agricultural and R-6
manufactured home park
to C-2 community business.
“This brings the zoning
in line with others in the
area,” said Trustee Craig
LaHote.
Mr. Mack questioned
whether the applicant
understood that the
acreage is subject to the
overlay zone.
Zoning
inspector/
administrator Kelly Hemminger confirmed that the
company is aware of the
overlay.
The second request was
submitted by FAE Glenwood Properties for two
parcels on the west side of
Glenwood Road north of
State Route 795. Rossford’s corporate limits
abut the property’s west
side.
The company requested
to rezone the 4.82 acres
from C-2 community business to I-2 general industrial, and the owners plan
to operate a general contracting business at the
site.
Mr. Mack, pointing out
that the surrounding property is surrounded by
industrial, said, “I actually
thought it was zoned
industrial.”
The trustees asked if
the township zoning commission and the Wood
County Planning Commission supported the two
zoning changes.
Mrs. Hemminger said
the two commissions recommended unanimously
that both be approved.
Other Business
In other business, the
trustees:
•Approved an automatic aid agreement with the
City of Maumee for servicing accidents along the
Ohio Turnpike between
Exit 64 in the township
and Exit 59 in Maumee.
Fire Chief Tom Brice
said the widening of the
turnpike to three lanes in
both directions has left
insufficient room for
emergency vehicles to turn
around at designated
crossovers.
He said turnpike officials are requesting emergency vehicles enter only
at approved exits, and
noted that an emergency
responder was involved in
an accident in Cleveland a
few years ago, when the
vehicle was T-boned while
attempting to turnaround
at a median crossover
point.
As part of the agreement with Maumee, the
township will respond to
incidents occurring in the
westbound lanes, and
Maumee will answer eastbound calls.
•Authorized the disposal of obsolete and unused
township property through
Internet auction. Items to
be sold at auction include
computer servers and a
switch.
•Approved the purchase
of medical supplies for the
fire/EMS department at a
cost of $10,000.
•Reconciled the SWAT
account,
distributing
$7,000 to participating
agencies. Due to budget
constraints, the township
police department withdrew from SWAT this
year.
•Heard from recreation
director Bob Warnimont
that the township received
a grant of $9,000 for
installation of safety barriers at the Perrysburg
Heights playground. The
work is to begin this
spring.
•Learned that a lawsuit
filed against the township
by Shavell Johnson, following Mr. Johnson’s
arrest, was dismissed by
the U.S. District Court of
Northern Ohio.
•Announced that the
police department received
$3,275 for a 2008 Pontiac,
sold at ABC Auto Auction.
•Passed a resolution of
2015
appropriations
totalling $11.22 million.
•Heard from Mr. Britten
that the trustees seriously
discuss renovating or constructing a new township
hall.
He noted that the building has a series of prob-
lems and requested a list
of repairs from maintenance supervisor Kraig
Gottfried.
“I’ve got a list,”
responded Mr. Gottfried,
adding that the sanitary
sewer line tops the list,
due to deterioration.
•Agreed to allow a representative of Costco visit
with employees to discuss
membership.
The next trustees meeting will be at 6 p.m.,
Wednesday, April 15, at
the township meeting hall,
26609 Lime City Road,
and is open to the public.
Volunteers join in clean up effort at Buttonwood
City of Perrysburg
income tax office
offers extended hours
City of Perrysburg income tax returns for 2014 and
first quarter estimated tax payments for 2015 are due
on or before Wednesday, April 15.
Regular tax office hours of 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. will
be extended during the filing season to include additional hours today, Wednesday, April 8, from 5 to 7
p.m. and Saturday, April 11, from 9 a.m. to noon. The
tax office is located in the lower level of the municipal building, 201 West Indiana Avenue.
For assistance in preparing a Perrysburg tax return,
bring copies of federal returns and schedules, all
copies of W-2 wage statements and W-2G or 1099Misc forms. Partial year 2014 residents need to bring
pay stubs supporting income at move in or move out
dates.
Income tax questions by telephone will be
answered during regular office hours. Call 419-8728035 or send questions by email to itax@ci.perrys
burg.oh.us.
Perrysburg tax forms and instructions are available
online on the tax division’s webpage on the city’s
website at www.ci.perrysburg.oh.us. EZ filers may efile their returns via the link on the tax division webpage. Tax forms also are available at the tax division
office or at Way Public Library.
If you do not know whether you are required to file
a 2014 City of Perrysburg tax return, contact the tax
division office. Chapter 890.05 of the codified ordinances of the City of Perrysburg requires each “taxpayer” to complete and file a tax return whether or not
tax is due. Taxpayers include residents with taxable
income of any source and non-resident individuals
and enterprises doing business in Perrysburg. There is
no age or income limit.
In lieu of a tax return, retirees with no foreseeable
taxable income may file a retiree exemption form for
all future years. The retiree exemption form can be
found online or by contacting the tax division office.
For after-hours deposit of tax returns, with or without payments, a secure drop-slot is located in the atrium between the police station and the municipal
building.
On Saturday, more than 60 volunteers amassed at Buttonwood to assist with clean-up efforts at the Wood
County park situated on the banks of the Maumee River in Perrysburg Township. The park and Hull Prairie, the
road leading to the park entrance, sustained heavy damage last month after ice broke upstream on the Maumee,
sending enormous amounts of ice blocks cascading down the swift moving river. When it reached the area south of Fort
Meigs, the river already overflowing its banks, scattered ice blocks throughout the floodplain.
Neil Munger, director of the Wood County Park District, said people from several organizations came out to help
including Friends of the Park District, the Native American Powwow and local soccer association. Perrysburg and Perrysburg Township residents also helped with restoration efforts. “We had a good cross section of volunteers,” said Mr.
Munger, adding, “There are a lot of people here who care about their park.”
Armed with shovels, rakes and wheelbarrows, volunteers donned work gloves and went to work, removing gravel,
tree limbs and more from the soccer field site. Mr. Munger said the rushing river moved gravel from the parking lot to
the soccer fields. The park director expressed his appreciation to Perrysburg Township maintenance employees for
their work to reopen the end of Hull Prairie Road so volunteers could access the park. “I can’t say enough about how
much I appreciate the work they did. They did a great job getting the road open.”
Among Saturday’s volunteers was Bob Warnimont, township recreation director, who happened to be first to arrive at
the park. Even though Buttonwood as a county park does not fall under his jurisdiction, he said, “It’s still my community
and my park.”
Above, volunteers pick up debris from the field. Below left, Dane Andrews shows his strength as he picks up a log
and removes it from the grassy area. Bottom right, volunteers rake gravel from the northern end of the park.

Pipeline company sues land owners along gas line route
convenience and necessity,”
the lawsuit states.
In January and February,
North Coast delivered a
written “Notice of Intent to
Acquire and Good Faith
Offer” to each property
owner, but the parties have
been unable to agree upon
just compensation based on
the fair market value of the
land.
Those notices provided
an offer of compensation
and indicated that the property owners did not have to
accept the agreement.
It also warned that if the
agreement was not accepted,
the company could file suit
to acquire the easements by
eminent domain.
The OPSB was scheduled to meet Monday and
hear the appeal of residents
who would like the state
board to do a full review and
slow down the pipeline
process.
Attorney Albin Bauer II,
who is representing many of
the affected residents, said
they had hoped to hear a
decision from OPSB before
the process moved along.
“It is frustrating that
NCGT has initiated legal
action against owners before
the [OPSB] has made its
final decision, particularly
since NCGT has grossly
failed to comply with the
conditions of its certificate
which require NCGT to
work with the owners to
adjust the pipeline location
on properties to minimize
effects on future use of the
properties,” he stated in an
email last week.
State Representative Tim
Brown and State Senator
Randy Gardner were contacted about the lawsuits by
the residents. Both said they
would talk with OPSB and
Public Utilities Commission
of Ohio (PUCO) officials on
behalf of the residents.

Hive. Many people in the
book are descendants of Perrysburg’s pioneer families
and they tell how their
ancestors made their way
here.
“And the photos, they are
just tremendous–some as far
back as 1850 or 1860. What
these folks and others have
shared puts history back into
Perrysburg–and just in time
to celebrate our Bicentennial.”
The project was funded
by donations–the largest a
$10,000 grant from the
National Society Daughters
of the American Revolution,
Toledo’s Fort Industry Chapter.
Members Beverly St.
Clair and Chris Burkhart of
the non-profit group helped
write the application, said
Mr. Baranowski. The City of
Perrysburg and several civic
groups including Historic
Perrysburg Inc. and Country
Garden Club also contributed. The Way Public
Library Foundation facilitated the grant money and other
donations, he added.
One thousand copies will
be printed and the book will
sell for $25.
Mr. Baranowski said
complimentary copies will
be given to families interviewed, donors and schools.
Ian Dunn, City of Perrysburg software specialist,
helped design the cover–a
city map motif with a black
and gold color scheme.
The Perrysburg Messenger Journal is assisting in the
publication of the book as
well as coordinating details
with the printing company.
As Mr. Baranowski conducted the interviews during
the past 10 years, he envisioned the present book as a
highlight of the Bicentennial–complementing Ardath
Danford’s book, “The Perrysburg Story” written for
the 1966 Sesquicentennial.
The previous book also had
been a Way Library project,
as she was director at the
time.
In a forward for the new
book, written by Ms. Danford, before she died, she
praised Mr. Baranowski’s
publication for keeping local
history efforts going.
“I am indebted to many
people,” Mr. Baranowski
said. “I couldn’t have done
this without their help, and
all I can say is that we are
going to have a great history
book on Perrysburg.”
Ellen Ennest and Jazmin Mills, Perrysburg High School
juniors enrolled in digital video production at Penta,
highlight careers in the field, including game design,
animation and photography.

diagnostic and repair techniques as certified technicians.
They also study cyber
security, basic electronics
and robotics, he said,

Historic Perrysburg seeking nominations for the Bentley Historic Preservation Award
‘We have to remember Hilda Bentley and what she has done’
Historic Perrysburg, Inc.
(HPI) is seeking nominations
for its annual Bentley Historic Preservation Award.
The purpose of the award
is to increase awareness of
Perrysburg’s heritage by recognizing individuals, organizations, businesses and
agencies whose contributions demonstrate outstanding
commitment
to
excellence in historic preservation, local history or promotion of the heritage of the
community.
In addition to public and
private buildings and structures, historic preservation
projects may include media,
publications, presentations
and exhibits, parks, burial
grounds, public art, oral history, theater productions,
events and video presentations.
This is the fifth year Historic Perrysburg will present
the Bentley Award. The inaugural award was presented to
Welch Publishing in 2011.
Subsequent awards were presented to WGTE “Toledo
Stories” series, to local historian C. Robert Boyd Sr. and
to Rev. Monsignor Marvin
Borger.
This award was established by HPI after discovering what Hilda Bentley and
her family did for historic
preservation not only in Perrysburg and neighboring
communities,
but
also
statewide and nationwide.
The late Mrs. Bentley was
known as a historic preservationist. She worked for
decades to preserve historical
architecture and sites in the
Maumee River Valley and
around the country.
The Perrysburg resident
was a member of the National Trust for Historic
Preservation and served as an
advisor for the National Trust
of Ohio for two terms. She
also served on the study
committee for goals and
preparations for the trust in
Washington, D.C. In 1991,
Mrs. Bentley was named advisor emeritus for the National Trust.
She was a member of the
Ohio Historical Society,
served on the state Preservation Advisory Board and on
the board of trustees on the

Preservation Award in 1986
for her efforts in the Maumee
Valley and throughout the
state.
The preservationist was

Public health is credited
with adding 25 to 30 years of
the life expectancy for people
in the United States in this
century, according to the
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
However, if asked, “What
is Public health?” the average
person may say something
like “healthcare for low-income families.”
Public health professionals focus on protecting the
health of entire populations.
The goal is to prevent disease
and injury through population-based prevention programs.
The Wood County Health
District promotes healthy
lifestyles through educational
programs, developing policies, administering services,
conducting research, monitoring community health status to identify community
health problems and health
hazards in the county and
working with community
partners to help solve community health problems.
The health district also
focus on controlling infectious disease, enforcing laws
and regulations that protect
health and ensure safety, reducing environmental hazards, violence, substance
abuse and injury.

with the Garden Club of
America (GCA). She served
as a national officer of the

Preservation.
She also served as chairman of the National Committee to Preserve the Redwoods and was instrumental
in enlarging the size of the
GCA to be one of the largest
in the country.
As her interest in preservation grew, she became a

For example, the U.S. has
had the highest obesity rates
across all age groups for
decades. Adolescents have
the highest rate of pregnancies and are more likely to acquire sexually transmitted
diseases.
In Wood County, chlamydia was the most commonly
reported infectious disease in
2014. Drug-related mortality
is another public health issue.
Wood County loses more
years of life to alcohol and
other drugs than people in

The President’s 2014 National Drug Control Strategy
noted that drug-induced overdose deaths now surpass
homicides and car crash
deaths.
There are many challenges to overcome and it

‘William Wells and the Struggle for the Old Northwest’
topic of lecture at Fort Meigs on Thursday, April 9
Dr. William Heath, author
and professor emeritus at
Mount Saint Mary’s University, will present “William
Wells and the Struggle for
the Old Northwest” on
Thursday, April 9, 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.
Born to Anglo-American
parents on the Appalachian
frontier, captured by the
Miami Indians at the age of
13, and adopted into the tribe,
William Wells (1770-1812)
moved between two cultures
all his life but was comfortable in neither.
Vilified by some historians for his divided loyalties,
he remains relatively unknown even though he is
worthy of comparison with
such famous frontiersmen as
Daniel Boone and Davy
Crockett.
Wells married Chief Little
Turtle’s daughter and distinguished himself as a Miami
health is promoting healthcare equity, quality and accessibility.
The Wood County Community Health and Wellness
Center, part of the Wood
County Health District,
works toward that effort by
offering comprehensive medical services for all, from prenatal care, to infants through
seniors, including behavioral
health, reproductive health,
clinical pharmacy and dispensing pharmacy services.
The health center is contracted with many different
insurance companies and is
accepting new patients with
or without insurance. A sliding fee scale, based on income, is available for all
patients. No one is refused
services for inability to pay.
While public health professionals have made significant
contributions
to
improving population health
over the last century through
public health efforts such as:
recognizing tobacco as a
health hazard; reducing
deaths from heart attack and
stroke; immunizations to
help eradicate smallpox and
dramatically decrease the
number of cases of polio,
measles and other diseases;
healthier mothers and babies;
motor vehicle safety; fluoridation of water to prevent

Perrysburg native JoJo
Ginn will star in the dark comedy “Reconciling” at the 2015
Edinburgh Fringe Festival in

Ms. Ginn was involved
with Perrysburg’s Summer
Theatre Program, drama clubs
at Perrysburg junior and senior high schools, as well as

PHS production of “Beauty
and the Beast.” She received a
bachelor of fine arts degree in
musical theatre and is completing her master of fine arts
degree at London’s drama
school, East 15.
“Perrysburg is where I fell
in love with theatre. I was surrounded by so many wonderful passionate teachers and
friends while growing up in
Perrysburg. Without their influence, I may never of pursued it professionally,” said
Ms. Ginn. “I am very lucky
and thankful. Every theatre
and music teacher I had prepared me for the journey I am
now on, the community at
large who supports the arts
who made it possible for the
JoJo Ginn
arts programs in Perrysburg to
exist, my friends and family,
the list goes on and on.”
Produced by the Barrington Collective, “Reconciling”
explores how three couples’
unique problems complement
and crash into each other.

Columbus. The event attracted 80 students in grades K12, representing more than 50 elementary, junior highs
and high schools from throughout the state.
Winning for Lial School were third grader Addison Wilhelms and sixth grader Jada Wilhelms, both of Perrysburg.
Neither girl lost a game the entire day and outscored other
teams with as many as five players.
Going into the fifth and final round, the Wilhelm girls
were tied for first place, each with a record of 4-0, so Jada
and Addison had to play each other to determine the overall winner in their section. The match ended in a draw, resulting in Jada and Addison tied for first.
The Lial team of two scored a total of nine points on the
day, followed by a team from Dublin scoring 6.5 points.

‘The Other Trail of Tears: The Removal of Ohio Indians’ St. Paul’s Lutheran Church
hosting rummage sale
topic of lecture at Fort Meigs on Thursday, April 16
Dr. Mary Stockwell,
Earhart 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., in the Fort Meigs visitor center in Perrysburg. The
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.
Mary Stockwell’s book, The
Other Trails of Tears (Westholme Publishing, 2015),
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.
Mary 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 is currently 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.

Powerful security
of EMV ‘chip cards’
explained to chamber
SECOND SECTION
By Beth Church
Leah Lanius recently
spoke to Perrysburg Area
Chamber of Commerce
members, surprising them
with an explanation of “what
will be in their wallets.”
At the March luncheon
meeting, Ms. Lanius of
Affinity Merchants Solutions
in Perrysburg explained the
upcoming EMV credit cards.
“If you haven’t already,
you will be getting them over
the next year,” she said.
The EMV card–which
stands for Europay, MasterCard and Visa–also is referred to as a chip card, smart
card, chip-and-PIN or chipand-signature,
The card contains an embedded, encrypted microprocessing chip, which
provides “powerful security
for payments,” Ms. Lanius
said.
Her company helps businesses establish a system to
accept credit cards from customers.
In the United States, she
believes the chip-and-sign
method will be used instead
of chip-and-PIN.
“We’re used to swiping
the card and signing,” she
said.
The secure technology is
used worldwide in credit,
debit and pre-paid cards.
“It’s virtually impossible
to clone an EMV card,” Ms.
Lanius added.
There are three ways the
chip cards can be used–
through contact, contact-less
and mobile.
To make a purchase, the
user inserts the card into a device (no longer “swiping” it
along a slot), and then the
transaction takes place. The
device requires the user to
enter a PIN or sign.
The chip card generates a
unique code for each transaction.
The contact-less systems
allow the card to merely be
“tapped” against the device
to begin the transaction.
Through the mobile
method, a bank can securely
download a user’s EMV card
onto a smart phone. The
phone then is placed over top
of a credit card terminal to
initiate the transaction.
“And with an iPhone,
you’ll use your thumbprint,”
she added.
Ms. Lanius explained that
the technology was invented
in 1977, became popular in
Europe from 2005-06 and
then took hold in Canada by
2011.
“We’re a little bit behind,”
she acknowledged.
Part of the difficulty in establishing EMV cards in the
United States is the more
than 10,000 major financial
institutions in this nation.
In comparison, there are
about 5,000 in Canada.
“With increased [security]
breaches, there’s more of a
fire lit, and we’re moving
forward,” she said.
The cost of credit card
fraud totaled $11 billion last
year, she added.
Old credit/debit cards

Debbie Paul of First Energy, who are both chamber board members.
that is swiped for the information to be transferred to
the credit card terminal.
“Some merchants can
steal that information,” Ms.
Lanius said, noting that illegal practice is known as
“skimming.”
However, the EMV card’s
unique code–even if copied–
cannot be used a second time.
“Right now, if your card is
stolen, you are not liable [for
purchases illegally made],”
she said, and that liability
will not change with EMV
cards.
She pointed out that the
new cards will not help with
credit card fraud on-line or
over the phone.
“It’s really for the face-toface environment,” she said.
CitiCard already has
started issuing chip cards,
and Ms. Lanius played a
video of a TV commercial by
the credit card company explaining its new card.
Local businesses and merchants accepting Visa, Master Card, American Express
or Discover cards have a
deadline of October 1, 2015
to begin using the chip card
system.
Also at that time, the
fraud liability will shift, she
warned.
Currently the bank is liable for an illegal charge–not
the consumer and not the
business where the transaction took place.
But after October 1, the liable party will be “whoever
has the lesser technology,”
whether that is the merchant
who does not have a device
to process EMV card transactions–or the credit card company that has yet to issue
EMV cards.
“It’s really important that
businesses know the date
they are to upgrade by,” Ms.
Lanius emphasized.
However, the new equipment that businesses must
purchase to read the EMV
cards is not yet available in
the United States.
“They should be coming
any minute,” she added.
Ms. Lanius cautioned
chamber members to be
aware of companies taking
advantage of merchants who
don’t understand the new
system and can be convinced
to purchase the wrong equipment.
She also advised against
waiting until mid-September
to try to purchase the necessary equipment.
“Who knows how many
people are going to wait?
There could be a back order
of equipment or increased
costs.”

Ballet Theatre of Toledo to premier ‘The Little Mermaid’
Ballet Theatre of Toledo’s
“The Little Mermaid” swims
and dances into Toledo April
17-19, at Trinity Episcopal
Church. Nigel Burgoine,
BTT’s artistic director and
choreographer, has brought
Hans Christian Andersen’s
love story of a beautiful mermaid and a handsome prince
to life.
“This timeless story has
been popular through the
ages” said Mr. Burgoine. “As I
began choreographing this ballet, I immediately thought of
areas around the world that I
have visited and envisioned
the undersea worlds of the
island of Paxos, Greece and
the reef in Recife, Brazil.
While diving in these locations, I became aware of how
the underwater creatures move
to the rhythm of the sea which
is very much like dancers,
dancing to the rhythm of the
music.”

and experiences the power of
love from the sea to the land.

Simon will dance the role of
Sirenetta, the Little Mermaid.
A sophomore at Perrysburg
High School, she has been

Spaghetti dinner to benefit project in Haiti
Missions International of America of Perrysburg led its 35th team into the Savanette
in Haiti in March of this year. A drought since Christmas has left the area dead and brown,
with no crops, no work, no income and no food.
After 10 years of work in the area, MIA faces its biggest crisis. Its drip irrigation system is providing the only fresh food to the community but it desperately needs expanded.
MIA hopes to hire men to expand the gardens, while earning wages to care for their
families.
A benefit spaghetti dinner will be held Wednesday, April 22, from 5 to 7 p.m., at First
United Methodist Church of Perrysburg, 200 West Second Street. Meals are available to
eat in or take out. All proceeds will benefit the MIA project in Haiti.

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
video, audio and stunning
images.
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.
Above: Part of the Guitar exhibit at Imagination Station. Below: A see-through guitar.
“Sound impacts our lives
on a near-constant basis, but
many people never think
about how sound is created
and transmitted.”
“The guitar is the most
enduring icon in American
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

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

April 14, will emphasize
what parents need to know
about pre-teen and teen actions in the cyber-world, the
dangers created, and what
parents can and should do to
safeguard their children.
Mr. Mann stresses that the
first line of defense is knowledge, and the end game for
every student and parent is,
“think before you click.”
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

N Weekdays—Monday through Friday (excluding
holidays) from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Residents must stop

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

ity, critical thinking, anthropology, religion, literature,
international affairs and
Shakespeare, among others.
Each presentation and panel
discussion is a collaborative
effort between Honors Program students and Owens
faculty members.
In addition, the Owens
Honors Program will recognize students for their educational
success
and
leadership with the bestowing of an Owens Honors
Program medallion.
The Honors Program at
Owens provides a challenging educational opportunity,
above and beyond the standard curriculum, for exceptional students who strive

To be considered for admission into the selective
program, a currently enrolled student must have a
minimum 3.2 grade point
average (GPA) with 12 credits completed at Owens. A

cumulative 3.5 grade point
average and complete an
honors portfolio where they
engage in directed research
or service learning around
essential
questions

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 three-dimensional 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.

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 kit-
tens 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

Black Swamp Conservancy
to host Earth Day presentation
Black Swamp Conservancy is inviting the public to
commemorate Earth Day by
attending “Life in the Western Basin: an Earth Day Conversation” on Wednesday,
April 22. The program, which
is free and open to the public,
will take place at the W.W.
Knight Nature Preserve in
Perrysburg, starting at 7 p.m.
Black Swamp Conservancy, a northwest Ohio land
conservation organization, is
bringing together three local
experts to speak on our great
local resource–Lake Erie and
its watershed.
Presenters include retired
outdoors editor Steve Pollick;
environmental educator and
advocate for conservation
and land preservation, Cheryl
Harner, and University of
Toledo Professor of Ecology
Christine Mayer. The presentations will be followed by
questions from the audience
and an open discussion.
“A lot of attention has
been placed on our watershed
lately, and not always in the
most positive light,” said
Sarah Brokamp, Conservancy advancement coordinator. “We wanted to offer a
public program which reminds us how fortunate we
are to have this amazing natural resource.”
More information about
this event can be found by
going to Black Swamp Conservancy’s website at Black
Swamp.org, or by calling
419-872-5263.
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.
“Female cats can have as
many as three litters a year,
and kittens can breed as
young as four months old,”
says Dr. Monica Monto, veterinarian, Humane Ohio.
“Most people don’t want to
see the cats they’re feeding
get pregnant over and over
again, so our “Community
Cat” campaign is a great opportunity for them to get
these cats fixed now.”
This special is available
to all residents of Ohio and
Michigan. Residents feeding
outdoor free-roaming cats
who wish to take advantage
of this offer must mention
the “Community Cat” campaign when scheduling their
appointment. Appointments
are based on availability.
Those interested should visit
humaneohio.org or call 419266-5607.

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,
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.
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.

PETS OF THE WEEK
In ancient Roman times, “Magnus” was
sometimes used as a first name to indicate the
“greatness” of an individual of note, and
that’s where we got the inspiration for naming
this handsome guy. Our Magnus is definitely
a type-A personality—a Big Man on Campus,
so to speak. He is so talkative and chatty,
even when no one (cat or human) seems to be
listening to him. He craves attention. He’ll
beg to be petted. (He REALLY loves to be
petted, actually!) In short, Magnus is the kind of fella that cannot
(and will not) be overlooked. If you need a big presence in your
life, then you might want to come meet Magnus. He will gladly
fill the role of the leading man in your life.
Miley is pretty much the quintessential
Jack Russell terrier. This 7-ish-year-old
is very energetic and loves to play, so she
would be best suited for a forever home
that can provide her with lots of stimulation and exercise. Miley also can be
something of diva—but in an adorable
way. She would definitely prefer to be
the only child (animal or human) in the
household. In fact, Miley’s ideal match
would probably be a recently retired
individual or couple with lots of newly
free time to devote exclusively to this intelligent, athletic, fearless,
and tenacious little sweetheart.
*All of our pets have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated appropriate to their age, tested for heart worm and current on prevention
in dogs, received an initial de-worming and flea prevention, have a
14-day health guarantee and a free physical exam to local participating veterinary offices. All of our pets are also microchipped
prior to adoption.
Bring this advertisement to the shelter when you come to adopt
one of our featured animals and receive $10 off the animal’s
regular adoption price (not combined with any other specials)
with an approved application.
Please visit or call the Wood County Humane Society at 419-352-7339
to learn more about these great pets. All of our adoptable animals can
be viewed by visiting www.WoodCountyHumaneSociety.org.

Hospice of Northwest Ohio lecture to discuss
importance of advance directives, on 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 pa-
tient. 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
April natural gas costs
decrease over last year
April ends winter heating
season with bills lower than
winter of 2013-14 as natural
gas costs among lowest in nation.
The cost of natural gas,
and in turn residential natural
gas bills, continue to fall for
Columbia Gas of Ohio customers.
Columbia Gas has announced the Standard Choice
Offer (SCO) price for April
2015 will be $.39 per 100
cubic feet (ccf), compared to
$.59 per Ccf for April 2014.
The average residential
natural gas bill for April is
projected to be $72.47, marking a decrease of $10.86 from
the April 2014 average projected bill of $83.33.
April also brings closure to
the traditional winter heating
season, and residential bills
showed a slight decline over
last winter.
For the 2014-15 winter
heating season—traditionally
identified at November, December, January, February
and March—the average residential bill was projected to
be $518.04, an overall decrease of $53.41 from the
2013-14 winter heating season bill of $571.45. It was
nearly half the record winter
heating season bill of
$1,062.59, set in winter of
2005-06.
The most recent information from the U.S. Energy Information
administration
(EIA) shows that Ohio natu-
ral gas costs are the 14th lowest in the nation. This is
below neighboring states of
Michigan (16th), Kentucky
(21st) and Pennsylvania
(31st).
A sharp decrease in natural
gas costs over the past decade
due to increased supply from
the Marcellus and Utica shale
deposits, along with aggressive energy conservation programs have helped drive
down bills for consumers.
These factors have led to
Ohioans having some of the
lowest natural gas bills in the
country.
Columbia Gas of Ohio
safely delivers clean and efficient natural gas to approximately 1.4 million customers
in 61 of Ohio’s 88 counties.
With headquarters in Columbus, it is one of the seven energy distribution companies
of NiSource Inc. (NYSE: NI)
and is the largest natural gas
utility in the state. NiSource
companies deliver energy to
approximately 3.8 million
customers located within the
high-demand energy corridor
stretching from the Gulf
Coast through the Midwest to
New England. More information about Columbia Gas of
Ohio is available at:
ColumbiaGasOhio.com. Be
sure to call 811 at least two
business days before you dig.

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

Advance Care Planning
(ACP) Decisions, a non-profit
foundation implementing systems and technologies to improve the quality of care
delivered to patients in the
